Chapter Seventy-Five: The Eunuch Is Crazy
Early the next morning, Hao Fenglou rode to the hundred households, the hundred households here is quite lively, come to the school, draw lots, and the merchants who came obediently to the driver, there are as many as 100 people.
Hao Fenglou appeared in a unicorn costume with a spirit, this unicorn suit has been quietly washed, and it is still like a cluster of new, such a red costume, especially the pattern on the clothes that looks like a dragon and not a dragon, is enough to attract people's reverie.
"Who is this person?"
"I don't know this, people have vaguely seen it, it is indeed a hundred households in Donghuamen, but you look at his official robe, but it is not like it, the general pro-military attachΓ©, doesn't he only wear a fish suit? What is this red official uniform, by the way, I have seen Yu Linwei's commander wear a bullfighting suit given by Qin, but it is quite similar to this shirt, could it be ......"
"I think this looks like a python robe, worn by the prince."
Everyone was suspicious and couldn't help but be in awe.
In fact, if you want to blame Zhu Yuanzhang for being lazy, the four kinds of clothes he set are simply going to Master Kang and Master Kang Shuai, which are very similar and absolutely coincidental. Even civil and military officials may not be able to distinguish clearly, let alone merchants.
Hao Feng got off the horse downstairs and ignored them, he is now well versed in the truth of governing people, he must not give these people a good face, these people who do business are the most cunning and cunning, but whenever they see you laughing, they will be less in awe of you.
So under the suspicious gaze of everyone, Hao Fenglou went directly to his room, and as soon as he entered the front foot, Zhou Fang trotted in and said, "My lord, more than 60 merchants came, but seven did not arrive." β
Hao Fenglou said: "Did you call someone to urge?" β
"It's called, they say there's something."
Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "Yesterday I got off the driving sticker, but today I said that there was something, isn't this playing with us?" β
Zhou Fang said bitterly: "I'm afraid yes, these seven families, their identities are a little unusual, such as Ruyue Tower, specializing in silk trading, it is rumored that it has something to do with the officials of the household department, as well as Zhang Ji Gambling House, not to mention, they not only have a point in Yingtianfu, but recently, they have also caught up with the people in the palace, so they did not take us seriously." β
Hao Fenglou's eyes narrowed, thoughtful: "They would rather spend a lot of money to hook up with the eunuch and what Lao Shizi Ying Tianfu than pay a little peace money every month, what is the reason?" β
"This ......" Zhou Fang was also confused, and Zuihou said: "This student is not clear." β
Hao Fenglou said bitterly: "Speaking of which, our signboard is not bright enough, do you know that during the Taizu Dynasty, if Jinyiwei got off the driving sticker, what would happen to people?" Even if you are scared to death, there are all kinds of people, but look at it now, what kind of world is this! β
"yes." Zhou Fang wiped her sweat: "The world is different. β
Hao Fenglou said: "So you can't complain about the sky, we have been beating gongs and drums and shouting to collect peace money for so long, who cares about us?" weishenme doesn't care? Speaking of which, in fact, it is to look down on us, a man lives in the world, can he be suffocated to death by urine, can he be suffocated to death? β
Taking a deep breath, Hao Fenglou said, "Let's go, go to this Zhang Ji gambling house." β
He didn't say a word, he walked out of the duty room directly, and shouted: "Zeng Jian, bring your people, come with me." β
Zeng Jian came out of the signing room, hurriedly babbled a few words, and immediately more than a dozen lieutenants and wrestlers gathered, and when those merchants saw this, they didn't know what was going on, so they saw this Baihu Lord riding on a horse, taking these guys, and leaving.
"I said I was going to Zhang Ji Casino."
"Zhang Ji Casino? The owner of this Zhang Ji gambling house is not easy to match, the name of Kuai Dao Zhang, not to mention that it is in Donghua Gate, that is, in the entire inner city, it is also well-known, and he also raised dozens of outlaws, and has a lot to do with Ying Tianfu, and even I heard that he recently for some reason, he went to the eunuch in the palace, you know, this time is different from the past, Emperor Taizu hates eunuchs the most, when Jianwen was there, he also tried his best to clear up the relationship with the eunuchs, but now on the throne, many eunuchs in this palace have made a fortune, what they said, But it's getting more and more effective......"
"Shh......h Caution, this has nothing to do with us, isn't there a saying, the gods fight, let's be ghosts, ask for more blessings, Jinyi Wei got off the driving sticker, people don't come, let's just watch the excitement, if Zhang Ji ignores it, we simply shirk it, this silver, can't be handed over in vain, but if Zhang Ji is soft, they are willing to take the lead, I Wu someone has nothing to say, this is not a matter of silver......"
"Well, but in my opinion, these hundred households are a little reckless, and they don't inquire about who that quick knife Zhang is, nine times out of ten, they will suffer."
"This is not necessarily, the people do not fight with the officials, people are officials after all, no matter how powerful the knife is, it is also the people."
"You are wrong, what kind of officials want to see, what kind of people the people want, if it's just grass people, it's fine, but if it's the kind of people who can eat on all sides, against a hundred households, the outcome is unpredictable."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
All kinds of discussions, the merchants are in a relaxed mood, they are all looking at the lively mentality, watching the excitement is not afraid of big things, I can't wait for the bloody rain.
But it was said that Hao Fenglou took a group of people to Zhang Ji Gambling House, and several thugs in the gambling house stood with their hands crossed, and when they saw a group of people wearing fish suits coming, they immediately became vigilant, and some people smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and hurriedly went to the backyard to find the owner Zhang Biao.
This Zhang Biao was in the wing room in the backyard at this time, receiving distinguished guests. The guest was a eunuch, like all eunuchs, with a white face and no beard, a well-maintained complexion, wearing an ordinary shirt with a large collar, and hanging his head to eat the Biluochun handed by the maidservant.
"This tea is not good." This eunuch speaks with a Beiping accent, this is not to say that he is a eunuch from Beiping, it is really the king of Chu who starved to death in the palace with a thin waist, and now the decent people in the palace are full of Beiping, up and down, the eunuchs naturally learned the northern accent, and now this is popular.
This eunuch's surname is Cheng Mingrang, originally cleaned in the palace prison, after Zhu Di Dingding, the pattern of the palace changed greatly, and important positions were controlled by the eunuchs of the Beiping Palace, these people are outsiders, and naturally they have to buy some cronies, Cheng Rang climbed the high branch at this time, and is now responsible for the purchase in the palace.
The weather is good today, Cheng Rang left the palace, and the purchase was naturally handed over to the next person to do, but he was idle, sitting here directly, waiting for filial piety.
Cheng Rang pulled his throat with a look of disdain: "The most important thing about this tea is the heat, although the tea is a good tea, but there is no craftsmanship, it is a waste, our family is in the palace, what tribute tea has not been eaten, it is rare for you to make this tea?" Say it clearly, the meaning of the above, very clear, you must also know, the treasury has been very tight recently, the storage warehouse in the east of the imperial city, just waiting to take the silver to the pot, our family is Yang Gonggong, Yang Gonggong is the prince, the prince is doing this now, no silver, that is struggling, now in the capital, from the household to the palace, from the palace to Yingtianfu, from Yingtianfu to Shangyuan, Jiangning, Lishui, Gaochun, Jiangpu, Jurong, Liyang, Liuheba County, everyone is red-eyed, weishenme, Looking for silver!
The emperor wants silver, the prince is not happy, the prince is not happy, those adults and the grand dukes will not sleep well, they will not sleep well, can our family be comfortable? Our family is not comfortable, can you have a good life? The truth tells you, you have so many accounts every day in this gambling house, many people on it know, in fact, it is not for nothing to take your silver, as long as things are done in the future, you think about how much benefit it will be, reluctant to let the child can't trap the wolf, now is the snow to send charcoal, in the future, when things pass, you are to move the gold and silver mountains here, that is just the icing on the cake, our family personally came out to find you, but not to eat your tea, you also don't want to take this little tea to prevaricate, delay, give the truth, how much to prepare, report a number, How much makes our family feel at ease. β
