Chapter 197: Thunder and Rain, All the King’s Favor

The eunuchs insight jin did not say.

So a look of displeasure appeared.

However, he is facing, or Wen Yuan Pavilion university scholar, then smiled and said: “Xie Gong is not there anything to say? If so …… slave girl had to go back to resume orders like this.”

Xie Jin took a deep breath before he said with fear and trembling, “Thunder and rain, all for the king’s grace …… I Xie Jin …… sincere fear, as a university scholar of the Wen Yuan Pavilion, I can not serve the king’s grace, ashamed of heaven and earth, but also ashamed of His Majesty’s holy virtue, only wish to Your majesty …… remembers that the minister is still quite diligent, and asks Your majesty to allow the minister to bury the minister, so that, day and night to praise Your majesty’s grace …….”

Hu Guang was listening on the sidelines, but he couldn’t help the chills rising up in his heart.

What he chills is both His Majesty’s ruthlessness.

More chilling, but Xie Jin’s response.

The son died, and in the midst of such grief, there was no thought of thinking of returning or retiring.

But so skillful response, visible in the case of frustration, Xie Jin’s intelligence is really horrible.

These words to savor, really wonderful, first seriously reflect on their own mistakes, at the same time …… words turn, requesting permission to bury his son in a thick funeral, which is to admit to playing a grandson, but at the same time, if His Majesty’s grace, then is not that …… this is also considered to be His Majesty’s grace? Then as a subject, shouldn’t I thank you for the grace?

So what had been a miserable affair that was impossible to cope with came to a perfect turnaround.

After all, it’s hardly hypocritical to singularly go and praise the emperor for a good kill after the death of his son.

But if the answer with a complaint, and inevitably let the emperor to be vigilant, then Xie Jin may also be dangerous.

Even a less-than-stellar answer may draw suspicion that you’re not harboring a grudge.

Only in this way was a small request made, followed by thanks, both a reason to give thanks and, at the same time, a desperate attempt to avoid showing one’s displeasure and paralyzing His Majesty.

I have to say, it’s scary to see such a response and talent.

…………

“Hey ……” Hu Guang quietly arrived at Yang Rong’s public room, he said with emotion, “Xie Gong still does not think of retiring ah, to this situation now, he instead more and more valued his career. ”

Yang Rong still lowered his head to draw up the ticket, actually did not feel strange, just one side of the draw up the ticket, one side said: “I heard people say, if Xie Gong’s family has guests, he will always be talking with the guests, quoting the scriptures, so that people will marvel at it. A person will show his talent and cause others to marvel, such a person …… even if on weekdays he how to say that he has a high moral character, that he does not care about fame and fortune, and that what the merit and fame is like a floating cloud, in fact, it is only a boast.”

“Such a person, on the contrary, the most focus on, precisely fame and fortune. So …… at first at the beginning, I guessed, Xie Gong will never retreat, but instead more and more cherish the position, I think …… your majesty did this, also eat through these.”

Hu Guang frowned: “words, but I see, the heart is still not painful. His Majesty did this, really teach people to chill, Xie Gong, after all, died his son …… hey …… Yang Gong is the face as usual, pouring a little bit is not moved, is not your heart, is made of iron and stone?”

Yang Rong put aside the pen, will be the town paper betting just vote to draw up the proposal, only then looked up and said: “I have heard a story, said a poor woman in a rich family to do labor, see that the rich family died a child, the main mother bawling, grief, the poor woman to see, confused, then to the rich woman said: but is dead a child, why such grief? Bury the child and have another one next year.”

Hu Guang’s brow furrowed into a Chuan character as he listened.

Yang Rong, however, looked at Hu Guang in a pleasant manner and said: ”I am a native of Fujian, which has many mountains and little land, and the land is also very barren, and from the time I can remember, all I can remember are the years of disasters. Luckily, my family is still well off. My grandfather, also a scholar, at that time was still the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty heard of my grandfather’s great name, wanted to enlist my grandfather as an official, but my grandfather was categorically refused, until Emperor Gao of the Great Ancestor opened the country, my grandfather said to our children and grandchildren, the world is going to be peaceful, and my children and grandchildren can be an official.”

After a pause, Yang Rong then said, “When my grandfather was here, he taught me to see the poor families around me more often to increase my knowledge. I have seen that those poor families have only a few days a year when they have enough to eat. Do you know why the poor woman is not so sympathetic, and wondered why the rich woman was so sad when her son died? It is not that the daughter of a poor family has no human feelings, it is really such a thing, her life, she has long seen strange.”

“In this woman’s opinion, ten children were born, died of disease or because the mother could not squeeze milk to starve to death countless, two or three can survive is already lucky. And starving people, suffered a catastrophe, will see all around are white bones, this year dead parents, the next year dead husband, and after a few years, dead one after another children, such things …… is really more common, so she can not understand the rich woman died son so sad, but also common sense. ”

Hu Guang listened, still frowning, he came from the land of fish and rice like Jiangxi, but could not empathize. However, there were a few points of empathy for what Yang Rong had told him.

Only Yang Rong smiled and said, “Let’s say today, didn’t His Majesty say that, going down to the West, so many people’s husbands died, so many people’s fathers died, so many people’s sons died. But we are in the temple, how many people born out of pity? But you see to understand Jinyin dead son, will be sorry for it, visible Hu Gong you ah, also may not be hate human life as grass, just because …… you resonate with Jinyin.”

Yang Rong paused, and then said: “I am in the Wen Yuan Pavilion, every day to see this Zaojiao reported, are the state capitals of famine, natural disasters, man-made disasters, plague, a small Zaojiao, how many people died? Hey …… if you really want to be sentimental, I’m afraid that every day to cry in this public room can not. The so-called charity not in charge of soldiers, righteousness not in charge of money, love not to establish things, good not for the official. Instead of thinking about these, not as good as the disposal of zhangshi, can be less dead a count one it, you and I are the university scholar, how can a person life and death and messed up the mind it.”

Hu Guang sighed, “Just as well, I can’t say anything about you.”

Yang Rong, however, said, “It s just that Hu Gong …… Now that the son of Xie Gong is dead, you should still plan for your own daughter, and set up another marriage contract …… or not.”

Hu Guang couldn’t make up his mind and hesitated.

Yang Rong then added: “Do not always will be the name and religion of the matter, look too heavy, we are not corrupt Confucian, more should not take their own daughter’s life, to bo a chastity house of cards.”

Hu Guang then nodded and said, “I’ll go back and persuade.”

Yang Rong said, “How do you feel about this case?”

Only then did Hu Guang come to his senses, “Old me was never expected …… that Liu Wenjun ……”

Yang Rong said: “Liu Wenjun this person, is a cocoon. But what I read is, involved in this matter, not only Liu Wenjun one person, Liu Wenjun good name, although he only got one hundred and ten thousand taels of silver, but I’m thinking …… that I’m afraid that many of the treasures, is as a tool for him to sell his name and reputation! This cheap sale out of things, I am afraid that there are a lot of …… are related to the Shilin.”

Hu Guang narrowed his eyes and said, “If so, I am afraid that this matter …… will not be simple.”

Yang Rong said, “also, this is the matter of the brocade guards, Hu Gong these days, or do not have any personal relations with people, if someone visits, do not leave mercy, all block back.”

Hu Guang looked at Yang Rong admiringly and said, “Well, I’m afraid that some old friends will come to ask for help, so don’t get involved.”

“Marquis, Marquis ……”

At this time, Chen Li hurriedly sought out Zhang Anshi.

He smiled bitterly and said: ”Several of the warehouses caught fire, let people go to check, only to realize that, after all, they are all treasures, but also a lot of people died, are some merchants and fellows, and the accountant ……

“These people’s news, but is well-informed, one has a dog’s nose, the palace side of the wind, previously purchased the treasure goods of several merchants and fellows people, etc., will immediately die. Many warehouses are on fire ……”

Zhang Anshi said with emotion, “Into his mother, sure enough these people are not simple.”

“Is this still being pursued?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Of course we should pursue it, if we don’t, what does His Majesty keep you for?”

Chen Li looked embarrassed, “Yes, yes, yes, shame on you.”

Zhang Anshi said, “But …… the side of the rebellious party should not relax. Is there any news from Mounan?”

“It hasn’t come yet.” Chen Li laughed bitterly, “I was just thinking, why is there no news so far?”

Zhang Anshi then said, “Then let’s wait a little longer.”

When the news of the malpractice case came out, the whole capital was abuzz with people talking about it.

Of course, there are many people who pity Xie Jin.

This matter really has nothing to do with Heijin, but the result is to harm Heijin’s son.

It’s just that that’s what the readers care about, but for the merchants, it’s clearly not what they care about.

I heard that suddenly many warehouses caught fire.

It turned out to be the original acquisition of the treasure goods of the firm, suddenly not only up and down the people are dead, and even the hoard of warehouses, as well as the accounts, are all put to the torch.

This time …… the original spices that were purchased by those 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver, the price directly skyrocketed.

Merchants and merchants are excited to participate in the second day of the auction, but who expected …… Qixia s auction house …… because Xie Gong died his son, the first seven days have not yet passed, directly closed down the business.

“Damn it, this black-hearted thief surnamed Zhang, what has he to do with the death of a child? He sad what? This treasure goods in the hands, obviously want to increase the price.”

“Yeah, yeah, made me run for nothing.”

“The hell knows what price the precious goods are going to go up to in these few days. Hey ……”

“Those who had previously taken the spice shot had made a fortune.”

A group of people refused to disperse outside the auction house, and there were quite a few people jumping and shouting curses.

There are also people who are happy and smiling, people shot spices on the first day, originally wanted to take a chance today, so, can not hide the joy, grinning, almost saying that the son of the Lord of the solution died well, died a wonderful.

“Master ……”

Someone had arrived in a hurry at a small mansion in Sukiya.

This mansion against the river, from the second floor looking down, you can see the river turbulence, today the water is fast, see the boat in the river floating, leaning against the window can not help but cough.

“Cough up …… cough up ……”

“Master, something big happened in the palace today.”

“I already know.” The man sighed and said, “Fast and furious, Zhu Di is really like Zhu Yuanzhang.”

“I’ve heard that the Jin Yiwei, now, has gone out in all directions. In addition to that …… there is Xie Jin ……”

“I know about Xie Jin.” This person said faintly: “Xie Jin this person, interest smoldering, Zhu Di is to see him this point, the more kill his son, the more he refuses to let go, but will be peaceful some. There is a kind of person in this world, ahem …… if you respect him, courtesy, he will look down on you. But if you knock him, kill his son, he will be obsequious! And not only that, will be careful to serve. This defense of the road, Zhu Di is playing to understand.”

“But what about this case?”

The man closed his eyes and was silent for half a second before he said, ”These readers in Jiangnan, their tempers still haven’t changed! It was like this back then, and it’s still like this now! It was like this when Zhu Yuanzhang was around, and when it comes to Zhu Di, they are still like this!”

“These people, can not become a big thing, but can be bad, now I’m afraid that the whole dynasty, all the civil and military, all to everyone’s own danger.”

“In that case, we ……”

At this time, the man finally opened his eyes again, with streams of light floating in his eyes, and said under his breath, “It s time for us …… to make our move.”

“Do it?”

“Not that ……”

“This is a time and a time.” This person sighed: “If Zhu Di did not notice us, in fact …… there is no need to take the risk, we can continue to slowly infiltrate, the so-called with the wind into the night, moist and silent.”

Said here, this person laughed and said: “pity ah pity …… ultimately still show the horse foot, in fact …… I really do not want to Zhu Di in the time, and the enemy, Zhu Di is not an oil lamp, we if we act, there may not be a complete chance of winning.”

After a pause, the man lowered his head, but then said, “But …… people are like this, once bitten by the other side, they will definitely try to find our traces, one year can not be, there are two years, two years can not be, there are three years and five years, sooner or later we will be found. In that case …… then …… let s stir up this water. Risky is a little risky, but there is no law.”

“It turns out that the master came to Nanjing to plan such a big event, but I just don’t know how …… to do it.”

This person said faintly: “prepared a few secret letters, quietly sent out, these days, I have been observing Zhu Di’s whereabouts, Zhu Di this person …… can not be underestimated, of course, he is not without shortcomings, his biggest shortcoming …… is too confident in himself.”

After saying that, the man’s eyes narrowed and he said in a single word, “Utilizing these is enough to make him die without a burial place.”

“In that case …… then master ……”

This person smiled: ”You don’t need to say anything, put out our signal, let everyone gang, each make preparations, time …… I’ll set this two days, now …… In short, once determined, must not re I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to make it. You see the boat on the river? Against the current boat, not to advance or retreat.”

“Yes, I understand.” The person who spoke, made a bow and quickly retreated.

“Cough cough cough ……” The man couldn’t help coughing, he frowned, still looking at the river, couldn’t help but smile bitterly, murmured, “I don’t want to take a risk, but… . by now, have to take a risky move can’t be, the deer die who hand …… depends on these few days.”

…………

“Junji, ah Junji, you must not have guessed, it is really too tragic, come on, let me do some math for you, his son, in fact, is not his son, it is the son of his bookkeeper. And his bookkeeper, too, is not his bookkeeper, but his father’s son, his brother. On the surface, that is his son, in fact, he is his nephew, no …… can not be completely considered his nephew, after all, this Liu Jin’s mother, or Liu Wenjun’s wife, which rounded up, in fact, both his nephew, but also half of his son, you now understand it?”

Zhu Zhanji covered his ears, “I don’t want to hear it.”

Zhang Anshi pulled away Zhu Zhanji’s hand: “You first listen to A uncle finished, A uncle and you say these, is to tell you, a family …… can flesh and blood, how not easy ah, you see …… others, uncle may not be their own pro Uncle, nephews may not be their own nephews, only uncle and you are not the same, we are pro!”

“Look, everyone says you look like me. What’s this?”

Zhu Zhanji opened his big watery eyes and said, “I don’t want to hear it.”

Zhang Anshi sighed, “Ai, it is A-uncle who spoils you too much, you are not the former Zhu Zhanji anymore, the former Zhu Zhanji, only knows to heart A-uncle! Also, in the future, we will have to be strangers …… I am going to tell my sister.”

Zhu Zhanji: “……”

“A-Uncle, A-Uncle ……” Zhu Zhanji tugged Zhang Anshi’s sleeve and said pitifully, “A-Uncle, why do you always need others to coax you?”

Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and said, “What is this word, this is to teach you more to repair a nephew virtue, do not be heartless, A uncle always put you in the heart, a hundred busy, but also come to find you, but look at yourself ……”

Zhu Zhanji put on a hopeless look and drooped his head and said, “Fine, fine, everything is at the mercy of A-Uncle.”

Zhang Anshi was satisfied, a hairy child, I Zhang Anshi still can’t control him?

At that moment, and taught Zhu Zhanji some, before cheerfully back to Qixia.

These days …… because Xie Jin died his son, did not have the first seven, so Zhang Anshi was happy to be free.

At this time, he went out, are with dozens of guards. These guards, are carefully selected, do not dare to say that a fight ten, six or seven people also roughly not in trouble.

Zhang Anshi liked the feeling of security.

When he returned to Qixia, Zhu Jin and Chen Li two, but at this time, came in a hurry: “Marquis, Marquis …… Desert South …… came letters.”

At these words, Zhang Anshi immediately shook his spirit.

He immediately said, “Fetch me and see.”

After receiving the letterhead, both Zhu Jin and Chen Li stretched their necks, wanting to see what was in the epistle.

Zhang Anshi glared at them and said angrily, “Go to one side, such a confidential matter, is it for you to look at it whenever you want? What if you two are rebels?”

Zhu Jin and Chen Li were both happy, they were relaxed and didn’t care at all about Zhang Anshi’s reprimand.

Mainly on weekdays scolded more, at first quite difficult, but slowly get used to it, and then a little pondering, the marquis scolded him like this, this is really him as a beloved ah, if not a beloved, can say to his face that he is a rebellious party?

If it’s true that the Counterparty, it’s definitely not saying anything.

Zhang Anshi did not know what these two guys were thinking about in their minds, and only concentrated on looking down at the letterhead, and the more he looked at it, the more his expression became grave.

He couldn’t help but say, “How can …… how can ……”

Saying that, Zhang Anshi coldly looked at the letterhead and remained silent for a long time.

“Marquis, what is it?”

Only then did Zhang Anshi jerk his head up, glancing at Zhu Jin and Chen Li and saying, “It’s really a matter of stepping through the iron shoes and not looking for a place to get it, and finally …… there is an eyebrow to all of this. Just ……”

Chen Li shot up, he had been like a headless fly these days, his heart was really suffocating.

He this within the thousand households of the thousand households, now accumulated a lot of credit, if this time and then take a head of the rebellious party, I am afraid …… that the future is really unlimited.

“I am honored to follow the Marquis’ orders.” Chen Li said without hesitation.

Zhang Anshi looked deeply at Chen Li, his face unusually solemn said, “The inner thousand households, the outside is tight and the inside is loose, this rebellious party …… has a lot of ears and eyes, it is not trivial, we are a little bit out of place, I am afraid that he will be able to detect it, at that time, if we run away again …… can be a foregone conclusion.”

“So, from now on, you act as if nothing has happened, and continue to pursue what you should. Externally, don’t make any difference.”

Chen Li had always been obedient to Zhang Anshi, and when he heard Zhang Anshi’s command, he didn’t ask too many questions, so he quickly nodded his head and said, “Yes, yes.”

Zhang Anshi at this time a turn of the gaze, then glanced at Zhu Jin: “You these days …… obediently go to do your auction, solve Jinyin son’s head of the seven, the auction or to auction, we have this set of drama to do in the end, you know, we are staring at others, they are also staring at us. ”

“Yes!” Zhu Jin knew that the matter was serious and didn’t dare to be playful.

“My brothers …… are calling me. I made an appointment to fry fish with them these two days, and I am idle on weekdays, so what should be done is what should be done. The manpower of the inner thousand households do not have to move …… think about it, or we are a few brothers to do it.”

Chen Li heard, his heart was cool, thousand households do not move, this credit is not to be discounted?

However, he didn’t dare to talk too much and still said, “Everything is at the command of the Marquis.”

…………

In a small mansion against the river.

“Master …… snooped, three days later …… the auction is going to start again. I heard that this time, a lot of people are rubbing their fists, just waiting to earn a fortune from this precious cargo.”

“Coughing ……” The man’s cough worsened again, his spirit wilting as he let out a long breath before saying, “Really? It seems that everything is as I expected.”

The man pondered for a moment, “Put out the word, just on that day …… mobilize all the manpower, Bi Gong a battle!”

“Yes. It’s just that master …… aren’t we …… able to go back to Mobei?”

This person shook his head: “My lungs are more and more difficult, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to travel far, not to mention …… if I leave the capital, I am afraid that I can not rest assured that this is the best opportunity, once the opportunity is missed, I am afraid that it is all a loss, we have worked hard to get today, it will be all in vain, wait a minute, wait a minute more. ”

The visitor was a little hesitant, worriedly glanced at the man: “Once the accident, the capital must be a big mess, the绶归獞鍥涘, Nanjing City and Qixia are only afraid to blockade, when ……”

The man smiled miserably, “Who would have trouble with a handless scholar with a disease, in their eyes, anyone can be a rebellious party, but only people …… like me can not.”

“In that case, then …… the little man will go and summon the message.”

This person nodded, and then …… paced to the window, still looking at the monstrous river, could not help but say, “The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, a thousand years of wind and streams of characters ……”

His voice grew softer and softer until it was interrupted by another cough, which ended abruptly.

…………

November 9th.

It was freezing cold, but at this time, Sukia was enthusiastic.

Countless merchants and businessmen converged on the event.

A great malpractice, coupled with the previous auction of the spice merchants made a fortune, prompting many merchants, all want to come together to join in the fun.

This early in the morning.

Zhu Di, however, called Yiluoha: “The first seven days of Xie Jin’s son’s life, has it passed?”

Also lost ha bitter smile, now in the palace outside the palace, are talking about the first seven of the son of Xie Jin, but it seems that not many people really care about that dead son of Xie Jin, but put their minds on the …… cough ……

Also Lostha said, “Just passed.”

“Into his mother’s, causing me to wait for so long, if I had known, a few days earlier to kill, there is no need for such a lot of things.”

Also lost ha dry laugh: “This …… words …… hey …… ah, your majesty today the weather has turned cold, slave girl to add a shirt for your majesty. ”

Zhu Di shook his head, “When I was in the desert, I wasn’t afraid of the cold, and it’s not even cold yet, what’s the hurry? The auction is going to start today, right?”

“Yes, the slave girl heard that today …… Qixia is only afraid to make a big fortune.”

“Of course I know I’m going to make a fortune.”

“No, slave girl’s meaning is ……” Yiluoha paused, “slave girl heard people say, now the treasure goods …… price skyrocketed, alone that spice, it rose to fifty thousand taels of silver for a thousand pounds ……”

Zhu was surprised, “Things are rare and expensive?”

“Yes, I heard that Zheng Gonggong brought the treasure goods, burned a lot, even if left behind, and now no one dares to take out to sell, the price of this treasure goods, so it is the sound of the price of the big rise, many people talk privately, if today …… someone is willing to buy goods at a high price, are looking forward to …. … take this to make a fortune.”

Zhu Di laughed and said, “You this guy …… how all day long the brain is silver.”

Also lost ha not dare to say that the top is good and the bottom is effective.

However, she only said in an aggrieved manner, “Yes, the slave girl really deserves to die, her mind is full of thoughts of that ungodly thing.”

Zhu, however, added, “In that case, go to Qixia.”

“Yes, the slave girl is ready.”

“Ready?” Zhu was surprised and said, “You’ve counted on me wanting to go and see what’s going on.”

Also lost ha said:” other times …… his majesty may not go, but today such a big day, his majesty how willing to dry waiting, his majesty temperament like fire, when the time of the Jingdan, this left and right guards have not yet begun to charge, his majesty is the first first first flying horse rushed to kill into the enemy line, always will everyone scared half dead. ”

Zhu Di heard him talk about his own glorious past in the beginning, could not help but laugh: “If today really made a big fortune, I reward you …… well …… reward you five hundred taels of silver.”
