Chapter 268 Is this His Highness crazy?
When Zhang Hua saw his father's worried look, he knew that his father must be worried about Hangzhou. That Shen Zheng was still a relative of his family. Now that the incident has come to light, he has actually done so many disgusting things. Those cases
, just hearing about those hundreds of children makes people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
"Is father worried about what's going on in Hangzhou?"
Zhang Mao sighed heavily.
"Can you not worry? I shouldn't have been greedy in the first place. Then Shen Zhengcong said that as long as I send the salt from Yangzhou to Hangzhou and he comes to help sell it, I will definitely make more than my normal sales. It is true. Let's
At that time, my family earned over half a million yuan just from this alone!"
"In addition, I have some relatives, and I heard the promises from my father-in-law, so I chose to support him. After decades, I never expected that he would harbor evil intentions to this extent, and the collusion between government and businessmen would be nothing.
Well, it is said that our family was not clean during the Jianwen Dynasty, but...but we didn't dare to blow up dikes and destroy people's fields, let alone brutally kill hundreds of children. He...he was simply...
brute!"
"If the incident happened during the Jianwen Dynasty, that would be fine. Then we would take advantage of Emperor Jianwen's weakness in benevolence and righteousness and try our best to distance ourselves from him and spend some money. Maybe there would still be a glimmer of hope, but now
The emperor we met is the one who is most like Emperor Taizu among the rumors!"
"Is it possible that he hates the house so much that he also cleans up our Zhang family? As a father, I really don't dare to think about it. What evil have I done? Why did I meet such a person!"
"In addition, His Royal Highness the King of Han has arrived in Yangzhou. He has done so many things in Hangzhou. The cases of the nine dams and the cases of hundreds of missing children were all investigated by him. Such a person is in charge of Jinyiwei.
, smart and courageous, and still have power in our hands, I'm afraid it's us... we can't escape this time..."
Just then the servant who collected the money finally arrived.
"My boss, my young boss, there is a guest outside. He said his surname is Cheng."
Zhang Mao was stunned after hearing this. Zhang Hua hadn't thought of anything yet, so he wanted to wave his hand and let others go. He didn't remember that his father had any dealings with anyone named Cheng.
"Wait a moment!"
Zhang Mao stopped his son: "You said there is a young man outside. What does he look like? Did he come alone or did he bring others?"
The servant replied: "Master, the young master is not alone. He has brought two maids. The appearance of the two maids cannot be seen clearly. They have veils on their faces. There are two tall men behind them.
, His eyes are very sharp, and at first glance, he is not an ordinary person, he is definitely an expert."
Zhang Mao thought about it carefully. Among the people he met, there was indeed no such a number one figure. What was going on? Why did the guests come at this time?
"Then did he say where he came from?"
"Oh, by the way! That young man said he is from Hangzhou!"
"Hangzhou...surnamed Cheng? Could it be!"
Zhang Mao suddenly remembered who the people in Hangzhou were named Cheng. Why shouldn't Shen Zhengcong's wife Cheng Louer be named Cheng?
It's too late to hide now, but unexpectedly another Sangmenxing shows up!
But Cheng Lou'er is clearly a woman. Could it be that one of the two veiled women is Cheng Lou'er? Then who is this young man?
"Quick, quick, quick! Let them go quickly. If they ask why, just say that I have a cold and I can't get up if I get sick!"
The servant was startled and hurriedly wanted to go down, but just then Zhang Hua stopped him.
"Wait a minute, wait outside the door first!"
The servant walked out and closed the door. Zhang Hua said to his father: "Dad, Cheng Lou'er may not be the only one here. Do you think that His Highness the King of Han just arrived in Yangzhou today, and Cheng Lou'er will not be here for a long time?"
He just arrived. If it’s really him, then… who is that young master?”
"Is it possible that the young master is His Highness the King of Han in disguise? After all, His Highness does not follow the ordinary path. Doesn't everyone say that the King of Han is good at planning? The Yangzhou magistrate has never seen him. If he finds someone to pretend to be himself to accompany him, then there is no way
The magistrate of Yangzhou, who couldn't afford salt or silver, went to eat, but instead he found our family, hoping that we could contribute to the salt tax in Lianghuai, which is very possible."
Zhang Mao looked at his son.
"You mean to say that the young master outside is most likely His Highness the King of Han himself, who is here in person?"
Zhang Hua nodded heavily: "This is the only possibility, dad. Otherwise, how can we explain it? There are two burly men behind us. Even our servants who are the gatekeepers can see that those two men are not easy to deal with. Then
At first glance, it’s Jin Yiwei!”
"In any case, whether His Highness King Han wants silver or salt, there is always a discussion and discussion. But if we close the door and not see guests, I'm afraid we will miss this only opportunity to save our family!"
Zhang Mao felt that what his son said made sense, and if that was the case, then they could only meet each other.
"In that case, let's meet him, but we'd better pretend not to know his identity. Don't be smart in front of such a person!"
"Dad, don't worry, I will never reveal his true identity, but since he has come from afar, it would be better for my son to greet him in person on behalf of his father!"
Zhang Mao nodded.
"This is very good, and it can also show the attitude of my family. Then go quickly, and be sure to act neither humble nor arrogant, so that no one can notice it!"
"Father, don't worry!"
Ye Biqing waited outside the door for almost half a stick of incense before the door slowly opened. Zhang Hua, dressed in coarse cloth, was about to salute the young master outside the door, but he was stunned for a moment.
Darling, this young master is too handsome. He cannot be described as handsome. He is simply... He is simply a monster!
Ye Biqing met Zhang Hua many years ago, but at that time Zhang Hua was only a thirteen-year-old kid. Now five years have passed, Ye Biqing is already twenty-seven, and this kid is already eighteen.
"Zhang Hua?"
Hearing Ye Biqing call his name, Zhang Hua reacted.
"Ugh...how does the young master know my name?"
Ye Biqing smiled slightly. She already smiled very masculinely and toughly, but this smile made her even more beautiful.
"Of course I know your name. I saw you when you were little. At that time, you hid behind your father when you first saw me, your face was as red as a monkey's butt."
"ah?"
