Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily.
"Zuo Chong, have you lost your sight? Are you using your son in exchange for money?"
Zuo Chong was unmoved and said plausibly: "The emperor is not interested in money, so you must have paid the money."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
Between money and his son, Zhu Yuanzhang decisively chose money.
The son was just going to someone else's house to take on his responsibilities. When Zuo Ying got well, his son would naturally come back.
But if the money is given away, then it is really given away.
He could still figure out which one was more cost-effective.
"Master Zuo, does this have nothing to do with us?" Chu Ze couldn't understand why he had to give money.
"It doesn't matter! If it weren't for you, would His Highness come to Zuo's Mansion? If he didn't come to Zuo's Mansion, would he have a conflict with our son? You are the main cause of all this, how dare you say that you have no responsibility?!" Zuo Chong's way of blaming others made Chu Ze's mind full of nonsense.
Chu Ze rubbed his brows and tried to reason with Zuo Chong: "Then tell me why Zuo Ying had a conflict with His Highness the Second Prince on the street."
"This..." Zuo Chong was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that he couldn't answer for a while, Zhu Xiang, who had been beaten like a grandson just now, instantly grasped the key point.
He immediately pointed at Zuo Chong and loudly said: "It was his son who stopped us first and wanted to cause trouble for us!"
"This is impossible!"
"How is it impossible!" Zhu Xi was now confident, "Father, we are indeed looking for him on Chu Ze's behalf, and we do want his garden. When Mr. Zuo is not here when I arrive, I will Let the servants in his house invite him, and wait in the hall. Unexpectedly, Master Zuo didn't wait, and Master Zuo's son came first."
Zhu Ming folded his arms and mocked proudly: "Master Zuo has really raised a good son. Not only did he not kneel down to pay respect to His Highness, he also dared to block His Highness's way and spoke rudely to His Highness."
"Master Zuo, what do you think of this matter?"
Zuo Chong: "..." Momo raised his hand and wiped away the cold sweat.
"Master Zuo, Master Ling's actions are out of line." Yu Heng spoke out.
Zuo Chong pulled his face and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Zhu Yuanzhang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was Zhu Xi's fault, he would have to kill his relatives today to appease his ministers.
But if the other party is the one who stirs up trouble first, then today's matter will be a different matter.
Yes, today the dragon chair finally doesn’t pierce the buttocks.
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly winked at Chu Ze, and Chu Ze understood.
"I have long heard that Mr. Zuo loves his son very much, but this most basic rule still needs to be taught. Those who know say that Mr. Zuo loves his son very much and is reluctant to restrain him; those who don't know, think that Mr. Zuo has evil intentions and allows his family members to despise God. Power. Naturally, the emperor knows that Mr. Zuo is interested in the imperial court, but outsiders don’t know. If people misunderstand that Mr. Zuo is planning to rebel, it will be a big deal. "
Chu Ze's few words made Zuo Chong feel cold.
Everything is easy to talk about, except rebellion.
Is that something you can say casually? !
"Your Majesty, we are sincere to our Ming Dynasty and have absolutely no intention of treason. Please tell me from your Majesty!" Zuo Chong couldn't even think about it. He kept kowtowing to Zhu Yuanzhang, wishing he could make a hole in the floor.
The red-faced Chu Ze has sung, and now it’s Zhu Yuanzhang’s turn.
"I have no doubts about Aiqing's loyalty. But this matter... does Aiqing think it's more appropriate to handle it?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zuo Chong gently, looking like a good emperor.
Zuo Chong is not stupid either.
I knew that if I asked Zhu Yuanzhang for money, he would definitely not come.
Then...take a step back?
But that’s twenty thousand taels.
Forget it, he gave in.
Zuo Chong made his decision almost instantly.
He immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter is due to the lax discipline of the ministers, which caused the unfilial son to rush into His Highness, but it is also true that Your Highness caused the horse to hurt someone. Forget the two million taels of soup and medicine, the Emperor is willing to give you five A hundred thousand taels is enough, and His Highness doesn’t have to come to the minister’s house, so let’s forget it. But Mr. Chu Ze, your part is unavoidable.”
Not only is it inevitable, Zuo Chong also thought of a better way to make money.
Zuo Chong's eyes were shining with money.
That greedy look made Chu Ze seriously suspect that this guy was actually a greedy person in his previous life.
Otherwise, why would you risk your life for money?
I'm just convinced.
But Chu Ze is not that easy to bully.
He glanced at Zuo Chong and said: "We just asked the Second Highness to go to your house to discuss matters. We will not be responsible for anything your own son caused. After all, your son brought it on himself. You can't blame others. That's it. In response to Mr. Ling’s previous behavior, I don’t even need to pay for the soup or medicine.”
Zhu Yuanzhang deeply believed this.
"But since your son is injured, I am willing to give you four million taels, but we have a condition. You have to give us your garden." Chu Ze stretched out four fingers and waved them in front of him. .
Zuo Chong's face suddenly darkened.
Eight hundred became five hundred, and two hundred was gone.
Now five million dollars still want his garden?
Why didn't he just go and grab it!
"What the hell!" Zuo Chong spat at Chu Ze fiercely and cursed, "Our garden is worth five million taels at least! You only want five million taels? Why don't you and I just grab it!"
"Then it's five million taels, how about we settle the payment right away?" Chu Ze answered immediately, with an anxious look, as if he was afraid that Zuo Chong would regret it.
Zuo Chong: "..."
Zuo Chongqi's beard trembled three times.
This man is waiting for him here!
Zhu Xi looked at Chu Ze with admiration.
I really didn’t expect that, with just a few words, the price was cut in half.
You know, yesterday he talked to Zuo Chong, and offering him eight million was like killing him.
Chu Ze's move directly killed Zuo Chong.
Zuo Chong rolled his eyes and almost pushed him over on the spot.
He gritted his teeth, pointed at Chu Ze, and after holding it in for a long time, he said: "You want to eat shit!"
"Then you want to rebel?" Chu Ze's face was expressionless.
Zhu Ming stood aside with his hands on his waist, pretending to be intimidating.
Zuo Chong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood: "Who the hell is trying to rebel? Don't just put a blame on someone's head!"
"Then should you express your loyalty to the emperor?" Chu Ze remained calm. He raised his chin in the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang and motioned Zuo Chong to look in Zhu Yuanzhang's direction.
Zuo Chong subconsciously looked over and met a pair of heavy eyes.
Zuo Chong's heart skipped a beat.
This is going to be cold.
But with so much money gone, it would be better to just kill him!
Zuo Chong knelt on the ground as if mourning for his heir.
Seeing this, Yu Xi stepped forward and whispered: "Master Zuo, money is something external to the body. You can just earn it after it's gone. Why should you be persistent? Five million taels of silver is not a lot, so you agree."
"What a promise, that's our lifeblood!" Zuo Chongdu cried.
Chu Ze looked at him and said meaningfully: "Master Zuo, your son is your lifeblood."
