Chapter 21: The Storm (1)
(XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) Wu Zhi stared at Deng Yuanjue for a long time, and chuckled! "It's really worth thinking about whether to sell the lord for glory or endure humiliation, but for this king, no matter what kind of person you are, do you think I will keep you?"
Deng Yuanjue's face changed slightly, and he said, "Your king doesn't know how to know people well?" Even if the little one is a shameless villain, it has its own usefulness as a villain. β
Wu Zhi nodded slightly and said, "What you said also makes some sense. β
Deng Yuanjue's heart was relieved, and he kowtowed: "Thank you for your grace, the little ...... in the future" The words did not fall, and the round head fell to the ground very abruptly, dripping and turning a few times, as if the mouth was still open and closed.
Wu Zhi gently wiped the blood from the sword and smiled at Deng Yuanjue's corpse, "It's a pity that this king doesn't like to leave hidden dangers by his side." β
Luda smiled: "This bald donkey doesn't look like a good person, it's clean and good!" β
Wu Zhi looked at Luda's bare head and shook his head helplessly. Wang Jin also pursed his lips and snickered.
Lin Jingluo, Du Tidian, Li Zhizhou saw that Wu Zhi was still laughing and chatting with people one moment ago, and the next moment he cut off the other party's head, and his heart was cold. Du Tidian and Li Zhizhou didn't feel anything, after all, it was the first time they met your king, and the legendary king seemed to be the kind of warrior who killed people without blinking. Lin Jingluo was taken aback, he also met Wu Zhi a few times during this time, Wu Zhi gave him the impression that he had always been gentle and upright, and he didn't want your king to have such a ruthless side. Lin Jing shuddered slightly, you have to pay more attention in the future, don't inadvertently offend your king.
The next day,
Wu Zhi sat in the hall of Fang Mansion, slowly looking at the pamphlets left by Fang La, how much the officials everywhere ate Fang La's filial piety Wu Zhi didn't care, what he really cared about was the huge smuggling network under Fang La. The booklet is very detailed, not to mention the territory, overseas buyers are listed one by one, and the real identities of those buyers are mostly nobles from those countries, but there are few cloth clothes like Fang La. Wu Zhi smiled and shook his head, saying that in this era, the underworld is difficult to mix, and you have to be powerful to engage in some smuggling and trading.
Outside the hall, the soldiers who raided Fangfu were busy, and Lin Jingluo personally commanded it. The courtyards of the Fang Mansion were full of noisy sounds.
"Your king Chitose. Please take a look at the list of raids. Lin Jing's slightly cautious words pulled Wu Zhi back from his contemplation.
Wu Zhi took the list and smiled, his subordinates were busy all night last night, and the Fang Mansion had already been emptied by himself, and the rest was just a faΓ§ade. Lin Jingluo naturally knew it.
Glanced at the list. Wu Zhi nodded and said, "Jiangnan seized the giant thief's lair, Lin Jingluo was the first to take the lead, and the officials of Liangzhejiang Road also had the merit to assist. Looking back, Lin Jingluo wrote the chapter, and the name of the king is. Wu Zhi knows the truth of "the sedan chair carries the person", and he has reaped great benefits, so he always has to ask these people to drink soup.
Lin Jingluo smiled on his face, and said: "This first merit is naturally your king's, and the lower officials are just running errands, and they have a little merit." β
Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "Lin Jingluo, you just do what this king says." "For Wu Zhi, it is not a big deal to eradicate a small smuggling recklessness, it is better to be a favor. And if something goes wrong in the future, there will be a scapegoat.
Lin Jing saw that Wu Zhi was indeed not pretending to be a commissioner, so he agreed with a smile. This raid on Fang's Mansion has copied out Wanguan's property, and Fang's Mansion has been confiscated, which is also a big case. Of course I am glad that I can do the first work.
Wu Zhi remembered Du Ti and the two of them, and said, "Did Li Zhizhou hand over his resignation?" β
Lin Jingluo nodded and said: "It has been handed over, and I am afraid that Du Tidian's resignation will take a few days." β
Wu Zhi had already asked Du Tidian to find out about Sister Jin's case yesterday, and it was better for him to handle this kind of case, even if there was no evidence, he would make up evidence. Naturally, the resignation will be postponed for a few days.
Wu Zhi said: "Yes." I just don't know who the court will send to succeed him. "Thinking about the Great Song Dynasty, there is nothing else, but the idle officials are handful, it is estimated that after the two resign and enter Beijing, these two positions will definitely cause disputes. Shook his head with a wry smile.
Lin Jingluo said: "Jiangnan is rich, and there has always been a vacancy here...... Hehe", no more. Although Wu Zhi has his handle in his hands, and he thinks that he is a noble king, he still can't say it too thoroughly.
Wu Zhi naturally understood, nodded with a smile, and said, "In a few days, the king of Japan will invite the officials of Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan East Road to a banquet, and it will be regarded as reparation." I've been here for a few days, but I haven't seen everyone. β
Lin Jing said slightly: "Then the next official will go back to handle it, and then inform Chitose when it is ready." β
Observation of the secret room in the backyard of the Division.
Wu Zhi looked at a stack of thick lists, and hummed a little song proudly, this time he really made a windfall, and hundreds of thousands of yuan were copied out of cash, plus all kinds of jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, I am afraid that there are millions of yuan. It seems that the life of the king, who has been stretched thin, is coming to an end.
"200,000 guan to repair the defense of Wujiazhuang, and 200,000 guan will be allocated to our 'Mu Family Gang' to recruit heroes and the liquidity of private goods trading. Wu Zhi said as he pondered. As for those jewelry and antiques, after I picked them all, they were all transported back to the secret room of the royal palace in the capital. β
Wang Jin nodded, although it was the first time he heard the word "liquidity", but he also understood the meaning.
Wu Zhi looked at Wang Jin and sighed: "It's a bit wronged to take care of the 'Mu Family Gang'...... Brother Wang" Wu Zhi thought that people were originally a five-grade guard, but they had to go to the rivers and lakes, and he was really a little sorry in his heart.
Wang Jin hurriedly said: "Chitose doesn't have to be like this, after the battle of Wujiazhuang that day, Wang Jin has already sworn that this life will be the king's in the future!" can serve the prince for the work of dogs and horses, Wang Jin is very happy. β
Wu Zhi nodded and said, "The affairs of the 'Mu Family Gang' have the Lao Wang brothers. Yuexizhuang suddenly lost power, and there must be a lot of people who want to come to all parties to target this piece of fat, and Brother Wang has to worry more about it these days. β
Wang Jin said categorically: "Don't worry, Wang Jin will not let these small nights succeed!" β
Wu Zhi smiled and nodded.
In the bedroom, under the red candle.
Wu Sik and Jin Lian sat on a bench covered with thick soft cushions.
Watching Wu Zhi take out handfuls of Jiaozi from his arms, living the image of an upstart, Jin Lian couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Wu Zhi took out the handover in his arms and piled it on the table, and smiled, "Good lady, count how many there are, your father-in-law is really rich!" β
Jin Lian didn't want to sweep away Wu Zhi's prosperity. said: "The minister said that he made a fortune, and the amount must be not small. As he spoke, he counted. Wu Zhi leaned back in his chair and listened to the quiet Jin Lian's soft voice counting. The heart is peaceful and fulfilling, and there is a lot of that kind of husband who makes money outside. Go home and give it to the state of mind of a virtuous wife. Maybe this is the real life.
"Xianggong. Where did you get all this money? Jin Lian asked in surprise after a small count.
Wu Zhi looked at Jin Lian's small mouth that opened slightly because of surprise, and a beautiful picture quickly appeared in his mind, and he shook his head, knowing that Jin Lian would not agree. Take Jin Lian's hand. said: "Let's wash up first, and we'll tell you later!" β
Jin Lian's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and let Wu Zhi pull inside......
Quanzhou, as the largest trading port of the Great Song Dynasty. Naturally, there is also the most prosperous bazaar in the Great Song Dynasty, merchants from all over the world gather, most of them are bulk trades, and later because the rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River like to come to Quanzhou to buy some overseas rare things, Quanzhou North Street gradually formed a special shop for buying and selling overseas goods.
Wu Zhi, Jin Lian, Zhu'er and others were wandering on Quanzhou North Street at this time.
Pingbai got hundreds of thousands of money, Wu Zhi naturally wanted to take Jin Lian to buy a good deal, and two palace ladies dressed as maids behind Jin Lian followed and served, and Zhu'er chatted with one of them from time to time. However, that Gong'e was quite restrained in front of Wu Zhi and Jin Lian, and carefully peeked at Wu Zhi and Jin Lian's faces from time to time when she spoke.
Wu Zhi also learned today that this palace e's name is Xing'er. When I talked to Zhu'er today about coming to Quanzhou to play, Zhu'er asked pitifully if she could bring her sister Gong'e, and when she asked, she knew that Zhu'er and this Gong'e named Xing'er had gotten along very well recently, it seemed that Xing'er had helped Zhu'er what she had done, and asked Zhu'er what she had helped her, Zhu'er blushed and refused to say anything, Wu Zhi wanted to tease her again, but Jin Zhi couldn't see what grievances Zhu'er suffered. Smiled and answered. Wu Zhi had no choice but to give up.
Next to Wu Zhi's five people are several selected palace guards dressed as entourage, and the "desperate Saburo" Shi Xiu is also among them, speaking of which, Wu Zhi's subordinates are now the guards who can be called first-class masters, and the rest of the good hands have been sent to Wang Jin's hands.
Jin Lian saw those exotic trinkets, she couldn't help it, and every time she entered a store, she had to pick out the ones that fit her eyes and buy some, most of which were bought for Zhu'er, Qiqiao and Xuanjing. Qiqiao and Xuan Jing seem to have come to Quanzhou a few days ago, it seems that Li Yi came to Quanzhou to do something, Qiqiao likes to join in the fun, so he will accompany him.
After shopping for a while, Zhu'er leaned over and said, "Master, Sister Xing'er and I want to go to the shop over there to have a look." β
Wu Zhi saw that the direction of Zhu'er's finger was some shops specializing in rouge gouache, and shook his head and said: "These things are still good for our Da Song Dynasty, and the barbarian things are not beautiful when they are used to get pimples, and then Xiaozhu'er will become ugly." β
Zhu'er's little face changed color when he was frightened, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Then Zhu'er still won't go." β
Jin Lian smiled: "Don't listen to our master's nonsense, go ahead, it's just a fresh picture today." β
Zhu'er said: "Zhu'er is not going. β
Jin Lian glanced at Wu Zhi with disgust, "Xianggong also knows that Zhu'er has always regarded your words as a golden rule, and he always likes to tease her." β
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "I'm not talking nonsense today, the things on my face are still reassuring with our Great Song." But today is just to have fun, go buy some, at most you don't have to go back. β
Zhu'er listened to Wu Zhi's permission, so he answered, pulled Xing'er and walked towards the rouge pins.
Wu Zhi and Jin Lian continued their shopping journey with great interest, and the two entered a shop where the ornaments were very exquisite, all kinds of shells painted in color, each exquisite and chic. Wu Zhi and Jin Lian were laughing and talking about the big shell that was painted with a beautiful picture, and Xing'er suddenly stumbled in, shouting, "Master, madam...... Bamboo ...... Something happened to Zhu'er......"
Wu Zhi and Jin Lian were both taken aback, and asked in unison, "What's wrong?" β
Xing'er knelt down in fear, "The slave should die, the slave should be ashamed",
Wu Zhi stretched out his hand and slapped him over, and said angrily: "Tell the point!" β
Xing'er was dizzy after being beaten, but her mouth became smart: "In the jewelry store over there, someone is pestering Miss Zhu'er!" β
Wu Zhi didn't say a word. Picked her up and said, "Lead the way!" Then he turned back to the guards and said, "Stay here to protect Madame!" As he spoke, he walked out with his apricots.
Shi Xiuwei next to him weighed it, glanced at the two guards, and the two guards understood and followed behind Wu Zhi.
Jin Lian put down the shell in her hand. I followed along. Shi Xiu and a few people accompanied him, but although Jin Lian was anxious, she couldn't keep up with Wu Zhi's stride, and she fell behind after a while.
Rushed to the rouge shop that Apricot said. Outside the door, I heard a man inside laughing proudly, "What? Can't get the money? Then go back to the king of this county to pay off the debt, haha" The tone is very strange, obviously not the Middle-earth clan.
Wu Zhi threw Apricot away. When he dodged into the rouge shop, he saw a young man in gorgeous clothes holding Zhu'er's arm with his hand, smiling proudly.
Wu Zhi said coldly: "Let go of her!" With that, he walked over.
Several entourages beside the young man came to stop him, and the two guards behind Wu Zhi greeted him, and the two sides fought in ping-pong, and the young man's men had some kung fu. There were so many people that the two guards were forced to retreat again and again. Wu Zhi snorted coldly, and was about to go up to make a move, but suddenly heard a shout outside the door, "What's wrong!" What's going on? β
With the words, a green-robed official came in, followed by more than a dozen sergeants, and the small rouge shop was crowded, and the young man's entourage stopped one after another. The two guards looked at Wu Zhi's eyes and retreated.
The official came in and glanced around, shouting, "What's the matter? Who dared to disturb His Royal Highness the King of Goryeo! β
Wu Zhili ignored him, slowly walked towards Zhu'er, looked at the young man grabbing Zhu'er's arm and said lightly: "If you don't let go, you'll be in trouble!" β
The young man smiled: "It's not the king of this county who bullies people!" It's this girl who owes me money! If you don't have money, you naturally want to be a servant for me! β
Zhu'er opened her mouth to explain, but Wu Zhi had already said, "I've already given you a chance!" With the words, Wu Zhi had a black long sword in his backhand, and slashed at the young man's arm like lightning, no one expected that Wu Zhi would dare to use a weapon to hurt people in front of the official, but fortunately, the young man's subordinates reacted quickly, and pulled him down in a hurry, the young man staggered back a few steps, and the long sword slashed in front of him, and his face changed dramatically.
Wu Zhi pulled Zhu'er behind him and said, "No need to explain, I'm here!" Zhu'er nodded vigorously, only then did he realize that the old man could not see his movements, and looked at Wu Zhi's back, which seemed to be so tall and wide. Like a towering mountain, it can shield itself from any wind and rain. Hiding behind him, no one in the world can hurt himself, gently leaning on Wu Zhi's back, his heart is infinitely warm.
Wu Zhi felt Zhu'er leaning on his back and trembling slightly. Thinking that she was afraid, she became even more angry in her heart, and looked coldly at the green-robed official, and said, "Where is your official residence and what is your name?" "The green robe is served by officials under the six grades, and in Wu Zhi's eyes, it is really a small official like a sesame mung bean.
The green-robed official saw that Wu Zhi dared to hurt people in front of him, and was shocked, so he looked at Wu Zhi carefully, and then found that he was afraid that he would not be able to afford other people's clothes for several lifetimes. In my heart, I was just the head of the Ministry of Rites and Rites from the Sixth Grade, and the official was humble, so I didn't want to provoke the characters I couldn't afford to provoke, and said in my mouth: "Huang Zhongting, the director of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, has come to Quanzhou to welcome the King of Goryeo, who is it?" The tone was already very polite.
Wu Zhi nodded, this Huang Chief's eyes were still bright, he looked at the young man, and said, "You are the king of Goryeo?" "The king of Goryeo is the son of the lord of Goryeo.
The young man came back from his fright and shouted, "Master Huang! You have to be the master of this king! β
Master Huang couldn't figure out Wu Zhi's identity, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to say in a high-sounding manner: "Please tell the county king what happened." β
At this time, there was a period of chaos outside the rouge shop, Wu Zhi knew that it must be Shi Xiu and they arrived, and clashed with the guard sergeant outside, and sure enough, with a scream, Shi Xiu jumped in, and saw that the king was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Director Huang is already sweating profusely, what kind of person is this guy, he obviously doesn't take the government seriously, and he doesn't take the attack on the official mission seriously at all, so he has to be careful to deal with it today. Even if the Goryeo stick is the king of the county, he can't touch him at all. But if you want to provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked, your little black yarn will not be there if you say no.
The young man is the third son of the lord of Goryeo, named Wang Chenggui, who has been favored by his father since he was a child, and this time he came to the Great Song Dynasty in addition to paying tribute, but also because his father in order to designate a marriage, and the Li family of the Goryeo real power family to marry, I heard that the girl of the Li family and the future father-in-law are now also in the Great Song Dynasty, specially came to meet the father-in-law, and gave a dowry. As soon as I arrived in Quanzhou today, I was full of interest and played with great interest, and met bamboo and apricots in the rouge shop. He saw that Zhu'er was beautiful and intended to get acquainted, and when he saw that Zhu'er had chosen a box of rouge, he had to buy it at a high price.
Who knew that Xing'er was very docile in the palace, and this time she was out of the palace. Seeing that someone dared to grab things with your king's thousand-year-old personal maid and his own backer, he scolded Wang Chenggui at the exit. didn't listen to Zhu'er's dissuasion, and competed with him. As a result, of course, Wang Chenggui was rich and rich, bought the rouge, and wanted to transfer it to Zhu'er, but Zhu'er didn't accept it, and knocked the rouge over when he refused. Wang Chenggui was already angry with Xing'er, and seeing that the little beauty didn't give herself a little face, he was annoyed and angry, and threw aside his father's words that he had warned him not to cause trouble in the Great Song Dynasty. took out the true colors that were rampant in Goryeo, forced Zhu'er to compensate himself for rouge, and if he didn't pay for it, he would go back with himself to be a maid.
Wang Chenggui listened to Huang's words, and was wording how to say it in order to stand on his feet. Suddenly, Wu Zhi said: "There is no need to talk about it, I will pay you how much money it is!" β
Director Huang was stunned, he didn't expect Wu Zhi to be so easy to speak, but he didn't look at his performance.
Wang Chenggui saw that Wu Zhi was willing to lose money, and sighed in his heart, the little beauty still flew away after all, and said: "It's just ten dollars!" β
Wu Zhi nodded and threw him a handicap.
Wang Chenggui took it, looked at the number, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, the king of this county will let her go." He turned to Director Huang and said, "Director Huang, let's go." β
Director Huang breathed a sigh of relief, it would be good to be able to solve it like this.
Wu Zhi suddenly said: "The king of the county seems to have forgotten one thing. β
Wang Chengzhu turned his head in astonishment and said, "What's the matter?" β
