Chapter 316: Trickery
Due to Zhu Zhanji's approval and support, when he left Wuying Palace, Zhang Yue finally let go of the biggest stone in his heart. Zhu Zhanji, who came out one step later on the other side, suddenly disappeared without a trace of his good mood after listening to Eunuch Huang's words, replaced by a haze and anger on his face.
If an ordinary person died, it would be fine, but those two old palace maids have been serving since he was born, although their mouths are broken, after all, they are still close to people, how can they say that they are dead? Even if there are often people in this deep palace who die unexplained, there are actually people who silently stretch out their hands to their side, which is simply a provocation!
"Huang Run!"
Hearing this voice, Eunuch Huang's heart suddenly shrank. On weekdays, Zhu Zhanji calls him casually, often using the word you as a reference, and even calls him Lao Huang when he is in a good mood, how many years has he not heard of his name? At this moment, he hurriedly stepped forward and bent down deeply, knowing that this time the imperial grandson was really angry.
"Send someone to bury them first, and then you lead the minifigures to investigate carefully, and make sure to find out!"
Mafu Street, Qincha Xingyuan, North Courtyard, upper room warm pavilion.
At noon, seeing the little eunuch carrying a food box and setting up food on the kang table, the four dishes and one soup were steaming, but Lu Feng had no appetite at all, just sat there and leaned on the pillow and frowned. Cheng Jiu on the side saw that the food was ready, but the boss didn't mean to move the chopsticks at all, so he simply made a gesture to push out the few people who were waiting, and then stepped forward.
"Father-in-law is thinking about Lord Xiao Zhang going to see the emperor's grandson?"
Glancing at the kang table, and seeing that there were fat chickens and big ducks in the bowl again, Lu Feng suddenly sneered angrily: "A bunch of stupid people, it's not enough to toss those greasy dishes in the palace all day long, and I don't know how to change the taste of new dishes after I come out!" Seeing Cheng Jiu half-hunched beside him, he said hatefully, "What is there to worry about, our family is not interested in the credit of Hengzhu's side, I just planned to give it to him." However, our family promised him so many benefits, and he actually entered the palace by himself! ”
With the distance under Cheng Jiu's eyes, he could even see Lu Feng's eyebrows, and even feel the rough air coming out of Lu Feng's nose, so he naturally knew that this person was not lightly angry. According to his identity, he should echo a few words at this time, but his eyes rolled, but he said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't be angry, maybe Lord Xiao Zhang has other plans." If he comes back and never mentions entering the palace today, it will not be too late for you to settle accounts with him at that time......"
"Little bunny, are you his man or mine!"
Lu Fengdeng, who was already annoyed, was furious, and simply pushed the kang table to the ground, and all the cups, plates and dishes fell to the ground for a while, and the sound of ping-pong continued. Even though there was such a big movement inside, there was no sound outside the door curtain, as if everyone outside was frightened. After a long time, a cautious voice came in.
"Father-in-law, Lord Xiao Zhang is back, as if he is coming to our side."
"Let's just say that our family is taking a nap...... Wait! Lu Feng, who was originally angry, suddenly changed his words, and after a moment of silence, he got off the kang, but he carefully avoided a mess, and only when he reached the door did he turn his head to the stunned Chen Jiu and instructed, "Clean up this place well, and I'll settle accounts with you when I see people, hum!" ”
Since this warm pavilion had just been tossed by himself, Lu Feng had to warn a few little eunuchs in the hall after he went out. When he sat down on the Taishi chair in the middle, he saw Zhang Yue enter the door, and immediately stood up with a smile, without showing the grandeur on his face. After talking cordially, he saw that Zhang Yue was still carrying a burden in his hand, and immediately pretended to be curious and asked, "Little Zhang, what is ...... here?"
Zhang Yue noticed that the smell of food wafted out of the inner room, and heard the sound of squirming and tidying up, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, and his face was still silent. At this time, when he asked about this, he said with a smile: "I heard that Father-in-law Lu has been infected with wind and cold for several days, and the imperial grandson ordered me to bring a Shangdang ginseng back. This is last year's tribute, authentic 20-year-old mountain ginseng, the head, face, hands and feet are only a little worse, not the ordinary goods in those pharmacies can be compared, the most can nourish the body and replenish vitality. ”
Hearing this, Lu Feng was suddenly surprised and delighted, the anger just now had already been thrown out of the clouds. He took the burden in Zhang Yue's hand with both hands, and when he reached out to untie the burden, he suddenly shouted at a few little eunuchs in the house: "Go out, our family has something important to discuss with Lord Xiao Zhang." Cheng Jiu, I'll clean up the inside later, go outside and guard it! ”
When the little eunuchs all crept out of the door, Cheng Jiufang came out of it. Just in a hurry to clean up, the hem of his robe was stained with a lot of oil, and he rushed out before he had time to change it, and after saluting Zhang Yue, he retreated to the outside door to guard in embarrassment. Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue knew that there must be some stories in the Shicai Warm Pavilion.
"Our family is just a eunuch, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun is so generous, it is reasonable that our family has to go to the palace to thank him. It's just that now I have a cold wind, but I don't dare to go, in case I make some trouble in the palace, but I can't afford it. When he said this, Lu Feng showed a meaningful expression on his face.
"I said the same thing, otherwise when I entered the palace today, I would definitely invite Grandpa Lu to go with me." Zhang Yue paused slightly, and then lowered his voice, "In the past few days, my father-in-law has been pretending to be sick, and I really don't want to go." Today, His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun gave this ginseng, in fact, there is another reason. Father-in-law, listen to me......"
Lu Feng has been in the palace for many years and knows that this ginseng is also expensive and cheap. Shangdang Liaodong ginseng is the best, followed by Qinghe ginseng, and then Korean ginseng. Shangdang ginseng has always been a regular tribute, and it has always been only used by the royal family, even if the prince and uncle are given it, it is extremely rare. No matter how arrogant he was, after the ecstasy, he felt that this reward was too heavy, not to mention that Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's grandson, should know that he was pretending to be sick. So Zhang Yue's explanation, he immediately felt a lot more comfortable in his heart. When 1510 listened to all the arrangements, his small eyes widened even more, and finally he took a deep breath.
Leave those guards in Beijing and go to Songjiang Mansion and Ningbo Mansion with Zhang Yue by yourself? What are you kidding, when he returned to Beijing from Qingzhou last time, so many people obeyed, and he almost died, let alone walking in such a small service? He opened his mouth and wanted to object, but suddenly saw Zhang Yue's confident expression, and then he thought that the other party had already met the imperial grandson.
Zhu Zhanji even took out the ginseng of the party, undoubtedly letting him go with him by pretending to be sick, if he retreated at this juncture, in the eyes of that master, he would become a third-rate commodity with no guts, wouldn't this hard work be in vain?
Gritting his teeth, he raised his head and asked, "Lord Xiao Zhang, did we really leave everyone here?" ”
"There is a way that the white dragon fish costume is played by shrimp, how could I put my father-in-law in that kind of danger?"
Zhang Yue smiled slightly, and put out the set of rhetoric that he had prepared before. Hearing this, Lu Feng suddenly realized, held his chin and thought about it carefully, feeling that this link should be in the slightest, but there was no problem with safety, and he could get a group of people, his tense face gradually slowed down, but he was grateful to Zhang Yue for this thoughtful design.
"Ahem, Lord Xiao Zhang, our family is an illiterate rough person, I don't have so much knowledge, I thought you left our family in the house just now, so I got angry and smashed things. Now we know that instead of having bad intentions, you have good intentions, and you are completely to blame. We don't say anything else, even if this is to make amends for you! ”
Seeing Lu Feng suddenly bow to the ground, Zhang Yue hurriedly helped him up with both hands, and said two more kind words in his mouth. Although Lu Feng frankly admitted that he was suspicious and angry just now, he still would not take it for granted that the future governor of Dongchang had already been wary of himself. After all, he wouldn't be so crazy if he gambled on the character of a eunuch.
With power in hand, how many people wouldn't think about excluding dissidents?
Ying Tianfu was in charge of the money and food in the capital and the surrounding land, so although the officials in it were recruited from the people, in addition to the dispatch of many fast arresters, they had to select a group from the people. Although the monthly rice is pitiful, and if you can't do a good job, you have to make a deadline to catch up with the board at every turn, and once you enter this line, three generations will not be able to take the imperial examination, but many people who are unwilling to farm or work hard still regard it as a shortcut. After all, there is oil and water in this official mansion, and the little money leaked between the palms of the big people is enough for them to live.
Therefore, early in the morning, many people gathered on Ningdong Street, which was adjacent to the Yingtianfu Yayan Martial Arts Field. In this kind of good season, the businessmen who do small business will naturally not let go, so they set up more than a dozen tables and dozens of stools along the base of the wall early, set up a linoleum greenhouse, eat tea, and cook noodles and wontons. On a cold day, except for the first-class poor people who have no money in their pockets, no one wants to stand in the limelight and wait, so many people take out a few dollars to sit inside and drink hot tea, and the richer ones sell a bowl of wontons and eat them snoring. In a few moments, almost all the tables were full.
"This time, the government wants ten arresters, ten fast hands, and there are more than seventy or eighty people here!"
"What's the solution? After practicing a good martial arts, unless you go to join the army, will you still go to farming? If you can be in Beijing, you still have the idea of killing the enemy and making military achievements, but now you are either in the field or on the border. It's better to find food in the yamen, although it is harder, you can still have some oil and water, it is better than being exploited in the army! ”
"That's ...... Hey, it's not the Three Tigers of Xicheng over there, they're actually here too! Fortunately, they have three of them. ”
While the people at the tables here were talking, the three burly men who had just arrived there also walked under the linoleum greenhouse. Seeing that every table was occupied, the big man at the head suddenly frowned. At a glance, he saw two young men with white faces and obviously no martial arts sitting at the most sheltered table, and they immediately stepped forward with fierce faces.
"You two, get out of your seat!"
