Zhou Zheng and Yang Sichang were sitting in a corner, drinking tea and talking about things.
Yang Sichang is obviously preparing something, with a smug expression on his face, and said: "I plan to explain my countermeasures against bandits to the emperor next year. The emperor should believe me, but if Yuan Fu changes, I am worried about accidents."
Yang Sichang's "sweeping net on all sides" is ready to come out.
Zhou Zheng will not let Yang Sichang's ten-faced netting really be carried out. If Yang Sichang is really wiped out, or if the gangster is hit hard, his plan will not be shattered, at least it will be delayed for a long time.
Zhou Zheng pretended to ponder, and said: "It should not be the court's decision to suppress bandits. The emperor will not tolerate any damage. As long as Mr. Yang's strategy is feasible, the emperor will support it."
Yang Sichang thought the same way. Suddenly he looked at Zhou Zheng with blazing eyes and said, "If there is any problem then, I will adjust the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, Tianjin Wei and Shandong, are you okay?"
In these three places, Zhou Zheng had the deepest relationship, and he was also the Minister of War. It would be too easy to restrain Yang Sichang.
Zhou Zheng said without thinking, "No problem."
Yang Sichang saw Zhou Zheng not cheating, with a smile on his face, and said, "I feel relieved when you say that. Besides, I also want to borrow 200,000 silver from Zhou's ticket number."
Zhou's ticket number is now well-known. The deposit of silver in Suzhou is as high as five million taels. Who doesn't look at it
The background of the Zhou's ticket number and who is behind the scenes can be found out clearly with a little trick.
Zhou Zheng did not expect that Yang Sichang would actually ask him to borrow money. He paused for a moment and said: "The name of the Ministry of War is not appropriate. Let the Ministry of Households come forward. I'll say hello, and I will get you all in one month."
Yang Sichang didn’t expect Zhou Zheng to be so straightforward. He looked so straightforward and smiled: “Okay, I’ll go to the Ministry of Households and say! I’ve read your article about Liaodong, and there’s no problem. You recommend."
Zhou Zheng's brows moved secretly. Yang Sichang's return was really good. He picked up the tea cup with a smile and said, "Thank you, sir."
Yang Sichang was supported by Zhou Zheng's military strength and money, so he was naturally happy and more confident in his heart. He also took a teacup and took a sip with a smile.
The two chatted about the Northwest again, and then went back to their class room.
At this time, Zhang Heyi, who was newly appointed to the Qing dynasty officer of the Ministry of War, was standing in front of Zhou Zheng's class room. When Zhou Zheng was back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord."
Zhang Heyi was one of the people transferred back by Zhou Zheng and looked at him and said, "Go in and say."
Zhang Heyi followed Zhou Zheng into the door, immediately closed the door again, and turned around and said, "My lord, I heard that Xie Tianguan was imprisoned?"
Heavenly official, that is, the official book.
Zhou Zheng sat in a chair and said with a smile: "I went to court on the first day, the official secretary, the criminal secretary, and the two went to jail together. Do you think it's irritating?"
Even if Zhang Heyi couldn't see the scene, she knew that there were not many swords and swords behind it. He was intrigued and said with a worried expression: "My lord, many of us were arranged by Xie Tianguan, especially in the past two years. Will it be bothersome? grown ups?"
I don't know how many people Zhou Zheng has arranged over the years, especially Yongping Mansion and Hejian Mansion, all of which were arranged through'illegal' means.
Zhou Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and said: "Don't worry, the real big shot is still there, Xie Tianguan won't talk nonsense."
If Xie Sheng really talked nonsense, it would definitely not be Zhou Zheng's person who had the accident. In the current Daming officialdom, how many officials came in accordance with the normal rules
The law does not blame the public, nor can it go deep into it.
Zhang Heyi's expression was a little slow, and said, "My lord, the junior officer was in the Ministry of War to find out, it was a mess, everything is a mess, people are floating, corruption is rampant..."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about these things. Tell Yao Tongshun and Ding Qi to focus on Liaodong, Tianjin Wei and Shandong. I will start to rectify the three places. Ma Shiying will take over as the governor of Shandong and let him come to Beijing to meet. I!"
Zhang Heyi knew that Ma Shiying was Zhou Zheng's person. He didn't expect Zhou Zheng to get a position as governor in a short time after returning to Beijing. He raised his hand overjoyed and said, "You will follow orders!"
Zhang Heyi opened the door again and was about to go out. Suddenly a principal came in a hurry and saw Zhang Heyi hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Master Zhang, Master Shang Shu asked Master Zhou to go to his classroom. If you are in a hurry, please report it."
Zhou Zheng had already heard it inside, stepped out, and said, "What's the matter?"
The chief hesitated, and said, "Let's ask Master Zhou and Master Shang Shu to inquire face to face."
Zhou Zheng frowned slightly, glanced at him, and walked towards Yang Sichang's class room.
After entering Yang Sichang's class room, he saw Yang Sichang looking down at a memo, his face sinking like water, and his eyes stern.
Even Zhou Zheng came in without raising his head.
Zhou Zheng walked to his desk and said, "What happened?"
Yang Sichang twitched his face fiercely, and handed him the memo in front of him.
Zhou Zheng picked it up, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
This is Hong Chengchou's deputy, who accused Hong Chengchou of receiving money from the bandits during the period of the bandit suppression. The woman bought land in Nanzhili and kept the outer room. The time, place, and names of the people are listed clearly Chu, it's not fake at first sight!
Zhou Zheng's expression changed, and he guessed right away that this was Li Hengbing's action.
It's only been a few days, Li Hengbing's movements were too fast, and he grasped the handle really harshly and accurately!
Yang Sichang thought that Zhou Zheng's discoloration was because of anger, so he took a deep breath, his face still could not hide his anger, and said, "You said, what should I do?"
Hong Chengchou still has many achievements in suppressing bandits in the northwest, and he is also a key figure in Yang Sichang's "Ten-faced Net". Now he has exploded these things, and the most difficult thing is Yang Sichang!
Zhou Zheng put the memo in front of Yang Sichang and said lightly: "What else? Before it's too late, I will call Hong Chengchou back to Beijing and arrange for someone to replace him. It's better than bursting out suddenly and hitting us by surprise."
"Isn't this an accident?"
Yang Sichang's tone was angry, but he said helplessly: "It can only be done like this. I will enter the palace to see the emperor later. He has a heavy weapon in his hand now, and he has to use some means."
What means? It's not a'sales talk', to lure Hong Chengchou away from the station and arrest him.
Zhou Zheng didn't care about Hong Chengchou's life or death at all, and instead asked, "Who is more suitable to replace him?"
Yang Sichang glanced at Zhou Zheng, thinking that you are suitable, but not mine, he sighed deeply, and said, "I will let Shi Lang Chen go."
That is Zuo Shi Lang of the Ministry of War, Chen Xinjia.
Zhou Zheng nodded indisputably, and said: "Hurry up, the Chinese New Year will be coming soon. At this time, gangsters are the most fierce time for chaos."
Seeing that Zhou Zheng really supported his idea, Yang Sichang didn't ask for it at this time. He felt somewhat comforted, and said, "You stare at the ministry, and I will go into the palace."
Zhou Zheng responded and came out one after another with him.
Watching Yang Sichang leave, Zhou Zheng looked up at the sky and said to himself: "What a big show..."
Three days after Yang Sichang entered the palace, Hong Chengchou was imprisoned, and Chen Xinjia succeeded him. News of the prime minister's military affairs in the five northwestern provinces spread in the capital.
From the second year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou suppressed bandits in the northwest and was promoted from the Senate of Shaanxi to the prime minister of the five provinces. His ability was absolutely extraordinary. His sudden fall was a shock to the ruling and opposition parties.
As soon as the news spread, Li Hengbing came to Zhou Zheng's mansion and looked at Zhou Zheng and said directly: "Tell me your secret." (End of this chapter)
