Chapter 287 Is Cheng Ling an honest man?
The news that Ambassador Wei Guo was assassinated in Chendu spread widely within a day.
Not to mention how the torrent was surging up and down in Chendu, only that Emperor Chen was in the palace, and "missed" and killed several palace people.
After the news came out, I don't know how many sighs it attracted. But no one dared to persuade Emperor Chen anymore. Those who advised him before were either killed by Emperor Chen or relegated by him.
Up to now, the existence of royalists in the court is almost non-existent.
Cheng Ling felt that Chen Guo's court was really weirdly deformed, and Chen Di, who clearly controlled a top assassin organization like Jueyingmen behind his back, only used his strength to the outside, and did not use it to clean up his own house. Chaotang is really incomprehensible.
Although assassination is definitely not the right way, since Emperor Chen is not willing to be a puppet, why doesn't he just get rid of those who made him a puppet?
For example, the Patriarch of the Zhang Family, that Da Sima?
Three days later, Cheng Ling's doubt was answered.
Chen Guoda Sima Zhang Tong was assassinated again in his mansion, and this time it was his concubine who had been doting on him for three years!
At night, Zhang Tong was having fun with his concubine on the couch. At a critical moment, the concubine pulled out her hairpin and assassinated Zhang Tong, leaving a long bloodstain on Zhang Tong's face and neck.
This time the assassination naturally ended in failure, but Zhang Tong was also ashamed.
The most embarrassing thing is that this kind of news has spread outside!
On the other side of the hotel, Yang Lin brought back those who inquired about the news, and imitated the gossip tone of the idler in the market: "Now it's spread all over the streets and alleys. If you go out and listen casually, there will be a love-hate relationship between Da Sima and that beauty." Love and hatred... at least fifty or sixty theories."
Fifty or sixty statements are exaggerated, but five or six statements are true.
The idlers have no idea what to say, how can they be rude and exaggerated: "It is said that Da Sima is very vigilant, even if he sleeps with a concubine in his own yard at night, he still has to ask the guards to guard him tightly outside."
"What? Da Sima actually likes to make people listen to his corner?"
"..."
It's hard to say whether that's really the case, but this incident really opened Cheng Ling's eyes.
In Chen Guo, it can be said that there is no most absurd, only more absurd, you will never know where the lower limit of these people is.
The news of Zhang Tong's assassination covered up the news of Cheng Ling's assassination.
The assassination of Ambassador Wei Guo is certainly a major event, but how can such a serious assassination event compare to the explosiveness of Da Sima's corner?
Cheng Ling guessed that Chen Di's handwriting was probably indispensable behind this.
Emperor Chen's methods... are really beyond words. It can only be said that a good monarch has all his skill points crooked. No wonder he was dubbed a faint king and a tyrant.
Chen Guo's life was miserable, and all kinds of chaos intertwined in Chendu, but it also happened to give the Wei Guo Mission a chance to seek stability in the chaos.
Since then, the Wei State mission has been firmly stationed in Chen State.
The assassination incident did not continue, and Emperor Chen was fierce and cowardly, which made Cheng Ling somewhat relieved.
Of course, she did not relax her vigilance, but in such a chaotic situation, she strengthened the protection of herself and the entire mission.
At the same time, the Wei State Mission started the second round of "making troubles" in Chendu.
Cheng Ling's task here is mainly to be in charge of connecting with the Zhang family.
Since Zhang Jingxian presented the Bishuilianhua glazed cup to Zhang Tong, he has tasted the benefits of this glazed glass. Since then, he has especially wanted to get more exquisite glazed products.
So, where does the most beautiful glass come from?
Naturally, there is no doubt that this will eventually fall to the Wei State Mission.
So Zhang Jingxian and Cheng Ling got closer and closer in private.
Even though Cheng Ling used to threaten and lure Zhang Jingxian, Zhang Jingxian didn't hate Cheng Ling. On the contrary, Cheng Ling was the only one who could be seen by Zhang Jingxian in the entire Wei State Mission.
He Yanqing is half of them, and Zhang Jingxian doesn't bother to associate with the rest.
Especially recently, the books written by Cheng Ling in Wei Guo have somehow started to spread to Chen Guo. Zhang Jingxian has read "Nong Sang Shi Ji" and admires Cheng Ling even more.
One time, he came to Cheng Ling with a copy of "Nongsang Shiji" published by Wei Guoban, and asked her about the loom.
Cheng Ling also answered every question, not only explaining the beauty of this loom to him, but also telling him: "Chen country's climate may not be suitable for growing cotton, but the jacquard loom for cotton cloth can also be used by changing a few dimensions. to the weaving of silk."
Zhang Jingxian listened carefully, and at the same time kept asking questions, getting deeper and deeper. After such questions and answers, Cheng Ling was fine, but Zhang Jingxian himself was dumbfounded.
He used to comment on Cheng Ling as cunning as a fox and fierce as a wolf, but now Cheng Ling is in front of him, why... looks like a saint?
Zhang Jingxian couldn't understand, but this did not prevent him from secretly respecting Cheng Ling.
After such a process, Zhang Jingxian felt much more at ease when talking to Cheng Ling.
He began to ask Cheng Ling about the manufacturing technology of colored glaze.
That's right, this is Zhang Jingxian's biggest purpose in trying to establish a personal relationship with Cheng Ling in the first place.
Glass is not a natural treasure, but artificially fired. It is only because the technical difficulty of firing is too high, the output is very small, and there are fewer high-quality top-notch products, which makes them extremely rare and precious.
Zhang Jingxian has a lot of ambition, he thought: If he can get Wei Guo's colored glaze technology, how much profit can he get?
Huge benefits drove Zhang Jingxian to repeat the routine to Cheng Ling several times, until Cheng Ling said vaguely: "Actually, the biggest difficulty of Liuli lies in its clearness, and there is a formula for this clearness..."
What is the formula?
Zhang Jingxian's heart beat faster because of this, and he immediately asked questions.
This time, Cheng Ling was not as straightforward as when he mentioned the loom earlier.
She first stated that this is a national treasure of the State of Wei, and it was impossible for her to sell it privately, and then vaguely revealed that "if it is really going to be sold, it may not be impossible".
So can it be sold or not?
That's it, regardless of whether Cheng Ling's statement is contradictory or not, as long as there is a slight possibility on her side, Zhang Jingxian will inevitably rush forward crazily.
If he doesn't pounce, there will naturally be people who will pounce.
In short, from here on, Zhang Jingxian is really hooked.
Cheng Ling started to buy the first batch of large quantities of grain through Zhang Jingxian, and transported it from the border of Chen State to the South Expedition Army through Dafeng River.
As for things like buying and selling materials, basically if there is one, there must be two, and if there are two, there will inevitably be three. Again and again, again and again, three and four... Once Zhang Jingxian got on the boat, he couldn't get off!
What Zhang Jingxian didn't know was that in Chendu, he was not the only one of the rich and powerful family members who was confused by the glaze formula.
But three or four, five or six, seven or eight...
In the chaotic situation, there is always a line of southward march, which is pulling forward and never retreating.
