Chapter 051: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas (Two More Votes)
On the third floor, Tianzi No. 4 private room.
When the little guy who was sent out to inquire about the news came back, Zhao Peng and Su He also roughly understood what had happened, and they couldn't help but feel a little gloating in their hearts.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend. Although Zhao Peng was convinced of this, he never had the idea of converging with Zhang Fuheng to deal with Li Qian. He is an extremely conceited person, Li Qian, a two-list jinshi, is still not in his eyes, how can he be disdainful of a little Zhang Gongzi to heart?
"Heh, this Zhang Fuheng, I have always regarded him as a character, I don't want to be a waste dim sum, I only dare to play any literary fight------ Zhao Peng said and shook his head, sighing: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" If so------"
"It's a pity he didn't do it, right?"
Su He took over the conversation with a smile, and then said as if inadvertently: "Brother Zhao inevitably underestimated the surnamed Zhang too much, his father is a dignified four mansions, and he is already a little difficult to deal with a few adults in the mansion, how can this son, how can he cause trouble for his own son for no reason?" β
Zhao Peng glanced at him quickly, feeling that his words were a bit referring to Sang scolding Huai, and he was suddenly very unhappy in his heart.
Su He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, but after he reacted, he was very depressed in his heart. Dare to say what he deliberately said, but he Zhao Peng didn't understand it------
"Heh, Brother Zhao misunderstood------"
"Oh?" When Zhao Peng heard this, he cast a puzzled look at him and motioned for him to continue.
"Brother Zhao might as well think about it, the person who plans to trouble Li Qian today is Zhang Fuheng, so what if ------ Li Qian is on the way back for a while, what accident happened?"
"Oh? Haha------"
Zhao Peng immediately understood, and couldn't help laughing out loud, and Su He had no choice but to open his throat and laugh a few times in accord with him. After laughing, Zhao Peng gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Ziyang is a good plan, Zhang admires!" β
Sukh just smiled humbly, but in his heart he despised him.
Why didn't you find out before that this person surnamed Zhao was so stupid? Is it because he met Li Qian's nemesis, so he repeatedly made stupid moves?
Speaking of which, Su He is actually two years older than Zhao Peng, if it weren't for the other party's family background, and his family still needs to rely on the Zhao family, he would not have to surrender himself and call him a brother. But since the West Lake poetry meeting that day, after letting Zhao Peng cheat, he was faintly dissatisfied with Zhao Peng in his heart.
This Zhao Peng made two mistakes by himself, and he just did a stupid thing, and he wanted to pull himself to offend people, so much so that he lost face and didn't say anything, and it made Shen Butang unhappy.
You know, that's Hongru in Qiantang County! Even if he has returned to his hometown now, there are still many protΓ©gΓ©s who are officials in the court, so why bother to bury hidden dangers for his future career in advance?
At that time, it was also forced by the situation that Su He had to fall to Zhao Peng's side, but there would inevitably be some estrangement in his heart.
However, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has no bad feelings towards Li Qian at all.
After all, the two had already had a little unpleasantness since they first met on the boat, and then helped Zhao Peng slander each other and accuse him of plagiarizing poetry------ Su He didn't believe that Li Qian could have such a big belly and would easily forgive himself for all his previous actions against him.
offended Li Qian head-on, he was reluctant in his heart, secretly engaged in some small conspiracy, and gave Zhao Peng an idea, but there was no problem, anyway, the other party couldn't find out about himself anyway. At least, Zhao Peng wouldn't stupidly run to Li Qian and tell Li Qian that this was all his Su He's ghost idea------
Here, Zhao Peng had already summoned one of his entourage, whispered a few words in his ear, and then the entourage left in a hurry. When Suhe saw this, he knew that the show was about to begin!

In the hall on the first floor, the young man saw Zhang Fuheng going upstairs violently, and after a while, his face turned blue again, and then left in a hurry, and he couldn't help but shake his head and say to himself: "This Zhang Cheng, why did he give birth to a waste son------
Zhang Cheng is Zhang Tongju, and the young man is Song Zhong, who has just arrived in Hangzhou recently.
Song Zhong is currently in the Hangzhou Prefecture Inspection School, and on the surface he is just a petty official who is not in the stream, but in fact he is subordinate to Jinyiwei, which is equivalent to the eyeliner that this spy agency has planted in the local area.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always attached great importance to the rule of local officials, and has strived to achieve a situation in which politics is clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment. To this end, in addition to setting up the thirteen supervision and imperial history inspection system, he also sent secret agent agencies to be stationed in the local area, responsible for probing the intelligence of various places, and the spies of all parties were directly under the jurisdiction of Jingshi Jinyiwei.
In order to be able to collect local intelligence more effectively, in addition to the Jinyi Guard, in addition to planting a lot of secret agents, there are also bright eyeliners in the government office, the domain division, and the division, which is the position of the inspector.
These people are pervasive, and their identities are very inconspicuous on the surface, but in fact they are the minions of the monarch.
Although as early as a few years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang had ordered the abolition of Jinyiwei, and indeed burned many torture tools, but that was just a practice on the surface, and Jinyiwei's strength was actually still retained. An emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang would never easily do such a stupid thing as cutting his ears and eyes.
The abolition of the Jinyi Guard is a small concession by the male lord to the hundred officials, but it does not mean that the hundred officials can get an inch and completely abolish the Jinyi Guard. Therefore, the existence of eyeliner is something that everyone knows about, but very few people pierce this layer of window paper, so they can only be secretly vigilant in their hearts, trying not to let Jinyiwei catch their handles.
The position of school inspector is completely idle, at least on the surface, Song Zhong is very idle, after coming to Hangzhou, he either goes out for a walk, or goes to the Qinglou to drink flower wine------ anyway, the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother, the magistrate can do something, why can't Jinyi Wei do it?
What the? Exposing the report to the imperial court? Can you do it?
To put it bluntly, drinking flower wine is only a matter of subsections, at most dozens of boards can be played, and if you can't lose the official, you won't be killed, not to mention that the other party is still a Jinyiwei, how to fight these dozens of boards, that is also the Nanzhen Fusi under Jinyiwei, and others can't care about it at all------
Therefore, no one would be stupid enough to offend the fierce gods of Jinyiwei for such a trivial matter.
Don't look at the strict law enforcement during the Hongwu period, but it only focused on fighting corruption, and Zhu Yuanzhang was still able to turn a blind eye to all kinds of small problems in officials. He is a tyrant and not a faint monarch------ of course he is also a rare male monarch, as long as it is not a matter that seriously damages the interests of the court and the people, he will generally not care too much, otherwise who would dare to govern this prosperous world for him?
Song Zhong drank a pot of wine, beckoned to the shopkeeper to pay the bill, and was about to get up to leave, but saw Li Qian also went downstairs with a companion and was walking in the direction of the door.
I wanted to step forward to say hello, but his body was suddenly stunned, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, he slowly looked back, and saw several men dressed in short clothes, acting sneakily, and his eyes flickered from time to time to glance at Li Qian in front of him.
A flash of disdain flashed in his eyes, and Song Zhongfu sat down slowly and quietly. grabbed the bamboo chopsticks on the table, took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth to chew slowly, but the corner of his eye kept paying attention to the movements of those people.
Soon the men followed Li Qian out of the gate, and after a short pause, he quietly followed------

On the back street, two cicadas are pacing slowly, talking and laughing softly as they walk, as if they don't realize that there are several praying mantis behind them, and the purpose is not pure.
After walking for a while, Yang Qing, the second ------ of Cicada, suddenly found that the route was wrong, and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Zhongqing doesn't plan to return to the Yamen?" β
"I'll have to get a carpenter to make a chair."
"Chairs? Can you still lack chairs in your yamen? Yang Qingqi said.
Li Qian shook his head and smiled: "You can't find a second chair for me in the whole world." β
When Yang Qing heard this, he became even more curious, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of chair is so rare?" β
"Shake ------"
Li Qian was about to open his mouth to answer, but when he saw that his face instantly turned extremely pale, he couldn't help but ask strangely, "What's wrong with you?" It can't be sick, right? β
"Brother Zhongqing, ------ shouldn't you be the chair you ------ said? That's a big crime of trespassing, and you will kill your head------" Yang Qing pointed to the sky and stammered.
"Kill you!"
The folding fan in Li Qian's hand was suddenly closed, and he struck him heavily on the head, and said depressedly: "I said don't hurt me, who cares about that thing?" The chair will be short-lived, whoever likes to sit will sit it! Why don't I get you one? Rest assured, it's definitely the same recipe, familiar taste! β
Yang Qing's nervous mood dissipated, he rubbed his head, and said angrily: "Then what do you say that there is no second one in the whole world?" β
Li Qian said disdainfully: "Who said that there is only one dragon chair?" Your IQ is really not high! Think about it, how many halls are there in the inner courtyard of the Forbidden Palace? Does the chair the emperor sit on have to be a dragon chair? So the question is, learn the excavator------ bah, dare to ask how many dragon chairs there are? β
Although he was a little dissatisfied with his contempt, Yang Qing still answered this question honestly, rolled his eyes and said, "I haven't been to the palace again, how do you know how many dragon chairs there are?" Could it be that Brother Zhongqing knows this very well? So tell me, what is the geometry of the dragon chair? β
"Well------ I count how many palaces there are------
Li Qian calculated for a long time, but he didn't figure out how many palaces there were in Nanjing City, so he said a little irritably: "Why do you ask so much?" Do you know how boring and childish your question is? Anyway, there are so many dragon chairs that you can't count them! β
"------" Yang Qing gave him a look of "I obeyed you".
Li Qian said that the soap was very good, but Yang Qing, as a businessman, in line with the principle of carefully sailing a ship for ten thousand years, naturally had to see the real thing before deciding on the cooperation. Therefore, he did not need to rush to prepare anything at this time, and was still in a state of idleness.
At the same time, I was really curious in my heart, what was the merit of the chair that Li Qian said, so that he could boast so much. At that moment, he decided to go with him to the carpenter's shop.
The two of them chatted without a match, and after a while, they turned into an alley in front of them, and several men who were following behind them couldn't help but be happy when they saw this scene.
Opportunity, finally here!
