Chapter 95: Undercurrent (1)
On the city tower, Liu Feng stood on the railing, looking down at the distance. He didn't know when it started, but he felt that he liked the feeling of the earth being all under his feet.
After the Minshan bandits retreated, the great rivers and mountains of Tangyuan Mansion were officially included in Liu Feng's control, and the next step was to take time to digest them slowly.
As footsteps came, Xu Tu walked up from below with a team of Jinyiwei. He bowed to Liu Feng and said, "Master, Jinyiwei has cleared the places around the government office. Please go back to the palace to rest."
Despite working for a long time, Xu Tu was still energetic. With the help of hundreds of households, two thousand factory guards were forced to obey orders. This was a must-have.
"Um."
Liu Feng turned around, walked down the city under the escort of a large group of Jinyiwei, and then sat in a prepared carriage. As soon as he sat on the cushion, he immediately felt a deep feeling of fatigue, and his eyelids seemed to be pressing against two mountains.
After all, since he entered the city last night, he has been tense of his spirits and has not even taken a sip of water. Not only does he feel tired, but his stomach is also hungry.
As the prefecture of Tangyuan Prefecture, Yecheng has a considerable area. It took almost half an hour for a carriage to arrive from the North City to the prefecture.
“Lord, here.”
After the carriage stopped, Xu Tu's voice came in. The sleepy Liu Feng raised his eyelids, rubbed his face with his hands, and walked out.
On both sides of the gate of the government office were two rows of Jinyiwei with straight figures holding the handle of the knife. When they saw Liu Feng coming out of the carriage, they immediately knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to the Lord!"
"Get up."
Liu Feng raised his hand and walked into it. At this time, many secret guards had already been set up in the government office. Teams of Jinyiwei patroled back and forth, and it could be said that even a fly could not fly in.
After eating some simple things, Liu Feng had just lie down and fell asleep.
Just when he was sleeping in a dark place, there was an undercurrent in some parts of Yecheng.
Zhou Mansion.
The Zhou family is one of the best Zhongming Ding Food House in Tangyuan Mansion. Their ancestors were originally a grain shop. Once, the northern potatoes were harvested well, and a large number of potatoes poured into the market, causing prices to drop. He took the opportunity to buy and save a batch of potatoes. Unexpectedly, the next year, the potatoes were not collected and the price rose. So he sold the potatoes, making a lot of profits, and earned his first pot of gold in his life.
Then he quit his job as a grain shop, bought a small second-hand cargo ship, and started the business of transporting grain. He gradually expanded the business. After hundreds of years of development, the Zhou family grew up and developed in both the officialdom and the shopping mall. Although he had never produced any high-ranking officials, he also became the largest gentry family in the Tangyuan Mansion.
In the study, Zhou Gui picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said to the butler beside him: "How about it, have you sent the message to you?"
"Master, I've given it as you wish, but the other party asked us to wait."
"Well, I get it, you go down."
Zhou Gui waved his hand.
At this moment, a young man in white brocade clothes hurried in, "Dad, do you want to give Ziyan to that Liu Zhe? No, I don't agree!"
Zhou Gui looked at his irritable son in front of him and frowned, "Who told you about this? And when is it your turn to decide on the family matters? Just a dancer will give it to him, what's the big deal?"
This woman named Zi Yan was bought from Yashang when he went to the south to do business five years ago. This woman has been so beautiful since she was a child. She has been in the mansion for five years and has been more exquisite and charming. She can be called a disaster to the country and the people.
"No, if you like to send to other dancers, she won't do it."
The young man looked at Zhou Gui with a stubborn face. Since he first saw Zi Yan, he had become deeply fascinated by her and even planned to marry her as a real wife. However, he didn't expect that before he could make this request to his father, he heard the news that his father wanted to give her away.
"It's not your final decision whether it's OK. For the Zhou family, Zi Yan must be sent out. There is no discussion on this matter."
When he was old, Zhou Gui had always loved his son very much and naturally knew his thoughts. If it were other dancers in the mansion, he would agree without saying a word, but it was Zi Yan.
On a whim, he bought the woman from the tooth shop, and on his way back he met a Taoist. The Taoist said that this woman's fate is a phoenix life and is extremely precious. Unless he meets the true dragon emperor, ordinary people will not be blessed to receive it.
It is because of this Taoist criticism that Zhou Gui treated Zi Yan very well over the years. Not only did he ask someone to teach her how to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, and music, but he was treated in the mansion no worse than those ladies.
"Dad, I beg you."
The young man knelt down directly.
"You, why are you doing this? I have told you that this woman's fate is not in line with you, and if she is forced to be together, she will not have a good result."
Zhou Gui said with great thought.
"Dad, those Taoist words are not trustworthy at all. He just wants to cheat you of money."
"Hmph, it's better to believe that this kind of thing that concerns the Zhou family's incense than to believe that it doesn't. Just give up your heart. It's impossible for you to come and take the young master down. Without my permission, he won't be allowed to go out for half a step!"
Although Zhou Gui was half-believing and half-doubted about the Taoist's criticism back then, in this situation, presenting this woman with the Fengxian fate to Liu Zhe is the best way to protect the Zhou family.
The two servants guarding the door responded and walked in, standing next to the young man on the left and right, "Young Master, please go back to the room."
"Get out of here, dad, are you sure you want to do this?"
The young man stood up and begged.
"Yes, no one can change my decision."
Zhou Gui turned the railway decisively.
"I see."
The young man responded with a lonely face and walked out.
"You guys follow me quickly, watch out, don't let him do stupid things."
Zhou Gui hurriedly urged the two servants.
"Yes, Master."
The two hurriedly chased after them.
After the young man left Zhou Gui's study, he went straight back to his room. After half a day of service, a cold voice suddenly appeared, "How is it? Am I right?"
A woman dressed as a maid flashed out of the corner. He looked at the lost young man and continued, "Do you want to save your Ziyan girl?"
Hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up, and he turned around and asked anxiously: "What are you doing?"
"Of course there is a way, but you need your help."
"How do you want to help, just say it!"
The young man said quickly.
"It's very simple. If you arrange for me to be Zi Yan's personal maid, I will naturally bring Zi Yan back to you in full."
