Chapter Eighty-Seven: Revenge Begins with You
Zhou Jinhuan didn't speak, and the two returned to the Xiao Mansion after putting the original item back.
"Wan'er, when you go to the palace this time, be sure to keep in mind the costumes of those guards and eunuchs. ”
"Madame, why should I remember those irrelevant things?"
"Is there anything absolutely unrelated in this world?"
Su Wan didn't ask any more questions, and silently wrote down the matter.
After Su Wan left, Zhou Jinhuan began to pour water and drink it cup by piece, she would act like this when she was nervous.
"Madame still suspects that Zhao Yu did it?"
"It's not a suspicion, I just asked Su Wan to confirm my thoughts. ”
Zhou Jinhuan, who was angry, no one could persuade her, even Xiao Jingzhi, so he simply didn't persuade and took away her cup: "Drink so much water at night, your eyes will be swollen tomorrow." From the early hours of the morning until now, you haven't rested for a moment, so get a good night's sleep. ”
It's okay not to say it, in this way, she is really tired, she knows that she is not in a good mood, and always makes him worried, so she laughs and coquettishly at him: "I'm too tired to walk, why don't you take me to sleep?"
She has not had such a little daughter for a long time, Xiao Jingzhi is also willing to make her happy, a princess hugged her very neatly, put her on the bed, and said softly: "People have lost weight in the past two days, and they have to eat more to do other things." ”
As if she had been reminded again, she took his hand and put it on her face, her voice was a little pitiful: "Jing Zhi, whether Zhao Yu did this matter or not, he deserves to die." ”
"Yes. ”
A very simple word, but it made Zhou Jinhuan smile and bend his eyes, since Zhao Yu has done these dirty things, don't blame them for a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
Naturally, she had no way to directly participate in the affairs of the previous dynasty, so every day after Xiao Jingzhi went to the next dynasty, the two of them would talk about the affairs of the previous dynasty in the study.
Xiao Jingzhi has seen her awesomely, the original battle of Zhangzhou City, although she had something to think about, but "tempting and taking" is really amazing, Zhang Zilang's admiration for her was the most obvious, and he was impressed by her because of this.
However, officialdom and the battlefield are different, and she has always been clear about things in officialdom, but rectifying people and penetrating officialdom politics are not exactly the same thing, and rectifying people also needs to have a bad taste.
He thought that Zhou Jinhuan didn't have it, but he was wrong, she didn't just have it, and even in some ways it was beyond his reach.
Don't say anything else, just say that the trick of repairing Lin Lian made him dumbfounded, he has always been a gentleman, and many tricks are really unexpected, of course, this is not to say that Zhou Jinhuan is a special villain.
A few days later, Su Wan came back from the palace and told her about the costumes of the guards and eunuchs.
"Wan'er, so many things have happened recently, and you have suffered with it. ”
"Madame, what do you mean by saying this?"
"Ah Cheng has been getting better lately, I haven't seen him for a few days. ”
Since the child was gone, the mess around her has not stopped, and Ah Cheng's Gu poison has occurred at this time, and she is afraid of hindering his rest, so she has not seen him.
It should be better now, right?
Ah Cheng was resting at that time, and when he heard her voice, he hurriedly got up and opened the door: "Why are you here?"
His words made Zhou Jinhuan a little confused, and asked rhetorically: "What, if I can't come back, aren't you going to play a child's temper again and say that I don't care or anything?"
Ah Cheng has always been cautious, her conjecture is reasonable, but she never thought that Ah Cheng's face was not very good, and she didn't mean to joke with her at all: "I lost my child, my parents died, I can't calm my nerves at this time, what are you doing here?"
Ah Cheng's body has not fully recovered, and he is a little excited, and he coughed after speaking, Zhou Jinhuan couldn't cry or laugh, this kid is full of good words, full of concern, how can the tone make people want to kick him?
"It's because the Xiao Mansion has been gloomy recently, so sister, I'm going to take you out for a walk, and buy some fabrics and pastries by the way. ”
She came over to give a notice, and Ah Cheng was also bored and panicked when he stayed in the house, so he agreed without thinking about it.
As soon as they went out, they met Zhao Qing head-on, her eyes only stayed on Zhou Jinhuan for less than a second, as if she didn't see it, and asked Ah Cheng stiffly: "Are you going out, where are you going?"
"Ah Cheng and my sister don't seem to need to report to the princess when they go out, right?"
Zhou Jinhuan spoke first, but was ignored by Zhao Qing: "The person asked by this palace is him, not you, your mouth is fast." ”
"This is the princess doesn't know, Ah Cheng is my brother, my words are his words, isn't it, Ah Cheng?" If Zhou Jinhuan can be choked by this tsundere little princess, then she shouldn't mess up.
"Didn't you say you were going out to buy something?" Ah Cheng frowned and pulled Zhou Jinhuan's sleeve: "Go early and come back early, it's midsummer now, and the sun is too bright at noon." ”
Zhao Qing is a belly of fire, but there are a few guards with good martial arts at hand, but they can't use force against Zhou Jinhuan, so forget it, let her go for the time being......
Under Zhao Qing's very "warm" gaze, the group of them left the Xiao Mansion.
Summer is much better than the spring day when the catkins are flying, the rainy autumn day and the cold and unbearable winter day, and the bustling crowd on the streets of Yecheng is very lively.
Yecheng is the national capital of Dayan, South Street pastries, North Street clothing, East Street spices, West Street tea and wine, only what you can't think of, nothing you can't find.
Zhou Jinhuan and his entourage went to North Street first, cut a lot of cloth, and felt that they could go from spring to winter, if it wasn't for Ah Cheng to stop her, she estimated that she would have bought it for the year after tomorrow.
After buying the cloth and then going to South Street, she still habitually went to Cheng Kee Pastry Shop, but the shop was closed.
"This Cheng Ji pastry has been closed for the past few days, so Madame should come back in a few days. ”
Someone saw her standing in Cheng Ji Pastry Shop for so long, so it was easy to explain, Zhou Jinhuan smiled slightly and asked, "This little brother, do you know why this Cheng Ji Pastry Shop is closed?"
"I really don't know. The little brother looked at Zhou Jinhuan's smile and reacted for a long time before answering, that smile was really beautiful.
"There is more than one Cheng Ji in this pastry shop in Yecheng, and Mrs. can come to our house to have a look. "A person came out of a pastry shop next door and came to steal business.
"Well, let's go look elsewhere first......" She didn't like the mercenary appearance of the shopkeeper, and as soon as the others lost power, he came over.
"I really don't know what's so good about that Cheng Ji, it's all dead, and now it's just an empty shop, it is estimated that all the people in the store are dead, and there are still so many people who can't forget it!" The voice of the store itself has been passed down from time to time, Zhou Jinhuan's steps paused, but he left immediately: It seems that the case of the Zhou couple is still inconclusive, are those people unable to find the murderer, or are they afraid of finding the murderer?
Cheng Ji pastry has always been quite famous in Yecheng, although it is only a business, and it cannot be compared with the power of officials, but the common people are not these, this is the difficulty of letting the Cheng family pastry shop do the back, right?
There is always a result, but the time left for Dali Temple is too long, and Zhao Yu did not set a deadline for them at the beginning.
"Look, someone has knocked on the drums in the city, and some people have struck the drums in the city......"
When I walked to the city, there was a sudden sound in the crowd, and the people who heard the sound had curious looks on their faces, and a bunch of people ran towards the Dengwen drum in the city.
Dengwen Drum is a drum placed in the city, used to make the people sound grievances, and the person who deals with the grievances of the people is not Jing Zhaoyin of Yecheng, but the emperor himself.
Since Zhao Yu ascended the throne, this drum has not sounded, and this sound is famous in Daye City.
"Madame, do you want to go and see?" Su Wan was very curious, her neck was stretched, and Zhou Jinhuan had a heartfelt smile on the corner of her mouth: "There are so many people, what can you see?"
So she said that, but she followed the crowd to the drum, only to wait for them to arrive, and the drummer had already entered.
The others are gone, but the reason why he wants to beat the drum to complain has already spread among the crowd: he was originally a merchant on Yecheng South Street and has always been law-abiding, but Lin Shen, the nephew of Prime Minister Lin Lian, took advantage of the situation and forcibly occupied their shop for 30 taels of silver.
This is not Lin Lian's business, but whoever makes the protagonist Lin Lian's nephew, he will naturally become a person on the cusp.
"Eh, I heard that the former prime minister is the one who has just been poisoned, and the current Prime Minister Lin Cheng is not on the right track, do you think that Lord Zhou will be ......?"
"Go and go, don't talk nonsense, then Lin Shen is just Lin Lian's nephew and can occupy other people's shops, if your words are heard by Prime Minister Lin Dacheng, do you want your life?"
"Speaking of which, the dead Lord Zhou is really pitiful, I think when he was Si Nongqing, he did a lot of good things for our people, why is there no good reward for good people?"
"Lord Lin and Lord Zhou, I like Lord Zhou more, and I don't know what the Holy Lord thinks, why did such a good person die, and now I don't give an explanation?"
"It's a loss, Lord Zhou's daughter is married to General Xiao, at least there is something to rely on. ”
......
In the crowd, everyone expressed their opinions, at least Zhou Jinhuan was involved, which made me standing on the side speechless.
This is the common people, they are simple, they are also sensible, but they are also ignorant.
They seem to see only good and bad, and there is no middle ground.
Politically speaking, Zhou Ming and Lin Lian are both good people, they are loyal to the imperial court, they are both serious and responsible for their work, and they have made extremely significant contributions to their jobs, and even said that Lin Lian has made more achievements in politics, and has made greater contributions to the construction and development of Dayan, and has a more far-reaching impact.
But the people don't think so, Zhou Ming and Lin Lian became prime ministers one after another, and Zhou Ming's miracles made Zhao Yu unhappy, but this had no impact on the people, and they guessed more that Lin Lian rectified Zhou Ming, so he could replace him. Later, Zhou Ming was poisoned, and the murderer was never caught, no matter what the truth was, he couldn't resist the speculation of the people.
What Lin Shen did was a ***, which made Lin Lian anxious.
"Lord Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are already dead, why do you want to involve them?" Ah Cheng's voice came slowly, Zhou Jinhuan always knew that he was a smart child, but he never thought that he was such a smart person.
According to Zhao Yu's reliance on Lin Lian, this thing can't move his foundation at all, but this is enough to amplify Zhao Yu's suspicious character. ”
This is just a prelude to making Zhao Yu suspicious of Lin Lian, and it is even more exciting in the back, since you want to take revenge, you must find someone to start first.
It was noon when he returned to Xiao Mansion, and Xiao Jingzhi also went down to the court, and he knew Lin Lian's current state by looking at his face.
"I didn't expect this matter to knock Lin Lian down, anyway, we dug a few pits and waited for him to jump, I don't believe that Zhao Yu can do anything to him. ”
If there was only Zhou Jinhuan alone, she might not be Lin Lian's opponent at all, but with Xiao Jingzhi, she would be much more confident.
Lin Lian has now been reinstated as prime minister, but Kong Fan, who has worked with him, has not returned to the position of Imperial Doctor, and it is Wang Lian under Lin Lian who has been promoted.
Lin Lian, Wang Lian, and Sangong are also both members of the Lin Party, and it is strange that the Kong Party can sit idly by!
If you want to fight and overthrow Lin Lian, you must make good use of the contradictions between the two parties, Lin Lian is a clear person, and the fact that Lin Lian is a clear person does not mean that all the people under him are clear people.
"Have you found someone well, can you be reliable?" Thinking of Lin Lian's dilemma in the court, she was very dark.
"That's natural, I don't know how much Zhao Yu trusts Lin Lian, but the people around him always have to rectify it. ”
Xiao Jingzhi has never been a big talker, and her strategy has been heard, as long as the person is right, everything is not a problem.
Before Zhou Ming went to Jinzhou, he gave Xiao Jingzhi a list of officials, all of whom had received favors from him, including Zhang Zilang, who was ridiculed by Zhou Jinhuan that day.
Although Zhou Ming has no party affiliation, he is very decent, he never does things that praise the high and step on the low, and fall into the ground, the icing on the cake is easy, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, at the juncture of the crisis, this kind of friendship is the most unforgettable, so those people on the list, no matter what identity or party they are now, will always give Zhou Ming face.
Giving Zhou Ming face is giving Xiao Jingzhi face.
People, Xiao Jingzhi had already chosen, but he didn't tell Zhou Jinhuan, he didn't say it, but she made it clearer: the two must have thought of it together.
Naturally, this matter is not in a hurry, and we must wait for the Dengwengu incident to be settled before doing it, otherwise Zhao Yu will definitely be suspicious.
The spiders weave their webs and wait for the flying insects, they dig pits and wait for him to jump, or they do.
The Dengwengu incident occurred after the incident of Zhou Ming and his wife, but the results came much earlier.
The merchant who complained about the grievance was returned to the shop, and a reward of three hundred taels was given, and Lin Lian's nephew Lin Shen was imprisoned, and Lin Lian was only suspended for three months.
is in control, who doesn't have a relative who is not angry, this matter just makes Lin Lian feel uncomfortable.
This matter has been settled, and after waiting for three or five days, after things are a little cold, Xiao Jingzhi began to do it.
