Chapter 241： Zhou Wencai arrived at the General's Mansion

After Lin Yuelan received Zhou Changsheng's letter, she said to the servant who delivered the letter, "Please rest assured, Lord Zhou, this girl will definitely entertain the two prefects." When speaking of the good reception, the corners of her mouth pursed. With a sneer.

After Zhou Changsheng got the reply from the servant, he suddenly calmed down for some reason.

His intuition told him that Lin Yuelan could really solve this matter.

As soon as Zhou Changsheng came out of the study, he ran into the Ji brothers who had returned from the outside in an aggressive manner.

As soon as Ji Changxuan came in, he pointed at Zhou Changsheng and asked angrily, "Zhou Changsheng, how on earth are you doing things? Why can't you let us stay when you come to the restaurant?"

As soon as they asked Zhou Changsheng to arrange accommodation in the restaurant, Zhou Changsheng also agreed to talk to the owner of the restaurant to see if they could arrange their accommodation.

However, brothers Ji Changjin and Ji Changxuan were really curious about what the restaurant looked like, so when Zhou Changsheng hadn't made any arrangements, they excitedly shouted at the restaurant's second and shopkeeper, saying that if they didn't give it to the restaurant immediately. They arrange accommodation, then Lord Zhou will definitely give them a good look.

Zhang Yuanbin stared at the two brothers with a madman's eyes and said, "You two sons, no matter who is staying, it must be in a first-come-first-served order, even for Lord Zhou himself. Two sons, please!"

Seeing that the people in this restaurant treated them like this, the Ji brothers were so angry again that they couldn't fight each other.

Ji Changxuan pointed at Zhang Yuanbin and said fiercely, "Hmph, wait for this young master, I will let my father, oh no, let Zhou Changsheng order the closure of your restaurant."

With that said, the group rushed out again imposingly, and as soon as they returned to Zhou Mansion, they were furious at Zhou Changsheng.

Zhou Changsheng endured this unprovoked anger, clenched his fists and apologized to the two of them and said, "Second sons, please don't be impatient. Although this official has some friendship with the owner of this restaurant, this owner is not in Anding County. So, it will take some time to get in touch with that club."

Ji Changxuan didn't listen to his explanation, and said angrily, "Hmph, Zhou Changsheng, no matter what your reasons are, my son, come to the restaurant when I have to stay today, otherwise, I'll tell my father to go and tell you If you don't treat our brothers well, then wait for your dismissal!"

If it was really possible, Zhou Changsheng would really spit them a few mouthfuls to let himself out.

However, now he has to endure this breath, in front of their air bag.

Zhou Changsheng said, "That's fine, this official will definitely arrange it for you tonight!"

Ji Changxuan raised his head proudly and said, "It's not too bad."

Since Ji Changjin met Zhou Changsheng, he has always indulged his younger brother, directed Zhou Changsheng, and let him show the prestige of the prefect of the prefect in front of Zhou Changsheng.

Now, looking at Zhou Changsheng's expression of anger and resignation, his eyes rolled immediately, and then, pretending to be very casual, he asked, "Master Zhou, I heard that those cherries are produced in your Anding County. , it's just that we have been shopping for a day, and we haven't seen the shadow of the cherry, I don't know who owns this cherry?"

Looking at Ji Changjin, who was dressed in blue satin, with a square face and big eyes, but his aura was obviously more restrained than Ji Changxuan's, and he looked like a scholar.

However, Zhou Changsheng saw that he had been letting his younger brother make trouble in front of him without stopping him, and knew that this person was even more insidious and shrewd.

Listening to Ji Changjin's question, Zhou Changsheng restrained himself and dealt with it in secret, he said, "My lord, I'm sorry, cherries will not appear in the market, so it's okay if you can't find them. excusable."

Ji Changjin squinted his eyes, stared at Zhou Changsheng with sharp eyes, and asked lightly, "Oh, where did the cherries come from? Lord Zhou, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, our brothers lived all the way. Zhoushan came to your small county town just for those 100 catties of cherries. My father gave us a death order, asking my two brothers to bring those 100 catties of cherries from Anding County. go back!"

Zhou Changsheng certainly knew the meaning of Ji Changjin's words.

This is telling him that the hundred jin should be obtained, whether you can get it or not, you must get it for me.

"That's right, Zhou Changsheng, this young master tells you that we came to Anding County this time to supervise and investigate whether you deliberately concealed my father and hid the cherries. This young master warns you, you'd better hand it over immediately, otherwise, This accusation of cheating is enough to make you drink a pot, Lord Zhou."

These 100 catties of cherries are related to his father's official career, of course they have to do it well.

Zhou Changsheng suppressed the expression on his face, and followed the Ji brothers very seriously, "You two young masters, you are telling this official that this official intends to keep the cherry thing privately and not turn it over, right? ?"

Immediately, his face sank, and he said sharply, "Hmph, I wonder if Master Ji also thinks like this? If so, then Zhou is too disappointed. Master Ji is the superior of this official, and the order he issued, This official must execute it without mercy. If Mr. Ji wants the hundred catties of cherries, if there are any, even if I let this official go through fire and water to get this thing, he will not hesitate.

However, this thing, even if you get 100 catties now, you can get one or two, it is as hard as the sky, because there is no such thing, how do you ask this official to get these 100 catties? Open your mouth, move your mouth, will they appear out of thin air? "

He could never admit that they questioned his intentions.

Listening to Zhou Changsheng's words, the two brothers' faces sank, and they asked very ugly, "What do you mean, there is no such thing in Anding County, is it?"

Zhou Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes."

"Impossible!" Ji Changxuan said in disbelief, "In the past few days, this thing is gone, who would believe it?"

Not all ordinary fruits can be eaten by humans for more than a month. Some fruits with thick peels and non-perishables can last for several months.

Why is the shelf life of cherries so short?

Zhou Changsheng said solemnly, "Whether you two believe it or not, this is the truth. If you don't believe it, you can ask outside to see if anyone buys cherries anymore."

The expressions of the two Ji Gongzi immediately became a little dejected.

However, the purpose of their coming, although it is something like cherries, but the biggest purpose of their coming is to come here to eat and drink.

...

capital

As soon as Zhou Wencai arrived in the capital, he did not go directly to the Zhou family to find a sense of existence, but came to...

Zhou Wencai brought Tong to the gate of the General's Mansion. When he looked around with sharp eyes, and when he was sure that no one was paying attention to him, he raised his hand and knocked on the gate of the General's Mansion.

After a while, the door was opened, and a servant walked out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Zhou Wencai said, "I'm here to find General Zhen Guo!"

The little servant looked at him with a dusty appearance, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you? Why are you looking for my master?"

Zhou Wencai reported his name and said, "My lord, Zhou Wencai, is an old acquaintance with General Zhen Guo. Could you please report it?"

When the servant heard the surname Zhou, he asked suspiciously, "The surname is Zhou, is it the Zhou family?"

Zhou Wencai shook his head and said, "No."

After the little servant gave an "oh", he said, "Then wait a minute, I'll report it."

As soon as the servant closed the door, he walked into the yard when he met Guo Bing who came out of it. After the servant greeted Guo Bing, he hurried away.

Another servant at the gate saw that Guo Bing was about to go out, and hurriedly opened the door. Guo Bing immediately found Zhou Wencai standing at the door.

Zhou Wencai also saw Guo Bing and looked very surprised.

Before, he only knew that this was Jiang Zhennan's subordinate, but he didn't know who he was. Besides, they didn't communicate much before.

Seeing Guo Bing coming out of the General's Mansion very comfortably now, he opened his mouth wide and pointed at Guo Bing, "You...you...you are?"

Guo Bing immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "I said, Young Master Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you stutter?"

When he said this, although he was smiling, the expression in his eyes was full of vigilance and alertness. His sharp eyes looked around, and when he was sure that no one noticed, he turned back to the servant and said, " Let this Young Master Zhou in, he is old acquaintances with the Great General and this Young Master!"

The servant immediately responded, "This son, please!"

Zhou Wencai walked into the general's mansion in a daze, and then he suddenly said in shock, "You...you are Guo Bing, the young son of the Duke Guo mansion, aren't you? I heard that the young master Guo belongs to the general. subordinate."

Guo Bing said with a smile, "Not bad!"

In his eyes, he looked at a child who had been following Zhou Wencai, because the basket that the child was carrying made him very curious and itchy.

Because, he smelled a sweet aroma of fruit.

Zhou Wencai patted his forehead and said loudly and excitedly, "I should have thought of that earlier."

At that time, he only guessed Jiang Zhennan's identity. For the other subordinates, he thought they were just ordinary subordinates, and he never thought that Guo Bing was the young master of the Guo family.

Guo Bing just shook his head, and then asked curiously, "Master Zhou, why did you come to the capital and the General's Mansion?" But aside from curiosity, he was extremely serious.

Because the arrival of Zhou Wencai means that their hiding place for the past six months may be exposed, which will bring trouble to Lin Yuelan.

When he was in Linjia Village, Zhou Wencai had already recognized Jiang Zhennan, but he was warned by Lin Yuelan.

However, as soon as he came to the capital, he came to Jiang Zhennan. If he was found by someone with a heart, he would immediately find the flaws after analysis.

Because Zhou Wencai's identity is very easy to check, one can find Anding County, and then, looking for clues from Anding County, it is easy to find the traces that they have appeared before.

Zhou Wencai is not an idiot either. As soon as he heard Guo Bing's expression like this, he knew that he was displeased with him coming to the General's Mansion at will.

He immediately said, "Master Guo, it was Sister Yuelan who asked me to come to the general." Since he knew that this person was the young master of the Guo family, he did not hide the reason for coming here this time.

He knew that he had to tell the truth, otherwise, the consequences...

Guo Bing said suspiciously, "Oh, right? Because of what?"

Zhou Wencai said, "Because..." Jiang Zhennan wasn't there, so he couldn't tell.

Guo Bing knew his scruples, and then he said, "Let's go!"

The little servant who went to report looked at Guo Bing and this Zhou Wencai as soon as they came in, and was a little stunned, but then quickly left.

"Wait," Guo Bing stopped them and warned them sternly, "Don't tell anyone about the arrival of this Young Master Zhou, otherwise..." Otherwise, the consequences are not far away, but they know the consequences.

The servant's face turned pale, and he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Master Guo, the minions must be on the alert!"

After that, Guo Bing said to Zhou Wencai, "Let's go!"

Soon the two came to the living room, and Jiang Zhennan was already sitting in the first place.

Seeing Guo Bing go and return, he didn't show any surprise, as if he knew he would come back.

It is true that if someone else came to find Jiang Zhennan, Guo Bing would not care and would have left long ago, but this Zhou Wen came from Anding County.

With the friendship between Zhou Wencai and Lin Yuelan, and Lin Yuelan's intentional or unintentional start to make some noise in the capital, then Zhou Wencai's coming to the capital will definitely let him bring some words.

How could Guo Bing miss this.

As soon as Zhou Wencai saw Jiang Zhennan, the way he met him was different from any previous meeting.

This time, he was more cautious and nervous. With admiration and admiration for Jiang Zhennan in his eyes, he exclaimed excitedly, "General!"

After Jiang Zhennan gave a faint "um", he said to Zhou Wencai, "Young Master Zhou, I don't know if you came from afar, what are you talking about with this general?"

Zhou Wencai asked Xiaotong to put two baskets on the table and said to Jiang Zhennan, "Miss Yuelan asked me to bring something for you to taste."

After that, she took out a letter from her cuff, handed it to Jiang Zhennan and said, "She also asked me to bring a letter to the general!"

After the boy put a basket on the table, Guo Bing pulled away the covering cloth with excitement.

Seeing the red and beautiful things one by one, he asked curiously, "Is this a cherry?"

As he said that, he picked the largest one and put it in his mouth.

The appearance of the cherry has long been rumored in the upper circles of the capital, and it is not surprising that Guo Bing can recognize it at a glance.

The boy replied, "This is the cherry."

As soon as the child made a sound, Jiang Zhennan's sharp eyes shot at him, and then he called the servant and said, "Come on, take this child to the next room to rest for a while."

"Yes, sir!"

The subordinate is called Jiang Zhennan's servant, and his subordinate is called Jiang Zhennan's chief, or general.

After Jiang Zhennan asked the child to be taken down, he immediately opened the letter to read. After that, his brows were slightly frowned, and then he said to Zhou Wencai very seriously, "Did you really decide to do this?"

Zhou Wencai said very seriously, "Yes, General!"

Looking at Jiang Zhennan's serious expression, Guo Bingba frowned and asked, "What's so serious?"

Jiang Zhennan said coldly, "Let him replace him!" Although his words were very concise, Guo Bing understood it very well.

Guo Bing was startled, the cherries in his mouth immediately fell, and he opened his eyes wide and asked in shock, "What?!"
