175. If You Can’T Get Any Benefits, You Are Not Greedy Enough! [Please Give Me Flowers And Review Vo
Zhu Mansion.
Deep in the inner courtyard of the palace, there is a secluded courtyard with many green bamboos planted in it.
This villa is a forbidden area!
No one in Zhu's residence is allowed to enter or exit this place without the permission of the owner.
Because there is a capable person living in this courtyard!
About sixteen years ago.
At that time, the old head of the Zhu family was about to abdicate and was planning to select a new generation of family from among several outstanding sons.
In a world where strength is respected, martial arts families don't actually attach much importance to the eldest son inheritance system.
Whoever is more capable will be in power.
Moreover, it is not just about personal strength, but also about future potential, as well as comprehensive abilities in various aspects such as character, resourcefulness, financial management, and dealing with people.
The Zhu family has a prosperous bloodline and the master of his hometown has many heirs, so the competition is naturally quite fierce.
Zhu Youxuan also participated in the battle for the right to inherit the throne.
But at that time, his chances of winning were not great until he met a fortune teller.
The self-proclaimed "fortune master", whose surname is Lan and whose given name is Dongyu, is not good-looking and a blind man. He sets up a fortune-telling stall under a stone bridge to make a small living.
Zhu Youxuan accidentally heard someone mention that this blind man was very accurate in telling fortunes, but he became blind because he revealed too many secrets.
"Just a charlatan.
Zhu Youxuan didn't believe it at first, but he couldn't help being curious and asked Lan Dongyu for a fortune telling.
He never expected that Lan Dongyu actually had real abilities, he could pinch and calculate, and he could break the iron with gold. Zhu Youxuan was immediately shocked and deeply impressed.
Later, Zhu Youxuan, who was thirsty for talents, put down his body, treated the virtuous corporal, and invited Lan Dongyu back to his house, treating him as a confidant.
Zhu Youxuan has been out of control since then!
It was under Lan Dongyu's advice that Zhu Youxuan began to stand out, quickly reversed the situation, rose up, stood out from several brothers, and had the last laugh.
At this moment, Zhu Youxuan was in high spirits. He quickly walked into the courtyard, passed through a lush green bamboo forest, and came to a bamboo house.
Under the eaves, next to the warm stove.
There was a white-haired old man with his eyes closed leisurely sipping 630 tea. Beside him was a maid in red, holding an ancient scroll on bamboo slips and reading to the old man in a clear and rhythmic voice.
"See you, sir."
When the maid saw Zhu Youxuan coming, she quickly stopped, stood up and bowed.
"An Cui, you go down first."
Zhu Youxuan smiled and waved his hand, sat down opposite Lan Dongyu, and said with a smile: "Sir, what a happy event."
Lan Dongyu opened his eyes, revealing a pair of pale eyes, and said with a faint smile: "It's so cold in this winter, I made a fortune earlier, it doesn't look like there is going to be a big happy event.
Zhu Youxuan laughed: "Sir, do you still remember those rumors about Mu Shangbai?"
Lan Dongyu tilted his head: "Oh, the pebble was hammered?"
Zhu Youxuan: "It's more than just a stone hammer, it's far more exciting than you and I imagined." He repeated Zhu Quan's words.
After listening, Lan Dongyu didn't have much expression on his face, and his reaction was very dull: "That's it?"
Zhu Youxuan said in surprise: "Sir, don't you think this is a good opportunity to kill three birds with one stone?"
Lan Dongyu: "What do you mean killing three birds with one stone?"
Zhu Youxuan clasped his fingers and said carefully:
"First, the marriage between Mu Shangbai and Su Wanqing has basically come to an end. The marriage between the richest family, the Mu family, and the richest family, the Su family, has failed. This is great news for me, the Zhu family:
Secondly, Mu Shangbai's child is in the hands of Wei Yuan. If he cannot marry Su Wanqing, he must be resentful of Wei Yuan. Conflict with the Ning family is inevitable. As long as we secretly add fuel to the flames and destroy the Ning family,
It is easy to seize his family property;
Thirdly, the Mu family is divided into two factions, the 'Water Faction' who practices 'The Greatest Goodness Is Like Water' and the 'Han Faction' who practices 'Ice Demonic Art'.
Mu Shangbai is a member of the Han sect. This time he was betrayed by the people of the Shui sect. His marriage was ruined and his reputation was ruined. He will definitely take revenge for personal gain. This will inevitably lead to more serious internal strife and divisions in the Mu family and further decline in power. For me, Zhu It’s equally beneficial, isn’t it?”
Lan Dongyu said nothing and asked, "The child in Wei Yuan's hand is Mu Shangbai's. Who can prove it?"
Zhu Youxuan frowned: "This..."
Lan Dongyu: "Martial artists have different blood in their bodies. They are different from ordinary people and different from blood warriors. 'Recognizing relatives with blood' does not work. A father who practices martial arts and a child who does not practice martial arts
Blood is incompatible. In other words, as long as Mu Shangbai does not admit that the child is his, it is not his, and no one can provide evidence to identify him, right?"
Zhu Youxuan was speechless.
Lan Dongyu continued to ask: "The rumors about Mu Shangbai's chaos and abandonment have been circulating for almost half a year. Has Su Wanqing ever proposed to regret the marriage? Has the Su family taken any action? Why not? It's not because there is no Evidence? Now that Wei Yuan and the child appear, what difference will the result make?"
Zhu Youxuan seemed to have been poured cold water on him, his excitement suddenly dropped, and he felt it was a pity: "Is this news worthless at all?"
Lan Dongyu: "It is indeed of no value to the Zhu family, but if Feng Yuzhai has this information, it can be sold for a lot of money."
Zhu Youxuan spread his hands and said, "We can also sell this news."
Lan Dongyu shook his head: "If the Zhu family sells this news, it will only offend the Mu family and Feng Yuzhai at the same time, which is not cost-effective."
Zhu Youxuan suddenly felt regretful and said with a wry smile: "Guess, sir, if Su Wanqing gets this news from Feng Yuzhai, will she believe it and regret the engagement?"
Lan Dongyu: "Su Wanqing is very smart and conceited. Such a woman knows what outcome is best for her."
Zhu Youxuan thought about it: "The Su family has caught Mu Shangbai's hand. Mu Shangbai is somewhat guilty and will definitely make up for Su Wanqing in other ways [the Su family can also take advantage of the opportunity to gain a lot of benefits."
At this point, Zhu Youxuan realized that he could not get any benefit, and couldn't help but said speechlessly: "Sir, what you said makes sense, it was me who was impulsive."
What a waste of excitement!
Lan Dongyu said slowly: "Master, there is no need to be anxious. Everything is fine in the Zhu family now, there are no internal or external dangers, and they are moving forward steadily. If we continue to do so steadily, we will surely become the most wealthy family in Ice and Fire City in a hundred years."
Zhu Youxuan nodded and accepted the instruction humbly.
After a cup of tea, Zhu Youxuan returned and saw Zhu Quan again.
At this moment, Zhu Quan was sitting carelessly on a chair in the living room, eating fruit snacks, drinking old wine, and forcibly grabbing a maid, hugging her, and lifting her hands.
"Cuihong, this time I have made a great contribution to the Zhu family, and the master of the family will definitely reward me heavily. How about I ask the master of the family to reward you to me?" Zhu Quan's dirty hand went under the other person's skirt. (bcdh)
Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxuan felt disgusted and looked at the guard.
The four guards understood this and rushed over to hold Zhu Quan down. They carried him out like a pig and threw him directly into the street.
"What the hell, he's crossing the river and destroying the bridge!" Zhu Quan was furious and cursed.
Feng Yuzhai even rewarded him with 20,000 taels, but his family actually didn't give him any reward and even kicked him out. This is not burning the bridge across the river.
"You bastard, Yuan Zi will take revenge for this!"
For a moment, Zhu Quan gritted his teeth, his face full of resentment, and his hatred towards the Zhu family reached its extreme.
Zhu Quan thought for a moment, then his eyes flickered a few times.
"If you don't stay here, you will have a place to stay." Zhu Quan snorted angrily, got up, flicked the dust off his body, turned around and ran towards Daningfang.
He came to Mu Mansion and asked to see Mu Shangbai.
The guard frowned and looked at Zhu Quan. He felt that this man was greasy and slovenly, and said coldly: "Who are you? Young master, are you able to see him whenever you want?"
Zhu Quan leaned close to the other party's ear and muttered twice.
The guard's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Wait here." His eyes signaled the other guards to keep an eye on Zhu Quan and not let him escape.
Then, the guard ran towards the mansion.
After a while, the guard returned, welcoming Zhu Quan into the mansion with a smile, and took Zhu Quan all the way to a forbidden garden.
Zhu Quan looked up and saw a handsome man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes standing in the pavilion, with his hands clasped behind his hands. His facial features were sharp and angular, as if he were carved out of ice that would last forever.
Zhu Quan had met Mu Shangbai before and recognized him immediately. He quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Zhu Quan, a member of the Zhu clan, has met the young master of the Mu clan."
Mu Shangbai glanced at Zhu Quan indifferently and said in an emotionless tone: "People in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret words. What do you mean by saying you know the whereabouts of my child?"
Zhu Quan laughed and said: "It means literally, the woman you played with came to Ice and Fire City by boat, and I happened to be on the boat and saw her and the baby in her arms.
Mu Shangbai's pupils shrank, his lips as thin as razor blades pursed, and he said in a deep voice: "Where is the child?"
Zhu Quan raised his two fingers and crossed them together: "One hundred thousand taels!" He immediately added, "For you, Young Master Mu, one hundred thousand taels is just a drizzle, so it's not much.
Mu Shangbai clapped his hands without saying a word.
A masked man in armor ran over and handed Zhu Quan a banknote.
Zhu Quan was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Mu Shangbai to be so generous and not bargain at all.
Damn it, less of it!
Zhu Quan suddenly regretted it so much that he wanted to change his mind and ask for 500,000 taels!
But he didn't dare to push the envelope further, so he stuffed the banknote into his arms and said: "Your child is in Ning Mansion, in the hands of Wei Yuan."
Zhu Quan described Wei Yuan's chance encounter with the woman on the boat and how he hooked up with her along the way.
Finally, he spread his hands and said: "In this way, Wei Yuan deceived your woman's trust, took away your child and took it as his own. He made it clear that he had evil intentions and was going to be detrimental to you."
Mu Shangbai was silent for a while: "Who else have you told about this?"
Zhu Quan continued: "I understand the rules, don't worry, I haven't told anyone except you."
Mu Shangbai turned around: "You can leave."
Zhu Quan left Mu Mansion in a hurry and made a huge profit of 120,000 taels in one day, which made him smile so hard that his face was distorted. "He was very high-spirited."
"Think about it again, where else can I make a fortune?" Zhu Quan's face was full of greed, and he immediately thought of Su Mansion.
"I'll go find Su Wanqing and sell the news to Feng Yuzhai before she can. I'll definitely be able to blackmail her out of a lot of money!"
Thinking of this, Zhu Quan was so excited that he almost went crazy and ran towards the Su Mansion.
Suddenly, an afterimage flashed diagonally.
Zhu Quan's eyes blurred, and he couldn't see clearly what was passing by him. He continued to run forward, and after a few steps, a bright red liquid suddenly sprayed forward.
"Is this my blood?" Zhu Quan felt that his neck was so hot, he touched it, and his hands turned bright red instantly.
Pfft, pfft...
Blood spurted out happily from his neck, and he couldn't hold it back.
Zhu Quan's eyes widened, and he knelt on the ground, his mouth wide open, just wanting to breathe out the cheapest air.
It's a pity that with 120,000 taels of silver, he can't even buy a breath of air.
