"Come, pour tea for the wronged…the little duke!”
As soon as they sat down, the relationship between the two of them, who had almost broken apart, instantly recovered.
Xu Zengshou put the unpleasantness that had just happened to the back of his mind and talked about serious matters."Old Zhu, have you heard of an interesting matter that has been circulating in the Ying Tian Prefecture recently?”
"What is it?" Zhu Cian asked with interest.”
Xu Zengshou chuckled and whispered mysteriously,""It's about the eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen…"
Zhu Yunwen?
Zhu Ci 'an suddenly revealed a gossipy expression and quickly asked,""Quick, tell us. What's wrong with him?"
Xu Zengshou was not in a hurry. After taking a sip of tea, he said slowly,""He…was beaten up!"
Zhu Cian was shocked.
There was actually someone who dared to beat up Zhu Yunwen under the feet of the emperor?
He couldn't help but ask," Young Duke, who beat you up? How dare you?"”
Xu Zengshou shook his head and sighed." I don't know. But I heard he's a merchant."”
"As for the cause of the matter, it's very simple. It's said that when the emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunwen, was in disaster relief, that person couldn't stand Zhu Yunwen's actions, so he had a big fight with him and even slapped him twice.”
"Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen's teacher, Huang Zicheng, was also present and sent him to see the imperial physician overnight.”
"Otherwise, the dignified imperial grandson will end up being beaten to death on the streets.”
Hearing this, Zhu Ci 'an had a bad feeling."The merchant who attacked, does he still want to cut off the imperial grandson's ovum?”
Xu Zengshou nodded subconsciously." Yes, yes. I have to say, this guy even dared to beat up the imperial grandson. He's really powerful!"”
"It's also because we weren't there at the time. Otherwise, we would have knelt down and called him grandfather!”
As he spoke, he suddenly froze and couldn't help but say,"" Old Zhu, I thought you didn't know about this. Why do you know about this detail…"
Zhu Ci 'an reached out his hand and patted Xu Zengshou's head. He said lovingly,""Good boy, good big grandson, quickly call grandpa!”
Xu Zengshou was suddenly enlightened and jumped three feet high in fright!
"My dear mother, Old Zhu, did you beat up the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen?!”"You're in trouble, you're in big trouble!”
Zhu Cian spread his hands." I can't help it. He deserves a beating."”
"If I had known that he was Zhu Yunwen, I would have secretly put a gunny sack on his head before doing it, so that he wouldn't recognize my identity.”
After saying that, he was also dumbfounded.
Good fellow!
He actually beat up the future Emperor Jianwen on the street?
She wanted to cut off his ovum?
He had gotten the melon on his head…
Sigh, what is this!
However, there was nothing to regret. Anyway, he was going to run away. Why should he be afraid of Zhu Yunwen?
No wonder Zhu Yunwen was defeated by his uncle Zhu Di four years after he ascended the throne. It would be strange if he could hold on to the throne just based on his cowardly behavior that day.
Seeing that Zhu Cian was silent for a long time, Xu Zengshou thought that he was shocked by the news and quickly said,""Old Zhu, since Zhu Yunwen was ordered by His Majesty to face the wall for three days, you should quickly pack up and run!”
"We can still talk in places like the Ningpo Prefecture. If you go, I guarantee that Zhu Yunwen's men won't be able to find you!”
"When the storm is over, we'll send people to find you and secretly return to the capital.”
When Zhu Cian heard this, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
Xu Zengshou was still willing to help even though he knew that he had offended the imperial grandson. It could be seen that he was still very loyal.
He smiled and said," He's just the grandson of the emperor. I'll beat him up. Not only do I not want to run, I'm also thinking of cheating Zhu Yunwen's teacher, Huang Zicheng!"”
Xu Zengshou was stunned and his voice changed."What? You still want to scam Corey?"
Zhu Ci 'an put on a bachelor-like look.""Yeah, a barefoot person is not afraid of a person wearing shoes. Anyway, I've already offended him, so it doesn't matter if I offend him again.”
"He has a mountain in his hands. I must get it! Little Duke, do you dare to get involved?”
"After this matter, you will definitely benefit!”
Iron ore was a national weapon.
Once a new mine was mined, it would easily attract the attention of countless people. A small merchant like him would not be able to handle it. It would be better to sacrifice some benefits and give it to the Duke of Wei's Estate.
With the backing of the Duke of Wei Residence, it could save a lot of trouble.
However, after Xu Zengshou heard this, he slapped his forehead.""Ah, it's getting late. We should go back to the residence to sleep.”
After saying that, he walked away.
He did not have the guts to meddle in matters related to the imperial grandson. If the Emperor mistakenly thought that he was involved in the struggle for the crown prince, it would be easy for something big to happen.
Zhu Cian was not anxious at all. He said slowly,""Young Duke is leaving so early. Sigh, I was thinking of pulling you into a big business that would earn at least a million taels a year!”
"In that case, forget it.”
A million taels?
Xu Zengshou was shocked!
His legs, which had just taken a step forward, suddenly stopped.
He turned around and laughed." Haha, Old Zhu, I was just teasing you. It's just Huang Zicheng. I'm from the Duke of Wei's Mansion, so I'm not afraid of this old man."”
"What big deal is it? Tell me quickly!”
Zhu Cian looked at him with a faint smile and asked,""Aren't you going home to sleep?"
"Sleep?" Xu Zengshou said righteously. Sleep? I'm a loyal person. I'm willing to go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire for you. If I frown, I'm worse than a pig or a dog!”
Zhu Cian didn't hide it and smiled.""I want to bring you to do two big business deals. It's iron ore!”
Xu Zengshou widened his eyes and asked in surprise,""Iron ore? He had never heard that Huang Zicheng had an iron ore mine. If he did, he would have given it to his grandson, Zhu Yunwen.”
Zhu Cian waved his hand and said," You'll know when you see it. The Salt and Iron Transportation Company's connections have been opened."”
"What Little Duke wants to do is to help me stop the covetous eyes of those noble people in the capital after the iron mine is mined.”
"How about we split the profits of the iron mine?”
Xu Zengshou slapped his thigh.”
"Old Zhu, what is this other deal?”
Zhu Cian didn't answer him. He turned around and pulled him into the study. The Xuan paper was spread out.
As the pen moved, the obscene scene of a man and a woman having sex was vivid and lifelike, jumping on the paper.
Xu Zengshou leaned his head over and was shocked.
" This…this is a erotic painting?!" Looking at the ink-wash painting in front of him, Xu Zengshou's face turned red, and even his breathing quickened.
As if he had seen a rare treasure, he stared at it without blinking and exclaimed,"Wonderful, it's really wonderful!"
" Aiyaya, this painter is like a living person…"
"Old Zhu, I've appraised quite a few masterpieces. Forgive me for being blind, but what is this move you drew called?”
Zhu Cian smiled faintly and whispered a few words in his ear.
Xu Zengshou was startled." Guanyin…Thank goodness those bald donkeys didn't see us. Otherwise, they would have fought you to the death."”
"However, this name is interesting. I like it!”
