"Grandpa Guo is okay?" As soon as Qi Zanyuan, the commander of the horses, came in, he smiled and said to Zhu Chunchen.

A table of dishes was basically unchanged and steaming, Qi Zanyuan was not polite in a black brocade, and when he entered the middle hall, he sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Hmph, you know that the old man is now alone, but you dare to humiliate the old man? Is it true that the old man has now become a chicken dog to be slaughtered? ”

Although Zhu Chunchen knew that this Qi Zanyuan was not easy to get along with, he was still angry, and said in a fierce voice.

"Where is Grandpa Guo, on this cold day, someone from Qi will not come to you to be majestic, are we like that?

We're here to hold grievances for Grandpa Guo! ”

Qi Zanyuan took a sip of wine and said.

"In this case, the master of the horse came to the old man late at night, what is the matter?" Zhu Chunchen didn't believe that this guy had such good intentions, but his tone softened slightly.

To say that this concubine is Qi Zanyuan, it is the forehead of Princess Suiping in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and this Princess Suiping is the seventh daughter of Zhu Changluo of Guangzong.

In addition to the identity of the horse, Qi Zanyuan's family background is very ordinary, his father is just a small trader on the West Street of Beijing, and his ancestor Jide gave birth to a handsome son, and was selected by Princess Suiping to become a concubine.

So the family got the Taoist chicken dog ascended to heaven, although the father never set up a stall again, but Qi Zanyuan inherited the fine tradition of the Qi family - like to do business.

At the beginning, he only bought a few shops in the capital to collect the goods of merchants, but since the sixth year of Chongzhen, after the death of Princess Suiping, Qi Zanyuan has no scruples.

Relying on his own being the first to go to the horse, he not only bullied ordinary merchants, but also started the trading of merchants, collecting tea and rice grain from the south at low prices and selling them at high prices in the nine borders of the grain shortage land.

And those tea leaves are said to be sold further north, and as for where it is, the nobles know it, but most of them don't care about it, because the nobles can say that all of them are not clean.

Everyone is half a catty, and no one will dismantle anyone's platform.

"Grandpa Guo just lost his title for no reason, doesn't he feel aggrieved in his heart?" Qi Zanyuan still looked like he was smiling.

"Say whatever you want to say, don't be weird with the old man!"

If it had been left in normal times, Zhu Chunchen would have already smashed the plate on Qi Zanyuan's face, and the title of the captain of the horse was equivalent to that of the earl, and how could an earl dare to be presumptuous in the Guogong Mansion.

Didn't you deceive him into losing his status? This made him even more annoyed!

"Haha, don't be angry, brother, I don't mean anything else, I just feel that your ancestors have made great achievements in war, and I don't know how much blood I shed to help Emperor Chengzu succeed.

Now that the emperor has removed your title because of a small mistake, isn't it too mean?

Although I am a relative of the emperor, I also feel very unfair for the grandfather of the country! Qi Zanyuan said this, with a look of sympathy.

Now that this has come to this, what's the use of saying that? Alas, the old man really regretted that he didn't cut that kid with a knife last time when he was in the Governor's Mansion. ”

Zhu Chunchen was ashamed, last time in the Governor's Mansion, it was obvious that Liu Hong almost cut him without a knife, but it was the other way around.

Thanks to Qi Zanyuan's whole mind, he used all his thoughts on business, otherwise he didn't know what to think, Zhu Chunchen probably knew that this person was not interested in political affairs before he dared to say so.

But is that really the case? The corners of Qi Zanyuan's mouth rose slightly.

"Does the emperor still refuse to forgive Grandpa Guo? But if you have the opportunity to meet the emperor in person, you can tell you that you have repented, you can spit out more bitterness, maybe the emperor will be gracious when he is soft-hearted! ”

Qi Zanyuan's face was kind, and Zhu Chunchen was moved.

"Alas, you don't know anything about the horse, the old man thought so too.

But today, the old man invited him to see the emperor, not only did he return in vain, but he was also told by the eunuch that if he dared to enter the imperial city in the future, he would be severely punished for the old man's crimes.

also raided the old man's house and confiscated the old man's property, the old man was still wondering why this was so, so he went to find Gonggong Li of the inner palace supervisor, only to learn that he had been sued by someone.

Alas, don't hide it from Master Ma, the old man doesn't expect the official to be reinstated now, he just hopes to stay in this capital and live in peace. ”

Zhu Chunchen's tone was gentle, and when he talked about the defendant's black instructions, he was also indifferent, and he looked like he had no such thing.

In fact, he was panicked at the time, and the corrupt officials who accused him of being black turned out to be more detailed than An Guohou's.

For so many years, others don't know what shady things he has done, and he himself can't know it?

But there are such people in this world who do not consider what he is doing bad, just as all the prisoners of Shawshank consider themselves innocent.

Zhu Chunchen felt that he had been greatly wronged, and he had nowhere to confide.

"Yes, Grandpa Guo, not only you, but I, the master of the previous dynasty, often encounter injustice!" Qi Zanyuan pretended to be depressed.

"With such a big industry as the horse master, the silver comes in every day, what else is unsatisfactory?" Zhu Chunchen saw that someone was also doing a miserable life, and he suddenly became interested.

"Alas, what is there to do about this horse master, you can't be an official, you can't be in charge of soldiers, don't say it, do a business, and be troubled everywhere!"

It turned out that in August this year, a large batch of tea sold by Qi Zanyuan to the border was seized by the Ministry of War, and the batch of tea was of excellent quality and worth hundreds of thousands of taels.

As a result, Li Banghua not only refused to give it, but also scolded him as a traitor who ate inside and out, and this batch of tea has been shelved in the border town now, and now I am afraid that it has long been covered up.

"Alas, the emperor is ignorant, he actually favors a villain so much, this will be cut off in the hands of this person sooner or later!" Zhu Chunchen said viciously.

"Who's to say it isn't! But whether this Da Ming is good or bad has nothing to do with you and me! Qi Zanchen meant something.

Zhu Chunchen knew that he would never return to the court, and regardless of whether Qi Zanchen was intentional or unintentional, he was just silent.

"However, I recently got acquainted with an adult outside the border gate, and he promised that as long as he can regularly deliver grain and grass to the outside of the border, he will be able to ensure the wealth of the next ten thousand years!"

"Alas, isn't the horse master carried away by power, what is the wealth of eternity, you can also believe the words of these charlatans."

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first, but the grain that someone pulled over from Qi, not only did they not lie to me, but they also gave tens of thousands of taels of silver every time! Say it's hard-earned money! ”

"What is the use of silver? No status is not an ant waiting to die, the old man can almost foresee, the day the old man dies, it will be the time when this family business is gone! ”

Maybe now the imperial court takes into account the face of the nobles and nobles, and does not give a dead hand to Zhu Chunchen, after all, he has been a prince of the country for decades, but what if he dies?

The fate of his sons was almost predictable, and the lightest was confiscation of the family property, and the whole family was exiled to the mosquito miasma of Qiongzhou to suffer.
