Daming Yinghua

Chapter 262
In the room of four discussing matters in the hall, the atmosphere did not remain cold for a long time before Zheng Haizhu stood up.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Zuo, and Mr. Wang, I have fully confessed what I saw and guessed when I went to the inner court and the Taoist temple. Once the unitary hour is over, the curfew will be lifted, and I have to go back to my house."

The curfew is just an excuse, avoiding it first is actually a matter of propriety.

What are the identities of Yang Zuo and Wang Wenyan, and Wang Wenyan is the hidden military adviser of Wang An and the Donglin court officials.

Zheng Haizhu understands that the plots in the cool article that can make the other party call him a boss with a few words are all deceiving ghosts.

I have not been truly accepted into the core of the think tank by these men of civil servants or staff.

Right now, she, Zheng Haizhu, is just a relatively easy-to-use chess piece.

It's enough for Huoqi to bring the words, there is no need to linger around, stretch your head and neck, and wait to see Yang Lian immediately form an army, that way, it will teach these opposite sexes who can't look at women at the same level after all, and feel disgusted in their hearts.

Besides, Yang Lian's face was sinking like water, his brows were furrowed and his fists were clenched. It seemed that he was more annoyed at the fact that the emperor was greedy for women and didn't care about the dragon's body. There seems to be no solution to the problem.

Staring at Yang Gejian and the rest, wouldn't it hurt his proud face?

Zheng Haizhu said goodbye with blessing.

Leaving the business that Eunuch Wang was in contact with, the Zuo family's carriage trotted towards Zheng's firm.

Zheng Haizhu leaned in the carriage, looking at the pedestrians and shop lights on the side of the street through the gap in the curtain.

She suddenly missed Wu Bangde a little.

If Wu Bangde hadn't died, he could sit across from him and listen in the dark night that was about to become chaotic.

She would tell him that today, like when she made up the story that Nurhachi had bribed Li Yongfang when she went to Hetuala, she would embellish Taoist Jingzhao's false view, with the purpose of igniting the raging suspicion in the hearts of the courtiers. fire.

But different from the battle of Fushun back then, Daoist Jingzhao rescued Zheng Haizhu when they met by chance.

Zheng Haizhu believes that only Wu Bangde, who has the mentality of a counselor and walked with him for a period of life, can understand and explain the cold tricks, instead of commenting on the four words "the benevolence of a woman" superficially.

When Zheng Haizhu sighed deeply, the carriage slowed down until it stopped.

The coachman from the Zuo family turned his head: "Ma'am, there is an old man saluting at the front, he should be talking, Ma'am, do you think he is an acquaintance?"

Zheng Haizhu lifted the curtain on the front of the car to look.

It was Wang Wenyan.

Zheng Haizhu jumped off the carriage without hesitation.

Wang Wenyan handed a small folded paper to the boy behind him, and said softly, "Go to Mrs. Zheng's treasure account, and send name cards to Mrs. Zheng's subordinates, saying that my wife and I are discussing matters, please don't worry about them. "

The little servant bowed in response, and took the order to go.

When Wang Wenyan turned his gaze back, he saw that Zheng Haizhu's face was full of displeasure and surprise.

The woman only said in a calm tone, "Mr. Wang doesn't care about the curfew?"

Wang Wenyan took a step forward, showing the signboard in his hand, and said in the same polite tone: "Wang Mou has this, it was given by the palace, it doesn't matter."

Zheng Haizhu then turned his head, sent Zuo's carriage back, followed Wang Wenyan, turned around an alley, and entered a wine shop.

The restaurant is not big, but the courtyard is deep.

The two sat down in the cubicle behind the small kiosk on the rockery, and a young man came unannounced and brought drinks and snacks.

Wang Wenyan poured himself a cup of fine wine, but pushed the steaming bowl of wontons to Zheng Haizhu.

"Mrs. Zheng must have eaten some hot food before dinner. You people from Nanzhili should like these little crepe wontons."

Zheng Haizhu pulled the bowl to his hand, and said with a smile: "I thought that Mr. Wang came from the place where the state capital was sentenced to prison and worked as an official in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Wang Wenyan's heart moved slightly, and before he picked up the wine glass to drink, he pursed his lips and said, "Madam has already inquired about Wang's origin."

Zheng Haizhu blew the wontons in the spoon: "The name is resounding, and there are people who admire it and ask about it. It's like we run a business company everywhere, and the name is hung up. A busy person like Mr., doesn't take the time to ask clearly Have you chosen the location of our shop?"

Wang Wenyan took a sip of wine, put down the glass, and said sincerely: "Madam, you are not happy. Since Wang is valued by Wang Gonggong and Dong Lin, you must not take lightly the people who come to join them. Madam is a heroine with previous achievements. How can Wang be sure who the madam is, and whether she will set up a trap for Wang Gonggong and Dong Lin."

Zheng Haizhu grinned: "Mr. Wang can't even trust Master Huang Zunsu Huang?"

"A wise man has a lot of worries, and there may be some mistakes. However, Wang has sent his subordinates to follow his wife for a while these days, and now he is more or less relieved."

"Mr. is straightforward, he doesn't talk nonsense, he is quite similar to us businessmen."

Wang Wenyan's brows and eyes widened more and more: "Then Wang asked more directly. Madam's heart is for Donglin, just because of her friendship with Huang Zunsu's...the other side?"

Zheng Haizhu chewed a wonton, swallowed it, nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Huang was my first reliance. When doing business, you always start from the familiar land and gradually expand. Besides, Mr. Wang is in Bo Having stayed in the treacherous rivers and lakes, but I still choose Donglin, I am more at ease, it can be seen that what Renjie sees is similar."

Wang Wenyan smiled: "Madam praised Wang. Life is just a word for 'gambling' and a word for 'luck'. If there was a way to get to know Qi Chuzhe back then, maybe Wang has a different face."

"Mr. Wang, in addition to gambling and luck, there is also the word 'righteousness'. Whoever you choose is actually not necessarily good or evil, but if you choose, you will be a vile person with both ends. Throughout the ages , the family slaves of the three surnames are the most contemptible."

Hearing this, Wang Wenyan raised his eyelids, and a trace of appreciation flashed by in his eyes.

Zheng Haizhu has seen a lot of people in the past few years. It is rare for such a man who has entered his forties to occasionally reveal the radiance of a young man in his eyes.

She wasn't surprised by Wang Wenyan's reaction, who gave her the advantage of the information gap of future generations.

According to historical records, Wang Wenyan was ordered by Wei Zhongxian to be imprisoned a few years later. Under various tortures by the eunuch party, he still refused to frame Yang Lian.

A shrewd entrepreneur may not necessarily be indifferent to the word "righteousness" deep in his heart.

After Zheng Haizhu finished speaking, he took the jug, filled the porcelain cup in front of him, and raised his glass to Wang Wenyan: "Mr. is a jailer, and I am a businesswoman. If we didn't earn word of mouth , can’t get into the eyes of those ministers and workers who are Jinshi. It’s okay, we and them need each other, so let’s join hands with the words of righteousness and profit, and it’s good to be worthy of the national fortune and the people’s livelihood.”

Wang Wenyan clinked wine glasses with her, drank it down, and said again: "It is said that we are working together, we should be more diligent and smart, and let them do the work of building bridges and paving roads. Zheng Madam, just now Master Yang said that he should just find a reason to impeach Li Kezhuo of Honghe Temple to dismiss him at home in the past few days, and he will not have the chance to enter the palace to face the saint again, what do you think?"

Zheng Haizhu said: "I think this is the worst strategy among the best ones. It's a surprise. Yang and Zuo, the two masters, shouldn't use their status as speech officials to pull the god teacher Sun Chengzong to run to the Long Live God, just like Hai Rui did to him back then. Like Lord Jiajing, what kind of wine, sex, wealth, etc., to persuade Lord Long live to be pure-hearted and ascetic. Lord Long live has been a useless prince for half his life, and now he has finally turned around. Rely on a few words of reasoning to stop him."

Wang Wenyan thought to himself, you woman, you really dare to speak disobedient words.

He curled his lips: "Just watch Long Live Lord come to the lucky palace every day?"

"That's right," Zheng Haizhu said, "The body is not bad, and there is no trouble, so how can we confirm our guess?"

Wang Wenyan lowered his voice: "So, Ma'am is not in a hurry to save you, but to make Wang Gonggong and Yang Lian believe in your conspiracy?"

Zheng Haizhu met his gaze: "Mr. Wang, don't you think like me?"

"Hehe," Wang Wenyan put down his wine glass, "I and Zuo Gong persuaded Yang Gong. But we can't just sit on the sidelines, what preparations are we doing secretly?"

Zheng Haizhu thought for a while, and changed to a respectful and discussing tone: "First, keep an eye on Li Kezhuo to see who he has private contacts with; second, find someone to keep the medicine dregs from the imperial pharmacy. There are also many godsons who are small firemen; the third one..."

After hearing the third matter, Wang Wenyan shook his head and nodded again, and said with a smile: "Madam, there is no taboo in discussing matters."

Zheng Haizhu showed no intimacy on her face, she just paused, then suddenly took out a paper bag from her sleeve, put it on the table, and opened it carefully.

"Mr. Wang is well-informed, can you help me find out if there is any poppy shell powder in these medicinal residues?"
