My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 417 Zhu Zhanhe's Condition
"Wu Guang, I'll give you this opportunity to take the blame and make meritorious deeds. If you can save the elder brother, I guarantee that your merits and demerits will be equalized, and you will not be punished for it in the future!"

Zhu Zhanhe stared at Wu Guang solemnly and exhorted.

"Your Majesty obeys, Your Highness Xie!"

Wu Guang bowed solemnly to Zhu Zhanhe excitedly, then turned and left.

Zhu Zhanhe sent Wu Guang to the cottage, discussed with the people in the cottage, and asked them to hand over Zhu Zhanji. Of course, Zhu Zhanhe promised that he could pay a certain amount of money as a ransom.

Wu Guang was also excited at this time. He moved in to rescue the soldiers but failed to take down the cottage. He was doomed to die, but Zhu Zhanhe gave him a chance. If he could trade with the people in the cottage and rescue Zhu Zhanji, then He doesn't have to worry about being liquidated in the future.

Thinking of this, Wu Guang finally found that compared to Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanhe, the prince, was indeed more tolerant. No wonder the people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang were willing to follow the prince. In contrast, the grandson couldn't say no. Okay, but compared with Shizi, it will be much worse.

Zhu Zhanhe watched Wu Guang leave, and felt rather disturbed in his heart, hoping that Zhu Zhanji would be blessed with good fortune and never die in the cottage.

But what people didn't expect was that just as Zhu Zhanhe sent Wu Guang away, someone suddenly came to report: "My lord, someone from the cottage came here and said that he wanted to discuss a business with us!"

"So fast?"

Zhu Zhanhe was taken aback for a moment, but then felt something was wrong, Wu Guang had just left, even if he could fly, it was impossible for him to fly to the cottage now.

"Could it be that the people in the cottage discovered the identity of the eldest brother, and they also wanted to go with me?"

Zhu Zhanhe whispered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

"Bring him in!"

Zhu Zhanhe immediately ordered, no matter what the reason, since the cottage sent someone, it means that Zhu Zhanji is probably still alive, and this is definitely a good opportunity.

After a while, a gentle-looking old man was brought in.

"My lord, I wonder if the lord can make the decision?"

After the old man walked in, he saluted Zhu Zhanhe first, and then asked very directly.

"What do you want me to do?"

Zhu Zhanhe didn't comment, but asked back.

"The person we caught was a royal family member, don't tell me you don't want to save him?"

The old man asked back with a smile, he was Tang Saier's uncle Xu Wengong, who came to deal with the government in person this time.

Hearing the old man say the word "royal family", Zhu Zhanhe's heart skipped a beat. It seems that Zhu Zhanji's identity has finally been exposed.

But fortunately, this group of thieves did not kill people to silence them, but wanted to trade with them, which means that Zhu Zhanji should still be alive, as long as the other party's conditions are met, they should be able to rescue the other party.

"Okay, then let's talk about the conditions openly and honestly, what do you want?"

Zhu Zhanhe no longer pretended to be confused, and fixed his eyes on Xu Wengong and asked.

"30 guan, pay with one hand, and pay with one hand!"

Xu Wengong also offered his conditions very readily.

"30? You guys are really greedy!"

Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows.

30 guan is not a small amount. Of course, as the grandson of Zhu Zhanji, let alone 30 guan, even 300 million guan is worth it.

"My lord, is it really expensive for a child of the royal family to cost only 30 guan?"

Xu Wengong asked back with a smile.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't agree immediately, but after pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said, "The Buddha mother in folklore should be behind you, right?"

"My lord, don't you think that inquiring about this will not increase the trust between the two parties, and may even make us do some radical things."

Xu Wengong's expression darkened when he heard the words, and he immediately threatened.

"Don't think too much, I don't have any hostility towards Mother Buddha and you people. On the contrary, I actually admire your actions. No matter what your motives are, you can give refuge to the refugees in the year of catastrophe. Porridge and relief, I admire very much, in comparison, the government everywhere is simply inferior to pigs and dogs!"

Zhu Zhanhe cursed angrily at the end.

After entering the territory of Shandong, he was shocked by what he saw and heard. Some places were almost eating people, but those officials were still covering up the real situation. Instead, he is helping the refugees. Even if he knows that the White Lotus Sect has kidnapped Zhu Zhanji, as long as the other party does not harm Zhu Zhanji's life, he can let him go.

Xu Wengong was taken aback when he heard the young man scolding the government, and then asked curiously, "Aren't you from the government?"

"I am a member of the imperial court, but among the hundreds of officials in the imperial court, there are everyone. Some are corrupt and pervert the law, deceive the superior and the inferior, and there are also those who are strong-hearted and plead for the people. I know that you are all hard-working people. If it weren't for the official persecution, and will not take this path, so I have great sympathy for you.”

Zhu Zhanhe said very frankly.

"There are still good people in the government? I don't believe it!"

Xu Wengong said stubbornly, but based on his experience, he found that this young man didn't seem to be lying?
"Whether you believe it or not, what I said is indeed the truth, and before you came, I also sent people up the mountain to make a deal with you and resolve this matter peacefully."

Zhu Zhanhe spread his hands and said again.

"Since you want to resolve this matter peacefully, why did you send troops to attack us before? I think you said this on purpose because you couldn't beat us. You want to win our trust?"

Xu Wengong said suspiciously again.

"It was Qingzhou Commander Gao Feng who attacked you. I just arrived here yesterday, and the person you kidnapped is a royal family. If necessary, I can mobilize more troops to encircle and suppress you, but I didn't."

Zhu Zhanhe patiently explained again.

"It's useless for you to say that, now we only want money, so please be happy, do you want to change people with money!"

At this time, Xu Wengong said a little irritably, he didn't want to hear Zhu Zhanhe say this anymore.

"Okay, I agree to take money to redeem people, but I have one condition!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded helplessly.

The reason why he patiently explained the above words to the other party was to win the favor of these people, because he felt that these people were of great use to him. Unfortunately, it seems that the other party is very wary now, and it is difficult for them to trust him.

"What are your conditions?"

Xu Wengong asked cautiously.

"When we're trading, I hope to see the Buddhist mother behind you, or that Miss Tang Sai'er Tang!"

Zhu Zhanhe stared at Xu Wengong with piercing eyes.

"how do you know……"

Xu Wengong was shocked when he heard the words, Tang Saier has been going around in the name of the Buddha's mother, and only a few people around her know her real name, but now the young man in the government has revealed Tang Saier's name in one word, which makes Xu Wengong How not to be surprised?
