Chapter 253: Pretending to force me to obey you only
There was a long queue at the gate of Yongding.
After Zhu Wuneng seized the palace, he quickly controlled the guards of the capital with lightning speed, and imposed martial law in the capital. Zhu Runze has been in charge of the capital for 30 years, and even if Zhu Wu can regain the treasure, there are still many people who are secretly loyal to him without confirming the news of Zhu Runze's death.
The capital has been in chaos in the past few days, and the Jinyi Wei and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses have started a ruthless purge against Zhu Runze's private forces, especially the imperial relatives in the capital, who were slaughtered by Zhu Wuneng, and some of the soldiers of the Jinyi Wei took the opportunity to blackmail the local rich households, and if they did not obey, they would put on the hat of a rebel and a thief and retaliate.
In order to ensure the supply of grain and vegetables in the capital during the martial law period, the nine gates of the capital only opened the Xizhi Gate of Yongding Gate. In the past few days, the prices of vegetables and grain have soared, and despite the turmoil in the capital, there will still be business travelers who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a windfall.
Zhang Youqian and I mingled in the business trip, and slowly moved forward with the procession. A lieutenant imposed heavy taxes on the past merchants, and if he wanted to send daily necessities and vegetables to the capital, he had to pay five taels of silver per person.
The farmer in front of him pulls a cart of cabbage and turnips, which are also the most common vegetables in winter. Radish and cabbage are relatively easy to preserve, after the autumn harvest, stored in the cellar, if properly preserved, can be stored for three or four months, and in the winter pull out for sale, the price will naturally rise.
Of course, not all ordinary people in the capital can afford to eat vegetables. Most of the people pickle pickles in autumn and rely on an urn of pickles to survive the winter. The captain stopped the farmer and asked, "What's in the car?"
The farmer said, back to the official, the car was loaded with some seasonal vegetables. As he spoke, he took out two radishes and a cabbage, handed them over, and said a little meaning, not a respect! The captain scolded, you are all rabbits as brothers, fooling people with this thing, if you want to get in, five taels of silver!
The farmer's face turned red, and he said Where is such a reason, my cart of vegetables will be sold for a total of two taels of silver, what is the difference between this extortion?
The captain is a little unhappy, this silver is a rule set by the Five Cities Terracotta Division, if you really have an opinion, I will take you to talk to our adults?
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and this old farmer naturally understands this truth, and hurriedly waved his hand, saying that if you return the car to me, I will not sell it.
The lieutenant sneered, "Don't sell vegetables, then what do you want to do in there? Could it be that you want to do something rebellious? Come on, catch a thief, and bring him back to the prison for trial! The old peasant immediately panicked and said that the official spares his life, I will pay this silver, I will pay it!
The lieutenant said that this is right, the person who knows the times is Lin Junjie, take the silver, fifteen taels!
The old farmer argued, it was clearly five taels of silver just now!
The captain smiled, old man, I forgot to tell you that we collect taxes according to the legs, two or five per leg, counting your donkey, isn't this exactly fifteen taels? Where did the old peasant meet such an unreasonable person, and his stubborn temper came up, saying that I would not sell it. As soon as you pull the donkey, you have to turn around.
Want to run?
As he spoke, the captain kicked away, and the old peasant swooped down on us. Seeing this, Zhang Youqian sent out a true qi and gently took the old farmer down, the captain wanted to stand up, and when he saw someone coming out, he pulled out his sword and came over, the court was arresting the party, and no one else was dodging.
Zhang Youqian didn't move.
Seeing this, the captain is going to rebel against you. Saying that, a knife slashed at Zhang Youqian, Zhang Youqian stretched out two fingers and clamped the big knife, and the captain used his strength to eat, but the long knife did not move at all. The lieutenant's face was flushed, he sank down and dragged hard, talking about you!
Zhang Youqian said yes!
The lieutenant stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. The snow had melted a few days ago, and the ground was covered with mud. The captain said, there are people who rebel, brothers, catch them!
Zhang Youqian shouted, wait. I paid this old man's money for him. As soon as the lieutenant heard that there was money, he ordered everyone to stop, stood up and patted the mud, and asked really? Zhang Youqian said no, not only did I pay him, but I also paid the money of our two brothers. However, this poor master said that the fee is charged by the leg, I have a box of things here, you can help me calculate, how much should I pay to enter the city?
With that, Zhang Youqian took out a box from his arms and handed it over. The captain took it and opened it to see that it was more than a dozen centipedes, oh my mother, I was so frightened that I missed it, fell to the ground, and the centipedes were scurrying around.
I smiled and asked where did you get these things? Zhang Youqian smiled, a little fetish. The lieutenant said that you actually intimidated the officials of the imperial court, and the crime was increased, so he came up and pulled Zhang Youqian's sleeve, Zhang Youqian waved his hand, and with a bang, the man flew backwards and landed on the donkey cart, and the cabbage gang and radish tassels got all over.
The lieutenant shouted, come on, arrest them.
At this time, there was a humane, what was going on to make such a big commotion? As he spoke, a Liupinbian general walked out of the inner door. The lieutenant said, "My lord, these two guys are traitors!" The general looked at us and asked tentatively, are the two of you the head catchers of the six doors?
I said exactly, are you?
The partial general laughed, it turned out to be General Lu's person, it was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't know the family. The lieutenant was still arguing, but the general glared at him before he was silent.
Partial general road, in the lower Huangquan, responsible for the defense of Yongding Gate. Now that General Lu has been promoted to the commander of the forbidden army, I will ask the two brothers to help me a lot in the future! I echoed, easy to say, easy to say.
It turned out that after Zhu Wuneng came to power, Lu Zhongyuan made meritorious contributions and had been promoted to the commander of the forbidden army, commanding the defense of Sijiu City. The original people of the six doors followed the rising tide, this Huangquan is forty or fifty years old, and he has worked in the Liupinbian general for more than ten years, and he has not been promoted, this time he wants to please us, and he wants to take the opportunity to catch Lu Zhongyuan's line. Zhang Youqian and I had a few words with him, and then said goodbye and left, and before leaving, Huang Quan also took a letter of silver, and Zhang Youqian accepted it without thinking about it.
Zhang Youqian didn't care, since there are fools who give money, won't you become fools if you don't accept it? I don't fancy this money, I just don't want to be a fool.
Now the streets of the capital are empty, and from time to time a number of brocade guards come up to interrogate, and after revealing their identities, these people did not deliberately embarrass us. I said that I didn't expect that our Lord Lu was actually the person of the former emperor, what a surprise.
Zhang Youqian said that he is alive, but he seeks fame and fortune, and some people are willing to abandon their wives for money, so what is so surprising about this? He said this with a trace of resentment, I guessed that it was vaguely related to Zhang Million, so he changed the topic and asked, which of these two emperors do you like?
Zhang Youqian smiled, who is the emperor and cares about my? I only care about the people and things I care about.
I've been with Zhang Youqian for so long, I haven't been able to see through him, this guy is not a good rich boy, but he ran to the six doors to catch fast, I really don't understand what these rich people think, so I asked, then why do you want to catch fast?
Zhang Youqian thought for a moment, and said that in fact, I was fighting with my family at the beginning, and I swore in front of my mother's grave that I would become a big catcher and bring Zhang Million to justice, but at this time, I found that I couldn't do it, so as long as I ran to Jiangnan to hide, after all, it was my father. Later, after getting to know you, Jiang Nan and other brothers, I felt that my world was so narrow......
I laughed, really?
Zhang Youqian sighed, in fact, if I don't catch fast, I have to go home to inherit the Zhang family's million-dollar property, I like to spend money, but it doesn't mean that I like to make money.
I was speechless for a moment, this sentence is so lightly said, without the slightest fireworks, on pretending to force me to only obey you.
At this time, a boy shouted, outside, outside, the fake prince killed his father and seized power, the cycle of cause and effect was retributed, the secret history of the palace, the authorization of the inner court, the gossip weekly, exclusive distribution, want to buy as soon as possible!
I flipped through the side cursoryly, and was shocked that this emperor's living note finally broke out.
This weekly has two core contents, one is to disclose the fact that Zhu Runze imprisoned Zhu Wuneng and forced Zhu Wuneng to abdicate, and the other is the evidence that Zhu Runze has been trying to destroy all these years, that is, the evidence that records Zhu Runze's fake identity as a prince.
Some of these two articles quote the content of the emperor's living notes, and some also quote some excerpts from the copy that Li Muge lost that year. Those who can come up with this evidence and agree to publish it, I'm afraid that no one in the palace has the guts.
Zhu Wuneng did not officially announce it to the world, but disclosed it through this kind of unpopular publication.
But if you think about it carefully, you can also find its cleverness. If it is published in the official official newspaper, I am afraid that it will inevitably affect the face of the imperial court, and this kind of barnyard official history will arouse discussion among the people in the capital, so as to achieve the purpose of publicizing its orthodox status, and second, it will release these news and refuse to admit it positively, taking into account the face of the royal family.
After reading it, Zhang Youqian said that this issue of Gossip Weekly is really well written, and he can publish a palace fight. I said that you bought the gossip weekly anyway, try it, maybe it will become popular. Zhang Youqian didn't have a good temperament, don't you say that I forgot about this stubble.
The palace was heavily guarded, and it seemed calm, and I was relieved. Xu Ruonan is a smart person, so he shouldn't go to the palace and do these stupid things.
Zhang Youqian and I went around the capital. After entering the Tongxiang Realm, the masters of the rivers and lakes can have a kind of induction with each other, unless the other party deliberately hides, almost all of them can sense the existence of the other party. As soon as Feng Wanli entered Jinling, Xu Kaishan sensed it, but no matter what, we didn't sense Xu Ruonan's breath.
I was a little frustrated, but Zhang Youqian said that this is a good thing, if your little lover really makes a fool of breaking into the palace, do you think there will be other ends? I think I'm right, but since the last time I saw her, the two of them broke up unhappily, and I didn't even have a chance to explain, which made me a little discouraged.
Zhang Youqian said okay, just think about finding someone, and fill your stomach first.
We changed places several times in a row and found that they were all closed. It's right to think about it, now that the army is in chaos, the Jinyi guards are arresting people everywhere, at this juncture, saving lives is far more important than making money.
When he was worried, someone shouted, "If you don't go home for a few days, what are you doing in the capital?" The person who came was Zhang Million, who was still dressed as a rich man, followed by several bodyguards, and was actually a master of the Xuanxuan Realm.
Father?
Zhang Million snorted coldly, do you still know how to call your father?
How did you find us?
Zhang Million said that you are too underestimated of your son, as soon as you two enter the city, I received the news, hurry up and go home for me.
Zhang Youqian said, we still have important things to do.
Zhang Million said angrily, don't think that you know two martial arts and think that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, tell you, you Lao Tzu I have seen more masters in the rivers and lakes, and in the end there are few good ends, go back with me, everything is negotiable.
Zhang Youqian shook his head, I really have something.
Zhang Million had no choice but to say, then he had to eat something and be busy, right?
