Chapter Fifty-Six: Expulsion of Shi Man

"Zheng Zi paper, there are only a few thousand pieces of output per month, and you need two thousand at once, it's too much!"

Shi Manman didn't care, "It's your business." I'm going to ask for two thousand. ”

"My family only enters the Son of Heaven every year. Do you want two thousand a month? That's twice as much as the Son of Heaven! Zheng Sheng said coldly.

Shi Man was stunned, he really hadn't taken this into account.

Shi Man's eyes rolled, and he had an idea in his heart, "Listen, this paper has five hundred sheets of my own." The remaining 1,500 are those of the two adults, King Shunyang and Xinye Gong. The two adults have decided that I will run their Zheng Zi paper business. ”

Zheng Sheng listened to Shi Man's inconsistent lies, and wanted to get rid of him immediately, but he was also afraid of his relationship with King Shunyang.

Mother's uncle's relatives, Shi Man's back is really a character he can't provoke.

Zheng Sheng went on to explain: "I really don't have so much. ”

"Boy, I don't know how to lift!" Shi Man sneered, "No paper? You seem to have other businesses in your family, right? Drunken Xiangju is your family's property? Give me the drunken incense house, plus ten manors, and then add eight hundred pieces of Zhengzi paper, that's it! ”

Zheng Sheng stood up, he didn't want to endure it anymore. He is born again, from the twenty-first century. He still has to swallow his anger and endure the blackmail of a scoundrel!

Is the King of Shunyang? What's wrong with the king! The Rebellion of the Eight Kings was not that these kings were killing each other, but in the end they messed up the world!

He's going to put up with this shit bastard! It's better not to live this life again!

"Get out!" Zheng Sheng shouted.

Shi Man stared at the small eyes that only had a slit, and he was also angry: "What did you say? ”

"Get out!" Zheng Sheng took a step forward, he was already thinking about the consequences, the consequences for the King of Shangshunyang.

But if it's right, it's right, why should he think about it so much!

Shi Man took a small step back, feeling that he had weakened his momentum, and pulled his voice like a male duck: "You dare to tell me to get out, do you know who I am?" ”

"Tiger Guard Battalion!" Zheng Sheng ignored him and shouted.

The children who were standing guard outside bored immediately sobered up and rushed into the hall.

"First Shi was ordered to report." Shi Chang Song said loudly.

Zheng Sheng glanced at Shi Man, "Get this person out!" ”

Shi Man scolded, Song Zhi waved his hand, and the first guard pushed Shi Man and drove him out of the small courtyard.

Shi Man took his subordinates and gathered outside the small courtyard, and continued to threaten: "Boy, you are dead, dare to go against the wishes of King Shunyang." You're miserable! ”

Zheng Sheng was annoyed, and ordered Wang Jun and Wan Yun who had gathered, "Except for that fat man, all the others will be taken away!" ”

This order was carried out thoroughly, and although the Tiger Guard Battalion was still very young, hundreds of guards were outnumbered, each armed with sticks, and beat up a group of street gangsters.

Shi Man was also frightened, and he got into the carriage and fled quickly.

Sitting in the carriage, Shi Man's face was still pale, and his heart palpitated.

Qiu Shuzhi showed a satisfied and sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, and he pretended to be angry: "Zheng Shizi behaves like this, obviously looking down on King Shunyang!" King Shunyang is going to return to China in January next year, right? When the time comes, you mention this matter to the King of Shunyang, and the Zheng family's property is not all yours? ”

Shi Man cowardly agreed to mention this matter to King Shunyang? God knows, his titular nephew, the king of Shunyang, still remembers his uncle, whom he met ten years ago.

Zheng Sheng was in a good mood, and he broke through the heart barrier. Fear of power? Maybe the power can really kill him and ruin everything he has now.

But he clearly knew that in the near future, it would be a catastrophe that would last for hundreds of years, and at that time, was the power of the Sima clan still worth fearing?

He doesn't need to be too weak, he just doesn't deliberately look for trouble. But trouble came to the door, and he blindly avoided it, so what is the meaning of this life!

However, Zheng Sheng needs to think carefully about the series of troubles he may face next.

King Shunyang is indeed a high mountain for him now. But climbing the mountain is just a little tiring.

Zheng Sheng went back to continue clearing the snow.

After finishing the work, Zheng Sheng went to see Master Qiu and told him about driving Shi Man away.

Qiu Fuzi smiled: "If you are so oppressed and dare not resist, what will it be?" You're doing the right thing. ”

"So, what do we do next? I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with King Shunyang. "Zheng Sheng is self-aware, he is still very weak.

"Maybe I said it too seriously and made you worried. I've been with you for several years, and I've seen how well you handle all kinds of things. Master Qiu paused, "If we have a clear conscience in doing things, can King Shunyang really bully unreasonably?" ”

Zheng Sheng shook his head, who is sure about the conduct of the clan royal family?

Qiu Fuzi continued: "This Shi Man claims to be the younger brother of the Taifei Shi clan? ”

Zheng Sheng nodded yes.

"Concubine Shi is the youngest sister of Leling Gong Shibao. As far as I know, Shibao has only one younger brother who died young, and has no offspring. The sons of Shibao don't have such a person as Shi Man, so what is the origin of this Shi Man? ”

Zheng Sheng remembered, "Shi Man said that he was from Huainan. ”

Qiu Fuzi was happy: "Huainan people? Shibao is a native of the Bohai Sea. Isn't this Shi Manmo a liar? ”

Zheng Sheng was also blinded: "Liar? Unlikely! "Are there any liars who dare to pretend to be big clans in this day and age?

"Huainan people? Maybe it really has something to do with the stone bud! During the Cao Wei period, Shi Bao once guarded Huainan, perhaps it was at that time that the Shi Man family climbed Shi Bao and became Shi Bao's relatives. ”

Zheng Sheng was speechless, and after a long time, this Shi Man is very likely to be an impostor.

"I have said several times that I want you to memorize the ancestral names of the princes and nobles. Today, you know the importance of this thing, right? Qiu Fuzi found an opportunity and began to teach Zheng Sheng a lesson.

Zheng Sheng nodded, "I learn, I memorize." Zheng Sheng remembered that Master Qiu asked him to recite the list of royal families and princes with different surnames all over the country since the Qin and Han dynasties, Zheng Sheng was going crazy, "Master, can I only recite contemporary ones?" In the history of three or four hundred years since the Qin and Han dynasties, there are too many princes! ”

"Wang Jun is already familiar with it, and Zheng Shang and Wan Yun are almost the same. Your intelligence is not lost to them, it's just a problem, too lazy! ”

"yes, I'm lazy. But with Wang Jun here, as well as Zheng Shang and Wan Yun, they are by my side, doesn't it mean that I also know? ”

Qiu Fuzi glared, helpless, and changed the topic: "Shi Man's matter, we will talk about it later." How much do you know about Sima Chang, the king of Shunyang? ”

"Sima Chang is the son of Sima Jun, the king of Fufeng." Zheng Shang thought about what Ren said to him yesterday, "When Taikang was seven years old, Sima Jun died. After Sima Chang attacked the King of Fufeng, he asked for a decree of grace to divide his fief among his younger brother Sima Xin. This year, the emperor changed the title of a group of imperial families, Sima Chang changed the title of Shunyang, and his younger brother Sima Xin was also named the Duke of Xinye County. ”

"Huh? I don't know why Sima Chang is willing to divide his fief to his younger brother, and this Sima Xin is not his sibling. Judging from this incident, his character may not be too bad. ”

Master Qiu nodded, "Sima Chang's father, Sima Jun, is the seventh son of Emperor Xuan Sima Zhongda, who is intelligent and benevolent, and is known for his filial piety. It is a rare talent in the Jin clan. His son's character should indeed not be bad. Sima Chang is in the country, Ke Wu, you can try to make friends. ”

Zheng Sheng was silent.

"In the past few years, we have paid attention to the major events of the court. You are particularly disgusted by the habit of luxury in the country now, but when today's son has gradually abandoned government affairs since Ping Wu, he likes money and beauty. Since Taikang, the atmosphere of simplicity and simplicity has subsided, and the wealthy people have taken pleasure in fighting for wealth. This is especially true of the royal clans. But there are always exceptions, right? ”

Qiu Fuzi persuaded, "Your brother Zheng Mi has made a series of moves recently, this Shi Man may not be able to talk to Sima Chang, but the news that you drove Shi Man away has reached Sima Chang's ears, and this king may not have a good impression of you." ”

Zheng Sheng got up, "I understand, I'm going to Liu Yang's banquet soon, and then go back to the manor for New Year's Day." Go to Nanyang again to see if you can meet Sima Chang and explain this matter to him clearly. What do you think of my itinerary this month? ”

"Yes."

"Then this year, you will take everyone to celebrate New Year's Day together! This time, I brought Ren Ju and Liu Wei'er over. ”

"Yes."

Zheng Sheng returned to his room, sat quietly, and pondered.

He was witnessing a little change in the dynasty.

When he first came, the Jin Kingdom unified the whole country, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they were thriving. He felt that Jin Guo was a vigorous young man, healthy and had a bright future.

But in the years that followed, it was rapidly degenerating, and as Qiu Fuzi said, the people of the Jin Kingdom changed from the enterprising style of ten years ago to greedy for pleasure and luxury.

Taxes are still low, as long as it is a good year, the people's lives are okay.

But Zheng Sheng knew that the country was about to undergo drastic changes, and those who were lucky enough to escape would run to Jiangnan to survive.

He somewhat despised his original idea and hid in Jiangnan to live his own prosperous life. What's the difference with these people? Do you really want to do it yourself?

He must train well and do his part for this era.

As for befriending Sima Chang, it upset him. He understood what Master Qiu meant. Now Zheng Miao's intention is very clear, he wants to use external forces to suppress him, and this King of Shunyang is his biggest and sharpest weapon.

Finding a way to make friends with Sima Chang is the best solution.

However, befriending the King of Shunyang means that he has more intersections with the upper echelons of the Western Jin Dynasty, and he will see more unsatisfactory.

Well, the more he sees, the stronger his heart will be. Zheng Sheng convinced himself.

The next day, Zheng Sheng was going out again. In recent months, Zheng Sheng has not spent as much time outside the courtyard as he is. However, there is no way around it.

The carriage followed the river, crossed Nanxiang County, and returned to the manor.

Zheng Sheng got out of the car and met Mrs. Wang, he mainly wanted to ask Mrs. Wang about Wang Xiang's trip to Shunyang.

Mrs. Wang innocently told Zheng Sheng: "Xiang'er said that it was too boring in the manor and wanted to go out for a walk." He went to Shunyang City? also accepted the invitation of Liu Bidao's son? This doesn't conflict with our agreement, does it? ”

"Are you sure he'll come back to the manor by himself after the banquet?"

Mrs. Wang was silent, she didn't dare to guarantee it!

Zheng Sheng sighed, sure enough, Mrs. Wang was unreliable.

Leaving the manor, Zheng Sheng headed for Shunyang.
