Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 430
It is said that there is another chaos in the capital today. The city gates are closed, and the Royal Forest Guards come out in full force, breaking down doors, taking away people, and ransacking homes...

The proceeds from confiscating homes in the city alone amounted to more than ten million taels!

This is fully half of the entire Chen country’s wealth in one year!
And all of it was deposited into Huangzhuang, Chen Huang's small treasury.

Emperor Chen was so happy that he had no intention of staying in Jinshen Hall any longer.

In addition, his beloved concubine You Guifei was so smelly from the urine in the hall that she almost died!
Emperor Chen wanted to end the court meeting early.

After defying all opinions and making Dong Cheng the governor of Runzhou Prefecture, he took Concubine You and fled the court...

The court has dispersed, and the ministers have retreated one after another.

Prime Minister Li Zhong looked sternly, stared at Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng, shook his sleeves, snorted coldly, and turned away.

The rest of the ministers did the same, rolled up their sleeves and snorted away.

Of course, there are also "centrist" ministers, military generals such as King Zhongshan, and officials who came on the bench for the previous two major cases.

They didn't show any signs and left as soon as they went to court...

In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left in this huge court.

"Congratulations to Dong Fuyin..." Yang Tingyu came over with a smile, followed by several civil servants, "From Jingxian County Magistrate to Runzhou Fuyin, Dong Fuyin is the fastest, haha..."

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng hurriedly returned the gift, and Dong Cheng smiled and said: "I am only able to be where I am today, thanks to the support of Lord Nai!"

"When I was in Jiangzhou, I knew that Dong Fuyin was a man who could get things done, and with your son-in-law... Haha, in fact, I had already expected that one day we would be ministers together, but I didn't expect it to happen like this. quick!"

After Yang Tingyu finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Xiuyuan again: "You have made a difference. When I am standing, you dare to sit down. Your position is still in front of the imperial steps..."

"I wish my uncle has made great achievements again this time. He will be granted the title of Marquis and King just around the corner!" At this time, King Zhenze came over and patted his shoulder heavily with his "starry" hand.

"But Mr. Yang is right. Your Majesty gave you a seat, and you actually took it? You are sitting while we old guys are standing, which is outrageous!" King Zhenze pretended to have a serious face.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng hurriedly apologized and said, "This is our fault. I'll treat you two to a drink later to apologize, and please give me a reward!"

"It's almost there!"

……

Several people chatted all the way out of the palace.

After leaving Chengtianmen, several people said goodbye to each other, and then boarded their carriages to return home.

But Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng quickly returned to Xufu Street and arrived in front of the Jiangcheng Bofu.

When the two got off the carriage, they saw that the street was empty and deserted. The bustling hustle and bustle of the past had long since disappeared.

There was even a squad of Kingsguard galloping past...

On the way back just now, Zhu Xiuyuan had already learned that the Royal Forest Guards still had some tails to deal with, and the city's martial law might have to last until half an hour later.

"Husband, father, you are finally back!" Dong Shuzhen's voice suddenly came from the direction of the house door.

Zhu Xiuyuan hurriedly turned around and saw that the red painted door was opened a crack, and a beautiful head poked out.

Who is Dong Shuzhen if not his wife?
"Miss!"

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng walked over.

"Husband, it was so scary just now. The whole city was in chaos, and there were a lot of black armors running around on the streets, arresting people everywhere..."

Dong Shuzhen pushed open the door of the house, ran over in a leap, and hung directly on Zhu Xiuyuan with a leap.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a step back, patted Dong Shuzhen on the back, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's all over!"

"I wanted to go out to find a husband, but my sister wouldn't let me..." Dong Shuzhen put her hands around Zhu Xiuyuan's neck, her chubby face was pure and delicate.

Her voice was as sticky as ever.

It's tooth-droppingly sweet.

But Zhu Xiuyuan was very fond of this trick.

"It's dangerous outside, it's safest to stay in the house..." Zhu Xiuyuan said, and suddenly found that he was being "illuminated" by countless gazes.

Dong Cheng's eyes flashed, feeling sad that his little cotton-padded jacket had been stolen by a bad guy named "son-in-law."

Inside the open door of the mansion, Dong Shuyu's face turned red.

The three maids Chun Xue, Dong Mei and Qiu Wen couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering, while the girl Xia Wu smiled like an aunt.

There was a group of people behind Dong Shuyu, who seemed to be the servants and maids in the mansion, and they all lowered their heads...

Zhu Xiuyuan was suddenly embarrassed. He quickly put down his wife, glanced at the door of the mansion, and forced a smile: "Shuyu, are everyone here? Well... who are they?"

Embarrassed, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly saw a group of people in the courtyard, who looked like ordinary people.

"They are hawkers who come to the city to sell goods. There was a chaos in the city just now and they had nowhere to go. Zhen'er and I decided to let them go into the house to take shelter..."

Dong Shuyu said that he walked out of the house, stepped forward, and saluted Dong Cheng.

"Oh, that's it, okay..." Zhu Xiuyuan laughed.

At this time, Dong Shuzhen also knew that she was embarrassed and hid behind Zhu Xiuyuan. If her husband took a step, she would follow...

"Dad, Xiuyuan, what happened just now? Why did the Royal Forest Guards mobilize in full force and seal all the city gates?" Dong Shuyu asked again.

"Yes, husband, what happened just now? It seems like the sky has fallen." Dong Shuzhen is also a wonderful person, and the embarrassment was resolved instantly.

"It's a long story, let's go in first." Dong Cheng said with a smile. In fact, Dong Cheng was very happy all the way, and the smile on his face never stopped.Seeing this, Dong Shuyu felt relieved, and then entered the mansion with Zhu Xiuyuan and the others.

After everyone entered the house, the door was immediately closed.

"It's all gone. There's nothing to do. Go and do what you have to do. It's all gone!" Zhu Xiuyuan waved to the young servants and maids gathered here.

"It's Master..." The servants bowed and retreated.

"Them?" Zhu Xiuyuan looked at the group of people.

Dong Cheng, Dong Shuzhen, Dong Shuyu and others also looked at it.

Although these people were not ragged and unkempt, compared with Zhu Xiuyuan and others, they were really just a bunch of beggars.

Therefore, this group of people all lowered their heads, holding on to their salutes or carrying baskets, etc., and did not dare to raise their heads to look at Zhu Xiuyuan and others.

"Woo... Wuwu..." Suddenly, a cry came from behind the group of people.

"Shut up, don't disturb the noble man, why are you crying..." Then, there was another old voice, suppressing anger, but there was anxiety and fear in it.

"Who is crying here? Come forward." Zhu Xiuyuan said loudly.

The group of people immediately retreated to both sides, like an ebbing tide, and the two people behind them suddenly "ebbed out".

But it turned out to be an old man and a young man.

The little brother knelt on the ground, with his upper body lying on the edge of a basket, crying deeply.

The old man stood blankly at the side, looking at Zhu Xiuyuan and others as if they were dumbfounded, with a look of shock and horror on his face.

"That's all, prepare food and wine to entertain them. As for you two..." Zhu Xiuyuan pointed at the old man and the younger brother.

The two of them shrank back in fear.

The little brother who cried bitterly held it back, his face looked distorted and a little funny.

"After dinner, bring them to see me." Zhu Xiuyuan ordered the servant in the mansion.

The boys got the order and hurriedly took these people down and arranged for them to eat...

The people were naturally grateful, but Zhu Xiuyuan and the others had already left here and went to the main house.

……

The flower hall of the main house.

A large round table was filled with wine and food, and the aroma was overflowing.

The two sons-in-law, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng, devoured the food as if they were reincarnations of evil spirits.

This court meeting lasted for a long time, and no one had lunch.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng first gave them a seat, then tea, and finally cakes and fruits, which was pretty good.

But that little thing can't fill my stomach at all.

Therefore, the first thing they do when they return home is to eat to fill the emptiness in their stomachs.

Two sisters, Dong Shuzhen and Dong Shuyu, sat beside them and watched them devouring their food.

Naturally, they had eaten lunch and were not hungry...

However, Dong Shuzhen couldn't hold back. Seeing that her husband and father were enjoying the meal, she picked up her chopsticks and ate like she didn't have lunch.

Affected by this, even Dong Shuyu, who has a poor appetite, moved a few chopsticks...

When the emptiness in his stomach eased, Zhu Xiuyuan put down his bowl and chopsticks, and Dong Cheng had almost finished eating.

Dong Shuyu asked about today's events at the right time.

Zhu Xiuyuan started from the beginning, when he was called into the palace to admire the "Yushu backyard flowers"...

"Congratulations to dad. Not only did he eradicate all corrupt and bad officials in one fell swoop, but he was also promoted to the governor of Runzhou Prefecture. This woman is really happy for dad!" Dong Shuyu said with a smile, but the smile was very light.

"Congratulations, dad!" Dong Shuzhen also beamed with joy.

"Okay, okay..." Dong Cheng smiled from ear to ear, "But after all, all of this is the credit of the virtuous son-in-law! Well, this time the virtuous son-in-law made a great contribution and actually copied more than 1000 million taels. Silver, I wonder how your majesty will reward you..."

Zhu Xiuyuan was polite and said: "Rewards are a trivial matter. The biggest gain this time should be the martial arts competition. Holding the military competition and selecting generals should be an unchangeable matter!"

"We can take advantage of this martial arts competition to solve the general's problem in one fell swoop!"

"Oh, the idea of ​​a good son-in-law... is to select from those who meet the requirements but cannot pass the preliminary examination?" Dong Cheng guessed.

"Yes, this is a rare opportunity. We have to select the best generals from among them!" Zhu Xiuyuan is particularly concerned about establishing generals.

"By the way, about the restaurant... Xiuyuan, how will you implement your plan next?" Dong Shuyu asked.

"Haha, the ambassador of Jiangning Weaving Bureau, who is also the father of Luo Ding, their entire Luo family is in doom this time... The restaurant where Luo Ding originally 'gunned' will be sold by Huangzhuang. When the time comes, I will sell it at the lowest price Take it...Although this move won't make much difference in price, it can vent the bad breath in our hearts!" Zhu Xiuyuan said.

"Hmph, I didn't beat that big bad guy until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen with his own hands, it's considered cheap for him!" Dong Shuzhen clenched her small fists.

Soon after everyone finished chatting, the servant in the mansion suddenly brought two people to see them.

It was the old man and the little brother.
