Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 443: The Second Coming and the Choice of Zhu Liangzu

Sure enough, principles are meant to be broken.

Liu Banxian looked at Su Jing and said, "Mr. Su, just think of me as being kind. I'll tell you how this marriage will turn out!"

Su Jing turned around and smiled: "Then I wonder how you want to calculate it? Face and palm reading or birth date?"

Su Jing was very cooperative, which made Liu Banxian's expression change: "Mr. Su, you..."

Obviously, Su Jing was also willing to count, but she didn't give in and made ten coppers less!
"Liu Banxian, why, isn't fortune telling just a business? It's normal to use some means."

Su Jing had a smile on her face, still very satisfied with her little joke.

"Forget it, I, Liu Banxian, am not one to keep my word, so let's just go with my birth date."

Liu Banxian was helpless and could only accept it.

Su Jing immediately told Liu Banxian the birth date and birth date. Even though Su Jing was a modern person, she had lived in the Ming Dynasty for so long, so she still knew these things.

After Liu Banxian found out his birth date, he closed his eyes and began to pinch with his fingers. His expression became nervous and relaxed for a while.

"It's kind of like that."

Su Jing said lightly, then opened the door curtain and looked outside.

Carriages kept galloping out, and the scenery along the official road was mostly similar.

As the official way to Beijing, there are naturally other passers-by, but seeing this posture, anyone will stay away from it.

It can be said that this road is smooth.

"You probably don't have the guts to take action."

Su Jing thought secretly in her heart.

Although he knew that a marquis who was the real leader in fighting must be quite powerful.

But Zhu Liangzu probably didn't have the courage to escort this kind of convoy that Lao Zhu personally sent out his adopted son Mu Ying.

In other words, I have the courage but not the strength.

If you want to kill Su Jing in a forceful attack with this kind of lineup, you must have at least hundreds of private soldiers, and they must be the kind who just want to kill Su Jing regardless of the consequences.

Even so, the success rate will not exceed [-]%.

And the capital city is at the foot of the emperor, raising hundreds of private soldiers, which is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

In the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, Zhu Liangzu had just received the news that Su Jing was on the road, and Mu Ying personally led the troops to protect him.

He knew that there was no chance of taking action on this road.

However, if you do nothing, it seems like you are just sitting back and waiting to die.

How to do?
How to do?
How to do?
Zhu Liangzu was really anxious at this moment.

He had absolutely no idea how this case was being investigated and whether he had been exposed.

If before he was struggling with whether to intercept Su Jing halfway, now he was struggling with whether to directly seek peace with Su Jing.

First of all, it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Liangzu to escape. He is the Marquis of Yongjia, and his whole family is in the capital.

Now that the world is settled, he can sit back and enjoy the glory and wealth.

Running away at this time means giving up everything you have, which is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, the only way Zhu Liangzu can think of now is to seek peace himself.

However, others didn't know why Su Jing came to Beijing, but he did.

It must be to investigate the assassination.

If you want to sue for peace, you can only do it before Su Jing sees Zhu Yuanzhang. Otherwise, it will be too late.

But it is not easy to see Su Jing now.

Have to find a way!

It just so happened that finding a solution was Zhu Liangzu's weakness.

Without hesitating for too long, Zhu Liangzu directly chose to go out and ask for help.

Although the assassination of Su Jing cannot be discussed at all, but others can help think about how to meet Su Jing before entering the palace.

Time was running out, and Zhu Liangzu soon arrived at Hu Weiyong's residence.

Hu Weiyong is definitely a lot lower than the founding hero, but now he is also Zhongshu Zuocheng, and he has joined Zhu Yuanzhang not long after the uprising.

He still has some qualifications in the court.

However, looking at this mansion now, it seems that it is not quite worthy of his status.

The entire residence, with three entrances and three exits, is about a thousand square meters.

For ordinary people, it must be quite a huge courtyard, but for an official of Hu Weiyong's level, it is not very big.

Even some wealthy businessmen in the capital have larger yards than this.

"Yongjia Hou, what kind of wind has brought you here? Please come quickly, Lao Chen, and bring me the best Biluochun from my cabinet."

Hu Weiyong appeared eagerly and treated Zhu Liangzu with great enthusiasm.

In fact, he treats every visitor with great enthusiasm and seems to smile with everyone.

Zhu Liangzu's face was solemn. As soon as he sat down, he turned to Hu Weiyong and said, "Hu Zuocheng, I'm here to ask you for help with something."

To say that Zhu Liangzu really didn't understand the world at all, he came to ask for help, but he went straight to the point.

His relationship with Hu Weiyong was not as good as this.

Perhaps this is a common problem among military commanders.

Of course, Hu Weiyong didn't show any signs of confusion. He sat down and said, "Marquis Yongjia just said it bluntly."

Zhu Liangzu paused and said: "Hu Zuocheng, Uncle Renyuan is about to enter the capital. Can you please help Hu Zuocheng and let me meet him?"

"Ok?"

Hu Weiyong frowned, then relaxed and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter. When Uncle Renyuan comes to the palace and meets His Majesty, can I make arrangements for Marquis Yongjia?"

Zhu Liangzu immediately said: "No, Hu Zuocheng, I want to meet Uncle Ren Yuan before your majesty. Is it possible?"

This……

Hu Weiyong was silent for a moment and said: "Yongjiahou, I shouldn't ask, but since you are asking like this, it is difficult to tell the truth. I wonder what Yongjiahou is doing? Do you have to see Uncle Renyuan before His Majesty? ?”

Zhu Liangzu looked ugly. He definitely couldn't tell the truth, but making up a false reason was not what he was good at.

"Hu Zuocheng, I really can't tell you why. Just tell me whether this can be done."

Zhu Liangzu could only say this to Hu Weiyong, even though he knew that his request was a bit excessive.

"This one……"

Hu Weiyong frowned in thought, obviously it was difficult.

In fact, he had no idea why Su Jing came to Beijing to meet the saint.

Now it seems that it may have something to do with Zhu Liangzu.

"Is there nothing you can do? Hu Zuocheng?"

Zhu Liangzu looked at Hu Weiyong with an urgent expression. The only person he could think of to find a solution for him was Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong took a deep breath and said: "It's not that there's nothing we can do, it's just..."

This is not easy to do, and Hu Weiyong's meaning is obvious.

"Hu Zuocheng, don't worry. As long as you can help me this time, no matter what your instructions are in the future, it's okay!" At this time, Zhu Liangzu's emotional intelligence came back.

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "What did Marquis Yongjia say? You and I are officials in the same dynasty. Although this matter is difficult to handle, it can still be handled."

"As long as you can do it! I'm sorry to trouble you, Hu Zuocheng. I, Zhu Liangzu, will keep this great kindness in mind and will never forget it!"

Zhu Liangzu immediately said happily, with no concealment on his expression.

Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Liangzu who was so sensible and said with a smile: "Then Marquis Yongjia should go back first. Uncle Renyuan is already on his way back now. I have to make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Okay, please Hu Zuocheng."

Zhu Liangzu stood up and left Hu Weiyong's mansion in a cheerful mood.

As Zhu Liangzu left, the smile at the corner of Hu Weiyong's mouth slowly disappeared.

There must be an ulterior reason for Zhu Liangzu's abnormal behavior.

Even if Zhu Liangzu had promised to help, how could he be reliable in catching him with such an agreement?
Hu Weiyong thought for a moment, then got up and made arrangements.

It is not difficult to ask Zhu Liangzu to meet Su Jing as soon as he arrives in the capital, but it is not easy to say that it is simple.

Mainly judging from Zhu Liangzu's eager attitude, what Su Jing did when she came to Beijing was definitely not trivial.

In this case, Hu Weiyong needs to make some twists and turns and cannot involve himself in it.

Protect yourself wisely and ensure your own safety at all times. This is Hu Weiyong's principle as an official, and it is also the reason why he has been able to reach this position all the way.

……

In Chengyi's Mansion, Liu Bowen's news was slower, but he still knew that Su Jing was already on the way to Beijing.

"Your Majesty is so anxious to summon Mr. Su. Could it be that something else happened?"

Liu Bowen frowned and thought, he was quite concerned about Su Jing's matter.

For ordinary matters, there is definitely no need to summon Su Jing to Beijing.

Liu Bowen thought about it for a long time, but could not think of a more suitable thing.

But he was Liu Bowen after all, and he had already guessed that this matter was unusual.

I could know the news about Su Jing without asking for it, which can only mean that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately released it.

I'm afraid things are not simple.

Liu Bowen shook his head slightly: "What am I thinking about here? Mr. Su is such a person, no matter how big the matter is, it can be easily solved."

After that, he continued to delve into the morphological theory of social development.

Like Liu Bowen, officials in Beijing, large and small, began to learn about Su Jing's arrival in Beijing.

As the saying goes, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.

Although Su Jing is basically not in the capital, his reputation has already spread throughout the capital, and the name of Ren Yuanbo is even more resounding.

The reactions of various officials are naturally different.

People like Chang Yuchun who had a good relationship with Su Jing were naturally very happy and couldn't wait to see Su Jing.

Others, such as the civil servants of the Huaixi Group, were not very happy with Su Jing's appearance.

The reason is naturally mostly due to the complicated political situation.

Now in the Duke of Wei's mansion, Xu Da is sitting in the hall, looking quite confused.

"Father, why are you thinking so much?"

Xu Miaoyun looked at Xu Da and asked with concern.

Xu Da replied: "Miaoyun, Uncle Renyuan is about to enter the capital. Why do you think this is?"

"Mr. Su came to Beijing? Father, is this true?"

Xu Miaoyun immediately asked Xu Da, her expression full of surprise.

Xu Da nodded and said: "Yes, I think I should be on the way now. In a few hours, I will probably arrive in the capital."

"What's so strange about Mr. Su's visit to the capital? Everyone in the capital knows about His Majesty's appreciation for Mr. Su."

Xu Miaoyun said matter-of-factly.

Xu Da shook his head and said: "No, Miaoyun, if it were normal, my father wouldn't find it too strange. Not long ago, my father and your uncle Chang asked for credit for Uncle Ren Yuan. It was a normal thing. "

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun immediately realized that something was wrong. She hurriedly asked: "Father, what on earth is going on? It makes you so confused?"

Xu Da said: "This time Ren Yuanbo came to the capital not by himself, but by someone sent by His Majesty. The person sent was Mu Ying from the Governor's Mansion, who led troops."

Mu Ying of the Governor's Office!

Xu Miaoyun still knows something about Muying, and they had some interactions with her when they were children.

"Brother Mu actually led the troops there. Does your Majesty want to arrest Mr. Su?"

Xu Miaoyun suddenly became nervous.

Xu Da shook his head and said: "Definitely not. I sent Muying there to protect Uncle Ren Yuan."

Protect?

Xu Miaoyun was puzzled again: "Father, what do you mean? Why do you want to send Brother Mu to protect Mr. Su, or to lead troops? Lishui County is not very far from the capital, isn't it?"

Xu Miaoyun had been to Lishui County, and the first time she and Su Jing met was in Lishui County.

A day's journey, based on ancient traffic speeds, is already a fairly short distance.

For this short distance, it would be quite strange to say something unexpected.

After all, it is near the capital, and the security level in all aspects is relatively high.

"This is the strange thing about being a father. With Uncle Ren Yuan's identity, how can ordinary people dare to attack him? This is the capital, so there is no need to send Mu Ying to lead the troops."

Xu Da said in a deep voice: "But His Majesty always has reasons for his actions. This matter should not be simple."

As Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted general, Xu Dana has accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang from the beginning to the present, and his level of understanding is extremely high.

The more this happens, the more strange Xu Da becomes. Why?
"Could it be that something happened in Lishui County?"

Xu Miaoyun quickly thought of a possibility: "And this matter involves Mr. Su's safety, so His Majesty sent Brother Mu to escort him."

Xu Da nodded and said: "As a father, I think so too, but Uncle Renyuan is not an ordinary person. What could endanger his safety?"

Xu Da also admired Su Jing's greatness.

For a moment, he could not imagine what kind of danger Su Jing would encounter in Lishui County, which made Zhu Yuanzhang so worried that he even sent troops to protect him.

Xu Miaoyun thought seriously and said: "Father, my daughter thinks that there must be some joints that we don't know about. We will probably know about it when Mr. Su comes to Beijing."

"Why, Miaoyun, you don't seem to be so nervous about Mr. Su now?"

Xu Da looked at Xu Miaoyun and smiled.

Xu Miaoyun had a very bad attitude towards Su Jing before. Xu Da thought that Xu Miaoyun might have other thoughts about Su Jing.

Although Xu Miaoyun is still young, her daughter is much more precocious in mind than the leading woman.

Xu Miaoyun replied: "Father, my daughter only has respect and admiration for Mr. Su. You should not think too much about it."

Regarding Xu Da's thoughts, Xu Miaoyun was not polite at all and exposed them directly.

"Uh...this..."

Xu Da looked a little embarrassed and said, "Being a father is just a casual comment. It has no other meaning."
