Zhu Ming went back after eating the banquet, and happened to meet Zhu Guoxiang and sent the eunuch out of the door.

"What is the emperor going to do?" Zhu Ming asked.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Let the eunuch send a singer over." Didn't I say a few days ago that I wanted to go home and reunite with my wife and daughter? I guess the emperor thought I wanted a woman. ”

The father and son walked in together, and a young girl stood under the porch, bent down and said: "Xianggong Wanfu, Langjun Wanfu, An Niang is polite." ”

"An Niang?" Zhu Ming became a little interested and asked, "Where did you sing before?" ”

An Niang replied: "In the workshop." ”

Zhu Ming asked again: "What are you singing?" ”

"Sing." An Niang said.

After some investigation, Zhu Guoxiang called Liang Yi and arranged for the girl to live in a side room.

There were only father and son left in the courtyard, and Zhu Guoxiang was curious: "Do you know?" ”

Zhu Ming said: "This An Niang is a star in "Tokyo Menghualu", and she may not be very famous at present. She mainly focuses on singing, singing more slang songs, and her main audience is the common people. Master Li focuses on small singing, the content form is more elegant, and the fans are all readers. ”

Zhu Guoxiang smiled: "It's still a future star." ”

"That faint gentleman is quite considerate," Zhu Ming teased, "Most of the time he instructed the eunuch to go to the sect to select beautiful women, the kind that must be talented and beautiful, and carefully select and send you one." Dean Zhu, let's enjoy the gentle countryside slowly. ”

Zhu Guoxiang didn't answer, he really missed Daming Village.

Not only does I miss my wife and daughter, but I also worry about the villagers there.

After leaving for a long time, I don't know how the village has developed.

No matter how much the emperor rewarded, Zhu Guoxiang thought it was false, and only regarded Daming Village as his own industry. There are cylinder cars, irrigation canals, weir ponds, tea mountains, workshops, inns, docks...... all contain Zhu Guoxiang's hard work, just like the children raised by himself.

"Xianggong, Lang Jun, Qian Dalang, Hou Sanlang visit!"

"Ask him to come in."

Qian Chen and Hou Xuan have been here many times, and they are familiar with the servants of the Zhu family.

They also brought a young man, Han Zhao, the second son of Han Jiayan (Han Yan's second uncle).

After everyone greeted Zhu Guoxiang, Qian Chen hooked up with Zhu Ming: "You were very busy a few months ago, but you didn't have time to play with us, and you will definitely go to Master Li's house today." ”

"Would she open the door?" Zhu Ming asked.

Hou Xuan said: "Master Li admires Da Lang very much, I heard that we are familiar with Da Lang, and he has taken the initiative to invite him many times. ”

Zhu Ming said: "Then I'll call my friends to come and go together." ”

Zheng Fatzi was going back to Yangzhou in a few days, and when he heard that he could see Master Li, he was immediately red-faced, and he couldn't wait to set off.

Zhu Ming sent Bai Sheng to inform Min Zishun and Bai Chongyan on horseback, and took the opportunity to take his friends to see the world.

While waiting, Hou Xuan whispered: "Da Lang went to Puzhou, but he can clean up the Li family!" ”

"The Li family?" Zhu Ming didn't understand.

Hou Xuan said: "The Li family of Puzhou is the first family in Puzhou, the descendant of Prime Minister Li Di. The Li family has been a eunuch for generations, upright for the people, and everyone is upright. But in this generation, Li Xiaoshou and Li Xiaoshou are brothers, and they are all dependent on Cai Jing and promoted. ”

"Especially that Li Xiaoshou, known as 'King Li Yan' in Tokyo, brutalized many people when he was the governor of Kaifeng Mansion."

Li Xiao said that he also arbitrarily judged the case in Dali Temple, and either tortured him into a confession, or accepted bribes to exonerate himself. What case, in his hands are sentenced very quickly, many times said that Dali Temple is empty, because of the merit moved to the household servant. ”

These two brothers have both been Dali Siqing, and their judgment methods are the same, and they emptied the prison in three or two strokes and asked for a reward.

When Li Xiaoshou was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, a Xu official who stole treasury silver escaped from prison. This guy didn't bother to interrogate, so he arrested all the jailers, punished them to death, and assigned forty people, several of whom died before they could leave Beijing. Even Song Huizong couldn't stand it, and after hearing about it, he ordered the release of the survivors.

Zhu Ming continued to inquire about the situation, and Qian Chen and Han Zhao also told stories with nonsense.

The Li brothers have sentenced too many unjust cases, and various stories are well-known in Tokyo, and they belong to Cai Jing's most ferocious minions in the past few years.

Zhu Ming smiled silently, and had already decided to take the Li family under the knife.

The Li brothers are so arrogant in Tokyo, and their brothers and nephews don't fly to the sky in their hometown of Puzhou?

Just right for Liwei!

When Bai Chongyan and Min Zishun came, everyone went out together.

The place where Master Li lives is called "Master Li's house".

This is a way to choose a name, such as "Granny Cao's house" that sells meat patties, "Ugly Granny's house" who runs a pharmacy, and there are many similar names in Tokyo.

Master Li is not yet independent, and she has a mother (bustard). The owner of the house is the old bustard, and since she became popular, she has let people hang the sign of "Master Li's house".

The house is not big, a small two-story building.

Master Li is not in the building, but lives in the backyard.

Ordinary guests are looking for joy in the small building. You have to spend money to a certain extent, or you are a high-ranking official, and after many pursuits, you can drink and chat with Master Li.

Zhu Ming and the others came here, drank a few drinks in the lobby, and were finally taken to the backyard to see Master Li.

A young man followed, saw them enter the backyard, and immediately said angrily: "Tell me that the master has a distinguished guest tonight, these are the birdmen?" ”

Turtle Gong hurriedly explained: "Little grandfather, they have decided in advance. ”

This guy seemed to be a little drunk, sped up his pace and rushed forward, grabbing the corner of Hou Xuan's personal clothes: "Stop, I came first tonight!" ”

Zhu Ming turned around a little speechlessly, wanting not to be so bloody.

I just came to see what Master Li was like, do you still want to be jealous with others?

Qian Chen obviously knew this person, and scolded angrily: "Cao Yu, don't you play drunk and crazy anymore, when I'm afraid of you, can't you?" Your mother is the eldest emperor, isn't my mother? “

Another person chased after him with his relatives, pulled Cao Yu and said, "Fourth brother, forget it, they have set it, let's come back tomorrow." ”

Cao Yu pushed his brother away, staggered and said, "No! I have come every day for half a month, but I am not allowed to enter the backyard, I must look down on me! ”

Qian Chen sneered: "You make trouble as soon as you drink, who wants to deal with you?" The teacher has long been tired of you. ”

Zhu Ming asked in a low voice, "What is the origin of these two people?" ”

Han Zhao said: "They are all descendants of the founding general Cao Bin, the name of the person who drinks and makes trouble is Cao Yu, and his mother is the princess of Lu State." The person who persuaded him was called Cao Huai, and his mother was the lord of Shouguang County. Cao Yu is usually quite regular, but unfortunately the wine is too bad, and a few glasses of rice wine will be spilled in his stomach. ”

There was a commotion here, and the brothel boss Li's mother rushed over when she heard the news, pulled Cao Yu and said with a smile: "Ouch, little grandfather, Qiaonu is waiting for you to eat and drink." ”

Cao Yu pushed Mother Li away and scolded angrily: "You pickled mother-in-law, you are used to fooling me." Hurry up and call Master Li out, I don't want any clever slaves! ”

Mother Li looked depressed, so she simply stopped blocking it and let this thing make a fuss.

This kind of thing, Zhu Ming is a layman, and humbly asks for advice: "How to deal with it generally?" ”

Hou Xuan said: "Let their imperial relatives make trouble, and we don't have to get involved." It's just a fight, there are relatives left and right, and they can still turn their faces for a little singing? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Ming smiled and watched the excitement, so he didn't bother to conflict with the Cao family.

While the two were talking, Han Zhao suddenly kicked and kicked the drunken Cao Yu to the ground.

They are all the sons of princesses, who is afraid of whom?

Cao Huai was originally dissuading, but when he saw that his brother was beaten, he immediately helped fight back, and Qian Chen also rolled up his sleeves and started working.

The entourage on both sides did not dare to make a move, and when they saw that the fight was almost over, they each stepped forward and pulled away.

The sons of the three princesses and the son of a county lord are all dead in Zhu Ming's eyes, and it is their luck that Tokyo Chengpo can survive.

Is it necessary to deal with the dead?

"Are you sober?" Qian Chen asked.

Cao Yu was already blue and swollen, and was blown by the cold wind at night, nodded and said, "Wake up, I want to go in too." ”

Qian Chen said: "It's okay to go in, don't eat again!" ”

"I'm drinking tea." Cao Yu said.

When it comes to the families of the powerful, the Cao family can rank first in the Northern Song Dynasty, and more than one person in each generation has married the royal family.

But the main sect has been abolished, and it is all wine bags and rice bags. On the contrary, there are several small branches of Cao's sons, who are currently holding important positions in the forbidden army.

Just like Hou Xuan said, you can't turn your face for the sake of a famous prostitute.

After the clan finished fighting, and when nothing happened, they hooked their shoulders and went to the inner courtyard to see Master Li. A few friends of the Cao brothers also rushed to hear the news and rushed in together.

The guests were seated, but the host had not yet appeared.

Only a few maids came out to pour wine for everyone.

Zheng Fatzi leaned over and whispered: "The pie is quite big, and he deserves to be a famous prostitute in the capital, so he let a few clans wait." ”

"The more this is the case, the more the children of the powerful will flock to it." Zhu Ming said with a smile.

Zheng Fatzi said: "It's the same as doing business, the goods are not sold, and the more people want to buy." ”

Hou Xuan also posted it and pointed to one person in the banquet: "That is the Li family of Puzhou, who usually runs errands for Cai Jing's son, but I didn't expect to be mixed with the Cao family again." ”

Bai Chongyan was a little cramped, and the people in the audience were either rich or expensive, so he looked too shabby.

Min Zishun muttered: "I have studied hard for 20 years, and I finally got into the Jinshi, but I can't compare to these gentlemen." ”

Bai Chongyan heard it clearly, and encouraged himself: "We must work hard, and in time, we will surpass them!" ”

"Yes, you can't be presumptuous!" Min Zishun gritted his teeth and said.

In fact, they know very well that unless the dynasty is changed, these gentlemen in front of them will inevitably be noble for generations, and no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to catch up.

"I've kept you waiting!"

Master Li dressed up and dressed up, only sat behind the curtain, and a slender figure was faintly visible.

The sound of the piano sounded, and the song floated softly.

Zhu Ming had to admit that Master Li's singing voice did sound more flavorful than Xu Poxi's.

Before I left Tokyo, I saw it.

He is purely out of appreciation, just like watching a star perform, and he only thinks about marrying a star home when his brain is broken.

Master Li sang Liu Yongci, a song, lifted the curtain and came out, Ying Ying bowed and said: "I have admired the name of Tanhualang for a long time, and I can finally see it with my own eyes today." ”

Zhu Ming arched his hand and said, "Each other." ”

Master Li lowered his eyebrows and asked, "If Tanhualang is happy today, can Master get a new song?" ”

Zhu Ming was noncommittal: "Let it be." ”
