    Xu Hongji and Lu Qingping were polite for a while, and both entered the boat. Food and wine had been prepared in the boat, and five or six pretty singers also saluted. Then the boat slowly left the shore, and the singers played the piano.  , singing songs, and two others were pouring wine and serving dishes at the banquet!

    Xu Hongji picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Eunuch Lu, Mr. Xu doesn't speak secretly. I invite Eunuch Lu here this time because he wants to know how Long Live will deal with the distinguished nobles of Nanjing, and I also ask Eunuch Lu to tell you directly!"

    After saying this, Xu Hongji drank the wine in one gulp!

    Seeing Xu Hongji like this, Lu Qingping¡¯s smile became even brighter. He also drank a glass of wine, and then held the pot for Xu Hongji to fill it up for himself!

    Then he said: "Master Guo, why do you ask our family about this matter? Didn't Duke Ding's Mansion send you a letter?"

    Xu Hongji¡¯s expression changed when he heard this, and he asked hurriedly: ¡°Is it true that Long Live is going to cost you all your wealth?¡±

    Lu Qingping shook his head and said: "My lord, what you said is wrong. You see, although your majesty has received many titles and property from the emperor's relatives, he has not cut off anyone's livelihood. Needless to say, even King De is obedient.  Although he has been deposed as a king, his life is still good, so the Duke of the country does not have to worry about this!"

    Xu Hongji smiled bitterly, drank another glass of wine, and said sadly: "If we people just paint and live freely, we don't need to say anything. Long live our land and money, but you also know, Eunuch Lu, we  These nobles all have big families and big businesses, and they have to take care of their reputations inside and outside. If Banzai really takes our land and money, we are all members of a big family, how can we live!"

    However, Eunuch Lu was not moved by Xu Hongji's words. He still said calmly: "My lord, let me say something that shouldn't be said. Where did our wealth come from? Isn't it the grace of the royal family? Now your majesty wants to take it back."  Just go and do as you please, why bother to make His Majesty angry for the sake of external things?"

    Seeing that what Lu Qingping said was nonsense, Xu Hongji knew in his heart that this eunuch could never catch a rabbit without letting go of an eagle, so he waved his hand, and a singer walked out with a sandalwood box!

    Seeing this scene, Lu Qingping's eyes lit up slightly, but then he took a bite of food and covered up the greed in his eyes!

    Xu Hongji took the box from the singer's hand, put it in front of Lu Qingping, and said with a faint smile: "The previous person sent me a box of southern pearls. They are all top quality. It's very hot in Nanjing right now, so I can give them to Eunuch Lu."  Wear a cooling pad to beat the heat!"

    Lu Qing smiled calmly and opened the lid of the box, only to see about fifty longan-sized, round and crystal-clear pearls inside. It is nonsense to say that you can sit on a cold mat with a box of these pearls, even if Zhu Youxiao's butt is  It¡¯s not expensive enough to sit on a mat worth two hundred thousand taels of silver!

    Xu Hongji took advantage of Lu Qingping to look at the pearls and said: "Xu does not ask Eunuch Lu to deal with it, but only asks Eunuch Lu to give an accurate answer as to how much land and money Long Live will cost!"

    The reason why Lu Qingping kept looking at those pearls without saying a word was to wait for Xu Hongji to make a request. Now that Xu Hongji said this, Lu Qingping smiled and closed the lid of the box!

    "My lord, please listen to our family's advice and let go of the things outside your body if you can. Don't compete with His Majesty!" Lu Qingping's words were serious and thoughtful, but Xu Hongji's brows furrowed even more when he heard this!

    Because the meaning of Lu Qingping¡¯s words is what Xu Hongji least wants to hear, because it means that he and Nanjing Xungui should give up all their properties and shops. In that case, Nanjing Xungui¡¯s losses will be too great!

    When Lu Qingping saw Xu Hongji frowning but not saying anything, he naturally knew what he was thinking. He glanced at the box in front of him and said meaningfully: "My lord, you are the first son of Nanjing's nobility.  The harder you do it, the more your Majesty will give you, and"

    At this point, Lu Qingping paused, and Xu Hongji quickly asked: "And what?"

    Lu Qingping smiled and shook his head and said: "Our family dare not say this, but as soon as the Duke of Guo looked at the Kong family, he knew that your Majesty is not the kind of ruthless and unjust person!"

    the Kongs!

    Xu Hongji rolled his eyes and suddenly realized something!

    The affairs of the Confucius family have now spread all over the country. The imperial court even used the form of a newspaper to make the memorial of Kong Yinzhi and Zhu Youxiao's decree known to the world. Who among the scholars in the world does not secretly criticize the Confucius family?

    But although the Kong family did a great job, the actual losses were not large. At least in Xu Hongji's view, the Duke of Wei could completely bear that level of losses!

    Xu Hongji looked at Lu Qingping and asked in a low voice: "Could it be"

    Before Xu Hongji could finish speaking, Lu Qingping stopped him, and then Lu Qingping pattedLooking at the sandalwood box in front of him, he said with a smile: "The Duke of Guo has spent a lot of money and our family is already too drunk. Please ask the Duke of Guo to order the boat to turn around. Our family is going back!"

    Xu Hongji¡¯s nose almost turned crooked after hearing the truth. Two hundred thousand taels of silver and a box of pearls were exchanged for such a few unclear words. This Lu Qingping is too dark!

    But since Lu Qingping has said this, Xu Hongji can only order the boat to turn around. When the boat returns to the place where Lu Qingping boarded the boat, Xu Hongji personally sends Lu Qingping off the boat!

    After getting off the boat, Lu Qingping suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled at Xu Hongji: "My lord, no matter what the Duke of Wei wants to do, the most important thing is to be quick. If you wait for Eunuch Li to arrive in Nanjing, nothing will happen."  It¡¯s too late, remember! Remember!¡±

    After saying these words, Lu Qingping, without waiting for Xu Hongji to speak, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, please stay. We are leaving!"

    Xu Hongji watched Lu Qingping's carriage swaying away, but his heart was shaking. He was really undecided about what he should do!

    But after all, Xu Hongji was a man who had seen strong winds and waves. After thinking for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "Go home!"

    Xu Hongji returned to the mansion, went directly to the study, and wrote a memorial. After the memorial was written, Xu Hongji seemed to have walked through a mountain of swords and a sea of ??fire, with sweat dripping from his forehead!

    Looking at the written memorial, Xu Hongji murmured to himself: "Whether you win or lose depends on this!"

    Early the next morning, as soon as the gates of Nanjing City opened, the Xu family¡¯s fast horses rushed out of the city gates and headed straight for Beijing!

    And on the official road a hundred miles away from Nanjing, a group of people was walking slowly and leisurely towards Nanjing. Behind the group of people, there was a spacious carriage, and Li Jinzhong was sitting in it!

    At this moment, Li Jinzhong is reading a secret report from Dongchang. The content of the secret report is the transcript of Xu Hongji's memorial!

    After reading the secret report, Li Jinzhong showed a contemptuous smile and whispered: "Sure enough, he is a descendant of King Zhongshan, he is quite courageous!"

    Then Li Jinzhong sealed the secret report with wax and put it away, and took out a wooden box. After opening it, he saw two volumes of imperial edicts inside, one of which was tied with a yellow ribbon, and the other was tied with a red ribbon!

    Li Jinzhong took out the imperial edict tied with a yellow belt, then closed the wooden box and shouted: "Here comes! Inform Mr. Cao that what our family is waiting for has arrived, and we can rush to Nanjing!"
