Zhu Di was anxious, fearing that he would say something shocking again, so he quickly stopped and said, "Let's wait until Ma He comes back. You go back first. If Ma He returns to the capital, I will naturally send someone to inform you."
"yes."
Chen Kan didn't know what kind of medicine Zhu Di was selling in his gourd, but since he had sent Ma He to verify it, it proved that he was still more inclined to believe that what he said was true.
Once a creature like an emperor has doubts, he will definitely seek confirmation.
As long as you seek verification, as long as you get a little bit of gain, you will be out of control.
In any case, things were developing in the direction that Chen Kan hoped. He didn't say much, bowed to Zhu Di, and pulled Zhu Yuelan out of the palace before the palace door was locked.
As soon as the two got into the carriage, Zhu Yuelan looked at Chen Kan suspiciously and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you instigate Zhu Zhanji to steal the globe?"
Chen Kan suddenly called out to Tianzui: "Madam Mingjian, I haven't said a word to His Highness the Emperor Changsun since I entered the palace, but you have wronged me."
Zhu Yuelan looked Chen Kan up and down, as if she wanted to see a flower on his body.
After a moment, she asked, "Really?"
Chen Kan raised his hand and said seriously: "I swear, if it was really me who instigated it, how could I possibly plead to His Majesty?"
Zhu Yuelan said doubtfully, "Okay, I'll believe you for now."
Then she changed her voice and asked: "Father left you alone, what did he say to you?"
Chen Kan said calmly: "Your Majesty thinks that I am a talented person, so you can discuss the past and present with me!"
Zhu Yuelan pushed him and said dissatisfied: "Nothing is right, I mean it seriously."
"I meant what I said."
It's not that he felt the need to keep Zhu Yuelan a secret about what Zhu Di discussed with him, he simply felt there was no need to say it.
It's all about fighting and killing.
After quarreling all the way back to the Chen Mansion and having a simple dinner, Chen Kan picked up Zhu Yuelan and carried him into the bathing room with Zhu Yuelan's blushing face.
After a while, an imaginative sound came from the bathroom.
…
After counting the "days", there were only three days left before Yuan Zheng.
Chen Kan finally thought of business.
Since it is a gift from Yuan Zheng, the globe this time cannot be made into a small handicraft.
Chen Kan personally led people to Nancheng Shibafang. This time, he decided to take it seriously.
In the carpentry workshop, in addition to the craftsmen gathered together, there are of course countless pieces of wood.
However, as soon as Chen Kan got off his horse, someone blocked his way.
Chen Kan: "?"
Places like Shibafang itself were established by Taizu to facilitate the people in the city to purchase daily necessities. Generally, few people with real status would come here, except for Chen Kan.
Because most wealthy families have such things as butlers.
This made Chen Kan a little curious. What kind of noble person would come to Nancheng Shibafang and even block the entire city? Is this because he is full?
"Master, please come back. No foreigners will be accepted in Shibafang today."
Perhaps it was because Chen Kan was riding a tall horse with many tough guards behind him. The guard guarding the gate of the square spoke in a polite tone.
Chen Kan looked at the Shibafang with great interest, which was guarded by ten steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, and he was even more curious in his heart.
In the capital, he had always been the only one who stopped others. This was the first time he wanted to enter a place and was blocked by someone.
Besides, who among the people in the capital doesn't know his name, Chen Kan?
It's not that Chen Kan is showing off. Nowadays, the civil and military officials in the dynasty have to give him some face.
He asked curiously: "Have you just arrived in the capital?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, then admitted: "It's good that we are new to the capital, but the noble people in Shibafang today, no matter what your status is, you are not someone you can afford to offend."
"Master, I see that you came here on horseback. You must be a child of a wealthy family. Please listen to my advice and go back."
As the saying goes, listen to others and eat enough. Since everyone said so, Chen Kan was not a stupid young man who would be beaten to death if he was insulted by others.
Although the purpose of coming to Shibafang today was not completed, Chen Kan still had plenty of time. As a big shot who has just entered the capital, he may become a minister in the same palace in the future, so Chen Kan is still willing to give him this face.
After bowing his hands to the guard, Chen Kan planned to go back.
The accompanying guards were a little unhappy.
Fang Xu said: "Sir, are we just going back empty-handed?"
Chen Kan smiled: "What else?"
"According to my subordinates, these people are just showboats. Why should we be afraid of them? We can just rush in."
Seeing Fang Xu and Zhang San eager to try, Chen Kan couldn't help but raise his hand and slap each of them on the forehead.
"Idiot, you are making enemies everywhere. Is it because you adults think I can't die fast enough?"
The two of them were slapped by Chen Kan and immediately withered.
Fang Xu muttered: "Who in the entire capital now dares to be an enemy of our Five Cities Military and Horse Division."
Fang Xu naturally had confidence when he said this. Ever since the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division rescued many officials from the Jin Yiwei during the imperial inspection, there were faintly known Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Divisions in the capital who were able to fight with them. There are rumors that Jinyiwei is an equal.
The captains of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division believed in this statement even more.
This has caused the tails of the captains under Chen Kan to rise to the sky.
However, Chen Kan knew that this was just an illusion of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
Those who said that the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division could keep pace with the Jinyiwei only saw the scene of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division snatching people from the Jinyiwei.
But they ignored the responsibilities of Jin Yiwei.
The real duty of the Jinyiwei is His Majesty's personal army. Surveillance officers are just a part-time job for the Jinyiwei. Moreover, the law enforcement power of the Jinyiwei who kills first and then reports the imperial charter is impossible for the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to have in any case.
To put it bluntly, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division can only passively snatch people from the Jinyiwei. Moreover, the people the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division wants to save cannot be really guilty people.
However, he did not intend to say anything about the fact that his subordinates always thought that he and Jinyiwei were on par with each other. The Wucheng Bingma Division was destined to be a very special existence from the moment he took office.
If they don't have the spirit to be cautious, they may not dare to really make enemies of Jin Yiwei.
"Okay, if you're awesome, just break in on your own. I'm leaving."
Chen Kan didn't want to argue with Fang Xu, so he got on his horse and ran away.
Although Fang Xu and Zhang San were not angry, they did not dare to really disobey Chen Kan's order. Their thoughts were very simple, they simply did not want to lose face here.
Now that Chen Kan is leaving, no matter how unhappy they are, they can only follow Chen Kan back.
"Help, help~"
Chen Kan was about to raise his whip when suddenly a familiar voice floated over.
Fang Xu came forward with a sinister look on his face: "Sir, someone is calling for help, should we take care of it?"
Chen Kan put down the riding whip in his hand. If a noble person just came to Shibafang for shopping, he would naturally not be able to control it. But if someone wanted to seek wealth and death, that would be the responsibility of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
Chen Kan stared at Fang Xu and asked calmly: "What do you think?"
"Help...help~"
As the two talked, the woman's cry for help got closer and closer.
Fang Xu understood and immediately turned his horse's head to the gate of Shibafang.
"The brave maniac who dares to commit murder at the feet of the emperor of the capital must be captured as soon as possible!"
"Be brave! Get off your horse quickly. Can you bear it if I bump into the noble?"
The guards guarding the gate of Shibafang were instantly furious. What happened to these people? Do they have to meddle in this nosy business today?
"Help~"
The panicked cry for help was getting closer and closer. Chen Kan looked closely and saw that it was Yun Niang, the manager of the Hengfeng.
She rushed toward the square gate with a panic face, and when she saw the guards guarding the square gate, a look of despair suddenly appeared on her face.
"Yun Niang, is there someone who wants to kill someone for money?"
Chen Kan shouted loudly, and the woman was like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Master Chen, save me!"
"Help!"
Chen Kan gave an order, and Fang Xu and others who were confronting the guards immediately drew out the long knives at their waists, urged their horses and rushed in towards the gate.
The guards were furious. They didn't expect that someone would really dare to disturb Tai Sui. They simply didn't know how to live or die.
"Line up to meet the enemy!"
The guard who was the first to admonish Chen Kan unsheathed his sword, but faced the charging horse with no fear on his face.
Chen Kan did not launch a charge, but just reined in his horse and stood there, quietly watching Yun Niang running closer and closer to the square gate.
To be more precise, he was looking at the angry young man chasing behind Yun Niang.
"It turns out to be him!"
Chen Kan murmured to himself.
He was also curious about which nobleman made such a grand display, and it turned out to be an old acquaintance.
"Yun Niang, don't run, wait for me~"
The young man chased after Yun Niang, his face full of anxiety.
But as soon as he caught up to the square gate, he was a little dumbfounded.
"what happened?"
The guards he brought actually fought with a group of captains wearing flying fish uniforms.
"Jinyiwei?"
The young man was stunned on the spot and stopped chasing the woman. His brain was a little down. Did Jin Yiwei have the courage to take action against him?
After Chen Kan saw the young man's face clearly, he suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
The young man was startled by Chen Kan's voice. When he came back to his senses, his face changed greatly and he shouted angrily: "Stop it, my king!"
The two parties who were fighting heard the order from their own general, and quickly stopped their attack. After dividing into two teams, they faced each other on guard.
"Master Chen, save me!"
Yun Niang ran all the way to Chen Kan's side and hid behind Chen Kan's horse, refusing to show her face.
Perhaps he lost his veil while escaping, but Chen Kan saw her face clearly for the first time.
Yun Niang is not old, she looks like she is in her twenties, but her beautiful eyes are full of panic, like a lost deer, her chest is heaving and breathing heavily, and paired with that face, I can see The pitiful little face instantly aroused Chen Kan's protective desire.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you. The capital is at the feet of the emperor. As the chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department, I am in charge of the security of the capital. How can I let someone commit murder in the street under the bright sky?"
Chen Kanfu, it turns out that there really are white lotuses in the world.
But...how could someone as ugly as Yuncheng have such a beautiful sister? Is there a genetic mutation?
This unscientific!
The young man happened to hear Chen Kan's righteous and awe-inspiring speech, and immediately said in annoyance: "Who are you? Do you want to die if you dare to obstruct me?"
"I wonder which nobleman came to Shibafang to bully a helpless woman. It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Zhao."
"Who are you?"
Zhu Gaosui was a little shocked when he heard the man on the horse reveal his identity. How could someone know his identity on the second day after he arrived in the capital?
However, where he stood, he could only see Chen Kan's profile, because Chen Kan's attention was now entirely on Yun Niang, and he did not look at him at all.
Seeing that the visitor didn't take him seriously at all, Zhu Gaosui looked a little unnatural. He asked, "I'm asking you, are you looking for death?"
Chen Kan jumped off his horse and turned around to look at Zhu Gaosui.
With just one glance, Zhu Gaosui's pupils shrank into pinpoint shapes.
"Chen Kan, is that you?"
Chen Kan said with a playful smile: "Isn't it just me? Long time no see, Your Highness, King Zhao. I'm still wondering why no one in the capital dares to offend you. The feeling is yours."
The moment he saw Chen Kan, Zhu Gaosui knew that it was impossible to achieve his goal today.
Although he was far away in Peiping, he also heard about what Chen Kan did in the capital.
Not to mention that he had a friendship with Chen Kan when he was in the capital.
He knows Chen Kan.
"Since you are the one who came forward, for your sake, I will let her go today, but there is nothing that I want that I can't get."
The biggest difference between Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu is here. Zhu Gaosui knows how to weigh.
There was no need for him to be at odds with Chen Kan because of a woman.
With Chen Kan's current popularity in the imperial court, it would be uneconomical to antagonize Chen Kan.
After saving enough face for Chen Kan, Zhu Gaosui looked at Yun Niang who was huddled behind Chen Kan's horse and said calmly: "Yun Niang, please take care of yourself. This king of Shibafang will come again."
"Let's go!"
Zhu Gaosui was not a high-profile person to begin with, and when he got into trouble with Chen Kan in Shibafang, both parties looked unhappy.
He greeted his subordinates and was about to leave, but Chen Kan stepped forward and stopped him, half-smiling but not smiling: "When did His Highness King Zhao come to Beijing, I didn't send anyone to tell you. As a friend for many years, I should be there for His Highness, not to mention that we have become a family now. It would be a bit awkward to leave just after the meeting, right?"
Zhu Gaosui paused, raised his head and looked at Chen Kan: "What do you mean?"
Chen Kan smiled and extended the invitation: "Jude Tower, I will be the host, and please give me your favor."
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, then nodded after thinking for a moment: "That's fine!"
Chen Kan said calmly to Yun Niang: "Yun Niang, please go back first and leave the misunderstanding between you to me."
Yun Niang wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhu Gaosui's expressionless face, she could only nod nervously.
"Your Highness, please!"
Chen Kan stretched out his hand to lead him, and the guards brought by Zhu Gaosui led him a war horse.
He mounted his war horse and said calmly: "Let's go."
Chen Kan gave instructions to several guards, and a group of people rushed towards Jude Tower to kill them.
Chen Kan and Zhu Gaosui were riding horses side by side. They were talking in a nonchalant manner, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Zhu Gaosui, in particular, was a little confused by Chen Kan's sudden invitation.
He knew clearly that Chen Kan had fallen out with his second son.
And he told the second child without any secret that he would never participate in the fight for the reserve.
After the relationship with the second son broke out, he turned around and entertained him. What kind of medicine was sold in this gourd?
Doesn't he know that he has a good relationship with the second child but a bad relationship with the eldest?
As for why Chen Kan invited Zhu Gaosui to dinner, he naturally had a deep meaning.
The moment he saw Zhu Gaosui, Chen Kan suddenly had an idea in his mind that he could keep the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division on par with the Jinyi Guards.
That's right, he planned to trick Zhu Gaosui into the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
There is a mascot in Jinyiwei named Li Jinglong.
Although Li Jinglong seemed to have no role at all in Jinyiwei, he only walked around the brothels all day long, and even scolded Ji Gang when he had nothing to do.
But at some point, Li Jinglong can play a big role, especially in calming the grievances of the nobles.
His existence is like the vice president in some companies in later generations who only takes money and does nothing. When the company is running normally, he uses money to support him. When the company encounters an unsolvable crisis, the vice president will use the money to support him. The relationship between black and white can easily resolve the difficulties encountered by the company.
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division just lacks such a mascot.
Speaking of which, it is still due to the lack of talents. Now the only people in the entire Five Cities Army and Horses Division who can control the overall situation are Chen Kan and Xu Yuan. However, due to Xu Yuan's background, he cannot achieve some high-level things.
Especially when dealing with people at a higher level, it was very difficult for Xu Yuan.
But it is impossible for Chen Kan to guard the Wucheng Bingma Division all the time, so it is very necessary to find such a mascot for the Wucheng Bingma Division.
At the earliest time, Chen Kan's mascot candidate was Xu Jingchang. Although Xu Jingchang was far inferior to Li Jinglong, Chen Kan could not find a more suitable candidate at that time.
In addition, there was no rush on this matter, so Chen Kan never put it on the agenda.
But the moment he saw Zhu Gaosui, Chen Kan knew that a more suitable mascot had appeared.
What could be a more intimidating mascot than the emperor's own son?
Of course, Zhu Gaosui must not have known that Chen Kan was already interested in him. He thought that Chen Kan was trying to make a case for Yun Niang.
So as soon as he arrived at the door of Jude Building, he said bluntly: "If you want to talk to me about Yun Niang, then I might as well tell you that I am bound to win Yun Niang."
Chen Kan smiled noncommittally and said nothing. He dismounted and handed the reins to his bodyguard, saying calmly: "Your Highness, please."
Chen Kan was also a frequent visitor to Jude Building. The shopkeeper felt that the young man standing next to Chen Kan looked familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen him before.
He came up to him and said with a smile: "Master Chen, are you going to entertain distinguished guests today?"
Chen Kan's face darkened and he said, "If you blind your dog's eyes, wouldn't His Highness King Zhao be able to recognize you?"
The old shopkeeper rubbed his eyes, and suddenly said with a surprised look on his face: "His Royal Highness, King Zhao, I am blind. It is true that His Highness, King Zhao, has not had a meal with me for several years. Your Highness, please forgive me and atone for your sins."
"It doesn't matter!"
Zhu Gaosui looked at the environment of Jude Building with some nostalgia, and suddenly smiled: "It's not bad. Jude Building is still like this after so many years."
The last time Zhu Gaosui had dinner at Judelou was when Emperor Jianwen was in power. At that time, the three Zhu brothers came to the capital as hostages. Under Zhu Yunwen's house arrest, they could only move around the city every day.
At that time, Jude Building was the place where the three old Zhu brothers and the original Chen Kan, four frustrated people, stayed most often.
But I had no money at that time, so I always drank with the three brothers of the Zhu family.
Later, the three brothers of the Zhu family escaped from the capital with the help of Zhu Di's brother-in-law Xu Zengshou, and they never came to Judelou again.
Hearing Zhu Gaosui's praise, the old shopkeeper nodded and smiled: "It's mainly because the old customers like it. They all say they are used to eating at Judelou and don't want to change their taste. They are all old customers and are used to seeing every scene in Judelou." It’s a thing, and the little old man has no intention of redecorating it.”
"fine!"
After recalling the miserable days in Jude Building, Zhu Gaosui said lightly: "Give us a seat by the window facing the river. This time he will treat us."
The old shopkeeper immediately bowed and said: "Okay, your highness, please wait a moment."
Soon, the old shopkeeper and the waiter personally cleared a table. When the two of them sat down, the old shopkeeper smiled and said: "Master Chen, Your Majesty, will you still serve the dishes as before?"
Zhu Gaosui asked with a half-smile, "Do you still remember my taste?"
"Oh, how can we forget this? Besides, His Highness the King of Han often comes here to eat."
The old shopkeeper groaned and went to the kitchen to cook the food himself.
Today's distinguished guest is truly an indescribably valuable guest. In the entire capital, only Jude Tower has this honor.
As soon as the old shopkeeper left, Zhu Gaosui suddenly said with emotion: "The four of us had a very sad life back then. We never thought that things would turn around now."
Chen Kan smiled faintly and said nothing.
Although he still has the memory of getting along with the three Zhu brothers, he is no longer the same Chen Kan, and he cannot understand Zhu Gaosui's mood.
He likes to come to Judelou to eat simply because the first meal he ate when he came to this world was produced by Judelou.
Chen Kan did not break his promise. The two jailers who were threatened by him at the beginning have now become small flag officers in the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. They have been promoted and made a fortune.
Seeing Chen Kan's silence, Zhu Gaosui thought he was talking about his sadness, so he stopped mentioning the past.
Instead, he looked at Chen Kan and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Chen Kan smiled and said, "I do have something to ask for, but before I get down to business, I want to ask you, who is also the majestic King of Zhao after all. Why do you fall in love with a widow when you can't find a woman you want?"
Zhu Gaosui narrowed his eyes: "How did you know she was a widow?"
Chen Kan spread his hands: "Her brother is the housekeeper of my house, so I really can't ignore this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaosui suddenly said angrily: "Who told you that I like her?"
Chen Kan: "?"
