Summary of the previous chapter: After leaving Zhang's house, Ma Xiaoquan did not go back to Ma's house directly, but first went to the palace to greet Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse

++++++++++++++++++ "Hehe, Brother Huang, Ma Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, come, eat together, eat together~" Zhu Youxiao smiled and gave way, signaling Zhu Youzhen and Ma Xiaoquan to take chopsticks and pick up vegetables.

Zhu Youzhen picked up the chopsticks very naturally, said respectfully, "Thank you, brother Huang", and then ate very elegantly, while Ma Xiaoquan looked at Zhu Youzhen a little awkwardly and didn't dare to move the chopsticks.

"Huh? What's the matter, Ma Aiqing, isn't this food delicious? ”

Ma Xiaoquan hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, stood up and said respectfully: "No, no, no, the emperor, it's very delicious, it's very delicious, it's just that Weichen feels that it's really an honor, and his hands are so shaky that he can't hold the chopsticks." ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "It's okay, just eat, there are a lot of meals prepared today, and I can't finish it alone, um~ Brother Huang, don't be polite, eat it in a big gulp!" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and hummed softly.

During the meal, Zhu Youxiao put down his chopsticks and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Ma Aiqing, I heard the emperor's brother say, there is a family in Beijing that is not very good recently, is that so?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Youzhen, and saw that Zhu Youzhen nodded lightly, Ma Xiaoquan put down his chopsticks and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to say anything about this."

"Huh?" Zhu Youxiao's face sank, and he said unhappily, "What else is there to say in front of me, how did you become a deacon of Jinyiwei?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be frightened, puffed "knelt" in front of Zhu Youxiao, and complained: "Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen doesn't want to say it, there are too many stories in it, Weichen is afraid to say it, Your Majesty, you are angry~"

"Hmph, since you know, tell me, if you don't say it, I'll be even more angry!"

Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and looked at Zhu Youzhen beside Zhu Youxiao, and saw that the other party nodded slightly at him, Ma Xiaoquan said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing as what the prince said, it is because of this matter that Weichen specially sent someone to investigate in detail, Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is also very simple to say, that is, in our Sijiu City, someone is wantonly collecting money under your banner, oh, this is not the end, after collecting money, do not hand over the money to the treasury." ”

"What?" Zhu Youxiao heard the fire, although he has been addicted to carpentry work, but many things are well known, in his opinion, as long as it does not hurt his muscles and bones, it is not a matter of war, he doesn't care too much, but privately in his name to collect money, and after collecting money, he still doesn't pay a penny? Is there any royal law left, does he put his entire emperor in his eyes?

"Ma Xiaoquan, you say, which family is it? Fuck ~~"

Ma Xiaoquan said resignedly: "Your Majesty, it is a family surnamed Zhang"

"The family surnamed Zhang?" Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes.

Zhu Youzhen bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Brother Huang, the younger brother of the family surnamed Zhang has also heard a little, by the way, their family has recently been selling a kind of water called 'Wild Mountain Water', which tastes good." ”

"'Wild landscapes'? What's that? ”

Zhu Youjian said: "That is, the water we drink, but it is much better than the water we drink." ”

"Oh? Okay, I'm going to taste it now, what kind of water is it? ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said with a smile: "The younger brother has already prepared it for the imperial brother~"

"Well, then bring it up, I'll drink~"

"Wild Landscape" was presented, and Zhu Youzhen poured a cup for Zhu Youxiao and respectfully presented it in front of his brother.

Zhu Youzhen picked up the water cup, first sniffed it in front of his nose, and then looked at the color of the water, then slowly put the water cup to his mouth and took a small sip gently.

"Brother Huang, how does it taste?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Well, this water tastes very soft~" Zhu Youxiao nodded and drank all the water in the cup.

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Yes, the younger brother didn't believe that this water could be so delicious at first, since he drank it, the younger brother liked this kind of water, but the price of this water is very expensive." ”

"Huh? How much can this water sell for, a jar is only a lot of money, right? ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and stretched out two fingers: "Two taels of silver in a jar." ”

"What, two taels of silver a jar?"

"Yes, Brother Huang, this Ma Xiaoquan can testify~"

Ma Xiaoquan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this water is delicious, and it is indeed two taels of silver a jar, but the amount of this jar is okay." ”

"Well~ It's delicious, it's delicious, two taels of silver and a can, this is too exaggerated~ By the inspection, this water is made by the family surnamed Zhang?"

"Yes~ Actually, the price of this water could have been reduced to the usual money, but the Zhang family controlled the water source of my Beijing City, so it was"

"What? Is the city of Beijing a source of water? was actually controlled by the Zhang family? How dare they be? Zhu Youxiao said angrily.

"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry~" Ma Xiaoquan hurriedly said respectfully, "Weichen also did an investigation, and originally wanted to continue to go deeper, but encountered resistance, the emperor, and Jinyiwei all encountered resistance. ”

Where can Zhu Youxiao withstand the joint flickering of Ma Xiaoquan and Zhu Youzhen, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will go out~"

"Brother Huang~" Zhu Youzhen said, "Brother Huang, I am afraid that your departure will cause some ministers in the court to harass, it is better for the imperial brother to give the younger brother a power, and the younger brother will help the imperial brother share the burden, and when the time comes, the younger brother will report the situation to the imperial brother as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said: "It's okay, if I come forward in this matter, those old guys will indeed be prisoners, brother, just work hard for you, uh~~ Jinyiwei's Ma Xiaoquan will lend you a good use~"

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face pretended to be very deep: "Thank you Brother Huang, Brother Huang will definitely not dishonor Brother Huang's order and investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand: "Okay, you two should go home, I want to do carpentry work." ”

Ma Xiaoquan and Zhu Youzhen glanced at each other, and the two said in unison: "Weichen (younger brother) retires." ”

Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhu Youzhen patted Ma Xiaoquan's shoulder and praised: "Ma Xiaoquan, you are very good~"

Ma Xiaoquan bowed his body and whispered: "This is also the cultivation of the prince." ”

"Well, okay, the matter of 'wild landscape', you go and check it out, and I'll do you a favor."

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and corrected: "Lord Wang, in fact, Weichen is also helping you, you think, as long as we find a way to snatch all the business of the Zhang family, won't the treasury be overflowing a lot when the prince achieves it one day?"
