Chapter 259 The Traitor of the Salt Merchant
Zhou Zheng now has countless pairs of eyes staring at him, and his Jiujiang Pavilion naturally fell into the eyes of many people.
He Qitu has now resigned from his post and hastened to Cui's mansion from outside. He looked at Cui Chengxiu and said, "Sir, Zhou Zheng's Qingwang has suddenly raised so much, so it's even more difficult to deal with him."
Cui Chengxiu was writing something in the study. He frowned as he listened to He Qitu's words. The originally flowing pen stopped, then put down the pen and looked up at He Qitu, but did not speak.
He competed with Zhou Zheng for patience. The more calm Zhou Zheng was, the more impatient and uneasy he became.
Zhou Zheng did things in an orderly manner, and Cui Chengxiu gradually became a little panicked.
What methods does Zhou Zheng have? What exactly does he want to do?
Choi Chengxiu couldn't figure it out, thought for a while, and said, "Prepare a gift and send it to him."
He Qitu was stunned and said, "Sir, do you want to give him a gift?"
Cui Chengxiu looked as usual and said, "Just be casual, don't be higher than ten taels."
He Qitu immediately understood that Cui Chengxiu had to test Zhou Zheng, or give Zhou Zheng a signal.
"Yes, the official understands." He Qitu said.
Cui Chengxiu looked at the words on the table and said, "I heard that Zhou Shangshu retired and was taken away by the emperor?"
He Qitu looked solemn and said, "Yes. The emperor recruited Shangshu Zhou into the palace and even used food together."
A smile appeared on Cui Chengxiu's face and said, "Zhou Mao has been in charge of many years, and he has worked hard without any credit. The emperor will not let him go."
Seeing Cui Chengxiu's smile on her face, He Qitu said cautiously: "Sir, I heard that Eunuch Wei rarely left the palace recently, and he went to the Qianqing Palace more diligently than before."
Cui Chengxiu naturally knew about Qian Jiazheng's ten major crimes of impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, and his face relaxed more and more, and he said, "When the late emperor passed away, we were all on the side of the bed. The late emperor told the emperor that 'Zhongxian was vigilant and could be considered a big deal'. I think the emperor understood that the court could not live without Duke Wei. A slutty person, who was unpredictable and would not succeed."
He Qitu was a little further away from the top management, and he felt a lot more relieved when he listened to Cui Chengxiu's words.
At least, Wei Zhongxian will not have any trouble in a short period of time, and the eunuch party is still the eunuch party!
In response to Cui Chengxiu's words, He Qitu prepared a gift, which was a square of inkstone, and sent it to Jiujiang Pavilion.
Zhou Zheng is still in Jiujiang Pavilion at this moment, and is arranging Kou Huaiyi and others to do things.
The ‘library’ has just been established, and many people came on the first day, and various problems arose. Zhou Zheng needs to correct them, make up for them, and strengthen some management rules.
In addition to Kou Huaiyi and other down-and-out scholars who were originally in Zhou Ji, there were nearly seven or eight newcomers scattered on various floors and doing all kinds of things.
Compared with Zhang Heyi, Kou Huaiyi was more calm and carried out most of the affairs of Jiujiang Pavilion. He now held an inkstone in his hand and said, "Boss, this was sent by Cui Shangshu's family, saying that he was congratulating the opening of Jiujiang Pavilion."
Zhou Zheng looked at it and couldn't tell the difference. After thinking about it, he said, "Twist it into the garbage dump on the side of the road. From now on, the Cui family or something of unknown origin will be handled accordingly."
Kou Huaiyi knew about Zhou Zheng’s grudges with the Cui family and said, “Yes.”
Zhou Zheng said huh, "Be careful when issuing reading certificates, take your time, and don't put them all in in a hurry. Also, check it clearly and don't let people with ulterior motives come in."
Most of Jiujiang Pavilion are books. If it is a little hot, it can really be burned!
Kou Huaiyi looked upright and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will take it all my strength to ensure that nothing happens!"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I know you have good talent, but you are not lucky. Let's do this. Help me to the end of the year. Next year, I recommend you to the officialdom."
Kou Huaiyi was waiting for Zhou Zheng's words, and quickly raised his hand excitedly and said, "Thank you, my boss."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Tell others that as long as they do well, I will give them a chance. Don't think that they will be a small labourer here for the rest of their lives."
Kou Huaiyi thought of Zhang Heyi and said, "Yes, I will pass on the boss's words to them later."
Zhou Zheng didn't say anything anymore and cleaned up the table. There were too many people coming today, so he needed to digest it carefully.
Until dark, Zhou Zheng did not return to his house. There were too many things happening in Jiujiang Pavilion. He inspected them four or five times and ate dinner here.
Kou Huaiyi and others were also very busy. At the beginning, there were always too many things.
Until midnight, Zhou Zheng's room was still brightly lit.
At this time, Liu Liuzhe quietly stepped in, walked to Zhou Zheng, and whispered mysteriously: "Second Young Master, someone is asking for a meeting."
Zhou Zheng looked at the information about the person who came today without raising his head and said, "Who is it?"
"Young Master Yang." Liu Liuzhe said in a low voice.
Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly, and he raised his head and said, "What are he here to do?"
Liu Liuzhe said: "He said he came to surrender."
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, looked inexplicably on his face, and said to himself: "Submit?"
Liu Liuzhe looked at Zhou Zheng and nodded heavily.
Looking at Liu Liuzhe's expression, Zhou Zhengruo understood and said, "Take him in."
Liu Liuzhe agreed and quickly turned around and went out.
Young Master Yang was dressed in black and covered his face with a cloak.
Zhou Zheng sat on the chair, looking at Yang Si Shao's outfit, smiling without saying a word.
Yang Si Shao's swollen eyes became more and more swollen. He took off his cloak and stood in front of Zhou Zheng, with a look of hesitation on his face.
He looked at Zhou Zheng's smile and gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm here to surrender."
"You come to surrender, you should have brought a letter of vote?" Zhou Zhengdao. This Si Shao Yang is really interesting. He actually rebels from the salt merchant? Is there something wrong with the salt merchant, or is it that Si Shao Yang knows that he is going to be abandoned, or is it a trap?
Yang Sishao looked at Zhou Zheng, and his expression struggled the more he took out an account book from his arms and said, "This is a list of all the industries and persons in charge of the Yang family. I know, this is very useful to you."
Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Young Master Yang, without reaching out to pick him up.
The salt merchant attacked him not once or twice, nor did he counterattack him again or twice, so the salt merchant saw that some of his purposes were not surprising, but it was a bit unusual for Yang Si to directly hold the Yang family's account books and roster.
Young Master Yang looked at Zhou Zheng's expression, frowned, and raised his hand and said, "I don't want to die!"
Zhou Zheng looked at him and remained motionless for a long time until Yang Si Shao could not hold on anymore, and he said: "I also want information about the eighteen major salt merchants in Huaiyang. In addition, Shanxi Fan Family, Jin Family, Liang Family, Tian Family, Wang Family, Zhai Family, Two Wangs, and Huang Family Information, specific names and information, I will give you, and you will find out for me quietly."
Young Master Yang looked at Zhou Zheng with shock, his mind was shocked and confused.
