Sure enough, as Xu Hao expected, the old couple went to the official office to look for Yu Tao, but they didn't even enter the door.

At first, the old couple didn't care, after all, the servants didn't know people, and it was common for idlers and miscellaneous people to approach this important place in the government. Because of the twenty taels of silver given by Mu Ningxue, he was not in a hurry, he lived in the inn with food and drink, and Chang Lao went out to inquire around from time to time.

Soon learned that the Yu family lived in the back house of the yamen, which was in charge of grain, and also heard that Yu Tao was going to greet his boss early that morning, so he often went to bed early, got up at five o'clock the next day, and waited at the street corner opposite the yamen.

Who knew that Yu Tao, who was going out, saw Chang Lao without any surprise, but frowned and said a few words, gave a long follow, and hurriedly got into the sedan chair and left

Chang Sui took out two taels of silver and handed them to Chang Lao, asking them to go back to their hometown, and the angry old man trembled, and threw away the silver without looking back.

Xu Hao sighed, there are countless things to take revenge on the past and present, not to mention that Chang Lao has helped the Yu family for ten years. When Yu Tao was about to take up the post of official, he took out all his savings to buy family assets for the Yu family, which was worth more than 100 taels of silver.

There was nothing to scruple about under the rule of King Yan's Mansion, Xu Hao immediately sent all the guards and led the old couple to break into the official office. Then in front of the surrounding neighbors, he told the matter all the time, and in the scolding of the onlookers, he smashed his home all over the place, and then inadvertently found out two thousand taels of silver.

Now Yu Tao is over, after two years of judgment, the embezzled silver is not much according to the standards of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but who made him catch up with the Hongwu Dynasty?

Zhu Di did things no slower than his father, and without waiting for the imperial court to react, within a few days, he swept up and down the Miaozhou Mansion.

Yu Tao and several colleagues were beheaded in public, their belongings were confiscated, and their families were sent back to their hometown to farm. Yu Tao sighed before he died, so that twenty years of hard work in the cold window were ruined, and the whole family was reduced to extreme poverty, and the crime was extremely evil.

The old couple never expected that they would encounter such a tragic scene? was furious, so he scolded the nosy Xu Hao, if someone hadn't stopped him, he almost came to the door and pointed at Xu Hao's nose to question and scold, and took out his own money to bury Yu Tao, and led his daughter-in-law and children back to his hometown.

After the news came back, Mu Ningxue was silent, Zhiyan and Zhiqing accused the old couple of being confused, and the big guys felt worthless for Xu Hao.

Xu Hao said calmly: "This is human nature, don't blame the old man, this is a really kind person." I was impulsive, but I don't regret it. ”

Mu Ningxue stared at him and said softly, "Why don't you regret it?" If you come forward to mediate, then the officials will inevitably take the second elder home to support Tiannian, so wouldn't everyone be happy? ”

Xu Hao said slowly: "I will never let villains like Yu Tao rely on the Yanwang Mansion to rise step by step just for the sake of two lonely and helpless old people, in that case, I don't know how many people's interests will be damaged, and the court will not know how many losses will suffer." ”

Mu Ningxue savored it and said movingly: "I have always been conceited, but today I realized that my knowledge is actually far inferior to yours." ”

It was rare for Mu Ningxue to say a word of admiration, who knew that Xu Hao was a little strange today, there was no joy on his face, and he turned around and left after saying that he was tired.

Everyone thought that he was in a bad mood for the old man's affairs, and no one cared, Mu Ningxue wanted to accompany him, but she was embarrassed, and went back to the room sullenly.

Here, Xu Hao went to sit down in a study in the outer house, playing with a celadon tea cup casually. Later, Li Qiu walked in silently and said respectfully: "In order to verify that Yu Tao's pet concubine has more than 200 acres of land deeds purchased for embezzlement, he secretly transferred it to Yu Tao's wife. ”

"Hmm." Xu Hao perked up and said to himself: "Finally, there is no unjust killing of a good person, alas! In fact, I won't feel guilty for killing me unjustly, when did I become so cold-blooded? ”

Li Qiu said strangely: "Yu Tao is a villain who doesn't know his six relatives, and his reputation is very bad, and everyone in the neighborhood knows that he has sent away his relatives several times like a begging for food." The young master put him to death with silver, and the little one felt that he was really happy, and he should kill this kind of scum directly. ”

Xu Hao frowned after listening, shook his head and poured a cup of tea in his hand, Li Qiu saw this and said: "It's just that the little one thinks it's strange, why does the young master have to kill Yu Tao?" It's a big deal to beat him up and get angry, remove him from his official position, and find a way to make the Yu family destitute, wouldn't it be more relieving? If the two old men are properly settled, the old man will not regard the young master as an enemy. ”

Xu Hao glanced at Li Qiu and said with a smile: "You're right, blame me for being impulsive." Well, you've been tired for a few days, so let's give birth and rest. ”

Waiting for Li Qiu to leave, Xu Hao sighed lightly: "If you don't make a big fuss, how can you let Zhu Di have an excuse to install his own people?" Food is a top priority, never too much. ”

Yanwang Mansion.

Despite being busy all day, the energetic Zhu Di was still full of energy, and in front of him stood a monk with a yellow face and triangular eyes, this person's name was Yao Guangxiao, and his name was Daoyan.

Zhu Di groaned: "You have said several times that Xu Hao's son is not simple, it seems that he has really guessed by you, he has indeed seen through the king's scheme." Otherwise, he would not have arrived in the north for the first time, so he gave two big gifts in a row. ”

Monk Daoyan smiled: "It is not difficult to detect the mind of the prince, compare the heart to the heart, whoever stands in the position of the prince will feel deeply wronged for you, and it is human nature to have the meaning of winning the championship." The poor monk said that the prince's nephew is not simple, because he thinks that this son has been loyal to the prince since he was cast under the door, and he is so far-sighted and resolute at a young age, which is rare. ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "It's really rare, there are countless subordinates of this king, but there are very few who can really be completely loyal to me, I hope Xu Hao has a beginning and an end, otherwise this king will be the first to kill him." ”

Monk Daoyan said approvingly: "Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to perch, and the prince is the lord of the British, not only Xu Hao, but there will be more talents in the future." I just didn't expect Xu Hao to overturn the entire Shandong officialdom with his own strength, and seek the only way for the prince in the future, but unfortunately he started too early, I'm afraid it will not be of much use. And it is a great thing to design and kill Yu Tao, Miaozhou is close at hand, and it is not difficult to keep it firmly in the hands of the prince, and since then he has a granary. ”

Zhu Di nodded and said: "This king does not lack generals who can fight and fight, so he needs such talents who are good at using their brains, except for you, there is a lack of strategists who can give advice." Why don't you beg Bixia to send him over? Then he will become the right-hand man of this king in the future? ”

Monk Daoyan chuckled: "It's too young, it's better to put it in the capital for more use, not only to take the initiative to share the worries of the prince, but also to exercise his experience, why not?" ”

Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "Then according to your advice, His Majesty has always had clear rewards and punishments, how do you say to reward him?" Forget about the money, this kid is not short of money to spend, and we still owe him seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver; As for the field, I'm afraid he is not rare, just open his mouth as much as he wants, who let the princess say that the old lady loves Xu Hao's grandson the most, and he can't wait to send him land and land to please the old man. Scold! This kid is too young to be an official, and his family has no shortage of rare treasures, and the lord of the Mu family is stunning, which makes this king embarrassed. ”

Monk Daoyan smiled confidently: "The poor monk is not embarrassed, he can satisfy the thoughts of the young master of the Xu family." ”

"Huh? Let's hear it. Zhu Di became interested.

Monk Daoyan said with a smile: "The prince may not know that the young master of the Xu family and Zhang Fu, the eldest son of Lord Zhang Yu, are like-minded with each other, and they are called brothers all day long, and once they laughed and said that they would marry their sister Xu to Zhang Fu. Who knew that Zhang Fu liked Xu Gongzi's sister-in-law, and for this reason, he personally begged Shizi Yucheng to do this, but Shizi was depressed and did not agree.

The poor monk thought that Xu Hao had been dragging his sister not to send his sister to the palace, and he must be worried about his sister's future situation. As a human being, he is not happy to see his sister succumb to the princess of the world, and compete for favor with the concubines, Xu Gongzi's move is impressive, and people who attach so much importance to family affection, the prince can rest assured that he will be reused in the future. ”

"So there's still this, it's interesting." Zhu Di nodded, and then sneered, "No wonder Xu Hao disagrees, if I am unwilling to give my sister to someone else to be a child; If you want to blame Gao Chi, he is not angry, as a man, he has no responsibility, he keeps saying that he only likes Xu Qinglian, but he doesn't dare to explain it to Bixia, who is he complaining about?

Well! I think it's very good to give Xu Qinglian to Zhang Fu's child, General Zhang has followed me for more than 20 years, and he has worked hard, this marriage is indeed very good, and as Qinglian, the Zhang family will be very satisfied.

Xu Hao, this kid has a vision, looking at my young people in Yanwangfu, Zhang Fu can be called one in a million, this son is cautious and steady, and sooner or later he will become a big weapon. ”

Monk Daoyan said with a smile: "This is the commonly known heroic sympathy, Xu Hao is a rare talent, so he knows how to appreciate Zhang Fu, who is also a handsome person." In this way, the Zhang family has become a relative of the prince, and the prince does not have to worry about not being able to marry the county lord to the rising star of my Yan Wangfu. Not only can it maintain the morale of the army, but it can also satisfy Xu Hao, which makes the loyal Zhang Fu grateful, which can be called a number in one fell swoop, that is, he has wronged His Royal Highness. ”

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "You don't have to be wronged for him, in fact, his favorite is the princess, as for Xu Qinglian, it is just a common disease of men, and he cherishes it if he can't get it." With his greedy and lustful nature, he will forget about others after a while. ”

"That's for the best, and it saves you the trouble of the future." Monk Daoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
