Rise From the Humble

Originally Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis wanted to use the relationship between Zhu Pingan and Chen Hong to have Zhu Pingan, a person with a special relationship, come forward to send some pearls and other objects to Chen Hong on behalf of the three of them. This would improve the relationship between Zhu Pingan and Chen Hong. Going to the next level, secondly, they can also better cling to Chen Hong.

However, I never expected that the truth about the relationship between Zhu Pingan and Chen Hong would be so horrifying.

Not only was Zhu Ping'an not benevolent to Chen Hong, but he was hostile to Chen Hong. When he was in office in Jingnan, he beat someone else's adopted son and confiscated the tens of thousands of taels of money that the adopted son had worked so hard to steal. When beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Beating his adopted son is not equivalent to beating Chen Hong. Confiscating tens of thousands of taels of silver from his adopted son, isn't that equivalent to confiscating tens of thousands of taels of silver from Chen Hong? After all, his adopted son took advantage of Chen Hong's name and basically dedicated it to Chen Hong when he returned. of. This hatred is not small.

Now, not only can't they use the relationship between Zhu Ping'an and Chen Hong to take advantage of it, but they also have to worry about being angered.

"My dear nephew, can the money you confiscated in Jingnan be returned to Eunuch Chen? If we make peace with him, we might not be able to resolve the feud between you." Wei Guogong hesitated and persuaded Zhu Ping'an.

"Yes, nephew. There is an old saying that goes well, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. No one should offend a eunuch. These eunuchs with weak health are the villains among villains. He is holding a grudge, and if Xiao Ren, who is next to such a holy master, holds a grudge, there will definitely be trouble in the future."

The Marquis of Linhuai also persuaded Zhu Pingan, hoping that Zhu Pingan would return the confiscated silver to Chen Hong so as not to offend the villain.

"Two uncles, when I was in office in Jingnan, the confiscated silver was used as reward money and distributed to the people who defended the city. Now I have nothing in my hands and I can't pay it back even if I want to." Zhu Pingan spread his hands and made a gesture Helpless expression.

Of course, Zhu Ping'an didn't want to pay it back at all. In his own hands, the money could still be taken from the people and used to exterminate the Japanese pirates. If it was in Chen Hong's hands, it would only be the people's fat and the people's anointing, which he would squander and enjoy.

Therefore, no matter whether you have money or not, there is no reason to pay it back.

Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis looked at each other helplessly and sighed. If the money was small, they could still make up for it, but this was tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was not a small amount, and they couldn't make up for it.

"My dear nephew, please wish yourself well."

The two of them patted Zhu Pingan's shoulders sympathetically and no longer dared to bring up the idea of ​​letting Zhu Pingan give gifts on their behalf.

Zhu Ping'an is calm and calm. I have offended Yan Song. Am I still afraid of him as a eunuch?!

Moreover, with Huang Jin and Feng Bao in the palace, he is not without internal support, so there is no need to worry too much.

Besides, I know history. Yan Song will fall sooner or later, and Chen Hong is destined to collapse and be swept into the garbage dump of history. Such a Japanese-era warrior who is destined to collapse is not worth investing in and befriending.

Of course, these are not enough to deal with the Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai.

The moon was shining brightly, and Zhu Ping'an was slightly tipsy. Under the escort of Li Er and others, he passed the curfew checkpoint smoothly and returned to the Yamen of the Procuratorate of Sentence.

"Hey, I didn't know I was coming back. I thought someone was out having fun, sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows, and couldn't care less about Shu."

Zhu Ping'an had just walked into the courtyard when he heard the signature sarcastic voice of the demon Ruonan.

"Why is there such a sour smell in the yard?" Zhu Pingan stretched out his hand and swept it in front of him and said with a smile.

Zhu Ping'an is not a big drinker. He inevitably drank a few glasses of wine today and was in a state of being tipsy and talkative.

After hearing the cynicism of the demon Ruonan, he couldn't help but retort and teased the demon Ruonan with a smile.

"Bah, stop putting gold on your face, stop daydreaming, no one will be jealous of you." The demon girl Ruonan suddenly became like a cat whose tail was stepped on, her hair exploded, and she yelled at Zhu Ping'an aggressively.

"Haha, did I mention you?" Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and said lightly.

Four taels is worth a thousand catties.

When the demon girl Ruonan heard this, her aura suddenly dropped, as if she was overreacting and taking the situation into consideration. However, the demon girl Ruonan soon regained her aggressive momentum and gritted her teeth and said, "Humph, you scholars are used to playing word games. Is it interesting to take advantage of some words?! As expected, men, especially scholars, don’t have any good things.”

"Why, have you taken over all the truth in the world? I can't even say a word, and I always accuse you of being a female boxer?!" Zhu Ping'an tugged at the corners of his mouth speechlessly, spread his hands and smiled. .

If you don't say it, you will acquiesce. If you say it, you will be criticized. This kind of behavior is not good. Zhu Pingan, who grew up under the red flag, supports equality between men and women, but opposes female boxing under the guise of feminism, which is another kind of gender discrimination.

"What female boxer? I'm not a barbarian who talks with my fists!!" The demon Ruonan was stunned for a second, and then gave Zhu Pingan a hard look. Although she didn't understand what female boxer meant, a woman's intuition told her that Zhu Pingan The female boxer he said was definitely not a good thing, so just glare at him anyway.

"Oh, I forgot, you are an antique and can't understand." Zhu Pingan patted his head and suddenly realized.

"Antique?!" The demon Ruonan heard the words, and her whole body seemed to have been greatly stimulated. She repeated it through gritted teeth, pointed at herself, and giggled nervously, looking at Zhu Pingan with murderous eyes. "Giggle, antique Zhu Ping'an! You say I'm an antique?!!"

"Oh, I forgot, you don't understand." Zhu Pingan shrugged his shoulders. Without the experience of two lives, how could he understand modern languages.

"I don't understand?!" The demon Ruonan gritted her teeth and glared at Zhu Pingan, "I understand better than you!"

Zhu Ping'an was stunned for a moment, can you understand? !

"When you say I'm an antique, aren't you just mocking my age?! Are you calling me an old woman in disguise?!"

The witch Ruonan Assassin was almost furious, she clenched her teeth, and the sound seeped out from between her teeth.

No matter what age, women are very concerned about their age. If you say a woman is old, it is equivalent to denying her appearance and charm. It is nothing less than the greatest denial and provocation to a woman.

The witch Ruonan was no exception. When she heard Zhu Ping'an say that she was an antique, she immediately exploded on the spot.

"You are really a talent." Zhu Ping'an was speechless.

Who cares how old you are? When I say antiques, I refer to the two time dimensions of modern times and Ming Dynasty.

"Zhu Pingan, I'm only four or five years older than you!" The demon girl Ruonan glared at Zhu Pingan fiercely, and then said, "Also, I'm speaking for Hua'er. Hua'er made hot food. It's hot and cold, just to wait for you, but it turns out that you are doing well, living outside in the wild, sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows, enjoying yourself and not thinking about Sichuan."

"Ruonan, what are you talking about? My uncle is not like that." Hua'er ran out of the house holding her skirt. She was just warming up the wine soup when she heard the noise and ran out. She happened to hear Ruonan's words. He quickly glared at the demon Ruonan angrily, then ran to Zhu Pingan's side, held Zhu Pingan's arm, and said in a grateful manner, "Uncle, I warmed up the hangover soup, it's just right to drink."

The witch Ruonan staggered on the spot.
