Chapter 241: Highlight the marriage
However, the knives and handles of the two prefectures in Denglai are in Wang Zheng's hands, and the money bags are also caught, and many people in and out of Beijing seem to be inextricably linked.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and these local heroes can't control Wang Zheng locally, let alone pull it outside Shandong, most of them can only swallow their anger.
Just like Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant in the Wanli period, implemented a whip reform, the emperor's relatives had no way at first, but they could wait, and wait until the Wanli Emperor lost patience with Zhang Juzheng, and then settle the new accounts and old accounts together.
They are also waiting, but no one can say whether they will be able to wait for the effect.
After all, this is not the Wanli year, this is the last year of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Zheng is not Zhang Juzheng, and the idea of measures is fundamentally different.
In the lobby of the Ling family, there are fine blue and white porcelain on both sides, each of which is a fine porcelain, and it costs thousands of taels of silver to take it out.
Ling Shan was sitting in the hall peacefully, brushing his long white beard unhurriedly, and the housekeeper Ling Fu was holding the account book and talking about the purchase of various salt farms last month.
In the twenty days after the Dengzhou camp was pacified last month, the net profit obtained by the Ling family's salt farms was more than several times that of before, which made Ling Shan's wrinkled old face finally smile.
Although it has a bad reputation, it is too worthwhile, and it is several times the amount of money, even if all those half-dead salt farms are handed over to Wang Zheng to deal with them.
At this moment, the servant at the door came in a panic, saying that Wang Zheng had come to the door with countless Dengzhou battalion soldiers, saying that he was going to visit the door.
Ling Shan, who was still smiling just now, buzzed in his head, almost didn't fall, and shouted again and again, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and go out with the old man to greet him!
At present, Wang Zheng can't even suppress Xu Renlong, the prefect of Denglai, the prefect of the two prefectures has long ceased to be in charge, Ling Shan must be more cautious, if there is a slight difference, Wang Zheng will say a word, and the Ling family will be in trouble.
Although he was extremely depressed and disgusted, Ling Shan still politely greeted him in person, and accompanied Wang Zheng and Gao Liang and his party into the mansion with a smile.
Before he could think about it, Wang Zheng and his party had just entered, and the servants were about to close the door, and the remaining soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion pushed away the servants of the Ling Mansion, forcibly entered, and immediately wrapped the Ling Mansion three layers inside and three layers outside.
None of these armored soldiers are easy to mess with, and the servants and maids of the Ling Mansion who were still busy going back and forth not long ago didn't dare to move, and they gathered together with big eyes.
At this moment, although Ling Shan didn't have any smile on his face, he still didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, so he could only sit stiffly on the first place on the north side and face to face with Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng sat on the opposite side of Lingshan without being allowed to sit on the opposite seat, and the seat facing north and south was actually not so particular, so he hugged his fists and said with a smile:
"Don't come unharmed, Old Man Ling, do you remember who this is?"
Looking in the direction of Wang Zheng's eyes, Ling Shan nodded inexplicably and said:
"The old man remembers that it was a high guerrilla under the command of Zhentai."
"Just remember." Wang Zheng clapped his hands and got up, looked around the lobby, and said with a smile: "If this town is not mistaken, the Ling family has a daughter named Huiping, who is white and beautiful, and she is the daughter of Old Man Ling, right?" ”
Ling Shan and his wife beside him glanced at each other, this king asked what he was doing here, and suddenly thought of something, could it be that this shameless military man fell in love with our family Huiping, and he couldn't rob it?
Ling Shan's face suddenly turned ugly, but he still said calmly:
"Huiping is the little girl, doesn't Zhentai already have a wife's room, and the lady has been okay recently?"
Hahaha, Wang Zheng said:
"This doesn't worry about Master Lao Ling, Liangzi, do you hear, why don't you come and see your uncle?"
Gao Liang sighed, let go of his mood, stepped forward and said solemnly:
"Nephew to meet uncle!"
"This, this, this... Wang Zhentai, what's going on? ”
Gao Liang and Wang Zheng sang and harmonized, and Ling Shan didn't even have a chance to react when he said this, and when he heard this, the tea that Ling Shan had just drunk almost didn't squirt out.
Although he asked so, Ling Shan was not an old fool, and naturally understood everything.
Wang Zheng personally proposed marriage for his subordinates, but everyone brought a dowry, but this guy came with more than 1,000 soldiers.
This is also called Gao Liang, who is also a guerrilla general, the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, why are the people in the Dengzhou camp so shameless, and he comes up with a "uncle".
After Ling Shan figured it out, he picked up and put down the teacup with a sullen breath, and it continued back and forth several times, but no one next to him dared to move, and he couldn't even let out a fart.
It is not easy to say that the guests are not easy to say, and the people have long had physical hints in this regard, and it is common to see the old man's behavior, and the next person is often thousands of people who laugh with the guests and push the guests out.
But at this time, who dares to step forward, just kidding, it is rumored that these five big and three rough generals have all killed Tartars, and at this time, they will go up and hack you to death, who can avenge you.
Wang Zheng sat aside with a smile, glanced at Gao Liang, Gao Liang saw the look in his eyes, picked up the teacup on the side and drank it dry, and then made up his mind and took a few steps forward coldly.
This frightened the old couple and the housekeeper and others enough, and they were all shocked, thinking that this soldier was going to rob him, but they saw Gao Liang bending over solemnly again, and said:
"Uncle, I, I Gao Liang has been obsessed with Huiping for a long time, and I wanted to propose marriage as soon as possible, but I didn't bring any dowry when I came today..."
"This knife has cut down water thieves, killed bandits, and even cut off a lot of the Tartar's skull, today I will give it to Miss Ling as a dowry, and invite uncle..."
Before he finished speaking, Ling Shan stood up with a red face and a thick neck, and shouted with a trembling finger at Gao Liang:
"Nonsense!"
Since ancient times, where is there such a saying that the Ling family wanted to find a knowledgeable scholar for Huiping, but how could such a shameless and rude military man come here, holding a knife as a dowry, which has never been seen since ancient times!
When Wang Zheng saw this scene, he also got up suddenly, with displeasure on his face, looked at Ling Shan, and said lightly:
"What, does Old Man Ling have anything to say?"
There's so much to say, so much to say!
But Ling Shan was about to open his mouth, but when he saw Huang Yang, Deng Heizi and other Dengzhou battalion generals looking at him, Dong Youyin glared at him, and even saw that someone had secretly touched his hand to the hilt of the knife.
It seems that he is waiting for Wang Zheng's order...
The old lady of the Ling family hurriedly grabbed Ling Shan's sleeve and kept shaking her head, even the housekeeper and several sons kept begging him, since ancient times, it was a show to meet soldiers, and it was unreasonable.
You rejected the ruthless Wang Zheng, it may not be good today, but in the future, you will definitely find faults, and the rest of the fate of those families who went to the capital to sue Wang Zheng can still be vividly remembered.
Don't put your whole family at risk!
Ling Shan breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not easy to support such a big family business.
Ling Shan looked at Wang Zheng and calmed down, he felt the same way as everyone else about Wang Zheng, as if this person was already forty or fifty years old and had experienced the baptism of various situations.
Doing things tactfully, leaving no traces in everything, not to mention, but also ruthless means, in just a few years, from a small people selling smuggled salt to the current point.
Look at these rough men again, all of them dare to fight and kill on the battlefield, and no one obeys anyone on weekdays, except when it comes to Wang Zheng, he will never dare to go west in the east, and only obey his orders, all this is not something that young people in their twenties can do at all.
It seems that it is also a good choice to climb into relatives with such a person.
