Chapter 5: Surgery on Grandpa
  Qian Tonghe bit out his grandfather and Jin Yiwei commander Tong Yangxing, which was a difficult matter.

The father-in-law is easy to handle, but raising Tong is difficult.

Tong Yangxin, first surrendered to Li Zicheng, and then to the Manchus. He was an out-and-out rebel, and he would kill him sooner or later.

However, he doesn't dare to offend him now, because he has 50,000 imperial guards in his hands. If the boy is pushed into a panic by him, it will be bad if he directly rebels when the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil and the royal dignity is no longer there.

If you can't touch him, then you can touch the father-in-law's own grandfather. They are all members of your own family. Is that easy?

The father-in-law had a high position but was actually powerless. He just needed someone to scare the monkeys and set an example for debtors.

If you want to scare the monkeys all over the mountains and plains, you need to use a chicken that is large enough, preferably a peacock or phoenix. Grandpa Zhou Kui is just right. The power of role models is huge, and the higher the status of the role model, the better the effect. The more he dared to torture and forcibly confine his father-in-law, the more he showed his determination. Show yourself that when it comes to debt collection, you treat everyone equally regardless of relative or distance.

As for Zhou Kui being his grandfather, whose grandfather are you? You are the grandpa with Zhu Cijiong in body, not the master with Lu Mou in body and mind. For this reason, Lu Mou had no psychological shadow at all.

Zhou Kui came, and he really didn't understand what his third grandson was doing in the household department when he wanted to see him, not in person, let alone summoned by the palace.

As soon as he entered the household department, he saw tied up officials all over the yard, and then saw Zhu Cijiong looking at him with a smile. He suddenly felt like a chicken being stared at by a little fox, which made Zhou Kui feel hairy all over.

He took on the posture of a grandpa and asked in a pretentious manner: "My dear grandson, why can't you tell me something at home? Why did you tell me at the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Lu Mou bared his teeth and smiled: "Grandpa, let me ask you, you owe the household department 310,000 taels of silver. It's time to pay it back. Don't say you have no money. My good grandson knows your family background. I and my My little cousin, I even secretly visited your family’s silver hoard."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kui felt relieved.

After taking a look at the tied official, he knew what was going on: "You didn't even kidnap your grandfather to force him into debt, right? That's disobedience, that's treason."

"Zhou Kui." Lu Mou suddenly shouted loudly and smashed his fist on the table. Although the force was small and did not make much noise, the momentum was very strong.

Zhou Kui's heart trembled.

"Now you are the Jiading uncle of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the factory director of the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty. I am an imperial envoy with an order to collect the debts owed by the court. We are not relatives, and we have business affairs."

As soon as this statement came out, the officials all over the courtyard were shocked. Why did this little prince make such excuses so suddenly?

To us officials, you said that the relationship between you and us is not between an official and a prince, but between a debtor and a creditor. However, when it comes to your grandpa, how come it suddenly becomes a relationship between a prince and an earl? .

This is an unprincipled scoundrel, or a little scoundrel. Scoundrels are the hardest to deal with. Today, there is going to be a good show.

Faced with his third grandson's troubles, Zhou Kui, the head of the state, immediately showed his confidence. I am the head of the state, whose face should I be afraid of? Enter the palace and ask the Emperor and Queen for mercy.”

Lu Mou chuckled: "As the head of the state, you should understand the hardships of the emperor and the queen. At this time when the country is about to be destroyed and the family is about to be destroyed, how can you just watch your son-in-law's empire collapse? It's the truth that you can't help it. Understand."

Zhou Kui frowned: "The country rises and falls, I have no position or power, what does it have to do with me? As the head of the country, I have to enjoy the grace and care of the country."

As soon as this statement came out, not only Lu Mou, but also the officials in the courtyard despised Zhou Kui's character. Are there any such heartless and unjust people in this world? Don’t you know that even if the skin is gone, the hair is still there? Your son-in-law is gone, what kind of heir are you still? Whose heir is he?

But looking at his posture, the father-in-law would rather have money than a son-in-law. Now it’s okay, let’s see what you, Prince Ding, do.

Lu Mou was even more disgusted. The little affection in his heart was gone. Your daughter and son-in-law were forced to commit suicide, and you couldn't make a living. In the end, Li Zicheng took advantage of you. So what do I have to worry about?
  He waved his little hand and said: "The grace of the imperial court has been given to you, but it does not mean that you can use the name of the father-in-law to arbitrarily refuse to repay the debt. What's more, being ruthless and unjust just now is not the words of a human being. You are just a little beast. Come on. They have tied up Zhou Kui and are preparing to execute him and force him to do so."

Just as a few eunuchs were about to step forward, Zhou Kui glared: "You bunch of dog slaves, you are my royal family slaves, how dare you."

Several eunuchs really didn't dare, so they looked at King Ding with their necks curled up.

Lu Mou slapped the table and immediately changed his words: "Based on what he just said, he is no longer the head of the royal family. He is our family's debtor. Our family is waiting for the rice to be put into the pot to save lives. Otherwise, we can't go back." If we don't pay, our country will be destroyed and our family will be destroyed, and we will all die. Since we are all about to die, what are we afraid of? Let's take action."

Zhou Kui's defense just now chilled the hearts of these eunuchs, and they were already itching for him.

Hearing what the factory director Dingwang said, his hatred for the same enemy was even more aroused. Without saying a word, he swarmed up and tied up Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui jumped to his feet and cursed, but Lu Mou turned a deaf ear and directly ordered one of his men: "Go, send a notice to the uncle of the emperor, tell Zhou Yinglong to bring 310,000 cash in cash and come here to redeem his old age within an hour." Dad. If you don’t come on time, get a hammer and hammer a nail into your butt.”

The current head of the Guozhang Mansion is Linzi Hou Guojiu Zhou Yinglong. This guy is greedy and stingy, and is known to be desperate for money. Just like his father, he will amass money and land, and he doesn't care whether the Ming Dynasty is subjugated or not.

In the end, just like his father, he watched his family's money being confiscated by Li Zicheng, and felt heartbroken.

When the news reached Zhou Yinglong's ears, he was shocked. He jumped up and cursed at the little eunuch who was delivering the order: "What, you have to ask me for the debt? You've betrayed his little bastard. Go back and tell me You bastard, it doesn’t matter whether you have money or your life, his grandpa has one, so he likes it.”

This guy didn't give himself any money, but he risked his father's life.

The second child, Huainan Hou, couldn't stand it: "Brother, this seems inappropriate."

When the young eunuch saw him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there is finally someone in the Zhou family who is humane.

Zhou Yinglong glared at his second brother: "What's wrong?"

"Brother, after all, the manor that my sister gave him is still in his name. If he sees that you refuse to save him and gives the inheritance to that bastard outside, wouldn't we lose money? That's a few years a year An income of ten thousand taels of silver."

Zhou Yinglong thought about it and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Little brat Zhu Laosan doesn't care about family ties, but my sister has always been filial to my father. Let's go and beg my sister and let her forgive the money we borrowed from the treasury, and that'll be the end of it."

"Well, I am filial to my sister, and the little bastard is also filial to my sister. That's how it is done. Let's go into the palace, find my sister, and ask him to forgive our debts. At the same time, we can blackmail the old immortal and take his name. hand over the property."
