Chapter 180: Taking charge of the Zhu family
In the south of Bianliang and in the west of Qingcheng, there is a place named Fuxiang.
There are many encounters in life, but only one encounter can be unforgettable. Once, there were two people who met, one remembered deeply, and the other looked back and forgot about it, so there was the saddest tragedy in the world. If you meet, one person silently stays together, and the other silently pursues, so love blossoms and bears fruit, as beautiful as heaven.
Fuxiang Tan Water Lake, although it is winter, it is still flowing slowly, a woman in white sits on the shore with her legs bent, and the stones in her hand are constantly thrown away.
The woman is stunning, her temples are like clouds, and there is a string of crystal gem chains hanging on her smooth forehead.
It's been almost four months, and I don't know how His Highness is doing, how are you doing? Do you remember her? Zhu Lian has never forgotten that man, although he is sometimes very bad, sometimes cold-blooded and ruthless.
I still remember that on the bell tower of Daxiangguo Temple, the handsome and extraordinary brocade robe boy gently shook the folding fan, carried a glow on his back, and said two words.
"Marry you!"
Those two words are still echoing in her ears, just like yesterday, the beautiful Tanshui Lake, just like her mood at this time, has no waves. The long show fluttered in the wind, a little messy, a little cold. Tightening the white long sleeves, Zhu Lian smiled softly, this smile, the world was silent, and everything lost its color.
The hateful Highness, he is so domineering, he obviously loves deeply, but he never wants to bow his head. But Zhu Lian likes his domineering, as long as he wants it, even if he is infamous for eternity, he will not hesitate to do it.
If she doesn't marry, her Royal Highness is willing to raise a long knife and slaughter the Fuxiang Zhu family. Zhu Lian misses this friendship, because she knows deeply that this man has lofty ambitions and wants to raise troops in the northwest. Arrive at the iron hooves of the Liao people. He wants to be in charge of the Central Plains. Create another iron-blooded Great Song. He has ambitions, so he wants fame, but for her Zhu Lian, he would rather be a butcher.
There are too many pities in the world, because one silently pays, and the other does not cherish it. Zhu Lian is a smart woman, and it is difficult to find a bosom friend in this world, let alone meet a man who is so affectionate. So she has to cherish and hold this man's heart tightly.
No matter where he is, no matter how many women there are around him, she Zhu Lian must be the most important. Su Yingwen, Cui Niannu, Zhang Zhenniang, Pan Jinlian, Yurou, they are all very good, but she Zhu Lian will not give up her status, because in the world of feelings, they are all selfish, and the position of the concubine of the Chu Wangfu must be her Zhu Lian's.
The wind blows and the lake surges. Zhu Lian threw all the stones in his hand into the lake and stood up. Walking gracefully towards the carriage.
As soon as the horse galloped over, the knight immediately ran straight towards Zhu Lian, the man was unkempt and carrying a burden. When he came closer, the man brushed off the dust on his body, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted respectfully.
"Villain Meng Xuan, I've seen Zhu Niangzi!"
"Well, but Your Highness has something urgent?" Zhu Lian saw that Meng Heng's face was full of dust, so he guessed something, this His Royal Highness is really good, and only now did he think of coming to her.
Meng Xuan didn't answer, he untied the burden, then tore open the thick cloth lining, and took out a letter from inside, "Lady, this is for you from Your Highness, before you came, Your Highness said that after reading the letter, the lady will know how to do it." β
Zhu Lian took the letter and touched it, it was very thin, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning, it took so long to get a letter, don't you know how to write more? pinched the letter and came to the carriage, and her own maid helped Zhu Lian into the carriage. Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Lian tore open the belief and pinched out a note from inside. After a glance, Zhu Niangzi's mouth was slightly upturned, and her frowning brows slowly relaxed.
"Lack of food, I miss you so much!"
Five words, two words on the top, and three words on the bottom, I'm afraid this is the most concise letter she Zhu Lian has received in her life. If it's a thought, why don't you write more lovesick words?
Lifting the curtain, Zhu Lian said with a smile, "Go back and tell His Highness that the grain will be sent to Yongning County in the future, and let him send someone to pick up the grain as soon as possible." Also, let him know that if he is short of paper, I can give him some. β
The carriage slowly moved away, but Meng Xuan stood under the tree and touched his head, he understood the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence was confused. Your Highness doesn't have a hobby of writing, and there will be a shortage of paper?
In a moment, the luxurious carriage had already driven into Fu Xiang, and with the support of the maid Zhilan, Zhu Lian got off the car and came to the Zhu family's grain depot in the city.
Zhilan accompanies the bead curtain all day long, and naturally knows a lot about her lady's thoughts, seeing that no one is paying attention everywhere, she whispered, "Lady, do you really want to transport grain to Your Highness?" Although the lady can call the shots in this matter, it's just that the uncle in the family asks about the input, so what should I do? β
Zhilan is a delicate girl, and she is also a clever woman with a good look, so Zhu Lian chose her to be her personal maid among many maids. Now hearing Zhilan say this, Zhu Lian also smiled with satisfaction, "It's not easy for you to think of this, but who said that I would give the grain to His Highness for free?" Rest assured, Your Highness will pay, and it will be quite impressive! β
The reason for this judgment is that Zhu Lian also has his own ideas, His Royal Highness is far away in Guanzhong, and what he lacks is not only food, with His Highness's wisdom, he will definitely send the money to buy other materials in the name of paying for food.
"Lady so sure?"
"Of course, if His Highness doesn't do this, then it won't be him!" Zhu Lian was very confident, Zhilan was a little curious, obviously thousands of miles away, but the lady always seemed to know His Highness's thoughts. The lady has always thought highly of herself, how good should she be to be a man she likes?
However, Zhilan has never really faced His Royal Highness, and everything she understands is what she has heard from others. In the past, the lady often messed with His Royal Highness, but rarely took her.
After drinking tea at the counter in the warehouse for a while, the warehouse manager hurried over. Zhu Lian put down the teacup and said softly, "Steward Liao, you go to count the grain depot, and tomorrow you will transport 30,000 stone rice grains to Yongning County!" β
Steward Liao was obviously stunned, 30,000 stone of rice grain was not a small amount, so he asked with a little worry, "30,000 stones?" Lady, isn't it too much, just in case"
"Huh? Is Steward Liao doubting my words? Sue sΓΉ to you, it is 30,000 stones. You are also an old man of the Zhu family, you have some words. I don't want to say it too explicitly. In a word. Since I am in charge of the affairs of the Zhu family, I don't want my subordinates to have too much thought. β
Zhu Lian's words were not sharp, but he heard Liao Guan break out in a cold sweat afterwards. I have heard for a long time that the eldest lady of the Zhu family is as shrewd as a man, and it is true.
Zhu Jianuo's big family business, the relationship is also complicated, take this grain depot as an example, not only Zhu Lian is in charge. Who wouldn't want to get involved with those uncles in the clan?
"The lady is angry, the villain doesn't dare, since the head of the family has an order, the big and small affairs are handed over to the big lady, and the villain doesn't dare to think about it!"
"It's good to know!" Zhu Lian gave a few more instructions, and then led Zhilan out of the grain depot, but as soon as he returned to the carriage, Zhu Lian's originally kind and delicate face cooled down, "Zhilan, let people check Liao Qingnan." I want to know who he was in contact with and what he did. β
"Yes!" Zhilan understood in her heart. The lady is going to remove Liao Qingnan and replace him with her own person.
That night, Zhu Lian ate something and returned to the boudoir, at this time Zhilan was already waiting quietly in the room, and after helping Zhu Lian to sit down, she said slowly, "Lady, that Liao Qingnan has a close relationship with the third uncle, and this person also has a relationship with the old Liu family in the capital, and in October last year, he also sold 10,000 stone rice grain to the old Liu family. As for how much benefit the Liao steward and the third uncle received from that batch of grain, the maid has not yet found out. β
"Well, that's enough, hehe, the third uncle is good, he should be a thief!"
The next day, Zhu Lian gathered all the people in charge of the Zhu family, and everyone thought that Zhu Lian wanted to talk about the difficulty of transporting silk to the north this year, but who knew that at the beginning, Zhu Lian pointed the finger at the third uncle Zhu Guichang.
"Third uncle, you conspired with Liao Qingnan to resell the rice and grain in the grain depot, and sold it to Lao Liu's family at a low price to make personal gains. If the third uncle has a heart, he should hand over the things in his hands to Uncle Lin himself, don't make it too difficult for Fenya, okay? β
Zhu Lian's face was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest panic, and at this time, Zhu Guichang could only accept his fate except for sighing that his niece was amazing. If the evidence is really put on the table, then he will not be able to stay in the Zhu family.
In one day, Zhu Guichang's affairs fell into the hands of Zhu Guilin, and Liao Qingnan's position was also replaced by Zhu. At this time, the Zhu family also thoroughly saw Zhu Lian's methods.
On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, Zhao Yougong ushered in an important person in Tongzhou City, who was the new Tongzhou judge Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi entered the same state, and Fan Zeng also understood how terrible Zhao Yougong was. From now on, Tongzhou will be in charge of Fan Zeng on the surface, but in fact, he has to listen to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi Zhang Shiping, after more than ten years of silence, showed his edge again, and at this time he was nearly forty years old, like a black heavy sword that washed away the light. The heavy sword has no edge, and with it, it can also sweep the world!
In the Jinling Palace, Zhao Yougong and Zhang Yi drank a reception wine, and they also introduced their subordinates during the banquet. There are so many people in the same state, I'm afraid that except for Yang Zaixing, there are really not many people who are convinced. After all, Zhang Shiping has such courtesy when he first arrived. However, Zhao Yougong is not afraid at all, after a long time, everyone will be convinced after seeing Zhang Yi's methods.
At that time, the banquet dispersed, and Zhao Yougong wanted to talk with Zhang Yi for a while, but who would have thought that Zhang Yi would keep his mouth shut, and sit on the shore and write something diligently. Standing behind Zhang Yi and looking at it twice, Zhao Xiaojunwang's face turned a little dark.
"Sir, are you too anxious? When he first came to Tongzhou, he wrote a bad word about the king. If you write it, you can write it, can it be reliable, what Qinglou Chu Pavilion, this Tongzhou City is not Bianliang, what good goods can there be, this king is just hungry and doesn't choose to eat, is it so unbearable? β
"Huh? Your Highness, can you not disturb Zhang? As he spoke, Zhang Shiping added four words again - seeking a wife and daughter.
is too ruthless, you can write hundreds of charges with a pen, and the most important thing is that none of the charges constitute a capital crime, let alone rebellion. But Zhang Shiping finally made a comment, Zhao Xiaojun Wang robbed the people's daughters, went in and out of the fireworks place, insulted the royal prestige, like such a shameless act, like a rebellion, please make a decision.
Come on, Zhao Xiaojunwang felt that he had directly become a whoredevil's villain under Zhang Yi's pen, and if he looked at it again, he didn't know what it had become. Fortunately, she pouted and went back to her house, Pan Jinlian was overjoyed when she saw Zhao Yougong coming, and the two of them got together, and they were upside down.
**At the beginning of the harvest, Pan Niangzi clamped the man's waist, and her small mouth was closed one by one, "Your Highness, the slave family has already taken down the Chen family's grain depot!" β
"How much?"
"A thousand kans!"
"Hehe, I really didn't expect Lian'er to have a talent for business!"
"Giggles, it wasn't taught by His Highness yet!"
Pan Jinlian is not a compliment, this official always has a unique opinion, let's take the matter of bargaining in business. The official's argument is to try to turn what the other party says is good into bad, and then try to hide what he thinks is good.
Pan Jinlian's method of dealing with Chen Bo completely followed this principle, so didn't Chen Bo keep talking about the store area and the warehouse? Then think about making these two aspects the most dispensable.
In the second year of Xuanhe, on the second day of the second month of February, Zhang Yi was inaugurated as the general judge of Tongzhou, and on the same day, Zhao Yougong also entered Dayangtan with his subordinates.
No one would have thought that the barren Dayang Beach would become a terrifying place for future generations. (To be continued!)
