Chapter 90: Uncle's Opinion (I)
"Is there any news about those people?" Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng, who was standing in front of him.
"I'm ashamed, there's no news yet." Wang Meng still had a cold expression, but probably because he didn't complete the task assigned by Zhang Fan, he became even colder, "In the past few days, the brothers have been waiting there to monitor, and there has been no trace of the rest of them. ”
Zhang Fan didn't mean to blame, although now this Yangzhou city is only allowed to enter and not to leave, but after all, the area of this thousand-year-old city is huge, it was only a short day, he asked: "Have you been to see it?" Is that the guy you met the other day? ”
"I've checked it out, no." Wang Meng replied.
"Could it be that this is another group of suspicious people who are not what we are looking for?" Zhang Fan thought of another possibility.
"No, sir." Wang Meng said without the slightest hesitation, "I have carefully observed the three of them, although they are very secretive, they are definitely Miao people from southern Xinjiang. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fan pondered. Yingyue told himself that several leaders of the Miao and Zhuang people wanted to revolt, and he could fully understand the importance of these people to whether Yingyue controlled him. After all, his identity is there, and if Yingyue really controls herself, this will be great news for any organization and individual in the world who wants to revolt.
But Zhang Fan couldn't figure out one thing, why these people were so concerned about Yingyue. Not to mention that it doesn't take so much effort to keep an eye on a little girl, even if Yingyue will be a shallow * husband, it's just average. And this time, they actually sent so many people to pay attention to Yingyue, not to mention that this target would be too huge, in case something happened to implicate them; And Zhang Fan also believed that they knew the identity of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so he was not afraid that he would find out their whereabouts?
"This group of people from the Five Poisons Sect is either arrogant or stupid." Zhang Fan thought in his heart.
Zhang Fan was thinking about these here, and on the other side of his heart, he thought of what Zhang Juzheng had told him before.
On Ying Tian's side, Hai Rui has begun to make big moves, and from the news from the altar in Songjiang Mansion, Xu Jie's family has reached the point of exhaustion. After all, Xu Jie is the first assistant of the cabinet of the current dynasty when Zhishi returned to his hometown to retire, and he really disdains to ask for trust everywhere; And Hai Rui is a big Qing official, and the Qing people are starting to be stunned, whether you are a splash in the market or a prince and prime minister, you are all correct.
Zhang Fan had already instructed the Jinyi Guards to block the people of the government from various sources, whether from the open or the dark. It's okay to be dark, and in the end, at most he took out the waist card of Jinyiwei and said: "Factory guard handles the case." But Ming, Hai Rui's subordinates will always say: "By the will of the imperial court." "If you want to block it openly, okay, take out a token of Longqing, which is higher than the status of the high arch. I can't take it out, I'm sorry, and it's another sentence: "By the will of the imperial court." "No matter how you insult or block, they can't fight back, they don't fight back, they don't fight, they just don't cooperate.
"Hai Rui's subordinates are so difficult, then Hai Rui himself ......" Zhang Fan held his head and thought a little. Although this Yangzhou City can stay for a few more days under the pretext of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, the teacher Zhang Juzheng can't help but help, and Xu Jie's place is almost unbearable. At the thought of having to face his old rival Xu Jie, as well as Hai Rui, who was the most difficult in the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years, Zhang Fan felt uncomfortable.
"What are you bothering about?"
At this moment, Zhang Fan was sitting in the lobby of the Zhang family, crying and drinking tea. Uncle Zhang Yufang, who was passing by, saw Zhang Fan's frowning deeply, and from time to time he drank the tea that was already cold in his hand, and couldn't help asking.
"Uncle." Zhang Fan saw that it was Zhang Yufang, and hurriedly got up to salute.
"Fan'er, how many times has my uncle said that this is your home, and you don't have to be so polite." Zhang Yufang said.
"What my uncle said is that the little nephew is now restless." Zhang Fan said.
Zhang Yufang also asked: "I look at you like this, did you encounter any troubles?" The tea is cold. ”
Zhang Fan looked at Zhang Yufang, after the past few days of contact, he felt that his uncle was really a good person. People say that businessmen seek profits, but Zhang Yufang, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, can be counted, but where is the appearance of a philistine businessman, whether it is a person or a businessman, he would rather suffer a loss than harm others. Zhang Fan heard that his family has been like this since he started doing business, and he really doesn't know how this Zhang family's business has developed.
Zhang Fan felt that what he had in his heart had nothing to do with his uncle, so he said, "Uncle must have seen that there are guards everywhere here now." ”
"I was about to ask you about it." Zhang Yufang was also wondering about this matter, but because of Zhang Fan's identity, he hadn't asked it before, and now that Zhang Fan had mentioned it, he naturally asked.
"Uncle must also know about the rebellion of the strong people in southern Xinjiang in the past." Zhang Fan said, "Now the bandit leader Wei Yinbao has been arrested, but the remaining bandits under his command are still undead, regardless of the orders of the imperial court and the lives of the local people, and want to make trouble again." ”
"I've heard about it, too." Zhang Yufang said, suddenly, he seemed to think of something, "Fan'er, could it be ......?"
Zhang Fan naturally knew what he wanted to say, so he hurriedly excused himself and said: "Yes, they are now eyeing the little nephew and want to borrow the little nephew's hand to facilitate the incident." didn't say that I was afraid of disturbing the peace of my uncle's family. He didn't dare to say what this matter had to do with Yingyue, after all, Zhang Yufang was his uncle, and he was afraid that Zhang Yufang would be prejudiced against Yingyue.
"This, Fan'er, are you in danger, it doesn't matter, right?" Zhang Yufang hurriedly asked.
Zhang Fan was very moved when he heard his words, Zhang Yufang cared so much about his nephew, who had just met. When Zhang Fan first said this, Zhang Yufang was not thinking about implicating his family, but about Zhang Fan's safety.
"Uncle Xie cares, and Fan'er has guards by his side at all times." Zhang Fan said, "It's the little nephew who has affected my uncle's family, and the little nephew is really ashamed." ”
"It doesn't have to be like this, we are a family, why do we need to be like this." Zhang Yufang said, "Although you are an official of the imperial court, you are also my nephew, so I will say it directly." I have also heard about the southwest, and Nawei Yinbao is indeed a hero. But now Wei Yinbao has died, and the imperial court has also made new arrangements for the southwest. But those people don't die, they really deserve to die. ”
Zhang Fan didn't expect that his uncle was very knowledgeable, and now he respects him even more.
"Uncle, rest assured, the movements of this group of people in Yangzhou City have been sent by my nephew to watch." Zhang Fan said, "Now my nephew is just waiting for their other accomplices to gather so that they can be captured." ”
"Well, it does." Zhang Yufang clapped his hands and applauded, then thought of something again, and said, "But, aren't you afraid that they will hear the wind and run away?" ”
"Uncle, rest assured, the little nephew has already ordered, and now this Yangzhou City is only allowed to enter and not to leave." Zhang Fan said.
"Well, Fan'er really deserves to be a person who has been on the battlefield, and his thoughts are very thorough." Zhang Yufang said, "Since you have already made up your mind about this matter, why are you still so frowning just now?" ”
“…… Alas. Zhang Fan looked at his uncle, just wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say, and sighed deeply.
After a while, Zhang Yufang didn't see Zhang Fan speak, thinking that he had something unspeakable, so he said: "If Fan'er doesn't want to say it, forget it." After speaking, Zhang Yufang was ready to leave.
"Uncle!" Zhang Fan saw that Zhang Yufang was about to leave, but suddenly stopped him again. Zhang Fan looked at his uncle, thought about it, and felt that his uncle, a businessman who had been in the shopping mall for many years, might be able to give himself a little opinion on this matter, so he couldn't help but say: "The little nephew has something to ask my uncle for advice." ”
"Oh, since everyone has something to ask for, how can an elder ignore it!" Zhang Yufang said with a smile, "Fan'er has something to worry about, talk to your uncle." ”
