The hall immediately fell into a deathly silence.
Hong Chengchou and Zhu Chunchen looked at each other.
Hearing this interest, Hong Chengchou could not help but frown slightly.
He was obviously a little suspicious.
It was true that he earned a lot of money from going out to sea.
But it wasn't to this extent!
All the money he earned was given to him, and he only ran errands for him?
Without waiting for Hong Chengchou to ask in detail.
Zhu Chunchen immediately grabbed Zhou Kui's arm and said excitedly,
"Zhou Guozhang, no, old brother!"
"You have to take a look at me. Our eldest daughter has been weak and sickly since she was young.”
"Ever since I fell ill from a cold a few years ago, taking medicine every day cost a lot of money.”
"You don't care about this little bit of silver, but to our daughter, it's life-saving silver!”
Hearing Zhu Chunchen's words.
Zhou Kui could not help but fall silent.
His heart could not help but race.
Your eldest daughter is as strong as an ox. She's just short of going up the mountain to be a bandit.
How dare you say such a thing!
However, it was sold miserably.
It was just a step for both sides.
Zhou Kui heard Zhu Chunchen's words.
He could only helplessly smile bitterly and say,
"Aiya, Duke of Cheng, what are you saying? You're the leader of our Ming Dynasty's martial achievements, and you're already speaking.”
"How about this, you can bring the silver over tomorrow.”
Hearing Zhou Kui's words.
Zhu Chunchen was so happy that his snot was about to bubble.
At the side, he smiled and thanked her profusely.
"Alright, alright."
After saying that, the two of them immediately looked at Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"This Hong is inferior to the two of you. Today, I originally came to visit Old Zhou. Old Zhou's body is fine, so Chengchou can rest assured.”
After saying that, Hong Chengchou even gave Zhu Chunchen a look.
At this moment, Zhu Chunchen's brain was filled with money.
He could no longer see Hong Chengchou's eyes.
Hong Chengchou could only sigh helplessly.
Just as Hong Chengchou and Zhu Chunchen were about to leave.
Zhou Kui also added the finishing touch.
"The two of you, don't tell anyone else at this time. Just say that this old man has something to do at home. Remember, remember!”
As soon as he said this.
Zhu Chunchen immediately patted his chest and looked at Zhou Kui as he laughed loudly.
"Hahaha, Zhou Guozhang, do you still not trust us? Just put your heart in your stomach!”
Perhaps there was no such sentence.
The news didn't spread that fast.
However, Zhou Kui knew that once he said that.
In a few hours, this matter would spread throughout the capital's noble circles.
That afternoon.
The British Duke Zhang Zhiji, Duke Dingguo Xu Yunzhen, Marquis Wuqing Li Guorui, and the others directly dragged a cart of silver to Zhou Kui's residence.
They insisted on staying in the Jiading Manor to force Zhou Kui to accept their money.
He was just short of throwing a tantrum and rolling around!
Wang Chengen, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Good heavens.
In terms of bluffing, it's still you, Duke Zhou!
That night, Chongzhen received Zhou Kui's report.
After seeing the exact number, Zhu Youjian was completely unsettled.
In just one day.
Da Ming's noble men had gathered more than 1.5 million taels of silver!
He had shouted his lungs out in court, but these civil and military officials had only managed to gather fifty thousand taels of silver!
Now, Zhou Kui had casually fooled him twice.
1.5 million taels of silver!
When Zhu Youjian reported this number to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even Old Zhu, who was mentally prepared, broke through his defense.
Was he really greedy?
The imperial court's Ministry of Revenue was so poor that even rats ran away.
But all of these nobles were as rich as a country?
Emperor Si Zonglie:
"Great-grandfather, what should your son do now?”
"Your son can't wait to send the Embroidered Uniform Guards to exterminate these people!”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
How could Old Zhu not want to directly drag these people out and chop them up!
But these people were dignitaries!
If the Zhu family's bloody battle on the battlefield held back the Zhenren in front…
No one in the world would be able to say anything if they killed these people directly.
However, the Zhu family was still on their way to the capital.
Not only was there a shortage of silver everywhere, but there was also a shortage of people who could do things.
Kill these people.
Before the imperial clan could reach the capital, the entire capital would be thrown into chaos.
Thinking of this…
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frown.
Emperor Taizu Gao:
"Just you wait. We'll go and ask someone for you now!”
Even though it was already midnight.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't care less and immediately ordered people to prepare a carriage and hurried out of the palace.
……
At Su Qiao's house.
He looked at the quiet courtyard house.
Su Qiao, who had just bought two pancakes from Qianmen Street, walked into his house with a melancholic expression.
As soon as he opened the courtyard door.
Su Qiao could not help but sigh.
Then, he took a big bite of the pancake.
This Da Ming was too pitiful.
He couldn't even put a single chili in a pancake!
Before Su Qiao could curse a few times…
The mouth that was originally chewing on the pancake could not help but freeze on the spot.
Because Su Qiao could clearly see the back of an old man sitting quietly in the hall far away...
