Chapter 853: Sending the Prodigal Home
When he arrived in Beijing for several days, he hesitated at first and did not go home, but when he wanted to go back, he suddenly found that the situation had changed greatly, and his father, who had always thought that he was the pillar of the family, had an accident in the palace, and then was banned in the house under the pretext of so-called recuperation.
Therefore, he chose this inn in the outer city as his lodging, and he sent people to find out the news. Fortunately, he made an excuse to run out because of the conflict between his stepgrandmother and his wife at home, just in case, all the entourage he brought was the same as a fresh face in Beijing, and even the road guide he used had nothing to do with the Puzhou Zhang family, and he didn't have to worry about being targeted by the factory guards for a while. In the past two days, with a lot of silver smashed, through the eunuchs in the palace who are the most good at selling news, he finally figured out what happened to the court meeting in Wenhua Hall before. Although he was surprised that Wang Fulin had opposed Feng Bao at that time, it didn't mean that he would be grateful to this guy.
Even compared with Chen Sanmo's efforts to protect Zhang Siwei just for his own interests, Wang Fulin's so-called position seems insincere! can make the bigwigs echo one after another, that's just a coincidence.
So, Zhang Taizheng didn't even want to think about it, so he picked Wang Fulin to start. The reason he used for Qin Yiming was that Wang Fulin was a confidant of Zhang Juzheng, with a low grade but a small reputation, and there was often a precedent for a person to set off a huge turmoil in the past, if Wang Fulin could be provoked to strike first, and then a huge storm would be caused and divert the attention of others, then Qin Yiming would not only get benefits, but also ignore Zhang Siwei's affairs, and he would naturally find a way to find a gap to rescue his father from the predicament. But the reason to really convince him of himself is very simple.
Wang Fulin caused him and his younger brother Zhang Jiazheng to go back to their hometown to study, and also caused his uncle Wang Chonggu to lose his official position, and even his father Zhang Siwei was cheated several times, how could he not take revenge when he had the opportunity?
Therefore, when an entourage suddenly broke in without even knocking on the door, saying that Wang Fulin suddenly went to see Qin Yiming early in the morning, and then went to see Chen Wei, the imperial history of the left capital, Zhang Taizheng had an extremely bad premonition. He stood up and said immediately, "Let's go immediately......"
But he had only said this halfway through, and Wang Fulin's angry voice had already come up clearly. In an instant, Zhang Taizheng glared fiercely at the entourage who had just entered the house, and the latter immediately said in a panic: "Young Master, it's definitely not me who showed his whereabouts, when I came to summon him, he hadn't left the Metropolitan Procuratorate yet......"
Yes, Qin Yiming also knows his foothold!
Zhang Taizheng's face has become like the bottom of a black pot. When he first contacted Qin Yiming, of course he didn't want to say it. But although the previous court meeting in Wenhua Hall was only small-scale, the news of Zhang Siwei's "recuperation" spread loudly, Qin Yiming refused to get on a sinking ship, in order to win over this ally, while reasoning with the facts, of course he couldn't even hide his whereabouts from the other party. After all, the old case of Huguang Dao was pressed by his uncle Wang Chonggu for many years, and only Qin Yiming, the head of the Dao Imperial History, was the most suitable person to uncover the pot. How could he not make some compromises for this?
"Zhang Taizheng, how long do you have to hide your head and show your tail!"
Even though Zhang Taizheng knew the consequences of showing up at this time, he still had to open the door and strode out, standing on the railing at the door of the house and shouting angrily: "Wang Fulin, what do you want!" ”
"Finally willing to show up?" Wang Fulin stood with his hands crossed, squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Taizheng twice, then he smiled and said, "You have been studying in your hometown for three years, and you don't seem to work very hard, but you are so blessed!" Speaking of which, isn't it too unfilial to enter Beijing and not return home to visit your father? ”
Zhang Taizheng originally thought that Wang Fulin must have pried open Qin Yiming's mouth, and this time he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, so he was ready to resist death and not admit it, anyway, just based on Qin Yiming's mouth and no other evidence, he didn't believe that Wang Fulin could do anything to him. However, what he didn't expect at all was that Wang Fulin spoke amazingly and directly charged him with the crime of unfilial piety!
The shopkeeper who was watching the excitement on the side saw that after Wang Fulin entered the house, there were several big men who broke in at the same time, and he thought that someone had come to seek revenge on the rich businessman who had chartered his inn, so he subconsciously hid directly behind the counter, only showing a pair of eyes to see the excitement. However, when he heard Zhang Ge's three words, he was like being beaten with chicken blood, and the whole person became excited.
Zhang Ge Lao? This person who hid in his inn and didn't go out, and only let his entourage run outside, turned out to be the son of the old patriarch of Zhang Ge? Tsk, my son is sick and recuperating at home, and other sons have already gone back to visit the sick, why is this one outside? That's right, he didn't even go out of the door for a few days, and the meals were all sent in by his entourage, could it be that the golden house was hidden in his small inn? Or maybe elopement? No, there doesn't seem to be a woman in the room...... What happened in my hometown, so I ran to Beijing to avoid the limelight, but I didn't dare to let my father know?
If Zhang Taizheng knew what Wang Fulin said and let the shopkeeper listen to it, it would be the result of making up a thousand family ethics dramas in his brain, he would definitely be so angry that he would vomit blood - of course, he already wanted to vomit blood at this time, and he slammed his fist on the railing and shouted angrily: "You shut up for me, don't spew blood!" ”
"Then may I ask why Mr. Zhang lives in this inn but doesn't go home to visit the sick?" Wang Fulin asked rhetorically for a long time, and then looked at the shopkeeper again, "Shopkeeper, how many days has Mr. Zhang lived?" ”
The shopkeeper was amazed at Zhang Taizheng's true identity, and involuntarily replied: "This is the sixth day ......" But as soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that just now this old man of Zhang Ge faced the comer, and the name he drank was Wang Fulin! Oh my God, this seemingly young but imposing son, it turned out to be the Wang Zhangdao who was good friends with several sons of the Shoufu family, and was well-known in Beijing!
Wang Fulin didn't care about others figuring out his identity, and when he asked the shopkeeper about the time when Zhang Taizheng stayed here, he was even more sure.
"That is to say, when you returned to Beijing, Ling Zun Zhang Ge was still in good shape, and at that time you had already had a good home and did not return, but you lived in an inn in the outer city. That's it, it's your family affair, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. But these two or three days are different, Zhang Ge Lao has already let the imperial doctor untie his clothes and take him to serve at home to recuperate, Zhang Dagongzi is still staying in this inn and not going back, it's not unfilial, is it possible that you still say that you are looking for a famous doctor in this outer city? Zhang Dagongzi, don't forget, recommend loyal ministers and filial sons, and impeach the unvirtuous, which is also the function of the imperial history! ”
You shouldn't be arguing with this guy!
Zhang Taizheng can't wait to give himself a mouthful, what virtue does Wang Fulin have, others don't know, will he still not know? It's humiliating to quarrel with this guy!
Thinking of this, he had to be forcibly humiliated, and said politely: "Wang Zhangdao, can you go upstairs to talk?" ”
Wang Fulin looked at Zhang Taizheng who was clenching the railing with both hands, and suddenly said to the shopkeeper behind the counter: "Shopkeeper, can you and your buddies please avoid it for a while and make room for me and Mr. Zhang to talk?" ”
Although the shopkeeper opened his eyes wide and pricked up his ears, he really wanted to see the excitement, listen to some fresh news, and turn around to brag to others, but when Wang Fulin turned his head and looked at it, his eyes were sharp, and he suddenly realized that behind this was probably the fight of those cabinet elders who he could not reach in his life, and immediately dispelled that bit of gossip, hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly dragged up the unknown guy and hurried out. When he found that there were several strong men guarding outside, he immediately held his breath and didn't even dare to move.
And the idle people waited for nothing, Wang Fulin hugged his hands and said: "Zhang Dagongzi, let's go down and say, I'm lazy and I don't like to climb the stairs." ”
Unexpectedly, Wang Fulin had to fight for even this little detail, Zhang Taizheng couldn't help but be angry, but he had to go downstairs. When he stepped down the last step and came to Wang Fulin, he bowed deeply and said: "Wang Zhangdao, in the past, my brother and I were ignorant for a while, and we offended you, so how about asking you to write off the old things regardless of the villain?" ”
"You should have found out the details of the previous court meeting in Wenhua Palace, and I didn't plan to fall into the ground." The corners of Wang Fulin's mouth twitched, and he said coldly, "But I don't want to take advantage of his illness to kill him, but some people like to calculate me again and again, and treat me as a soft persimmon." Zhang Dagongzi, if it were you, this kind of unwilling and completely insincere apology, do you think I would accept it? ”
Zhang Taizheng has never apologized to others in such a low voice in his life. He pretended to be well-behaved in front of the elders, and everyone said that he was good; He has always been extremely outstanding in front of his peers, coupled with a good family background, others can only flatter him; As for the younger generations...... Who can he put in his eyes? But now, he has put down his body and begged for peace, but he was slapped so hard!
He straightened up all of a sudden, and his eyes stared sharply at the sworn enemy opposite who had been deflated since the first meeting: "Wang Fulin, don't deceive people too much!" ”
"I already know everything about the things you discussed with Qin Yiming, who calculated who was the first, you yourself understand. Kowtowing and admitting mistakes is not uncommon for me, and I don't care about it. Moreover, Mr. Zhang, you have a grandfather and a father above you, whether it is the affairs of the court or the shopping mall, can you be the master? If you can't be the master, it means that you can't give me enough benefits, so what's the reward? I would have liked to hear if you had anything new, but now it seems that I overestimated you. Okay, without further ado, let's go. ”
Zhang Taizheng suddenly felt his heart shrink suddenly, and even his voice became sharp: "Where do you want to take me?" ”
"Where to go? Nature is to go where you need to go. Seeing that Zhang Taizheng's face turned pale with fright, Wang Fulin suddenly laughed, "It's just sending the unfilial son home, where do you think you are going?" ”
Go home? Thinking of his father's difficult situation now, Zhang Taizheng didn't want to go back, after all, under Feng Bao's control, it was easy to enter the gate of Zhang's mansion and difficult to get out. It's just that this is still a relatively acceptable ending after all, and he can only tell himself in his heart that he will be able to avenge this arrow sooner or later - he doesn't dare to think about it at all, he and Wang Fulin have new grievances, and if it goes on like this, he won't be able to avenge it at all!
When he took Zhang Taizheng and his party out of the inn, Wang Fulin saw that the shopkeeper was standing there looking forward to it, so he beckoned him over: "You settle the account, how much is Zhang Taizheng missing you in addition to the deposit?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then quickly counted the house money and meal money with his fingers, and finally said with a smile: "In addition to the deposit of ten taels of silver, because Zhang Dagongzi and they chartered the entire inn, and the small one did not do business for five days, so all kinds of discounts were removed, and a total of six taels of silver were accepted." ”
Because it is close to Chongwenmen Street, people come and go, and there are many passers-by to watch the excitement at this time. Wang Fulin ignored those curious eyes, and without waiting for Zhang Taizheng to react, he gestured to ask Liu Bo to give the silver, and when he saw that the shopkeeper took over and thanked him for his kindness, he looked at Zhang Taizheng and said, "Let's go, let's send the prodigal son of the Zhang family home!" ”
Zhang Taizheng's nose is about to be crooked by popularity. What does it mean for a prodigal son to come home, he is not running away from home, nor is he looking for flowers and asking willows outside, when this word spreads, does he still want to be famous? However, all the people around him have gone out to find out the news, and now there are only three people around him plus the one who just came back, where is Wang Fulin's opponent who has hugged more than a dozen family members before and after? So, he didn't even have time to think about what would become of letting Wang Fulin pay for the house for him.
The elite of the East Factory at the gate of Zhangfu was personally selected by Feng Bao, and they were all capable veterans. Because of this, Wang Fulin politely sent Zhang Taizheng and the four servants over, although this scene looked a little clueless, but Wang Fulin said that he was sending Zhang Taizheng home to reunite with Zhang Siwei, and sending it here by himself was considered to be the completion of the task, and the leader immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Wang, I will accompany Zhang Dagongzi into the house." Gonggong Feng was also afraid that Lord Shoufu would not be there, and the second assistant and the third assistant would be sick one after another, and it would be inevitable that they would be gossiped about, and the second assistant Lu Ge Lao also sent his brother to help guard ......"
Wang Fulin had no intention of pointing fingers at the work of the factory guards, and after arguing with this ghost for a while, he didn't look at Zhang Taizheng's angry face, and immediately took his family members back, sent all the people home halfway, and returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate alone.
In the evening of that day, Zhang Taizheng heard that his father was sick but did not go home, but fooled around in the inn in the outer city, and was finally escorted home by Wang Fulin, and the news immediately spread like crazy.
At the same time, Wang Fulin, the head of Guangdong Province, and Qin Yiming, the head of Huguang Road, performed the excerpt of the criminal fraud case of the three legal divisions five years ago, and they were also sent to the General Administration.
For a while, I don't know how many people almost stared out their eyes, and I don't know how many people are desperately trying to find the connection. However, Wang Fulin's mouth was tight, and those who went to Qin Yiming's place to inquire also returned.
"Wang Zhangdao and I just had a disagreement on official matters before, and there is no personal grudge! Wang Zhangdao is fair and impartial, and I am very happy to be a friend of such a like-minded person! ”
This Huguang Daoist Imperial History said impassionedly.
