The difficulties he faced did not dampen Zhong Yu's fighting spirit, but strengthened his determination to investigate to the end. www.biquge.info Since the officials of Datong have colluded with all levels to prevent them from finding out the truth of the matter through various means, it shows that this matter must be not trivial, and may even endanger the situation in Shanxi as a whole. As a courtier of the imperial court, as a native of Shanxi, there is no reason to sit and ignore it.

Therefore, even if he couldn't get any useful clues and evidence for a while, Zhong Yu didn't have the slightest intention of being discouraged, and still arrived at the Qincha Xingyuan early every day, summoned the officials to talk, and then looked through the official documents about quelling the chaos that were reported below. Even if he knew that most of these might have been modified, he was not discouraged, because Zhong Yu believed that as long as he lied and faked, there would always be flaws.

After noon that day, after meeting Guo Rong and other relevant officials as usual and talking for a while, Zhong Yu looked through the official document on quelling the chaos at hand again. In the past few days, the battle situation seems to have made new progress, and two more rebels have been suppressed, and now only a few rebels such as Nie Fei and others are still fleeing.

If it were another official, he would have been happy to see this report. Because in this way, he can soon give a satisfactory answer to the imperial court, and then return to the capital with some credit for overall command. But Zhong Yu saw this, but he became a little irritable, he didn't want to be sent back to the capital like this, the truth of the matter was far from being understood, how could he just leave?

The boredom in his heart, coupled with the very hot climate in June, made Zhong Yu quickly drink the tea in front of him. When he picked up the bowl again and found it empty, he looked up and asked his subordinates to refill his water. But as soon as he looked up, he saw an errand officer appear at the door: "Your Excellency, ......"

"What's the matter?" Facing the outsiders, Zhong Yu quickly hid the irritability on his face and asked lightly.

"Someone is out asking to see you, saying that it is your uncle......" The servant said cautiously, he saw that Zhong Yu was not in a very good mood, so he was extra careful in what he said and did.

Zhong Yugang wanted to subconsciously say no-these days, he had also come here a lot of local celebrities and gentry in Datong, at first he thought that those people were here to show respect or want to help him, so he also met a few, but after meeting, he found that they were all here to persuade him not to pursue too deeply, which made him very disgusted, so in the past few days, except for local officials, he almost did not see outsiders - but as soon as he heard that the identity of the other party was actually his uncle, he let him swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

Zhong Yu believed that no one in Datong City had eaten a leopard and dared to tease him like this, which meant that it was really his uncle. This made him quickly change his words: "Invite him in." After the servant had departed, he got up from his seat and went out the door to greet him.

Not long after, a middle-aged man who was no more than fifty years old and looked less than five years older than Zhong Yu walked in, accompanied by servants and several guards. If you look closely at this person's eyebrows and facial features, you will find that he is five points similar to Zhong Yu, but this person is fatter than Zhong Yu, as if he is an inflatable version of him.

As soon as he saw this person, Zhong Yu hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Uncle Thirteen, why did you come to Datong?" "The person who came was his uncle, who was the thirteenth in the family, and his surname was Zhong Yao.

Zhong Yao saw his nephew, but he didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and was about to bow down. But how dare Zhong Yu accept the great gift of the elders, he immediately took a step forward and supported the other party: "Thirteenth uncle, you are going to kill me, a junior." ”

Zhong Yao took advantage of the situation to stand up straight, and smiled: "You respect my uncle because you know how to be polite, and of course I have to be polite as an official of the people of the Ming Dynasty." As for why I came here, since you, a nephew, wanted to learn from the sages and sages and did not enter the house, and did not go back to Taiyuan to see the house when he arrived in Shanxi, the family sent me over to visit you. ”

Zhong Yu was ashamed for a while, and while letting people into the house, he said: "Uncle Thirteen taught me a lesson, but the little nephew was too ignorant, and he didn't go to see your uncles when he returned to Shanxi......"

"Well, I don't blame you. You are a Qincha, the emperor's order is in your body, and you have a heavy responsibility, so naturally you can't just take care of your personal feelings. When talking about the word private feelings, Zhong Yao also added a little more accentuation.

Zhong Yu immediately heard that the other party had something to say, and suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart. But there was still a look of respect on his face: "I don't know if Uncle Thirteen, you came all the way from Taiyuan to Datong in addition to visiting my unworthy nephew?" ”

"Hey, although you are an official, you still have the same personality as when you were at home before, and you can't hide your words." After laughing as if teasingly, Zhong Yao continued: "I came to Datong this time mainly for two purposes, the first is to talk about a business......

At this point, he saw a servant walk in with a plate of refreshments, which made Zhong Yao's words come to an end. Zhong Yu nodded slightly, although he had taken a career in office, he also knew that the main business of the Zhong family was in business, so it was reasonable for Zhong Yao to come here to talk about business. It's just that from the analysis of his tone just now, things don't seem to be so simple, which makes him feel relieved.

After the servant withdrew, Zhong Yao continued: "As for the second thing, I was ordered by the two old ladies to come to visit you. ”

As a local clan in Shanxi, the Zhong family has the same power in the hands of the elders as the ordinary wealthy families. However, it is somewhat different from ordinary big families that the Zhong family now has two old people in charge.

"Did Grandpa and Fourth Grandpa ask Uncle Thirteen to come? What do those two old men have to say? Among the two family members, one is Zhong Yu's own grandfather, and the other is older, and is called the fourth grandfather by Zhong Yu.

"There is a major matter related to the survival of my Zhong family that needs you now, so the two old ladies asked me to see you. If it weren't for the long distance, the two old men would be unbearable, but I am afraid that the two of them will come to see you today. When he said this, Zhong Yao's expression had become very serious and solemn.

And after hearing him say this, Zhong Yu's expression became more serious, what kind of big thing can labor the two grandfathers value so much, and even say such things as the survival of the family? This made him, who had always been calm, couldn't help but tremble a little in his voice: "What do the two grandfathers command?" As long as I, as a grandson, can do it, I will definitely not disappoint his two old people. ”

"It would be best if you could do that." The corners of Zhong Yao's mouth showed a slight smile, and then he whispered his true intentions.

Although he said this very lightly, as if he was afraid of being listened to by irrelevant people outside, it was tantamount to Hong Zhong Dalu ringing in his ears in Zhong Yu's ears, making him unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Zhong Yao was obviously prepared for his reaction, and when he saw that he was stunned, he was not in a hurry, just drinking tea there slowly, waiting for his nephew to come back to his senses.

After a long time, Zhong Yu's somewhat sluggish eyes turned a little, and then his entire brow wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and his body leaned weakly against the back of the chair like a deflated ball, and then he said slowly: "Is Uncle Thirteen true?" ”

"It's about the rise and fall of my Zhong family, how can I talk nonsense? These words are the meaning of the two old ladies, if you don't believe it, you can go back to your home in Taiyuan and ask them in person. In fact, these days, after hearing that the imperial court will strictly investigate this matter, the two old men are already very uneasy. It wasn't until they heard that it was you that they realized that things were turning around, and they sent me to meet you. Zhong Yao said.

Zhong Yu's face was uncertain for a long time before he said: "It's not that the little nephew doesn't believe the words of the thirteenth uncle, but this fact is too big, why didn't I know anything before?" ”

"Hmph, you have only studied the books of sages and sages, and our old Zhong family finally came up with a child like you who can be admitted to the Jinshi and shine on the lintel, so it is naturally impossible for you to get involved in these things. After all, these things are against the law, and you will be an official in the future, so it's better not to know or not to know. If it weren't for the fact that this matter was really troublesome, and you happened to receive this errand, the two old ladies would not have let you know about this matter of our Zhong family. Zhong Yao seemed to have a hint of jealousy in his tone.

Looking at this man who was obviously his uncle, but was actually no different from his brother, Zhong Yu's heart tightened suddenly. In the past, he was proud that his family's wealth allowed him not to participate in those corrupt things because of money. But now, he knows that everything has its other side, and while the family is rich, it turns out that there is such a big secret, or hidden danger. It's ridiculous that I swore that I could help Shanxi help the court get rid of the big trouble, but now it seems that ......

After a long silence, Zhong Yao continued: "Actually, not only my Zhong family, but also in the entire Shanxi, there are many big clans like us, otherwise where do you think the Jin merchants who are now famous in the world come from?" So if you have to insist this time, it will not only be your own family that will be offended, but also those family forces are not what you can imagine. So whether it's for your own sake or your family, I hope you will carefully consider accepting the meaning of the two old men. ”

If he had heard these words just now, Zhong Yu might not have taken it too seriously, but now, he felt more pressure. It seems that he can't even sit still.

Zhong Yao knew that this kind of big thing could not be finalized at once, and he didn't want to push his nephew too much, so he stood up and said, "Think about it, I will stay here for a few days, and it will not be too late for you to come to me again when I figure it out." ”

Zhong Yu didn't care about any etiquette at this time, he just watched his uncle leave, and at the same time, his heart was as heavy as pressing Mount Tai, and he just wanted to yell a few times!

Although it's late, I still have to thank the book friends for their support and monthly ticket support from Yuli Hua and Brother Lafeng, Swanywu, and Mammoth Elementary School。。。。。。。 Then ask for support by the way。。。。。 Anything is fine, passers-by are not picky eaters at all。。。。。。
