Chapter 922: Professional Pit Daddy (II)
Although Zhang Siwei had some dealings with Liu Shou, who was in charge of Jinyiwei, in the past, since he was targeted by Feng Bao, he almost broke off this relationship, not to mention that the people who came today are all small characters in Jinyiwei, is it possible for him to yell at others, your top boss used to have an old relationship with me? Therefore, he pinched the letter like a hot potato, and when he saw the middle-aged servant glaring angrily at the brocade-clothed guard colonel who had seized the letter before, he suddenly coughed lightly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Do you have any other message for me?"
The middle-aged servant hurriedly bent down and said respectfully: "Back to Elder Zhang Ge, my master said that he only wants to be a rich idler now, and he has no intention of being an official anymore." He and Wang Fu Lin Dao are different from each other, but if he breaks his bones and tendons, even if he doesn't communicate, he will definitely not care about his affairs anymore, but Wang Fu Lin has no shortage of small sections, and the whole clan has a good opinion of him, he does not have this ability, and it is impossible to ask the clan to open an ancestral hall with the identity of an elder, let alone those false charges. ”
What does that mean? When did he hint at Wang Daokun and ask him to instigate the elders of the Wang clan in Songmingshan to open a ancestral hall to deal with Wang Fulin?
Zhang Siwei regretted that he should not have asked this person in public to show his openness. At this moment, he was so distraught that he didn't even have the heart to fight back, and immediately ordered the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair into the door. But not far from the door, he thought that if these brocade guards sent by Feng Bao to protect the real surveillance were really so loyal, then he would definitely take this middle-aged servant back for a good interrogation, and at that time, Feng Bao might go to Wang Daokun's bad luck, and the original manuscripts of his two letters might not be able to be kept.
However, he pondered those two letters for a long time, and Feng Bao couldn't find any big flaws, but the meaning revealed by the middle-aged man just now made him very vigilant.
If it weren't for the letter he wrote, could it be that Wang Daokun deliberately played this hand and wanted to make him even more embarrassed? Or rather...... Someone fraudulently used his name to write a letter to Wang Daokun!
As soon as this latter thought came out, it was out of control, so that the blue tendons on Zhang Siwei's forehead burst out one by one. He didn't even have time to get out of the sedan chair, so he immediately opened the letter and took out the letterhead. Seeing that Wang Daokun expressed his satisfaction with his life in the countryside with a very cold attitude in the letter, he did not think of the reconspirator, and only planned to write a letter about it, and then quoted the so-called "original text", saying that he and Wang Fulin were not personal grudges, but had different views on major matters, so they would not talk about each other again, and asked him not to mention Wang Fulin in the future.
When he got off the sedan chair with the letter, Zhang Siwei only felt that his feet were floating. When he entered the main room, he sat down on the Taishi chair in the middle, and shouted, "Come on, go and call that evil beast for me!" ”
Zhang Jiazheng is still in his hometown in Puzhou, and of course the word "evil animal" refers to only one person, that is, Zhang Taizheng. Although the family has seen Zhang Siwei get angry with his son in the past, it is the first time that he scolds people like this, a few girls in the house look at me, and finally one of the eldest bends his knees and whispers: "Master, the third master came from Puzhou today, saying that he wanted to see the eldest aunt and grandmother, and the eldest young master took the third master to Ma's house." ”
Did Zhang Sijiao come to Beijing?
Zhang Siwei was stunned for a moment. He has a total of four younger brothers, and the third brother Zhang Sijiao is the most shrewd and the one he relies on the most. It must be known that in order to confess to him as a jinshi, his four younger brothers were unable to continue in the field, and Zhang Sijiao went to Jianghuai and Gusu to do business at the age of sixteen. Especially after he became a jinshi, his father Zhang Yunling's virtue of losing money in business was really unbearable for him and his younger brothers, so he simply persuaded Zhang Yunling to be a rich man at home, and Zhang Sijiao took over the family's salt business. Even when Cangyan was at its most difficult, Zhang Sijiao never cut off the monthly supply to him.
In the last years of Jiajing, he and his uncle Wang Chonggu's officials became bigger and bigger, and Zhang Sijiao manipulated salt profits, and the Zhang family's family business had increased dozens of times compared with the beginning! And even so, Zhang Sijiao has never mentioned splitting the family, not to mention him, even his second brother and fourth brother and fifth brother, even if they marry a wealthy businessman in Puzhou and have their own industries, Zhang Sijiao's huge profits will not forget anyone's share. In order to thank Zhang Sijiao, he donated the command of Long Huwei for him, and also enabled Zhang Sijiao to travel around the mall as an official.
Although he gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhang Taizheng who was likely to write a letter to Wang Daokun in his own name, he heard that the third brother Zhang Sijiao was coming, Zhang Siwei still had to put aside the burning thoughts, and stopped getting angry for the time being, instructed a few girls not to talk much, and called the housekeeper to tell the scene on the door just now not to be discussed, let alone spread it. However, he said that he went home to rest because he was tired, and when he soaked his feet and went to bed, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and he couldn't sleep at all. In the end, he had to get up and go to the study to meditate with word practice. After spending the afternoon, he finally heard a voice outside the door.
"Master, the third master and the eldest young master are back."
With this voice, Zhang Siwei only heard an extremely hearty voice from outside: "Big brother, since you came back from the cabinet to rest, why are you still busy in the study?" ”
The middle-aged man who entered the door was Zhang Sijiao, who was five or six years younger than Zhang Siwei, because he was running around all day long, exposed to the wind and rain, he used to look older than Zhang Siwei, but now that the brothers are reunited, he found that Zhang Siwei's white hair on his temples is not to mention, and eye-catching silver threads can also be seen in the middle of the well-maintained black hair in the past. Thinking that he hadn't been in Beijing for the past two years, he took a few steps forward and said apologetically: "Big brother, you have worked hard, I knew that you were tired like this, I should have asked people to bring more ginseng and deer antler cordyceps and other supplements, so that you can nourish your body." ”
"Mentally depleted, no matter how much supplements you use, it's useless." Speaking of this, Zhang Siwei looked at Zhang Taizheng who was smiling behind Zhang Sijiao, and suddenly felt angry, "In the cabinet, my second assistant is like a mud bodhisattva, and when I return home, I have to face the evil obstacle of yang and yin, can I not be old?" ”
Zhang Sijiao was stunned when he heard this, and when he turned around, he saw Zhang Taizheng's stunned and frightened face, and he couldn't help but gently persuade him: "Big brother, Da Lang is your eldest son, even if you make a mistake, you can talk about him well, why do you have such a big temper?" Today he took me to Ma's house, and I see that he and my uncle and brothers get along well......"
"If he hadn't made a mistake, he could barely see it, but this evil obstacle would stab me in a big basket at every turn!"
This time, without waiting for Zhang Sijiao to continue to plead, Zhang Taizheng's face changed greatly, and he asked angrily: "Dad, I haven't gone out for a single step these days, but today the third uncle came, I just accompanied him out of the door, where did I make any unforgivable mistakes?" ”
"None? Oh, then let me ask you, what's the matter with the letter to Wang Daokun written in my name? Well! ”
Zhang Siwei saw Zhang Taizheng's face change miserably for a moment, and then he forcibly pretended to be fine, he didn't wait for his defense, so he sneered and said: "Third brother, look at him, dare to do it or not, I ask him now that he still has to deny it!" Zhang Taizheng, let me tell you, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, you think that this matter is unaware, but have you ever thought that instead of encouraging the patriarch to open the ancestral hall and deal with Wang Fulin's nephew, as you think, Wang Daokun also sent someone to send me a letter back, and even took advantage of the moment when the brocade guards escorted me home, and directly sent it to me in front of a large group of people! ”
This time, even Zhang Sijiao suddenly changed color, turned around and stared at Zhang Taizheng in disbelief and asked, "Da Lang, you actually wrote a letter to Wang Daokun in your father's name?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Taizheng bit his lip and didn't say a word, Zhang Sijiao suddenly trembled with anger, and he was even more angry than Zhang Siwei: "You and your brother were sent back to your hometown in Puzhou before, and the old lady personally urged you to study, your daughter-in-law and the old lady had a bad quarrel, you ran out secretly, and I gave you a sloppy eye at home." Even if you go to Beijing and encounter your father being framed and ruining your reputation due to such a big thing, I still talk about it in front of the old lady, the old lady and your daughter-in-law...... You're twenty-seven or eighteen years old, why are you so ignorant! ”
Zhang Taizheng never expected that the third uncle, who had always helped him the most, would blame himself like this. He endured and endured, and finally couldn't help shouting at this moment: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have written to Wang Daokun in the name of my father, I should die!" As long as my father and third uncle are willing, then I will kill me, an unscrupulous son of the Zhang family! ”
Seeing that the eldest son he had always cultivated carefully knelt on the ground so upright, looking more sad than dead, Zhang Siwei only felt that the green tendons on his forehead were about to burst one by one. His eyes quickly selected things on the desk, and finally grabbed an inkstone and was about to throw it out, when it was too late, Zhang Sijiao rushed forward with an arrow and snatched the thing in his hand violently. Rao is like this, Zhang Siwei, who fell into the chair, is still trembling with anger.
"I'm a dignified assistant to suggest that Wang Daokun opened an ancestral hall to deal with his nephew Wang Fulin, what does your head have to look like to come up with such a bad idea? You say, "What reason do you use?" What reason did you say in front of your third uncle? ”
In the past, when he was the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson of the eldest house, Zhang Taizheng only felt that he was going well, and everyone flattered him when he walked outside, but since he made a mistake with his younger brother and was sent back to Puzhou a few years ago, he realized that the cousins in the family treated them much worse than before, and the attitude of the step-grandmother changed the most, otherwise he would not be angry with his daughter-in-law. However, even at that time, Zhang Sijiao's attitude was still firm and clear, which was his only reliance. Therefore, just now Zhang Sijiao was even more heartbroken than Zhang Siwei, and Zhang Taizheng couldn't stand it all of a sudden, and he actually broke the jar.
But at this moment, Zhang Sijiao snatched the inkstone from his father's hand, but he still didn't intercede, and his father asked such a reason directly, and Zhang Taizheng's face suddenly turned a little paler. He wanted to be silent, but he never thought that Zhang Sijiao would follow up and ask: "Da Lang, you tell the truth, I can still intercede with your father, if you don't say it, then I will fight for Puzhou Zhang's reputation for many years, and I can't let your father carry this black cauldron, so I have to ask the old lady to open an ancestral hall and expel you, a bad child!" ”
This time, Zhang Taizheng was really scared. If there is no name of the eldest grandson of the Zhang family in Puzhou, and if there is no protection of the Zhang family, then can he still have a way to live? He almost couldn't believe that this was what the third uncle who had always defended himself said, and when he saw his father's iron-blue face, he finally threw away the last trace of luck, and the whole person suddenly went limp.
"It's that Wang Fulin's wife is the daughter of the Ye family, and when the rumors of the identity of the obvious doubt spread the most, I wrote the letter," Speaking of this, Zhang Taizheng unconsciously brought out a little crying, "Later, my father told me that the identity of the Ye family is not important, and it is important that the Wang family agrees, but at that time, the letter has already been sent, and it is too late to chase after it......"
Speaking of which, Zhang Taizheng's first feeling was not a piercing regret, but a hatred for why Wang Fulin had such good luck. is obviously a servant girl of the Ye family, how could she become Hu Zongxian's daughter. Because of this rumor, many officials in the DPRK and China who sympathized with Hu Zongxian's past experience unconsciously also stood on Wang Fulin's side, just because Wang Fulin was not afraid of people's jokes, and would rather accept the daughter of the Hu family who married as the daughter of the Ye family.
And when he heard that Zhang Taizheng was actually using this matter in a vain attempt to impress Wang Daokun, Zhang Siwei was even more furious. He took a deep breath, pointed to the door and shouted angrily, "Get out, you get out of here!" When you mentioned this to me that time, I already wanted to say that the pattern is so low, even if you are reluctant to become an official in the future, the Zhang family will only fall! Get out, get out of here! ”
Zhang Taizheng was like being struck by lightning, and went to see Zhang Sijiao as if he was asking for help, and saw that his face was also sinking like water, and he had no intention of interceding for himself, so desperate he could only get up on his knees and stumble towards the door. When he went out, he took one last look back, but all he saw was the silent appearance of his father and third uncle. At that moment, he finally realized that he had thought about what it would be like if things were revealed a thousand times and ten thousand times before, but he still underestimated the consequences of such a thing after all.
And when Zhang Taizheng disappeared outside the door, he must not have the courage to eavesdrop outside, Zhang Sijiao said softly: "Wang Daokun actually sent back a letter in such a high-profile manner to show his attitude, which shows that he has indeed given up the heart of recovery, and the Wang family of Songmingshan now only has two jinshi, Wang Daoguan and Wang Fulin, of course, will not sacrifice Wang Fulin, a promising child, so Wang Daokun, who has already given his way, can be said to be forced by the clan to express his position. From this point of view, Da Lang is indeed too low. However, big brother, even if Da Lang is beaten to death, it will not help. ”
Seeing that Zhang Siwei didn't answer, but obviously acquiesced to this answer, Zhang Sijiao asked softly: "Big brother, as soon as I arrived in Beijing, I heard that Yuan Fu was sick, and he has been recuperating at home for several days without seeing anyone. It's already this time, do you have any plans? (To be continued.) )
