Chapter 202: Please make a shining appearance
"That Lord Huang, I heard that when you were in the exam, you passed the Huiyuan, and when you took the palace exam, the article was not the same as the champion, but you were young and good-looking, and Your Majesty ranked you third?"
Huang Zicheng is very embarrassed, it is said that he looks good and is young, this is an advantage, he should be given the champion, who made Lao Zhu a twisted person, but he likes to be old and heavy, and the little white-faced Huang Zicheng with a greasy head and a pink face can only be relegated to the third place Tanhualang.
"Lord Liu, what are you doing with all this past?" Huang Zicheng coughed.
Liu Chun smiled: "I just want to say that adults have the best talent, and their acting skills must be good." ”
"Acting?" Huang Zicheng was stunned, "What is it?" ”
Liu Chun is also quite worried, how to explain it, "It's pretending, it's two faces, playing another person." ”
"What?"
Huang Zicheng was frightened and hurriedly defended: "Lord Liu, what do you mean? These days, I have been following your arrangement, and I will do whatever you tell me to do. I don't have any dealings with Suzhou merchants, I'm an innocent scholar, you, you can't frame me! ”
Huang Zicheng's voice changed, and his face turned pale with fright.
Liu Chun hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, that's not what you mean, Lord Huang, it's like this, the concubine Li Qi invites you to the banquet, I want to arrange a person, let him listen to the conversation between the two of you, and be a witness!" ”
"Oh!"
Huang Zicheng's eyes rolled and he figured it out.
"Oh, Lord Liu, you are so high! I'm wondering if I should go. If I fall for Li Qi, it will not be good, if someone testifies to me, what else do I have to be afraid of. But this person has to be weighty, not an ordinary person. ”
Liu Chunqiang held back a smile, "Lord Huang, don't worry, he must be enough." If this person can't do it, there won't be enough weight in the world - how do you let people get mixed in at the current threshold, do you have a way? ”
Huang Zicheng thought for a while, "This is not difficult, I heard that Li Qi is a vassal of Fengya, and he asked me to go to Huilan Courtyard this time, which is the most famous ...... in Suzhou Green House! ”
As soon as he mentioned Qinglou, Huang Zicheng remembered what happened to Beiping, not to mention how greasy he was. However, Suzhou is different from Beiping, there are many literati here, the industry is huge, and it is standardized, and there will definitely be no situation where a woman from a good family pretends to be a prostitute.
"Lord Liu, I don't know yet, what kind of person is the witness you are talking about?"
"Ah, it's an old man, over sixty."
"Oh, that's better." Huang Zicheng said with a smile: "I just need to tell Li Qi that he doesn't like women to serve, let him find the most inconspicuous, stupid, and stupid old man to serve and drink, no!" ”
Well said!
Liu Chun was about to laugh, he peeked behind the screen, as if he could catch a glimpse of a murderous aura that rushed directly to Huang Zicheng.
Liu Chun hurriedly said: "Lord Huang's method is really good, I'll arrange it." ”
Huang Zicheng also instructed, "You have to find a way to say hello to Huilan Courtyard, it's not difficult to stuff it into a miscellaneous job, just say that he feeds horses, brushes the toilet, and can do anything!" ”
Liu Chun nodded again and again, he hurriedly sent Huang Zicheng out, no, he couldn't help it!
When Huang Zicheng left, Liu Chun turned his head and returned to the study, and found that Lao Zhu had already walked out from behind the screen, standing there, gritting his teeth!
"Huang Zicheng, I gave him the third place, I should let him go home and clean the toilet and feed the livestock!" Zhu Yuanzhang trembled with anger, and pointed at Liu Chun with his hand, "Little rabbit cub, you are not a good thing, what are you laughing at, do you want to see my jokes?" Believe it or not, I'll let them cut you up right now and send you to the palace to wash the toilet! ”
Lao Zhu is as furious as a dinosaur, with teeth and claws, and he is furious! Liu Chun trembled, he was really afraid that Lao Zhu would go crazy, but on the other hand, he really wanted to laugh, and finally saw that Lao Zhu was deflated, and it was refreshing......
"Your Majesty, please finish listening to the minister." Liu Chun said: "Li Qi must be looking for Huang Zicheng to make peace." In his words, he can reveal a lot of secrets of the Li family's father and son, such as why they set up Suzhou Qianzhuang and what their plans are...... If His Majesty is unwilling to go to this matter, then leave it to Zhang Dingbian, no one knows him anyway. It's just that Zhang Dingbian seems to have a grudge against Li Shanchang, and the minister is afraid that what he said may not be the truth...... All in all, whether to go or not to go is all in the whims of His Majesty. ”
After Liu Chun finished speaking, he stood there obediently.
The study fell silent, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not want to know what the hell Li Shanchang was fighting. It has been decades since the monarch and minister, Zhu Yuanzhang asked himself, he may not be able to see through Li Shanchang.
Now that it has come to the last moment, of course Lao Zhu can abolish the Li family and kill Li Shanchang. can be his first hero, just killing him in vain, it will only show that the emperor is incompetent.
And Li Shanchang is dead, and the matter may not be over, he has accumulated so much money and has such a huge power, will these remnants continue to make waves......
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more he felt that he should listen to it in person, but the problem was that it was too embarrassing to let him pretend to be a subordinate!
"Liu Chun, Li Qi didn't see me when he was a child, no matter his voice or appearance, I can't be deceived in front of him."
Lao Zhu still took the bait.
Liu Chun said: "Your Majesty, leave this matter to Zhang Dingbian, he said that he can do it." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered, he thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, he said viciously: "Liu Chun, I tell you, if you don't hear any useful news, I will screw your head off, if I disguise myself and this matter leaks out, I will let you be a eunuch in the palace for the rest of your life!" Aren't there three princes and three beauties waiting for you at the moment? When the time comes, I will let you face 3,000 beauties and wipe your tears every day! ”
……
"Lord Huang, look up for a long time!" Li Qi was dressed in a dark green silk robe, holding a fan sprinkled with gold, and a Hetian jade match hanging from his waist.
Maybe people will like the feeling of being a gentleman like jade.
It's just that he didn't expect that Huang Zicheng would wear a half-new cotton robe and a dogskin hat, as if he was a poor and sour talent, and the two met each other, which made Li Qi not embarrassed.
"Tanhualang is a big hero, like me, he has fallen inferior, ashamed, ashamed!" is worthy of being Li Shanchang's son, and he can really solve ridicule.
Huang Zicheng waved his hand, don't look at him cowardly in front of Liu Chun, that's because he has a handle to be grabbed by others, and in the face of others, Huang Zicheng is quite good.
"Li Juma, the palace is busy with official business, today it is for the sake of Ling Zun's face, so I specially came over to talk about it, and asked Li Juma to get straight to the point, don't go around in circles."
Li Qi saw Huang Zicheng's arrogant attitude, and the boss was unhappy in his heart, when my father was still in the court, you people didn't even deserve to lift my shoes, and you dared to pretend to be big in front of me, it's disgusting!
However, the hero didn't mention the courage of the year, and now his father is down, the four marquis have been arrested, and his father is also in danger.
"Lord Huang, don't be busy, I just invited the best violinist in Suzhou here, who is proficient in music, just give her some pointers."
Saying that, Li Qi invited Huang Zicheng to sit down, next to a light gauze curtain, someone twisted his fingers lightly, the sound of the piano was melodious, flowing from the fingertips, it was a mountain flowing water!
"Not bad indeed!" Huang Zicheng suddenly sank his face and shouted: "Enough! Li Yuma, the two of us are not bosom friends, and you don't have to use beauty to shake Huang's mind! I've suffered a loss once, and I won't eat it a second time, you're working in vain! ”
Huang Zicheng stood up, went straight to the front of the veil, pulled it with his hand, threw the veil on the ground, and then shouted angrily at the people inside: "Get out!" ”
The woman who played the piano was so frightened that she even threw the piano and ran out directly sobbing.
When Li Qi saw this scene, instead of getting angry, he laughed.
Huang Zicheng turned his head sharply and stared at him viciously.
"Lord Huang, don't get me wrong, your lord is so angry, it must be more than just right. In Beiping, adults suffer a lot of losses! ”
Huang Zicheng panted like a cow, "Li Luma, you just want Huang to make a fool of himself, right?" In this case, we will not speculate, and in the afternoon, I will announce that in Suzhou, the paper money of the money bank will be deactivated, and your money will become waste paper! ”
"Lord Huang!"
Li Qi stood up suddenly, "Why should we bother you to live or die!" I heard that someone from the capital came to Suzhou Mansion, and Lord Huang was ordered to do something to my bank. If I'm not mistaken, it's from the East Palace, right? ”
Huang Zicheng was noncommittal, and Li Qi continued: "If you can know the weakness of Qian Zhuang, it must be someone under Ru Taisu, this old man was friendly with Liu Ji and Song Lian back then, they want to take revenge, right?" ”
Huang Zicheng still didn't speak, Li Qi only guessed correctly, and continued: "Lord Huang, it's true that you are from the Taizimen, but you are not the same thing as those people in eastern Zhejiang, so why do you do things for them?" Lord Huang, you have suffered Liu Chun's loss, I think you should know that just one person is an official and no one can help him, it will not work. If you can raise your noble hand, our father and son, as well as the merchants and gentry of the entire Suzhou, will stand behind the adults, wave the flag and shout for the adults, and help the adults return to the prince's side! ”
Huang Zicheng listened silently, his heart was not shocked, really, he still wanted to laugh...... Li Qi's guess is actually very reasonable. It's just that it's far from the truth.
Perhaps Li Qi did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would attach so much importance to the issue of the bank. He did not send the Jinyi Guard, but asked Liu Chun, who was not in the officialdom, to come.
In this way, it was hidden from many people's ears and eyes, and Huang Zicheng suddenly made a difficulty, making Li Qi mistakenly think that he was a member of the prince's side, and he didn't want Jinyiwei to make meritorious contributions, and cooperated with Ru Taisu to make a big run.
In Li Qi's opinion, it is reasonable, but unfortunately, he is really unlucky.
Huang Zicheng suddenly smiled, "Li Yuma is really like watching the fire, even if what you say is right, but what do you have in mind?" ”
Li Qi smiled slightly, "Lord Huang, let's sit down and talk while eating." ”
"Okay!"
Huang Zicheng returned to his seat, Li Qi wanted to beckon the maid to serve, but his hand was halfway out, and he put it down again, so he could only say: "Lord Huang doesn't like it, then let's let me serve the bar!" ”
Huang Zicheng waved his hand, "How dare you work to drive a horse, to be honest, I suffered a woman's loss, I'm afraid!" I don't want to be cheated anymore. That's it, just call an honest subordinate at will, don't look for a smart one, it's better to be the kind that is old and stupid, can't say anything clearly, and won't leak out, right! ”
Li Qi laughed, "Lord Huang is really cautious, then good, let's go and call a groom over!" ”
