Chapter 65 The First Quarrel
When Zeng Yiming arrived at Quanzhou Prefecture City, everything seemed to have settled. Mu Yixing had been arrested, and the personnel allocated by the Jinyiwei had arrived, and he was preparing to respond to Tiancheng with the batch of treasure luck that made him envious.
And all this happened two days before he arrived in Quanzhou Prefecture. In other words, if he had been able to arrive in Quanzhou Prefecture two days earlier, with his coordination and command, the East Factory would at least have a share of the pie, and would not have been a completely outsider like he is now.
No, it would be too much to say that Dongchang is just an outsider.
They still have "contributions", that is, Tianyanmen who was transferred from the government jail by them before, reprimanded Fang Ritu, and "successfully" was robbed under their hands.
This series of bad news hit him in an instant. Even Zeng Yiming, a confidant of Lu Zhongxing, could not resist, so that he had already begun to regret taking the initiative to ask Lu Zhongxing for his appointment to replace his opponent Li Wujiu's team.
Although these things have nothing to do with him and have happened before he arrived, the bosses in the world have the same reactions in such matters. How could they be kindly considerate of the difficulties of their subordinates? They only demand the result.
So as long as the result is bad, subordinates like Zeng Yiming who are in charge of these things will undoubtedly be the first to be taken out of the blame.
Therefore, even though he wanted to pull out all the incompetent people who followed Peng Zhenlei back in a mess, he would be punished and punished, but now he still had to endure the anger in his heart, and acted deeply dissatisfied, but considerate, comforting the stubborn people who were intimidated and fearful in front of him, and even had a desire for despair.
Naturally, he was so disgusting that he still had a lot of gains. Otherwise, if he was really like the Baba whom Oli gave him, he had eaten something and had not received the money yet, he was afraid that he would transform on the spot and directly took out a knife to kill all the incompetent people.
After enduring the disgust and dissatisfaction in his heart, he spent a whole day and finally integrated the remaining Dongchang actors again, Zeng Yiming finally had time to start thinking about how he should reverse the current situation that was extremely unfavorable to him.
The Jinyiwei has firmly occupied the absolute dominant position of Mu Yixing's series of things, and at the moment when Chen Yanqing has personally led all his hundreds of families to come, if he wants to use Lu Zhongxing's name to defeat others, let the Jinyiwei make contributions, and even be forced to agree to the East Factory to participate in the task of escorting treasures, Zheng Yixiang will inevitably be pushed back by Zheng Yixiang.
After all, this was the lowest position in the East Factory, and the Jinyiwei was trusted by the emperor. Even if Lu Zhongxing had the identity of an eunuch in charge of Yingtian, Chen Yanqing would not be afraid at all.
Moreover, even if Chen Yanqing would have a lower upper head in front of Lu Zhongxing, if his small stubborn head wants to pretend to be powerful in front of Chen Yanqing and rely on his power, he is afraid that Chen Yanqing will be able to deal with him fiercely on the spot, and will use this as an excuse to question Lu Zhongxing for not discipline his subordinates well.
There was no way to get a advantage in this series of cases, so Zeng Yiming had no choice but to turn his attention to the previous things that the Dongchang actors had done.
So, Zeng Yiming asked several posters in detail about the arrest of Fang Ritu. Naturally, Bai Shier, the most critical figure, instantly became his focus.
After asking all the news about Bai Shier in detail, he finally learned that the little flag of the Jinyiwei surnamed Bai was the bold madman who "killed" the emperor's sister Princess Xianyou, so he was being chased by Hu Xiaolin and their East Factory.
Just when he thought it was impossible to find Bai Shier, he asked him about the news about Fang Ritu, so he couldn't help but feel disappointed. He guessed a moment of his mind and told him something that surprised him and was happy.
"The White Banner Official is in the city at this time, cough, in the courtyard of the Jinyiwei next door."
...
"The villain Zeng Yiming, see Princess Xianyou, Princess Wan'an"
"Get up."
"Thank you, Princess."
"What did you come today?"
"Ahem,"
Looking at Zhu Jinxuan with an impatient look, Zeng Yiming felt a little nervous, but for his own purposes, he could only bite the bullet and speak carefully.
"The villain wants to ask the white flag official for some things, so this time he takes the liberty to come to pay homage to the princess. I hope the princess can..."
"He is now in Santai Mountain outside the city. If you want to find him, go there."
However, before he could finish speaking, Zhu Jinxuan interrupted him directly and spoke to him.
Although Zhu Jinxuan's face did not change at all, for some reason, Zeng Yiming felt that when she was saying the news about Bai Shier, there was resentment in her eyes.
"Yes, the villain understands, the villain has surrendered."
But Zeng Yiming obviously did not dare to have any idea of asking. On the contrary, at this moment he only regretted that he had not escaped fast enough.
He didn't want to and dare to get involved in such a thing.
"Wait a moment."
Unfortunately, he wanted to escape from here quickly, but when he retreated to the door, he turned around and was about to exit the room, he was interrupted by Zhu Jinxuan's words.
"Does the princess have any other instructions?"
Zeng Yiming, who was carrying his back, had a stiff body and his face couldn't help but feel ache, but he could only turn around helplessly, bowed and asked softly with a smile.
"Since you are going to see him, please give me a word to him."
Zhu Jinxuan seemed to struggle a little, but finally spoke.
"Yes, the villain understands. Please say it, princess."
Zeng Yiming felt a sudden pain in his heart when he heard Zhu Jinxuan's words, but he could only maintain the smiling and slightly flattering expression and bowed and replied.
"Yeah~"
Zhu Jinxuan became hesitant again at this time. I don’t know if she was regretting this decision or thinking about what she should ask Zeng Yiming to say to Bai Shier so that she could express her feelings clearly without exposing her relationship to an outsider like Zeng Yiming.
Fortunately, Zeng Yiming did not have the mental reading skills and didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise Zeng Yiming would be unable to help but complain.
It has reached this point now. Is there anyone else who doesn’t know the relationship between you and you?
"Let's forget it."
When Zeng Yiming felt that the silence lasted for a long time, he couldn't help but look up at Zhu Jinxuan quietly, Zhu Jinxuan sighed. What she said made Zeng Yiming feel urge to vomit blood.
"Then, that little man surrendered."
Zeng Yiming didn't know what expression he should have now, so he could only bury his head very low, try not to let Zhu Jinxuan see the expression on his face, and then speak back again.
Fortunately, this time, he was not stopped by Zhu Jinxuan anymore. He was finally able to leave and was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
...
Bai Shier has lived on Santai Mountain in the past few days in the tents temporarily built by the Jinyiwei, which is very consistent with his current identity as the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi.
However, in the eyes of Jinyiwei, as the "qualified princess" of the Princess Xianyou, he received the same treatment as Zheng Yixiang, a hundred households, and slept alone in a tent, rather than squeezing in a tent with several other people.
Although he always expressed his feelings to the outside world that he was worried that Mu Yixing and his men would be able to fight back, so he endured the behavior of sleeping in the open and staying on Santai Mountain, but everyone, including himself, knew that this was just a clumsy excuse, and he was just deceiving himself.
The reason why he really lived here was far simpler than this excuse, so simple that it was only two words.
quarrel.
Yes, he and Zhu Jinxuan had a fight.
In short, this should be the first quarrel they have had in so long. Of course, if they count by confirming each other's feelings or even relationships, their first quarrel seems to be too late.
As for the reasons for the quarrel, it is not complicated.
It was only after Zhu Jinxuan caught Mu Yixing that she learned about Bai Shier’s plan.
So Zhu Jinxuan felt that Bai Shier had lied to her. Especially when she found out, she actually included the yamen runners of the government office, Chao Wangtian of the Zhenhai Gang, and even Hu Xiaolin who had been by her side who had been protecting her. When she knew about this in advance, her dissatisfaction and anger reached its peak.
So, the first fierce quarrel broke out between the two.
Zhu Jinxuan believed that Bai Shier deliberately deceived her, while Bai Shier believed that the reason she did this was to protect her.
He thought that if Zhu Jinxuan had known this in advance, he would definitely ask to go to Santai Mountain with him. At that time, he didn't know how many subordinates Mu Yixing would lead this time. In order not to let Zhu Jinxuan fall into danger because he wanted to go to Santai Mountain with him, the safest way would naturally hide it from her.
But from Zhu Jinxuan's perspective, it is obviously not the case.
In her opinion, Bai Shier did this first to deceive her, and subconsciously regarded her as an unreasonable and unruly princess. She also felt that Bai Shier's approach to concealing her and making decisions for her was completely consistent in terms of what her royal brother had done before.
It was just to escape the life that she could not make any decisions and had everything arranged, so she finally bravely decided to escape from the palace and escape to Bai Shier. But Bai Shier's actions now made her feel uneasy to return to the past life.
Immediately afterwards, the quarrel between the two "returned to the "inherent routine" of quarrel between men and women.
Bai Shier felt that Zhu Jinxuan was making a big fuss and did not understand his good intentions for her safety.
Zhu Jinxuan believes that Bai Shier does not consider her ideas at all when doing things, and only cares about thinking from her own perspective and deciding what to do for her is the right way.
The quarrel between the two became louder and louder, so that they could not suppress the sound, so that the noise could be heard in the entire Jinyiwei courtyard.
Considering that the two were Zhu Jinxuan's identity, both Hu Xiaolin and the Jinyiwei Lishi who were left behind were responsible for the power of Zhu Jinxuan, could only lock himself in the house and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
But obviously, they were not really deaf and mute, so when Bai Shier was "driven" to Mount Santai by Zhu Jinxuan like all the men who were driven to the sofa in the living room, the reason why he came soon spread to the ears of all the Jinyiwei in Mount Santai.
Fortunately, the emperor was in the Forbidden City thousands of miles away. If he had seen this scene with his own eyes and heard these quarrels with his own ears, he would have been afraid that he would feel secretly happy in his heart.
...
When Zeng Yiming arrived at Santai Mountain, Bai Shier was still sulking.
He never expected that because of what happened before, he thought about Zhu Jinxuan's approach, not only did he not get the gentleness of Zhu Jinxuan, but instead caused a storm and storm. He showed no similarity to the gentle and intelligent woman he knew before, who was well-educated and polite, and knew how to be considerate.
That's why Zhu Jinxuan was angry and shouted at him, "Since you want to go to Santai Mountain, then go there and never come back!" After that, he left Quanzhou Prefecture City and ran to Santai Mountain to live with a group of Jinyiwei.
And he decided in anger.
If Zhu Jinxuan doesn't apologize to him, he won't go back.
However, although he was still sulking in his heart, and when Zeng Yiming arrived, his attitude was very bad, after Zeng Yiming expressed the purpose of this trip, he still answered the questions asked by Zeng Yiming as much as possible.
"There are a wide variety of flowers?"
After hearing Bai Shier talk about Fang Ritu’s purpose of coming to Quanzhou Prefecture this time, Zeng Yiming couldn’t help but frown.
"What was their purpose to catch her?"
"How do I know, I'm not them."
Bai Shier snorted and replied dissatisfiedly.
"However, Fang Ritu was captured by me, and was sent to the government jail by several constables, and then picked up by the people from your Dongchang. In this process, not many people knew about it, especially not many people knew that Fang Ritu was taken away by your Dongchang."
Fortunately, although he was still feeling sulky with Zhu Jinxuan, Bai Shier's mind was still clear and he immediately grasped the key point.
"Before I came to ask the White Banner Officer for advice, I had ordered my men to go down and investigate."
However, Zeng Yiming could naturally not be an incompetent person to become Lu Zhongxing's confidant. He had already considered what Bai Shier had considered.
"Since that's the case, I have nothing to help you."
Hearing this, Bai Shier couldn't help but curl his lips and started to drive people away.
"Thank you, the White Banner Officer, for your advice, so I will leave."
Zeng Yiming heard Bai Shier's implication and immediately stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
"Wait a moment."
However, at the same time, when he turned around and was about to leave, Bai Shier also called him, making him unable to help but feel a little emotional, and at the same time, a strange thought arose in his heart.
'He doesn't want me to ask Princess Xianyou to say something, right?'
"Not long ago, ten bodies were found in a dense forest ten miles outside the city. Judging from the results of the on-site autopsy, they may be related to the robbery of Fang Ritu. You might as well take the time to try to find clues from these ten dead people."
