184, named Zhu Mian
"Ahem......"
Zhou Fu looked at these eager old brothers, coughed dryly twice, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
He is really embarrassed to say, they are all old brothers, even if they want to come to bargain, they have never cheated the father and son of the Zhou family.
But according to Zhou Quan's meaning, he wants to pit these old brothers......
Therefore, after he swallowed his words back, he changed his smiling face: "Brothers, let my child tell everyone about this." ”
With that, he trotted back into the floor.
The old brothers were a little incomprehensible, and some people laughed: "What is this, why do I think that Brother Zhou Fu is at home now, but some fathers are not happy?" ”
"Anyway, he has always been sluggish, and now it is normal for his father to be sluggish!"
Hearing this, Di Jiang couldn't listen to it anymore.
These guys are really unreasonable, or are they too used to themselves, thinking that Zhou Fu is still the big-headed soldier back then?
Since he came to ask Zhou Fu to seek a fortune, he always has to look like he is begging for someone, and it doesn't matter if he is called a brother and a brother like back then, but if he really regards himself as Zhou Fu's younger brother and Zhou Quan's uncle, it is not in his proper position. If Di Jiang is the father and son of the Zhou family, he will not contain these people!
After a while, Zhou Quan walked out with a smile on his face.
"Brother Quan!"
"Quanlang-kun!"
Everyone greeted him, but in front of him, no one called him "Quan's nephew".
"Uncles, my father just told me what you mean by your uncles...... Everyone knows that my father is a sincere person, and I also grew up under the watchful eyes of your uncles, so they are all a family. ”
"Yes, yes, family, family!"
Everyone was blushing and gossiping, smiling one by one.
Zhou Quan treats them as a family, which is of course a good thing!
"The family doesn't talk to each other, uncles, I'm in big trouble here, and I need help!"
Hearing Zhou Quan say this, everyone shouted: "Brother Quan, just say!" ”
"We people, nothing else, we have the strength of both arms, there is trouble, these uncles and brothers have solved it for you!"
Zhou Quan's face showed joy: "It's good to have your uncles' words!" ”
also cautiously asked: "What kind of trouble is it, Brother Quan, you can tell everyone about it." ”
"I have recruited some shipwrights in the south, and they are about to come to us, but they are caught halfway, and there are some forces in the south, and I want to take someone to teach him a lesson...... I don't know which uncles are willing to go? ”
The crowd was delighted.
As a person in the forbidden army, who has never fought with people in the market, and who has not done this kind of door-to-door debt collection and back-to-back work!
This kind of thing, they are experts!
"Grandma's, it's actually messed with us!"
"I don't know which thing is dead or alive, Brother Quan, you say, when to leave, where is the target!"
Seeing that everyone rolled up their sleeves, Zhou Fu's face became more and more embarrassed, while Di Jiang over there covered his mouth, as if he had a toothache.
"That man is an official, named Zhu Mian." Zhou Quan said slowly.
In Zhu Mian's mansion, which was named by Zhou Quan, there are guests visiting today.
Although there are countless guests who come to Zhu Mian every day, there are not many who can really greet him, and today's guest is one of them.
"Li Shimei sent you here, I don't know what happened?" Putting down the teacup, Zhu Mian asked lightly.
"Oh, my master recently got a treasure and wants to give it to Zhu Hou."
The person who came was He Jingfu, who respectfully took out a box and presented it to Zhu Mian.
Zhu Mian opened it and looked at it, his face changed slightly.
What's in the box is a mirror, but it's not a bronze mirror, it's a glass mirror!
This is naturally also the secret product of Diqiu kiln, but the output is extremely scarce, Zhou Quan through various ways, so that it flows into the market, a palm-sized round mirror, will be sold for 500 yuan, of which the huge profit, even Zhou Quan himself is also smacked for it.
It's just that one of the round mirrors was transferred to Li Bangyan, and Li Bangyan used it as a gift and gave it to Zhu Mian.
"Li Shimei's kindness, I accepted it!"
The market sells for 500 pieces, but because the quantity is scarce, there is no place to buy it if you have money. Zhu Mian was very satisfied with this gift, he looked forward to the mirror, straightened his beard, and then said with a smile.
At this time, men are also very beautiful, and looking in the mirror is definitely not the patent of beauties. After putting away the mirror, Zhu Mian said slowly: "Is Li Shimei good in Zhenjiang Mansion?" ”
At the beginning, Li Bangyan was driven out of Beijing by Zhou Quan and driven to Xuzhou to supervise Huashigang, which was actually to give Zhu Mian a hand. But later Zhou Fu came out of Zhili National Prison, and after getting the news, Li Bangyan was so frightened that he immediately moved around, so he ran from Xuzhou to Zhenjiang, still to Zhu Mian.
"My master is still good in Zhenjiang, he sent the villain here because he has something to report to Zhu Hou, and my master will be transferred from Zhenjiang and return to Beijing." He Jingfu said calmly.
"Ah...... Ha, Li Shimei has to suffer in the end, but I still have to stay in Suzhou, tsk...... It's really enviable, I don't know where he is going to go after returning to Beijing? ”
"Entering the Ministry of Officials, Wailang Leads the Rites Bureau."
Two years after Li Bangyan left Beijing, Zhao Ji thought of him again, and always felt that now that life is passing, without Li Bangyan, the prodigal son, there is still a little less taste. In addition, in the past few years, Li Bangyan has used the money he has scavenged to send to the palace without hesitation, from Zhao Ji's cronies and eunuchs to the concubines in the harem, as long as they can speak, almost all of them have received his generous gifts, so there are also people who speak for him.
If Zhou Quan was still in Beijing, Zhao Ji would definitely hesitate considering that the relationship between the two of them was very stiff, and now that Zhou Quan was not in Beijing, he would concentrate on burning cement for him and summoning Li Bangyan back, Zhou Quan would not come to Beijing to make trouble.
As for whether Zhou Quan would be angry about this, Zhao Ji couldn't care about it completely, he just found an excuse and promoted Zhou Quan to a higher level, as the court's invitation Lang on the seventh grade, and at the same time hung up in the Ministry of Industry as a member of the Ministry of Industry, which happened to be the same size as Li Bangyan, a member of the Ministry of Justice.
Not long after the matter was decided in Beijing, Li Bangyan got the news.
"So I want to call Li Ministry, hahahaha, congratulations, after entering Beijing, don't forget my old man......"
Zhu Mian coped with two sentences, he believed that Li Bangyan did not send He Jingfu just to inform him of the news.
Sure enough, He Jingfu said slowly: "When I came down to Su, I heard about something, and I had to ask Zhu Hou for advice...... I heard that Zhu Hou detained the shipwright who went to Haizhou? ”
Zhu Mian suddenly laughed: "It's not a deduction, there is a shortage of ships on my side, and many of them are broken, so leave these boatmen to repair the ships and send them to continue to move forward...... This is not something I deducted, it is to work for the official family! ”
"What Zhu Hou said is, it's just that this husband doesn't know the general situation, so he may not think like this...... Zhu Hou, do you know an incident that once happened in Jingshi, a little official of the wine supervisor was forced by someone to leave Jingshi, but that person still refused to let go, and attacked and killed the whole family of this official in the middle of the night? He Jingfu said.
Although Zhu Mian didn't know about this matter, he understood who He Jingfu was referring to.
He looked down on the Zhou family father and son, but since the two families were matched, he also inquired about some things before the Zhou family father and son started their careers.
In particular, Zhou Quan's raid on Lashanzhai made him quite jealous. If it weren't for that, his revenge on the Zhou family would not only be the same as it is now, but would be even more ruthless.
"What does Mr. He mean by this, isn't it...... What's the news? ”
"It's just that he inferred from his usual style of acting, he is not a person who can suffer, Zhu Hou has a heavy responsibility, extraordinary wealth and wealth, and it is completely unnecessary to compete with a rogue soldier."
He Jingfu seemed to be persuading but instigating, Zhu Mian knew what he meant, but he couldn't help but stand up to Zhou Quan. The reason is very simple, the cement thing really hurt him too much.
Zhu Mian and his father Zhu Chong got into the eyes of Zhao Ji and changed from a businessman to a favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, relying on the ability of the two of them to dispatch and the vision of piling rocks for mountains. Building a garden for Zhao Ji can be said to be their foundation, but after Zhou Quan launched the cement, those strange stones such as Taihu Lake stone were half scrapped!
Originally, Zhu Mian thought that the official family would inevitably offer more flowers, trees and strange stones to build Genyue, but after listening to the story of Zhou Quan's "hanging garden", Zhao Ji became more interested in the high-rise buildings built of cement.
Therefore, Zhu Mian regarded Zhou Quan as a fierce rival, thinking that everything Zhou Quan did was to compete with him for favor.
This is not an ordinary hatred, it is already similar to the party struggle of civil officials, and the two cannot coexist!
"Hehe, Mr. He is inevitably alarmist, no matter how bold that guy is, how dare he go all the way to my Suzhou to make trouble?"
"Dare to enter the Liao Kingdom, dare to attack the Lashan Bandit Village with thirty people, Zhu Hou, don't be careless...... Wansheng had dealt with that person, or else, Wansheng would be a middle-aged person, Zhu Hou would return the boatman to him, and the two would make peace? He Jingfu said.
Zhu Mian's face suddenly became gloomy, he looked at He Jingfu for a while, and then said: "Mr. He, I'm tired today, it's better to go, don't send it!" ”
After sending He Jingfu away, Zhu Mian summoned the housekeeper: "From today on, no one is allowed to look at Sun Laoqiao...... If anyone comes to me, catch me and torture me! ”
Sun Laoqiao is the place where Zhu's mansion is located, it is the traffic point in Suzhou, he is not allowed to pass by here, others have to take a detour. Zhu Mian doesn't care about causing trouble to others, as long as it's convenient for him.
But that's not enough.
"From tomorrow onwards, whenever I come and go, the guard of honor will be doubled...... No, whenever I come in and out, the number of guards will increase to three hundred! He ordered again.
He has more than a thousand private soldiers under his command!
Although these private soldiers are also rabbles who are rogue in the market, they have armor and blades, and even crossbow machines in the army, if it weren't for this, Zhu Mian has done so many bad things in Jiangnan and made so many enemies, where do you dare to go out easily?
Zhu Mian's actions caused a commotion in the city of Suzhou, but the commotion quickly subsided. It has been like this for nearly ten days in a row, and the people of Suzhou have gradually become accustomed to it, and there is no way to get used to it, after all, no one dares to carry it with this one.
