Talking casually with his housekeeper Lao Ling, Zhang Hua didn't expect that he actually had an unexpected gain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On top of the Jiangnan layout, Zhang Hua wanted to start with the internal businessman and find a businessman who could control and was willing to give everything out.

However, the merchants who participate in the bidding of the official salt merchants every year have long become vassals of the Wang family, and the two sides have reached the point where both sides are prosperous and the other is lost.

Betraying the Wang family is equivalent to selling yourself, this kind of thing that has no benefit, ordinary people can't do it, so this is not to mention a mercenary businessman.

Because there is no specific suitable candidate, this idea has been slowly stranded, but now, with a casual conversation with Lao Ling, I learned that a businessman died strangely last year, and there was only one son left in the family, and the idea of being temporarily stranded in Zhang Hua's mind was rekindled.

However, compared to the unexpected joy, Zhang Hua is really curious about himself at the moment, the mysterious old housekeeper, how did he know about this?

And why did he say it casually, and he felt like he was suddenly opened.

It's not that he doubts his purpose, he has been by his side for many years, and Zhang Hua has treated him as his own relative, but this matter is too weird, so weird that Zhang Hua feels that Lao Ling deliberately said it to himself.

"Steward Ling, you and I were in Shicheng last year, and you don't have any acquaintances in Kyoto, how did you know about what you said before?"

Zhang Hua looked at Lao Ling in a gloomy tone and said, Lao Ling's dark face, without the slightest change in expression, is still the same ancient well without waves before, and now he is not panicked, only a very casual calmness.

"Young master, I am an idle person, and I always like to go to the tea shop to listen to books for free a few days ago.

Although it is a storyteller, the people there are from all over the world.

They also like to tell interesting stories, and that's where I heard about it. ”

Lao Ling said with a smile, Zhang Hua nodded slightly after hearing this, but did not continue to ask deeply,

After Lao Ling saw Zhang Hua's appearance, his forehead tightened and he asked, "Young Master, is this matter useful to you?" ”

"Why do you ask?" Zhang Hua asked curiously, Lao Ling rubbed his hands and continued: "I saw that after the young master heard this, his appearance changed greatly, and I guessed it." ”

"Well, it's useful." Zhang Hua said.

"Young master, although Jiangnan is a good place, it's too chaotic, you can murder the businessman if you say it, and the government hasn't investigated it much, this can be imagined, how complicated the situation is there." Lao Ling said.

"I understand what Steward Ling means, Jiangnan is a place. I'm not going. Zhang Hua said.

Then, Zhang Hua thought about it, and then asked Lao Ling another thing: "Steward Ling, before you came to Shicheng." I heard my grandfather say, you go south and north, you have a lot of experience, I ask you, quickly control a person, then how should you do it? ”

Lao Ling's face was stunned, but he immediately returned to his usual appearance, revealing his honest smile, and he responded: "The best way to control a person is undoubtedly to hold his handle."

With a handle in his hand, then this person can't escape the palm of the young master's hand. ”

"But this person, he doesn't act at all on weekdays, and his style of acting is also very checky, and even the number of times he looks for flowers and asks willows is very small, how can this be good?"

"That's it..."Lao Ling frowned and thought about it, and immediately thought of something, but then he also said carefully: "It's better that the young master can start with his family." ”

"Family?" Zhang Hua read it in his mouth, but shook his head again and said, "The way is good." The point is that I can't do that."

"Young master, is he really acting as he said before, and he can't find any fault with his inspection?" At this moment, Lao Ling asked rhetorically.

Zhang Hua was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lao Ling carefully, and said: "I haven't known this yet, but judging from the news I have learned so far, it is true." ”

"Then dare to ask the young master, what is the family background of the person in your mouth?"

"The family is well-off, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking."

"Hehe" Lao Ling smiled, and then continued with a meaningful smile on his face: "Young man, you said that the eldest man of a rich and noble family does not worry about eating and drinking every day, and there is no problem with his style, even looking for flowers and asking willows. Can such a thing really happen? ”

Zhang Hua paused, and then seriously thought about it, although it is said that everyone cannot be killed with a stick, but it is true that the number of such people is very small.

What's more, recalling Fang Jian's face, which was like a little white face in later generations, Zhang Hua slowly began to come to his senses.

"Young master, the rich and noble lords all like to live in luxury, and there are no two concubines in the mansion, which will make him unable to raise his head.

If the person asked by the young master is really as clean and self-conscious as he said before, then there are only two reasons, first, this person has a weak heart and looks down on everything. ”

"And what about two?" Zhang Hua asked, Lao Ling looked at Zhang Hua with a wicked smile, and then whispered: "He must have a beautiful lady in the outer house in secret." ”

"Lady of the Outer House? You mean to raise a junior! ”

Zhang Hua said in surprise, after Lao Ling heard the strange words in Zhang Hua's mouth, he touched his head and asked, "What is the young master?" What is Primary 3? ”

"Hmm... And you say the same thing. Steward Ling, you continue. ”

"Oh." Lao Ling curiously glanced at Zhang Hua, whose face was a little red, and then continued: "Female, this is a man who is difficult to refuse, ordinary people are like this, so let alone the person with a solid family in the young master's mouth." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hua felt that what Lao Ling said was very reasonable, a little white face in later generations, not to be held high in the pile of fat powder, every day Oba Oba screamed to satisfy his vanity, but went home from work on time every day.

If there is no thought in his heart, Zhang Hua guesses, he must feel in the bed, he is sorry for his face!

What's more, it is not a rare thing to have a lady in the outer house, but anyone with a little power will be like this, unite, how to deal with Fang Jian, he began to have eyebrows at this time.

……

……

After lunch, it was hot and dry, and Zhang Hua, who woke up after taking a nap in the room for half an hour, was already sweating profusely and did not alarm others.

Boil the water by himself, and then put cold water into the wooden barrel, Zhang Hua also took a bath by himself, and when he washed off the sweat on his body, he also felt a lot more relaxed.

After changing his clothes and staying outside for a while, Zhang Hua felt that he couldn't be idle, and immediately prepared to investigate the matter of Mrs. Fang Jian's house.

Compared with starting from Fang Jian's family, starting with Zhang Hua's guess from the lady of the outer house, it is also very simple to get from her, at this moment Zhang Yi just woke up from a nap and told him that he was going out, Zhang Hua also set off immediately.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, the members of the Supervision Yuan, who had been outside to protect Zhang Hua's safety, surrounded him, and since Zhang Hua had an accident in the downtown last time, his Safety Supervision Yuan also valued it very much.

After seeing that the faces of the two members of the Supervision Yuan were also tanned, Zhang Hua patted the two of them on the shoulder and said with emotion: "You two have worked hard. ”

"Unfortunately, it is an honor for my subordinates to protect the safety of adults."

The member of the Supervision Yuan said this, and after Zhang Hua heard this, he smiled, and then said, "Let's go, let's go back to the Supervision Yuan." ”

Immediately, the three of them also set off immediately, and after returning to the Supervision Yuan, Zhang Hua immediately called Qin Kang and Ji Shisan over.

"My lord, didn't the dean let you rest? Why are you here again? Qin Kang asked.

A bit of a rush to take care of, and this is back. Zhang Hua responded, thought about it for a while, and then said to Ji 13 on the side: "Let the brother of a place inquire about something, I want to find out as soon as possible whether Fang Jian has a lady from the outer house, if there is any way to find out her address."

Also, at the same time, I sent my brothers from three places to the official office in charge of registering the house to check if there was any record of a woman living alone, and if there was any comparison with the news from one place, I would definitely know her whereabouts. ”

"Yes!"

After that, Ji Shisan immediately set off and hurriedly went to carry out the task assigned by Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua turned around and said to Qin Kang: "Pick a few smart brothers, wait until the news is correct, and let them wait until it gets dark to do it and take her away." ”

"My subordinates understand." Saying that, Qin Kang went down and began to prepare, but at this moment, Zhang Hua stopped him again: "Wait, if Mrs. Fang Jian's outer house really exists, then her appearance must be extraordinary."

Tell the people below that they greet her with good food and drink, and if someone has a lustful heart, you know what to do, right? ”

After Qin Kang heard this, he immediately felt a chill in his crotch, and said with a serious expression: "I understand, if someone really commits a crime, his subordinates will castrate him and send him to the palace to be our eyeliner." ”

"Well, the son can be taught, go ahead."

After Qin Kang and Ji Shisan left, Zhang Hua was also constantly thinking about this matter, and after a moment of silence, he said to Tao Fang, who was guarding beside him, like a shadow: "Send someone to keep an eye on Fang Jian, I want to know his every move." ”

"Yes."

Tao Fang said and left here, and it didn't take long for Qin Kang to come back: "My lord, the person you want has been arranged." ”

"No problem, right?" Zhang Hua looked at Qin Kang and asked, Qin Kang looked like he was going to blow up the bunker, and his expression was so serious that he couldn't say seriously: "Absolutely no problem, if someone really does something unscrupulous, his subordinates will castrate themselves and go to the palace to be eunuchs!" ”

Zhang Hua's back was cold, he didn't expect Qin Kang's poisonous oath to be so vicious.

"Forget it, now is the time to employ people, you go to the palace to be a eunuch, so who will I use." Zhang Hua said this, and after Qin Kang heard it, he was also happy in his heart.

Because although there are not many words, Zhang Hua's attention to himself is undoubtedly revealed, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Hua's previous words had not been finished.

"But the eunuch still has to be castrated, after all, do you have to talk and count, otherwise how to serve the public and manage your subordinates in the future?"

"Yes." Qin Kang said with a bitter face.

After Zhang Hua saw his frightened appearance, he also shook his head and smiled, and at this moment, there was a little light in his eyes, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Recently, I sent someone to keep an eye on various tea shops, especially those who tell stories inside."

Don't do anything, just sneak in and talk to them. I wonder if anyone has ever talked about Jiangnan recently. ”

"The subordinates understand, and they will let people prepare in a while."

For Lao Ling's news, Zhang Hua doesn't care whether it's correct or not, what Zhang Hua cares about is the way to know, and he knows that he can stand up to the ground by casual conversations, but he can't stand scrutiny.

This is something that Zhang Hua has known for a long time, but today he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned it, which made Zhang Hua feel a little weird in his heart

It's not okay to suspect intentions, it's just that someone always hides from themselves, that kind of mood, Zhang Hua just feels very uncomfortable, especially the people close to him.

……

……

Half an hour later, Ji 13 returned to Zhang Hua's side: "My lord, the brother in one place has sent back the news, saying that Fang Jian does have a lady from the outer house, and Fang Jian will not be in the mansion on the tenth day of the first month of every month. The subordinates guessed that he should have gone to the lady of the outer house. ”

"Only one day a month? It seems that Fang Jian's attention to her is really average. Zhang Hua muttered, and then continued to ask Ji Thirteen: "So, has the identity of that woman been investigated?" ”

"To find out, that woman was originally the top girl of a certain Qinglou, and she was also well-known in Kyoto, and many gentlemen coveted her.

But a year ago, news suddenly came that she had been ransomed, and since then she has not been known about her whereabouts. ”

Ji 13 said, and Zhang Hua continued to ask after hearing this: "Then where is she now, have you ever found out?" ”

"To find out clearly, according to the comparison with the news from the official office, the subordinates dare to guarantee that the address in their hands is Fang Jian's wife of the outer house."

Ji Thirteen swore and said, but Zhang Hua shook his head and laughed softly at the moment, looking at Ji Thirteen, Zhang Hua opened his mouth and asked, "Didn't you notice that there was a problem with your words before?" ”

"Questions? My lord... What's the problem? Ji 13 asked puzzled.

"Before, you said that after the girl disappeared, there was no trace, but now you can find the specific address by a casual check, don't you think it's a contradiction?"

"What my lord means is that someone deliberately set us up and seduced us over!"

Ji Shisan said in shock, and Qin Kang on the side was also frightened at the moment, and his back was also covered in a cold sweat, if the situation is true, then the five brothers who acted tonight are afraid that there will really be no return!

"I don't dare to say that Pei Feng was poisoned, this is just a warning to us from the main owner behind it, in fact, he doesn't know what kind of investigation we have reached now.

But just by virtue of, Pei Feng, who didn't know whether to open his mouth or not, achieved today's layout, this kind of resourcefulness is too unbelievable, and at the same time a little unrealistic.

If not, then it should be the second possibility. ”

"My lord, what is the second possibility?" Ji 13 and Qin Kang both asked.

The second possibility is that in fact, as to who the woman was ransomed, this is a well-known thing for the gentlemen.

But a waiter in the Ministry of Works would not let them be afraid of inaction at all, but now they have not heard of anyone competing with Fang Jian to be jealous. That means that someone must have hinted at something, which will make you let go.

And the person who can let go of the lawless gentlemen on weekdays, his identity must not be simple..."

"Qin Kang, don't be in a hurry tonight, let's find out where that woman lives, whether there is anyone secretly protecting her, and you can't joke with the lives of your brothers."

"Yes!"

"Ji Thirteen, do you know who in Kyoto likes to find flowers and ask who the willow is, and ask him out to have a meal with him." Zhang Hua said.

"The person in the mouth of the adult should be Wan Qianfeng, his sister is Concubine Xiao, one of His Majesty's favorite concubines, because Concubine Xiao is favored by His Majesty, so the whole court also turns a blind eye to what Wan Qianfeng does, and closes one eye.

At the same time, Wan Qianfeng's father, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy of the current dynasty, was responsible for drafting appointments and dismissals, announcing amnesties, and ordering expeditions, so no one dared to provoke easily.

Because of his father and sister, Wan Qianfeng is in the limelight and does not take all his peers in his eyes. Stupidly glanced at the painting, Ji Thirteen resignedly said: "I'm afraid adults are like this." ”

"Oh, so big?"

"However, my subordinates know that there is someone who has a great relationship with Wan Qianfeng, and Wan Qianfeng will definitely go to the banquet if he comes forward!"

"Who is it?"

"Lord Tang."

"Tang Peng?" Zhang Hua said in surprise, Ji 13 nodded and continued: "Lord Tang did not stay in the Supervision Yuan, and when he became the Supervision Envoy, he had dealings with all the gentlemen.

Among them, it is even closer to Wan Qianfeng, and it must be no problem for Lord Tang to come forward. ”

"Dealing with everyone?" Zhang Hua read it in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "I didn't see it, before we Tang adults, we were also a courtesan who everyone loved." ”

After a pause, Zhang Yinglu said disdainfully: "In the past, it was like this, but now you call yourself a seed of infatuation?" Phew! What a shame! ”
