A few people who were so frightened that they knelt down just now coughed a few times and got up embarrassedly, and they really had to check it, after all, this rule is also in everyone's house, unless a friend of comparable status is a friend of the world, there will definitely be a body search.

It's just that they have been treated like this for a long time, and they are decent people in Jiangnan, and they don't need to be like this anywhere, but when they get to the prince's door, they don't have a four- or five-grade official position, and every qualification must be decent, and they will definitely not be able to enter without inspection.

Liu Jin laughed, then asked people to check the rest of the people, and walked in front of the three family patriarchs in person and said: "Governor Chen's mansion is naturally useless, and the remaining two will be checked by us roughly, there is such a rule in the palace, and I hope Haihan." ”

Governor Chen was naturally happy to have a decent presence in front of people, and arched his hand towards the house: "It is our fault that so many people rashly visit, and it is a great kindness for His Highness to allow me to wait to meet him, so please be polite to my father-in-law." ”

After Chen Zhifu finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk in front of Liu Jin and opened his hands, Liu Jin was polite on his lips, but he was not polite at all in his hands, and carefully checked it before saying: "Chen Zhifu is an official of the imperial court, why should he be like this." ”

The head of the Zhang family watched with a smile, and Li Qiantang pulled the corners of his mouth, this is why he doesn't look down on the Chen family, this family is used to doing this kind of thing.

After the inspection, you can naturally go in, inside Zhu Biao is sitting on the bookcase reading a book, Xu Yungong Changmao is waiting on the side, these people are panicked when they come in, don't say His Royal Highness the Prince, even if these two young masters come to Jiangnan alone, they also have to serve comfortably.

This is the eldest son of King Kaiping and King Zhongshan, and it is very easy for this level of nobility to have accidents, but just look at the appearance of these two people standing next to the prince, as long as they don't make mistakes in the future, at least their family's century-old wealth is stable.

After everyone stood together, they were about to bow and salute again, only to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put down the book in his hand, glanced at them roughly, and only bowed their heads in fright.

Zhu Biao saw that they were about to kneel down again, so he said softly: "I have all bowed outside, now I am exempt, you are all representatives of the century-old Wang clan in Jiangnan, and it is really gratifying for the palace to come to see you." ”

Governor Chen took the lead and said: "We are the holy people, and now that the prince is here, where is there any reason not to come to visit, and your brothers have also asked many times to come and see Your Highness." ”

Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, his eyes moved to Li Qiantang, this person's temperament was out of place again, and he could guess his identity by thinking about it, Li Qiantang also felt the prince's gaze staring at him, and the rest of the people were silent.

Li Qiantang exhaled, in the end, the characters who were killed all the way out, it was boring to go to the tiger's den in Longtan, and it was boring to be instigated, so he took a half step forward and hugged his fists and said: "Li Qiantang of the Li family of the grass people meets the prince." ”

Zhu Biao ignored it and continued to look at him with interest, and he sweated before he spoke: "I have admired the name for a long time, this palace has heard about the deeds of the Li family master in the coast, and now I see that it is really a hero, and the person who sells illicit salt dares to throw himself into the net, I don't know what to rely on." ”

Li Qiantang smiled bitterly: "The grass people have nothing to rely on, they wanted to escape outside just now, but they knew that they couldn't escape for a lifetime, so it was better to ask His Highness to drop out, no matter what, the grass people should be at ease as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Biao admired this person quite a lot when he heard this, and he didn't go around in circles and said: "Since you entered Hangzhou the night before yesterday, you can't get out, and I haven't seen you in this palace today, so I can only see your head tomorrow." ”

Li Qiantang swallowed and foamed, he entered the city through a tunnel outside the city, and even the other two people didn't know when he came, after all, he had to be cautious in what he did, and it was not a business after all.

Zhu Biao was not talking to Li Qiantang, he turned his eyes to look at the head of the Zhang family, and casually said a few polite words, and the people behind him were not qualified to be polite to Zhu Biao, they all stood aside obediently, looking at the ground with their eyes, they came empty-handed and had no confidence, and they were afraid of sending something indecently, and they lost their lives in vain, it was too difficult.

Zhu Biao casually picked up the book he had just put down and looked at it, the atmosphere fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone didn't know what to say, and Governor Chen didn't speak, and the clever ones probably guessed it, and they all quieted down honestly.

It's just that there is still a feeling of being out of breath, they are not unfamiliar with this kind of road, and they have basically used it personally, and there are thousands of people who live on them under their subordinates, and there are thousands of people who live on them.

It's just clear that it's clear, but I'm still afraid, if this thing is not good, it won't be passed down since ancient times, in short, it's a sentence, the life is in the hands of others, then you can't help but be afraid.

Li Qiantang couldn't stand it, no matter how the rest of the people were, they just secretly supported and helped the Li family sell illicit salt, at least they all had serious business on the surface, and there were also in-laws between various clans, only he was the Li family, who started by selling illicit salt, and it has only been 30 years so far.

It's not that he doesn't want to transform, but the rest of the family can't tolerate him, and before he looks for the next one, the Li family can't get out, and they have become one of the three big families with this huge profit, and they all respect it on the surface, but in private, everyone who looks up to his family wants to marry the Chen family but can't succeed.

Li Qiantang knelt on the ground, and the rest of the people also knelt down when they saw it, and the Chen Governor and the head of the Zhang family sighed, but it didn't matter, they all knelt sooner or later, but no one wanted to be the first.

Zhu Biao turned a page of the book and said: "Jiangnan is a water town in the end, and the waterways are vertical and horizontal, but the river has not been sorted out for a long time since the previous dynasty, and it is inconvenient for the people to come and go. ”

Li Qiantang opened his mouth and said: "Your Royal Highness is gracious and virtuous, the Li family has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, why should he contribute to his hometown, and he is willing to donate all his family wealth to dredge the river." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the family looked at Li Qiantang's back fiercely, his mother, it is enough to give out 18,000 taels of silver, you give all your family wealth, then we can still say that it will be a few thousand taels? ”

Governor Chen breathed a sigh of relief, this is why he didn't come forward first, all the family wealth was gone, how could His Highness not leave him a little, and it was not to raid the family and exterminate the clan, but he wanted to integrate the power of the Jiangnan clan to help him go further above the court, how could he offend so many people.

The Zhang family is the ancestor of the family, no matter what will never do anything, it is precisely because of this that most of the Jiangnan family is married to the Zhang family, in the final analysis, the Zhang family is the real leader of the Jiangnan family.

Governor Chen glanced at the head of the Zhang family, and then stepped forward and said: "The minister is the prefect of Hangzhou, and there are also two sections of waterways blocked in the territory. ”
