Chapter 391 The Second Student

Wang Hua was playing hide and seek, but the court was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Many people have always been very clear about Zhang Zhi and Wang Shen's escape from Gong County, but they don't understand why they made such a fortune so quickly in just a few years.

Wang Huaqian went to Songzhou, but interrogated Wang Jian and some other related criminals, and wrote a memorial to the court as well as some of his speculations.Said the whole story.

The prosperity of Wang Shen and Zhang Zhi was also caused by Wang Hua's failure to eradicate the roots.They fled to the south when notification orders were issued from various places.After all, the south, especially the area south of Lingnan, is the most evacuated area managed by the imperial court.

At that time, there was no way out, and the two families happened to have some young and middle-aged laborers, and some money in their hands, so they enlisted some criminals and poor people who could not live on, raised the banner and became the king of the mountain.But it didn't take long, and he was targeted by the government, so he started to flee again.This time he fled overseas.Originally, he wanted to escape to the south of Cochin with the boat.Unexpectedly, the boat was blown to Kalimantan Island by the hurricane, which is now known as Poli.

It happened that Zhang Zhongjian established a small country here at that time.But over time, the local aborigines gradually began to civilize and rebelled.After they landed on the island, it was the time when this group of indigenous people resisted the most.The descendants of Zhang Zhongjian, that is, when Zhang Wangbei and his men in front of him were defeated and fled.All the way to the north, they met Zhang Zhi and Wang Shen, who were both from China, and Zhang Wangbei asked them for help.

Originally, Zhang Zhi and Wang Shen didn't want to take care of this matter, but they saw that the local aborigines were backward in using weapons, and that gold and spices were produced here, so they made an attempt.He agreed to Zhang Wangbei's request.These groups are all bandits, and they have advanced weapons that have not been known for hundreds of years. However, the biggest shortcoming is that they do not understand the terrain, climate and local conditions.But now, because of Zhang Wangbei's leadership, this shortcoming was made up for, and the rebellion was soon suppressed.

At this time, Zhang Zhi and Wang Shen accepted Zhang Wangbei's regime.Zhang Wangbei didn't think of anything else, he just wanted to go back to Middle Earth.The Zhang and Wang families also followed his advice, and later found a route to the Central Plains by groping, and brought a large amount of goods to the Central Plains for trading.This is the first fortune of the Zhang and Wang families.

But what they gathered was a group of desperadoes. Zhang Zhi and Wang Shen found inspiration and gathered a group of fleeing Tang Dynasty people. Anyway, there are many criminals in Lingnan.Moreover, he bought many weapons privately from the Tang Dynasty.With these criminals and weapons, their power in the South China Sea surged again, and they plundered the aborigines.This in turn amasses more wealth for them.

He also agreed to Zhang Wangbei, but after seeing his skill, Wang Jian's elder brother Wang Sheng became hostile again.Ask Zhang Wangbei to do one thing for him before he can regain his freedom.After arriving in the Central Plains, Wang Sheng asked Zhang Wangbei to assassinate Wang Hua.This is a plan to kill two islands with one stone.It would be even better if Zhang Wangbei succeeds, and if they succeed or fail, it will be as they wish.Because Zhang has been operating on the island for many years, he still has many trusted people and prestige.But at that time, Zhang Wang probably couldn't bear to assassinate Wang Hua, or he didn't have the confidence to assassinate Wang Hua, so he refused repeatedly.

Wang Sheng was not happy, and humiliated him several times.

At this time, the news of the route also spread on the island. Some people secretly left Poli Island. After going through hardships, some people quietly found Zhang Wangbei in the Tang Dynasty.This was the power in Zhang Wangbei's hands at first.And after a long time, Zhang Wangbei was influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and he began to understand that he was treated as a chess piece, and he no longer felt grateful to the Zhang family and the Wang family.So without telling the two families, he began to arrange some forces by himself.

But their progress was slow, and the two families over there soon formed alliances with the seven surnames and ten families, which in turn strengthened their power and used some money to buy some powerful people.In fact, the power of the two in the Central Plains is so great that ordinary people can't imagine.Still, he dared not show up publicly.

So Zhang Wangbei and his cronies consulted countless historical books, and came up with a plan for this treasure, and let the two tigers compete.

After seeing this memorial, everyone didn't know what to do. If it was disclosed, it would prove once again the weakness of the imperial court and the corruption of officials.

At this time, I received Song Jing's memorial.

Wang Hua's condition was very simple, Wang Jian stayed and gave himself the freedom to deal with it.

Song Jing was a little bit dumbfounded, after going through such a lot of trouble, she only mentioned this small condition.

But suddenly from the depths of his heart, he was in awe.This represents Wang Hua's respect for the law. After all, whether Wang Jian violated the law of the court or committed a major crime of rebellion.If it is handled according to the law, Wang Hua has no right to interfere and must be executed immediately.

Of course, I am afraid that few ministers in the court really take the law as such a thing.

Knowing Wang Hua's conditions, Song Jing breathed a sigh of relief.He wrote a memorial for him, but he didn't dare to say any conditions, so he wrote very euphemistically, expressing Wang Hua's request.

When the memorial arrived at the court, Li Xian also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it, and immediately agreed.

A few days passed, and Wang Hua was at ease, and the case of Widow Jin was also investigated. This is indeed an unjust case, but there is nothing else involved.

After receiving the oral order, Song Jing returned to Luoyang.Wang Hua also left Songzhou, returned to Bianzhou, and tried the treasure again, but this time he was basically confined to the case itself and did not deliberately expand it.A storm also subsided.However, this time Li Xian's attitude was not to calm down the situation.

More ministers saw Li Xian's weakness and began to move around.

However, Wang Hua was only concerned that he did not hurt the ministers of various courts. On the contrary, the so-called big Xia industry was very strict. Regarding this point, except for some people, most ministers still welcomed it. of.Regardless of the grievances between Wang Hua and them, it also brought some benefits to the court.

Gradually, September was approaching, and Wang Hua was working, when suddenly a guard came in to report that someone wanted to see him.

Wang Hua let him in.

A man in black was in his thirties, but Wang Hua stared at him and said, "We've met before."

The man in black nodded.

Wang Hua said again: "In Luoyang."

The man in black nodded again.

"You wanted to assassinate me then?"

Still nodding.

Wang Huaxu made a quotation and said, "Sit."

The man in black sat down calmly.

"Please tell me your honorable name."

"Don't dare, my name is Zhang Wangbei."

"Zhang Wangbei? What does Zhang Zhongjian have to do with you?"

"That's my great-grandfather."

Wang Hua suddenly patted the gavel and said, "Zhang Wangbei, do you know what kind of heinous crime you have committed?"

"Scholar Wang, we have committed a crime. It cannot be described as a heinous crime. Those high-ranking ministers and lords in the court who really committed a heinous crime. We just used some small extreme methods, like gouging out a patient. It’s like pustules. Maybe Xueshi Wang is actually the happiest in his heart, so let’s do this.”

This is sophistry.If it was true what he said, then he would have contacted himself very early on, instead of being forced to show up until today.At the end of the day, they just want to start a fight and profit from it.

But Wang Hua didn't want to argue with him anymore, and asked directly, "Tell me, what's your business here."

"I'm here to make a deal with Xueshi Wang."

"What deal?"

"The list Wang Xueshi found out in Chenzhou is only part of them. I have other lists, but I have one condition, release my people."

Wang Hua narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhang Wangbei.

He wrote a memorial to the court about what happened.In fact, there are still many things that have not been written.During his interrogation, he learned that apart from Chenzhou, there are other strongholds, such as Guangzhou and Yangzhou.These are not managed by Wang Jian, so the useful information obtained is limited.

But what makes Wang Hua dumbfounded is that the two families took a group of bandits out to sea. It was Wang Shen who told the story of Three Phoenixes and Four Phoenixes when Wang Hua was a child. There are many precious stones in gold.That was the inspiration.Wang Hua couldn't even remember when he said this.Perhaps it was the four words of many precious stones and gold that left a deep impression on Wang Shen.

There is also good news that Sifeng is still alive.But he was not overseas, but Zhang Zhi was brought to the Central Plains. As for where, Wang Jian didn't know.

In fact, Zhang Wangbei didn't have many cards to play. Although he first followed Wang Sheng and then Wang Jian in the past few years, since Wang Jian didn't know anything, he probably didn't know much.

Moreover, Wang Hua also concealed many clues.Now the sudden enlightenment of these two families made him feel very uncomfortable.So be sure to remove them all.But it is impossible to count on officials from all over the country, on the contrary, it will be unspoken.

So pull out the clues in the bright place, leave the clues in the dark place, and continue to track.And now Wang Hua's power is developing very fast, all he needs is time.He didn't want to push these people into a hurry all at once, and he didn't know where to escape.

Moreover, it seemed that the two families were enlightened, but they actually made the biggest mistake.That is the disproportion between wealth and power.The development has been very fast in the past few years, but there are no important ministers in the court to protect it.There are important ministers, it is just the intertwining of interests, and they are thrown away as pawns whenever necessary.This is not like ten families with seven surnames.The reason why they have wealth and the imperial court dare not change it is precisely because they have a solid background.

Without themselves and Zhang Wangbei's operations, the two families will be targeted by a certain force one day sooner or later, and will eventually eat them up.

As a matter of fact, this time Wang Hua threatened the snake, the two families would become bereaved dogs, and no forces would come close to them. Just having money means more than half of it is over.

Now Wang Hua doesn't need the pitiful information in Zhang Wangbei's hands at all.

Zhang Wangbei felt a little guilty, looking at Wang Hua, his strong figure finally hunched over.

Wang Hua opened his mouth and said, "Anyway, I've heard some things. You avoided Wang Sheng's persecution several times back then, and you didn't assassinate me. I still want to thank you."

Zhang Wangbei didn't know how to answer.

"Zhang Wangbei, who chose this name?"

"It's my father."

"Wang Bei, good name, do you know the meaning of your father's name?"

"I know, he told me not to forget that I am a Han Chinese."

In fact, his blood is only half of the Han blood, because his mother is also the daughter of a local aboriginal tribal chief.But according to Wang Hua's information, this Zhang Wangbei has been taught by his father since he was a child, and he is very skilled. The main thing is that he lives in the tropical jungle all year round and is good at climbing high and low and lurking.This is why Wang Sheng asked him to assassinate himself.

Wang Hua said again: "It's good that you know it. No matter how the court is, you remember that you are a Han. I hope you will not be like this time in the future. In order to achieve the goal, you will not hesitate to hurt your compatriots. Ten days later, Yu Ling and others will be dispatched to Leizhou. I will tell the officials to treat them better on the way."

I didn't say anything else, in fact, as long as they are not executed, they will be taken care of on the way.After arriving in Leizhou, the strength in Zhang Wangbei's hands is not enough to accomplish major events, but it is not a problem to quietly pick up these people.

Zhang Wangbei knelt down and said, "Thank you, Bachelor."

Wang Hua said, "Go."

But Zhang Wangbei stood up, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket, and said, "Whether the bachelor needs it or not, I will still give it to you."

Wang Hua flipped through it, and this is the list he brought to himself.Wang Hua laughed and said, "Just put it on your body, so you won't be afraid that I will arrest you? Then you won't get anything?"

Zhang Wangbei bowed and said, "I believe you are not this kind of person. Anyway, thank you for your kindness, and I will try my best to repay your kindness in the future."

After finishing speaking, leave.

The corner of Wang Hua's mouth twitched, but she didn't stop her. She was just thinking about his great-grandfather.Although Zhang Wangbei did a lot of dishonorable things this time, his actions this time allowed Wang Hua to see some figures of his great-grandfather inside.It's a miracle.

Wang Hua also left the yamen. He found Li Chongjun, took out [-] coins from his pocket and handed them to him.

Li Chongjun said puzzledly, "Scholar Wang, what are you doing?"

"Prince, the matter of the flood is gradually coming to an end. Now the court has not called me back, for fear of causing gossip. But the time to call me back to Beijing will come soon. Therefore, I leave the money to you, and I hope you continue to use it On disaster relief."

During this period of time, Li Chongjun also opened up a lot, and now the court's actions made him understand his father's intentions.I just don't understand, he also has aides, it is impossible not to point out behind the scenes.

Take it solemnly.Up to now, he still doesn't know how much Wang Hua's family property is, but the amount of money he has spent during this period of time is probably not a small proportion for the Wang family.He said: "Scholar Wang, don't worry, Gu will use it in the most appropriate place."

Wang Hua smiled, but didn't speak.

Maybe what Li Chongjun is saying now is from the heart.But because of Li Chongjun's strength this time, many people saw some hope and turned to him.Wang Hua knew about it, but didn't say anything.There are not many talented people among these people.With that much money, a lot can be done.As long as a period of time passes, even if Li Chongjun wants to use the money for the victims, these subordinates will stop him and use it elsewhere.

But Wang Hua took Li Chongjun's hand and said, "Prince, I am assured of this. But I hope you will not make this matter public."

"why?"

"Just want peace of mind. If you deliberately publicize it, it's not good. Now my reputation is like the sky, when the water is full, it will be full, and the moon will be full. Therefore, I don't want it to spread."

"Xueshi Wang, I will remember your words," Li Chongjun was so touched that he didn't know what to say.You can't say that you will be reused for you if you stand alone in the world in the future.Now that he is the crown prince in name, he is not even as effective as Li Gu'er.This sentence cannot be said.

Wang Hua smiled and said, "Prince, let's do a good deed."

"What good thing?"

"I wonder if you would like to be a matchmaker for a couple of lovers?"

"You mean that Xia Kai and the young lady of the Ruan family?" Li Chongjun wasn't really stupid, so he immediately thought of who it was.

"Exactly."

The two came to Ruan's house happily.

The old man of the Ruan family happened to be at home, when he heard two people visiting, he immediately greeted him outside the door respectfully.

As soon as Wang Hua said what he wanted, the old man's face immediately showed displeasure.

Although his heart aches for his daughter, seeing that his daughter was not happy in the past, the father of the young lady of the Ruan family has acquiesced in this marriage, but in the Ruan family he cannot completely decide.The real master is still the old man in front of him.

The old man's face was gloomy, and he said after a while: "Scholar Wang, I know you are a good official. So I didn't pay attention to the fact that you asked my granddaughter to be a bait last time. But it's a matter of old age. Obedience."

What is the identity of the Ruan family? The first Wang in Bianzhou is a big family.What is Xia Guan's identity, a small craftsman.If you marry your granddaughter to such a family, will you still go out to meet people in the future?
Wang Hua whispered: "Old man, do you know why the Wang family had a grudge against me back then?"

I know, the main reason is that Wang Shu's brother misunderstood the relationship between Wang Han and Wang Hua.Now let Wang Han secretly accompany Wang Hua.This matter is treated as a joke in some big families.But Wang Hua is Wang Hua, and Xia Kai is Xia Kai. Apart from his skill in making utensils, Wang Hua also has martial arts and literary talents. What does Xia Kai have?
Wang Hua said again: "And I accepted him as my student."

The old man of the Ruan family was taken aback.

This was Wang Hua's impromptu idea, but if he had to choose, between Xia Kai and Huaziqiao, he would still choose Xia Kai.Although Xia Kai didn't read many books, but after spending a few days in Chenzhou, Wang Hua found that this young man was very clever.

Moreover, he was full of technical knowledge, because he was an official, so he couldn't concentrate on it, and he didn't want to bring it into the coffin after death.Therefore, I also hope to find a few apprentices to teach.

Now, in order to fulfill a pair of lovers, there are fewer people using this excuse to impeach.So I had an idea and said this sentence.

But these words carry a lot of weight.

Now Wang Hua's official position is not high, but he is the head of the most prominent family in Bianzhou, and he knows a lot of news.This was Wang Hua's deliberate reluctance to enter the officialdom, otherwise he would never have just hung a bachelor on his body.

With his training and recommendation, Xia Kai's future is conceivable.

Of course Xia Kai was several years older than Wang Hua so he ignored it.Learning is excellent and teaching is excellent. Wang Hua is Xia Kai's teacher, so it can only be said that Xia Kai is on top.

He finally pondered.

Wang Hua added: "And this is me and the crown prince working together to protect the matchmaker. Although Xia Kai's status is still a little low, it should be able to make this marriage a legend."

He said and looked at the expression of the old man.
