Chapter 16 Chess
Zhen Shide bowed his head slightly, holding the tea cup in one hand and the tea lid in the other.
Gently shook the tea leaves floating on the surface in the cup with the tea lid, blew a few breaths, took a sip with bared teeth, and let out a satisfied and comfortable cry, without raising his head, he rolled his eyes and glanced at the old man of the Wei family.
Seeing that he was still pondering, Zhen Shide took another sip and said secretly, it was really good tea.
The hall was quiet for a while.
There was only the sound of the master bookkeeper baring his teeth and drinking tea.
I don't know how long it has passed, and Wei Banshan can't figure out what is wrong with this, so he can only test Zhen Shide, "This is what Li Zhixian means?" ”
Zhen Shide was overjoyed when he heard this.
Your sister, what am I doing in Wei Mansion, I am here to sing with a white face, and I finally waited until Old Man Wei asked this sentence.
Zhen Shide put down the teacup, "Oh no, don't get me wrong, when Li Zhixian first arrived in Xiangyang, everything didn't work, this is not what he meant, it's just that Huang County Lieutenant and I feel that Old Man Wei is highly respected and is a person of great virtue in my Xiangyang. ”
Hearing this, Wei Banshan's beard turned up angrily.
Good guy, the emotional scraping county order is gone, you and Huang Feihong saw that the new Zhixian was young, so they took advantage of this matter to threaten my Wei clan in private, I said why, it turned out to be for money!
Wei Banshan snorted coldly, not angry.
Zhen Shide's heart jumped.
Secretly prayed, Li Zhixian, I'm out of the way, if your plan is useless, then I will really be miserable by you.
Wei Banshan got up, and Lang smiled: "Since this is the case, then the old man will wait for the good news of Huang County Lieutenant." ”
Zhen Shide was worried in his heart, lying down, how could it be different from what Li Zhixian said.
Didn't he say that as long as he was like this, Wei Banshan would inevitably compromise and say a soft word to stabilize himself, how could it be that now it seems that Wei Banshan is not panicked at all.
Not daring to make an assertion, Zhen Shide got up, "I am busy with official business, so I won't bother the old man." ”
Wei Banshan had a cold face and waved his sleeves, "Don't send it." ”
After seeing Zhen Shide leave, Wei Banshan stared at Wei Pingyang, the long room that came in, and said with a calm face: "Pingyang, how long will it take for people who go to Jiangling Mansion to have news?" ”
Although Wei Pingyang was in his early forties, or worried about family affairs, his hair was gray, his description was sturdy, and he was well-dressed, he was very elegant, and he replied without thinking: "The third brother and the others are all riding fast horses, and they can return to Xiangyang in three days at the latest." ”
Wei Banshan stopped talking, and ...... for three days Time seems a little too late.
I hope that Huang Feihong and the others will not hurry up, so that they can have the opportunity to bring back Shuliu's girl before them.
As long as Shuliu is brought back to the Wei Mansion, everything will be simpler.
Wei Banshan sighed.
This matter is really the idea of Huang Feihong and Zhen Shide, they really dare to offend my Wei clan for the sake of money?
Does the newcomer Li Fengwu really not know?
Wei Banshan always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't figure out the clues, and after controlling the Wei clan, he felt powerless for the first time.
In the backyard of the county government, Li Fengwu and Zhen Shide sat in the shade of the courtyard.
After Zhen Shide finished talking about today's visit to the Wei Mansion, Li Fengwu was silent for a while.
The old man Wei Banshan was unconvinced.
This was unexpected, originally thought that Wei Banshan would inevitably give in for the sake of the Wei family's face, and at worst, he should have a good face towards Zhen Shide at that time.
And not even the etiquette of sending off guests.
This old man's money is not easy to cheat.
But...... Li Fengwu smiled, as if he couldn't help him.
Li Fengwu didn't have the slightest guilt about this, anyway, repairing Huangjiadi is also for the people of Xiangyang, as a Xiangyang wang clan, your foundation is in Xiangyang, and this move is also for the good of you Xiangyang clans.
Without soil, how can a powerful family grow.
said to Zhen Shide: "Have you done everything you ordered yesterday?" Are you sure you won't let the Wei people suspect us? ”
Zhen Shide smiled, "You can rest assured that the relationship between County Lieutenant Huang and the things he explained will definitely not go on a business trip." ”
Li Fengwu nodded, "Then Wei Shuliu's father, I have to try to meet him, as a father, I will always feel sorry for my daughter, especially when I heard that his family is not prosperous, there is only such an only daughter." ”
"That's not necessary."
Zhen Shide said with a smile, "I have already received the news, it was Wei Pingjiang who personally brought people to Jiangling Mansion, and the county lieutenant of Huang County will definitely return to Xiangyang with Wei Pingjiang when he sees the opportunity." ”
Li Fengwu was a little uneasy, "I'm afraid that Huang County Lieutenant won't be able to deal with Wei Pingjiang at that time, no matter what, I hope that Huang County Lieutenant will withstand the pressure, even if he fights Wei Pingjiang head-on, we must control Wei Shuliu and Lu Zhen in our hands, especially Wei Shuliu, who must not be brought back to Wei Mansion by Wei Pingjiang." ”
Zhen Shide deeply agreed, "County Lieutenant Huang should know the severity. ”
Sighed.
Li Fengwu waved his hand, "In this case, please be more attentive to Master Zhen, pay more attention to the chess pieces we have laid out, and don't sell us, otherwise we will all have to roll out of Xiangyang in disgrace." ”
In this matter, the three of them are already grasshoppers on a rope.
It seems that he wants to get money from the Wei people to repair the Huangjia Embankment, but in fact, he takes money from the entire Xiangyang Shi clan.
Once revealed, it will become the enemy of the entire Xiangyang clan.
In that case, not to mention the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper and the county lieutenant, even if the Xiangyang prefect is hostile to the entire Xiangyang Shi clan, he will have to be anxious, and don't even think about completing the official duties in the future.
On the administrative side, government decrees and official affairs must be supported by the nobles.
This is the inevitability of the social class structure of the Great Song Dynasty.
Therefore, although the scraping county order searched for the people's fat and ointment in Xiangyang, he was still able to get out of the whole body, and the most important point is that he never went against the scholars, and even many scholars have reaped a lot of benefits from the means of this scraping county order.
The eternal people at the bottom who suffer and suffer.
Zhen Shide responded: "I will pay attention to it, so I will keep an eye on it." ”
Looking at Zhen Shide, who left in a hurry, Li Fengwu sat there without moving for a while, and sighed for a long time, "It's all old foxes!" ”
If he didn't guess wrong, Zhen Shide must have concealed what he said before.
In the conversation with Wei Banshan, Zhen Shide left room and did not force Wei Banshan to death, so Wei Banshan had the confidence to ignore Zhen Shide, and decided after looking at the follow-up situation.
It is also understandable, after all, Zhen Shide has been operating in Xiangyang for many years.
It's reasonable to have scruples.
And this can also make this matter more natural, so that people will not see the conspiracy at a glance, so I bet that Wei Banshan must still understand what the purpose of this matter is in Xiangyang County.
Next, it's up to the people of Xiangyang!
Only the people of Xiangyang can push the Wei people into a desperate situation, and only the people of Xiangyang can let the old man of the Wei family visit him in person. (To be continued.) )
