Chapter 254： How hard to discuss

Jingcheng State General's Mansion

Jiang Zhennan, Guo Bing and Zhou Wencai were in the study.

Guo Bing patted his palm with a folding fan, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Miss Lin would give Master Zhou such a big gift as soon as she arrived in Zhoushan City."

There is actually the ability to make this group of robbers surrender.

With the gang of robbers full of evil, even if they surrender themselves, they can't take it lightly, and they can only show their sins by beheading them.

This is a remarkable achievement after Zhou Changsheng was promoted to prefect.

Zhou Wencai never thought that his father would be supported by Lin Yuelan like this, it was like a dream.

Before, they had been waiting hard for the Zhou family in Anding County, wanting to show their ambitions and talents, but they were annihilated by the Zhou family in the corner of Anding County.

It's good now, soaring into the sky.

He went directly from the seventh-grade magistrate to the fifth-grade prefect at once, and he dealt with the gang of robbers who caused a lot of headaches.

Such achievements are hard to ignore.

Zhou Wencai said in admiration, "How is Miss Lin's brain structured? It's unbelievable that it comes out one after another."

Guo Bing said with a smile, "Young Master Zhou, this girl Lin, she is a genius. Genius is definitely not something that ordinary people like me can compare with, is it?"

Zhou Wencai smiled and nodded, "Indeed."

Then Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan and asked seriously, "Brother, did the emperor say anything?"

As soon as Zhou Changsheng, the prefect of Zhoushan, took office, he brought the robbers from the Black Mountain Forest to justice, and they were all beheaded the next day. Such a big case must have been introduced to the capital, and then to the emperor's ears.

Therefore, the saint was very happy, and he called Jiang Zhennan to the study.

Jiang Zhennan responded to Guo Bing and said, "Your Majesty is just curious, how could the robbers in Heifengzhai go to the yamen to surrender themselves so unthinkingly?"

Speaking of this, Guo Bing was also very curious, "Speaking of which, eldest brother, this is really strange. What method did Miss Lin use to let the robbers die?"

Zhou Wencai also looked at Jiang Zhennan with curious eyes, as if he wanted to hear the answer from Jiang Zhennan's mouth.

But Jiang Zhennan shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

However, he could guess that Lin Yuelan must have a plan.

Guo Bing didn't hear the answer from Jiang Zhennan's mouth, and immediately shook his head in disappointment and said, "Hey, big brother, how did I answer the saint?"

For the emperor, Zhou Changsheng was able to do this, and Jiang Zhennan had a lot of credit. In this case, Zhou Changsheng must have some kind of relationship with Jiang Zhennan. Therefore, in this case, the emperor still wanted to ask Jiang Zhennan in person.

Jiang Zhennan shook his head and said, "You can only tell the truth."

Guo Bing was stunned and said suspiciously, "Why tell the truth?"

Jiang Zhennan said, "It was that group of robbers who suddenly had a convulsion one day and suddenly realized that they had done too many bad things. They felt guilty and felt deeply guilty, so they turned themselves in."

Jiang Zhennan said it very seriously.

"Pfft!" Guo Bing spat out all the tea he was drinking, and then coughed violently.

Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan with a blushing face, and asked suspiciously, "Brother, you wouldn't really tell the emperor like this, would you?"

Hearing this in anyone's ears, he would find it extremely false, not to mention the emperor who is the king of a country.

Jiang Zhennan said solemnly, "Your Majesty is obedient, this expression and action are just like yours. I don't believe that this is the matter of the sage."

In fact, the emperor really didn't believe it.

It's just that Jiang Zhennan was too serious, and they all made them murmur. Is the truth as Jiang Zhennan said.

Of course, the emperor did believe that Jiang Zhennan really didn't know the gang of robbers, why he suddenly turned himself in.

Guo Bing could only give up, this matter was like a headless koan, circling in the ears of everyone in the capital, unless someone personally interrogated the robbers himself, but it was obviously impossible.

Because, that group of robbers have gone to hell.

Guo Bing said again, "Miss Lin has opened another restaurant in Zhoushan City, you come and I go to the restaurant, I don't know how the business there will be?"

Since they returned to the capital, several of them, including Jiang Zhennan, have cut off contact with Lin Yuelan, and have never exchanged letters, so they don't know anything about Lin Yuelan's situation.

But why did they say that letting the robber turn himself in was a great gift from Lin Yuelan to Zhou Changsheng, because they were also guessing.

The reason for guessing, of course, started with Zhoushan, you came to me and went to the restaurant.

They couldn't track and monitor Lin Yuelan's situation, but they had to grasp Zhou Changsheng's situation, and that's why they knew that you came to me to open a restaurant.

According to reasoning, if you come to me to open a restaurant, Lin Yuelan will definitely be there.

And from Anding County to Zhoushan City, you must pass through Heifenglin.

The gang of robbers lived in the Black Wind Forest, where they intercepted passers-by and robbed them.

Therefore, judging from the opening time of the restaurant and the time when the robber turned himself in, this matter has something to do with Lin Yuelan 80-90%.

Zhou Wencai received a letter from his father and said, "I heard that this business is booming. Before the opening, Sister Yuelan invited three presidents and vice presidents of the chamber of commerce, my father, people from the four famous families, and Zhoushan. More than half of the four seniors with high morals and respect in the city came to the dinner.”

Hearing what Zhou Wencai said, Guo Bing and Jiang Zhennan were very surprised.

When a restaurant opened, Lin Yuelan would actually entertain the various forces in Zhoushan alone. This is a big event, and it is also a difficult task. Lin Yuelan even has the ability to do it well.

Guo Bing suddenly wanted to open Lin Yuelan's brain, is he really a monster?

Guo Bing and Jiang Zhennan digested the news for a moment, then looked at Zhou Wencai and asked, "The Zhou family already wants to bring your father and son back to the Zhou family, what are your plans now?"

Zhou Wencai shook his head, and then said, "Sister Yuelan asked me, if the Zhou family asks me to go back, I will go back directly, and then I will deal with the Zhou family first."

"To deal with the Zhou family?" Guo Bing was a little confused.

Zhou Wencai said, "Yes. I only have talent and fame now. If I want to fully enter the court, I must be selected as the champion and the champion of the palace test, which will make me more valuable. With my father behind me, if the Zhou family wants to use me , I don't want me to make too much of a show, to suppress the limelight of the Zhou family's direct line, and I will definitely do some tricks in secret. When I catch their handle, my father and I will be able to leave the Zhou family righteously. ."

Guo Bing listened and said, "Fuck!"

If you don't enter a tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son.

This is the rhythm of forcing the Zhou family's head to persuade them to give up the Zhou family's father and son.

Jiang Zhennan asked, "So, you are going to appear in front of the Zhou family now?"

Zhou Wencai said, "Yes."

...

Zhou family

A middle-aged man looked at the white-bearded old man sitting first, frowned and said, "Father, is there something wrong with Zhou Changsheng's promotion?"

Zhou Changsheng was the direct descendant of the side branch, but because he had little use value, they were sent to the small town of Anding County.

But who would have thought that five years later, he would get the emperor's dragon eye appearance for no reason.

He was directly promoted from a small seventh-rank magistrate to a fifth-rank prefect, and he was so lucky. Not long after he was promoted to the prefect, he got another credit and added a sum to his political achievements.

The most puzzling thing is, why did those robbers turn themselves in so reluctantly?

This is the most obvious wrong.

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and said with a deep face, "Hong'er, this Zhou Changsheng is my Zhou family no matter what. No matter what is wrong with him, he has the emperor's longan, and he is from the emperor's side. The third prince just needs people from the emperor's side for inner response and support. And this week, Changsheng is the best candidate."

Zhou Dehong thought for a moment and said, "Dad, what should we do now?"

The white-bearded old man Zhou Zhenlin, the head of the Zhou family, said, "Well, you write a letter to Zhou Changsheng and tell him that we have arranged for his son Zhou Wencai to study at Yingtian Academy. I believe he will not refuse."

Hearing his father's words, Zhou Dehong said hesitantly, "Father, there are only two places in our Zhou family to go to Yingtian Academy, do you really want to give it to Zhou Wencai? He is the Zhou family, and Zhou Changsheng will definitely ask for it. Obedient, is it too wasteful to give this quota to his son?"

Zhou Zhenlin looked at his eldest son and said, "Hong'er, if you want the fish to be hooked, you have to throw some bait. Zhou Changsheng can get the emperor's longan from a small county, that's his ability. rather than the resources of the Zhou family.

Therefore, if Zhou Changsheng is to be loyal to the Zhou family and be grateful to the Zhou family, then the Zhou family must pay some price. "

Zhou Dehong was still a little worried and said, "Father, there are two places to go to Yingtian Academy, one is for Jing'er, the other is for Cheng'er, father, this..."

Jing'er is his eldest son, and the son he loves the most. It was difficult for a concubine to enter the academy. This time, he finally asked his father to come here, just to give him a future for this eldest son.

As for this Cheng'er, he is the eldest son of his third brother, but this third brother is not favored by his father, nor is he even favored by his children.

This time, Cheng Er was allowed to enter Yingtian Academy because his younger brother was cheeky and knelt down and begged his father to come.

Zhou Zhenlin immediately decided, "Give up Jing'er's quota."

Zhou Dehong immediately said in shock, "Father..."

Zhou Zhenlin said with a sullen face, "Hong'er, the heir is the heir, and the concubine is the concubine. No matter how much you favor the concubine, the concubine should never try to cover the heir. Otherwise, the Zhou family would have been replaced by those side branches."

Zhou Dehong immediately admitted his mistake and said, "Father, my son is wrong!"

"Well, let's go and make arrangements!" Zhou Zhenlin waved his hand.

"Yes." Zhou Dehong went down.
