Everyone understands this. How could it be such a coincidence that the noble family members of the Hou family who were working in the Ministry of Industry were in such a big mess at the same time? Who knows if there was some tacit understanding secretly, deliberately giving those thieves a loophole?
In this case, then the Marquis of Runan and Marquis Ji'an are all involved in this matter, so how could the Marquis of Yongjia and the Zhu family be the only ones left out?
That Korean Wang Zaixian was brought into the village by the Yongjia Hou Crown Prince himself!
"Chase! Go to Qixia Ferry!" Zhu Su only hesitated for a moment, then got on his horse. "As many cavalrymen as there are in Qianhu, Commander Li will take them with me!"
"Di Meng, let me give you a horse."
"Monk, come with me too!"
Yao Guangxiao nodded, but Li Rong took the reins of Zhu Su's horse: "Your Highness! You have been riding a horse all night in vain. How can your rich body bear such a crime!"
"Just let me, Old Li, go. I, Old Li, will issue a military order to you, and I will definitely twist the head of that Korean thief back!"
"What a rich man!" Zhu Su shook the horse's reins, trying to shake the reins away from Li Rong's hand.
"My father is still the emperor. Back then, didn't he beg for food and eat chaff, go hungry and escape famine?"
"Those brothers from my Zhu family who have been enthroned as kings of forts in Jiubian will have to fight with Yuan Gou for their lives in the future! What's the use of me riding a horse all night! How can it be so pretentious!"
"Old Li, get out of the way! If I don't go, can you suppress that bullshit brother-in-law from the Yongjia Marquis Mansion?"
"...Yes." Li Rong had no choice but to let go of the reins. Your Highness is right. Just now, Mei Ying, a mere fifth-grade worker from the Ministry of Industry, had been blocking him for a long time.
He was originally a strong general on the battlefield, a warrior capable of pulling a galloping horse, but when he arrived in the capital, he was unable to stretch his arms and was intimidated. In the past, the Mei family of the Runan Marquis Mansion was taken into consideration, but speaking of it, it was still His Highness the Fifth Prince’s own power...
In Su Wangzhuang, more than fifty cavalry quickly gathered at the school ground. After Zhu Su roughly informed the destination, more than thirty people supported Zhu Su and quickly rushed to Qixia Ferry in the east of the city along the Yingtian Official Road.
After galloping all night, the tender meat on Zhu Su's thighs was almost worn out. Although he can ride a horse, it is the first time in his life that he has been riding continuously for so long.
But Zhu Su didn't say a word along the way. What Xu Da and Lao Zhu said to him kept flashing in his mind.
"You have this ability because God wants you to do something practical for our Ming Dynasty. How can you only think about being Prince Xiaoyao?"
"Now that we are in the game, how can we stay out of it..."
His Highness the Fifth Prince pursed his lips and said nothing, and the atmosphere in the team became more and more solemn. Everyone was vaguely aware that His Highness the Fifth Prince, who was usually lazy, was really angry this time.
At dawn, Zhu Su finally saw the outline of Qixia Crossing from a distance. This is not a big ferry, but it is still early and there are not many people there. When the two guards saw a group of men and horses approaching menacingly, they hurriedly banged the gong and tried to shout to stop Zhu Su and his party.
"Who are you waiting for? This is a government ferry, and horses are not allowed to rush into each other..."
"Get away!"
Li Rong, who was holding back his anger, took the lead and whipped his whip towards the soldier who was shouting. The soldier screamed and rolled away, and the group of people rushed into Qixia Ferry without slowing down at all.
"Your Highness! Over there! Someone is boarding the ship!"
How could a normal person board a boat to cross the river early in the morning before dawn? Zhu Su cheered up and immediately rushed to the ferry with his men. I saw an unflagging ship parked at the ferry, and more than a dozen men, women, and children were walking on the deck. ,
Who is the pale one at the end if not Wang Zaixian?
"Take it!" Zhu Su pointed his riding whip!
Li Rong and his men rushed forward like wolves and tigers. Wang Zaixian was greatly flustered and wanted to urge those people to speed up their actions, but to no avail? After a while, Wang Zaixian was hit by a scabbard and fell to the ground. He cut his hands behind his back and caught him in front of Zhu Su.
The men and women, even the boatmen who had already boarded the ship, the box and cage drawings, and even the remains of the loom were all dragged off the ship.
It seems that it was torn apart by these people because it was too difficult to carry.
"Who are you waiting for? Why are you acting wild here!" A voice came from behind. Zhu Su glanced back coldly and saw many sergeants filing out from behind. A general was wearing a belt while hurriedly coming from behind. walked out of the house. He was not afraid when he saw Zhu Su and his entourage. He was about to step forward angrily. Di Meng immediately drew his sword out of its sheath: "Be brave, His Highness King Wu of the Ming Dynasty is here!"
"How dare you make a mistake!"
The official's face turned pale, but he still wanted to step forward: "I am Qianhu Zhuhu of Qixia Qianhu Office. Why does His Highness the King of Wu want to detain good people?"
"Zhu Qianhu is dedicated to serving the people." Zhu Su snorted coldly. Then he stopped paying attention to Zhu Hu. Then he turned to the room behind him and shouted:
"Prince Zhu Siam, I have seen you."
"A man must be upright. Since you dare to conspire with this Korean thief, why do you dare to push this lackey of the Hou Mansion out at this time, but don't dare to confront Gu?"
The ferry was silent for a while, and after a moment, the crown prince of Yongjia, Zhu Xian, dressed in a blue shirt, walked out of the house.
"Your Highness has good eyesight! It is Zhu's fault that he failed to visit His Highness immediately."
"It's just His Highness, but why do you say this? When did you conspire with this brother of the King of Goryeo?"
"Ha." Zhu Su's face remained calm. The temples on both sides were throbbing. He was no longer impatient to play football with this guy. He just gave Zhu Xian a cold look.
"I will report this matter to my father."
"I don't need to say anything to you. You and Wang Zaixian will have your own royal guards to interrogate you properly."
"You'd better not get my recipe yet."
"It seems that I usually follow the crowd too much, which gives you the illusion that I am weak and can be bullied."
"Zhu Xian, take care of yourself."
With that said, he wanted to escort the craftsmen and Wang Zaixian away.
Zhu Xian's face turned pale, and Zhu Su suddenly spoke straight to the point in such a tone without any fluctuation. For a moment, he didn't even know how to respond. After thinking for a moment, he said loudly: "Your Highness!"
"Zhu is already aware of this matter. There is one thing that I hope to meet with His Highness Chen!"
Zhu Su stopped his horse, thought for a moment, and signaled Di Meng to let Zhu Xian in.
"Your Highness, why are you forcing me like this..." Zhu Xian had a wry smile when he arrived in front of Zhu Su.
"I, the Marquis of Yongjia, stand behind His Highness wholeheartedly. Does His Highness want to push us to the side of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Yixin is standing behind me?" Zhu Su sneered and looked down at Zhu Xian from the horseback.
"You have been coveting my cement recipe for a long time, right? If I don't give it to you, you will reach out and grab it..."
"Is this the way your Yongjia Marquis Mansion is loyal to others?"
"This..." Zhu Xian hesitated.
"But... Your Highness, is the loyalty of my Yongjia Marquis Mansion inferior to that of a prescription?"
Zhu Xian said loudly.
"Even a merchant from the Shen family can get a share of His Highness's business. We all come from noble families, but His Highness treats us so poorly!"
"Your Highness is always on guard against us. Don't you think we don't know? We just want to be rich and noble. Your Highness clearly has this opportunity, but you are not willing to give it to us?"
"So, how much wealth did the Korean give you? Are you going to sell cement to the Korean because of the mere wealth?" Zhu Su stared at Zhu Xian.
"Does Your Highness want to slander my Yongjia Marquis Mansion?"
"It's nothing more than a mere miraculous skill, what's the big deal! Why does Your Highness think that our Marquis Mansion will definitely covet such miraculous things!"
Zhu Xian will continue to talk hard to the end.
"Besides, what will happen if this cement arrives in Korea? It will just build more houses and build more roads." Zhu Xian disagreed. "Your Highness is so short-sighted. Goryeo is just a vassal and thousands of miles away. If you can get tens of thousands of taels of silver by selling Zhang Fangzi, why not do it?"
"You are still young, and you don't know that sometimes, if you look forward and backward, you will gain nothing."
"Your Highness, I couldn't bear for you to miss such a good opportunity, so I just made the decision for you!"
Zhu Xian's voice and emotions are mixed.
Zhu Su opened his mouth and felt even more angry when he saw the confident look on Zhu Xian's face.
"Zhu Xian, what a eloquent mouth."
"So, I want to thank you for making the decision for me?"
Zhu Xian should not wait. Zhu Su then thought to himself and said:
"It seems that the Yongjia Marquis Mansion thinks it has great achievements and has become arrogant and domineering."
"In that case, I will teach you how to be a minister first."
"As a superior, the most unpleasant thing is to see your subordinates making their own decisions. The most fearful thing is for your subordinates to reach out and take things that are not theirs."
"Be aware that what I give you is yours. It is something you can take with peace of mind."
"You can't take what I won't give you."
"Robbing, you deserve to die!"
