Chapter 749: The emperor wants to clean up you
Chapter 749: The Emperor wants to deal with you
Mrs. Zhou talked to Zhou Zheng, and when she saw that Zhou Zheng was having a good meal, she also felt relieved and retreated.
Only Zhou Zheng and Shen Ao were left in the room. They sat down silently. Zhou Zheng said, "Do you want to have tea?"
Chen Ao shook his head and said, "What exactly is it that Lord Taishan delayed the purchase of grain?"
Zhou Zheng sighed. At this time, he showed a look of unscathing and was sitting lightly and drank a sip of tea. It was probably not good for the tea. When he swallowed it, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then said, "A dou of grain is seven stakes, I dare not buy this grain."
Chen Ao was moved after hearing this, and a dou of grain was seven stakes... The price of grain in the Song Dynasty was only a hundred stakes at the highest level. Moreover, the merchants in Taiyuan still sold old grain, and most of them had not even opened the grain, and the price actually rose to 170 times.
Zhou Zheng continued to smile bitterly and said, "It is a sin if I don't buy food. If I buy it, it is also a sin. I never thought that this time I was in the imperial life, but it turned out that I was in a dead end."
Chen Ao said: "Since Lord Taishan is an imperial envoy, why don't he order merchants to hand over the grain and settle the settlement at the market price?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "I originally had this idea, but Taiyuan was in a state of turmoil. As soon as he got off the *** and arrived at Taiyuan Prefecture, the news leaked." He paused for a moment and said lightly: "After that someone incited the besiege of the imperial envoy, the border troops suppressed it, and I became a guilty man."
Chen Ao smiled coldly and said, "These people are quite brave."
Zhou Zheng said casually: "That's what happens in the officialdom. With the benefits of star points, some people are willing to take risks, let alone such huge profits."
Chen Ao said lightly: "Has Lord Taishan ever submitted a memorial to make a defense?"
Zhou Zheng sighed, his face looked even worse, and said, "I just defended myself, but I was criticized for being arguing. After all, it has aroused public changes. What's the use of having a hundred mouths?" He was silent for a moment and continued, "It's Your Majesty. In order to calm the public anger, even if I know my grievances, I'm afraid I will still be severely punished after the trial."
Chen Ao was slightly surprised. Zhou Zheng said nothing wrong. The palace may not want to figure out the whole story at the moment. I am afraid that people will have more thoughts. As long as they can calm down the long mouths of the people of the world, suppress the collapse of the earth, and sacrifice a duke, what is that?
In other words, even if the truth is revealed, Zhou Zheng will not be able to save him. Zhou Zheng has already taken the blame.
Seeing that Chen Ao's face was not good, Zhou Zheng said lightly: "Chen Ao, I heard from me that I know that you can't bear to see me like this, but now that I have reached this point, remember, don't involve it. The facts of land collapse and civil unrest are too great. Even if you are polite, you will never be able to turn the world around. A hero cuts his arm, and a real man should break it. You just need to remember to support your aunt in the future and treat Ruoer well..." He sighed and slowly closed his eyes and said, "As for Heng'er, I just hope that he will experience this family change and grow up. In the future, the Zhou family will depend on him."
Zhou Zheng was imprisoned here, thinking about many things, and now he told Shen Ao all the time, who can trust in the court, who cannot trust, who is a flatterer, who is a sincere gentleman. Seeing noon, someone had already leaned out of the door, Chen Ao suddenly stood up and said, "The hero cut off his arm, Chen Ao can't learn, uncle, don't worry, if I, Chen Ao, are there, you will definitely not be wronged."
After saying that, Chen Ao turned around and saw two little officials looking around outside. Chen Ao said coldly: "What are you looking at?"
The little official was so scared that he was out of his mind. Qiqiai said, "It's too late, Your Highness should go back."
Chen Ao suddenly showed a faint smile, pulled out two hundred-ton coins of money from his sleeve, and one of them sent one, saying, "Take it for tea, my father-in-law will give it to you to take care of." Then, he raised his face again and said coldly: "If you are not considerate, don't blame me for turning against others!"
After leaving Dali Temple, Mrs. Zhou and Ruoer were still waiting. The sky cleared and colorful clouds floated in the sky. The rain made the air cooler. Liu Wen took a cloak and put it on Chen Ao. Chen Ao said to Mrs. Zhou: "Don't worry, aunt, uncle will be fine." He didn't know how many times he said this, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only parrot like this.
Then she walked to Zhou Ruo. Zhou Ruo's tears were not wiped clean, and there were traces on the white skin on her pretty face. She was no longer afraid at this time. She was so nervous that she was frightened and worried. Chen Ao threw him to Java as soon as she came. Instead, she also comforted Mrs. Zhou and deliberately showed a sweet smile. Although this smile was a little haggard, she had a different kind of charm.
"Mom, Chen Ao is back, what are you afraid of? We don't have to worry about it. I am worried that my father has lived here for a long time and is not used to returning to the mansion."
Her joke was not funny at all, but the lady pursed her lips and showed a faint smile. Chen Ao also laughed foolishly: "Hahahaha..."
Seeing that no one responded, Chen Ao stopped laughing abruptly awkwardly and said to Liu Wen: "Master Liu, I have lived in the Duke's Mansion these days. You go back and clean up the attic first."
Liu Wen responded happily, and Zhou Ruo accompanied Mrs. Zhou to the carriage in front. Chen Ao also wanted to squeeze in, but suddenly felt it was inappropriate and said to Zhou Hengnu: "Why don't you get on the car quickly." He accompanied Zhenzhen, Moer and Chuner into the car.
When he arrived at the Zhou Mansion, Chen Ao couldn't support it after eating, so he went to sleep for a while. He didn't take a good rest for several days. This sleep was very sweet. When he got up, he found that there was no one in the tent, with thin fur and curtains, and only one of them was alone. He thought to himself, Ruoer and the others had gone, and his life was really miserable. When his husband came back, he didn't see anyone coming to bed. He shook his head in annoyance. After looking at the sky, he found that the sky was approaching dawn and had slept for half a day and night. He had already planned to enter the palace today, so he simply woke up a servant outside who was on duty and asked him to prepare for himself.
After washing up, it was already dawn and I wore dry new clothes, and I felt much more energetic.
"I don't know how the emperor has been recently, so I must have been frightened by the ground collapse." Chen Ao thought aimlessly. Since he had made up his mind to rescue Zhou Zheng, he was not worried at all at this time. He was so quiet that he was still called Lone?
A heavy rain washed away a lot of dust and the air was extremely fresh. I went to the Buddhist temple to see my wife first, but then I found that Zhou Ruo and others were there. Chen Ao raised his legs and laughed and said, "So you are here, hiding in the Buddhist temple to disturb your aunt's hard practice."
Tang Moer looked through the Buddhist scriptures calmly and said, "Who said that, my wife asked me to explain Buddhist principles to her."
Zhenzhen smiled and said, "The more you explain the Buddhist principles, the more you become, the more you can't understand them."
Zhou Ruo must have not slept well last night, and she looked extremely delicate and haggard, but when she saw Chen Ao, her mind seemed to be calm, and her body involuntarily leaned towards Chen Ao.
Chun'er personally took a tea cup from a girl's hand to serve Mrs. Zhou. At this time, Mrs. Zhou finally saw a few smiles and said, "No need Chun'er to serve her, Chun'er just sit down and talks."
Chen Ao found a cushion and sat down cross-legged, and said, "Auntie's face is better. Why not go find a place to play in a few days? Today I will go to the palace. My uncle's affairs cannot be solved in a short time, but there is no need to hurry. As long as the person is still there, there will always be a solution."
Chen Ao comforted him for a few words before coming out of the Buddhist temple. He went to the front of the Zhou Mansion with a vigorous spirit and rode a horse, and walked towards the palace with a few guards. He wandered around to a street market. He fell down and saw an old man holding a candy man. He felt it was fresh, so he said to the old man: "Can you sir, I'll pay ten cents of money to buy it."
Seeing Chen Ao wearing official uniform, the old man couldn't tell how noble he was. He was flattered and said, "I don't know what the official wants to pinch?"
Chen Ao thought for a while and said, "Cut the wind for me."
Feng'er... This made the old man embarrassed. He looked at Chen Ao, confirmed that Chen Ao was not a prank, and said, "Feng Wuchang, how to pinch it?"
Chen Ao laughed and said, "That's better, just pinch a basin and have a lid on it."
The old man said, "How old should it be?"
Chen Ao thought for a while and said, "Of course the bigger the better." He took out a hundred-ton coins of money from his arms and said with a smile: "I always say I won't let you break the original."
The old man's eyes lit up and he didn't even do business. He said, "I live not far away. I want to make a big pot and come out, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient to come here, so I asked the official to go with the old man to pinch it."
Chen Ao seemed very excited, so he followed the old man to a small courtyard with a single door. The courtyard was a bit dirty and narrow. There were also many weeds in the courtyard. After entering, the old man asked Chen Ao to sit down in a wing room, and took the candy noodles and tools to pinch it on the spot. However, an old woman's voice came from the room next door: "Why did you come back so early today?"
The old man said to the old woman next door: "I have a distinguished guest today, so I won't tell you first."
Chen Ao listened interestingly and asked, "Why didn't the old lady come out to entertain guests?"
The old man pinched the candy man with both hands very quickly and said, "It's inconvenient to your hands and feet when you are old." He patted his legs with a smile, and said, "The legs are lame."
Chen Ao pursed his lips, smiled faintly, pulled out the fan from his waist, and suffused.
Half an hour passed before the copper basin was pinched. The old man chatted with Shen Ao for a while, and then he was a little familiar with it, and then he joked: "Does the official want to make a copper basin and eat it?"
Chen Ao shook his head and said, "I'm not a child, why do I eat this? I took it to give a gift."
The old man smiled and said, "The little old man has lived a long life and has never heard of a candy person giving gifts. I don't know who is giving gifts?" After saying that, he felt a little rude and shouldn't ask such a question, so he slapped himself in the mouth and said, "Damn, damn, I've talked a little more today, so don't blame the officials."
Chen Ao shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not bad to tell you. This candy basin is for the emperor. Ming*** played the signboard and said that the emperor had eaten your candy man."
The old man was stunned for a moment, just thinking that Chen Ao was joking, but Su Rong reminded Chen Ao: "It's better to say less about such taboos. The official has a bright future. How can he ruin himself for this?"
The old man skillfully wrapped the copper basin with oil paper and sent it to Chen Ao's hand. Chen Ao originally wanted to give him a hundred guan, but hesitated for a moment and pulled out a few extra hundred guan bills from his sleeve and stuffed them to the old man.
While being generous, his face twitched, and his heart was bleeding!
The old man happily took Qian Yin and sent Chen Ao out with great gratitude. Chen Ao said in his heart that this old man must have done it on purpose, to win my sympathy, otherwise why wouldn't he even be polite? If he was polite, Chen Ao might have taken the money back to take back.
Carrying a copper basin wrapped in oil paper, Chen Ao was not in a hurry to enter the palace. Instead, he wandered around the street market. After spending forty cents to buy a silver-plated brocade box, he put the sugar man in it and thought comfortably that Bianjing is indeed good, and there are all kinds of treasures in the world.
When he arrived at Zhengde Gate, he would just take a horse in the brocade box without reporting, and then go to the warm pavilion. When Yang Jian saw him wave to him; Chen Ao smiled and hugged the brocade box, Yang Jian said, "Did you beat the Marquis of Yiyang last night?"
Chen Ao knew that the news would definitely not be hidden, so he nodded and said, "What? Your Majesty is angry?"
Yang Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty said you want to deal with you."
Chen Ao curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty is reluctant to give up."
Yang Jian first reported and then led Chen Ao in. Chen Ao went in and saluted, and looked up slightly. He saw Zhao Ji staring at him naked, with a stern face looking furious.
Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, how are Your Majesty okay?"
This sentence was full of emotion, which made Zhao Ji smile, and his face could no longer be sluggish. He snorted coldly, "You did a good thing."
Chen Ao said lightly: "There are too many facts that I have done well. I wonder which one is your Majesty talking about?"
The match was a bit ruthless, and it was obvious that it was cheating and there was no sincerity to regret. Yang Jian stood beside him, his face almost deformed in distortion, and sighed in his heart. This guy is so smart, why is he so confused today?
I was just scolded obediently, but I had to stubbornly push it. Isn’t this going to make small things big?
