Chapter 1190 Where the Banknotes Went

Your Majesty, "Give it to him, to give him some pressure and shock."

The prince was speechless, "I don't think Lord Zhou was frightened."

On the contrary, I feel that Lord Zhou's love for life is no less than that of my father.

The emperor was in a very happy mood. "Give it to him, too. He got the banknotes. But don't waste the poisoned banknotes. You know what to do."

The prince smiled, "Yes, son, I understand."

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren asked Jianyan, "You said the banknotes were poisonous?"

"Yes, it will break out after three months. The person will be unconscious at first, and will die silently after half a month. No problem can be found. This medicine is a secret medicine."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "Secret medicine, this officer really thinks it's worth the money!"

He felt scared again. If he didn't know that Gu Ren was a member of the Zhang family and that the Zhang family had a grudge against him, he might have been tricked. Moreover, he would have given the banknotes to his wife, and his wife would have been tricked too!

Zhou Shuren was stunned. "If I hadn't been careful, I would have been poisoned by now."

"Sir, even if you are poisoned, there is a cure."

Zhou Shuren hummed, "Can it be cured? Didn't you say secret medicine?"

Can the secret medicine be easily removed?

Jianyan looked at Qingfeng on the side, and Qingfeng explained: "We have researched some secret medicines, and this one has an antidote."

He just heard from his superior that many of the secret medicines sent by the emperor had been unlocked, and this chronic poison was among them, so he felt that Lord Zhou was really lucky and had nothing to fear whether he was poisoned or not.

Zhou Shuren blinked his eyes, thinking to himself, this is the advantage of having the emperor's people around, he can also hear some of the unimportant secrets, "Then I feel relieved."

Then he turned his attention to a pile of banknotes. "Are these banknotes in good condition?"

Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, the problematic banknote is useful, so I exchanged it for a normal one for you, sir. Please rest assured, sir."

Zhou Shuren happily accepted the banknote and asked casually, "How much of this poison is there?"

Qingfeng really didn't know, and thought: "It shouldn't be much. Secret medicine is not easy to prepare. Even if the prescription is restored, some medicines are hard to find."

Zhou Shuren felt relieved. He thought that if the secret medicine was easy to prepare, it would not be a secret medicine.

At the Ronghou Mansion, Rong Enqing looked at the box that was sent over. In the box was a silver note of 100,000 taels. The Zhang family really wished that Lord Zhou would die. Lord Zhou had asked for such a huge amount of money today that Gu Ren could not bear it any longer.

The butler came in, "Master, Gu Ren is here."

"Please come in."

Gu Ren was in a good mood. He saw how careful Zhou Shuren was this morning, so he changed the box on purpose. So what if Zhou Shuren didn't take it? He definitely wouldn't have expected that there was something wrong with the banknote. He didn't have a chance to kill Zhou Shuren before, and now it was troublesome to implicate Zhou Shuren. However, he was still willing to kill Zhou Shuren silently. Wasn't this opportunity given by Zhou Shuren?

Gu Ren felt relieved when he thought about getting rid of Zhou Shuren. "Does the Marquis have anything to ask of me?"

Rong Enqing pushed the box to Gu Ren and said, "This morning I saw that you looked troubled. Here is 100,000 taels. I will lend it to you for emergency."

Gu Ren was a little hesitant. Could Rong Enqing lend him some money?

Rong Enqing continued, "I wanted to lend you more, but as you know, I also have a caravan, and all my money was used to support the caravan, so I don't have much left now."

Gu Ren took the box and didn't hesitate. He really needed the money. Zhou Shuren had cheated him this time and he was short of money. "Thank you, Lord Hou. I will pay you back double in the future."

Rong Enqing lowered his voice and said, "If you really want to return the money, bring more ointment. The emperor has been in a bad mood recently. He doesn't even go to the morning court. You should think of a solution."

Gu Ren counted the days. The emperor was old, and the amount of medicine he used at the beginning was large, which naturally accelerated the decline of his body. If the caravan had not been detained in Pinggang this time, the arrangements would have been basically completed. However, it would have to be done quickly. He was afraid that the emperor would not be able to hold on. "Okay, I will give it to you as soon as possible."

Rong Enqing quickly glanced at the box with his remaining eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This thing only takes three months to take effect. Now the prince asked him to give it to Gu Ren, which means that it should be over in three months!

At Zhou's house, Zhulan looked at the little girl next to Tao, "Who is this little girl?"

Tao touched the little girl's hair and said, "This girl is my niece's granddaughter. She came to Beijing with her father and now stays with me for a few days."

Zhulan, "What's her name?"

Tao smiled and said, "Tao Ran, you are six years old this year."

Zhulan nodded. The Tao family left Beijing that year, and Tao did not leave behind any children of the Tao family. Time can blur a lot of things, and it can also make the weakened family affection stronger. It is obvious that Tao still wants to help her mother's family, otherwise she would not have kept the little girl and brought her to her place.

Zhulan signaled to Mrs. Song, who went out for a while and came back soon. Zhulan held the jewelry in her hand and said, "This is newly customized jewelry. I selected a few pieces for Tao Ran."

Tao pushed Tao Ran. The little girl was a little timid. Seeing the grandmother in front of her smiling amiably, she stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Grandma Yang."

The little girl spoke softly. Zhulan smiled and said, "The girls in our family have never spoken so softly."

Tao sighed, "You also know about my family. Life has changed since I left Beijing. The gap is huge, and my child's education has become a problem."

Otherwise, she really didn't want to take care of her natal family, but she had no choice because it was the same family name after all.

The little girl Yudie, wearing a red dress and holding a windmill in her hand, ran in hurriedly, "Grandma, grandma, I made the windmill."

When Zhulan saw Yudie's face, she smiled even more. She wiped her granddaughter's sweat with a handkerchief and said, "You are never honest. Whose little girl is like you?"

Yudie was a child who was spoiled and brought up. She smiled and said, "Grandma, look at the windmill your granddaughter made for you."

Zhulan then noticed the windmill, which was very beautifully made. "Oh, my Yudie is really a clever girl."

The little girl was extremely proud and raised her head proudly, "My granddaughter can be a better one, but my mother doesn't give me gems, she picks them very hard."

Zhulan tapped the little girl's forehead. The second wife's family was the second richest in the family. The second wife's overseas businesses brought in a lot of money every year. The little girl was raised by her and had a lot of good things in her hands. She had seen so many gems that she didn't think they were so precious.

Zhulan pulled Yudie and said, "Your grandmother Tao is here, why don't you call anyone?"

Yudie then noticed that there were strangers in the room, and hurried out of her grandmother's arms. The little girl was very well-educated, and her manner of greeting was very standard. "Yudie has met Grandma Tao and Miss Sister before."

Tao smiled, "Okay, okay."

Then he said to Zhulan, "Your Jade Butterfly is getting more and more beautiful."

Zhulan knew that it was just a polite remark. Yudie was barely pretty, but her most attractive feature was her agility, which made people unable to take their eyes off her.

No update in the evening, will be updated tomorrow morning, no later than 1 o'clock
