Early the next morning, Zhu Ying came out of Prince Yan's Mansion, went to the teahouse to make arrangements, and then prepared to go find Zhu Gaochi.
If he doesn't have connections to help him buy a yard in the capital, he is a merchant and doesn't even have the qualifications.
It may seem that Zhu Gaochi is not very impressive, but in fact his reputation in the capital is quite high.
As the eldest son of King Zhu Di of Yan, he became the crown prince when he reached the crown, and he also had the status of a serious imperial grandson.
The entrance of the teahouse has long been blocked by a queue of people, and there are also some running boys on the reserved path next to it.
They were carrying food boxes in their hands and kept coming in and out, delivering food to various noble families.
Zhu Ying inspected the teahouse and then turned around and left.
What he didn't notice was that diagonally opposite the teahouse, two men were pretending to be sitting at a stall eating Yangchun noodles.
"Master Jiang, that person just now was Zhu Ying."
Mr. Song, who was sitting opposite Jiang Wei, lowered his head and introduced in a low voice.
However, facing Jiang Yu, all the chopsticks he used to add noodles fell off the table. Although there was some distance, he could see clearly with his eyesight.
"It's so similar. Even the temperament has the same feeling."
"Even if they are truly biological father and son, it's rare to have such a resemblance."
"It's unbelievable."
Jiang Wei's eyes fell on Zhu Ying's back and murmured. Even the backs were somewhat similar.
After a long while, Jiang Wei came back to his senses and asked: "The general situation has been investigated, right?"
Song Zhong nodded and said: "Last night I sent someone from my humble position to the Ministry of Household Affairs to inquire. Zhu Ying's son is a merchant. The nearest road is from Peking to the capital."
"In my humble position, I asked someone to check the title deed of this teahouse. It is in the name of King Yan."
"The time recorded by Lu Yin is that he arrived in the capital on the same day as King Yan."
Jiang Wei frowned when he heard this. As a member of the royal family, King Yan naturally had no Luyin records.
But for a businessman to set out from Peking to the capital, it would take more than a month at the earliest.
It can be easily guessed that Zhu Ying must have followed King Yan and came quickly through the inn.
But why did Zhu Ying, whose appearance and temperament resembled that of the Crown Prince, get mixed up with King Yan?
For Jiang Wei, this issue is quite important.
As the fourth prince, there is no way that King Yan would not be aware of Zhu Ying's appearance.
I think of the turmoil surrounding Li Chu in recent days.
Jiang Wei felt a shocking conspiracy coming.
"Master Jiang, should we investigate in secret first, or should we ask His Majesty for instructions before making a decision?" Song Zhong hesitated for a moment, then asked Jiang Wei.
"Go to the Yamen and bring the scroll. I will meet with the Holy Lord immediately."
Jiang Yu finished speaking in a deep voice, stood up and left.
Jin Yiwei is not qualified to investigate members of the royal family and must obtain His Majesty's consent.
In particular, it involves King Zhu Di of Yan.
The current reputation of King Yan is very popular in the entire Ming Dynasty. When King Yan is involved, Jiang Wei does not have the courage to investigate on his own.
No matter what the result of the investigation is, this kind of thing is not something Jiang Wei can handle.
Jinyiwei Yamen is on the same road as entering the palace, so there is no need to detour.
After going to the Yamen and taking Zhu Ying's portrait, Jiang Wei went directly to the palace.
But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was still in the morning court.
As the commander of the Jinyi Guards and a third-rank official, Jiang Yu was of course qualified to go to court.
But how can such a matter be discussed in court?
Of course Jiang Wei understood the importance of this.
In desperation, Jiang Wei could only wait for the end of the morning court, and then report to His Majesty privately.
...
"Brother Ying, I'm not used to living in this house, so I came here to buy a yard."
"If there is any servant in the house who has no eyesight and offends Brother Ying, just tell him and I will give him a severe lesson."
Zhu Gaochi said comprehensively, as if he had some wrong understanding of Zhu Ying's move.
"The eldest prince has misunderstood. Things are going well in the palace. It's just that my teahouse business is so prosperous that it's always inconvenient to come and go."
"That's why I'm thinking about buying a yard outside. I don't want to disturb His Highness Prince Yan too much."
"It's just that I'm a businessman who wants to buy a yard, but I'm afraid I don't have the ability. That's why I dragged the eldest prince out to accompany me."
"The eldest prince must help me with this."
Zhu Ying said with a smile, he could naturally hear what Zhu Gaochi meant.
It sounds like an enthusiastic attempt to persuade him to stay, but in fact it is just a courtesy.
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said that he still had some respect in the capital.
That is, as long as Zhu Ying likes any yard, he can help with it.
Even if the courtyard has an owner, he can work around and make room for Zhu Ying.
As the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Gaochi is not a direct grandson, but he is still a biological grandson.
The emperor's grandson still has some magnanimity. In a sense, this Ming Dynasty belongs to his family.
It's just a courtyard, even if it belongs to an uncle's house, if Zhu Gaochi comes forward, is he worried that he won't be able to ask for it?
If you are an important minister and a noble family, it is not too difficult to find a way.
As for ordinary wealthy families.
Not moving? Haha...
After hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled, bowed and thanked her, and then took Zhu Gaochi to the tooth walk together.
Ya people are the intermediaries for future generations.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a distinction between official teeth and private teeth.
Serious dental practice belongs to the official teeth.
According to Ming Dynasty law, even private teeth must have toothpaste issued by the government before they can engage in this business.
However, the threshold for private teeth is low and the profits earned are relatively dark.
Even many official teeth and private teeth with veneers will secretly play tricks on them, let alone those without veneers.
Especially in the field of human traffickers, they are generally engaged in private activities.
For human traffickers, the Ming Dynasty law severely punishes them. If they are caught and the evidence is solid, they will be punished by death regardless of their age.
Those who commit minor crimes will be beheaded at a later date, while those who commit more serious crimes will be executed at a later date.
The dental shop in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was very large and lively.
Yahang is not only engaged in house sales. From the perspective of later generations, Yahang in the Ming Dynasty is more like a comprehensive agency and a talent market.
Here you can buy and sell houses, rent shops, and register and replace land titles.
There are also those who are looking for work and recruiting people.
Such as the waiter in a shop, the maid in a wealthy family, the housekeeper, the accountant, and the servant.
Even a series of things including escorts, carriage and horse sales, etc. are all done here.
Poor people don't ask people to make portraits or anything like that.
If you want to find work, you have to wait here.
If a large family needs someone to help them, they will be introduced by Ya Ren and directly follow Ya Ren to select them on the spot.
Due to the different relationship between supply and demand, there are obviously more people who are looking for food than those who are short of people.
Today's Yaren treat these civilians in need like adults.
Without an introduction from a tooth person, it would be too difficult to find a job.
There are too many trivial things among them.
Some shady people even sell people directly.
That's it.
Cars, boats, shops, legs and teeth, they deserve to be killed even if they are not guilty.
Although there are good people among them, there are more evil people, and there is obviously a certain reason for them to be passed down to future generations.
As the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Gaochi, the future heir to the throne of Prince Yan, should be accompanied by bodyguards when he goes out.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Yahang, officials came up to greet him.
Go straight in through the main door and go to the tooth shop to handle relevant matters.
At this time, in the Fengtian Hall of the Ming Dynasty Palace.
With the long voice of the eunuch and eunuch: "Retreat from the court!"
The morning session was finally over.
Jiang Wei immediately went to the Huagai Hall behind the Fengtian Hall through the side door.
After Zhu Yuanzhang came to court, he usually had to handle some government affairs with some important ministers in Huagai Hall.
What Jiang Wei wants to do is to walk on the road from Fengtian Palace to Huagai Palace.
