"Lao Wu!"

"Uncle Five!"

Seeing Zhu Minsu suddenly roll his eyes and fall back, Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Qiuqi on the side quickly grabbed him.

Looking carefully at Zhu Minlu, the three of them were all startled. They rolled their eyes with stupid expressions, their whole body was twitching as if they were shaking, and foam appeared at the corners of their mouths.

"Pinch Renzhong! Pinch Renzhong quickly!" Zhu Minfeng shouted hurriedly.

Zhu Qiuqi quickly stretched out his hand to pinch Zhu Minchu. The boy panicked and pinched Zhu Minchu's upper lip until it bled. But why did he care about that at this time? It’s important to save people first.

One of them was pinching, and the other was helping to caress the chest. Zhu Shenzui was not idle either. He stood behind and supported Zhu Minchu while calling his name.

"Damn it! Why is this guy acting like this all of a sudden? If I had known that he couldn't stand the stimulation, I shouldn't have said so much. Now, if I can't catch my breath and go like this, I'm not unlucky. Of?"

Just when Zhu Shenzui was anxious, he heard Zhu Minsu let out a long breath and gradually calmed down.

"alright?"

"It seems... okay?"

"That's not right. The fifth uncle's anger has calmed down, but why does it seem like his soul has been lost? Listen, what is he muttering in his mouth?"

After recovering his breath, Zhu Minxi's face became much more normal, but his eyes were still dull, and he looked like he had lost his soul as Zhu Qiuqi said. He sat there blankly and kept mumbling, with a look on his face. A very weird smile.

Looking closer, Zhu Shenzui felt completely uncomfortable when he heard clearly what Zhu Minchou was saying.

If he heard correctly, this guy kept chanting two hundred and five over and over again. Looking at Zhu Minlu's current appearance, I'm afraid he was so excited that he was distracted for a while.

"I'll go! This two hundred and five! Is it really two hundred and five?" Zhu Shenzui was completely speechless. Faced with this situation, few people didn't know what to do.

Zhu Minfeng suggested asking a doctor to come over and take a look? Zhu Shenzui thought for a while and said that he wouldn't need it for the time being. Not to mention that it would cost money to see the doctor. If the doctor came, they would not be able to hide the fact that they met today. Moreover, Zhu Minzhu kept talking about two hundred and five, so if the news got out, Isn't it a problem?

Since it was a mental disorder, it was not impossible to cure it. Zhu Shenzui told Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Qiuqi to get out of the way, saying that he had a cure.

After the two of them got out of the way, Zhu Shenzui rolled up his sleeves, stood in front of Zhu Minchou, raised his hand, and slapped him hard and loudly.

After pumping his mouth for several times, he turned around and picked up the teapot on the table and took a big sip. Then he turned back to Zhu Min and squirted.

With a sip of tea, Zhu Minzu's entire face was covered with water, and there was still a lot of tea foam on it. In addition, because he had been slapped several times just now, both sides of his face instantly became red and swollen, and he looked more and more How embarrassing it is.

"Don't wake up yet!" Zhu Shenzui shouted in his ear. Zhu Shenzui was not sure about this shout. He didn't know whether his tricks were effective, but since Fan Jin was effective, he should It can work, but this is just a try in this situation.

As the sound of drinking fell, Zhu Minluo's expression, which had been dull just now, seemed to react. Under the gaze of the three people, Zhu Minluo's dull eyes gradually became more alert, and then the stiff smile gradually calmed down. Another moment passed. After a while, Zhu Minzu was heard exhaling a long breath from his chest. He looked blankly at the three people staring at him close at hand as if he had just woken up. He asked doubtfully: "Uncle Six...you...you guys are staring like this." What are you doing with me?"

"Hey! I finally came to my senses, uncle, what you did just now worked really well!" After hearing Zhu Minsu's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Zhu Qiuqi was even more elated.

"Lao Wu, are you okay?" Zhu Minfeng asked Zhu Minsu eagerly.

"What's the matter...? What's the matter? I'm fine... Oh, hello..." Just after saying a few words, Zhu Minxi called out, raised his hand and touched his face and said: "I... what's wrong with my face?" Does it hurt so much? Huh? Why is there so much water on my face? Why is there still tea foam?"

Seeing his appearance, the three of them couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing the three of them smiling at him, Zhu Minzhu didn't understand what was going on.

After a while, when he figured out what had just happened, Zhu Minchu was extremely embarrassed, and at the same time, he was secretly grateful that Zhu Shenzui had rescued him.

If Zhu Shenzui had not taken action, I would not have known what would have happened to me. Thinking about it, I felt extremely scared. If something happened to me, what would I do to my mother, wife and children at home? Thinking of this, Zhu Minchu stood up and solemnly thanked Zhu Shenzui for his life-saving grace.

"Uncle Six, there are still us! If I hadn't pinched you just now, you would never be able to recover from this." Zhu Qiuqi reminded.

"Thank you Shiba, and thank you Fifth Brother." Zhu Minchu turned around and saluted the two of them, and then said with a wry smile: "This one made everyone laugh..."

"Sixth brother, my family still says this? How can we just watch and not help you if something happens to you?" Zhu Minfeng waved his hands quickly. Although this incident was a joke, luckily Zhu Minxi was fine. Besides, thinking about it, he felt bitter in his heart.

The majestic clan almost lost its mind and soul for two hundred and fifty taels of invisible silver. Who would believe this?

But the fact is that life of low-level clans like them is so difficult. My family is better than Zhu Minxi, but the benefits are limited. Just now I heard Zhu Shenzui talk about one thousand taels, and when I thought that I could get at least two hundred and fifty taels, didn't Zhu Minfeng breathe quickly and his eyes went straight?

Even the youngest Zhu Qiuqi was not much better. His look was similar to that of a hungry wolf looking at meat. They were all like this. It was normal for Zhu Minchi, who had always been honest and kind, to be in this situation.

Zhu Shenzui was also afraid. If it was because of one word that Zhu Minzhu went there today, the matter would become a big deal. Fortunately, Zhu Minchun seemed to be back to normal now, but Zhu Shenzui was still uneasy. He looked at him left and right several times, asked him how he felt, and was wondering whether he should continue talking about this topic.

"Uncle Six, I'm fine, I'm really fine!" Zhu Minchu said with a wry smile. He just wiped his face and felt much better, but now his face still hurts a little.

Besides, what is this pain? Can pain be more unbearable than being hungry without money? His family has been sick for a long time, and the whole family is sick. No medicine can cure this disease, only free money can cure it, because it is a disease of poverty! Where in the world is there anything more terrifying than the disease of poverty? He, Zhu Minsu, has been honest for half his life, and today he finally has the opportunity to make a lot of money. How could he let this opportunity pass?

With Zhu Minsu's insistence and the strong request of Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Qiuqi, Zhu Shenzui finally gave up his worries and continued to talk about business.

"Do you know the Liu family?"

"Liu family? That Liu family?"

"Of course it's our Liu family in Pingyang Mansion."

"Are you talking about the Liu Shancheng Liu family?"

"Exactly!"

As soon as Zhu Shenzui finished speaking, the three of them nodded: "Of course we know this. The Liu family is a big family in Pingyang Mansion and a famous businessman. How could we not know this?"

"As long as you know it." Zhu Shenzui smiled: "The thing I just mentioned is related to the Liu family. The wealth of the Liu family is known to everyone in Pingyang. It is said that the Liu family's wealth is more than hundreds of thousands. A mere thousand taels is nothing to the Liu family. No matter what, if that thing is done well, not to mention this thousand taels, more is not impossible."

"Uncle, do you mean to defeat the Liu family?" Zhu Qiuqi asked hurriedly, shaking his head slightly disappointedly: "If that's the case, this matter will not be easy to handle. Although the Liu family is a merchant family, the Liu family is a businessman. The family is not a family with little background. They have been in Pingyang Mansion for so many years. If they didn't have some backstage, they would have been devoured by others. If you want to defeat the Liu family, it may be possible to spend a few taels, but If you want the Liu family to provide so much money, I'm afraid..."

"Yes, Uncle Six, why does this have to do with the Liu family? The Liu family is not easy to deal with." After Zhu Minfeng heard that Zhu Shenzui said that this matter fell on the Liu family, Zhu Minfeng's heart, which was still hot just now, suddenly It got cold.

As Zhu Qiuqi said, the Liu family is not an ordinary family. The Liu family is not only a wealthy businessman in Pingyang Prefecture, but also a businessman with a background.

Since the days of the Ming Dynasty clan have become increasingly difficult, many lower-level clans will do anything to make a living. It is common for some clans to shamelessly deceive and engage in ruthless gangs, or use their identities to extort merchants in the city.

But having said that, these clans are not stupid, even if they do such dirty things, it still depends on the person. For ordinary people or small businesses, they dare to do this, but for some people with background, they have to think twice.

Although the status of the clan is noble, the rules are also strict.

Since Zhu Laosi successfully rebelled and became emperor, the Ming Dynasty has placed restrictions and precautions on the clan to the extreme. The clan can only do trivial things on weekdays. Once something happens, let’s not talk about the Jin Prince’s Palace and the clan’s mansion above. , just the action of local officials and censors is enough for the clan to drink a pot, and once they are caught, they will be in bad luck.

Therefore, low-level clan members would always turn a blind eye as long as they did not go too far, cheating, abducting or blackmailing small merchants. After all, the imperial court owed the clan a salary, and everyone knew that the clan's life was difficult.

Everyone knows where the red line is and will never cross it, and they often understand it tacitly, but once a big merchant like Liu Shancheng wants to be touched, the nature is different.
