The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

It is said that today is the day when Zhang Fan marries Luo Linger, but after all, he is marrying a concubine, and the ceremony is formal and formal, but it is not very grand, just like Zhang Fan now, wearing a gorgeous silk black robe, just wearing some The red silk was used to express it like this. For this, he felt a little sorry for Luo Linger, after all, he had treated her like that before.

But when he saw Liu Shan walking towards him, Zhang Fan felt that his attire was too shabby. He saw that Liu Shan had no sense of being a guarding eunuch at all. At any rate, he is also the guardian of a prosperous Dazhou City in the south of the Yangtze River. Although his rank is not very high, his power is very great. Whether it is military or administrative, he can get a hand in it. It stands to reason that eunuchs are more powerful. They care about other people's eyes. After all, they have some shortcomings. They are always afraid that others will laugh at them. Therefore, after many eunuchs have a little power, they put all their efforts into showing off and always pay attention to their own image. I was afraid that I would be underestimated by others for doing something disregarding etiquette.

But this Liu Shan is fine, he is wearing a big robe, the color is very bright, his whole body looks like a well-dressed lantern, only two candles are placed on his head , as if the groom is not Zhang Fan but him today, um, but, although it is not impossible for this eunuch to marry a concubine, can it be done like this... It is debatable, debatable.

Liu Shan's appearance made those who came to Zhang's house stunned. After all, Yangzhou City is big, but Liu Shan's reputation is so loud. How could this small Yangzhou City be so sleepy? Those who live there, including those merchants present, there is really no one who does not know Liu Shan, but now, Liu Shan appeared on the stage with this image, which surprised everyone present and stared dumbfounded. Liu Shan, who was still smiling there calmly, almost dislocated his jaw, and Liu Shan himself turned a blind eye to these things, still smiling, as if they were just passing by, but he had nothing to worry about, after all, let alone Yangzhou City is already in the whole of Jiangsu, who dares to disrespect him, so, how should I put it, Liu Shan seems to be a little unscrupulous now.

"Eunuch Liu, why are you so happy?" Facing Liu Shan for a long time, Zhang Fan was speechless. He was a little frightened by Liu Shan's appearance, and didn't know what to say for a long time. No, the moment I opened my mouth, what I said was obviously a manifestation of a short-circuited brain.

"You... are you okay?" Sure enough, when Liu Shan heard Zhang Fan's words, he couldn't help but look Zhang Fan up and down, and even touched Zhang Fan's forehead with his hand to see if he was suffering from the cold or something, " It’s not hot, besides it’s still so hot today, could it be heatstroke?”

Zhang Fan felt dizzy after hearing his words.

"Isn't today your day of great joy, why do you still ask me why I am so happy, my good brother-in-law," Liu Shan laughed and patted Zhang Fan's shoulder, reminding Zhang Fan of his current relationship.

"Yes, yes, what the elder brother said is true, the younger brother was careless, negligent, negligent," Zhang Fan hurriedly apologized to Liu Shan, but he was really ashamed in his heart.

"Hey, what's the big deal? Brother-in-law, you must be very happy. You went too far for a while, and you were negligent." Liu Shan didn't care about these things, and he kept helping Zhang Fan to smooth things over, as if he and Zhang Fan were really on the same page. Become like a family, "Stop talking about this, today is your day of great joy, no, I personally sent my precious sister here, you have to treat her well in the future, if you bully her, you can Don't blame me for being ruthless as a brother-in-law." It seems that Liu Shan is really happy today, he doesn't even use the usual title that can reflect his identity, and directly "I".

"Yes, yes, what the elder brother said is true, the younger brother must keep it in mind," Zhang Fan hurriedly responded. The more he listened to Liu Shan's words, the more he felt that something was wrong. I love Luo Linger, but for this cheap brother-in-law, sooner or later he will be sent to the execution ground, and Zhang Fan really hates Liu Shan from the bottom of his heart. Now that Liu Shan is so close to him, he is really uncomfortable. Somewhat ended the conversation with Liu Shan, "Brother, look, it's getting late now, so hurry up..."

"Yo, our groom is in a hurry," Liu Shan sneered, and said cheerfully, "Don't panic, don't panic, no matter how anxious you are, the etiquette has to be thorough, it's possible that the bridal chamber will fail now, and the dowry You have to bring it in first." When speaking of the word "dowry", Liu Shan deliberately emphasized his tone, implying that there is a world inside.

How could Zhang Fan fail to understand Liu Shan's meaning, his eyes lit up immediately, he knew that Liu Shan had started to act, and it was blatantly.

Seeing Zhang Fan's appearance, Liu Shan thought that his actions had achieved his goal, and immediately became happy, but he obviously misunderstood what Zhang Fan meant, and Liu Shan immediately shouted to the door: "Hurry up, Bring me all the dowry and delay my sister's wedding, and I'll make you go all the way around, "

Immediately, outside the door, several porters wrapped with red ribbons came to the yard of Zhang's family carrying more than ten boxes of "dowries", large and small, which were happily decorated.

Seeing this scene, the people around, especially the many officials present, also understood what Liu Shan meant. This was giving Zhang Fan a new "dividend" and disguising these things as dowry. It's too clever. If you don't know the hidden people inside, you will definitely not see anything else. Looking at these boxes that are being carried in continuously, Zhang Fan laughed from the inside out. It can be regarded as Liu Shan's criminal evidence. When he arrests Liu Shan and brings him to justice, the more boxes he brings to Long Qing, the happier Long Qing will be. The happier Long Qing is, the closer he will be to his dream. It's one step closer.

Of course, if Zhang Fan wants to keep these things privately, probably no one will know about them, but he does not intend to do so, although he will have plenty of money to spend in the future, especially the one he met Richard and Joanna. Afterwards, the overseas plan that he built in his heart must be very expensive, but Zhang Fan didn't intend to put any thought into it. After all, Long Qing promised that he would have [-]% of the stolen money seized. When Long Qing said so Zhang Fan was only surprised by this ratio, but after he knew the scale of the case and the amount of money involved, Zhang Fan opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it for a long time. It's not that he couldn't believe that there were so many What a huge number that would be. Doesn’t it mean that if Zhang Fan really agreed to Liu Shan’s request for cooperation and provided them with a If it is a protective umbrella, then Zhang Fan can get a huge amount of income every year, and with Zhang Fan's protection, Liu Shan and his people will work for a longer time, and the scale will definitely increase. If it is bigger, then Zhang Fan's income will increase. Logically speaking, this is the best way for Zhang Fan to choose, but Zhang Fan will never do this. Although he is not superstitious, I still believe that there is karma. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. The He Shen of the later generations will be greedy. Although most of He Shen’s money is earned by his own business, He Shen’s corruption is still in history. The only thing that He Shen relies on is his ingenuity, his ability to play tricks, none of it, what he relies on is Emperor Qianlong's favor for him, but look at the ending of He Shen. He was imprisoned, and in the end he was ordered to die in prison by Emperor Jiaqing. Zhang Fan didn't think that if he did the same, he would end up better than He Shen in the future. He was very conscious.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Box after box of things was delivered inside, and many people saw different things. What the officials present saw was that Zhang Fan got a lot of benefits from Liu Shan. Envious, but not jealous, so many years of being in the officialdom made them understand a truth, how much ability they have is the right to enjoy much wealth, if it exceeds their ability, then the wealth will become a disaster, In their eyes, Zhang Fan obviously has this ability, and the officials present are almost all of Liu Shan's "subordinates". They will naturally be happy to see Zhang Fan collecting money. In the future, with a protective umbrella that can reach Tianting directly to protect them, wouldn't they be more unscrupulous in wanting to make money in the future.

The merchants present were already familiar with this situation, and their years of knowledge made them not look down on or despise Zhang Fan at all. After all, in their eyes, it didn't matter what tricks they played. The important thing is how much money you can get, and Zhang Fan can get so much, in their eyes, not only is there no trace of displeasure at seeing the imperial court order him to corrupt the law, but they have a deep admiration for Zhang Fan in their hearts. Psychology, but this kind of psychology gradually turned into surprise as time passed slowly, and the figure of the porter who hadn't stopped in front of him. Looking panting, each box is probably full of things, and they all understand the universe inside. Liu Shan's gift is definitely not only real money, but also some very valuable items.

Of course, there are some people who have reservations about the matter in front of them. Naturally, that is Zhang Yufang who doesn't know Zhang Fan's plan. After all, Zhang Yufang is Zhang Fan's uncle. He brought a lot of things. Zhang Yufang also liked Zhang Fan very much. He knew that those who became officials were upright and upright. Otherwise, how could they climb up? No matter how much the emperor likes such an official, if other ministers object, he will not be able to be promoted, and now he sees this scene, and Zhang Fan has no intention of rejecting it, but still smiles all over his face. He was a little worried, but before Zhang Yufang could think about how to talk to Zhang Fan about this matter, he was interrupted, because Luo Linger had already appeared in front of everyone, because he was about to worship heaven and earth.
