Chapter 56 An Oolong
Wei Xizhuang is having a meal in the teahouse now, stepping on one foot on the stool, picking teeth and shaking legs, which is so comfortable.
He Qishou stood in front of him and smiled and said, "Boss, Mr. Zhou's method is indeed very effective. At present, each shop is basically equivalent to taking off his hands. In other yards, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., it has taken almost 30,000 taels."
Wei Xizhuang took out a toothpick, licked his teeth, and said with satisfaction: "Well, Boy Zhou is still very good, it's not a waste of me to cultivate him..."
He Qishou smiled and was about to speak when a friend came up and said, "The boss, the shopkeeper, there is a young master Zhou below who wants to meet the boss."
Wei Xizhuang was stunned, then smiled proudly and said, "Haha, Boy Zhou finally asked to come to the door. Do you want me to let him go for a while and make him anxious?"
He Qishou looked at Wei Xizhuang's expression and hesitated, saying, "Boss, I'm afraid I can't wait for this matter."
Wei Xizhuang looked at He Qishou's expression, his smile gradually faded, he lowered his legs and said, "Boy Zhou is in trouble?"
He Qishou stepped forward and whispered: "Someone beats the drum, the emperor knows it. It's about Li Shi."
When Wei Xizhuang heard the name "Li Shi", he frowned and said disgustedly: "Boy Zhou has messed with this doggy?"
He Qishou said: "No, this case was initiated by Li Shi. Mr. Zhou was the rotating censor on the day and the supervisory censor in Daohuzhou, Zhejiang. This case fell on him."
Wei Xizhuang raised his head and looked at He Qishou in confusion, "Why does it sound a little weird?"
He Qishou had naturally noticed it and said, "There is something strange. The young man sent someone to check it, but nothing was found."
Wei Xizhuang looked a little solemn, squinted at the window, and a sneered sneered at the corner of his mouth, "It's even more strange if I didn't find out! Zhou Zhengyun is a young man, who is just starting out and has no background. If there is anything worth targeting him like this, I'm afraid it's not for me!"
He Qishou's expression sterned. He hadn't thought about this possibility before, so he hurriedly said: "Who will the boss?"
Wei Xizhuang shook his head and said, "I offended too many people. I don't know if I feel that I have been guilty. I can't guess, let Boy Zhou come in first."
He Qishou waved his hand and the guy ran out quickly.
Zhou Zheng went upstairs, and Wei Xizhuang smiled and shaved his teeth and shouted, "Boy, I heard you have been in trouble. Are you here to ask me for help?"
Zhou sat down opposite him, poured a cup of tea on his own, as if he hadn't heard his ridicule, and said, "I've been a strange thing since I entered the Censorate, and now I've even more strange things. Do you think it's strange?"
Wei Xizhuang was stunned, and his shaved hands stopped, looking at Zhou Zheng's face, and said, "Do you suspect that I brought you into the Censorate?"
Zhou Zheng originally complained casually, but listening to Wei Xizhuang's question, his hands that were about to drink tea were prepared and looked up at Wei Xizhuang.
Wei Xizhuang, why did there be such a rhetorical question?
Wei Xizhuang looked at Zhou Zheng's expression, coughed quickly, and said seriously: "I heard about you. Well, it's quite tricky. What are you going to do?"
Zhou Zheng put down the teacup, looked at Wei Xizhuang with cold eyes, and said, "You brought me into the Censorate. This matter was also arranged by you. What do you want to do?"
Wei Xizhuang looked at Zhou Zheng's cold face and hurriedly said, "I admit that I got you into the Censorate, but I didn't do this. How could I harm you?"
Zhou Zheng's face was filled with anger and stared at Wei Xizhuang and said, "Why did you bring me into the Censorate? If you want to enter the Meridian Gate, you must have the tacit approval of the Jinyiwei! I have no grudges and no grudges with you, and I have also helped you a lot of people. Why did you harm me so much!"
Wei Xizhuang looked laughing and laughing, but she couldn't explain this matter thoroughly. Could it be that telling Zhou Zheng was a prank on a whim?
No one will believe it!
He Qishou looked at Zhou Zheng's expression, pondered and walked forward, saying, "Young Master Zhou, I can testify for my boss about this matter. It is indeed not done by the boss. It is a bit strange, and we are still investigating it."
Zhou Zheng sneered and still stared at Wei Xizhuang and said, "I want all the case sects in this matter, especially Shangguan Xun and Li Shi. Their past, even if they go to the toilet a few times a day, I want it, how many days do you want!"
Wei Xizhuang was numb when Zhou Zheng stared at her scalp and had a headache, and said, "Ten days, no, five days, five days, right? I'll do it for you? I said, brother, I know you have helped me a lot. I remember your good deeds. I originally transferred you to the Censorate to fix you, but that was the seventh-rank supervisor. How many people can't steal the head? I don't think I'm going to harm you..."
Zhou Zheng snorted coldly, stood up and said, "Three days later, I will send someone to pick it up. If not, I will burn your teahouse! Also, Shangguan Xun will take good care of me, otherwise I will burn all your shops!"
After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he left with great strides.
"Hey, Zhou Zhengyun, no, I said, you, hey..." Wei Xizhuang stood at the table, waved to Zhou Zheng, and watched Zhou Zheng go downstairs.
Wei Xizhuang felt uncomfortable and became angry. He turned to He Qishou and said, "Old He, it's not my fault for this matter, are you? Is it necessary for Boy Zhou to get so angry? A seventh-rank official, he has been in a 20-year span. He has reached the top in one step, right?"
He Qishou laughed and said, "Young Master Zhou's reaction is understandable. The boss's top priority is to find out who is manipulating this matter behind the scenes, what is the purpose, and is it for the boss?"
What Wei Xizhuang has done in recent years is to follow the Jinyiwei to search the house, arrest people, interrogate them, and offend countless people. He wants to take revenge, just like the Qing of the River.
Wei Xizhuang looked serious, his face changed, his eyes turned cold, and he said, "You are right, I'll go back and check it now. You use your relationship and touch it first. I want to see who wants to touch me!"
Wei Xizhuang is also a nine-thousand-year-old grandson. Even the civil servants and bosses of the eunuch party must be polite when they see him. How could he not be angry at all?
He Qishou nodded and said, "By the way, don't make a statement before you find out this matter. Eunuch Li is a celebrity around Jiu Qiansui, and he can speak in front of the emperor."
Wei Xizhuang took a deep breath and said, "I understand, I'll leave first. You can stare at Boy Zhou, don't let him do stupid things impulsively."
He Qishou said: "Yes, I'll send someone to stare at it."
Wei Xizhuang didn't say anything more and hurriedly left with a knife.
Zhou Zheng, who thought Wei Xizhuang could do stupid things, turned around the corner, poked his head out to observe the teahouse quietly, waited for a while, turned around and left with a calm expression.
Zhou Zheng’s anger just now was half true and half false. It was Wei Xizhuang who sent him to the Censorate, which surprised Zhou Zheng, but he was relieved, at least it was not an invisible black hand.
As for Wei Xizhuang's design behind his back, Zhou Zheng didn't believe it. Wei Xizhuang didn't need this. If you really want him to help, Wei Xizhuang would probably talk directly with his personality. Besides, Wei Xizhuang couldn't make such a precise design.
Zhou Zheng was half true and half false, but he was just using this to test pressure on Wei Xizhuang and asked him to help investigate some things. Otherwise, according to Wei Xizhuang's personality, seven out of ten would shirk or make a deal with him.
Wei Xizhuang didn't know that Zhou Zheng wasn't really angry, and Zhou Zheng didn't know that Wei Xizhuang suspected that this matter was not directed at Zhou Zheng, but was heading for him.
