Smuggling Daming

After killing the third uncle and his wife, although Qi Yanming felt sore and weak all over, he did not sit down to rest immediately, but took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely bright yet, Qi Yanming dragged his heavy body to the gate of the courtyard Before going out, he went out of the gate and locked the outside door with a lock, and then climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

The reason for doing this is because Qi Yanming knew that with his current physical condition, he could not go far at all, so it was best to rest here, but he was also worried that someone else would come to find the third uncle and his wife, so he did it from Lock the gate outside, so that even if someone comes, they will only think that the third uncle and his wife are not at home, at least in a short period of time, no one should break in.

After returning to the yard, Qi Yanming threw the bodies of his third uncle and his wife into the west room of the main room. This incident alone consumed most of his physical strength, and finally dragged his body back to the east room. I couldn't get up from the bed anymore, and my consciousness was a little fuzzy, and finally fell asleep groggyly.

Because of the poisoning, Qi Yanming's body was extremely weak, and he slept soundly this time, but when he woke up, he found that it was already dark, which surprised him first, and immediately got up from the bed to check After a while, it turned out that there was nothing unusual in the room and in the yard, and the bodies of the third uncle and his wife had not been touched, which made Qi Yanming finally relieved.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Qi Yanming went to the shed to make some random things for himself. After a whole day of sleep, although he still felt uncomfortable in his stomach and his whole body was a little weak, it was much better before. Especially after eating.It made Qi Yanming feel refreshed a lot.

The place of right and wrong cannot stay for a long time. If the third uncle and his wife don't show up for a few days, they will definitely attract the attention of the villagers. Therefore, Qi Yanming feels that his strength has recovered, and immediately packed some food in the third uncle's house, and then took advantage of the night to climb over the wall Go out, run all the way to Shizui Cliff, and then find a cave to live in for a few days until the body recovers almost.Only then did he climb over Shizui Cliff and leave the boundary of Bazhou.

Just when Qi Yanming finally escaped from the siege of officers and soldiers after nine deaths, Zhou Zhong and his party also came to Shandong, and soon came to Qingzhou Mansion next to Mount Tai. Turning east from Qingzhou Mansion, they could reach Weihaiwei. Then board the ship there.You can go back the same way.

Last time Zhou Zhong and the others also passed through Qingzhou, but because they were in a hurry, they only stayed in Qingzhou city for one night, and left immediately the next morning. They had no time to appreciate the scenery in the city, as for Mount Tai not far away.They can only take a look at it from a distance.

But when he came back this time, Zhou Zhong planned to stay in the city for two days.Firstly, Jinxuan is pregnant now, so it is not suitable for long-term bumping, and she needs to cultivate her body in the city. Secondly, it is a rare opportunity. The last time Zhuoer and Xie Lingyun passed by Mount Tai, they wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai. Unfortunately, there was no time at that time. Zhou Zhong had promised them to climb Mount Tai again when they came back.So he can't break his promise, and there is a third reason.That was Zhou Zhong wanted to visit someone in the city, and talk about a business by the way.

Zhou Zhong kept a low profile along the way, and when he passed by some state capitals, he didn't display his guard of honor, and even many local officials didn't know he was coming.However, when they arrived in Qingzhou, Zhou Zhong sent someone to notify the local officials in the city in advance, and then entered Qingzhou with a guard of honor equipped by the court. They greeted them at the door, but the person standing in front of these officials was not the prefect of Qingzhou, but a middle-aged man in his 30s wearing a python robe and a jade belt around his waist.

Zhou Zhong was not surprised by this middle-aged man who stood at the head of the officials. If he guessed correctly, the other party should be Heng Wang Zhu Youzhen, who was entrusted to Qingzhou. This Heng Wang and Emperor Xiaozong are half-brothers The brother, that is, the uncle of Emperor Zhengde, was enfeoffed in Qingzhou one year before Emperor Xiaozong died, and the fief included the entire Jiaodong Peninsula. This shows that Emperor Xiaozong loved this younger brother.

Zhou Zhong couldn't help but feel a little flattered to see Zhu Youzhen, who is the King of Fan, coming to greet him in person, but before he got off his horse, Zhu Youzhen greeted him very warmly and said with a smile: "I think this is the famous man." Admiral Zhou Zhongzhou of the world, I like Master Zhou's Journey to the West very much, I have long wanted to make friends with Master Zhou, and today I finally got my wish!"

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's enthusiasm, Zhou Zhong hastily stepped forward and saluted, "Your lord, who is a daughter of gold, actually came to welcome the lower official in person, it really flatters the lower official!"

In fact, what Zhou Zhong didn't know was that the reason why the King Heng in front of him came to welcome him was not because he was a newcomer to the Ming Dynasty, but because Zhu Youzhen liked literature very much, and he couldn't put it down for Journey to the West, so he directed at Zhou Zhong It is the author of Journey to the West, so he came to greet him personally, otherwise, if it was replaced by another court official, I am afraid that he would not be able to invite him at all.

Now Zhou Zhong and Zhu Youzhen said a few words of modesty, and then those Qingzhou local officials who stood behind also stepped forward to greet Zhou Zhong.The news in the officialdom has always spread the fastest, so these officials in Qingzhou know that Zhou Zhong in front of him is not very old, but he is extremely favored by His Majesty, but he has already been promoted to the important task of Admiral of the Four Seas at such a young age , who is in charge of the affairs of the Ming coast, can be said to be a high position and authority. If they fawn on such a person, then they will be equivalent to having a big backer in the future.

It is precisely because of this that these Qingzhou officials also showed extraordinary enthusiasm for Zhou Zhong. When they came up to the ceremony, they tried their best to express themselves, hoping to leave an impression on Zhou Zhong, and Zhou Zhong Zhong felt that these Qingzhou officials would be needed in the future, so he acted very seriously, keeping the names of several important administrators firmly in his heart.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Youzhen led the officials to welcome Zhou Zhong and his party to Qingzhou City. The name was also changed to Qingzhou Prefecture, so Yidu City is naturally also known as Qingzhou City.

After entering Qingzhou City, the local officials had already prepared a residence for Zhou Zhong and the others, and to his surprise, this residence was next to Zhu Youzhe's Prince Heng Mansion. Relying on their temporary residence, even the Connecting Wind Banquet was held in Prince Heng's Mansion.

Regarding Zhu Youzhen's warm hospitality, Zhou Zhong was still a little puzzled at first, but after drinking for three rounds, Zhu Youzhen also let go, and began to discuss with him some plots in Journey to the West, and even asked some headaches. For example, does Sun Wukong really have no parents?Did Tang Seng fall in love with the king of his daughter country, etc. Seeing his obsessive appearance, it was like the appearance of a book fan in later generations when meeting an author. This also made Zhou Zhong finally understand why the other party was so enthusiastic. After a long time It turned out that Zhu Youzhuo turned out to be his fan.

Speaking of Zhou Zhong’s three reasons for staying in Qingzhou, the last one is to visit a person, and this person is his fan Zhu Youzhuo. The reason for visiting him is also very simple, that is to discuss cooperation development with him Sea sausage resources produced along the coast of Jiaodong Peninsula jointly monopolize the production of MSG.

Originally, Zhou Zhong planned to persuade Zhengde to monopolize the production of monosodium glutamate with him in the name of Neiku. At the same time, the imperial court issued a decree to prohibit unlimited fishing of sea sausages, so as not to cause the extinction of sea sausages.

However, the development of things later was beyond Zhou Zhong's expectations. He didn't expect Zhengde to convince himself to let him become an official of Ming Dynasty, and he also held a lot of power in his hands.Although Zhou Zhong's change of identity was somewhat unexpected, it also brought him a lot of convenience. For example, Zhou Zhong didn't have to cooperate with Zhengde for the profitable business of monosodium glutamate. The local dignitaries in Shandong have already monopolized the purchase of sea sausages, and they can also formulate corresponding rules to prevent overfishing of sea sausages. It just so happens that the dignitaries Zhou Zhong chose are Heng Wang Zhu Youzhen.

It was also Zhou Zhong who wanted to cooperate, and Zhu Youzhen also wanted to make friends with Zhou Zhong because of the relationship between Journey to the West, so the two naturally had a good chat at the banquet, and even the Qingzhou officials who were accompanying them were a little surprised. Knowing that Zhou Zhong and Zhu Youzhen didn't know each other before, I am afraid that now they will think that they are friends who have known each other for many years and are reminiscing about the past.

After the welcome banquet, Zhou Zhong went back to the residence next to the palace to rest for the night. In the early morning of the next day, Bracelet ran to Zhou Zhong and Jinxuan's room without any scruples, and then argued about going to climb Mount Tai. Compared with later generations, Mount Tai is definitely the No. 1 mountain in the world in this era, and even the emperor thought of Mount Tai as a Buddhist, so we can see the charm of Mount Tai.

Zhou Zhong was a little worried about Jinxuan's health, so he wanted her to stay in the residence and rest for a day. It would be fine for them to climb Mount Tai with the bracelets, but Jinxuan disagreed. In her words, she passed by Mount Tai twice. It would be a pity if you can't climb Mount Tai.As for her body, Jinxuan didn't try to be brave, and told Zhou that she would do what she could, and rest on the mountain when she was tired, so she would never hurt the child.

Speaking of which, Jinxuan has already passed the dangerous period of the first three months of pregnancy, and except for some morning sickness reactions, everything else is doing very well, and if everyone goes to visit Mount Tai, only Jinxuan will be left alone. It's really boring here, so after Zhou Zhong thought about it, he finally agreed to let Jinxuan go to Mount Tai with them.

But just when Zhou Zhong took Jinxuan and the others to go out, someone from Prince Heng's Mansion came to report that Zhu Youzhen invited Zhou Zhong and his family to visit Mount Tai, which made Zhou Zhong laugh out loud. Unexpectedly, they The two thought of going together. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
