Chapter 80: The Eccentric Father

Aunt Chai didn't understand very well, however, Jiangnan has been the darkest political zhì since ancient times, with intertwined rights and changing interests, almost every time an emperor is changed, there will be a purge of officials, and the people don't pay attention to political affairs, but after a few decades, there are many officials here who are either brought back to Kyoto, or directly beheaded. After careful calculation, it has been decades since the saint ascended the throne, and it has been peaceful and stable here for so many years, is it going to be chaotic again?

Those who can set up stalls by the Huai River are either smart heads, or have a bit of a relationship, everyone is from the city, no more than those really ignorant peasants, how much they thought of these truths, and they all frowned, they heard that the saint was unwell in the early years, but they have been dragging it out, and the situation should continue for a while this year, which is a big blow to them.

Different from the sad faces of the people, Mr. Chai is expressionless, and he seems to have a sense of compassion, but a closer look can find that Mr. Chai's voice is joyful. It was previously said that Mr. Chai was on duty in the Zhen Mansion, the Zhen family was the second prince's foreign family, the second prince's party, the prince was bad, the most favorable was the second prince, the second prince was the most favored, the mother concubine was the highest, and the remaining princes were either not high in status or incompetent, and the Jiangnan chaos was just an opportunity for the second prince's party to take the opportunity to gather henchmen and install officials. Mr. Chai's hand holding the package didn't know how tight he felt, the entire Zhen Mansion was very busy, or he, an unappreciated doorman, would not have performed such an important task. There was a gritty glint in the gentleman's slightly squinted eyes, and this was definitely a good opportunity to climb to the top.

Thinking like this, Mr. Chai became more and more excited, his blood swelled, as if the fatigue just now was just an illusion, he picked up the bowl, took a sip, and got up with his hands and feet. Then the gentleman seemed to realize that something was wrong, coughed, looked elsewhere, and said, "It's not too early, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." At the same time, the small burden in his hand was clenched tightly. Fortunately, Aunt Chai silently calculated the gains and losses in her heart, and did not care. With that, he strode away.

After he left, the original silent atmosphere was suddenly broken, and it boiled like cold water into hot oil in an instant.

"Yo, what does this matter have to do with us, why is it blocking our way of life......"

"What else can I want, I just hope for a good ending......"

"Isn't it all a loss for so many ingredients I ordered......

"Who knows if what the gentleman said is true, why listen to him......

"Shhhh

"Which Zhen Mansion?"

"Which Zhen Mansion is there, which Emperor Zhen's family, the future emperor's foreign family......"

"It's that one, that one is the most sought-after girl, so let's just get through it......"

"Who knows! Who knows if it's true or not......

……

At this time, no one noticed that during the quarrel, the three people who were sitting on the edge of the teahouse quietly left quietly, and if a careful person looked at it again, they could find that the direction of the three leaving was the same as that of the gentleman who had just caused everyone to argue.

Looking back at Mr. Chai, Mr. Chai was about to go to Zhen's Mansion, walking in the alley, in order to go back quickly, the alley was facing the gate of Zhen's Mansion, and when he was about to go out of the alley, Mr. Chai saw that the people at the gate of Zhen's Mansion were continuous, coming and going, this was not the beginning of the banquet, Mr. Chai knew that they were here to say hello and take a relationship, Mr. Chai was proud and excited, and the day of his promotion and fortune was just around the corner, fortunately, he was smart and took refuge in the Zhen family at the beginning, and the future wealth was indispensable to himself, the smile on Mr. Chai's face was unbearable, but at this moment, Mr. Chai only felt a pain behind him, and his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything。

I don't know how long later, Mr. Chai was woken up by the noise not far away, and he struggled to lift his groggy head, and at this time, something slipped from his head. The sky is dark, but the moon is very bright, and the Zhen Mansion in front of the alley is also brightly lit, taking advantage of the light, Mr. found that this is the burden he used to wrap things, and suddenly his heart tightened, and the numbness from the heart to the limbs was transmitted to the limbs, regardless of the physical no, even the crawling belt rolled up, groping to find the things in the baggage, but at this time, a cloud covered the moon, a pitch black, which can be touched by the afterglow of the lamp, a little touch, Mr. is just a scholar, back and forth several times, tired and paralyzed in the corner.

The dark clouds gradually dissipated, the bright moonlight poured down, and the illuminated alleys were also clear, and there was nothing else in the clean alleys. At this point, if you don't know what happened, Mr. has lived in vain for so long. Leaning against the corner, thinking of the trembling that just received this, thinking of the joy when he was about to go out of the alley, and the fantasy of being promoted and making a fortune, all of them were gone, and it was possible to invite murder. He wanted to escape, but he had been a member of the Zhen Mansion, and he still didn't know where the Zhen family's power was in this area, and where he could flee to! Not long ago, he was so happy with the general trend of the Zhen Mansion, so now how afraid and disgusted he is of it. After being silent for a long time, Mr. Chai stumbled to his feet and went to Zhen's mansion......

Not far from Zhen's Mansion, there is a dwelling, in which people in uniform come and go, but they settle silently, and they only think that this place has been uninhabited for a long time. In the past few days, the Jiangnan officialdom has been turbulent and dark, and all kinds of news have been gathered and recorded here, along with all kinds of account books, including those obtained from the hands of Zhenfumen not long ago, have been gathered together, wrapped in oilcloth paper, and handed over to the chief steward first, and then given to Gongzi, who is not a bystander, but the master of the three masters and servants sitting in the teahouse, and Jiang Zining, the cousin of the fourth prince Zhao Qisheng.

Jiang Zining just took a look at it and put it down. The gentleman's style is unparalleled in the world, and the corners of his lips outline a mocking smile.

"It's also a shame that this Zhen family claims to be a century-old family, and it looks so ugly!" The slightly vulgar and ugly words came out of the mouth of this jade man, as beautiful and elegant as poetry.

"In this Jiangnan region, including Jinling, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other major tax-paying areas and grain-producing cities, about eight to ninety percent of the officials are either confidants of the Zhen Mansion or vassals of the Zhen Mansion, and there are even some places where there is a saying that only the Zhen Mansion does not know the imperial court."

"It's just some people who tend to be inflammatory, and they only know the trend of cooking oil and flowers in the fire, but they don't know that the tree is big and windy, and sooner or later the tree will be cut down, and the tree can only fall and scatter. ”

"The emperor is old, and he has the favor of the second prince of Zhen Guifei, even if the credit for the rehabilitation of Prince Yizhong is mainly in the fourth prince, but the emperor still only sees the mother and son of the second prince, and the second prince party is rich, powerful and favored, how can the tree fall?"

After all, it's not my own person, and I don't even know this. This manager was sent by the four princes, and Jiang Zining just disliked him for being clumsy and rude, but for the sake of the four princes, he had to say it carefully. Besides, he and the four princes seem to have a close relationship, but if the plan is successful, it will be the difference between the monarch and the minister.

In the past two years, the climate has been abnormal, and the imperial court has always spent a lot of money to provide disaster relief, according to Qin Tianjian's inference, this year will not be an exception, you see the Zhen Mansion acting like this, and the money is in their hands, can they still take it out? The emperor is old and eccentric, he is also the emperor! In addition, the Zhen Mansion is powerful, you only see the height of this city wall, but you do not see its shoddy construction, and it will fall down if you push it. When the emperor is angry, it's our chance. ”

Which parents are not partial, but there are always those who can suppress this partiality, such as elders, etiquette, identity, responsibility, public opinion, etc.

"Childe is wise. ”

"Don't look at all of this, let's send it all back to Kyoto!"

The manager nodded yes, handed the thing to the others, and then asked,

"It's an eventful time now, why don't you go to Kyoto earlier so that you can help your master plan for great things. ”

"Ahem, my mother and father thought I was weak and let me live up to their wishes in Jiangnan, how could I live up to their wishes?" Obviously smiling gently, the manager felt a trace of coldness for some reason.
