Chapter 316: Gambling on Luck
King Qi coughed and almost died. Fang Zheng looked like no one else, innocently spread his hands and said with big innocent eyes: "I just wanted to interview you about your thoughts, and I didn't accuse you of rebellion, Brother King of Thailand is too bold, right?" ”
The king of Thailand choked and coughed for a long time, looked around nervously, and hurriedly coaxed out the two girls who were waiting for them to drink. Only then did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Pointing at Fang Zheng with a helpless face, the King of Thailand smiled bitterly: "My courage is really not big, you have to scare me again"
Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Brother King of Thailand is polite, I'm really curious, you say, why are your brothers anti-anti, chaotic, why are you so comfortable?" ”
The King of Thailand was stunned. Shaking his head, he said, "I don't know, maybe it's nature." Ever since I was a child, I didn't like to grab things from people, and even if I liked it, once someone wanted to compete with me, I would give it to him without any consideration.
I remember when I was only eight years old, one day my father gave each of the princes a leather coat, which was made of the skins of rare animals from all over the world. The prince was two years older than me. What he got was a white bear skin, and what I got was a gold trick leather coat, the leather coat was beautifully made, and the whole body was dark yellow, which looked very luxurious, but the prince saw that I was wearing a golden raccoon skin, and he was very displeased, so he wanted to change it with me. And said: "I am the eldest son, and I will be the prince after the year, but I can wear a four-clawed dragon robe, and I am the third son of the emperor." Who qualifies to wear a dull yellow? Since then, I have fallen into fear in my heart, and I dare not fight with others and rob others. Out of fear. I don't even want to stay in the palace or even the capital for a long time, and I have been traveling all over the world."
Pulling the corners of his mouth bitterly, the King of Thailand looked a little sad: "My life has actually been a failure, my father is angry with me without ambition, my brothers can't afford to fool me, I think I am cowardly by nature, good and easy to deceive, even the fourth brother of the emperor is not as good as being sick, he at least at the critical time of the struggle for the crown, he has the courage to fight, and he has succeeded, but I" but I don't even have the courage to go back to the capital, I am really ashamed and landless!" ”
Fang Zheng nodded secretly when he heard this, I just said, everyone from the royal family is sick, and this is no exception, the difference is that others are in a hurry, but he likes to escape, he has always thought that he travels all over the world and travels the world because he is open-minded and broad-minded, but he didn't dare to return to the capital, he could only wander outside, and he was almost banished and miserable.
Be a prince. It's not easy, at least it's not as happy as it seems,
patted the King of Thailand on the shoulder, and Fang Zheng had a sad expression of sympathy for the same disease: "Brother King of Thailand, he is also a fallen person at the end of the world!" At this point, I think we have a common topic: "King of Thailand." Immediately walked out of the sad mood, looked at Fang Zheng and said in surprise: "Won't it?" You are the only son of the Fang family. There should be no brotherly strife to be the hope."
Fang Zheng sighed and said: "Brothers don't fight, but wives fight!" ”
"What do you mean?" junior
"Luo Yueniang. It's the female bandit I led the army to rescue, have you seen it?.
The King nodded. Luo Yueniang he has indeed seen, beauty is beautiful, but that temper,
Fang Zheng patted his thigh and said bitterly: "What a good girl!" Virtuous and virtuous, gentle and graceful, dignified and quiet, weak and can't help it,"
"Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute! The King of Thailand hurriedly stopped: "Brother Fang, are you sure you are talking about the female bandit on Qinglong Mountain?" Could it be that these women have the same name and surname? ”
Fang Zheng frowned unhappily: "Nonsense! My beautiful wife is the only one in the world."
The King of Thailand said with straight eyes: "But your comment on her seems to be, it seems,"
He had seen Fang Zheng thrown out of the door by the female bandit with his own eyes, and he beat Fang Zheng up, so he was still "gentle and graceful"?
"Ahem, I'll just take her for what she is. Hey, what about talking, don't interrupt the line? Where do I say on the Internet? ”
"Coffee" is virtuous and virtuous, and the weak can't help but fan "The King of Thailand wipes sweat."
"That's right! What a girl! Not only did she save my life twice, but she also fell in love with me without hesitation, and pushed me, cough, this is not enough for outsiders, in short, she is still pregnant with my child, but the lady of my family, Leng is not allowed to enter my house, and now she has a big belly alone, and she can't go back to her home, with hundreds of bandits and bandits, robbing homes and houses, and living hard"
The King of Thailand smashed his mouth: "Why do I sound this weird and awkward,"
Fang Zheng looked sad, and sighed: "There is discord in the family, and the tired are all men, now I have a wife in the east and a wife in the west, both wives have big bellies, and no one's heart is good, when this errand is done, whether to see my husband's wife first, or to see my little wife first, just because of this, I have not slept well for a few days." Not to mention the birth of a child in the future, if Yueniang gives birth to a child in front of Su'er, the eldest son of our family can only be regarded as a concubine, and it is not his turn to be a title. And I guess that when Bi'er is angry, she may stab the child born by Yueniang, and Yueniang will definitely not let her. So the two mothers-in-law fought on the top of the Forbidden City on a dark and windy night, "Ouch! I'm scared! ”
Fang Zheng said. Thinking of the bunch of bullshit at home and not knowing how to end it, I was sad for a while. He blinked his eyes twice, and his sockets soon turned red
The King of Thailand saw that Fang Zheng was sincere and devoted, and he couldn't help crying and laughing in his heart, you are a fragrant trouble that ordinary people can't envy, and you are embarrassed to cry! With so many beautiful wives surrounding you, you are still worried. Those bachelors who have no money and no power simply pull out their knives and wipe their necks."
Raising his hand and patting Fang Zheng's shoulder, the King of Thailand wanted to say two words of comfort, but he didn't know how to say it, strictly speaking, this is the fragrant thing that all men in the world dream of, and the King of Thailand despises this in his heart
The King of Thailand changed the topic at the right time, he really didn't want Fang Zheng to go on anymore.
"Ahem, Brother Fang, you went to Jiangnan this time. How's the errand going? Any progress? At the mention of this, the expression of the King of Thailand seemed to change slightly. Fang Zheng was already worried. The king of Thailand didn't open any pot and which pot to mention, as if he had finally provoked Fang Zheng's sadness, and his eyes blinked. Gasping tears streamed down his face.
"I'm miserable! I'm worse than Coptis chinensis! One. Wouldn't it be okay to catch a few and kill a few corrupt officials? Now it's good, pull out the radish ** puree, and out of nowhere a mastermind emerges. The prefect caught seven, "but it can't be used by birds!" Now you can't enter, you can't retreat, you can't retreat, and you can't close the case just by arresting the prefect, you say, you say, am I bitter? Am I bitter? Ouch! I'm dripping that life, wow, like that coptis"
Seeing that Fang Zheng was sitting down and rolling on the spot, the King of Thailand hurriedly stopped him: "Ahem, Brother Fang, Brother Fang!" Calm down! There is always a solution to everything, this "crying is not a man's state after all,"
"Woo" I am a fragile and helpless man" Fang Zheng still cried to himself.
The King of Thailand is full of black lines:
After persuading the boss for a while, Fang Zheng finally stopped crying, and sobbed twice from time to time, looking very sad.
"Brother Fang, the matter has come to this point, what can I do to break this deadlock?" The King of Thailand seems to be very concerned about this case.
Fang Zheng sobbed twice and said, "It's not that there is no way, it depends on luck." ”
The king's pupils suddenly contracted. Then he showed an interested expression and said happily, "Oh? Brother Fang is really talented, he thought of a way so quickly? Say it, and let me help you take a look at it and brainstorm ideas
"The current situation is that the prefect of the Seven Prefectures has been arrested, but it is just a puppet and bait put on the bright side by the people behind the scenes, and the people behind the scenes are very cunning and will not show up at all, so I can only think of a way to lure the snake out of the hole,"
"What's the method?"
Fang Zheng smiled: "People have **, generally speaking, it is nothing more than power and money, of course, I am the exception, I have to be beautiful"
"What's the guy behind the scenes?" Under the bright candlelight, the eyes of the King of Thailand became a little unpredictable.
Fang Zheng said confidently: "The four people behind the scenes came to manipulate and coerce the prefect of the Six Prefectures to help him embezzle more than 20 million taels of tax silver, although I don't know what he wants to do with so much silver, but I know one thing, this guy must be very short of money to spend."
"You mean, bring him out with silver? But "Where did you get the money?" Usually a small amount, he will definitely not be able to look at it
Fang Zheng smiled mysteriously: "There is a large amount of silver, big enough to make him tempted" Damn! I can't help but want to do it,"
"What name is the silver?"
"Spring tax in seven provinces north of the Yangtze River. A total of 4 million taels were escorted by officers and soldiers to the treasury of the capital, and I intercepted them when I passed through Suzhou yesterday."
"What? Fang,, Brother Fang. You, you, you robbed another vote? The robbery was actually the official tax of the imperial court? You, you, you don't want to die! The King of Thailand was shocked.
"Hey, calm down, calm down! It's interception, not robbery! I just stopped this batch of tax silver, and the road from Suzhou to the capital was transported by me, the minister of the Imperial Mission."
"You mean, use this tax money as bait to lure the people behind the scenes out?"
"That's right, isn't he short of silver? I brought the money to him to see if he could eat it.
"How are you going to give it to him? And how to draw him out? ”
"There are two ways to go from Suzhou to Beijing. The first was to take the official road, escorted by Feng Qiudao's 5,000 dragon warriors, and the second was to take the waterway, ordering the transfer of more than a dozen large ships from Taihu Lake to the Yangtze River, and finally into the Qinhuai River. I'm going to use both of these paths."
"What do you mean, do you have to divide the four million taels of tax silver into two, half by water, and half by official?"
Fang Zheng smiled mysteriously: "No, only one of the roads has real tax silver, and the other one ambushes the swords and guns of the officers and soldiers,"
The King of Thailand frowned and said, "You mean to let him choose?" ”
Fang Zheng nodded and smiled: "Not bad." Not only that, but I also increased the chips, I plan to ask the Han family to take another two million taels of silver, and go with the tax silver, and say to the outside world that it is a semicolon to send a batch of silver to the capital, so that a total of six million taels of silver are placed in front of that person, guess what, will that person be so excited that he will talk dry? .
A hint of concubine flickered in the eyes of the King of Thailand. Licking his dry lips, he smiled bitterly: "It's really exciting."
Fang Zheng smiled: "Compare your heart to your heart." If I were him, I would definitely have robbed it without hesitation, and the people behind the scenes must be plotting against him, from ancient times to the present, if the plotter does not have the support of a huge amount of money, it will never be a big deal, these six million taels of silver, enough to feed an army of 100,000 people, buy fine iron, build weapons, shields and ordnance, it is very useful, I don't believe that he is not tempted, as long as he is tempted, it will be easy to do,"
The King of Thailand pondered for a while and said, "Don't you think there is something wrong with this plan?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"No matter how I look at it, I think you're gambling with that person, and there's a lot of chance in it, what if the person behind the scenes really chooses the road with tax money and robs this batch of silver?"
Fang Zheng smiled: "You can also see it? In fact, my plan is not a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy! To put it bluntly, I'm just gambling! ”
"Huh? Why are you? That's six million taels of silver! If Cangwei is tribulated, how can you give an account to the emperor? . Fang Zheng sighed and said, "Brother King of Thailand, you know that I have been an official for two years, from an unknown young master to a second-class member with great power, and I have also made several small contributions to the court and the emperor. What am I relying on? ”
The King of Thailand hesitated for a moment and said, "Ability? Wisdom? ”
Fang Zheng shook his head, and suddenly smiled: "it, wisdom!" Actually, I don't have any skills, I only rely on one thing,"
"What is it?"
"Luck!"
"Luck?" When the King of Thailand heard this, he immediately cried and laughed.
Fang Zheng smiled very firmly: "Yes, I completely rely on luck. Advice to the imperial court. Retreating from the Turkic army, I was talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be adopted by the imperial court. Pan Shangshu rebelled, I went out of the city to move the rescue soldiers, when my life hung by a thread, I survived by luck, the prince rebelled and usurped the throne, I was even more confused to take over the military power of the city defense army, and someone reported that the emperor was in danger, so he urgently transferred troops. After relieving the danger of the emperor's soldiers, you say, this pile, piece by piece, what did I not rely on luck to mix? ”
The King of Thailand listened with straight eyes, and after a long pause, he finally smiled bitterly: "I didn't think it before, but when I heard you say this, I realized that you are really lucky."
Fang Zheng smiled proudly, that is. Lao Tzu fell into the sewer and crossed, which was the most bizarre luck in the world,,
The King thought again. Suddenly laughed and said: "It's really hard for me to imagine that Lord Fang Zhengfang, who has made countless meritorious contributions, has come to this day step by step by completely by luck, if it is known by the world, alas, the hero image in their minds will definitely collapse in an instant."
Fang Zheng smiled nonchalantly: "Collapse is collapse, it's my business?" It's a lot of pressure to be an idol these days, do you know? The King of Thailand's eyes flashed, and he muttered: "I probably understand what you mean, you set this plan to lure the person behind the curtain out, do you want to gamble with him on luck?" ”
Fang Zheng nodded and smiled: "Not bad." Compared with wisdom, than intrigue and trickery, than ability, I am inferior to him, my only strength is luck, only by betting on luck, I have hope of winning, otherwise this case will drag on like this, I am afraid there will be drastic changes. That guy must have made a big move in the near future,"
The King of Thailand smiled: "Actually, it's not entirely your luck, the Art of War: the virtual is real, the real is the virtual, the strategy you set is just in line with the art of war, although it is not very clever, but at least it is very effective."
Fang Zheng was overjoyed: "Oh? My idea is in line with the art of war? Hey! Sure enough, it was luck again."
"Then which path are you going to go for. Which way is true? The King of Thailand asked with a smile.
Fang Zheng raised his eyes and found that the smile of the King of Thailand was a little weird, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, and said when he heard it: "The official road is real, the waterway is false, I have thought about it, the tax and silver will be escorted into Beijing by the official road, as for the waterway, more than a dozen big ships are secretly ambushing the officers and soldiers, if that person really comes to rob, let them all go into the water and become kings, haha,"
"What if the person behind the curtain doesn't show up? You catch a few. What's the use of a little minion?
"It doesn't matter if you don't show up, thousands of officers and soldiers escort you, if the people behind the scenes want to rob this batch of silver smoothly, they must at least send 10,000 people to win, right? No matter how big that person is in Jiangnan, how many tens of thousands of people are enough for him to toss? This time it can at least consume a lot of his strength, and maybe show some horses
The King of Thailand smiled, noncommittal.
"Hey, what are we doing today?". After talking for a long time, Fang Zheng suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"This,I'm here to visit the Qinglou." The King of Thailand is full of black lines.
Fang Zheng patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen a prostitute like us who honestly sits and drinks tea?" Those girls outside may be laughing at us, we don't look like men, ask you how much sorrow you can have, well, it's really like two eunuchs visiting the Qinglou, haha
Clapped his hands, Fang Zheng called the two girls again, and casually pulled one over and "hugged it in his arms." began to eat tofu and get up, the king of Thailand saw that Fang Zheng was so arrogant, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, the girl next to him was interested, and hurriedly began to wait for him to drink.
The two of them were drinking happily, when suddenly a shout came from downstairs: "Mrs. Fang, where are you, Lord Fang?" ”
Fang Zheng was stunned, feeling that the voice was a little familiar. The King of Thailand listened carefully and said with a smile: "It's Lord Xiao, he's coming to you." ”
Saying that, the king of Thailand stood up, and the girl beside him was more sensible, so she hurriedly took a step ahead of him and opened the door of the wing.
Xiao Huaiyuan was looking for it and was sweating profusely. Seeing that Fang Zheng and the King of Thailand were drinking flower wine, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You guys are at ease,"
The King of Thailand clapped his hands, stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, Lord Xiao is looking for someone to find this Tibetan incense courtyard, there must be important official business, I won't bother you, the moonlight is good tonight, I will visit a few Yayou, chant poems and make a match, so as not to live up to the good night and bright moon, hehe, farewell, farewell." ”
The two sent the drug king away, and sent the girl out, Fang Zheng glared at Xiao Huaiyuan angrily: "You can't see me idle!" Say! What are you looking for me? Don't tell me you're here to eat and drink. Believe it or not, I'm throwing you out now? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan picked up the wine cup and took a sip, not paying attention to it, grabbed the chopsticks used by the King of Thailand, and took a few mouthfuls of food, then wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "I'm here to report to the adult, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, just wait for the adult's order, let's take the thief, hehe, and the Han family was also looking for you everywhere in the Qincha Hotel just now."
