Chapter 217: Let's Get Started!
"Has there been any recent change in the caravans going to the Wa Kingdom? Did you find anything out of the ordinary? ”
"Master, you came just in time, I was just about to tell you about it!"
"After our caravan made its second trip to the Wa Kingdom, news came from there. It is said that a large-scale outbreak of smallpox plague suddenly began on the side of the Japanese country. Many of the people in our caravan have unfortunately contracted smallpox."
"Smallpox!"
After Hu Weiyong hurried back to the house, he immediately found the housekeeper in charge of the caravan.
Originally, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that his mentor was dizzy and looked away.
However, when I asked this question, I really asked that something was wrong.
"Strange thing, everything was normal when our first caravan went. As a result, it was only about half a month ago, and smallpox broke out on the side of the Japanese country."
"There's a problem here, there's definitely a problem."
After Hu Weiyong asked the housekeeper to step down, he sat on his soft couch a little decadently for a while.
There is no lack of hollowness in his eyes looking ahead.
"The envoy of my Ming Dynasty was beheaded by the Japanese State, and it stands to reason that with Your Majesty's temper, after Your Majesty knows about this, you must be angry."
"But after such a long time, His Majesty has not said a word about this matter."
"After that, Chu Ze guided me to do business with the Wa Kingdom, and also secretly guided me, which made me think of using commerce to establish influence in the Wa Kingdom itself. My thought at the time was that if there was a mistake in Daming in the future, then at least I could escape to the Wa Kingdom."
"As a result, my caravan began to move on the front foot, and smallpox broke out on the back foot. And at the same time, Chu Ze was also responsible for receiving the envoys of the Wa Kingdom."
"In addition to the recent period of time, the movement of grain, grass and soldiers and horses"
After he really eased up, Hu Weiyong's mind quickly flashed all the things that had happened recently.
After connecting these things one by one, Hu Weiyong's eyes gradually became bloodshot.
Because, he found that he seemed to be being tricked.
And he was played around from beginning to end, but he didn't notice it at all.
"Your Majesty wants to use troops against the Wa Kingdom, Chu Ze should have known about this matter from the beginning, and this guy deliberately guided me to do business with the Wa Kingdom."
"Insidious, so insidious!"
"As soon as the war broke out between the two countries. Chu Ze suddenly poked this matter out at such a time! And because he was only secretly leading the way, he didn't have any substantive involvement. ”
"At that time, I will be the only one who secretly trades with the Japanese Kingdom."
"And those goods of mine, it's all this guy's hands and feet, and when the plague breaks out in the Wa country, he can take advantage of the situation to push it on me."
"If I trade with an enemy country in wartime, it will be treason!"
"Good! This is trying to put me to death, you damn hypocrite! ”
At this time, Hu Weiyong's heart was actually still a little lucky about his teacher's speculation.
In his opinion, the reason why Chu Ze dared to accept the benefits he gave so blatantly.
It could never have been ordered by His Majesty.
In Hu Weiyong's opinion, the reason why Chu Ze dared to be so unscrupulous was entirely because he had the support of the prince behind him.
And Hu Weiyong also found a problem.
After Chu Ze received his money, he never accomplished anything from beginning to end.
This guy has been looking for excuses to prevaricate him.
And the money he gave him was used to build a school and a hospital.
If it really settles out.
Although he accepted bribes, he could completely excuse himself as collecting evidence of his own crimes.
And the mansion can be handed over afterwards, and then cooperate with his previous deeds of using all the ill-gotten money on the people.
On the contrary, he also established a reputation for not being greedy for money.
As for the women.
Chu Ze has been collecting foreign women from beginning to end, and people from foreign countries can also be regarded as people?
If it is calculated in this way, Chu Ze will definitely not bear too much responsibility.
On the contrary, if he really pulls himself into the water smoothly.
The merits and demerits are offset, and there is the prince behind him to support him and intercede.
Then this guy will never be punished.
So, so it is calculated.
Chu Ze's matter of collecting his own benefits will definitely not be instructed by His Majesty.
If His Majesty has the heart to take him down, he still needs to use so many means?
A holy decree, plus a team of brocade guards.
can make him Hu Weiyong never turn over!
"Okay, you Chu Ze, you have always been commensurate with my uncle and nephew, I didn't expect my mind to be so deep, if I hadn't noticed it in advance today, I'm afraid I would have really gotten your way!"
"You want to pull me off the horse and step on my head to get into this prime minister's position, right? All right. Then we'll see! Let's see who has the last laugh."
"Sir, you're back."
"Son-in-law, you're here just in time. Have a bite to eat together? ”
When Chu Ze returned home, it was already dark at night.
As soon as he walked into his front yard, he saw a small fire rising in the front yard.
The people in the house were busy working, and on the edge of the fire, Lan Yu and others were surrounding the fire, holding strings of barbecue in their hands to eat Zhenghuan.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Chu Ze's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
"Uncle Lan, don't you have an order? How is this done? ”
"It's time to prepare early in the morning, that is, to go through the motions. Come on, sit down and have a drink? ”
"Forget it, I don't like to drink."
Chu Ze and Lan Yu said as they came to Lan Ruoyan and sat down.
After reaching out and tidying up the little girl's somewhat messy hair a little, he couldn't help but look at Xu Da, who was sitting alone on the side.
Everyone present ate happily.
But Xu Da was the only one whose face was full of sadness at this time.
"Chu Ze, drinking hurts your body, come on, let's just drink tea. Eating these barbecues on such a hot day makes me feel greasy just by looking at them. Come, come and drink porridge with me! ”
The injuries behind Xu Da are now preliminarily stabilized.
Because there was no shortage of various supplements, his injuries recovered very quickly.
As it stands, the likelihood of infection is slim to none.
However, even now, through surgery, his carbuncle has been greatly improved.
But the reminder of those healers is still to avoid fishy, alcohol, and spicy.
If you want to live a few more years, you'd better keep your mouth shut!
"Xu Shuai, I'm sorry. Although the barbecue looks greasy, but. I'm still going to eat it! ”
Chu Ze looked at Xu Da, who was full of depression, and after making a joke without being salty, he finally reached out and took the beef skewers that Lan Ruoyan handed him.
"Hehe, you guys are really enough! My cow died, and I couldn't eat a piece of it for a long time."
"You guys are really black-hearted!"
Xu Da looked at Chu Ze, who took the beef skewers, and while complaining, he took a vicious sip of the gruel in his hand.
Although this porridge is made with the essence of pigeon soup, bird's nest, ginseng and other substances.
But it's tasteless!
"Chu Ze, the time for the expedition has basically been set, and I am afraid that the next step is to gradually enter a state of full preparation."
"In the alternating season of autumn and winter, the army will go straight away."
"When the time comes, we're going to go out together."
After Chu Ze and Xu Da joked, Zhu Di also came to Chu Ze's side.
And after Chu Ze heard his words, he didn't say anything, and after a slight hesitation, he finally picked up the wine glass on the side.
Then, he touched Zhu Di lightly, and then raised his glass slightly with Lan Yu, Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Fan on the side.
"To be honest, I really don't like to drink, but today I should make an exception and triumph for you! Cheers! ”
"Haha, good, good, this face is good! Cheers! ”
"It's done!"
"Come on, I wish you all a victory!"
"Father-in-law, although I want you to drink too, your body matters. So, if you drink it, I'll tell Miaoyun when I go back! ”
"Uh, you bastard! Take care of me, if you don't drink it, you won't drink it, it's rare! I replace wine with tea! ”
", for triumph!"
After a glass of wine, Chu Ze didn't feel anything for a while except that his throat and eyes were hot.
But when I gasped, my throat and eyes were quite cool.
And Lan Ruoyan on the side just wanted to put it down after taking the wine glass that Chu Ze handed her.
Her father secretly filled the glass again.
Then he used his eyes to stop Lan Ruoyan, who was about to speak.
"King Qin, if you are here, I will save you from having to find someone to inform you, you can do it there, remember, as quickly as possible, take down the target at the same time, and control the impact to the minimum."
"The immediate family members must all be taken down as soon as possible, and those within the family property must also be investigated and dealt with one by one, which will be both evidence of the crime and the financial revenue of the state treasury in the future."
"I may have to work hard for you today, so let's go directly."
After putting down the wine glass in his hand, Chu Ze looked at Zhu Fan who was frantically skewering, and he said this to Zhu Fan with a slight smile.
And Zhu Rong, who heard Chu Ze's words, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and stuffed the skewers in his hand to his younger brother on the side.
"I'm ready to do it! Hehe, then you eat first, I have something to do, I'll go first."
After Zhu Fan finished speaking, he directly wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then carried the saber on the side, and ran out in a hurry.
Looking at Zhu Zhang's back, Xu Da and Lan Yu, who were still smiling in the courtyard, couldn't help but stop their movements for a while.
Zhu Fan and Chu Ze naturally heard what they said just now.
And what they want to do, the two of them are naturally very clear in their hearts.
However, even if you know that the other party is at fault.
But they are all people who have come from that era together, and when they see this scene now, they inevitably have a feeling of sadness in their hearts.
"Xu Shuai, Uncle Lan is different!"
"A mistake is a mistake, and there will be a price to pay for after all."
