Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 328 Chapter 328, Zhu Yousong's Secret Envoy, Wang Dayu's Joy Begets Sadness

That night, Fu Wang Zhu Yousong and his party rested at a post station.

It has been nearly 2000 years since Qin Shihuang established the post station system, and the post station system of the entire Huaxia Dynasty is very complete.

This place is not too far from the capital, and it is the only way to go from north to south. However, due to the many wars in the past, this large-scale post station is now dilapidated in many places, and it can only be barely occupied.

This is undoubtedly very unbearable for Zhu Yousong, who has always been pampered.

Zhu Yousong was furious: "There is no hot water, how can I take a bath? Hurry up and send someone to get it, and then go to find two beautiful women nearby to serve the bed!"

Zhu Yousong's personal bodyguard looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this place is dozens of miles away from the nearby cities. The round trip time is really too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

Zhu Yousong said angrily: "Didn't I just see a village and town passing by? Where can I find those local Juren, Jinshi, and ask them to send some over!"

The chief guard was also a little speechless when he heard the words.

One must know that Zhu Yousong was pardoned by the imperial decree of Chongzhen this time. Normal people would think that they should keep a low profile and return to Nanjing quickly. Why did this King Fu not take the usual path?
The chief guard was about to continue explaining, when a guard suddenly came over and reported: "My lord, there is someone outside who calls himself the slave old king and wants to see the lord."

The chief guard said angrily: "Who is the prince, who can be seen by cats and dogs casually? Just drive him away."

The guard hesitated for a moment, then said: "But, that man has the prince's token."

With that said, the guard took out a token.

The chief guard took a look at the token, and was a little surprised: "It is indeed true...My lord, take a look."

Zhu Yousong looked at the token in his hand, his expression changed slightly, as if he remembered something, and said: "Let him in, the king wants to have a secret talk with him face to face, you stay outside."

A moment later, a man walked into Zhu Yousong's room.

The man was about 30 years old, and he was fat. With a friendly smile common to businessmen on his face, he saluted Zhu Yousong very respectfully: "Xiaomin Wang Dayu has seen the prince."

Zhu Yousong snorted and said coldly, "Fan Yongdou sent you here?"

Wang Dayu smiled and said: "Master Fan originally wanted to come to see the prince in person, but after all, this place is in the suburbs of the capital, and the Dongchang and Jinyiwei are very arrogant now, so it is better to let Xiaomin, who runs fast, come to see the prince. Relatively safe."

"Run fast?" Zhu Yousong glanced at Wang Dayu's chubby body, obviously feeling a little funny.

Wang Dayu laughed and did not refute, but took out a stack of bank notes from his arms and placed them in front of Zhu Yousong.

"My lord, this is a small favor from our eight families, totaling 200 million taels. You can cash it at any time as long as you return to Nanjing."

Zhu Yousong couldn't help shrinking his pupils when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the bank note in front of him, showing a greedy expression.

The lineage of Fu Wang is located in Luoyang, which is a big city in the Central Plains, and the annual income is quite amazing.

But since Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang a few years ago, all the wealth of King Fu's lineage has fallen into the hands of the Dashun army.

Zhu Yousong escaped from Luoyang through untold hardships, and was sent to Nanjing by Chongzhen. Now he has the title of prince and nothing else.

200 million is already a huge sum of money for Zhu Yousong.

Zhu Yousong did not take the banknotes immediately, but looked at Wang Dayu in front of him and said, "What do you mean?"

Wang Dayu chuckled and said, "Fu Wang, what we are waiting for is very simple, that is, we hope to continue our previous cooperation."

Zhu Yousong narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Dayu, and said, "Why do you want to inquire about the internal affairs of the imperial court?"

Wang Dayu still said with a smile: "If you are in business, if you can get some wind and grass in the court, it will be a huge profit."

Zhu Yousong snorted and said, "So, it's worth 200 million?"

Wang Dayu smiled and said, "If King Fu can give better information, we can give King Fu more."

Zhu Yousong said: "For example?"

Wang Dayu thought for a while, and said: "Any piece of information that involves Daming's secrets is fine, and every piece of information has its value."

Zhu Yousong suddenly slapped the table and said, "Who is the master behind you?"

Wang Dayu smiled respectfully on his fat face and looked at Zhu Yousong calmly: "The people have no organization, they are just eight ordinary businessmen."

Zhu Yousong's expression gradually became serious, and he said slowly: "You found me when you were in Nanjing. At that time, I really thought you were ordinary businessmen. But after I came to Beijing, I found out You guys are secretly having an affair with Jiannu!"

Wang Dayu shook his head with a smile, and said, "My lord must have made a mistake."

Zhu Yousong sneered and said, "A mistake? Do you really think this king is an idiot!"

Wang Dayu wanted to say something else, but Zhu Yousong suddenly said, "If you can contact Dorgon, this king has something he wants you to bring to him."

Wang Dayu gave a sudden meal.

After a while, Wang Dayu said doubtfully, "What does the lord mean..."

Zhu Yousong became impatient and said, "Can it or can't it?"

Wang Dayu thought for a while, and said: "To tell you the truth, I do have a few shops in Liaodong, and I know some nobles in Liaodong. If the information is really important, I think the nobles should be willing to pass it on to Prince Rui."

Zhu Yousong sneered and said: "Hypocrisy! Take it and give it to Dorgon. Remember, don't read it privately, or you will die miserably."

Wang Dayu put away his smile, carefully took Zhu Yousong's letter into his arms, and said, "Does your lord have any orders?"

Zhu Yousong waved his hand and said, "Go away."

Wang Dayu left.

After Wang Dayu left, the head guard came out from the screen in the corner of the room.

The chief guard asked with some puzzlement: "My lord, since this Wang Dayu is a traitor, why do you want to cooperate with him?"

Zhu Yousong glanced at the chief guard with some dissatisfaction, and felt in his heart that maybe it was time for a new chief guard.

As long as Zhu Cihong can be hit, why not cooperate with Dorgon?

Anyway, no matter how Dorgon wins, it will only blow the prestige of Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong's father and son. Could it be that the group of Jian slaves can still rule the Central Plains?

On the other side, Wang Dayu left the post station in a carriage.

After driving for a while, the carriage suddenly turned into the forest on the side of the road.

After a while, the carriage stopped in the forest. Wang Dayu got out of the carriage and walked for a while, when a small fire suddenly appeared in front of him.

There were several people sitting beside the fire. Wang Dayu was excited and said as he walked, "Everyone, guess what I got from King Fu this time? This is great information. If it is handled properly, then the damned Zhu Cihong will definitely have retribution." Yes! Hey, why don't you talk?"

Wang Dayu's expression suddenly became frightened, and he wanted to turn around and run away.

However, as soon as he turned around, he screamed in fright and almost fell to the ground.

A few men in black appeared behind him at some point, armed with crossbows, aiming at every vital point on Wang Dayu's body.

A hand stretched out from the side, patted Wang Dayu's shoulder, and said with a smile in his tone, "Come on, tell me, how can you make His Royal Highness have retribution?"
