The wedding of the mouse was supposed to be held in the first month, but the first month of the tiger army was busy fighting, and as the manager of the intelligence department, the mouse was naturally not available. In the face of war, all personal emotions must be fully conceded. In February, the work of the Tiger Ben Army was also very busy, and the result was postponed.

Holding the wedding at the end of February was decided by Zhang Zhun. Originally, the mouse thought that it didn't matter if he continued to push back, it didn't matter if it was March or April, anyway, he wasn't in a hurry. However, Zhang Zhun decided to complete the marriage of the mouse in February. You are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry! I'm still waiting to marry your sister, how long are you going to delay?

Because of the impact of the war, many people are busy, and only those who are more relaxed have time to come to the wedding. It seems that Wang Mingyu, Liu Hang and others will never be able to get out. Since the imperial court had already clarified Zhang Zhun's identity as an anti-thief, some people also hesitated. Therefore, there were not as many guests who came to the wedding as there were at Yang Ruijin's wedding last time, and the scene was not as lively as last time.

Of course, the people around Zhang Zhun basically came. Only Ning Lingwei and the White Lady are exceptions. Ning Lingwei really doesn't like this kind of scene. The White Lady was more than five months pregnant, and Ning Lingwei suggested that she not attend such an occasion to avoid accidents. The character of the white lady is lively and active, and when she encounters something happy, she can't help but go up to join in the fun. It's crowded, and God knows if there will be any accidents. If you don't want to be hit in the stomach, the consequences can be very reasonable, and Zhang Zhun agrees with Ning Lingwei's opinion. So, the two of them stayed in Aster.

Shen Lingfei, who likes to join in the fun, is naturally here. This eldest sister recently handed over all the business matters to her maid Sisi, and she also called it a hands-off training. Poor Miss Sisi, who has to take care of this eldest sister and run Shen Lingfei's business, she can be seen everywhere inside and out, and she has really become an all-rounder.

Ji Yuqing naturally came. Not only did she come, but she also became the chief steward of the wedding. Because she handled the aster in an orderly manner, Yang Yinghan was very happy, such a big scene, naturally invited Ji Yuqing to come out. Sure enough, the boss of Jinling Yuqing Building came out and divided all the affairs by two, which was amazing.

Huang Shilang and Guo Mingtai naturally also came. The two of them are now a little blessed. The main thing is that life is relatively comfortable and begins to grow meat. Zhang Zhun was included in the list of traitors, and neither of them felt any surprise, what Zhang Zhun did was a rebellion, but now it is just public. At this time, the two of them should actively express their support for Zhang Zhun.

The two chatted with Zhang Zhun and talked about things in Haizhou. Since Zhang Zhun left Huai'an Mansion, Shi Kefa also went back to Beijing in a huff. Because his collection task in Yangzhou City was not completed, it is entirely possible that he will be reprimanded or even belittled when he goes back this time. As for Zhang Shenyan, he was also reprimanded, then degraded, and has now been dismissed. According to his meaning, it is very likely that he will go back to his hometown of Yangcheng, Shanxi Province to retire.

"Going home to retire?"

Zhang Zhun couldn't help frowning quietly.

In fact, Zhang Zhun's impression of Zhang Shenyan is still very good. Zhang Shenyan has the ability and integrity, and he is really a rare good official. As long as it is used in the right position, Zhang Shenyan is definitely a good hand at handling government affairs. The most rare thing is that Zhang Shenyan also served as a waiter in the criminal department, and is known for his iron-faced selflessness.

If he were to rule the law, all the nights would be three points of fear.

However, it is very difficult to invite Zhang Shenyan here. Zhang Zhun can also perceive that Zhang Shenyan has a certain good impression of himself, and he wants to win himself over and serve the imperial court. However, herein lies the problem. Zhang Zhun wanted to win Zhang Shenyan over and rebel together. Zhang Shenyan wanted to win Zhang Zhun over, work for the imperial court, and suppress the peasant army rebellion.

"Perhaps, you can ask Gao Hongtu to write a letter."

Zhang Zhun said to himself.

Zhang Shenyan and Gao Hongtu are both Jinshi of Wanli for 30 years, and they should have a certain friendship. The two have been demoted several times because of the impeachment of adulterers, and they should have a common language. Both of them have a common enemy, that is, the traitors in the court. As long as there is a common language, a common enemy, it is possible to unite together.

Well, the next time I see Gao Hongtu, I want to ask him to write as soon as possible. If it doesn't work once, then twice. If it doesn't work twice, then three times. If Gao Hongtu can't write a letter, then he will personally go out and invite him. Such a talent, even if it is a three-way house, it is definitely worth it. If the imperial court appoints and dismisses Zhang Shenyan from his official position at that time, he will lose this golden opportunity.

Let's talk about business. Zhang Zhun has now become a thief accused of the whole world, but the illegal salt business has not been affected. On the contrary, due to the war in Henan, Shandong's salt was more scarce and sold better. Other smuggler salt dealers knew that it was refined salt from Zhang Zhun's side, but they deliberately pretended not to know. In these years, as long as you have money to make, you are not a thief.

"It would be better if we cut off the luck."

Huang Shilang is full of longing.

"That's right! If the canal is cut off, the salt refining business will be at least twice as good! ”

Guo Mingtai also stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Now the Grand Canal has become the only way for Jiangnan to transport materials to the north. Food, clothing, salt and other materials needed in the north need to be transported in large quantities through the canal. There are many rich and noble families in the capital, and they have a great demand for refined salt, as long as the canal is cut off, Zhang Zhun's refined salt will basically monopolize the entire northern market. The most conservative estimate is that you can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year.

Geographically, it is not very difficult to cut the canal. Zhang Zhun led his troops from the East China Sea, and a long-distance attack could reach the edge of the canal. Of course, this is just a beautiful idea. Because, Zhang Zhun has not yet digested the Laizhou Mansion, and he has no ability to make bigger moves. Now Zhang Zhun has to lie dormant for a few months seriously, and lay a solid foundation under his buttocks.

However, as long as Zhang Zhun digests the Laizhou Mansion and accumulates a set of policies and experience to effectively control the new territory here, he will digest the new territory much faster in the future. Especially Gao Hongtu and others, they should soon be able to gather a group of cultural people. Under the stimulus, a group of hot-blooded young people will also join Zhang Zhun's command. With the talents cultivated by the Laizhou government, it is not a problem to take over the entire territory of Shandong.

After Zhang Fuxian was dismissed, Han Zanzhou took over as the eunuch of Nanjing. The Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department was replaced by Wang Shi. According to the edict of the imperial court, Han Zanzhou and Wang Shi wrote Jiangnan and forbade anyone to do business with Zhang Zhun, otherwise, they would be punished for the same crime. For this reason, Shen Lingfei was also declared a fellow rebel. The Shen family in Suzhou hurriedly stated that Shen Yifei had been separated from the Su family for a long time, and sent a large amount of money to dredge up the relationship between all parties, which was barely kept. However, the Shen family in Suzhou hated Zhang Zhun and Shen Lingfei even more.

Due to Zhang Zhun's identity as an anti-thief, Jiangnan's glass business has been affected to a certain extent. The big families in Jiangnan did not dare to openly take over Zhang Zhun's glass business, for fear of being attacked by the enemy and causing unnecessary trouble for themselves. However, the profits of glass are indeed very rich, and they are unwilling to give up. So, I didn't dare to accept it on the surface, but I still can't do it secretly. It's just that the profit of glass is slightly lower. Each box is about five hundred taels of silver.

"Five hundred taels, okay." Zhang Zhun said disappreciably.

People die for money, birds die for food, as long as there are good things, are you afraid that no one will take over?

When he has enough strength to go south again and shake Jiangnan, I believe that those big merchants will have no scruples. He can pull Zhang Rongxian and Ma Shiying off the horse, and naturally he can also pull Han Zanzhou and Wang Feng off the horse. In Zhang Zhun's eyes, Jiangnan is a cornucopia, as long as there is a chance, there will be no problem to come back with a lot of money. I went to Zhenjiang Mansion last time, where should I go next time? Yangzhou Mansion? Matsue Mansion? Suzhou Mansion?

After chatting for a while, Zhang Zhun went out to greet the guests. Now he appears as a criminal and a traitor in the imperial court. The guests who dared to appear here were all his Gu Qian supporters, and he naturally wanted to meet them, talk, and learn about relevant information by the way. At this time, it is very necessary to increase mutual friendship and help stabilize everyone's minds.

As he was talking, Zhang Zhun suddenly subconsciously turned his head and looked at his oblique back. It turned out to be a very handsome young man, who was approaching Zhang Zhun gracefully. He served magnificently. With handsome cheeks, a long figure, a gold-painted paper fan in his hand, and two black eyes shining like black gems, he is indeed a romantic figure.

However, this is not the most crucial thing, the most crucial thing is that she is a woman dressed as a man! Although her dressing skills are very clever and she can hide from most people, she can't fool Zhang Zhun. By Zhang Zhun's side, there is a Liu Ruyi, who is also very good at dressing as a man. For the ability to identify women, Zhang Zhun can be said to be perfect.

She came to Zhang Zhun, smiled slightly, two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, and at the same time showed her white teeth, and said politely: "Lord Dudu, the woman is polite." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "Which sister are you?" ”

She smiled slightly, her eyes flashed, and she said gently: "The woman's surname is Dong, and she is from Linqing.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "It turned out to be Miss Dong." ”

Miss Dong smiled and said: "Lord Governor is so approachable, it is really beyond the woman's expectations, I thought that Lord Governor is holding an army of millions and is in charge of thousands of living beings, he must be decisive in killing, and he has a strong heart, I didn't expect to be so young." ”

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you sit down first, drink a few glasses of water and wine, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

Miss Dong's dark eyes rolled slightly, the dimples on her cheeks became more obvious, and she frowned lightly and said, "Lord Du Du is so busy, can't he accompany the woman to say a few words?" ”

Zhang Zhun said quietly: "What do you want to say?" ”

Miss Dong said with a smile: "The woman wants to give the adult a gift." ”

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "What kind of courtesy?"

Miss Dong said: "Please also ask Lord Du to move the jade step lightly, the gift is nearby." ”

Say goodbye, and ascend the road ahead.

Zhang Zhun nodded and followed her.

Yuwen Hantao and the others behind him naturally followed.

The gift that Miss Dong brought was actually a huge box, which was placed on the fork in the road next to it. The appearance of the box is not shabby, nor is it gorgeous. Many people use such boxes for their valuables at home. If such a large chest were to be filled with gold and silver, I am afraid that there would be two or three thousand taels. Obviously, this is not possible. There's no way she's going to send herself a chest full of silver. Zhang Zhun is confident that his royal spirit has not yet reached such a strong point.

Yuwen Hantao opened the box.

The surrounding Tiger Ben soldiers immediately aimed their guns at the inside of the box. There are also people who pointed their guns at Miss Dong, their faces full of vigilance. As long as an order is given, Dong Gulang will immediately die, covered with bullets. In their eyes, there is no concept of beauty.

Zhang Zhun frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Miss Dong next to him.

It turned out that inside the box, there was actually a huddled figure. Not an imaginary beauty, but an ugly man. He was in his fifties and had dark skin. There is a large black mole on the forehead. Because of his rickety stature, he was packed in a box, but it didn't look cramped.

Facing the muzzle of the black hole, Miss Dong did not panic at all, and said indifferently: "This is the gift that the son gave to the adult." ”

Zhang Zhun looked motionless, and said slowly: "Who is he?" ”

Miss Dong said casually: "Your Excellency may wish to interrogate and interrogate in person" Lady Bu will not delay the adult's time. Now that the gift had been delivered, the woman took her leave. ”

After that, he arched his hand towards Zhang Zhun and really left.

Zhang Zhun looked at her back and nodded thoughtfully.

Yuwen Hantao and the others wanted to intercept it, Zhang Zhun shook his head lightly and let Miss Dong leave.

The winger then brought a bucket of cold water and poured it into the box.

The ugly man in the box suddenly woke up.

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Who are you?" ”

The ugly man looked around, his face full of horror, and it seemed that he must have been frightened a lot.

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "I'm Zhang Zhun!" My time is precious! Don't talk nonsense with me! ”

Hearing Zhang Zhun report to his home, the ugly man's face suddenly changed, his body softened, as if he was about to curl up again, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, spare my life!" ”

Zhang Zhun looked at him expressionlessly.

Yuwen Hantao went up with the butt of a gun, smashed it on the ugly man's body, and shouted fiercely: "My lord wants to ask you!" Answer honestly, what are you crying about? ”

The ugly man hurriedly stopped.

Zhang Zhun circled around the box twice, and suddenly appeared, under the ugly man, there were some very familiar utensils. Some utensils used to blow poison needles. He understood right away. In Laiyang that day, he was plotted by such a poisonous needle. Seeing these blowing tools, the identity of the ugly man is self-evident.

Zhang Zhun asked in a deep voice, "Are you a person from the Smelling Fragrance Sect?" ”

The ugly man was shocked, and said reflexively: "

Zhang Zhun nodded inadvertently, and said quietly: "What is the origin of the girl surnamed Dong who arrested you?" ”

The ugly man was more and more shocked, as if he had thought of something very terrible, and his face couldn't help but distort. It's a horror from the heart, an unbearable horror. He couldn't even speak. After a long while, he stammered: "Her name is Dong Shuyan, and she is the apprentice of Xu, Xu, and Xu Qingluan."

Zhang Zhun vaguely guessed the cause and effect of the incident, and said coldly: "Tell me everything you know." ”

The ugly man had obviously been taught a lesson, and he didn't dare to refuse any of Zhang Zhun's questions at all, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I said, I said, I said." ”

It turned out that this ugly man, nicknamed Three-Eyed Toad, the original Mingyu, even he forgot about himself, anyway, others called him Three-Eyed Toad. Three-eyed means that he has a huge black mole on his forehead. He was a subordinate of Wang Yilun, the leader of the Smelling Fragrance Sect. The last time he plotted against Zhang Zhun in Laiyang, he planned it. He was also responsible for teaching the technique of blowing needles. This, of course, was the instruction of King Galen.

Wang Yilun wanted him to kill Jizhun no matter what method he adopted.

After listening to the description of the three-eyed toad, Zhang Zhun frowned secretly, Dong Shuyan sent the three-eyed toad to Zigong, what did it mean? Is it to clarify this matter, and it has nothing to do with Xu Qingluan? Just Wang Yilun's personal behavior? What is the purpose of clarifying this matter? Is it to use his own power to destroy King Galen?

"Someone, take him down, take care of him!" Zhang Kuan said calmly.

The winger and the others found a rope and tied up the three-eyed toad and took it away.

Zhang Zhun stood in place, pacing back and forth, thinking about Dong Shuyan's intention to appear at this time. If Xu Qingluan wanted to use this way to show her innocence, it would mean that Wenxiangjiao was obviously ready to ask for herself. So, what does the Smell Fragrance Sect ask of itself? What benefits does Xu Qingluan want to get from himself?

The believers of the Wenxiang Sect gathered in Laiyang in large numbers, obviously to prepare for the event. At present, the troops in various parts of Shandong are very empty, and the Wenxiang Sect's move in Laiyang is also in line with Zhang Zhun's interests, so he is not prepared to use force to get involved. The strange thing is that Zhang Zhun didn't want to have a relationship with the Wenxiang Sect, but the people from the Wenxiang Sect came to the door, and they still came to the door in such a strange way.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone say, "Hey, Yulin, I heard that you were taken away by a handsome young man who was too beautiful to be presentable, why did you only see you here, but not him?" Wouldn't you have fallen in love with Long Yang's broken sleeves and hid him? ”

Zhang Zhun looked up and saw a big sister smiling.

Needless to say, it is naturally Sun Weina, who unceremoniously considers herself Zhang Zhun's sister.
