Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 419 419. Weaving

After chatting for more than half an hour, Zhu Xiuyuan's mood gradually calmed down.

I also accepted this reality in my heart...

Hey, reality is always unsatisfactory, but since it has already happened, we can’t avoid it and face it head on!
After Zhu Xiuyuan calmed down, he suddenly thought of a question.

What did he come to Huamanlou for?

He came here to ask Kou Wanwan for some information about Luo Ding.

Unexpectedly, Kou Wanwan's pregnancy came in, and Zhu Xiuyuan was so worried that he forgot about the business in Java.

Now that the pregnancy was over, Zhu Xiuyuan casually asked about Luo Ding.

"The Nu family has already prepared the matter regarding Luo Ding. We are just waiting for the Young Master to ask, hehe..."

"Behind this Luo Ding, there must be a big man standing." Zhu Xiuyuan frowned, "Otherwise he wouldn't come to provoke me, you know, I'm wearing an iron hat of a 'bad star' on my head now! Ordinary people have no time to hide, so how can anyone go up there?"

"King Jinling, and King Kuaiji!" Kou Wanwan opened her red lips lightly and spoke out the two names straightforwardly.

"King of Jinling? King of Kuaiji?" Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised.

His impression of these two princes was from a few days ago, the day after he moved to the capital.

That morning, the King of Jinling sent a servant. What was he doing specifically?Zhu Xiuyuan forgot.Anyway, since we haven’t met in person, it’s considered a rejection.

Now that so many days have passed, he has done several shocking things in Beijing...

During this period, the King of Jinling and the King of Kuaiji rarely showed up, and even Zhu Xiuyuan almost forgot that there were such two figures in the capital.

After reviewing the information about King Jinling and King Kuaiji, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

This King of Jinling is the eldest son of the empress of the current dynasty, and also the eldest son of Emperor Chen.

His title is not simple either. The word "Jinling" in King of Jinling is the old name of Healthy City, the capital of the Chen Kingdom!
Who among ordinary princes would dare to use such a title?

In other words, this Jinling King is not simple, the energy behind it must be very huge!
Although King Jinling is the eldest son of the emperor, he is not the crown prince... but he still cannot be underestimated.

This is a formidable enemy!
"How come Luo Ding is entangled with King Jinling?" Zhu Xiuyuan muttered to himself, lost in thought.

"Young master, I don't know. A few days ago, the reason why Zhang Ke dared to spy on Shenleifang was actually encouraged by Luo Ding. Seeing that Zhang Ke was exposed, Luo Ding was frightened to death. He went back to discuss with his father and defected secretly. King Jinling...The King of Jinling was originally annoyed that the young master refused to see the boy he sent. Because of his embarrassing status, he was most afraid that others would underestimate him, so the King of Jinling and Luo Ding hit it off..."

Kou Wanwan spoke slowly, explaining Zhu Xiuyuan's doubts clearly.

"That's it!" Zhu Xiuyuan nodded. He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Kou Wanwan and said with a smile, "Miss Kou, I wonder how many restaurants you have under your name?"

"Young master, have you found a way to deal with it?" Kou Wanwan asked with a smile.

"There is a method that, if done correctly, can make Luo Ding and the King of Jinling play with fire and burn themselves, dig a hole and jump out!" Zhu Xiuyuan laughed when he thought of that method.

Fighting with others is indeed endless fun!

……

After coming out of Huamanlou, Zhu Xiuyuan had already negotiated a "cooperation" with Kou Wanwan.Kou Wanwan was naturally willing to cooperate with Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Not enough!" Zhu Xiuyuan muttered to himself while walking on Chaoku Street.Suddenly his expression changed, and he had an idea: "Go to Brother Liu!"

The plan was decided, Zhu Xiuyuan took Yan Dashan and rushed to Prince Zhenze's Mansion in the capital.

Na Yan Dashan followed Zhu Xiuyuan all the way, his eyebrows protruding in the shape of "Chuan".

My benefactor came to have a private meeting with Kou Wanwan and stayed in the flower-filled building for so long...

Yan Dashan is a kind man. He waited outside Huamanlou, terrified the whole time. He always felt that it was inappropriate to "participate" in his benefactor's private meeting with the girl...

Will he be silenced in the future?
Zhu Xiuyuan naturally didn't notice his random thoughts. They rushed all the way to Prince Zhenze's Mansion, handed over the greeting card, and waited for a while, then Liu Wencai went out to greet him in person...

……

After half an hour.

Zhu Xiuyuan left Prince Zhenze’s Mansion.

He was in a good mood and always had a smile on his face.

Things are done, hehe...

Zhu Xiuyuan felt that he was also a dark person. He probably... learned this from his father-in-law, Dong Cheng!

However, when he was happy, he glanced at Yan Dashan and saw that Yan Dashan had a sad face.

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Dashan, why do you keep such a straight face? Are you unhappy?"

"My benefactor..." Yan Dashan cupped his hands, a little embarrassed.

Zhu Xiuyuan's heart moved, this statement is not normal!
"Da Shan, don't hold it back if you have something to say." Zhu Xiuyuan's face straightened and he stared at his face carefully, "Could it be that... you have a girl you like? Haha, don't be shy, tell me and I will be your matchmaker! Betrothal gifts, mansions, servants, everything else, the uncle's house has taken care of it all for you..."

Zhu Xiuyuan was in a good mood. Although what he said was true, there was also a sense of ridicule in it.

"No... my benefactor, my subordinate... my subordinate..." Yan Dashan still couldn't say it. He was a big man like an iron tower, but he was so coquettish at this moment that Zhu Xiuyuan looked anxious.

"Say! What a manly man, why are you so dilly-dallying!"

Yan Dashan's whole body was agitated and he blurted out: "My benefactor has a private meeting with the bandit girl, this is... inappropriate!" After saying this, he immediately lowered his head.

As a subordinate, he actually discussed the personal affairs of his benefactor... It was indeed a big mistake.

"Eh... this question..." Now it was Zhu Xiuyuan's turn to hesitate, "Uh-huh, Dashan, this matter is not what you imagined, you just need to remember that I am looking for Miss Kou to... do business! It’s nothing else, don’t mention it in front of outsiders, do you understand?”

"My subordinate knows, benefactor, please rest assured, I will not mention a word to outsiders!" Yan Dashan hurriedly lowered his head and assured.

He was provoked by Zhu Xiuyuan's words just now, and he blurted out such rebellious words, which was already a taboo...

He really didn’t dare to talk nonsense to anyone!

"Okay!" Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Yan Dashan who was serious and nodded repeatedly.

……

When Zhu Xiuyuan returned to the uncle's house, it was already dinner time.

It happened that Dong Cheng also came back from the county government office, and the family gathered in the flower hall of the main house for dinner.

After dinner, Zhu Xiuyuan told his father-in-law Dong Cheng what happened today.

Including the failure to buy a restaurant, and the failure was because Luo Ding was causing trouble behind the scenes.

"Jiangning Weaving Bureau?"

A smile appeared on Dong Cheng's slightly tired face.

"My dear son-in-law, I don't know. Since I took over as the magistrate of Jiangning County, in addition to leading the reconstruction of the county government, I have also been collecting various files and documents in an attempt to control all things in the county government as soon as possible... Hahaha, God's will, it is God's will Ah, hehehe..."

As Dong Cheng was talking, he suddenly laughed loudly and clapped his knees with both hands.

"Why is daddy laughing?" Dong Shuyu asked hurriedly.

Not only Dong Shuyu felt strange, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen were also puzzled.

"Hahaha..." Dong Cheng gradually stopped laughing, "Because the county government was destroyed, not a single volume of files and copywriting in the government office was left. And the files and copywriting transferred externally are always in the minority, and they are not comprehensive... ...However, among the files collected, there happens to be a file from Jiangning Weaving Bureau!"

"Father-in-law just laughed, could it be because there is something wrong with the file of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau?" Zhu Xiuyuan guessed.

"Not bad!"

Dong Cheng nodded and his face became serious.

"Judging from the only files and documents, Jiangning Weaving Bureau is very normal and has no problems. However... we have an abacus and a special method taught by the wise son-in-law to the subordinates... We soon discovered that Jiangning Weaving Bureau Not only is there a problem, it’s a huge problem!”

"But I don't know what the problem is?" Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly became interested.

This is really... sleepiness meets the pillow!

"The ambassador of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau is in charge of the weaving affairs of Runzhou Prefecture and surrounding states and counties. There is a lot of money, so it is a good position. Therefore, the ambassador of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau... is corrupt, and he has been corrupted."

Dong Cheng didn't say anything, he just made a "one" gesture with his hand.

"One...a million taels?" Zhu Xiuyuan guessed.

"Wrong, you have to go up!" Dong Cheng said with a serious face.

"Hiss!" Zhu Xiuyuan took a breath of air.

"Hiss!" Dong Shuyu also took a breath.

Dong Shuzhen looked shocked, patted her chest and exclaimed: "There are so many, I can buy several houses!"

Bought several houses?
Everyone glanced at Dong Shuzhen, then passed her by, not bothering to pay attention to her.

"Well, but this is the cumulative total over the past seven or eight years."

Dong Cheng nodded, the shock on his face still lingering

"My country, Chen, is located in the Jiangnan area, a land of plenty. It is the richest place in the world. In addition, Jiangnan West Road, Jiangnan East Road, and Lingnan Road are naturally not bad, and any one of them can be worth it. The entire Liang State. In addition, our Chen State cannot prohibit merchants and has many transactions with foreigners from foreign countries... Based on this, the annual wealth of our Chen State can reach an astonishing more than 2000 million taels. In good years, more than 3000 million taels It’s not impossible to do both!”

"This little Jiangning Weaving Bureau, haha! In just a few years, it embezzled half of the imperial court's annual wealth!"

Dong Cheng shook his head, his face was a little ugly.

Thinking about him, Dong Cheng, he has always been diligent and conscientious in his work as an official, and he has never been greedy for a single cent of his own money. Corrupt officials like the Ambassador of Jiangning Textile Bureau made him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart!
"It's the most abominable thing for these corrupt people to try to steal people's wealth from me, Da Chen! Dad, when will we be able to bring him to justice?" Dong Shuyu frowned slightly.

Her face, which had always been cold and calm for many years, was now filled with anger.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly knew that Dong Shuyu was extremely angry.

Because she rarely shows strong emotions, although she is very angry, in the eyes of others, she is only slightly angry.

Dong Shuyu has been in business for a long time and has seen the world. He is not someone like Dong Shuzhen who has no specific concept of money.

1000 million taels!

If it were used to help those in need, how many people would it be able to help?

As the daughter of the Dong family, Dong Shuyu learned all the advantages of Dong Cheng.Although Dong Cheng is occasionally sinister, he is quite upright. He is a "capable official" who knows how to deal with dark forces, rather than a "good official" in the general sense.
