"Young master, Master Wang has already sent someone back, he has now been reinstated, because some things have to be dealt with, so now he has left the capital and is rushing to Songjiang Mansion, and he will be able to reach Songjiang next month at the latest." The black and ugly rich man bowed down to report to Zhou Chongyu, who was sitting in the pavilion of the trading center.

Zhou Chong, who heard the good news, couldn't help but stand up from the stone bench all of a sudden, and then walked back and forth in the pavilion a few times, and then said very excitedly: "Very good, you have to keep an eye on Uncle Wang's movements, and tell me when he is about to arrive in Songjiang, and I will personally go to greet him then!" ”

Fugui also agreed after hearing this, and then reported the second thing to Zhou Chong, which was also good news for Zhou Chong, that is, Liu Jin finally fell, and Wang Lun no longer had to worry about being calculated by Liu Jin.

The news of Liu Jin's downfall seems to be very sudden, but in fact it is true, Liu Jin, who has been in Zhengde for five years, is at the peak of his life, and the entire court is controlled by his henchmen, it can be said that no one dares to disobey his orders, and even before he fell, almost no one thought that Liu Jin would fall suddenly, but after the last time, he did fall suddenly, and a large number of Liu Jin's henchmen were liquidated. However, some well-intentioned people found that the process of Liu Jin's downfall was strange everywhere.

After the rebellion of King Anhua in Ningxia, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong were ordered to lead a large army to quell the rebellion, but before their army arrived in Ningxia, Yang Yiqing's old subordinate Qiu Yue had already quelled the rebellion.

It was also during this period of pacification in Ningxia that Yang Yiqing, a foreign minister, and Zhang Yong, a foreign minister, intersected. In the end, I don't know why they colluded together. Prepare to make a concerted effort to move to Liu Jin. But this is the first strange thing about Liu Jin's downfall.

Yang Yiqing commanded the army with Wenchen, he was a person with a strong personality, and he had also done the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty, and he had never been accustomed to the people in the Eight Tigers, plus he had no friendship with Zhang Yong before, the two could almost be said to have met for the first time, but it was precisely under the first acquaintance of the two that they discussed such a big thing as getting rid of Liu Jin. Although there is an explanation in the history books, it is pointed out that Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong spontaneously united, and no one else participated at all, but this explanation is unconvincing in terms of reason and reason.

It makes sense for the two people who met for the first time to discuss getting rid of Liu Jin, but because Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong were holding on to their mouths, and it was also recorded in the history books, I am afraid that no one can answer this question.

But what happened next was even more weird, after Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong pacified Ningxia, their armies were all requisitioned from all over the country, and they should have been disbanded at this time. Let the armies of these places turn back to their stations. But in fact, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong did not do this, but returned to Beijing again with the army. Moreover, the date for their return to Beijing was originally set by Liu Jin himself, but Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong suddenly returned to the capital ahead of schedule.

Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, who returned to the capital in advance, dedicated the captives such as King Anhua to Emperor Zhengde, and at the same time there was a list of people who had contributed to the process of counterinsurgency, but at this time, Yang Yiqing suddenly spoke, attributing all the reasons for King Anhua's rebellion to Liu Jin, and listed more than a dozen of Liu Jin's major crimes, the most serious one was that Liu Jin had a heart of disobedience and wanted to rebel against himself as an emperor.

Originally, like Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, there was no basis for impeaching Liu Jin, and everything seemed so hurried, it should be impossible to bring down Liu Jin, after all, no matter how Liu Jin is now in power, his every move may involve the stability of the political situation in the Ming Dynasty, plus Liu Jin is deeply trusted by Emperor Zhengde, so if there is no conclusive evidence, it is impossible for Emperor Zhengde to move Liu Jin easily.

But the development of things was beyond everyone's expectations, Emperor Zhengde seemed to suddenly no longer trust Liu Jin, and was really moved by the words of Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, he first summoned the Eight Tigers in his own name, and then celebrated Zhang Yong's return, but after the banquet, Emperor Zhengde suddenly ordered Liu Jin to be imprisoned in the palace, and at the same time ordered Zhang Yong to personally raid Liu Jin's home.

Liu Jin's house was copied can be said to have pushed the whole thing to a climax, and at the same time, it is also full of weirdness, because in the process of raiding Liu Jin's mansion, there were many rumors about Liu Jin's rebellion inside and outside the court, and at the same time, a large number of gold and silver treasures, armor weapons and passages to the palace were also found in Liu Jin's house, and even found "ironclad evidence" of Liu Jin's rebellion, that is, a set of dragon robes, and a sharp blade hidden in the fan used by Liu Jin daily, which is said to be the murder weapon he was preparing to assassinate Emperor Zhengde.

In addition to Liu Jin, Liu Jin's henchmen such as Sun Cong and Zhang Cai were all arrested and imprisoned, and these people were tortured in Jinyi's prison, and soon many people admitted the fact that Liu Jin had rebelled, and now the witness was finally available, and Liu Jin's rebellion had almost been condemned to death, and there was no possibility of overturning the case.

Liu Jin's downfall is the same as when he came to power, all of them are rapid and abnormal, almost before many people have not reacted, everything has become a foregone conclusion, Liu Jin and his henchmen have been put in prison, Li Dongyang officially became the first assistant of the cabinet, and the officials who were persecuted by Liu Jin have also been rehabilitated one after another, as for Liu Jin's previous series of reforms to the government, whether good or bad, all have been erased, leaving no trace.

Zhou Zhong was still very happy at the beginning of Liu Jin's downfall, after all, it meant that he no longer had to worry about Wang Lun being persecuted by Liu Jin again, but soon he thought of another question, which made him frown.

Liu Jin has fallen, Xie Qian, who has been suppressed by Liu Jin before, will definitely be able to make a comeback, even if Xie Qian himself will not be out again, but as the leader of the Southern Shilin and the head of the officials in Yuyao, the potential power he has can be said to be very huge, so that it will definitely have a corresponding impact on the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce and the Hongjia Chamber of Commerce, and maybe even affect his own Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, this influence is good and bad, and he needs to find a time to plan well.

Wang Lun is coming back, Zhou Chong naturally wants to tell Wang Jinxuan the news, but he can't help but feel a headache when he thinks of going to see the other party, but no matter how much headache he has, he has to tell her the news in person, hoping that this news can make her happier.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong asked Fugui to go down and continue to inquire about the news, and he got up from the pavilion and prepared to leave, but just when he had just walked a few steps, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him, and the other party also saw him at this time, and said with great surprise: "Why are you here, boss, are you going to go back?" ”

Seeing the person in front of him, Zhou Zhong was also very surprised, and immediately spoke: "Wu Shan, why are you here, I heard Uncle Camel say that you were not sent to manage the port?" ”

It was Wu Shan, who had not been seen for many days, because of the theft of the Zhou Mansion last time, which made Zhou Zhong doubt Wu Shan's true identity, but after all, there was no evidence, so he was temporarily arranged to work under Uncle Camel, so that he could fulfill the righteousness of a friend, and let the old-eyed Uncle Camel help observe it.

However, after the observation in the past few months, Uncle Camel did not find anything wrong with Wu Shan, and usually worked hard to learn to do things with Uncle Camel, which won Uncle Camel's love, and now Uncle Camel has begun to really cultivate Wu Shan and let him take over some of the management of the port.

Hearing Zhou Chong's question, I saw Wu Shan raise a stack of documents in his hand and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, his old man has transferred me back from the port, and now I am starting to check the cargo information of the shippers in the trading center. ”

"Father-in-law? Do you really worship Uncle Camel as your father-in-law? Zhou Chong was very surprised when he heard this, Uncle Camel likes Wu Shan very much, plus both of them are surnamed Wu, and Uncle Camel has no son, so after the most reluctance, he also had the idea of accepting Wu Shan as a righteous son, and asked Zhou Chong before, and Zhou Chong felt that this was Uncle Camel's private matter, so he let him make his own decision, but he didn't expect to see him for a few days, Wu Shan really became Uncle Camel's righteous son.

Seeing Zhou Chong's surprised appearance, Wu Shan laughed a little embarrassed, and then said: "My father-in-law is very good to me, plus my parents died early, and no one has ever been so kind to me, so ...... Hey~"

Wu Shan still has the same honest appearance as before, which makes Zhou Zhong can't help but doubt his previous guess, if Wu Shan is really Jinyiwei, then his acting skills are really good.

Next, Zhou Zhong asked Wu Shan how he was doing in the Chamber of Commerce recently, and whether he had encountered any difficulties, but Wu Shan was very satisfied with his current life, and there were no difficulties, after all, Uncle Camel took care of him, and any difficulties were solved by Uncle Camel.

After the most remark, Zhou Zhong told Wu Shan to go to see Su Niang and Steward Xu more in the past few days, calculate the time, Su Niang's child is about to be born, but maybe because of pregnancy, Su Niang's temper has not become very good, during this time Steward Xu has not done anything, just stay at home with Su Niang, but even so, he often makes Su Niang unhappy, Wu Shan is Su Niang's godbrother, if he goes to visit Su Niang, it should make Su Niang's mood better.

After saying goodbye to Wu Shan, Zhou Chong walked out of the gate of the trading center and returned to his residence with Wangcai and a few other followers, it was already dusk, and it was estimated that Wang Jinxuan should eat at Aunt Wang's place now, so after Zhou Chong entered the inner house, he walked straight to Aunt Wang's courtyard.
