Chapter Forty-Nine: Surprised, Unhappy?
The situation in Dengzhou was relatively stable, and the remnants of the Fan family and the Wang family were pacified without much effort. The two firms, Jinhe and Jintong, were finally the few big firms in Shandong, and their family members dared to gather people to storm the warehouses in the trade zone, almost causing a large-scale fire, so that Zhu Ping'an could get an excuse to deal with these two companies in a clear and honest manner. A large number of new sergeants surrounded the properties of the two firms.
Pretending to be a hundred secrets and letting go of Ning Wan and Fan Yongnian, the purpose was to let Nagu have a reasonable reason to return to the outside of the gate, and took the opportunity to also place Huo Wu and the others inside the Tartar.
But Zhu Ping'an didn't expect that the dead soldiers who returned home and the Wang family were still lurking in the Qingzhou area, so if it weren't for Zhang Dagou and Cao Wuxian, with the assistance of the Military Intelligence Department, they broke through the sporadic blockades everywhere and arrived in time to rescue Mu Yanzi's father and daughter, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
After getting the news that Zhang Dagou sent someone Pegasus to rush back, Zhu Ping'an and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter of thorough investigation of the two firms of Jinhe and Jintong also came to an end quickly, and all the gold, silver, goods, and materials that the two firms had not had time to withdraw were incorporated into the warehouses of the new army. It's just that when he searched Wang Yanshu's private house, he found that he had already died in his study, and he was stabbed into the heart with a fatal blow. Thinking about it, this is a ploy by Ning Wan and Fan Yongnian to lose the pawn and protect the car.
But I was very decisive when I left, but I did not leave anything as evidence. Some of Wang Yanshu's henchmen were also killed separately, and not even a single one was left alive.
Zhu Ping'an didn't want to do any more investigations, and in one fell swoop eradicated the strongholds of the eight Shanyou families in Shandong. There will be no more threats from within. The next thing to do is to go to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to thoroughly investigate the traitorous case of the Shanyou businessman. After all, these Shanxi businessmen have developed for many years, as early as the Hongzhi period, Shanxi businessmen used the imperial examination as a channel to help the children of local wealthy families or subsidize the children of the poor family to enter the court, and their influence has already penetrated into all corners of the Ming court. Although these people may not agree with the traitorous behavior of the Shanyou businessmen, they want to move the Shanyou businessmen. Their interests must be touched. It will definitely lead to a strong rebound, so it is very likely that the outcome of this matter will not be resolved.
One day in the future, you will have to do it yourself. In order to ensure that the grass is cut and eradicated, one hit will hit!
Three days later. The convoy of Mu Yanzi's father and daughter arrived in Dengzhou. Zhu Ping'an led his subordinates to greet him outside the city in person, and he didn't know about other yamen, but as soon as he arrived outside the city gate. found that Zhao Guangluan, Yang Tinglin, Wang Pin and others were already waiting at Shili Pavilion early.
If you think about it, it's the same thing. Zhu Ping'an's future father-in-law was an old-timer in the middle of the court, and during the Apocalypse, he was straightforward and impeached Wei Zhongxian, who was in the middle of the day, and the world looked at it. After that, he became a lecturer of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, teaching scriptures and history, and he was the prince's teacher. How can this prefect's yamen and the city secretary wait to ignore it!
met with Zhao Guangluan, Wang Pin and others, and exchanged a few words. Yang Tinglin beckoned to Zhu Ping'an, and the two walked to the side together.
Zhao Guangluan is not yet 50 years old this year, and he is in the prime of life. Although he was relegated to Dengzhou from the center, his people did not have the slightest hint of discouragement. On the contrary, within a few months of arriving in Dengzhou, Dengzhou was already in good order. Although this person is much older than Zhu Ping'an and Yang Tinglin, he has no shelf, he is bold and talkative, especially he is familiar with local customs. Zhu Ping'an still remembers that when Wang Chengen recommended him to him, he once said that Zhao Guangluan once went to Jiliao to inspect border affairs, traveling thousands of miles, and was familiar with the affairs outside the Liaodong Guan, which is really a rare talent.
But Zhu Ping'an once asked Zhao Guanglan during a banquet, who knew that this old guy would glare. "You young man, I see that you do have some talent, but you have come to inquire about the things outside this pass. Wait until one day in the future, if you can really lead the troops to fight outside the border one day, then you don't need to say, the old man will naturally tell you, now, hehe, the time has not come! β
partnered to govern Dengzhou together, Zhao Guangpan was a strong supporter of Zhu Ping'an, but it was his old naughty personality that made Zhu Ping'an hate itchy. It's just such a person, but he is very close to a decent person like Yang Tinglin, the two are more than ten years apart, one is the prefect, the other is the same knowledge, but the match complements each other, and it is also a beautiful talk in Dengzhou officialdom.
"Is the date confirmed?" Yang Tinglin came with a sentence without a head.
Zhu Ping'an had a confused head, looked at Yang Tinglin for a long time, and then realized that he was asking about his marriage date, and immediately laughed. "Brother Boxiang, I am rushing to make the wedding card these days, and the confirmed date is the twenty-eighth of next month, which is also the time that Yuling has consulted. Mr. Mu was tired of traveling and driving, and he was seriously ill before, so he always had to rest in Dengzhou for a while! β
Yang Tinglin frowned, pinched his fingers and counted for a moment, "Which elder on your side is going to invite to officiate the marriage?" β
Zhu Ping'an smiled, "At the beginning of next month, Jiading Bo Zhou Mian and Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen will come to Dengzhou, and the two of them are the matchmakers and officiating marriages appointed by the emperor, so they are naturally coming." In addition, the teacher is also coming from Yangzhou, and there is only one elder in Ping'an now, of course he is coming. In addition, Huguang participated in politics, Lord Huang and Mr. Chen Jisheng may also come over! β
Yang Tinglin nodded absentmindedly, muttering "This is the way it should be." took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Zhu Ping'an's hands. "This is a letter from Lu Shaobao and Brother Jiandou. He is still in the period of filial piety, and it is inconvenient for him to come out, so he specially asked me to hand over the letter to you, as well as the congratulatory gifts sent by someone, which are now temporarily placed in my mansion, and then sent to your mansion ......! β
Speaking of this, Yang Tinglin suddenly became a little distracted. It was the first time for Zhu Ping'an to see Yang Tinglin, who had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and he smiled at the moment, "Brother Boxiang, you and I are now officials in the same place, the giant deer fights, and we experience life and death together, what else can I not say!" β
Yang Tinglin also smiled, and immediately said: "Brother Jiandou is embarrassed to speak because of his face. That's why I was asked to find out your tone. β
"Mouth?" Zhu Ping'an is very strange.
"That's right. Brother Jiandou is now filial piety at home, and according to the regulations, after the expiration of one and a half years of filial piety, he must obey the arrangements of the imperial court. But Brother Jiandou didn't have much hope for the center. His Majesty may not be able to reactivate him. Hearing that Dengzhou's martial arts hall is now doing well, he figured out that I would like to ask, if there is a chance in the future, can he come to teach martial arts? β
Yang Tinglin hurriedly explained: "Brother Jiandou repeatedly asked me to explain that he didn't want to come to Dengzhou to reap the benefits or anything. It's just that most of my life has been immersed in military affairs, and I think of being able to pass on what I have learned all my life to young generals. It made me have more famous seeds. He is. It's ......, and I'm so happy! In short, that's what it means! β
Zhu Ping'an looked at Yang Tinglin in disbelief, "Brother Boxiang." You are not allowed to talk to your little brother. Is this true? β
Yang Tinglin pursed his lips. "Nonsense, I'm full and have nothing to do, entertain you?"
Yang Tinglin feigned impatience and waved his hands. The voice also became louder, "Hurry up, hurry up, give me a happy word, Brother Jiandou is still waiting for a reply!" Wang Pin and Zhao Guangluan next to him also looked at it curiously.
"I can't ask for it!" Zhu Ping'an slapped Yang Tinglin's shoulder, Yang Tinglin's body was crooked, so he fell to the ground in suspense, and immediately grinned. "Hurry, hurry, must be fast, I will write a reply to Lu Shaobao when I go back in a while, and when his filial piety period expires, he must come to my Dengzhou." The position of the director of the lecture hall is vacant! β
"Director of Discipline?" Yang Tinglin's eyes were a little straight, and he rubbed his sore shoulders and asked.
"Cough, cough, this, Brother Boxiang, you also know that I, the principal of the martial arts hall, actually have so much time to stay in the academy. This director of discipline is the actual job I have figured out to be in charge of the martial arts hall! Zhu Ping'an explained in a cold sweat.
"It's a director again!" Yang Tinglin was quite satisfied, "Now that the name of the third director of Dengzhou has spread all over the countryside, this is one more, even if you have a conscience, you haven't forgotten the cultivation of Brother Jiandou!" This official position, I think it can! β
Everyone talked and laughed, and after a while, they waited for the convoy of Mu Yanzi and his party. Zhang Dagou led 500 cavalry to hand over orders to Zhu Ping'an, because in the public, Mu Yuling and Zhu Ping'an were also considered fiancΓ©es, so they did not get out of the car, only Mu Yanzi got out of the car alone to meet everyone and exchange greetings. Wang Pin even crossed the line and crossed Zhu Ping'an and Zhao Guangluan, first explaining that tomorrow night will be for Mu Yanzi to pick up the wind and wash the dust.
Mu Yanzi looked at Wang Pin meaningfully, but he didn't refuse.
After greetings, everyone sent Mu Yanzi back to the mansion that had been prepared a long time ago, this is a mansion located on the east side of the yamen of the mansion in Dengzhou City, Zhu Ping'an knew that Mu Yanzi was thrifty and quiet, so he chose this three-entry courtyard, and it was quiet in the middle of the noise. Mu Yanzi was also very satisfied.
Everyone drank tea on the wooden mansion, and then they said goodbye one after another, so that Mu Yanzi's father and daughter could have a good rest. Zhu Ping'an had already ordered Wang Jinfa to book a banquet at the most famous Lu Cai Restaurant in Dengzhou, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant personally sent the banquet, Zhu Ping'an had not married Mu Yuling after all, so he also planned to say goodbye and leave.
But Mu Yanzi stopped him, and his face became a little uncomfortable. "You wait a while, there is another person with the old man, the old man really can't avoid it, so he has to bring it over, you better see it!"
After speaking, he led Zhu Ping'an directly to the back hall, at this time, in the back hall, Mu Yuling was talking with a man and a woman, and when he saw his father and Zhu Ping'an coming in, his face immediately turned red and he quickly stood up.
Zhu Ping'an caught a glimpse of the round-faced girl who was smiling at him, and was stunned on the spot, and even trembled a little when he spoke, "Chief, eldest princess!" β
"Hee-hee!" Zhu Yujiao immediately jumped up and stood in front of Zhu Ping'an, "How about it, Sister Mu, I'm right, even this General Zhu was taken aback!" β
Zhu Yujiao raised her face mischievously and looked at Zhu Ping'an, "How is it, when you see this palace, you are not surprised, you are not happy, haha!" β
Zhu Ping'an broke out in a cold sweat, and muttered to himself, "There are accidents, but happiness may not be!" β
"Zhu Ping'an!" Zhu Yujiao suddenly became like a fighting little wild cat, straightened her body and stared at Zhu Ping'an angrily.
Mu Yuling couldn't cry or laugh, but there was no way to dissuade him.
"Sister, don't mess around!" A clear voice rang out.
Zhu Yujiao suddenly pursed her lips aggrievedly, and looked back at the white fat young man who stood up and walked over slowly. "Uncle Wang, you have to be the master of the concubine, this Zhu Ping'an is him, he bullies me!"
"Uncle Wang?!" Zhu Ping'an's pupils shrank.
The chubby young man looked at Zhu Yujiao with disgust, but he came straight to Zhu Ping'an, and bowed slightly, "Little King Zhu Yihai, I've seen Deputy General Zhu!" (To be continued......) R1292
