Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 195 Chapter 190 Chapter [-]: Counterpoint with Zeng Mian

Had a banquet with Li Guodong and other Shandong generals. At the banquet, Li Guodong and Zhou Shangwen were introduced, and Zhou Shangwen was asked to be responsible for reorganizing the Shaanxi garrison, and Li Guodong cooperated.

Then Wang Daoqiu asked the Shandong Army generals and Zhou Shangwen to discuss the future of the Shaanxi Army in their military style, while Wang Daoqiu himself went to see Zeng Mian.

Led by Captain Jinyi, Wang Daoqiu came to a dark dungeon where Tongguan defenders used to imprison erring officers and soldiers. Captain Jinyi opened the lock and let Wang Daoqiu in.

Entering the dungeon, Wang Daoqiu saw a man with a disheveled face, a brace on his neck, and handcuffs on his feet under a dim oil lamp, sitting on a pile of thatch and leaning against the corner of the wall.

Wang Daoqiu guessed that this person was Zeng Mian, so without saying a word, he sat on the chair that Captain Jinyi had just moved for him, and waved Captain Jinyi to leave.

Zeng Mian didn't know Wang Daoqiu, and Wang Daoqiu was now wearing loose casual clothes instead of official uniforms that were inconvenient for sitting and walking.So Zeng Xian was really confused about Wang Daoqiu's identity for a while.

After Wang Daoqiu sat down, Zeng Mian also sat up straight. He looked like a very classy elder and asked: "Young man, who is the master of your family? Even the royal guards are respectful to you. What is your family's identity?" It’s unusual!”

Wang Daoqiu is only this year old, and he grew up in Huzhou, Zhejiang, a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and a mild climate.Therefore, his face was tender and youthful, so now Zeng Mian mistakenly thought that he was a playboy of some powerful family.

Faced with Zeng Mian's misunderstanding, Wang Daoqiu did not explain it. He just based on Zeng Mian's life experience in Huangyan, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province since he was a child, and later studied under famous teachers in Jiangdu, so he borrowed Jiangdu's life experience.He teased Zeng Mian in the Taizhou dialect of Zhejiang Province, saying that he was from Linhai, Taizhou.

When Wang Daoqiu was in college in his last life, there was a roommate in his dormitory from Jinxingdeng Village, Shanghai Linshan Town, Taizhou. Every time that roommate called his family, Wang Daoqiu felt that they were communicating in Japanese. .So for a while, Wang Daoqiu followed his Taizhou roommate, and learned the Taizhou Duqiao accent that is [-] to [-] percent popular in four years of college.

Now Wang Daoqiu doesn't know if there is a town like Shangpan in Taizhou in the Ming Dynasty, but thinking about Duqiao, a central town in the eastern part of the sea, there should be one.So Wang Daoqiu is now using Duqiao accent to talk nonsense with Zeng Mi, saying that he is from Linhai Duqiao, pretending to be Zeng Mi's Taizhou fellow.

Zeng Mi is from Huangyan, Taizhou. There is a difference between Huangyan dialect and Linhai dialect, and the pronunciation is not quite the same. Two authentic Huangyan natives and Linhai natives are speaking together, and they have to speak slowly so that the other party can probably understand. What did you say!And Zeng Mi left Taizhou when he was young and settled down in Jiangdu, so Wang Daoqiu's current Du Qiao accent, which is [-]% to [-]% popular, sounds to Zeng Mi that it is his Taizhou accent!
However, Taizhou has been a place where unruly people have emerged from poor mountains and rivers since ancient times, and is rich in Taizhou "green shells". It is located on the coast of Zhejiang, sandwiched between Ningbo and Wenzhou. The three cities are collectively referred to as the Ningbo-Taizhou-Wenzhou area.But because of such a superior geographical location, it took more than ten years before Taizhou had a railway in the 21st century.That’s really even more poor and remote than the remote areas in the central and western regions!

Therefore, in Taizhou, after the private economy developed in the 21st century, people began to pay attention to their children's studies when they had money, and local folk customs improved.Before the 21st century, Taizhou was a poor place with unruly people. Being a "green shell" was the most promising career for Taizhou men.

So precisely because of the thousands of years of bandits in Taizhou, there are many well-known pirate leaders and bandit leaders in Taizhou.But if there are any well-known high-ranking families in Taizhou with scholarly family backgrounds, Zeng Mian, a man from Huangyan, really can't think of them.

So when facing Wang Daoqiu, who looked elegant and commanded the royal guards, he was obviously a child of a powerful family.But Wang Daoqiu also said that he was from Duqiao, Linhai County, Taizhou Prefecture. There were tens of thousands of bandits and pirates in Taizhou Prefecture, but he was a rich and powerful family!Which powerful man would place his residence in Taizhou, a remote place with pirates and bandits everywhere?Among Ningbo, Shaoxing and Hangzhou above Taizhou, which place does not have more outstanding people than Taizhou?
So now Zeng Mian was deceived by Wang Daoqiu, who spoke with a Duqiao accent. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how could such a handsome and noble son like Wang Daoqiu be from Taizhou?

Seeing Zeng Xian's doubtful look on life, Wang Daoqiu smiled at first, then quickly changed his face and said in a serious tone: "How about Governor Zeng, my Linhai dialect is quite authentic, right? Okay. , I came all the way from the capital, and it was hard work on the saddle and horse, so I won’t waste time. I would like to introduce myself, I am Wang Daoqiu, courtesy name Liangzhen..."

"What, you are Wang Daoqiu, Wang Liangzhen?"

Zeng Mian was shocked when he heard that Wang Daoqiu announced his family name. In the official circles of the Ming Dynasty, which official in the Ming Dynasty was not envious and jealous of Wang Daoqiu's name?He was only six yuan in age and only half a year into the officialdom. He was like a rocket. He was promoted directly from a junior scholar to a first-class bachelor. He even got the title of marquis. He was truly granted the title of marquis. Look, that’s awesome!

So now when Zeng Xian heard that the young man in front of him was Wang Daoqiu, he was so shocked that he was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.Faced with Zeng Mian's disbelief, Wang Daoqiu didn't waste much time and directly took out his official certificate, opened it and put it in front of Zeng Mian's eyes for Zeng Mian to see.

Wang Daoqiu's name, place of origin, and official position are clearly written on the official certificate, and then think about Jin Yiwei's respectful attitude towards Wang Daoqiu just now, and the fact that Wang Daoqiu can actually chat with himself, a repeat offender of the court.Zeng Mi also believed it, and the young man in front of him was Wang Daoqiu, the most powerful brother in Ming Dynasty's officialdom.

Knowing that the young man in front of him was Wang Daoqiu, Zeng Mi immediately straightened his body and put on an absolute arrogance of a scholar.In a disdainful tone, he said: "A criminal official in the lower official district, it is troublesome to condescend to the Grand Tutor. Should the lower official get up and kneel down to the Grand Tutor now? Hahahaha!"

Arrogant!Facing Zeng Mian's self-righteous and literati demeanor, Wang Daoqiu was annoyed.So in front of him, Wang Daoqiu said rudely: "No need to kneel, anyway, even if you bow to me now, you will inevitably go to Caishikou for a walk."

"Nonsense, Wang Liangzhen, I once served the country wholeheartedly, expelled the Tartars, and made many military exploits. I have served the country well, why should I go to Caishikou? After arriving in Beijing, I believe that the Three Fajies and the Emperor will pay me back to my former mother. A fair one. But you, Wang Liangzhen, learned the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and entered the official position at the age of six yuan, but you have no integrity. You have hooked up with Jinyiwei, Dongchang and other eagles and dogs, corrupted and perverted the law, framed the loyal and good, and seduced the emperor. More in Shandong It is inhumane and indiscriminate killing of innocent people. The corpses of hundreds of thousands of people blocked the canal and the water in the canal changed color. Laizhou, you ignored the fact that tens of thousands of people were coerced into becoming thieves. You ignored the fact that tens of thousands of innocent people were killed and killed. The bandits rushed into the sea together and drowned alive, causing a loss of life and violating the harmony of nature. Wang Liangzhen, your crime should be punished with Ling Chi."

"Hahahahaha, Mr. Zeng, as you said, I, Wang Liangzhen, killed innocent people indiscriminately and deserved death. But even so, not only was I not punished by the court, but I was also granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. Are you angry about this?"

"You, Wang Liangzhen, don't be complacent. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and you, Wang Liangzhen, will eventually be rewarded."

"Retribution, maybe! But even if I have retribution, I'm afraid you Zeng Mian won't be able to see it. And I dare to bet you that this time you and Xia Yan will not only be sentenced to death by the Three Justices, but your family members will also They were exiled to the army, and the women were taken to the Jiaofang Department and used as prostitutes."

"You, Wang Liangzhen, please stop talking nonsense. Academician Xia and I are innocent, and the court will definitely give us justice. Wang Liangzhen, don't even think about making alarmist remarks or deceiving me."

Facing Wang Daoqiu's truth-telling, Zeng Mian was still stubborn, but his somewhat evasive expression betrayed him, letting Wang Daoqiu know that Zeng Mian was actually very guilty now.

Seeing Zeng Mian's appearance, Wang Daoqiu knew that Zeng Mian was just a roast duck now. His whole body was rotten, so he only had a tough mouth.

So Wang Daoqiu continued to attack: "Master Zeng, you just accused me of hooking up with Jinyiwei and Dongchang. It seems that Master Zeng knows Mianyiwei and Dongchang. Then I ask you, based on what you Master Zeng has As a high-ranking official with a heavy military force in the border areas. As an assistant minister of Xia Yan's cabinet, with Jinyiwei and Dongchang by your side, do you think there will be no spies? "

"Yes, yes, so what, Mr. Xia and I are innocent..."

Next, Zeng Mian made an impassioned statement about his innocence with Xia Yan. When Wang Daoqiu heard Zeng Mian denying his relationship with Xia Yan, Wang Daoqiu suddenly realized that he had let out too much. .

If Zeng Mian had prepared in advance for this, and in the lobby of the Sanfa Division, instead of denying his personal relationship with Xia Yan, but using other rhetoric to fool him, wouldn't it be troublesome.

So now listening to Zeng Mian's sophistry, Wang Daoqiu suppressed the urge in his heart to teach Zeng Mian how to behave, thinking about how to bring the topic between the two sides to the personnel matters of the three armies that he wanted to know.
