Chapter Thirty-Eight: Mid-Week's Considerations
This old man is quite knowledgeable about current affairs.
Zhang Fan sat on the main seat with a faint smile on his face.
"Commander, you seem to be pleased."
Davari's voice came from his wrist.
"No, I originally thought that I had to use some other methods to hold this old man, but I didn't expect the other party to agree so simply, which made me a little unexpected."
For today's conversation, Zhang Fan was indeed surprised, he really didn't expect Zhou Zhonghong's idea to be so strange.
The back hand that was originally prepared was not used, and it was a pity that he still wanted to see the other party's jokes.
But now that the purpose has been achieved, there is no need for some things to be made public.
Although Zhang Fan does things by unscrupulous means, he can still grasp the degree that should be done, and since the other party is so cooperative, there is no need for him to make things difficult for the other party.
As for threatening the other party with this, that was the previous idea, and now forget it, if the other party really dares to betray him, then his reward will definitely be a bullet.
took out the backup data of the video from his pocket, and after a little hesitation, Zhang Fan directly slammed it to the ground.
With a crisp sound of "pop", a crisis that was enough to force Zhou Zhonghong to death quietly faded.
......
Zhou Zhonghong walked on the road, looking at the bleak scene on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but think of Zhang Fan's words.
Let the people live a good life, this is the criterion for officials, not the capital for promotion.
At this moment, he was really curious about what kind of person Zhang Fan would become in the future.
The Ninety-Five? The co-master of the world?
Thinking that he was famous in the middle of the week, he didn't expect that he would get on such a thief ship when he was on the verge of old age.
If you succeed, maybe it will be a step to the sky, but if you fail, it will be a catastrophe.
But Zhou Zhonghong never regretted it, for some reason, after Zhang Fan said those words, a feeling suddenly sprouted in his heart.
Maybe this guy can really become a character like Ming Taizu.
That is, Zhang Fan didn't know what Zhou Zhonghong was thinking at this time, and if he knew, it was estimated that the thunder would not be light.
How can he be virtuous, he can actually compare with Ming Taizu.
If Zhu Yuanzhang is really given these abilities, it is estimated that people can directly unify the world.
After returning home, Zhou Zhonghong's face looked tired, but his eyes were shining.
"Coming back?"
At the moment when Zhou Zhonghong stepped into the door, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly came to the front and asked for warmth.
"Hmm." Zhou Zhonghong nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.
Seeing her husband so tired, Mrs. Zhou had a stomach full of doubts, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask, so she hurriedly arranged for Zhou Zhonghong to rest first.
And in the middle of the week, he slept directly until the sun fell.
After waking up, the originally tired spirit also recovered a lot, and when he turned his eyes, he found that Mrs. Zhou had been guarding the bedside.
"Awake?"
After seeing Zhou Zhonghong wake up, Mrs. Zhou smiled lightly, and then hurriedly brought a cup of tea in front of him.
"It's too old to accept it."
Zhou Zhonghong sighed, thinking back to when he was a young student, let alone staying up all night, even if he read books all night for several days in a row, he didn't feel half sleepy.
After drinking a cup of tea, the fragrance in my mouth finally swept away the remaining sleepiness.
After turning over and getting out of bed, Zhou Zhonghong first got dressed and then tidied up his appearance in the mirror. (Mirrors have appeared in the plot of Zhen Huan's biography, but according to the information I checked, the correct appearance time of mirrors like the one in the plot should be after 1750)
When looking in the mirror, Zhou Zhonghong didn't know what he thought, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
"Why are you so happy all of a sudden?"
Seeing her husband's smiling face, Mrs. Zhou was also a little curious, she had never seen her husband show such an expression since Zhang Fan entered the city, and today was the first time.
"Today I promised one thing..."
Hearing his wife's inquiry, Zhou Zhonghong hesitated for a moment, and finally told him about today's events.
"Are you crazy?"
After learning that Zhou Zhonghong actually agreed to Zhang Fan's request, Mrs. Zhou stood up directly in shock.
"Do you know what sin it is? Once he fails, our family will have to be buried with him! ”
Mrs. Zhou only felt that her husband was afraid that he was not crazy at the moment, and he even dared to agree to this kind of request, is this tired?
"I naturally know this, you sit down first, don't be so excited..."
Zhou Zhonghong was not half surprised by his wife's overreaction, but comforted the other party to calm down first, and then said the reason for his agreement.
"There are two main reasons why I agreed to him, the first is for your safety, now that the entire city of Songjiang Mansion is under the control of the other party, our life and death can only be determined by his words,
I had hoped that the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court would be able to recover Songjiang Mansion, but Wei Jingguo has now been captured alive, even if the imperial court wants to plan the army to come over again, the time required will not be short, if the other party suddenly changes his mind during this time, what should we do?
So the old man hesitated for a long time, but decided to agree, after all, if he refused, he couldn't say that our family would have to fall to the ground tomorrow, even if it was for the sake of delaying the army, I could only agree. ”
Hearing Zhou Zhonghong's consideration, Mrs. Zhou also fell silent.
That's right, now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, their life and death are just between Zhang Fan's thoughts, if her husband really refuses, it is impossible to say that tomorrow their family will have to die on the streets.
"But you promise to come down, in case they fail, when the time comes for the court to liquidate, you and I still can't escape death, and you may be buried with your reputation at that time."
Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Zhonghong, the two have been married for many years, she naturally knows how much her husband values Qingyu, if he is still hung with a thief hat when he is dying, he is afraid that he will vomit blood in anger.
"Everyone is dead, what's the use of that reputation?"
But at this time, Zhou Zhonghong's words made Mrs. Zhou stunned.
"I understand your concerns, but since it's all a death, it's better to fight, if... Can he really do it? ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou's mouth opened, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
As the prefect, Zhou Zhonghong still has the ability to observe words and emotions and recognize people and be good at their duties, and so he actually thinks that a thief can succeed?
This made Mrs. Zhou a little incomprehensible, and at the same time, she was even more curious about what Zhang Fan talked to him, and he was able to change Zhou Zhonghong, who had always been stubborn, into this.
