The upper and lower points are enough, and the message is almost heard, Zheng Cai dares to visit King Jin.

Zheng Cai is not good at words, but Zheng Zhilong does not have a good relationship with Shilin like Zhai Zhe, and the famous Confucian Huang Daozhou in Fujian regards him as an enemy. After he cut off He Kai's nose, most people with a little knowledge have always stayed away from him, and what he lacks most under his hands is actually people like Liu Suifeng.

The gifts given to several scholars, Liu Suifeng and Jin Xiaoding were all refreshments, and the things sent to the Jin Palace's mansion were the main banquet, and the total price of the silver tattoo plus various Nanyang curiosities was 20,000 taels of silver.

Ning Sheng is now the chief housekeeper of the Jin Palace, but Zhai Zhe is not like Liu Suifeng, who accepts all things as ordered.

Zheng Cai walked to the front of the Jin Palace, and saw two stone carvings with wide-eyed unicorns at the door.

A month ago, although Zhai Zhe was famous, those who had really seen him knew that the general was kind and low-key. The General's Mansion in Hangzhou is not as generous as the Governor of Zhejiang, and the Zhai Mansion by the West Lake is even less known.

But this time, after Zhai Zhe was assassinated, he was named the king of Jin and officially stationed in Nanjing, as if he was a different person.

There were four guards standing on the left and right sides of the door, with bright armor, a sword at the waist, a bird gun in hand, and two eyes looking ahead, standing more upright than the two stone-carved unicorns. There were sixty-four guards in the gatehouse, and the guard changed every two hours.

Zheng Cai gave a gift, was ushered into the gate by Ning Sheng, and then followed the guards to the backyard. Walking into the palace of the king of Jin, this battle-hardened general soldier did not dare to look around, only dared to look at the back of the guide. When he met Emperor Longwu, he was not as nervous as he is now, the main reason was because he had asked for help, he was worried that he would not be able to fulfill Zheng Zhilong's entrustment, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bring Zheng Sen back.

In fact, the current situation is a general dilemma for Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong, who can calm down more can sit more steadily.

Zhai Zhe did not meet guests in the study, but rarely used the living room.

There were also guards in front of the parlor.

When Zheng Cai entered the door, it was like a large hall, enough to accommodate a hundred people, and on the main seat in front of him sat a middle-aged man, wearing a python robe, and a guard saber standing on the right-hand side.

Although Zheng Zhilong is rich, he is in the middle of Fujian, and his heritage is incomparable with Nanjing, and Zheng Cai's knowledge is limited to Fujian.

Zheng Cai didn't dare to look up and take a closer look, and curtsied and said, "Meet the King of Jin, the general"

"Why did Zheng Zhilong only let you come and not go north by himself?" Zhai Zhe seemed to be very happy, took a breath, and said, "Get up"

"The prince is in poor health, and Yuehai has been making trouble recently, and after hearing that the general was assassinated, he was panicked, and he specially asked the last general to come to visit."

"Zheng Sen's King Xinyanping should have seen it."

Only then did Zheng Cai know that Zheng Sen's messenger turned out to be Zhai Zhe's intention to return to Fujian.

King Jin's tone was a little melancholy, and said: "I have an old relationship with King Yanping, first attack Nanjing, and then take Jiangxi together, but the Zheng family has such an unscrupulous descendant, which really makes me very embarrassed."

Listening to his tone, it seemed that Zheng Sen had been convicted of participating in the assassination, and he heard that there were four Zheng family guards among the twelve people who were beheaded on the street.

"You go back and tell King Yanping, I will leave him some mercy, prevent Zheng Sen from suffering from the disaster of blood and light, give him a three-foot white silk, leave him a whole corpse, and also leave a face for the court."

Zheng Cai knelt down on one knee and begged: "Zheng Sen is young, he was confused by He Tengjiao, and begged the prince to spare his life."

"If I lost my life that day, should I blame Zheng Sen for being young?" Zhai Zhe shouted angrily like rolling thunder.

"You go back and tell Zheng Zhilong, if he wants to leave Zheng Sen's life, he will go north to Nanjing to ask for guilt, otherwise, you can take Zheng Sen's body back."

"Prince" Zheng Cai has to say more. Zhai Zhe seemed to be angry, and he actually walked away.

There were only two people left in the huge palace, Fang Jin walked down and said: "The prince is angry, you better go back first" He accompanied Zheng Sen to the door, and said a few more words on the way: "You don't know how thrilling it was at that time, the long bird gun with the spiral core used by the assassin is only available in the West, and the lead is highly poisonous, hitting the guard on the right side of the prince, I am still afraid when I think about it"

"It's all He Tengjiao, it's all He Tengjiao" Zheng Cai's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he only pushed the crime on the dead man.

The two talked all the way out, and casually told a few secrets on the road, all of which were secrets of the assassination case, which were unheard of by the outside world. In the past few days, he has spent nearly 10,000 taels of silver, and the news he got has not been as much as Fang Jin casually told him, Zheng Cai secretly blamed himself in his heart for forgetting such an important person.

On the third day of his arrival in Nanjing, he understood that several cabinet scholars had no say in this matter, and Zheng Sen's life and death were all in the hands of the general. There are also those 30,000 soldiers and horses, surrounded by the heavy division of Jiangnan troops, as long as Zhai Zhe gives an order, I am afraid that Zheng Zhilong's years of hard work will be wasted.

Fang Jin kept sending Zheng Cai to the place where he was about to reach the gate, Zheng Cai saw that there was no one left and right, so he lowered his voice and said: "Fang Guard's advice, I am grateful."

Out of the Jin Palace, he checked Fang Jin's residence. Zheng had been in Nanjing for many years and had his own way, and he soon learned that Fang Jin's residence was only three streets away from the Jin Palace. Fang Jin needed to go to Zhai Zhe's side on an errand during the day, so his address was very close to the Jin Palace.

Zheng Cai prepared a generous gift again, until the unitary time, Fang Jin came out of the Jin Palace, returned to his home, he did not dare to come to the door, and ordered the Zheng family to send the gift list to the door.

He knew that he didn't know how many people were staring at him in Nanjing City, and Fang Jin was no better than a few cabinet scholars, so he might not meet him, so he gave a gift list first. This gift list is equivalent to a gift, and it will slowly find a way to pass by Fang Jin's house in the future.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jin actually accepted the gift list, and asked his family to pass the word, and meet Zheng Cai in Zui Jiangnan tomorrow night.

Zui Jiangnan is not a restaurant, but a tea shop.

Zheng Cai set the room early, and when the night was hazy the next day, Fang Jin really came to meet. Fang Jin changed into a dark blue cotton jacket, but he was tall and would attract attention wherever he went.

Zheng Cai didn't have doubts in his heart, but now he has no way at all, so he can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor. He looked for a lot of people, and when he heard that he was here for Zheng Sen's business, he turned him away one by one. It was already dark, and the tea shop seemed to be getting more and more lively.

Zui Gangnam is not only a place to drink tea, but also a courtesan singing performance. Originally, it was not so lively here, but since the Qinhuai River Hefang was cleaned up by Xu Yiyang and a large number of scholars were punished, it has become a taboo in Nanjing.

It is rumored that the owner behind this tea shop is Fan Yongdou, the uncle of the general, and his backer is extremely hard, so the next batch of business.

After the General's Mansion moved into Nanjing, the pattern of Nanjing City is slowly changing, and it is becoming more prosperous than before. Because there are many more powerful figures, it is more like the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Where there is power, there are people who seek rent, and where there are people who seek rent, there are brokers.

Walking into the courtyard in the middle of the teahouse, there is a group of idlers waiting for tonight's Oiran performance, I heard that it is one of the "Qin Huai Bayan" Kou Baimen.

Zheng Cai is not in the mood to listen to the piano now, and he can't hear anything as a rough man. Seeing Fang entering, he immediately asked his family to lead him into the private room.

It's lively on the outside and quiet on the inside.

The two sat down, and the guys in the teahouse were kicked out immediately after serving tea, and Zheng Cai asked people to guard the door.

"Brother Fang" Zheng Cai does not need to be formally called.

"Brother Zheng"

"I heard that Brother Fang was a hero under the general's account, but I didn't expect to be so young"

Fang Jin sat opposite him, deaf to Zheng Cai's flattery, didn't drink tea, and said, "I'll meet you, the prince knows"

"Ah" Zheng Cai was taken aback, and quickly figured it out. Fang Jin is a cronie among Zhai Zhe's cronies, how dare he meet him in private at this cusp.

"The prince said that Zheng Sen has been in contact with those scholars who have been involved in the Qing Dynasty in Nanjing City for several years, and he suspects that the Qing Dynasty was involved in this assassination, but he has not found evidence."

"Impossible" Zheng Cai jumped up and said: "Although the prince is young and reckless, he has never been confused in righteousness" He quickly thought that Zheng Sen had studied with Qian Qianyi, so he might be very close to Liu Ruyi, and his voice slowly became quieter in the second half.

Fang Jin's face was expressionless, and he said: "The prince said that it was difficult for him to believe that Zheng Sen did this, and King Yanping didn't know about it

"I don't know" Zheng Cai jumped up again and roared urgently: "The prince really doesn't know"

Fang Jin's expression was numb, and he said the third sentence, "The prince said that he can't sleep well now."

Zheng Cai sat down opposite Fang Jin again, frowned, and put away his previous impatience. He heard some clues, Fang Jin entered the room and said three sentences, all of which started with "The prince said", which was relaying Zhai Zhe's original words.

"How can King Jin sleep peacefully?"

"Zheng Sen, the 20,000 soldiers and horses who exchanged Xianxia Pass for Nanjing City, will stay in Nanjing, and the prince will not embarrass him because of his past relationship with King Yanping."

Zheng Cai gasped, Fang Jin was negotiating with him on behalf of Zhai Zhe.

Indeed, his identity is only suitable for talking to Fang Jin, Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong are only matched, and King Jin will never talk to Zheng Cai about conditions.

"No, absolutely not" Zheng Cai clenched his fists. Since ancient times, there has been a road into Fujian, and Xianxia Pass is in the southeast of Quzhou, blocking the gateway from Jiangxi and Zhejiang to Fujian. If Xianxia Pass is handed over to the imperial court, the Fujian and Guangdong occupied by the Zheng family will be divided, which is equivalent to handing over the life gate to the imperial court, no, it is handed over to Zhai Zhe.

"No," Zheng Cai muttered to himself.

Fang Jin stood up and arched his hand: "I don't think you can be the master of this matter, it is better to ask King Yanping and say goodbye."

Walking to the door, he turned around and said, "Thank you, Brother Zheng, for the tea."

He didn't even touch the cup.

Zheng Cai stood up, Fang Jin's words kept spinning in his head, and he didn't hold back.

Fang Jin opened the door, and when he entered the teahouse, the noise outside had disappeared, and the entire courtyard was silent

Suddenly, there was a sound of the piano, like a dripping spring falling from a deep mountain bluestone, and before he had time to take a step, a string of pure and crisp piano sounds came coherently, and the dripping spring turned into a stream.

The breeze caresses the pine forest, and the larks call the branches.

After the song was finished, the cheers began, and Fang Jin walked downstairs. He has been by Zhai Zhe's side for many years, and he is no longer a martial artist who can only dance with knives and guns.

"Sure enough, he deserves to be Qin Huai Bayan, but Kou Baimen is no longer in the lowly ranks, why do you want to perform here?"
