"By the way, Mr. Smith, why are you so determined to die?”
"I didn't ask for death. I've been admiring the Qinhuai River every day. What can I do if you suddenly want to kill me?”
Zhu Di's movement of placing a piece paused, and his forehead was filled with black lines.
"I'm not saying that you're courting death!"
"What I'm asking is, why do you want to die?”
Ta!
The black chess piece in Su Bai's hand fell down and successfully killed the white dragon. The situation on the chessboard was clear.
"Isn't it the same thing to seek death and not want to live?”
"I didn't. Don't talk nonsense!”
"Watch your words. I'm waiting for death!”
Su Bai had suffered similar losses in his previous lives. Once he took the initiative to seek death, this game would be in vain.
It had to be rigorous!
Zhu Di was speechless.
Wait for death!
I'm really begging you. Can you struggle a little?
How could a normal person not have any thoughts of survival after suffering an undeserved disaster?
It was really ridiculous!
After complaining in his heart, Di suddenly widened his eyes when he was about to raise his hand to place his piece.
Hmm?
Where's my Dalong?
"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore!"
Zhu Di threw out his chess piece and admitted defeat. He stood up gloomily and stretched his muscles. He looked around and cursed.
"What time is it already? Can our wine and dishes be delivered?”
"You're like a dog. You can't do anything and you won't leave anything behind!”
Su Bai glanced at him and smiled:
"Stop pointing fingers at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree. Isn't it just winning a few jars of wine from you? Can't you afford to lose?”
"Mr. Smith, what are you saying? I can scold myself, but I can't scold you.”
Zhu Di gasped and hurriedly turned around to explain,
"Don't look down on the students now, but they can still afford to drink. Zhao Prison is our home!”
"But these dogs, I don't know what medicine they've taken these past two days. They're all like they've been injected with chicken blood.”
The work in Zhao Prison was very leisurely. In addition, there was usually a lot of money to be made. Not many people worked hard. Those who should play cards played cards, and those who should drink alcohol. However, these two days were extremely abnormal. They were not even active in running errands.
"Perhaps the day of execution is coming?”
Su Bai was deep in thought. He said with anticipation:
"Every time this happens, the Imperial Jail is the most lively. There are people causing trouble and fighting every day, and the jailers are busy for a while.”
Zhu Di nodded and did not think too much about it.
"That makes sense."
"Who cares? Do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with us anyway. If anyone dares to touch a strand of your hair, I'll crush their dog head!”
Zhu Di clenched his fists, and his joints cracked.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zhu Di suddenly felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly sat down opposite Su Bai and said blankly:
"If it wasn't Mr. Su, why do you know so much about the Imperial Prison?”
"It was before. When I first came, I didn't even have you, Qing 'er!”
"You can't come in often, right?”
Su Bai spread out his hands and smiled:
"If you think so."
At this moment, the jailer who was in charge of buying things and running errands returned with large and small bags.
He was so nervous that he looked around like a thief. He left the things behind and ran away without even asking for a reward.
"Humph!"
Zhu Di had a look of disdain on his face as he said disdainfully,
"Look at that cowardly face. He's so timid. Why did he come to Zhao Prison to work?”
Then, he bent down and picked up a jar of wine, smashed the clay seal on it and pushed it to Su Bai respectfully.
"Sir, please!"
Su Bai nodded slightly and took a sip to moisten his throat. He felt great:
"We've been delayed today. Let's talk as we eat.”
"Deal!"
Zhu Di was full of energy when he heard that.
He quickly set up the dishes and wine, then sat up straight and waited for Su Bai to start eating.
"We chatted yesterday. Regarding the issue of the prince's salary, how's the homework I gave you?”
Su Bai picked up a piece of spiced beef and put it into his mouth. It tasted pretty good.
"Uh, Mr. Su, the only solution I can think of is to completely remove the prince's salary.”
Zhu Di scratched his head in distress and said,
"The main thing is that what you said is too scary. Who can withstand the country's subjugation?”
"I really can't think of any other way. The safest way is to cut it all!”
Zhu Di was quite open-minded about not wanting his salary. After all, he did not have a wife or children, nor did he have his own residence. His living expenses were not high.
Big brother Zhu Biao would definitely be fine, but second brother Zhu Xi and third brother Zhu Xi would definitely not agree.
As for his younger brothers behind him…
It seemed to be too much!
Su Bai shook his head and laughed:
"You're too naive. A one-size-fits-all approach can indeed solve the problem, but do you think Old Zhu will agree?”
"If we let him raise his descendants, he won't be able to close his eyes until the day he dies!”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping next door, had an uneasy expression.
He was here!
They finally got to the point!
"That's true."
Zhu Di sipped his wine and agreed with Su Bai.
Although the old man was beating and scolding them, he was really good to his sons.
"Then what should we do?"
"Wouldn't that be a dead chess piece?”
Su Bai waved his chopsticks left and right.
"Don't worry, you won't die. You can still be saved.”
"You still haven't thought about it seriously. You haven't discovered the underlying logic.”
Su Bai patiently explained the solution:
"Since I've said that lowering the prince's salary is only a temporary solution, you should focus on the future.”
"Future?"
"Yes, the future."
Facing Zhu Di's doubt, Su Bai smiled:
"In the near future, Great Ming will be completely dragged down by the support of the Imperial Clan!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang, who was next door, heard this, he almost burst out laughing.
"Boss, did you hear that?"
"That's what Liu Bowen said last night!”
Zhu Biao smiled.
"What Mister Su said is different from what Mister Liu said.”
"Even the words he said are exactly the same. Mr. Liu's judgment is very accurate.”
Zhu Yuanzhang left the wall and sat down behind him. He said in a relaxed manner,
"What Dragon Slaying Art? What Heaven Changing Earth? I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. That old brat Liu Ji, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't play tricks for a day!”
"The solution is the same. Isn't it the same?”
"In my opinion, Su Bai is not much better than Liu Ji due to his limited experience, vision, and age. It's just that Liu Ji is too stubborn, hiding his true self all day long and can't tell the truth!”
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Biao's shoulder and laughed, not forgetting to flatter himself.
"The future is the world of you young people. Now, it's up to us old fellows!”
Before Rui Ping could finish laughing, Su Bai next door said something that made him unable to laugh anymore.
