Chapter 1060
"Master Zhu, if you don't like my behavior, then consider it as my personal moral failing. That's just who I am."
"Apart from the implementation of the court's national policies, you don't have to cater to me in other matters. Just do what you should do."
"Also, let me remind you, if you really think what I did is wrong, take off your official uniform and go downstairs to see for yourself."
After saying that, Wei Wu did not stay any longer and directly took Master Zheng away from the prefectural yamen.
After returning to the inn, Wei Wu sat upright on the stone bench in the yard, looking at Master Zheng beside him without saying a word.
Just like that, after the two of them were silent for a while, Master Zheng lowered his head and slowly spoke:
"Master, I was wrong."
Wei Wu continued to look at Master Zheng expressionlessly until his face began to look a little flustered before he spoke:
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have acted on my own."
"This is the first time, but also the last time."
"Yes Yes!"
After hearing Wei Wu's words, Master Zheng's heart finally settled down, and the cold sweat on his back finally stopped.
In fact, Wei Wu didn’t care about what Master Zheng did. It was just a nice gift for the Zhang family!
Just give it to him. Can the Zhang family turn the world upside down?
What really concerned Wei Wu was that Master Zheng did not inform him in advance before coming up with this idea.
Wei Wu never minds that his subordinates can have their own ideas, but they must know who is the one making the decision.
Just now in the yamen, Master Zheng did not inform Wei Wu at all, and directly stopped the yamen runner to make arrangements.
Although Wei Wu knew his purpose at the first time, it was nothing more than to provoke these Jiangnan parasites.
But this was not a reason for Master Zheng to act presumptuously. What he should have done was to stop the yamen runner and ask Wei Wu for instructions.
Only after Wei Wu nodded in agreement could the next step of arrangement be made. This was called respect for hierarchy, and Master Zheng had clearly overstepped the mark just now.
If it was the same situation as when he was sent to Japan before, Wei Wu would not care, after all, a general is not subject to the orders of the king when he is away from home.
But now Wei Wu is right next to him, so he will take this opportunity to give him a warning to prevent him from getting too arrogant in the future.
As for Master Zheng, he was just as Wei Wu had thought. After making several suggestions and achieving meritorious service, he became a little arrogant.
But he did not do it on purpose, nor did he have any intention of rebelling against Tiangang. Perhaps he thought he was Wei Wu's own man.
Watching how Zhang Hai and Shen Lin get along with Wei Wu, he subconsciously developed the idea that he could do the same.
However, Master Zheng overlooked one point: Shen Lin and Zhang Hai had been following the equally obscure Wei Wu since they were in obscurity.
Wei Wu trusted them so much that he could safely entrust his life to them for protection and believed that they would not let him down.
This is also the reason why Wei Wu almost never blames Zhang Hai even though he is so annoying and reckless, and only pranks him occasionally.
What the boss values most is never ability or talent, but loyalty, but Master Zheng is obviously not qualified.
Fortunately, Master Zheng's case is not that serious. With a little warning, he will be able to figure it out quickly.
So after Master Zheng admitted his mistake, Wei Wu did not pursue the matter any further and just gave a simple instruction.
"Ma Baoguo should have deployed the Jinyiwei around here. You should coordinate with him."
"Also, talk to Zhou Li more and see if there's anything I've overlooked. If so, tell me."
Upon hearing this, Master Zheng quickly bowed and said:
"Yes, Master, I know what to do."
"Ok!"
Wei Wu nodded in response, then signaled to Master Zheng that he could leave, and he came to Shen Lin.
After two days of study, Shen Lin can be said to have gained a lot, and he seems to really have a talent in this area.
The course should take five hours to complete, but Shen Lin only needed two hours to finish it.
And it's not just about learning, you can even apply what you have learned to other situations, so it would be more appropriate to describe it as mastering.
Wei Wu was also amazed by this, but in the end he could only attribute this to extraordinary talent.
After all, some people are geniuses in certain areas. Others may not be able to get started even after years of study, but a genius can master it in just one month.
At the same time, while Wei Wu was watching Shen Lin study, the Zhang family welcomed two unexpected guests.
I have to say that Zhang Hai was really quick. He bought and packed the things and came to Zhang's house immediately.
Although Zhang Hai didn't know why the young master and Master Zheng asked him to do this, he just liked this way of causing trouble.
So, when it comes to gift-giving here, in addition to Master Zheng's request, he also added a little of his own creativity.
This time, he asked the shops to put a big "囍" character on all the gifts wrapped in red paper.
You should know that this gift contains a small bell and an umbrella. These things are wrapped in red paper and are considered a good omen.
One can imagine how strange the expression on the shop owner's face was when he sold these things to Zhang Hai.
The expression of the shop owner who was selling things at that time was the same as the expression of the Zhang family servant in front of Zhang Hai now.
Originally, the Zhang family servants only thought that Zhang Hai came to pay his respects. After all, it was Shen Lin who came, and they didn’t know Zhang Hai.
But it was not until Zhang Hai lifted the linen covering the cart and showed the gifts on the cart that the servants were all stunned.
Not only did they send red at the funeral, but they also made red paper flowers. The key point was that the big "囍" character looked so glaring.
When this happened, the Zhang family servants immediately knew that the visitor had bad intentions, so they quickly sent someone back to inform the master.
Not long afterward, Zhang Siming and other members of the Zhang family, as well as the wealthy businessmen and gentry who were discussing matters in the Zhang Mansion all came out.
They didn't even need the servants to remind them. As soon as they went out, they saw the gifts on the cart next to Zhang Hai, especially the eye-catching red paper and the word "囍".
"You bastard, this is outrageous! My Zhang family is handling a funeral, yet you're sending wedding gifts. What's your intention?!"
Zhang Hai chuckled and reached out to tear open the red paper wrapping of the gift, revealing four items inside: a clock, a plow, an umbrella, and shoes.
Then, in front of everyone, he said in a New Year's greeting tone:
"I'm delighted to hear that Mr. Zhang Dengyue, the head of the Zhang family, has ascended to the Western Paradise. I've come specially to offer you a gift as a token of my congratulations!"
