Even Gu Zizhong, who was sitting on the side, couldn't listen to it anymore.

However, Gu Zizhong still maintained a smile and said, "Brother Zhu, you are really in a hurry, we are naturally willing to help." It's just that if there is something really going on, you still have to make it clear. ”

Zhu Liuhong thought for a while and said, "Okay, I think I still don't want to hide it from you." I still have a few hundred catties of private salt there......"

Hearing the words "private salt", Zhu Changxi and Gu Zizhong trembled.

It's not that they don't have this lesson.

Selling illicit salt is a violation of the Ming law, and if there are more, there will be the possibility of killing.

Why is there so much in his house?

Zhu Changxi said: "The surname is Zhu, don't be joking. ”

Zhu Liuhong sneered and said, "Lord Shizi, I'm not joking. Lord Ling Zun took my money and my money, but he didn't help me, who do you say we are justified?"

No way?

Zhu Changxi felt a little weaker in his heart, and said, "You are talking nonsense, how can my father take your money?"

As he spoke, he got up and made a gesture to drive Zhu Liuhong away.

Zhu Liuhong was not in a hurry, nor was he afraid of Zhu Changxi, so he took out the IOU from his pocket and showed it to Zhu Changxi.

Gu Zi got up again and snatched the IOU from Zhu Liuhong's hand, without the slightest weakness just now.

The husband and wife put the IOU in front of them, and the two of them looked at it for a long time.

And so it was.

This payment is also stamped with the seal of the Zhu Mansion.

This is indeed the case.

But Zhu Changxi couldn't understand, how could his father borrow money from Zhu Liuhong?

Zhu Liuhong showed a wealthy appearance, put his hands behind his back, walked around in front of Zhu Changxi twice, and said softly: "Zhu Shizi, if I hadn't lent you money, I'm afraid that your marriage would not have been completed." ”

Gu Zi hurriedly said, "You are talking nonsense." ”

Zhu Liuhong stared at her.

She had no confidence, and her originally sharp gaze had become much more divergent at this time.

Zhu Liuhong said: "Although my family is in decline, there is still a lot of family wealth. My father gave me all the money before he died, and wanted me to use it for business, so I started a small business. Lord Shizi, according to the bloodline, the two of us are still brothers, so you should help me. ”

Zhu Changxi feels that things are not so simple.

He sneered: "You showed me the IOU, just want me to help you pass on a word?"

Zhu Liuhong said: "Of course it's not so simple, you are smart." We here in Jinling, since the last time Lord Lin was exposed for selling illicit salt, there has been less such business. But my situation here is different, you have to know that I have a lot of goods in my hands, I want to wash my hands or not, and I have to clean up this batch later, right?"

After talking for a long time, people just wanted to use the Zhu family's family as a backer and let the Zhu family help him sell illegal salt.

The Zhu family was also involved.

Anyway, if the court knows about it in the future, the Zhu family has an unshirkable responsibility.

Zhu Changxi directly tore up the IOU: "You can ask whoever you like to ask for help, anyway, I don't care." ”

Zhu Liuhong pointed at him: "You ......"

Seeing the shredded paper torn off by Zhu Changxi, Zhu Liuhong became even more angry: "Anyway, I still have one, I'm not afraid that your Zhu family won't admit it." ”

Zhu Changxi originally turned around, but at this time, he was angry, turned back again, and pointed at Zhu Liuhong's nose: "My Zhu family is sincere, and if I owe you a copper plate, I will return it to you." Now it says that my family owes you ten thousand taels of silver, and I will pay it back to you myself. ”

Gu Zizhong could see that Zhu Changxi was irrational.

She tugged at his sleeve.

He didn't care very much: "The surname is Zhu, you and I have nothing to do with it, and I don't want to have anything to do with you." If you want to sell illicit salt, when the court cuts off your head, our Zhu family will not collect your body for you. ”

He was anxious.

Gu Zizhong was also apologetic in his heart, the Gu family and Zhu Wangye put pressure on Brother Zishan for the matter of the Northern Expedition, otherwise Brother Zishan would not be like this.

She hurriedly said, "Let's talk to my father about borrowing money." Brother Zishan and I can't be the master. ”

She wanted to shirk it.

Zhu Liuhong didn't eat this: "County Lord, I have come here today, and I want the prince to give me a word, either to help me pass the word to Dailan, or to help me dispose of these private salts." ”

She picked up a lot of scraps of paper and threw them on Zhu Liuhong's face: "I owe you money and I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back, who are you threatening?"

Zhu Liuhong frowned: "Ten days later, it will be the deadline for borrowing money, and at that time, there will be a total of 20,000 taels of silver with interest, you are ready, I will take the money." ”

What the?

Zhu Changxi grabbed his shoulder and didn't let him go.

Zhu Liuhong was pinched and shouted in pain.

Gu Zizhong walked in front of Zhu Liuhong and blocked his way: "Isn't it 10,000 taels?

This Zhu Liuhong is really not good.

Zhu Changxi pinched him: "What do you still say, you and I are originally from the surname Zhu, but why are you blackmailing the Zhu family like this?"

Twenty thousand taels of silver, what about playing? Who can take it out casually?

How much money did Prince Zhu have in the imperial court for a year?

The profit collected by this Zhu Liuhong is really frighteningly high.

Directly doubled.

Gu Zi rethought of the usurious borrowing she had encountered in her previous life.

Her heart pounded.

Once the money is lent out, it will be like the water of the Yellow River flooding.

Zhu Liuhong said: "The IOU is clearly written in black and white, you can read it for yourself." ”

How dare this person borrow black money from the prince?

Zhu Changxi finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he dragged him directly and waved his fist at the door.

Zhu Liuhong suddenly felt his nose shrink, and then there were five flavors, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, and all of them surged into his mind.

When he sat on the ground, Zhu Liuhong's ears were buzzing.

Zhu Changxi said: "I kill Tartar soldiers like slaughtering ants, and you and I don't care about it." You dare to hack my Zhu family......"

Gu Zizhong hurriedly grabbed his arm to prevent him from getting angry any longer.

Zhu Liuhong was scared, covered his nose and quickly escaped.

Zhu Changxi panted for a long time before he came to his senses.

Gu Zizhong served him tea and rubbed his shoulders again, ran his palm down his chest, and patted him lightly on the back.

Zhu Changxi also pointed to the door: "This guy is too deceitful." ”

Gu Zizhong was about to cry.

How did you suddenly meet such a person?

But she was muttering, how could her father-in-law, a prominent figure in the court, borrow 10,000 taels from someone like Zhu Liuhong?

Isn't this full of food?

Zhu Changxi didn't believe it even more: "Maybe my father was plotted by them? What did my father do with so much money?"

The Zhu family is not short of this money, right?
