Chapter 248: Collusion

A carriage stopped under the obstruction of the city patrol Yushi, and the person in the car showed a delicate sign, and the city patrol Yushi waved and let it go. Under the cover of night, the carriage headed towards the eastern city and came to the gate of a magnificent building.

The coachman came forward and knocked on the door, and the corner door was soon opened, and a man dressed as a chamberlain whispered a few words to the coachman, and the coachman turned to the carriage to report to him, and soon a man came out of the carriage. If Chen San was present, he would definitely recognize this person as Mr. Zheng who Zhou Heng searched everywhere.

Mr. Zheng has been hiding in the house for many days, and recently the news has gradually relaxed, so he finally got on the line with Wang Zhe and made an appointment to visit today.

Wang Zhe's injuries had healed, and the assassin was executed at the entrance of the vegetable market at his request, and he was in a good mood. It's just one thing, Zhu Pizhi's power can never be taken back, every time he thinks of this, he hates Zhou Heng so much.

Without the power of Zhu Pi, he received a lot of silver, jewelry, jade and antiques. In his concept, Zhou Heng earned all this income. How does this work? He vowed to get everything he had gotten back and drive Zhou Heng back to Jincheng, where birds don't.

Mr. Zheng asked someone to send a generous gift and asked to see him as a staff member of Zhou Kang, the king of Chu, and he immediately agreed. No matter what Mr. Zheng wants to do, it is a good thing to receive a gift.

Mr. Zheng entered the mansion under the guidance of the little chamberlain. Although most of the dark scenery is not clear, you can still feel that this mansion is beautiful, like a heavenly palace.

Wang Zhe, dressed in a fur coat, met him in a house inlaid with gold and jade.

"I came to visit the chief steward on the order of my lord." Mr. Zheng bowed halfway and said, "My lord asks the chief manager." ”

Wang Zhe laughed. said: "The prince of Chu is polite. Not long after our family was assassinated, fortunately, the hateful assassin had been slashed with a thousand knives, which relieved our family's hatred. How can it be bad? ”

At the mention of the assassin, the corners of Mr. Zheng's eyes jumped. When he assassinated Wang Zhe, he had not yet arrived in the capital, and Chen San did it, and among the four people who were executed by Ling Chi, there was no trace of Chen San. I don't know what Chen San's whereabouts are, so I can't help but worry him.

Wang Zhe smiled happily, but he didn't feel Mr. Zheng's strangeness. said: "I don't know if the prince of Chu asked Mr. Zheng to come." For what? ”

"The chief manager has assisted the emperor in dealing with the government for many years, and now he has been taken away by the conspiracy of the king of Jin. Take back the power of Zhu Pi. Mr. Zheng said. A gift slip was then delivered.

Wang Zheyue flipped through the gift list. The more moved he is, such a heavy gift can be worth dozens of officials. His attitude suddenly became much more affectionate. The smile was even more kind, and he said, "Lord Chu is polite." I just don't know how our family is going to repay it? ”

No matter how greedy he is, he also understands that there is no good thing in the world that is given in vain, Zhou Kang sent people to give him heavy gifts thousands of miles away, and he wanted to help him get back the power of Zhu Pi, so he couldn't help but ask for a little benefit.

Mr. Zheng said with a smile: "My prince is a member of the society, and he has no selfish intentions. As long as the chief manager takes back the right to approve Zhu and agrees to reduce Luoyang's taxes by half, it will be fine. ”

It's easy. Wang Zhe agreed. The two talked happily, and an hour later, Mr. Zheng quietly came out of the corner gate, and Wang Zhe personally sent him to the door, watched him get into the carriage, and turned back.

As soon as Mr. Zheng left, Wang Zhe immediately invited Sun Hua and Xue Ping'an, who were in the wing room, over.

The gift list has been locked up by him, and the gifts are classified and stored by their own henchmen.

Xue Ping'an and Sun Hua didn't like each other, they had been ignoring each other in the wing room just now, and when they saw that the servants in the house came to invite, they were also one after the other, and there was a distance of two or three zhang between the two.

"The chief manager invited so-and-so, I don't know what's going on?" The two stood on their feet and saluted one after another.

Xue Ping'an was called by Wang Zhe, and as soon as he arrived, Mr. Zheng came, and the matter had not yet been discussed.

"Sit down." Wang Zhe pointed to the Nanmu official hat chair and said, "The mutiny of the Datong soldiers was completely caused by the improper appointment of the King of Jin. How can we use this matter to get back Zhu Pi's power? ”

Of course, Xue Ping'an knew that the reason why the soldiers of Datong mutinied was entirely because the soldiers' salaries were withheld by him.

The general soldier of Datong was appointed by Wang Zhe and was named Jiang Xiaotian. This person is not very capable, but his temper is not small, and he spent 10,000 taels of silver to become the general soldier of Datong, and he has to earn it back with interest. In normal times, there are many whips against the soldiers under him, and the soldiers have long been dissatisfied with him. Not only did the salary not be paid on a regular basis, but because the salary had not been paid, he could not deduct it, so he asked the soldiers to hand over money and food to him according to the size of their official position, otherwise he would be whipped. In this way, how can there be no mutiny?

But Xue Ping'an's purpose was to help Wang Zhe squeeze Zhou Heng away. He said: "The chief manager may wish to state to the emperor that the king of Jin is incompetent, and ask the king of Jin to return to the fiefdom." ”

Wang Zhe sighed: "Our family has already mentioned it to the emperor, but the emperor just doesn't speak." ”

Mentioning it in person is much more useful than folding it in person. Emperor An usually listens to him for everything, even if he wants the moon in the sky, he will find a way to get it for him, but in this matter of Zhou Heng, no matter what he says, he completely goes in and out of his left ear.

Sun Hua secretly competed with Xue Ping'an, and hurriedly said, "Could it be that King Jin will be a demon law?" Otherwise, why didn't the emperor listen to the chief manager? ”

Emperor An has always obeyed Wang Zheyan, and only does his own thing in Zhou Heng's affairs.

Wang Zhe's eyes lit up and said, "Could it be that he knows how to demons?" ”

Sun Hua said: "The chief manager might as well let out the rumors and say that the King of Jin will know the demon law, so that the emperor is only afraid of avoiding him." ”

Seeing that Sun Hua had taken the lead, Xue Ping'an hated it. Since Zhou Heng took power, his life in the household department has become more and more difficult, and he knows that he can't escape Cui Zhenjing's death, Cui Keyin will definitely not let him go, I just hope to drive Zhou Heng back to the fiefdom as soon as possible, Cui Keyin can be helpless against him, and then use Wang Zhe's power to exile Cui Zhenyi, and kill Cui Zhenyi on the way to exile, so that it can be a hundred. Wang Zhe can't hold power, he can't do anything.

"I'm afraid the emperor won't believe it." Xue Ping'an objected: "It's better to make some fuss about the mutiny of the soldiers, so that Zhou Heng will retreat." ”

Wang Zhe saw that the two of them were clinging to each other, and became impatient, and said, "Isn't there a better way?" ”

It's best if both of you agree. These two people, for now, are his brains, and he relies on the most confidants. Even if the two of them have differences, how can things be done?

The two saw that Wang Zhe was unhappy, so they had to think about a good strategy.

Zhou Heng and Cui Keyin, who were far away in Liyu Hutong, had just finished their meal that they didn't know if it was supper or dinner, and they didn't know that this group of people used their brains all night to think of ways to deal with them.

Cui Keyin urged Zhou Heng to rest early: "I was busy all night yesterday, and if I don't rest, I'm going to be tired." ”

I exerted a lot of strength just now, but what should I do if my body is really tired?

Zhou Heng smiled meaningfully at her and pulled her to rest together. The Purple Smoke Pavilion turned off its lights and plunged into darkness. (To be continued.) )
