328, Zhu Yousong emissary, Wang Dayu is extremely happy and sad
On that night, King Fu Zhu Yousong and his party rested at an inn.
It has been nearly two thousand years since Qin Shihuang established the post station system, and the entire Chinese dynasty's post station system is very complete.
This place is not too far from the capital, and is a must-pass route for traveling from south to north. However, due to the impact of many wars in the past, this large-scale inn has now been destroyed many places and can only barely move in.
This is undoubtedly very unbearable for Zhu Yousong, who has always been pampered.
Zhu Yousong was furious: "I don't even have hot water, how can I take a bath? I will send someone to do it quickly and find two beautiful women nearby to serve you!"
Zhu Yousong's personal guard chief looked embarrassed: "Prince, this place is dozens of miles away from nearby cities. The round trip time is too long, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Zhu Yousong said angrily: "Didn't I just see passing by a village and town? Where can I find the local juren and Jinshi, and ask them to send a few of them here!"
The chief guard was speechless when he heard this.
You should know that Zhu Yousong was pardoned by Chongzhen's imperial edict this time. Normal people would think that they should act in a low-key manner and return to Nanjing quickly. Why did this King of Fu not follow the ordinary path?
The chief guard was about to continue explaining, but a guard suddenly came over and reported: "Prince, someone outside called himself a slave, Lao Wang, and wanted to see the prince."
The guard said angrily: "Who is the prince? He can see him casually with a cat or a dog? Just drive him away."
The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "But that man has the prince's token."
As he said that, the guard took out a token.
The chief guard took the token and looked at it, and was a little surprised: "It's indeed true... Prince, look."
Zhu Yousong looked at the token in his hand, his expression changed slightly, as if he remembered something, and said, "Let him come in, I want to have a close conversation with him in person, you can keep the outside."
A moment later, a man walked into Zhu Yousong's room.
The man is about thirty years old and is fat. He has a kind smile that is common to businessmen on his face. He saluted Zhu Yousong very respectfully: "Xiaomin Wang Dayu has seen the prince."
Zhu Yousong snorted and said coldly: "Is Fan Yongdou who asked you to come?"
Wang Dayu smiled and said, "Old Master Fan originally wanted to come to see the prince in person, but this place is in the suburbs of the capital. The Dongchang and Jinyiwei are now very arrogant, so it is safer to let Xiaomin, who is running fast, come to see the prince."
"Run fast?" Zhu Yousong looked at Wang Dayu's fat body, obviously feeling a little funny.
Wang Dayu laughed and did not refute. Instead, he took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and placed them in front of Zhu Yousong.
"Prince, this is a little bit of care given to you by our eight families, totaling 2 million taels. As long as you return to Nanjing, you can repay it at any time."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yousong's pupils shrank, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the silver bill in front of him, revealing a greedy expression.
The Fu King's lineage is in charge of Luoyang, which is a city in the Central Plains, and its annual income is quite amazing.
But since Li Zicheng conquered Luoyang a few years ago, all the wealth of the Fu King's lineage has fallen into the hands of the Dashun Army.
Zhu Yousong escaped from Luoyang through great difficulty, and was sent to Nanjing by Chongzhen. Now he has the title of a prince, and nothing else is.
Two million is already a huge sum of money for Zhu Yousong.
Zhu Yousong did not take the silver notes immediately, but looked at Wang Dayu in front of him and said, "What do you mean?"
Wang Dayu smiled and said, "King Fu, what I mean is very simple, I hope to continue the previous cooperation."
Zhu Yousong narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Dayu and said, "Why do you want to inquire about the internal affairs of the court?"
Wang Dayu still said with a smile: "If a business person can get some troubles in the court, it will be a huge profit."
Zhu Yousong snorted and said, "So, this is worth two million?"
Wang Dayu smiled and said, "If King Fu can provide better information, we can give King Fu more."
Zhu Yousong said: "What about?"
Wang Dayu thought for a while and said, "Any information involving the secrets of Daming is OK, and every piece of information has its value."
Zhu Yousong suddenly slapped the table and said, "Who is the master behind you?"
Wang Dayu smiled respectfully on his fat face and looked at Zhu Yousong calmly: "There is no organization for the small people, they are just eight ordinary businessmen."
Zhu Yousong's expression gradually became serious and he said slowly: "You found me when you were in Nanjing. At that time, I did think you were ordinary merchants. But after I came to Beijing, I found out that you guys were secretly having an affair with Jiannu!"
Wang Dayu smiled and shook his head, saying, "The prince must have made a mistake."
Zhu Yousong sneered and said, "You made a mistake? Do you really treat me as an idiot?"
Wang Dayu wanted to say something, but Zhu Yousong suddenly said, "If you can contact Dorgon, I will have something to bring to him."
Wang Dayu paused violently.
After a while, Wang Dayu asked in confusion: "The prince means..."
Zhu Yousong was impatient and said, "Can you or can't?"
Wang Dayu thought for a while and said, "To be honest, we do have several shops in Liaodong and we know some noble people in Liaodong. If the information is really important, I think the noble people should be willing to hand it over to Prince Rui."
Zhu Yousong sneered: "Hyit! Take it and leave it to Dorgon. Remember, don't look through it privately, otherwise you will die miserably."
Wang Dayu put away his smile, carefully took Zhu Yousong's letter into his arms, and then said, "Do you have any instructions?"
Zhu Yousong waved his hand and said, "Get out."
Wang Dayu left.
After Wang Dayu left, the chief guard walked out from the screen in the corner of the room.
The chief guard asked in confusion: "Prince, since this Wang Dayu is a traitor, why do you want to cooperate with him?"
Zhu Yousong looked at the guard chief with some dissatisfaction, and felt in his heart that maybe it was time to change to a new guard chief.
As long as Zhu Ciyang can be hit, what's wrong with working with Dorgon?
Anyway, no matter how much Dorgon won, he would only attack the prestige of Chongzhen, Zhu Ciyang and his son. Could those Jiannu still be able to enter the Central Plains?
On the other side, Wang Dayu left the station in a carriage.
The carriage drove for a while and suddenly turned into the forest on the side of the road.
After a while, the carriage stopped in the forest. Wang Dayu got off the carriage and walked for a while. A small fire suddenly appeared in front of him.
There were a few people sitting next to the fire. Wang Dayu was excited and walked and said, "Everyone, guess what I got from King Fu this time? This is a lot of information. If the operation is done properly, then the damn Zhu Cixuan must have retribution! Hey, why don't you talk?"
Wang Dayu's expression suddenly became frightened and wanted to turn around and run away.
However, as soon as he turned around, he screamed in fear and almost fell to the ground.
Several men in black appeared behind him at some point, holding a powerful crossbow and aimed at all the vital points on Wang Dayu's body.
