The time came to noon, and it was almost lunch time. Jiang Fan, who had been busy all morning, did not go to the canteen of Fusi in Beizhen.
Everyone knows the taste of big pot rice.
If you want to improve the food, you still have to go to a restaurant or let the canteen run a small stove.
Jiang Fan plans to eat outside.
Life in this world is nothing more than birth, old age, illness and death, eating, drinking and having fun. Enjoy what you should enjoy and don't treat yourself badly.
Walking out of Fusi, Beizhen, Jiang Fan saw Yin Cheng and several Jinyiwei Xiaoqi drinking and bragging in a roadside tavern.
When he was working under Shen Lian, Jiang Fan worked with Yin Cheng for a while and knew that Yin Cheng was a good drinker and would not hold his tongue when he drank.
I didn't expect that the other party was so addicted to alcohol that he would have several drinks during his lunch break.
More importantly, Yin Cheng was vividly telling the story of Emperor Tianqi falling into the water the day before yesterday.
I don’t know where he heard the news from?
This matter can be big or small. If it really comes to the fore and is recorded as impermanent by someone who is interested, Yin Cheng will still have to shed his skin even if he does not die.
Seeing that Yin Cheng was getting more and more energetic as he spoke, Jiang Fan quickly walked over, raised his hand and slapped Yin Cheng on the back of the head.
"You're tired of living, aren't you? You dare to say anything. Do you want to die?"
"I……"
Yin Cheng was suddenly slapped, and he was just about to get angry and beat someone up, but when he saw that it was the newly appointed governor Jiang Fan, he almost woke up after drinking. Thinking back to what he had just arranged for Emperor Tianqi, his legs suddenly felt weak.
"It's just a small talk that doesn't mean anything. Please, Lord Governor... please show your respect!"
Jiang Fan glanced at the other Jinyiwei Xiaoqi. They were all Shen Lian's subordinates and could be considered acquaintances. He did not embarrass Yin Cheng. He just warned in a cold voice: "I will pretend that I didn't hear it this time, but please remember it."
, Trouble comes from the mouth, watch your mouth, otherwise your head will be lost."
Seeing that Jiang Fan didn't go into details, Yin Cheng quickly expressed his position: "Yes... yes, thank you for your kindness. I will bear in mind my humble position."
Seeing that Yin Cheng had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, Jiang Fan nodded and thought of Yin Cheng's friend Pei Lun, so he said: "Last time I heard that you have a friend named Pei Lun in Nanzhen Fusi. He is very capable. I am now
If you need someone, ask him if he is willing to work as an errand in Beizhen Fusi when you have time. As long as he comes, I can give him a hundred households first, and if he performs meritorious service, he can be promoted again."
Upon hearing this, Yin Cheng felt relieved and then overjoyed knowing that Jiang Fan was not going to pursue the case.
He didn't have many real friends among the Jin Yiwei, and his only close friend was Pei Lun.
Pei Lun is indeed much more capable than him, and he is experienced in handling affairs. He was originally a trial householder in Fusi, Beizhen, and he also takes good care of Yin Cheng.
It's a pity that I was unlucky. I was about to be promoted to 100 households, but the position of 100 households was passed by someone.
In anger, Yin Cheng got into grudges with others, but he had no backing and was scornful, so he was eventually transferred to Nanzhen Fusi.
Now that he heard that Jiang Fan wanted to promote Pei Lun, Yin Cheng was very excited. He was even happier than himself for the promotion, and he quickly brought Pei Lun to thank Jiang Fan.
"This is my document. Take it to Nanzhen Fusi. I think they will let me go."
Jiang Fan handed Yin Cheng the handwritten letter he had written in advance, which had the seal of his envoy to Beizhen.
Although they are both town governors, the North Town Fusi is the unit with real power, and Jiang Fan is being re-employed by Emperor Tianqi at this time. As long as the south town Fusi governor still has his brains, he will not confront Jiang Fan because of Pei Lun.
.
There is no way, Jiang Fan has too few people at his disposal. If he doesn't poach people, when will he be able to rise to prominence?
You can’t do everything yourself!
at the same time.
Lu Wenzhao, who was in Fusi, Beizhen, did not know how to eat and could not sit still.
On the one hand, he sent his confidants to the archives to destroy the "Minutes of the Supervision of the Construction of Treasure Ships".
On the one hand, he was thinking of ways to kill Guo Zhen.
As a follower of King Xin, Lu Wenzhao must ensure that the matter does not involve King Xin.
Otherwise, once King Xin is exposed, even if Emperor Tianqi cares about his brotherhood and does not kill King Xin, he will probably send King Xin to a fief for confinement.
At that time, if you want King Xin to succeed to the throne, the only way is to control the capital by force and force Emperor Tianqi to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne.
However, forced uterine uterus is the last resort. Doing so will lead to endless troubles and will inevitably lead to criticism.
This is definitely not the situation that Lu Wenzhao, or even King Xin and the Donglin Party want to see.
While Lu Wenzhao was waiting anxiously, the confidant he sent hurriedly returned.
"Sir, the record library has been blocked by Dongchang Fanzi. My subordinates are incompetent and have not been able to enter!"
After hearing what his men said, Lu Wenzhao put down his chopsticks, with no trace of happiness or anger on his face.
He was mentally prepared for the answer from his confidant.
It is related to the safety of Emperor Tianqi. It would be abnormal if there is no movement in Dongchang.
There are Dongchang fans guarding the archives, so force will definitely not work.
At present, Dongchang is in a strong position and it is not appropriate to fight head-on.
[Forget it, deal with Guo Zhen first, and take your time with other matters. You must not mess up your position at this time.]
It is difficult to destroy the "Minutes of the Supervision of the Construction of Treasure Ships". If Guo Zhen is removed, even if the East Factory discovers problems in the future, there will be no proof.
The problem now is how to make an appointment with Guo Zhen in the palace.
Although the treasure ship sank in the lake and Tianqi fell into the water, it was no problem, but Guo Zhen had become a frightened bird. If he was not someone whom he absolutely trusted, there would be no way to ask him out of the palace.
Once Guo Zhen cannot withstand the pressure, or is caught by Dongchang first, Lu Wenzhao, who is in contact with Guo Zhen, will be the first to suffer.
Soon, a suitable candidate appeared in Lu Wenzhao's mind.
This person is Mr. Hokusai.
Mr. Hokusai, whose real name is Zhou Miaoxuan, is King Nobu's confidante. He usually uses paintings as letters to contact various forces and is regarded as King Nobu's spokesperson.
At present, only Hokusai's channel can allow Guo Zhen to leave the palace with peace of mind.
In addition, Hokusai knows a lot of things, and it’s time to silence him!
Lu Wenzhao planned to kill two birds with one stone and eliminate Guo Zhen and Beizhai at once.
As long as this line is broken, no matter how hard the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei investigate, they will not be able to find him or King Xin.
It must be said that Lu Wenzhao was very decisive in his work. After making a decision, he immediately asked his confidants to contact Beizhai.
Little did they know that Jiang Fan had already made plans to make people keep an eye on Hokusai.
The news that Lu Wenzhao contacted Beizhai was quickly delivered to Jiang Fan by the people of Black Stone.
[It seems that the plot has not changed much, and there are fish taking the bait tonight.]
With a thought in his mind, Jiang Fan asked the Black Stone Killer to lurk and wait for Guo Zhen to leave the palace.
In fact, Jiang Fan could have directly captured Lu Wenzhao, and then had Beizhai and Guo Zhen captured. As long as they were sent to prison, he would not be afraid that they would not recruit them.
It's just that Jiang Fan felt that Lu Wenzhao's ability to do things was good, so it was a pity to kill him like this.
Jiang Fan wanted to give it a try to see if he could take Lu Wenzhao for his own use.
At present, the members of the Jinyiwei are either eunuchs or members of the Donglin Party. Most of the rest are crooked people. If Jiang Fan wants to develop rapidly, he can only poach people everywhere.
