The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 529 Persuading Zhu Yunwen

Upon hearing this, the man hurriedly said, "Your Highness is truly wronged. I didn't say it was a kickback. I didn't even dare touch a single drop of tea or errand. The bracelet really isn't worth much money, and the food in Yingtian Prefecture isn't cheap. So, after all that, there's not much left!"

Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath. In the past, he had his own mother and all his money came from her, so he naturally didn't know what saving was.

Only now did he realize how difficult it was to survive in Yingtian Prefecture. Thinking of this, he sighed deeply.

"Alright, alright, let's leave this matter for now. We don't need you here anymore, you can leave now!"

Upon hearing this, the man curled his lip, feeling extremely dissatisfied. He had spent so much time and effort buying things for him, and yet he wasn't even paid for running the errand. He was incredibly stingy.

Thinking of this, he sighed. There was nothing he could do; he had no choice but to be stuck with such a master.

Before long, Zhu Yunwen had devoured all the food on the table.

Zhu Yunwen touched his belly and lay there with a look of enjoyment on his face.

He felt very satisfied at this moment. After such a long time, he had finally had a decent meal.

It's just a pity that I don't have much money, and I don't know how long this meal will last.

As for the money in his fiefdom, Zhu Yunwen shook his head helplessly. Over the years, he had hardly managed his fiefdom at all.

In addition, many places in the southeast are newly developed, so they don't have much to do with him. Thinking of this, he felt depressed. You can't live by being a pawn forever.

Just then, the servant from before rushed in.

Zhu Yunwen was puzzled when he saw the servant come in.

"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you back? Did you come here specifically to ask me for the reward money?"

Upon hearing this, the servant curled his lip. Even if he asked for it, this person would never give it to him; otherwise, he wouldn't be living off it.

"Your Highness, that's not the case. Someone has come to visit, claiming to be an old friend of yours!"

Zhu Yunwen was extremely puzzled upon hearing this. He had already fallen to such a state, so where did these old friends come from? Those who had previously supported him were now avoiding him like the plague.

Now, forget about friendship; even if you came to their door to invite them for a drink, these guys wouldn't dare to come.

However, since someone had come to visit anyway, it didn't matter, so he let the person come.

The person was dressed in concealing clothing and wore a bamboo hat, making it difficult to see their appearance.

This made him very curious.

This person is dressed like this, could it be that he has some unspeakable secret?

"Who are you? Why are you dressed like that and showing your face in public?"

The adults quietly unveiled their disguise.

Zhu Yunwen was greatly surprised when he saw the person inside, because it turned out to be his maternal grandfather, Lü Ben.

Zhu Yunwen almost shouted out loud, but then Lü Ben gestured for him to be quiet.

Zhu Yunwen nodded upon hearing this, and after dismissing the person beside him, he looked at Lü Ben with great excitement.

"Great! Grandpa, what brings you here!" Lu Ben looked at Zhu Yunwen in front of him, extremely satisfied. The future of the Lu family depended on this man. After thinking of this, he said with great dissatisfaction.

"Why can't Grandpa come? Silly child, you've suffered a lot out there!"

Zhu Yunwen nodded immediately after hearing this.

"I regret leaving Yingtian Prefecture. The south is really no place for a human to live, and everyone there obeys Zhu Xiong Ying's orders, not mine!"

"Even getting enough to eat is a huge problem for me. Those people are truly hateful!"

Lu Ben was quite surprised to hear this.

I originally thought that even if my grandson wasn't living a very good life, he wouldn't be too bad, after all, he was a grandson of the emperor.

But he never expected the treatment to be so poor, and thinking about this place filled him with anger.

"It must be that Zhu Xiong Ying's doing again. That man is truly hateful. Now that he has such a position, can't he just leave my grandson alone?"

"Grandson, don't worry, we won't have to suffer like this anymore!"

Zhu Yunwen was extremely excited when he heard this, thinking that his maternal grandfather was going to help him out.

So he ran over and stretched out his hand.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen's actions, Lü Ben was extremely curious, wondering what Zhu Yunwen was up to. At this moment, Zhu Yunwen pursed his lips and said...

"I believe Grandpa loves his grandson. Since that's the case, then please make sure to provide him with more drinks. I can't even afford to eat a proper meal right now!"

Lu Ben's lips twitched upon hearing this. He had thought it was something particularly important, but it turned out to be just this.

Upon hearing about this place, he sighed and said.

"Don't worry, the money is a small matter. I'll have someone send the money over later!"

"I've come to this place today because I have something very important to discuss with you. Once this is done, you'll have endless wealth and glory, and you'll have as much money as you want!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen immediately felt something was off; it sounded like he'd been tricked into eating a big pancake.

However, considering that the person in front of him was his maternal grandfather, he looked at Lü Ben and said.

"Grandpa, please say whatever you want. I have no one else here!"

At this moment, Lü Ben nodded and then said in a low voice.

"Do you know that Zhu Xiong Ying has offended all the powerful families in the court?"

“I told you before that the scholars and powerful families in the world are the greatest foundation of the world. Now that even such a foundation is gone, it is clear that their dynasty will not last long. I plan to contact those powerful families and scholars who are dissatisfied with Zhu Xiong Ying to jointly attack Zhu Xiong Ying!”

"When the time comes, as long as Zhu Xiong Ying is removed from that position, your grandfather will then push you into that position. I think the officials in the court would definitely be very happy to do so!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's lips twitched. So this was what his grandfather was thinking. Thinking of this, he said with some worry.

"Grandpa, I think we should forget about it. Zhu Xiong Ying is very capable, and many generals outside obey his orders. He has complete control of the situation now!"
