Chapter 197: The Box

The two servants left the governor's mansion with two empty boxes, went out with their front feet, and came to a secluded place with their back feet.

The two were also stunned, empty box?

How could it be an empty box?

No, it's definitely not an empty box, it must have something else inside!

The two didn't have time to discuss at this time, so they hurriedly took the box and returned to An Wanghai.

After An Wanghai opened the box one by one and looked at it, he deliberately showed a mysterious smile, then closed the lid of the box and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

The two servants hurriedly waved their hands: "No, no, no, Special Envoy Ye, I can't do it." ”

An Wanghai nodded: "Yes, I can't help it, otherwise, I will send you back to Zhangfu and go home for dinner." ”

The two still waved their hands: "I can't help it!" ”

An Wanghai turned around and walked towards the restaurant in front: "That's right." ”

When they arrived at the restaurant, the two didn't dare to sit down, but just stood aside.

After An Wanghai ordered the wine and food at the shopkeeper, he raised his eyes and looked at the two: "What are you doing?" Pestle, this makes you taller than me? ”

The two had no choice but to sit down next to a bench.

An Wanghai pointed to the opposite side: "One person sits on one side." ”

The two had to separate, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, just looked at the desktop, not knowing what An Wanghai was going to prepare to do.

In the Yongcheng Governor's Mansion, because of An Wanghai's completely unpredictable behavior, Fu Guodong had to bring Yansun over and discuss with him, what does this Ye Yunzhi want to do?

After listening to the details, Yan Sun shook his head and said, "I don't know, this Ye Yunzhi is too mysterious." ”

Xin Guangyun looked at the position where the original box was placed: "Send two empty boxes, and I have to go back, saying that I sent the wrong one." ”

Yansun said: "Those two are mahogany boxes, right?" There's carvings out there, right? ”

Fu Guodong said: "Yes, how do you know? ”

Yan Sun said: "The news from the Eight Kings Courtyard that some time ago, that is, on the day of the fire in Li Songming's textile factory, when Jiang Boqi and Li Songming went to the banquet, they sent two boxes to Ye Yunzhi, as for what was inside, it is unknown, but the carved mahogany box should be sent by Jiang Boqi and Li Songming." ”

When Xin Guangyun heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter: "How could this Ye Yunzhi transfer the gifts given by Jiang Boqi and Li Songming to the big marshal?" And it's still empty? What does he mean? ”

Yansun shook his head: "Who knows." ”

Fu Guodong tried his best to calm himself down: "First invited Qiu Yishan and Qiu Gubo to dinner, then invited Jiang Boqi and Li Songming to a banquet, and then came to me, what kind of immortal is this Ye Yunzhi?" ”

Suddenly, Xin Guangyun thought of something: "Could he not be Ye Yunzhi?" ”

Fu Guodong shook his head: "No, no one dares to be so bold to pretend to be a special envoy of the Fengjun and go to meet Zhang Fuzhi." ”

Yansun pondered for a moment and said, "Dashuai, let's go out and find out the news, inquire in many ways, and see if we have found some Ye Yunzhi's secret." ”

Fu Guodong smiled and said, "It's okay, but remember, it's just to find out the news, don't do anything else." ”

Yansun smiled: "Don't worry, it's not time to bleed yet." ”

In the restaurant, the wine and food have been served, An Wanghai picked up the chopsticks but put them down.

The two servants still bowed their heads, not daring to raise their eyes to look at him.

An Wanghai asked: "By the way, I have been in Yongcheng for almost ten days, and you have been following me for almost ten days, I still don't know the names of the two honorable people?" ”

The fatter man hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the little one's surname is Wan, and his name is Wan Xiangrong." ”

The slightly thinner servant said: "The younger one is also surnamed Wan, and his name is Wanxianggui." ”

An Wanghai looked at the two: "Wan Xiangrong, Wan Xianggui, you should be four brothers, right?" According to the name of the four words of glory and wealth? ”

Wan Xiangrong hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the envoy is really discerning." ”

An Wanghai said with a smile: "What is clear-sighted, don't say it if you can't say it." ”

Wan Xiangrong looked embarrassed.

An Wanghai said: "Today, I invite the two of you to dinner, it is considered to be a friend, I am a person, in fact, I am a straight person, I don't like to beat around the bush, I know, you are sent by Zhang Ye to serve me, and you are also the eyes and ears beside me, don't deny it, it's useless to deny, but today's matter, you also know that if I directly pick it out to Zhang Ye, don't say that the two of you are not happy, and the two brothers you left in Zhang's Mansion will not end well." ”

Wan Xiangrong said: "Please also ask Special Envoy Ye to raise his noble hand." ”

An Wanghai said: "You forced me to be like this, I only said one word, you heard clearly, if the news of my going to the Governor's Mansion today reaches the ears of Zhang Ye, you will die." ”

Wan Xiangrong hurriedly said: "Special Envoy Ye, this is Yongcheng, it's not a secret, even if the two of us are dumb, as soon as you leave the Eight Kings Courtyard, where you go, what you do, what you say, Zhang Ye will know immediately." ”

Wan Xianggui also said: "Yes, Special Envoy Ye, we are just subordinates, don't embarrass us." ”

An Wanghai just smiled coldly: "I'm thinking, what will I do with you in the future?" If I have anything else to do in Yongcheng, leaving you by my side is equivalent to burying two mines and sending you back......"

As soon as they said this, the two of them quickly shook their heads and threw their heads away.

An Wanghai said again: "Send you back, you will die, if you don't send you back, are you from the Zhang family, or will you report what I did to Zhang Ye, dilemma, you say, what should I do?" ”

Wan Xianggui secretly looked at Wan Xiangrong, Wan Xiangrong thought for a while and said, "Special Envoy Ye, in the future, we should say what we should say, and what we shouldn't say, just shut up." ”

An Wanghai sneered: "How do you know what to say and what not to say?" ”

Wan Xianggui immediately said: "Special Envoy Ye, we will all listen to your dispatch in the future." ”

An Wanghai took a sip of wine: "Fart!" Don't act here, you are the Zhang family, serve the Zhang family's bowl, eat the Zhang family's food, can you be sent by me? ”

The two were silent, and An Wanghai said: "Let's do this first, and in the future, you will look at it, and I will watch it, come, eat!" ”

The meal made Wan Xiangrong and Wan Xianggui tremble, but after following An Wanghai back to the Eight Kings Courtyard, the two of them immediately passed the news back to Zhang's mansion.

After all, as An Wanghai said, they served the Zhang family's bowl and ate the Zhang family's food, and the fate of the four brothers was controlled by Zhang Fuzhi, and they had no choice.

In Zhang's study, Zhang Fuzhi had just come back from the bank, drinking tea and listening to Zhang Fu's report.

After Zhang Fuzhi put down the teacup, his eyes jumped from the teacup to the tabletop, and then from the desktop to the bookshelf, and after scanning the room, he got up and walked to the window.

When he walked to the window and turned his back to Zhang Fu, his face was full of sadness.

What does this Ye Yunzhi want to do?

After a long time, Zhang Fuzhi turned around: "The two boxes that Ye Yunzhi sent to the Governor's Mansion were indeed sent by Jiang Boqi and Li Songming?" ”

Zhang Fudao: "According to Wan Xiangrong and Wan Xianggui, it is true, but there seems to be nothing in the box." ”

"Hmph-" Zhang Fuzhi sneered, "Who is Ye Yunzhi?" Will he send an empty box to Fu Guodong? This is clearly a secret crossing of Chen Cang! He knows he has my people by his side! What if the box contained letters? Wouldn't that be weightless? ”

Zhang Fu was silent, just bowed his head and waited.

Zhang Fuzhi's thoughts at this moment are exactly the same as An Wanghai's expectations.

He sent two empty boxes for three purposes: first, to focus everyone's attention on himself in Yongcheng; Second, although the attention is on himself, everyone does not know what he is going to do; Third, Fu Guodong will have great doubts about himself, and now if he wants to come out and spy on his news, he can only let the people of the trench Yaksha secretly investigate; Fourth, Zhang Fuzhi will not believe it, he only sent an empty box, because there is no weight, he is so suspicious, he will naturally think that the box contains something similar to a letter, that is to say, Zhang Fuzhi thinks about it deeply, and he will feel that maybe Fengjun wants to contact Fu Guodong privately; Fifth, he deliberately let the two servants follow, and deliberately let Wan Xiangrong and Wan Xianggui, who were eager to know the truth, speak, so that he could directly point out the identities of the two, even if he couldn't let the two of them not spy on him, he would no longer have to pretend in the future, and by the way, he could hold the handle of the two of them, and at the same time, he could also pass the news to Zhang Fuzhi by the way.

Zhang Fuzhi sat down again and picked up the teacup: "Let Wan Xiangrong and Wan Xianggui keep an eye on Ye Yunzhi, and in addition, prepare the 150,000 yuan, and send it to Li Songming when the time is right." ”

Zhang Fu was a little surprised: "Master, do you want to pull Li Songming?" ”

Zhang Fuzhi said: "Sending charcoal in the snow can make him more loyal, once there is a change in the three families of Yongcheng, we will be unlucky, you think about it, it is our three families in Yongcheng who came forward to stabilize the situation in Yongcheng with foreigners, and now that the three families have problems, the situation will definitely fall into turmoil, I pondered, that thing should be done by Epiphany, Qiu Yishan and Qiu Gubo father and son, just want to see us fall apart, but the hands are too soft. ”

Zhang Fu nodded and said, "Understood, I'll go and tell the account office to prepare." ”

Zhang Fuzhi put down the teacup: "Also, what has Pei An been doing these days?" Why don't you see him come home? ”

Zhang Fudao: "Master, the young master doesn't let people follow him." ”

Zhang Fuzhi said angrily: "If he doesn't follow, he won't follow, now the Zhang family or I have the final say, right?" ”

Zhang Fu immediately said: "The old man is angry, I know what to do." ”

Zhang Fuzhi said: "From now on, keep an eye on him for me all the time." ”

Zhang Fu ordered to leave, and as soon as the door closed, Zhang Fuzhi's sad face came on his face again.

What exactly does Ye Yunzhi want to do? I've been here for almost ten days, and I don't talk about arms, I've been waiting for him to say it, I didn't expect him to be so patient?

Could it be that he wants to resell the arms to Fu Guodong? It's impossible, now Fu Guodong is at the end of the crossbow, and he can't take out so much money to buy arms.

Zhang Fuzhi sat there, drinking tea cup after tea, constantly thinking about various possibilities, each of which seemed to be in line with Ye Yunzhi's approach, but lacked evidence to support it.

Wait for two more days, if Ye Yunzhi doesn't open his mouth again, he will have to come to visit.

At this moment, Zhang Fuzhi suddenly thought of a person, that is Hu Shen, why is Hu Shen so quiet during this time? He hasn't come out of the courtyard, so what does he want to do?
