On the top floor of the Thousand Gold Platform.
Zhu Ying was reading information about the Fish Dragons.
Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy was a surefire way to win a hundred battles. Before he made his move, he naturally had to understand in detail.
"Chief, that Duke Cao Li Jinglong wants to see you.”Ding Xiu came in to report.
Zhu Ying frowned slightly.
Last time, he beat up that guy at Thousand Gold Platform, and that guy took the initiative to show goodwill to Beggar's Sect.
After that, he never appeared again.
That guy shouldn't know my identity. Why did he suddenly come to see me?
"Bring him up." Zhu Ying waved his hand.
Ding Xiu turned around and went downstairs. Not long after, she brought Li Jinglong up.
"Brother Zhu, I didn't expect that the boss of this Thousand Gold Platform would actually change to you.”Li Jinglong was enthusiastic and polite.
"How did you know it was me?" Zhu Ying smiled faintly.
Li Jinglong took out a jar and blinked."Brother Zhu, this was sent over by an old comrade of my dead father. I learned from him that this good thing was made by you.”
It was refined salt.
Zhu Ying understood.
Old Zhu must have given it to him.
It turned out that Old Zhu and the deceased Duke of Cao, Li Wenzhong, were comrades.
"Old Zhu gave it to you, right?" Zhu Ying smiled." Come, have a seat."
Li Jinglong smiled and nodded.
He cursed in his heart. I don't dare to call him Old Zhu.
I'm here by imperial decree. The Emperor wants me to cooperate with Zhu Ying in the refined salt business.
I'm really lucky to know Zhu Ying. Such a good salt business has actually fallen into my hands.
"Yes, he and my damn father were brothers through life and death. Before my father died, he even told me to take good care of his brother.”Li Jinglong sighed." Their generation climbed through a pile of dead people together. Their relationship is not ordinary.”
"Your father is the Duke of Cao. Why didn't he promote Old Zhu? At least give him a title of nobility.”Zhu Ying said," Old Zhu is still guarding the palace gate.”
Li Jinglong's expression was very interesting. He said awkwardly,""The title of nobility was decided by that old man the emperor. Moreover, there are too many brothers who fought with the emperor. There were many people like Old Zhu. However, the emperor valued relationships and gave them some idle jobs. However, he gave them enough money. In fact, he was just supporting them.”
Zhu Ying nodded slowly.
In his heart, it was best for Old Zhu to keep a low profile.
Those marquises were almost all killed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the end.
"Why are you looking for me today?" Zhu Ying asked.
"Hehe, of course I hope Brother Zhu can bring me to riches.”Li Jinglong smiled." Can I mix in some of this refined salt?"”
"Aren't you afraid?" Zhu Ying smiled faintly. I heard that the prince consort was caught smuggling salt.”
Li Jinglong smiled slyly." Why would I be afraid? Let's do it secretly. Don't be like him. That idiot was tricked by those Huaixi dignitaries.”
Zhu Ying facepalmed.
You're talking as if you're not a noble from Huaixi.
However, if he, Duke Cao, was involved in this illegal salt business, it would definitely be much easier.
If something really happened in the future, he could bear the thunder.
"As long as you're not afraid, I can let you get involved.”
"That's great!"
……
Zhu Ying and Li Jinglong chatted for a long time and discussed the details.
Li Jinglong then left.
He was happy in his heart. The mission given by the emperor was finally completed.
After Li Jinglong left, Zhu Ying continued to read the information on the Fish Dragons.
Not long after, Ding Xiu brought Zhu Yuanzhang in.
"Old Zhu, you want to drink again?" Zhu Ying greeted him with a smile.
"I'm very annoyed today, so I came to your place to drink.”Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Zhu Ying asked Ding Xiuchuan to serve a table of dishes.
He sat opposite Zhu Yuanzhang and started drinking.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy as he drank three cups in a row.
"Hey, hey, Old Zhu, this wine shouldn't be drunk like this.”Zhu Ying spread his hands." What's wrong? Who made you angry again? Old Zhu, I see that you have quite a temper.”
"About that trivial matter at home." Zhu Yuanzhang drank another cup." We've been fighting for our whole lives. We've saved up a little family business, but we're afraid that our descendants won't be able to keep it.”
"Old Zhu, your family business is so big that you have to worry so much? Do you think you are the emperor?" Zhu Ying was annoyed." Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. They might not even care about your little family business. It's so exciting to rely on yourself in life.”
“？？？”Zhu Yuanzhang had a strange expression.
Our family business?
Only you would dare to say that.
"Let's not talk about this." Zhu Yuanzhang put down his cup and said," I heard that the emperor has arrested the emperor's son-in-law. You're in the illegal salt business. Be careful."”
"Understood!" Zhu Ying spread his hands." I really can't see the Emperor. Why don't I just take the refined salt and ask the Emperor if he wants to work together?"”
"Hahaha, you're really bold to want to work together with the emperor.”Zhu Yuanzhang laughed." However, I guess the Emperor has been very worried recently. He has captured his son-in-law and doesn't know if he should kill him.”
"Then you're wrong. With Master Hong Wu's personality, it's not a matter of whether he kills the Fuma or not.”Zhu Ying smiled." It's a question of how many people to kill. I think the Emperor is conflicted about whether he should take action against Huaixi Xun Gui. After all, we are all comrades who fought together.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly shocked.
Zhu Ying was right about everything that he was thinking.
"Then what do you think the Emperor will do?”Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"If I were the emperor, I would hold a banquet at Hongmen and kill the Fuma at the banquet!”Zhu Ying snorted." This is the final warning to the nobles of Huaixi. I've even beheaded my own son-in-law. It's time for you to stop. If you still don't stop, then if you continue to behead him, whether it's the court, the people, or the future history books, no one will blame the Emperor.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes instantly lit up.
This was really a good idea!
