Zhuoying

As Zhong You said, when the sky entered April, the merchants in Xuhang experienced a turmoil first.Originally, the inland cargo flow was blocked, and no one could cross the long river except the Zhong family.Qingping and Wuhan in the hinterland were the first to bear the brunt, all businesses were choked up, and all the goods were in a hurry, causing outrage.But this time, Jiangtang Zhong's family changed their obedience and made up their minds to control Xu Hang's merchants.

According to the thoughts of His Majesty today, such arrogance is absolutely not tolerated.However, the imperial court did not take any action. Just as Meng Chen guessed, the emperor also focused on the huge profits of Yansu, and needed to rely on the tiger of Jiangtang Zhong's family to snatch the food first.

Zhong He took the lead in playing, trying to refute the suppression of Jiangtang Zhong's family, saying that it is a bad idea to raise tigers, but the emperor did not respond.Immediately after Changlehou took over, he also spoke to force the merchants, but the emperor still did not respond.

After Pu Cheng and the others finished school, they saw a sedan chair stopped at the gate of the academy.Others couldn't see it, but Pu Cheng grabbed his arm and said, "Mr.'s distinguished guest is here."

Su Zhou had good eyesight, but he didn't see any dignity in this sedan chair.Pu Cheng snorted coldly, raised his head and nodded the sedan chair, and said: "The wood is all good wood, and the satin surface is pressed to a deep color, but the material is extremely expensive. This person is obviously very expensive, but he wants to pretend to be a pair of clothes." His poor appearance shows that he is extremely hypocritical."

"You haven't even seen the face, so you can make a conclusion like this. Maybe you have to teach others to praise you." Shaozhen took a look at the book, and didn't pay attention to it. He just urged: "Hurry up!" , even if the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu come, they won’t be able to deal with us.”

Rong Yang couldn't see clearly, so he couldn't get in the conversation.Pu Cheng didn't do anything, the four of them chatted and went to the kitchen.

But what Pu Cheng said was right, the visitor was indeed Zhong You's distinguished guest, and a rare honored guest.

"How did you find this place?" Zhong You led the man to the house in the courtyard. The two of them were walking under the peach branches. The man bent over and showed his face.It was Zhou Pu.

"It's a fluke." Zhou Pu still had a refined style, and he couldn't see the sternness of the supervisor at all, he said, "I found out from Ruchen." He smiled again, "It took me a few jars of good wine. "

Both of them laughed, Zhou Pu gazed at Dongshan Mountain, and said: "Your land is clean, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with colorful village songs and farms. Kyoto is incomparable."

Zhong You lowered his eyes and smiled warmly, listening to Zhou Pu's words: "I have seen the shocking case years ago. I was thinking about when Ruchen would come to carry the gold order, and I miss you here again. It's not surprising."

"I'm not alone in this order." Zhong You raised his head and stood in the shade with him, said: "It's useless to keep it, but Ruchen can use it."

"But his unafraid of death." Zhou Pu shook his head and sighed, "It's really scary."

"It's okay." Zhong You's eyes darkened slightly, "Mr. Zhong can bear it."

Zhou Pu turned to look at him, "You should leave Beijing suddenly, I guess there must be a reason for it. But because of Mr. Zhong?"

"Half and half." Zhong You smiled, "It's because I'm too lazy and can't bear the high ambition."

Zhou Pu sternly said, "This is serious. We don't know what kind of temperament you are? Mr. Zhong has always acted on the word of stability, but now that there are many powerful families in Beijing, the old man will inevitably become a warlord. Does Ruchen know?" See Zhong You didn't answer, and he sighed: "That's why I don't know. What should I do, I'm in the middle, should I say it or not? You keep it from him, and he will know it by himself in the future, and he will definitely feel guilty for a thousand years." A hundred times."

Zhong You suddenly raised a finger, his eyes were half closed, and he said calmly: "Then let him never know."

Zhou Pu was taken aback, and frowned, "...Could it be that there is something hidden? Zhong Ziming is conceited as a senior, and has never been willing to embarrass us. Why on earth did he face you alone, making such an embarrassment?"

Zhong You laughed, "Who knows."

Leisurely clouds and white gulls, when he left the capital, it was the time when his reputation was suddenly established.It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no reason for it.Whose family's Haoerlang doesn't have Ling Yunzhi?However, what the reason is, even Zhou Pu, doesn't know the details.Up to now, only Zhong Ziming and Zhong You are the ones who understand the most.

Zhong You didn't stop at these words, he saw Shi Yu's figure, smiled first, and said to Zhou Pu: "Stay here for dinner, the pheasant that my family hunted is just right for stewing sweet potatoes, let you taste the wild game. "

This "my home" is very meaningful.Zhou Pu saw the young man, and the young man also looked over, but instead of looking at him, he landed on Zhong You first.

Zhou Pu smiled slightly in a daze, and whispered, "It's really..."

Zhou Pu is no better than Zhong Xie, he is not Zhong You's chief character, he is just a friend of Zhong You's acquaintance in Beijing.The guest of honor enjoyed the meal, and Zhou Pu mentioned some interesting things about his school days, which Shi Yu listened to for a long time.After they left, Zhong You saw them off, and when they got into the sedan chair, Zhou Pu said in a low voice: "I also saw the case a few years ago, and I think Chang Lehou would criticize it." He speculated on Zhong You's expression, and asked, "Is it still the case?" Already here?"

Zhong You said: "I have been here, but I haven't seen any follow-up for a long time."

"A few days ago, I saw that he had already tidied up the mansion, so the time to enter Wuhan must have been brought forward. He went to Wuhan, but he was next to Qingping, not far from here, so you have to be careful."

"I should be careful." Zhong You smiled, "Be careful on the road."

Zhou Pu nodded, got into the sedan chair and left.

Zhong You saw that the sedan chair was far away, just as Pu Cheng passed by with his head bowed, he poked his head to see the person leaving, and rarely said a word: "That's an official from Beijing."

This kid has good eyesight, Zhong You asked him instead: "Why are you from Beijing?"

Pu Cheng hugged Ju, and pointed at himself when he heard the words, "I—" Seeing Zhong You looking at him, he swallowed Lao Tzu and changed it to: "I have stayed in Xuhang for a long time, and I have seen many officials. Officials in the prefecture seldom put on airs and wealth, but only officials in Kyoto pay attention to looking poor and poor."

Zhong You couldn't help laughing, and just asked him: "Then which one do you like?"

Pu Cheng was stunned for a moment, straightened his chest, and said in a steady voice: "Beiyang, the Beiyang Army is not like this." He hugged Ju Xiang with a knife in his chest, and his chest seemed to hold a yearning, he said: "What's so good about being a civil servant? I just keep in touch with each other. I just like Jingzhen." He smiled, his brows were unruly, "I will go to Jingzhen as a general in the future!"

Zhong Youzheng turned around and paused, looked back at this kid, and said, "It's also suitable."

This kid has burrs and sharp edges all over his body, he should polish it well, maybe he will be a good knife with sharp edges in the future?

While Shi Yu was washing the dishes, Zhong You went into the room and watched for a while.It was noon, and the boys outside were shouting and shouting, but no one paid attention to the kitchen.Zhong You dropped a candy into his mouth, and stood beside Shi Yu in a daze.

He said: "A Yu."

Shi Yu turned his head over, Zhong You pressed the tip of his tongue against the sugar, as if he was thinking about something.Shi Yu asked, "Huh?"

The tip of Zhong You's tongue was scratched by the corner of the sugar, he said: "The killer from last time was buried in Dongshan?"

Shi Yu wiped off the water on the plate, then asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhong You said: "I don't think he is a man from Changlehou." Looking at the fine dust in the afternoon, he slowly said: "It's my fault. The timing of this matter is so good that people feel that only Marquis Changle will send someone to come, but now that I think about it again, I don’t think it’s right.”

Zhong You vaguely felt something was wrong because of Zhou Pu's instructions before leaving.As soon as this case came out and Liu Qinghuan died, everyone felt that Chang Lehou would definitely take revenge, even Zhou Pu, who had read the case carefully, thought so—it was rather suspicious.Why does Marquis Changle need to act under the eyes of others?

The sugar in Zhong You's mouth melted away, he wanted to lick his lips, but Shi Yu turned his head first, and tasted it on his lips.Taking advantage of the afternoon heat, the young man supported the back of his head with one hand, pressed on his lips and said in a low voice: "The real and the fake will always show their tails. There are two of us, and we are not afraid of anyone."

Zhong You smiled and touched his lips.

A few days later, the academy was on holiday, and Pu Cheng went to the casino as usual.When the dark curtain was lifted, he stepped in, when a man came over and shouted to his face that the young master was here.Pu Cheng raised his finger casually, indicating that he was still at the old table.He walked in the past, and suddenly squeezed out a person, flatteringly said: "The little one kowtowed to Young Master Pu!"

The forehead slammed against his feet, Pu Cheng frowned, but he couldn't remember who this person was.This person had a broken index finger on his left hand lying on the ground, and because it was newly severed, it was still covered with blood.

Pu Cheng threw the money over and moved his foot away, "Why kneel, it's so dirty."

The man accepted it with a smile.It's strange that the guy who used to be next to Pu Cheng and wanted to stick to his side gave way, calmly and making room for this person.The man followed Pu Cheng all the way, and said earnestly, "Young Master, you still play tricks like before?"

"Isn't it every time?" Pu Cheng threw the purse and went over, "Are you new here?"

The man bowed his head and said, "Hey, hey! I'll arrange the dishes for you right away."

Pu Cheng played a few games, and this person followed by him. He spoke when he should speak, and when he shouldn't speak, he was quite witty, with a good look.No one made new tricks for Pu Cheng, he got bored after playing two games, and he had no money, so I gave it to this person.

The man pondered his expression, saw that the young man was a bit sleepy, so he whispered: "Are you tired, young master?"

"Nothing interesting." Pu Cheng tossed the dice, and said: "Call the manager later, this trick will not change, and the gambling house will also be open to death." He threw the dice, patted his robe, and said: "That's it Come on, I won't play today, let's go."

Pu Cheng wanted to leave, but this man bravely pulled the hem of his robe, and said repeatedly: "Wait!" He let go of Pu Cheng's frowning sullen eyes, and wiped a few hands on his robe. , swallowed his saliva, excited and tentative, said: "You, do you want to try something new?"

Pu Cheng raised his head, "Fresh?"

The man laughed lowly, and whispered with his mouth closed: "I'll show you, little one? It's sure to be enjoyable!"

Pu Cheng became interested, he paused his hand for lifting the robe, but his voice became lowered, "If it's not fun, why don't you give your head a kick?" The man flinched, and Pu Cheng sneered, "Give it to Grandpa to see. "

Xu Qingsheng slid down to pick up things, and while digging, his eyes were excited, full of madness and fiery color.
