Chapter 158: The Salt Merchant's Cheese Was Moved
Thousands of people sat back in the sedan chair, and the unpleasant smell of rouge suddenly disappeared by half.
Tian Zhenshu hated such people very much, and when she saw the sedan chair gone, she turned to Zhou Zhengdao: "Are you okay?" ”
Although he didn't know what was behind Zhou Zheng, he roughly guessed something from Wan Qianlin's words.
Zhou Zhengdao: "It's okay, I can still handle it." ”
Tian Zhenshu didn't ask much, who didn't have a secret. He glanced at the officials standing in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and said, "I have to take them back, you can find someone here to clean them up." ”
Zhou Zheng swept his gaze, approached him a little, and said in a low voice: "You will be fine here, right?" ”
The people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate caught the people of Shuntianfu in broad daylight, even if they took advantage of it, the faces of the adults above would not be good-looking, and if someone was more serious, it would be another wave.
Tian Zhenshu didn't care, and said: "It doesn't matter, it's an eventful time in the court, how can you pay attention to me." ”
Zhou Zheng and Tian Zhenshu were real friends in distress, so they didn't say much, and said, "Okay, please come to my house for a drink in a few days." ”
Tian Zhenshu agreed with a smile, and then led people away in a hurry.
Zhou Zheng looked at the backs of Tian Zhenshu and others, and said to Liu Liuzhen: "Let people clean up, and the sales will start normally tomorrow." ”
Zhou Ji has gone through ups and downs, and Liu Liuzhen is also used to seeing big and small things, and said: "Okay." By the way, Second Young Master, you should reply quickly, master, the eldest young master has been waiting for a long time. ”
Zhou Zheng hummed, looked at the messy inside and outside of Zhou Ji's door, groaned, and said, "You notify Cheng Economy, come to Zhou Ji to see me tomorrow." ”
Liu Liuzhen answered, turned around and asked Zhou Ji's men to start cleaning up.
Zhouji is no longer produced, just a point of sale, although things are messy, but there are not many.
Zhou Zheng watched for a while and then left Zhou Ji and went home.
At this time, Fu Bo entered Zhou Qingli's study from the outside, and Zhou Qingli, who was reading, looked up violently.
Although he didn't speak, Zhou Qingli's every move, face, and eyes were all asking: Zhengyun is back?
Fu Bo looked at the book in Zhou Qingli's hand that hadn't moved a page for half a day, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, people have already returned to Beijing, and there will be no problem." ”
Zhou Qingli put down the book, took the teacup in his hand, and said before he drank it: "Let the kitchen make some food, I'm hungry too." ”
Fu Bo understood and said, "I have already asked the kitchen to make the second young master's favorite food, soon." ”
Zhou Qingli took a sip of tea and nodded.
Fu Bo saw that Zhou Qingli was still a little distracted, and said, "I'll go outside and wait." ”
Zhou Qingli didn't speak, and picked up the book casually.
It didn't take long for Fu Bo to come back happily and said, "Master, the second young master has entered the mansion." ”
Zhou Qingli immediately put down the book, stood up, and said, "Let's eat." ”
Fu Bo sighed, and hurriedly turned around to arrange.
Zhou Zheng returned home, did not rush to change clothes, and ate with Father Zhou, Zhou Fang, father and son in the back hall of Zhou's house.
Zhou Zheng knew that they were all worried, so he picked up some things along the way and told the two, naturally, he skipped some things that could not be said.
Zhou Qingli saw that Zhou Zheng came back intact, put her heart at ease, listened to Zhou Zheng's words one after another, put down the dishes and chopsticks, pondered for a while, and said: "Jianyu is bloodthirsty and belligerent, and Chahar's side can no longer restrain them, but I am afraid that it will not be long before they will make a comeback." ”
Zhou Zheng looked at Father Zhou with a slightly different expression.
Jianyu was defeated in Ningyuan last year, the old chief Nurhachi just died, and the new chieftain Huang Taiji was only a few months old, and the civil and military forces of the Ming and Manchu dynasties did not think that Jianyu would start a war again in a short time, and Father Zhou would actually think that Jianyu would come again in a short time?
Zhou Zheng couldn't help but take a few serious glances at Father Zhou.
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng with some surprise and said, "It's not strange, it's May or June as early as August and September." ”
Zhou Zheng has just returned to Beijing, except for Yuan Chonghuan in Liaodong, the high-level of the imperial court, outsiders still don't know the 'rumor' that Zhou is spreading in Shenyang, Zhou Qingli's judgment makes Zhou Zheng secretly surprised, and he can't help but re-recognize Zhou's father's vision.
"Hmph, it's not a pity that a dog thief like Fan Wenchen died, he should be scraped alive!" Zhou Fang suddenly said hatefully!
Zhou Fang just heard Fan Wenchen's words relayed by Zhou Zheng, how could such a shameless person still have the face to live in the world!
Zhou Qingli took a sip of tea and said: "It's useless to be angry, now that the situation is dim, Jianyu is used to winning people's hearts, and it will be indispensable in the future." ”
Zhou Zheng redefined Daddy Zhou's vision, and agreed with his words, saying: "Although there are many people who can die generously for righteousness, there are also many people who spare their lives for fame and fortune." ”
Zhou Fang snorted coldly and said: "Don't want the ancestors, don't be righteous, betray the country for glory, slaughter compatriots, what is the difference between such a person and a beast!" ”
Zhou Qingli didn't say anything more, and said to Zhou Zheng: "After you come back, what arrangements does the imperial court have?" ”
Zhou Qingli obviously didn't know that Huang Weihuai was involved in Feng Jiahui's case, and even Zhou Zheng, the deputy envoy, was unlucky.
Zhou Zheng didn't hide it and told the matter.
Zhou Qingli didn't speak yet, but Zhou Fang said indignantly: "I see that you have also resigned, the current court situation, where is there anyone who can do things, in addition to calculation, or calculation!" ”
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Fang and looked at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Qingli was worried about him, so he said: "On the other side of Zhejiang Road, Hu Qingzheng is the chief official, and his relationship with me is acceptable." ”
Zhou Zheng is probably not dismissed from office now, nor is he suspended, and he just can't go to work.
Zhou Qingli knew Zhou Zheng's situation, and said, "Then stay in the mansion more." ”
Zhou Zheng hummed and didn't say anything more.
The three fathers and sons of the Zhou family are all introverted and not good at words. After Zhou Qingli finished speaking, the three of them sat quietly for a while, and then ended the reception.
Zhou Zheng returned to the room and let out a long breath, he was tired enough to choke all the way, and he had dealt with so many things, he fell straight on the bed.
This is the place to give him a sense of security and real relaxation.
Zhou Zheng buried his face on the pillow, took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
At the same time, Wei Xizhuang, who had arrived in Huai'an Mansion, was in the inn at the moment, with an angry face.
There was a young man in his early thirties in front of him, he was sitting opposite Wei Xizhuang, he didn't care about Wei Xizhuang's anger at all, and said with a sneer: "Lord Wei, do you want to get a piece of the private salt pie, or do some adults in the court want to reshape the salt government?" Either way, I advise you to put your mind away! I don't talk about the capital and other places, just Huai'an Mansion, from the prefect's yamen to the guard, all the yamen up and down are eating this meal, not enough! If you meddle indiscriminately, under this canal, there are not a thousand but eight hundred corpses, not less than you! ”
Wei Xizhuang clenched his hands into fists, the anger on his face was irrepressible, and the embroidered spring knife in front of him shook slightly, as if it was about to be unsheathed!
He Qishou stood behind Wei Xizhuang, his expression was solemn, his eyes were worried, for fear that Wei Xizhuang would not be able to control his anger and do something irreparable.
Wei Xizhuang gritted his teeth, his face was blue and red.
Outside the house, ten brocade guards drew their swords and vigilantly confronted the dozens of strong men surrounding them in front of them!
These people have a ruthless face, they look like outlaws, they are holding knives in their hands, and it seems that they will rush up to the house as soon as there is movement, and kill everyone here!
Wei Xizhuang was very angry, he rarely faced such a person, in the capital, he followed someone to copy the house, occasionally interrogated, and the rest was almost smooth.
When did someone threaten him like this and sink him into the river!
He's the one who almost gets knighted!
Wei Xizhuang's eyes were murderous, he had never been so angry, he wanted to kill someone like this, looking at the embroidered spring knife in front of him, he really wanted to pull out the knife and slash the person in front of him!
This person looked at Wei Xizhuang's murderous intentions, he didn't care at all, glanced at his outlaws outside the inn, and sneered more and more: "Lord Wei, if you have nothing to do, go back to Beijing today, that is where you should stay, don't come to Huai'an Mansion in the future." I'm just the one who passed the word, don't blame me for not reminding you, miss today, those bandits on the road won't care who you are, Jinyiwei is not enough for them to stuff their teeth! ”
Wei Xizhuang's teeth are about to be crushed, these people are too rampant! It's so rampant! Rampant boundless!
He Qishou's face was also quite ugly, he didn't expect that these salt merchants were so vicious, and there was no trace of royal law in their eyes!
He Qishou looked at Wei Xizhuang and became even more worried, now there are bandits everywhere in the country, if these really kill Wei Xizhuang and push it on those bandits, the imperial court has no other way than to order a strict investigation!
The man glanced at He Qishou, stood up, patted his clothes, and left calmly.
He left the inn, and the thugs backed away and soon followed him.
Bang!
In the room, Wei Xizhuang overturned the table, kicked and kicked wildly, and roared angrily: "I shouldn't have listened to Zhou Zhengyun, these people are not too many to kill a hundred times!" I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them all! Not a single one to stay! Leave none behind! ”
He Qishou looked at Wei Xizhuang venting and didn't stop it.
Salt merchants made their fortune on private salt, and they were able to completely encroach on the salt politics of the Ming Dynasty, so you can imagine how huge their power is, not to mention the seizure of a few of their ships, even if they touch a little, the counterattack is not something that ordinary people can bear.
That is, Wei Xizhuang, with the light of Wei Zhongxian, ordinary people, have long been sunk in the river!
After venting for a while, Wei Xizhuang sat on the ground panting, sweating profusely, and the anger on his face could not be eliminated.
He Qishou knew that Wei Xizhuang didn't know much about the mixing of local forces, so he waited for a while before stepping forward and said, "Dongjia, let's find a way to deal with it now." They have outlaws in their hands, and those bandits are inextricably linked to them, and they may really kill us. ”
Wei Xizhuang's face was gloomy, and he said, "Then what do you say?" Release? Did you flee back to the capital? ”
Wei Xizhuang only went south, he followed Jinyiwei to investigate the Caoyun corruption case, he found out that the ship with Caoyun was used to smuggle smuggled salt, just detained two ships, all kinds of people began to come to the door, and even the commander in charge of the inspection Zhao Suijin also received benefits, asking him to release people and ships!
After he refused, there was the scene just now.
