Lord, I will write novels to support you
Chapter 57
Tang Ke's murderous aura dissipated instantly, and he was stunned. After three long seconds of silence, he finally came back to his senses, "...son?...Dad?"
Zhu Houxue was stunned for a moment by the sudden call of his father, ignored Tang Ke, and looked over his shoulder to look at Zhu Wenzhen, "Have you had enough trouble?"
Zhu Wenzhen shrank his head and moved closer to Tang Ke, raised his hand to grab his arm, and called "Father" in a low voice.
Zhu Houxue sighed and shook his head, and told the guards who blocked Tang Ke's two people just now, "Take Xiang'er to the next door and wait, I have something to say to Xiao Ke alone." After speaking, he turned around with his hands behind his back and stepped into the compartment.
Looking at Zhu Houxue's undeniable back, Tang Ke couldn't help but slander. With such an aura, it's no wonder that Xiang'er treats others like that.
Zhu Wenzhen was a little worried, afraid that his father would embarrass Xiao Ke, so he grabbed Xiao Ke's arm and wouldn't let go.
Tang Ke patted his hand, grinned and said, "It's okay, I'll come out later and take you home."
Xu was infected by Xiao Ke's attitude of lifting weights lightly, Zhu Wenzhen felt a little relieved, hesitated for a while, and was led to the next door.
Tang Ke entered the cubicle, and Zhu Houxue sat down on the couch casually, with a normal expression, but a majesty of his own.
Hong Rong stood next to Zhu Houxue, and behind him was a row of plainclothes guards.
Tang Ke took a second look at the leading guard, then looked away again.
Zhu Houxue raised his finger and pointed to the seat beside him: "Sit."
Tang Ke bowed to him and was not polite to him, so he really sat down next to Zhu Houxue.
"My eldest son has encountered some troubles recently. For the sake of his safety, I arranged for him to stay at home, but he was disobedient and escaped to your place. I will trouble you to take care of him during this period. Take him back today."
After Zhu Houxue finished speaking, he looked at Tang Ke, but Tang Ke didn't speak.
Hong Rong has been staring at Tang Ke since he entered the door. Now that the emperor asked what he said, it's okay to see that the boy doesn't talk to him. After performing a big play, he frowned for a while and lost his mind, and then shook his head and laughed inexplicably for a while, Hong Rong thought to himself that the little highness might have missed his eyes and fell in love with a fool.
Seeing that Tang Ke still didn't speak, Hong Rong stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "My master is talking to you."
Only then did Tang Ke come to his senses, looking back and forth between Hong Rong and Zhu Houxue.
Zhu Houxue asked helplessly, "Do you have anything to say?"
"There is one sentence."
"Say."
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
As Tang Ke said, he knelt down in front of Zhu Houxue.
Zhu Houxue squinted slightly and looked at the top of Tang Ke's head, took a deep breath, and let it out again, "Get up and talk."
Tang Ke thanked him respectfully and stood up.
Zhu Houxue still pointed at his seat just now, "Sit down and talk."
Tang Ke was an ordinary commoner and an assassin who had taken over the task of assassinating the prince. At this moment, it was impossible for him to say that he had no fear at all when facing the most powerful man in the entire Jin dynasty.
But Tang Ke knew very well that at this time, he had to be calm and calm on the surface, and he must not appear timid and guilty.
So Tang Ke was still not polite this time, and sat down next to Zhu Houxue, but he sat up straighter than before.
"How do you know?" Zhu Houxue asked casually.
Tang Ke grinned, "Guess," and flattered him, "You have such a magnanimity, there is no second person in the world who can match you by a ten-thousandth."
In fact, Tang Ke recognized the pattern engraved on the standard saber of the leading guard behind Zhu Houxue.
Zhu Houxue snorted, "Then let's talk about it, you saved my son about the Zhangjia teahouse, I don't pursue your previous identity, I think you are willing to risk your life to save him like that, it should be the same." Those who like him, in this case, for the sake of my son's safety, I will take him back, and the matter between you and him will be settled after a while."
When Zhu Houxue spoke, he kept looking at Tang Ke's face calmly, his eyes were naturally oppressive, and his words were calm, but it seemed that no one could refuse them.
Tang Ke raised his head and looked back at Zhu Houxue, "Your Majesty—"
Zhu Houxue raised his hand, "Just call me Mr. Zhu here, there is no need to stick to etiquette."
Tang Ke saw that although Zhu Houxue had the bearing of an emperor, he did not put on the airs of an emperor, so he let go of a big stone in his heart, and he did not hide his speech anymore.
From the moment he entered the room and saw the row of guards, Tang Ke guessed that Zhu Houxue was the current Holy Majesty, and the pot exploded in his head immediately, all kinds of information rushed in, and he was full of thoughts for a while.
But the top priority is to deal with the matter of the emperor asking to bring his son back to the palace first, and of course the rest can only be put aside temporarily.
As for the emperor asking for someone, Tang Ke thought about it for a while, and felt that he was not really looking for someone to ask for someone.
It has been more than a month since Zhu Wenzhen ran away from the palace. He has lived in his small house for so long. He doesn't think that the dignified emperor will wait until now to find out his hiding place. Obviously the emperor has let the water go.
Then why did you suddenly appear in the teahouse to block the two of them now?And instead Zhu Wenzhen was sent away, leaving him alone as a little brat to talk?
Tang Ke made a shameless and bold guess, thinking that the emperor was here to find out about him, to see if he was here.
So Tang Ke approached Zhu Houxue with a smile, and changed his words, "Master Zhu, thank you for not pursuing my previous identity. I know you love the eldest son very much. It just so happens that I love him too. Then we are actually in a relationship." Battlefront, right?"
It has been a long time since anyone dared to speak to Zhu Houxue with such a tone and flirtatious posture, and it has never been dared to call him "we".
Zhu Houxue looked at him with raised eyebrows, feeling that this kid was more interesting than he expected.
Seeing that Zhu Houxue's eyes seemed to tell him to continue, Tang Ke cleared his throat and said, "According to Cao Min's humble opinion, I think that if it is really for Xiang'er's benefit, he should respect his own wishes. Obviously, he doesn't want to go back with you." Home."
Zhu Houxue snorted coldly, "He doesn't know the consequences of his actions, let him go, do you think you are helping him? You are harming him."
Tang Ke snapped back unceremoniously, "Why do you think you are helping him?"
"Bold! How can you talk to the master!" Hong Rong scolded Tang Ke in a low voice.
Zhu Houxue raised his hand, "Don't talk too much."
Hong Rong hurriedly fell silent.
Tang Ke continued: "Master Zhu, I was also involved in the incident at Zhang's teahouse. You know who is the culprit and who is responsible for this incident, and I am not confused."
"Now your own house is on fire. Before you clean up the housework, with all due respect, I don't think your huge palace may be safer than my small house."
"You think it's capricious for Xiang'er to be with me, but have you ever thought that what you think is the safest arrangement for him is actually more dangerous?"
Zhu Houxue looked at Tang Ke, was silent for a while, then laughed, and patted Tang Ke on the shoulder, "You are interesting, I like you very much."
Tang Ke smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, you are quite interesting, and I like it too."
These words were too unruly, even if ordered not to speak by the emperor, Hong Rong couldn't bear to listen, and stood behind coughing desperately as a reminder.
Zhu Houxue turned around slowly, glanced at Hong Rong, and Hong Rong's voice healed immediately.
Zhu Houxue turned his head back, grabbed Tang Ke's shoulders, and put his head next to him, "You know, the first time I heard my son say that he likes an anonymous writer, I thought you couldn't keep your head. My son is wayward and insists on protecting you."
"I didn't know until after something happened in Zhang's tea house, hey, your identity is not simple, not only a writer, but also an assassin in your spare time? This is really impressive. With your identity here, I just want to keep it. You can't stay anymore."
"So you see, the first person who wanted to kill you was the most powerful one in Jin Dynasty. In such a situation, are you sure that your small house is safer than my big one?"
Zhu Houxue was very close to Tang Ke, and every word he uttered in his thick voice fell into Tang Ke's ears clearly.
The emperor only found out about his identity as an assassin after the accident at the Zhang family teahouse?
Tang Ke held his breath, his eyes widened in excitement.
The jigsaw puzzle that had been lacking in my mind before was suddenly assembled, and the chaotic situation suddenly became clear.
Tang Ke's eyes lit up, Mao Sai suddenly opened up, and slapped his leg, "...I understand!"
Zhu Houxue was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Tang Ke's reaction to be so strong, and the reaction seemed to be different from what he expected, but he didn't go into it, just nodded and said, "It's good if you understand, I'll take it back."
Tang Ke looked at Zhu Houxue, waved his hands hastily, and said with a smile: "No, you misunderstood, I'm not talking about leading people." He looked at the few people behind Zhu Houxue, and whispered in Zhu Houxue's ear: "Zhu Houxue Master, can we have a chat alone?"
Zhu Houxue glanced at Tang Ke for a moment. He had ordered people to stare at Tang Ke for some time, and he knew Tang Ke a little bit. At this moment, he was not afraid that Tang Ke would really do something out of the ordinary, so he nodded and raised his hand to signal everyone to go out. .
Hong Rong shouted "Master", worried about leaving Zhu Houxue and Tang Ke alone inside.
Zhu Houxue waved his hands impatiently, "Hurry up."
Hong Rong didn't dare to insist any longer, went out with a group of plainclothes guards, and closed the door behind him.
"Let's talk." Zhu Houxue let go of Tang Ke's shoulders, leaned back a little, and put one arm casually on the low table behind him.
Tang Ke took out a crumpled piece of manuscript paper from his pocket, flattened it, pressed it on the low table, and pushed it to Zhu Houxue's hand, "Master Zhu, why don't we make a deal? I'll give you this information in exchange for your son Stay with me for a while, wait until you put out the fire in your backyard, and then we can discuss where your son wants to live, how about it?"
Zhu Houxue glanced at the manuscript paper at hand, picked it up, and looked at it. It was the organization chart full of codes that Tang Ke had written and drawn at the table outside the corridor of the bookstore.
Zhu Houxue raised his eyelids to look at Tang Ke, and sneered, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me."
"Oh, excuse me, pretend I didn't say it."
As Tang Ke said, he raised his hand to withdraw the manuscript paper from Zhu Houxue's hand.
But Zhu Houxue's fingers clenched tightly to prevent him from taking the paper away. The two of them held each side and evened out the wrinkles on the paper, which seemed to exceed the limit of the paper.
Tang Ke laughed helplessly, "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Lord, so it's not good to fight for manuscript paper with me, a brat?"
"Since you know such a secret, if you don't report it, what crime is it, do you know?" Zhu Houxue looked at him.
Tang Ke pretended to be a fool and said: "What secret do I know? It's just a few garbled characters written on it. It's the outline of my novel. It's not a secret. You misunderstood."
Zhu Houxue laughed, "Your mouth...maybe you have to go to prison to pry it open."
Tang Ke shook his head: "I'm an assassin. I'm not afraid of torture, and even less of death. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Zhu Houxue looked at Tang Ke, and was in a stalemate for a moment, Tang Ke said: "If you don't let go or let go, I will tear up this paper, anyway, I remember everything on it clearly."
As Tang Ke spoke, his fingers really exerted force, and there was a slight tearing sound from the middle of the manuscript paper.
Zhu Houxue finally let go, "Okay, I'll think about it."
Tang Ke smiled and immediately let go, "Then rounding up means agreeing? A gentleman's words are hard to follow, so don't waste your money with me, a brat."
Zhu Houxue shook his head and didn't care about him. He read the contents of the paper up and down, his face darkened, "Where did you get the information from above?"
Tang Ke reported the address of the prison factory dark room to Zhu Houxue, and said: "It's been more than a month since the incident of Zhang's teahouse, and I, an irrelevant person, have seen the clues, and the gang you arranged haven't found out yet. Don’t you wonder if shit got in your head or something else?”
Zhu Houxue is naturally skeptical, but this matter involves the face of the Tian family, he can't act too hastily, and was exposed face to face by Tang Ke like this, if he is not considered a tolerant and magnanimous king, he would have fallen out with this ignorant brat at this moment up.
However, he really likes this brat's foolishness, so he doesn't intend to turn against him.
Zhu Houxue put the paper away, and pointed at Tang Ke: "Speaking such outrageous words in front of me, don't you want to lose your mind?"
Tang Ke had already seen that Zhu Houxue didn't intend to take his life, so he was naturally not afraid, and said with a smile, "Then do you want to take it now?"
Zhu Houxue sighed, "Forget it, let's stay on your neck for now." After thinking for a while, he said: "There is some truth in what you said. Maybe there is really little difference between Xiang'er staying in the palace and staying in you, but Your house is too small, you have wronged my son..."
Tang Ke was wronged, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Master Zhu, if you can settle this matter earlier, Xiang'er can go back to live in the palace sooner."
He paused, looked up at Zhu Houxue, and knew that he should not say some things, but he had to say something related to Xiang'er's safety.
"Blood ties are difficult to part with, but if you continue to hesitate, you may lose more than just a son in the end."
Zhu Houxue's face turned cold, and he stared at Tang Ke for a long time. Fang shook his head slowly: "You little brat, what do you know about government affairs? If this matter really only involved blood issues, it would have been resolved many years ago. "
Tang Ke shrugged, "Of course I don't understand, so I just said casually, what can I understand if I am a small commoner and I am not an official in the court?"
Zhu Houxue saw that he was so quick to succumb, he shook his head and said, "There is no need to underestimate yourself like this. If you want to enter an official career, you should be a malleable talent."
Tang Ke smiled, "Thank you for the compliment." After realizing that Zhu Houxue was not too big or small, he leaned forward and asked, "Master Zhu, I've given you the information first, why don't you give it to me?" A small reward for this plasticity?"
Zhu Houxue wanted to see what new tricks he could come up with, "What do you want?"
"Can you send your trusted Imperial Guards to guard outside my house?" Tang Ke said, "I only want people from the third and fourth battalions of the Imperial Guards. Only those two battalions have no one on the paper."
Tang Ke guessed that since the emperor agreed with Zhu Wenzhen to stay in the small house, he would definitely send someone to guard outside his yard to protect Zhu Wenzhen's safety, so instead of letting the emperor send people of unknown origin to increase the risk, it is better to make a name call first. A batch of clean people will come.
Zhu Houxue originally wanted to transfer the imperial guards to guard his small house. The group of hidden guards sent by the Queen Mother might have been enough before, but after the investigation of Zhu Wenqi's matter, it was more serious than he expected, and he felt that it was necessary Additional manpower was sent to ensure the safety of the eldest son.
But Zhu Houxue didn't expect the kid in front of him to be so thick-skinned and so courageous that he would ask him for someone.
"Who borrowed your guts to ask me for an army? How many heads you have are not enough for your mouth!"
Zhu Houxue even changed his claim, but Tang Ke looked into his eyes without any anger, knowing that he had not touched the opponent's Nilin, and said with a smile: "For now, one head is enough, please trouble Your Majesty to worry about it."
Zhu Houxue sighed, "My son was deceived by your mouth, and finally got himself into it?"
Tang Ke just laughed, noncommittal.
Zhu Houxue shook his head, thinking of another problem, and asked, "Have you told Xiang'er what you know?"
Tang Ke replied truthfully: "I never mentioned half a word to him."
Zhu Houxue nodded, "Xiang'er and his younger brother... have a difficult relationship. Before the matter is settled, never mention this to him. Can you do it?"
Tang Ke naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, his expression calmed down, and he solemnly agreed.
Zhu Houxue stared at Tang Ke again, vaguely understanding why his son was fascinated by this poor boy. When he looked at Tang Ke, he inexplicably looked at his daughter-in-law, "If you have the heart, come to me Come on, behave well, maybe I can give you the whole prison factory in the future."
Tang Ke was so frightened that his smile froze, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. Cao Min is really not that kind of material, and I can't bear it."
Zhu Houxue was just talking casually at first, he shook his head and stood up, "That's it, I will find someone to verify your news, if there is a clue, I will send someone to come to you for questioning, this matter needs to be done As soon as possible."
Tang Ke nodded, and asked again: "How can I be sure that it is your people who come to see me, not the prince's?"
Zhu Houxue glanced at him, took off a seal from his waist, held it up, and looked at Tang Ke. Tang Ke understood, and quickly took a piece of paper. Zhu Houxue put the seal on the paper and said, "This private seal is mine. Bring it with you, when I send someone to find you, I will ask him to wear a seal to confirm his identity."
Only then did Tang Ke feel relieved, and stepped forward to help Zhu Houxue walk out the door. He remembered something again, and whispered to Zhu Houxue before leaving the door: "The first guard you brought today should be dealt with as soon as possible, for your own sake." For the sake of safety."
Zhu Houxue glanced at him, "It's not your turn to worry about my safety."
Tang Ke nodded, "Yes, yes." Xin Dao said that this arrogance is indeed hereditary.
As soon as the two walked out, Zhu Wenzhen came up impatiently, shouted "Father", and went to pull Tang Ke again.
Zhu Houxue looked at him coldly, said "I'll do it for myself", and turned to go downstairs.
Seeing Zhu Houxue's paler complexion and stumbling steps, Zhu Wenzhen felt sad, and called him behind his back, "Father, take care of yourself."
Zhu Houxue paused and sighed, "Stay at ease with that brat for the time being and pay attention to safety." After saying that, he led the people away.
Zhu Wenzhen looked at the direction where Zhu Houxue's back disappeared, and was silent for a long time, his eyes flushed.
Tang Ke took a step forward and hugged him lightly. Zhu Wenzhen came back to his senses and raised his head: "What did my father tell you?"
Tang Ke said casually: "It's nothing to talk about, it's just family chatter."
Zhu Wenzhen looked at Tang Ke suspiciously, "He didn't make things difficult for you?"
"No, why did he make things difficult for me?" Tang Ke stared at Zhu Wenzhen's face.
Zhu Wenzhen thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything for the time being, and was worried that his father's people would turn back again, so he pulled Tang Ke in a panic to escape back to the small house as soon as possible.
The two got into the carriage. Zhu Wenzhen thought of his father's sudden visit and left without saying goodbye. He was in a daze when Tang Ke raised his arms and circled the seat. Tang Ke leaned over and asked in his ear: "Are you okay?" Want to tell me? Huh? Lord Jing?"
The author has something to say: The emperor is also a self-raider maniac...
Zhu Houxue was stunned for a moment by the sudden call of his father, ignored Tang Ke, and looked over his shoulder to look at Zhu Wenzhen, "Have you had enough trouble?"
Zhu Wenzhen shrank his head and moved closer to Tang Ke, raised his hand to grab his arm, and called "Father" in a low voice.
Zhu Houxue sighed and shook his head, and told the guards who blocked Tang Ke's two people just now, "Take Xiang'er to the next door and wait, I have something to say to Xiao Ke alone." After speaking, he turned around with his hands behind his back and stepped into the compartment.

"My eldest son has encountered some troubles recently. For the sake of his safety, I arranged for him to stay at home, but he was disobedient and escaped to your place. I will trouble you to take care of him during this period. Take him back today."

Seeing that Tang Ke still didn't speak, Hong Rong stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "My master is talking to you."
Only then did Tang Ke come to his senses, looking back and forth between Hong Rong and Zhu Houxue.
Zhu Houxue asked helplessly, "Do you have anything to say?"
"There is one sentence."
"Say."
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
As Tang Ke said, he knelt down in front of Zhu Houxue.
Zhu Houxue squinted slightly and looked at the top of Tang Ke's head, took a deep breath, and let it out again, "Get up and talk."
Tang Ke thanked him respectfully and stood up.
Zhu Houxue still pointed at his seat just now, "Sit down and talk."

Zhu Houxue laughed, "Your mouth...maybe you have to go to prison to pry it open."
Tang Ke shook his head: "I'm an assassin. I'm not afraid of torture, and even less of death. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Zhu Houxue looked at Tang Ke, and was in a stalemate for a moment, Tang Ke said: "If you don't let go or let go, I will tear up this paper, anyway, I remember everything on it clearly."
As Tang Ke spoke, his fingers really exerted force, and there was a slight tearing sound from the middle of the manuscript paper.
Zhu Houxue finally let go, "Okay, I'll think about it."
Tang Ke smiled and immediately let go, "Then rounding up means agreeing? A gentleman's words are hard to follow, so don't waste your money with me, a brat."
Zhu Houxue shook his head and didn't care about him. He read the contents of the paper up and down, his face darkened, "Where did you get the information from above?"
Tang Ke reported the address of the prison factory dark room to Zhu Houxue, and said: "It's been more than a month since the incident of Zhang's teahouse, and I, an irrelevant person, have seen the clues, and the gang you arranged haven't found out yet. Don’t you wonder if shit got in your head or something else?”
Zhu Houxue is naturally skeptical, but this matter involves the face of the Tian family, he can't act too hastily, and was exposed face to face by Tang Ke like this, if he is not considered a tolerant and magnanimous king, he would have fallen out with this ignorant brat at this moment up.
However, he really likes this brat's foolishness, so he doesn't intend to turn against him.
Zhu Houxue put the paper away, and pointed at Tang Ke: "Speaking such outrageous words in front of me, don't you want to lose your mind?"
Tang Ke had already seen that Zhu Houxue didn't intend to take his life, so he was naturally not afraid, and said with a smile, "Then do you want to take it now?"
Zhu Houxue sighed, "Forget it, let's stay on your neck for now." After thinking for a while, he said: "There is some truth in what you said. Maybe there is really little difference between Xiang'er staying in the palace and staying in you, but Your house is too small, you have wronged my son..."
Tang Ke was wronged, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Master Zhu, if you can settle this matter earlier, Xiang'er can go back to live in the palace sooner."
He paused, looked up at Zhu Houxue, and knew that he should not say some things, but he had to say something related to Xiang'er's safety.
"Blood ties are difficult to part with, but if you continue to hesitate, you may lose more than just a son in the end."
Zhu Houxue's face turned cold, and he stared at Tang Ke for a long time. Fang shook his head slowly: "You little brat, what do you know about government affairs? If this matter really only involved blood issues, it would have been resolved many years ago. "
Tang Ke shrugged, "Of course I don't understand, so I just said casually, what can I understand if I am a small commoner and I am not an official in the court?"
Zhu Houxue saw that he was so quick to succumb, he shook his head and said, "There is no need to underestimate yourself like this. If you want to enter an official career, you should be a malleable talent."
Tang Ke smiled, "Thank you for the compliment." After realizing that Zhu Houxue was not too big or small, he leaned forward and asked, "Master Zhu, I've given you the information first, why don't you give it to me?" A small reward for this plasticity?"
Zhu Houxue wanted to see what new tricks he could come up with, "What do you want?"
"Can you send your trusted Imperial Guards to guard outside my house?" Tang Ke said, "I only want people from the third and fourth battalions of the Imperial Guards. Only those two battalions have no one on the paper."
Tang Ke guessed that since the emperor agreed with Zhu Wenzhen to stay in the small house, he would definitely send someone to guard outside his yard to protect Zhu Wenzhen's safety, so instead of letting the emperor send people of unknown origin to increase the risk, it is better to make a name call first. A batch of clean people will come.
Zhu Houxue originally wanted to transfer the imperial guards to guard his small house. The group of hidden guards sent by the Queen Mother might have been enough before, but after the investigation of Zhu Wenqi's matter, it was more serious than he expected, and he felt that it was necessary Additional manpower was sent to ensure the safety of the eldest son.
But Zhu Houxue didn't expect the kid in front of him to be so thick-skinned and so courageous that he would ask him for someone.
"Who borrowed your guts to ask me for an army? How many heads you have are not enough for your mouth!"
Zhu Houxue even changed his claim, but Tang Ke looked into his eyes without any anger, knowing that he had not touched the opponent's Nilin, and said with a smile: "For now, one head is enough, please trouble Your Majesty to worry about it."
Zhu Houxue sighed, "My son was deceived by your mouth, and finally got himself into it?"
Tang Ke just laughed, noncommittal.
Zhu Houxue shook his head, thinking of another problem, and asked, "Have you told Xiang'er what you know?"
Tang Ke replied truthfully: "I never mentioned half a word to him."
Zhu Houxue nodded, "Xiang'er and his younger brother... have a difficult relationship. Before the matter is settled, never mention this to him. Can you do it?"
Tang Ke naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, his expression calmed down, and he solemnly agreed.
Zhu Houxue stared at Tang Ke again, vaguely understanding why his son was fascinated by this poor boy. When he looked at Tang Ke, he inexplicably looked at his daughter-in-law, "If you have the heart, come to me Come on, behave well, maybe I can give you the whole prison factory in the future."
Tang Ke was so frightened that his smile froze, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. Cao Min is really not that kind of material, and I can't bear it."
Zhu Houxue was just talking casually at first, he shook his head and stood up, "That's it, I will find someone to verify your news, if there is a clue, I will send someone to come to you for questioning, this matter needs to be done As soon as possible."
Tang Ke nodded, and asked again: "How can I be sure that it is your people who come to see me, not the prince's?"
Zhu Houxue glanced at him, took off a seal from his waist, held it up, and looked at Tang Ke. Tang Ke understood, and quickly took a piece of paper. Zhu Houxue put the seal on the paper and said, "This private seal is mine. Bring it with you, when I send someone to find you, I will ask him to wear a seal to confirm his identity."
Only then did Tang Ke feel relieved, and stepped forward to help Zhu Houxue walk out the door. He remembered something again, and whispered to Zhu Houxue before leaving the door: "The first guard you brought today should be dealt with as soon as possible, for your own sake." For the sake of safety."
Zhu Houxue glanced at him, "It's not your turn to worry about my safety."
Tang Ke nodded, "Yes, yes." Xin Dao said that this arrogance is indeed hereditary.
As soon as the two walked out, Zhu Wenzhen came up impatiently, shouted "Father", and went to pull Tang Ke again.
Zhu Houxue looked at him coldly, said "I'll do it for myself", and turned to go downstairs.
Seeing Zhu Houxue's paler complexion and stumbling steps, Zhu Wenzhen felt sad, and called him behind his back, "Father, take care of yourself."
Zhu Houxue paused and sighed, "Stay at ease with that brat for the time being and pay attention to safety." After saying that, he led the people away.
Zhu Wenzhen looked at the direction where Zhu Houxue's back disappeared, and was silent for a long time, his eyes flushed.
Tang Ke took a step forward and hugged him lightly. Zhu Wenzhen came back to his senses and raised his head: "What did my father tell you?"
Tang Ke said casually: "It's nothing to talk about, it's just family chatter."
Zhu Wenzhen looked at Tang Ke suspiciously, "He didn't make things difficult for you?"
"No, why did he make things difficult for me?" Tang Ke stared at Zhu Wenzhen's face.
Zhu Wenzhen thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything for the time being, and was worried that his father's people would turn back again, so he pulled Tang Ke in a panic to escape back to the small house as soon as possible.
The two got into the carriage. Zhu Wenzhen thought of his father's sudden visit and left without saying goodbye. He was in a daze when Tang Ke raised his arms and circled the seat. Tang Ke leaned over and asked in his ear: "Are you okay?" Want to tell me? Huh? Lord Jing?"
The author has something to say: The emperor is also a self-raider maniac...
