Chapter 24 Crisis
Here comes!
Zhou Zheng kept waiting, but he didn't expect to wait so late.
Zhou Zheng looked at the servant at home, thought for a moment, and looked at Liu Liuzhe and said, "Liuzhe, you can continue to run around and find such five or six, two big ones, and a few small ones. I'll go back and come out soon."
Liu Liuzhe was worried about something in the mansion and said, "Second Young Master, why don't I go back to the mansion with you? Maybe I can help?"
Zhou Zheng had a very clear judgment on the current situation and said calmly: "It's okay, keep running, let's do things overnight and can't delay it."
This was the first time Liu Liuzhe saw Zhou Zheng's serious expression after he was crazy, and his expression also followed the solemn expression, saying, "Okay, Second Young Master, you go home, I'll go now!"
Zhou Zheng nodded, then gave instructions to Wei Huaide and his servants and maids, and hurried back to Zhou's mansion.
In the teahouse not far from this street, Cheng Jing saw Zhou Zheng leaving the shop and did not come to him, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "After all, he is a young man, I don't know that the world is dangerous..."
Zhou Zheng did not sell it to his shop, and Li Xiaoting was not able to explain it, so he had to find a way to deal with it.
On the second floor of a restaurant opposite Chengjin, Zhong Qinyong and Zhong Fendeng and his son were looking at Zhou Zheng’s shop.
Zhong Fenteng looked at Zhou Zheng's back, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and said happily, "Dad, Zhou Zheng must know, look how embarrassed his back is!"
The flesh on Zhong Qinyong's face moved, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Let's just use this little beast to attack! With this little beast in my hand, I have a way to pull Zhou Qingli in!"
Zhong Fenteng didn't know how angry he was for Zhou Zheng. He felt a faint pain in his liver, but he was very excited. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, treat this dog well for me. If I don't kill him, I can't get out of this anger!"
Zhong Qinyong has now become an eunuch party and is despised by Qingliu. His classmates, friends, relatives, teachers and students around him have written letters to curse and cut off relations. His hatred towards Zhou Qingli and the Zhou family is not much greater than that of his son Zhong Fen!
Zhong Qinyong's face twitched for a moment, his eyes were cold, and his ruthless expression was revealed.
...
Zhou Qingli was already waiting in the study room. When she saw Zhou Zheng coming in, there was a hint of color on her already deserted and dark face.
Zhou Qingli did not go around the corner and said, "I have sent a general article to the Ministry of Personnel in Taipu Temple, about you."
Zhou Zheng was not surprised and said, "I already know some news, what is it?"
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng with some surprise, and did not ask, saying, "I'm transferring you to Taipu Temple to serve as a recorder. The chief clerk is Zhong Qinyong."
The recorder is a minor official of the seventh rank, a chief clerk, and a sixth rank, and it is obvious one after another.
Zhou Zheng suddenly realized, calmly on his face, and thought, "This should not be a method of Gu Bingqian. It is probably done by considering Chi and the Zhong family."
Zhou Qingli said, "Well, I think so too. This article came very suddenly, and all the procedures were completed. When I knew it, it could not be changed. In the Taipu Temple, I ask you to go to the recruitment tomorrow."
When Zhou Zheng heard this, he was completely relieved. As long as it was not a secret activity, there was room for maneuver.
"Why don't you think you're sick?" Zhou Zheng asked. This is something he had thought about long ago. He didn't plan to enter the officialdom at this time.
Zhou Qingli thought of this solution and said, "What I worry about is that they have other means."
Zhou Zheng said 'yes' that only a thousand days of being a thief, but no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days of being a thief.
"Then I'll go?" Zhou Zhengdao. If this normal transfer is done, even if Zhong Qinyong makes any difficulties or even malicious frame-up, even if he is imprisoned, he will be washed away in the future. It is his glorious deeds of his heroic struggle with the eunuch party and a kind of capital.
Zhou Qingli shook her head flatly and said, "You don't know the dirty things in the officialdom, so you can't go. I'm trying to delay for two or three days at the Ministry of Personnel to make you feel free to stay away from Zhong Qinyong."
Zhou Zheng nodded without any hesitation, looked at Mr. Zhou's frown, and said, "Who have resigned?"
Zhou Qingli looked up at Zhou Zheng, his face became heavier and he nodded silently.
The eunuch party is powerful, and even if the Qingliu in the court is not the Donglin party, it has been greatly excluded and attacked. No matter how far it hides, it is useless.
Zhou Qingli and the people behind him all wanted to try their best to avoid party struggles, but in a chaotic officialdom, there was no pure place, let alone a place like the Ministry of Personnel.
Zhou Zheng thought seriously and suggested for the third time: "Resign from his post."
Zhou Qingli seemed a little immune, stood up with a headache, and said, "Let's talk about it, settle your affairs first, don't be impulsive these days."
Seeing that Mr. Zhou was a little discouraged, Zhou Zheng hesitated slightly, and comforted him: "Dad, if you want to do things, then hold on and don't waver. Now is the darkest part before dawn."
For Qingliu, this is indeed the dimest time, something that Chengzu has never seen before. But after next year, the eunuch party will be liquidated.
Since Zhou Zheng's "crazy", he rarely called out the word "dad". Zhou Qingli listened and looked at Zhou Zheng's carefree expression and said with relief: "Well, at worst, I can resign from my office, don't worry."
Seeing this, Zhou Zheng felt a little relieved and suddenly said, "King Xin, are you familiar with Dad?"
Zhou Qingli was stunned, thought about it seriously, and said, "King Xin has not yet been a vassal, lives in the ten kings' mansion, rarely appears, and has never seen his father. However, it is said that he has extraordinary demeanor, respects and low-ranking scholars, and has few royal family members."
The Ming Dynasty royal family was raised as a pigpen, and very few could do it. If you seriously consider it, I believe in King Zhu Youjian, who is really outstanding!
Zhou Zheng just pointed out this sentence and didn't say more. Who would have thought that Emperor Tianqi, who was in his twenties, would die quickly next year?
Zhou Qingli didn't care, so she said a few words and left the mansion in a hurry.
In recent years, the Ministry of Personnel has a lot of affairs. As the official of the examination department, the assessment tasks are naturally heavier.
Zhou Zheng then went out, and he needed to hurry up, and things became a little urgent.
It was already dark, and Zhou Zheng met with Liu Liuzhe and looked for various teeth.
This is a very small tooth shop, in a remote place at the end of the alley. The boss is a woman with a slanted eyebrows, a pointed chin, and casually lifting her eyelids. She looked at her clothes first.
The Zhou family is a Qinggui family. Zhou Zheng’s clothes are very ordinary. She threw away the melon seeds in her hand and sat on a stool. She said in a less enthusiastic tone, "What are you going to do?"
Zhou Zheng didn't care at all, sat opposite her and said, "It's a big deal to do business with you."
The woman snorted coldly, rolled her eyes and said, "Look, this place is a place for big business?"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I will tell you the method. Do what I said. As long as you have enough connections, whether a month is ten taels or fifty taels depends on your ability."
The woman's expression changed slightly, she sat upright and looked at Zhou Zheng, and said suspiciously, "Fifty taels? Are you teasing me, aren't you?"
Zhou Zheng smiled deep, and he got closer and started talking.
Half an hour later, the woman sent Zhou Zheng out enthusiastically and said, "Oh, Mr. Zhou, it's really a small place, and my man is not here either, otherwise I will definitely treat you well..."
Zhou Zheng politely turned around and headed to the next house.
