Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 14
Auntie Zhu was really hungry, she took a look at Hao Guangming with a noodle fork, and started to eat.

If there are other people around, she must be embarrassed to eat like this in front of a man.

But now it was only her and Hao Guangming, and Hao Guangming was her fiancé, so she felt much more relaxed.

After eating the instant noodles, Auntie Zhu's eyes lit up.

As a princess, she has eaten a lot of delicious food.

Of course, because Chongzhen repeatedly reduced the expenses in the palace, her usual food would not be too extravagant, and it could even be said to be simple.

In addition, there are condiments that Daming does not have in the instant noodles, which are very stimulating to the taste, and Aimee Zhu finds it delicious, even surpassing the various delicacies she ate before.

After taking a few mouthfuls, she looked up and saw Hao Guangming smiling and watching. She couldn't help feeling annoyed at her impoliteness, so she asked, "Have Mr. Hao eaten dinner? Do you want to eat together?"

Hao Guangming said, "I was full just now at Uncle Ma's house, so I'm not hungry right now."

"Who is Uncle Ma?"

"It's a neighbor in my village. I basically eat at his house these days."

Auntie Zhu nodded and continued eating instant noodles.

At this time, Hao Guangming opened the spicy strips next to him and said, "This spicy strips are also delicious, do you want to try it?"

"it is good."

So Hao Guangming tore open the package of hot strips, squeezed out one and presented it to Aimee Zhu.

Auntie Zhu looked at it, hesitated a little, then opened her mouth and ate the spicy stick.

Hao Guangming's eyes straightened.

Aimee Zhu keenly felt his gaze, and her pretty face blushed immediately.

Hao Guangming came back to his senses at this moment, and said, "Actually, I want you to eat with your hands..."

Hearing this, Auntie Zhu's face turned even redder, right up to her neck.

Hao Guangming felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he coughed and asked, "How does it taste?"

"good to eat."

In fact, Aimee Zhu didn't have any thoughts in her mouth at all at this moment.

But when she came back to her senses, she really felt that the spicy strips were delicious, more stimulating to the taste buds than instant noodles.

Hao Guangming also took a spicy stick to eat, and said with a smile: "In fact, instant noodles and spicy sticks are junk food, and I rarely eat them. But once in a while, I really feel delicious. For you who never For those who have eaten it, it tastes even better."

Auntie Zhu didn't know how to answer, so she ate instant noodles with her head down.

···
Ming dynasty.

Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to send someone to trick Zhou Kui into the palace according to Hao Guangming's method.

People like Zhou Kui are not only greedy for money, but also afraid of death.

As for losing his life because of greed for money, it was purely because he was too stupid to understand the situation, not because he was not afraid of death.

Therefore, Zhou Kui panicked when he heard that the people sent by Wang Chengen said that Chongzhen was going to lead the elite to break out of the capital, and only a few people.

"Your Majesty wants to break out of the city? You must wait for me, I am the head of the country." Zhou Kui nervously said to the eunuch in Jiadingbo's mansion.

The eunuch who delivered the decree was also carefully selected by Wang Chengen, and it can be said that he has superb acting skills.

He earnestly said: "Uncle Jiading, breaking out of the city is just a race for time, there is no delay, so you should bring your relatives and some valuables into the palace as soon as possible."

"One hour!" Zhou Kui raised a finger, looked at the eunuch who passed the decree and said, "I will definitely enter the palace within one hour!"

"This..." the eunuch Chuanzhi said with a embarrassed expression, rubbing his two fingers continuously, obviously wanting to benefit.

However, Zhou Kui acted as if he hadn't seen it.

'If you refuse to give any benefits, you deserve to be targeted by Lord Long Live! '

Cursing inwardly, the eunuch passed the decree and said: "Okay, our family will report back to the Lord Long Live for you, but you have to act quickly, the Lord Long Live will really not wait for anyone if it is late."

"I know, I know." Zhou Kui waved his hand, wanting the eunuch to leave quickly.

After the eunuch passing the decree left, Zhou Kui's eldest son, Zhou Yuanjie, came over and said, "Father, since His Majesty wants to break through, let's hurry up and clean it up?"

Zhou Kui said: "What's the hurry? I am the queen's father, and you are the queen's elder brother. I don't believe that His Majesty will not wait for us."

After finishing speaking, he began to direct the servants at home to pack the Tibetan silver jewelry in the cellar.

In half an hour, dozens of boxes were packed.

Zhou Kui's two sons were also very greedy and obeyed Zhou Kui's orders, so the family didn't think it was a problem to bring so many boxes of silver when they fled for their lives.

Jiading Bo's mansion was busy up and down, and no one noticed that there were a few more disguised Jinyiwei guarding outside.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Yuanjie reported to Zhou Kuihui: "Father, all the treasures at home are packed. There are more than 100 boxes, plus luggage, it will take more than a dozen carts to finish it."

"Did you miss anything?" Zhou Kui asked.

"No, the rest are worthless things."

Zhou Kui sat in the room, looked around at the various mahogany and pear wood furniture, and other items that could not be taken away, eyes full of reluctance, and couldn't help muttering: "It's all money, it's all money. "

At this time, Zhou Yuanfen, the second son of the Zhou family, also came in and urged: "Father, everything is ready outside, let's go to the palace to join my sister, if they can't wait to leave first, our house will be over."

Zhou Kui gritted his teeth and waved, "Let's go!"

As a result, nearly 20 large carts and hundreds of people from the Zhou family headed for the palace.

Chongzhen was still very kind to this old man, so Jiadingbo Mansion is right next to the imperial city.

The Jinyi soldiers guarding the imperial city had already received orders from above. When they saw the convoy from Jiadingbo Mansion approaching, they asked their identities and let them in.

After entering the imperial city, Zhou Kui couldn't help but said to his two sons, "Why do I feel something wrong?"

The second son Zhou Yuanfen said: "We have all entered the imperial city, what's wrong?"

Holding a small box of jewels tightly in his arms, Zhou Kui said, "If His Majesty wants to break through, he must leave the imperial city, so why don't you ask us to meet outside instead of going to the imperial palace?"

Zhou Yuanjie on the side said: "Perhaps His Majesty is afraid that we will be left behind, and wants us to stay among the breakout troops and protect us?"

"No..." Zhou Kui still felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Not long after, the Zhou family motorcade was brought directly to the Hall of Martial Heroes.

Chongzhen, on the other hand, led a team of brocade-clothed soldiers and several eunuchs and eunuchs to stand on the steps, looking condescendingly here with a dark face.

"Uncle Jiading, didn't you cry poor when I asked you to donate your salary before? Then what are those boxes on the car?"

Hearing this, Zhou Kui was struck by lightning for an instant, his mind rang loudly, and he finally figured out what was wrong.

Just as Chongzhen said, he cried poor and said he had no money before, but now he brings almost all of his family wealth to Chongzhen. Doesn’t it mean that his previous excuses for not donating are all false?

This should be said to Dali, but he has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!

Seeing Zhou Kui's face turned pale, Chongzhen snorted coldly, and shouted: "Zhou Kui, you should have died for deceiving the emperor, but because you are the head of the state, I will spare your life.

Come, take all the members of the Zhou family into custody in the palace cell, and count the property of the Zhou family as soon as possible! "

When Chongzhen gave an order, the Jinyi soldiers and eunuchs who had been waiting for a long time moved immediately.

Although the Zhou family also hired dozens of nurses, how dare they fight Jin Yi's own army in this palace?All obediently bowed their heads and captured them.

Zhou Kui came back to his senses, his face was pale and his lips were trembling, but he didn't dare to say anything about Chongzhen, but looked at the dozens of carts with great reluctance, and kept saying: "My money, my money... ·”

After Zhou Kui's family was taken away, the young eunuchs began to count their property.

Because Chongzhen and Wang Chengen were watching from the sidelines, not only did no one dare to hide property privately, but the work efficiency was also improved a lot.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the approximate value of the property of the Zhou family's dozen or so carts was calculated.
