Chapter 134: Back to the Black Cauldron
The more Fang Zheng said, the more proud he became, if the emperor was also brought in, it would not be called Lichun Courtyard in the future, what was it called? Royal Spring Garden?
"Shut up!" The emperor was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am the king of a country, and I have partnered with you to open a brothel? Ridiculous! ”
Fang Zheng suddenly realized, yes, buddy is too carried away when it comes to making money, how can the emperor partner with me to do this? Miscalculated.
Shrinking his neck, Fang Zheng smiled dryly: "...... The emperor is angry, Weichen is talking about fun, you must not take it seriously, just listen to it as a joke, you know, Weichen is a person with a great sense of humor......"
The emperor snorted fiercely and said: "Remember to do a good job, move a little seriously, don't fool me with those small fish and shrimp, don't be afraid of offending people, I will support you in the back, I want to see who will be so anxious that he can't sit still, and he will be the first to jump out and impeach you." ”
Fang Zheng nodded helplessly, the emperor said this nicely, in fact, he was using him as a gunman, after this errand was completed, it was estimated that he would offend many people, and even offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who gave him a lot of silver.
"It's okay, just step down. I'm tired. The emperor said lightly.
"Uh...... Your Majesty, there is one more thing...... "Fang Zheng period Ai Ai Dao."
The emperor frowned impatiently: "If you have something, hurry up." ”
Fang Zheng's expression suddenly became writhing, and he drew circles on the ground with one foot uneasily: "...... What's that, if you almost marry your daughter to Weichen, you can get ......"
The emperor's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "You are ...... Propose? ”
Fang Zheng hurriedly nodded, revealing a shy look: "The so-called fair lady, gentleman ......" Fang Zheng stopped talking when he said this, he suddenly felt that this sentence was not appropriate, Changping was not a lady, and he basically had nothing to do with the word "gentleman". I have to say that this is the sorrow of the traverser.
So Fang Zheng changed his words and said, "...... The water comes naturally, the emperor, the water comes naturally, Weichen and Princess Changping are more in love than Jinjian, a match made in heaven, and the emperor You are even more affectionate, this, well, is it time to do it? ”
The emperor smiled and said, "I don't seem to be sincere about you." ”
Fang Zheng shook his head and said cautiously: "Could it be that the royal marriage is a girl, and the man still has to pay a bride price?" Your Majesty, Weichen is a poor Qing official. ”
The emperor snorted: "Your whole body has fallen into the eyes of money, and you are embarrassed to call yourself a clean official." Now that I've done the errand I gave you, let's talk about the relationship with Changping. ”
------------------------
Returning to the mansion dejectedly, Fang Zheng sat on the Taishi chair in the side hall and sighed.
How do you feel like everything around you is getting messed up? The wife can't please him, someone wants to kill him, the emperor wants him to do something that offends people, and he wants to please both ends, now it seems unlikely, but how can he deal with the errand assigned by the emperor on the premise of not offending people as much as possible?
Sad, if you had crossed over to a farmer's child, maybe there wouldn't have been so many things, right? Fang Zheng couldn't help but start thinking seriously, if I were a farmer's child, what would I do?
Money! Money is the most important thing, and it is a good thing regardless of the dynasty or generation. So if I become the son of a poor family, the first thing I need to do is make money. How to earn it? Well, I sold my one-third of an acre of land, carried a few taels of silver into the capital, and then secretly abducted it, accumulated the original capital, and then invested in Sister Feng's Ruyuzhai, and then met the fat man and Changping, and opened the high-end market of Ruyuzhai, and then because of the fat man and Changping, I met the emperor, and the emperor gave me an official, and I was assassinated again......
Fang Zheng froze when he thought of this, how could it be the same ending again? If that's the case, I might as well be my current young master, at least I don't have to fight for many things by myself.
Shaking his head vigorously, Fang Zheng sighed heavily with a sad face, or think about how to do the errand assigned by the emperor well, and at the same time try not to offend people, the good things that please both ends will not fall from the sky. By what? Wisdom!
Just about to get up and go back to his small courtyard, tune ** with Xiao Lu, and relieve his depressed mood, at this time Steward Sun came to report, there was a guest at the door, and Liu Shilang from the household department came to visit.
Fang Zheng frowned and thought about it, and was startled when he figured it out, Liu Shilang, isn't it the emasculated father of Liu Gongzi? What is he doing at my house? Could it be that he secretly found out the real culprit who killed his son and came to the door to take revenge in person?
Anxiously pulling Steward Sun, Fang Zheng wiped his cold sweat and asked, "Liu Shilang came alone, or did he bring a large group of people?" ”
Seeing that the young master was so frightened that his face turned pale, Steward Sun couldn't help but secretly wonder, and replied honestly: "Liu Shilang is here alone. ”
Fang Zheng blinked, came alone? Could it be that he is a master of art and bold, on the surface he is an official of the imperial court, but his actual identity is a martial arts master?
The weak-hearted Young Master Fang thought about it for a while, and had the intention to refuse to see this household servant and hidden version of the enemy, and felt that it was not suitable, he was a third-grade master, put down the shelf and personally came to see me, a fifth-grade idle official, if he refused to see him, wouldn't it be a big offense to spread it?
In desperation, Fang Zheng had to order to go down and meet the guests in the front hall.
Liu Shilang is in his forties, slightly chubby, and his face is very dignified, which may be the reason for his recent death, Liu Shilang looks a little haggard, and his eye circles seem to have darkened.
Fang Zheng looked up to the sky and smirked a few times, then stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Liu has descended to the noble and come to the cold house in person, it is really rude for the lower officials." Excuse me, hehe. ”
Liu Shilang also smiled at Fang Zheng, and his smile seemed to be mixed with a little bitterness: "Lord Fang is polite, Liu is presumptuous, and the person who is rude is Liu." ”
Fang Zheng smirked and said, "Lord Liu is serious, hehe, hehe, ...... serious."
The guest and the host sit down, and according to the practice of officialdom, it is necessary to greet each other first and then talk about business.
Fang Zheng said tentatively: "I heard that Lord Liu's dog was castrated...... Ahem, someone hurt you, and now your dog can recover? ”
Liu Shilang frowned when he heard this, the dog is a humble statement, how can he say that someone else's son is a dog? It is said that this young upstart of Wupin is unlearned and vulgar, and the rumors are true.
Liu Shilang reluctantly smiled and said: "Thank you Lord Fang for your concern, the dog's body is much better, but he has been depressed, Liu has no choice, so he sent him out of the capital and returned to his ancestral hometown to recuperate." ”
Fang Zheng finally relieved his heart when he heard this, and listening to Liu Shilang's tone, it seemed that he hadn't found out who the real murderer was. But in the final analysis, he and the fat man just tricked him into eating a meal of overlord chicken on the painting boat, one didn't beat him and the other didn't scold him, it was the thug who beat him on the painting boat, and he was sent by the emperor to do it, no matter from which point of view, he is not a murderer, right?
Fang Zheng comforted himself for a while, and suddenly became a lot harder. Yes, what is my heart? I didn't do anything bad, I want to take revenge on you to find the emperor, I'm not a murderer, this young master is as innocent as green vegetables and tofu, is it necessary to be weak-hearted? Thinking of this, Fang Zheng's waist straightened up a lot.
Of course, Liu Shilang didn't know the kung fu of this moment, the real murderer who killed his son had successfully finished playing tricks on himself, Liu Shilang smiled bitterly and arched his hand towards Fang Zheng, and said: "Liu is here to thank Lord Fang, although the management of the brothel is for the peace of the people and the stability of the capital, but from the perspective of Liu, Lord Fang is also avenging my hard-working son, Lord Fang has worked hard." ”
Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Lord Liu is polite, the errand that the emperor has explained, the lower officials can't do it, and they can avenge the eunuch for Lord Liu by the way, and the lower officials are also very happy." ”
Liu Shilang frowned again when he heard this, shook his head after thinking about it, and hurriedly said that the business was important, and he no longer bothered with this vulgar person about some trivial things.
"I don't know if Lord Fang has checked these days? Liu felt that this matter was not so simple, someone must have wanted to harm Liu, and the means were extremely cruel, and after Liu was killed, this person must have a very deep background in the court. I don't know when Liu offended such a minister of the DPRK and China. Liu Shilang gritted his teeth as he spoke.
This Liu Shilang thought quite far-reaching, and even the ministers of the court were implicated and became his imaginary enemy. He couldn't imagine that he would be killed, in fact, things were so simple, his son was too unlucky, and he met Young Master Ben, so that's it.
Fang Zheng saw Liu Shilang's appearance, his eyes rolled, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
An in-depth raid on the brothel will definitely offend many ministers of the court, and even the crown prince, and it will be perfunctory but make the emperor dissatisfied, and it is difficult to do things that please both ends, but if there is this Liu Shilang to help......
Fang Zheng smiled weirdly at Liu Shilang, laughing so much that Liu Shilang's heart was furious, why did this fang laugh so madly?
"Lord Liu, hehe, about the case of Lingzi being castrated, Xia Guan may have found out a little clue......" Fang Zheng smiled like a big bad wolf who only saw rabbits.
Liu Shilang was shocked when he heard this, he didn't care about the official's demeanor, he bounced up from the Taishi's chair, hurriedly walked in front of Fang Zheng, and said excitedly: "Is this true?" Can Lord Fang tell Liu? Liu is grateful! ”
Fang Zheng was embarrassed: "No, Xia Guan just came back from the palace and reported the development of the case to the emperor, this case is very important, and there are many officials involved, in order to avoid turmoil in the court, the emperor has issued a strict order to Xia Guan, not to leak a word to anyone, otherwise it will ......" Fang Zheng slashed his neck: "...... Slaughter all over the house! ”
Liu Shilang was disappointed when he heard this, his expression became lonely, and he sat back a little sluggishly, sullenly without saying a word.
Fang Zheng continued: "But the emperor also explained, this matter must continue to be investigated, because Lingzi was in a brothel, maybe the brothel in the capital can find more clues......
Hearing this, Liu Shilang turned from worry to joy, and looked at Fang Zheng with expectant eyes.
Fang Zheng was puzzled: "It's easy to say, but ...... Alas! Xiaguan will tell the truth, Lord Liu, you also know that there are ministers of the DPRK and China behind the brothels in the capital, check and check, Xiaguan is afraid of offending too many people, and the court is full of my enemies, how will I live in the future? You also know that someone assassinated me last time, the water in the brothel in the capital is too deep, and the lower officials are too timid to investigate again. ”
Liu Shilang secretly disdainful in his heart, I really don't know what is good about this kid, he is so valued by the emperor, greedy for money and lustful, and cowardly as a mouse, but such a person himself has to beg him, Liu Shilang feels quite aggrieved when he thinks about it.
Liu Shilang smiled and said, "Lord Fang is acting on orders, why worry too much? If Lord Fang feels that there is something inconvenient, Liu is willing to help Lord Fang come forward, I don't know what Lord Fang thinks? ”
Fang Zheng was waiting for this sentence, someone took the initiative to send it to the door to ask for help to carry the black cauldron, how rare is such an ancient living Lei Feng, if you don't make good use of it, wouldn't you be sorry for yourself?
Thinking about it, Fang Zheng said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "...... Isn't this good, Lord Liu is not afraid of offending the ministers of the DPRK and China? ”
Liu Shilang's face was flat, and he said with a little determination: "Liu Mou has already been disheartened, and after avenging the dog, he plans to resign and return to his hometown, guard the ancestral ancestral hall to repent and atone for his sins, and he can't offend anyone, Liu doesn't care anymore." My Liu family is already extinct, whether I live or not, and it doesn't even matter anymore. ”
What he wants is this kind of singleton spirit who is willing to cut off his body, Fang Zheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Liu Shilang, and exclaimed: "Lord Liu is high-spirited and bright, quite the style of an ancient sage, which really makes the lower officials admire, if Lord Liu is willing to come forward, the lower officials are a little sure that they will find out the real murderer who killed your son, but, hehe, there are some things that the lower officials will not come forward, and there is a lot of trouble for Lord Liu......"
Fang Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, the long-pending problem was taken over by the vengeful Liu Shilang in front of him, he couldn't help but say something, it's not okay not to let him carry this black cauldron, he is in a hurry with me. Is this the song "Carry the black pot and send him to death"?
Although things came too inexplicably, but finally in a good direction, Fang Zheng couldn't help but secretly thank God for his favor, when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, I didn't expect to come out again, hehe, so character is very important, this young master is a good character, God will give me such good luck.
Of course, I have to thank the Liu Shilang in front of me, after all, God is false, but this person who carries the black pot is real.
Next, Fang Zheng's eyes were full of sparks of gratitude, and he began to flatter Liu Shilang indiscriminately, the strength of the sycophant was so great, and the content was numb, so that Liu Shilang, who had been an official for many years, was also a little red-faced, and secretly shocked in his heart, this son is young, but his sycophant skills have reached the peak, no wonder he is so favored by the emperor, in the final analysis, this son will probably be a courtier in the future.
Fang Zheng naturally had his idea, and he was satisfied with this Liu Shilang, and he would be more willing to carry the black pot for the young master in the future, and after a few days, the Japanese young master will start to thoroughly investigate the Fengyue place in the whole capital, no matter what prince and Shangshu he is, they will all rectify it, and give them a lesson according to the emperor's wishes.
Of course, when the ministers of the DPRK and China were furious, they would find that the person who led the team to raid was actually Liu Shilang, but Young Master Fang was nowhere to be found, well, it was very beautiful.
Fang Zheng still felt a little guilty about Liu Shilang in his heart, and after finishing the matter, he asked Liu Shilang curiously: "If the real culprit found is a high-ranking and powerful minister in the middle of the court, how do you plan to deal with him?" ”
Liu Shilang obviously didn't think about such a problem, for him, the most important thing is how to find out the murderer, as for what to do after finding out, he hasn't thought about it carefully.
Liu Shilang frowned when he heard this, and said: "This Liu Mou didn't think that Liu's move would inevitably offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, even if the murderer is found, I'm afraid that no one is willing to help Liu, Liu Mou has only one person, this ......"
Saying that, Liu Shilang looked at Fang Zheng and asked Fang Zheng for advice: "...... Liu is alone, how to deal with it? Lord Fang is willing to teach me? The bigger the blow to him, the better, the smaller, the better......"
Fang Zheng frowned and thought for a long time, then slapped his thigh and gave Liu Shilang a good idea: "...... Three watches in the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, quietly, gently, you hang yourself at the door of his house alone, how about it? ”
