Chapter 234: After all, we are still relatives (please subscribe!!)
"And Uncle Ma, do you know that you need to pay more attention to and accompany my aunt from now on?"
"No matter what kind of disease this person has, his state of mind directly determines the development of the disease, so from now on you must try your best to make your aunt happy, don't make her angry, and don't make her sulky. You must give way where you should. let!"
"Uncle Ma, you also need to pay attention to yourself, so you don't get the disease of wealth."
Ouyang Lun said earnestly.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, Xu Da and Tang He all listened with pricked ears.
Although being taught like a child by Ouyang Lun always feels weird, Ouyang Lun's words are indeed reasonable and it is not easy for them to refute.
"Isn't it a wasting disease? Why has it become a disease of wealth again? Will I get it too?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked doubtfully.
"It's easy to get this disease if you eat too well and without restraint. Do you think this is a disease of wealth?" Ouyang Lun said lightly.
"That's it!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
"Let's stop here today."
"Uncle Ma, you come directly to the Great Wall from Kyoto. Most of you don't have a place to stay yet, so you can settle down here. Changyuguan is not bad. It is a luxury suite in a scenic spot. On weekdays, I am the only one who stays here. There are so many people around. There are soldiers on patrol, so safety is guaranteed, the location is high, the air is good, and the view is good, just as my aunt is recovering from illness!"
"As for the whereabouts of Zhou Zhen and the business with the prairie people, don't worry about it. I, Ouyang Lun, act openly and aboveboard. I will not engage in sinister means of killing people and silence them, and I am not afraid of investigation!"
"Uncle Tang and Uncle Xu, let's go!"
"Oh, alright!"
"Goodbye, brother and sister-in-law!"
Tang He and Xu Da reacted and left quickly with Ouyang Lun.
When the three of them walked out of Changyuguan, Tang He couldn't help but ask: "Nephew Ouyang Xian, did you really not kill Zhou Zhen?"
Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes, "Second uncle, how many times do you have to tell me before you believe me? If I say I won't kill him, I won't kill him!"
Hearing this, Tang He nodded, "Nephew Ouyang, with your words, Lao San and I feel a lot more at ease. Don't worry, as long as you really don't kill anyone, we will always support you, even if you go to the capital to litigate." , we’ll help you too!”
"What Second Brother Tang said is exactly what I want to say." Xu Da also said.
"Thank you two uncles." Ouyang Lun cupped his hands and thanked him.
"But nephew Ouyang Xian, I advise you to be more careful. After all, such a big thing has happened. Do you think His Majesty the Emperor will send people to Beizhili again to investigate?" Tang He asked.
"Let's just investigate, I won't stop you." Ouyang Lun said nonchalantly.
Tang He said anxiously: "Is it possible that His Majesty the Emperor would personally come to Beizhili to investigate?"
Tang He was so anxious that he almost wrote on his face that the emperor had come to Beizhili and that Uncle Ma was Zhu Yuanzhang.
Hearing this, Ouyang Lun was also stunned, and then nodded, "Uncle Tang, your analysis is very reasonable. My emperor's father-in-law likes to visit privately incognito. If such a big thing happened in Beizhili, he came to Beizhili in person. There is a strong possibility of an investigation.”
"That's right, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely find out something during his private visit incognito." Tang He was very happy, this kid finally got the idea, "So we have to prepare well! Avoid being caught!"
"What are you preparing for? If he wants to come for a private visit incognito, let him come. If he doesn't come to me, I'll pretend I don't know. I, Beizhili, can withstand inspection!" Ouyang Lun said quite confidently.
Of course, Ouyang Lun actually didn't say anything. If Zhu Yuanzhang really took advantage of the topic and wanted to cause trouble, he would directly fire Zhu Yuanzhang, take Princess Anqing and Tang Miaomiao on the "Meili" and go to sea to find a big island. The owner of the island lives a happy life.
you! ?Can it withstand investigation?
Tang He and Xu Da shook their heads directly after hearing this, thinking that this kid is really too big!
Ouyang Lun looked at Tang and Xu and said, "Second Uncle Tang and Third Uncle Xu, you two have done something shameful and are worried about being discovered by my emperor's father-in-law, so you want to ask me to help you." Cover it up!”
"Yes, you two are both high-ranking princes. One controls the coastal defense of thousands of miles of the Ming Dynasty, and the other controls hundreds of thousands of troops in the north. If you add me as the chief envoy of Beizhili, the three of us will If we join forces to rebel, it is really possible to succeed!"
Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Tang He and Xu Da were so frightened that they quickly covered Ouyang Lun's mouth.
"Woooo-"
"I said Nephew Ouyang, what are you talking about! The third child and I are loyal to His Majesty, how could we rebel!"
"That's right, there are so many people around here, so don't talk nonsense!"
After saying that, the two of them turned their heads and glanced at Changyuguan. They made sure that no one was watching behind them and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Ouyang Lun was covered by the two people and couldn't speak for a while.
"Nephew Ouyang Xian, if you promise us not to talk nonsense, we will let you go." Xu Da said seriously.
"Woo--" Ouyang Lun nodded.
Seeing this, Tang He and Xu Da released their hands covering Ouyang Lun.
"Huhu -" Ouyang Lun breathed in the fresh air, "Second uncle, third uncle, just cover your mouth, why do you cover my nose too? You almost covered me to death!"
Hearing this, Tang He and Xu Da looked embarrassed.
"Nephew Ouyang Xian, I'm sorry. I'm sorry!"
Ouyang Lun waved his hands and asked with some confusion: "What's going on with you two today? I noticed that you have been acting strange ever since you saw Uncle Ma. It stands to reason that although Uncle Ma is a wealthy businessman in the capital, he can't compete with you. Comparing these two princes, their status is very different. Why do I feel that you two are still a little afraid of him? Are all Ming merchants so powerful?"
Tang He and Xu Da looked at each other and quickly explained.
"Nephew Ouyang Xian, this boss Ma is no ordinary businessman!"
"That's right. Didn't you just hear him say that it can solve your smuggling problem? Let me tell you this, Boss Ma's energy is much greater than that of Lao San and I."
"Have you forgotten his name?"
Hearing what these two people said, Ouyang Lun suddenly realized, "Your surname is Ma? Could it be that Uncle Ma is related to the one in the palace?"
"Yes, it is related!"
"The relationship is very close, so we must not offend!"
Tang He and Xu Da nodded repeatedly.
"I see. If that's the case, then everything makes sense." Ouyang Lun nodded, "You are afraid that what we say will be heard by Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma, and then you will tell me about the emperor's father-in-law when you go back ?”
"But you two are too cautious. Uncle Ma and Auntie are here to help me. Besides, what I just said is right! I just said that the three of us are very powerful together, but I didn't say We really want to rebel! What are we afraid of?"
"On the contrary, it's very suspicious how secretive and cautious you are!"
Ouyang Lun looked at Xu Da and Tang He carefully, "Second Uncle Tang, Second Uncle Xu, are you two hiding something from me?" "No, no."
"Absolutely not, how could the two of us hide it from you!"
Tang He and Xu Da's heads shook like rattles.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had given them death orders before. Ouyang Lun must not let Ouyang Lun know Zhu Yuanzhang's true identity. Anyone who leaked it would be severely punished.
"Really?" Ouyang Lun always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Really not." Tang He and Xu Da sounded particularly firm.
"Okay, forget it, then I'll leave first. Anqing and Miaomiao are still waiting for me at home!"
After saying that, Ouyang Lun got into the carriage and left.
Seeing Ouyang Lun's carriage leave, Tang He and Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and walked towards Changyuguan.
the next day.
Ouyang Lun came to Changyuguan again.
"Uncle Ma!"
Ouyang Lun walked into the house carrying several pairs of medicines.
"How is my aunt?"
"After a night's rest, I feel much better. The medicine prescribed by Doctor Dai yesterday worked."
"This is the kidney qi decoction prepared by Mr. Dai himself. Of course it is useful. I brought a few more doses today. This dose can be boiled three times and taken once in the morning, noon and evening. The medicinal materials in the medical school's medicinal material warehouse have been used up. I We have already sent people to the grasslands to collect them, and we should be able to buy them back before these medicines are used up!"
As he spoke, he looked into the house.
I saw Tang He and Xu Da again.
"Hey, Uncle Tang and Uncle Xu, you two are here too!"
"The construction site is close to here. We two have nothing to do so we can come over and have a look. Boss Ma is your distinguished guest, nephew Ouyang Xian, so we can't neglect him." Tang He said with a smile, "That's right, third child."
"Yes, Boss Ma and we are old acquaintances in the capital. Now that we meet in Beizhili, we naturally have to help each other." Xu Da nodded.
Very reasonable!
Nothing wrong!
Ouyang Lun did not go into details, but said: "You all are here, I still have something to say."
Zhu Yuanzhang took the medicine bag and put it away carefully, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Ouyang Lun thought for a while and said: "I thought about it when I went back yesterday, and I think that Uncle Tang and Uncle Xu are right. The three of us together will indeed easily make my emperor's father-in-law jealous!"
Hearing this, Tang He quickly stopped him and said, "Nephew Ouyang Xian, why are you talking about this here?"
Ouyang Lun quickly took a step back to prevent his mouth from being covered again, "Uncle Tang, Uncle Ma is not an outsider. Instead of hiding it from Uncle Ma, we might as well tell the truth. Maybe we can get Uncle Ma to come to us after he returns to Beijing." If you explain a few words, won’t the misunderstanding be resolved?”
"What are you hiding from me?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed and he looked at Tang He and Xu Da.
"Boss Ma, we really didn't hide anything. It was Ouyang Lun who was talking alone. It has nothing to do with Lao San and I!" Xu Da.
"That's right, whether it was Zhou Zhen's affairs or the business with the prairie people, we were not involved. We have been building the Great Wall honestly, and Ouyang Lun did everything else." Tang He.
Xu Da, Tang He all retreated, pointing at Ouyang Lun at the same time, pushing everything away.
This operation really left Ouyang Lun stunned and beyond expectation.
"Second Uncle Tang and Third Uncle Xu, do you two need to draw a clear line with me like this?"
"Thankfully I still think you two are reliable! I want to help you explain!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about other things. Who will tell me, what are you worried about? What are you hiding?"
Ouyang Lun spread his hands, "Since Uncle Tang and Uncle Xu don't want to talk, then let me do it!"
"We are all insiders. We should all know that my emperor's father-in-law is a suspicious person. He has the imperial guards spying on all the officials all day long. He even records what they eat for every meal and who they sleep with. Maybe we have been under surveillance for a long time."
Zhu Yuanzhang:
Tang He and Xu Da covered their faces.
"And Uncle Ma, you really hide it well enough! You are a clan member of Queen Ma, my Queen's mother-in-law, and a relative of the Ming Dynasty, but you have been hiding it from me!"
"Who told you that I am a member of Empress Ma's clan? A relative of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with wide eyes.
"Stop pretending. Someone has to tell me, can't I guess it myself?" After saying that, Ouyang Lun smiled at Tang He and Xu Da.
Um! ?
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Tang He and Xu Da with a somewhat unkind expression.
Ouyang Lun continued: "Actually, I should have thought of this a long time ago. If you were just an ordinary businessman in the capital, how could you have such energy and easily sell peppers to the princes and nobles in the capital? How could you compete with Mr. Li? , Second Uncle Tang, and Third Uncle Xu are familiar with each other, and it is even more impossible for them to escape unscathed from the 'rapeseed oil incident'. The key is that you don't even look down on the second-grade official position!"
"Now I finally understand!"
"The relatives of the Ming Dynasty. Empress Ma's clan members have this status. Although they cannot be crowned kings like the old Zhu family, in addition to the old Zhu family, your Ma family is also a wealthy family. Just enjoy the glory and wealth, do it? Why don’t you go become an official and suffer!”
"Actually, after all, we can be considered relatives!"
As Ouyang Lun spoke, he put his hand on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder, "Uncle Ma, at your age, you should be the biological brother of my queen's mother-in-law. I have never heard that the queen's father-in-law has biological brothers. I guess you should be a cousin." Now! Princess Anqing and I are husband and wife, so I have to call you uncle!"
"My cousin is not affectionate when called, so I will just call you uncle!"
"Uncle, it's rare for you and your aunt to come to Beizhili. Just have fun here. Eat, drink and have fun. I'm responsible for everything. Don't worry about Zhou Zhen and me doing business with the prairie people. Of course, after returning to the capital, if If my Queen’s mother-in-law or the Emperor’s father-in-law really asks, you two can just say a few nice words to me, Uncle Tang and Uncle Xu, so that my Emperor’s father-in-law can believe that the three of us really have no intention of joining forces to rebel!”
Uncle
Zhu Yuanzhang was one head and two big boys, but he suddenly transformed into Ouyang Lun, this boy's uncle.
With you as my nephew and uncle, sooner or later we will be angry to death.
"Wait, you just said rebellion?!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed and his momentum suddenly changed.
