Chapter Ninety-Four: The Heroic Tomb of Gentle Township
Rao is ancestor Donglai has the demeanor of a prime minister, and after listening to the price reported by Yang Bozheng, he couldn't help but change his face. One million taels, this Yang Bozheng really dares to ask for it? He now suddenly felt that Yang Bozheng's smiling old face looked so hateful. But he also knew very well that now Yang Bozheng was in the same boat as him, and he couldn't turn his face because of this silver matter.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Zu Donglai didn't show any emotion on his face, he looked at Yang Bozheng, and it took a long time to grit his back molars and say: "Brother Haoduan, one million taels is really not a small amount, and it is difficult to get together in a hurry." How's that? I'll ask someone to send 300,000 taels of silver tickets tomorrow, and I don't want Brother Haoduan to return it, and I have the right to be my part. ”
Yang Bozheng looked a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed with Zu Donglai's opinion. The two sat in the hall for a while, and Zu Donglai got up to say goodbye and left under the pretext that he still had other things to do.
After Zu Donglai left, Yang Bozheng did not return to the hall, but immediately hurriedly walked to the garden in the backyard. There was a small building in the garden, Yang Bozheng walked into the building quickly, and the young man who was sitting on a Taishi chair with a smile knelt down and said, "Go back to the emperor!" All the best, he's already hooked! ”
"Good! Very good! Li Guanqi clapped his hands and smiled, "Since Zu Donglai wants to rebel, then I will help him." ”
Li Guanqi and Zu Donglai were busy wooing their forces and preparing for the final action, and Cao Yuanshan was not idle. Since the last time he met Zu Donglai in the Imperial Garden, Cao Yuanshan obviously felt that he had lost Zu Donglai's trust, and in order to prove himself and not become a victim of this struggle between the monarchs, he also had to try to rack his brains to win the trust of himself again in front of Zu Donglai.
If you want to regain Zu Donglai's trust, of course, you can't just talk about it, you must come up with enough results for Zu Donglai to be tempted. Zu Donglai was a very popular minister, and he originally lacked nothing, but now he is competing for power with the emperor, and he is beginning to be lacking. What does Zu Donglai lack the most?
After thinking about it, Cao Yuanshan felt that it was better to start with a chip that could play a pivotal role in this battle between emperors and prime ministers, and this chip was Feng Yuhua, the commander of the Xiaocai Guard.
Cao Yuanshan had always been puzzled by Feng Yuhua's acceptance of the bribe so easily. Because no matter how you look at it, Feng Yuhua is not the kind of master who can be easily dealt with, and Feng Yuhua has been an official for so many years, and he has always been fat, but his net worth has never been rich, and he is not a greedy person no matter how he looks at it. A person who is not greedy for money can be easily bought by two thousand taels of silver, and the mystery of this is worth pondering.
Therefore, Cao Yuanshan sent one of his servants to keep an eye on the outside of the Xuanwu Lake cavalry guard around the clock. But this Feng Yuhua didn't leave the barracks at all, and the servant waited in the restaurant opposite the barracks for seven or eight days in a row, and he didn't see Feng Yuhua's shadow.
Seeing that Jin Wuxi fell, and after the time of Shenpai, the military camp opposite did not see any movement, and the servant felt very frustrated in his heart, and muttered and scolded his mother. Although Cao Yuanshan promised that as long as he found out a little bit of news about Feng Yuhua, he would be rewarded, but this work of waiting for the rabbit was really boring. The thought of the good friend who hadn't seen him for several days tickled in his heart.
Just as he was feeling uncomfortable, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the door of the camp of the Xiao Cavalry guard opened, and a man in civilian clothes walked out. The servant suddenly came to his senses, quickly wiped his eyes, took a closer look, and found that the person who came out was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tiger's back, which one could it be if it wasn't Feng Yuhua?
"The old man guessed right, this old boy really has a problem." The servant secretly said "yes" in his heart! Hurriedly settled the bill, went downstairs and stared at Feng Yuhua from a distance, and followed.
Feng Yuhua didn't stop all the way, and came to Meixianglou, Yun Niang had already seen it, and shook it step by step, saying: "Uncle Feng, you are really punctual, I think you should come in the next two days." ”
Feng Yuhua took Yun Niang's hand, naturally handed over an ingot of twenty taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Thank you Mother Yun for your concern, Yuxiang is in the house, right?" I'll go up now. ”
"I'm here, I'm waiting for you early in the morning!" Yun Niang said with a smile on her face.
The servant listened carefully and watched Feng Yuhua go upstairs, and then hurriedly trotted all the way back to report to Cao Yuanshan.
After Cao Yuanshan listened to the servant's report, he fell into deep thought: Judging from the attitude of the proprietress Yun Niang of Meixianglou towards Feng Yuhua, Feng Yuhua should be a regular customer of Meixianglou, and every time he goes to find Yuxiang. So can it be said that this Admiral Feng has true feelings for Yuxiang?
Cao Yuanshan has always believed that anyone has a weakness, and for men, this weakness is either money or women. Since Feng Yuhua doesn't pay so much attention to money, this Yuxiang girl should be able to occupy a relatively heavy weight in his mind.
"I didn't expect the girl in Meixianglou to be so popular." Cao Yuanshan secretly laughed in his heart, "The one in the palace is obsessed with Hanyan, and this General Feng is obsessed with Yuxiang again, it seems that this gentle township is really a hero's mound." Hanyan has been placed under house arrest by herself, this Yuxiang girl has to move her mind, she can't force herself to go to Meixianglou to kidnap people! ”
In a hurry, Cao Yuanshan couldn't think of any particularly good way, so he had to ask the servant to take someone to go outside Meixianglou to continue squatting, hoping to wait for a good opportunity for Yuxiang to go out alone.
Coincidentally, this Yuxiang usually doesn't go out even in March and February, but this servant just went to monitor for two days, and Yuxiang only brought a personal maid out of Meixiang Building.
While sending someone to report to Cao Yuanshan, the servant secretly followed. only to find that Yuxiang neither visited the cloth shop nor bought rouge gouache, but found a medical center and walked in. When he came out again, the corners of his eyes were already red.
Seeing that the two Yuxiang masters and servants were about to return to Meixiang Mansion the same way, the servant was in a hurry. But seeing a four-person sedan chair stopped beside Yuxiang, Cao Yuanshan walked out of the sedan chair and said a few words to Yuxiang, Yuxiang's face turned from gloomy to sunny, and she got on the sedan chair with a smile.
