Chapter 51: It's Time to Drink Medicine
After Jiang Ning entered the North Courtyard, under the guidance of the inner factory fanzi, he staggered into the room, and immediately fell straight on the bed.
A pleasant smile appeared on his face, and he slowly closed his eyes, and was about to fall asleep.
When the wine is in full swing, it is the most wonderful taste to fall asleep in a daze.
At this moment, I heard a "squeak" and the door opened.
Zheng Fangrui walked in with a bowl of medicinal soup and stepped on lotus steps.
"Master, it's time to drink the medicine."
Jiang Ning heard this charming voice, opened his eyes suddenly, and his whole body was excited.
Fortunately, it's not Dalang......
"Is it okay not to drink? This medicine is too bitter. ”
Jiang Ning lay on the bed, turned his face sideways and looked at Zheng Fangrui and begged for words.
This medicinal soup was the most unpleasant thing he had ever drunk in his two lives.
After drinking it for a few months, I still haven't gotten used to it.
Zheng Fangrui replied:
"No, sir, I see that your body is about to be adjusted, and if you stop at this juncture, it will be a failure."
Jiang Ning turned over, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Rui'er, my good Rui'er, you just let the master go this time." ”
Zheng Fangrui suddenly heard the name in his mouth, and her delicate body suddenly trembled.
The delicate and delicate face is visibly red to the naked eye.
A heart couldn't stop beating faster.
Zheng Fangrui pursed her seductive red lips lightly, full of thoughts.
When did I hear such a shameful name from my own master?
This has always been the exclusive property of a few ladies.
And the important thing is that this was said when Jiang Ning was drunk.
As the saying goes, spit out the truth after drinking......
Thinking of this, Zheng Fangrui's face turned even redder, and she was a little overwhelmed when she stood there.
She couldn't help lowering her voice, and said unprecedentedly:
"Master, you can get up. Otherwise, if the lady knows, she will definitely blame the slave and maid for not taking good care of the master. ”
"Yun'er is not such a person."
Jiang Ning still struggled to get up in the end.
It's just that at this time, his body was already soft, and he just got up and fell down again.
Seeing this, Zheng Fangrui had to help him lie down, squat down and take off his boots for him.
"I'll do this myself."
Jiang Ning straightened up.
If you want to help put on a dress or something, that's it.
But take off your boots, don't let the delicate little lady do it.
"It's okay lord, serving the lord is what a slave should do."
Zheng Fangrui's movements did not stop,
And this also caused Jiang Ning's outstretched hand to directly touch her white and tender soft wattle.
Zheng Fangrui quickly retracted her hand, and her pretty face, which had just recovered for a while, turned red again.
Jiang Ning was also a little embarrassed and stumbled.
Seeing his funny appearance, Zheng Fangrui covered her mouth and laughed a few times, and picked up the soup bowl again:
"Now that the master is up, let's drink the medicine."
Jiang Ning nodded helplessly, and drank the medicine with the smell of the sky.
Zheng Fangrui smiled and said, "Then the master is lying down now, and the slave maid will give the master acupuncture." ”
"Hmm."
Jiang Ning answered, lay on the bed again, took off his robe, and pulled it down as usual, revealing half of his ass.
It's just that Zheng Fangrui has already seen a lot of this scene, and she has lost her initial shyness and strangeness in her heart.
Twisted the silver needle, and concentrated on acupuncture for him.
While applying the needle, Zheng Fangrui remembered something and said coquettishly:
"Master, Zhang Qianhu is already here, waiting for you to summon him.
It's just that the slave thinks that we have been on the road for so long, and you are very tired, and you need to rest for the night.
The slave told Zhang Qianhu and asked him to come back to see you tomorrow. ”
"What? No way! So I called him over, and I asked him about something. ”
Jiang Ning said eagerly.
A month ago, Zhang He was sent by him to investigate the situation in Jiangnan first, and I don't know how the investigation is now.
As soon as he thought of these important things, he had no intention of continuing acupuncture, and he couldn't wait to meet people.
Zheng Fangrui still persuaded: "Master, it is most important to rest first"
"Hey, sir, I'm going to see him now."
Jiang Ning was anxious and was about to get up suddenly.
It's just that Zheng Fangrui was pricking the needle, and when he moved like this, he made her hand tremble, and the silver needle was crooked, and it was actually pricked with blood.
And Jiang Ning didn't seem to feel it, and still didn't want to get up honestly.
This made Zheng Fangrui angry.
It is important to know that when the doctor is healing, it is best not to be interrupted by interference in the middle of the treatment.
With a sudden, the temper of the official lady in the past came up, stretched out her wrist, and came when she landed on Jiang Ning's buttocks.
Make a crisp sound.
Instantly, the room fell silent, and the pins could be heard.
Jiang Ning and Zheng Fangrui stared at each other, but they were silent.
After a long time, Zheng Fangrui realized how serious her behavior was, and hurriedly knelt down and said:
"The slave and maid have no form, they collided with the master, and asked the master to punish them."
"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay, sir, I'm rough and thick-skinned, it's nothing."
Jiang Ning couldn't really bother with her because of this little thing.
Hearing this, Zheng Fangrui breathed a sigh of relief and got up again to give him acupuncture.
It's just that this time I'm embarrassed to ask him to rest.
After the acupuncture was over, Jiang Ning got up from the bed: "Go and call Zhang He." ”
Zheng Fangrui nodded in response, and Lianbu walked out of the door lightly.
After a while, Zhang He walked in.
"My subordinates have seen my lord.
The menstrual period is gone, and the complexion of the adults is better. ”
"How can you be a sycophant.
Have a seat. ”
Jiang Ning beckoned him to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.
"Tell me how it went."
Zhang He has been investigating and secretly visiting for the past month, and he is already familiar with the situation of the investigation, and immediately said:
After the subordinates came to Jiangnan, they scattered people to find out the news, and now the intelligence network is in its infancy, and many situations have been clarified.
The first was Ding Chang, who was responsible for collecting customs duties and supervising the army Qiantang Wei.
On every main road and along the canal, he sent people to set up checkpoints to collect taxes, and there were many accounts, so many small merchants and small shops were overwhelmed and went bankrupt.
However, I am afraid that this matter has been acquiesced by the imperial court, and it is difficult to use it as evidence of the crime. ”
Jiang Ning nodded.
The collection of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes is everywhere, and the repeated prohibitions do not stop, so the court simply turns a blind eye.
"Go on."
"Yes. In addition, the Qiantang guard imprisoned by Ding Chang was extremely seriously paid.
Generals and officials are exploited at all levels, and the establishment of 5,600 people is obviously only about 2,000 old and weak.
The garrison is even more lax, and it is difficult to have combat effectiveness. ”
A cold color flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes: "Go on." ”
"Next, Wu Kaishan, who supervises weaving......"
Zhang Hezhi spoke for more than half an hour before it was over.
In his words, although Wu Kaishan and He Ran had exploited them, they were not as powerful as Ding Chang, and even gave ordinary people a way to live to a certain extent.
Even, He Ran often gives porridge and cloth in disaster years, and is widely known among the people.
These two people, Jiang Ning felt that he could let go of the horse for the time being.
"In this way, you first take someone to monitor Ding Chang, and after preparing the evidence, take it down in one fell swoop!"
"Subordinates obey."
Zhang He immediately took the order and left.
Jiang Ning took a sip of the tea that had already cooled, and his face was full of coldness.
Following.
The gentry and wealthy businessmen who got the news of Qincha's arrival in Hangzhou came to visit Jiangning one after another.
And since it is a visit, naturally it cannot come empty-handed.
One by two, all of them asked the housekeeper to carry boxes of things.
Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, that's everything.
Jiang Ning did not refuse to come, and it can be said that he received as much as he wanted.
Because he needs to pretend to be a villain who is greedy for money and profit to paralyze He Ran and the others, so that it is convenient to secretly attack.
Jiang Ning conveyed her meaning to Zheng Fangrui, and asked her to sit aside and keep accounts.
And the people who came to visit were not stupid, they knew what kind of gold content was the only maid around Jiang Ning.
After giving the gift, he didn't look at it anymore and hurriedly retreated.
After a while, Zheng Fangrui rubbed her wrist, which was a little sore, and suddenly saw several bright figures.
I saw a middle-aged salt merchant leading four delicate and timid Jiangnan beauties into the room.
It's all cute and cute, and it's hard to find.
