Chapter 89: The Man Behind the Scenes

"Who is the other party?" Hearing that someone was forcing Zheng Gui to frame him, Li Yuntian frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice. It is recommended to read novels and read books quickly

"I don't know about this concubine." Zheng Wanrou shook her head, "The other party has never revealed their identities. ”

"What's wrong with your father's medicinal herb business?" Li Yuntian was very surprised in his heart, he didn't know when he had inexplicably provoked an enemy, and asked Zheng Wanrou with a deep groan.

"Last year, my father provided a sum of medicinal materials to Shanxi Dusi, but I didn't expect that the merchants who cooperated with my father were shoddy, and half a year ago, those people took the account books signed and signed by my father when he delivered the goods to Shanxi Dusi to threaten my father, if my father did not follow their instructions, they would denounce my father, and our whole family would be killed."

Zheng Wanrou's face darkened, "My father didn't believe it was true, and later asked the cooperative merchant, only to know that there was a problem with his funds, so he bought a batch of inferior medicinal materials to fill the number, and bribed the guy under my father who was in charge of inspecting the goods." ”

"It turned out to be him!" Hearing Shanxi Dusi, Li Yuntian's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of surprise.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Wanrou didn't understand what Li Yuntian meant, and looked at him suspiciously.

"What about those people?" Li Yuntian came back to his senses, he was only guessing now, as long as he caught those who threatened Zheng Gui and interrogated them, he could know their origins.

"They originally stayed with my dad to monitor my dad's every move, but the night I came, they threatened my dad and left, but my dad didn't dare to provoke them, so he didn't stop him." Zheng Wanrou said apologetically.

Zheng Gui did this out of pure helplessness, God knows what the background of those people is, and now he didn't frame Li Yuntian as planned, so if he detains those people again, this feud will be settled, so it's better to let them go, so it won't make things too stiff.

"Do you know who the man who went to your house that day was?" Li Yuntian quickly guessed Zheng Gui's intention to let those people go, this may be the best way to avoid a direct conflict with those people in the background, and asked after thinking about it.

"Master, does it have anything to do with him?" Zheng Wanrou knew that Li Yuntian was talking about Lu Tianxing, and the only young man at the scene at the time except Li Yuntian asked curiously after flashing his eyelashes.

"He is the second son of Duke Wei Guo, and he has the experience of the Governor's Mansion of the Later Army!" Li Yuntian bowed slightly, pointing out Lu Tianxing's identity.

"Why would he do that? Our Zheng family has no grudges or enmity with him. Zheng Wanrou was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Yuntian with a shocked expression, "Does the master have any grievances with him?" ”

"Miss Zhou is the daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Lu Tianxing's hair is small, and she is also the fiancée of the master." Li Yuntian smiled bitterly, "No wonder he came to Baishui Town at this time, he was preparing to watch a good show!" ”

Zheng Wanrou was stunned by this news, she never expected that the relationship between this would be so complicated, Zhou Yuting and Lu Tianxing's origin would be so big, and she didn't expect that Zhou Yuting would be Li Yuntian's fiancée, and Li Yuntian would marry in the future.

No wonder those people have the account books when Zheng Gui traded with the Shanxi Governor's Office, it turned out that Lu Tianxing was the experience of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, and the Shanxi Metropolitan Division was subordinate to the Houjun Governor's Mansion, and it was easy for Lu Tianxing to get those account books.

In fact, everything Zheng Gui did to Li Yuntian was planned by Zheng Wanrou, although Zheng Wanrou is a woman, she is Zheng Gui's important assistant in the business field.

Unlike Chen Ningning, a big local clan with a large business in Baishui Town, the Zheng clan in Linshui Village, where Zheng Gui is located, is only a medium-sized clan in Haikou County.

Although Zheng Gui was born in the long house of the Zheng family, he was not the eldest son and could not inherit the Zheng family's family business, and his current achievements were all made by himself in the shopping mall.

Zheng Wanrou has been smart since she was a child, she followed Zheng Gui to run around at the age of seven, dealing with people of three religions and nine streams, her mind is far more mature than girls of the same age, and even far beyond men, which is the biggest difference between her and the pampered Chen Ningning.

Because Zheng Wanrou is very smart and has unique opinions, Zheng Gui will always discuss with her when he encounters serious matters, and being threatened by those people this time is no exception.

Zheng Wanrou felt very strange when she learned about this, and she didn't understand why those people would deal with a small magistrate.

Later, she learned some things about Li Yuntian, and knew that Li Yuntian was a two-list jinshi of Xinke, a protégé of Yang Shiqi, an old cabinet minister, and his political achievements were outstanding after coming to Hukou County, which made Hukou County look completely new, and he was a very promising officialdom rookie.

Even so, Zheng Wanrou didn't think that those people were going to deal with Li Yuntian so hard, could it be that they were going for Yang Shiqi?

Zheng Wanrou felt that the Zheng family had fallen into a huge crisis, and if she didn't do what those people asked, the Zheng family would suffer a catastrophe because of those medicinal materials, but if she framed Li Yuntian according to those people's requirements, then not only would she offend Yang Shiqi behind Li Yuntian, but more importantly, she might be killed by those people.

Therefore, Zheng Wanrou has not made up her mind about how to deal with this matter for a long time, until she came to Baishui Town, heard the praise of Li Yuntian from the people, and the changes in Haikou County, then made up her mind and decided to take back the account books from those people, and then marry Li Yuntian as a concubine.

In this way, even if those people want to move the Zheng family, then they have to consider Li Yuntian, after all, Li Yuntian is a dignified two-rank jinshi, not those ownerless duckweed who can be slaughtered by others.

This is also why Li Yuntian appeared in Zheng Wanrou's boudoir, instead of the rooms of other ladies in the Zheng family's back house, laying a solid foreshadowing for Zheng Wanrou to marry Li Yuntian as a concubine.

To put it mildly, Li Yuntian, as the leader of Hukou County, can't eat and drink enough, and he won't admit it when he puts on his pants.

At this moment, Zheng Wanrou realized that the Zheng family was just a poor pawn for Lu Tianxing to calculate Li Yuntian.

However, it is also fortunate that Lu Tianxing used the Zheng family, otherwise, once the Houjun Governor's Mansion wants to investigate the matter of those medicinal materials, the Zheng family will not be able to escape, and it will definitely become a scapegoat.

As for Lu Tianxing, Zheng Wanrou was not afraid of him after he didn't have that account book, not to mention that the territory of the Houjun Governor's Mansion was in the north, and he couldn't control the man's affairs, in case he targeted the Zheng family, then Li Yuntianyan could sit idly by?

Li Yuntian unknowingly, he became the target of Lu Tianxing and Zheng Wanrou's calculations, but Lu Tianxing was malicious, while Zheng Wanrou was kind.

Of course, Lu Tianxing knew that this kind of peach-colored case would hardly cause fatal harm to an official like Li Yuntian, who was born in a two-rank jinshi, and usually the emperor would reduce his guilt.

However, it was not his purpose to put Li Yuntian to death, his purpose was to use this case to make Li Yuntian lose face in front of Zhongyong Hou, and let Zhongyong Hou withdraw from Zhou Yuting's marriage to Li Yuntian. Wouldn't you be laughed to death by the people in the capital?

Moreover, once Li Yuntian is involved in the case, he will inevitably stay in Hukou County and wait for the investigation of the government, and he will also have to wait for Emperor Yongle's instructions on the case, so he will not be able to return to Shimen County on time to marry Zhou Yuting, and the relationship between the two will naturally come to an end.

The news of the marriage between the two has already spread in Shimen County, and even many people in Jinan Mansion know that if Li Yuntian is unable to attend the wedding and then go to the Zhou family to pick up his relatives, the wedding will naturally have no need to be held, and neither the Zhou family nor the Li family can afford to lose this person.

In fact, Lu Tianxing considered using other cases to deal with Li Yuntian, but Li Yuntian had not long since he stepped into his career, and he had no handle at all, so he had to start with a woman, and he didn't think that he would fall short in the end, and the chagrin in his heart can be imagined.

"Madame, can you promise me one thing?" Before going to bed, Li Yuntian suddenly remembered something and looked at Zheng Wanrou seriously.

"Sir, please speak." Zheng Wanrou felt a little strange and said in a coquettish voice.

"Can you stop scratching me in the future?" Li Yuntian sneered, looking at Zheng Wanrou with some embarrassment, Chen Ning stared at the few blood marks on his back that were scratched out by Zheng Wanrou and felt distressed, and he also felt very shameless.

"Hmm!" Zheng Wanrou thought that Li Yuntian was going to say something, but he couldn't prevent him from mentioning such a thing, her cheeks turned red when she brushed it, and she nodded shyly.

The reason why she scratched Li Yuntian at that time was actually selfish, and some of the meaning of announcing Li Yuntian to other women was her man, and the weight of her scheming was far beyond that of her peers.

Maybe it was those few blood marks that had made her and Chen Ningning a little bit of a mustard, Chen Ningning was also a smart girl, how could she not guess her intentions.

In the following period of time, the affairs of Hukou County ran in an orderly manner, Zheng Gui not only joined the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce and became a deacon of the deacon's association, but also invested in the construction of the trading market, and will be mainly responsible for the medicinal materials business, he has a very wide range of contacts in the field of medicinal materials.

The Qi family in De'an County, the Li family and the Zhao family in Pengze County, and other local clans in Jiujiang Prefecture who had dealt with Li Yuntian joined the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce one after another during this period, firstly, to repay Li Yuntian's favor, and secondly, to be optimistic about the development of the trading market.

This has gradually strengthened the strength of the Jiujiang Chamber of Commerce, and its influence in the business community of Jiujiang Prefecture has also increased, and Li Yuntian is very satisfied with this.

The reason why he initiated the establishment of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is to integrate the resources within the Chamber of Commerce to gather greater strength, so the more members join, the greater the room for operation.

At the end of November, Li Yuntian left Baishui Town by boat, preparing to return to Shimen County to marry Zhou Yuting.

Lu Cao, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou also followed to Shimen County, they not only had to salute Zhou Yuting who passed through the door, but more importantly, they wanted to go to the Li family to worship their ancestors, and together with Zhou Yuting, they were recorded in the branch of Li Yuntian in the Li family tree.

This is a big deal for the third daughter, because it is not easy for the concubine to enter the family tree, and only by entering the family tree can he really be regarded as the master of the Li family, otherwise he can only be the identity of the subordinate, which is the sorrow of the ancient concubine.
