Chapter 111
Now Li Lianxiong couldn't sit still. Not only could he not catch any substantive handles, but also achieved his fame. What a loss I have made in this transaction! However, the emperor lived up to his wishes, Zhu Yidao relied on his unparalleled grace, and even the civil and military officials dared to offend! Now it's your chance!
But to everyone's surprise, Lao Zhu made such a fuss in the court, and the emperor didn't plan to do anything to him at all, but saw him tossing among the people, let alone remove his officials. Now it's not just the celebrant and the celebrant that everyone is speculating about what kind of identity this Zhu Yidao is, and he can get such trust from the emperor! So under such circumstances, Li Lianxiong did not dare to act rashly. After all, he is not the commander of Dongchang, if he lets the chief eunuch Li Jie listen to him, he doesn't know how much benefit he will have to give!
But Zhu Yidao worked in the old store of Shunhe, but Dongchang finally found an opportunity - this old store was opened by the widow of the Zheng family back then! In other words, the Zheng family did not die, but quietly hid! So what did it mean that his whole family committed suicide in the first place? This is a standard deception! What a great opportunity! So Li Lianxiong found Li Jie and promised him that the East Factory only needed to catch the owner and his friends of the old store, and the rest of the work, such as reporting to the emperor, would be done by Li Lianxiong, and guaranteed that Zheng Jiashun and several branches of the old store in Beijing would be handed over to him to take care of.
Li Jie reluctantly agreed to his request. After all, everyone works in the celebrant supervisor, and it is better to take care of each other if there is anything urgently needed. And there is no need to offend him Li Lianxiong because of this, maybe he will have to help him with something in the future; In addition, the Zheng family's property is also taken care of by themselves, which is a huge wealth, which is better than giving silver directly: isn't there another way to make money? It just so happens that there are still a lot of literate eunuchs in Dongchang, which are usually useless, but if they are allowed to take care of some industries, it is still relatively good!
So Li Jie, who had a good plan, sent four fans, a stall head, and a secretary. This secretary is not separated from Jinyiwei, it was cultivated by Li Jie himself, he was born in Xiucai, and he can read and write. The purpose is to calculate how many assets Shunhe old store has, so that it is convenient to receive it in the future, and by the way, take away some of them first. Who knew that if he killed Zhu Yidao halfway, not only did he not get anything, but he also lost six lives.
Listening to the intermittent description, Zhu Yidao had already come to a conclusion: This Li Jie was carried away by the assets of Shunhe's old store, and he actually promised Li Lianxiong to do such a thing, and he had not reported it to the celebrant for approval, which was an unauthorized action. If this matter is poked out, he Li Jie will immediately be disallowed by the other celebrants: Since you can use the public weapons of Dongchang to do private affairs, then don't blame us for being polite! It's not that these people are upright, the key is jealousy, why can you get such a big property?! In other words, this dumb loss to Li Jie is decided, but Lao Zhu has completely offended this great eunuch of Dongchang since then, and there is no room for turnaround. But it doesn't matter, as long as he can't catch his handle, Li Jie still doesn't dare to do anything to himself.
"Where are those bullets?" Lao Zhu suddenly remembered a crucial question. He was stunned for a long time, saying that he didn't know what bullet it was, and Zhu Yidao was also a little confused. This can't be blamed for being stupid, the key is that everyone thinks that cleaning up a merchant is not a very casual thing, and they don't take it seriously, including Li Jie himself; And this time I didn't just intend to threaten and threaten, and I didn't intend to kill people, after all, it was not too reliable to rely on the two eunuchs who could only read and write, and I still had to find a way to pull the original people to my side. The reason why these few people have stayed in the store until now is that they are attracted by the thousands of taels of silver left by the shopkeeper Zheng, and they are quarreling and planning to divide them privately. I didn't care about bullets or not.
Zhu Yidao let out a sigh of relief, it's good if he doesn't know! He fiercely pointed the gun at Fanzi again, and now he completely stopped eating. Lao Zhu hurriedly ran upstairs and found the small box containing bullets, and the remaining thousands of taels of silver could not be carried, so he could only stay in the store; It took a lot of effort to get the corpses of a few people into an abandoned well behind the house, and then he sat down to catch his breath.
It seems that Li Lianxiong still doesn't plan to let himself go, he originally thought that solving these few problems would make him retreat, but he didn't expect to offend the chief eunuch of Dongchang to death! What is this called? I've quit my job and won't let me go?! Zhu Yidao was very depressed and helpless! People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves!
He remembered that Shopkeeper Zheng and Liu An were still waiting in Shuntian Mansion, so he picked up the small box, brought another hundred and ten taels of silver, and walked towards Shuntian Mansion.
Chen Zhizhong of Shuntian Mansion was also wondering, didn't these plague gods leave, why did they come by themselves again? Isn't it because of the last time? Confused, he greeted the two of them well, and then heard Liu An say that Zhu Yidao would come to them soon, and his depressed heart couldn't help but tremble again. Anyway, he has already demoted the Wang inspector to prison as a jailer, and it can be regarded as giving him an explanation, so he shouldn't have done anything to himself, right?
So he specially sent someone to wait at the gate of the mansion, and when he saw the Jinyi Guard's brigade, when his good deeds came. But the official only saw Zhu Yidao coming nervously alone, and he didn't react for a while. Lao Zhu said angrily, Lao Tzu is here to find Chen Zhizhong! Get out of the way!
So Chen Zhizhong saw him neatly dressed, and Lao Zhu said to him: I will take them away and cause you trouble!
As soon as the government did it, he watched Zhu Yidao and the three of them leave quickly, you look at me, I look at you, Chen Zhizhong was a little puzzled, what is this Zhu Qianhu going to do?
Zhu Yidao has nowhere else to go. The old store can't go back, maybe soon Li Jie will find all kinds of excuses to come with a large team of people, going back is equivalent to looking for death, let's find a restaurant to live in first!
Liu An has vaguely known something now, and the shopkeeper Zheng has already told him that the noble person in his life is Zhu Yidao, if he wants to come out, then he has to serve Zhu Yidao! Otherwise, there will be no chance. Liu An nodded ignorantly, for him, Shopkeeper Zheng is the noble person in his life, without Shopkeeper Zheng, maybe he is still busy cooking in the small shop opened by his mother-in-law!
A few people found a restaurant and settled down for the time being. Zhu Yidao was silent for a long time, and said to Shopkeeper Zheng, now the Jingshi is very dangerous, they can't stay anymore, they have to leave the Jingshi! The affairs of the old store can no longer be managed, as long as the people are still there, the old store can open another one! As for where they went, he remembered Shen Yun who was far away in the northwest. When the original class teacher triumphed, Shen Yun took the initiative to ask to stay, and he and Ma Chao planned to do a career in the northwest, and only this kind of place could allow him to fully develop his ability. Wanli also agreed with Shen Yun's approach, in fact, Zhu Yidao already knew that Shen Yun had been loyal to Wanli for a long time, and he was a standard Jinyi guard field officer, specializing in border affairs, and placing him there could also ensure the stability of the frontier.
Is it appropriate to just let them go over now? Zhu Yidao thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to send them over, not only because it was too unsafe in Beijing, but more importantly, he was already planning to let go of his hands and feet and fight with the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and the ceremonial supervisor Dongchang! If Li Lianxiong is not removed, he will never have peace!
It's not something he can escape by hiding in the people. Escaping will not solve any problems, you can only make yourself more and more miserable, and finally taste the consequences that avoidance brings to you. Officialdom is a big dye vat, there are no pure people in it, and there are no absolute people, and if you are called brothers and sisters today, maybe tomorrow they will be able to betray you and abandon you without hesitation, so all you can do is keep going. Zhu Yidao didn't understand this truth until today, and he also completely understood that there are some things that can't be solved by resigning and not doing it yourself.
What is the reality? The reality is that when you are useless, you are likely to be killed by Wanli. He already knew too many things, how could he tolerate a useless person who knew so many things? Putting the third prince Zhu Changxun by Zhu Yidao's side is not a trust in him, but actually a restrain of him! I know everything you've done, don't try to escape my palm! Thinking of this, Zhu Yidao's sweat flowed down his cheeks, this move is high! Not generally high! Although Wanli does not go to court, he has all the people in his hands, he has learned the methods of the emperor's grandfather Jiajing, and he can already say to Zhang Juzheng that I have become a teacher!
What should I do now? Did you go back to Wanli and tell him that he had decided to go back to work? No, let's take it one step at a time! Send Shopkeeper Zheng and Liu An to Shen Yun first. Wanli wouldn't be unaware of his approach, but he certainly wouldn't object. The existence of Shopkeeper Zheng and Liu An can be said to be the bond of Zhu Yidao, as long as they are in a safe place, Lao Zhu will no longer be afraid to do things. And Dongchang Fanzi is not a vegetarian after all, he can't do it openly, but he is still quite good at it. Maybe when I will be solved by them.
Shopkeeper Zheng was noncommittal about this decision, in his opinion, since Young Master Zhu could come out of the hands of Dongchang Fanzi unharmed, then he must have a way to keep his name. Liu An had no idea, he didn't know what he should choose, he still had a wife and children.
"Come with me! Go to the northwest, let's open another Shunhe old store! Shopkeeper Zheng looked at Liu An with burning eyes. He struggled for a long time, and finally agreed to this decision.
