Chapter 276 Guo Zhang Zhou Kui

Zhou Kui grinned, he was in pain. Looking at the whole portion of scrambled eggs on the table, he glared at Liufu, a servant beside him.

I asked you to increase the portion of this prodigal thing, but I didn’t let you fry so much. There must be seven or eight eggs on this plate?

Liu Fu did not think so. In his perception, the reason why the father-in-law was able to turn over was not entirely due to the help of His Highness the Crown Prince. If it weren't for His Highness the Crown Prince, the father-in-law would have been sent to Liaodong to repair the city walls long ago.

Your Highness the Crown Prince is so good. Not only did he save the father-in-law, but he also helped the father-in-law make a fortune. Since the father-in-law ordered him to add more portions. Originally, I fried eight of the fried eggs with six scrambled eggs in a plate. I think that Your Highness the Crown Prince must be very happy.

Zhu Cilang was really happy. He pulled the porridge in the bowl, took half an egg into his mouth with one chopstick.

Looking at Zhu Cilang's eating behavior, Zhou Kui grinned with great distress. That's not all, Zhu Cilang just ate it, and he had to say: "Well, grandpa, your chefs in your house are good at crafting skills. These fried eggs are better than those fried by the imperial chef in the palace."

Zhou Kui complained secretly. If he had known this, he would have told the chef to sprinkle more salt. In this way, his good grandson would not have eaten so much. He was half a young man and was poor. Zhu Cixuan was at this age when he was growing up. He drank a bowl of porridge and gave Liufu the empty bowl: "Liufu, give me another bowl."

Liufu said "Oh", took the porridge bowl and looked at Zhou Kui beside him. Zhou Kui shivered with pain, and had to smile on his face: "Eat more, eat more, and eat more, and eat more to grow taller."

"Well, grandpa, you can eat too. Grandpa, the chefs in your house are very skilled, and the cooking temperature is good. It seems that I will have to come here often in the future."

When he heard that it was often here, Zhou Kui's eyes immediately turned straight. He wanted to refuse but it was difficult to refuse, and his face looked quite embarrassed.

Luo Yangxing, who was standing next to him, held back his laughter and rescued him: "I think it's not because the chef in the father-in-law's mansion is so good, but because His Highness is hungry. How can the chef in the mansion be as good as the imperial chef in the palace? Master, do you think so?"

Zhou Kui was overjoyed and immediately gave Luo Yangxing a grateful look, nodded hurriedly, "It's very good. The chefs in my house are really bad. The food they cook is so unpalatable, but today it's a coincidence, it's just a little bit delicious. On weekdays, you can't make such delicious things."

Zhu Cilang was stunned and stopped the chopsticks in his hand: "Oh, is it grandpa? This is not possible. You are so old, how can you not enjoy it? In this way, you opened the chef and I will get you a few imperial chefs from the palace. The wages are a little higher, and it is only 100 or 80 taels a month. But the imperial chef has good skills, so it is convenient for me to come to eat for free in the future."

When Zhou Kui heard this, his expression changed again. He was robbing money for a chef with a high salary.

Fortunately, Zhu Cixuan seemed to just talk casually, because he quickly changed other topics: "Hey, when it comes to this wages, I remembered one thing, Grandpa, have you been involved in someone recently?"

Zhou Kui looked confused. He looked at Zhu Cixuan in confusion: "Your Highness, I don't go out of the gate every day, and I'm very disciplined. I never wanted to make a grudge with anyone, I don't know why your highness said these things."

Zhu Cilang gave Luo Yangxing a wink. Luo Yangxing touched it from his arms and found several files: "Mr., the information I received from our Jinyiwei recently seems to have been revealed to you."

Zhou Kui was shocked and then took the files. He couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it. These were all evidences of his previous relationship with the officials and committing bribes.

Luo Yangxing continued: "Han Anping, the right counsel of the Youchunfang of Zhanfu, was sent to the imperial prison for corruption and bribery a few days ago. This is his confession in the imperial prison. The confession is clearly written. During the Spring Festival of the sixth year of Chongzhen, he presented a pair of jade Ruyi and two Western military horses to the father-in-law. This is the emperor's official, Hou Ning, the Ministry of Revenue Baochao Tushiju, who went to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of the court. In addition, the Ministry of Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry, Zhuang Yichun and the father-in-law occupied 300 hectares of land in the suburbs of the people in the tenth year of Chongzhen..."

These are all old accounts of Chen Zhima Languzi. For some reason, the Jinyiwei suddenly turned it out again. Zhou Kui became more and more angry as he looked at it: "Slander, these are all slander! I have already donated two million taels of silver to the court. These people still want to slander me, which is outrageous!"

"One hundred and eight hundred and eight hundred and million taels of grandpa." Zhu Cilang corrected him.

Luo Yangxing sighed helplessly: "My father-in-law, this fact is helpless. These three people were arrested and imprisoned for corruption, and their confessions were submitted to the imperial court."

Zhou Kui said coldly: "Even if I give it to Master Long Live, I'm not afraid. These are old accounts. What can I do if I tell you now? At worst, I'll just search my house and punish me!"

Recently, the Jinyiwei has been constantly moving, but he has only captured some small shrimps in the capital. A corrupt official under the sixth rank has been arrested a lot in these days. Zhu Cixuan decided to adopt a strategy of long-term flow and erosion. Since those important officials cannot be investigated, we should start with the small officials in the capital.

As a result, the radish was pulled out and the mud was brought out. These officials had had dirty deals with Zhou Kui.

After all, Zhou Kui is not easy to fool. Even these cases are true. He has donated the dirty silver, and Emperor Chongzhen has already agreed. Could it be that he has even turned over old accounts to deal with his crimes?

But who knew that Zhu Cixuan took out another manuscript from his arms. He said mysteriously and in a deep voice: "Grandpa, things are probably not that simple."

Zhou Kui looked at the manuscript in Zhu Cixuan's hand and couldn't help but be shocked again: "What is this?"

Zhu Cilang looked around and lowered his voice mysteriously: "This is from the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, my father's imperial table. This is my father's handwriting, you might as well take a look at it myself."

This is indeed the draft of Emperor Chongzhen of the Qianqing Palace. The characters on it are also the handwriting of Chongzhen. Zhou Kui could recognize it at a glance, but the words under the draft immediately made Zhou Kui tremble.

The words on the manuscript are scattered, as if they were swiped by Emperor Chongzhen. However, the pieced together generally means to get rid of the father-in-law.

Because the whole piece of paper is full of words such as killing, not killing, killing, not killing. In other words, Emperor Chongzhen was hesitating whether to kill Zhou Kui, the father-in-law Zhou Kui. It would be strange if Zhou Kui was not scared to death when he saw this draft.

In fact, this was written by Zhu Cixuan when he found someone to imitate the handwriting of Emperor Chongzhen. It is not difficult to find a few calligraphy works in Beijing, and it is not difficult to imitate the handwriting of Emperor Chongzhen. Zhou Kui's suspicion would be reasonable, but at this time, Zhou Kui had no doubt at all.

Why, firstly, Zhou Kui was indeed scared to death. Secondly, although this handwriting was imitated by Chongzhen, the rice paper used in this manuscript was a serious tribute paper and a unique tribute paper in the palace, which was not found in the folk. In other words, even if someone faked it, he could not make it.

Little did they know that it was not easy for Zhu Cilang to take a few pieces of imperial paper from the palace.
