Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

"Boss, you still know how to make money!"

Looking at the thick stack of IOUs in his hand, Zhou Ping's pupils dilated and he couldn't help but get excited.

There are more than eight million taels!

Among them, the three sons of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance alone took out 350,000 taels!

"Not enough..."

Zhou Zheng glanced at these IOUs, and there was not much excitement on his face.

You know, the monthly military pay for the more than 70,000 Zhenbei Army is not a small figure.

Moreover, in order to completely control the northern land, it is natural to expand the number of troops.

At its peak, the Zhenbei Army numbered 300,000.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng felt a little headache.

It seems that we need to increase the speed of making money.

Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Ping's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

As expected of the boss, his personality and vision are beyond the comparison of ordinary people.

"But boss, what should we do if these boys are cheating?"

When this idea came up, Zhou Ping felt a little worried.

"Don't worry, they won't dare."

"Even if they dare, the families behind them don't dare."

Zhou Zheng is not worried. These are all aristocratic families in the capital, all famous families, and all descendants of high-ranking officials.

The most important thing they care about is face.

Besides, if he really refused, Zhou Zheng wouldn't mind taking the IOU and going to their mansion in person.

At that point, it won’t just be as simple as asking for money.

"I remember that there are far more aristocratic families in Kyoto than these people. How about you try to hook up again?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ping looked panicked and waved his hands quickly.

This time, even though he was asked to help Zhou Zheng eliminate the tricks and hidden stumbling blocks around him, he also got a lot of information and even extorted a large amount of money.

But the more this happened, the more Zhou Ping's image and status in the hearts of the world shrank.

Now let alone Kyoto, looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that no one is willing to be with Zhou Ping anymore.

After all, the price for bragging and drinking wine together is a starting price of one hundred thousand taels of silver.

With such numbers, who dares to provoke Zhou Ping?

"But boss, if you want a dollar, there is another way."

Zhou Ping rolled his eyes and smiled evilly.

Um! ?

Zhou Zheng was equally curious.

“Yoonji!”

"He is in Xiang County at this time. As long as you are willing, boss, Bai Huahua can have as much money as he wants, right?"

After being reminded by Zhou Ping, Zhou Zheng remembered that when he destroyed the entire Shangtu Village, he sent Yin Ji back to Xiang County.

It's just that so much time has passed, but the Yin family has remained calm and has never taken the initiative to look for Zhou Zheng.

"Don't worry, Yoongi still has some uses."

His eyes narrowed into slits, and Zhou Zheng spoke thoughtfully.

In a few days, we will leave for Lujiang County.

That's the territory of King Runan.

"I wonder how much King Runan loves his godson..."

When he talked about King Runan, Zhou Zheng's tone became colder.

......

"Master Xu is brave enough to come see me at this time."

In the inner hall, Zhou Zheng looked at Xu Yuan and spoke in a deep voice.

"No matter when I meet the prince, it makes no difference to those people."

Xu Yuan smiled bitterly.

As the governor of the Kyoto Yamen, although he is not a high-ranking official, he still holds an important position.

There are many officials who want to get closer to Xu Yuan, and even the princes are also fighting for it.

But now Xu Yuan has already become a member of the prince's faction.

Therefore, all officials in the DPRK and the Central Government kept a respectful distance from them and drew a clear line between them.

"It's really difficult for Mr. Xu."

"But the choice is still in Mr. Xu's hands."

"As long as Mr. Xu is willing, I can tell the world at any time and keep a distance from Mr. Xu."

Zhou Zheng naturally knew Xu Yuan's difficulties.

Then he sighed softly, showing an upright sense of justice.

But Xu Yuan couldn't say anything.

Before, there might have been a chance to break away from Zhou Zheng, but as soon as Zhou Ping's incident came out, who would believe it now! ?

No matter what the relationship between him and Zhou Zheng was, it didn't matter anymore.

Because in the eyes of the world, Xu Yuan is a definite princeling.

"The sun and the moon can tell you how much you follow the Crown Prince, and you will never have any second thoughts!"

However, Xu Yuan was smart and thoughtful, and he quickly stood up and knelt down to Zhou Zheng.

"Master Xu, why is our relationship like this!?"

"However, Mr. Xu came to look for me at this time. Why?"

Zhou Zheng helped Xu Yuan up and went straight to the topic.

"May I ask the prince, when will you leave for Lujiang County?"

Xu Yuan frowned, and then spoke hesitantly.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say. I think you also know my temperament."

Zhou Zheng had already vaguely noticed that something was wrong.

"Prince, do you still remember Yanchun Tower?"

Biting his lip lightly, Xu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he did not dare to look directly at Zhou Zheng.

Um! ?

Sure enough, when he heard the words Yan Chun Tower, Zhou Zheng's heart sank.

"In three days, Yan Chunlou will take action against the Crown Prince..."

As the governor of Kyoto Yamen, you can inspect any place in the imperial capital.

Just yesterday, Xu Yuan received a secret report that Yan Chun Tower was ready to attack Zhou Zheng.

If it was an ordinary force, Xu Yuan would disdain it, but this Yanchun Tower is not ordinary.

It is not only one of the top ten flower buildings in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the power hidden behind it is even more extraordinary.

"Do it?!"

"How do they want to do it?"

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and then asked calmly.

"Make it public to the public that the prince entered the flower house and robbed the courtesan..."

Xu Yuan lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhou Zheng.

Since ancient times, Hualou has not had a good reputation.

No one who cares about their own feathers will set foot in the Flower House, especially those from the royal family.

Once the news breaks out, the impact will probably be huge.

Therefore, Xu Yuan had to tell Zhou Zheng in person.

"Hmph, that's quite interesting."

Zhou Zheng's heart sank. When he went to Yanchun Tower, very few people knew about it!

Unexpectedly, it would come out at this time, which really surprised Zhou Zheng.

"Their main purpose should be to ruin the reputation of the Crown Prince..."

At present, Zhou Zheng's reputation is extremely high, and he has even become the perfect successor of Zhou Zheng in the hearts of some people.

But once the world knew about Zhou Zheng's fight for the oiran in the flower house, the reputation would be different.

"I originally wanted to stay low-key in the imperial capital for a few days, but now it seems that I'm afraid that won't be possible."

Zhou Zheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip with a calm expression.

However, a faint murderous intention had quietly arisen in his heart.

"Do you know who is behind this?"

"have no idea......"

Xu Yuan did not lie, but the identity of the person who dared to do such a thing must not be simple.

"but."

"Xiaoguan heard that behind the Yanchun Tower is King Runan."

......
