In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, when it was in the period of party strife, the son of Fang Zhengan's uncle, the Ming Shangbao Bureau, was involved in a homicide case, so he was impeached and removed from office by the Imperial History of the Patrol City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis son's official position was obtained by virtue of the merits of the previous generation, so his uncle wanted to take the blame and resign, but the Wanli Emperor did not allow it, and ordered him to continue to stay in office, but this incident damaged his uncle's image, and his prestige was greatly reduced, and the prestige of the cabinet reached its peak in the 43rd year of Wanli relief of the Great Famine in Shandong, and began to decline that year.

Although his uncle was reluctant to remain neutral, the changing situation soon made him find himself in a whirlpool of partisanship. In order to allow him to have a peaceful environment for learning literature and martial arts, and in order to live up to the entrustment of his father who died early, his uncle decided to send him out of the capital to his old friend in Dengzhou, Shandong, where he and Cheng Yayan met unexpectedly.

Fang Zhengan said: "That was almost ten years ago. Now my uncle has resigned, lives at home, and returns to his hometown of Deqing County, Zhejiang. Yayan's father received a message from his uncle, and after learning of your news, the two of us agreed to go to Beijing to rescue each other. As he spoke, he took out the flying pigeon biography and handed it to Li Jin for viewing.

Li Jin looked at it, nodded, his hands trembled slightly, his chest couldn't help rising and falling, and he said in a trembling voice: "Li is really overjoyed, I ...... I...... It's not going to work. In the mezzanine of my granddaughter Fei Fei's clothes, there is a secret letter sewn, which is a clue I have found in the military department over the years. This letter is hidden on Fei Fei, even if Dongchang kills me, I can't find the secret letter, even if they don't even let Fei Fei go, they may not find out about this secret letter, they only know that I am investigating, but they don't know that I have already written it down. I thought that these clues would be lost in the sea, but fortunately the two rescued me, and I must submit this secret letter to General Sun Chengzong, who is outside the Guan. ”

Fang Zheng'an responded: "Master Li has an order, and the younger generation should obey it!" Li Jin was short of breath and gasped: "There is one more thing, please ...... in the future Take care of Fifi more. While they were talking, Cheng Yayan had already taken Fei Fei out of the bamboo basket. Grandfather! Fei Fei cried and ran over.

Li Jin said to her in a calm tone: "Feifei, don't cry!" Cheng Yayan responded: "Lord Li, please rest assured! Li Jin said intermittently: "More...... Many...... ...... more" The word "thanks" was never spoken, and he closed his eyes and passed away.

Fei Fei knelt down and cried in a low voice, Cheng Yayan also knelt down, and said to Fei Fei: "Say goodbye to grandpa." Fei Fei sobbed, "Goodbye, grandpa." Cheng Yayan took the crying Fei Fei into her arms.

Fang Zhengan said: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, you take Fei Fei away first, and I will go to lure away the chasing soldiers of Dongchang." We meet in the town of Moon Springs. If you go to Wufu Inn first, it is limited to three days, and if I don't come after three days, you can find a way to get out of the customs by yourself, don't wait for me any longer. Cheng Yayan said: "Then you should be more careful." Fang Zhengan said: "Your cousin's martial arts are not worse than yours, right?" ”

Cheng Yayan said: "What tricks does Dongchang not use? Don't be careless. Fang Zhengan said that, just to reassure his sister, in fact, he has always been a serious person, so he said: "When did your brother ever be a hanger?" I'll be careful. Take care of yourself, too. Cheng Yayan nodded, hugged Fei Fei into the bamboo basket, and rode away. Fang Zhengan buried Li Jin outside the temple, and soon heard the sound of horses' hooves coming towards this side in the distance, he immediately turned over and got on his horse, and also went in the direction of Yuequan Town.

Beijing, Dongchang, the office of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

A game of Go was smashed and splashed all over the ground. "Is it a man or a woman?" Wei Zhongxian asked angrily, he sat on the Taishi chair, and there were four people kneeling in front of him, and the four stalls of the East Factory.

Xu Xianchun replied: "There are two people, a man and a woman, covered with bamboo hats, and the woman is dressed as a man. ”

"Age." Wei Zhongxian asked again.

Lu Chao replied: "It's not big, the man is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and the woman is in her early twenties." ”

"Martial arts." Wei Zhongxian asked again.

Lu Chao replied: "All of them use swords." One moves gently and erratically, the other shoots fiercely and sharply, and his attainments are not shallow, it seems... Neither is your average strong player. ”

Wei Zhongxian got up, slowly walked to Lu Chao's side, and scolded: "If it's an ordinary strong hand, you can still snatch people from the two of you!" Walk! Finish?! The three words "snatched", word by word, roared at the root of Lu Chao's ear.

"Yes, yes." As soon as the words fell, someone answered, Lu Chao didn't dare to speak, he broke out in a cold sweat, but Huang Kun was so frightened that he replied yes. Wei Zhongxian blew on his fingers, raised his eyelids, looked at Huang Kun, and said, "Did I ask you?" What are you doing in a hurry? Huang Kun didn't dare to go back, so he only buried his head and listened to the scolding. Huang Kun, it seems that something has a big problem with your intelligence system, right? Yes!? Huang Kun suddenly heard Wei Zhongxian call himself again, and raised his head suddenly, but when he heard such a serious question, he was so frightened that he buried his head again.

Wei Zhongxian said in a fierce voice: "Didn't you report so surely, saying that there is no one else in the Li Jin family except for him and his granddaughter?" Where did these two people come from now? Say! The last word "say" has a tough and fiery tone, and it is full of deterrence.

Of course, Huang Kun didn't know the origin of these two people, so he couldn't answer, so he only trembled and replied hesitantly: "Dugong, Huang ...... Kun, Huang Kun...... Huang Kun was overlooked for a while. Excuse me...... Please condemn the Governor. ”

Wei Zhongxian listened and ignored it. Huang Kun knew that this arrest failed, and the intelligence link under his jurisdiction was the most responsible, so Wei Zhongxian scolded Lu Chao just now, but he was so frightened that he agreed as if reflexively.

But I heard Xu Xianchun say: "Back to the governor, Li Jin's only son was a general under Sun Chengzong, and he was killed in battle in Liaodong a few years ago. From the perspective of his subordinates, these two people are definitely not from the Li family. ”

Wei Zhongxian asked, "How can you see it?" Xu Xianchun said: "The subordinates have fought with that woman, and in the opinion of the subordinates, this person's martial arts are very similar to the Cheng family's swordsmanship." Wei Zhongxian doubted: "Could it be the apprentice of Cheng Dai in Dengzhou, Shandong?" ”

Xu Xianchun said: "I heard that Cheng Dai was a secretary of the military department in his early years, and he was good at martial arts, especially known for his own set of swordsmanship, known as Cheng Family Swordsmanship. Later, he and his wife returned to Dengzhou, and they had a daughter, most likely the woman who robbed the prisoner today. ”

Wei Zhongxian listened while pondering, and heard Lu Chao say: "Governor, Cheng Dai and the first auxiliary minister Fang Congzhe are world friends, and they have always been very close, and Cheng Dai is married to Fang Congzhe's own sister. ”

"That's right! Right! Huang Kun finally found an opportunity to interject and make up for the mistakes of his intelligence system, so as to extinguish Wei Zhongxian's anger, and hurriedly said: "Governor Qiqi, although Fang Congzhe was implicated in his son's affairs back then, he still has a powerful nephew named ...... It's called Fang Zheng'an. At the age of eighteen, this person passed the township examination and passed the lift, and his subordinates had seen this person's name on the list that year. It is said that Fang Congzhe is ready to let Fang Zhengan continue to take the examination and the palace examination, so that he can become one of the first assistant cabinet ministers in the future and help himself. never thought that the backyard of Fang's house caught fire, and Fang Congzhe's son was involved in the prostitute falling from a horse and dying when he was a prostitute. At that time, it was rumored that the prostitute had been beaten to death by him, so there was a lot of discussion. His son obtained the official position of Shangbao Jucheng by virtue of his meritorious service in the previous generation, but he was involved in a murder case, so he was impeached and removed from office by the imperial history of the city patrol at that time. Fang Congzhe, as the first auxiliary minister, was in a high position, and this matter was rumored in the capital at that time, so that his image was damaged and his prestige was greatly reduced. Since then, there has been no news from Fang Zhengan. Fang Congzhe probably sent his nephew out of the capital that year and went to Cheng's house in Dengzhou, Shandong. His son was addicted to sensuality and died young, and he was very important to his nephew Fang Zhengan. ”

Wei Zhongxian listened to the words of a few people, and he already had some eyebrows, and he flicked the sleeves of his wide robe vigorously, and the wind he exhaled frightened them again, thinking that they would be scolded, but Wei Zhongxian said: "Get up." ”

Zhao Xiaoxing, who had not spoken, stepped out of the queue and arched his hand to Wei Zhongxian and said, "The governor is angry." Although Li Jin was not caught this time, he was poisoned by an arrow and would definitely die. ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "I almost forgot, we still have you as a master of drug production in the East Factory." Zhao Xiaoxing replied: "Thank you for your appreciation." I was secretly happy in my heart, and there seemed to be a strange smile in my eyes.

Speaking of Sun Chengzong, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but remember that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had warned him: "If something happens to my teacher, you will be punished." "Sun Chengzong was once the emperor's teacher, and he was very favored by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian knew that although the Emperor of the Apocalypse trusted him, he also cared about Sun Chengzong, which is why he never dared to clash with him head-on.

Wei Zhongxian said to his four subordinates: "Sun Chengzong is not simple, he served as Liaodong Jingluo for a few years, defeated the Jianzhou Tartars, repeatedly performed miraculous achievements, and made a lot of great contributions, which was very important to the emperor. Two years ago, due to a small defeat in Liuhe, he was pulled off the horse by us and went home to retire. I never thought that last year, the Northwest Mongolia and Tatar troops were urgent, and the war broke out suddenly, and he had to be reactivated by the emperor, and now he is sitting in the northwest and guarding Ningxia Pass. Judging by the situation, this is only temporary, and it is not impossible for the emperor to transfer him back to Liaodong in the future. Old man Sun has won the emperor's favor, and we will have to work hard to deal with him this time, and we must act carefully. Fang Congzhe and Cheng Dai are both old husbands in the wilderness, and they are retired to the countryside and do not cultivate themselves, but prefer to participate in the affairs of the imperial court. Fang Congzhe has a nephew, Cheng Dai has a descendant with great swordsmanship, plus Sun Chengzong's army outside the Saiwai,"

Speaking of this, he snorted, "It turns out that they have been planning for a long time, and the deployment is severe." I almost thought we were winning, but I didn't expect the show to have just begun. Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, good!" Good! Interesting! We'll see. Then he ordered the four people: "Those two must have fled to Ningxia Pass today and defected to Sun Chengzong." You will continue to chase me, you can't relax, just force them into trouble along the way, don't force them to a dead end, keep the tiger, and wait for the future to go deep into the tiger's den, lead out Sun Chengzong, and take this opportunity to wipe out the clear stream. Hahahaha! He immediately ordered Lu Chao to lead a large group of men and horses to pursue Fang Zhengan to the Ningxia border pass.

~~~ A spoiler, the plot here is by no means so simple, not that Dongchang actually has another person and another plot.
