When Xiao Jing rushed to Zhang Zhou's house after hearing the news, Chen Rui was being carried out of Zhang's house.
"How could it be like this?"
After hearing the news, Xiao Jing asked the Chen family and his entourage who were carrying Chen Rui out.
The old man said sadly, "My master drank too much."
Xiao Jing wanted to give Chen Rui a warning, but found that Chen Rui was as drunk as a dead pig. .
Xiao Jing waved his hands, meaning to carry the person away quickly and not to be embarrassed here, and then Xiao Jing entered the courtyard.
"Mr. Zhang"
When Xiao Jing saw Zhang Zhou, he found that Zhang Zhou was sitting at a wine table in the main hall. On the wine table were peanuts, pickles, etc. To accompany the food and drinks, there were several empty wine jars standing next to them.
Zhang Zhou was holding several pieces of paper in his hand and was looking through them one by one, looking very satisfied, as if he was counting money.
Wang Mingshan, who was behind Zhang Zhou, looked at Xiao Jing with vigilant eyes.
Probably because he was afraid that Xiao Jing was here to grab something.
"Didn't Eunuch Xiao say that he didn't have time to come here?" Zhang Zhou smiled and stood up to greet him.
"I heard that Uncle Ping Jiang came here empty-handed. We thought he didn't know how to do things, so we specially wanted to come over and remind him."
As Xiao Jing said, he was still looking at Zhang Zhou. paper in hand.
At a rough glance, it seems to be something like a house deed or an IOU.
Zhang Zhou smiled and asked Xiao Jing to sit down and said, "Uncle Ping Jiang is still very hospitable. He brought his own wine and brought it here specially, saying that he would get drunk before resting, but he didn't drink a few bottles. , when he was drunk, he said he wanted to give me something, made a list, signed and signed it."
"You"
Xiao Jing then realized that Zhang Zhou What was in his hand was a gift from Chen Rui.
"I have never heard of it. What did he give me?"
Xiao Jing became more and more curious.
Zhang Zhou said, "He heard that it was very inconvenient for me to travel. He said that he got a great horse in the Western Regions that can travel thousands of miles. I don't know if he was bragging. Anyway, he said that he would send me Lala." Carriage."
"Dawan Liangju pulls the carriage." Xiao Jing smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "It seems he still has intentions."
Suddenly Xiao Jing realized that Zhang Zhou had so much in his hands. "IOU", he should not only have received a good horse, but also other things.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "This one is said to be a beauty he found in the Western Regions. She has a graceful figure, a light dancing posture, and a clear voice. She was given to him by the King of Turpan when he was in Yansui. He said she has a good horse." When you give a good horse to a hero, you should also carry a beautiful woman on it. When you send a good horse, bring it to me."
"This"
When Xiao Jing heard this, he couldn't help but give it to me. Look at Zhang Zhou with narrow eyes.
Aren’t you curious about this tune?
Chen Rui gave it to you, it’s just right for you
This time Zhang Zhou didn’t hide it. The remaining "IOUs" were shown to Xiao Jing. "I said that I have a wife and children at home, so it is not convenient to accept beauties. He said that there is another mansion in the capital that was just renovated last year and he gave it to me as well.The third time I entered the hospital, the place was a bit off, but it was just the right place for me to hide my beauty in a golden room. I said that she had nothing to hide from a beautiful woman, and he answered that Wang Weining had given me a granddaughter. He also had a daughter who was newly widowed, and he wanted to give it to me as well. "
"Ah" Xiao Jing was shocked, "You want this, the new widow. ”
“Of course I didn’t want it, but he insisted on giving it. He got drunk and said that I looked down on him if I didn’t accept it. He said that he didn’t want any status, and he just wanted to be a waitress for me, carrying a chamber pot and serving food. There is a footbath or something, and he said that there is no need to keep it at home. If you keep it in another house, you have to sign a deed of betrayal, so there is no way to stop it."
""
Xiao Jing thought to himself. The new level of receiving gifts is eye-opening.
This is the Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui he knows.
Zhang Zhou is so unprincipled. He continued, "He also said that he would send me two thousand taels of silver with the house to buy furniture and renovate bricks. I said I would not accept the money. Li Guang must not forget the lessons he learned from his mistakes. He then asked me how many houses I had in Jingtian. I said I only had a house but no land. He said that he had 200 hectares of fertile land near the capital, and he usually had tenants renting crops. You just established a note for me without any proof."
Xiao Jing swallowed and said, "Mr. Zhang, it doesn't sound like you are accepting a gift. It seems that you want to bankrupt him."
Xiao Jingxin said, our family has figured it out.
You are taking advantage of him to get drunk and talk nonsense, and gradually emptied his family fortune.
In terms of means, Zhang Zhou is still smart.
Zhang Zhou asked curiously, "Is this the only thing he has at home? I asked him for it. His Majesty explicitly told me not to be polite. I am already very polite. Then." Shouldn't he also accept the two thousand taels of silver?"
"You can accept as much as you want, as long as he is willing to give it, but"
Xiao Jing There was hesitation.
Zhang Zhou said, "It's just because this is what he promised me recently. He will default on it later, right? He also said that he would give me twelve servants and give them to the house. In addition, He also has a small rice shop in the city, which is usually not taken care of by anyone, so he said he would give it to me as well. Eunuch Xiao, if he wakes up and still wants to send it, then should I accept it or not?"
"Hiss"
Xiao Jing took a breath.
He looked over with a look like "If you exploited Chen all at once, how will I exploit him in the future?"
Xiao Jing said, "How about we help you ask for your Majesty's instructions?"
"There's work, there's work"
Zhang Zhou smiled and gave Xiao Jing a bunch of IOUs.
It means, this is all what I got from asking for bribes, since you. I want to ask for instructions, but it's useless. You'd better show it to His Majesty and take it back to me.
Give me the rest.
Chen Rui, it’s up to you how to deal with it.
In Qianqing Palace,
Xiao Jing finished the matter with his head down, except for Zhu Youtang. Check Chen Rui’s call to Zhang ZhouDai Yi, Chen Kuan and Wei Bin were all snickering secretly at the various IOUs. Wei Bin couldn't help but almost laughed out loud and covered his mouth to hold back.
Zhu Youtang didn’t think this was so ridiculous. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Jing, frowning and said, “What does Mr. Ping Jiang mean by this?”
Xiao Jing hesitated and said, “Your Majesty, in this way I want to think about it, Ping Jiangbo originally looked down on Mr. Zhang. He felt that Mr. Zhang helped Wang Weining achieve today's results, so he regarded Mr. Zhang as an alien in his heart, so he didn't even bring any decent gifts when he went, just I brought a wine pot and a heater for hot wine."
Xiao Jing no longer cares about Chen Rui.
Chen, you were not so generous when you gave our family gifts. Now that you are almost squeezed out by Zhang Zhou, we can still wipe your butt in front of His Majesty
"This It's called ignorance," Zhu Youtang said angrily, "He is in the situation he is in today, and it is his own fault. What does Bingkuan have to do with it?"
Xiao Jing continued, "Maybe Mr. Zhang mentioned that he was too drunk, Pingjiang In order to allow Mr. Zhang to recommend him in front of His Majesty, Bo asked someone to bring some jars of wine from his house, saying that he would get drunk before resting. As a result, he got drunk first, and then..."
The implication is, Your Majesty, you know the following things.
Chen Rui thinks he is a drunkard, and he wants to make Zhang Zhou lie down on the wine table and make Zhang Zhou submissive. He only needs paper and pen. The purpose is to make Zhang Zhou promise to recommend and sign.
The result is good, fold yourself in.
Dai Yi tentatively said, "Your Majesty, do you think Uncle Ping Jiang was too embarrassed to break the previous barrier and deliberately got drunk to take this opportunity to give Mr. Zhang a gift so that he can advance and retreat in a controlled manner?"
"How to say" Zhu Youtang said.
Dai Yidao said, "If Mr. Zhang didn't help him afterwards, he could just say that he was drunk and coerced into writing these things and refuse to admit it. Even after Mr. Zhang helped him, You can still deny it."
Zhu Youtang frowned and said, "He doesn't have such a strategy on the battlefield, but he uses all his little thoughts to calculate his own people and wants to help him restore his reputation. It seems that he is. If I believe it wrong, he should be disgraced and never recover."
Dai Yi heard this.
I just analyzed it, and Your Majesty decided not to help this old boy
"Your Majesty, the old slave just said it casually, or it may not be what Ping Jiangbo had in mind. I am too talkative. ." Dai Yi quickly denied what he said before.
Zhu Youtang asked Xiao Jing, "Does Bingkuan think this person is still available?"
"This"
Xiao Jing was confused by the question for a moment.
When I left just now, I was thinking that Zhang Zhou’s method of extorting bribes was unheard of, so how could I have time to ask Zhang Zhou whether Chen Keke could be used?
But thinking about it, His Majesty was originally interested in using it. Chen Rui was still quite confident, but seeing that Chen Rui was beating around the bush, drinking, and issuing an IOU to give a gift, he probably should have been frightened, wondering if this person could still be used for his own purposes.
If notWhen he is "one of his own" and there are so many nobles, why does the emperor want to hold on to Chen Rui alone and not let others go? Isn't it better?
"If Bingkuan is careless and dares to deceive him like this, the case must have been settled long ago." , he came to report to me without asking clearly. If Bingkuan helped him, he would not say that he had established a solid document for these things. Even if he did not, he just said it, so he should honor it and take it. Ask clearly before talking."
Xiao Jing understood now.
The emperor didn't care what kind of gift Zhang Zhou received from Chen Rui, or as the emperor said before, this was a way to win over Chen Rui.
But Xiao Jing felt that Zhang Zhou was doing something wrong by showing it to the emperor.
Pingjiang Bofu.
When Chen Rui woke up, it was more than two hours later.
"Master" the old man looked at him with a bitter look on his face.
Chen Rui said, "Oh, why are you not here to visit Master Zhang?"
"Master, you are drunk. When you were drunk, you even moved our house to a house and two houses." Hundreds of hectares of land, your Dawan horse, and even Miss Six are all given to you"
"What's wrong"
"I promised to go out, and signed a deed, saying I'm going to send all the houses and people over later. I'm afraid you won't remember, so I've asked someone to make a list. You can take a look at it."
As he said this, the elder gave him what he promised. The list of things was given to Chen Rui.
There is a woman standing at the door. She is Chen Rui's daughter. She heard that she was "sold" by her father just after returning to Chen's house, so she came to ask for details.
"Let's go, let's go"
Chen Rui drove a group of servants out.
Just as he was talking, someone came in from the other side and announced, "Sir, Eunuch Xiao, the admiral of the East Factory, is here."
"Please come quickly"
Chen Rui may not take Zhang Zhou seriously, but he compliments Xiao Jing in every possible way.
Zhang Zhou was at best an "imperial envoy" who was favored temporarily, while Xiao Jing was the permanent "governor".
When he saw Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing came up and gave him a slap in the face, "Your Majesty said that you, Mr. Chen, don't usually focus on military affairs, but you are careful about people in the court. It's quite a lot."
Chen Rui knelt down and said, "I obey your Majesty's instructions."
"It doesn't have to be like this, Uncle Ping Jiang, we are just here to pass on a message. "The things promised to be delivered cannot be ignored."
"In addition to the two thousand taels of silver you mentioned earlier, they were also carried and placed in the house. Mr. Zhang mentioned that he doesn’t want your things, but this is His Majesty’s order, so he can’t accept it.”
“As a compromise, you can send all the people and property in, lock the door, and take the key.” You can leave it here at our house first. When you have achieved great success in Liaodong, you will personally deliver the key to Mr. Zhang and respectfully apologize to Mr. Zhang."
"As long as you are sincere, To the satisfaction of both Your Majesty and Mr. Zhang, this matter will be treated as if it has been revealed." Please keep it in your collection. The latest and fastest website is free from theft.Free reading
