Chapter 579: The Joys and Sorrows of the Little People
As the highest chief executive in Zhoushan, Zhang Pei, the mayor of the town, has been very distressed recently. , especially these days, it's a time of distress.
Every day, I walked around the room with my hands behind my back, sighing and frowning.
Even the flower-like concubine who just had a room like flowers and jade didn't have the heart to pamper her.
The origin of the troubles comes from the peach blossom manor in the south of the city. To be precise, it is the owner of Peach Blossom Manor.
Zhoushan is far away from Tokyo, and the people here often go out to sea to fish, so they form gangs. I have developed a habit of huddles. To put it bluntly, it is xenophobic.
Perhaps due to the influence of the local atmosphere, the officials who have served here have also become a little over-the-top and look down on outsiders.
This kind of arrogance of Yelang is vividly manifested in Zhang Pei's body.
At first, when he heard that the owner of the manor wanted to buy a peach forest in the south of the city here, Zhang Pei was extremely disdainful of this person.
Before this person came, he was the richest man in Zhoushan.
But since he came. His local reputation was greatly affected, and the people no longer talked about their power and wealth. It's the mysterious manor outside the city, how beautiful the scenery is. Speculating on the background of the mysterious figure.
Zhang Pei was very uncomfortable with the huge gap between before and after. Out of jealousy in his heart, he was unhappy in his heart, and with the help of his status as the mayor of the town, he made things difficult for the owner of the manor.
After that man became the owner of the Peach Blossom Manor, he was interested in the place that was called the Peach Paradise by the people in the city, and he wanted to repent, and took it back by force. But when it comes to the bad impact, I just give up. I just told the owner of the manor that I had to pay taxes on the land. wants to use this means to force this person to take the initiative to give up Peach Blossom Manor.
However, the other party seems to be really a gentleman, and he shows that he understands it so clearly, he still doesn't understand anything.
Obediently paid the taxes.
But in this way, Zhang Pei didn't know what to do for a while. ,
In the past few months, the local clans and outsiders who are envious, jealous and hateful of the excellent feng shui of the Peach Blossom Manor have been constantly putting pressure on themselves to get rid of this foreigner.
Zhang Pei also had a lot of trouble with this.
A month ago, Zhang Pei finally came up with a brilliant idea.
That is, with the help of the provisions issued by the imperial court to strengthen the construction of coastal defense, in the name of establishing a coastal defense barracks, forcibly conscripted the land of Taohua Manor.
Just when Zhang Pei was extremely happy, he was about to take this idea and communicate with the local big households.
The master, who returned home from visiting relatives, suddenly brought back a big news.
Kong Kanglian, a scholar of Hanlin Academy, actually came to the small place of Zhoushan. Moreover, Master Kong Kanglian, who came in Weifu, did not inform the local officials of his place, and did not even look at it, but went straight to the Peach Blossom Manor outside the city.
After hearing the news, Zhang Pei was extremely panicked.
It turns out that the owner of the Peach Blossom Manor has an unusual identity.
can make Kong Kanglian, the hard bone of the Great Zhou civilization, come to visit in person. This man......
Who the hell is he?
Zhang Pei spent the long Spring Festival in trepidation. When it was finally the Lantern Festival, Zhang Pei sent a close cronie to bring back a message that almost scared Zhang Pei to death in the opera garden.
The owner of the Peach Blossom Manor turned out to be the emperor of the dynasty, the marshal of the three armies who conquered the Turks, and the teacher of the prince. Lv Heng, Lv Yongzheng.
After hearing the news, Zhang Pei, who was sitting in the mansion and laughing with his concubine, had a trembling hand, and the teacup fell to the ground with a clatter, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
After finally stabilizing his frightened heart, Zhang Pei didn't say a word, and was about to go to Peach Blossom Manor to see the emperor. By the way, I apologize and ask for peace.
However, before he could get dressed and go out. , I heard the report of the housekeeper coming back in a hurry. said that the young master was detained by the people of the Peach Blossom Manor.
Hearing this, Zhang Pei's eyes turned black, and he suddenly felt that the world was spinning. Almost fell to the ground.
After asking anxiously, I realized that my unfilial son actually ate the gall of an ambitious leopard, and actually went to tease Mrs. Emperor.
Zhang Pei, who was frightened and uneasy in his heart, staggered down on the chair and exclaimed sadly: "The erector mistook me!" ”。
An hour later, though.
His unfilial son came back crying.
The son, who came back unharmed, seemed to be a different person, and vowed that he would become a monk. It is said that it is to benefit all sentient beings and save the suffering.
The resoluteness of the attitude has not been seen in 18 years.
After Zhang Pei came to his senses, before he could take a sip of tea, he heard this unfilial son say that he was going to get married. Suddenly angry, it was dark in front of him. Without saying a word, he slapped it over.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Zhang Pei asked his family to lock the son of a monk in the room, not allowing him to take half a step.
So, for three months. In the west wing, every morning, noon and evening, you can hear my son reciting Buddhist scriptures there devoutly, accompanied by the sound of wooden fish tapping.
Dangdangdang......
After listening to the sound of the wooden fish for three months, Zhang Pei, who was already anxious in his heart, and was afraid that the emperor would come to find trouble every day, was about to go crazy.
And at this stall, Master Crow's Mouth once again told himself a big news.
The court servant shot Zhang Wenshan and Lord Zhang arrived, and he also went to Peach Blossom Manor.
When Zhang Pei heard the news, his face was like ashes. He sat down on the ground with a thud and muttered, "It's over, it's over."
In the house, the family members and maids saw the old man talking nonsense in despair. For a while, there was chaos, and the entire government became a pot of porridge.
In the end, it was the master who broke the heavens.
"The villain heard that four months ago, Lord Lu suddenly handed over his power and left the capital. The Manchu Dynasty was silent, and only the prince sent it alone! The master licked his lips, and his eyes flashed with a crazy light: "Moreover, it is rumored in Beijing that Lord Lu seems to have offended His Majesty!" That's why he was deposed! ”
"What's the point?" Zhang Pei asked puzzled.
The master swallowed his saliva and sneered: "No matter how beautiful he was at the beginning, he is just a criminal now. Not being sent to prison, it was just his luck. Sir, you are an official of one party, and you are sealed by the imperial court. Why should you be afraid of him as a guilty man? ”
It's no wonder that the master is so crazy to instigate the mayor. There was really no way for him.
Half of the damage tactics against Peach Blossom Manor released by the master at the beginning were from him, the master. If the emperor is in trouble, he will not be able to escape.
After some analysis by the master, Zhang Pei's eyes recovered some looks. The trembling body gradually calmed down.
He sat up slowly, took a sip of tea, and said in a trembling voice: "Well, according to what the master said." The old man is indeed a little worried! ”
Think carefully about the days when I was scared in the past six months. It seems that he really scared himself.
The owner of Peach Blossom Manor didn't do anything, didn't say anything. All the worries and fears are entirely due to the fact that I am a thief. Afraid of retaliation!
"Then according to the master's words, what should I do?" At the critical moment, Zhang Pei still kept an eye on it and asked the master.
The master knew that this was an adult's shirking, but he was already riding a tiger, so he had to offer advice again: "Lord Lu is guilty of a crime at this time. must not dare to publicize. Therefore, he can only swallow his anger at the provocations of others. This gives us a chance! ”
"What chance?" Zhang Pei's eyes lit up and he asked happily.
"First, Lord Lu is temporarily living in Zhoushan at this time, but he is swimming in shallow water. But after all, the other party is the emperor's teacher, the prince's teacher. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Lord Lu will inevitably soar again, that's for sure. Therefore, it would be unwise for us to offend him! The master's decent analysis caused Zhang Pei to roll his eyes on the side.
Isn't that?
The old man also knows that the other party can't afford to offend, but isn't this offended? The old man is asking you what to do, you *** said this nonsense, thinking that Lao Tzu doesn't understand? Think Lao Tzu is an idiot?
The master, who was too excited, also saw the sullen face of the owner, and after laughing dryly, he apologized, and then continued: "The person who wants the Peach Blossom Manor in the south of the city is the Wang family in the east of the city, what do you have to do with the master?" Sir, you are also deceived and innocent! As he spoke, the master winked at Zhang Pei violently, and his expression was self-evident.
It turned out to be a shirk!
When Zhang Pei heard this, he frowned: "But the Wang family is the official's brother-in-law!" ”
"Your Excellency!" The master said anxiously: "It's all this time, what are you still thinking about!" Big husband, you should have the courage of a strong man to break his wrist. If we don't use the Wang family to calm the anger of the emperor, when the time comes, let alone forget our home, we won't be able to keep our heads! ”
The master hated the iron and looked at his master, if it wasn't for the estimation of his identity, it was estimated that he would have the intention of beating him.
"Besides, his Wang family is just your concubine's maiden family, just a concubine's room. Why should an adult take his own life because of a concubine! ”
After the master sighed, he looked at his master expectantly, waiting for his reply.
After a long time, Zhang Pei nodded with a painful face, rubbed his fingers on his head, and sighed: "Okay, but it is rumored that the emperor has unpredictable wisdom. I'm afraid these methods can't hide the emperor's eyes! ”
For Lu Heng, a legend of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Pei, who lives in a corner, has also heard a lot. Even in the tavern in the city, most of those storytellers are talking about the famous name of this emperor.
For such a figure, who has passed through the whole country. Zhang Pei is really scared!
The master nodded with satisfaction, and then added: "Actually, the emperor will definitely be able to see through our minds. Still, that's okay. Importantly, we conveyed kindness to the Emperor. In addition, some gifts, the immortal-like characters of the emperor should not bother with us anymore! Moreover, Lord Lu is swimming in shallow water at this time, as long as the adults express enough kindness, presumably Lord Lu will be very moved. You know, it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow! ”
