Chapter 25: Worrying about the country and the people

Rifle Inn.

Zhang Fu and his servants stayed here, and lived here, Zhang Fu lived in a simple place, and he didn't dare to show his head at will, and he also had to inquire about the news. It was his little servant who went out to inquire about the news, and rushed back early in the morning, saying, "Your Excellency, ......"

Zhang Fu said nervously: "Don't call the adult, call the young master." ”

"Yes, young master." The servant said: "The king of the valley has been closed for the past few days, but a few days ago, he met with the lord of Qingcheng County. ”

Zhang Fu said excitedly: "The county lord of Qingcheng went to our northern army camp half a month ago to pay homage to King Yan, and asked His Royal Highness for peace on behalf of the imperial court. ”

He didn't dare to assert it lightly.

The servant said again: "Didn't the grandfather let the villain stare at the kid surnamed Xu?" The villain inquired, last night he went to Yihong Courtyard, this is the most famous Qinglou in Nanjing, it is said that he also made a big splash in it, claiming to be a thief eyebrows, countless people flock to him. ”

Zhang Fu sneered: "I said earlier that this person is unreliable, you see, we entered Nanjing to plot rebellion, and it was too late to hide his whereabouts, and he was still in the limelight, and he was really a fool." ”

The servant also said, "Yes, it is not foolish. ”

Zhang Fu felt relieved, His Royal Highness King Yan mistakenly believed in the traitor, but it didn't matter, Nanjing City still had his own, and he just needed to finish the affairs of King Gu.

At this time, there was a lot of noise outside, but the shopkeeper came to knock on the door: "The Tianfu envoy should inspect the city and invite the guest officer to go downstairs." ”

Zhang Fu was startled, then calmed down again, and said to the servant: "Go down and have a look." ”

There were already messengers waiting below, who came to interrogate Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu said calmly, but several officials sneered, and one of them said: "I see that you have a northern accent, you are not from Beiping, right?" ”

Zhang Fudao: "I am from Shandong. ”

A few errand officials laughed even colder: "Hmph, in short, there is a suspicion, go, come with us to the yamen." ”

Zhang Fu refused, and was about to make a move, but his servants saw that something was wrong, these errand officials were holding chicken feathers as arrows, and the investigation was fake, and it was true that they wanted to ask for bribes, so the servants hurriedly smiled and said: "A few officials ......" After that, he took out a piece of broken silver from his clothes and presented it.

One of the errand officers accepted it and seemed satisfied, but the other errand officer looked greedily at the servant's treasure bag and stepped forward and said, "I want to search it." Directly pulled out a money bag, opened the money bag, there were a number of silver tickets in it, and there were many broken silver, and there was nothing else, the official weighed it, and said with a smile: "Go." ”

Zhang Fu wanted to catch up, but his servant hurriedly stopped: "Young master...... The big picture counts. ”

Zhang Fu's face was pale, he sighed heavily, and his teeth clenched.

"Young master, we have no silver, all the money is ......" The servant comforted Zhang Fu, and then explained the problem at hand.

Zhang Fu said: "This is not what Young Master Ben is worried about, we have been interrogated, and the person surnamed Hao must have also been interrogated, this surnamed Hao is so stupid, most of them will be exposed, once they are taken by the officials, under severe torture, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be confessed." ”

After that, Zhang Fu carried his hands on his back and sighed with emotion of worrying about the country and the people: "It is not the blessing of King Yan that people like such pigs have mixed into Nanjing." ”

Earning silver, it seems to be much more difficult than imagined, the Ming Dynasty does not worship business, so although Nanjing City is full of businessmen, but the business that can be involved is very small, but all the profiteering industry, there is no deep background is even more unthinkable.

For this reason, Ling Xue was very worried, since the sale was related to Li Jinglong, whether he could plot against Li Jinglong or not, this transaction had become a crucial issue.

But what exactly is the deal?

Hao Fenglou told her with practical actions, and the next night, Hao Fenglou plunged into another green building, called Shihua Pavilion, and carried a full amount of silver tickets of one hundred taels of silver, and did not return for a night.

The same is true on the third day, this time Hao Fenglou's goal is the Qinhuai River, ten miles of Qinhuai River, the painting boat is like weaving, countless boats and boats are endless, the buildings and boats hanging with various colors are brightly lit, and there are high-rollers and hypocritical smoke and dust women everywhere, Hao Fenglou has gradually become some famous, and even as soon as he enters a painting boat or a green building, many people are moved by the wind, and there are many discussions in the PIAO guest world. I also wish that this thief-eyed son had a better reputation, because many people found that the women that Hao Fenglou reviewed often had better business than others.

Hao Fenglou's habit of going out day and night made Ling Xue very dissatisfied.

It's just that Hao Fenglou has always liked to sell Guanzi, but he just made an excuse, saying that he was going to prepare for a deal and prevaricate the matter.

"This guy ......" Ling Xue was indignant in her heart, in the name of rebellion, she wandered around the flowers every day, and kept saying that it was for the sake of King Yan's plan, which was simply ridiculous.

……………………

Tsing Yi Lane, the night is hazy, but due to the war, many refugees fled into the city, this is Nanjing City was unprepared for a while and rushed into the city of stragglers and a group of gentry in the countryside who did not have time to take away the wealth, luck haode, took refuge in their relatives and friends, luck is not haode, wandering around during the day, and can only curl up here at night.

A figure is particularly eye-catching, even if it is down, even if it is hungry and cold, it still can't erase their majestic body.

"Master, I'm hungry...... Why don't we go to work part-time tomorrow morning, and fill our stomachs first, anyway. ”

The owner of Wei'an's body was shocked, and the tiger's eyes shot out a fine light, he was Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu glanced at the poor slave with disdain, although the silver had been robbed by the officials, even if he was driven out by the shopkeeper of the inn because he was penniless, even if there was no one to turn to, and even the hungry stomach was like a fire, but he still couldn't stop Zhang Fu from worrying about the big thing, he squinted his eyes and said lightly: "I heard that the surname Hao has been lingering in the Qinhuai River every day every day, hum, this son is wrong to King Yan, doesn't he know that once he attracts the attention of the government, he will be targeted by these court minions, King Yan's plan is about to be ruined! My 100,000 soldiers of the Northern Army will be implicated by him? Stupid, stupid, stupid! ”

scolded three times in a row for being stupid, Zhang Fu seemed to be a little tired, sat on the ground, leaned against the wall, and sighed again: "Such a big event, how can it be child's play, King Yan mistakenly believed in traitors, and the burden of the 100,000 Northern Army fell on you and me." ”

The servant looked at him pitifully, swallowed his saliva, cautiously shut his mouth, and then curled up to the side and counted the ants on the ground by the dim light.

"Hey...... It seems that I must speed up my pace and contact the king of the valley as soon as possible, but how can I gain his trust? Zhang Fu fell into deep thought.

The servant pinched an ant, rolled in the Adam's apple, and drooled very uncontrollably, and then swallowed the ant in one gulp.

"Hmm...... Still hungry. ”
