Chapter 188: Decision
Chen Wenzheng couldn't hide the joy on his face, as if the suffocating evil spirit of the previous days had been swept away, and the whole world was clear and clean.
"Zhu Wenkang is dead, you don't have to marry this wicked man, the crisis in Yunlai Hotel has been temporarily lifted." Chen Wenzheng repeated again, his tone and expression full of joy.
"Is he really dead?" Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but mutter.
"It's true. As soon as I heard about this, I went to see it with Panqing in person. At that time, his body was still at the door of the teahouse, surrounded by a sea of people, a large pool of blood. Someone is clapping their hands. Chen Wenzheng patted the table, very happy.
Chen Qiuniang has been "oh" all her life, but she still doesn't believe that this thing is true, she always feels that Zhu Wenkang seems to die too easily.
"Oh, Danfeng, don't think so much. This man is dead. I'll let the kitchen do some food in a moment, and tonight we two will celebrate. Chen Wenzheng's unconcealed joy floated in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and the whole person paced back and forth, unable to calm down.
Chen Qiuniang shook her head, waved her hand and said, "Not for the time being." β
"What? Do you still suspect he's not dead? Chen Wenzheng also saw the clue and couldn't help asking.
Chen Qiuniang nodded and said, "You also said that the Zhu family is not simple. Behind it may be the support of the imperial court, the purpose of which is to monitor the Zhang Mansion and deal with the Zhang Mansion if necessary. β
"yes, what does that have to do with his death?" Chen Wenzheng asked suspiciously, and then as if he thought of something, Shicai's joyful expression suddenly receded, and his brows furrowed suddenly.
Chen Qiuniang sighed, sat down at the table, fiddled with the light of the oil lamp, and said slowly: "Since the Zhu family is a dark pile painstakingly operated by the imperial court, there is absolutely no reason for a silver-like pewter spear head. The strength of this Zhang Mansion can be watched even by us outsiders. Big brother, if you are the emperor, how will you treat the Zhang Mansion? β
"If I were the emperorβ" Chen Wenzheng thought for a moment before looking at Chen Qiuniang and replied, "Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, and it is time to fight from east to west." The people of Zhangfu have been in the army for generations, they are all pillars, and they have their own way of training elite troops. In the current form, if I am the emperor, I will naturally not tear my face. Not only can you not tear your face, but you have to reuse it on the bright side. On the one hand, this reuse is to appease the Zhang family, and on the other hand, it is to make a gesture for other generals. But the words insideβ"
Chen Wenzheng shook his head when he said this, and said with a sigh: "If you say it inside, you may wish to get rid of it as soon as possible." The authority of the emperor, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers? Even if it is a possible threat, the emperor will not keep it. Besides, the amount of energy in this person today is not too great. It depends on the things he did to his subordinates after he ascended the throne. Therefore, he should be very jealous of the Zhang family, for fear that the Zhang family will become bigger. Therefore, even if it is the ancestral house of the Zhang family, it must be under his supervision. He must ensure that if the Zhang family is disturbed, his forces can annihilate the Zhang family in one fell swoop. β
"What the eldest brother said is very true, and I also heard rumors in the market that not long after the yellow robe was added, he made some kind of wine to release the military power. He is very afraid that the generals will become bigger, and one day they will seize his country just like he captured the Chai family. So, according to his character, according to the analysis of the eldest brother. This Zhu family is the secret stake of the imperial court. Then, Zhao Kuangyin must have sent a very powerful person to the Zhu family to confront the Zhang Mansion. Of course, it is still Zhu Wenkang on the surface, and the conspiracy behind the scenes should be the person sent by Zhao Kuangyin. Chen Qiuniang also expressed her opinion.
Chen Wenzheng had completely calmed down at this moment, and after listening to her words, he also nodded quite agreeably, and said, "There must be very powerful people in the Zhu Mansion, or Chai Yu's actions will also be calculated." If so, the dead could be a stand-in. β
"Yes, I felt a little wrong just now, and I felt that Zhu Wenkang seemed to have died too lightly. Now listening to the words of the eldest brother, I suddenly opened my mouth and understood the inside. Chen Qiuniang didn't say that she thought of it earlier, and only gave the credit to Chen Wenzheng.
Chen Wenzheng waved his hand and said, "I was overjoyed and didn't analyze it in detail. If you hadn't reminded me, what would have been the difference between me and the peddlers and pawns on the street? Still, Danfeng, I still hope this is true. β
"Hmm." Chen Qiuniang replied. Actually, it's true that she doesn't like it. Because if this incident is true, she can only be asked not to marry Zhu Wenkang, but her crisis has not been resolved. Not only that, but it may also be that because Zhu Wenkang is dead, there will be a series of changes in the people and things around him. Zhao Kuangyin will have new instructions, and the situation in the entire Liuhe Town will be broken. Then, what Chai Yu did today is the same as the role of the young man who assassinated Ferdinand and his wife in the famous Sarajevo incident.
"But you don't look too happy." Chen Wenzheng is a thoughtful person in the end, and he immediately saw that she was absent-minded.
"Controlling Yunlai Hotel, I'm afraid it's not Zhu Wenkang's own intention, but the court's intention. Now that Zhu Wenkang is dead, I'm afraid that there will be more powerful characters. So, in this sense, it is better for Zhu Wenkang to be alive than dead. Chen Qiuniang said slowly to Chen Wenzheng.
Chen Wenzheng's brows furrowed again, and the handsome boy looked like a little old man. He couldn't help but gasp and said, "When you say that, it's really mysterious." However, I used to think that the slave or the person of the court was seriously injured and unconscious, and now it must be a mess. β
"There is Jing Liang in Niannu, and now Jingliang is still detained in Zhufu, we don't know what the situation is in Niannu." Chen Qiuniang pointed out this fact.
Chen Wenzheng couldn't help but sigh and said, "You're right. Maybe Niannu has been planning for a long time. Moreover, there is more than one dark person in Bianjing who is placed here, but he is just a slave who is ostentatious. What's more, maybe there is more than one hidden pile in Zhufu. If I were the emperor, I would have to deploy all the things, and I couldn't put my hope in one place. β
"Well, you can't put your eggs in one basket, otherwise if you are a little out of luck, you will be beaten with eggs." Chen Qiuniang immediately made a summary, but she was also startled by what he said about more than one secret stake in Zhufu, and she suddenly felt cold sweat all over her body. For a long time, her thinking was accustomed to only one of the Zhu Mansion staring at Zhang Ci. But Chen Wenzheng, as an outsider, jumped out of the barrier of thinking, and from the emperor's point of view, he came to such a conclusion.
This conclusion, or Zhang Ci already knows. Or, Zhang Ci is also like her, with the limitations of thinking. It seems that it is necessary to see Zhang Ci again and talk about this situation.
"It's just that who can still be a dark pile in this Liuhe Town, it's hard to say. After all, I can't find a swagger like the Zhu family. Chen Wenzheng seemed to be interested in this matter at this time, and was analyzing it by himself.
Chen Qiuniang didn't have the heart to analyze this matter, she had to sort out Zhu Wenkang's matter.
"Danfeng, I said that this Zhang family doesn't know if they can suppress the other party, I'm really worried." Chen Wenzheng thought for a while, and his tone actually became anxious.
"Worried about what?" Chen Qiuniang looked up at him.
"Emotionally speaking, I'm on Zhang's side. Of course, I'm worried that the Zhang family is careless. Chen Wenzheng said.
"Big brother, don't worry. The Zhang family is a century-old family and has its own rules of survival. What we have to worry about now is how to deal with the Zhu Wenkang incident. Chen Qiuniang said.
Chen Wenzheng frowned and said, "I really hate mentioning him." I really wish that person was dead. β
"Big brother, don't worry, wait for me to go to Zhu's house to investigate." Chen Qiuniang stood up and walked towards the door of the secret room. Yes, she just decided to go to Zhu Mansion to find out, to see what happened to Zhu Wenkang, and if possible, to see how Jing Liang was.
Chen Wenzheng hurriedly followed with the lamp and walked out of the secret room together. Outside this secret room is the inner room of Chen Wenzheng's study, which is usually used to hide books, or a place to rest when tired of reading. The windows were ajar, and the brilliant daylight poured in, unrealistically bright.
Chen Qiuniang narrowed her eyes slightly, and when she got used to the light, she opened the folding fan and shook it, and said: "For this matter, I will use the identity of the second master of Yunlai Hotel to go, which is both decent and will not be embarrassed." β
"To condole? It doesn't seem right at this time. Chen Wenzheng said.
"He, Zhu Wenkang, used to spread rumors everywhere that he wanted to tie the knot with me. also said that I was originally a beautiful girl. Now, I will confirm his rumors and wear a girl's plain clothes to go to Zhufu. That's all right. Chen Qiuniang's eyes flashed wide, and her face was cunning.
Chen Wenzheng was stunned, and then said: "This, this is not proper, your reputation." β
"What a reputation is not a reputation. Do I think I care about that reputation? I just need to live comfortably. Chen Qiuniang said with a grin. Coming out of the dark secret room, she also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in the beautiful daylight, and at the same time, she also figured out one thing: if Zhu Wenkang died, he would die, and if the situation was chaotic, it would be chaotic, and some things were out of her own hands. But no matter what kind of powerful person he is, no matter what conspiracy he is, she will do her best to face it.
"If you want to marry someone in the future, it's always bad to have something to do with that person." Chen Wenzheng was like a real brother, and immediately mentioned this matter.
"Big brother, are you still afraid that you won't be able to marry someone like me? Besides, anyone I am willing to marry must be an extraordinary person. How could that extraordinary man care about such a trivial matter? Chen Qiuniang smiled and comforted, and then shouted through the window, "Xiaocui, Xiaocui, quickly prepare a set of plain clothes for me." β
That Xiaocui was sweeping in the main hall, and when she heard Chen Qiuniang's orders, she immediately responded. Chen Qiuniang shouted again: "Come back, come back, don't be in a hurry, you have to prepare women's clothes." β
That Xiaocui had never seen Chen Qiuniang wearing women's clothes, and she only knew that this cousin was very beautiful, more beautiful than a woman. But he didn't expect that now, he would wear women's clothes. She was stunned under the eaves of the porch, with a round face and a stupid expression. R1152
