Chapter 563: What is an ally, what is a friend and a relative

Lu Feng's house outside the palace is located on the east side of Weijia Hutong in Xicheng, only five or six alleys away from Wu'anhou Hutong. Most of the people in this area are nobles, and it is extremely difficult to build a house on a piece of land, so the businessman who gave him at the beginning can be said to have invested a lot of money. Although it can't be like the Gonghou Uncle's Mansion, it is a gate with three rooms and five frames, and it is a courtyard set of courtyards in Yimen, but the regulations are not enough, and the people who build the house have to spend a little more thought.

But he likes to like it, and he only stores the gold and silver antiques and title deeds he receives here, and he doesn't often live outside. After all, several real eunuchs above didn't dare to show off, and he didn't dare to be too indulgent, but as long as he seized the opportunity to come out, he would have to enjoy a blessing. However, at this moment, he had no intention of viewing the luxurious furnishings in this room, and his body that was originally crooked on the couch had unconsciously sat up straight, and his hands and feet were completely stiff.

"You...... Are you saying that Liu Yongcheng sent someone to send a letter to the prince, and our family sent someone to intercept it? After recovering from that shock, he almost didn't think about it, he slammed his fist on the armrest, and shouted loudly, "Our family is not crazy, how can we do such a thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to ourselves!" Liu Yongcheng's old guy is really unaccustomed to it, and we really want to bring him down, but how can our family be stupid enough to use this method! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, isn't this looking for death? ”

"I heard the conversation between the two guys in the camp at that time, and they clearly said that the Jinyi Guard would send someone to intercept the messenger in Kaiping." Seeing that Lu Feng was already sweating profusely in a hurry, Zhang Yue was conclusive. Feeling that he had teased enough, he smiled slightly, "I naturally don't think that person is you Gonggong Lu, after all, you have given me the bottom first, but others may not see it that way." If you suffer from heat stroke for more than a month, others will definitely think that you are taking advantage of your illness to make trouble. ”

"Fuck, our family...... If we knew which little rabbit cub was secretly calculating, we would have to kill him! ”

After scolding twice, Lu Feng couldn't bear the panic in his heart after all, and unconsciously leaned back. This inlaid pear couch was given by a businessman who begged him to tell Zhang Qian about the joints during the Chinese New Year, and the lacquering process was extremely exquisite, but at this moment, he unconsciously scraped the lacquer on the armrest with his long nails, and his breathing was heavy.

"No wonder the last time the master came to visit the patient, he said some inexplicable strange things, our family was full of confusion at that time, and I didn't understand anything, but it turned out that others were already suspicious of our family at that time! Well, it's really good, our family raised so many people, but in the end they were poisoned by their own people, and our family thought that they were now the number one person in the palace! ”

Zhang Yue was naturally not surprised that Lu Feng had already recognized the poisoning. Yuan Fang's Jinyiwei was very efficient, and it didn't take a few days to find out that there was something wrong with the medicine residue that Lu Feng was taking, which was enough to make people drowsy and not healed. If you want to come to the emperor's northern expedition, from Saiwai to Jingshi via Kaiping, the most able to do certain things openly and honestly is nothing more than Dongchang and Jinyiwei, no wonder others want to frame this guy. When Lu Feng had enough of his temper, he stood up.

"Since you just said that you didn't know that Dongchang had captured such a messenger, then things are much more difficult to do. I'm afraid that even if you can go to Dongchang to preside over now, others can continue to hide this from you. You know, the people in Dongchang Jinyiwei are just embellishments, you are the governor, but you still use a few other fathers-in-law, if they don't listen to your ......"

"Don't listen, Lord Xiao Zhang, don't think that our family is planted this time, and we really have no defense!" Yuan Fang was embarrassed to say that he transferred Yuan Fang out of Beijing, and temporarily left Mu Ning unused, just to be able to completely control these two major institutions in his own hands, he snorted viciously, and made a straight face again, "With Yuan Fang here, Jinyiwei and our family can command it immediately, and that Mu Ning only listens to our family." Those dead eunuchs......"

He felt that he was even scolded by himself now, so he snorted twice, and then said without smiling: "They are promoted in the palace like our family, where is it so easy to eat outside?" All they can buy is a few people, as long as our family has more money to smash down, and then through the Jinyi Guard, we want to see who really dares to betray our family! ”

"That's a good idea." Zhang Yue nodded approvingly, and then added another sentence on fire, "Gonggong Lu, you have not cleared the poison now, and you will recuperate outside while the emperor has not returned." After all, this matter must not be publicized, if people know about it, and if you don't talk about it, others will think that you have no means. ”

"That's what Lord Zhang said!"

Lu Feng, who had just regained some face, became angry again, nodded heavily without thinking, and his eyes showed a bit of fierce light. Compared with revenge and hatred, the most important thing is to take care of the body well, and never make any mistakes. Otherwise, wouldn't he be even more unlucky when he came back with revenge and lost his life?

After talking about the most important business, Zhang Yue asked Lu Feng with a smile that he wanted a prescription, saying that he would go home to take a good look at his wife and sister. This is not known to others, but Lu Feng knows that Zhang Yue's wife and sister are secondary, but there is still a former imperial doctor hidden in the Zhang family, and he originally planned to invite someone to take a look, but Zhang Yue mentioned it, and he immediately decided to do so. Now he has to worry more, if the news of his poisoning spreads, then people will not be laughed at, and this position may not be kept. remembered that a few days ago, Cheng Jiu had mentioned that Zhang Yue was assassinated in Jimingyi, so he decided to return the favor first.

"Lord Xiao Zhang, I have been in the palace since I was a child, and in this life, except for the master, there is no one who is really close to me, I didn't expect to meet you so righteous! You saved me when I was at stake, you helped me when I was at the end of my life, and now this is another juncture, and it turns out that you pulled me again! ”

This excitement, Lu Feng suddenly left behind those self-claims such as our parents and our family, and his tone was even more sincere: "In the past, I thought you were sometimes too soft-handed and soft-hearted, but now our family understands, that is your affection!" Don't worry, no matter which prince or nobleman is behind the scenes, I will definitely send someone to find out about the matter of Jimingyi and give you an explanation! ”

Zhang Yue didn't have this intention in mind, but since Lu Feng said it categorically, he naturally wouldn't refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, our friendship doesn't say a word of thanks." I don't want to stay here longer, so I'll go back first, you're good at giving birth, I'll let people hear back to you after reading the prescription. In addition, outside the uterus is not more careful than inside the uterus, and you need to pay more attention to your diet. If you wait until you are well raised, when someone in the palace comes to visit......"

"Aren't you just continuing to pretend?" Lu Feng smiled ruthlessly, and then narrowed his eyes, "They will always know that if they want to use our family, in the end, they will steal chickens and lose a handful of rice!" ”

After Zhang Yue said goodbye and went out for a while, Lu Feng grabbed the bell next to him and shook it twice. Seeing Liang Ming enter, he was silent for a moment before ordering: "You pick out ten or eight reliable people, and give our family to stare at everyone in the family, remember, just like Jinyi Wei staring at hundreds of officials, Dongchang staring at Jinyiwei, no one can be missed." Our family can only trust you now, you behave well this time, and when we go back, we will definitely report to the emperor and give you a better position in the East Factory! ”

After making a promise, he really saw Liang Ming's face flushed, and when he left the house, his footsteps were clanging, revealing an excitement that could not be hidden. He was the only one left in the empty room, and he suddenly sat in the middle of the pear blossom couch with his hands propped up, feeling the feeling of not being able to lean on all sides. After a long time, he muttered to himself: "No wonder the emperor is a lonely man who doesn't believe in anyone, it turns out that everyone in this world is fake." Only by yourself, only yourself is the most reliable! ”

After coming back for more than ten days, Zhang Yuetou was busy checking the account books of supervising grain and transportation for a while, and went to the Ordnance Bureau and the Military Department twice. At this time, out of the Lu family's house, Zhang Yue remembered that he had said countless nonsense today, and smiled bitterly when he turned over and got on the horse. No matter how many times they cooperated, he and Lu Feng were only allies at most, and they would never be able to make friends.

Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, that guy is about to start rectifying the people around him at this time, right?

Due to the time constraints before, although he had been to Du's house once, but he came and went in a hurry, Zhang Yue planned to go to Du's house before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Du Juan went early in the morning. Anyway, listen to the teachings of your father-in-law, taste your mother-in-law's craftsmanship, and tease Xiao Wu who is in love for the first time. However, just after the West Fourth Archway, he saw an acquaintance. was stunned for a moment, he immediately smiled and patted his horse forward, and the person opposite also leaned over on the little donkey, and the two opened their mouths almost at the same time.

"Little Seventh Brother!"

"Metaverse!"

After not seeing him for more than a year, Zhang Yue discovered the earth-shaking changes in Gu Bin. The young man who was a little cold and autistic now feels very different, although the clothes on his body are only half-worn and new, but they are extremely clean. Riding the inconspicuous little donkey, Gu Bin's waist was straight, and there was a confident smile on his face.

"Little Seventh Brother is on vacation today?"

"Where am I so good to have you!" Gu Bin patted the burden in front of him, and then said with a smile, "Liu Zongxian asked for leave at home today, and these are important official documents from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so I sent them to him." ”

Although he only did such a trivial thing, he didn't hesitate when he said it, and he was very generous. Seeing Zhang Yue tilting his head and looking at him with interest, he glared back angrily: "After following Mr. Yang for so long, I have finally learned something." Although I, a prisoner, am not as good as those jinshi, and I have to train for at least three years before I can officially enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I have already figured it out, study hard first, take the township examination next year, and if I succeed, I will take the general examination the year after. I'm not like you, it's more important to lay a solid foundation now, and the days will be long in the future! ”

Knowing that this is the other party's ambition, Zhang Yue naturally wouldn't ask any stupid words of "why do you still have to take the exam when you can already be an official", nodded and asked, "Then your father and mother have taken it over now?" ”

"Well, I still saved a lot of rice from Guozijian at the beginning, plus my husband helped me rent a house, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also had some money and food subsidies, and the family's expenses were more than enough. Speaking of which, my father is always talking about you, if you are free, you remember to come to my house and sit down, thinking that you liked my mother's noodles the most. ”

For this invitation, Zhang Yue immediately agreed. While the two were talking, they avoided the side of the road, and chatted for a few more words, Zhang Yue knew that Gu Bin had official business, and it was not good to waste too much time, so he urged him to leave first. And Gu Bin pulled the reins of the little donkey, and suddenly stopped.

"You should know about your impeachment before, I don't want to say anything else, I just want to remind you. Not being jealous is a mediocre talent, and not necessarily all impeachments are bad things, not all people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are good names and favored people, and some people are upright. However, you have to be more careful, after all, it's not a good thing to provoke Goshi all the time. ”

Although Gu Bin didn't name him, how could Zhang Yue not understand this kind reminder, so he immediately thanked him. When he flicked the reins and continued to move forward, he couldn't help but think of Liu Guan, the imperial history of the Zuodu who was now in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Liu Guan is also a tumbler in the political arena, a jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, at the beginning of Yongle, he served as the left deputy capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was between Chen Ying and Wu Zhong. As a result, Chen Ying died in prison, Wu Zhong was transferred to the Criminal Department, and now he is also in prison, but this person is not humming or ha, but he was transferred all the way from the Ministry of Rites and the Criminal Department to the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It's just that someone's reputation for dying for money is outside, and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate is now a miasma, Yang Rong got Gu Bin into the Metropolitan Procuratorate to learn to walk, is it preparing for a move in the future?

Thinking about it, he was a little absent-minded when he walked, but fortunately, the road to Du's house was almost imprinted in his heart, so when he should turn a corner, he went straight when he should go straight, and there was nothing wrong. When he turned into the familiar alley, he suddenly felt that someone had stopped his horse, and when he looked up, he recognized the angry man in front of him.

"Yuan Festival, it's all good things you do!" Wan Shijie stared at Zhang Yue with a gritted tooth expression, "What did you say to Xiao Wu, now I can't touch her shadow at all!" Also, Yue ...... Lord Du has been indifferent when he sees me these days, and even Aunt Du seems to be deliberately avoiding me. Last time, you promised me to ask your father to help me propose marriage after I returned to Beijing, and now your father has gone back to Nanjing, what should I do? I'm six years older than you, don't forget my friend when you get married! ”

Facing the angry Wanshijie, Zhang Yue couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Thinking of Xiao Wu's crimson face yesterday, he looked at Wanshijie thoughtfully for a while, then squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just now you can go in with me to find out." If you want to find an elder to propose marriage to you, always ask your future father-in-law and mother-in-law's intentions, this is more appropriate, right? ”
