Three o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Zhenling was late at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Early in the morning, hundreds of people flocked to the entrance of the vegetable market, blocking the entrance of the vegetable market and the surrounding intersections. The hundred officials rushed over, but the sedan car couldn't pass, so they had to let the entourage escort clear a way. There were many officials who came, and they were driven around, and the people, who were getting farther and farther away from the execution ground, became angry and made loud noises.

Zhang Ning simply got out of the car and took Ren Rong and Gao Xiaodi through the crowd. He was dressed in a flying fish suit, and wherever he passed, the people retreated, but walked very fast. Later, Zhang Fu saw it and asked the guards to squeeze over and call him: "Lord Zhang, wait, Grandpa Guo is behind." ”

Zhang Ning looked back, Zhang Fu was riding on a jujube red horse, condescendingly smiling at him through countless black heads, his long beard fluttering in the wind, at first glance he thought that Guan Yunchang was reincarnated.

Zhang Ning walked back, and the crowd once again made a way. Coming to Zhang Fu, he said, "What does Grandpa Guo command?" ”

Zhang Fu turned over and dismounted, and said, "The old man relied on your official uniform once. Let's go. ”

Jinyi Wei is famous, and the flying fish suit is much more effective than his unicorn suit.

While the two were walking, Zhang Ning said, "Grandpa Guo also came to see the excitement?" ”

Has Wang Zhen persecuted Xungui? Yes. There are no relatives of the emperor and the emperor, but anyone who has no filial piety in Beijing, who impeached him, and who he does not like his eyes, will find a way to clean it up. Generally, he will fabricate charges and go to prison, and when he enters the edict, he will enter his territory, and how to torture him depends on his words.

The relatives and friends of the murdered Xungui were tired of saving people, and some of them begged Zhang Fu to help, but he was not rescued.

This is still under the condition that the Empress Dowager has repeatedly called Wang Zhen to reprimand him, if the Empress Dowager does not often call him to reprimand, Wang Zhen will inevitably be unscrupulous, and the situation will inevitably get out of control.

Stinky boy, this is asking knowingly, how much effort did the old man do for you? Zhang Fu glared at Zhang Ning and said, "Can't the old man come?" ”

"What did Grandpa Guo say, Your Majesty is wise, Wang Zhen is punished, and the people are like the New Year, how can your old man not come to join in the fun?" Zhang Ning said with a smile. Now is not the place to talk, only some nonsense.

Zhang Fu said: "It's rare to meet you here, you sent the cloth to the old man's house to see, and the weaving is good." I heard the housekeeper in the old man's house say that each piece of cloth is one percent cheaper than other cloth villages, but is it true? ”

"Really."

Otherwise, why did Lao Guan hide in the house and dare not go out? That's a merchant hiding from the goods. Even if it is the same price, the homespun cloth does not need to be sold, not to mention that his cloth is beautiful and cheap? But people try their best to beg for the goods, and they refuse too many times, aren't they embarrassed? Just hide.

"Zhang Ning, you have to pay taxes, you have to pay the women's monthly expenses, the cloth is cheaper than other families, where does the profit come from?" Zhang Fu said earnestly.

As the head of the British government, Zhang Fu not only led the troops to fight, but also had to worry about the food and clothing of hundreds of people up and down the British government, daily human contacts, and the cost of carriages and horses. Well, I understand this account.

In his opinion, a weaver woman's fifteen taels of silver a month is simply ridiculously high, and it would be good to be able to give one tael. Giving so much, wouldn't it increase Zhang Ning's burden?

Zhang Ning said: "Grandpa Guo doesn't know that the new loom is highly efficient, and it weaves as little as five pieces of cloth a day, and as many as six or seven horses. The old loom weaves less than one horse a day, and the difference is the boy's profit. ”

"Do you count the posting? Don't be fooled. Zhang Fu stopped and looked at him seriously.

This is to remind him not to be deceived, if he is not treated as his own nephew, how can he be reminded like this? Zhang Ning's heart warmed and said, "It's calculated, the account is right." ”

It was precisely because of the calculation and posting that he let Lao Guan reduce the price by one percent. At this price, he still has 20% gross profit. This output alone is already ten times the income of the Liangtian shops in Anxiang Bofu.

Zhang Fu saw that Zhang Ning was sure, so he didn't say anything more.

…………

The executioner, Qin Er, was a family heirloom, and he was in his fourth generation. He has been taking over his father's special knife for thirteen years, and since the second year, Ling Chishi has never missed a hand, and he always cuts the prisoner's throat at the last time, and the prisoner is breathing.

It's already a golden signboard.

Today, his prisoner is Wang Zhen, the former prisoner who was in charge of Dongchang and indirectly in charge of Jinyiwei.

Qin Er was shirtless, revealing his full chest muscles and a body of strong muscles, looking at Wang Zhen with eyes like looking at meat on a chopping board.

Wang Zhen originally lowered his head, not knowing what to think, until the prison officer Hu Tong sat down behind the table, threw down the beheaded bamboo stick, and ordered the verification of the execution, he said in a hoarse voice: "Is Zhang Ning here?" ”

Hu Tong was still very tolerant of people who were about to die, and said, "What are you looking for Zhang Ning?" If there is anything the old man can convey. ”

"We have something to ask him."

Hu Tong glanced at the black head and said, "Go and ask, is Zhang Ning here?" ”

The emperor didn't even mention Wang Zhen for the last time, and Hu Tong was not worried that there would be a will pardon him at the last moment. Wang Zhen delayed time, it was useless.

Zhang Ning and Zhang Fu were talking as they walked, and suddenly a loud voice shouted: "Is Zhang Ning here?" ”

Is this looking for me? Zhang Ning asked Ren Rong to see what was going on. Soon Ren Rong came back and told him about the situation, and Zhang Fu said, "The old man will go with you." ”

Zhang Ning really wanted to say no, I was not afraid of Wang Zhenquan when he was in the opposition, and I don't have to be afraid now. But Zhang Fu couldn't help but say that he should go first, so he had to follow.

The two squeezed in, and Wang Zhen saw Zhang Ning's flying fish suit at a glance, and said loudly in a hoarse voice: "Zhang Ning, but you framed our family?" ”

If you don't ask about the fan clearly, he won't be blind.

Zhang Ning responded loudly: "No one framed you, it was completely your guilt." ”

"It is true that our family has done a lot of evil deeds, but we have no intention of murdering Your Majesty. You did it, right? Wang Zhen smiled and was about to pounce on Zhang Ning, but he was helplessly bound by the five flowers, and with all his strength, he just twisted his body.

"I searched the obstacle fan from your house, and the sword was hidden in the barrier fan, did you complain about others? Wang Zhen, you don't want to spew blood. I want to pull this official to accompany the funeral, but I don't want to. Zhang Ning flatly denied it.

Wang Zhen sneered twice and said, "There are a lot of people in our family, but no one is as evil as you." It's not you, who's it? "If it weren't for you, how could the emperor suddenly become so ruthless?

"If you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts, and if you do too much injustice, you will harm yourself. You should have thought of such a day a long time ago. Zhang Ning had a righteous face, and many people nodded again and again.

Wang Zhen saw Zhang Fu beside Zhang Ning, laughed loudly, and said: "The British public is calculating, supporting Zhang Ning to get close to His Majesty, and slandering and framing our family." Zhang Ning is not easy to deal with, you are careful that one day it will be planted in his hands. ”

Zhang Fu said: "When death is imminent, you have to make a divisive plan, it is really impossible to redeem a hundred deaths." Master Hu, hasn't the time come yet? ”

These words reached His Majesty's ears very badly, Hu Tong had long wanted to interrupt Wang Zhen's words, and said through Zhang Fu's words: "When the time comes, the execution will be carried out." ”

Qin Er came out in response and cut the first knife.

The entrance of the vegetable market was overcrowded, but there was only Wang Zhen's screams.

Zhang Ning had received a modern education, looked twice, turned his head, and looked away. However, many officials shouted to chew Wang Zhen's meat raw, and asked Qin Er to give them the cut meat, and they took it and put it in their mouths to chew, eating it until there were shredded meat between their teeth and blood on their lips.

It's treating yourself like a beast. Zhang Ning couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Grandpa Guo, the kid still has something to do, so let's go first." ”

He came only to confirm that the tortured person was Wang Zhen. Although Hu Tong will definitely verify his identity, he is not at ease if he doesn't see it with his own eyes.

Zhang Fu knew that he couldn't bear it, and sighed: "As a noble son, you will have to go to the battlefield sooner or later, this bit of blood is timid, what should you do if you go to the battlefield in the future?" That's it, the old man will go back with you. ”

"If you go to the battlefield and fight by your ability, how can you compare it to execution?" Zhang Ning said confidently. If you go to the battlefield, you will die or I will live, how can you be soft-hearted? Besides, fighting on the battlefield, one knife goes down, no matter where it is cut, there is only one knife, which is comparable to a thousand knives?

The two said goodbye to Hu Tong, Hu Tong got up and arched his hand and said: "The old man is on official business, and he can't be sent far away, so Grandpa Guo and Master Zhang go slowly." ”

Leaving the execution ground, Wang Zhen's screams became even more piercing. Zhang Ning only felt that his hair stood on end, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace. After leaving the vegetable market, he said goodbye to Zhang Fu, prepared to get into his carriage, and left this place far away.

Zhang Fu said: "Take the old man to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." ”

Zhang Ning had no choice but to respond, and the two of them rode a horse and a car, and went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies one after another. The guest and host sat down, the scribe put on the tea and retreated, and Zhang Fu said: "Wang Zhen's words, you must not be on guard." ”

"Why did Grandpa Guo teach me?" Zhang Ning was also worried about this.

The emperor's mental technique is the most unpredictable, don't look at Zhu Qizhen's agreement to kill Wang Zhen, it is still the heaviest punishment: Ling Chi is executed. With Zhang Ning's understanding of him, it won't take long for him to think of Wang Zhen's various benefits, and remember that he said that he was framed before he died. At that time, no matter whether Zhang Ning really did it or not, he would be suspicious at the least, and he would have to go to the edict prison at worst.

Zhang Fu said: "Along the way, the old man was thinking about this. In order to eliminate the hidden danger, you may wish to inform Your Majesty of this matter. Your Majesty is soft-hearted and affectionate, knowing that you have been framed by Wang Zhen, you will only be angry and sympathetic, not suspicious. ”

Same as I thought. Zhang Ning has always felt that yang conspiracy is much better than conspiracy, and it is better to give Zhu Qizhen a preventive injection first than anything else.

Don't think that Wang Zhen's words can't reach Zhu Qizhen's ears, I don't know how many Jinyiwei and Dongchang fans are at the scene, I'm afraid that the two of them are talking in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Zhu Qizhen has already received a secret report.

It was precisely because Wang Zhen knew what he said before he died, and Zhu Qizhen must have known it, so he finally calmed down.

Zhang Fu sighed: "You have to provoke him to hate." ”

Although Zhang Ning did it, Zhang Ning did it very secretly, completely secluded behind the scenes, and used the textile factory as smoke, but I don't know if it was intuition or hatred, Wang Zhen recognized him, and he wanted to yin him when he died.

The two reached a consensus, Zhang Ning didn't dare to delay, got up and said goodbye: "The kid still has to enter the palace on duty, so I'll go back." ”

Zhu Qizhen specially asked him to be on duty for five days and take a day off, and today he was on duty and specially asked for leave.

"Go." Compared with his obscurity, Zhang Fu is much more direct.
