Chapter 110: Chen Zhuo asks for help

"I don't know where we can help Brother Yuan Liang?" Zhang Jiu's lips overflowed with a smile. He really wanted to know what Chen Zhuo was asking for at this time, and what kind of mood Chen Zhuo was begging him for. of?The most important thing is how sure is Chen Zhuo that he will agree to his request?

Chen Zhuo didn't say his request right away, but said, "Brother Puhua and Brother Chen Hao must be very familiar with the current situation of my Chen family. With His Royal Highness being imprisoned and losing power, it can be said that my Chen family is struggling. , and the instigator of all this is considered by many to be His Highness the Third Highness, but it is also inseparable from His Highness the Second Highness."

He absolutely didn't believe that Qin Ce would really be as desireless as he showed, launching a circle of fighting for imperial power, although many people thought that Qin Ce had given up because of Qin Ce's marriage to Zhang Jiu. , but Chen Zhuo always believed that Qin Ce was still waiting for an opportunity to lead, Qin Ce was definitely not someone who gave up lightly, and his forbearance now was just to accumulate strength for the future.

And the fifth prince, Qin Shu, did not see this clearly, and believed Qin Ce's introduction after repeated temptations, and finally fell to this point. In this witchcraft incident, it was said that it was Qin Huan's fault. In fact, most of the credit for the scheme lies with Qin Ce, otherwise how could Qin Shu lose so completely.

People say that there will be no eggs under the collapse of the nest. As Qin Shu's faction, the Chen family is naturally in danger of being overthrown, but he can't just watch the Chen family collapse like this. Find a way out, but it's not easy, neither Qin Ce nor Qin Huan can take in the Chen family who used to be the enemy.

Chen Zhuo unconsciously thought of Zhang Jiu, and at this time he also came here with the intention of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Maybe the Chen family could no longer be tolerated in the court, and there was no place for them to stand.

But Zhang Jiu is different. Although Zhang Jiu married Qin Ce, he did not become an official in the court, but was still a businessman. After investigating Zhang Jiu, Chen Zhuo was more sure that Zhang Jiu could keep the confidence of the Chen family. And once Zhang Jiu stepped forward, Qin Ce would definitely let the Chen family have a way out, and Qin Huan, at that time, might be too busy to take care of himself, how could he bother to trouble the Chen family?

After hearing Chen Zhuo's words, Zhang Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Did he come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?Obviously not, so why did Chen Zhuo say these things? "Brother Yuan Liang, what do you mean by these words? Winners and losers are commonplace in military affairs. Since you chose to take this path at the beginning, you should be prepared to end up like this. What do you think of what you said now? significance?"

There was almost no pause, Zhang Jiu said again, "Besides, I have never asked about Hengzhi's affairs. What he is doing has nothing to do with me and will not ask for my opinion. I don't care much about the affairs of the court. , so it doesn’t make any sense for you to say these words to me.”

"Brother Puhua, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything when I say these things." Chen Zhuo's voice was very flat, "What you said is about the success of the king and the defeat of the bandits. It is true that the Fifth Highness has fallen into this situation, and my Chen family is even more so. You can't shift the responsibility to others, I said these are just a simple statement, and I still have something to ask Brother Puhua, so what complaints will there be?"

Zhang Jiu smiled and said, "You also said that Qin Shu's current fate is partly due to Hengzhi's credit. Your Chen family is also Hengzhi's opponent. Since I have married Hengzhi, your Chen family can also be considered My enemy, if I don't make it worse, I'm already doing my best, how can you be sure that I will help you?"

"Brother Puhua is right. As an enemy, you have done your best by not adding insult to injury. I'm not sure if you will help me. Now I am just begging you with my last hope. As for whether you will agree or not." , I'm not sure at all," Chen Zhuo said with a self-deprecating smile.

"I'm curious about what you want from me? Should I persuade Hengzhi to let Qin Shu go, or should I persuade Hengzhi to let your Chen family go?" Zhang Jiu said, but he would not agree to these two things. It is also impossible for Zhuo to know the answer and make fun of himself.

"Neither of them." Chen Zhuo shook his head. Even if he made such a request, Zhang Jiu would not agree to it. Why bother making fun of yourself?"

Zhang Jiu just said the most impossible possibility, and he also believed that Chen Zhuo would not be such an ignorant person, but apart from these two things, what else could he ask Chen Zhuo to ask for?Zhang Jiu really couldn't figure it out. "Then I don't know what Brother Yuan Liang said about asking for something?"

"Brother Puhua, I want you to take in the Chen family." Chen Zhuo said his request.

Taking in the Chen family?Zhang Jiu looked at Chen Zhuo with playful eyes, and with a little brainstorming, Zhang Jiu knew what Chen Zhuo was planning, but Zhang Jiu never thought that Chen Zhuo would take this step, that the Chen family, who had been honored for generations, would ask a merchant to take him in and speak out I'm afraid it will make many people feel unreal, not only that, but scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are always the bottom of this era. Will the Chen family really be willing to be reduced to this point?

"Brother Yuan Liang is joking, right? You think too highly of me. I'm just an ordinary businessman. How can I have such a great ability to take care of the Chen family? I'm afraid I will disappoint you, Brother Yuan Liang."

Chen Zhuo was not surprised by Zhang Jiu’s refusal. The Chen family is gone, even if there is another brother Puhua from the Chen family, you still have that ability."

"I never knew Brother Yuan Liang had such confidence in me," Zhang Jiu chuckled.

"That's because Brother Puhua does have this ability." Leaving aside Zhang Jiu's Zhang family, because of his relationship with Qin Ce, it is possible to keep the Chen family. Zhang Jiu's pampering is boundless. If Zhang Jiu agrees to most of his request, it means that Qin Ce agrees, and then the Chen family can rest easy.

Should he thank Chen Zhuo for his confidence?Zhang Jiu raised his lips slightly, "Brother Yuan Liang really thinks too highly of me, my Zhang family's temple is too small to accommodate your Chen family's big Buddha."

"Big Buddha?" Regarding Zhang Jiu's analogy, Chen Zhuo showed a little sarcasm, "My Chen family is just a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats. The word "Big Buddha" can't be regarded as a big Buddha. Brother Puhua, stop joking. We are now All I want is a shelter, nothing else, I dare not ask for more.”

It seems that after this period of time, Chen Zhuo is about to be tempered into steel. Even his self-mockery is so flat, without the arrogance he had when he first met.

But now Chen Zhuo, Jiang Ning looks more pleasing to the eye, Chen Zhuo's ability to resist blows has been enhanced, does that mean that he can have more fun in the future?

Thinking of this, a playful smile flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes, and he kept silent all the time and said, "Brother Yuan Liang, people often say that business is about business, so I kindly remind you that Lord Jiu is a businessman. To impress you, it’s best not to talk about these things, it’s the most sensible way to convince Master Jiu with benefits.”

Zhang Jiu and Chen Zhuo looked at Jiang Ning at the same time, the former had a questioning look, and the latter had a look of sudden awakening.

Facing Zhang Jiu's question, Jiang Ning said, "Master Jiu, am I right? We are businessmen, so we naturally want to maximize our interests. There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. If Brother Yuan Liang's benefits are enough, Big, why do we still want to refuse?"

Zhang Jiu looked at Jiang Ning speechlessly. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed that Jiang Ning wanted to help Chen Zhuo. Although he didn't know what Jiang Ning's purpose was, as a brother, he would properly achieve his purpose.

But it's one thing to receive Jiang Ning's signal, and another thing to say, "Xiao Ning, what you said made me feel a great sense of crisis, is it because you may be at any time for the sake of benefit?" abandon me?"

"Absolutely not." Jiang Ning immediately stated that if he abandoned Zhang Jiu, then he must be the one who was injured in the end. He would not do such an incident that he knew the outcome of. "And didn't you say this sentence? I just repeated it"

"But I said so many things, why do you just remember this one sentence?" Zhang Jiu remembered that he said a lot about loving each other.

That's because at this moment he thinks this sentence is the most suitable for the situation, Jiang Ning thought silently, "Master Jiu, I will remember every word you said in my heart, and I will never forget it."

"So when we go back later, don't forget that I told you to check the ledger as soon as possible." Zhang Jiu nodded in satisfaction.

"..." Is this intentionally waiting for him here?
