Chapter 64 Quid pro quo
Here Zheng Xize left the palace, and Chu Wenyang, the captain of Kyoto, acted rebelliously, and he could no longer tolerate it.
Zheng Xize asked Rui Si, who was waiting outside the palace gate, while thinking, "Let you send someone to keep an eye on Chu Wenyang, but what is the movement?" ”
"Back to my lord, the bait has been prepared, presumably Chu Wenyang will make a move in less than three days." Ruisi bowed his head and said.
Zheng Xize's eyes flashed fiercely: "Then wait for the fish to take the bait." ”
Wang Duzhong suddenly appeared countless rumors against the Kyoto Lieutenant, first the storyteller in the teahouse said a paragraph of Chu Wenyang's concoction of unjust, false and wrongful cases, there were many listeners, Chu Wenyang heard about it, and immediately arrested the storyteller and imprisoned him, but the rumors were getting bigger and bigger, and before it was three days, the streets and alleys were singing nursery rhymes describing Chu Wenyang's murder and punishment.
This is the royal capital, if it is too big, it will inevitably reach the ears of the king, Chu Wenyang is unscrupulous on weekdays, even some people who want to avenge their grievances are secretly disposed of by him, and now that there is chaos, Chu Wenyang can't help but panic.
"Catch me, whoever sings will be arrested first." Chu Wenyang gave an order, and the officials of the Kyoto Governor's Mansion went out one after another, and when they saw that there were men, women, and children singing nursery rhymes on the street, they were all arrested and put in prison first.
But in addition to the people on the streets, there are also large and small teahouses and wineries in the city, and they can't all be closed.
Chu Wenyang sat restless in the mansion, but a servant ran in with his head down.
"Someone just sent a letter, saying that it can solve an urgent need."
"Who's the messenger?" Chu Wenyang frowned and shouted.
The official was reprimanded by Chu Wenyang.
"The little one, the little one doesn't care."
"Rubbish!" Chu Wenyang was already in a bad mood, and his exit was even more fierce.
"So, this letter?" The official asked cautiously.
Chu Wenyang glanced at it.
"Give it to me, I want to see who did it."
"Yes." The official presented the envelope in response.
There are not many words in the letter, but the words are shocking, and Chu Wenyang's face changed and changed.
"I have to go out and arrest those who lie and deceive the people." Chu Wenyang stood up and said.
As soon as the official heard this, he had a headache, in the past two days, just arresting the person who sang the nursery rhyme has been locked up in the Kyoto Wei prison, and the adults still have to arrest it, and the person who is arrested can't be beaten or released, but how is it good, but the official will not dare to let Chu Wenyang hear this.
Chu Wenyang saw that the official was trembling with his head down, and he snorted coldly and walked out of the mansion.
Now because of the wanton arrest, the people have avoided it, Chu Wenyang's carriage galloped all the way in the royal capital, and soon arrived at the Ruilian Hall informed in the letter.
When Chu Wenyang was led up to the second-floor private room by the servant of Ruilian Hall, the room was already filled with smoke and aroma, and when he opened the door, a woman was sitting behind the screen to prepare spices, and the aroma came from there, and the man sat in the center of the square and closed his eyes as if savoring.
Chu Wenyang was already anxious in his heart, and he had no intention of tasting the fragrance at all.
"Jing Hong is the head." Chu Wenyang said loudly.
The man opened his eyes.
"Lord Chu, don't come unharmed."
Saying that, he waved his hand to signal the woman to go out, and the woman was as kind as a stream, took the incense and bowed out of the room.
"Yuan Shui recently learned this perfume technique, which is very refreshing, I don't know what Lord Chu thinks?"
Chu Wenyang frowned and sat down.
"Jinghong, you know that I didn't come today to taste the fragrance."
"Of course I know." Jing Hong raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Chu Wenyang, "I made an appointment to meet the adults this time, just to solve the immediate danger for the adults." ”
"You didn't say it in your letter, I want to know, what can the Weiyun Chamber of Commerce give me?" Chu Wenyang said coldly.
"Heh, Weiyun can give you far more than you see." Jing Hong smiled, looking extremely confident. "Lord Chu has suffered from rumors, and Weiyun can make all the merchants and teahouses in the royal capital keep silent about this matter from now on, and no one is allowed to talk about it."
"All?" Chu Wenyang thought secretly.
"Yes, although Weiyun's shops do not cover the entire royal capital, they are all friendly with us, if Weiyun can come forward to mediate, no one will not give face."
Jing Hong picked up the teacup and sniffed it, looking at Chu Wenyang, who was frowning deeply.
"Such a good thing, what is Lord Chu still hesitating about?"
"I don't think the Maintainers Chamber of Commerce will help me for no reason." Chu Wenyang raised his eyes and said.
Jing Hong laughed.
"Since I treat each other with sincerity, naturally there are some small favors that need the approval of Lord Chu, Weiyun will help you, and Lord Chu only needs to open up to the merchants under Weiyun in the royal capital in the future."
"Open the net?" Chu Wenyang snorted coldly. "What do you do with the forbidden things?"
Jing Hong waved his hand.
"What is forbidden, someone needs to buy and sell, just like you and I, don't we also need each other?"
"If you find out about those things, you'll lose your head." Chu Wenyang said.
Jing Hong still smiled confidently.
"Isn't what Lord Chu has done something that will make him lose his head?"
"You!" Chu Wenyang just wanted to get angry, but Jing Hong poured him another cup of tea.
"Lord Chu, don't be angry, if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is the best road that has been paved for you."
Chu Wenyang was suddenly angry.
Half a day.
"Okay, I accept the conditions you proposed, and don't let me down."
"That's nature." Jing Hong smiled and nodded.
