Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 359 Laba Banquet

Who is Luo Guanzhong?Back then Zhang Shicheng's military adviser, this kind of dictatorship object of the Ming Dynasty, how did he become a court eagle?

what does that mean?The Ming Dynasty has not yet entered its tenth year, and even the people around King Zhang have stopped insisting...

What made the big family even more uneasy was that they found two old acquaintances standing next to Luo Guanzhong, Shen Rong and Gu Yuanchen.

Although the two of them are much older, the big family in the south of the Yangtze River will not admit their mistakes.

If it is said that Luo Guanzhong's appearance, it just made everyone in the audience sigh.The appearance of these two made many people restless.

Needless to say, Shen Rong, the wealth of the Shen family, which rivals the rest of the world, was carved up by these people in the audience.

As for Gu Yuanchen, the big family in Suzhou is known as "Gu Lu". The Gu family and the Lu family are side by side.Before the Gu family was moved to Fengyang, Gu Yuanchen asked Lu Zhonghe to help him manage his property.

He was worried that if he disposed of it in a hurry, the price would be too high, so he asked the Lu family to sell it slowly.In the end, the Lu family really didn't let others cheat them, because the Lu family ate all the property of the Gu family for nothing...

Lu Zhonghe's calculations were well calculated. Anyway, the Gu family will never return... Even if they have a chance to come back, he is sure to mess with them... If that is the case, why waste money?
He didn't expect to meet Gu Yuanchen again on this occasion.When I thought about what I was talking about just now, the first sentence the Buddha said after he became enlightened.His face was on fire, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to get in.

Zhu Zhen seemed to understand Lu Zhonghe's psychology, stared at him with a smile and asked, "Then what does this mean?"

"That's right." Lu Zhonghe didn't dare to raise his head, and said with difficulty: "It's the literal meaning—all sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they can't prove the Tathagata because of delusion and persistence. If you can get rid of delusion, Even without the guidance of a master, one can become a Buddha..."

"Okay, well said." Zhu Zhen gave him a thumbs-up, then glanced at the big households in the field and said: "I see that everyone here has the wisdom of the Tathagata, and everyone can become a Buddha!"

"Hehe..." All the big households said awkwardly: "Your Highness has won the prize."

"I just don't know, everyone," he changed the subject again, "Can you let go of the delusions and attachments in your heart, and build a beautiful and harmonious city with me?"

Seeing that His Royal Highness Chu Wang finally asked the question, all the big households looked at Lu Zhonghe and Xie Yunzhang one after another.

The latter stood up unhurriedly and said: "So that Your Highness will know that we are all responsible for farming and studying in the family. We have a few acres of Susukida in our family, and we have been farming and mulberry for generations. We don't know anything about shipping and shipping. .”

"That's right, His Highness telling us about Shibosi is tantamount to asking Yu Blind." All the big households echoed.

"Whether the Shibo Department is open or closed is a matter decided by the imperial court. Ordinary people like me have nothing to say." Lu Zhonghe also said slowly: "Whether Your Highness is in charge of the Shibo Department or the Salt Transportation Department, we are law-abiding citizens." Everyone will support it, please rest assured, Your Highness."

"Hehe, okay, this old man speaks really nicely." Zhu Zhen raised his thick eyebrows, as if suppressing his anger, and smiled again after a while:
"Actually, according to legend, there is another origin of this Laba porridge. It is said that my father invented it. You know, my father is a great inventor. He invented many things like moon cakes, peeling the skin and pulling grass, and so on. I don't know if it's true or not.

"But about the Laba porridge, he said it himself. He said that when he was a child, there was a big winter, and he lost a cow from the landlord... yes, that Liu De's family. Although he found it later, Liu De still put him Lock him in the cowshed and don't let him eat or drink.

"It was freezing cold at that time, my father was cold and hungry, and he was about to die. Suddenly he found a mouse hole in the corner of the cowshed, and he dug it out. Guess what happened? He took out a lot of red beans and rice. , red dates... There are eight kinds of whole grains. My father boiled these things into porridge. Because that day was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was named Laba porridge.

"My father said that Liu De was poor all day long, and he only ate one kind of coarse grain in front of outsiders. But he didn't expect that all the grain he saved was stolen by the mouse. Of course, the mouse didn't eat it, and it was cheaper for me in the end. My father." Zhu Zhen said indifferently, his sharp eyes swept across the crowd and said:
"Tell me, what is that Liu De planning, and what is that nest of mice planning?"

"..." Everyone in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay, many of them didn't know what Lao Liu meant by this.

Even if someone understands, they don't dare to answer the words, they can only pretend to be confused by pretending to understand.

"It seems that you don't have Liu De who doesn't tell the truth, nor are you a mouse who steals." Zhu Zhen smiled teasingly and asked, "Is my king right?"

"That's right, that's right, of course." Everyone nodded hurriedly.

"I'll ask you one last time," Zhu Zhen paused, "Among you, are there any maritime merchants, or do you have business dealings with them?"

"No, absolutely not." All the big households answered firmly.

Well. "Zhu Zhen waved his hand, and soldiers came out with trays.

All the rich householders thought that the food was finally served, but unexpectedly what was put on the table was a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

"Your Highness, this is..." They looked at the sixth child in confusion.

"Because I hate others to lie to me the most. Since you all say that you are not a maritime merchant, then you can use your words as evidence." Zhu Zhen said flatly: "I say something, and you write something—"

"I guarantee that my whole family is absolutely not a maritime merchant, and has no business dealings with maritime merchants, let alone any other collusion. If what is said is not true, I am willing to be severely punished by the national law, and the punishment will be prescribed, and there will be no complaints!"

As he spoke, his gaze became sharper, and he said with a piercing heart: "Anyone who dares not to write is blatantly deceiving this king, and this king will throw him into this porridge pot and add another treasure to the eight-treasure porridge!"

"Write!" The sergeants with the trays shouted in unison.

"Your Highness, isn't this appropriate?" Lu Zhonghe protested: "We said that it has nothing to do with maritime merchants, but it doesn't matter. The clean will be clean, and the turbid will be dirty. Why do we need to write a letter of guarantee? This is a humiliation to us! "

"You bastard!" Zhu Zhen said coldly: "You have said three times that you have nothing to do with Haishang, but you dare not write down your guarantee in black and white. This only shows that you are full of lies and have nothing to do with Haishang!"

"It doesn't matter, old man, but I just don't write!" Lu Zhonghe was so angry that he dropped his pen and got up to leave the table.

But he was held down by two sergeants by the shoulders and remained motionless.

Then Lao Liuyi waved his hand and said, "Throw him into the porridge pot."

"How dare you?!" Lu Zhonghe was lifted up, and immediately screamed palely: "The ruling and opposition guilds...will pay for your life!"

"Just because of you, you are worthy of my king's life?" Zhu Zhen scratched his ears indifferently and said, "If I boil you, I will be scolded by my father at most and locked up for a few days. What's more, you have provoked this king several times. , my brothers will testify for me."

"..." Seeing that his head was about to be plunged into the porridge pot, Lu Zhonghe hurriedly screamed, "Don't, I'll write, I can't do it!"
