It’s not too shabby to visit his father-in-law. Zhu Yinglong asked Xiong Hu to pick up a few pretty decent gifts, hired a soft sedan chair, and took Shi Kefa out.

The light car was simple, and Zhu Yinglong did not deliberately hide anything. He went out of the mansion with Shi Kefa openly, and then headed south to the city together.

With the identity of the royal relative, Zhou Kui, the deputy commander of the army in the south of the city, was quite steady. It was not that Wei Zhongxian had no idea about Zhou Kui, but Zhou Kui was very sleek. The married daughter and the water splashed out of the water were not the same as ordinary correspondence, and Wei Zhongxian got a trace of useful information. Moreover, Zhou Kui was greedy for money. Wei Zhongxian thought that such a person was easy to buy and could not accomplish a big deal, so he never touched him.

The Zhou Mansion is located in Xinghua Lane. The gate is not big, but it is too high. The two pairs of small stone lions in front of the door are also spiritual. The word "Zhou Mansion" that asks gold seems to have been replaced for a while, and the red paint on the gate seems to be repainted not long ago. Last year, Zhou Yingning also brought a sum of 5,000 taels of silver to his father. His father likes yellow and white things. She is still very clear about her daughter. The official service of the Ming Dynasty is actually not low, but the social engagements in the officialdom are too high. This is why it is normal to embezzle and accept bribes. Military officers like Zhou Kui are not inferior.

The filial piety of an officer is the only way to accumulate money by eating an empty salary. However, his father-in-law is very good at enjoying it. First of all, he did not label himself as a clean official. Just look at the quiet and elegant construction of the mansion, and he did not reveal himself very much. His mansion is not as big and grand as other officials like, the better. He chose a house that is not big or small, more than the lower and less than the lower, and the location he chose is inconspicuous. Just look at the house of his father-in-law, Zhu Yinglong could see that Zhou Kui was a person who was deeply in the wise and self-protection spirit.

After some red tape that had to be done, Zhou Kui welcomed Zhu Yinglong and Shi Kefa into his living room.

"I don't know that the prince suddenly came to the lower class. Is Ning'er's child pregnant?" Zhou Kui said this so that Zhu Yinglong, who had taken a sip of hot tea, was shocked and spit out all of them.

My father-in-law's Lenovo was too unreliable. Zhu Yinglong's face suddenly turned red when he was choked by the tea. He coughed for a few times before he recovered.

"This, no, no..." Zhu Yinglong shook his hands repeatedly. Shi Kefa, who was sitting beside him, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. He was sad when he closed his mouth tightly.

"I am visiting my father-in-law in particular." Zhu Yinglong ordered the guards to carry the gift in and said.

Zhou Kui glanced at his eyes and knew that the things were valuable. He refused repeatedly: "Prince, it is already a great honor to be able to see the ministers. How dare you accept your gifts again?"

"This is also the filial piety of the king and the princess. Don't refuse my father-in-law."

"Since this is the case, then I'm not polite." Zhou Kui didn't want anything in his heart. After refusing, he asked someone to carry the gift in.

Next, I just asked Zhou Yingning about her recent situation. She talked about some common things between her father-in-law and son-in-law. Zhu Yinglong came here today to check it out and learn about this father-in-law first. Let's go back and make plans. After a while, you ask, and the conversation I answered was over. Zhu Yinglong didn't know what to say next, and Zhou Kui didn't know what to ask. The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became awkward.

"How long will the prince stay in the capital?" Zhou Kui finally found a question to ask.

"I don't know, I may have to wait until after the birthday festival before I can go back. Do my father-in-law want me to send something to Yingning?"

"No, my subordinates just asked casually." Zhou Kui smiled embarrassedly, with a hint of unnatural smile.

Zhu Yinglong originally thought it was a very ordinary problem, but the change in Zhou Kui's face suddenly made him feel a little suspicious, but he did not show it at the time and said calmly: "It won't be too long, I guess I can catch up with the last time I go to Kaifeng for the New Year."

Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon at once. After Zhou Kui naturally kept it, Zhu Yinglong and Shi Kefa stayed for a meal, and then left the Zhou Mansion. Zhu Yinglong asked the sedan chair to follow him and walked on the street with Shi Kefa.

"Xianzhi, what do you think?" Zhu Yinglong asked as he walked.

"The prince's father-in-law is probably not as simple as greedy for money on the surface?" Shi Kefa stood from the perspective of the bystander and saw the most clearly, and he was much calmer than Zhu Yinglong's analysis, so he wanted to bring Shi Kefa with him.

"Mingzhe protects himself, I can see this." Zhu Yinglong said with a smile.

"Mingzhe is good to protect himself, but from the time we entered the Zhou Mansion and even at the end of the banquet, the students seemed to be reluctant to observe all his smiles, as if they were not from their original wishes." Shi Kefa recalled it back and forth.

Zhu Yinglong's steps immediately stopped. He did notice Zhou Kui's unnatural expression just now and said, "What do you mean is, is there something hidden behind this?"

"I don't know, the students are just guessing, and there may be nothing wrong with it." Shi Kefa said.

The more I think about it, the more I doubt it, the more I think about it, the more I am wrong. The guess alone cannot prove any problem. With Tian Hongyu, Zhu Yinglong must not allow the second Tian Hongyu to appear. With Zhu Yinglong's cautious attitude of not being afraid of ten thousand but only being afraid of ten thousand, he ordered the Shadow to conduct a thorough investigation of Zhou Kui's family.

When the investigation result was put on Zhu Yinglong's desk, he was completely stunned. He was still a little amused. He really didn't expect that Zhou Kui had an affair with Kebaba. Kebaba also had a mansion outside the palace. When Zhou Kui and Kebaba met, it was the time when Emperor Tianqi rushed Kebaba out of the palace under the pressure of his ministers. It was precisely because of this little dewy marriage that Kebaba still had some old love. Wei Zhongxian might have known it, but he did not touch Zhou Kui in the end. No wonder he was so unnatural in front of him, because of this reason.

Also surprised were Shi Kefa and Xiong Hu. The three of them stared at the meticulous investigation data with incredible eyes. I am afraid that later historians would fall below the report when they saw this report.

"It's so ridiculous." Shi Kefa's comment.

"I really didn't expect that, tsk, it was written pretty well." Xiong Hu's face was red, and her phoenix eyes were reluctant to leave that passage. It recorded the acquaintance between Zhou Kui and Kebaba in detail. The content was as exciting as that of a storyteller on the overpass. It might have been written by Zhou Qiyuan himself. He had been doing storyteller before, and he was not familiar with writing such things. He could just use it with his hand. The description was vivid, the blend of scenes, and the enviable literary talent.

If this article was put in front of Zhou Yingning, she would probably not even have the courage to read it. One of the many people in Qubaba's face was her own father. For such a cheap stepmother, Zhou Yingning would not admit that there was such a thing.

But since Zhou Kui had an affair with Kebaba, why didn’t Kebaba help him because of his past relationship and let Zhou Yingning marry him? Could it be that Wei Zhongxian secretly made a fuss and took revenge on Zhou Kui? The more he thought about it, the only reason could make sense.

It was too chaotic. Zhu Yinglong found that the chaos in history was beyond his imagination. He couldn't help but worry about his future.
