Chapter 250: Dengwen Drum
It's snowing.
The wind by the river is particularly strong, Zhen Niang wrapped a thick cloak from the bluestone wharf down, she just sent her father and mother on the boat, the people of Li's Mozhuang left Nanjing to return to Huizhou, but also marked the end of Li Mo's glory.
However, Li Mo finally left a strong mark in the glorious era of the Ming ink industry, and as a descendant of the Li family, it is enough.
At this time, there was a chill on the forehead, Zhen Niang couldn't help but reach out and touch it, it was a piece of broken snow, which was gradually melting, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart, no wonder I got up this morning, I felt extraordinarily cold, it turned out to be snowing.
While Xinghua hurriedly opened the oil-paper umbrella to block the falling snow, the two were about to get into the carriage, but they saw that in the tea shop opposite, a person was waving to the two.
"Grandma, it's Uncle Guo." Xinghua stepped forward and said to Zhen Niang. The lord of the country in her mouth is Li Fugui of Fuxian Pavilion, of course, now Li Fugui is no longer the shopkeeper of Fuxian Pavilion, but the king. However, this has always been low-key, and most of the time he still lives in the same simple way as when he was in Fuxian Pavilion, and his only hobby is drinking tea and listening to music.
Seeing that it was Uncle Guo, Zhenniang asked the coachman to wait on the side, and then took Xing'er into the tea shop on the opposite street and asked Li Fugui to say goodbye.
"Let's not pay attention to this, I called you over to tell you something, there is news in the capital, Feng Bao has fallen, do you know?" Li Fugui asked Zhenniang to sit down opposite, and then asked in a low voice.
Feng Bao fell, such news could not be hidden from Luo Wenqian, so two days after Feng Bao was involved, Luo Wenqian knew, and Zhen Niang also knew it. And in fact, it is also a historical fact that Zhenniang has known for a long time. So he nodded.
"Hmm. I think you should also know, but the news I received last night said that when Feng Bao's mansion was raided, a thick stack of bearer bills of exchange of Ziyi Housheng was found, totaling more than one million taels, and according to the people in Feng Bao's mansion, these silvers are likely to be bribes from Lord Zhang to Feng Bao through the Yi Housheng. "At this time. Li Fugui said in a low voice.
Today's cold day, he would not have gone out, but this news is fatal to Yi Housheng, it foresees that the imperial court may be going to fight against Yi Housheng, and he is not good at going to the Luo Mansion at this time, so he heard that the Li family was leaving Nanjing today, and knew that Li Zhenniang would definitely come to see him off, so he ate tea here, and he was really waiting for Li Zhenniang. Tell her the news to repay the life-saving grace on the ship that year.
And at this time. As soon as Li Zhenniang heard this, her face turned pale, she thought that Feng Bao's fall was just a sign, and it was still more than a year before Zhang Juzheng's accident, and Yi Housheng could slowly figure it out.
Have you ever thought that Feng Bao would actually pull this out? Righteousness and well-being are at stake!!!
"Master Li, Zhenniang won't accompany you much." Zhenniang immediately got up and said goodbye.
"Go ahead. Don't worry too much, even if something happens to Yi Housheng, Luo Jiu will not be okay for the time being, after all, the emperor has not yet reached the time to kill the Zhang family. Li Fugui waved his hand, his words had already been brought, and the next thing was to look at everyone's lives.
Zhen Niang nodded, and then walked briskly back to the carriage with the apricot blossoms.
"Quick, go to the Righteous Welfare Horn." As soon as Zhen Niang got into the carriage with the apricot blossoms, she said to the coachman.
The coachman called Li Zhenniang's urgent tone, and he also waved his whip vigorously, driving the horse straight towards Yi Housheng.
It was only when the carriage entered the official street, and I saw that the two sides of the official street were full of people, and there were even more good things running straight ahead. And there were so many people on the street that the carriage could not squeeze into it at all.
Zhen Niang asked the driver to stop the car, let Xinghua pay the fare, and she walked briskly with the flow of people by herself, asking people as she walked: "Do you know what's going on?" ”
"Ah, it's Luo Niangzi, it's amazing, it's someone from the government who came to seal righteousness." The man recognized Li Zhenniang and hurriedly replied.
It's broken, Zhenniang was secretly annoyed, but the news was still a step away.
Thinking about it, he pushed the people in front to run forward, and after a while, he arrived at the door of Yi Housheng Qian Zhuang, and sure enough, he saw a cadre of yacha and fishing fast in sealing the door, and there was also a team of flying fish suits, wearing embroidered spring knives of brocade guards guarding Qian Zhuang to do a lot of work, the front was Mo Boss, and the back was Gu Jiaozi and Yan Xilai.
"By the way, there is also a Luo Wenqian, isn't Luo Wenqian, the big boss of righteousness and good health?" At this time, a brocade guard asked with a calm face.
"Bah, what kind of boss is he, he fled to the north like a lost dog, I saved him, and I have given him wealth over the years, but it is only because he is familiar with Huizhou people here, so he let him support a façade, but he still disobeys me, so I rushed back to my hometown. This lord, a good man is a good man, what did I do wrong, my three brothers bear it, but no one can plant a trumped-up charge on us. Mo Lao shouted loudly, but his eyes were fixed on Li Zhenniang in the crowd.
Li Zhenniang glanced at him and nodded heavily, he understood what Boss Mo meant, since Luo Wenqian had withdrawn from Yi Housheng before this, then now Boss Mo and others have taken all the things of Yi Housheng and removed Luo Wenqian from it, and the next thing is planned by Luo Wenqian, are you dead or alive? Can Yi Housheng still hold on? It's all up to Luo Jiu.
Zhen Niang naturally understands that Yi Housheng was founded by Luo Wenqian, if you want to say that it is clear, it is impossible, Jin Yiwei and these people are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very good.
However, just like what Li Fugui comforted him before, the emperor has not yet reached the time to make a death move to Lord Zhang, and therefore, these people will not give a dead hand to Luo Wenqian for the time being, and the gang in the court and the central government at most want to pull out Zhang Juzheng's matter through Yi Housheng, and at the same time, they are also looking for an opportunity to carve up Yi Housheng.
And now, Luo Wenqian has withdrawn from Yihousheng, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and Brother Luo will be fine for the time being. Zhen Niang understands this.
And as Zhen Niang guessed, the brocade guard heard Boss Mo's words, snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything, Luo Wenqian's identity is more sensitive, and when he hasn't determined whether the emperor really wants to attack Lord Zhang, for the time being, he really doesn't want to move Luo Wenqian for fear that if the situation gets out of control, it will outweigh the losses.
At this time, a brocade guard had already taken the person away. The jujube red gate of Yoshihosheng was also sealed. Two brass rings dangled on the door. There is a gentle snapping sound. But it makes people's hearts feel cold.
Only a group of righteous little stewards and men were there, and they didn't know where to go.
The snow was falling heavily, and the big flowers were falling down.
"It's snowing heavily, everyone should go home first, don't talk nonsense or spread things, it's almost the New Year, it's good to be at home, rest assured. The wages owed to everyone will not be less, and they will be sent to the door before the end of the year. Zhen Niang stepped forward at this time and said, otherwise, Zhen Niang couldn't guarantee them anything for a while, after all, she knew the fate of many people, but she didn't know the end of herself and those related to her.
"Alas, what else does the proprietor say? Let's hurry up and sum up with the owner, we don't have anything. A few little stewards and fellows commanded, and then slowly dispersed.
Seeing the people disperse, Zhen Niang took people home. Back at home, Luo Wenqian was not there. Even Luo Ping'an and the others were nowhere to be seen, Zhenniang understood that Luo Wenqian must have brought someone to inquire about the situation.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for dinner, Luo Wenqian had not come back, Zhenniang had no taste to eat, and Brother Lin and Sister Yu also seemed to feel that something was going to happen at home, and they looked very well-behaved.
It's an ugly woman, her expression is calm, she has never experienced anything in this life, and she can do everything calmly.
At night, when Zhenniang sat in the house, only an oil lamp emitted a bean-like light, and there was a rustling sound outside, and the snow was still falling. Luo Wenqian hadn't come back yet, Zhenniang finally couldn't help it, put on a thick cloak, got out of the house, and walked to the door to wait. The snow hit his face, and it was cold.
Zhenniang couldn't help but shudder.
"Grandma, it's windy outside, you better go back to the house, I'll wait for the door here." Xinghua persuaded on the side.
"No, I'll go back to the house and sit there with an old heart, but standing here, I can be more down-to-earth, anyway, I wear a lot, and I don't feel cold when I walk around." Zhenniang replied. But he clutched the cloak tighter.
At that moment, there was a gentle neighing of horses in the distance, but the sound of horses' hooves was inaudible because of the snow on the ground.
Then the call of Luo Ping'an driving a carriage was heard in the distance.
"Grandma, it's the Ninth Master and the Ping'an Master who are back." Xinghua helped Zhenniang to step forward quickly, ignoring the snow falling from the world, but the two of them had to follow, but they only saw Luo Ping'an, and the carriage was empty, and there was no one.
"Brother Ping'an, what about Wen Qianren?" Zhen Niang asked hurriedly.
"The ninth brother went to the imperial mausoleum outside the city to see Gonggong Feng." Luo Ping'an said.
As soon as she heard Luo Ping'an's words, Zhen Niang's hand couldn't help but clench tightly: "Why did Brother Luo go to see Gonggong Feng at this time?" If this is known to others, wouldn't it be even more indescribable, Zhenniang couldn't help but feel anxious.
"It's okay, the ninth brother changed his clothes at the main body, and then quietly went out of the city, the ninth brother asked me to tell you, don't worry." Luo Ping'an said, and then explained: "Gonggong Feng's trip is not successful, this time it is because of the money orders in Gong Feng's hands, the ninth brother said that if you want to get rid of the crime, you must find out the source of these bills of exchange, but now I don't know who these bills of exchange are, so if you want to find out, you have to start from Gong Feng." ”
Zhenniang nodded, indicating that she understood. Although the bill of exchange is bearer, the remittance of Yi Housheng is also numbered, and the bottom root is stored in the bank, and the source can still be found. And with the source, then, the so-called rumor that Lord Zhang bribed Feng Bao with the hand of fake righteousness is untenable.
It's just that I slept in bed at night, but Zhen Niang's heart couldn't settle down, Brother Luo's current approach is based on common sense, it's terrible, I'm afraid, the court doesn't care about the source at all, it just needs a reason, a reason to carve up the righteousness and health number, and a reason to continue to investigate Lord Zhang.
So I couldn't sleep all night.
Early in the morning, Zhenniang got up, her eyes were still piercing, because she hadn't slept well all night, so she warmed it with warm water.
At this moment, Li Zhengshen hurriedly came in: "Zhenniang, Wen Qian beat the Dengwen drum!! ”
