Zhu Houzhao, the lonely Ming Dynasty, angrily snatched Yan Shenggong at the beginning!

Chapter 47 It's Difficult To Be An Official, But It's Even Harder To Be An Official Of Ming Dynasty!
"Master Xie, are your eyes uncomfortable? Why are you staring so wide? Is there something uncomfortable? I'll ask the accompanying imperial physician to look at it for you!"

Zhu Houzhao, who pretended not to understand what it meant, looked at Xie Qian with concern.

Xie Qian: "..."

Which of us has eyesight problems?

What do I mean don't you understand?

My little ancestor, you can't let me be free for two days!
I just finished wiping my butt on my front foot, and you pulled a puddle on my back foot. Are you torturing the Kong family?You are torturing me!

Xie Qian took a deep breath and showed a smile uglier than crying.

"It's okay, maybe I slept late yesterday, and my eyes are a little uncomfortable."

Kong Hongxu: My coffin book!

"Oh, then Master Xie, you should pay attention to rest, but don't hurt your body, the father is still waiting for you to help him with the state affairs."

Zhu Houzhao looked suddenly enlightened, and said a few more words of concern.

Xie Qian's mouth twitched.

Returning the government affairs of the country, your crap is enough to give me a headache.

I don't know what bad things I did in my previous life, and how I met you two in this life.

A good one is outrageous, and a ghost is not like a human being.

Alas, it's really hard to live, it's even harder to be an official of Ming Dynasty, and it's even harder to meet these two men.

Ignoring Xie Qian who looked sad, Zhu Hou took care of Kong Hongxu.

"Mr. Kong, I see that you have a sad face, and there are some whispers in the mansion. What happened?"

"Ugh!"

Kong Hongxu sighed without saying a word, and said with a distressed and worried face: "Your Highness doesn't know something. When you went out for an outing in the past few days, my brother encountered a gangster when he was out on business. Now he was kidnapped by the gangster, and his life and death are still unknown."

As he spoke, he picked up the letter on the table again, and handed it to Zhu Houzhao with both hands.

"Your Highness, look, this is a letter from a villain, requesting the release of the murderers who harmed my Kong family, and asking my family to redeem my brother with 80 taels of silver."

"I have pity on my Kong family. They are descendants of saints. They don't care about worldly affairs. They often donate to the village and reduce or exempt land taxes. I didn't expect so many disasters to happen in a short period of time."

"I really don't know what bad things my Kong family did, or who offended someone, and suffered such a disaster."

The more Kong Hongxu spoke, the more bitter he became, and finally he covered his face and sobbed in a low voice.

"There is such a thing!"

Zhu Houzhao exclaimed, took the letter handed over by the other party, and looked at it hastily.

When looking at the content, Zhu Houzhao's face still had a lot of changes.

One moment of anger, one moment of shock, and finally a frown.

"It doesn't look like it's pretending. Could it be that this little ancestor didn't do it?"

Xie Qian, who received the letter from Zhu Houzhao and stared at Zhu Houzhao's expression closely, hesitated when he saw this.

"How presumptuous!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhu Houzhao threw the letter on the ground angrily with a small face.

"You little villain dares to threaten the imperial court. Do you really think the imperial court is a paper tiger?"

"And what are Shandong officials doing for food? So many things happened in just a few days, it can be seen how incompetent these officials are in office, so that Shandong has such evil forces."

"Shandong is so close to Gyeonggi, and it's also the hometown of saints. Can they live up to the trust of the emperor? Are they worthy of the teachings of saints?"

Glancing at Xie Qian who had been staring at him, Zhu Houzhao scolded Shandong officials for their incompetence.

The corner of Xie Qian's mouth twitched and he said: It seems that before you came to Shandong, although there were a few minor problems in the land of Shandong, it was not so chaotic. After you came, so many things happened, I think it is time to reflect It shouldn't be those officials, but you!

"Master Xie, what do you think of this matter?"

After scolding the Shandong officials, Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at Xie Qian.

Xie Qian: Hehe, what do I think, I sat and watched.

Although I deeply suspect that Zhu Houzhao did it, I can't talk nonsense without evidence, and even if Zhu Houzhao did it, what can he do, he just wants to wipe his ass honestly.

Alas, what did the Kong family do to offend this little ancestor, and let this little ancestor target him so much.

"This matter concerns the safety of Yan Shenggong. Although I really want to send troops to suppress these villains, but Yan Shenggong is in their hands. If something happens, I can't afford it."

Zhu Houzhao nodded in agreement, "So, Master Xie is planning to pay money to redeem him."

Xie Qian sighed helplessly, "Although I feel unwilling, it's the only way to go."

"When Yan Shenggong returns safely, we will have time to arrest these villains. I believe that the safety of Yan Shenggong's life should be the most important thing, and the others can be tolerated temporarily."

Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and expressed his thoughts.

"Master Xie's words are justified. Although the villain is very angry at provoking the imperial court, Duke Yansheng is the most important thing. As long as Duke Yansheng can return safely, other issues are irrelevant."

"And 80 taels of silver is not a small amount. Even if the transaction with them is completed, if the bandits want to take it away easily, they will definitely leave traces."

"At that time, as long as Yan Shenggong is safe, we can follow the traces, catch up with those villains and wipe them out."

"In this way, the money will not be lost, Duke Yansheng will be safe, and the villains will be wiped out. It will kill three birds with one stone!"

Kong Hongxu, who was sobbing softly at the side, became more and more wrong the more he heard it.

Good guy, you didn't pay for the co-authorship, so you don't feel sorry for it, do you?

My family members are here, and you have settled the matter without even asking, isn't it a bit inappropriate.

Shouldn't you seek the opinions of my family members?Maybe I disagree?

Well, although he really didn't want to agree, if he dared to speak out, his hope of recovering his title might be gone. As for the money given to Xie Qian, it was probably in vain.

Kong Hongxu only hoped that those gangsters would lose their temper and get rid of his younger brother before the two parties redeemed him, and then the crown prince was furious and sent troops to directly encircle and suppress him.

In this way, the money is saved, and no one will compete with him for the position, and the younger brother's revenge can be regarded as revenge.

It really kills three birds with one stone.

Oh, yes!

This method is not bad!

Kong Hongxu's eyes lit up slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What do you think, Mr. Kong?"

Just when Kong Hongxu was thinking about how to find those villains and make this deal with them.

The two who had finished discussing at the side looked at him.

"Eh..." Kong Hongxu was stunned for a moment, and under the puzzled expressions of the two, he quickly restrained the smile on his lips, showing a sad expression.

"The old man's heart is in a mess right now, he is always concerned about my brother, and his thoughts have been messed up."

"However, the old man also thinks that His Highness and Bachelor Xie have a good idea. Please leave this matter to His Highness and Bachelor Xie. Please make sure that my brother returns safely."

After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to the two of them.

Zhu Hou looked at the old man who was saluting, and looked at Xie Qian with a strange expression.

Zhu Houzhao: He seemed very happy just now, did you see that?
Xie Qian: Nonsense, he wished for his brother to die, so that the position of Yan Shenggong would return to his lineage.

Zhu Houzhao: Good guy, is this the grievances and hatreds of the deep house compound?

Xie Qian: What is this? I have seen more disgusting things than this. I will tell you about it later. After listening to it, it will make you doubt your life.

Soon the three of them made a decision.

The Kong family prepared 80 as quickly as possible, ready to redeem people.

On Xie Qian's side, he was mobilizing the soldiers and horses in the surrounding guards, making preparations for the breakdown of the negotiation and immediate action, or for chasing the enemy afterwards.

After the arrangement was finalized, the two sent Kong Hongxu away to prepare the money, and then returned to the house and closed the door.

"Your Highness, why did you make another move this time? Aren't you short of money?"

The door was closed, and Xie Qian directly blocked Zhu Houzhao.

He couldn't take it anymore, he really wanted to drag this troublemaker back to the palace, find a cold palace for a few years, and let His Highness calm down.

Zhu Houzhao blinked, so he looked at Xie Qian suspiciously.

"Master Xie, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?"

Seeing that the other party was still pretending to be confused, Xie Qian said angrily: "Does Your Highness have to ask the minister to clarify?"

Zhu Houzhao spread his hands, "I really don't know what you're talking about?"

Xie Qian took a few deep breaths, opened the door and took a look outside to make sure there was no one there, turned around and closed the door, looking at Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Highness, tell me the truth, did you have someone kidnap Kong Hongtai?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have been wronged so much, and looked at Xie Qian with tears in his eyes.

"Master Xie, although you are my lecturer, I have always regarded you as my relatives, but I didn't expect you to look at me like this."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Houzhao wiped away tears, opened the door angrily, and walked out. When he came to the door, he looked back at the bewildered Xie Qian, with a few teardrops hanging on his cute face, and said aggrievedly: "As you Teacher, you can doubt my student's knowledge, but you should never question my student's character and morality, thank you master, you really broke Zhao'er's heart this time!"

Xie Qian: "..."
