Chapter 107 Transaction
The next day, when Yu Zheng packed up and prepared to leave the house, Zhao Manying came.
"I heard that the prince went to Lingyin Temple yesterday, why didn't he ask Manying to accompany him?"
Zhao Manying looked aggrieved. She was scolded by Zhao Renxian for this matter.
No matter what today, she has to follow Yu Zheng, otherwise Zhao Renxian will not let her go.
Glancing at Zhao Manying's pretentious look, Yu Zheng frowned in disgust: "I don't like the company of others, so Miss Zhao doesn't need to worry about me."
Unexpectedly, Yu Zheng was so straightforward, Zhao Manying was stunned for a moment.
Seeing the impatience on Yu Zheng's face, Zhao Manying hurriedly stated: "To be honest, Manying doesn't want to pester the prince. She is forced to do so."
"This is Miss Zhao's business and has nothing to do with me." Yu Zheng said and was about to leave.
Zhao Manying hurriedly said: "The daughter of the people wants to make a deal with the prince."
"Oh?" Yu Zheng became slightly interested.
He wanted to hear what kind of deal she could make with him.
Seeing that success aroused Yu Zheng's interest, Zhao Manying glanced outside the room with a vigilant expression.
Yu Zheng urged: "Don't worry, Zhuiyun is outside, no one can get close and eavesdrop."
"Yes." Zhao Manying squeezed her hands and said sternly: "Your Majesty is honest and honest, diligent in government and loves the people. He will certainly not tolerate corrupt officials."
Hearing the words "corrupt officials", Yu Zheng's dark eyebrows raised slightly.
"go on."
The words have been spoken, and there is no way out.
Zhao Manying mustered up her courage and said with a desperate determination: "I know the evidence that my uncle and the governor of Jiangnan have been corrupt and bribery, and I want to exchange this with the prince for something."
"What?" Yu Zheng asked.
Zhao Manying's eyes were bright, full of hope, and she expressed her request with excitement.
Yu Zheng did not hesitate after hearing this and immediately agreed.
Zhao Manying added: "Manying has one more request."
"Can I let Man Ying follow the prince these days, otherwise my uncle will make things difficult for me. Besides, if Man Ying follows the prince, it will also make them relax their vigilance."
Yu Zheng thought it was reasonable and Zhao Manying's request was not too much, so he agreed.
"I will comply with your request, but it is best that what you say is true. Otherwise, I will tell your uncle that you betrayed him."
Hearing this, Zhao Manying shuddered.
Yu Zheng is so cruel.
If Zhao Renxian knew that she had betrayed him, she would be tortured to a point worse than death.
"Let's go to Lin'an Mansion." Yu Zheng walked out of the house, and Zhao Manying quickly followed.
The two of them left the house and got on the carriage, and someone immediately went to report to Zhao Renxian.
After hearing this, Zhao Renxian showed a lewd smile: "Let me tell you, there are no men who are not lewd at all, let alone the beauty who comes to your door."
Zhao Manying is a typical Jiangnan beauty, gentle, elegant, and charming, no man can resist.
If it weren't for his biological niece, which was really against human ethics, Zhao Renxian would have enjoyed it himself.
As for the old governor of the south of the Yangtze River, giving him was a waste of resources and not worth the gain.
With such an excellent chess piece, it is natural for her to maximize her value in exchange for the highest benefits.
Zhao Renxian firmly believed that Zhao Manying would be able to climb into Yu Zheng's bed and become his help.
Maybe it won't be long before he can be promoted.
He had really had enough of the position of governor of Lin'an Prefecture, and it was time for him to change it.
The spring is bright and the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, making it the perfect place to go out and enjoy the scenery.
Yu Zheng and Zhao Manying went boating on the West Lake in the morning and went to Nancheng for tea in the afternoon.
After returning home in the evening, Zhao Renxian questioned him carefully, and Zhao Manying answered truthfully.
After learning that Yu Zheng actually liked to travel and the two got along very happily, Zhao Renxian relaxed and asked Zhao Manying to accompany Yu Zheng on the trip, hoping to become Yu Zheng's pillow as soon as possible.
Zhao Manying complied respectfully and left with a gentle step.
After she left, Zhao Renxian's cronies came into the room and asked, "Sir, are you still following her secretly?"
"Of course I have to follow. That's King Jing. If anything goes wrong, you and I will be dead." Zhao Renxian looked cold and cruel.
Yu Zheng was famous, so he didn't dare to let down his guard.
In the next few days, Zhao Manying accompanied Yu Zheng to almost visit Lin'an Mansion.
"My uncle is suspicious by nature and will not completely trust me. He will definitely send someone to follow me secretly. We have to look for him quietly. Otherwise, once he notices something, he will immediately move away."
Zhao Manying grew up in front of Zhao Renxian and knew Zhao Renxian's temperament very well.
Compared with Zhao Manying's cautiousness, Yu Zheng didn't care much.
Zhao Renxian sent people to follow him secretly, and he also sent people to keep an eye on Zhao Renxian secretly. As long as Zhao Renxian makes any changes, Yu Zheng will know immediately.
Don't be afraid that he will make a move, just be afraid that he won't.
Yu Zheng knew very well that Zhao Renxian had been in the officialdom for many years and would not easily expose his flaws, so he could only be patient and search for it secretly.
Five days passed by. That evening, when Yu Zheng and Zhao Manying were shopping at a jewelry store, Zhuiyun suddenly came in and whispered in Yu Zheng's ear: "Master, I found it."
Yu Zheng frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "Lead the way."
Zhuiyun walked quickly in front, followed closely by Yu Zheng and Zhao Manying.
The men sent by Zhao Renxian followed him at a short distance. When they entered a secluded alley, Zhufeng fell from the sky and wiped the man's neck with a tiger-head hook.
After getting rid of the tail, Yu Zheng and others turned around and headed north of the city.
As the sky darkened, Jiang Shu and Tan Yu were walking back to the inn, looking very happy.
"Master, are we going back to Beijing tomorrow?" Tan Yu asked enthusiastically.
Yesterday they found a silk shop, and the quality of the silk goods was very good. Today Jiang Shu met with the owner of the silk shop and the two successfully reached a cooperation.
Their purpose of coming here has been completed, and it has been more than twenty days since they came out. It is indeed time to return to Beijing.
Thinking of what Yu Zheng said to her that day, Jiang Shu felt that before leaving, she should send a message to Yu Zheng.
"Master, please give me some money. I haven't eaten in three days..."
People were coming and going on the street. Jiang Shu was squeezed inadvertently and accidentally stepped on a beggar's bowl on the roadside.
The bowl was already torn and cracked, but when Jiang Shu stepped on it, it completely shattered into several pieces.
The unkempt little beggar looked at the shattered bowl, cried with distress, and hugged Jiang Shu's feet without letting go.
"You pay for my bowl, pay for my bowl!"
"Isn't it just a broken bowl? I'll pay you, please let go of my master first." Tan Yu took out his money bag and prepared to pay for the bowl.
When the little beggar holding Jiang Shu saw him, he suddenly reached out and snatched the money bag from Tan Yu's hand, and ran away quickly.
"Hey, stop!" Tan Yu chased after him.
Jiang Shu had no choice but to chase.
The little beggar was young, about seven or eight years old. He was so thin that he seemed to fall over if the wind blew, but he could run faster than a rabbit.
"At this speed, he said he hadn't eaten in three days. Who would believe it!" Tan Yu shouted while chasing him.
"You brat, give me back the purse. There are earrings my mother left for me in it."
If it were just scattered silver and copper coins, they would be lost if they were lost, but in the purse there were not only the relics left by Tan Yuniang to her, but also several banknotes.
They chased the little beggar around and around, and finally stopped at a dead end alley.
The alley was cold and secluded, and looked a little scary.
"Master, let's go take a look first." said the guard who followed.
Jiang Shu nodded and let them go first.
The master and servant stood waiting at the entrance of the alley, when suddenly a strangely familiar voice sounded behind them.
"Miss Jiang? Why are you here?"
