Zhou Zheng is no longer the original Xiao Yushi, he is the governor of Denglai, the fourth rank of Zheng, holding a heavy army, and having just won a big victory, it is naturally impossible to be dealt with soon.
Between the ruling and the opposition, surrounding this matter, the dark tide is surging, and the ghosts and ghosts are all out.
I don't know how many people want to step on Zhou Zheng, share his exploits this time, and get Denglai into his hands.
There are also many people who don't want Zhou Zheng to be unlucky. It's not that they are friendly to Zhou Zheng, but they simply don't want outsiders to benefit.
All parties are wrestling, and the means are endless and dazzling.
On the third day of Zhou Zheng's imprisonment, a restaurant on Chang'an Street.
Wan Qianqi looked at the young man sitting opposite with a smile, and pushed a box over.
The young man on the opposite side looked like a rich young man, dressed gorgeously, with an expression of arrogance and self-confidence.
The young man glanced at Thousands of Thousands of Trees, stretched out his hand to open the box, and was suddenly startled by the golden light inside.
Gold, silver and jade are all in it. You can tell at a glance that they are good things, and they are worth less!
The young man's throat moved, and then pretending to be expressionless, "What do you want to do with me this time?"
Obviously, this is not the first time the two have collaborated.
Wan Qianxiu wiped his mouth with a silk scarf, smiled lightly, and said, "As before, please speak a few words in front of your father."
Wen Kan, the second son of Wen Tiren, is now a member of the cabinet.
Wen Kan looked at Thousands of Thousands, hesitated to hold the box in front of him, and reluctantly said: "My father is now the first assistant. Some things are not easy to do, and I may not be able to do it."
Wan Qianxu worked in Guanya for many years and met too many people. Wen Kan's pretense was seen through by him, and he smiled motionlessly and said, "I won't embarrass Young Master Wen here. I am. I just want to ask my father to be neutral and impartial in Zhou Zhengyun's affairs."
Wen Kan naturally knew Zhou Zheng. It can be said that Zhou Zheng's matter is now the biggest thing for Daming, and all the civil and military officials are staring at it.
Wen Kan is not surprised, people who intercede with Zhou Zheng are everywhere.
He pretended to hesitate for a while, looked at Thousands of Thousands and said: "It's just that?"
Wan Qianqiu smiled affirmatively: "It's just that. If things can be done, there will be a thank-you gift twice as expensive as this."
Wen Kan's eyes lit up, he put the box in his arms without hesitation, and said, "Okay, remember your words!"
Wan Qianqiu smiled and nodded, looking at Wen Kan's back, his eyes narrowed, and he got up and ran down again.
Liu Liuzhe was not idle at the moment. He visited many people in accordance with Zhou Zheng's arrangement. It's not that they are asking them to petition and pleading, but to do nothing.
The huge influence of the Zhou Chamber of Commerce is operating quietly, with tentacles spreading across every corner of the capital.
Prison of the Criminal Ministry.
Zhou Zheng's treatment was not bad. The cell, bed, sheets, toiletries, etc. were all very clean and tidy.
Two days after coming in, Zhou Zheng didn't see anyone, except for reading and sleeping.
On this day, no one came from outside, but there was someone next door to him, an old acquaintance.
Li Hengbing, the former chief inspector of Zhejiang Taoist censorship.
This person who should have been exiled and deported is actually still in prison at the Ministry of Justice.
Several years have passed, Zhou Zheng almost forgot about this person, and he actually appeared in his field of vision again.
Li Heng took care of the prison uniform, his face was still as rigid as in the past. He went into the cell without saying a word, sat on a chair, and waited for the jailer to leave. Then he looked at Zhou Zheng through the prison pillar and said with a smile: "I know you too. I came in, so I changed the cell in particular. Why? I thought I was dead. Surprised?"
Zhou Zheng put down the book, laughed, and said: "There are surprises, it's not an accident."
Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "It's a little bit less immature and mature than a few years ago."
Zhou Zheng also looked at Li Hengbing and saw that he had not changed much from a few years ago, and said straightforwardly: "Any suggestions?"
Li Hengbing was silent for a moment, and said: "You didn't put me down and sent me to death, and I am not watching your jokes now. I have to say that what you said at the beginning has basically been confirmed in the past few years. It is indeed my whimsical. Short-sighted, blindly arrogant."
Zhou Zheng looked as usual and said: "It has been so many years, are you here to review?"
Li Hengbing shook his head and laughed, and said with emotion: "After so many years, thinking about it, it is indeed ridiculous. I didn't come to your review. Have you ever thought about how to get through this disaster?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "If I told you that I had expected today before then, would you be surprised?"
Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng, his expression moved, and said, "With your Minda, you should have expected that you came in on purpose? Why?"
Zhou Zheng picked up the tea cup casually, and said lightly: "Things must be counterproductive."
Li Hengbing is a wise man, he immediately understood, and said: "You are already the fourth-rank Denglai governor, and a further step should be the third-rank sixth servant, but your qualifications and age are not bad. You are retreating. , Want to accumulate prestige and qualifications?"
There are many ways to raise hope in the Ming Dynasty. The first is to speak out in the court. Of course, you have to go to the emperor. If you are caught by the court, it will be better. If you are imprisoned, it will be even better. .
This is the best way to resurrect and go further! This is also the usual trick of the current civil officials, and the adults in the ruling and opposition parties all have such a resume.
Zhou Zheng has established the country many times for the country, and now he is in prison. I don't know how many people are dissatisfied and angry. After a year or two, the time has changed. When the court thinks of him, he wants to rise again. At least it is also the six ministers!
Zhou Zheng was noncommittal, and said, "What are you looking for me for?"
Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng, seemingly laughed at himself again, and said: "I haven't seen you for many years. You are no better than before. However, I still want to teach you one thing. You are very dangerous right now. You want to get out of your body. There are two. The key is that one is the palace and the other is the cabinet. As long as these two places do not speak, you will be fine. You know what I mean?"
Seeing that Li Hengbing had no paranoia a few years ago, Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I'll send you out."
Li Hengbing was taken aback, shook his head, and said: "It doesn't make much sense to me that you can't get out. It seems that you came in only when you were ready... Also, you are always meticulous, seemingly adventurous, but in fact at least seven or eight. I'm sure of success. What I am curious about now is, what do you plan to do in the future?"
Li Hengbing knew for a long time that Zhou is a person who is not bound by etiquette. When a person is extremely disappointed with the existing rules, he will not act within the rules, and often wants to break the rules and reshape the rules.
Zhou Zheng took another sip of tea and said: "Sit in jail for half a year, or go home to take the child. By the way, my daughter-in-law is pregnant, and I will soon be a father..."
Li Hengbing took a deep look at Zhou Zheng and said, "I feel that you are walking on a very dangerous road..."
Zhou Zheng put down his teacup and laughed again, and said, "Your feelings are often wrong."
"But I think I was right this time. Send me out. I want to see what you are going to do." Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng and said.
Zhou Zheng's expression moved, and he said, "Okay."
Li Hengbing glanced at Zhou Zheng again, then turned back and picked up a book on the table.
He is not a person who likes to talk and reads books by himself.
Zhou Zheng is not even a person who likes to talk a lot. He picked up the book and read it intently.
The two talked for a while and read the book without any embarrassment. (End of this chapter)
