Chapter 43 Superintendent
"What do you mean? You are hiding here and eavesdropping. Who knows what you want to do? If you are really innocent, then stay in Jiao Mansion for one night and wait until the grudge between us and Min Zihua is resolved. You can go wherever you want.
Where to go!"
Jiao Waner's words were also very sharp, which immediately made Wen Qingqing's pretty face turn red.
"you……"
Wen Qingqing's heart was boiling with anger. She usually used her sharp tongue to ridicule others, but she didn't expect that she finally met her opponent today.
Moreover, this time it was indeed the opponent who was in charge, and his strength was even stronger than theirs.
If she wants to mess around, the other party will not fall for her tricks like Yuan Chengzhi, and it will be embarrassing when the time comes.
Feng Yuan glanced at her lightly, his expression calm.
His eyes are sharp, and he can naturally see through the disguise to see the other person's true appearance.
Wen Qingqing's appearance is slightly better than Jiao Waner's, and she is indeed a top beauty.
But she lost her father when she was young and grew up in the Shiliang sect, a den of thieves. She has a very extreme personality. She is also a jealous person who can easily lose her temper. No matter how beautiful she is, it is difficult for people to like her.
I am afraid that only people like Yuan Chengzhi can tolerate all the shortcomings of Wen Qingqing.
"Young brother, stop talking! Since Mr. Zhu asked us to be witnesses here, we will stay here for one day!"
Yuan Chengzhi took Wen Qingqing's hand and shook it gently, telling him not to say too much.
He secretly thought in his heart that since the other party defeated the second senior brother in the competition, he must be a strong opponent, and there are so many people from the Golden Dragon Gang beside him.
If he really took action, he had no confidence in taking Wen Qingqing out.
Since you're not sure, just stay the same in the face of changes. Stay here for one day according to the other party's wishes.
Anyway, tomorrow, Sun Zhongjun and the others will follow Min Zihua to attend the meeting. By then, he will mediate and ensure the safety of these three Huashan sect disciples.
Wen Qingqing's face still looked a little bad, but Yuan Chengzhi had already spoken, and she could only obey.
…
There was nothing to say all night, and soon it was early morning the next day.
When Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing came out in the morning, they saw many disciples of the Golden Dragon Gang and began to prepare several sumptuous banquets in Jiao Mansion.
The Jinlong Gang has great wealth and power. This time they held a grand banquet, and the tables and chairs were all embroidered with gold and red.
There were fine porcelain chopsticks on the table, the dishes were extremely exquisite, and the dishes were prepared by famous Nanjing chefs. What was poured out of the wine pot was rouge-like aged Shaoxing wine.
"The Golden Dragon Gang is well prepared, but I don't know if there are swords under the table!"
Wen Qingqing snorted coldly, still feeling angry in her heart.
Yuan Chengzhi looked worried and did not echo out loud. Instead, he turned his ears to catch the voices of the Golden Dragon Gang disciples.
These disciples of the Golden Dragon Gang were full of confidence and were not worried at all about the upcoming arrival of Min Zihua and others.
In his words, he was talking about the various deeds of the young prince who arrived at the Golden Dragon Gang last night.
Only then did Yuan Chengzhi learn that the young prince Zhu Lunsheng had successively killed the eldest and the second among the five elders of the Wen family, and then went north to Shandong to conquer the evil tiger village and kill Sha Tianguang.
After learning about Feng Yuan's deeds, Yuan Chengzhi did not feel resentful because of his identity as the Ming vassal king.
After all, there are grievances and debts, and the person who originally ordered the execution of his father Yuan Chonghuan was Emperor Chongzhen and had nothing to do with Feng Yuan or other Ming vassal kings.
Zhu Lun Sheng, incarnated by Feng Yuan, is the direct grandson of King Zhou. King Zhou has been a vassal since the reign of Taizu. It has been passed down for more than ten generations for more than 200 years. Although he is said to be a vassal king, he has actually become a distant branch of the royal family.
The love of a gentleman will last five generations. Even if a family has a close relationship, the affection between them will fade after five generations.
Yuan Chengzhi would not take the grudge between himself and the emperor to others.
"I encountered something when I went out today. Those soldiers suddenly entered the city and sealed the city gates. They said they were searching for assassins. I don't know what happened!"
"I heard someone tell me about this when I went out. They said that Uncle Xincheng in the city was assassinated last night and his head was cut off. Now Jinling City is heavily guarded and there is a massive search to find the assassin's whereabouts!"
"I don't know which hero in the world actually dares to take action against Uncle Xincheng, who is in charge of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses!"
Not far away, while several Golden Dragon Gang disciples were preparing for a banquet, they whispered about the various news they had just heard from outside.
"Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong?"
Yuan Chengzhi was somewhat familiar with this name, and after a little thought, he knew the identity of the other party.
It is said that Xinchengbo was a confidant of Emperor Chongzhen. He was responsible for the admiral of more than 200,000 troops in Jinling and held a high position in Jiangnan.
In the future, King Chuang will definitely go south after pacifying the north. Maybe Zhao Zhilong is the general of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Now that Zhao Zhilong is suddenly killed, King Chuang will have one less enemy when he goes south.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yuan Chengzhi's face.
"Brother Yuan!"
At this time, Feng Yuan's voice came from not far away. Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing turned their heads and saw Feng Yuan copying the hands in the corridor, followed by only Gu Rujin.
"Master Zhu!" Yuan Chengzhi cupped his hands.
Feng Yuan stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture, and Yuan Chengzhi did not refuse and led Wen Qingqing to the verandah.
"I heard that Brother Yuan's late father was Governor Yuan, the governor of Jiliao back then. I wonder if that's true?" Feng Yuan asked.
When Yuan Chengzhi heard his father's name, his expression changed first. He glanced at Feng Yuan and found that the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, and then nodded.
"Yes, Governor Yuan is my father. I wonder if Mr. Zhu has any advice after saying this? Is it possible that he wants to take me to see the officials?"
Because of his father's hatred, Yuan Chengzhi also hated the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not have joined his disciples to seek refuge with King Chuang Li Zicheng.
Hearing Feng Yuan mention his father, he became wary.
"Brother Yuan was joking. When Governor Yuan was guarding Ji Liao, he failed to pacify Liaodong and achieved "pacification of Liao in five years", but he also relied on fortified cities and caused the Tatars to lose many troops! It was still a meritorious service to the court!"
Feng Yuan wanted to build a relationship with Yuan Chengzhi and use him to obtain thousands of officers and soldiers under the command of Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying, as well as more than two million taels of silver.
He had to hide his true opinion of Yuan Chonghuan and deliberately praised his father in front of Yuan Chengzhi.
Regarding Yuan Chonghuan, Feng Yuan had a rough impression in his mind based on the evaluation of him by later generations.
Some people say that Yuan Chonghuan is a mediocre person despite his great talent. Others say that Yuan Chonghuan is a rare good general in the late Ming Dynasty.
Some people even say that if Yuan Chonghuan had not died, it would be difficult for the Manchus to settle in the Central Plains, comparing him to Yue Fei who resisted the Jin Dynasty.
In Feng Yuan's view, Yuan Chonghuan was capable. In the poor era of the late Ming Dynasty, there were few who had the courage to fight against the Qing soldiers. At least they were much better than Liu Zeqing, Zuo Liangyu and the like.
