Luo Yangxing was puzzled: "But we don't actually need medicine?" ”

Cao Huachun didn't expect Luo Yangxing to understand, and explained: "But we hope they think we need it!" ”

It took a while for Luo Yangxing to understand that this sentence was us and them, and after thinking for a while, he said, "High! ”

After that, he went to do what had been discussed.

On the other side, Ning Wan was waiting for news while preparing for both.

"Brother Fan, is there any news?"

"Not yet. However, I have already told the people sent to tell me that the things were originally going to be shipped back to Shanxi. But now in the situation in Shanxi, I really don't want to go back in a short time, so I went out of my way to ask. If the royal family needs the best, sell it directly to the royal family. If it really doesn't work, you can only not enter Beijing and send it directly to Shanxi. Or if someone else needs it, they will be rerouted somewhere else. If there is a real need, please send us a message today. Let's send someone to make it go to the capital. ”

Ning Wan praised me: "Brother Fan has thought it through. So much best. ”

Fan Yongdou asked again: "If we find out the conclusion, what should we do?" ”

After Ning Wan, I picked up the tea on the table next to me, shook it, and said, "This is what I want to discuss with Brother Fan." Speaking of which, Chongzhen has an orthodox heir alive, right? ”

Fan Yongdou thought for a while and nodded: "That's right, I remember that the crown prince Zhu Cihong should be nine years old this year." ”

"Does anyone want him to be on the throne now?"

"If there is, it is naturally the Queen Zhou family." Fan Yongdou pondered, "But they shouldn't be in a hurry, right?" Zhu Cihong's undisputed eldest son, there is no crisis at all? ”

"Didn't you? Missing, right? I heard that his mother is not favored now, huh? ”

"There are indeed such rumors. According to folk rumors, when Chongzhen was still a king of faith earlier, the reason why he married Zhou as a concubine was not because he liked Zhou, but because Zhou was proficient in medicine and good at using poison. Apocalypse died unexplained back then, but with the help of the Zhou family. Therefore, after Chongzhen ascended the throne, she was named the queen. Otherwise, with the virtue of her father Zhou Kui, it is difficult for people to believe that his daughter will be a virtuous lady. Because of Zhou Kui's dominance, Chongzhen has become more and more dislike Zhou in recent years. It's just that Zhou's stomach is angry, and he gave birth to three sons in a row, and he can keep his position. ”

Seeing that Ning Wan was interested, Fan Yongdou poured cold water and said: "The news is getting more and more outrageous, but there are not many people who believe it." Because there were no such rumors in the early years. Originally, it should have been that Zhou Kui had offended too many people, so all kinds of gossip. Later, Tian Guifei was favored, and the Tian family added oil and vinegar to it, and it spread loudly. No matter how many rumors there are, they will not enter Chongzhen's ears, and the Zhou family's position should not be shaken. The more noisy the Tian family is, the more it actually shows that the Tian family does not have the upper hand. ”

Ning Wan nodded: "Brother Fan can see clearly, but can Zhou Kui also see clearly?" ”

Fan Yongdou was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Zhou Kui is stingy, the mouse is blind, it is strange to be able to see clearly." We are doing business in the capital, and what we are most afraid of encountering is this Zhou Guozhang. Greedy, arrogant, and domineering. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head again: "No one who knows him believes that his daughter can be a mother of the world. However, when Chongzhen was still the king of Xin, Zhou, as the princess of Xin, was also inquired about by many people. I dare not say that it is perfect, but she has a dignified and beautiful appearance, and she has no resemblance to her father. But no matter what this girl's background is, there is no doubt that she grew up in the Zhou family. ”

Ning Wan I didn't care about Fan Yongdou sighed, and asked: "You said that if we fool Zhou Kui, saying that once Chongzhen recovers, his family's status will be unstable, does Zhou Kui dare to plot against Chongzhen?" ”

Fan Yongdou was very familiar with Guanwai, and he understood the meaning of flickering, and when he heard the words, he fell into deep thought, nodded and shook his head: "Zhou Kui is anxious for quick success, short-sighted, and easy to fool. But not to mention whether he has a chance to start, such a big matter, doesn't he discuss it with the Zhou family? Zhou is not easy to fool. ”

Tell him directly that Chongzhen has changed his mind, but his daughter has not changed. If he tells his daughter, not only will she not help, but she will be a woman. When Chongzhen survives this time, the Tian clan will come out. ”

Fan Yongdou's eyes lit up, and it was really difficult to fool Zhou Kui. Zhou Kui saw that the money was open, and he really came and went with several wealthy businessmen. Fan Yongdou can fool Zhou Kui under his hands, not too much.

After Ning Wan, I said again: "This is for Chongzhen, who is already seriously ill. In fact, I also thought about directly letting Zhou Kui test Chongzhen's state. It's just that if he tried it once, it wouldn't be easy to do it the second time. I don't believe that the other party is deliberately guarding against him, and Zhou Kui's straw bag can still succeed. ”

took a sip of tea, and said: "If Chongzhen is not sick, Zhou Kui's candidate will become the Tian family, and only when he can't defeat the Tian family, will he turn the target to Chongzhen." So if we lose this time, we'll have to help the Tian family after that. ”

Fan Yongdou nodded, and wrote these down in his heart.

Ning Wan looked down at the tea, and talked about another set of plans: "If Chongzhen really goes to Suzhou, then we still have plenty of time." You have several boats prepared on the canal, and one upstream is prepared at each section of the counter-current in stages. It is filled with logs and oil. When we find out Chongzhen's possible itinerary, we will directly destroy the ship, let the logs and oil block the way, and we must force Chongzhen to go ashore from the ship before he enters Beijing. After entering Beijing, it is almost impossible to do it under the heavy protection of Jinyi Guard. ”

Fan Yongdou has no experience in water warfare, so he doesn't know why: "Logs and oil can't stop the boat, right?" ”

"Logs can stop hitting ships. If he doesn't get off the boat, when he gets on the greasy river, he can take a boat and someone to take him on his way with just a fire. ”

Fan Yongdou was stunned.

At this moment, a loud announcement came from outside, which was a high-priority message, but he was not allowed to approach.

The two stopped talking secretly, Fan Yongdou went out to say hello, took the news, took a look, was overjoyed, and came back to Ning Wan and said, "Good news!" The palace replied that they needed this batch of medicinal herbs and let us send them within two days. ”

"In two days? Think beautifully. Tell them that the delivery of goods is not a light car and a fast horse, where can it be arrived in two days? Drag and see how they react. ”

After thinking about it carefully, he said, "When fooling Zhou Kui, don't be too aggressive first. Let him have a sense of crisis first. This matter is based on a momentary blood courage. Zhou Kui is very inward-looking, after all, he doesn't have the courage of Jing Ke, at most he is a Qin Wuyang. It made him think in advance, and the more he thought about it, the less courageous he became. After all, he hasn't been cornered yet. If he is really driven to a dead end in the future, we will save ourselves from fooling. ”
