Chapter 64 The First Merchant of Liaodong
Outside the Daqing Fort, the ten-mile long pavilion is cold and snowy, and the cold wind is shining.
Five troikas, twenty cavalry stood proudly, although immature and murderous.
Zhang Ke stood in front of the pavilion, Shen Shi held his hand tightly, his eyes were red and swollen, and he thought that it would be auspicious to go far away, and tears were still leaching out.
"Ke'er, you have been born and died these days, and you finally have a little hope, but Feng'er has an accident again, why is my mother's life so bitter!"
Zhang Ke looked at the sad old lady with a sour nose.
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely rescue the eldest brother."
"Hmmm! Mother is fine, but you have to be more careful, saving people is not so easy, think more about things, ask Lord Hong more, you must not have any more accidents, no, otherwise my mother will not be able to live, woo woo woo ......"
Zhang Ke nodded solemnly: "It's going to be fine, my son promises that our family will happily get together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and celebrate the New Year together!" ”
"That's a good idea, my mother is waiting at home."
Zhang Ke said goodbye to his mother and followed Hong Fuyi on the road. Although he was anxious, Zhang Ke's mind was still very calm, and he had a hunch that this time the matter would definitely not be solved lightly. It happened that Wang Huazhen had just returned to Guangning, and when he heard that his classmates Hong Fu and Zhang Ke were coming, they hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically and took the master and apprentice to the house.
"Hahahaha, I have long known that Brother Peide has the day when Dapeng spreads his wings, and sure enough, the court knows people well, and Brother Hong serves as the supervisor of the army, ensuring that the army is in good faith!"
Hong Fu smiled and said: "Brother Xiao Qian, the situation in Liaodong has been eroded, how can Hong Fu be able to turn things around!" ”
"Hey, why not, don't you still have a baby apprentice Zhang Yongzhen?"
Wang Huazhen pointed at Zhang Ke and laughed: "In the end, it is the deep love between master and apprentice, I opened my mouth twice and asked Yongzhen to help me, but Yongzhen refused." Now that Brother Peide is going to Shenyang, Yongzhen obediently follows, which is really the envy of this official! ”
Listening to the tone, he appreciated Zhang Ke from the heart, and he was a little proud to have such a good apprentice.
"Brother Xiao Qian, don't hide it from Yongzhen, not to help me, but to save people!"
"Saving people? Who? ”
Zhang Ke hurriedly walked in front of Wang Huazhen, lifted his robe and knelt down.
"Yongzhen, hurry up, it's all your own family, you don't need to make a big gift!"
Zhang Ke didn't move, on the contrary, he kowtowed respectfully, and then said: "My lord, my late-born brother Zhang Feng served in front of the army, but he was framed by traitors, and now he is on the line of life and death. Wansheng begs the adults to lend a hand, and Wansheng is grateful! ”
Wang Huazhen suddenly frowned: "Yongzhen, what's going on, tell me clearly." ”
Zhang Ke hurriedly told Wang Huazhen what he knew, as well as his inferences, and did not hide it at all. Zhang Ke also knew that Wang Huazhen, like Hong Fuyi, had not been in Liaodong for a long time and had not been too involved with the original interest groups, so he dared to rely on their strength.
After Wang Huazhen listened, she suddenly fell into silence, did not speak for a quarter of an hour, and finally smiled bitterly.
"Yongzhen, do you remember what you said to me a few days ago?"
"I remember later, I said that Liaodong was in causf, acting for the tiger, and moving the whole body, so I had to figure it out slowly." Zhang Ke smiled bitterly: "It's just that providence makes people, I can't imagine that my brother is actually implicated, even if he is a person of wood and stone, he can't bear it, even if he hits the stone with an egg, he can fight with them to the end!" ”
Wang Huazhen often sighed: "Yongzhen, your intelligence is first-class, if Brother Ling is really wronged, I believe you can find evidence." Although Wang is in Quang Ninh, he can't help directly, but if you need it, just look for me, and Wang is duty-bound. ”
With this sentence, Zhang Ke breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Huazhen is a second-class jinshi, and the energy is much greater than that of Hong Fuyi, as long as he beats the side drum, he can make some people stab in the back.
"My lord, your great kindness Zhang Ke is unforgettable, and he will definitely repay him in the future!"
"You're welcome, Wang is also an official in Liaodong, how can he sit back and watch the rats run rampant and be killed." Wang Huazhen said indignantly.
Hong Fu arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Qian, Gao Yi, Hong admires." The matter is urgent, Yongzhen and I will not stay longer, and immediately go to Shenyang overnight! ”
"Okay, I'll send you!"
Wang Huazhen personally sent Zhang Ke and Hong Fu out of the city, and when they arrived at the ten-mile long pavilion, Wang Huazhen deliberately lowered the degree and let Hong Fu go first.
Zhang Ke was so clever that he immediately knew that Wang Huazhen had something to say, so he hurriedly leaned in.
"Yongzhen, to be honest, I'm not optimistic that you can rescue your eldest brother."
"My lord, please make it clear!"
"Alas, three months ago, I also caught a group of merchants who trafficked grain to Jiannu, and I presented them all for their crimes, and the result was that they were all crushed in the sea."
Zhang Ke asked in surprise, "My lord, why is this?" ”
Wang Huazhen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Liaodong is a land of nine sides, it has been the world of warriors for hundreds of years, and the military power has always been the dictatorship of the Holy Cadres and Cadres...... Alas, don't say it! ”
Of course, Zhang Ke understands that whether it is not a dynasty or a quiet shot, in short, Wanli is not diligent, and the next year is the forty-eighth year of Wanli, and the life of this old emperor is not even a year, and he probably has no energy to deal with things. As soon as Zhang Ke thought of this, his face turned white in an instant.
Wang Huazhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yongzhen, you are a smart person, don't want me to say more." There are two ways to save people, one is to have real evidence, and the other is to be able to reach the heavens! ”
Speaking of this, Wang Huazhen lowered her voice and said: "If it were someone else, this official would never help, but Yongzhen, you are different, Gonggong Hong and the Thirteen Taibao have said to you, this official is not interested in knowing." I only want to tell you one sentence, you must go the way of the inner court, find a way to let the saint ask, and your eldest brother will have a way to live! ”
To put it bluntly, it depends on eunuchs!
No wonder Wang Huazhen wants to talk to Zhang Ke alone, Hong Fu is very disgusted with eunuchs, you must know that Zhang Ke and eunuchs are in dealing, but I am afraid that the old gentleman will explode immediately. In his opinion, it is a matter of life and death, but Zhang Ke is life-saving, even if he deals with the devil, he will not frown.
From this point of view, in fact, Wang Huazhen and Zhang Ke are both pragmatists.
"Thank you for your advice, I'm leaving!"
Leaving Guangning, Zhang Ke and his party hurried up and walked out of the wind and snow for three days. Yang Long has been leading the way in front, riding horses continuously, the roots of both of his legs are worn out, but he still gritted his teeth to hold on.
"Second master, you will be able to reach Shenyang in one day!"
Zhang Ke looked at everyone and saw that everyone was exhausted, especially Hong Shiki, who was getting older, and his bones were about to fall apart when he sat in the carriage.
"Find a place to rest first, let everyone catch their breath and eat something."
Zhang Ke said and jumped off the horse, and personally helped Hong Fu down, there happened to be an abandoned land temple on the side of the road, Zhang Ke helped the teacher to the main hall and sat down.
"Teacher, it's too cold, the water bladder I brought yesterday is frozen, I have to bring soju today, you can take two sips first!"
Hong Shiki took the skin and drank it with a big gulp. Zhang Ke on the side looked stupid, when did the teacher have such a good amount of alcohol?
The soju entered his stomach, and a wave of heat rushed up, and Hong Shiki's face turned red.
"Happy, happy! Yongzhen, do you think I don't know how to drink, sue you, when I was a teacher, I used to boil pots at home, and I felt uncomfortable if I didn't drink two catties of wine every day. Later, when he took the first test for the teacher, he missed the exam because of his greed for alcohol, and since then, he has not drunk for more than ten years. ”
When Zhang Ke heard that there was still this reason, he smiled and said: "The teacher is so persevering, the disciple admires it!" ”
While he was talking, he heard the neighing of horses from outside, and a caravan came from afar. It seemed that there were as many as one or two hundred people, rushing towards the small temple.
Hong Fuyi and Zhang Ke all got up and looked outside.
"It's them!"
Zhang Ke hurriedly turned around, just in time to see Yang Long gritting his teeth, staring at the caravan with burning eyes.
"Brother Yang, what's going on?" Zhang Ke asked in surprise.
"Second master, it's them, it's them, that little gold-lettered flag, I won't be wrong when I die!"
Zhang Ke asked, "Are you saying that the caravan seized by the eldest brother has a small golden flag?" ”
"That's right, second master, they are supposed to be the ones who framed the eldest brother, hurry up and arrest them and torture them to extract confessions!"
Qiao Fu also heard Yang Long's words on the side, and he reached out and drew the bow and arrow behind his back.
"Damn, dare to frame Brother Feng, I'll kill them!"
"Slow!" Zhang Ke hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop them, "Listen to me, if you want to save your eldest brother, you need real evidence, don't startle the snake." ”
At this time, the convoy stopped, and a young man in his early thirties walked down from above, with dark blue coarse cloth clothes and a small melon skin hat.
"Which adult is sleeping here, the villain Jin Wanguan is polite!"
Jin Wanguan?
Isn't this Shen Qingyan's cousin!
Thinking of what Shen Qingyan said about the medicinal materials, Zhang Ke suddenly raised his vigilance ten thousand times, maybe the eldest brother's unjust case really had something to do with him!
Hong Fu smiled loudly: "This official has no official uniform, and there are no generals around him, how do you see it?" ”
Jin Wanguan bowed down and said with a smile: "On a cold day, ordinary people have already rested in the winter, and there are only two types of people walking on the road. ”
"I want to hear the high opinions!"
"It's not high-minded, one is those of us who seek wealth, and then there are officials who ask for the lives of the people!"
"Hahaha, the Liaodong Golden Boy is worthy of his name!" Hong Fu smiled and said: "This official is the new supervisor of the army Hong Fu, if you are not mistaken, you are the first businessman in Liaodong, Jin Wanguan, right?" ”
"Lord Hong has good eyesight, he is a villain!"
Hong Shiki nodded: "Mr. Jin, meeting is fate, you all come in." ”
Jin Wanguan thanked him again and again, was extremely obedient, and walked into the main hall, some of his subordinates brought a bed, as well as dry food, Zhang Ke peeked at it, there were only two pieces of bread, which was not as good as them.
Jin Wanguan smiled at Hong Shiki.
"My lord, the villain only has poor dry food, and he can't be treated, so please forgive me!"
Hong Fuyi looked surprised, looked at Jin Wanguan, who was chewing cold hard cakes, and asked suspiciously: "Jin Gongzi, with your family background, there are no good things, why do you eat such rough things?" ”
