Chapter 107 Transaction
The next day, Yu Zheng packed up and prepared to leave the house, and Zhao Manying came.
"I heard that the prince went to Lingyin Temple yesterday, why didn't you ask Manying to accompany him?"
Zhao Manying looked aggrieved, because she was scolded by Zhao Renxian for this matter.
No matter what, she had to follow Yu Zheng today, otherwise Zhao Renxian would not let her go.
Glancing at Zhao Manying's shy and pretentious look, Yu Zheng frowned in disgust: "This prince doesn't like people to accompany him, Miss Zhao, don't worry about me." Zhao
Manying was stunned for a moment because she didn't expect Yu Zheng to be so straightforward.
Seeing Yu Zheng's impatience, Zhao Manying quickly said, "To be honest, Manying didn't want to pester the prince, but was forced to do so."
"This is Miss Zhao's business, and has nothing to do with the prince." Yu Zheng said and was about to leave.
Zhao Manying quickly said, "I want to make a deal with the prince."
"Oh?" Yu Zheng was slightly interested.
He wanted to hear what kind of deal she could make with him.
Seeing that she had successfully aroused Yu Zheng's interest, Zhao Manying glanced outside the house 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 solemnly, "Your Majesty is honest and upright, diligent in his work and loves the people, and he will definitely not tolerate corrupt officials."
Hearing the words "corrupt officials", Yu Zheng's dark eyebrows slightly raised.
"Go on."
The words have been spoken, and there is no turning back.
Zhao Manying mustered up her courage and said with a desperate determination, "I know the evidence of my uncle and the Jiangnan Tour of corruption and bribery. I want to use this to exchange something with the prince."
"What is it?" Yu Zheng asked.
Zhao Manying's eyes were bright, full of hope, and she said her request excitedly.
Yu Zheng did not hesitate after hearing it, and immediately agreed.
Zhao Manying said again: "Manying has another request."
"Can Manying follow the prince for a few days, otherwise my uncle will make things difficult for me. Besides, Manying following the prince can also make them relax their vigilance."
Yu Zheng thought it made sense, and Zhao Manying's request was not excessive, so he agreed.
"I will agree to your request, but what you say had better be true. Otherwise, I will tell your uncle that you betrayed him."
Hearing this, Zhao Manying shuddered.
Yu Zheng is really cruel.
If Zhao Renxian knew that she betrayed him, she would be tortured to death.
"Let's go, let's go to Lin'an Mansion." Yu Zheng walked out of the house in a hurry, and Zhao Manying followed closely.
The two of them left the house in a carriage, and someone immediately went to report to Zhao Renxian.
Zhao Renxian smiled obscenely after hearing this: "I told you, there is no man who is not lustful, let alone a beauty who comes to his door."
Zhao Manying is a typical Jiangnan beauty, gentle and elegant, charming and attractive, no man can resist.
If she was not his niece, it would be against human ethics, and Zhao Renxian would have enjoyed her himself long ago.
As for the old thing of Jiangnan Patrol, giving her to him would be a waste of talent and a loss.
Such an excellent chess piece, naturally, must be used to the greatest extent to 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.
Perhaps it won't be long before he can be promoted.
He had had enough of the position of prefect of Lin'an Prefecture and it was time for a change.
The spring was bright and beautiful, with grass growing and birds singing, perfect for an outing and sightseeing.
Yu Zheng and Zhao Manying went boating on the West Lake in the morning and went to South City for tea in the afternoon.
After returning to the mansion in the evening, Zhao Renxian questioned her in detail and Zhao Manying answered truthfully.
After learning that Yu Zheng actually liked to travel and that the two of them got along very well, Zhao Renxian felt relieved and asked Zhao Manying to accompany Yu Zheng on his outings and strive to become Yu Zheng's bedmate as soon as possible.
Zhao Manying agreed respectfully and left with lotus steps.
After she left, Zhao Renxian's confidant came into the room and asked, "Sir, do you still want to follow secretly?"
"Of course we have to follow. That's King Jing. If we make any mistakes, both you and I will die." Zhao Renxian's face was cold and cruel.
Yu Zheng was famous, so he dared not let his guard down.
In the next few days, Zhao Manying accompanied Yu Zheng to visit almost all of Lin'an Prefecture.
"My uncle is suspicious by nature and will not completely trust me. He will definitely send someone to follow secretly. We have to look for him quietly. Otherwise, once he notices something, he will move immediately."
Zhao Manying grew up with Zhao Renxian and knew Zhao Renxian's temper 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 secretly watch Zhao Renxian. As long as Zhao Renxian made any unusual movements, Yu Zheng would know immediately.
He was not afraid that he would move, but was afraid that he would not move.
Yu Zheng knew very well that Zhao Renxian had been in the officialdom for many years and would not easily reveal his flaws, so he could only be patient and search secretly.
Five days passed in a flash. In the evening of this day, when Yu Zheng and Zhao Manying were shopping in 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, and Yu Zheng and Zhao Manying followed closely behind.
The man sent by Zhao Renxian followed closely, and when they walked into a quiet alley, Zhu Feng descended from the sky and directly cut the man's neck with a tiger-head hook.
After dealing with the tail, Yu Zheng and his men turned around and headed north of the city.
As the sky darkened, Jiang Shu and Tan Yu walked on the way back to the inn, looking very happy.
"Boss, are we going back to Shangjing tomorrow?" Tan Yu asked excitedly.
Yesterday they found a silk manor, and the quality of silk goods was very good. Today Jiang Shu made an appointment with the owner of the silk manor to discuss, and the two of them successfully reached a cooperation.
The purpose of their coming here has been achieved, and they have been out for more than 20 days. It is indeed time to return to Shangjing.
Thinking of what Yu Zheng said to her that day, Jiang Shu felt that she should send a message to Yu Zheng before leaving.
"Master and Madam, please be kind and give me some money. I haven't eaten for three days..."
There were people coming and going on the street. Jiang Shu was not paying attention and was squeezed by someone. He accidentally stepped on the beggar's bowl on the roadside.
The bowl was broken and cracked. Jiang Shu stepped on it and it broke into several pieces.
The disheveled little beggar looked at the broken bowl and cried with heartache. He held Jiang Shu's feet and refused to let go.
"You compensate me for my bowl, compensate me for my bowl!"
"It's just a broken bowl, I'll compensate you. Let my master go first." Tan Yu took out his wallet and prepared to pay for the bowl.
The little beggar holding Jiang Shu saw it, suddenly stretched out his hand to snatch the wallet from Tan Yu's hand, and ran away.
"Hey, stop!" Tan Yu ran after him.
Jiang Shu had no choice but to chase after him.
The little beggar was not very old, about seven or eight years old, and his body was so thin that he seemed to fall down if the wind blew, but he ran faster than a rabbit.
"With this speed, who would believe him if he said he hadn't eaten for three days!" Tan Yu shouted while chasing him.
"Bad boy, give me back my purse, it contains earrings left for me by my mother."
If it was just some scattered silver and copper coins, it would be lost if it was lost, but the purse contained not only the relics left by Tan Yu's mother, but also several banknotes.
They chased the little beggar around, and finally stopped in a dead end.
The alley was cold and quiet, and looked a little scary.
"Boss, let's go and take a look first." The guard who followed said.
Jiang Shu nodded and let them go first.
The master and servant stood at the entrance of the alley waiting, and suddenly a strangely familiar voice sounded behind them.
"Miss Jiang? Why are you here?"
