When Zhu Jing thought of his daughter's safety and was afraid for a while, and when he was thundering at home, Zhang Shou and Zhu Tingfang, who were in Cangzhou, also learned the news of Xiongwei's assassination. It's not because they are well-informed, but that the former male commander is quite good at being a person, and he specially ordered someone to rush to Cangzhou and send them a letter.

Obviously, people still remember the accident in Rongshui Village last year, so they sent someone to remind them - and at the same time to report that they were safe.

General Xiong said, please don't worry about his comfort. He had been prepared for a long time, and the Assassin was killed by his own soldiers before he could get close to him......" After a general account of the alleged assassination, the messenger continued, "After the incident, General Xiong sealed off the barracks, personally went down to reassure the soldiers, and encouraged them to report it, and it was not long before someone came to the informant. ”

Hearing the word whistleblower, Zhu Tingfang frowned, but Zhang Shou felt that this was the proper meaning. Just by virtue of the majesty of a chief general who parachuted down, his former position was not in line with the navy, even if he brought down some officers, it would be strange if he could suppress the scene, and if he didn't try to tear the hole in the ironclad camp, what else could he do?

Sure enough, the next moment, the messenger told the great storm that was now in the camp near the sea: "General Xiong took down two thousand households and three hundred households in one go, and obtained conclusive human and material evidence to prove that they were related to the camp roar. When he came out of his humble position, General Xiong had already ordered people to prepare a car to send these five prisoners to Beijing. ”

Well, it turns out that whether these people have participated in the murder of Confucius scholars in the first place, Xiongwei was not prepared to try it himself, but prepared a threshold car to send it to the capital, according to the messenger, at this moment in Cangzhou, the threshold car may have already walked halfway to the capital!

And Zhu Tingfang indifferently sent the messenger, and as soon as the people went out, he immediately changed his face: "It's not that the entire Beizhili has already pulled the net to investigate, how can there be any fish that slip through the net, how can people still be mixed up in front of the master of the Linhai camp hall to assassinate?" Is the entire Linhai camp really rotten to the root and completely hopeless, or is it majestic and incompetent? ”

Seeing that Brother Zhu, who had always been calm and calm, was about to explode, and seeing that Zhu Yi and the others around the circle had quietly retreated, even Ah Liu left him and slipped away unjustly, Zhang Shou could only say helplessly: "Brother Zhu, you first dissipate your anger and calm down......"

Before he could finish his words, he was immediately stabbed in the eye. Knowing what was going on, he had no choice but to say sincerely: "Yingying's sudden return to Beijing was a spur of the moment, not to mention outsiders, even we ourselves didn't know in advance, so even if some fish that slipped through the net wanted to ambush her, it would be impossible." Of course, I hope you don't worry, the most important thing is another reason. ”

Zhang Shou paused, and then said patiently: "Don't you think that the Linhai camp even sent the car directly to the capital, and the action is too fast?" The assassination may not be fake, but it is not so much that General Xiong accidentally put people in front of him, but that he deliberately made people think that there was an opportunity to assassinate, and then used the topic to play and catch them all. ”

He thought about it, and finally omitted a sentence - such blatant fishing, to say that Xiongwei is not to be angry with some important people in the capital in advance, who believes it!

Zhu Tingfang frowned and groaned for a moment, and finally his face gradually relaxed, and his concern was chaotic, he just thought of Zhu Ying rushing back to Beijing, and he was a little confused, but he forgot to think carefully about the joints behind this matter. However, seeing that Zhang Shou could still analyze it carefully, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

At that moment, he said stiffly: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Shou nodded kindly, and then said, "I asked Ah Liu to return to Beijing day and night, and I must tell him to come back when he sees Yingying in good spirits." ”

Hearing that Zhang Shou was willing to send out Ah Liu, Zhu Tingfang's little dissatisfaction just now immediately disappeared, and was replaced by an even more dissatisfied obstruction: "There is such a useful person around you, who else can you use if you send him out?" Or I'll find someone to go back to Beijing, and it's good to explore along the way! "If it's really not that dangerous, I'll send back the silk you bought for Zhu Ying by the way......

"Since it's been an eventful time recently, Master Ge, you can also stop him, don't let him run out casually, and so do you!"

Zhang Shou had already seen through the other side hidden under the cold and hard (tsundere) appearance of his future uncle, so he naturally agreed with a smile. As for Ge Yong, after going to see the Cangzhou Iron Lion but was disappointed, people began not to go out, and they were on the par with the analytic geometry.

Seeing that this matter had been agreed, he was about to leave under the pretext, but he didn't want Zhu Tingfang to suddenly stop him, and hesitated for a moment before asking: "How sure are you about the matter of Cangzhou Port, from money and food to manpower?" ”

Zhang Shou suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. How did he answer that? If he said that he was not sure at all, would he be beaten to death by Zhu Tingfang? However, this matter has nothing to do with him at all, he was in front of Ge Yong before, but it was because Ge Yong asked, so he took the trouble to analyze the feasibility from all aspects, why did he rely on him?

He thought about it, and then he avoided the important and said lightly: "Brother Zhu should ask Commander Du about this, right?" ”

"Du Heng is a sailor, and now he has arrived at the Ruiqi camp, although it is a grace, but for him, it is like a seabird breaking its wings, and a sea fish coming out of the water, which cannot last long, and he is naturally very interested in moving the town of Cangzhou. Moreover, the Linhai camp has too many shortcomings, so he is actually very willing to let him train a naval army again. However, he only knew how to train troops and boats, and so on, and he didn't understand anything else. ”

Zhu Tingfang looked at Zhang Shou calmly and said bluntly: "And I am better at military strategy, although the political strategy is still acceptable, but for the people's livelihood, because I have had little contact since childhood, it is impossible to cover everything." Since Mrs. Ge said that you have ideas, then, I hope you ...... Do me a favor. ”

When the three words of help were spoken, Zhu Tingfang's heart finally opened up. Admitting that the future brother-in-law is competent is not difficult for him; But admitting that his future brother-in-law is better than himself in some areas other than arithmetic is difficult for him to always strive to excel in all aspects; And admit that he still needs the help of his future brother-in-law in some places, otherwise he will not be able to start, and it will be even more difficult!

But since he has to do things and specialize in the art industry, he doesn't plan to do it all by himself, and when the time comes, he will run into walls everywhere.

"I didn't mention it to you about the relocation of Linhai Daying before, because this is just the idea that the emperor talked to me, in fact, it was not limited to Cangzhou at first, but a place on the eastern coast near Gyeonggi. But there is a premise, you can't go out of the north and go straight to the north. Therefore, you can only choose between Yongping and Hejian Mansions. As for Lutai in Shuntianfu, it is too close to Tianjin to be considered. ”

Zhu Tingfang took out a notebook from his arms as he spoke, and handed it directly to Zhang Shou: "This is a copy of my several songs, you might as well take a look at it first." ”

That's really ...... Can't escape?

Zhang Shou sighed in his heart, however, it was rare for the future eldest brother to ask for help with such a good attitude, and he finally took it, but said very cautiously: "I just said it casually in front of the teacher before, how is the actual operation, I can't pack the ticket, I have to go back and think about it." ”

"If you say yes, then it means that I have seen the wrong person!" Zhu Tingfang finally smiled slightly, and then said lightly, "Now that these cases have basically been tried, those corrupt petty officials and servants, I have already reported the closing verdict together with my killing of Xu Cheng, and when there is an echo from the court, I will dispose of it with Xian Yunhe and them, and it will not be tried." ”

Zhang Shou replied very briskly this time: "This is your right and responsibility, and I have nothing to do." ”

When he left with his head bowed, when he arrived at the door, he heard Zhu Tingfang's voice behind him: "Han Changli Gong once said that people are not born to know, who can be confused. Although you are a disciple of Old Master Ge, you are self-taught in a small village. Although there are geniuses in this world, such as the one in Wang Jinggong's "Hurt Zhongyong", I know that you are different. ”

"I don't care who you are learning from, as long as you are sincere to Yingying, as long as you can fulfill your duties and duties to the court, then I will treat you as my own family. Even if someone is looking for all kinds of excuses to attack you, you don't have to worry! ”

"Then thank you Brother Zhu!"

Zhang Shou smiled, and then turned sideways slightly and smiled as a salute. When he went out, thinking that Zhu Tingfang was born to know, so he guessed that he had another teacher, so he could only sigh secretly. Young age, low experience, and country background – these three things come together in him, and even if he doesn't want to be particularly high-profile, he will still attract attention when he does something unexpected and successful.

Since people think that he has a false teacher, then let people think so!

For two days in a row, the little peanut was spinning at both ends, and he lacked skills. On the one hand, Jiang Dashao, with a little flattery and a little fear, asked him to contact a few easy-to-talk spinners and small machine owners to discuss workshop cooperation; On the one hand, Zhu Er chased after him with a smile on his face, asking him to introduce a few cotton farmers, or to ask about cotton planting, and people even did not hesitate to go to the cotton field to ask shamelessly.

The two eldest young masters, who usually didn't bother to talk about industrial and agricultural affairs at all, were suddenly so diligent, he was not used to it, and when all the martial arts halls in Cangzhou City began to clean up those prodigal children, and when they were caught, they beat them up and locked them up first, and the security and atmosphere in the entire Cangzhou City were greatly improved, but he was not used to running forward and walking without encountering troublemakers or pretenders.

However, because there were many elite children of various martial arts sects among the patrolling Zhuangban errands, he no longer had to worry about encountering black bricks and flying sticks when he walked at night, which was an unexpected joy. You must know that although his uncle and Uncle Yunhe are all good martial arts people, he has not been endowed with good martial arts since he was a child and cannot practice martial arts, so he has been obsessed with it for a long time.

That night, when Little Peanut finally took the time to return to the shop in the water market street, he found that when all the places were closed, the one who moved the door panel and planned to close it turned out to be a little monk. Recognizing that it was the little monk Guantao who had returned from Malu Mountain with Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then glared at the other party and asked, "You haven't gone back yet?" ”

The little monk Guantao was slightly stunned, and then said honestly: "Lao Tanyue won't let me go back." ”

"Who is Tan Yue?" Little Peanut's face was full of confusion, "How can he manage whether you can go back or not?" ”

"Tell you kid to read two more books, even Tan Yue doesn't know where this book has gone!"

When the old salted fish heard the sound, he stretched out his foot and kicked directly at the little peanut, and when he saw that the person was agile and dodged, he scolded angrily: "Tan Yue is the saying of the Buddhist temple, that is, the meaning of the donor, I don't even understand this, don't say that I raised you when you go out!" There are a bunch of monks in the lower courtyard of Zanghai, but they have raised Guantao, an outlier who understands scriptures, and I don't know how your Uncle Zanghai taught him. ”

Little Peanut glanced at the stupid Guantao with some hostility, and then muttered in a low voice: "If he likes to chant scriptures, he should go to Wanghai Temple, what are you doing in Cangzhou?" ”

"Because this kid has been farming since he was a child, unlike me who is just a fake trick." The old salted fish was not afraid to tell his own details, he touched Guantao's smooth head with a smile, and then said, "Besides, this kid is very much loved by Miss Zhu, and he also ordered him to take him to the capital in the future to find an order for the ancient temple built by the family, of course I want to keep him!" ”

Little Peanut's face suddenly became even worse. When he thought that after he followed Xian Yunhe to live a life, Lao Xianyu had always been troublesome with children, so he repeatedly refused the suggestion of marrying a daughter-in-law or adopting a child of the same clan, but now he actually kept such a little monk by his side, he had a sense of crisis.

But before he could understand the feeling of jealousy for the first time in his life, he was directly carried in by the old salted fish: "As soon as you come, you will have trouble with other people's Guantao, and you kid will not have the consciousness of being a brother when you are old!" Dr. Zhang happened to be here, and asked you about your whereabouts, you should go and see him, don't talk here. ”

Little Peanut was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed the old salted fish inside. Passing through the shop in front of him with a strong smell of salted fish, when he arrived at the back yard, he saw Ah Liu sitting on the wall beside him as if bored, while Zhang Shou was standing in the courtyard, with his left hand behind him, and his right index finger and thumb seemed to be holding something, looking at the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, dressed in green clothes and wearing a scarf, he looked elegant and refined, and Little Peanut even felt that if a person took another book, it would be a fairy who wanted to return by the wind in the poem!

Just when he stared at the other party with some longing, he saw that Zhang Shou seemed to notice the movement, suddenly turned around, and then smiled at him: "Little peanut, you have worked hard these days." Are you done with things on both sides? ”

Only then did the little peanut see clearly that the thing Zhang Shou was holding in his hand was a cottonseed. Although this thing immediately lowered the style on Zhang Shou's body, he still quickly put away his distracting thoughts and said respectfully: "I have already brought people to them, Young Master Jiang and Second Master Zhu have a good reputation these days, there should be no major conflict, and I will not be needed in the future." ”

Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile happily: "That's right, I still have some things to do next, although Ah Liu is capable, but if you want to talk about the head snake, you can't compare to you, you just follow me!" ”
