Chapter 109
Shopkeeper Liu's body gradually improved, and Liu An also took the time to come back from time to time, seeing that Shopkeeper Liu's body slowly improved, Zhu Yidao also felt very happy in his heart, after all, no matter how good the business of the old store was, it was not as important as Shopkeeper Liu's body. Until one day, Liu An ran over covered in blood, saying that the old store was suddenly attacked by unknown people, and he desperately escaped, but the old store was destroyed by those people......
Shopkeeper Liu, who has always been an ancient well, was stunned for a long time, and spit out a mouthful of blood when he looked up to the sky. Seeing this, Lao Zhu hurriedly beckoned the doctor to come over and help him, Liu An ignored his injuries, knelt hard in front of the shopkeeper Liu's couch, and kowtowed while crying: "The shopkeeper's ...... It's all small and bad, and I didn't keep the old store...... If you want to beat or scold, it's all the villain's ......" Shopkeeper Liu shook his head gently: "If you should come, you will come after all...... As long as the person is okay, the person is okay! Liu An cried even more.
"Don't cry! What's the use of crying?! As long as the people are still there, we can still make another Shunhe old store! Zhu Yidao suddenly felt extremely irritable, so many things had happened these days, which made him feel a little overwhelmed. Wasn't it safe and sound before? It's not because of some commercial means, so that during this period of time, it is either these things or those things. With so many broken things stacked on top of each other, the old store can't be opened? Is the business still going to work?
"The old store of Shunhe has been around for decades, and if it's gone, it's gone...... To be able to do this far, the old store is already very good, and nothing is eternal. Even dynasties and emperors can be replaced, let alone a small Shunhe old shop? Shopkeeper Liu's voice suddenly became extremely vicissitudes, "I followed the owner at the age of sixteen, and I have been with the old store since that time, until now." There have been so many ups and downs, and I have seen too much, and I have seen it lightly...... Liu An: How many years have you been with me? It's been six years? Young Master Zhu has only been here for a few months. I've never told you who the owner of this old shop is, and now that the old store is gone, it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”
It turned out that this old Shunhe store turned out to be a shop opened by the father of Zheng Guifei in the palace!
Naturally, the shopkeeper Liu is not surnamed Liu, but surnamed Zheng, called Zheng Jun, who was the personal soldier of Zheng Guifei's father Zheng Chengxian. Zheng Chengxian became a local official with real power. However, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good and bad luck. As soon as he sent his daughter to the palace, Zhang Juzheng died. Zheng Chengxian is Zhang Juzheng's right-hand man, Zhang Juzheng once proudly said that he had Tan in the palace and Zheng Chengxian in the place. That is what this sentence made him miserable.
As soon as Zhang Juzheng died, the rest of the Zhang Party also fell apart, but he offended too many people back then, so that all the people in the Zhang Party were not just as simple as cutting officials and removing their posts, and most of them ended up extremely miserable. Zheng Chengxian is naturally no exception, but in order not to affect his daughter who has just entered the palace, and in order to keep the last bloodline of the Zheng family, he made an unbelievable choice: overnight, the Zheng family hanged themselves. The world is extremely puzzled, why do such an extreme thing? In fact, only in this way can the enemy stop the persecution of the Zheng family. Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, since everyone is dead, then don't pursue him anymore! What's the point?
Concubine Zheng herself was indeed angry, she was soon favored by Wanli, and slowly gained a foothold in the harem. Especially after being named a concubine, her status is second only to the queen, and Wanli's love for her is getting deeper and deeper. It's not that the queen is incapable of solving such a figure who grabs the emperor's favor with her, but that the queen has no fertility at all! If it weren't for the emperor's face, I'm afraid that such a queen who couldn't have children would have been abolished a long time ago. Whether it is ethical or otherwise, the queen is not qualified to compete with anyone for the emperor's favor. So Zheng Guifei's biggest hidden danger is gone. However, she always remembered the hatred of her family who was forced to commit suicide, and slowly began to covet status and power.
Zheng Chengxian did not die, but quietly hid in the people, and was in Jingshi. The most dangerous place is often the safest place, and under the noses of countless political opponents, it is undoubtedly the safest. Zheng Chengxian was also ruthless, and he didn't let everyone tell his daughter that he was still alive. In order to survive, he set up this Shunhe old store, the reason why he only sells some sundries, because these sundries are very scattered, all over the Ming Dynasty, while purchasing goods, you can also understand the situation in other parts of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent, in case there is a change in Beijing, you can quickly evacuate.
I have to admit that this trick is very effective, and the rest of the Zheng family are gradually staying away from Jingshi, especially after Zheng Chengxian died of illness. This Shunhe old shop is the inheritance that Zheng Chengxian finally handed over to Zheng Jun, and it is the only proof that the Zheng family is still alive, and it must be handed over to a person he can trust.
When the Zheng family fled at that time, there were only a dozen people with their personal soldiers and housekeepers, but Zheng Chengxian's most trusted was this personal soldier Zheng Jun, who was stable and reliable, had a strict mouth, had experienced a lot of ups and downs, and had a lot of ideas in his heart. What's more, the Zheng family's pro-mobile phone visiting xom relatives have already begun to secretly compete for the Zheng family's property. Disappointed and sad, Zheng Chengxian fell ill, and some time before he died, he instructed Zheng Jun to find a way to get rid of these scum of the Zheng family! The Zheng family can die, but they can't die in the hands of these people!
The taciturn Zheng Jun did not hesitate to skillfully kill these relatives quietly, which made Zheng Chengxian very satisfied! He would rather give his family property to such a personal soldier than to those relatives who only care about his family property. In this way, after Zheng Chengxian died, Zheng Jun took over such a small but proved that the Zheng family had not fallen to the old Shunhe store. Everyone thought that this old shop was just opened by someone from other places a long time ago, but almost no one believed that it recorded the dark history of Zhang Juzheng's death.
Zhu Yidao sighed. I'm afraid that Concubine Zheng didn't know that her father had done such a feat for herself, and he didn't let his daughter know about it incognito, just to ensure her safety. No wonder when Shopkeeper Zheng saw and noticed the child in his arms, there were such complicated feelings in his eyes. But that's fine, after all, it's not a matter to hide this secret forever, at least Shopkeeper Zheng has no regrets in his life!
The shopkeeper Zheng solemnly took out a wooden nameplate from his arms, engraved with "Zheng Jun's waist card of the Zheng Mansion's personal guards", and then tried his best to control the trembling and handed it to Zhu Yidao: "Take this!" Only it can prove that my old Zheng family is not dead! Won't die either! No matter whether I will live in the future or not, as long as it is in your hands, my old Zheng family will have the day to turn over! Zhu Yidao felt that this waist card was so heavy in a moment, it recorded loyalty, and recorded a father's love for his daughter as deep as the sea!
"How many people did they come? Can you see what they look like? Shopkeeper Zheng asked Liu An solemnly. Liu An wiped away his tears, suppressed his emotions, and recalled: "At that time, I had already closed the door of the store and was cleaning up items in the warehouse behind, when I suddenly heard the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground from the second floor, so I hurried upstairs to check. By this time three had already come in, all from the roof, and I heard the voices of three of them all very high-pitched, and before I could speak, one of them picked up the knife in his hand and slashed at me......"
"Do you remember what they were wearing?" Zhu Yidao's face suddenly darkened, and he remembered a possibility.
“…… He wore a round hat and wore a ...... It seems to be straight, and the feet are still wearing white leather boots! ”
Zhu Yidao suddenly felt a little cold in his neck. This is the fan of the East Factory, but when have you ever offended the East Factory? And why are they smashing Shun and the old store? Liu An said that he was frightened at the time, so he ran out and quickly ran to the street to shout for help. The neighbors around the neighborhood came out to take a look, but when they saw each other's clothes, they hurried home and closed the door tightly! Liu An couldn't do it, so he had to run away. He was originally from a running hall, and there was no way to pick up the group of runners. In this way, he didn't even dare to go home, and ran to the hospital in a fit of anger.
Lao Zhu's heart sank. Liu An's family is estimated to have been killed by Fanzi. This is almost certain, he has heard a lot about their style. If you want to say who has the worst reputation in Daming, there is no more than Dongchang. In the minds of the people, Jinyiwei is now slowly turning to the front, which is also what most officials are happy to see. But what do you have to do with Dongchang? At most, he had offended the eunuch Li Lianxiong who had offended the celebrant and the eunuch Li Lianxiong.
Shopkeeper Zheng stared at Zhu Yidao with burning eyes, he already knew something. Zhu Yidao was very confused, isn't the head of this Dongchang the second-in-command among the eunuchs of Bingbi? Could it be that he still listens to Li Lianxiong?
No, we have to go back and see! My own 54 hands of ammunition are still on the second floor! It's hard to say if they turn this thing out! As soon as Lao Zhu thought of this, he suddenly couldn't sit still: "I have to go back and take a look, you take Shopkeeper Zheng to Shuntian Mansion quickly, now only that is relatively safe!" We'll meet there! ”
Shopkeeper Zheng didn't speak, but Liu An was a little frightened. Let yourself take the shopkeeper Zheng away? What if the other party intercepts them halfway? Zhu Yidao knew what he was thinking, so he said, "Don't worry! They're just fans of the East Factory! I don't dare to mess around on the street, after all, the safety of Jingshi still depends on Zhu Xixiao's brocade guard! They dare to snatch Jinyiwei's job, do they think they have lived too long? When it came to Dongchang, Lao Zhu looked disdainful. Liu An suddenly realized, but the shopkeeper Zheng looked at Zhu Yidao and laughed: "I have long known that your Young Master Zhu is by no means an ordinary person.
