When they arrived at the "Changlefang" cockfighting ground, they had an affair with the Qin brothers. The guys said that the two young masters had been waiting for Wang Xun for a long time, and after leaving a letter, they hurried off to another place.
.
"Bring it to me!" Wang Xun took the letter from the clerk, checked the sealing seal, and slowly took out the letter. The handwriting on it was scrawled, and it was obvious that it was written in a hurry. In the letter
Qin Guozhen reminded him tactfully that the autumn cold has hit recently. He was advised not to go out as much as possible. It would be best if he could go to the farm by the Weishui River to inspect this year's harvest. If he couldn't get away for a while, he should not go out.
Wear more clothes to avoid frostbite on your hands and feet due to the autumn cold. The brothers discussed the specific situation privately after today's banquet. If Wang Xun cannot go to the banquet today, then after reading the letter, he will go to Qin's house tonight.
I brought back the mink cloak that I left there last time, so as not to waste money on buying a new one.
At the end of the letter, Qin Guozhen mentioned by the way that Mr. Qin already knew that Zida was in trouble in his business. He was trying to find ways to raise money to help him with the turnover. However, the Qin family has been relatively tight in terms of money recently, and it may be difficult to operate.
It's very slow, and it may be a drop in the bucket. I hope Wang Xun can understand.
"Sure enough, Aunt Yun guessed it right. Mr. Qin doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water!" Wang Xun couldn't help but sigh again as he put the letter down.
When he was reading the letter just now, Zhang Xun had been pulling Lei Wanchun to drink tea in the distance and refused to come closer to read the contents of the letter. When he heard him take the initiative to mention it, he immediately understood in his heart, smiled, and explained in a low voice:
"I'm afraid the uncle of the Qin family is too weak this time! The three of them, Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu, and Wang Zhi, are fighting each other. In the capital, everyone, both civil and military, wants to avoid you. Guo Mo and Guo Zhen are looking for you everywhere, risking their bosses.
It’s very rare!”
"Alas!" Wang Xun let out another sigh. Although he knew that Zhang Xun's words were reasonable, he was still unwilling to do so.
Lei Wanchun couldn't stand the way he complained about others when he encountered some trouble. He smiled and said loudly: "According to me, it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. Didn't Yuwen boy tell you that he hid an account book? Chicken
Where is the cage? I'll go find the account book!"
"Brother Lei, come with me!" Wang Xun nodded lightly and responded helplessly. At this moment, the three of them were already in the study room reserved for the owner in the backyard of the cockfighting ground. They left the door and walked along the path in the garden.
Water Pavilion, then turned left and came to the building where the "generals" are usually kept. Wang Xun dismissed the waiter who was serving the cockfighting. Referring to Yu Wenzhi's previous description, he reached out to the designated position and touched it. Sure enough, from the cockpit on the pavilion, Wang Xun
Under the straw in the cage, he took out a thick notebook wrapped in oilcloth.
The three people put away the account books and quickly returned to the study. After closing the doors and windows, they looked carefully. They saw that starting from more than half a year ago, all the money and "business" transactions between Yu Wenzhi and Zhu Ji's shopkeeper Zhu Fu, including the parties concerned, were recorded.
The names and original words were all recorded clearly. There were several times when Wang Xun always thought that the cause of the drunken drunkenness and immorality of the group was the collision with the official's car. In fact, it was Zhu Fu who had joined the Yang family through Yu Wenzhi and several others.
The dandy secretly and deliberately promoted it. He took advantage of the mentality of those officials who did not have the guts to be enemies of more than a dozen noble families at the same time, and vented his anger on Yang Guozhong.
Seeing this, Zhang Xun couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that Yang Guozhong, as a high-ranking official of the imperial court and a relative of the emperor, still couldn't get rid of the habits of market scoundrels in his work style. Conflicts that could have been resolved in court discussions were not.
He was willing to deal with it openly, but instead he went to the dark side and used dirty methods to deal with it. What he didn't expect was that Yu Wenzhi had such scheming at a young age, as if he had already expected that if something happened to everyone, the Yang family would
You will definitely abandon your soldiers to save your commander. So leave an account book in advance to give yourself a chance of survival.
"What are you sighing for? With this account book, boy Yuwen has at least 50% more chance of escaping!" Lei Wanchun glared at him again with big eyes like bells and said angrily.
"The question is, what can we do to get this account book out in the open?" Zhang Xun suppressed his disgust for Yuwen Zida and responded in a low voice. Since he promised Ma Fang yesterday, he must find ways to save Yuwen Zida from danger.
He must fulfill his promise. Even thinking about Yuwen Zida's behavior and scheming at this moment, his chest feels tight.
Although he was angry that Yu Wenzhi had done so many shady things without telling him, Wang Xun still couldn't bear to watch his good friend die in the prison of Wannian County. He shook his head, got rid of all the unhappiness in his heart, and whispered:
"Yu Wenzhi has a half-brother who seems to be very close to Yang Guozhong..."
"No!" Before he could finish his words, Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun stopped him at the same time. They looked at each other, and Lei Wanchun took the initiative to shut up. Zhang Xun continued to explain: "Since Yu Wende has decisively drawn a clear line with his brother,
It’s clear that Zida is going to take the blame. If the account book is delivered to him, I can guarantee that Zida will be silenced within three days!”
Wang Xun also understood that he had come up with a bad idea, and he nodded angrily with a livid face. Seeing his depressed look, Zhang Xun smiled again and comforted him: "Actually, even if we don't do anything at this moment, Zida may not be able to do anything."
What are the risks? Didn’t the head catcher surnamed Sun say that several people taken to Dali Temple have already confessed. In my opinion, the reason why this kind of fight between gods and rotten fish and shrimps was first affected is just to get rid of
Come out as a reason. Now that the reason has been found, one more Yuwen Zida may not be more, and one less him may not be less!"
"Then we can't let Mr. Yuwen continue to suffer in prison. Although he does deserve it!" Lei Wanchun shook his head, somewhat hating that iron cannot become steel. If he hadn't already had friendship with Wang Xun and others, he would have encountered someone like today.
He might applaud Jing Zhaoyin's actions. After all, the playboys in the capital have long been notorious, and anyone who had conflicts with them would almost always cover their noses with their hands when they mentioned it.
"I'm just saying that he won't die for a while!" Zhang Xun waved his hand, signaling Lei Wanchun and Wang Xun to calm down. "If you want to fundamentally solve this matter, the best solution is
I contacted several of my fellow Jinshi scholars at that time and jointly submitted a letter to the imperial court to report Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu and others for their misdeeds of gaining power and harming the country, causing disaster to innocent people..."
Halfway through the words, he himself felt that this move was impossible. He grinned and was the first to smile. Those fellow Jinshi scholars in those days have experienced ups and downs in officialdom for such a long time. How much of the spirit of guiding the country in the past is left in them? I heard that for
It is Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu who are in danger. I am afraid they will hide away immediately! Even if they are really willing to help, with a few petty officials as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, how can they shake the current government that even the descendants of Hu Guogong stay away from?
The minister of power? I'm afraid that if everyone handed over the joint paper, it would either be lost in the sea or cause trouble. By the time His Majesty the Emperor shined his eyes on him, Yuwen Zida's bones had already turned into ashes. (Note 1)
"Your method is only suitable for gentlemen!" After laughing, Lei Wanchun glanced at Zhang Xun and declared bluntly, "To deal with the philistines, I think it is best to use the methods of the rascals. Open up this ledger.
, tore out a few irrelevant pages and sent someone to deliver them to that shopkeeper Zhu. For no other reason than to let shopkeeper Zhu know that we have such a thing in our hands. As for whether to save Yuwen Zida, he
The boss behind it will consider what to do!"
"This..." Zhang Xun frowned. After reading Confucian classics for so many years, it was difficult for him to agree with Lei Wanchun's methods. But at the same time, he had to admit that Lei Wanchun's suggestions were more
The wishful thinking I had just now was much more effective and feasible.
"I'll arrange the manpower to do it. You and Brother Zhang don't come forward. Otherwise, Yang Guozhong will find clues in the future and take revenge on Brother Zhang!" Wang Xun didn't feel so burdened. He felt that Lei Wanchun's proposal was a good one and immediately nodded in agreement.
"You can't go either!" Zhang Xun shook his head to stop. After reluctantly accepting Lei Wanchun's proposal, he considered the specific details of the action much more deeply than the other two. "The relationship between you and Zida is on the surface.
As long as the Yang family wants to find someone, the first person they will guess is you. With this kind of magical fighting method, it may be difficult to determine the winner in one or two rounds. As long as Yang Guozhong does not fall completely, your Wang family will be in the capital again.
, it’s easy to set up a trap to trap you in.”
After thinking about it, he continued to shake his head. "For the same reason, Ma Fang's people cannot be used. It is not easy for him to do this for everyone! Guo model and Guozhen can't come forward. In addition, after experiencing this
The Yang family and Yuwen Zida are like falling apart. In order to prevent them from taking revenge on Zida in the future, the remaining account books must be made to disappear out of thin air, leaving no trace at all!"
"This won't work, that won't work either, but you said it will work!" Seeing Zhang Xun's calm appearance, Lei Wanchun rubbed his hands anxiously.
Zhang Xun smiled and sighed, "Only to deal with Yang Guozhong can we use such despicable tactics. That's all, that's all, let's just fight fire with fire. Lao Lei, see if you can find a friend in the world. Basically, there is nothing to worry about.
He who rarely showed up in the capital before, let him go to Zhuji. After leaving Zhuji, leave Chang'an immediately so that the Yang family can never find him again!"
"This?" Lei Wanchun was really stumped by Zhang Xun. He had been washing his hands in a golden basin for many years. The friends he had met on the road before had either died unexpectedly, or they had washed their hands in a golden basin and had their own family business.
If you believe without reservation, and you are alone, and you can drift away afterwards, how can you possibly have it delivered to your door by yourself in a short while?!
"There's no rush at this moment! As long as you go to the Wannian County Yamen to make money at all costs, it won't be a problem if you delay it for ten days and a half." Zhang Xun was a little disappointed. He glanced at Wang Xun, who was looking at Lei Wanchun pitifully, and comforted him in a low voice.
.
"Yes!" Lei Wanchun suddenly slapped his head and laughed. "How could I forget about him? This person is absolutely reliable. As long as he is willing to agree, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished!"
