It seems that there is really nothing to hide from Jiang Xuan, judging from Jiang Xuan's current performance, he is helping Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan himself can't figure it out, since he is helping himself, why can't he send some Jinyi guards to help? If there were a few Jinyi Wei masters present that day, I wouldn't have died if I thought about it, right?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhen couldn't help but feel a little resentful of Jiang Xuan.

As soon as Zhang Lu left, a voice came to mind outside the window of Jiang Xuan's study: "Why?"

This voice came from the mouth of Luo Kedi, and I saw Jiang Zhen smile and said, "Luo Tongzhi likes to listen to the root of the wall, this problem is not good."

Luo Kedi didn't say anything else, but asked again, "Why?"

Jiang Xuan walked to the window, opened the window, glared at Luo Kedi and asked, "Luo Tong knows that this has no beginning and no end, what is why?"

Luo Kedi raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xuan, his eyes were full of coldness, "Why did you give him Mao Xiang's saber? Why did you help him with the Nine Gates? What are your plans?"

Jiang Xuan didn't seem to see Luo Kedi's coldness, the corners of his mouth turned up, and said, "Didn't this commander say it, that kid is very good, and this commander wants to cultivate him."

In the eyes of Luo Kedi, Jiang Zhen is both righteous and evil, and he often seems to be out of order, but in fact, he hides mysteries step by step, everyone does everything for a reason, but Jiang Zhen does many things that people can't see the reason, such a person makes Luo Kedi feel very dangerous, and it also makes Luo Kedi completely unable to see through. And Jiang Zhen wants to cultivate the juniors, there is no need to send Mao Xiang's knife out, this is equivalent to sending out the inheritance of Jinyiwei, and now Jiang Zhen is also at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, there is no need to rush to find a successor for Jinyiwei.

So how can Luo Kedi believe Jiang Zhen's words? He didn't bring wine today, but came with a knife, he pulled out his saber, pointed at Jiang Zhen and asked, "Why?"

Jiang Xuan hurriedly raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender, but the smile on his face did not disappear at all, and he only heard him say, "What makes sense of this? Luo Tongzhi asked the commander to say it, and the commander said it, but Luo Tongzhi not only didn't believe it, but he also had to fight against his colleagues."

Luo Kedi tilted his head, he had too many worries, there was Han Qin, and there were two apprentices, otherwise he wouldn't mind cutting Jiang Zhen directly today.

"You'd better not play any tricks, if there's a good guy in Zhang, I'll kill you!" Roque's voice was cold, but he eventually put the saber back into its sheath. After the warning, there was no need for him to stay here, but just turned around and left.

Jiang Zhen also put down his raised hands and shouted to Luo Kedi, who had not yet gone far: "This commander is the envoy of the province, Luo Tongzhi can rest assured."

……

Zhang Yan held a new embroidered spring knife in his hand, and just after he came out of Jinyiwei, he met Zhao Shannan.

When Zhang Lu saw him, he immediately stepped forward and arched his hand, saying, "You really have some skills, and your predictions have come true."

As he spoke, Zhang Lu took out three taels of silver from his bosom and put it in Zhao Shannan's hand, and continued: "I said that it was good, your prediction came true, I took out three taels of silver, and you put it away."

Zhao Shannan put the silver in his arms and said, "Thank you for your patronage."

While the two were talking, Wu Peng also happened to come out of Jinyiwei, and he naturally stepped forward to say hello.

The three of them exchanged politeness, and Zhao Shannan asked directly at Zhang Yuan, "Are you interested in joining our credit knife people?"

The trading of the credit knife man made Zhang Zhen feel quite interesting, and after seeing Zhao Shannan's prediction again, Zhang Zhen became more curious about the credit knife man, but he still had a lot of things to do, so he could only refuse: "I am entangled in mundane affairs, and I really have no way and no time to join the credit knife man."

Now Zhang Lu still wants to go back to the house to have a look, and after he finished speaking, he said hello and left on his own.

Wu Peng also wanted to leave, but he was pulled by Zhao Shannan.

Wu Peng was puzzled, turned around and asked, "What does the donor mean?"

Zhao Shannan asked directly, "Do you remember the prediction I gave you?"

Wu Peng nodded and replied, "Naturally, I remember, you said that a poor monk has a dead knot."

Zhao Shannan said, "Yes, now the dead knot has appeared

If he can join, it will be good for him, for you, and for me, and the knot of your monk will be untied."

Wu Peng looked at Zhang Yuan's back, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, whether to join or not, it is his own choice, the poor monk will not persuade him, it is normal for life and death to have knots, if it is difficult for the poor monk, then the poor monk will suffer."

After speaking, Wu Peng also left.

Although life and death have life and wealth, sometimes life and death are only between one choice, this fact is not easy to force, Zhao Shannan had no choice but to shake his head, said a pity and left.

Now that the business of Jinling City's credit knife is almost over, he has also seen those interesting scenery and people, and now it is time for him to leave Jinling.

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Lu wanted to go to James's Mansion to study, but was summoned into the palace by a holy decree.

Zhang Lu followed the eunuch who led the way all the way to the imperial study, and Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be waiting for him here.

Before Zhang Yu could see the salute, Zhu Yuanzhang had already spoken, "Are your injuries healed?"

Zhang Lu immediately replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen has already healed."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, tapped his fingers on the fold, and said, "In the past two days, several courtiers have impeached you, all of whom say that you killed innocents in vain. I don't know what you have to say?"

Zhang Zhen knew that an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang had his own sources, and since Jiang Zhen had already said that the reward would come down in a few days, then Zhu Yuanzhang must have known everything about the Nine Gates and the Dark Lord.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang still asked was to see Zhang Lu's attitude and character.

Zhang Zhen had already thought of this, and he had already prepared for it.

I only heard him speak: "Wechen didn't kill innocents, but those beasts that should have been killed."

Zhang Yan said, took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and handed it over with both hands.

The little eunuch next to him took it and forwarded it to Zhu Yuanzhang's case.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Yuan, and did not open the paper to look at it, but asked directly, "Zhang Rong, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Wechen has opened several lottery centers in Jinling, which is quite profitable."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "I heard about this lottery center."

I heard that it was easy to do, and it saved a lot of tongue, but he still said: "The lottery business can be promoted throughout the Ming Dynasty, as long as the promotion is good, it will definitely reduce the number of gamblers, and at the same time it can also obtain huge profits."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I really didn't expect your kid to have such a big appetite, are you planning to cooperate with the imperial court?"

Zhang Yan said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not seeking cooperation, but intends to give this business to Your Majesty and to Daming. What Wechen has just presented is the lottery business that Wechen controls, and Wechen occupies two components of the existing lottery center, and is willing to contribute to the imperial court."

Nowadays, the lottery business in Jinling City is extremely hot, and the monthly dividends of the two components are thousands of taels, which is definitely a huge amount of money.

Just imagine,If the lottery business can really spread throughout the Ming Dynasty,What a huge and inexhaustible wealth these two components will become.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly opened the paper,This is Zhang Zhen has already drawn up the contract,As long as Zhu Yuanzhang stamps the seal,Then the lottery center has nothing to do with Zhang Yuan.

Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shrank, and his face couldn't help but become serious, and he asked Zhang Yuan, "So rich, you kid is willing to give it to Da Ming?"

Zhang Lu shrugged his shoulders and replied directly: "You have said that this is a huge rich, and I still understand the truth that the husband is not guilty and guilty. The lottery trade is too profitable, presumably there will be a lot of people who want to get a piece of the pie, want to spread this business throughout the Ming Dynasty, out of the court, the rest of who touches who die. Money is important, but I think life is more important."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he had a very high evaluation of Zhang Zhen before, it can be seen that Zhang Zhen's performance today, after listening to Zhang Zhen's words today, Zhu Yuanzhang still feels that he will be Zhang

The chariot looked down.

I only heard Zhu Yuanzhang say: "People, the most difficult thing to defeat is money, you kid can be so thorough at this age, it's very good."

gave away all his wealth, and Zhang Yan was also very distressed, but he still smiled slightly, compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "That is, Weichen has always had a nickname, which makes the world sober."

"Sober in the world?" Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard, tasted the meaning of these four words, and then said with a smile: "What a sober person in the world, these four words of yours have made me sober a lot, I was really almost confused by your wealth just now."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face, stared at Zhang Yu with sharp eyes, and asked, "Let's talk about it, what do you want to get for such a big fortune?"

The four words of sobriety in the world woke up Zhu Yuanzhang, and he knew that Zhang Lu must have asked for something if he contributed so much wealth. Generally, there is a problem with being an emperor, that is, I can give it, but you can't ask for it yourself, otherwise the emperor will be very unhappy.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is not very happy now.

Zhang Yan felt the coldness in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and immediately said, "Weichen wants Your Majesty to live a long life, wants Daming to be able to live for a long time, and wants my uncle and brother to live happily."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, but then his face softened, and he said, "You kid is a person who knows how to advance and retreat."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, put away the few impeachment pieces on the table, and then said: "This matter will pass first, this lottery ticket is very good, I promise you, I can fulfill one of your wishes in the future, and when you think about it, you can ask me for it."
