Zhu Cian looked like he regretted not meeting her earlier and quickly smiled.""Okay, okay, I love making friends…but…may I ask your name?”
"I am Xu Zengshou!"
"What? Xu Da's son, Xu Zengshou?"
"Yes!"
Zhu Ci 'an was shocked!
F * ck!
This fellow who wanted to be sworn brothers with him…
Was it the future Duke Dingguo? Duke Dingguo Xu Zengshou!
After the King of Yan, Zhu Di, raised his army in Jingnan, he was the first person to be conferred the title of meritorious minister!
In the Ming Dynasty, only the Xu family, a family of two dukes, was honored and favored for generations!
It could be said that he was the second most powerful person after Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Cian came to his senses, and he couldn't help but smile.""Ah, it's actually in front of the young duke. I'm sorry for my disrespect!”
"No wonder when I saw you, it was like meeting a confidant.”
"Look, both of our names have the word longevity. What does this mean?”
Xu Zengshou looked excited. He held his hand and said hurriedly,""This means that our meeting today is fate, brother!”
Zhu Ci 'an smiled happily.”
Zhan Hui, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, saw this scene and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Great!
Two wicked scums together!
He coughed and quickly reminded her,""Cough cough…Can we talk about the matter of the two of you becoming sworn brothers in the future? Don't forget the important matter.”
Official business…
Zhu Ci 'an and Xu Zengshou looked at each other, and their eyes looked at Zheng Wentao at the same time. Their eyes were cold and looked particularly scary.
Zheng Wentao's heart skipped a beat. He was so scared that he quickly shouted,"This case, this one has made a mistake, a mistake!”
Xu Zengshou shook his head and said,""Lord Gao only knows how to joke. If you don't get your butt stabbed a few times, how will you know if you've interrogated wrongly?”
"This official is also considering your innocence. Lord Gao, don't refuse.”
After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered,"Come on, let this Lord Gao have a taste of our Embroidered Uniform Guard's methods!”
Zheng Wentao peed his pants!
Just as he was about to run, a few Embroidered Uniform Guards had already stepped forward and pressed him firmly to the ground.
As soon as he pulled open his pants, the few women outside the government office immediately turned their heads to the side and secretly spat,"Pei, this butt is really black. I can't look at it anymore. If I look at it again, I won't be able to eat for four days.”On the other hand, a group of men were excited. They did not mind watching the show and shouted one after another,"Stab him! Quickly stab this dog official!"
One of the Brocade Guard heard the sound and drew his knife. He stabbed Zheng Wentao's butt four times!
Zheng Wentao was lying on the ground in pain. His eyes were wide open, and he was in so much pain that he almost bit his tongue to commit suicide.
He felt extremely humiliated!
In front of so many people, it was one thing to have his pants taken off, but he had actually suffered such a huge punishment…
What a sin!
He couldn't hold back his tears and cried,"Young Duke Xu, I've also received my punishment. Can I leave now?”
Although he had lost his official position, he still had a thousand acres of fertile land in his hometown. After his butt was cured, he could go back and be a rich man.
But at this time, Xu Zengshou smiled coldly and said,""You should leave!"
"However, it's not going back to the residence. It's going to Zhao Prison with us!”
Zheng Wentao felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
Zhao…Zhao Prison…
Would he still be alive to come back from that damned place?
It was definitely impossible!
He trembled all over and could not help but turn to Zhan Hui. He broke down and cried,"Lord…Lord Zhan…I don't want to go to Zhao Prison…Please send me to the Ministry of Justice!”
"If it doesn't work, you can kill me now!”
Zhan Hui looked at this scene coldly. He waved his sleeve and turned a blind eye.
Zheng Wentao was in complete despair!
He had always been afraid of death, but after his expression changed a few times, he actually revealed a generous expression of death!
I would rather die than enter Zhao Prison!
Just as he decided to bite his tongue to commit suicide, the Brocade Guard beside him reacted quickly and grabbed his underwear that had been taken off and stuffed it into his mouth!
Zheng Wentao whimpered non-stop. A thick stench entered his nose and mouth, making his tears flow and his face turn ashen.
Xu Zengshou looked at his masterpiece and felt very satisfied. He said with a beaming face,"Brother Zhu, I'm satisfied. What about you?”
Zhu Cian chuckled and said,"I'm also very happy!"”After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. There was a kind of mutual appreciation. The heroes in the world only had the boldness of the two of them.
The corners of Zhan Hui's mouth twitched violently.
These two wicked scums actually had the same bad taste!
Zheng Wentao, ah, Zheng Wentao, of all people, why did you have to provoke a black-hearted person like Zhu Cian?
Serves you right!
He was a man of high morals and he really didn't want to hang around with these two scum.
Therefore, he immediately cupped his hands and said,"Young Master Zhu, since this dog official has been executed, I will take my leave and return to the palace to report!”
"Take care, Minister Zhan!"
Zhan Hui was sweating profusely. He quickly got on his horse and ran away.
Xu Zengshou waved his hand and ordered,""A few people, send Zheng Wentao to Zhao Prison. The rest of you, follow us to send Brother Zhu back to the residence!”
"Is this appropriate, my lord?" Zhu Ci 'an asked in surprise.”
Xu Zengshou pulled a long face and said seriously,""You and I are brothers. Why are you treating me like an outsider?”
"Let's go, let's go. I can go to your residence to ask for a cup of tea.”
Zhu Ci 'an smiled and did not refuse. Then, under the escort of a group of cavalrymen in brocade clothes, he returned to his residence.
As soon as the door opened, Xu Zengshou looked at the empty mansion and was dumbfounded.
He clutched his chest and said with a pained expression,"Zheng Wentao actually wanted to harm a poor commoner like you, Brother Zhu. He's really not human! How could he have the heart to do it!"
Zhu Cian was stunned and couldn't help but ask,""Little Duke, could it be that you have misunderstood? My family is not poor.”
Xu Zengshou waved his hand and said with a worried face,""There's no need to lie to us. Look, this rat came to your residence. I'm afraid he has to leave with tears in his eyes. Isn't he poor?”
At this point, he was afraid of hurting Zhu Cian's self-esteem, so he patted him on the shoulder and said,"" Don't worry, we're brothers. We don't care about family background. They're not as powerful as mine anyway. Brother, you don't have to force yourself to keep up appearances in the future.”
Zhu Ci 'an was anxious. I'm not poor!
Just as he was about to explain, a submissive voice came from behind him."Young…Young Master Zhu…"
He turned around and saw Li Ping 'an.
" We agreed to deliver the silver this morning," Zhu Ci 'an said angrily." Why did you come so late, you bastard? You caused me to be misunderstood!"”
When Li Ping 'an saw the Embroidered Uniform Guards, his heart trembled. He said with a trembling voice,"" Young Master Zhu, I came early in the morning, but you weren't in the residence…" Zhu Ci 'an slapped his forehead. He had almost forgotten that he had brought his men to Yingtian Mansion at that time.
"Cut the crap. Did you bring the silver?”
Li Ping 'an smiled obsequiously and replied,""Young Master Zhu, I've brought them all!"
"It's just that I don't have much cash, so I've gathered 110,000 taels.”
"As for the remaining 210,000 taels, I used your ancestral property and 1,400 mu of land to convert it.”
"This is the list. Please take a look."
Zhu Ci 'an waved his hand, and Accountant Yang took the list. After calculating for a long time, he said,""Young Master, it's all right. 610,000 taels of silver, exactly the same!”
Xu Zengshou's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets when he saw this scene!
"Brother Zhu, what 610,000 taels?”
"Selling grain."
