Chapter 259: A traitor to the salt merchants

Views:

Zhou Zheng now has countless pairs of eyes staring at him, and his Jiujiang Pavilion has naturally fallen into the eyes of many people.

He Qitu has now resigned from office and hurried to Cui Mansion from the outside. He looked at Cui Chengxiu and said, "My lord, I don't know how much I can raise this week, and it's even more difficult to deal with him."

Cui Chengxiu was writing something in the study. He frowned upon hearing He Qitu's words. The pen that was originally flowing like water stopped, and immediately put down the pen, looked up at He Qitu, but did not speak.

He competes patiently with Zhou Zheng. The more calm and calm Zhou Zheng is, the more impatient and uneasy he will be.

Zhou Zheng was doing things methodically, and Cui Chengxiu's heart gradually became a little flustered.

What other means does Zhou Zheng have? What does he want to do

Cui Chengxiu couldn't figure it out, thought for a while, and said, "You prepare a gift and send it to him."

He Qitu was startled and said, "My lord, are you going to give him a gift?"

Cui Chengxiu looked as usual and said: "Whatever you want, don't be higher than ten taels."

He Qitu suddenly understood that Cui Chengxiu wanted to test Zhou Zheng or give Zhou Zheng a signal.

"Yes, the next official understands." He Qitu said.

Cui Chengxiu looked at the words on the table, and said: "I heard that Zhou Shangshu was shining, and was retained by the emperor?"

He Qitu looked down and said, "Yes. The emperor recruited Zhou Shangshu into the palace and had a meal together."

A smile appeared on Cui Chengxiu's face and said, "Zhou Mao has been living for so many years. There is no credit and hard work. The emperor will not let him go."

Seeing a smile on Cui Chengxiu's face, He Qitu cautiously said: "My lord, I heard that the eunuch Wei rarely goes out of the palace recently, and goes to the Qing palace more frequently than ever."

Cui Chengxiu naturally knew about Qian Jiazheng’s impeachment of Wei Zhongxian’s ten major crimes, and his face became more relaxed, saying: "When the first emperor died, we were all on the side of the couch. I understand that the court cannot do without Wei Gong. Xiao Xiaoxiao’s people will be unpredictable and will not succeed."

He Qitu was a little farther away from the top, listening to Cui Chengxiu's words, his heart was relieved a lot.

At least, Wei Zhongxian will be fine in a short period of time. The castrated party is still a castrated party!

In response to Cui Chengxiu's words, He Qitu quickly prepared a gift. It was an inkstone and delivered it to Jiujiang Pavilion.

Zhou Zheng is still in Jiujiang Pavilion at the moment, arranging Kou Huaiyi and others to do things.

The'library' had just been established, and many people came on the first day, and various problems appeared. Zhou Zheng needed to rectify, make up for various problems, and strengthen some management rules.

In addition to Kou Huai and other scholars who were originally in Zhou Ji, who stayed in Jiujiang Pavilion, there were nearly seven or eight newcomers, scattered on all floors, doing all kinds of things.

Compared with Zhang Heyi, Kou Huaiyi was more calm and performed most of the work of Jiujiang Pavilion. He was holding an inkstone in his hand and said: "My boss, this is from Cui Shang Shu's family, saying congratulations to Jiujiang Pavilion. Opened."

Zhou Zheng glanced at it and couldn't tell the difference between good and bad. After thinking about it, he said, "Throw it into the garbage dump on the side of the road. In the future, Cui family or things of unknown origin, do the same."

Kou Huaiyi knew the grudge between Zhou Zheng and the Cui family, and said, "Yes."

Zhou Zheng said with a hum, "Be cautious about the issuance of the reading card. Take it slowly. Don't let them in in a swarm. Also, check clearly and don't let people with ulterior motives come in."

Most of Jiujiang Pavilion is a book, if there is a light, it can really be burned!

Kou Huaiyi looked straight and said: "Don't worry, I will take care of it with all my strength and make sure nothing happens!"

Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "I know that you are talented, but luck is not good. Let's help me make it to the end of the year. Next year, I recommend you to be an official."

Kou Huaiyi had been waiting for Zhou Zheng's words, and quickly raised his hand excitedly, saying, "Thank you, my boss."

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Tell other people that as long as they do well, I will give them the opportunity. Don't think that you will work here for a lifetime."

Kou Huai thought of Zhang Heyi and said, "Yes, I will tell them what the boss said later."

Zhou Zheng didn't speak any more, and cleared the table. There were too many people here today, and he needs to digest it.

Until dark, Zhou Zheng did not return to his home. There were too many things in Jiujiang Pavilion. He inspected one by one four or five times, and he also ate dinner here.

Kou Huai and others were just as busy. At the beginning, there were always too many things.

Until the time passed, Zhou Zheng's room was still brightly lit.

At this moment, Liu Liuzhe quietly stepped forward and walked in front of Zhou Zheng, and said in a mysterious and mysterious voice: "Second Young Master, someone is asking to see you."

Without looking up, Zhou Zheng looked at the information of today's visitor in his hand, and said, "Who is it?"

"Si Shao Yang." Liu Liuzhe said in a low voice.

Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly, and he raised his head and said, "What is he here for?"

Liu Liuzhe said, "He said, he came to surrender."

Zhou Zheng raised his brows, with an inexplicable expression on his face, muttering to himself: "Sincere?"

Liu Liuzhe looked at Zhou Zheng, nodding his head heavily.

Seeing Liu Liuzhe's expression, Zhou Zhengruo knew it, and said, "Take him in."

Liu Liuzhe agreed and turned around and went out quickly.

Yang Sishao was dressed in black and covered his face with a cloak.

Zhou Zheng sat in a chair, looking at Yang Sishao's outfit, with a silent smile.

Yang Sishao's puffy eyes became more and more swollen. He took off his cloak and stood in front of Zhou Zheng, his face still indecisive.

He looked at Zhou Zheng's smile but gritted his teeth and said: "Young Master Zhou, I'm here to surrender."

"You came to surrender, should you bring your name certificate?" Zhou Zhengdao. This Young Master Yang is really interesting, he actually rebelled against the salt merchant? Is there something wrong with the salt merchant, or is this Yang Si Shao knowing that he is going to be abandoned, or is it a trap

Yang Sishao looked at Zhou Zheng with a more struggling expression. He took out an account book from his arms and said, "This is the list of all the properties and persons in charge of the Yang family. I know that this is very useful for you."

Zhou Zheng squinted and looked at Yang Sishao, without reaching out to pick him up.

The salt merchant did not attack him once or twice, nor did his counterattack once or twice, so it is not surprising that the salt merchant saw some of his goals, but that Yang Si directly held the Yang family’s account books and roster, which was a little bit awkward. It's normal.

Yang Sishao looked at Zhou Zheng's expression, curled his eyebrows, raised his hand and said, "I don't want to die!"

Zhou Zheng looked at him and stayed for a long time until Yang Sishao was almost unable to hold it. Then he said: "I also want information on the eighteen major salt merchants in Huaiyang. In addition, the Fan family, Jin family, and Liang family in Shanxi, I will ask someone to give you the information about the Tian family, the Wang family, the Zhai family, the second king, and the Huang family, as well as the specific names and information. You will find out quietly for me."

Yang Sishao looked at Zhou Zheng with a shocked expression, his mind was shaken and he was a little puzzled.

Didn't Zhou Zheng go to the Yang family? What does he want so much information about big businessmen? Even if he has someone in the palace and his father is a close minister of the new emperor, is it possible that he will become an enemy of the merchants in the world? (End of this chapter)
