Smuggling Daming

"Zhang Rui?" Zhou Zhong, who had just put down his chopsticks, was taken aback when he heard the servant's report. Although he had expected that the other party would come to him, he did not expect the other party to see Meng Wan only yesterday, and this morning Looking for him, it seems that Zhang Rui is really impatient.

When Bai Mengwan next to her heard the name "Zhang Rui", her body froze, and she looked up at Zhou Zhong nervously.Zhou Zhong also noticed the expression on Bai Mengwan's face, and immediately showed her a reassuring smile, and then explained a few words to Jin Xuan and the others, then stood up and turned to the living room in the front yard.

Regarding this Zhang Rui, he had already inquired a lot from Wu Shan yesterday, combined with what Bai Mengwan said, Zhou Zhong already had a lot of understanding of Zhang Rui, the governor of the East Factory, but whether it was Wu Shan or Bai Mengwan , They didn't know why Zhang Rui changed from a child to a eunuch.

Speaking of which, Wu Shan was a well-informed person in the capital, but what he knew about Zhang Rui only started after the other party entered the palace. According to him, Zhang Rui did enter the palace in three or four years, probably because He was originally talented in writing, so he was appreciated by Zhang Yong very quickly, and he was accepted as a adopted son by Zhang Yong. Since then, this is probably the reason why Zhang Rui changed his surname. After that, Zhang Rui has been by Zhang Yong's side work.

A few months ago, Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing teamed up to get rid of Liu Jin. As a result, Zhang Yong's reputation rose sharply for a while, and he replaced Liu Jin as the eunuch in charge of the chief of ceremonies. Zhang Rui, as Zhang Yong's adopted son, naturally rose, He was promoted to be the admiral and eunuch of Dongchang at a young age, and most people call him the governor, the factory master, and the governor.It can be said that he is proud of the spring breeze, and he is one of the most popular eunuchs in the palace now.

When Liu Jin was in office, Dongchang was so arrogant, and Jin Yiwei could only be regarded as Dongchang's follower, but now that Liu Jin died, Dongchang, as Liu Jin's accomplice, was naturally suppressed, and Zhang Rui took over. The time in the East Factory is not long, and Qian Ning, the commander of Jinyiwei, is too strong.So now the situation is completely reversed, Dongchang has become Jinyiwei's follower instead, and Zhang Rui, the governor, is having a hard time. When he saw Bai Mengwan yesterday, he found that Wu Shan, who was Qian Ning's confidant, was also there, which made him feel very fear.That's why he didn't dare to rob people on the spot, but left after inquiring about the situation.

Thinking about Zhang Rui, Zhou Zhong quickly came to the living room in front. This is Wang Lun's home, but Wang Lun went to court early in the morning, so Zhou Zhong usually handles family affairs.when he entered the living room.In the discovery hall sat a young eunuch in his 20s, very handsome in appearance.It's just that there is a cold look on the face, and the eyes are narrow and long like knives. When they are swept by these eyes, it always makes people feel uncomfortable.

No need to ask, this young eunuch must be the legendary Zhang Rui. Zhou Zhong walked into the living room with a smile and said, "I don't know that the governor is here, and Zhou is far away. It's really rude!"

Zhou Zhong is a businessman, and he dealt with people a lot when he was in Shuangyu Port.So he is also very proficient in these polite entertainment. Although he and Zhang Rui didn't know each other before, they still behave like old friends for many years.

Regarding Zhou Zhong's enthusiasm, the cold-faced Zhang Rui twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a stiff smile, and at the same time stood up and said, "Young Master Zhou, you are being polite. The Sa family took the liberty to come to visit. I should be the one who was rude. It’s just that the Sa family really has important matters to discuss with Mr. Zhou, so please don’t blame me, Mr. Zhou!”

Zhang Rui is able to take the position of Governor of Shangdong Factory, so the news is naturally very well-informed. He knows that although Zhou Zhong in front of him is just a small smuggling businessman on the surface, he has an extremely mysterious background and seems to be valued by His Majesty the Emperor. , not only personally bestowed a marriage on the other party, but even sent Wu Shan and other brocade guards to protect him, so Zhang Rui didn't want to offend Zhou Zhong too much.

Seeing that Zhang Rui is so polite to him, Zhou Zhong is also very proud. Yesterday Wu Shan told him that although Zhang Rui is in charge of Dongchang, and Zhang Yong is behind him, but given how much the emperor values ​​Zhou Zhong, he doesn't have to be afraid at all. Offend Zhang Rui.Although Zhou Zhong didn't know whether Wu Shan's words were credible, he had already made up his mind that if Zhang Rui dared to threaten him and ask him to hand over the Bai sisters, then even if he turned against her on the spot, he would still protect Bai. Sisters!

"The governor is busy with business, so I don't know why I came to see Zhou today?" Zhou Zhong and Zhang Rui said a few more polite words, and finally asked each other why they came.Zhang Rui has always kept a cold face, and his eyes are like knives when looking at people, and there is even a very uncomfortable feeling in his eyes, so Zhou Zhong really wants to send him away as soon as possible.

Hearing Zhou Zhong asked about his reason for coming, Zhang Rui finally had a wave of fluctuation on his face, but soon recovered that cold expression, and said without any emotional fluctuations in his tone: "Mr. Zhou, the Sa family is here today. I am asking for something, I hope you will never refuse!"

"Oh? With the Duke's power, what else in the world can trouble the Duke? Zhou is just a businessman, what can he do to help the Duke?" Zhou Zhong's heart sank when he heard this, and he asked knowingly , The tone of his words is already a bit bad, I hope Zhang Rui can hear it and retreat.

But to Zhou Zhong's disappointment, Zhang Rui didn't seem to have heard his words, and still said coldly: "The Sa family went to Yong'an Temple on business yesterday, and I didn't expect to meet the wife and sister of the Sa family before they entered the palace. Some misunderstandings. My wife and sister-in-law left me with my daughter. I am also very upset about this. I have been trying to find an opportunity to explain this misunderstanding to them, but I have never been able to find it. I did not expect to see it yesterday. The wife and sister are with the young master's wife, and they also know that my wife and daughter are also with the young master, so the Sa family came to visit, hoping that the young master can hand them over to me!"

Sure enough, as expected by Zhou Zhong, Zhang Rui came to ask for someone today.I saw that when Zhou Zhong heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, but now he said with a straight face: "Why can't Zhou understand what the Duke said? Among the female relatives who followed me to Yong'an Temple yesterday, except Zhou's wife and sister, and another woman named Flangji, the last two are also my women, I don't know which one the duke is talking about?"

The meaning of Zhou Zhong's words has been made very clear, that is to tell Zhang Rui that Bai Mengwan is his woman, and it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over her to the other party. To be shameless, so that the other party will retreat in the face of difficulties. After all, in a place like the capital, it is definitely not a good thing to offend a duke of the East Factory.

Hearing Zhou Zhong's words, Zhang Rui did not show a surprised expression. After all, when he saw Bai Mengwan and Zhou Zhong's wife together yesterday, he had already guessed this kind of result, but he is a very persistent person, so he spoke again. Said: "Young Master Zhou, the wife of the Sa family before entering the palace was named Bai Junwan, and the woman with the young master was her younger sister Bai Mengwan. Since Meng Wan is already the young master's woman, the Sa family will naturally not take away people's love, just hope You can give Jun Wan and the daughter of the Sa family to me!"

It was precisely because of Zhou Zhong's background that he couldn't figure it out, so Zhang Rui took the initiative to back down and proposed that only Bai Junwan and his daughter Qingqing should be taken. He wouldn't talk so much nonsense, and even sent Dongchang's fan to arrest the other party, and then forced him to hand over the Bai sisters.

But Zhou Zhong sneered when he heard this, Bai Mengwan was sincere to him, and he also liked her very much, so he not only had to protect her, but also the relatives around Bai Mengwan, besides, Bai Junwan was also doing very well in the chamber of commerce, Sanniang had already trained her as her successor, so Zhou Zhong, as the president, would naturally not be able to hand over such an important assistant because of threats from others, otherwise, what would the chamber of commerce think of him?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong looked up at Zhang Rui, and said with a blank expression: "I'm really sorry, Junwan has joined my Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and has done a very good job. Now He has become one of my important assistants, and as the chairman of the chamber of commerce, I naturally cannot hand over my subordinates to others, so I hope the Duke will forgive me!"

"You..." Hearing that Zhou Zhong was so disrespectful and rejected his request again, Zhang Rui finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart, stood up and stared at Zhou Zhong, his cold face was full of tears. Furious, since he took the position of Governor of the East Factory, no one in the entire capital dared to disrespect him like this.

Zhou Zhong kept staring into Zhang Rui's eyes. When he saw the resentment in his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ever since he saw Zhang Rui, he knew that the other party was a person with extreme thoughts. , People are either friends or enemies. Now that he has offended the other party, Zhang Rui must have listed him as an enemy.Moreover, once a person like Zhang Rui hates someone, he will bite like a mad dog. It seems that he has to be careful in the future.

"Young master Zhou, the Sa family advises you to reconsider. Junwan is my wife and Qingqing is my daughter. They should return to me no matter whether it is love or reason. If someone wants to forcibly separate our family , then don’t blame the Sajia for their unscrupulous methods!” Although Zhang Rui had already listed Zhou Zhong as an enemy, he still resisted the urge to tear his face and said, but the last sentence had already used a threatening tone.

Zhou Zhong is also a person who prefers softness to toughness. Hearing Zhang Rui's threatening words, he immediately sneered and said: "The governor has already entered the palace, so naturally he doesn't need any wives and daughters, so Junwan and the others don't bother to supervise them." I am concerned, Zhou will take care of their mother and daughter on behalf of Duke Du in the future!" (To be continued.
