It's time for rest again.

Zhu Hao went home normally, there was no difference from before, if there was a inconsistency, it was that in the palace, he was more pretending to be sick and acting very weak, and now in order not to let his family suspect him, he jumped up and down, looking full of vitality, in fact, this is his real situation.

The first thing I did when I got home was to ask about Su Xigui's salt.

Zhu Niang seemed to have some premonition, looked at her son and asked, "Xiaohao, are you okay in the palace?" ”

Zhu Hao scratched his head: "Why does my mother ask that?" Did someone say something to my mother? ”

"Nope."

Zhu Niang frowned slightly, "It's just that I've been a little uneasy recently, nothing happened at home, I thought you encountered something difficult in the palace, and you were safe and sound." ”

Then Zhu Niang told what had happened these days.

Zhu Hao said: "It's only been ten days, it stands to reason that the first batch of salt can't be dried, tomorrow I will go to see him, in addition to asking about the situation of salt, but also to buy land quickly, in the end he has our five thousand taels of silver." ”

Aunt Li reminded: "Young Master Hao, I have discussed this matter with your mother, even if the owner of Su Dong does not give us the five thousand taels, if the incident has not happened, there is no need to tear up the skin for the five thousand taels." ”

Zhu Hao did not relent: "How can he be allowed to cheat on a good deal in black and white?" Besides, 5,000 taels is really not a small amount, we can't suffer this loss, suffer this thing...... Once you eat it once, others will think that you are a bully, and they will stare at you in the future to take advantage, don't think that we orphans and widows dare not fight. ”

Zhu Hao's words gave Zhu Niang confidence.

Zhu Niang bowed: "What Xiao Hao said makes sense, if we hadn't fought hard before, we wouldn't have been able to keep the farm house and house, and we couldn't make people think that we were easy to bully." ”

……

……

Early the next morning.

The old lady Zhu Jiashi sent a carriage to pick Zhu Hao out of the city.

This time, he did not come to the city in person to interrogate, but took Zhu Hao to Zhu's mansion, and Zhu Hao roughly guessed that it should be related to the fact that he pretended to be the prince of Xingwang before.

It was just an ordinary coachman who came to pick him up.

Zhu Hao took the carriage to the Zhu family manor, and when he came to the back hall, he saw Zhu Jia's family standing with Lin Baihu.

Everything was expected by Zhu Hao.

Lin Baihu specially instructed Lu Song, warning him not to tell the Zhu family about pretending to be the prince of Xingwang, to ensure that everything was under his control, and of course to come to the Zhu family in person.

"Zhu Hao, this is the Jinyi Weilin Baihu, you have seen it before." Zhu Jia's introduction.

Zhu Hao saluted respectfully: "I've seen Lin Baihu." ”

looked over with a bit of confusion...... Didn't you say that this person had already returned to the capital? Could it be that when he told Lu Song about returning to the capital before, he was deceiving people and making Lu Song relax his vigilance?

Zhu Jiashi said: "Lin Baihu is going to escort Gonggong Zhang from Anlu and go to Xuanfu on business, and before leaving, I will come to ask you about the situation in the palace." If there's anything, just say it. ”

The old lady deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "speak directly" in her words, but it was actually a warning to Zhu Hao, you have to distinguish what you can and can't say.

Zhu Hao said: "Everything is very normal in the palace, just ordinary classes and dismissals, and I live with Jinghong, the son of the Jingzhi County family, at night, and there is nothing abnormal in these days." ”

This can be regarded as following Lin Baihu's meaning, and does not mention his experience of pretending to be the prince of Xingwang.

Lin Baihu looked at it, and there was a little more smile on his face.

Probably satisfied with Lu Song's efficiency and ability...... He didn't think that Lu Song would reveal his identity, and he didn't expect that the two would have already connected.

And Zhu Hao ......

As he imagined, he knew each other very well.

Zhu Jiashi was slightly dissatisfied with Zhu Hao's words, but this dissatisfaction was mostly pretended, her face was cold, and she said: "Let you enter the palace, you haven't found any useful news until now, how can you deal with the court after you let Lin Baihu go back?" Tell me about your relationship with the prince of Xingwang. ”

Zhu Hao said: "The prince is now learning "Mencius", Mr. Gongsun teaches very well, and his studies are making rapid progress, but there may be some celebrations in the palace recently, and the prince does not go to class every day, besides, ...... Maybe Lin Baihu knows something. ”

Zhu Jia's eyes naturally fell on Lin Baihu.

Lin Baihu frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "I remember that my family told me before that they wanted me to meet Lin Baihu's eyeliner in the palace, but then I didn't know why...... Is there something wrong with your eyeliner? ”

Lin Baihu sneered: "What do you have to do with it? ”

Zhu Jiashi seemed to have grasped the handle, and asked according to Zhu Hao's meaning: "Lin Baihu, since you are going back to Beijing, should you also inform the Zhu family of your local layout in Anlu, so that someone can take care of it if something happens, so that there will be no chaos?" ”

Lin Baihu didn't expect to be put on the spot by Zhu Hao, he naturally wouldn't tell Lu Song's true identity, but he didn't know how to deal with Zhu Jia's questioning.

"The person was transferred, and the palace found out his identity...... Didn't the old lady know about it before? This time, when I return to Beijing, I may see Zhu Deputy Qianhu, and if the old lady has anything to say as soon as possible, I will inform Zhu Deputy Qianhu ......"

Lin Baihu could only try to change the topic.

Zhu Jiashi thought of his eldest son who was suffering in Beijing, waved his hand to let Zhu Hao go out, and then said to Lin Baihu: "Then let's have a good discussion." ”

……

……

When Zhu Hao was called to the back hall again, Lin Baihu was no longer there, leaving only Zhu Jiashi standing there.

"Grandson, in the past few days, nothing has really happened in the palace?" Zhu Jia's tone was indifferent.

Zhu Hao said: "Grandmother, that's not the case, as far as I know, that Imperial Horse Supervisor Zhang Gonggong has seen the prince of Xingwang, and it seems that he still poisoned the prince during the banquet...... Shizi hadn't been to class for a few days, and he didn't know how the poisoning had happened. ”

Zhu Jiashi said sharply: "Why didn't you say such a big thing before?" ”

Zhu Hao said cautiously: "Lin Baihu was here before, it seems that the poisoning is related to Lin Baihu, I can't talk nonsense in front of him." ”

Zhu Jiashi's face was full of anger.

It seems that he is angry that Lin Baihu deceived the Zhu family.

Zhu Hao had to say in this matter.

The ghost only knew if Lin Baihu would let people inform him that he couldn't tell him about pretending to be the prince of Xingwang, but at the same time, he secretly told the Zhu family...... Once Zhu Hao doesn't report anything after he comes back, the Zhu family will definitely feel that he is separated from the family, and he can't say that he will stab him in the back again.

The people of Jinyi Wei are insidious and vicious, this kind of thing has to be guarded against.

But he observed Zhu Jia's reaction and roughly judged that Lin Baihu did not mention Zhang Zhong's meeting with Wang Xing's son to Zhu Jia's family.

Then Zhu Hao doesn't need to say that he pretended to be Zhu Houxi to see Zhang Zhong, and he was poisoned, anyway, it's true or false, and several forces don't trust each other, I only promise to say everything I can say, even if the Zhu family gets some rumors to question, he can also say that he has said everything he knows.

Some people say that I pretend to be the prince of Xingwang, and the Zhu family believes it?

What about the evidence?

Zhu Hao now wants to destroy the trust between Lin Baihu and the Zhu family, and it doesn't matter what the truth is.

He is not afraid that the palace will be held accountable.

Zhang Zhong was poisoned, Lin Baihu was present, Lin Baihu entered Zhu's house to talk with Zhu Jia's family, can he hide it from Xingwangfu? Why do you think that it was not Lin Baihu who notified the Zhu family of this matter?

The Xingwang Mansion did not let Zhu Hao leak the news, more to regulate Zhu Hao's behavior and position, rather than really relying on Zhu Hao to hide the matter.

"Grandson, you didn't say this in front of Lin Baihu before, you are right, recently I found out that he has a lot to hide from my Zhu family, you now have to find his eyeliner in the palace as much as possible, after Lin Baihu leaves, you can use the eyeliner for my Zhu family."

Zhu Jia's because of Zhu Hao's "whistleblowing", he has a little more expectations for Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao was puzzled: "But grandmother, I can't be trusted in the palace at all, there is something in the palace that will avoid me, and I can't find out the deeper news." ”

Zhu Jiashi had a good face before, and immediately turned cold when he heard the words: "If it's not difficult, why let you go?" It's okay, you go back first! ”

Sure enough, he abandoned it after using it, and he still hoped to make meritorious contributions to the Zhu family to gain benefits?

Zhu Hao is glad that he chose to belong to the Xingwang Mansion from the beginning, if he really does things for the Zhu family, thankless efforts, he may be betrayed by the Zhu family in the end, the Zhu family does not regard him as a blood relative at all, he is simply regarded as an enemy, which is really incomprehensible.

……

……

After Zhu Hao left, Steward Liu entered the back hall.

"Old lady, Lin Baihu just left, I heard that he was going back to the capital, did you send the box prepared before to his residence?" Steward Liu asks for instructions.

Zhu Jiashi said with a dark face: "No need. ”

Steward Liu looked surprised: "It's all ready...... Why is that? On the eldest master's side, doesn't he also need Lin Baihu to take care of it? ”

Zhu Jia's tone was disdainful: "He has only a hundred households, what can he take care of?" The silver tael that was sent to Jingshi to settle the relationship before may not have been deducted by him, but now he is just accompanying Zhang Zhong, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, to take up his post in Xuanfu, and he is doing a hard job...... Do you really regard him as a capable person in the DPRK? He is not worth mentioning in front of my Zhu family. ”

The Zhu family has a dislike for Lin Baihu?

Steward Liu, as the inner response of the palace in the Zhu family, did not keep up with the rhythm of the Zhu Jia family.

Lin Baihu came to visit before, and the two sides talked secretly for a long time, why did they suddenly have a conflict, and they made a lot of bitterness?

"Old lady, did Lin Baihu do it...... I'm sorry about the Zhu family? Steward Liu hurriedly asked.

Like Zhu Hao spying on intelligence in the palace, Steward Liu also relied on intelligence in exchange for benefits, if he could find out the secrets of Jinyiwei, Xingwangfu would naturally not treat him badly.

Zhu Jiashi glanced at him: "It's none of your business, don't ask about idle things." ”

"Yes, yes."

Steward Liu found that the old lady was wary of herself, so she turned to ask for instructions, "I don't know the little young master of the third lady's family......"

Zhu Jiashi waved his hand: "Just let someone send him back to the city, if you want, you can send him in person." This kid is very alert, and I believe that he can play an important role in the palace, which should not be underestimated! ”

In terms of the relationship between the Zhu family and Lin Baihu, Zhu Jia's concealed it from Steward Liu, but deliberately revealed his appreciation for Zhu Hao.

Naturally, Steward Liu listened to this.

Originally, Steward Liu had a mind about Zhu Hao's use by the Zhu family, and now he didn't take the opportunity to go to the palace to complain, just said that this kid ate inside and out, and this time he went home to definitely reveal the secret of the palace to the Zhu family......
