9429 Chapter 262 Arrow on the String

Strictly speaking, Du Fu and Fang Zheng are actually the same type of people, and they are both like Qianfen Moon Scarf... ! ! (Reprinted in this book) Domineering and domineering, and the people are not as good as they are, but at least they are not good at robbing them, and ordinary people dare not provoke them.

It’s a pity that Du Xuan was a little bit sad today. He provoked Fang Zheng, and with Fang Zheng’s temperament, he would naturally not be sympathetic with him. For the sake of being a playboy, he let him go.

In the playboy circle in the capital, Fang Zheng's reputation was quite feared by the playboys. What they feared was not Fang Zheng's contribution to the court. But Fang Zheng was too despicable and shameless. Once he provoked him or was provoked by him, the consequences were very serious. It was inevitable to lose money, and it was possible to lose everything. The Wu family, which ranked second in the capital, was a very typical example. When the Wu family's son provoked Fang Zheng, the consequence was that the Wu family's property began to shrink seriously. Now the Wu family is not even a third-rate businessman in the capital.

Today, Du Xuan led his servants to chase Fang Zheng and attacked Fang Zheng. According to Fang Zheng's statement, he was in trouble.

Thinking of this, Du Xuan was so scared that his face was gone. He opened his frightened eyes and collapsed on the ground and panted heavily. At first, he wanted to show his heroism in front of the woman, but now he no longer cared about making a fool in front of his beloved woman. He looked at Fang Zheng in fear and begging. He couldn't stop trembling and trembling. He understood very well that Fang Zheng was right, he caused trouble for his father and his family, and the disaster seemed to be quite serious.

"Caomin" Zhuomin didn't know that His Highness Fu and Lord Fang were here, please, "Du Xuan asked for help but not out after a long time. He knelt on the ground with a pale face. He was not used to saying things begging for mercy in his life, so he never knew what to say.

Fang Zheng squatted down and smiled happily, "Please please, what are you asking for? Are you stuttering?"

Du Xuan shook his head hurriedly: "I know, no, no."

Fang Zheng frowned unhappily: "No, no, no, no, and said no, look at your stuttering so seriously, why don't you admit it?"

Du Xuan nodded again: "Yes" Yes, I'm stuttering."

Fang Zheng smiled with satisfaction and thrust his chin at the woman beside him: "Your wife?

The woman was uneasy and grabbed Du Xuan's costume tightly, trying to hide behind him.

Du Xuan glanced at the woman, shook his head and said, "No."

"Your concubine?"

“Or, not.”

"You're a lover?"

Du Xuan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "That's right." She was Fang Zheng's smiling handsome face on Qinhuai River Huahang suddenly sank, and she snorted coldly: "In order to please Jie Yao, do you want to beat us up? Do you think we are wronged?"

Du Xuan's face collapsed and said in a mournful way: "Mr. Fang, I'm wrong. Caomin has no idea about Mount Tai. I hope that if my father is the same minister as you, please let me go."

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Let you go? Do you know what the charge is to beat the prince and the imperial court officials?"

Du Xuan nodded dejectedly.

Fang Zheng smiled and changed into anger in a flash: "Also, your servant chased me just now, and made me jump up and jump up and flee in a panic. I am very embarrassed. What do you think of doing this?"

When everyone heard this, you feel chills. You are shameless. You run around and you have the nerve to count this account on others?

Du Xuan was not stupid, and he responded quickly, "Pay! Caomin is willing to pay the money, which shocked the adults Fang Zheng changed his color: "Pay money? Is this a matter that can be solved by silver? King Fu is the prince's honor. This official is also a second-rank official. Do you think that if you beat us, just pay a few dollars? Everyone in the world should be like you, beat the imperial officials. If you pay some money, it will be fine. Then how can we officials live? We worked hard to be the imperial officials for the purpose of being beaten? Xiao, Du Xuan's face became pale and miserable! Even the money was not settled. It seems that Lord Fang was determined to punish me. Could it be that he had made a grudge with his father in the court, so he wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge? In this way, the big thing is not good!

Fang Zheng was still talking: "Don't think that it's great if you have a few stinky money. What's the pride? My family's business is so big. When did you see me showing off and bragging? Being a low-key person, don't understand this principle. What qualifications do you have to be a playboy? Many things in the world cannot be solved by money! Yes, how much money do you plan to pay?"

"Ah?" Du Xuan was stunned. He didn't react at all, staring at Fang Zheng with a dull look.

Fang Zheng frowned unhappily: "This unlucky child! Why are you stupid? Didn't you say you would pay for money? You pay for it! Why are you still stunned?"

Du Xuan was a little helpless by the twists and turns in Fang Zheng's words. His mind was slow to move. He really couldn't keep up with the jumping thinking of Lord Fang. However, he still understood Fang Zheng's last sentence, so Du Xuan quickly took out a stack of silver notes from his arms, pulled out a few of them, looked at Fang Zheng's face, pulled out a few more, and squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying, saying, "I'll accept this little meaning, please accept it as a grass-roots person, assuming that it was a pity for the adults."

Fang Zheng took the silver notes, looked at the remaining stack in Du Xuan's hand, and said unhappily:

"That's all?"

Du Xuan was stunned and quickly pulled out a few more pieces. He stuffed them into Fang Zheng's hand, and the smile on his face almost turned into a crying look.

Fang Zheng's face was slightly slower, and he put the silver notes in his arms. He smiled and patted Du Xuan on the shoulder and said:

"Ruzi Kejiao also said that, turning his head to look at Master Chen and said, "Master, that's what he said?"

Master Chen saw the whole process of Fang Zheng's extortion. He snorted in dissatisfaction when he heard this, rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Fang Zheng helped Du Xuan up from the ground and smiled and said, "Young Master Du is so polite. How can I be so embarrassed about this? You know, I have always been a kind and kind person with a small misunderstanding. We don't need to mention it anymore, haha."

When Du Xuan heard this, he felt like he was given a general amnesty and hurriedly thanked him in a cold sweat.

Just as Du Xuan hurriedly said goodbye to Fang Zheng and others. The woman who accompanied him helped him downstairs, Shi Zheng suddenly touched the lower body and said slowly, "A Japanese official from Ming Dynasty went to the palace to visit Du Shangshu. When the young master returned, he helped him to speak."

"thump!"

Du Xuan fell to the ground in a daze.

Du Xuan looked a little angry and got up, not bothering to wipe his head full of sweat, reached into his arms, took out all the silver notes and buttons on his body, and couldn't even look at it. He stuffed all his head into Fang Zheng's hand and cried, "Mr. Fang" No, Mr. Fang! You are my dear uncle! Please, let's put the grass people in your arms? The grass people dare not."

Fang Zheng waved his hand modestly and smiled: "The words are so serious. The words are so serious. Haha, what is the virtue of this official? How dare you be your dear uncle? You'd better ask Ling Zun for his opinion first."

Holding the silver note in his hand, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Du is really a generous person. Since Mr. Du is busy with official duties, I will not disturb you. Master. Please come back now."

Du Xuan then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Fang Zheng in surprise and walked downstairs carefully.

Fang Zheng roughly counted the silver notes in his hand, and after counting, he couldn't help but feel happy: "This guy has a lot of money." Damn it! It's tens of thousands of taels, much richer than me."

The fat man walked up and smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Fang, I made another note today."

Master Chen frowned and said in a deep voice: "Fang Zheng, your x" is an ill-gotten fortune."

Fang Zheng hurriedly hid the silver notes behind him and smiled and said, "The Master is so serious, why is it an ill-gotten fortune? This is the hard-earned money that the students rush up and down to escape their lives."

"Skewer! Skewer!" Master Chen was helpless and stomped his feet in anger.

Suddenly Fang Zheng stopped smiling, walked to the window, frowned and stared at Du Xuan's back, and was stunned.

The fat man said curiously: "Brother Fang, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Zheng touched his chin and thought seriously. After a while, he said, "I was thinking that Du Shangshu was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and must have been greedy for a lot of money. Since he is so rich, we might as well just send someone to kidnap Du Xuan, and then write a blackmail letter to Du Shangshu, asking him for a hundred or eight hundred thousand taels of silver."

The fat man and Mr. Chen were shocked when they heard this: "Brother Fang! Never!"

"Fang Zheng! You" You are simply lawless. You are so angry that I'm so angry! How could I teach you a student like you?"

Seeing that the two of them strongly opposed it, Fang Zheng was not inconvenient to insist anymore. He smiled and said, "Oh, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but Fang Zheng murmured to himself: "Catch the thief first, capture the king, well, I'd better tie Du Shangshu. This is both straightforward and direct. If you don't believe that old guy won't give you money."

"thump!"

"Mr. Teacher! What's wrong with you? Wake up. Wake up!"

Jiang Jian, outside Yangzhou Prefecture City.

Located in an inconspicuous courtyard by the canal, flowers bloom in spring. The weeping willows planted along the river outside the courtyard have gradually drawn out new branches. New leaves on the branches are towering, hanging down the river beach in an orderly manner, dotted with a green patch of Jiangnan.

The courtyard is very ordinary, so ordinary that people outside will not take a look at it when passing by. The old painted doors and mottled and shabby walls are everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. It is as ordinary as a drop of water that flows into the sea and will not attract anyone's attention at all.

In the courtyard is a house like a hall. The floor of the house is paved with white marble, smooth and solemn. The empty and spacious vestibule, a luxurious and thick bead curtain, divides it into both front and back parts.

Yang Cheng knelt honestly in the front hall, lowered his head and looked down, and did not dare to show up.

After Hu Yunsheng failed in his mission and was executed by his master, Yang Cheng took over his position. Like Hu Yunsheng, he was a dog crawling at the master's feet. They were both loyal. The difference was that Hu Yunsheng was a useless dog, and the master was very disappointed with him, so Hu Yun died.

But Yang Cheng is a dog that is more fierce than Hu Yunsheng. He is more cruel and cunning than Hu Yunsheng. When the Lord ordered the flag, he would do whatever he could to complete the order delivered by the Lord and never stop until he died.

At this moment, he knelt in the front hall, silently waiting for the question from the Lord behind the curtain.

"How many people are there in Yangzhou City?" asked the Lord behind the curtain, his voice low and calm as water.

"When I returned to the master, those shadows came in batches. The first batch was about thirty people, dressed as merchants, coachmen, and businessmen. They visited the city as soon as they entered the city. The movements were very small and difficult to detect. After a few days, another group of shadows came to Yangzhou City, about fifty or sixty people, and they also played various roles, moving around in Yangzhou City without any trace. Now even the Yangzhou prefect’s office has been arranged under their eyeliner. "It must be Zhao Jun confessing Hu Yunsheng, which attracted the attention of the shadow, and they found them with clues.

Yang Cheng, let everyone go away from Yangzhou without leaving any clues. If Fang Zheng wants to follow the clues and find me, the mastermind behind the scenes, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and let them go in vain!”

"yes!"

"What is the situation in the capital now? After a long time, a low voice sounded, and the coldness was thrilling.

"When I returned to the lord, chaos had appeared in the capital. There were rumors that the emperor had the intention of being a sacrificial crown, so the princes were moving around to win over ministers, curry favor with the emperor, and build momentum to fight for the position of the new crown prince."

"Hmph!" The Lord behind the curtain sneered, "Do those trash think it's so easy to be the prince, just pull a few ministers? How is the prince's reaction now?"

"The prince is calm on the surface, but in fact he has begun to prepare secretly. The situation is very unfavorable to him. The subordinates speculate that the prince is likely to collude with the border army and the new army he has privately trained in the near future, lead the army to force the palace, and force the emperor to pass the throne. "Did you find out where the new army he has privately trained in the present?"

"I am incompetent. At present, I only know the specific location of the army in the outskirts of the capital. The number of people and the degree of training are not known. "Investigate as soon as possible, the more detailed you know, the better. I want to see how much strength the prince has in his hands. I hope this crown prince, who is about to be deposed, will not disappoint me too much, haha."

"Yes!" Yang Cheng kowtowed and bowed.

"What are the changes in King Fu and Fang Zheng recently?"

"King Fu lived in seclusion and was busy with his head and worked with the clamps. He rarely had contact with ministers. However, his subordinates had discovered that Fang Zheng was helping him with the matter of making friends with ministers. Fang Zheng gathered a group of ministers to do business together on the grounds of opening up the Helan Mountain trade route and relieving the worries of the king, so as to achieve his goal of winning over the ministers for King Fu. "Open up the Helan Mountain trade route?" The owner behind the curtain was obviously stunned, and then sneered:

"This person is quite clever. He thought of this way to cover up his ears and steal the bell. Humph! Is there any?"

"Also, a few days ago, he was ordered to take over the city defense army. When he was patrolling the camp, he used the excuse of contradicting the main general to kill Shen Xin, deputy general of the city defense army, to establish his authority. Shen Xin is the prince's confidant. According to the detailed report from the prince's mansion, the prince's face turned pale after learning about the incident. However, he did not say a word, and he never mentioned this matter again. The other party was still polite and the person behind the curtain remained silent for a long time. Then he whispered: "The prince is going to raise an army. Maybe in the past few days, you will send everyone to the capital. Gather information and report it to everyone regardless of the big or small matters."

"Yes!" Yang Cheng responded respectfully, then his lips stammered, looking hesitant.

"Do you have something to say?"

Yang Cheng was shocked and knocked his head to the ground, saying respectfully: "Forgive my subordinates to talk too much. Lord, the capital is now in chaos. If the Lord wants to do something big, it is a great opportunity! The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. As long as the prince joins his troops, the Lord can raise the banner of the king and summon all the troops to surround the prince."

"Shut up! What do you know! The situation is not clear yet. If I acted in a hurry, wouldn't it be like those idiots in Beijing?"

"I'm talking too much, I'm fine!" Yang Cheng immediately slapped himself twice, then knocked his head deep on the floor, motionless.

The front hall fell silent again. After a long time, the owner behind the curtain spoke: "I guess the emperor does have the intention of being a free crown prince, and the candidate for the new crown prince is probably the always honest and honest King Fu, Yang Cheng. Send someone to the capital to pay close attention to the movements of King Fu and Fang Zheng, find an opportunity to assassinate King Fu. Humph! I really want to see, when the emperor knows that the new crown prince he wants has been killed, I don't know what to react? Will he die of anger? Haha, hahahaha."

The laughter was hoarse, like the roar of the night owls, making people shudder.

Yang Cheng held back his fear and respectfully answered.

Capital, Prince's Mansion.
