Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Even though the Yuan and Mongolian conspiracy was accidentally destroyed, the Han people's territory and the Zhu family's kingdom were still preserved.

Fortunately, Wei Wu, a man from later generations, appeared and not only saved his sister and eldest grandson, but also wiped out the Kong family.

The Yuan Mongols' conspiracy ultimately failed, and they would never have the chance to stir up trouble again in the future.

However, there is still one person who must be dealt with, and that is the guy who provoked the ambition of the fourth brother.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and said loudly to the outside of the hall:

"Pass on our order and have Jinyiwei Commander Mao Xiang enter the palace immediately!"

"Yes!"

There was a reply from outside the door, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps running away.

After the palace servant who delivered the message left, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at Wei Wu with a warm smile on his face.

However, when Wei Wu saw the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, he inexplicably felt something was wrong.

"Well, Mr. Zhu, I've almost finished explaining everything about Qufu. I still have some things to deal with at the Academy of Science and Technology."

"Besides, I've been away from Beijing for several months, and Yuxuan is waiting for me at home. If everything is fine, I'll go back first!"

After saying this, Wei Wu turned around and prepared to leave Fengxian Hall without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's consent.

But he had just turned around and had not yet taken the first step when Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand grabbed his arm.

"Don't be so anxious. You're already back, so the matters of the Institute of Science and Technology don't need a little more time."

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is worthy of being the founding emperor who conquered the world. He is still so strong even though he is over fifty years old.

Fortunately, Wei Wu was not in bad shape either. During the time he was away from the capital, he never stopped taking Heli San.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed his arm, he was not worried at all and broke free easily.

Then, without looking back, he quickened his pace and walked towards the gate of Fengxian Hall.

"Wow~! You're quite strong, little brat!"

Seeing that Wei Wu easily broke free from his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang said something with a look of surprise.

But then he smiled and spoke again:

"But have you forgotten where you are? Do you really think you can get out of this hall? Someone, come here!"

Wei Wu had just walked to the front door when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's playful voice behind him, and then the door of Fengxian Hall was opened.

He saw two guards in armor, with long swords drawn, standing in front of the hall door, staring at him intently.

Helplessly, Wei Wu could only turn around and look at Zhu Yuanzhang with an awkward smile.

"Uncle Zhu, there's no need for that! If you have something to ask me, just tell me. How can I not listen to you?"

"It's not good to use force in the imperial city. It will easily damage the harmony within the imperial city, don't you think? Haha, hahaha!"

While speaking, Wei Wu did not stop walking and soon returned to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Biao, who was standing by, saw this scene and without any attempt to hide it, he just grinned and watched Wei Wu being humiliated.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again:

"Peaceful? When you were selling me to your aunt, did you ever think that your aunt's feather duster could also damage the peace of the imperial city?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately showed an aggrieved expression.

"Well, please allow me to be cunning... I really didn't mean to be so. You said you sent for me to come here without even saying a word."

"As soon as I arrived at Kunning Palace, my aunt blamed me for leaving Beijing. I thought she knew everything, so I let it slip. You..."

Wei Wu wanted to continue to argue, but Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him with a wave of his hand before he could finish.

"Okay, stop quibbling. I never thought you would actually sell me out. I'm so disappointed! I feel so cold!"

"Even a hand warmer won't warm me up. Unless I have a few hundred thousand taels of silver, maybe I'll feel better."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's face, which showed no concealment at all and instead kept raising his eyebrows.

At this moment, Wei Wu finally understood what this old guy was planning. He was after his wallet!

"Uncle Zhu, you know everything?"

"I didn't know at first, but with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver being moved from the docks into your house, it's hard not to know!"

After hearing these words, Wei Wu suddenly remembered that this was the capital city, and there were Jinyiwei spies everywhere.

His own Marquis's Mansion was of utmost importance, and he had been filled with Jinyiwei to protect his safety since a long time ago.

With so many large wooden boxes being transported from the dock to his home, the Jinyiwei are not fools and will definitely report the matter.

A quick check will tell you what's in those boxes. No wonder Lao Zhu targeted them.

No!

It's not easy for me to go out and earn some money. I can't just let Lao Zhu take it away for nothing.

Although the money was stolen by the Lu family and the traitor Han Yao, it should have been confiscated by the court.

But once it's in my hands, it's mine!

Thinking of this, Wei Wu's face immediately showed a sad expression, and he covered his heart tightly with his hands.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang as if he had suffered a great injustice and said:

"Uncle Zhu, these are all the hard-earned money I earned through hard work, life on the line, and even death!"

Seeing Wei Wu's current appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand with disgust.

"Okay, since you're so stingy, I didn't say I was going to confiscate your money. I just asked you to give it to your big brother to help him."

When he heard that they didn't want his money, Wei Wu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, immediately stood up and said calmly:

"You don't want my money? Oh, that's fine, Uncle Zhu, just tell me! How can I help you, big brother? I'm obligated to do it!"

Zhu Biao just stood by and watched the two funny people, one old and one young, making mischief without saying a word for a long time.

But now that this matter was mentioned, he finally stood up and said:

"Actually, it's a bidding issue. I have to say, Xiao Wu, your bidding method is indeed very effective."

"In the past few months, the construction progress of the capital's city wall has been three or four times faster than before. I think it will be completed soon."

"So I want to take this opportunity to put road construction on the agenda. The sooner we start, the sooner people can enjoy the convenience."
