Chapter 403: The Chin Mission Arrives
Wujia Zhuang has a big business and must have a personal relationship with Tongchuan Mansion.
However, interests belong to interests, conflicts belong to conflicts, and if the official bank is robbed, it will greatly affect Zhou Ming's political performance as a party manager.
What Wujiazhuang did, Zhou Ming definitely didn't know.
It's important to figure out who's with whom.
Song Che buckled his mask, gently pushed open the door of the private room, bypassed the screen and walked into the hall.
I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, lying on the bamboo couch with his eyes closed, a maid rubbing his shoulders for him, and a maidservant girl pinching his feet for him, so that he could not enjoy his happiness.
When the maidservant saw Song Che coming, she just wanted to speak, but Song Che first made a silent gesture, signaling not to disturb Yaxing.
"Oops......" Zhou Ming didn't know that someone was coming, and shook his head and sighed: "Only when you come to Yanchun Pavilion can the official's body and mind relax." ”
The maidservant glanced at Song Che.
Song Che shook his head slightly, and after turning to the screen, he listened to people chatting first.
The maid understood, bowed her head and asked Zhou Ming on the couch: "Lord Zhou, what are your worries, say it and let the slave and maid share it for you." ”
Zhou Ming sighed: "This is a big event, even I am anxious, let alone you, this time, I have to lose my black yarn hat." ”
The maidservant said: "Lord Zhou, you are diligent in government and love the people, who dares to take off your black gauze hat?" ”
"I am diligent and love the people, but the people don't love me, speaking of this, I am angry in my heart, these barbarian Miao slaves, even dare to rob the official silver, and they also robbed the outside of the governance office, do you say that you are angry? If this matter is spread to the capital, my black gauze hat will not be able to fall off?
And let me tell you, I heard that the top has sent a messenger to the southwest, and Weifu has made a private visit to the southwest, if my mess is discovered by him, he will mix me in front of the emperor, don't say that the black yarn hat, even the head can be kept is a problem! ”
Zhou Ming suddenly held the handmaid's hand and pressed it into his chest, his eyes were lewd, but his mouth complained: "Cuicui, this official is so tormented in his heart!" ”
"Okay, then I'll rub ...... for you"
"By the way, my lord, what does that Qincha look like?" The other maidservant asked suddenly.
Zhou Ming said: "I heard that his identity is very mysterious, I saw that anyone was wearing a white mask, and carrying a dragon golden knife given by the emperor, he had the right to cut first and then play, this kind of person is generally powerful, and in the capital, he is above 10,000 people under one person!" ”
The two maidservants looked at each other and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Ming was puzzled.
"They should be laughing, Lord Zhou is so merry."
Song Che slowly walked out of the screen, pulled out the golden knife from his waist, and shook it at Zhou Ming on the couch: "Lord Zhou, do you think this knife in my hand looks like it was given by the emperor?" ”
"Ahh
Zhou Ming's face changed greatly, and he was so frightened that he rolled off the couch.
The two maidservants withdrew from the private room.
"You, you...... Yes, yes, Qin Qin Qin ......" Zhou Ming hurriedly got up, tidied up his clothes, and made a big salute to Song Che:
"Lord Qincha has arrived, and the lower officials have missed the distance, please forgive your sins!"
Song Che helped Zhou Ming up, "Hey, Lord Zhou doesn't need to make this big gift, I only pass by occasionally, and I happened to meet here...... Lord Zhou, the two of us are quite fateful, and we actually ...... You can meet in an elegant place like Qinglou. ”
Zhou Ming laughed twice and said bitterly: "Lord Bai, don't wash the officials, you can enter here silently, how can it be a chance encounter......
"I do have something very important to look for you,"
Song paused and said, "But before I talk about things, I have a question I want to ask Lord Zhou——
I went to the southwest this time, and I only showed my identity in front of two people, one is Uncle Weng of Jiangling Mansion, and the other is Lord Zhang Shouzhang of Kuizhou Mansion, and every time I talk to them, I have specially instructed that this is a private visit to Weifu, and it cannot be rumored outside, so how did Lord Zhou know that I was coming to Tongchuan? ”
After all, he is a fake messenger who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and if it spreads, it will be troublesome.
Zhou Ming hesitated for a long time before he confessed: "Zhang Shou of Kuizhou Mansion is the brother-in-law of Xiaguan......"
He hurriedly explained: "But brother-in-law, he just mentioned you occasionally in a letter to his family, and the lower official swore to the golden knife that no one in the entire Tongchuan except me knows about your private visit!" ”
"Really? Does the servant girl who just gave you a shoulder and pinching your back count? ”
"Uh, this ......"
"Lord Zhou, I didn't say you, you quietly fell into the gentle township, and you couldn't control your mouth, so if they pry your legs open, how can there be secrets?"
"That'...... That...... Then the official will send someone to give them secretly! ”
Zhou Ming's eyes were fierce, and he made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Song Che narrowed his eyes, otherwise how could these people be big officials, and the matter of killing people and destroying their mouths almost blurted out.
"They are my people, and it doesn't matter if they know their identity, I just want to remind Lord Zhou through this incident that beware of misfortune coming out of the mouth."
Song Che paused and said: "The above is just some idle talk, Lord Zhou, don't take it to heart, what I'm going to talk about next, you will definitely rot in your stomach when you hear it, and you can't even tell your wife and concubine when you ask, otherwise you will suffer a catastrophe."
It's a light word, but it's powerful enough.
Zhou Ming solemnly should be.
Song Che pressed his mask and just made a gesture to uncover it, Zhou Ming hurriedly closed his eyes.
"Lord Zhou?"
"Lord Bai's dignity, the lower officials still don't think it's good."
"I'm not asking you to look at my face, I'm asking you to look at my mouth."
"Look at the mouth?"
Only then did Zhou Ming open his eyes.
Song Che lifted the mask halfway, revealing the corners of his bruised mouth, and said, "I just want to tell Lord Zhou that I was almost killed in Tongchuan." ”
"Huh?" Zhou Ming hurriedly held Song Che's hand, extremely concerned: "Your Excellency, is your body okay?" I know a miracle doctor in the city, why don't you take you to see it? ”
Song Che squinted, buckled his mask, and asked, "Do you want to know, who beat me?" ”
"Who is it! The lower official will order his troops and arrest him so that Lord Bai will personally send him down! ”
Zhou Ming was so angry that he beat his chest, "It's just unreasonable, lawless, you dare to beat Lord Qincha in Tongchuan, I will not spare him!" ”
This acting is too pompous, isn't it?
Song Che walked to the window, gently opened the window, sucked a deep breath of the cool summer breeze, and slowly spit out a sentence:
"It was the people from Wujiazhuang who did it."
Zhou Ming's brows tightened, and there were ten thousand careful thoughts in his rolling eyes, and he asked: "The owner of the Wu family, he is kind and charitable, he is righteous and squandering money, and he has always been famous, could this be a misunderstanding?" ”
Song Che directly told Zhou Ming about Wujiazhuang pretending to be a Miao bandit to steal official silver, and then told Zhou Ming about the blame for Miao Zhai, and then said:
"If Lord Zhou doesn't believe it, you can go out of the city to have a look, and now the portraits of me are flying all over the sky. Ben Chin sent this head to the neck, but it was worth two hundred taels of silver. ”
He compared the word "two" to Zhou Ming again, and said in an accentuated tone:
"Two hundred taels of silver!"
