In the palace, Yun Niang looked uneasy.
"My lord, I don't know why you called Yun Niang here today."
The acting king Zhu Gui glanced at her but did not speak.
The guard next to him took a step forward.
"My prince said that the wine you sent two days ago was indeed good. May I ask where you bought it from?"
When Yun Niang heard this, she smiled bitterly.
"It seems like this is a coincidence."
Zhu Gui frowned: "Then you should keep your story short!"
There was obviously some displeasure in his words.
Yun Niang lowered her head.
"My lord, please forgive me. I bought this wine from someone else. He was just a passing merchant."
"The best wine in Beijing costs several hundred taels of silver per jar. He sold me a jar for two thousand taels."
She deliberately raised the price to give herself some leeway.
The guard then asked: "You don't know where this man is from, so you dare to buy his wine?"
"I forgot to ask this."
Yun Niang replied with an apologetic expression.
"Two days ago, the prince's guards went to Yingchun Pavilion to inquire about things."
"Yunniang is also worried that her subordinates will not do things well and will annoy the prince."
"That's why I sent the wine to the palace."
Zhu Gui tasted this wine yesterday and it was indeed extraordinary.
He has no interest in governing the place.
But he is quite concerned about accumulating money.
I originally thought that I could make a lot of money by getting the recipe for this wine and taking it back to Datong.
Now it looks like it won't work.
After Yun Niang left, Zhu Gui frowned slightly: "There is something wrong with this madam."
When the guard heard this, he asked speculatively.
"Did she make this wine?"
Zhu Gui shook his head.
"I guess she doesn't have the ability! Take two people to follow her and inquire."
In the backyard of Yingchun Pavilion, a carriage stopped at the door.
It was covered with tarpaulin.
Yun Niang looked slightly nervous and waved the carriage in.
At this moment, a palace guard suddenly appeared and reached out to grab the oilcloth.
Shake hard!
Then he saw a jar of wine under the oilcloth.
Yun Niang's face changed: "Sir...sir, why are you here?"
The guard snorted coldly.
"How would I know what tricks you were playing if I didn't come?"
"Where did this wine come from?"
Yun Niang sighed.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that the liquor store owner doesn't want to say it."
"I don't care about that. Just tell me where you bought this wine." The guard said directly.
Seeing that she couldn't hide, Yun Niang had no choice but to tell the truth.
"The wine seller is a young man. He only came to the door once and settled the business."
"Come and get the money every afternoon, and the wine will be delivered later in the evening."
The guard frowned: "Are you telling the truth?"
"I definitely don't dare to lie. I'm just being considerate. We open the door for business. No one wants to offend."
Nodding, the guard snorted: "Send the wine to the palace."
"But what about the money for buying wine, sir?"
Yun Niang from behind quickly stepped forward and said.
The guard turned his head and replied coldly.
"You dare to deceive my prince, what will happen to this matter?"
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Looking around to see if there was no one around, Yun Niang let out a sigh.
"It eats people without spitting out their bones!"
She originally didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
Helplessly, people from the palace came to the door, and as long as he didn't spill the beans.
I have no control over this matter.
So Yun Niang agreed.
But now, I have seen what this king has done.
She was also looking forward to it in her heart.
Zhu Yan can give this prince a good look!
Give yourself a break!
…
At this time, Zhu Yan was shopping Dazhong Street with Zhu Zhongyi and Zhu Accountant.
This is the busiest commercial street in Beijing.
It was crowded and crowded.
At this time, Zhu Zhongyi pointed at one of the restaurants.
"Master, this shop is the property of Prince Gu's family."
A smile appeared on Zhu Yan's face.
"The place is nice, prime location, generous!"
Although the laws of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulate that officials above the fourth rank are not allowed to engage in business, otherwise they will be exposed.
But the people below have their own ways of dealing with it.
As long as one of our own people doesn't come forward, doesn't it just work?
Therefore, most of the properties on Dazhong Street belong to those rich and powerful.
Zhu Yan turned his head and nodded slightly.
Zhu Zhongyi understood, turned his head and winked.
Not long after, I saw a ragged man entering the restaurant.
Zhu Yan randomly picked a place to take a rest.
Sit on the second floor and look out the window.
At this time, Zhu Zhongyi hesitated to speak.
Zhu Yan saw it from the corner of his eye and smiled: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate."
"Master, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for us to design the two princes like this, right?"
After listening to Zhu Zhongyi's concerns.
Zhu Yan seemed very indifferent.
The behavior of the Valley King Zhu Su is nothing compared to that of the Dai Wang Zhu Gui.
What's more important is.
The Valley King Zhu Su runs the wine-making industry in Shangjingzhong.
As his reputation becomes more and more famous in the future, the other party will most likely take action.
In this case, he decided to kill two birds with one stone.
"My heart is in my stomach. We are not committing crimes. What are we afraid of?"
"But……"
Zhu Zhongyi's words are a bit hard to say.
After all, they were all sent by Zhu Yuanzhang.
It is impossible to hide what you do from anyone, not from the emperor.
But this cannot be said openly.
So it's a bit difficult.
Zhu Yan guessed what he was thinking: "You are right to do as I say."
Soon, those wine bugs in Beijing learned that someone was selling fairy wine on Dazhong Street.
He quickly went to buy it with his money.
When I tasted it, it turned out to be exactly the same as what Yingchun Pavilion sells.
The brothel on the Qinhuai River came with money after getting the news.
I sold this magical brew for a sky-high price.
The acting king Zhu Gui soon learned the news and looked unhappy.
"Nineteenth Brother is so capable. He made such a big deal quietly."
As he spoke, he felt somewhat jealous in his heart.
I originally wanted to follow the clues and get the recipe for brewing wine.
It turned out that he was his brother, so it would be difficult to take action.
At this moment, the guard suddenly hesitated to speak.
Zhu Gui cursed angrily when he saw it.
"If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go."
"Your Majesty, the boy who met us that day seems to be from Prince Gu."
When he finished speaking, Zhu Gui frowned.
"The person from the Nineteenth Brother? Then he is too courageous, and even I don't take him seriously!"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and he immediately spoke.
"You can't hold your breath like this anymore. Take your people over and break that kid's legs."
The guard was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Your Majesty, if this happens, I'm afraid it will make things worse!"
"It's better to make a big fuss. I want to see how his nineteenth brother explains to me!"
Zhu Gui said angrily.
