Chapter Nine and Thirty
It was not until Wang Fulin returned home in the evening that he heard from Liu Bo that the two leaders of the Jinyiwei North Fushi Department sent Chen Liang. Liu Shouyou was furious about his identity "leakage" and he just smiled and didn't take it too seriously.
After all, he knew from the beginning that Zhang Hong was a smart person and would never reveal his true relationship with him to outsiders; Tian Yi was also very cautious and would keep silent about helping the emperor recruit him, so he would definitely not be well-known to everyone; however, a person like Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun, who had been educated at the highest since childhood, might not keep him secret.
Maybe he will also promote his allegiance to those who need to be won, and use it as a bargaining chip to show off. This is the mentality of most emperors. They do not have a lifetime favorite minister. They can only use it if it is easy to use, throw it if it is not easy to use, or even throw it away if it is used up directly.
Therefore, after nodding, he said to Liu Bo: "Tell me the message to Chen Liang and at all costs, let him bribe the people around Liu Shouyou for me if they can. If they can't bribe, they can threaten them with the handle. In short, even if Liu Shouyou has someone, he has to follow others behind him. When he is not alone, I have to know his every move!"
Liu Bo immediately smiled. He was also from the old man from the Zhejiang Army back then. When he was in the army, he always thought that the Jinyiwei was quite mysterious. What's more, even the Governor of Zhejiang Zhi, who was once threatening to the southeast, was eventually escorted back to Beijing by the Jinyiwei, and he would inevitably be in awe. But now, there are three Jinyiweis who have beaten the stick in his hand, all of which are from the most mysterious Beizhen Fushi, from the small banner of Chen Liang, to the hundred households of Guo Bao, and then to the thousand households of Liu Baichuan, it can be said that if he could do this to Liu Shouyou in accordance with the same way, even if he gets old in the future, he will have something very proud of.
"Don't worry, young master, I'll go back and do it."
"You go to the account room and say to Wang Siming, the amount is less than 5,000 taels. If I or the young lady are not here, I will make an advance payment directly and it doesn't matter if I report it later."
"Young master is so generous." Liu Bo nodded with a smile and said, "If I had known this, I would have just transferred a few more people from Nanjing!" He also let them taste the feeling of pressing the Jinyiwei!
"Just let it be. It's a risky thing to hang your head on the waist of your pants. I'm taking the lead. You guys are so brave that others can't let it go. As for spending money, good steel is used on the blade. Don't you be afraid of spending money at critical moments. Like Liu Shouyou's whereabouts today, Liu Baichuan and Guo Bao didn't keep an eye on it? This is absolutely not possible. Liu Shouyou's Jinyiwei's strength is extraordinary. If he notices something or takes the lead, many plans may have many variables..."
Wang Fulin was instructing Liu Bo, but suddenly Feng Zhong's voice came from outside: "Young Master, the waiter from the door came to report that this time, Mr. Zhang San and Mr. Zhang came to visit."
After saying that, the voice paused, and then Feng Zhong coughed dryly, "Ming Xiaoer said, "You'd better not hesitate, hurry up and take a look first. That scene is really not suitable for being placed at the door for too long."
Wang Fulin felt inexplicably, but when he heard footsteps outside the door hurried away, as if Feng Zhong had actually gone to watch the fun. Then he touched his chin thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Zhang San, who is famous, brought me a surprise. Let's go and watch the fun too!"
With a lord like Wang Fulin, Liu Bo has always felt that he never seemed to be a lackey. He did not want to be brothers from all over the country, but Wang Fulin regarded him as his own trust and often spoke with you and me. Our words often came out naturally, making him feel extremely friendly. Not to mention that he had a difficult life back then, he has finally married a wife and lived a very comfortable life. Therefore, when he walked out of the study behind Wang Fulin, his waist was straight, which was even more confident and proud than when he was with Hu Zongxian. It would not be like going to watch the fun, but more like going to fight with others!
When Wang Fulin came to the gate, he realized why Feng Zhong ran away in a hurry after circulating a sentence, and why Ming Xiaoer asked Feng Zhong to send a message that the scene was not suitable for being placed at the gate for too long.
Because in this cold and cold weather, Zhang Taizheng was kneeling at the door with his upper body naked and his thorns on his back. The picture was so beautiful that it made people unable to help but take a few more glances! If it weren't for the fact that Chengjia Hutong had never been a place for people to come and go, he had never received much reputation for accepting requests. Otherwise, if this scene was spread throughout the capital, Zhang Taizheng would not have thought about being a human being in the future... Of course, as long as he did not issue a ban order to his family and had a few mouths to show it out, Zhang Taizheng would not want to be a human being. Even for Zhang Siwei, this was a big blow.
The hatred between him and Zhang Siwei can be traced back to the time when he had just become the third-class Chuanlu, and many people in the capital knew about it. Even if he said he wanted to ask Zhang Siwei for justice because of Wang Daokun's echo, Zhang Siwei directly asked his eldest son to come to apologize. This attitude was not dissatisfied, but too sincere! What's more, Zhang Taizheng did not come alone today.
Wang Fulin glanced behind Zhang Taizheng and was standing in front of the carriage. He realized that this person was quite similar to Zhang Siwei. However, compared with Zhang Siwei's calmness after years of experience in officialdom, Zhang Siwei was a little more dashing and romantic. He looked like a middle-aged man who was only in his thirties and in his prime. However, whether it was the ruthless Zhang Sijie who was telling Liu Ying before, or the scene where Zhang Taizheng was carrying a thorn in his heart, he did not dare to underestimate the other party at all.
You know, Zhang Taizheng's kneeling was not just a personal shame, but to some extent, it means that the Zhang family in Puzhou was convinced by him!
Although Zhang Taizheng had cheated himself several times, since he had never suffered any loss, Wang Fulin felt that this guy was a tragic figure rather than hating the eldest son of the Zhang family. Therefore, after a moment of surprise and hesitation after leaving the house, he immediately walked forward with a smile, as if he was completely unhappy, and helped Zhang Taizheng up. Then he asked in confusion: "Brother Zhang, you are really a little sudden. Ling Zun and I have some small disputes because of different political views, but you are not him, so you don't need to apologize for your father, right?"
Zhang Sijiao studied Wang Fulin's past style of behavior. He always did not offend others. If someone offends me, I would offend others. There was absolutely no unnecessary kindness. Therefore, in his opinion, when Wang Fulin saw Zhang Taizheng who had plotted against him in the past, he should be sarcastic and exclaimed his heart. However, when he saw Wang Fulin's actions and heard this again, he finally realized that he had underestimated Wang Fulin.
This is not a magnanimity, but Wang Fulin looked down on Zhang Tai's apology at all. He didn't listen to him and directly put his hat on Zhang Siwei's head?
It was precisely because of this that when Zhang Taizheng struggled in vain for a few moments, he could not resist Wang Fulin's life-thrusting and squirming his lips at the face that was smiling, he couldn't say a beautiful word on the scene. Zhang Sijiao felt more and more disappointed and could only go forward and bow.
"Wang Zhangdao, in the Zhang family of Puzhou, Zhang Sijiao. Today, when my brother got up early to go to the cabinet, he specifically told me to explain it clearly to Wang Zhandao. After receiving the reply letter from Wang Sima of Songmingshan, my brother was shocked and angry. He checked it for several days and finally questioned Dalang. He then learned that it was a misfortune of his family. Dalang hated you because of his old grudges, so he wrote a letter to Huizhou in the name of his brother. When his brother heard about this, he almost fainted, so he ordered me to take Dalang to apologize. Such unworthy children are allowed to be dealt with by Wang Zhandao!"
With a smile, Wang Fulin could clearly feel that after Zhang Taizheng's stiff body trembled after hearing what Zhang Sijiao said. He sighed in his heart that the children of aristocratic families seemed to enjoy all kinds of wealth and wealth when they landed, but they still had to take responsibility, especially since the family did not provide endless protection. Once the family itself faced a crisis and made a big mistake, it would be nothing strange to be regarded as an abandoned child. Therefore, he glanced at Zhang Taizheng sideways, and saw that his lifeless face was full of despair, he laughed.
"It turns out that the incident was not Zhang Ge Lao, but Brother Zhang. I'm a little confused. But, if the past is over, I'm not that stingy. Anyway, the Wang family in Songmingshan did not open the ancestral hall to beat and kill me because of a letter from an outsider. So there is no need to mention dealing with Brother Zhang. Seeing that he has suffered a lot recently, even if he handed over the handkerchiefs of the two young ladies of the Shi family and Zhu Jing, I can't chase their cousins relentlessly. Mr. Zhang San, right? To be honest, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang San don't have to let him take the thorns and apologize for such an overwhelming manner."
Speaking of this, Wang Fulin didn't even look at Zhang Sijiao, whose face changed slightly. He stared at the real jingle sticks on Zhang Taizheng's back that had not removed the jingle sticks for a few more times, and then said to Liu Bo who was following him: "Go and find Mother Yan quickly and ask her to remove the jingle sticks carefully and pick it up by the way. I think Mr. Zhang San and Brother Zhang don't want to invite a doctor over here. Then the outside world is full of nonsense, right?"
When he was dealing with Wang Fulin head-on, Zhang Sijiao once again raised his evaluation of Wang Fulin to a higher level. He realized that Wang Fulin might have understood the purpose of their uncle and nephew, otherwise he would not have saved face like this for Zhang Taizheng, nor would he miss the great opportunity to invite doctors outside to watch this situation. Thinking that Feng Bao's Dongchang and Liu Shouyou's Jinyiwei were probably staring at this place, he could only bow and thank him again: "Wang's magnanimous way is really admirable. Dalang used to be ignorant and did not understand the principle of how to compete with Haoyue for the light of fireflies!"
In front of me, I kept attacking Zhang Taizheng. Is this the Zhang family in Puzhou completely abandoning Zhang Taizheng, the eldest grandson?
Wang Fulin's heart moved. After invited these two uninvited guests into the door, he did not continue to express his closeness to Zhang Taizheng, throwing the person to Liu Bo and Yan's mother who drove out. He asked the latter to untie the thorns and picking the thorns at the same time. That was because if Liu Bo's big men took action, Zhang Taizheng would definitely scream like a pig-killing sound. Looking back today, I don't know what it would turn into. If Yan's mother started to take action, the preparation would be much more appropriate. Even if Zhang Taizheng was to suffer a little, she would definitely block the kid's mouth first.
Therefore, Wang Fulin naturally turned his attention from Zhang Taizheng to Zhang Sijiao, and invited someone to the study room with a smile. When he was walking on the road, he chatted and laughed with the extraordinary Zhang Sijiao, but he thought maliciously, if Zhang Sijiao knew that he would throw a firefly like a rag to throw a rag after using it in the past, that is, Liu Ying was in his house, could he still maintain this graceful look?
Of course, he just knew that there would be no problem with Liu Ying from the expression of Yan's mother's slight nod. Yan's mother came out, but Xiao Bei was in charge of the inner house! Besides, he had also seen some humble women. It is rare for Liu Ying to have a certain plan. I think people will not go crazy casually.
Zhang Sijiao followed Wang Fulin into the outer study room, glanced at the walls, and found that the volume of books was more than he expected, and there were more than one rolling tanks that placed long scrolls and painted scrolls. If he hadn't had any complete inquiry about Wang Fulin's background, he knew that Wang Fulin's father Wang Daoyun was not enough to make a fortune, and Wang Fulin's real price started to clean up the mess, and his ancestor Yu Yin was not as good as that. He thought he had entered a study room of a scholarly family for generations. Therefore, after sitting down, when a follower came in to serve tea, he smiled and said, "Wang Zhangdao's study room is indeed full of books."
"It's all for the scene." Wang Fulin smiled relaxedly, "Most of these books were given to me by seniors and seniors. In addition to the late Duke Tan Xiangmin and Duke Chen Jiansu, there are Yin Situ who retired and returned home."
Isn’t it Tan Lun, Chen Zan, and Yin Zhengmao?
Zhang Sijiao recalled these three names in his heart, thinking that Tan Lun was Wang Daokun's friend and old boss, and Yin Zhengmao was Wang Daokun's fellow villager. But if it were only this kind of relationship, neither of them would necessarily look at Wang Fulin differently, just like Zhang Juzheng trusted and used Wang Fulin more than Wang Daokun. As for Chen Zan, let alone Chen Zan, it would be just a common exchange between his superiors and subordinates. However, when he was sick and retired, he would also give a lot of his treasured books to Wang Fulin, which was very rare for Chen Zan.
Therefore, even though he knew that Wang Fulin said this to him was to increase his psychological burden, Zhang Sijiao still had to say sincerely: "Wang Zhangdao, my brother, my uncle, Wang Sima, and you, had many misunderstandings... No, it should be said that it was a fight, but now my uncle has retired and his brother is old and sick. Therefore, by taking advantage of Dalang's responsibility to apologize, I hope to make aside my uncle and brother, and Wang Zhangdao have resolved his past grudges with him."
As soon as these words were said, even though Wang Fulin had been thinking about why Zhang Si Cult took Zhang Taizheng to do such a high attitude, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhang Siwei wants to talk to him? He has no problem with his ears, right? He heard it wrong? What a joke, even if he is willing to agree, can Zhang Siwei believe it?
