Zhu Gui had a good plan in mind.
Since he is a member of the Valley King Zhu Su, it would be reasonable to use this excuse to get in.
As soon as they moved, Zhu Zhongyi had already received the news.
Zhu Yan is blending the distilled wine.
Hearing the noise, he turned his head and saw Zhu Zhongyi walking in the door.
"Is there something happening on behalf of the King?"
"The young master's guess is correct at all. The fish has bitten the hook, and our people have begun to act according to the plan."
After he finished speaking, Zhu Yan said, "In this case, you should make preparations as soon as possible and bring our people back."
In fact, his method is also very simple.
He didn't go to Yingchun Pavilion often, and due to Lao Zhu's previous strict management, there weren't many opportunities for him to have fun.
This also adds an invisible layer of protection.
The other party cannot trace his whereabouts and can only guess based on sporadic information.
Since King Dai has already found Yingchun Pavilion.
He showed up to Yingchun Pavilion to collect payment.
It’s hard even if the other party doesn’t take the bait!
The winemakers from other places that Zhu Zhongyi brought back were all new faces.
These days it’s the master who leads the apprentice.
Find a few people who say they know how to make wine, and lure the people from the Grain King in.
Let Zhu Wu and Zhu Xiong send the brewed wine in without anyone noticing.
Although I made less money.
But Zhu Yan was still very satisfied with getting rid of potential competitors.
That night, several guards from Prince Dai's Mansion came to the wine shop quietly.
Climb over the wall and get inside!
But at this time, the person climbing on the roof had already seen it and let out a bird call.
I heard someone banging a gong wildly in the courtyard.
"A thief is coming!"
In the middle of the night, this voice can be heard for several miles with the wind.
Not only the people here were alarmed.
Even the nearby residents turned on their lights.
This is ancient times after all.
Once a petty thief enters an ordinary home, it is very likely that they will lose all their money.
Therefore, ordinary people hate thieves very much.
Many shirtless men came out of their homes holding shovels and wooden forks.
This movement frightened the palace guards.
One of them said in a low voice.
"Don't panic, find a place to hide first."
Several people looked around and saw a shabby house nearby with a locked door.
"Okay, let's talk after we go in."
The leader made a quick decision after seeing it.
A guard behind him pulled out a knife, inserted it into the keyhole, and wrapped it with the hem of his clothes to make no noise.
There was a dull kaba sound and the lock was opened.
Several people entered the room in a hurry.
It's not that they don't want to run, but if they run out now, they will probably be caught.
They are not afraid of a few ordinary people.
What I am worried about is the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. Once they are caught, they will report to the court.
Then a few of them would have to walk away without food.
While there was a panic outside, several people quietly came to the backyard wall.
The two leaders were Zhu Wu and Zhu Xiong.
Zhu Wu was seen climbing up the wall in twos and twos and stretching out his hand.
Zhu Xiong below grabbed the belt of the person next to him and pushed it upwards.
The two of them cooperated perfectly, sending several people over the wall in just a few breaths.
At this time, people in the wine shop gathered together and looked at each other.
"Where is the thief? The sound of the gong came from the front yard. Why is there no one there?"
At this moment, one of the people in the corner suddenly pointed towards a house.
"I saw them hiding there."
The manager thought the voice sounded strange, but it was more important to catch the thief right now, so he didn't go into details.
He called to two strong men.
"Go over and have a look!"
When the person reached the door, he let out an exclamation.
"The lock was broken!"
After saying that, he kicked open the door.
When the few people inside saw this posture, they could only bravely rush out.
How could an ordinary person be the opponent of the palace guard?
He was beaten to the ground within a few moments.
The leading palace guard shouted lowly.
"Walk!"
They didn't hesitate and jumped over the wall directly.
Who would have thought that as soon as he landed, he would see a person standing opposite him, and he would raise his hand.
"Take my dart!"
Several people were startled and quickly calmed down and prepared to escape.
Unexpectedly, a puff of white smoke enveloped several people together.
"No! It's quicklime!"
Good guy, if this thing gets into your eyes, don't rub it, let alone touch it.
The whole eye is invisible.
No matter how hard you work, it won’t help!
The surrounding neighbors heard the commotion and rushed over.
When he saw a few people, he was naturally unceremonious and tied them up directly and sent them to the government.
Zhu Yan laughed loudly after listening to Zhu Zhongyi's words.
"It's true that you actually use quicklime!"
"You can meet anyone when you're out there doing business, and you'll naturally know these tricks."
At this point, Zhu Zhongyi paused for a moment: "This matter is about to become a big deal. What are the young master's plans next?"
"It's none of my business, how to live my life!"
Seeing how lightly he spoke, Zhu Zhongyi couldn't help but said, "But Master, we have errands to attend to."
These words were a subtle reminder to Zhu Yan that they must report it.
Zhu Yan laughed and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"Just say whatever you want. Don't worry, I know what's going on."
A few thieves were caught in the middle of the night, and they were still pretending to be guards from the palace. There was something fishy about this matter.
The next day.
royal palace.
Lao Zhu half-squinted his eyes, listening to Zhu Zhongyi's description of what happened last night, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"We remember that you are a cautious person, why are you starting to act like this now?"
There was blame in his tone.
Zhu Zhongyi hurriedly knelt on the ground with a look of panic.
"Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Punishment? How to punish?
My two sons did disgraceful things outside.
Now that they are being beaten up by others, they have put the matter on the table.
What do you say to him as a father?
Besides, the person who did this was his precious grandson!
The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.
It can only be said that this king and the king are really not up to par.
Lao Zhu was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.
"What kind of magical brew can one bottle really sell for thousands of taels?"
"It's true that it's not fake. I even drank it. It tastes sweet and has endless aftertaste. I think it's the best."
Seeing his eyes light up as he spoke, Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel a little interested.
"Is it possible that the fine wines in our palace are not as good as this?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhongyi let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he was also a little strange in his heart, what is the identity of his young master?
Lao Zhu actually didn't blame him for such a big thing!
However, it was difficult to answer the question in front of him, so Zhu Zhongyi could only find a trick.
"Subordinates dare not make rash judgments."
Suddenly, Lao Zhu's brows frowned.
Then he snorted.
"I only have money in my eyes. I brewed such good wine and didn't even know how to send us a jar."
