Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 225
In fact, Xichang is not short of money now. After killing Wang Dengku, Hu Jiucheng followed Ye Xun's instructions and took all the previous Wang family's north-south trade routes into his own. The goods from the south are transported to the north, and the goods from the north are sold to the south, so as to earn the price difference.

But Ye Xun couldn't hand over this business route, because not only Xichang, but also many places in Liaodong needed silver, and the silver taels that were allotted by the imperial court were not enough at all.

This time, Ye Xun took the opportunity to raise money for the Ministry of Households, and was going to put his hand into the shipping trade.

The business affairs of an official's family is already an open secret in the officialdom. Otherwise, with only the little salary of the court, how can they raise concubines and spend their time outside?Moreover, as a Beijing official, there are many things to welcome and send to the scene. Without these extra income, the officials would not be able to survive at all.

But after all, there are only a small number of people who have access to shipping, but these few are all high-ranking officials in the court and even relatives of the emperor. Otherwise, ordinary officials have so much courage and energy?

A seemingly simple trick to scare the snake away, but it really makes many people restless. This is probably what people often say is a guilty conscience!At the same time, they were really a little afraid of Ye Xun, the celebrity in front of the emperor, but these people did not dare to come to Ye Xun, but went to the British Duke Zhang Weixian first.

In fact, Zhang Weixian's family was also involved in the ocean trade, but the old guy's ears are more sensitive. He actually knew about the court's lack of money, and the emperor also asked Ye Xun to discuss it. It must be Ye Xun's trick.

Before Ye Xun could leave the house the next day, Zhang Weixian sent him a post asking him to have a banquet at the mansion.

After Zhang Weixian dumped a big package to Ye Xun before, he seldom had any contact with Ye Xun again. After all, the crown prince has already succeeded to the throne, and if he had too much contact with an eunuch like Ye Xun, it would be no big deal if he was referred to by the censor. Not a small one is also a crime.

Holding Zhang Weixian's invitation, Ye Xun couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect this old guy to jump out first.

It should be said that Ye Xun really has evidence in his hands that several officials from Jiangnan were involved in smuggling by sea, because Ye Xun has been paying attention to this matter for a long time.

Because it's not yet time to activate, Ye Xun has been holding him in his hand. Even this time, Ye Xun just wanted to take out one or two to frighten those people.

The time for Zhang Weixian's treat was at night, and Ye Xun first went to Zhu Changluo's to stand at the meeting post, and then transferred to Zhu Youxiao's.

Zhu Youxiao still lived in Yingxi Palace, and Ye Xun often came in and out, and he didn't need to be notified, so he nodded to the guards outside and walked in directly.

Before entering the door, he was almost pushed out by a gust of fragrant wind, and then he saw Ke Shi twisting his body and walking out from the inside.

Ye Xun hurriedly saluted and said, "I have seen Madam."

In fact, he wanted to call Mrs. Sister-in-law very much, but it seems that his relationship with Wei Chao is not that good, and according to his estimation, this woman should have hooked up with Wei Zhongxian.

"Hey! Isn't this Eunuch Ye? You came early enough today! I just wanted to tell you that our dead ghost wants to buy you a drink. How about tonight?"

While talking, Keshi leaned her plump body towards Ye Xun, winking like silk. When she looked at Ye Xun, it was like looking at a prey that had come to her mouth.

Ye Xun hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "I'm sorry madam, I have something to do tonight, so I won't accompany you."

After finishing speaking, he bypassed Ke Shi and walked directly inside, with an expression like he was hiding a pile of dung.

Seeing Ye Xun despise him so much, Ke Shi's complexion suddenly darkened, two frightening rays of light shot out from his cold eyes, he snorted softly, then turned and walked out.

When he turned around, Ye Xun's face also darkened, this woman is getting more and more excessive, sometimes I really want to get rid of her, but now is not the time, I have to help Wei Zhongxian to the top.

In the courtyard, Zhu Youzheng was working on a model of a house. Although the model was small, it had complete doors and windows, and the carved beams and painted buildings were also very delicate.

Ye Xun couldn't help admiring, it's a pity that this kid isn't a carpenter.

As if sensing someone behind him, Zhu Youxiao turned his head and saw that it was Ye Xun, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Whenever I can walk as lightly as you, it will be great, so no matter where I hide, no one will find me."

Ye Xun didn't understand why Zhu Youxiao liked to hide so much, presumably it had something to do with his dark childhood.

He said with a smile: "Kung fu is broad and profound, as long as you practice hard, you will definitely be better than me."

"Well! I know, by the way, did the emperor tell you that he wants you to be my tutor?"

Ye Xun was taken aback, he knew how much he weighed best, so he taught Zhu Youxiao how to keep fit, so he could be a tutor!What are you kidding?
Seeing that Ye Xun's expression was different, Zhu Youxiao's expression became a little unnatural, and he said, "Why don't you want to?"

Ye Xun smiled wryly and said, "Your Highness, the servant knows how capable he is, so how dare he be the prince's master? Moreover, the prince is the prince of the country, and every word and deed is related to the state. Even if the slave agrees, the ministers in the court will not agree!"

Hearing what Ye Xun said, Zhu Youxiao said in relief: "So you are afraid of those old guys, but I'm actually quite annoyed by them too."

After a pause, he said again: "Ye Xun, if, if one day I do something bad, will you blame me?"

What happened to this kid today?Why are you talking so strangely.

Shaking his head, he said: "The servant is the prince's servant, even if I let the servant die, the servant will never hesitate, His Royal Highness, don't worry."

Still don't worry, I can't let go of my own heart. If you want to kill me, you'd better explain your funeral first.

Zhu Youxiao said happily: "Really? Then there is something, can you do it for me?"

"Prince, please order, the slave will do it now"

"Okay, I really hate that old woman, Concubine Zheng, can you let her die without anyone noticing?"

Hearing what Zhu Youxiao asked him to do, Ye Xun suddenly had ten thousand muddy horses running past in his heart, why did this kid want to kill Concubine Zheng Gui!You're clearly testing me, but you haven't become the emperor yet, why are you testing me?
Facing Zhu Youxiao's bottomless eyes, Ye Xun slowly said: "His Royal Highness, please forgive me, this matter, this matter, the slave will not be able to obey, because her life and death should be determined by His Majesty"

"Haha. You're serious, I'm just kidding! I won't practice martial arts today, it's still early, I want to go out for a walk"

In an instant, Zhu Youxiao turned back into that ruthless young man, and there was no displeasure on his face because of being rejected by Ye Xun, as if the person who spoke just now was not him.

Zhu Youxiao seemed to be fine, but Ye Xun's heart could no longer calm down. What exactly does this kid want to do?
