Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 1039 Young Master Hu is in Action

As soon as the topic of serious matters came up, Zhu Biao immediately returned to his usual rational state and looked at Hu Xinyue calmly.

But he found that Hu Xinyue looked calm, even with her chin slightly raised, looking at Zhu Biao arrogantly.

"Emperor, are you wondering what other secret forces and methods my mother's family has hidden?"

Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "That's not the case!"

"Whatever manpower and power the Hu Mansion has, it's actually all out in the open."

"If there are a few dozen people who are assigned to take on other tasks, this may exist."

"But if you say that there is some force in the Hu Mansion that I don't know about and that can attack Marquis Jiangyin, I don't believe it!"

"That's why I asked the Queen!"

Hu Xinyue didn't know whether to believe it or not, but she nodded in understanding and then said frankly.

"The Hu family may have the ability to do so, but there is no need for it."

"The bottom line is, this matter is aimed at my Hu Mansion's Young Madam An Qing."

"And Anqing is not only the young lady of my Hu Mansion, but also the eldest princess of my royal family."

"Then how can I, as the Empress of the Ming Dynasty and the eldest daughter of the Hu family, take it lightly?"

"Isn't the Marquis of Jiangyin engaged in the private salt business?"

"What a coincidence! Both I and Anqing have a lot of property."

"You, the Emperor, will take care of the affairs of the court. I plan to unite with Anqing and use business means to deal with this Marquis Jiangyin!"

Zhu Biao was speechless when he heard this.

He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "You two?"

"Join forces?"

"Just for the Marquis of Jiangyin?"

"Isn't it a bit of a fuss?"

It’s no wonder Zhu Biao said that.

Although he was not very proficient in business matters, he probably had some understanding of the current business territory and strength of the two companies.

It can be said that no matter whether they are Shanxi merchants, Zhejiang merchants, or Fujian merchants, a single chamber of commerce is just a small fry compared to these two.

Maybe his qualifications are a little inferior, but in terms of strength, he is definitely overwhelming.

And if we take into account the identity behind this, it is no longer a crushing victory, the two are simply not in the same world.

Now, the two families have joined forces to deal with Marquis Jiangyin?

In Zhu Biao's view, it was just an idea.

What virtue and ability does he, the Marquis of Jiangyin, have?

But Hu Xinyue didn't think so. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Emperor, what do you mean by that?"

"That person has bullied An Qing's family and is planning to kill him. Do we still need to be polite when we retaliate?"

"As a brother, you are not qualified enough. As a sister-in-law, I can't just ignore you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao quickly bowed and begged for mercy again.

This word can't be spread out.

If this gets to Anqing's ears, I will at least be scolded. If my father comes back and finds out, he might even kick me twice.

Therefore, he quickly made up for it: "Queen, that's not the case. I don't think your revenge is inappropriate."

"I feel that sending you two out is a bit too much of a courtesy to them."

"It would be better if I directly ordered the execution!"

Hu Xinyue disagreed. "Your Majesty, it is right for you to arrange for people to monitor and control us, but I think it is best for us to go first."

"First, use business means to make him lose money, and it would be best to take this opportunity to expose some other problems and connections."

"Then your Majesty will be able to follow the clues and find some other problems."

"As for me and Anqing, we did this for revenge and for demonstration!"

"Demonstration?"

"Yeah! Demonstration!"

Queen Hu Xinyue waved her hand, and the bright red round-necked brocade robe with wide sleeves instantly spread out to one side.

The heroic spirit brought by her growing age and rising status in recent years has made the eldest daughter of the Hu family, who was originally a bit childish when she first got married, as proud as a young phoenix soaring in the sky.

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Xinyue in front of him and sighed silently in his heart.

Before I knew it, my queen had grown up to be so exquisite?

But Hu Xinyue didn't care about Zhu Biao's look. Instead, she raised her head and spoke calmly.

"Anqing was poisoned. This shows that the Marquis of Jiangyin is extremely vicious and arrogant. On the other hand, it also shows that our two families are not powerful enough to deter others!"

"If the deterrent power is strong enough, how could such a thing happen?"

"So, in addition to the canonical execution, we must also use the necessary means to let the world see that without using the means used in the court, I am afraid that just myself and Anqing can make that dignified Marquis' Mansion embarrassed!"

"If anyone sets their sights on our two families in the future, they will have to think twice about the consequences."

Zhu Biao nodded without comment.

No more objections were said.

Even if he felt that he could actually keep the other party in check without doing this, but since his wife had already spoken and was going to join forces with his sister to take action, could he, as a husband and brother, still stop her?

How about love!
The two originally thought that the matter had come to an end, and the rest would just have to proceed step by step.

But no one expected that there was someone here who was ignored by everyone.

"Dou Qi, do you still recognize me, Young Master?"

Dou Qi looked at the eldest young master of the Hu family who appeared in front of him with a gloomy face and a bitter smile.

"Master, how could Dou Qi not recognize you?"

"But, why are you here?"

"You shouldn't know this place!"

It was still the courtyard where Hu Xinyue met Dou Qi before, and Dou Qi was still dressed as before, but at this moment, Dou Qi no longer had the fawning smile he had before, and instead looked a little more friendly.

After all, not everyone would favor girls over boys and regard their married niece as more important than their own son.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the young master Hu Renbin in front of them is the heir to the Hu family.

A confidant of the Hu family like Dou Qi would naturally move closer to Hu Renbin.

Hu Renbin looked Dou Qi up and down and said unhappily, "My father beat me a lot in the early years, but when did he ever say that I was not his son?"

"My father scolds and beats me because he is disappointed in me and wants me to learn well!"

"But you never hid anything about your family from me!"

"So, what's wrong with me coming here?"

Dou Qi shook his head: "I'm fine now, what do you want, Master?"

Hu Renbin smiled coldly when he heard this: "I don't have any major instructions, I just want to see if you have any relevant information."

"I wonder what information the young master wants to see?"

"Haha, then of course I want to see the information of the person who plotted and murdered my wife!" (End of this chapter)
