When Lao Zhu entered, the palace people guarding outside were a little surprised and came over to salute.

Because Lao Zhu hasn't been here for many years.

Lao Zhu waved his hand: "Don't make a noise, let's take a look at Concubine Hu Shun and leave." ”

Concubine Hu Shun had already woken up, leaning on the head of the bed blankly, lonely and lonely like a shadow.

Zhu Tang hugged her arm, as if as soon as she let go, Concubine Hu Shun would be gone.

In Lao Zhu's eyes, women other than Queen Ma are all bargaining chips, tools for childbirth and venting.

Hu Shunfei is the same.

But at this moment, when he saw Concubine Hu Shun like this, a lot of pity welled up in his heart: "Yiran, don't worry too much." ”

He originally wanted to comfort Concubine Hu Shun, but he couldn't go on here.

Zhu Tang hurriedly jumped down and hugged Lao Zhu's legs.

Concubine Hu Shun looked at Lao Zhu, her godless eyes were focused, and she got up and kowtowed to Lao Zhu desperately on the bed: "Your Majesty, please save King Xiang." That kid is weak, and it's not easy to grow so big. The concubine was afraid of him......"

Lao Zhu's sorrow and anxiety were aroused, and he stepped forward to hold her in his arms and patted her gently, and said in a trembling voice: "You don't want to be like this, the rebel will come back." Although he is naughty, he is a very filial child, and he is not willing to leave us like this. ”

Concubine Hu Shun whimpered and nodded.

Zhu Tang climbed into bed again and hugged Concubine Hu Shun: "Mother, don't scare Tanger." You're going to be good. When your brother comes back, Tachibana spanks him for you. ”

Concubine Hu Shun hugged Zhu Tang again, and the two cried together.

In the evening, as usual, it was time for Lao Zhu and Queen Ma to accompany the underage prince to dinner.

Zhu Tan asked Lao Zhu: "Father." I heard that the twelfth brother is missing. ”

Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Queen Ma.

Looking at by the dark eyes of all the children, Lao Zhu said with difficulty: "It's not that he's missing, it's that we sent him to do something." ”

Zhu Chun said: "But the nurse told her son that the twelfth brother was missing. ”

The thirteenth Zhu Gui asked in a low voice: "Will the twelfth brother die?" ”

Lao Zhu was poked in the heart, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he forced himself to say, "No." ”

The old fourteenth Zhu Ao pursed his mouth: "I miss the twelfth brother." ”

Zhu Biao sighed lightly: "We miss him too." Be good and eat well. He'll be back. ”

The children bowed their heads and sobbed as they ate.

Lao Zhu became more and more heartbroken.

-----

Hu Weiyong's plan to seize the Terracotta Division was unsuccessful, and he decided to start from the outside.

He first sent people to lobby the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division.

Hu Weiyong's conditions are very tempting, as long as the people of the Salt Transportation Division are willing to cooperate, at least he will be a household secretary in the future.

The people of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division were coerced and lured, and they wanted to defect.

But the problem is that it is useless for them to defect, because the salt field has long been guarded by Zhu Bai's people.

Without the seal and approval of the General Administration of Official Teeth, the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division could not raise the salt.

If the salt is not used according to the approval, the official tooth bureau will know about it immediately, and then it will be held accountable and reported to Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.

Therefore, the two Huai Salt Transportation Divisions did not dare to move no matter how excited they were.

It's a monolith, and there's no way to start.

The official granary and the military granary are much the same, since they were rectified by Zhu Bai last time, they are basically under the control of the official tooth bureau.

Hu Weiyong gritted his teeth secretly, and said that he could only seize the official tooth bureau first.

He suddenly had a strange feeling, Zhu Bai seemed to have predicted his actions, and fortified early to ensure that he could not roll over the big waves, so he could go to the northwest with peace of mind.

If that's the case, Zhu Bai is too terrible.

If that's the case, you can't keep Zhu Bai.

When the local government officials learned that Zhu Bai was missing, they were all secretly happy.

The business in Zhu Bai's hands is all fat.

If you don't grab it now, when will you wait?

Some government officials received Hu Weiyong's action guidance and began to act.

Zhu Liangzu has been in Guangzhou for so long, and he can't hold it anymore.

He called for Wang Litong to be called.

Wang Litong was neither humble nor arrogant: "When did the adults find the villains?" ”

Zhu Liangzu said: "You know that King Xiang is missing. ”

Wang Litong received the news from the Guanya Bureau yesterday, and he has been sad and anxious all night.

He didn't know what Zhu Liangzu meant when he suddenly came to him to say this, so he stood silent and didn't say anything.

Zhu Liangzu said: "As soon as the king of Xiang disappeared, the official tooth bureau had no leader. ”

Wang Litong said: "My lord's words are wrong. How could the official tooth bureau have no leader, isn't there still the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Zhu Liangzu said: "Where can the emperor manage so much. Prince, hehe......"

Zhu Biao is not incapable, what is lacking is Zhu Bai's exquisite and treacherous flexibility.

Zhu Liangzu touched his chin, and then said: "This official tooth bureau is a business that sits and collects money, and you work hard every day as a tooth chief, but most of the profits are handed over to the imperial court and the general bureau, and the officials are all complaining for you." ”

Wang Litong arched his hand: "Thank you, sir, in fact, you don't have to." If it weren't for the support of King Xiang and the imperial court, the official tooth bureau would not be able to do it. ”

Is it because the official tooth bureau has set up points in various places, and merchants will come to trade?

Yes, but not exactly.

The most important thing is the credibility of the official tooth bureau and the inn and transportation network all over the country.

The longer he has been an official, the more he understands this.

Both transportation and inn operations require money to sustain themselves.

Zhu Liangzu said: "Otherwise, let's cooperate with the two of us to open another tooth shop." You do the business of the official tooth bureau, and neither side will be left behind. ”

Wang Litong secretly laughed: This method, someone has already used it, and the end is very miserable, and he is still working as a coolie in the arsenal at this time.

There is really no shortage of stupid people in this world, and when they see others suffering, they always feel that they have to be smarter, they will not be caught, and they seek wealth in danger.

He shook his head: "The villain can't do it." The villain doesn't have that ability. ”

Zhu Liangzu didn't expect that a little official head of the bureau would dare to refuse him, his face turned red, and he sneered: "This official advises you to think about it." ”

Wang Litong pursed his lips and was silent.

Zhu Liangzu said viciously: "You don't want to toast, don't eat, eat and drink." Now that the backer is gone, your father-in-law's mountains and rivers can't save you. ”

Wang Litong arched his hand: "Please let the adults and villains think about how to get the best of both worlds." ”

"Well, that's right. Those who know the times are Junjie. Zhu Liangzu's expression slowed down, "It's to think about how to operate." I'll give you a few days. ”

After Wang Litong returned, he sank like a stone into the sea, and there was no news.

Zhu Liangzu realized that he had been fooled, and Wang Litong was just to get out that day and pretend to answer him.

He was so angry that he took Guangzhou Wei straight to the Guanya Bureau and surrounded the Guanya Bureau.

The guards of the Official's Tooth Bureau were nervous.

The leader of the guards stood up and bowed his hand to Zhu Liangzu: "Lord Zhu, what are you doing?" ”

Zhu Liangzu said: "Hand over Wang Litong." I don't want to embarrass others. ”

The leader said: "Lord Zhu, my subordinates were sent by Tianwei to protect Lord Wang and the Guanya Bureau. The duty is in the body, and when you start to do it, you hope that the adults will atone for your sins. ”

This is a naked warning, warning Zhu Liangzu not to do it casually.
