Chapter 216: Chen Mo returns to Beijing
It's no wonder that Zhang Hong made an uncharacteristically guarantee to Cheng Ba, but the foreigner sent by Cheng Ba did not allow him to refuse. He is an old man in the palace, and he has been nearly a sixtieth in the palace. As the saying goes, people become old and fine, big things and small affairs, and there are not many people who can really hide from him, including the ambiguity between Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng has been the cabinet assistant of the country for many years, and there are not many people at home and abroad who have befriended him, including Hu Zongxian, the governor of the southeast of the country - although Zhang Juzheng was not the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, his honest Xu Jie, and he was trained by Xu Jie, as the successor.
If Qi Jiguang is a hero of the anti-Japanese war, Hu Zongxian is the greatest hero of the pacification of the Japanese invaders, but his story has become a thing of the past, everyone only needs to know that Wang Zhi, Song Suqing and other great Japanese robbers were pacified because of his strategy of pacifying the Japanese, and he personally accepted Xu Hai's surrender.
Xu Hai is Xing'er's father, after the surrender, the court rebelled, encircled and suppressed it, and after his death, he got a piece of parchment full of numbers on his body, which was presented to Zhang Juzheng as a treasure by Hu Zongxian.
Zhang Juzheng has studied for many years, but due to the lack of knowledge, in addition to the fact that these numbers are related to the treasures hidden by Xu Hai, the specific situation has not been known, and finally this parchment was sealed into the white marble Guanyin statue, which was presented to the Empress Dowager Li as a birthday gift.
Xu Hai has been the leader of the Japanese Bandits for many years, and his reputation is second only to Wang Zhi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a rich country. Strangely, after the court exterminated him, they searched through his strongholds, but found nothing.
Knowing that he must have been hidden, now, Zhang Hong finally found the door lock, and he was just one key away from opening the door of the treasure house, just ask, for an old eunuch who has spent his life aiming to gather wealth. How could you refuse such an temptation?
The foreigner sent by Cheng Ba is the key to unlock the door of the treasure house.
Before revealing the mystery again, Zhang Hong sent someone to call Zhang Cheng, threw the bamboo pipe that Cheng Ba gave him to him, and said: "This is the most poisonous thing that seals the throat with blood, take it and find a way to kill Chen Mo." If you can't kill it. Find a good time to kill your brother-in-law. ”
Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment and stretched out his thumb: "It's still the ancestor who is smart, the child will do it!" ”
After he left, Zhang Hong was stunned for a while, and then muttered to himself: "Chen Mo, Chen Mo, this time, even if you can't kill you, the black cauldron that killed the commander of Dongchang on your back, even if the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces protect you." I'm afraid I can't stand the criticism of the people below, right? ”
After speaking, he smiled coldly and raised his voice: "Come on, call the person sent by Cheng Ba to our family!" ”
……
Chen Mo originally wanted to return to Beijing in a special way - jumping down from the high hot air balloon and falling fluttering in the palace, the effect was absolutely shocking.
However, he changed his mind temporarily, and such a shocking thing that made people lose their eyes was occasionally acceptable. The last time I took a hot air balloon back to Beijing, I was already in the limelight, and I was always so tossed. It is inevitable that people will be jealous - although there are many people who are jealous, although he is not afraid of people at all now. However, it is always good to have fewer enemies.
What's more, Empress Dowager Chen is about to celebrate her birthday, and she even gave Yin Fengwei to Chen Mo. If on her birthday, send a few people from the sky to give her a birthday gift, it will definitely be in the limelight, but also please her and get along in the future. After all, he will be even more desperate for Chen Mo.
From this point of view, Chen Mo has actually really begun to treat Empress Dowager Chen as his own woman, not like at the beginning, just to meet the ** who broke the taboo.
The human heart is full of flesh, and this is true.
Gu Xiancheng's contacts were very fruitful, and according to Yan Man's report, the impeachment of Zhang Juzheng had at least the signatures of more than 100 magistrates, and it would be played together with the bullets of many officials in the Great Dynasty the day after tomorrow.
This is what Chen Mo has been waiting for, so he decided to return to Beijing immediately.
When he came, he only brought Xing'er, but when he went back, he had a sister-in-law and a hundred cute little white rabbits.
He didn't dare to take his sister-in-law back to the outer house directly, but first sent her to Yuexian Tower to settle down.
After that night, there was a tacit understanding between Chen Mo and Sister-in-law Wang, in addition to the opportunity to indulge arbitrarily, what should be done in normal times, everything was as usual.
But Chen Mo was worried that he couldn't hide it from Xing'er, but he couldn't hide it from Caiyu and Siqi. It's not that he's afraid of the two, it's that his affair with Sister-in-law Wang is too sudden, and it's a bit of a bully, although he later knew Sister-in-law's thoughts, but for Caiyu and Siqi, he always felt a little guilty, and was ready to find a suitable opportunity to have a showdown with the second daughter.
This can be regarded as a thief's weak heart, from this point of view, Chen Mo is actually a man with a relatively good conscience, compared to men in this era, although he has the common problem of men's lust, at least he knows how to consider women's feelings.
One hundred little white rabbits, in addition to the two queen mothers of the two palaces and Zheng Shufei, Chen Mo also gave two to Queen Wang and Concubine Wang Gong, the two of them are not favored, but it does not mean that Chen Mo will ignore them.
Of course, Chen Mo, the other concubine of Zhu Yijun, also has to say something, but that is Zhu Yijun's business, he can't rob all the opportunities to sell well, he has to leave a little for Zhu Yijun.
As soon as this was sent, there were only sixty-eight white rabbits left. Chen Mo sent two more to Shen Huan, and handed over the final sixty-six to Ziyan: "Ziyan, you are the old man in this Goolan Hutong, you know a lot of people, find a time as soon as possible, and invite all the girls with heads and faces in each courtyard, our family wants to find the master for these little rabbits." ”
"Seeker?" Tie Niu has already stepped down from the errand of the Feitian Battalion, and Chen Mo has given him the identity of a hundred households in brocade clothes and has become Chen Mo's personal guard. His intestines are too straight, and he can still understand Chen Mo's gift to the palace, but now that he heard Chen Mo looking for the master, he thought that he was going to give it to those girls, but he couldn't understand it, so he couldn't help but ask out loud.
Xing'er was the most familiar with Tie Niu, glared at him and said, "Silly Tie Niu, you are stupid, do you think the master is as stupid as you?" These little rabbits are used to earn money every time, how can they be given away for nothing? Not only is it not for free, but the price is probably not low, right? ”
"Of course you can't give it away for nothing," Chen Mo glanced at Xing'er approvingly, and then changed his words and said, "However, this time you guessed wrong, our family really has to continue to give away some for free...... Ziyan, you must know all the popular girls in each building and courtyard, right? Choose the farthest name and the most popular one to pick out ten, and each person will send a pair. It's going to be done right away. After a few days, after the name of each rabbit breaks out, someone will come to buy it and tell him that each rabbit is at least five taels, and no one less will be successful! ”
"Five taels is too expensive, isn't it?" Although Ziyan also thinks those rabbits are cute, she can sleep with the red girl for five taels of silver, and she is a little worried that she will not be able to sell them.
"Too expensive?" Chen Mo smiled, how do you know the thoughts of those rich people: "Then eight taels, you can't have one less!" ”
At this moment, even Caiyu, a dignified princess, changed color. (To be continued.) )
