Chapter 579: Jiangnan Talents Reunite
Fuzhou City is still bustling, but for the Zheng family, it has become a lonely city, the king's organization has not come ashore, although the seven major families within the pirate alliance have not yet moved, they have already shown their fangs, posing a mortal threat to them, the original Zheng family's control of the government is now also wavering, seems to be ready to fall to the other side at any time.
"Patriarch, why hasn't there been any news from the old man?" A member of the clan asked anxiously.
"I don't know the details yet, I guess I'm in trouble." Zheng Biao didn't know what Zheng Long's situation was in Nanjing, but it was definitely different from what he had originally envisioned, and the changes in Fuzhou City had already explained everything.
"Boss, what are we going to do?" The comer was visibly more uneasy.
"I don't know, now I can only wait for the old man to come back from Nanjing, only he can control the government and integrate many forces together."
Zheng Biao only now understands that the seven major families who were originally good friends with the Zheng family only recognized Zheng Long alone, not the Zheng family, and from the posture of their former allies, Zheng Biao could also guess that their knives were already hidden behind them, and they might swing their knives at any time.
They didn't move for the time being, were they waiting for the Zheng family to weaken, or were they observing the final result of Zheng Long and his party?
The more Zheng Biao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally came to a desperate answer: if Zheng Long and his party couldn't come back, they would actually announce the end of the Zheng family in Fuzhou.
"Continue to send people, rush to Nanjing at full speed, we must bring back the news of Nanjing, and we must let the old man return as soon as possible." After Zheng Biao gave the order, his heart was desolate, and there was only this thing he could do.
"Zheng Long had a stroke, and now the Zheng family is asking for famous doctors everywhere, and the famous doctors of the Taiyi Hall have concluded that there is no hope of recovery." Jun smiled.
Besides, after hearing the news, there was no surprise, what he wanted most was not this result, but the disappearance of Zheng Boyong, as long as Zheng Boyong died, the marriage contract would automatically become invalid.
"Zheng Boyong is still alive?" And it's like asking yourself.
"Understood, wouldn't it be over if you spoke earlier?" Jun gave him a big roll of the eyes.
"What's the use of me talking, I'm not the king of Hades, I said that if he dies, he can die." Besides, I don't get angry.
"Well, although you are not the king of Hades, you can also be a judge, you say that if he dies, he will not live." Zhou Ding became enlightened.
These days, the two outsiders were not idle, they followed to Nanjing, monitored the movements of the Zheng Mansion, and did not return to Suzhou until today.
The three of them gathered in Wenbin's mutton shabu shop, eating mutton shabu and drinking the homemade aged wine of the Zhou family, celebrating the return to freedom.
Xiao Nier didn't come, she accompanied Pomegranate in Chen's Mansion, but Pomegranate insisted, as if she was afraid that she would sneak away, so she had to take the hostage.
"You're."
Besides, he didn't take Xiaojun's words seriously, he thought that Zheng Boyong was hiding in Zheng Haonan's mansion now, and even the Qin ace would not dare to openly attack Zheng's mansion and kill people.
"Besides, you said this, let Zheng Boyong's kid disappear, Brother Zhou, did you hear that?" Jun reconfirmed.
"Well, I heard it, I testify, he can't rely on it." Zhou Dingcheng understood the meaning of Xiaojun's words.
"What are you two doing? One sings and one harmonizes. "And I feel it.
"It's nothing, we, we're not upholding justice." Zhou Dingcheng swallowed.
"Don't mess around, although Wei Guogong is good to me, he won't ignore you messing around in Nanjing." Besides, go back to make up for it immediately.
"Of course we won't mess around, but if Zheng Boyong can't think about it himself and hangs himself by hanging the beam, what can we do?" Jun poured a large glass of wine, and then grabbed a crystal goose head and clicked it.
Besides, frowning, he roughly guessed the thoughts of these two people, since Zheng Boyong committed suicide, what else is there to say.
Besides, this time he really moved to kill, and he only killed twice in his life, once because of Zuo Ling's matter, once because of the present, but coincidentally, both times because of the marriage change.
"Your eldest brother Wucheng Hou is a ruthless man, now his eyes are in and out of Nanjing City, and he seems to have made up his mind to destroy the Zheng family. The last time he killed the fifty guards of the Zheng family, he hadn't had enough time yet. Xiao Jun held the goose head and admired.
"That's it, which is the official army, it's much more ruthless than the bandits, and it's not particular at all. We watched from the periphery with a heartbeat. Zhou Dingcheng's face trembled.
In the past, the sign of the official army was that there was not enough banditry, and there was more than enough to disturb the people, and although the common people were afraid of bandits, they were even more afraid of the officials and soldiers. In terms of disturbing the people and harming the people, the officials and soldiers of the Ming and Qing dynasties all had one virtue: a fierce mess.
Therefore, this time, the Governor's Mansion resolved the remnants of fifty Japanese pirates within a quarter of an hour, which was highly praised in the imperial court.
There was nothing to be proud of when 500 officers and soldiers achieved such a feat against 50 people, but Hu Zongxian led hundreds of thousands of troops to deal with only tens of thousands of pirates, but it still took many years to exhaust the national funds before he barely won the victory. In contrast, the Governor's Mansion's record this time is certainly impressive.
After Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang returned to Nanjing from Hangzhou, they heard the news of pomegranate here, and immediately rushed to Suzhou from Nanjing, Wen Zhengming and Shen Zhou naturally followed back to Suzhou, and several people immediately gathered at Chen's mansion.
"Sister Pomegranate, how can this be?" When Qiu Xiang saw Pomegranate, she hugged her and cried uncomfortably.
"Don't do this, be careful of the tires." Besides, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Go aside." Qiu Xiang burst out laughing.
Besides, he stepped aside, he didn't want to tease Qiu Xiang, but he was afraid that she would make Pomegranate cry again, so he was retreating.
"How's it going?" Tang Bohu only heard the news, and didn't know much about the details.
"It's almost solved, and the hardest time has long passed." And sighed.
He will never forget the fear and anger of the first time he heard the news, when he fell from heaven to hell in an instant, when his whole mind was to kill the Zheng family, even if he was forced to flee overseas and never return.
Now his killing intent has weakened, but he is still unwilling to let go of Zheng Boyong, he believes that Zheng Boyong is the culprit of this change, and he should bear all the consequences.
If Zheng Boyong knew his thoughts, he would probably be called "Big Brother, I'm just a tool, I really don't blame me for this."
Moreover, he never knew that the Zheng family had a deeper intention hidden, that is, the plan of the Pirate Alliance against him. In fact, the Zheng family never thought of marrying Pomegranate, if they really wanted to marry this family, they would not hide the marriage contract, let alone not contact for more than ten years.
Besides, if you don't know your background, you don't understand how important your position is, and of course you can't guess the intentions of the Zheng family.
Pomegranate, Sisi, Qiu Xiang and Xiao Nier entered the room to talk, and invited Tang Bohu and the three of them to his room, as soon as Pomegranate cried that day, he couldn't return to the old mansion, and continued to live here with Pomegranate.
What made him laugh was that Pomegranate had really quietly inquired with Xiao Nier: Is that really that terrible, like cattle and horse breeding? Xiao Nier was inexplicable, she didn't know what she was asking, and finally when she understood, she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, and finally told Pomegranate that nothing had happened to her, and that she meant to keep it for Pomegranate.
Pomegranate was skeptical, but it was also very useful.
"So, your business has to drag on." Wen Zhengming sighed after listening to the general situation.
"Drag it, see if their Zheng family can drag it, or if we can drag it, I can afford it anyway." Besides, he shrugged his shoulders and didn't care at all.
"Yes, it's really not good, what should you do, it doesn't matter if the wedding is redone." Tang Bohu said with a smile.
"Nonsense, your concept is too advanced." Besides, I can't laugh or cry. If this kind of thing came from his mouth, it would be normal, and Tang Bohu would dare to think so.
"Isn't there no way, if it drags on for ten or eight years, will you really consume energy?" Tang Bohu really thinks so, although this is a bit absurd and unruly, but it is humane.
Tang Bohu thought to himself: I, Tang Bohu, have even done bigamy, is it still a problem to live together before getting married? What's more, this trick is also thanks to you.
"It's okay, our brother will accompany you during this time. Once you return to the old mansion from the Chen Mansion, we will be on call. "Wen Zhengming is very righteous and authentic.
"Thank you." Besides, he didn't say much, but bowed his hands.
Wen Zhengming and Shen Zhou have obviously had a different attitude than before since they got the deposit money.
"Isn't Zheng Boyong a student of Guozijian, why don't you let Guozijian exert pressure there?" Shen Zhou was puzzled.
"What can the prince of the country do, as long as this marriage contract is still there, the emperor has no problem." Besides, he secretly laughed at Shen Zhou's stupidity.
"Then will your entry into the country be affected?" Tang Bohu asked.
"It doesn't matter, the teacher has already told them that it's okay to go later."
A few people chatted, Tang Bohu also brought a few paintings of autumn fragrance with the West Lake as the background, and after seeing it, he greatly appreciated it, so he accepted it, which was the first batch of works handed over to him by Tang Bohu.
Shen Zhou and Wen Zhengming didn't do anything during this time, and they didn't dare to buy the river-view house on the bank of the Qinhuai River, for fear that the situation here would change, and they would have to hand over the silver ticket.
They followed Tang Bohu back to Suzhou, but also to make sure that there was no change here, and after accepting Tang Bohu's paintings, they were sure that they didn't have to return the deposit, and they could also buy a house with the boldness.
They have already looked at the house, not far from Tang Bohu's residence, push open the window is the Qinhuai River, look at the painting boats coming and going in the river, listen to the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo, suddenly like in a fairyland.
Especially at night, the river is illuminated by the lanterns on the painting boat, such as a Milky Way falling in the nine heavens, the glamorous prostitutes are either overlooking the railing, or playing the piano and flute, and the painting boats are more like swimming in the sky, not like in the world.
"Sister Pomegranate, you don't really want to become a monk, do you?" Qiu Xiang asked with big furry eyes.
