Smuggling Daming

Chapter 166 Wu Shan's Reply

After the three of Wu Shan came out, they immediately let the Jin Yiwei in the hall disperse. At the same time, all the innkeepers and staff were taken away by Jin Yiwei, and there were guards in front of the gate. In the end, only Zhou Zhong and Wu Shan were left in the entire inn hall. , Wu Shi and Ma Liang.

After all the people in the hall had withdrawn, the three of Wu Shan suddenly knelt down to Zhou Zhong and said, "Your Majesty has ordered me to join you, and I will obey your orders from today on!"

"Uh!" Zhou Zhong was taken aback when he saw all three of Wu Shan kneeling down. He never thought that these three Jinyiwei officers who were majestic in front of others would suddenly kneel down to him, and said What is the order of Emperor Zhengde to let them obey his orders from now on? This news is simply too surprising.

"You...you guys, get up quickly, and say what you have to say!" Zhou Zhong was also a little at a loss at this moment, really wondering what the three of Wu Shan were reading?

However, Wu Shan is also very shrewd, knowing that Zhou Zhong will definitely doubt the motives of the three of them, so he reached out and took out a letter from his pocket: "My lord, please read, here is the secret decree written by His Majesty to the villain, it says Clearly let us all obey your orders!"

Zhou Zhong was also very surprised to see the letter in Wu Shan's hand. He didn't expect that in addition to the marriage decree brought by Wang Lun, Ma Baihu and others actually carried a secret decree.When Zhou Zhong reached out for the letter-like secret decree and opened the letter inside, he couldn't help but frowned, because the words on the letter were really not that good, and could even be called ugly.It seems that the rumors in the government and the public that Emperor Zhengde didn't like reading books are indeed true, otherwise he wouldn't even write such ugly words.

The content of the letter is not very long, and Zhou Zhong read it quickly. Generally speaking, there are only two things in the whole letter. The first thing is to praise Wu Shan and promote Wu Shan from the position of Hundred Households to Jinyiwei Qianhu is also in charge of the two teams of Ma Baihu and Wu Baihu.The second matter was the mission of Wu Shan and the others. The letter did not say much about this matter, but only told them in general to obey Zhou Zhong's arrangements.At the same time, he is responsible for protecting Zhou Zhong's safety.

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhou Zhong was even more confused. Before that, he couldn't figure out why Emperor Zhengde would suddenly give him a marriage?It turned out to be good now, in addition to bestowing a marriage, he also sent a team of royal guards to protect him, this kind of treatment might not even be given to the few grand scholars in the court.However, Emperor Zhengde cared so much about such a small smuggler as himself, which is really unreasonable.

"Wu...Wu Qianhu, do you know why His Majesty sent you to follow my orders?" Although Zhou Zhong knew that there should be no answer to the question he asked, he still had the idea of ​​what might happen in his heart. Wu Shan will know something that he doesn't know.

However, Wu Shan obviously disappointed Zhou Zhong. He replied with a wry smile without even thinking about it: "Your Majesty, I don't know why His Majesty gave such an order, but as the Son of Heaven's pro-army, we Jinyiwei naturally You must obey His Majesty's order, so it doesn't matter if you have any assignments in the future, we will definitely help you to complete it!"

Hearing Wu Shan's assurance, Zhou Zhong's heart suddenly moved at this moment. For the time being, he put aside the reason why Emperor Zhengde sent Wu Shan and the others to follow him. With these brocade guards around, it was equivalent to having an extra amulet for himself.Now he is worried about Xie Di's embarrassment as the governor of Zhejiang, and now he has the amulet of Jin Yiwei.Coupled with the fact that he was given a marriage by Emperor Zhengde before, no matter how courageous Xie Di is, he probably wouldn't dare to provoke him easily.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong was finally a little happy, but then he was a little worried. As the saying goes, if you don't get rewarded for nothing, Emperor Zhengde suddenly gave him a marriage and sent someone to protect him. There was something strange about the reinstatement of the official, which made Zhou Zhong feel very uneasy, as if he had fallen into a huge trap, but he didn't know how to get out.

But now is not the time to think about it, since Wu Shan and others were ordered to follow him, and Zhou Zhong couldn't refuse, so he finally nodded and said: "Well, since you are ordered by the emperor, it is impossible for me to disobey the order If not, you will just follow me from now on!"

Seeing that Zhou Zhong agreed with them to follow, the three of Wu Shan were very pleasantly surprised. Before coming, Emperor Zhengde had told them that they must treat Zhou Zhong with respect and must not do anything offensive, so if Zhou Zhong really If they lost their temper and refused to let them follow, the three of Wu Shan might have to find another way to get close to Zhou Zhong, but now that Zhou Zhong himself agreed, it would save them a lot of trouble.

At this time, Zhou Zhong suddenly remembered something, and asked Wu Shan immediately: "Wu Baihu, the theft in my house before, should have something to do with you, right?"

Hearing Zhou Zhong's question about this matter, Wu Shan's face was also a little embarrassing, but he still replied very honestly: "My lord, you don't have to be polite to me, just call me Wu Shan as before. As for the theft, it was actually Liu I would like to send Jin Yiwei to look for the young master, but they found me in the Zhou mansion, so they asked me to do a favor..."

As Wu Shan said, he told the reason why Liu Jin sent Jin Yiwei to look for Zhou Zhong, and Shi Guang and others went to the Zhou mansion to search for the manuscript, but he concealed the fact that he took away the box containing the Xiuchun knife .Zhou Zhong also did not expect that the theft in his home was actually a disaster caused by Journey to the West. If he had been at home at that time, he would have been kidnapped by Shi Guang's brocade clothes and taken to the capital.

"Huh?" Zhou Zhong suddenly remembered something, and looked at Wu Shan suspiciously, and finally asked, "Wu Shan, besides the manuscript, there was also a box with a few things in it that was stolen from my house. Have you seen that box?"

Hearing that Zhou Zhong hadn't forgotten what was in the box, Wu Shan couldn't help showing a wry smile, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally replied honestly: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhou, I did take that box. As for the reason for taking the box, Please forgive me, I really can't tell you!"

Zhou Zhong was shocked when he heard this. The contents in that box were related to the identity of his cheap father Zhou Hai, and Zhou Hai was probably the Wang Hai on the waist card of the Jinyiwei. From this point of view, the reason why he received Emperor Zhengde's great favor is likely to be related to Zhou Hai's previous job as Jinyiwei.

Although Zhou Zhong really wanted to know the reason why Wu Shan took the box away, but seeing the resolute look on the other side's face, he definitely couldn't ask anything, so he was very wise not to ask, but started to ask the other side's plan. The three of Wu Shan and the others had already discussed it before, as long as Zhou Zhong went, they would go there. That is to say, if Zhou Zhong returned to Shuangyu Port in the future, these Jin Yiwei would also go back to be his followers.

In fact, it is a very prestigious thing to have a group of Jinyiwei as followers, especially when Zhou Zhong is still facing a powerful figure like Xie Di. The role of these Jinyiwei is not only to protect, but even become Zhou Zhong With a bargaining chip in his hand, he would not only ignore Xie's family, but could even fight against the army and bite off a piece of Xie's body.

The imperial decree of the marriage has been announced, and now not only Wang Lun is urging Zhou Zhong to get married, but all the officials in the Songjiang officialdom are also busy with Zhou Zhong's big wedding. We met with officials like Xu Guan, and we talked about the specific steps of getting married.In fact, it is not so much communication as Zhou Zhong listens to the other party's arrangements with his ears. He has no right to speak at all.

However, before the big wedding, Zhou Zhong had to go back to Shuangyu Port again. Naturally, relatives of both parties were indispensable for such a big event, but Aunt Wang and the others were all in Shuangyu Port, so they had to be brought back. There is one more important thing, that is, Zhou must go to see Xie Lingyun, hoping to get her understanding.

When Zhou Zhong returned to Shuangyu Port by boat, he wanted to go to Xie Lingyun to explain to Xie Lingyun at the first time, but he didn't expect that Zhuan'er and the others had already received the news of His Majesty's marriage, so they had been waiting for him at the port. The boat was immediately pulled by Zhuaner to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce's residence to meet Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang and Biao'er have been on Wang Jinxuan's side since the very beginning. Although Biao'er had a good relationship with Xie Lingyun before, this incident also made her feel a little disgusted with Xie Lingyun. It's a pity because Zhou Zhong felt that she couldn't They failed Xie Lingyun, so they had nothing to do. They thought that the engagement between Zhou Zhong and Wang Jinxuan would definitely be broken when Wang Lun came back this time. The situation changed drastically, and they no longer had to worry about the marriage contract between Zhou Zhong and Wang Jinxuan.

It is precisely because of this that Aunt Wang and Biao'er were also very happy when they saw Zhou Zhong this time, especially when they heard from Zhou Zhong that Wang Jinxuan was willing to marry to Zhou's family regardless of past suspicions, which made the mother and daughter very happy. They smiled happily. After all, in their opinion, Wang Jinxuan was more suitable than Xie Lingyun to be Zhou Zhong's wife, whether in terms of emotion, reason or appearance.

In addition, when Aunt Wang and the others knew that the big wedding was scheduled for the sixth day of the next month, although they felt a little rushed, it was just what they wanted. After all, getting married early would allow the raw rice to be cooked earlier, so as to avoid any accidents after a long time.Therefore, Aunt Wang and the others immediately started to pack their bags and prepare for Zhou Chong's return to Songjiang for his wedding.

While Aunt Wang and the others were busy packing their things, Zhou Zhong finally had a chance to sneak out from the chamber of commerce, and then asked someone to prepare a boat to go to Nangang where the Xie family chamber of commerce was located to meet Xie Lingyun, but Zhou Zhong also felt Feeling very guilty, I don't know what choice Xie Lingyun will make in this matter?
