Chapter 122: The Emaciated Camel Is Bigger Than the Horse
Compared with Wei Zhongxian's composure, Yue Su realized that he was too anxious and not calm enough. He also raised his chopsticks and took a bite of food, should I say it or not, Father-in-law Wei's cook still has certain means, and the taste of the dishes is not ordinary delicious.
"Tang Ji Goods Company, which is the second largest goods store in Zhejiang, is second only to the Hong family's Hong Ji Goods Company, which is a time-honored brand in Hangzhou. These big cargo banks will set up their head offices in Hangzhou, and Hongji Cargo Bank has only set up a branch in Hangzhou, and the head office is still in Huzhou on the 1st, which is really incomprehensible. What's more, the two goods stores are all over Zhejiang, how can there be no bumps in the business, then Tang Ji goods store is opened by the people of the Dragon Slaying Gang, and it is also a time-honored brand, how can it be possible to allow Hong Ji latecomers to take over.
So, I sent someone back to the capital, to check whether there was a record of Tang Ji Goods in the East Factory, and I remembered that I had seen the name of Tang Ji Goods, but I couldn't remember it clearly. My people returned to the East Factory and consulted the archives, and as I expected, Tang Ji Goods Store was included in the archives as early as the Wuzong period, and the strength can be seen.
Moreover, it is recorded in the file that Tang Ji Cargo Bank is not a soft-hearted master, and in the Zhejiang area, it has annexed many goods stores to achieve today's status. From here, I can also see that this Hong family and Tang Ji Goods Company must have an unclear relationship with each other, otherwise, Tang Ji will never let the Hong family sit big and ride on his head. Master Yue, do you say yes? ”
Wei Zhongxian said to the end and looked at Yue Su with a smile.
Yue Su was already stunned now, not because Wei Zhongxian understood it, but because Wei Zhongxian's magical powers were vast.
They are all people who have been sent home, and the original party. Xi Xi hasn't cleaned up a lot, how can he still have such strength, saying that if he goes to Dongchang to check the information, he can really find it.
Wei Zhongxian seemed to see Yue Su's thoughts from Yue Su's expression, looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Lord Yue, haven't you heard of a saying that a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen." And the old man is not dead yet, although the monkey has scattered a lot, but there are still a few people like Er Geng.
Not to mention that the old man still has people in the East Factory, even if he is by the side of Lord Yue, there are also my people, but Lord Yue doesn't know. ”
As soon as he heard this, Yue Su's face immediately changed, and he stared at Wei Zhongxian tightly, but Wei Zhongxian's face was still smiling, "Lord Yue doesn't have to be angry, you have to know which official in the court and the central government does not have people from our Dongchang." But Lord Yue doesn't have to worry, the people I sent have already sacrificed to protect your lord in the battle in Yunmeng County. ”
"Haha......" Wei Zhongxian looked up to the sky and laughed, "Lord Yue's personality is admired by many people, and the old man is also one of them, otherwise, you and I would not sit at the same table today." Let's tell you the truth, Lord Yue, Dongchang has not only set up a limited line in the mansions of many officials, but some will even send two or three, and they don't know each other yet. Before leaving, the old man had done one thing, that is, to rebuild the secret posts that beat some officials' mansions. Among them, there are Lord Yue's mansion, Zhang Guozhang's mansion, and Fang Cong's temporary mansion, because I know that the three of you will set off some storms after I leave. In fact, as I expected, Lord Yue Ding was worried, Fang Cong temporarily dominated the cabinet, and Zhang Guoji entered Beijing to take charge of the soldiers and horses of the five cities. Perhaps it was because of my caution that I got an important piece of news. ”
"What's the news?" Yue Su hurriedly asked.
"News just arrived from the capital. The news of Zhang Zhongxin's death has been brought into Beijing by the people of the Zhang Mansion, and on the same night, another secret letter was brought into the Zhang Mansion. Although the inner death on the letter is not clear, it is definitely not good for adults, because my people heard Zhang Guojifu crying loudly and cursing adults vigorously. Then they entered the Forbidden City overnight, probably to find the Queen Mother to complain. How did the Queen Mother choose, but I heard that the will will for adults to solve the case within a time limit. However, my men discovered another important matter, that is, they secretly summoned the eunuch Ying Huachun, who was the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, and Cao Huachun then left Beijing, as if to go south. In this way, it is not difficult to judge that the queen mother asked the adult to solve the case within a time limit, which was just a delaying tactic, and she already thought that Zhang Zhongxin's death was related to the adult, and she did not dare to issue an order to investigate and deal with the adult, after all, the adult had no mercy on Xu Xianchun who falsely passed the holy decree. Therefore, she sent Cao Huachun over, ten of them wanted to be unfavorable to adults, and adults had better be cautious.
Wei Zhongxian's words were a little subtle, but Yue Su understood the meaning.
Yue Su shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me."
But father-in-law, why did your news come so quickly, I also have someone in J Dagger Capital, it stands to reason that my father-in-law's people can deliver the news in such a short period of time, why haven't my people arrived yet? Yue Su knew that after his excerpt was sent to Beijing, how would the Queen Mother approve it, and Yang Yishan would definitely send the letter as soon as they got the news. Father-in-law Wei's people have all sent the news, and the people who sent the letter to themselves should also arrive.
"Don't be surprised, my lord, although they all passed the news here on that day, my people have another way, and the speed is much faster than others. Otherwise, the old man has been running the East Factory for so many years, wouldn't it be in vain. Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.
"That's what my father-in-law said. But now, Yue Su is getting more and more confused, why does my father-in-law help me so much? Yue Su asked humbly.
"You and I are both the most trusted people of the first emperor, even if they were intrigued at that time, they were both loyal to the first emperor. Now that I've left Beijing and the adults have left there, I feel like I'm in the same sick as the adults. The first emperor was as kind to me as a mountain, and you were the person the first emperor relied on the most, and entrusted to you, I really don't want to see the last wish of the first emperor buried in the loess.
Maybe this is called sympathy, Lord Yue, there are not many places where I can help you, but I will try my best to help you. What is behind the Hong family, the spies sent in have not been found out, it depends on the adults themselves. When Wei Zhongxian said this, it was obviously true feelings.
"Thank you, father-in-law, ......" This time, Yue Su stood up and bowed deeply to Wei Zhongxian.
"I've been out of there for a long time, and no one calls me father-in-law anymore since I left there. Yue Su, at my age, if you call me Uncle Sheng, it should be okay. Wei Zhongxian said sincerely.
"Yes...... Su greeted his uncle...... "Yue Su followed and gave another salute." I don't know why, the enemy of the year, after meeting again today, Yue Su felt so cordial. Perhaps, as Wei Zhongxian said, both of them were the most important people in Carpenter Zhu's life, and after Carpenter Zhu's death, both of them left Beijing, and it was inevitable that there was a feeling of sympathy.
"Good...... Good...... Sit down, sit down, sit down......" Wei Zhongxian heard Yue Su's shout, uncle, obviously very excited.
Yes, the sworn enemy who was intrigued and wanted to be put to death in the past turned the enemy into a friend today, which is really touching.
Yue Su sat back in his chair, raised the wine jug, poured Wei Zhongxian a glass of wine, filled it for himself, then picked up the wine glass, and said, "Uncle...... Nephew toasts you ......"
"Good...... Good ......" Wei Zhongxian happily raised his glass and drank it all with Yue Su.
"Virtuous nephew...... If you judge a case, your means are far superior to your uncle, and your uncle cannot compare with you. But this case, my uncle thought, could not be decided according to common sense. Hun Sen is a member of the Dragon Slaying Gang, but you have asked for so long, but you have not asked a clue, I am afraid that there is only one reason, that is, the people in the Hong Mansion, not a few are from the Dragon Slaying Gang, most of them are uninformed. This also shows that the Hong family is very likely to be a cover now, and the Dragon Slaying Gang dares to set up such a big game, that is, they are not afraid of you to investigate. Wei Zhongxian said in an affirmative tone.
Yue Su nodded and said, "After my uncle's request, my little nephew also thinks so, but I don't know how to check?" ”
"I can't say exactly how to act, but at present, your approach is too conformist, if you don't stick to normal means, you may be able to make a certain breakthrough. I really can't help you with the case and catch the real murderer, so it's up to you. Wei Zhongxian said sincerely.
If the Duke of Wei is called to try the case, the level will definitely be worse than Yue Su. However, Gonggong Wei still has the vision, otherwise, it would be impossible to crush the powerful Donglin Party under his feet with a joke.
"Thank you, uncle, for mentioning that."
After finishing the matter, the two began to catch up, talking about some past things, chatting and drinking, and when they were blind to the third watch, Wei Zhongxian said: "It's not early, the virtuous nephew should also go back." By the way, if you are in trouble in the future and want to find me, you can send someone to Xiaonan Town, twenty miles outside Hangzhou. There is a Dade pawnshop in the town, when I arrived at the pawnshop, I only said that I wanted to redeem it, and the guy asked you what to ransom, and he said that he would redeem the Jade Guanyin who was here two years ago, and the man asked you where the ticket was, and how much silver he was, and he replied that the ticket was lost, and it was 11,111 taels at that time. Then the guy will know that it is his own person, and he will bring him inside, and if there is anything, just tell the shopkeeper there, and I will know in the shortest possible time. As for this house, it is only for me to live temporarily, and as soon as you leave, I will leave too. ”
"Thank you, uncle." Yue Su nodded in agreement, and had another drink with Wei Zhongxian, before getting up and leaving.
Leaving the flower hall, Yue Su led his men out of the mansion and rode his horse towards Huzhou City. Still 1 day above the halfway, change back to the guard. of clothes, and then quickly hit the horse. Their horses were fast, and when they arrived outside Huzhou, the city gates had not yet been opened. Wei Zhongxian also helped Yue Su calculate the time.
Show the arrow, enter the city, and return directly to the line. It can be said that this conversation with Gonggong Wei helped Yue Su a lot, and the first thing Yue Su did after entering the line was to conduct another autopsy.
