Chapter 232: Together, Great Things
A ninth-rate character came to the Yamen of Bingbei Road, was treated as a guest, and ate and drank in this inner Yahua Hall, which is a bit unbelievable.
Zhang Ru was silent for a moment, then glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and said slowly: "What do you think of Liu Qianhu?" ”
Liu Chengfeng said: "There are doubts, but they are only doubts, how they are, we have to check them." ”
Zhang Ru smiled slightly, the reason why he said this suspicion was not that he had any good impression of Liu Chengfeng, but because he knew that he could see this suspicion, and Liu Chengfeng might not be able to see it. What's more, since this matter involves the military preparation and inspection envoys, the matter is serious, even if the East Factory can not find out anything, even if it is found out, it may not be able to grasp the situation.
The military preparation road is in the hands of several thousand households, and the place where the army is in charge of the army and the officials and the people is dismounted, which can be said to be the only one in Beitongzhou.
After Zhang Ru's eyes flashed with suspicion, he immediately said: "Liu Qianhu, do you mean that there is something suspicious about this envoy?" ”
Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said: "I said, it's just suspicious, but I can't see anything at all, here, it's inconvenient for us to talk, so let's see what the envoy invited us to do first." ”
Zhang Ru nodded and didn't say anything.
The two waited in silence for a while, Huang Zhen finally arrived, he was wearing an ordinary round-necked Confucian shirt, came in in a big way, and saw Liu Chengfeng and Zhang Ru sitting on the left and right sides respectively, and then smiled, and said: "Let the two adults wait for a long time, forgive the sins, forgive the sins." ”
Huang Zhen sat unceremoniously in the master's place, first looked at Liu Chengfeng and said: "Your Majesty personally issued a decree to praise, Liu Qianhu, congratulations." ”
Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said: "My lord is too polite, how can Liu someone be virtuous, it's just a coincidence." ”
Huang Zhen smiled, his eyes fell on Zhang Ru's body again, at this time, Zhang Ru's face was very ugly, after all, Liu Chengfeng's credit, to put it bluntly, was to rob him of the East Factory, the conflict between the East Factory and Jinyiwei in Wuqing County, Huang Zhen also knew a little bit about it, Huang Zhen sneered at this time, ignored Zhang Ru, and continued to say to Liu Chengfeng: "What did you say?" Liu Qianhu's deeds have long been famous all over the world, who doesn't know that there is a talent like Liu Qianhu in Jinyiwei? Now that Liu Qianhu has been transferred to Beitongzhou, the old man can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Huang Zhen laughed again and said enthusiastically: "With Liu Qianhu here, the chaotic party in Beitongzhou is not a problem." ”
Liu Chengfeng said a few more polite words to him, looking very modest.
And Zhang Ru's face on the other side has changed greatly, praising the brocade clothes and guards, but ignoring the East Factory, isn't this clearly telling the East Factory, even this soldier knows that the momentum of the East Factory is not as good as before?
The contradiction between the factory and the guard can be said to have been around for a long time, what will Huang Zhen's words make Zhang Ru think?
Liu Chengfeng said: "My lord called us here, but what do you have to say?" ”
"Teach?" Huang Zhen smiled faintly and said: "I can't talk about it, this time I called everyone here, naturally because of the chaos of the party, everyone also knows that since there is this chaotic party, the entire Beitongzhou has been panicked, and this official is an envoy, and he can't sleep at night, but I don't know what eyebrows the two of you have now?" ”
Liu Chengfeng said: "My lord smiled, the captain of Jinyiwei's side came out, but there have been no clues. ”
Zhang Ru said lightly: "Here in the East Factory, there are no eyebrows. ”
Huang Zhen immediately made a disappointed look, and said: "So that's the case, this is troublesome, hey, it's not that the official is troublesome, the two of you don't know that the canal in Beitongzhou has been opened, and the grain has set off from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and is advancing towards Beitongzhou day and night, if something happens at this juncture, how can the official explain to the court?" This matter still depends on Liu Qianhu to step up. ”
Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "Jinyiwei naturally has its own rules, but the thoughts of adults, Liu can also understand." ”
Zhang Ru's face was even more ugly, but she still didn't say anything.
The three of them sat together and exchanged pleasantries, Zhang Ru left on the pretext of something, Huang Zhen looked at Zhang Ru's back, couldn't help sneering, and then chatted with Liu Chengfeng enthusiastically.
Liu Chengfeng was not interested, he looked like he didn't belong, he suddenly felt that there was something suspicious about this Huang Zhen, but what Liu Chengfeng couldn't figure out for a while was, how could the dignified envoy collude with the chaotic party?
Originally, according to Liu Chengfeng's speculation, most of the people who colluded with the party were eunuchs, after all, what kind of Ming Sect of Lao Shizi was, what kind of Maitreya was propagated, and only eunuchs were more interested in this thing. However, the scholars are different, how much do the scholars know the truth of respecting ghosts and gods, how can they be tempted by this Maitreya teaching?
It's just that many things are incredible, and Huang Zhen is just suspicious. Whether Huang Zhen is really related to the chaotic party or not, there is not even a little evidence, and even in his heart, Liu Chengfeng feels that Huang Zhen is innocent.
This is not to say that Huang Zhen is a good thing, but with Huang Zhen's shrewdness and decades of experience, it is impossible to be dizzy to do that kind of thing.
After returning to the Qianhu Office, Wang Tao said in a low voice: "Zhang Ru, the head of the Dongchang stall, is here, but he refuses to show his face, saying that he wants to talk to the adults. ”
Liu Chengfeng nodded, and met Zhang Ru in the flower hall in the back hall, Zhang Ru looked very excited, and said: "Liu Qianhu, this time I'm afraid that there is evidence." ”
Liu Chengfeng didn't show too much interest, but said lightly: "Evidence? What evidence? ”
Liu Chengfeng knew that this Zhang Ru was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it might not be a good thing to come to prove it to himself at this time, so he couldn't afford much enthusiasm, and his tone was flat.
Zhang Ru Zhengse said: "Liu Qianhu knows, Huang Zhen suddenly asked us to speak, is there a suspicion of provoking the factory guards in that tone?" This Huang Zhen has bad intentions, and it is not as simple as wanting to hear some news. ”
Do you need someone else to stir up a relationship between factory and guard? This is simply a joke, but then again, what Zhang Ru said is really a little bit of a shadow, since Huang Zhen called the two of them, but he snubbed Zhang Ru by saying good things about Liu Chengfeng everywhere, and replaced someone else, I am afraid that he would have been furious a long time ago.
Huang Zhen did this, if he said that he had no plans, even Liu Chengfeng didn't believe it.
Liu Chengfeng said: "So what? Maybe Huang Zhen just made an unintentional mistake, but it may not be. ”
Even if Liu Chengfeng had doubts in his heart, he looked like he was excusing Huang Zhen, he knew that Zhang Ru still had something to say.
Zhang Ru said: "This Huang Zhen is definitely ill-intentioned, although Zhang doesn't know what Huang Zhen's plans are, but on the surface, he showed jealousy, made an angry look, and said goodbye as soon as possible, but when he returned to the Dongchang station, he heard a news, this is a fanzi to find out, this morning, Huang Zhen did have someone to visit him, this person is a monk......
Hearing the word monk, Liu Chengfeng's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Monk? What kind of monk. ”
Zhang Ru said: "Fat, dirty, dirty and greasy, but he entered the Yamen of the Military Preparation Road in a grand manner, Liu Qianhu, this person is only afraid that it is not simple." ”
Liu Chengfeng groaned, and the monk ...... He does remember one, but this person is already uncertain about life and death, that day Liu Chengfeng led the snake out of the hole and jumped into the river, so far his body has not been found, and now there is another monk in Beitongzhou, and the appearance of the monk in his memory is very similar to what Zhang Ru said.
Liu Chengfeng became solemn, no one would have thought that a small discovery would lead to such a big discovery, so Huang Zhen was indeed extremely suspicious.
Zhang Ru stared at Liu Chengfeng, saw Liu Chengfeng's thoughtful look, and said: "Liu Qianhu, for so many days, the factory guards have no eyebrows, in my opinion, Huang Zhen is the most suspicious, Huang Zhen is the military inspector, you and I have no evidence, of course he can't be moved, this is the most tricky thing, at the moment Beitongzhou can't be chaotic no matter what, chaos will change, Gyeonggi is shaken, then you and I are both sinners, Zhang Ru is willing to join hands with Liu Qianhu to keep an eye on Huang Zhen to prevent changes." ”
Zhang Ru's meaning is very clear, the reason why he told Liu Chengfeng these is not a good intention, but this matter is not something that Dongchang can investigate, once the matter is messed up, Beitongzhou will be in chaos, so the factory and the guards must work together, so he told Liu Chengfeng about this matter, hoping that the two will abandon their previous suspicions and act together.
Sometimes, telling the truth is indeed the best way to win people's trust, and Zhang Ru's attitude is also very sincere, and it does not seem to be a fake.
And Liu Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "What does Zhang Stalltou think will be the purpose of the chaotic party?" ”
Liu Chengfeng asked this, which can be regarded as being open and honest, this is a hint to Zhang Ru that he has accepted the olive branch thrown by Zhang Ru, since he wants to work together, of course he must discuss countermeasures.
Many things don't have to be single-handed, just a hint is enough. Zhang Ru couldn't help but smile slightly, sat down too, and said: "In my opinion, the purpose of the chaotic party must be to get grain, and the grain is very important, and they will not do it for a long time, but I am afraid that they will wait for this grain to be transported to Beitongzhou, and then burn the grain and block the canal, which will inevitably cause turmoil in the world." ”
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly: "The heroes see the same thing, Liu also thinks that they are bound to do something to the grain, but they just want to do it, even if it is just a soldier who is prepared to follow the inspection, it may not be able to succeed, presumably they have already contacted many people, and these people are really unguardable." ”
Zhang Ru pondered for a moment and said, "What Liu Qianhu said is right, so in Liu Qianhu's opinion, what kind of action will they take?" ”
