Prince Consort's Mansion.

The housekeeper looked at the bruised and swollen bearded man with a suspicious look on his face.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Even if you give this villain a hundred courages, you still wouldn't dare to deceive Butler Ouyang!"

The bearded man swore and said.

Originally, I thought it was just a small thing, and I might get some benefits from it, but now it seems that things are difficult to handle.

A kid with no background has many ways to steal his property.

But now people say they have secrets on how to make clothes.

And this guy is very clever.

He has basically poached all the tailors available in Beijing, and the contracts are all in his hands.

This thing will stick to people's minds.

Go back to the mansion and talk about the matter.

Ouyang Lun pondered for a moment.

"We are alone, and we are full of blood. If we are pushed into a hurry, something might happen."

"Why did you give him the money? How will he spit it out in the future?"

"Then you come forward and talk to him. The important thing is to get the secret book."

With the master's consent, Butler Ouyang knew what was going on.

Dang even hurried out the door.

Zhu Yan walked around the bookstores in the city and found a few books on clothing.

That's right, he was going to use these books to make up a secret book in exchange for money.

As a steward of a powerful family.

I'm afraid he couldn't think of anyone who would dare to lie to him, especially someone with no background like himself.

When he thought of this, a bright smile appeared on his face.

Just in the room, he asked the maid Xiaohong to bind the books he had mixed.

Zhu Accountant's voice came from outside.

"Master, someone is coming from the Prince Consort's Mansion!"

"So anxious? It seems like you are determined to win!"

Zhu Yanfeng Qingyun replied calmly, took the book and pushed out the door.

Looking at the overly young boy in front of him, Butler Ouyang said in a contemptuous tone.

"Make a price!"

Zhu Yan stretched out a finger.

Butler Ouyang's face twitched: "Ten thousand taels of silver? Is this price a little too high?"

"It's not ten thousand! It's one hundred thousand!"

Zhu Yan's words immediately shocked Butler Ouyang, and he stood up suddenly.

"Do you know who you're talking to?"

Zhu Yan glanced at him sideways, turned to Accountant Zhu and said, "Show him our account book."

After getting the account book, Butler Ouyang flipped through it a few times and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You earned more than 60,000 taels of silver in five days?"

At this time, Zhu Yan sighed softly and said leisurely.

"Steward Ouyang has many connections in the city. If you go out and ask around, you will know whether it is true or false."

In fact, Butler Ouyang had already inquired about it before he came.

The reason for the pretentiousness is simply to lower the price.

Seeing Zhu Yan's softness and unwillingness to accept it, Butler Ouyang accepted it.

Anyway, this money is only temporarily stored here, and sooner or later the surname will still be Ouyang.

The deal was settled, with one hand handing over money and the other hand teaching.

But how can Butler Ouyang know how to make clothes?

I took out the book and looked at it. It was about making clothes, so I didn’t read it much.

After all, in his opinion.

Zhu Yan didn't dare to play tricks on their prince-in-law's house, even if he was brave enough to do so.

Looking at the boxes of silver in front of him, Zhu Yan turned to Zhu Zhangfang with a smile.

"What are you still waiting for? Isn't it time for you to go to the palace?"

Accountant Zhu had a look of emotion on his face.

"The young master is really clever and clever. He actually took out so much money from the Prince Consort's Mansion."

"It seems that this time, the Prince Consort is doomed."

Zhu Yan shook his head: "If you don't seek death, you won't die. Who asked him to touch my brow?"

In his memory, Ouyang Lun committed this crime in the 30th year of Hongwu.

The crime was smuggling tea.

Wouldn't it be a disservice to yourself if you let this enemy go?

When Lao Zhu heard about this, he became furious.

"Mud can't hold up a wall. If Anqing hadn't stopped him last time, we would have chopped off his head long ago."

"I didn't expect this bitch to be unrepentant and dare to take bribes and pervert the law!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and Lao Zhu immediately yelled.

"Somebody come!"

Immediately, guards rushed in.

"Send people to investigate for us and find out what this consort Ouyang Lun has done!"

Lao Zhu, who was born as a commoner, hated corrupt officials the most.

Before, Ouyang Lun went out to flirt with women, so he tolerated it.

No matter what, he is still his son-in-law, so he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his belly.

But now that Ouyang Lun has violated national law, he is seeking death!

Ouyang Lun, who was in the mansion, was listening to the butler's report, holding a book in his hand and a smile on his face.

"Those who are greedy for money will find their own way to death!"

"Don't feel bad about the money. Sooner or later he will send it back obediently."

The housekeeper said flatteringly: "What I said is that you are just a wild boy with no power and no power, and you can't change the world."

Ouyang Lun naturally wanted to take a look at the book he bought for one hundred thousand taels.

It didn't matter just this look, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Looking up and seeing the housekeeper turning to leave, Ouyang Lun said in a deep voice.

"Wait a minute!"

The steward didn't know what was going on, so he just stood there with his hands down.

The book has been put together in a hurry, but if you look closely, you can see the flaws.

Ouyang Lun's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he pushed the book on the ground.

"Trash, what have you done? You spent a hundred thousand taels of silver to buy something like this?"

The butler had no idea it was happening.

But seeing Ouyang Lun getting angry, it was definitely necessary to admit his mistake.

"The villain deserves to die. Is that kid so brave that he dares to challenge our Prince Consort's Mansion?"

Ouyang Lun snorted coldly: "Since he is looking for death, then let him follow his wish!"

"Take someone over there right away and bring back the money intact, as well as that kid!"

The housekeeper is already familiar with this kind of thing.

The silver was brought over by the Prince Consort and had been marked long ago.

Zhu Yan will definitely be unable to argue with him at that time, and he will reap the consequences if he takes advantage of him.

Just at this moment, a servant came to the door with a panicked expression.

"Master! Something bad has happened. Officers and soldiers are coming!"

Ouyang Lun was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment.

"Who brought the troops?"

"Xia Shu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

Ouyang Lun's heart skipped a beat when he heard that it was the Ministry of Punishment.

What he did in private, he knew best in his heart!

Is something going to happen?

Ouyang Lun calmed down a little and spoke to the housekeeper.

"Don't stand there in a daze, I'll go see what's going on."

"Hurry up and report to the princess!"

"If anything happens, let her enter the palace immediately."

After giving the instructions, he hurried out the door.

But as soon as this man left the courtyard, he encountered a group of menacing guards.

The person in charge is none other than Xia Shu, the Minister of Punishment.

Seeing Ouyang Lun, he shouted in a deep voice.

"Come here! Capture Ouyang Lun!"
