Lingyun Pavilion, a place where the name sounds, is full of pride and ambition.

However, when Chu Ze really stepped here, he realized that he had taken it for granted after all.

Throughout the three lofts, each window is covered with red or pink tulle.

When the sun shines through these tulle into the attic, the whole attic is filled with a warm hue that makes you feel relaxed.

The crisp bell sound is accompanied by a tactful and melodious guzheng.

From the inside out, it is showing two words, extravagant!

"The virtuous nephew is here! I thought my nephew was too busy today and didn't have time for that! ”

Under the leadership of the chamberlain, Chu Ze and his party went straight to a private room on the third floor.

As soon as he pushed the door, he saw Hu Weiyong, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting in the private room with a smile.

"Uncle Hu said that he laughed, I'm just a small Jiupin master book, what can I do!"

"The little official of Sesame Mung Bean is just an inconspicuous small character."

"Uncle Hu is really good today. I've never been to this place! ”

After Chu Ze saw Hu Weiyong, he also smiled directly and greeted the other party directly.

As he stepped into the private room, the egret and the spring equinox that followed him also walked in.

When he first saw that Chu Ze was still with two maids, Hu Weiyong's brows wrinkled subconsciously.

It seems that the matter discussed today is not suitable for the presence of 'outsiders'.

"The virtuous nephew didn't forget to bring two flower-like beauties when he went out, it seems that the virtuous nephew is also a temperamental!"

"However, you also know that this man, the topic he talks about is inevitably a little vulgar, and you are not afraid of abrupt beauties with two beauties?"

Although Hu Weiyong's words seem to be bursting meat jokes.

But in fact, it is driving people away.

And since Chu Ze brought egrets and the spring equinox to come today, there is naturally no way for them to go.

This is my own talisman!

"Uncle Hu is too worried."

As Chu Ze spoke, he pulled the spring breeze standing next to him into his arms.

And took the hand of the egret and played with it carefully.

"Although these two girls and I are not one, we are also of the same heart! Knowing oneself in depth, why is it abrupt? ”

After Hu Weiyong saw Chu Ze's actions, his brows furrowed slightly.

Like him, Chu Ze also spoke dark words.

It's just that Chu Ze can trust these two women, but he Hu Weiyong is not necessarily.

And after Chu Ze saw Hu Weiyong's brows frowning slightly, he added another sentence.

"In life, it is inevitable to have romances. But well, if there are not so many confidants who can entrust their lives in the hands of each other, what is the meaning of a man living for a lifetime? ”

Hu Weiyong, who was still frowning slightly, also smiled slightly after hearing Chu Ze's words.

The brow gradually relaxed.

Chu Ze was able to bring these two women here, which means that yes, he can indeed trust them.

After all, Chu Ze accepted Hu Weiyong's money and bribes.

This is a fatal thing, and this kind of thing, Chu Ze can let these two women participate together.

That really shows that the other party shouldn't have a problem.

Otherwise, how could Chu Ze, such a sleek person, entrust his life to someone who cannot be trusted?

"Since the virtuous nephew has said so, then I, as an uncle, will not talk nonsense. Otherwise, it would seem that I am stingy as an uncle. ”

"But the two of them are confidantes of the virtuous nephew, and this is the first time they meet, and I have to give some meeting gifts as an uncle! Otherwise, isn't it a loss of face? ”

"Come on."

While Hu Weiyong was talking, the two servants walked up respectfully with two wooden boxes.

Then, he carefully placed it on the table in front of Chu Ze.

"A little bit of courtesy, I hope you don't dislike it."

After hearing his words, Chu Ze just smiled slightly.

And the two daughters of Egret and Spring Equinox were a little overwhelmed at this time, they were just eyeliners arranged by Chu Ze's side, and they were also servants who took care of Chu Ze's daily life

Even when necessary, it is Chu Ze's maid.

With this kind of identity, when will it be someone's turn to give them gifts!

Looking at the delicate wooden box in front of them, the egret and the spring equinox looked at Chu Ze in a little confusion for a while.

"Don't thank you Uncle Hu?"

"Thank you, Uncle Hu,"

"Thank you, Uncle Hu!"

Although the second daughter said that she had never seen anything in the world, and she didn't know what to do at this time, since Chu Ze had spoken, they just took advantage of the situation.

After letting go of the two girls and letting them bow slightly to Hu Weiyong, Chu Ze reached out and patted their backs, and let them stand behind him.

"Uncle Hu.. This series of gifts, your nephew is weird in his heart. I'm a little embarrassed to say this. ”

Although Chu Ze said that he was embarrassed, his hands were extremely honest.

While smiling, he reached out and opened the wooden box in front of him.

This small wooden box is obviously a jewelry box or something.

After the wooden box was opened, Chu Ze took out a flawless jade bracelet from it, and played with it casually.

He unceremoniously grabbed the egret's hand and brought it for her personally.

And Hu Weiyong, who was sitting opposite him, watched all this with a smile all the way.

He didn't feel any dissatisfaction with Chu Ze's excitement.

"What did the virtuous nephew say, you and my uncle and nephew were familiar at first sight, so why should you care about these worldly opinions?"

"But I've heard that there seems to be something going on in the hands of the virtuous nephew lately? I heard that the virtuous nephew received the prince's order to create a school among the people? ”

"I don't know if you have eyebrows about the virtuous nephew? Is there anything you need your uncle's help with? If there is, even if the virtuous nephew speaks, I am still a little thin in this court, and I can also do something convenient for the virtuous nephew when necessary! ”

After hearing Hu Weiyong's sudden words, Chu Ze's hand that was originally carrying a gold bracelet for the spring equinox paused slightly.

Then, he turned his head to look at Hu Weiyong, who was sitting opposite, with his eyes narrowed slightly.

After thinking about it for a while, the smile on his face gradually fell silent.

"Don't hide it from Uncle Hu, I did take over the task arranged by the prince, originally according to the prince's intention, it was for me to preside over the creation of a school, teach and educate people for our Daming, and cast a group of useful people in the future!"

"But who knows, before I started this mission, I was hacked."

"The original intention of my school was to recruit and teach the children of the downtrodden in the name of the imperial court, so that they could not only gain fame for the imperial court, but also gain talents for the imperial court."

"It should be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, but because of some people who are not long-sighted, they actually made a hindrance from it, and my school was not established, so it ruined the reputation of the school."

"It's not. I only found out about this yesterday. ”

After Hu Weiyong listened to Chu Ze's words, he couldn't help but nodded.

It's just that he nodded but didn't think that what Chu Ze said was right, but secretly said that he really didn't guess wrong.

What is to gain talents and fame for the imperial court, these words are just one-sided words in Hu Weiyong's view.

This is just the promotion path that the prince prepared for Chu Ze.

And looking at Chu Ze's bitter and hateful appearance at this time, most of them were also blackmailed because of this matter, and he was angry.

"Virtuous nephew, I won't tell you anything, I'm here for this today... The name of the person investigated by the household department is Zhu Yong. I'm ashamed to say that this person has a lot of connections with me. ”

"He is Zhu Liangzu's distant nephew, and at the same time, he is ashamed, he is also a person of my lineage... This time, it was a complete misunderstanding. ”

"Zhu Yong is just a ghost for a while, so he did such a foolish thing. But don't worry, he has no intention of going against you, and this matter is definitely a misunderstanding. ”

"So what he did on this trip is somewhat unforgivable, but you can give Uncle Hu a face, and take a look at it."

ZHU Liangzu.

When Chu Ze heard Hu Weiyong say this name, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

Yongjiahou, Zhu Liangzu!

For this person, Chu Ze was most impressed not by his great achievements.

It's the way he died.

When Zhu Liangzu was guarding Guangdong, he colluded with the local tyrants to make Zhu Yuanzhang unjustly kill Lingdaotong in Panyu County, and after Zhu Yuanzhang noticed this, he directly summoned Zhu Liangzu and his eldest son Zhu Xian to Yingtianfu and whipped them to death on the main hall.

And if Chu Ze is not mistaken, the time seems to be next year.

The way this Yongjiahou died was extremely rare.

Whipped to death.

It's much more exciting than cutting off your head or poisoning alcohol.

At this time, Hu Weiyong suddenly mentioned Zhu Liangzu, undoubtedly wanting to put pressure on Chu Ze, but also to test his attitude from the side.

"Virtuous nephew. Career promotion, this is naturally the top priority. But this officialdom is like a river and lake, and the people who are officials are like carp crossing the river, and there are countless people. ”

"Being alone, in this undercurrent of the court, it is difficult to gain a foothold after all."

"Multiple friends are definitely more beneficial than multiple enemies."

"Zhu Yong's matter, uncle knows that you have a good relationship with all the princes, and now it is the King of Qin who is in charge of this matter, and the uncle is not embarrassed by the virtuous nephew, you just need to let the King of Qin put this person in prison."

"For the rest, my uncle will naturally help you deal with it, what do you think?"

After Hu Weiyong noticed that Chu Ze was silent, he thought that he was slightly moved, so he hurriedly continued to persuade.

Once the net of interests is caught, many things, no matter how small, must be cautious.

The top priority now is to get Zhu Yong out of prison, as long as Hu Weiyong and they can contact each other.

Whether it is to extinguish the mouth or to rescue, these are all later words.

"Hey Uncle Hu, it's not that I don't want to help with this matter, if I had known that this matter was just a misunderstanding, I naturally wouldn't have asked King Qin to deal with it with such fanfare."

"But now that King Qin has intervened, if I want him to let go at this time, how easy it is to say this!"

As the saying goes, it's easier to please God than to send God. How is this possible for me to talk so much! ”

After Chu Ze heard Hu Weiyong's words, he also knew that the main event was coming.

Money!

It's another lot of money to be credited to.

And when Hu Weiyong heard Chu Ze's words of asking for money, he was also slightly relieved.

At the same time, Chu Ze became more and more contemptuous in his heart.

Originally, he thought that this Chu Ze could have some skills and some integrity.

Who would have thought that he was also a mercenary and insatiable person.

But that's fine, he won't be bothered.

As long as money can solve the problem, in Hu Weiyong's view, it is not a problem.

"Naturally, the virtuous nephew doesn't need to bother about this matter, and you have been implicated in this matter for no reason, so I will let someone send two generous gifts later. Let's send it to the nephew's courtyard. ”

"After that, how about a hard trip to the virtuous nephew, hurry up and check King Qin's side, so that His Royal Highness King Qin can go down to make it convenient?"

"Hey, Uncle Hu, I can only do my best, after all, the other party is the King of Qin, and I don't have too much certainty."

"Hey, the virtuous nephew can help with this. Uncle Hu, I am already very happy and grateful. It is said that it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen! There is no need to be under pressure, if you can't do it, Uncle Hu won't blame you. After all, there are extenuating circumstances! ”

"Okay, with Uncle Hu's words, then I'll be relieved! That Uncle Hu, but I don't think it's too late, if it doesn't work, I'll get up and go for a walk. It's been delayed for a long time, lest it change! ”

"Okay, good, there is Lao Xian's nephew, don't worry, I'll let people send things to your other courtyard, and the virtuous nephew will let people pick them up directly!"

"Thank you Uncle Hu, the little nephew will retire first!"

"Okay, go slowly, and my uncle won't send you. Inconvenience. ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

After the desired result has been achieved, Chu Ze naturally doesn't want to continue to force him.

Especially when he heard that Hu Weiyong himself said that it didn't matter if the things he explained couldn't be completed, Chu Ze was naturally even more happy.

Now, he can collect money and do nothing with peace of mind.

And when Chu Ze was leaving, he didn't forget to explain the egret and the spring equinox, and took away the greeting gifts from the people on the table.

That's all money!

Someone stupidly kept sending money, and Chu Ze was naturally happy.

When Chu Ze left Lingyun Pavilion with his second daughter and got back into the carriage.

looked at the wooden boxes they were holding in each other's hands, as well as the bracelets that Chu Ze personally brought to them.

The second daughter's eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment.

Aren't they taking bribes?

"Master"

The spring equinox was the first to react, and she hurriedly handed the wooden box in her hand to Chu Ze.

At the same time, I don't forget to take off the gold bracelet on my hand.

These things are not for them to get their hands on.

The egret then reacted, and cautiously wanted to take off the bracelet on his hand.

Although they also like these expensive jewelry.

"Since I brought it to you, you can keep it for yourselves."

"Just think I'm bribing you, and if you can't report anything like who I'm sleeping and holding in the future, don't report it."

"Take the rest of the jewelry, take it back and divide it yourself. I'm not bad at that. ”
