Domineering Daming

The courtyard in the east of the city was brightly lit and people were coming and going.

In the lobby, Zhu Xu was sitting with a biscuit-like object in his hand, looking over and over again.

"No additives."

Zhu Xu murmured to himself, then took another small bite, chewing carefully in his mouth.

"Well, it tastes good."

This piece is salty, Zhu Xu likes it, not as crisp as later generations, but soft and delicious.

"Your Highness." Li Deyong bowed and stood in front of Zhu Xu excitedly, and said, "This thing... this biscuit, the little ones have it all the time, and the cost is very low. If every family in the capital buys ten yuan a day, the price If it’s less than five renminbi, then we’ll make a fortune.”

"I'm not only selling in the capital."

But I can't say too much now, I nodded slightly and said, "How long can it be kept?"

Li Deyong immediately said: "Return to Your Highness, it can be preserved for ten days."

"Without preservatives, vacuum bags, this is too long." Zhu Xu thought to himself.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xu said: "Well, this is a good one. It has more flavors, and it should be high-end...the expensive one, not for ordinary people."

Li Deyong was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, here, here, there are not many wealthy families in the capital..."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly. He never thought of earning money from the common people, so he waved his hands and said, "You guys do it first, and then I will give it to the queen, and the emperor will send it to me. I'm not afraid that there will be no business."

When Li Deyong heard this, he looked at Zhu Xu with great joy and said, "If the Emperor likes to eat this, then we don't have to worry about it, no matter how expensive it is!"

Zhu Xu had made up his mind from the very beginning, so it was naturally inconvenient to talk to Li Deyong, so he said slowly, "Well, how are the other four courtyards?"

Li Deyong's face suddenly became a little stiff, and he said: "Your Highness, the others are still being tested and encountered some troubles."

Although Daming's technology is very close to modern times, it is not easy to make what Zhu Xu needs in one go.He patted Li Deyong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, just test slowly and tell me when you're done."

"It's Your Highness." Li Deyong was greatly encouraged. If he were a soldier, he would probably kneel down to show his loyalty.

Suddenly, a black figure hurried in from outside.

Zhu Xu turned his head to look, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said, "Did you find it?"

Cao Wenzhao waved at Li Deyong, and after Li Deyong left wisely, he whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "Your Highness, Wei Zhongxian has gone to Zhou Yingqiu's residence."

"So it's this grandson..."

Zhu Xu let out a long sigh, the Ming Dynasty has talents, and there is Gu Bingqian in front of him, who is more than 70 years old and let his son be a grandfather for others, and this Zhou named Zhou is not far behind.Historically, Wei Zhongxian had ten dogs, and this one was the dog head, and the one who flattered him was Wei Zhongxian's nephew, Wei Liangqing.

However, this person is also extremely smart. At the beginning of the year, because he was worried about the impeachment of the Donglin Party, he confessed his illness early, but he didn't expect that he was still in the capital for so long and became Wei Zhongxian's behind-the-scenes military adviser.

"Your Highness, what shall we do?"

Cao Wenzhao asked beside Zhu Xu, he knew that Zhu Xu would never allow Wei Zhongxian to resurface.

Zhu Xu didn't expect it to be this one, he was as cunning as a fox, cautious and cautious, it was not so easy to get hold of him.

With her hands behind her back, Zhu Xu walked back and forth on the spot, thinking about it.

Zhou Yingqiu, this person is also unscrupulous for the sake of superiority, and his shamelessness is not weaker than Gu Bingqian.According to history, Gu Bingqian was the first assistant in the next year, and this was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and later transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

It is impossible to design him without meticulous and complete means.

After walking back and forth a few times, Zhu Xu suddenly raised his head and said, "Are there any old colleagues of yours who are patrolling the city tonight?"

Cao Wenzhao is an old subordinate of Liaodong, and was "robbed" by Zhu Xu when he returned to Beijing to report on his work.

He froze for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "The right guard should be patrolling the city today. It just so happens that there are a few former soldiers in there, and they all came back after being injured. The subordinates arranged to go in."

Zhu Xu nodded, his eyes brightened, and said: "Go and contact, and take Wei Zhongxian in front of Zhou Yingqiu's house. Be gentle, don't let anyone else know except Zhou Yingqiu. If someone takes it, let the patrol soldiers surround it immediately." Zhou Mansion, evacuate within a stick of incense."

Cao Wenzhao listened in a daze, and said, "Your Highness, what is the purpose of doing this?"

Zhu Xu pursed his lips, smiled like a little fox, and said, "Go ahead, you'll know later."

Cao Wenzhao is a very powerful executor, upon hearing the words, he immediately said: "It's Your Highness, I'll go there in person."

Looking at Cao Wenzhao's back, Zhu Xu felt very happy, so he started wandering around the yard again.

……

……

In the west of the city, the lights were dark, and a few right guards patrolling the city were hiding in the dark alleys.

"General Cao, you are the commander of the fourth rank."

"Yeah, we are still guards, and we don't even have any products."

"General, you can promote us again, we are all your old subordinates in Liaodong."

"That's right, you are the ones who meet the emperor casually, so it shouldn't be difficult to arrange things casually, right?"

Cao Wenzhao lay at the front, with three or two people beside him, talking in a low voice while staring at the back door of Zhou Mansion.

Cao Wenzhao's expression was serious, and he laughed when he heard the words: "As long as it is done well this time, you are guaranteed to have officials and money. However, whoever leaks a word about this matter will not end with beheading."

These people are all veterans, and one of them showed a fierce look, saying: "General, don't worry, we all came from Liaodong. We didn't kill our heads for any of the things we did. If we finish today, we won't remember anything tomorrow." !"

Cao Wenzhao nodded, and said: "Okay, I will send people to the place I arranged later. Tomorrow, I will go to Zhou's silk and satin shop in the east of the city. Each person will receive 1000 taels of silver. After the wind blows, I will make arrangements for you."

Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, 1000 taels, they may not be able to earn so much by touring the city for a lifetime!

Suddenly, the back door of the Zhou Mansion opened, and a man with a black robe covering his head came out quickly, looked left and right, and was about to get into the carriage not far away.

"When people come out, give me some cleverness."

When Cao Wenzhao saw it, he shouted in a low voice.

"Wait!"

One of them responded in a low voice, put the black cloth on his face, and silently unsheathed the bright knife, flattened behind him, and rushed towards the carriage at high speed.

All three are veterans, moving like the wind, silently.

"you……"

The groom who was driving noticed it immediately, and before he finished speaking, he saw a flash of light, a sharp blade appeared in front of his neck, and a cold and murderous voice rang in his ears: "If you don't want to die, don't talk!"

At the same time, the other two rushed towards the black-robed man. Just as the black-robed man was about to get into the carriage, he was shocked and said, "Who are you!"
