Daming Military Empire

Chapter 68
Fate is a very subtle thing. If there is fate, even if they pass by in the vast crowd, two people who have never met before may become best friends; A little intersection.

Of course, what we are talking about here is pure friendship, not love. Pure friendship depends on fate. As for love, it is too complicated, so we won’t discuss it.

Like the friendship between Zhu Cijiong and Zheng Sen, at the beginning Zhu Cijiong thought that he deliberately got to know Zheng Sen, but as time went by, he found that he and Zheng Sen really had a similar taste.He likes to take Zheng Sen to wander around, it feels so good to have a younger brother.Zheng Sen also likes to wander around with Zhu Cijiong. He is naturally very happy to have a big brother take him to play.

In this way, the two most influential children in Daming today stick together. Zhu Cijiong has gradually gotten used to Zheng Sen's presence. If Zheng Sen is not around, he will always feel that something is missing.Zheng Sen even regarded Zhu Cijiong as his own brother. He came to play with Zhu Cijiong as soon as he woke up in the morning. He had to play until he was about to go to bed at night before going back, and waited until he woke up the next morning to continue!

Qin Mingyue also likes Zheng Sen more and more, not that she doesn't like Zhu Cijiong, after all, she has been with Zhu Cijiong for several years, and she has regarded Zhu Cijiong as part of her life, but Zhu Cijiong is the current emperor after all, and the two of them know Qin Mingyue well It is inevitable to have a sense of awe for him.Zheng Sen is different. His father, Zheng Zhilong, is now a general soldier, and he happens to be in the same position as Qin Mingyue's late father. She doesn't feel any pressure on this little brother, whether it's an older sister or a nanny. It's a joy.

Just as the friendship between the three was brewing, a shit stirrer appeared.

That night at Xushi, the three of them were eating cakes and chatting in Zuixianlou. A fat-headed and big-eared pig brother ran over, cupped his hands at Zheng Sen and said, "Mr. Zheng, long time no see."

Right now, Zheng Sen only had the third brother and sister Mingyue in his eyes. How could he remember who the fat boy was? He was going to send him away with a few perfunctory words, but when he looked up, his face immediately fell down.

It turned out that the fat boy was staring at Qin Mingyue with fiery eyes, with a lewd smile on his face!
Zheng Sen hadn't opened his mouth to reprimand, but this guy couldn't bear it and shouted anxiously: "This little girl is really good-looking, it just so happens that the maid in my house is sick these two days, Mr. Zheng, why don't you sell it to me?" Bar."

Now it's a hornet's nest:
Zheng Sen was so angry that he jumped off his chair, pointed at his nose and was about to curse, but was stopped by the old man who rushed over from the table next to him.

Qin Mingyue's pretty face turned cold, she clenched her hands around her waist, and was about to draw her sword to stab this lifeless thing to death, but found that she didn't even have a sword with her.

Zhu Cijiong slapped the table directly, and shouted: "Come here."

Luo Yangxing, Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming, and Shi Kefa at the table next to him rushed over in a flash. He was about to order that fat man with no eyes to be dragged out and chopped off, but Luo Yangxing hurried up and whispered: "This It is Xu Wenjue, the son of Duke Wei."

It turns out that this is the local emperor in Jinling City, the backer of the Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrat group, the descendant of the founding general Xu Da, Xu Wenjue, the son of Wei Guogong Xu Hongji!The city defense of Nanjing City has always been in charge of the Xu family. Zhao Zhilong is just a dog of the Xu family. The ones who really dominate Nanjing are Xu Hongji and Xu Wenjue father and son. Now Xu Hongji is old, weak, sick and disabled. Gradually take over.

When he heard that it was this guy, Zhu Cijiong hesitated. It wasn't that he was afraid of Xu Wenjue, but that the Oiran Conference would be held in a few days. He and Luo Yangxing had been planning for so long, just to destroy the city of Jinling as quickly as possible. The heads of the Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrat group in the city have been wiped out, and if they explode now, wouldn't it disrupt the entire plan.

Xu Wenjue thought they didn't dare to show up because of his prestige, so he couldn't help saying proudly: "It's just a maid, there's no need to be so excited. For Mr. Zheng's sake, I'll pay 1000 taels."

Zheng Sen couldn't bear it anymore. Regardless of the old scholar's obstruction, he pointed at Xu Wenjue's nose and cursed: "You are the maidservant, and your whole family is maidservants. I will pay 1 taels to buy all the maidservants in your family."

Seeing that the matter had come to this, the old scholar had no choice but to shake his head and sighed helplessly: "Your Highness, our son may have forgotten who you are, and he still looks at Haihan."

He wasn't afraid that Xu Wenjue would dare to do anything to Zheng Sen, even though Zheng Zhilong was just a small general soldier, no one dared to offend him in this southeast land, neither did Xu Wenjue, he only had [-] defenders if he died, Zheng Zhilong had more than [-] pirates, and even two Xu Wenjue were not enough to watch.

Naturally, Xu Wenjue didn't dare to turn against Zheng Sen, so he thought that Zheng Sen was advising him, and immediately changed his words: "Mr. Zheng said 1 taels, so let's go for 1 taels. How about it? Sell a maid for 1 taels." , you have already made a lot of money, so if you are sensible, sell your maid to me obediently."

He always thought that Zhu Cijiong dared to fight him to the death because of Zheng Sen's backing, so he didn't take Zhu Cijiong seriously at all.

Of course Zhu Cijiong didn't need Zheng Sen to back him up. The reason why he hesitated was just because he didn't want to startle the snake. Xu Wenjue's face really made him angry just looking at it, but it was really not suitable for him to do it now, so he had no choice but to shout: "Fuck off!" .”

Oops, this kid, dare to tell me to get lost!Xu Wenjue's face was also a little uncomfortable, he no longer had a playful smile, but scolded with a serious face: "Whose kid are you, so rude, if I didn't look at Mr. Zheng's face today, would you be arrogant here? ?”

Zhu Cijiong is so angry, if I don't want to scare the snake, do I allow you to be arrogant here?
At this time, the old scholar ran out again to be a peacemaker. He cupped his hands and said to Xu Wenjue: "Your Highness, this son is surnamed Zhu, and he is a good friend of our son."

He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of Zhu, which meant that Xu Wenjue could understand it.

If it were normal, he would really despise a prince surnamed Zhu, but now the emperor is offering sacrifices to his ancestors in Fengyang Mansion, Jinling City is full of guards in Jinyi, and he happened to cover the commander of the guards in Jinyi, Luo Yangxing. The Rixinglong Company has been sealed. If he offends a young prince again, Luo Yangxing will definitely use this as an excuse to sue him in front of the emperor. If the little emperor makes a fuss at that time, the Rixinglong Company will not only hand over his hands but return it to him. Luo Yangxing may have to compensate for the loss of Luo Yangxing.

That's tens of millions of taels, and it's really not worth it for a maidservant. After thinking about it for a while, he changed his face again, slapped a haha, and said shyly: "Oh, it turns out that you're a little prince, I'm sorry. I'm rude, those who don't know don't blame me, you count me as my apology, you take it slow, Xu will leave."

After all, he turned around and left Shi Shiran, as if nothing had happened.

This Xu Wenjue thought he had an army of 20, and the Donglin Party was cheering for him in the court. As long as he didn't get things done, the little emperor wouldn't dare to do anything to him.Therefore, the little emperor wanted to collect transaction tax, so he pretended to pay more than [-] taels, which was perfunctory.The businessman under Luo Yangxing's cover came to Nanjing to grab business with him, and he even played a trick of framing, so he sealed up his shop.

He thinks that this is already giving the little emperor and Luo Yangxing a lot of face. After all, on the surface he has done nothing wrong. Your little emperor wants me to pay taxes, and I will pay them. I didn't say anything, I had them seized only because they were selling the stolen goods, which is not too much.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't do anything to him at that time, not because he didn't dare, but because he really didn't care about him. At that time, the peasant uprising and the Houjin army had crushed Chongzhen out of breath, so how could he care about it? Things about Nanjing.

Our Chongzheng Emperor Zhu Cijiong is different. With grenades and landmines, the Jin army basically can't break through the city in Liaodong. With flintlock guns, it is only a matter of time before the peasant uprising army is wiped out. Now he just Just lack of money.It just so happened that you, Xu Wenjue, not only ordered Nanjing Six Departments to be perfunctory in collecting transaction taxes, which caused me to lose more than 500 million taels of tax in vain; you also ordered Zhao Zhilong to seal up the Rixinglong firm I opened, and you will be blamed if you don’t deal with it .

He was thinking about how to make it after Xu Wenjue was caught in a few days, Zheng Sen suddenly asked curiously: "Third brother, so you are the little prince, who is your father?"

Zhu Cijiong rolled his eyes when he heard the words, I am the father, not the father, okay, I will scare you to death when I say it.

Of course, it's not time to say anything yet, so he could only perfunctorily say, "You'll know in a few days."

Hearing this, Zheng Sen got even more excited, and asked, "Is your father coming to the Oiran Conference too?"

Zhu Cijiong fell off the chair by mistake when he heard the words, is there anyone like you who can blame people? My father and emperor have passed away for a few years, okay? What kind of oiran conference are you watching?
