Chapter 265: Seven Tricks (Three-in-One Chapter)
Cheng Ziyu guessed that there would be today when he made a big fuss about the "assassination" incident in the past. On this southern tour, all the princes are afraid that they will all inquire about the truth and process of that assassination.
On that day, Zhu Changan borrowed Wei Zhixian's hand to cover it well, but how could the princes who were splashed with sewage and couldn't tell the bitterness not notice that this case was not simple?
The assassination incident came to an abrupt end after Zhu Chang'an entered Beijing, and it was never mentioned again, which made them feel even more frightened. Is it their father's intention to prevent Zhu Changan from continuing to investigate? Or has Zhu Changan already got what he wants, so there is no need to kill them all?
There is also a possibility that the assassination is just a prelude, Zhu Changan did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but because the time has not come, he is waiting for a suitable opportunity, and at that time, this case will be turned over again......
Originally, the princes had forgotten a lot about this, but after Cheng Ziyu appeared and Wen Lan made a big fuss because of jealousy last night, many people remembered that the four princes were hunted down and killed that day, and the princess blocked the sword, all of which happened in the Cheng family's territory. The princes immediately remembered this stubble, and suddenly became a little nervous.
Zhu Changzhe is also worried.
He was the general manager of the southern tour, but the early southward work was done by Zhu Changan. The two have different styles of doing things, different means of doing things, and naturally they often disagree on how to use people. Coupled with the overlap of rights, the two have had a lot of conflicts in just a few days.
Both want to make profits for themselves, they both want to make achievements to suppress each other, and they all want to grab greater rights and interests, but in fact, both of them understand that this is a war without gunpowder.
Because of this, Zhu Changzhe did not dare to take it lightly.
After consulting with his staff, he decided to meet with Cheng Ziyu to figure out the assassination incident. is not only to prevent being calculated, but also to try to catch Zhu Changan's clues. After all, Cheng Ziyu, who was an eyewitness and victim that day, must have known the cause and effect.
And the fifth prince, it was easy for him to block Cheng Ziyu. After receiving the news that Cheng Ziyu was going out, he pinched the time and path, and "encountered" it naturally......
And Cheng Ziyu wished that Zhu Changan would be remembered by his brothers, and this opportunity to be sent to the door should naturally be grasped well.
None of the princes were fuel-efficient lamps, and none of them were stupid, she couldn't let them detect her hatred for Zhu Si, so her words always remained objective, like a bystander, without any personal judgment, nor did she show too much emotion, and only integrated the mistakes and doubts of the day into the incident to guide her......
Today she said this to the fifth prince, and she will still say this when he faces the eldest prince or queen in the future.
"It's really hard for my fourth brother!"
A sneer flashed on the face of the fifth prince after listening to the story, and then quickly returned to normal, staring at Cheng Ziyu. "My fourth brother is blessed with a great life, which is in response to the old saying, Saiong knows if he loses his horse and knows whether he is blessed! What does Miss Cheng think? β
"Maybe!" Cheng Ziyu couldn't hear that the fourth prince was testing her, and obviously wanted to dig some useful information from her mouth.
"For some reason, I always feel that Miss Cheng doesn't treat my fourth brother very well. Don't you like it? Or is it lukewarm? Or rather, what did my fourth brother do to Miss Cheng? β
"Why did the Four Princes say this?" Cheng Ziyu's heart suddenly became alarmed. She has tried hard to restrain her hatred for Zhu Changan, but is it still so obvious? Even the five princes saw it?
"My fourth brother is also a talent, but I heard that I ate a few closed-door soups at Miss Cheng's place, and I said bluntly, Miss Cheng doesn't seem to be retreating for advancement, or trying to capture the past. It stands to reason that Miss Cheng and my fourth brother still have a business relationship, shouldn't it! β
That's a lot to know! Cheng Ziyu wasn't sure if Zhu Changzhe was tempting or seducing, the only thing that was certain was that he definitely didn't like Zhu Changan.
"What's the dislike, it's just not temperamental. When the Wang family first met that day, they were fortunate to see the impetuous and exaggerated side of the four princes, and they were seared into their hearts. "What if she just doesn't like it? She doesn't mind expressing it tactfully. "The five princes are deaf and clear-sighted, and they have already heard about it."
Zhu Changzhe actually hooked his lips, and the faint smile made the yin owl emanating from his body disperse a lot.
Miss Cheng confessed. You just say that he is hypocritical! Don't worry, what you and I say will never be passed on. β
It was a clear gesture of goodwill for him to say this. Seeing that Cheng Ziyu did not deny Zhu Si's character, Zhu Changzhe suddenly felt that this trip was worth it.
He pursed his lips, but his steps slowed significantly.
Soon after hearing about the incident, Miss Cheng braved the wind and rain to come to the door to claim compensation. It stands to reason that human life is at stake, and Miss Cheng understands the righteousness, so she shouldn't choose to come to the door at that time, right? β
"Who said it was a door-to-door claim? The folk girl obviously went to visit Miss Wang. At that time, I also brought a visitation ceremony. β
"Oh! Then it should be a misunderstanding. This prince also thought that it was Miss Cheng who found something wrong when she witnessed the crime, and suspected that it was because of the artificial moth that caused your loss, so she even went to the door to claim compensation regardless of the storm, lightning and thunder. β
Cheng Ziyu was secretly frightened, this was both a clichΓ© and a hint, he was observant and imaginative. He guessed at least half right.
This is why he insisted that he didn't like Zhu Si from the beginning, because Zhu Si did something unpleasant......
Oh, this person guides himself, a little bit of clichΓ©s, one question after another, and finally he can turn to this place, which is indeed not to be underestimated.
The voice of the fifth prince was a little quieter.
"I heard that the county surnamed Wei was very angry that day, and lost his temper at the master in the yamen, smashed the tea bowl, and scolded Miss Cheng angrily. β¦β¦ Obviously, Miss Cheng's claim is a bit strong, and even the magistrate can't bear it!
Maybe this prince was misled because of this, right? If there is any inaccuracy in what was just said, I hope Miss Cheng will not rest assured. β
Zhu Changzhe stared at Cheng Ziyu tightly, but the latter smiled.
The right is really a good thing, and he even asked him to inquire about it. Wei Zhixian Cheng Ziyu didn't know about this matter before, but there are many people in the yamen, and it shouldn't be difficult to find out.
It's just that they've only been there for two days, so he should have heard about these things a long time ago.
Sure enough, he was thoughtful, he should have checked six or seven percent, and confirmed that she didn't like Zhu Chang'an, so he would take the initiative to come to him for questioning.
Such a person has too many thoughts, and she subconsciously does not want to have deep friendships.
"Several princes are dragons among people, and Ziyu is a merchant who is not qualified to talk about whether he likes it or not, and please don't mention it again in the future."
"Miss Cheng is too cautious!"
The fifth prince sighed, "Thank you Miss Cheng for your outspokenness, even if this prince owes you a favor, if there is a need in the future, Miss Cheng can just speak." β
"Thanks to the kindness of the five princes, there is no need for favors, Ziyu has a heart."
"Miss Cheng is living well? The yard that the Cheng family was assigned is a little smaller, and I will arrange a suitable yard for you in the next trip. β
"No need, Ziyu is a merchant, come according to the rules, live where you should live, the five princes are not worth breaking the rules for Ziyu."
Cheng Ziyu refused with a smile, and asked the five princes to laugh too.
Cheng Ziyu had the impression that he rarely smiled. But he smiled so suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something, but she couldn't catch it...... What is it? Seems important? β¦β¦
At this moment, the five princes are more interested in Cheng Ziyu.
She rejected his favor and rejected his gesture, was it really the caution expressed in her words? Or do you want to dissociate yourself from him? Could it be that she understood his intentions?
"This is not right, Miss Cheng is deeply ...... by the Queen Mother and the Emperor"
"Five Princes!"
"You say!" The fifth prince was stunned, he really didn't expect her to dare to interrupt him.
"Let's get straight to it." Cheng Ziyu couldn't help it. What kind of people are not humane, what they owe or not, others have already studied her thoroughly, rather than being accidentally wrapped in when she was taken in circles, it is better to simply open the skylight and say something bright.
"Miss Cheng is really extraordinary." This time, Zhu Changzhe really showed a hint of appreciation.
It was only a dozen zhang away from the Queen Mother's courtyard, and the two of them had already slowed down, and at this moment, he simply stopped.
"Ming people don't say dark words, Miss Cheng lacks help? I am willing to help Miss Cheng! β
ββ¦β¦β
Cheng Ziyu wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she changed them.
"What do the five princes want to help me?"
"Miss Cheng has no intention of marrying into the royal family, so she should be planning to focus on the family business. Imperial merchants may not be easy to do! To tell the truth, any imperial merchant has a certain relationship in the court. Even though my imperial grandmother valued Miss Cheng very much, she couldn't help in the previous dynasty. If the Cheng family wants to maintain long-term glory, they must have strong support. And my grandmother is old, so I am afraid that there are not many days to protect Miss Cheng. β
"The fifth prince is honest, and the purple jade is also telling the truth. The Cheng family is just a merchant, and the royal turmoil is too dangerous, and the Cheng family does not dare to find support at will. If you lean on the wrong tree, you will have to endure the difficulty of covering the nest in the future. Unreliable, unaffordable. β
"Miss Cheng is very scruples! But don't be in a hurry to refuse. What if I could ensure the safety of you and your family? β
Cheng Ziyu didn't answer, and smiled lowly.
She did hear the sincerity. At this time, the fifth prince had begun to commensurate with her "you" and "me", and lowered his posture.
But the heavenly family can't even rely on the blood of fathers, sons, brothers, and relatives, so what is the guarantee? The killing of donkeys is commonplace, it happens every day, and if you believe in him, you will have a ghost.
"Don't believe me? Let's put it this way, I don't need your support on the surface, or if I don't need your support at the moment? β
"Then I don't know what the Cheng family can give you?"
"I think Miss Cheng's ambition when she gave the gift yesterday is very appetizing. It is not easy for imperial businessmen to do, and it is even more difficult for military businessmen. Especially when there is no one in the army. I can help with this favor in the army. β
Cheng Ziyu knew that what he said was the truth.
The maternal grandfather of the fifth prince is Nanping Hou, who is in charge of the military, and his uncle is in the military department, and he does have a lot to do with the army behind him.
If she wants to become a military merchant, this is indeed a shortcut.
"What do you want?"
The sincerity of the five princes' confessions was somewhat unexpected, and the temptation given was not small. But Cheng Ziyu still has no plans to cooperate with him.
But she still wanted to know what he wanted from her? Silver? Orders? A commission from an order in the army? Ammunition? Or what?
"This ...... Not in a hurry! β
The corners of the Fifth Prince's lips raised.
"What I put forward is an intention, Miss Cheng will consider it first. I don't think Miss Cheng trusts me very much, so I plan to show my sincerity with some practical actions. Miss Cheng is not in a hurry to express her position, and it is not too late for us to cooperate when we have made up our minds! β
After saying this, the fifth prince did not wait for Cheng Ziyu to answer, but just bowed his head and strode towards the queen mother's residence......
Zhu Changzhe, who turned around, sighed lowly, at this moment he was thinking of the day before yesterday.
The emperor said that he would point out Cheng Ziyu to him, and he was so angry and embarrassed that he almost had murderous intent. At this moment, he was a little pity, if he really pointed out people to him the day before yesterday, then he would have saved a lot of hands and feet, and he wouldn't have to make such a trip now. Did he underestimate this woman......
Cheng Ziyu was a little behind, and when she stepped up, she saw a person walking behind a big tree not far away.
The ghost is not gone!
She cursed in her heart, who else could it be besides Zhu Changan?
Seeing him coldly, the fire in her heart was almost about to burn again. She tried to take two deep breaths before she suppressed her anger a little.
He strode in and was in front of her.
Cheng Ziyu couldn't avoid it, so she could only give him a salute.
"What did the Fifth Prince say to you?"
"It's none of your business, is it?"
"Inconvenient to say?"
"How can it be inconvenient? It's nothing more than talking about last night's dinner, birthday gifts and other topics. β
Which pot is not opened, after Zhu Changan heard this, the face that was originally trying to restrain himself was a lot darker at this time.
"The two of you have been talking about half a cup of tea all the way, I don't know, you think you are plotting something!"
"The fourth prince really cares about his siblings, and he even knows how long I have been talking to the fifth prince and how many miles I have walked. I don't care, I don't know, I thought the fourth prince was secretly following the fifth prince! β
Cheng Ziyu snorted unceremoniously.
She and Zhu Changan originally maintained a false cloak of peace.
But with the revival of Zhu Changan's memory, his whole temperament has obviously changed a lot, although I don't know how much he remembered at the moment, but the time when the two of them tore their faces should not be far away.
She won't do anything to expose it, but she must not want to be manipulated by him in this life.
Threat? Who wouldn't?
"The fourth prince has to be careful when he speaks, if he is heard, he can still have any plans for the five princes!"
"I really didn't expect that Miss Cheng, who disdains this prince, will be so sharp-toothed! No wonder the world always said that businesswomen were enthusiastic and unrestrained, but it turned out to be true! Yesterday, General Li heroically saved the United States, and today he talked with the five princes. Or Miss Cheng's means are high! β
Cheng Ziyu noticed that when he mentioned Li Chun, hatred flowed in his eyes, obviously he had regarded Li Chun as an enemy.
She chuckled.
"What the Four Princes said is true! People, there are always high and low, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and their status and vision are determined by their origins. Some people are born extraordinary, and their destiny returns. But it's a pity that some people can't achieve the climate even if they have the means to reach the sky. Do you say yes? β
As he stabbed the knife in it, she stabbed it back. Zhu Changan's biggest heart problem is his background, and not having a strong maternal family is his biggest pain. Pretentious, he never thought that he was worse than the crown prince and others, what he lacked was his background. What is most unfair about him is the fact that his background can determine his fate.
Cheng Ziyu's stab immediately made his face twitch for a moment.
"The fourth prince has a noble background, so naturally he will not have such concerns. However, General Li was responsible for the safety of the banquet with the holy decree, and the five princes were the head of the southern tour, one of these two people represented the saint and the imperial court, and the other represented the royal family, so don't say anything about the four princes in the future. It doesn't matter if you ruin the reputation of the people's daughter, but if people hear it, I'm afraid that what is your purpose in being the fourth prince! β
"Cheng Ziyu, this prince will give you a few colors......" Zhu Changan was still annoyed and angry.
"I'm sorry, Fourth Prince!"
Cheng Ziyu's voice rose suddenly. "The people's daughter came on the order of the Queen Mother, and the time is not early, can you ask the four princes to take care of it? Rong Minnu has met the Queen Mother first? β
was called by Cheng Ziyu like this, and several grandmothers guarding outside the Queen Mother's courtyard all looked over.
"Okay, you Cheng Ziyu!"
Zhu Changan was deflated one after another, and he was so angry that he smoked, but he couldn't help the woman in front of him.
He really wanted to go up and grab this slut by the neck so that she would know the consequences of confronting him.
But he couldn't, his clenched fist clenched and loosened.
He didn't even dare to catch her, and he didn't know how many eyeliners there were around here. At this time, his overall situation is good, and he is steadily rising, if he loses his future because of this kind of slut, it will not be a good deal!
He loosened his tense face slightly.
"The Shi family has opened a new hot spring, and the Queen Mother will go to the first bath to make soup this afternoon, and the Queen Mother will naturally not need you to serve at that time. You are a merchant, come and go freely, then you go to the Qinghe Teahouse in Yangzhou City, go directly to the third floor, I have something to say to you! β
With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked to the front.
After only two steps, he turned around and added. "Remember, I'm waiting for you there, if you don't come, you will bear the consequences!"
Cheng Ziyu looked at his back and couldn't help but snort coldly.
What a big face!
He asked himself to make an appointment, there are nothing more than three possibilities!
The biggest possibility is that he still wants to find out the secrets of his past and present lives. I'm afraid that he is still confused to this day, so he plans to start with himself. See if you are the same as him, see how much you know, and see if you can answer his questions.
The second possibility is to warn yourself. Maybe there is also the intention of inducing, persuading and cooperating with yourself. From the queen to the five princes, they all have the intention of scolding themselves, even if he hates himself again, it is impossible not to be tempted. Especially with Concubine Zhao, he never stopped Concubine Zhao from showing favor to him again and again, which is enough to prove that he may not have no intentions for himself.
The last possibility, maybe it's a trap! What awaits you is a terrible consequence.
Either way, you can't go yourself!
Or at your own risk?
Where does he get his confidence?
Did he think he still had an old affection for him? Or do you think that you are traveling among the powerful to find help, and you will take him into account? Of course, it is also possible that he thinks that he is like him, feeling confused about dreams and curious about him? So definitely go and check it out?
He's as self-righteous as ever......
Cheng Ziyu stepped into the queen mother's courtyard.
At this time, in addition to the two princes who had just arrived, several ladies had already invited An Zheng to accompany the Queen Mother to talk and drink tea.
After she asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, Zhu Changan became angry.
"The fifth brother and Miss Cheng came together, and from a distance, they looked talented and beautiful. It's just that how do you come in one after the other? Miss Cheng had already stated the day before yesterday that she would definitely not marry into the royal family, fifth brother, what are you doing with such scruples? It's too much to ask Miss Cheng to stand in the sun! β
Zhu Si smiled and joked, and all the words were vicious.
Partner? What companion? made people doubt the relationship between the two. The talented and beautiful woman clearly points to the fact that the two of them are a couple, which makes people think about it. One after the other, it was pointed out that the two were sneaky.
And the subsequent words not only hinted at Cheng Ziyu's rebellion, but also pointed to the five princes who had no silver three hundred taels here, revealing that the two had an ulterior relationship.
While spreading rumors, by the way, he also provoked the relationship between Cheng Ziyu and the five princes in front of the Queen Mother.
It's a shame that he still pretended to be an afterthought, which is really disgusting.
The Queen Mother was originally being served to drink health tea, but when she heard this, she immediately raised her eyes, and her eyes looked back and forth on Cheng Ziyu and the five princes. Although he did not speak, he was obviously displeased.
Several concubines all picked up the tea bowls and looked like they were watching the show.
Even all the servants in the house came together to look at it......
"You deliberately went one after the other, but called the fourth brother who came over on the other side, I don't know whether to go first or wait first! The fourth brother understands what you mean, so ah, the fourth brother walked ahead of Miss Cheng. made a shield for you, the fifth brother has to remember to invite the fourth brother to drink! β
Cheng Ziyu glanced at the fifth prince, his expression remained unchanged, and he was not affected by Zhu Changan at all.
At this time, she didn't plan to speak, she was not the only one who was unlucky, the fifth prince was also a victim, and let's see how he would deal with it.
"The fourth brother Hugh is joking casually. The first time I spoke to Miss Cheng, how could I say it together. Miss Cheng came from the north, and I came from the west, just happened to meet, but the fourth brother said something strange. What is the fourth brother's intention?
If you run into it, but pretend not to see it, it's rude, right? Miss Cheng is a guest, as the person in charge of the Southern Tour, what are the questions about how many words of greeting do you have? β
"If you don't, you don't have it, you understand! What are you bothered about? However, if you don't have any ideas, you both walked all the way, but why did you get to the door and enter separately? I'll help you cover it up, but you still don't know what to do? The Queen Mother is merciful, if you really do something, are you still afraid that the Queen Mother will not be perfected? β
"Thank you so much, Fourth Brother! You really have a seven-trick exquisite heart, and you can figure out so much with just one glance! β
The fourth prince kowtowed to the Queen Mother.
"It's all wrong to blame my grandson for this. My grandson just asked on the way about Miss Cheng's food and accommodation last night. When I asked, I found out that Miss Cheng lived far away, and it took more than a quarter of an hour to come to the emperor's grandmother......"
The five princes lowered their heads, and their words were full of grievances.
He rubbed his fingers.
Zhu Changan! He wanted to fix him later, but he didn't want him to be sent to the door!
