Chapter 1189 Poisonous

The emperor took out a map, which marked a lot of places, basically in every state, some of which have been marked with x, but there are still many left, and handed the map to King Qi, "Take this and go to Xuzhou Find Rong Chuan."

King Qi looked at the blood-red mark on the map, felt the smell of blood inexplicably, rolled up the map, "Son, go now?"

The emperor nodded, "Well, he will go back to the palace for you. You change into your clothes and put on a mask to leave. There are already people waiting for you outside the city."

King Qi had a serious expression, "Yes."

In Xuzhou, Chang Lian was taking a rest today, and was accompanying his wife to choose fabrics for the unborn child. After buying fabrics from the shop, he saw the officials in Xuzhou city patrolling.

Dong was puzzled, "In recent days, the number of patrols by officials seems to have increased a lot."

Chang Lian also found out, "Indeed, is there anything else you want to buy?"

Mrs. Dong shook her head, "I've already bought everything, let's go back too, seeing the patrolling officers is really disturbing."

"Okay, let's go home."

The two got into the carriage, and another group of officials passed by. Dong took a look, and then carefully looked at it suspiciously. She didn't look away until the officers and soldiers left.

Seeing that his wife was still pulling the curtain of the carriage, Chang Lian said, "What's wrong?"

Dong lowered her head, "I just saw a person who looks like Rong Chuan."

"You read wrong, Rong Chuan is in the capital!"

Dong smiled, "Maybe because I didn't have a good rest yesterday, so my eyes were dazzled."

In the evening, the Zhou family had dinner, Rong Enqing came, Zhou Shuren went to the front yard, his tone was full of impatience, "Why are you here again?"

Rong Enqing, "...this time I came here with sincerity."

Zhou Shuren, "Huh?"

Rong Enqing opened the box, "Let's take a look this time, my lord."

Zhou Shuren glanced at it, stretched out his hand and shook the bank note, and counted it, 150,000, "Is this sincerity?"

Rong Enqing said: "There will be more after the incident."

Zhou Shuren sneered, "Take it back."

Rong Enqing was naturally not in a hurry, "My lord, this Gu family can also ask other people for help."

Zhou Shuren, "You can go back and tell him that I am waiting for him to find someone to help."

Rong Enqing smiled, took the bank note and left, and left the Zhou Mansion in a good mood. He liked to see Gu Ren anxious, and was also happy that Gu Ren was cheated of money by Mr. Zhou.

Zhou Shuren walked towards the main courtyard with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't procrastinate, and the emperor didn't allow it. It was up to him how much he could cheat within the effective time.

The next day, there was still no morning court. When Zhou Shuren and his two sons left the house, they saw Rong Enqing's carriage. Rong Enqing got out of the carriage, "Today I will send you to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Zhou Shuren hummed, and got into the carriage. Gu Ren was in the carriage, and Zhou Shuren's face turned cold.

Seeing Zhou Shuren sitting still, Gu Ren cursed in his heart, Zhou Shuren's appetite is really big, otherwise he wouldn't come in person, please laugh with him, "I've met Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Shuren hummed, then closed his eyes to rest.

Gu Ren took a look, took a deep breath, and continued to smile, "Here is two hundred thousand taels, please help Master Zhou."

Zhou Shuren didn't lift his eyelids, and continued to close his eyes.

Gu Ren really wanted to kill Zhou Shuren right now, but he couldn't, so he had to endure it, "There are still one hundred thousand after this is done."

Gu Ren looked at Rong Enqing, Rong Enqing spread his hands to signal that he could do nothing, Gu Ren squinted his eyes, anyway, there is no need to cash in after the matter is completed, and said, "After the matter is completed, two hundred thousand taels, this can't be more .”

He still has a total of 300,000 taels in his hand, and there is nothing more. He earns a lot of silver every year, but spends more. This is already the largest sum of money he can spare.

Zhou Shuren thought about it, and finally opened his eyes, "It's not impossible to make this official an exception."

Gu Ren sneered in his heart, what kind of upright officials are just looking at the amount of money, he has seen a lot of such upright officials, what happened in the end, he was bribed, but he didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "My lord, please tell me."

Zhou Shuren said: "I'm just helping out, but it's 300,000 taels, and 100,000 taels after it's done."

Zhou Shuren saw Gu Ren's face changed,

I knew it well, 300,000 taels was the most money Gu Ren could come up with, "You and I are a one-shot deal, I don't trust you, 300,000 taels, you give it to me now, I will send someone to go immediately Deliver the letter."

Gu Ren clenched his fist, 300,000 taels. This time, he basically spent all the money he could use in order to bring in more ointments.

Zhou Shuren closed his eyes again. He was not in a hurry anyway, but he was thinking about where all the Gu family's money went. Tsk tsk, rebellion is such a waste of money. If you don't do some shady business, it's really hard to get so much money .

Zhou Shuren thought of the treasury of the Rong clan. There must have been many families who wanted to rebel at the end of the previous dynasty.

It's a pity that several big families made a round of calculations, but they didn't get much, and they were all taken away by the emperor. Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, and the Rong family was the tool people who gave money to the emperor!

Rong Enqing coughed, reminding the Ministry of Accounts that it was coming.

Gu Rencai said, "Alright, Lord Zhou, please keep your promise."

Zhou Shuren opened his eyes, "I am not a treacherous and ungrateful villain."

Gu Ren first handed the box to Zhou Shuren, "The remaining 100,000 taels will be delivered."

Zhou Shuren looked at the box, but didn't do anything. He didn't forget to poison him last time. He looked at Rong Enqing from the corner of his eye. Rong Enqing understood and reached out to take it.

The carriage stopped, Zhou Shuren got out of the carriage, Jin Yan stepped forward, took the box from Rong Enqing's hand, and the carriage left quickly.

Zhou Shuren looked at the box with excitement, and said to Jin: "Check if there is any poison on it."

You only have one life, so be careful.

After listening carefully, he took out a handkerchief and put it on the box, "The villain will go now."

"Um."

In less than half an hour, Jin Yan came back first, "I checked carefully, there is no problem."

Only then did Zhou Shuren feel relieved, and another quarter of an hour later, the remaining 100,000 yuan was delivered. This time, the box was a little too bright, and Zhou Shuren had reason to believe that Gu Ren could not swallow this breath.

Zhou Shuren looked at the boy holding the box, pointed to the table, "Just put it down."

The boy froze, "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

Zhou Shuren, "...No need, I can trust you."

The servant didn't give up, but he had no choice but to let go honestly and was taken out.

As soon as the servant left, Zhou Shuren took a few steps back, and when Jinyan came back, he pointed to the box, "Be careful, I think something is wrong."

Strong poison should not be possible, it is estimated to be chronic.

Jinyan carefully wrapped the box with cloth, and took it down, before Zhou Shuren sat back on the chair, thinking in his heart, this money is not easy to hold!

In the palace, the emperor had already got the news, the emperor knew about it faster than Zhou Shuren, the box was not poisonous, but the bank note was poisonous.

The prince asked, "Then, should I exchange this one hundred thousand taels of silver note for Mr. Zhou?"
