Chapter 10 He is scared
After Zhu Gang finished speaking, he blinked his greedy eyes and stared at Deng Qianqiu: "Say it, say it, we are still young, we are innocent and have nothing to fear."

Deng Qianqiu thought about it, and he gradually integrated into this world. However, in his previous life, he had come into contact with many experience summaries of this era. At this moment, he seemed to be standing on the shoulders of giants. He was afraid that he would not be able to finish talking about the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty even if he talked for three days and three nights.

But where should I start? He thought for a moment and looked up at the King of Jin in front of him.

Got it!

"There is another problem in our Ming Dynasty. In my opinion, this is the feudal system of our Ming Dynasty."

"The feudal system?" Zhu Gang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said with great interest, "Go on."

"The current emperor gained the world as a commoner, so he has few trusted relatives. It is precisely because of this that he feudalized the various sons, hoping to rely on the various princes to protect the capital in the future. There is nothing wrong with doing so, but..."

"Wait a moment, I'll go get some paper and pen." Zhu Gang ran towards the side hall with a limp.

When he came back panting, Deng Qianqiu said, "Your Highness, why do we need to write down what we are talking about in private?"

Zhu Gang smiled and said, "I have had a bad brain since I was young. Since I am exchanging thoughts with Qianqiu, I must write them down. When I can't remember them in the future, I can pick them up and look at them! Okay, okay, don't worry about these, just continue talking."

Deng Qianqiu had no choice but to continue speaking. Of course, he was very good at language skills and tried his best not to touch on anything taboo.

Zhu Gang was taking notes while sweating profusely and nodding his head hurriedly.

After finally finishing his words, Zhu Gang's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said, "If I hear the truth in the morning, I am willing to die in the evening. Qianqiu's words really enlightened me! It's great, haha, it's great."

Deng Qianqiu said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. I have to go on duty."

"Go, go." Zhu Gang said, "Don't worry, follow me and prepare to enjoy delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

This is the third time he has said that he enjoys eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks.

Zhu Gang seemed a little reluctant, and said, "But I will be going back to Nanjing soon. I am afraid that I will not be able to see you for some time. It is really a pity. I am about to say goodbye to you. I wonder if you have any requests? Uh, except money."

Deng Qianqiu thought about it, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. A sly look flashed across his eyes, and he said, "I do have an unwelcome request, and I hope Your Highness will grant it."

Zhu Gang pulled himself together and said with a smile, "Go ahead, go ahead. It's okay to go ahead."

Deng Qianqiu said sadly, "Your Highness, I have been loved by Captain Hu since I entered the palace. Captain Hu said that he treats me as his own son. Your Highness, if a person does not know how to repay a favor, what is the difference between him and an animal? Now Your Highness always says that he wants to use me, but I think that if I cannot repay the favor, then even if I eat and drink every day, I will not be happy. If Your Highness wants to treat me well, you might as well treat Captain Hu well first. If you want to reward me, you might as well reward Captain Hu."

Zhu Gang had a smile on his face, but when he mentioned Hu Jian, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

These words of great kindness seemed to be beating the last bit of Zhu Gang's conscience.

Seeing Deng Qianqiu's grateful expression, Zhu Gang looked at Deng Qianqiu with eyes that showed concern for the mentally retarded.

Alas, brother Qianqiu is very talented, but he is too honest.

"Hmm..." Zhu Gang hesitantly said, "I know, I know, go and do your thing."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now." Deng Qianqiu said goodbye and left.

As soon as Deng Qianqiu left, Zhu Gang said to the eunuch expressionlessly, "Call that bastard Hu Jian."

"Here."

……

When Deng Qianqiu reached the bell and drum tower of Fengyang Imperial City, he happened to see Hu Jian coming towards him surrounded by several captains.

Hu Jianlong walked with the gait of a tiger, looking around proudly, and several captains followed him closely with a flattering look on their faces.

Deng Qianqiu had no choice but to step forward and greet him.

Hu Jian's eyes turned aside, deliberately not looking at Deng Qianqiu, and he just said nonchalantly: "Oh, it's General Deng, General Deng... When you are on duty in the palace, you have to be alert, don't just look up and forget to look at the ground, otherwise you will fall down. You are still young, you must not make mistakes."

Deng Qianqiu: “…”

Seeing that Deng Qianqiu didn't respond, Hu Jian became even more furious, but he didn't make a sound. Instead, the captain next to him said, "Didn't General Deng hear what the captain said? The most important thing in the guards is respect for superiors and subordinates. How can you be so rude to the captain?"

Deng Qianqiu said: "You are just a captain, and I am the general. You know the hierarchy, so how dare you act so presumptuously in front of me!"

The captain was stunned and looked at Hu Jian.

Hu Jian, however, was smiling, as if he was happy to see conflicts arise between his subordinates and Deng Qianqiu.

Sure enough, the clerks, flag officers, and captains who followed him all showed resentment towards Deng Qianqiu.

Fortunately, at this time, an eunuch came hurriedly and said, "Captain Hu, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has summoned you." Hu Jian frowned, but glanced at Deng Qianqiu and the others, and said, "You wait here."

After saying this, he hurried to see King Jin without looking back.

Hu Jian was not afraid of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

The two princes in Fengyang Imperial City were both naughty as teenagers, but the King of Qin had the most violent temper and often punished his servants. On the other hand, the King of Jin, although he behaved eccentrically, never bullied the weak.

He entered the bedroom of the Prince of Jin and immediately put on a smiling face, saying, "I am Hu Jian, nice to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin..."

When he said this, he raised his head and was about to salute Jin Wang Zhu Gang happily.

It was too late to say anything, but I heard a roar: "I'm your mother!"

Hu Jian's face darkened, and just as he was stunned, he saw a teacup flying towards him. Before Hu Jian could even show any fear, his eyes blurred, and then he saw the teacup hit him directly on the forehead.

"Ah..." Hu Jian wailed and covered his forehead, only to find that his forehead was swollen.

Then, the King of Jin, Zhu Gang, shouted, "Hit me hard."

Then several eunuchs rushed out from both sides, each holding a stick, and attacked Hu Jian fiercely.

During this interval, there was also the roar of Jin Wang Zhu Gang: "You despicable and shameless person, villain, villain!"

"Beat him to death. If he dies, it will be my fault. I will apologize for it myself!"

Hu Jian rolled on the ground in pain, but the eunuchs beat him with all their might, causing him to wail repeatedly, "It's unfair, it's unfair, Your Highness... Who has slandered me..."

"Criticism..." Upon hearing this, Jin Wang Zhu Gang gnashed his teeth and said, "It seems that this despicable and shameless villain is still obsessed and refuses to change his ways. Beat him up, beat him up!"

"Ah ah ah..."

…………

Deng Qianqiu, several clerks and captains were still waiting in the bell and drum tower.

After waiting for a long time, Hu Jian came nowhere to be seen.

However, a few clerks, flag officers and captains were hiding aside, whispering and chatting about something, and from time to time, they cast malicious glances at Deng Qianqiu.

What Deng Qianqiu felt was loneliness. He had experienced this feeling of being excluded in his previous life when he was left out in the cold. It was very uncomfortable.

But psychological preparation is very important. He just curled his lips and looked like a dull chicken.

Finally, a limping figure appeared in the distance.

The figure was very sad. The crown on his head was gone, his hair was disheveled, the robes he was given were full of holes, and his exposed skin was also covered with scars.

When the clerks and captains saw this, they were shocked and rushed forward to greet the man covered in blood. Someone said in grief and anger: "Captain, what happened? What happened?"

Only Deng Qianqiu stood alone in the distance.

Hu Jian felt pain all over his body. There was blood on his face, but his complexion was pale. He raised his head and stared at Deng Qianqiu intently. He allowed others to support him and said weakly, "Go back to the Qianhu Office, go back to the duty room..."

"Go call the doctor..."

Everyone was in chaos, and they tried their best to carry Hu Jian back to the Qianhu Office.

After finally settling down in the duty room, Hu Jian said, "Everyone leave. Deng Qianqiu, stay."

Everyone looked at Hu Jian in confusion, then at Deng Qianqiu, and finally said goodbye and left.

"Cough... cough... cough..." Hu Jian's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Deng Qianqiu.

Deng Qianqiu grinned and said to Hu Qianhu: "I have seen you..."

Hu Jian waved his hand, signaling Deng Qianqiu not to bow. He coughed twice: "Ahem, there are so many people here just now, so some things are hard to say."

"Please give your instructions, Captain." Deng Qianqiu looked at Hu Jian sincerely.

Hu Jian covered his forehead and said, "No matter whether the past events were pleasant or not, I hope everyone will forget them. From now on, I will not interfere with you, and we will go our separate ways."
