Chapter 227: Governor Zhang Rui

"Zhang Rui?" Zhou Chong, who had just put down his chopsticks, heard the report of his subordinates, and was also stunned at the moment, although he had expected that the other party would come to find him, but he didn't expect that the other party only saw Mengwan yesterday, and he came to the door this morning, it seems that this Zhang Rui is really an urgent child.

When Bai Mengwan next to her heard the name "Zhang Rui", her body was also stiff, and she looked up at Zhou Zhong with a nervous face. Zhou Zhong also noticed the expression on Bai Mengwan's face, and immediately showed her a reassuring smile, and then explained a few words to Jinxuan and them, before standing up and turning around and going to the living room in the front yard.

For this Zhang Rui, he had already heard a lot of things from Wu Shan yesterday, and combined with what Bai Mengwan said, Zhou Zhong already had a lot of understanding of Zhang Rui, the governor of Dongchang, but whether it was Wu Shan or Bai Mengwan, they didn't know what Zhang Rui would do from a man to a eunuch.

Speaking of which, Wu Shan is also a well-informed person in the capital, but the Zhang Rui he knows only started after the other party entered the palace, according to him, Zhang Rui did go to the palace in three or four years, probably because he was originally good at writing, so he was quickly appreciated by Zhang Yong, and was accepted by Zhang Yong as a righteous son, and since then, this is probably the reason why Zhang Rui changed his surname, and Zhang Rui has been following Zhang Yong since then.

A few months ago, Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing teamed up to get rid of Liu Jin, and as a result, Zhang Yong's prestige increased greatly for a while, replacing Liu Jin as the palm seal eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, Zhang Rui as Zhang Yong's righteous son, naturally the tide is also rising, and he was promoted to the eunuch of the East Factory at a young age. He is one of the hottest eunuchs in the palace now.

When Liu Jin was in power. The East Factory can be described as arrogant. Jin Yiwei can only be regarded as the follower of the East Factory, but now that Liu Jin is dead, the East Factory, as Liu Jin's accomplice, is naturally suppressed, and Zhang Rui has not taken over the East Factory for a long time, and the Jin Yiwei has commanded Qian Ning to be too strong, so now the situation is completely reversed, and the East Factory has become Jinyiwei's follower. Zhang Rui's life as a governor was not easy, when he saw Bai Mengwan yesterday, he found that Wu Shan, who was Qian Ning's confidant, was also there, which made him feel very jealous, so he didn't dare to rob people on the spot, but inquired about the situation and left.

Thinking of Zhang Rui's matter, Zhou Chong soon came to the living room in front, this is Wang Lun's home, but Wang Lun went to the court early in the morning, so the affairs at home are generally handled by Zhou Chong. When he entered the living room. It was found that there was a young eunuch in his twenties sitting in the hall, who was very handsome. It's just that his face is cold, and his eyes are as narrow as knives, and when they are swept by these eyes, it always makes people feel uncomfortable.

No need to ask, this young eunuch must be the legendary Zhang Rui, and at that moment, I saw Zhou Chong walking into the living room with a smile and saying: "I don't know if the governor is here, Zhou has missed the distance, it is really rude!" ”

Zhou Zhong is a businessman, and he dealt with people a lot when he was in Shuangyu Port, so he is also very proficient in these polite entertainments, although he and Zhang Rui didn't know each other before, but now he still acts like an old friend for many years.

For Zhou Chong's enthusiasm, Zhang Rui, who had a cold face, rarely picked the corner of his mouth, revealing a stiff smile, and at the same time stood up and said: "Zhou Gongzi is polite, the Sprinkle family took the liberty to come to visit, it should be me who is rude, but the Sprinkle family really has something important to discuss with Zhou Gongzi, so please don't blame Gongzi!" ”

Zhang Rui can be the position of the governor of the East Factory, and the news is naturally very well-informed, he knows that although Zhou Chong in front of him is just a small smuggler on the surface, he has an extremely mysterious background, and it seems to be very valued by His Majesty the Emperor, not only personally gave the other party a marriage, but even sent Wu Shan these brocade guards to protect, so for Zhou Chong, Zhang Rui didn't want to offend too much.

Seeing Zhang Rui so polite to himself, Zhou Chong was also proud, yesterday Wu Shan told him that although Zhang Rui was in charge of the East Factory and had Zhang Yong as a backer behind him, but with the importance of Zhou Zhong under the emperor's majesty, he didn't have to be afraid of offending Zhang Rui at all. Although Zhou Zhong didn't know whether Wu Shan's words were credible, he had already made up his mind in his heart, if Zhang Rui dared to threaten him and ask him to hand over the Bai sisters, then even if he turned his face on the spot with the other party, he would have to protect the Bai sisters!

"The governor is busy with official business, I don't know why I came to see Zhou today?" I saw Zhou Zhong and Zhang Rui say a few more polite words, and finally asked each other about their intentions. Zhang Rui has always had a cold face, and his eyes are like knives when he looks at people, and there is even a very uncomfortable feeling in his eyes, so Zhou Zhong wants to send the other party away as soon as possible.

Hearing Zhou Chong ask about his intentions, a trace of fluctuation finally flashed on Zhang Rui's face, but he quickly regained that cold expression, and said in a tone without any emotional fluctuations: "Zhou Gongzi, the Sprinkle family came today to ask for something, I hope Gongzi will not shirk!" ”

"Oh? With the power of the Governor, what else in the world can stump the Governor? Zhou is just a businessman, what can he do to help the governor? Zhou Chong's heart sank when he heard this, and then he asked knowingly, the tone of his words was already a little unkind, hoping that Zhang Rui could retreat when he heard it.

However, to Zhou Chong's disappointment, Zhang Rui didn't seem to hear his words, and still said coldly: "Yesterday, the Sprinkle family went to Yong'an Zen Temple on business, but I didn't expect to meet the wife and sister before the Sprinkle family entered the palace, because of some misunderstandings, my wife and sister-in-law left me with my daughter, I was also very annoyed about this, and I have been looking for a chance to explain this misunderstanding to them, but I have not been able to find it, I didn't expect to see my wife and sister with the son's wife yesterday, And I also know that my wife and daughter are also with Childe, so the Sprinkle family came to visit, hoping that Childe can hand them over to me! ”

Sure enough, as Zhou Zhong expected, Zhang Rui came to ask for someone today. I saw that when Zhou Chong heard this, the smile on his face suddenly closed, but at the moment he said with a straight face: "Why can't Zhou understand what the governor said, among the female dependents who went to Yong'an Zen Temple with me yesterday, in addition to Zhou's wife and sister, there is also a Buddha machine woman, and the last two are also my women, I don't know which one the governor said?" ”

The meaning of Zhou Chong's words has been said very clearly, that is, to tell Zhang Rui that Bai Mengwan is his own woman, and it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over people to the other party, the reason why he did not explicitly refuse is that he does not want to tear his face with Zhang Rui, so that the other party can retreat, after all, in a place like the capital, it is definitely not a good thing to offend a governor of Dongchang.

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Zhang Rui did not show an expression of surprise, after all, when he saw Bai Mengwan and Zhou Chong's wife together yesterday, he had already guessed this result, but he was a very persistent person, so he spoke again: "Zhou Gongzi, the wife of the Sprinkle family before entering the palace was named Bai Junwan, and the woman who was with the son was her sister Bai Mengwan, since Mengwan is already the daughter of the son, the Sprinkle family will naturally not win the love, I just hope that the son can hand over the daughter of Junwan and the Sprinkle family to me!" ”

It was precisely because he couldn't figure out Zhou Chong's background, so Zhang Rui took the initiative to take a step back and proposed that as long as Bai Junwan and his daughter Qingqing, in his opinion, it was enough to give Zhou Chong face, if it were an ordinary person, Zhang Rui would not only not say so much nonsense, but even sent the fans of Dongchang to arrest the other party, and then forced him to hand over the Bai sisters.

However, Zhou Chong sneered when he heard this, Bai Mengwan was sincere to himself, and he also liked each other very much, so he not only had to protect the other party, but also the relatives around Bai Mengwan, in addition, Bai Junwan did a very good job in the Chamber of Commerce, Sanniang has already cultivated her as her successor, such an important assistant, as the president, Zhou Chong naturally can't hand over because of the threat of others, otherwise what will the people in the Chamber of Commerce think of him?

It was precisely when he thought of this that he saw Zhou Zhong raise his head and glance at Zhang Rui, and said expressionlessly: "I'm really sorry, Junwan has now joined my Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and has done a very good job, and now has become one of my important assistants, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I naturally can't hand over my subordinates to others to deal with, so I hope the governor will forgive me!" ”

"You ......" Hearing that Zhou Chong was so faceless, he refused his request again, which made Zhang Rui finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and suddenly stood up and glared at Zhou Chong, his originally cold face was also full of anger, since he sat in the position of the governor of Dongchang, no one in the entire capital dared to give him such face.

Zhou Zhong has been staring at Zhang Rui's eyes, when he saw the kind of resentful hatred in the other party's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since he saw Zhang Rui, he knew that the other party was the person with extreme thoughts, and he was either a friend or an enemy to others, and now that he had offended the other party, Zhang Rui must have listed him as an enemy. And once a person like Zhang Rui hates a person, he will bite like a mad dog, and it seems that he will be careful in the future.

"Zhou Gongzi, the Sprinkle family advises you to think about it again, Junwan is my wife, Qingqing is my daughter, whether it is love or reason, they should return to my side, if someone wants to forcibly tear our family apart, then don't blame the Sprinkle family for unscrupulous means!" Although Zhang Rui had already listed Zhou Zhong as an enemy, he still resisted the urge to tear his face and spoke, but the last sentence had already used a threatening tone.

Zhou Zhong is also a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, and when he heard Zhang Rui's threat, he also sneered at the moment: "The Governor has already entered the palace, and naturally he doesn't need any wives and daughters, so Junwan and their affairs don't worry about the Governor, and Zhou will take care of their mother and daughter on behalf of the Governor in the future!"
