At this time, Duke Wei was already very angry. Why couldn’t these people talk less? Why did they have to come to this place? Have you taken the wrong medicine?

The Duke of Wei secretly glanced at Chen Hong and found that the old eunuch was also looking at him, and he was smiling so strangely.

This made Duke Wei feel so angry that he was so angry.

What do you mean by looking at me then?

You still look at me? You still look at me?

Forget it, just look at it, I won’t look at you anymore.

Duke Wei turned his head and began to think about what to do for a while.

The people there obviously finished talking about the matter and really started to play, and called a lot of girls.

Chen Hong stood up at this time and said, "Our family seems to be almost done. Now we can report to His Majesty. Duke of Wei, why not go with our family?"

Looking at Chen Hong's little appearance, Duke Wei wanted to ask him back, "I want to say I don't go, can it work?" What kind of useless nonsense is asking!

Duke Wei could only bite his teeth and smile and said, "Of course, Eunuch Chen asks you first."

"Don't." Chen Hong waved his hand and said, "Our family is just a person without eggs. He is following His Majesty to serve him. How dare he break the rules? The Duke of the Kingdom is a pillar of the court and has been guarding Nanjing for generations. If the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People, it is the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People who have been guarding Nanjing for generations. If the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of

Duke Wei glanced at Chen Hong and showed a very ugly smile.

He didn't know whether Chen Hong's words were intentional or unintentional, and he always felt that these seemingly praise words were filled with deep ridicule.

This made Duke Wei very unhappy, but he couldn't lose his temper at this time.

The two left Room No. 2 of Tianzi and quickly moved into Room No. 3 of Tianzi.

Seeing Duke Wei and the others coming in, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It seems that the matter is over. Come on, tell me."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the two of them with interest.

Chen Yu'er stood up and said, "Young Master, I will take my leave first."

This is a smart woman who knows what to listen to and what not to listen to.

Zhu Youxiao did not make things difficult for Chen Yu'er, and nodded directly and said, "Okay, you can go out first. After going out, go find Qian Laosan and ask him to arrange it for you."

"When you leave, follow me, you need personal service these days. When you arrive in Nanjing, you are not familiar with the place and don't even have a caring person. It's really disappointing. You're pretty good, just follow me."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, his tone was very light, but this was not the point.

The point is that when he was saying this, Zhu Youxiao did not go to see Chen Yu'er, but looked at Duke Wei.

That is what it says, which makes Duke Wei feel uncomfortable.

Although he was talking about himself, he had no intention of asking himself. Chen Yuer knew that she could not resist, so she nodded obediently and retreated, and brought the door from outside.

After Chen Yu'er left, Duke Wei lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, without any hesitation and said directly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned. Then he quickly stood up and walked to Duke Wei, reached out to support him, and asked, "Why is Duke? Please get up quickly, please get up quickly, you are so old, why is it like this?"

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao helped Duke Wei up and said, "Don't say nothing is wrong. Even if there is something, I won't say anything. Duke Guo doesn't have to do this."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and said, "But is there anything involved in the Duke of Wei's Mansion?"

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong quickly replied.

Although Duke Wei was supported by Zhu Youxiao and sat down, he was comforted. However, Duke Wei knew in his heart that he could not escape the relationship between this matter.

Just listen to what the emperor said. Can you really take it seriously?

Whoever takes it seriously will be a fool.

The Duke of Wei was obviously not a fool. If His Majesty did not want to deal with him, he would not have called him here. This was clearly meant to hit him.

Of course, if His Majesty completely wanted to kill him, he would not have called him here. To put it bluntly, His Majesty would beat him, and he would also beat him hard, causing him to bleed heavily.

As for those words of comfort, just listen to it. Or tell the Duke of Wei that you still have a way out and there is no need to break the dead.

Of course, it may also be intentional comfort and killing him again.

In any case, Duke Wei could not escape this matter, and he was beaten and accepted the punishment. So Duke Wei also adjusted his mindset and sat there waiting for Chen Hong to say that he could not escape anyway.

"Then let's talk about it." Zhu Youxiao also sat back and said, "Who are those people?"

"Back to the emperor, they are several salt merchants from Yangzhou." Chen Hong said

"Salt Merchants?" Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, put down the teacup in his hand hesitantly and said, "How could they be involved in the Duke of Wei's Mansion? Even if the Duke of Wei's Mansion sells salt, it's no big deal."

"The Duke of Wei made contributions to the court and to the royal family. He was not only noble but also nobles. He had a great family, a large population, and a large daily expense. I can understand all these."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Duke Wei again and said, "Duke doesn't have to do this, it's no big deal."

Zhu Youxiao's tone was casual and his attitude was gentle, and even his honorary relatives were brought out.

Why is the Xunqin?

It’s not because their family had a Queen Xu, who was the Empress of Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di.

The Duke of Wei was feeling uncomfortable, without any relief, and was completely in a bad mood.

"Report to the emperor, these people did not talk about salt." Chen Hong glanced at Duke Wei and said.

"Didn't talk about salt?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong strangely and asked, "Aren't they salt merchants? Why don't they talk about salt? Do they have anything else?"

"Go back to the emperor, they are talking about human affairs." Chen Hong said again: "A few of these people are behind the scenes of the pleasure boat on the Qinhuai River, and one of them is the manager of the Duke of Wei's Mansion."

"Oh, so that's it!" Zhu Youxiao looked like he suddenly realized, then turned to look at Duke Wei and asked, "Does the Duke's Mansion still have business on this Qinhuai River?"

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Duke Wei said hurriedly.

Not only was Zhu Youxiao not angry, but instead sighed with guilty expressions, "It's not that you are guilty, it's that I haven't done it well. A family like the Duke of Wei who has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty, who have been loyal to all the Ming dynasties, are already so poor that they have to rely on the business of brothels to survive. It's not that the royal family has done."

"It's my fault. I didn't expect that the life of the people below would be so hard! It's really heartbreaking! Duke Wei, the country's money has been tight for many years, and he really has no time to care about it."

"His Majesty!"

After hearing this, Duke Wei lay on the ground, trembling and kowtowed, and kept hitting the ground with his head.

You can't really listen to the emperor's words, you can't even listen to them in the opposite way.

Is this a good thing?

This is simply killing people!

The Duke of Wei knew very well what kind of life they had lived. They knew how many advantages they had taken from the country every year.

In order to appease them, the royal family will receive rewards during festivals and festivals, and there are many kinds of things in the palace.

Even though the emperor's life was difficult, the rewards were still available during the New Year. It can be said that they valued them very much. The court's favor is a salary and children are born. If they live a miserable life, what are the people's lives?

He glanced at Duke of Wei who was lying on the ground. This time, the smile on Zhu Youxiao's face disappeared and said directly: "Duke of Wei should stand up first and listen to the words obediently."

"I didn't say you were wrong. As for whether it was right or wrong, I'd better wait until Chen Hong finished speaking."

Seeing that Duke Wei was still lying on the ground, Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "What? Is my words useless?"

After hearing this, Duke Wei quickly got up from the ground, stood aside obediently, and waited quietly.

He knew that His Majesty was really angry this time, and he was going to be finished! I don’t know what to do with his family.

After looking at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "You continue talking."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong quickly agreed and continued: "They are actually here to discuss a group of people, and said that because of His Majesty's arrival, this is the last group. When will His Majesty leave and when will he start again?"

"Who?" Zhu Youxiao asked slowly with his eyes.

"It was a girl bought from the stove." Chen Hong secretly glanced at Zhu Youxiao and said slowly: "After they bought these girls, they divided them into two batches. One batch was selected and sent to Yangzhou, and the other batch was sent here. Listening to their conversation, there are girls every year, and there are still a lot of them."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao didn't speak for a long time.

The atmosphere inside the room became solemn in an instant.

The so-called stove households are actually a kind of people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty. They are actually the people who cook salt and have done the same job for generations. Compared with military households, stove households will have a worse life.

There is also a military household in front of it.

And the stove owners, they are at the bottom.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Duke of Wei and asked, "The one who sent to Yangzhou is the famous Yangzhou Skinny Horse, right?"

After hearing this, Duke Wei trembled and said tremblingly: "Go back to Your Majesty, that's right."

"No, not bad." Zhu Youxiao nodded, his eyes instantly became cold, but his face was filled with a bright smile and said, "Good done!"

We took out the stoves with salt merchants. It didn’t count if we took their salt, and it didn’t count if we greed for the court’s money. We also wanted to take their people away?”

"Do you have to go there every year to choose? See who has beautiful girls and take them away if you like them?"
