Chapter 442: Something that shackles Chu Yaocen
"Go to the Chu family." Yin Lihui said a word, explained that Bai Qingqing ate by himself, and left the palace.
Bai Qingqing quickly twisted his brows, it seems that this time, Chu Yaocen really can't escape death.
Yin Lihui arrived at the Chu family, and broke in directly without waiting for the next person to go in to report. This was not the first time he had come to the Chu family, but every time he came, he had to feel a little uneasy about the scenery in this mansion.
It was too bustling here, and there were many things he hadn't seen in his life, and while he wasn't uncommon with them, he felt that what he couldn't have with his identity shouldn't have anyone else.
Yin Lihui's eyes swept around the courtyard, and he saw new and strange things, which seemed to be many different things than the last time he came to Chu's house. Although he hadn't seen it, he knew that these things were worth a lot.
Chu Chengguan hurriedly came out to greet him, walked under a pavilion where he was, and said, "Second Prince, I didn't know that you came here today, and you missed the distance, and I hope to forgive your sins." ”
Yin Lihui had only driven Yin Sheng away in the name of Qingjun's side, and he had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, so it was understandable for Chu Chengguan to call him the prince, but Yin Lihui was still uncomfortable in his heart.
His eyes swept over Chu Chengguan, and the old fox lowered his head with a respectful look, as if if he didn't open his mouth and told him not to be polite, he would always maintain this posture of bending over and bending his knees.
Chu Chengguan laughed, and said politely: "Master Chu doesn't have to be polite, sit down, I have something to talk to you about today." ”
Chu Chengguan hurriedly asked him to sit down first, and only after he sat down did he sit down.
"I don't know the prince, what do you have to order?" Chu Chengguan took the initiative to ask.
Yin Lihui's eyes swept around the courtyard, and he didn't answer Chu Chengguan directly, but said: "The things in your house are getting more and more novel, I haven't seen any of these, where did you get them?" ”
Chu Chengguan rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said: "These are all brought back by the dog when he was doing business overseas, and he likes to collect these novelty things, which are not valuable." If the prince likes it, he can send it all to the prince's mansion. ”
"That's it, my palace is not as big as your Chu Mansion, so many things are piled up there, I have no place to live." Yin Lihui said meaningfully.
When Chu Chengguan heard this, he hurriedly said: "The previous palace was indeed wronged by the prince, if the prince needs it, our Chu family can pay for a new mansion for the prince." ”
Yin Lihui hooked the corners of his mouth and asked, "Build a house for me?" How can I be able to bother Master Chu to build a house for me? ”
"Although I don't know anything about officialdom, I also know that the prince is loyal, has meritorious service in protecting the country, and it is an honor to be able to do things for the prince." Chu Chengguan said such a thing with a smile on his face, and his face seemed to be full of sincerity.
Yin Lihui secretly scolded the old fox, then lowered his voice again, and then asked: "If I want to ascend the throne and become emperor, do you support it?" ”
Chu Chengguan immediately looked at Yin Lihui with wide eyes, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Lord Wang, I am just a businessman, and I really don't know anything about the affairs of the court. So the prince asked this question, and he really didn't know how to answer. But if the prince has any needs, he will definitely do what he can do. ”
"Oh? Then what do you mean is that I have asked you to do it, and if Yin Sheng asks for you, you must also do it? Yin Lihui pressed forward step by step and asked him so.
"Please also ask the prince not to be embarrassed, he has no power and no power, and it will not be of much use to the prince, and he will not be an enemy of the prince, the prince can rest assured. If the prince is really not at ease, he will leave the capital with his family immediately and will never come again. Chu Chengguan said nervously.
"Leaving the Imperial City?" Yin Lihui snorted coldly, "Do you want to leave the imperial city and go to the northern Xinjiang to join Yin Sheng?" ”
Chu Chengguan shook his head again and again: "Zai Xia definitely doesn't have such a mind, Zai Xia really doesn't know anything about the affairs of the court, and he really doesn't want to have anything to do with it......"
Yin Lihui looked at him for a while, but Chu Chengguan kept his head down, not daring to look up at him at all.
Yin Lihui suddenly laughed and said, "You get up first and sit down." ”
Chu Chengguan answered, got up from the ground, and sat on the chair.
"I ascend the throne and become emperor, I need a lot of money, if you can be my solid backing and give me money all the time, then when I succeed in becoming emperor, I will definitely not lose your benefits. When the time comes, you will be the celebrity in front of me, and you will be a great hero, and I can put the iron smelting industry in your hands. Yin Lihui said.
Chu Chengguan hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at Yin Lihui, the iron smelting industry is really an industry that makes sure to make money without losing money, but it has always been firmly held in the hands of the Yin royal family, and it does not give others a chance to interfere at all. Now that Yin Lihui has opened such conditions, I have to say that it is very tempting.
However, if he is really sure that he wants to support Yin Lihui, it is to be an enemy of Yin Sheng. But in his heart, he actually still recognizes Yin Sheng, the emperor. First of all, Yin Sheng is indeed the true son of heaven, and secondly, Yin Sheng is also the adopted son of Concubine Chu at the beginning, and he can still have something to do with him, and he can also get a royal relative because of this.
And no matter what, Yin Sheng is a child, treat him well, he will always know how to reciprocate. Is this Yin Lihui...... Even if Chu Chengguan is not involved in officialdom, he has heard of what he has done, not to mention, he also killed Yao Cen, fortunately, Yao Cen Fu has a big life.
All things considered, if he had to be involved in officialdom, and if he had to choose one of these two people, he felt that Yin Sheng would be more useful to him.
Chu Chengguan looked embarrassed and said: "Lord Wang, it's not that I don't support you to be the emperor, it's just that I really don't want to get involved in officialdom, it involves power arts, it's too complicated here, I'm old, my eyes, ears, mouth, nose and mind are not sound, I'm afraid of dragging down the prince." ”
Yin Lihui sighed and said, "Hey, okay, since you don't want to support me, then forget it." But you just said that no matter what I ask, you will agree to me, I don't know if it's still a word? ”
Chu Chengguan hurriedly said: "As long as you can do it in the next place, you will definitely satisfy the prince." ”
"Then give me 80 million taels of gold first, and use it to recruit troops and horses." Yin Lihui said.
"Eight...... Eighty million taels? Chu Chengguan was taken aback and said, "Lord, this is too much, our Chu family is bankrupt, and we can't afford so much." ”
"Can't afford it?" Yin Lihui snorted coldly, his eyes swept around the courtyard again, and said, "How much is your Chu family mansion worth?" ”
"Lord Wang, this is really worthless!" Chu Chengguan hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, look at that Pixiu, it is actually made of stones, and it is not worth anything at all. The things over there are all made of branches of a kind of tree, and they are not valuable, if the prince likes it, he can ask for it, and he will send it to the prince's mansion later. ”
"Oh? Is it? Yin Lihui seemed to have lost his patience, stood up, walked to a stone, stared at the stone and looked at it, and suddenly said: "Bold Chu Chengguan, you actually dare to place the auspicious dragon stone carving at home, do you want to seek power and usurp the throne?" ”
Chu Chengguan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Lord Wang, that's not a dragon, that's a lion......"
"I said it's a dragon, it's a dragon." Yin Lihui said coldly, and said to the guards behind him: "Come on, arrest this rebellious person and bring him back." ”
The person behind him answered, and went over to arrest Chu Chengguan and forcibly took him away.
The subordinates of the Chu family did not dare to step forward, for fear that they would hurt Chu Chengguan in anger. When the official family saw it, they hurriedly and secretly ordered the two subordinates, telling them to hurry up and inform Chu Linyuan and Yingkong to come.
Chu Linyuan went out to do business a few days ago, and as soon as he returned to the capital, he heard that his father had been taken away, so he hurriedly asked people to send the salute back to the Chu family, and he went to the palace to ask for someone.
But the people in the palace didn't let him in, didn't even give him any reply, and didn't even say what to do.
Just when Chu Linyuan was in a hurry, a maid suddenly came out of the palace, stepped forward and pushed Chu Linyuan without saying anything, and scolded: "Don't shout here, disturb my wife's interest in appreciating flowers." ”
Chu Linyuan touched the place where she was pushed just now, was stunned for a while, and quickly nodded: "I'm sorry, then I'll leave first today and come back another day." ”
After speaking, Chu Linyuan hurriedly left here.
Back at the Chu family, Ying Konglai also came back and asked, "Young Master, how is the master?" ”
Chu Linyuan shook his head and said, "Yin Lihui didn't want to see me at all, and he didn't tell me what I had to do to release my father, but just now, a maid from their house came out and secretly stuffed me with a note." ”
"What note?" Shadow Sky asked hurriedly.
Chu Linyuan opened the note, and the note read: Chu Yaocen is not dead yet, let him come back to save Chu Chengguan.
Ying Konglai also leaned over to take a look, and when he saw that Chu Yaocen was not dead, he couldn't help frowning quickly.
"Yaozen is not dead?" Chu Linyuan was surprised and delighted, and asked Ying Konglai, "Is this true?" Is this credible? ”
Shadow Sky came and nodded: "A while ago, I came over after killing and told me the news, but you were still doing business outside at that time, so you didn't tell you." The lord already knows about it. ”
Chu Linyuan let out a long sigh of relief and said, "No matter what, it's good that Yao Cen is not dead." So is the latter sentence credible? Can Yao Cen come back to save his father? ”
Yingkong thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Yin Lihui's wife and the second young master are old acquaintances, and the two are very good friends, presumably she handed you this note, it should be true." ”
"This is really good," Chu Linyuan had just finished speaking, and he thought of one more thing, and asked Yingkong again: "But how do we contact Yao Cen?" And why do you have to come back to save your father? Does Yin Lihui want to be unfavorable to Yaocen? ”
Shadow Sky thought about it for a while, and nodded, "It's very likely." ”
Chu Linyuan grimaced and asked, "Since that's the case, do we still want to let Yao Cen come back?" ”
