Chapter 100: What's the matter?
"Something happened again?"
On the other side, Old Lady Chen asked in surprise.
An old servant nodded.
"I moved the archers, and I almost demolished the Taiping House." "All five men were taken," he said. ”
Old Lady Chen frowned and put down the scroll in his hand.
"Who is it?" He asked.
He asked who it was, not because of what.
"It's a deserter." The old servant took the initiative to speak.
"Deserters?" Old Lady Chen repeated and shook his head, "What is the matter of deserters, how can they hold on to it just because of this..."
It's not in the border army, deserters fleeing here are no different from ordinary people, who can pay attention!
"Really, sir, that's what the officers and soldiers on the spot shouted." The old servant said.
"It's just shouting." Old Lady Chen said.
"Someone made an anonymous complaint." The old servant added the news he had heard.
Old Lady Chen shook her head with a smile.
How is this possible!
Can an anonymous complaint arrest all the people at once? How can there be such a simple thing in the world!
"Go and ask the master what the hell is going on." He said.
The old servant replied and withdrew.
Old lady Chen changed her hand and held her head, while concentrating.
"Deserters?" He muttered, "Little things? ”
Not long after, the little guy hurried in.
"Master, the master is meeting guests." He said.
"Visitors?" Old Lady Chen frowned, "Who is the visitor?" ”
"It's Lord Cui, the squire of the military department." The little guy said.
The military department?
Old Lady Chen sat upright, her brows furrowed.
It seems that it is not a trivial matter.
And at the same time. Outside the door of the Zhou family's Saturday Lang House. A guy is probe.
The sound of warblers and swallows inside is lively. Liuliulang stood in the hall and watched his mother and maidservants pack their clothes.
This one is going to be brought, that one is going to be brought, and I can't help wiping away tears while talking.
"When I went to Shaanzhou first, my grandparents and grandparents were all thoughtful at home, and my mother didn't have to worry about it, and she couldn't bring so much." Saturday Lang said.
"They arranged it with the thoughtfulness that I arranged." Mrs. Zhou wiped away her tears and said, looking around again. Pointing to the girl, he stuffed in a few big winter sweaters.
Liuliulang shook his head and saw the little guy by the door.
This little guy is in front of the door, could it be....
"The lady is here." The little guy said to him.
Stinky woman!
Saturday Lang clenched his hands and gritted his teeth.
Since the first day of this woman, there has been no time when people are happy to think of it!
Love doesn't come or not, she can't look down on herself anyway!
Liuliulang turned his head and didn't speak.
“… Liulang, this dress is too small, make a few more..."Mrs. Zhou held up a piece of clothing to him and compared it, and said.
Saturday Lang nodded.
She... What to do?
Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Hall
This woman is even more so.
She didn't care about marriage, and she suddenly came home. Is there something else that matters?
Liuliulang turned his head, and the little guy hurriedly gestured at him again.
"Rokuro."
Mrs. Zhou's voice rang in her ears.
Saturday Lang was startled and quickly turned his head. I saw Mrs. Zhou standing in front of me.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Zhou asked, looking at the little guy.
The little guy bowed his head.
"Nothing." Saturday Lang said.
Where will Mrs. Zhou believe.
"Say, what's the hell going on?" She shouted at the little girl.
The little guy was scared.
"The lady is here." He said immediately.
Mrs. Zhou was also taken aback.
"What is she doing here?" She asked, looking at Liulang, "Are you going to force marriage?" ”
To say that in the past, Liulang's heart could flutter twice when he heard it, but at this time...
"I'm not going to do this." He sneered.
Mrs. Zhou didn't care about packing her clothes, so she hurriedly asked the girl to inquire, and the girl came back after a while.
"The old man and the lady are gone." She said.
"Out of the woods?" Mrs. Zhou was even more surprised, "Where to go?" Do? ”
"Said something was wrong." The girl said.
Mrs. Zhou and Liulang's expressions changed slightly.
"Something happened again? What's going on again? They asked in unison.
Master Zhou came back quickly, and Cheng Jianniang came in when he couldn't sit in the tea shop for more than two teas.
"It's really a coincidence, there are more people who hide the accusation, but this one met Liu Kui." Master Zhou said, while sitting down, "This Liu Kui, who is well-fed, actually used this as a fight, I didn't find him at the right time, I'll go to his house in a while, Jiao Niang, you don't have to worry, just leave this matter to me." ”
On the other hand, he was filled with righteous indignation.
"These people who don't have long eyes, they still go to Taipingju to arrest people, and they don't look at it, it's Taipingju! It's me....cough cough..."
Although he decided in his heart that the Taiping Residence and the Immortal Residence were equivalent to his own, he really couldn't say it in front of the real master.
What's more, Cheng Jianniang herself has never said it.
"Look at this time, I'm going, can I talk about you?" He asked tactfully.
Cheng Jianniang seemed to be distracted and did not answer.
Master Zhou was a little weak and coughed.
"Now the military of the DPRK and China is complicated, and there are endless quarrels, this Liu Kui made this incident, but he can't show the credit, maybe he will be criticized, and he regrets it, he must have said nonsense when he reported it, otherwise the military department would not approve it." He said with a smile.
Cheng Jianniang, who was distracted, looked up at him.
"Why won't the Ministry of War approve it?" She asked.
Master Zhou twisted his beard and smiled.
"Although Ming didn't say it, but when Mrs. Chen recommended Taiping Tofu to Monk Minghai, everyone knew the truth." He said, "So the world knows that the Taiping of the Tao has something to do with the Chen family, and many people even guess that the owner behind it is the Chen family." ”
Cheng Jianniang nodded.
She knew about this misunderstanding, and she was happy to see it, and besides, it was indeed true.
"Cui Qi, the squire of the military department, and Chen Xianggong are one party." Master Zhou said. "If he knew that these deserters were from Taipingju. He wouldn't approve it. So don't worry, you don't need to come forward, I'll go to them and talk to them one by one, and this matter will be solved. ”
Cheng Jiaoniang's expression was still the same, looking at Master Zhou as if she was thoughtful.
"What party?" She asked suddenly.
"What party?" Master Zhou was stunned.
"What kind of party is the party of the military department squire and Lord Chen?" Cheng Jianniang asked.
Master Zhou laughed, in the end, the woman in the boudoir didn't know about the affairs of the court, and she couldn't understand these words.
"It's the meaning of a faction." He smiled, and wanted to say this again, the little lady probably didn't understand. "For example, now in punishing Wang Butang and re-selecting the candidate for the pacification envoy of the Northwest Economic Strategy, the two of them have the same opinion."
Cheng Jianniang sighed.
"So you think, if you arrest the deserters and hold them accountable, if you are implicated, the matter of Taipingju is indispensable, wouldn't that make Lord Chen embarrassed, and Lord Cui will not do this at this time." Master Zhou smiled, "Don't worry..."
"Why wouldn't you do that at this time? Is there anything that matters at this point? Cheng Jianniang interrupted him and asked again.
This kid is really good....
It's rare that she took the initiative to come to herself when something happened, it can be seen that she was a relative, and Master Zhou was very happy. I couldn't help but feel a little proud, so I patiently asked questions.
"That's a long story." He said. "Do you remember the last time I was framed by that guy surnamed Liu?"
Cheng Jianniang nodded.
"It was a small thing." Master Zhou was indignant when he said it, "The surname Liu is the right time, the northwest was defeated, the emperor was furious, those civil servants in the court chased Wang Butang and bit it, and the impeachment played in front of the emperor was enough to be one person high, even if there was a high pass to support it, it was not shocked, it was hard to cut his post and investigate, Wang Butang's subordinate Liu Jun was beheaded to show the public, at this time, if something happened, he could be played in front of the emperor and convicted of a major military crime, so it became a fatal matter, no one dared to come forward to help, the loss was Jiaojiaoer you, Otherwise, our Zhou family might have been imprisoned."
If it weren't for Jiaojiao'er you, these things would probably not be there, of course, Master Zhou would never say this.
He just sighed, with a little helplessness and a little light wind that saw through the world.
"This is the way this court fights, you live and die, sweep a large area..."
"Who is Wang Butang?" Cheng Jianniang asked.
Master Zhou frowned slightly, this kid asked too carefully.
"He is the former governor of Suzhou and the pacification envoy of the Northwest Economic Strategy, and he was a member of the Privy Council." He said, "It's the highest official position among the generals, and not everyone can sit in this position, even if Wang Butang hadn't found a good backer, he wouldn't have easily sat here..."
"Is it a Qualcomm business?" Cheng Jianniang asked.
The kid listened carefully enough.
Master Zhou nodded.
"Who is he?" Cheng Jianniang asked again.
It's really...
"The concubine's surname is Gao," Master Zhou said, "The Queen Mother is also surnamed Gao." ”
Cheng Jianniang nodded.
"Among the people who bite Wang Butang and hold on, are there Cui Qi and Chen Shao, the soldiers of the military department?" She asked again.
Hey, okay, you can guess what you didn't say.
"yes." Master Zhou nodded and said.
"So they're a party?" Cheng Jianniang asked.
Master Zhou nodded, oh, yes, yes, this is back to their original question and answer, it's such a big circle......
Cheng Jianniang didn't ask anymore and was silent.
"So don't worry about this, it's a trivial matter." Master Zhou said, and also returned to the original topic, "I'll go to Liu Kui tomorrow, and I'll also go to say hello to the military department...."
"Uncle." Cheng Jianniang interrupted him and said, "No need. ”
Master Zhou was stunned.
"What's not to use?" He asked.
"Uncle has already helped me with this, so I don't have to worry about the rest." Cheng Jianniang said.
Is this distressed and afraid of bothering yourself? Still don't feel like you need it anymore?
Master Zhou consciously chose the latter species.
Does her relationship with the Chen family have to be said directly?
"You don't need to let Chen Xianggong know, this is a trivial matter, and I will do it." Master Zhou said with a smile.
Cheng Jianniang shook her head.
"It's not a trivial matter." "At first it was a small thing, but now, it's not." ”
Master Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
After all, it's still a little girl, and when she encounters so many things, she is too careful.
"I'm not too careful." Cheng Jianniang said, "It's just that I am used to thinking the worst in advance." ”
When Master Zhou thought of this woman's methods, he couldn't help but look a little solemn.
"You, what comes to mind? Is it Zhilu Dao, who is offended? He asked.
At the beginning, when she came to say that Xu Maoxiu and others had been arrested, Master Zhou's first thought was to offend people again, but he said that he couldn't remember to offend people, and asked him to ask about the specific situation.
It seems that this is remembered?
"I may not be human when I offend." Cheng Jianniang said.
Not human?
If someone else said this, Master Zhou would directly slap him, but this woman said...
The tea room is quiet, the sunlight is blocked, it looks a little gloomy, the woman in front of her is sitting upright in plain clothes, her expression is pale and wooden, and her eyes are dull and dead....
Thinking about what happened to her...
Although they stay away, people in officialdom will more or less believe a little bit of ghosts and gods...
Not people...
Master Zhou couldn't help but shudder.
"What's that?" He asked with a dry smile.
"Luck." Cheng Jianniang said. (To be continued......)
