Jingcheng State General House

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."

I have the ability to make this group of robbers surrender.

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

Zhou Wencai never imagined 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 grand plans and talents, but they were annihilated by the Zhou family in the corner of Anding County.

It's good now, soaring into the sky.

From the seventh-grade magistrate directly to the fifth-grade prefect at once, and dealt with the gang of robbers that caused a lot of headaches.

This kind of achievement is hard to be ignored.

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

Guo Bing smiled and said, "Zhou Gongzi, this girl Lin, she is a genius. Genius is definitely not something I can compare with ordinary people, right?"

Zhou Wencai smiled and nodded, "Indeed."

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, the robbers from the Black Mountain Forest were brought to justice, and they were all beheaded the next day. Well said. Such a big case must have been introduced to the capital, and then to the emperor's ears.

So, the saint was very happy, so he called Jiang Zhennan to the study.

Jiang Zhennan responded to Guo Bing, saying, "Your Majesty is just curious, how could the bandits in Heifengzhai go to the yamen to surrender themselves so hard?" .

Speaking of this, Guo Bing was also very curious, "Speaking of which, eldest brother, this is really strange, what means did Miss Lin use, and let the robbers go by themselves. Sent to death?"

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

Just 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 did not hear the answer from Jiang Zhennan's mouth, and immediately shook his head in disappointment and said, "Hey, brother, how did I answer the saint?"

For the emperor, Zhou Changsheng can do this, Jiang Zhennan has a lot of credit, so, Zhou Changsheng must have some kind of relationship with Jiang Zhennan, so, in this case, the emperor still wants to personally Ask Jiang Zhennan.

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, suddenly realized that they had done too many bad things, and felt guilty and deeply guilty, so they turned themselves in."

Jiang Zhennan said it very seriously.

"Pfft!" Guo Bing spit 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 didn't really tell the emperor like this, did you?"

When anyone hears these words, they will feel very false, let alone the emperor of the monarch of a country.

Jiang Zhennan said solemnly, "Your Majesty is obedient, this expression and action are just like yours, and I believe this is your own business."

Actually, the emperor really doesn't believe this.

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

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

possible.

Because that gang of robbers have gone to hell.

Guo Bing said again, "Miss Lin has opened another restaurant in Zhoushan City. 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 they have never exchanged letters, so they don't know anything about Lin Yuelan's situation.

But why would 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 from Zhoushan, you came to me to go to the restaurant.

They can't track and monitor Lin Yuelan's situation, but they have to grasp Zhou Changsheng's situation, which also means you come to me to open the restaurant.

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

From Anding County to Zhoushan City, you must pass through the Black Wind Forest.

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

Therefore, based on the opening time of the restaurant and the time when the robber turned himself in, this matter has something to do with Lin Yuelan's **.

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, four More than half of the people from the famous family and the four seniors with high morals and respect in Zhoushan City also came to the dinner."

Guo Bing and Jiang Zhennan were surprised when they heard Zhou Wencai say this.

A restaurant opened, and Lin Yuelan would entertain all parties in Zhoushan alone. This is a big event, and it is also a difficult task. Lin Yuelan 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 while, 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. Now I only have a reputation as a scholar. If I want to fully enter the court, I have to raise people and try the champion, which makes my own value even greater. With my father behind me, If the Zhou family wants to take advantage of me, and they don’t want me to be too much of a show, to suppress the limelight of the Zhou family’s direct line, they will definitely do some tricks in secret. At that time, when I catch their handle, my father and I will just do it. I can leave the Zhou family righteously."

Guo Bing said, "Fuck!"

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

This is a rhythm to force the Zhou family master to persuade them to give up the Zhou family father and son.

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

Zhou Wencai said, "Yes."

…

The 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 is a side branch, but because there is not much use value, they were sent to the small county town of Anding County.

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

He was directly promoted from a small seventh-rank magistrate to fifth-rank prefect. He was so lucky. It didn’t take long for him to be promoted to prefect, and he got credit again. Added one.

The most puzzling thing is, why would 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 week Changsheng is my Zhou family no matter what. No matter what is wrong with him, he has the emperor's longan, It's the people from the emperor's side, and the third prince needs the 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, believe him will not refuse."

Zhou Dehong said hesitantly when he heard his father's words, "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, Our request, Zhou Changsheng must obey, is it too wasteful to give this quota to his son?"

Zhou Zhenlin looked at his eldest son and said, "Honger, if you want the fish to be hooked, you have to cast some bait. Zhou Changsheng can get the emperor from a small county. Longan, that is his ability, not 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, "Dad, 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 also his most beloved son. Originally, it was difficult for a concubine to enter the academy. Fight for a future.

As for this Chenger, he is the eldest son of his third brother, but this third brother is not favored by his father, not even his children.

This time Cheng Er was allowed to enter Yingtian Academy, entirely 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, "Dad..."

Zhou Zhenlin sullenly scolded, "Hong'er, the heir is the heir, and the concubine is the concubine. No matter how much you favor the concubine, the concubine will never try to cover the heir. Those offshoots took their place."

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

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

"Yes." Zhou Dehong went down.
