As soon as Zhu Cihong left, Chang Yu also left immediately. He was going to be the Supervisor of Ceremonies. When he passed by Qianqing Gate, he couldn't help but look up at the towering tower and secretly made up his mind: Be prepared with both hands. If you can't do it, I will You still have to do it in person, and you need to get some financial resources for yourself for the future.
In the Li Jian, Wang Dehua and others gathered here to discuss matters. The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and some people even had bruises on their faces. This made Chang Yu very confused. After a brief inquiry, he immediately became furious.
It turns out that everyone set up a trap to fish for those nobles and killed more than 500,000 taels of silver from more than ten people in just three days. It was completely unscrupulous and very satisfying.
But such a loss of conscience naturally caused some people to go crazy. In fact, if there are more than ten people, each person only has an average of tens of thousands taels, which is not a problem for such a wealthy family. However, people are pulling out the wool and deliberately grabbing Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen. , for example, Zhu Chunchen was robbed of 200,000 taels by himself. Even a big owner felt heartbroken. This guy immediately lost his rationality.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of these fat pigs, Chang Yu worked in parallel with overt and covert support. More than a dozen powerful eunuchs plus the prince, Gong Yonggu and those nobles interspersed and gambled with each other. Of course, the big winner in the end was fell on them.
Zhu Chunchen, who was anxious to lose, did not dare to make too many mistakes against Gong Yonggu and the prince, but he could not bear these eunuchs. After the prince left after the boxing match last night, the old guy started to cheat and caught the few people who had won his money. Let's stop talking about it. It would be fine if these eunuchs were in the same position as him in normal times. But now that he has three major backers, the emperor and prince Chang Yu, he is naturally not afraid of him. Even if he loses one son, no matter what Zhu Chunchen says, it is not enough. Jin Shishuo disagrees.
This immediately made Zhu Chunchen, who had lost his sight, jump over the wall. In anger, he directly started beating people. If we talk about the power prison, except for the emperor's confidant Wang Chengen and the imperial horse prison commander Wei Dahai, he did not attack these minions. Taking this into consideration, he moved his hands out of anger.
But it angered Chang Yu.
"Give me all the bets." Chang Yu's face was calm and his tone was indifferent. The supervisors could not see any emotion or anger from his expression, so they all took out the bets.
Chang Yu took a stack of bets in his hand and checked them one by one, then kept only those of Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen, and returned the rest to everyone, "You go ask for these in the afternoon, and I will take care of these two old dogs." Yue stuffed his arms into his arms and swept Wei Dahai away: "I asked Lao Hu to explain your affairs, have you done it?"
In addition to commanding the emperor's four personal guards, the Royal Horse Supervisor also has another function, raising and training horses, and providing war horses for the royal family and some of the personal guards.
Horses are steeds, one in a hundred, and there are nearly a thousand in number.
And now Chang Yu wants to recruit these royal horses in the palace to train his eunuch army. As a special force that will prepare to fight with him in the world in the future, it is natural that they must be able to mount horses to kill enemies, and be good at riding and shooting.
More than two hundred eunuchs took a half-morning break, finished lunch, changed their clothes, and stood neatly in the middle of the pasture field. In front of them were an equal number of tall horses.
"I'll leave it to you this afternoon," Chang Yu said, looking at Wei Dahai. The Royal Horse Eunuch is responsible for raising and training horses. Naturally, there are many eunuchs with excellent riding skills. Now they have been assigned to serve as temporary coaches.
"Do your best!" Wei Dahai smiled slightly.
"It's not about trying your best, it's about necessity." Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and Wei Dahai quickly straightened his expression, clasping his fists and saying yes.
Chang Yu turned to look at Wei Zhong, the chief eunuch of the Xixin Division: "Hold on to that object."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Chang. If you can't get three hundred sticks of wood in one afternoon, then the Xixin Company will be useless." Wei Zhong cupped his hands and said with a smile. Chang Yu ordered three hundred wooden sticks from him, which is especially useful for supplying charcoal to the palace.
It really doesn't matter to the department.
Chang Yu stopped talking and stood quietly watching the eunuchs practice riding horses under the instructions of the coach. In fact, all the horses in the palace have been trained. It is not difficult to control them. The key is to practice riding skills.
Not long after, Zhu Cihong came to the grass field with a group of guards. He waved to Chang Yu from a distance: "Let's go!"
Dingguo Gongfu is on Dingfu Street, and Chengguo Gongfu is right on Chengfu Street.
There was a carriage parked in front of Duke Cheng's mansion. Zhu Cixiang was sitting in it, lifting the corner of the curtain and peeking out secretly. Chang Yu stood by the carriage window and looked up at the grandeur of this old and wealthy family. A guard from the Prince's Palace was banging on the door.
Soon the door opened and a servant came out. He glanced at the guard and his face tightened. He glanced at the carriage in the distance and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the house.
Chang Yu waved his hand, and Song Renfeng, Cheng Chongdao and three or four guards rushed over and stood at the gate, kicked open the door and shouted: "Pay back the money, pay back the money."
The shouting didn't matter, more than a dozen servants rushed out from inside and pushed the guards outside. The two groups of people kept shouting and pushing each other.
Zhu Cixi sneered. He had been here several times, but each time he did not get out of the car or show his face. This is the rule, because it is a big event for the prince to leave the palace, and it is even more important to arrive at the courtier's house. The courtiers also need to bathe, change clothes, and put on court clothes to make a grand display.
Open the door to welcome you, otherwise it will be disrespectful to violate the rules.
But Xiao Zhu is here to ask for a debt. He doesn't need to show off and give money, and he will never show his face until the critical moment. But even so, Zhu Chunchen knows that he is coming, and he has the understanding to not point it out. If you don't get out of the car, I will
Just pretend not to know, after all, both of them want to face each other.
Zhu Chunchen may have been the most angry in recent days. He lost one hundred thousand taels of silver for the first time, but Zhu Cixiang came to ask for the account the next day with an extremely arrogant attitude. He finally paid some deposit and sent him away, and he went straight to it the next day.
People broke into the house and smashed it, leaving no face at all. And that night, I wanted to make money but was blackmailed for more than 100,000 yuan. Now, it's 200,000 taels. Even the rich will have to dig out the flesh and bleed.
I was really afraid of what I was going to get. Just when I was thinking about how to pay for the two hundred thousand, the servant came to report and beg for money again, and there were a lot of people with him.
Damn it! Zhu Chunchen was so angry that he smashed the tea cup in his hand. He really couldn’t understand that it was such a big deal for the prince to leave the palace in every dynasty. How come this guy’s leaving the palace now is as simple as visiting a farmer’s house? The palace rules are now just decorations?
What should I do? If I give it, I will feel bad, but if I don’t give it, how can I default on the debt? Zhu Chunchen was restless, thinking about how to send this guy away first, and then go to the palace to find Chongzhen to plead for mercy. He could avoid it as much as possible.
"Master, the call is coming, the call is coming." Just as Zhu Chunchen was racking his brains, another member of the family ran in in a panic.
"Who, who called in?" Zhu Chunchen was a little confused, with a look of astonishment on his face.
"The guards of the Prince's Palace followed a eunuch into the front yard and injured several of us..."
"presumptuous"
Zhu Chunchen was furious. He didn't expect that Zhu Cixiang would be so ignorant when he mistook his youth for ignorance. Last time, he only made a hole in front of the screen wall and cut down some flowers and trees, but he did not formally enter the hospital. This time he not only entered the house but also beat him.
Hurt people.
Wait a minute, there is a eunuch following? Zhu Chunchen was startled: "What does that eunuch look like?"
"Bai Bai, no more than 20 years old, with a very bad attitude. He ordered the guards to hurt people..."
Damn it! Zhu Chunchen immediately knew who it was, kicked the chair next to him hard, and rushed out of the room.
The Duke's Mansion is not an ordinary large house. Although it is not as big as the Imperial Palace, it is in fact not inferior to the Royal Mansion. The pavilions, terraces and pavilions are lined up in rows, and one courtyard contains several courtyards. It is also huge and scary.
Chang Yu led Song Renfeng and six or seven others along the way, encountering people and hitting others, and went directly to the main hall of the second entrance. He found a chair and sat down. A guard beside him quickly found a kettle and helped him make a drink. Tea.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then turned to look at the servants surrounding him with a smile on his face: "I'll give you half a cup of tea to call the Duke. If you don't wait after a while, don't blame us for continuing." There was a break-in inside."
Before he could even finish his words, a sharp voice came from inside: "You are a gelding, you should come here to show me."
