my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 19
Zhang Anshi first met his elder sister, Zhang Shi, and cried loudly to Zhang Shi: "Sister, I have been kidnapped. Hurry up and persuade my brother-in-law to send a hundred and eighty guards to protect me..."

"I'm so miserable. A dozen people beat me. If I hadn't convinced people with virtue and reasoned with them, I would have died without a place to die today."

Zhang was shocked and immediately ordered the eunuch to call Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi came in with a big belly. Because of his hurried steps, he almost tripped over the threshold when he entered the hall.

He staggered and exclaimed in surprise: "An Shi, are you okay, Bengong will come and take a look."

Zhang Anshi said with a grievance on his face: "It's also because I was lucky that something happened to me."

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhang Anshi carefully and made sure that Zhang Anshi had no external injuries, but soon, his good-tempered prince also became furious: "There is such a bold thief in the world, where did you get robbed?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Not far from Zhang's house, they put a sack on my head and ran away with me behind their backs."

Zhu Gaochi said: "This matter must not be left alone, An Shi, you must be careful from now on. I will go to Yingtian Mansion in person and order them to find out the cause of the case. These thieves can't escape."

Zhang Anshi said: "Brother-in-law, you have to send one hundred and eighty guards..."

"We'll wait until we find out..."

"The guards still need to eat and drink. With so many horses...will they be unable to support them? Or..."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, I want to catch all the thieves first."

…………

Zhang Anshi was very sad to find out that one hundred and eighty guards did not catch them, but the next day, he was called to the bedroom by Mrs. Zhang.

Zhang is holding the young Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji is the grandson of the emperor, and he is the flesh and blood of the prince and the Zhang family. The Zhang family gave Zhu Zhanji a doting look: "My son is really sensible. He can already recite poems at a young age."

Zhang Anshi stared at his nephew with a smile, and couldn't help feeling a sense of intimacy in his heart: "Yes, he is a good boy. In the future, he will definitely be more conscientious than brother-in-law and treat me better."

But in a blink of an eye, Mrs. Zhang was as cold as frost: "I have a brother like you. I am really restless day and night. There is no day of peace. Others envy our Zhang family and say that our Zhang family is rich and powerful... But during this period How hard it is, only I know."

"Ah... how do you say such a thing, sister?"

"You're not even as good as Zhanji, look at it, you're a grown-up, but you still talk nonsense every day."

Zhang Anshi said: "I am wronged."

"I also said that I was wronged. Fortunately, His Highness was worried yesterday. First, he went to Yingtian Mansion, but the guards of Yingtian Mansion searched everywhere, and no one heard of anyone walking through the market with sacks on their backs. Not to mention any villains. Later, His Highness was still worried, and then I went to ask Wucheng Bingma Si and Wujun Dudufu, but I didn’t hear any bad people nearby. An Shi, you have been taught badly by Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu, two lawless people. If you continue like this, How come."

After finishing speaking, he began to sob and wiped his tears with his sleeve: "Why am I so miserable! Brothers from other people's families are all good, should I suffer like this? If my father knows that you are so ignorant, I will If he dies in the future, how should I face him."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Zhu Zhanji frowned on the side, seeing his mother and concubine crying, he also looked heavy, shook his mother's arm, and said, "Mother and concubine, don't be afraid, my uncle is worthless, and there is me."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

This time, even Zhang Anshi was confused.

It's impossible to become a living person.

Those guards were clearly ostentatious, carrying him on their backs... With such a big sack, all of them are blind?

Or maybe Ying Tianfu was perfunctory to his brother-in-law?

No, it's absolutely impossible. How could they have the guts to neglect the Crown Prince's investigation?

The more Zhang Anshi thought about it, the more unbelievable it became. He even thought, could it be that the old man was actually working in Yingtian Mansion, and he was the governor of Yingtian Mansion, so he was able to cover up the matter?
However, looking at the appearance of that old man, he is clearly a Qiu Ba, who does not have the slightest appearance of a civil servant.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang cried, Zhang Anshi couldn't take it anymore, and fled in despair.

Since the crown prince was unwilling to dispatch guards to protect him, Zhang Anshi thought about it carefully, and there were some servants at home, such as Zhang San or something.

Of course... People like Zhang San can't be counted on. There are seven or eight of them, and they all look like men who have killed people. Zhang San, even if there are twenty or thirty people by his side, Zhang Anshi doesn't think so. rest assured.

After thinking about it, since no one is protecting his safety, he might as well... just obey.

The so-called concept changes, the world is wider, Zhang Anshi feels that he chooses to coexist with that brother, but he feels a lot more relieved.

So Zhang Anshi worked hard on the medicine for several days, and after several attempts, he finally filtered and extracted the 'green hair', then carefully packed it in a porcelain bottle and hid it close to his body.

The things were ready, but those people kept coming to the door, which made Zhang Anshi feel uneasy.

Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves!
So after thinking about it carefully, the other party robbed him in Zhang Fu's mansion, could it be...

Everything was as Zhang Anshi expected. When he visited Zhang Fu, he didn't go over the wall this time, but just after he left the middle gate, he turned a street and saw a familiar face.

The old man was not there, but he was a guard next to him. The guard held his hands. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, his whole body had a toughness that transcended ordinary people.

The man smiled slightly at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Don't put on your hair, I want face."

The man stretched out his hand: "Where's the medicine?"

Zhang Anshi then took out the medicine from his bosom, handed it to the man and said, "I don't dare to say that I'm sure about this medicine..."

While speaking, this man had already taken the medicine, he seemed to be taciturn, and every word he said seemed to be a gift to others.

"Didn't brother come?"

The man gave Zhang Anshi a meaningful look, but he turned around and left without replying.

…………

August [-]th of the second year of Yongle.

The three kingdoms of Ryukyu paid tribute together, and the king of Shannan died, and his younger brother Yingzu reported his funeral. Because the king of Shannan had no heirs, Emperor Yongle ordered his younger brother Yingzu to be the king of Shannan and gave him the seal of the king of Shannan.

On the same day, the Su and Song prefectures were flooded, especially in the Wujiang area. The low fields were wiped out, and the peasants rescued the fields with water.The strong ones eat bran miscellaneous water chestnut algae one after another, and the old and the young cannot go to the city to beg, and most of them are thrown into the river.

The memorial was delivered to Zhu Di's desk, and Zhu Di showed worry on his face.

Both Suzhou and Songjiang are the most important grain-producing areas in the south of the Yangtze River. The disaster here will inevitably affect the revenue of the state treasury in that year.

At this time, Zhu Di was holding a Zhu pen, thinking about it, and then Zhu went on to criticize: "There is an example of giving rice to the flooded places in Dingsu, Song and other prefectures: one bucket of rice for each big mouth, six liters for six to 14 years old, and no rice for children under five years old. For each household with more than [-] mouths, only one stone will be given. If it does not belong to the whole disaster, if there is food shortage in the area, the loan of rice will be given as an example: one dou of rice for one mouth, two dou of rice for two to five mouths, and two dou of rice for six to eight mouths. Three buckets of rice are borrowed by mouth, and four buckets of rice are borrowed by those with nine to ten mouths. After the autumn harvest, they will return to the officials.”

After Zhu's criticism, Zhu Di raised his head, but saw Yi Shiha crept in, bent his body and said, "Your Majesty."

Zhu Di put his hands on the imperial case, and said casually: "Um..."

Yishiha said, "Jinyiwei has something to play."

New week, ask for support!
