Chapter 178: Youzhou
As soon as Zhang Zhijin's words fell, Mu Xiaoxin stared at Su Yi tightly, with both expectation and nervousness in her eyes.
Su Yi's foundation is in Taohuazhai, and if he goes to the south at this time, he can only have nothing. It's just that Zhang Zhijin has a treacherous personality, and Huang Wenbing intends to win over Su Yi, but he deliberately asked Su Yi to bring up this topic, so that Su Yi has a request for others, rather than Huang Wenbing rushing to win him over.
As soon as the relationship between the two changed, the former could only be that Su Yi was controlled by others, and then it was kneading by Huang Wenbing's faction.
Although Su Yi wanted to use Huang Wenbing's relationship to get an official and a half-job, so as to establish a village fort outside the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, and rely on each other in Taohuazhai, he didn't want to be controlled by others, the pattern of Taohuazhai was small, but Su Yi was not willing to hand over this foundation to others at will.
"If I have the opportunity, I still want to go back to the south, after all, my home is in the south......" Su Yi looked at Zhang Zhijin expectantly.
Zhang Zhijin frowned, he originally thought that Su Yi would choose to stay in Youzhou or Liaodong, so that he could take the opportunity to complete the task given to him by Huang Wenbing, but he didn't expect this kid to be so difficult.
"Ahem...... If you want to go back to the south, it's not impossible, but you also know that the matter between you and Master Pei is spreading in the imperial city, and you once made a poem in the restaurant, which also caused a lot of reaction among the Jiangnan scholars. β
Zhang Zhijin glanced at Cheng Wenyuan, who wanted to speak and stopped, and said coldly: "Master Su, it wasn't just the Pei family who chased and killed you that day. β
Su Yi's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice, "Could it be that Your Excellency knows the details?" β
Zhang Zhijin glanced around at Cheng Wenyuan and Mu Xiaoxin, and when Cheng Wenyuan saw him, he immediately put on an honest appearance. Zhang Zhijin nodded, if he said these words in front of Cheng Wenyuan, it would mean that the other party would also be his own.
"Qi Wangfu." Zhang Zhijin said three words lightly, and then stopped speaking.
Su Yi was taken aback, and suddenly realized: "At that time, there were indeed two groups of people chasing and killing me, I thought it was just two groups of people sent by Pei Wen, and I didn't want to have people from the Qi Palace." β
Zhang Zhijin saw Su Yi calling Pei Wen's name, and said with a slight smile: "Pei Wen's old thief wants to marry his daughter to the King of Qi, and your divorce of his wife has caused a stir in the imperial city, and with the character of the King of Qi, he will naturally not let you go." β
He said it lightly, but Mu Xiaoxin and Cheng Wenyuan on the side were terrified when they heard it, Pei Wen and King Qi were both powerful figures in Great Chu, Zhang Zhijin did not have a trace of respect when he mentioned the two of them, but sneered in a sarcastic tone.
Zhang Zhijin saw Su Yi bowing his head and pondering, thinking that the time had come, so he continued to bewitch: "Master Su, in order to avoid the pursuit of King Qi and Pei Wen, you fled to the barren land in the north, but this world is not the emperor's land, with Pei Wen and the power of King Qi, even if you escape to Liaodong, they can find you and kill you!" What's more, behind the Wanjia branch is the Liaodong Mi family, you usually pretend to be a member of the Liaodong Han family everywhere, and you offend the two major families in Liaodong at once. β
"What does the prime minister mean?"
Zhang Zhijin said with a smile: "In the matter of the Wanjia Branch, although you have made a contribution, you have also reaped a lot of benefits. Speaking of this, Zhang Zhijin glanced at Su Yi lightly, and continued: "What these prime ministers can do has not happened, but this matter will eventually be found out by the Mi family. You have offended the Mi family, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a foothold in Liaodong, what the Prime Minister means is to arrange for you to serve in Youzhou. β
Su Yi asked, "Youzhou?" β
Zhang Zhijin nodded and said: "Yes, Liu Yu was born as a civil official, and during his tenure as the assassin of Youzhou, he has always adopted a policy of gentleness towards the Hu people, he is a well-known Qingliu civil official in the court, and this person has an excellent relationship with Pei Wen." The Prime Minister naturally takes a fancy to you, and will naturally promote you, but the Prime Minister will not reuse mediocre and incompetent people, if you want to become the Prime Minister's protΓ©gΓ©, then gaining a foothold in Youzhou is the best way to prove your ability. β
Su Yi pretended to hesitate and said, "It's just that in this way, some of the foundations I have saved in the north ......"
When Zhang Zhijin heard this, he was a little ridiculous, he waved his hand and said, "No one can look down on your little family background." At the same time, Zhang Zhijin also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although this Su Yi has some vision, and he has gathered some brave people to his subordinates in the north for a short time, but in his opinion, it is just a child's game, so there is nothing to worry about.
Cheng Wenyuan did not reveal the existence of Peach Blossom Village to Mu Xiaoxin, and Huang Wenbing also learned through Mu Xiaoxin and Huang County Ling that Su Yi had some subordinates, and his subordinates were very brave, but whether it was Huang Wenbing or Zhang Zhijin, they all thought that Su Yi's subordinates were just some recruited guards, or a little kung fu.
Huang Wenbing did not pay attention to this. The corners of Zhang Zhijin's mouth twitched, as if he was laughing at Su Yi for being too small, but in this way, he was completely relieved of Su Yi, this young man was still too narrow-minded in the end, and he couldn't make any big waves if he was thrown in Youzhou.
If he is really capable, then it doesn't matter if Huang Wenbing's faction reuses him, if he is mediocre and incompetent, there is no loss for the Huang family, in the final analysis, Su Yi at this time is still a dispensable role in their eyes.
Zhang Zhijin and Su Yi left Hongyu Villa after negotiating, when he left, Cheng Wenyuan and Su Yi gave him one or two hundred silver, Zhang Zhijin was born as a small official, naturally greedy for money, and did not speak after seeing the silver, just smiled and nodded to accept it.
Huang Wenbing intends to win over Su Yi, and although the Cheng family's power in Liaodong and Youzhou is not as good as those family lords, it is also a big local power, and there is no loss for Huang Wenbing's faction to win over this kind of local power. On the contrary, with the help of the Cheng family, the Mu family can also quickly open up the situation in Youzhou.
Mu Xiaoxin did not leave with Zhang Zhijin, after three rounds of drinking, Mu Xiaoxin looked at Su Yi with drunken eyes, Cheng Wenyuan saw that her eyes were confused, and he did not interject.
"Master Su, in the future, I hope you can take care of our Mu family's business in Liaodong." Mu Xiaoxin saw that Su Yi was a little embarrassed, and pursed her lips and smiled.
Su Yi said: "Miss Mu said with a smile, you are a relative of Huang Xiang, who dares not to give you face in this Youzhou?" β
Mu Xiaoxin came to Su Yi, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Su Yi smelled a pungent smell of wine, Su Yi subconsciously tilted his head back, and Mu Xiaoxin laughed wildly when she saw this.
"Others don't know about you, don't I know?" Although Mu Xiaoxin was a little drunk, her eyes were cold, "Why wasn't the big black man and the man with the gun who followed you last time?" β
Su Yi said: "My two subordinates have important things to do, so they haven't brought them. β
