"This person has a good background?"
"It's unfathomable." Wang Yehao lowered his voice unconsciously when he said this, "Not to mention other things, he can even speak to the slave chief."
"There is such a person!" Mr. Zhou was surprised.
"The ancestors of Li Luoyou's family were originally big businessmen in Liaodong," Wang Yehao said enthusiastically. "We have long-term friendships with the Mongolian tribes outside the country and the old slaves in Jianzhou. Therefore, the business in Mongolia and Liaodong has always been It has never been broken. Now he and Kun Thief are flirting with each other again - it is said that Kun Thief buys a lot of cattle and sheep skins from him every year. He also has great backers in the court, including several cabinet ministers and eunuchs in the palace. No one dared to touch him.”
"If we could get his help, wouldn't it be easier to rebel against Kun?"
"I've thought about it too. It's just that Mr. Li's scheming is unfathomable. I can't understand or figure it out!"
"If you're not a friend, you're an enemy..."
Mr. Wang and Zhou Lezhi were both shocked. They did not expect that their husband would say such decisive words. Judging from his expression, these words were not a joke.
"Sir, be careful. If Mr. Li really becomes our enemy, I'm afraid that the thieves will become more powerful." Wang Yehao said, "He is wavering now. Although he refuses to rebel, he is still loyal to the court... "
Back in his courtyard, Mr. Zhou ignored Curie and Newton and plunged into his study without knowing what he was busy with.
Zhou Lezhi was ordered to meet Li Luoyou and learned a lot from the conversation. I returned to my husband and told him exactly what had happened.
"What do you think this person's attitude is towards the Kun thief?"
"Well, as Mr. said, it's 'tangled'."
"Tangled? Haha, you said it well!" Mr. Zhou laughed, "Although I haven't seen him, I can probably guess his mentality when people talk about his deeds."
"Yes, he was extremely disappointed with the government; but he couldn't accept the idea of helping the thieves and becoming the hero of the new dynasty." Zhou Lezhi recalled the entire meeting, "If he has any original intention, it is that he is not I am willing to allow barbarians like Kun and the Donglu to take over China..."
"Barbarians? Are thieves also barbarians?" Mr. Zhou seemed surprised, and then laughed again, "Yes, yes, they are indeed barbarians!"
Zhou Lezhi didn't know what was so funny about him - this traitor came from overseas. Even though he claimed to be a descendant of the Song Dynasty, he also entered the barbarians and became Xia. What is he if he is not a barbarian?
"So, as long as a Chinese hero is the emperor, it doesn't matter who he is."
"He doesn't dare to say this. That's probably what I think he really means."
"Of course he dare not say it." Mr. nodded slightly, "He is different from the Liang family."
Although the Liang family is making money from Australians, they are at odds with the Kun thieves. When the critical moment comes, it is not impossible to destroy the family to provide relief. The Li family is different.
"Does he still intend to make guns and cannons?"
"What Li Luoyu cares about most is to refresh firearms. The imperial court originally asked Guangdong to cast cannons, but the wages were too low. Moreover, he felt that the cannons being made now were too poor, so he might as well get Kun Thief. The art of making cannon..."
"Damn, what kind of logic is this?" Mr. Zhou cursed and asked, "What else did he say about Kun Thief?"
"He said that the thief Kun treated the common people like his own children, and that the government was very trustworthy... In short, he said a lot of good things."
"Shit!" Mr. Zhou sneered, "You killed so many people in Guangdong, and you still hang them up as street lights and treat the people like your own children!"
"Sir, please calm down. Mr. Li also said that the thieves have no righteous intentions and only use small favors to seduce the ignorant people. They have done countless things such as shaving one's head to make people accept the incest."
Mr. Zhou was calm after hearing this. He walked around the room a few times and said, "When you go to see him, tell him that you have a gunnery book on Kun Thief. Although it mainly talks about gunnery, But it also contains some cannon-making technology. If he is interested, you can give it to him."
"Yes, students understand." Zhou Lezhi knew that this pamphlet should be written by his husband. Speaking of which, my husband is really an "all-rounder", he understands everything and knows everything.
"He will definitely be interested. Fish him slowly. I still have a few books here. You can give them to him when the time is right."
"Students know."
"Go ahead." The gentleman said, "Have you finished reading all the books I asked you to read?"
"Read it all."
"Bring me your reading notes tonight and I'll take a look."
The teacher paid close attention to Zhou Lezhi's studies. Not only would he often show him books to read, he would also ask him to write reading notes based on his experiences, and then give lectures based on the contents of the books and notes the next day. Although studying was stressful, Zhou Lezhi actually enjoyed it.
After dinner in the evening, he took his notes and went to his husband's courtyard. Unexpectedly, before he stepped through the courtyard door, he heard a commotion in the main room. There was also an angry shout from Mr.
This is surprising. Zhou Lezhi has been with Mr. Zhou for many years, and it is rare for him to get angry, and it is even rarer for him to scold his servants. Why is this a curse?
He quickly walked in and saw a maid hurriedly coming out of the main room with Zhou Juli in her arms. There were tears in the little girl's eyes, and she was sobbing in the maid's arms. Then he looked at Yourong's proud face as he stood in the corridor of the west wing. Standing next to him was a servant girl holding Zhou Newton.
Wang Zhi was in the corridor of the main room. When he saw Zhou Lezhi coming, he hurriedly greeted him and whispered: "You came just in time! Go in quickly to persuade..."
"What's going on inside?"
"It's Miss Yui..." Wang Zhi hesitated, "I value you the most, go and persuade her."
"Hmph, I'm afraid this kind of rebellious thing can't be dissuaded," Yourong said in a strange tone in the corridor, "It's better to ask the family quickly and ask questions!"
Zhou Lezhi frowned. To be honest, he had no special impression of his husband's two concubines - he was always cautious about his husband's women. Whether it was Yui, Yourong, or the missing Zhiling, they all kept their distance and gave them a wide berth.
However, compared to Yui and Zhiling, he was somewhat disgusted with women like Yourong who came from a vocational college, and felt that they were too "skilled". After Yourong gave birth to his son, he became even more arrogant and his words and deeds were quite excessive.
He pretended not to hear what Yourong said, and only told the king: "You should close the courtyard door and keep a watchman. Don't disturb other people in the palace."
"Should we send someone to report to the master immediately?"
"No, let's wait until things calm down." Zhou Lezhi felt that this was probably Master's "family scandal" and it was better not to make it public.
When I came to the corridor of the main room, I saw the fan was open and there were broken teapots and cups on the square tile floor. Yui knelt on the ground and just cried. The gentleman's face turned red and he was so angry that he could not speak coherently.
"You...you...you dare to drug me?! Tell me! Who told you to do this!"
With a bang, another vase broke on the ground.
Zhou Lezhi's scalp felt numb: Give him medicine! This is incredible. I originally wanted to open my mouth to persuade him, but now I didn’t even dare to say anything.
Yui knelt on the ground and kowtowed like a chicken rushing to break rice: "Master Mingjian, slave girl, this is a tonic. Master is slave girl's heaven, how dare I bully heaven! slave girl is wronged! wronged!"
"Since it's a tonic, what can't you tell me? You sneaked into the tea, no wonder the tea tastes bad these days! What's your intention?!" The gentleman's expression was distorted, and he roared, "Here, call Liu Zhao! He's not Are you from Zhenfusi? Just ask me!"
"Master, please spare my life!"
He saw that Yui's forehead was swollen and the skin was broken. No one around him dared to say anything, so Zhou Lezhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Sir..."
Mr. Zhou glanced at him, and he instantly felt what "killing with eyes" meant. Zhou Lezhi had never seen Mr. Zhou so angry, but for the sake of Mr. Zhou's face and family harmony, he had no choice but to speak reluctantly.
"Sir, please don't be angry. Didn't you teach me in the past not to make decisions on impulse? You also said, 'Without investigation, you have no right to speak.' Even if there is something wrong with Miss Yui, you still have to get things done. Once you know it clearly, you can make a decision..."
"I've seen it all! What else is there to say?" Although the gentleman's voice was loud, his momentum had already subsided. Zhou Lezhi knew that there was something going on, so he quickly continued to admonish:
"Although seeing is believing, Miss Yui has been serving my husband for many years and has a basis of affection. My husband and she have Curie together. What motive does she have to harm my husband? Hasn't my husband always taught me that everything must be logical and based on motives?" Need to investigate and study..."
Mr. Zhou seemed to be moved by these words. Zhou Lezhi quickly winked at Wang Zhi at the door. Wang Zhi understood and immediately poked the servant girl who was holding Curie.
The servant girl understood immediately, and immediately ran into the house with Curie in her arms, knelt down and cried: "Master! Master! Miss Yui made a lot of mistakes, please, for the sake of Curie, spare her..." "
Curie was so frightened that his face turned pale, and now he was crying even more. The gentleman had a look of helplessness on his face, and he took a deep breath and said, "That's alright! In that case, I'll do as you said - investigate first!"
When the servants saw that the master was relieved, they quickly gathered around. Some cleaned the floor and tidied up the house, some hurriedly carried Yui away, and some brought tea...
Zhou Lezhi just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his husband say: "Yi is not allowed to leave, I have something to ask!"
Zhou Lezhi knew that he would not be able to sleep unless he got to the bottom of what happened today, so he immediately ordered: "Everyone should be busy with whatever they are supposed to do, and watch the excitement."
The servants quickly retreated after hearing the sound, only to hear Yourong's voice coming from the corridor of the west wing again: "Huh, even if you say it, it's..."
The gentleman grabbed a teapot and threw the water and the teapot outside the door. With a crisp cracking sound, someone cried a few times in the yard, and then there was silence.
Zhou Lezhi hurriedly signaled Wang Zhi to close all the fans. He turned around and advised again: "Sir, please don't get angry. Even if there is something wrong with Miss Yui, it's not too late to apologize after you find out."
