my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 55

Zheng Heng shuddered, and said in his heart that he should hurry up and collect 3000 taels of silver first.

When I got home, I sighed, and just sat down, wondering which bastard was setting me up, but the doorman said: "Master, master, Lord Qiu, the Duke of Qi, is here."

Qi State Duke Qiu Fu is Zheng Heng's old brother, Zheng Heng cheered up, thinking that he just happened to meet Qi State Duke and ask about His Majesty's thoughts.

As soon as Qi State Duke Qiu Fu came in, he went straight to the point and said, "I heard that my brother has made a fortune, haha...it's amazing, it's really amazing."

Zheng Heng's face turned green, and he muttered: "What... what, I'm so poor, I'm planning to sell the old house..."

Qiu Fu's eyes widened, and he immediately showed displeasure: "What are you talking about, why are you pretending to be poor with me, who doesn't know that you have made a fortune, okay, okay, don't talk too much, my son It's useless, I'm thinking about how many concubines I have to take and how many children I have, we are brothers, let me tell you how much you can lend me."

Zheng Heng: "..."

See Zheng Heng did not respond.

Qiu Fu's face became even more ugly: "What do you mean, Zheng Heng, you bastard, think about it carefully, when you fell into the water in the Battle of Huaihe River, who fished you out? Who was in the battle of Jiahe River?" When you ran out of ammunition and food, the starry night rushed to rescue you from the siege of tens of thousands of troops?"

"Now you want to turn your face and deny anyone, your conscience has been eaten by dogs?"

Zheng Heng said with an aggrieved face: "I didn't get rich, I was wronged, I was wronged more than Dou E, Brother Qiu, listen to my explanation..."

"Damn it!" Qiu Fu cursed, "Explain me a bird, if people don't know about some things, unless I don't do it myself, if I knew you were such a person, I should let you drown."

So he ignored Zheng Heng, turned around angrily and left.

Zheng Heng wanted to chase him out, but unfortunately Qiu Fu didn't give him a chance to explain.

Zheng Heng froze on the spot, stunned for a long time, and couldn't help stomping his feet: "Who is it, who is harming me?"

Not long after Qiu Fu had left, another person came, and the door came in a hurry: "Master, Duke Cheng is here."

Zhu Neng...

Zheng Heng went to greet Zhu Neng with a tired face, and Zhu Neng came in loudly. When he saw Zheng Heng, he smiled and said as if you understood: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, that old man is you."

Zheng Heng asked puzzled, "Which brother?"

"Hey..." Zhu Neng continued to smile and said, "It's good that you know me, I understand."

"I don't understand." Zheng Heng felt that he had encountered the weirdest thing in the world.

Zhu Neng gave him a meaningful look, and said happily, "Okay, brothers, let's not talk about this."

After that, he spread his hands: "Give me the money."

"What?"

Zhu Neng said: "My family is so poor that we can't get rid of it. You made a fortune and borrowed three to five thousand taels of silver to save the emergency."

Zheng Heng was angry: "No, no, no!"

Zhu Neng was not angry, but spit on the ground, and said with a look of contempt: "Mother, you are so stingy!"

Zheng Heng: "..."

Zhu Neng left Zheng's house and returned home with two trusted family members. One of the family members said: "Master, there is no shortage of money in the house. Why are you here to borrow money? Did Marquis Wu An lend you money?"

Zhu Neng looked contented, and said cheerfully: "This dog is not a thing, I didn't expect such a stingy person. But although I didn't borrow it, I still have to borrow it."

"Didn't you hear the news? In the morning, His Majesty summoned Zheng Heng to collect money. Zheng Heng had just made a fortune. I was just thinking about it. At that time, His Majesty will be mad... no... At that time, His Majesty will care about the people. What do you do if you want to demand money from me?"

"Look, now that I'm here to borrow money, isn't this a safe matter? I'm going around borrowing money, is your Majesty still ashamed to ask me for it?"

When the servant heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up: "Master, it's really high to plan ahead."

Zhu Neng heaved a sigh of relief: "I can't help it. I don't have the ability to make money, but I still have the ability to hide money."

But Zhu Di, who was in the palace, was so angry that he gritted his teeth so much that he slept with Empress Xu in his clothes at night, and at dawn the next day, he was still talking in his sleep, chanting: "Catastrophe...Zheng Heng...old dog ...I misread this guy..."

Yi Shiha, the eunuch serving outside, heard the movement and thought the emperor was awake, so he tiptoed in.

Hearing the small footsteps, Zhu Di woke up with a start.

"Your Majesty, the servants will die."

Zhu Di woke up, but his expression was normal: "It's not in your way, what time is it now?"

"A moment at a time."

"A moment at a time?" Zhu Di read slowly.

Empress Xu has also woken up, and the eunuchs and maids came in one after another to wash and change her clothes.

Zhu Di had already put on his robes, so he put his hands behind his back, and said to Yishi: "Can Songjiang and Suzhou have new rushes?"

Yi Shiha thought for a while, and said: "You have to ask the Secretary of the General Administration, and the servant girl should ask the servant of the Secretary of the General Administration to answer."

The eunuch of the General Administration Department was responsible for passing the memorials to the palace, and the eunuch called by Yishiha was called Hua Bule. Hua Bule was a member of the Wara tribe. After being captured, he was castrated and became an eunuch. He has quick hands and feet, so he is responsible for connecting with the political secretary.

Hua Bule made a big salute to Zhu Di, and replied: "I didn't send the urgent music last night, but..."

Seeing that there was something in his words, Zhu Di frowned, "But what?"

Hua Bule said: "However, there is a news in the capital that it is... the East Palace... over there..."

After hearing this, Yi Shiha pursed her lips and coughed uncontrollably, as if to remind Hua Bule to be cautious in her words and deeds.

Zhu Di seemed to have heard something strange, and said angrily, "Report according to the facts."

"A few days ago, the son of the Zhang family..."

"Which Zhang family?"

"Prince Princess..."

Zhu Di's face was serious: "Continue talking."

"The Zhang family... is that Mr. An Shi, who sent a large number of people to Suzhou and Songjiang, bought a large number of women, and enriched the East Palace... These days, nearly a thousand women have arrived at the East Palace one after another..."

Zhu Di was taken aback: "What are the Crown Princess and Zhang Anshi going to do?"

"Slaves...Slaves don't know."

Zhu Di was furious: "Why is no one playing Chen?"

Hua Bule said: "The crown prince is the crown prince... I dare not speak of the crown prince's fault."

Yishiha stood aside with a blank expression, his eyes glanced at Hua Bule, Yishiha's gaze was a bit cold at this time, the layout in the palace...is very complicated, some were eunuchs from Nanjing City back then, and there were also a large number of them, They are eunuchs from the Prince's Palace in Beiping. Everyone has their own thoughts. Over the years, the King of Han intends to seize the throne, and he has enticed many eunuchs in the palace, and many eunuchs could not withstand the temptation and participated in the battle between the East Palace and the King of Han. Infighting.

At this moment, Hua Bule suddenly 'failed to speak', obviously unable to bear himself, and wanted to make a contribution to the King of Han.

Sure enough, the furious Zhu Di glanced at Yi Shiha, and said angrily, "Do you know about this matter?"

Yi Shiha hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your maid...knows a little bit, but..."

"Bastard." Zhu Di was trembling with anger, "Since you know, Jin Yiwei must also know a thing or two, so... what about my officials? Are they all deaf and blind? The prince is so amazing!"

Yi Shiha shivered and said: "The servant will die."

Zhu Di immediately looked at Hua Bule: "Go on."

Hua Bule said: "In the market, rumors have been circulating for a long time. Some people say...His Royal Highness is attracting a large number of beautiful women into the palace at this time. It is...really..."

Zhu Di said: "It really doesn't look like it, does it? Just the prince, how dare you have three thousand beauties?"

Hua Bule said: "This servant dare not say that."

"anything else?"
