Chapter 436 Atmosphere Change

"Of course, we have all been warned by Mr. Zhao."

After the people in front of Lao Zhu heard Lao Zhu's question, they didn't know what Lao Zhu was thinking. They looked at each other and smiled, with a touch of pride on their faces.

After all, these exceptions are almost only one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand.

When Zhao Zheng let them go, he had a cordial conversation with them.

"Did Mr. Zhao also ask you to be witnesses?"

Lao Zhu smiled, and his words deliberately revealed an obvious comparison. His subordinates also raised their awareness and moved closer to the position of his clothes.

"Master Zhao said to me alone at that time..."

The rich man closest to Lao Zhu began to show memories on his face.

"what did you say?"

Lao Zhu silently approached, wanting to hear more clearly.

Wrong, he was wrong in the past. He tried to get a handle from Zhao Zheng in the past, but he couldn't.

He should get down there earlier, maybe he could break the deadlock earlier.

"Say..."

Seeing Lao Zhu's subconscious eagerness, several people just thought he was curious and didn't think too much.

"Master Zhao asked me to continue to treat the tenants well after I return."

"He will also give advice to us and others in front of His Majesty the Emperor Shengwu, and even show his respect to the great gentry of the world."

"I have never thought that I could set an example for the world just by doing some sorting and even committing deception in the process."

"Master Shengfu's compassion really makes me feel ashamed of my previous cowardice and deceit."

The man's face showed pride first, then admiration, and finally self-blame.

"I'll wait too..."

Then he seemed to have resonated with the remaining people, and they all sighed together.

"That's it?"

Emperor Zhu Chongba was full of expectations, waiting for them to reveal a big news, but in the end he heard a bunch of nonsense that he least wanted to hear.

He looked at the few people who were hiding their faces in shame, and wanted them to say something that didn't exist and what he was really interested in.

But the fact is, no more.

"Didn't Mr. Zhao leave any special requirements for you?"

However, Lao Zhu still refused to give up.

He didn't believe that the Zhao family wouldn't arrange for a group like these people.

Because if the layout wasn't here, then he really couldn't imagine where it could be.

These wealthy gentry perfectly meet their ideological requirements, and they have people and money in their hands.

Although it is not as good as the great gentry, let alone the imperial court, if you look at the whole world and unite, it is still a considerable force.

In addition, Zhao Fu is good at investigating things.

Lao Zhu has always had doubts about Zhao Fu's ability to detect objects. He felt that Zhao Fu would definitely make weapons, but he was not willing to make them for him.

"special requirement?"

Several people shook their heads, thinking that Lao Zhu had a competitive character, and then they followed him.

"Of course not as good as Brother Lan."

"My family property is all local. At that time, I just wanted to go to the capital to help Mr. Zhao, but I guess it was too late in time."

"Yes, you are powerless, no better than Brother Lan."

"By the way, Brother Lan's family's main business is trading. From now on, we can cooperate and complement each other on escorting tax and grain transportation."

"I swear by Shui-Jun, we will not take advantage of Brother Lan. Brother Lan will take the lead. We will be responsible for sending out people to take care of things..."

The direction of the chat, I don’t know where it started, suddenly turned in the completely opposite direction to what Lao Zhu wanted.

Lao Zhu's plan completely failed.

He couldn't understand why the radicals in the Zhao family didn't take advantage of these wealthy gentry.

In this way, doesn't he just need to let the Jin Yiwei keep an eye on the radicals of the Zhao family and prevent them from spreading their ideas, and then he can directly kill the ideals of their entire family?

Could it be that my fear of the Zhao family for more than ten years was all because of my suspicion?

……

"You are just suspicious again."

"If you can't find any problem with him, and you can't find any problem with the most suspicious person below, doesn't that mean he is innocent?"

"Just like this snack, it was fine originally, but you just thought it was poisonous, and then you asked someone to test the drug. The person who tested the drug was fine at the time, and he was fine more than ten years later."

"Could it be that this snack is poisonous when you die a few decades later?"

Nanhe Huangzhuang Palace.

Lao Zhu didn't get what he wanted, and he didn't forget his promise to Queen Ma.

After he obtained the identity of grain chief without any accident, he handed over his disguised identity, let the Jin Yiwei hidden stake connect with him afterwards, and hurried back to Queen Ma.

Naturally, he would not hide anything from Queen Ma.

Facing Queen Ma's persuasion at this moment, for the first time, he did not have any rebuttal and just looked at Erhu.

"Have you sorted out the news reported from the hidden stakes?"

"Your Majesty, there is no problem!"

Erhu stepped forward, handed over a thick stack of folding notes, and then stepped aside.

Empress Ma didn't interrupt at this time, and just looked at Emperor Zhu Chongba.

Emperor Zhu Chongba, on the other hand, quietly looked at the thick pile of folding documents placed by Erhu on the desk.

The palace was quiet for a while.

Only Yu'er was filling Queen Ma's water, while Wang Ban was waiting outside the palace for the occasional small sound from the imperial doctor dispensing medicine.

despair!

despair!

Finally, his fingers stopped tapping on the desk.

Lao Zhu glanced at Erhu.

For the first time in so many years, his face showed a gentle look.

"Report any abnormalities immediately!"

Call ~

In the hall, whether it was the spring breeze sneaking in from outside the door or someone secretly letting out a long sigh of relief, the atmosphere instantly became lively.

"Yes! I will understand!"

Erhu endured the excitement in his heart and took back the fold.

Queen Ma signaled Yu'er not to add any more water, as she suddenly wanted to eat some snacks.

Lao Zhu finally participated.

Finally, there is a traveling atmosphere.

"By the way, Chongba, you probably haven't listened to those gentlemen's storytelling."

"The cross talk they talked about was really novel, a storyteller? When we were monks, we heard countless stories. Could it be that they stayed in the palace all day long and there are still more stories that we haven't heard?"

Look at the girl who is in a good mood and looks good.

The wrinkles on Lao Zhu's face also started to smile.

"You've never heard of it."

Queen Ma pretended to be secretive and signaled Yu'er to ask some storytellers to come over.

"We should listen and see what's going on."

As usual, Lao Zhu became Queen Ma's admiration.

After a while, Yu'er came to the scene with several storytellers.

Lao Zhu had already started eating snacks and was getting ready to watch the show.

"Where is the other gentleman?"

Queen Ma realized something was wrong first, and half of the smile on her face disappeared.

Lao Zhu's joy naturally disappeared and he looked at the three storytellers.

He still remembered the scene where a storyteller fell ill in front of him yesterday.

"Your Majesty, the storyteller is still receiving treatment from the imperial physician. Please ask Yu'er to convey his apology."

Yu'er reported truthfully.

"No big problem, right?"

Lao Zhu didn't wait for Queen Ma, quickly turned around, and then asked Xiang Yu'er.

Erhu behind him quickly winked at his wife Yu'er, who naturally understood.

"Your Majesty, everything looks fine."

"That's good, sister, don't worry, you look like this, let's let the imperial doctor take care of you! If it doesn't work, let's drop by to see Lao Wu!"

After hearing Lao Zhu's words, the worry on Queen Ma's face finally faded a bit.

"Excuse me, gentlemen."
