18. Friends and Crises

Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't speak, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him puzzled.

"What's wrong? Shouldn't we reuse such talents? ”

"Father, the son also told him this kind of thing, but he seems to be very resistant to being an official!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "How can anyone not like to be an official?" It must be that you promise too little to others! ”

"That's not the case! He's really not interested in being an official at all! Zhu Biao explained.

"Then you call him, let's have a good talk with him, and let him refine these measures!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "If you don't like to be an official, let's reward him with something he likes!" ”

"Father, I'm afraid that my son won't be able to invite him!" Zhu Biao said weakly.

"What? Are you still an ordinary person? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, he couldn't believe that there were still people who gave Zhu Biao face!

"Erchen didn't show his identity, he only thought I was an ordinary person!" Zhu Biao explained, "We just get along as ordinary people!" ”

"That's not going to work!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I originally wanted to get along as an ordinary person, but in exchange for his alienation and distrust!" ”

"You just don't pretend, have a showdown with him, you are the prince, you have a showdown!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "See if he will refuse your invitation!" ”

"Father, this is not good, he is kind to me, if it weren't for his Lu family's incident, I'm afraid that his sons would still be kept in the dark!" Zhu Biao said, "What's more, Erchen has not had any real friends since he was born!" ”

"Although the families of the ministers know me well, they always maintain a sense of reverence for me!"

"It's a good feeling now, and I've learned what a true friend looks like!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head slightly, and he looked into the distance with his eyes.

Zhu Biao's heartfelt words made his thoughts drift to the time when he was still herding cows!

At that time, he and his friends shared the calf of Landlord Liu's family.

is playing carefree with Tang He, Xu Da, and Zhou Dexing, and now there is indeed an extra layer of estrangement.

He could no longer say heart-wrenching words to his former good brothers, who also put on a thick layer of disguise!

Friendship is a luxury for a king, but he once had!

It wasn't until Zhu Biao took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears that flowed from the corners of his eyes for him that he realized that he had lost his temper.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly pinched his sour nose, looked at Zhu Biao with a loving face, and said, "You did the right thing!" ”

"Father, don't blame me for not being able to bring him?" Zhu Biao opened his mouth in some surprise.

He didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang not only didn't blame, but also supported him uncharacteristically!

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully recalled Zhu Biao's words just now, and said with a slightly surprised tone, "You mean that he saw the poisoning of the Lu family?" ”

"Yes! Although he is young, he is proficient in medicine! ”

"It's rare for you to have such a friend!" Zhu Yuanzhang walked back to the dragon chair with his hands behind his back and said, "You go down, let's call a few ministers from Zhongshu Province to come over and take a look at this countermeasure!" ”

"Son's resignation!"

……

In the small courtyard, Zhang Muzhi just made a batch of white sugar!

Early the next morning, he took the finished sugar to Wang Dan's shop.

When he walked into the shop, he found that Wang Dan, who was usually polite and talkative, was a little out of spirit today.

"Shopkeeper Wang!"

Zhang Muzhi shouted, but Wang Shan ignored him.

"Hey! What's wrong with this man? Why don't you ignore people? ”

When he walked to Wang Dan's side, he found that Wang Dan's face was swollen like a pig's head, and several claw marks were faintly visible.

He grinned and said, "What's wrong?" Is it that the wife and concubine in the family are like tigers and are mad at you? ”

Wang Dan saw Zhang Muzhi coming, and hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows at him.

Zhang Muzhi didn't understand what it meant, and thought that he had told the fact that Wang Shan was afraid of his wife, which made Wang Shan unhappy!

"Aren't you just afraid of your wife! It's not a big deal, don't brow at me! ”

Wang Shan sighed helplessly and hurriedly pulled him and said, "You hurry up!" ”

"What am I going to do?" Zhang Muzhi was puzzled, "Your wife is not my wife, what am I afraid of?" ”

He cleared his throat and said, "Besides, I haven't delivered today's goods yet!" ”

"No! Hurry up, or you won't be able to go! ”

Listening to Wang Dan's anxious words and his swollen face, Zhang Muzhi realized that things might not be what he imagined!

Something bad must have happened.

"Want to go? It's late! ”

A voice came from the screen behind him!

"Oops!" Wang Shan patted his head and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "It's a bad dish!" ”

Immediately after that, a middle-aged man about thirty years old walked out from behind the screen!

The middle-aged man was followed by two thugs with sticks.

The two thugs behind him swept the sticks in their hands and looked at him and Wang Dan with a wicked smile.

"Do you know who we are?" The middle-aged man said slowly.

"Who are you?" Zhang Muyi looks indifferent, anyway, he has always used his strength to convince people.

As long as he is not a big official, he must fight these little people until he is convinced.

"I don't even know who it is, and you still want to do business in Yingtian?"

The middle-aged man spoke in an arrogant tone, and he was very contemptuous of Zhang Muzhi in front of him with a condescending attitude!

"I am ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Muzhi directly interrupted him.

"Whoever you love, who you love!"

His remarks directly frightened Wang Shan on the side and almost fainted.

Fortunately, Wang Shan pinched his own people with his hands in time, and then he was relieved!

"Very good, boy! Success me off! The middle-aged man pointed at him and said, "You are the first person who dares to come with me Hulaihu!" ”

"We can't afford to offend him!" Wang Dan hurriedly covered Zhang Muzhi's mouth.

"We've been waiting for you for a day and a half!" Hu Lai said unceremoniously, "Either hand over your recipe for making sugar, or your sugar can only be sold to me!" ”

"I'll send kindness and give you a profit of ten cents per catty!"

"You...... Don't cover my mouth! ”

Hu Lai kicked Wang Dan away, "If it weren't for this dead fat man's hard mouth, we wouldn't have delayed a day and a half!" ”

"I'll count to three, you'd better hurry up and make a decision!" Hu Lai looked at the two thugs on the left and right, "Otherwise, let them talk to you!" ”

Zhang Muzhi is angry!

He can be insulted, after all, a husband must be able to bend and stretch. He can also ignore the gossip of others, after all, he is not afraid of shadows.

However, when he heard that this person only gave him a profit of ten wen per pound of sugar, and tried to take Fang Zi for himself, he couldn't bear it!

"Three!"

At this time, Hulai shouted the first number!

"I will never allow ......" Zhang Muzhi paused, and his emotions suddenly surged!
