Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the people who accepted the order are all elites in Dongchang. Xiao Hezi is also very satisfied with letting these people do things.
"Eunuch He, what do you mean?"
Hearing what Eunuch He said, Xiao San's face changed instantly, and a result came to his mind. Some people who didn't dare to confirm asked him.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about? This matter is top secret. If it is spread out at any time, it will bring a lot of trouble to His Majesty. If you don't handle it well, you should know the consequences better than me!"
Seeing Xiao San pretending to be stupid with him, Eunuch He didn't want to explain anything more, left a word and left Dongchang.
Xiao San, who stayed where he was, understood what Eunuch He just meant.
"Where is this? Who are you?"
Zhu Youxu, who was kidnapped by the masked man, looked at the people around him after the mask on his head was opened, and yelled at several people angrily.
"Let him be honest!"
Hong Tao, with his face covered, listened to Zhu Youxu making a fuss and gave instructions to his men.
“Just in time for some exercise!”
"I haven't met the prince yet, let's see if you can resist my punch!"
Then several people punched the latter in the stomach and several times on the body, and Zhu Youxu immediately became honest.
"Ahem, what do you want to do?"
After being beaten, Zhu Youxu became more honest. Looking at Hong Tao who spoke first, he knew that this person was the boss among these people, so he looked at Hong Tao and asked.
"Everyone, please step aside. It looks like we and the prince can have a good talk."
Hearing that Zhu Youxu was too relaxed, Hong Tao smiled and motioned for his men to step back.
"Recently I discovered that the prince seems to be very interested in the Hu Mansion?"
Hong Tao got straight to the point at this time and asked Zhu Youxu with a smile.
"What? Are you Hu Yunqing's people?"
Hearing that the other party mentioned the Hu Mansion, Zhu Youxu quickly asked several people.
"Hu Yunqing and I are inseparable, but the main reason is that there is a friend of mine in the Hu family, and I don't want you to disturb her!"
Before, I entrusted Zhao Shuangshuang to help me collect food and grass. Unexpectedly, the prince in front of me also turned his attention to the Hu Mansion. It seemed that he fell in love with the women of the Hu Mansion.
If this is the case, His Majesty's attention will all be on the Hu Mansion, fearing that something will happen to the Hu Mansion.
If this is the case, if Zhao Shuangshuang helps him collect food, Chongzhen will definitely find something wrong. It will be very troublesome then.
In order to avoid accidents, Hong Tao decided to solve the problem of Zhu Youxu. He could not kill him yet, so he could only tie him up for discussion first. If it really doesn't work, then kill it.
"Can I ask who you are?"
Listening to the other party's tone, it seemed that he did not belong to Hu Yunqing, so Zhu Youxu asked Hong Tao curiously.
"Building slaves!"
Hong Tao looked at Zhu Youxu and thought about it, then smiled and told him his identity.
"You? Are you actually a slave builder?"
After hearing what Hong Tao said, he was not surprised because they were Jiannu people, but because someone in the Hu Mansion was colluding with the Jiannu people.
Hu Yunqing is currently in Shanhaiguan. If anyone around Hu Yunqing is related to the slave builders, then the entire Shanhaiguan will be in danger.
Zhu Youxu usually takes care of things, but when it comes to life and death, he still knows in his heart what is more important.
"I can tell you that there are many of our people in the court, and we also want to cooperate with you, Your Majesty. Do you have any intention?"
Hong Tao also knew something about Zhu Youxu. Such a dissolute prince was not welcome in the royal family at all. If he could be used by them, he would use Zhu Youxu's name to let people in the court respond.
At that time, the army of slave builders can take advantage of the situation and sneak in.
"I can agree to your previous conditions and I will not disturb Hu's affairs, but I will pretend that I didn't hear anything you just said. There is no way I can agree to you!"
Zhu Youxu is living a good life now. He doesn't care about the throne at all, and he doesn't want to let the slave builders end up benefiting from it.
"Okay, we will release you after a while. If you think about it at any time, you can contact us here."
Hong Tao is not in a hurry, since there is still a long way to go.
After a while of burning incense, Zhu Youxu was released.
Looking at the closed courtyard door, Zhu Youxu wrote down the location, and then walked quickly towards the crowded street.
When he was halfway there, he saw several Jin Yiwei from Dongchang walking toward him and quickly called them over.
Xuan Yi and others, who were looking for Zhu Youxu on the street, heard a sound and turned around to see Zhu Youxu in the alley.
After several people glanced at each other, they nodded in agreement, kept their hands on the handle of the knife, and walked towards Zhu Youxu step by step.
Zhu Youxu also felt something was wrong, why were these people carrying murderous intent.
"Butler, you're here!"
When Xuan Yi and others were still five or six steps away from him, Zhu Youxu quickly shouted behind them.
Xuan Yi, who was already highly focused, quickly pulled out his knife and looked behind him, preparing to kill everyone who came.
Zhu Youxu was not stupid. Looking at the actions of several people, he knew that they were preparing to kill him, so he quickly turned around and ran back.
"Don't be fooled! Hurry up and chase!"
Seeing that there was no one behind him, Xuan Yi turned around and found that Zhu Youxu had run away, and said angrily to the other two people.
The other two people surrounded him from two directions, and their mission was to kill Zhu Youxu.
"Sir, as soon as that guy Zhu Youxu went out, he met several Jinyi guards."
"Okay, it's time for us to leave. If this boy Zhu Youxu plays tricks, we will be in trouble."
After hearing the report from his men, Hong Tao also stood up and prepared to leave. If Zhu Youxu came back with the Jin Yiwei, he would be in trouble.
"Well, he seems to be in trouble."
The subordinates were not in a hurry to leave and said to Hong Tao with a smile.
"oh?"
Hearing that Zhu Youxu was in trouble, he looked at his subordinates in confusion.
The men quickly told Hong Tao's ear what they had just seen on the roof.
"Since that's the case, it's easy to handle. Let the trash hold down those Jinyi guards. We must let Zhu Youxu escape from danger!"
It was as if someone handed him a pillow when he was sleepy, and he hadn't done anything yet. Jin Yiwei was about to kill Zhu Youxu, in order to push Zhu Youxu to his side.
Hurry and ask your men to help. If Zhu Youxu dies, then Hong Tao's work will be in vain.
"Your Majesty, you can leave. Our master has said that he has an agreement with you. If you have thought about it, just follow the agreement!"
The people sent by Hong Tao also stopped Xuan Yi who was chasing him, and rescued Zhu Youxu.
Looking at the sudden appearance of a group of people and listening to the leader's words, I understood what he meant.
