Xingwang Zhu Youqi has only one son for the time being.

If Zhu Houxi died, then the threat of King Xing's lineage to the orthodoxy of the royal family would no longer exist, and Empress Dowager Zhang would no longer be able to focus on An Lu, and Zhu Wanhong, the son of the Zhu family, would no longer be troubled, which was a good opportunity for the Zhu family to turn the tables.

But Zhu Jiashi has no better way.

Seeing off Lin Baihu, Zhu Jiashi came to the bedroom next to the landlord and saw her husband on the sickbed.

Although my husband can't speak or express himself most of the time, he can still hear and understand words.

When she roughly recounted what Lin Baihu said, Zhu Mingshan's eyes showed helplessness.

"Master, our Zhu family has been in Huguang for so long, if we can really complete the mission, we will be able to settle here with peace of mind from now on, and the boss can also be his Jinyi Wei deputy Qianhu in the capital with peace of mind...... There had been a rumor in the palace before that the boss had the opportunity to take charge of a ...... alone"

Zhu Mingshan closed his eyes gloomily and said nothing more.

Zhu Jia's eyes became more and more determined: "For the sake of the Zhu family, even if it is against the world's disapproval, you have to do it, the emperor once arranged people to help the master in the Anlu realm, and many of them are good, if there is a chance...... Just do it...... Don't do anything to King Xing, only for the little prince, don't insist anymore. ”

It turned out that the Zhu family had already planned to assassinate King Xing or the prince of King Xing.

After King Xing arrived in Anlu, he only gave birth to two sons for so many years, and one of the sons died shortly after birth, which is not without roots.

Zhu Mingshan didn't open his eyes, and acquiesced to his wife's idea.

……

……

Zhu Hao has been wandering around Anluzhou City for the past few days.

Nominally, it is to inspect the commercial layout of the city, but in fact, it is specifically focused on Xingwangfu.

"Emperor Ming Zuxun, brother to brother, and finally Zhu Houyu can be the emperor, relying on him Zhu Houzhao's cousin, initially he was succeeded to the Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youji's lineage, if Zhu Houyu died, then the Xingwang family could no longer touch the throne, even if Zhengde died and Xingwang was alive......"

Zhu Hao circled around the Xingwang Mansion a few times in a few days.

The four gates of the palace are due south and north, as well as southeast and southwest.

The appearance is a bit like the Forbidden City, if you follow the layout of the Forbidden City that you visited in your previous life, the place where the prince lives should be on the east side of the palace, but it is too difficult to enter the palace.

For the time being, I didn't find that Xingwangfu had the need to recruit domestic servants and slaves, which means that there was not even the slightest chance to get in.

On the east side of Xingwangfu is a flower and bird market, and there are many giants and gentry living around, and there is a demand for vassal elegance. Zhu Hao entered the market and turned around, looking for opportunities, and it was rumored that Zhu Youqing, the king of Xingxing, liked antique calligraphy and painting very much, just like when Zhu Quan, the old king of Ning, was suspicious of Zhu Di, he also relied on Taoguang's means to get a good death.

Zhu Youqi was unaware of the dangers he faced.

Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhi had a son, Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao still has no son......

This is to catch ducks on the shelves!

Zhu Youqi likes to play with culture, often buys some from the market, there is demand and supply, the east side of the palace is surrounded by the flower and bird market and forms a cultural play street, and the restaurant tea shop comes into being, becoming more and more lively. This area is considered to be a gathering place for literati and scholars in the state city, and Zhu Hao has been in and out many times, but he can't find a breakthrough.

On this day, he was bored, and bought two baked cakes on the side of the street to eat, when he suddenly saw a bird seller pushing a wooden cart from a distance, and went to Xingwang's Mansion while selling along the street.

There was nothing unusual about doing business, but the vendor found a vacant seat at the flower and bird market, and when he lifted the hem slightly, the fine leather boots under his feet leaked out.

A small vendor who walks the streets and alleys can afford to wear expensive boots?

Zhu Hao took a closer look and found that from time to time someone used to sit down next to the bird stall, as if admiring the birds, but saw the vendor looking around vigilantly, his lips moving, as if he was telling something.

From this point alone, Zhu Hao judged that this was a person who had a plot against the Xingwang Mansion.

……

……

The vendors set up their stalls and left in less than half an hour.

Zhu Hao smiled and walked to the old woman selling flower pots on the side and asked, "Was there a bird seller here just now?" I want to buy a starling and go back to play. ”

The old woman looked at Zhu Hao with a strange look, as if to say, you buy starlings, and you actually came to talk to me about the flower pot seller?

"Gone!"

The old woman looked impatient.

Zhu Hao asked puzzledly, "Why did you leave?" Old man, don't you know him? Where can I find him? ”

The old woman shook her head in disgust: "I don't know." ”

"Do you usually sell more birds here?" Zhu Hao did not relent.

The old woman was angry, glared at Zhu Hao and said, "If you want to buy birds, go inside, there are many stalls for sale, don't get in the way here...... Which child who doesn't open his eyes is making trouble. ”

As soon as he heard it, he knew that this old woman had been setting up a stall for a long time, and Zhu Hao finally found his goal.

Zhu Hao asked the price, and then bought a small flower pot for two pennies, and the old woman's eyebrows and eyes instantly stretched, and she was willing to stubble with Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao asked: "Old man, I want to ask, is that the palace next to it?" With such a high wall, the gate is closed at any time, and someone inside can come out to buy something from here? ”

The old woman opened the door, was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "That's the prince and dignitary, will it be rare to see the broken things here?" ”

"Then you don't have children or anything, come out and buy a starling, or buy something new and fun like me?" Zhu Hao shifted the issue to his own focus.

The old woman's smile froze, and after a little thought, she seemed to recall something: "Two or three months ago, when the weather was not so hot, a few people came out of the small gate on the east side of the palace, and there was a doll about the same age as you, and her voice was so squeamish, and she came to ask if there were any rabbits for sale...... It's a strange thing every year. ”

Buy rabbits?

This is a useful clue for Zhu Hao.

When Zhu Hao observed the terrain of Xingwangfu, he thought about a question, children love to play by nature, even if the family is strictly controlled, they will still try their best to find new and interesting things, is Zhu Houxi willing to stay in the compound and not contact the outside environment?

The place where Zhu Houxi lives should be on the east side of the palace, and the east side is a lively flower and bird market.

"I'm an expert at catching rabbits, can I set up a stall next to you to sell rabbits?" Zhu Hao asked with a grin.

The old woman glanced at Zhu Hao: "Little bad embryo, look at your bad stomach, are you here to buy starlings, or are you here to entertain the old woman?" ”

Zhu Hao dropped a copper plate: "Thank you, old man, next time I will bring a few rabbits to set up a stall, if there are more children in the palace, I will sell the rabbits for money...... The old man helped me keep an eye on it, thank you! ”

……

……

The old woman didn't seem to be lying, and it was difficult to say whether the child she came out of her mouth to inquire about buying rabbits was Zhu Houxi herself.

But Zhu Hao feels that this is probably the biggest breakthrough he has found in the past few days.

As for who the person who set up the stall to sell birds before, Zhu Hao didn't care, but probably guessed that it might be related to the mission of the Zhu family to move to Anlu.

It is precisely because of the great popularity of Xingwangfu that he will act so low-key, you must know that Xingwang Zhu Youqi has little contact with even the people of the local government, and he is cautious in his life, but he doesn't want to be talked about.

Zhu Hao returned home.

The first thing is to get a few rabbits to set up a stall outside Xingwang's mansion.

Even if you are lucky, it is better than sitting still.

I didn't want Zhu Niang to call him over, and said: "Xiaohao, Yu San just sent a letter back from Wuchang Mansion and found a buyer, and he will bring someone to Anlu to pick up the goods in the next two days and go to Hanshui." ”

Zhu Hao said: "Isn't it okay for my mother to contact them?" Ask me why? ”

"Xiao Hao, do we really want to sell salt to others? Actually, we keep it for ourselves...... It's not impossible. ”

Zhu Niang is obviously worried about the accident of selling smuggled salt, but in fact, the salt left in the shop is all serious official salt, and there are traces to follow, but Zhu Niang is too cautious and cautious, and she has never done anything like a traitor in the past.

Zhu Hao grinned: "Why did my mother get up from the front and back?" Now that there are buyers, what are we afraid of? By the way, mother, didn't you contact your aunt? She's in Jingshan County, and she also helps sell some salt or something......"

Zhu Niang said: "Time is in a hurry, I didn't have time to inform ...... Looking ahead, this word is good, but you haven't enlightened yet, where did you learn these new words? ”

Zhu Hao smiled and revealed the problem: "I heard what people said, and I wrote it down if I thought it sounded good." ”

As a child who should be illiterate, Zhu Hao sometimes speaks with words that should not be said by children of his age.

Before, Zhu Niang's attention was all about whether she could keep the shop, and she didn't care too much about her son's choice of words and sentences.

Now that she was more relaxed, she immediately realized what the problem was.

"Mother, I'd better ask your husband to come back earlier......"

Zhu Niang seems to have made up her mind to let her son study in enlightenment, "I can't always let you run around outside, my mother is forced to come out to do business, and you ...... When you grow up, you must not become a pawn of a peddler, in that case, your mother will be too sorry for your father. ”

The mother here wanted to express her feelings, but she saw her son trotting all the way to the back of the counter: "Mother, give me two dollars of silver, or two hundred yuan, I will go outside the city to hire a few people to do things...... Don't worry, I won't spend money indiscriminately. ”

Zhu Niang looked at her son's sincere appearance and was a little puzzled.

"What are you hiring?"

Zhu Niang was puzzled, but her son was doing the construction of the salt pond before, and she had nothing to doubt, so she took two strings of money with her and handed them to her son.

Zhu Hao said: "I'll explain to my mother when I go back, this involves whether I can stay with my mother in the future...... Let's pay the gods. ”

"Reward God?"

Zhu Niang was confused.

Zhu Hao touched the back of his head, nodded and said, "Of course you have to reward God, otherwise how do you think I came up with so many good ideas?" I went to the temple to thank the gods for giving me a brilliant mind, mother...... Anyway, I'll go first! ”

Zhu Niang wanted to stop her son and talk about finding her husband, but when she saw Zhu Haotou, she didn't go back and ran out.

"This kid is too wild, we must find a way to make him take care of it, otherwise the future is worrying!" Zhu Niang's face was helpless.
