"The reason why Ouyang Lun wants to intervene sideways should be because Lu Zhongheng and them instigated it." Zhu Su said thoughtfully. "Lu Zhongheng, they are just martial artists after all, or outdated martial artists, although buying and selling prisoners is now a gray area that is not prohibited by law in my Ming Dynasty, but buying those prisoners who are older than the military formation, in other words, is hoarding private soldiers."

"It just so happened that at this time, they found that Ouyang Lun was bent on interfering in Feng Mingzhou's livelihood, and he was eager for profit...... Therefore, they persuaded Ouyang Lun to repurpose this business of buying and selling prisoners, after all, pulling Ouyang Lun into the water was to give them a layer of invincible golden body...... Heh, they are our father's old subordinates for decades, and they know best where our father's soft-hearted place is. ”

"Valuing kinship...... Yes. Zhu Di narrowed his eyes.

Zhu Su nodded and continued: "I'm afraid what they think is: Ouyang Lun is our father's son-in-law, if he is also involved, in case the East Window incident happens, with a fool like him in front, even if it is a crime that should have been killed, it will be a few levels lighter." ”

He snorted coldly and said, "Tang Shengzong Lu Zhongheng acted recklessly before, suffered a great crime, and a good Hou Mansion has been in ruins since then...... Now I'm a good learner, and I know how to find a big head in front of me. ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid they miscalculated. I see, according to our father's temperament of not rubbing sand in his eyes...... Even if Ouyang Lun was also involved, his father would cut Ouyang Lun and these bastards together. Zhu Fan laughed and expressed his disdain for Tang Shengzong's method of looking for Ouyang Lun as a shield.

Zhu Su's heart was really said by Zhu Zhang, in the original history, Ouyang Lun was beheaded because he was backed by the royal family and connived at the house slaves to run amok in the name of the royal family.

It can be seen that although Lao Zhu attaches great importance to family affection, it is far from the point of bottomless connivance.

"What's next?" Zhu Di asked Zhu Sudao.

"This matter is not limited to Ouyang Lun. Why don't you tell the eldest brother and let him decide? Zhu Fan asked tentatively.

"No, I can't. If the eldest brother wants to solve it, it is nothing more than to use the power of the court, and if the power of the court moves, it will be equivalent to telling his father that Ouyang Lun wants to collude with Lu Zhongheng and the others......" Zhu Su shook his head and said. "According to my father's temper, even if Ouyang Lun does not die, he will definitely be punished heavily, not to mention that Lu Zhongheng and others must have given Ouyang Lun a lot of benefits, maybe there is a paper covenant. If they take down Lu Zhongheng, they will definitely bite Ouyang Lun out. ”

"What then? Could it be that only Lu Zhongheng will be punished, not Ouyang Lun? How can the imperial court serve the people? ”

"You still want to get Ouyang Lun out of this matter?" Zhu Di said in surprise.

"Hmm." Zhu Su nodded. "I've got an idea."

For the sake of the family harmony of the old Zhu family, Zhu Su felt that his heart was broken......

Yingtian City West, Ouyang Lun Mansion.

"The three brothers came together, and the humble house was really, really...... Blooming! Ouyang Lun looked excited, and personally walked in front to welcome Zhu Su and the three into the mansion. Zhu Zhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Su are all powerful princes in the forefront of the Ming Dynasty, and there is really no comparison with him, who is only on the edge of the power of the imperial court.

Zhu Fan's face was gloomy, and he didn't pay attention to Ouyang Lun. Zhu Di just chuckled and glanced at him, but Zhu Su smiled: "My sister-in-law is in a good mood...... Hehe. Anqing is not in the house? ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess has left Beijing with Her Majesty and Niangniang, and has not yet returned." Ouyang Lun replied with a smile.

"I see." Zhu Su nodded. That's fine, no matter how Princess Anqing said it, she is also the sister of herself and others, when she scares Ouyang Lun for a while, it won't be good if Anqing is also frightened.

"Take me to the private room in the backyard first, I have something important to tell you." Zhu Su said.

Ouyang Lun felt a bit bad from Zhu Su's words. But he still comforted himself that maybe he was allowed to do business, so he welcomed Zhu Su and the others into the study in the backyard with trepidation.

As soon as they entered the study, the three brothers Zhu Su, Zhu Di, and Zhu Fan took care of themselves and sat on their own seats, there were only three seats in the study, but Ouyang Lun, who was supposed to be the master, was left aside.

"Uh, I'm going to ask the house slave to move a ......chair," Ouyang Lun turned around a little embarrassed.

"Don't bother with that, just stand here...... Oh, go and close the door first. Zhu Fan said casually, with an anti-customer-oriented posture. Ouyang Lun was stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to refute, he turned around and closed the door in a daze, and turned around to listen to the lectures of Zhu Fan and others.

"Looking for the king's way, I want to do the business of the nine sides...... Do you fancy the leather goods, ginseng and other things outside the customs, or do you fancy ......?"

"People?" Zhu Su asked first.

What Zhu Su said had no beginning or end, but Ouyang Lun was still stunned when he heard it, and then he panicked, and hurriedly defended: "Fifth brother...... Why did my brother say this? I...... I fancy the fact that I am a leather merchant outside the Guan, and I have never thought of buying and selling any prisoners......"

"What did the fifth child say, what kind of captive? Do you dare to quibble? Zhu Fan scolded angrily, Ouyang Lun's face suddenly turned pale, and Zhu Su shook his head from the sidelines: This Ouyang Lun is really a straw bale......

"That is...... Even if Lun wants to be a captive business, there is nothing wrong with this business, many Hou Mansions such as Ji'an Hou Mansion and Yan'an Hou Mansion are doing this business, why can't we do it...... "Ouyang Lun quibbled.

"Since you think you can do it, why did you come to the way of the fifth child?" Zhu Di's tone was indifferent, debunking Ouyang Lun's sophistry. "You said that you want to do a leather business, aren't you afraid that the fifth child will not agree? If you can do it yourself, why not do it yourself? ”

"Don't you want to borrow the name of the fifth child and let those border generals give you convenience, how rich you are? If you have a clear conscience, why should you do this? ”

"This ......" Ouyang Lun's face was dejected.

"To this day, I still feel that this is just a money-making business, and when I die, I still don't know it, and there is only you Ouyang Lun in the world." Zhu Su said. When Ouyang Lun heard the word "death", he shook his whole body and raised his head suddenly: "Why did my brother say this?" ”

"Why do you say that this is the end of death?"

"Do you really think this business is a good business? Those captives are all soldiers of the former enemy country who were enemies of our Ming Dynasty! Buying in bulk, are you hiring tenants or hoarding private soldiers? It's best to buy it with the armor soldiers...... Are you really blind in the eyes of Jinyiwei? Zhu Fan scolded angrily.

“…… If it is really a good business, why don't Lu Zhongheng, Tang Shengzong and others swallow it by themselves. But you want to come to the door to share the profit with you? Zhu Di continued.
