Early the next morning, Zhou Zhenggang accompanied Zhou Qingli, and Zhou Fang was about to go out after breakfast, when someone came to the door.

In the small pavilion of Zhou's mansion, Zhou Zheng and Hu Qingzheng stared wide-eyed.

In the spring of March, the capital is still very cold, Hu Qingzheng is more bloated than before, looking fatter, but the corners of his face are a little scaby.

He looked at Zhou Zheng for a while, and said, "You resign." ”

Zhou Zheng blinked and said, "Passing a message to others?" ”

The relationship between Zhou Zheng and Hu Qingzheng is not bad, at least, Hu Qingzheng did not take Zhou Zheng's silver, and of course, he has done a lot of things.

Hu Qingzheng said: "No, there were many people who impeached you before, but early this morning, someone in the station began to investigate you again, and your class room was almost dug into the ground." ”

"It's so fast," Zhou Zheng muttered to himself, and then said, "Someone put pressure on you?" ”

Hu Qingzheng wanted to have a serious conversation with Zhou Zheng with his face, but he was not the kind of superior person, facing Zhou Zheng, the former gold owner, he couldn't help sighing, his face also collapsed, he lowered his head helplessly, and said: "Where is the need for others to exert pressure, the adults in the stage asked me to impeach Tai Kangbo." ”

Tai Kangbo, Zhang Guoji, the father of the Empress of the Apocalypse.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, looked at Hu Qingzheng and said, "You don't want to be impeached?" ”

Hu Qingzheng looked very helpless, looked up at Zhou Zheng, and said, "This matter involves Gong Yu, and whoever gets involved may not be able to please in the end." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, but as far as he knew, with the protection of the Apocalypse, Empress Zhang might be fine, but Tai Kangbo was still removed from the title and sent back to his hometown.

"Then quit." Zhou Zhengdao. For Hu Qingzheng, Zhou Zheng doesn't have so much bad feelings, although he is timid and evasive, but he has no bad intentions, in comparison, it is already good.

Hu Qingzheng's face moved, obviously reluctant.

After resigning, he is nothing, in his position, not to mention silver or anything, he always has face.

Zhou Zheng knew his thoughts, and said: "You are in this position, you can't hide from the rights and wrongs in the court, especially when it comes to the palace, no matter which side it is, it will not please you." This matter is clearly the eunuch party rushing to Queen Zhang, you either withdraw as soon as possible, or wait for bad luck. ”

Yanguan is very beautiful at this time, this scenery may start from the Jiajing Dynasty, or it may start from the Wanli Dynasty, in short, the major affairs of the court are in the influence of the Yanguan.

But in the end, the official is a small official, and he is at the mercy of the above or various relationships, and at the moment when friends are rampant, he must stand in a clear line, otherwise he will not be able to do it.

The eunuch party now dominates the court, who can disobey?

Hu Qingzheng was still reluctant, his fat face changed for a while, and he suddenly said in a low voice: "I heard that Jiangxi Province has been restrained, and I can't help you at will." Some people in the household department also have a lot of complaints about you, and some people say in the transcript that you colluded with Jianyu, you have to be careful of Huang Weihuai. ”

Zhou Zheng's expression changed, and his eyes were vigilant.

Collusion with Jianyu is a capital crime at this time, and no one can save it!

Huang Weihuai is the mastermind of the envoy Jianlu, and it is said that he has been imprisoned, if he adds some specious words to his confession, he may be judged to be evidence that Zhou Zheng 'colluded with Jianyu'!

Huang Weihuai has already been sent to prison, those people are absolutely capable of doing this!

Zhou Zheng didn't expect this to happen, frowning, his mind was like electricity.

Hu Qingzheng looked at him and said again: "You resign." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Hu Qingzheng and nodded slightly, understanding what he meant. His resignation is a way to prove that he did not collude with Jianjiao, and it is also a way out.

In the imperial court, such a play was staged in the capital, and not long ago, there were top high-ranking officials such as Gu Bingqian and Feng Jiahui.

Hu Qingzheng saw Zhou Zheng nodding, his little eyes opened, and he said in surprise: "You agreed?" ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, shook his head and said, "No, you resign, I won't resign." ”

There are many things that people can do in them, and if Zhou Zheng resigns, he will be left to some people to knead.

Hu Qingzheng looked dissatisfied and said, "Then you can find a way for me, otherwise I will come to your house every day." ”

Zhou Zheng laughed, this Hu Qingzheng is still playing a scoundrel.

Immediately, Zhou Zheng's expression was silent, and after a moment, he said: "Zhang Guoji has no power and no power, and Empress Zhang is also wronged in the palace, you are not a eunuch, there is no obstacle between the two sides, except for resigning, you can only pretend to be sick." ”

Pretending to be sick is a big routine in officialdom, when encountering something, first pretend to be sick and hide at home for a while, observe the direction of the wind, and then make a decision.

This is a trick that has been tried and tested by countless people for a long time.

Hu Qingzheng's eyes lit up and said, "This is a good way!" Then me, when will it be installed? ”

Pretending to be sick is also skillful, and if one is not good, it may really make you sick and never come back.

Zhou Zheng calculated the time and said, "Zhang Guoji can't resist for long, half a month at most." ”

Hu Qingzheng suddenly nodded with a relaxed face and said, "Okay, I'll pretend to be sick when I go back." By the way, I have already asked Yao Tongshun to empty your class room, and they can't find anything, don't worry. ”

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "Don't be in a hurry to dress, my shops must be in trouble today, Tian Yushi can't help over there, you have to take care of me, right?" ”

Hu Qingzheng is now the chief official of Zhejiang Province, and there are people behind him, plus he is an old slippery person, so he must have a way to do things better than Tian Zhenshu.

Hu Qingzheng looked at Zhou Zheng, his eyes brightened, and said, "Or the old price?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "Including Zhou Ji, six shops, if you are safe and secure today, fifty taels." ”

Hu Qingzheng kept his body up, nodded heavily, and said, "Don't worry, I'll go back to patrol the streets and make sure you're okay!" ”

Zhou Zheng hummed, looked at Hu Qingzheng, and said, "My position, there is still nothing to say above?" ”

Hu Qingzheng's expression seemed to be hesitant, he wrinkled his fat face, and said: "It's a little strange, there are people above who want you to be reinstated, and even someone proposed that you be the chief official of Zhejiang Province before, but then you were suppressed." The people below made a lot of noise, but the people at the top didn't speak. ”

Not speaking, in fact, is an attitude. When there is a strong opposition from below to a person and a person from above, it means that it is opposed, or at least not supported.

This attitude made Zhou Zheng puzzled.

However, in general, it is still good for Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "You help me keep an eye on it and take care of Yao Tongshun." ”

Hu Qingzheng said without hesitation: "Okay, add money!" ”

Zhou Zheng gave him a roll of his eyes, got up and said, "Don't send it." ”

Hu Qingzheng pursed his lips, and his face was a little unfinished.

As a result, Hu Qingzheng had not left yet, and someone came to the door again, this time it was someone from the military department, and he came up very directly, asking Zhou Zheng to write down everything in Shenyang, nominally involving the 'Huang Weihuai corruption case'.

This reason is impeccable, and Zhou Zheng can only respond.

Zhou Zheng just sent this person away, and someone from Dali Temple came to the door, claiming to be investigating an unjust case in Huzhou Mansion, and asked Zhou Zheng to go to Dali Temple to help overturn the case.

Dali Temple asked Zhou Zheng to go to Dali Temple to assist in the investigation, as if asking Zhou Zheng to take the initiative to admit the 'crime of complicity'.

Zhou Zheng refused without hesitation, and directly pushed it back on the grounds that 'if you want to overturn the case, you must supervise the imperial history to follow Huzhou and inspect it in detail'.

Zhou Zheng knew that if he stayed in the mansion any longer, he didn't know how much trouble there was, so he directly asked people to close the door, he went out of the back door, took Liu Liuzhe, and came to Jiujiang Pavilion.

Zhou Zheng stood beside a half-hundred-year-old man with a wrinkled face and dust, he stood in front of Zhou Zheng, looked at the three-story building of Jiujiang Pavilion in front of him, and said hesitantly: "Zhou Gongzi, it's not impossible according to what you said, it's just quite expensive, and it's not big enough, it's best to buy the two courtyards on the left and right, and then extend it a little back, so as to achieve what you want." ”

Zhou Zheng was very attentive to Jiujiang Pavilion, and listened to his words and thought about it.

Yesterday they discussed it at the Zhouji Shop, and now it's a field trip.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Zheng glanced at the buildings on both sides, one was a restaurant, the other was a silk village, and the business didn't seem to be very good.

Zhou Zheng looked at Liu Liuzhen and said, "Liuzhe, you ask someone to see if they are willing to sell, it doesn't matter if the price is higher." ”

This is a remote place, and the two families combined, I'm afraid it's about a hundred taels.

Liu Liuzhen hurriedly agreed and said, "Okay, I'll find a tooth later." ”

Zhou Zheng turned to the old craftsman again and said: "Master Liu, I will give you enough silver, but you have to do a good job of quality for me, if you are shoddy, cut corners and be found out by me or something happens in the future, you know my identity." ”

Master Liu suddenly smiled and said, "I know, don't worry, Gongzi Zhou, you can rest assured that I Liu Zhengshan will do things, if there is a little problem at that time, you will arrest me and go to jail!" ”

Zhou Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "I trust Master Liu, you prepare the materials first, and when the courtyards on both sides are negotiated, we will start construction!" ”

Liu Zhengshan has already received Zhou Zheng's early forty taels of silver, such a generous customer is rare, and he smiled in his folds, and said: "Zhou Gongzi rest assured, we will start today and promise to do a good job for Zhou Gongzi on time!" ”

Zhou Zheng laughed, looked up at this small building, secretly looked forward to it, and raised his feet to walk inside.

Liu Liuzhen suddenly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Second Young Master, someone is staring at us. ”

Zhou Zheng turned his head to look, and a human head in the corner of the wall not far away quickly shrank back.

It's very dangerous now, Zhou Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Did everyone bring it?" ”

Liu Liuzhen said in a low voice: "They are not far away, ten people." ”

In the capital, there is no official involvement, and in broad daylight, ten people should be safe enough.

"Regardless of him, we do ours." Zhou Zhengdao walked into the small building in front of him.

On the other side, Yang Qishao returned to the inn from the outside with a gloomy face, looked at He Qihui who was coming, became more and more gloomy, and sneered directly: "Zhou Zhengyun thought it would be okay to hide?" If he doesn't show up again, you will arrest him directly, and those evidences are enough to keep him in prison for ten years! ”

Not to mention that the concocted evidence can be pierced at once, just say that it is necessary to arrest the supervision of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, where is the qualification of the Criminal Department, and it is not Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Will He Qi touch Yang Qishao's brows and say, "I've already asked people to stare at him, what news is there from Qishao?" ”

Yang Qishao stood in the main hall of the inn, sneered gloomily, and said, "They are playing tricks one by one, thinking that they can hide from it in this way, it's ridiculous!" By the way, did my people find it? ”

He Qihui's expression changed slightly, bowed his head slightly, and said, "They have transferred, and my people are still looking for them." ”

"Rubbish!"

Yang Qishao snorted angrily and said, "No matter what method I use, before tonight, I must rescue my people!" ”

Wei Xizhuang is in a hurry day and night, and he may arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and the people of the Wei family, even if he Yang Qishao does not dare to provoke in the capital.

He had to leave before Wei Xizhuang arrived in Beijing!
