Chapter 860: Joining hands with Infernal Affairs
Feng Bao seemed to be very satisfied with Cheng Naixuan's statement, and laughed: "Wang Fulin is really lucky to have a good friend like you."
But after praising Cheng Naixuan, he suddenly changed his tone: "Since Zhang Taiyue was the chief minister, I, the chief seal of the Sili, have never refuted his tickets, and they all criticized the news. Even the first to make trouble, I was just to prevent someone from playing tricks during his departure from Beijing. When Zhang Taiyue was trying to clean up the door because of You Qihu, I have now taken away Xu Jue by my side. But now You Qi and Xu Jue are gone, and he will not help but believe it all. Do you understand what I mean?"
It would be strange if you don’t understand! Isn’t it just that you are bitten by a snake and are afraid of the rope for ten years? But what does this have to do with me? Could it be that I will replace Xu Jue as your disciple? What a joke, I will not do it!
Cheng Naixuan was furious in his heart, but his face seemed to be stunned because Xu Jue was removed. After a while, he said: "The strictness of Yuan Fu and Eunuch Feng's subordinates is really admirable."
"Wang Fulin once repeatedly asked Zhang Taiyue to resign as the censor of the Taoist Censor. Although he had many amazing actions in the Censorate, he was more likely to be unsuspecting me and I would not offend others. You are also satisfied with this position. After you entered the Sixth Casino, you did not act rashly, in order to become famous overnight. You did not show any signs of being in front of the Seal Officer. If you want to ask for leave, you are a true person. I came to you tonight just for one thing. If there is something important between Zhang Taiyue and I in the future, you will bring a letter to Wang Fulin. I think you are a Jinshi and now you are a member of the Taoist Officer. You are not as selfish as a fugitive slave."
Is this a way to let him and Wang Fulin be the bridge between Zhang and Feng? Is this a joke?
Master Cheng's face was really as stupid as a wooden fish. In Feng Bao's eyes, his stupidity was filled with a smile.
However, Cheng Naixuan finally couldn't help but ask the words he had held in his heart.
"Eunuch Feng doesn't think it's also a very conspicuous thing for you to go to and from the Sixth Casino in person?"
Feng Bao came here today and said this was still a test. After all, he didn't pay much attention to Cheng Naixuan in the past. Now it would be a joke to say that he suddenly asked for something big. However, when he heard Cheng Naixuan agreed happily, he felt that it was quite risky to do so. He felt that he had a good view of others, but he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"The Liuke Galleries have a total of six managers, all of whom come from my own disciples. What's more, the Sili Supervisor sent people to the Liuke Galleries to deliver memorials at night. Do you think I will come to you every now and then?"
Just don’t come often! If I really get caught, wouldn’t I also get involved in the reputation of the eunuch?
Cheng Naixuan only felt that Feng Bao was because there was You Qi in front and Xu Jue in the back. He was too alert and was too alert. So he didn't need to pretend to be helpless. He immediately said in a low voice: "When Yuan Fu comes, he will definitely stay in the cabinet often. Eunuch Feng, you have this time to come to me in the evening. Isn't it appropriate to go directly to the cabinet to consult with Yuan Fu? One sentence changed three or four. Wouldn't it be unfair if it was spread wrong?"
This lazy boy!
Feng Bao came to imagine the reaction of Cheng Naixuan. Either he agreed happily, or he refused with righteousness, or he would argue with the conditions. However, Cheng Naixuan did not mention the conditions, but he felt that it was inconvenient and unsafe to do so, and he was a little surprised. Therefore, when Cheng Naixuan stood up and saluted, he sincerely stated that it was not that he refused to do it, but that this method of information transmission was really not efficient enough, but that he smiled.
"Very good, I am worthy of being Wang Fulin's best friend. I just pretended that I had never said anything."
Huh? I haven’t had time to ask for some conditions yet, this is really a loss!
Cheng Naixuan suddenly felt a little regretful, thinking that he would have said too much, so he offended Feng Bao? Such a big eunuch said that his mind was smaller than a needle, not because his roundabout persuasion made people unhappy? Thinking of this, his face was very unnatural, but it was impossible to change his words and agree at this time. He had to stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
"Then I will change the word. I won't come to Liuke Galleries often, and I won't let you talk to you in everything. Of course, I still have a few trusted people under my command. If I want to go to the cabinet to find Zhang Taiyue, it's okay, but if I encounter important things at critical moments, such as Zhang Taiyue is sick, or when he was at home, the eunuchs' communication was too conspicuous, and if things like handwritten fall into people's hands, it's a problem. Even if it's a word, if the person's mouth is not firm, it's a disaster. Moreover, when you experience Gao Gong Manuscripts, anyone can learn a lesson, and some things cannot be put on paper."
Speaking of this, Feng Bao even regretted that he had heard Xu Jue's instigation, so he took the picture of the Qingming River. Now there are no sequelae in this matter. It is because of this that he doesn't want to accept people at will. He released the news that he wanted to recruit guests, and that he would definitely respond. He was worried about not having talents, but talents and confidants are different! Zhang Juzheng is not the same, because of You Qi's incident, and his subordinates are not responsible for one person! This is the same as Taizu of this dynasty abolished the prime minister.
Seeing Cheng Naixuan's face hesitation and as if he was still hesitating, Feng Bao then threw out his most important killer weapon.
"I heard that Ling Zun is the salt of the Hui Gang? The sacrificial wine? Huai salt and salt are becoming more and more difficult to find in recent years. Although the Shanxi merchants lost a lot, they are now making a comeback. Ling Zun seems to have just been cheated." Feng Bao saw Cheng Naixuan's face changed drastically. He knew that the father and son were in love with each other, so he laughed, "But Ling Zun is a veteran after all. After a counterattack, he also found some places. Hui merchant Wang Chengxu had advanced and retreated together before, but the boss of the Xu family business was in charge, and the second and third brothers were in a hurry. It was not surprising that he led the wolf into the house."
Cheng Naixuan did not expect that his father, who had always been cautious, would suffer losses, but as soon as he learned that the person who made his father suffer was the second and third brother of the Xu family, his expression changed. Although Mr. Xu had been from an old house on Guidoushan Street, Yangzhou, his family affairs had not been completely let go. Under his strong suggestion, the Xu family's salt merchant business in Yangzhou was taken over by Mr. Xu, while Mr. Xu Er and Mr. Xu San were in charge of the property of the family's Tianmu and other places. Over time, he felt resentful, so he seduced outsiders to ruin his own affairs. This was not surprising.
However, what he didn't expect was that Feng Bao, the chief supervisor of the Sili, would even bother to understand the little disputes between Hui merchants! He would not think that he was so important. After all, he used to be a clerk in the Sixth Corridor who was just a servant who was waiting to die. So, was it because of Wang Fulin?
Knowing that something was wrong with his father, Cheng Naixuan didn't have to pretend to be worried. Although he had been making a fuss when he was a teenager, he was a filial son. At this moment, since he realized that Feng Bao threw out this news at the right time, it was not just for the purpose of informing him or reminding him, but for the faint sense of threats. However, he still had to say more sincerely and sincerely: "Thank you, Eunuch Feng, otherwise my father would never mention these business affairs to me."
Since he became an official, his father has lost his desire to do business, hoping that someone among his future sons will have such a business mind.
Feng Bao was expected to thank Cheng Naixuan, and he said lightly: "Although His Highness Lu Wang did not have a vassal, the old Empress Ci Sheng loved him very much, so she hired him for two consecutive years, with 50,000 citations of Huai salt every year. However, he had not yet opened a government office to become a vassal. These citations were originally managed by the internal officials, and it was enough to put the money into the internal treasury, but the internal officials were not as good as salt merchants after all. If I handed this salt intake to Ling Zun, his originally in danger of the Hui Bang salt? The position of the wine sacrificial wine will be stabilized."
This is really an amazing bait!
Not to mention that Cheng Naixuan regretted that he was too refusing to refuse, he might anger Feng Bao. At this moment, he knew that even a hook would have to swallow it, not to mention that there was a piece of fragrant bait caught on the hook. So after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Eunuch Feng, please give me instructions. As long as I can do it, I will do anything."
On the evening of the next day, after Cheng Naixuan arrived at home, he went to the house to stick his wife's abdomen and listened to the child's movements. He talked for a while and then walked to Wang Fulin after dinner. After entering his friend's familiar study, he had been holding it in one day and one night, as if pouring beans, and told everything he had met and conversation with Feng Bao last night, and then he punched him on the table.
"I just thought, don't say it's me, just say it's you, what can he value? Even if he and Yuanfu lose Xu Jue and Feng Bao, can they still find a way to contact and communicate? It turns out that he has a crush on your connections with Yuanfu, your good relationship with Wang Shaofang, and you and Yin Zhengmao are fellow villagers. If he meets him and Yuanfu disagree, I will beat the side drum and you will influence Yuanfu's decision! Moreover, I think that at the beginning, he is not as good as tempting me, but rather trying to arouse me and compete with you. If you have Yuanfu, I will gradually lean towards him. In this way, through you and me, Yuanfu's movements can be understood as if he is just a step back."
"It is said that it is one inside and outside, just like one person, but after all, it is two people, so the ideas will not be exactly the same, and it is even more impossible to be completely united. Of course, Feng Zhang may not be disinterested, it is just that our Eunuch Feng, who has a strong sense of crisis because of the previous events."
Wang Fulin said while touching his chin, feeling that he had always been so high-profile, with great results, but there were many negative effects. Now, Zhang Hong has regarded him as an informant, and now Feng Bao has come to Cheng Naixuan again. Are they considered brothers joining forces with infernal Affairs? Moreover, did Mr. Cheng really encounter a crisis, or was it because of Feng Bao's attention that he deliberately caused him to be in crisis? Didn't Mr. Xu claim that his three sons have split up? How could Xu Er and Xu San fuck the Shanxi merchants? Yes, when he met Mr. Xu Er on West Lake, this guy was with Zhang Taizheng!
"Shuangmu, what should I do about this? Say hello to my father? Then let's turn against each other?" Seeing Wang Fulin's face froze, Cheng Naixuan immediately laughed, "Anyway, you and your uncle have come this time, so it's not normal for us to come again?"
"Once the play is a good show, the second time it is a bad show, and the third time it is a bad show. My uncle and I have acted twice. If you still come, do you think the whole city is full of fools? Besides, what Eunuch Feng wants is your news from me. If we have a breakup, where do you get the news? Not only can we not breakup, we have to become more and more intimate, so that you will be valuable there."
"Let's get closer? We are all fellow townsmen and friends of the same year. Your elder sister-in-law is also my wife's sister-in-law. How can we get closer? Otherwise, let's have children and relatives?" Cheng Naixuan felt better. Seeing that Wang Fulin's face was dark, he said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't brag outside. What if Eunuch Feng finds me again and I claim this to him, that's OK, right?"
Wang Fulin was too lazy to talk to this guy. As for betraying his beloved son, he didn't even need to mention it. He immediately changed the topic and said, "I have to tell you one thing. Our two families were like iron buckets. Now that you have something like this, it may be difficult to avoid being mixed with sand by the factory guards. You have a preparation!"
