Chapter 502
Preparation
Hangzhou West Lake, Wanghu Tower. Although the reputation of this Wanghu Tower is not as good as that of the Louwai Tower, it has its own unique place. It only allows famous people in Hangzhou to visit it, and invisibly it has its own brand. Some local people are proud to enter this Wanghu Tower to have a drink. Of course, the wine and food in this Wanghu Tower are not worse than those of Louwai Tower, and the reason why many guests can enjoy the beauty of West Lake is more savvy. In addition, what can make Wanghu Tower compete with Louwai Tower and Louwai Tower compete with all its Kabuki. These Kabuki not only look charming, but also have talent. Even those who don’t like women are very interested in them. All kinds of things make Wanghu Tower have endless guests every day, and they are all famous people in the city who are not rich and noble.
But today, there are fewer guests in Wanghu Tower than before. When many noble people who want to come here to enjoy the fun came to the front of the building excitedly, they were blocked by the shopkeeper of Wanghu Tower with a smile. Someone who was dissatisfied, asked the shopkeeper what happened. But when he whispered that who was the one who was booking Wanghu Tower today, the guests did not dare to say anything else and avoided them from afar.
Everything below fell into the eyes of the man in the light robe who was looking by the window. His lips curled up, as if he was sneering and as if he was approving. After taking a sip of the wine, he turned his head and said to a man wearing a robe beside him: "Ding Bancheng is Zhang Bancheng. With just one sentence, he can drive all the nobles in Hangzhou all over the city. This is really admirable to me."
"Mr. Feng is really a mischievous praise, and the people can't afford it." The official smiled and said. Although he said that, he still had a self-confidence on his face, which made no one dare to fight with him. This was also his pride.
"Mr. Zhang is here..." With a waiter's call, everyone who stood in the building rushed over. Their purpose was to meet the governor of Zhejiang and ask him about the matter. Zhang Siyuan walked up with a smile. When he saw that everyone here was here, he laughed and said, "It seems that everyone is more punctual than me. There are too many things to deal with in my office, which has made everyone wait for a long time."
"I dare not, I dare not. Lord Zhang is busy with all his time. It is already a great deal to be able to take the time to meet Xiaguan and others." Several people said hurriedly. Ding Bancheng waved his hand again. After ordering people to deliver food and drinks, only those people were left on the floor.
The wine is the best daughter Hong, which has been aged for 18 years, and the dishes are even more famous delicacies in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Any dish here can be worth the monthly expenses of ordinary people. However, the delicious wines and delicacies in front of them cannot make the people here happy. They all looked at Zhang Siyuan.
If the uninformed person saw this scene, he would only think that these people owed others money and had no way of life. Who would have thought that these people were all people who could tremble in Hangzhou City with just stomping their feet.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Siyuan put down the wine glass beside his mouth: "You are all looking at me frowningly, and things are not something I can control."
"Sir, we are all waiting for your words. The rain has been going on these days, and it is the time to act, but why did you stop us? You must know that everything is done. If others notice it, we will all suffer. Please help us solve this question." Ding Bancheng said with a bitter face.
"Do you all have the same idea as him?" Zhang Siyuan looked at the others, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Yes, Lord Zhang, you don't know. The general finally told some soldiers to do what we wanted, but you refused to speak again when the matter was about to come. I'm afraid there will be more dreams at night." A strong man with a beard complained.
When the two of them said this, the others couldn't help it. They all talked about their own hardships, fearing that they were discovered, fearing that the things they had hoarded became bad, and so on, and then everyone looked at Zhang Siyuan, wanting to hear the words from his mouth. But they were all disappointed. Zhang Siyuan's face sank with their words, and finally he even slapped the wine glass in his hand on the table: "Don't! You are all so confused. It's not that I refuse to let you do it now, but that's not conducive to our actions. Although it has been raining all the time and the time and place have become harmonious, and these three things are the same, and such adventures cannot be done in a hurry."
"Sir, is the one you mentioned in Shaoxing? In fact, we have thought about it. Since others are in Shaoxing, we will change the place. Fortunately, the governor of Shaoxing, Yin Dahong, has never told him about this, and we are not afraid of any problems." Mr. Feng was obviously the one who avoided Zhang Siyuan the most, so although he saw that he put down his face, he still expressed his own opinion.
Zhang Siyuan also knew that he had said this a little too much. Although the people here were not as good as his identity, it was difficult for him to control them, so he could only smile bitterly: "What you are talking about is only one aspect. Let me ask, if something happened to me in Zhejiang, would Tang Feng, who is here now, ignore this matter? Everyone knows the efficiency of the people in the Jinyiwei to investigate the matter. If they really see any flaws, you and I will be in trouble."
"But sir, are we just a Tang Feng? We have made a lot of preparations for this matter..." Ding Bancheng said with some pain. For this matter, he had invested tens of thousands of taels of silver to open up all joints. He was planning to make it come back after the matter was done, so he was the most anxious.
"Don't worry, I just thought it was not appropriate to take action for the time being, so I would never stop moving. I think that Tang Feng, as a Jinyiwei in the capital, would not have stayed in my Zhejiang for too long. In a few days, he would have left. By the way, how have he fought with the White Lotus Sect in Shaoxing these days?" He looked at Lord Feng.
Lord Feng said disapprovingly: "It's still like that, there's no progress. I don't know what he is still staying in my Zhejiang to do. Now the White Lotus Sect here has been cleared by him. Do he still expect another group of traitors to appear?"
"Since that's the case, I thought he was about to leave. Be careful that there was no big deal, so let's wait for a few more days. Anyway, the rainy water in Zhejiang is abundant, and now it's rainy season again, so I don't care about waiting for him for two more days."
"Although this is reasonable, I heard that Tang Feng is from Shaoxing Mansion. If he is nostalgic for his hometown and stays for a few more days, wouldn't we be watching the opportunity slip away?" Another person said. His words once again caused uneasiness among others and looked at Zhang Siyuan again.
Zhang Siyuan said helplessly: "Then I will make a decision with you. If Tang Feng does not leave my Zhejiang territory within ten days, we will do it as long as the time is right! You can always feel at ease now, right?" Although this matter is mainly based on him, Zhang Siyuan would not dare to blame the person in front of him too much, otherwise if one of them refused to listen to the greeting, the matter would not be done.
With his words, several people felt relieved. Then, these people studied the places suitable for their premeditated things in Zhejiang, except Shaoxing, and soon they saw the place. Looking at their anxious appearance, Zhang Siyuan was full of contempt. It would be easy for people to find flaws in such a hasty way of doing things, and they would be in trouble at that time. Fortunately, he had already made preparations just in case, and he was not too afraid of something missing.
Beijing City, Forbidden City.
After reviewing today's memorial, Chongzhen got up from the dragon throne and moved his hands. Since he ascended the throne, he has to review memorials until late at night every day, and get up before dawn the next day. Although he is young and strong, he is still a little overwhelmed. When he was about to go back to the bedroom and have a sleep, an eunuch came in with a memorial: "Long live, there is a 600-mile emergency delivery from the Jinyiwei, and I will also invite the holy book."
Chongzhen hurriedly took over the memorial and felt a little surprised. Why did the Jinyiwei people also responded so urgently? Could it be that something happened in the Liaodong border? This thought made him dare not be careless and quickly opened it. When he saw the words "Tang Feng bowed to the sages" on it, his nervousness relaxed a little. Although things should not be underestimated, compared with the military situation in Liaodong, other things are not an urgent matter.
But when Chongzhen saw the memorial written by Tang Feng in Wan's hand, the Jinyiwei sent the memorial to Beijing in just two days by replacing fast horses and changing horses, he was still a little surprised. "Yi Zhizhen actually found these jealous places for the court in Jiangnan. He is so loyal and commendable."
On a memorial, Tang Feng clearly wrote down everything he encountered in Shaoxing and wrote down Zhuge Changming's confession. It was full of the secrets of the White Lotus Sect, both of which were clearly located in the current headquarters and the others. Finally, Tang Feng begged the emperor to send people who were condemning the powerful to lead troops to Xi'an to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect, so that the Ming Dynasty could be purified.
Chongzhen also heard of the harm of the White Lotus Sect from time to time. Now, when he saw such a good opportunity, he naturally refused to let go. After pondering for a while, he sat back next to the dragon desk, picked up his pen and wrote an edict. Then he called the eunuch into the eunuch and said, "Give this order quickly to the governor of Shaanxi, and let him act according to this immediately after receiving the order."
Before dawn, the palace gate opened, and a fast horse left the palace gate and headed west...
