"It's unfathomable." When Wang Yehao said this, he lowered his voice unconsciously, "Not to mention other things, he can even speak to the slave chief."
"There is such a person!" Mr. Zhou was surprised.
"The ancestors of Li Luoyou's family were originally big businessmen in Liaodong," Wang Yehao said enthusiastically, "and they have a close relationship with the Mongolian tribes outside the country and the old slaves in Jianzhou. Therefore, the business in Mongolia and Liaodong has always been
It has never been broken. Now he and Kun Ze are flirting with each other again - it is said that Kun Ze buys a lot of cattle and sheep skins from him every year. He also has great backers in the court, including several cabinet ministers and eunuchs in the palace. They are all connected with him.
No one dared to touch him."
"If we could get his help, wouldn't it be easier to rebel against Kun?"
"I've thought about it too. It's just that Mr. Li's scheming is unfathomable. I can't understand or figure it out!"
"If you're not a friend, you're an enemy..."
Mr. Wang and Zhou Lezhi were both shocked. They did not expect that their husband would say such decisive words. Judging from his expression, these words were not a joke.
"Sir, be careful. If Mr. Li really becomes our enemy, I'm afraid that the thieves will become more powerful." Wang Yehao said, "He is wavering now. Although he refuses to rebel, he is still loyal to the court...
"
Back in his courtyard, Mr. Zhou ignored Curie and Newton and plunged into his study without knowing what he was busy with.
Zhou Lezhi was ordered to meet Li Luoyou, and learned a lot from the conversation. He returned to his husband and told the story exactly.
"What do you think this person's attitude is towards the Kun thief?"
"Well, as Mr. said, it's 'tangled'."
"Confused? Haha, you said it well!" Mr. Zhou laughed, "Although I haven't met him, I can probably guess his state of mind when people talk about his deeds."
"Yes, he was extremely disappointed with the government; but he couldn't accept the idea of helping the thieves and becoming the hero of the new dynasty." Zhou Lezhi recalled the entire meeting, "If he has any original intention, it is not
I am willing to allow barbarians like Kun and the Donglu to take over China..."
"Barbarians? Are thieves also barbarians?" Mr. Zhou seemed surprised, and then laughed again, "Yes, yes, they are indeed barbarians!"
Zhou Lezhi didn't know what was so funny about him - this traitor came from overseas. Even though he claimed to be a descendant of the Song Dynasty, he also entered the barbarians and became Xia. What is he other than a barbarian?
"So, as long as a Chinese hero is the emperor, it doesn't matter who he is."
"He doesn't dare to say this. I think this is what he really means."
"Of course he dare not say it." The gentleman nodded slightly, "He is different from the Liang family."
Although the Liang family is making money from Australians, they are at odds with the Kun thieves in their hearts. When the critical moment comes, it is not impossible to destroy the family and rescue them. But the Li family is different.
"Does he still intend to make guns and cannons?"
"What Li Luoyou cares about most is to refresh firearms. The imperial court originally asked Guangdong to cast cannons, but the wages were too low. Moreover, he felt that the current cannons were too poor, so he might as well get the Kun Thief.
The art of making cannon..."
"Damn, what kind of logic is this?" Mr. Zhou cursed and asked, "What else did he say about Kun Thief?"
"He said that the thief Kun treated the common people like his own children, and that the government was very trustworthy... In short, he said a lot of good things."
"Shit!" Mr. Zhou sneered, "You killed so many people in Guangdong, and you still hang them up as street lights and treat the people like your own children!"
"Sir, please calm down. Mr. Li also said that the thieves have no righteous intentions and only use small favors to seduce the ignorant people. They have done countless incestuous things, such as shaving their heads to make them submissive."
Mr. Zhou was unfazed after hearing this. He walked around the room a few times and said, "When you go to see him, tell him that you have a gunnery book on Kun Thief. Although it mainly talks about gunnery,
But it also contains some cannon-making technology. If he is interested, you can give it to him."
"Yes, the student understands." Zhou Lezhi knew that this pamphlet should be written by his husband. Speaking of it, he is really an "all-rounder" who understands everything and knows everything.
"He will definitely be interested. Fish him slowly. I still have a few books here. You can give them to him when the time is right."
"Students know."
"Go ahead." The gentleman said, "Have you finished reading all the books I asked you to read?"
"I've read it all."
"Bring me your study notes tonight and I'll take a look."
The teacher paid close attention to Zhou Lezhi's studies. Not only would he often show him books to read, but he would also ask him to write notes based on his experiences, and then give lectures based on the contents and notes of the books the next day. Although the study was intense, Zhou Lezhi enjoyed it.
.
After dinner in the evening, he took his notes and went to his husband's courtyard. Unexpectedly, before he stepped through the courtyard door, he heard a commotion in the main room, which was also mixed with the sound of his husband's angry shouting.
This is strange. Zhou Lezhi has been with Mr. Zhou for many years, and it is rare for him to get angry, and it is even rarer for him to scold his servants. Why is he scolding people now?
He quickly walked in and saw a maid hurriedly coming out of the main room with Zhou Juli in her arms. There were tears in the little girl's eyes. She was sobbing in the maid's arms. Then she looked at Yourong standing in the corridor of the west wing with a proud look on her face.
, stood beside him a servant girl holding Zhou Newton.
Wang Zhi was in the corridor of the main room. When he saw Zhou Lezhi coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said in a low voice: "You came just in time! Go in quickly to persuade..."
"What's going on inside?"
"It's Miss Yui..." Wang Zhi hesitated, "I value you the most, go and persuade her."
"Humph, I'm afraid this kind of rebellious thing can't be dissuaded," Yourong said angrily in the corridor, "It's better to ask the family for advice quickly and ask questions!"
Zhou Lezhi frowned. To be honest, he had no special impression of his husband's two concubines - he was always cautious about his husband's women. Whether it was Yui, Yourong, or Zhiling, who had disappeared, he always kept a distance.
Keep a respectful distance.
However, compared to Yui and Zhiling, he was somewhat disgusted with women like Yourong who came from a vocational college, and felt that they were too "skilled". After Yourong gave birth to his son, he became even more arrogant, and his words and deeds were quite excessive.
He pretended not to hear what Yourong said, and only told the king: "You should close the courtyard door and keep a watchman. Don't disturb other people in the palace."
"Should we send someone to report to the master immediately?"
"No, let's wait until things calm down." Zhou Lezhi felt that this was probably Master's "family scandal" and it was better not to make it public.
When they came to the corridor of the main room, they saw the fan was open, and there were broken teapots and teacups on the square tile floor. Yui knelt on the ground, just crying. The husband's face was red, and he was so angry that he was incoherent.
"You...you...you dare to drug me?! Tell me! Who told you to do this!"
With a bang, another vase broke on the ground.
Zhou Lezhi's scalp felt numb: Drugging! This is terrible. He originally wanted to persuade him, but now he didn't even dare to say anything.
Yui knelt on the ground and kowtowed like a chicken rushing to break rice: "Master clearly knows that this slave is a tonic. Master is my slave's heaven, how can I dare to deceive the heaven! I'm unjust! I'm unjust!"
"Since it's a tonic, what can't you tell me? You sneaked into the tea, no wonder the tea tastes bad these days! What's your intention?!" The gentleman's expression was distorted, and he roared, "Here, call Liu Zhao! He's not
Are you from Zhenfusi? Just ask me!"
"Master, please spare my life!"
Seeing that Yui's forehead was swollen and the skin was broken. No one around him dared to say anything, Zhou Lezhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Sir..."
Mr. Zhou glanced at him, and he instantly felt what "killing with eyes" meant. Zhou Lezhi had never seen Mr. Zhou so angry, but for the sake of Mr. Zhou's face and family harmony, he had no choice but to speak reluctantly.
"Sir, please don't be angry. Didn't you teach me in the past not to make decisions on impulse? You also said, 'Without investigation, you have no right to speak.' Even if there is something wrong with Miss Yui, you must get things done."
Once you know it clearly, you can make a decision..."
"I've seen it all! What else is there to say?" Although the gentleman's voice was loud, his momentum had gone down. Zhou Lezhi knew that there was something going on, so he quickly continued to admonish:
"Although seeing is believing, Miss Yui has been serving my husband for many years and has a basis of affection. He has a relationship with her and Curie. What motive does she have to harm him? Hasn't my husband always taught me that everything should be logical and look at the motives?
Need to investigate and study..."
Mr. Zhou seemed to be moved by these words. Zhou Lezhi quickly winked at Wang Zhi at the door. Wang Zhi understood and immediately poked the servant girl who was holding Curie.
The servant girl understood immediately, and immediately ran into the house with Curie in her arms, knelt down and cried: "Master! Master! Miss Yui made a lot of mistakes, please, for Curie's sake, please spare her..."
"
Curie was so frightened that his face turned pale, and now he was crying even more. The gentleman looked helpless, and he took a deep breath and said: "Forget it! In this case, I will do as you said - investigate first!"
When the servants saw that the master was relieved, they quickly gathered around. Some cleaned the floor and tidied up the house, some hurriedly carried Yui away, and some brought tea...
Zhou Lezhi just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his husband say: "Yi Yi is not allowed to leave, I have something to ask!"
Zhou Lezhi knew that he would not be able to sleep unless he got to the bottom of what happened today, so he immediately ordered: "Everyone should be busy with whatever they are doing, and watch the excitement."
The servants quickly retreated after hearing the sound, only to hear Yourong's voice coming from the corridor in the west wing again: "Humph, even if you say it, it's..."
The gentleman grabbed a teapot and threw it out of the door with the water and the pot. With a crisp cracking sound, someone cried a few times in the yard, and then there was silence.
Zhou Lezhi hurriedly signaled Wang Zhi to close the fan. He turned around and advised again: "Sir, please don't get angry. Even if there is something wrong with Miss Yui, it's not too late to apologize after you find out."
