On the second day after Xia Xun returned to Pengjiazhuang, he and his wife Peng Ziqi held a solemn memorial ceremony again, this time only the relatives within the Peng family intervened, Rao is so, because the pomp is very huge, and many villagers and even the suburbs of the city have also seen it with their own eyes.

Three days later, Xia Xun went to the filial piety belt, and then brought another generous gift and rushed to the palace of the king of Qi to meet the king of Qi.

King Qi has been looking forward to it in the palace for a long time, it stands to reason that no matter how big the official is, it is the etiquette of the monarch and the minister to see the prince, and when he arrives in his vassal state in Qingzhou Mansion, he has to meet him, but Xia Xun, the minister, is really more important than him in the court, and people are coming back to mourn their ancestors this time, if they don't come to see him, it is reasonable.

The king of Qi, who has always been arrogant, was worried because of this, fortunately, Xia Xun has always been very polite to him, King Qi was happy, and held a feast in the palace to entertain the prince, and the two chatted happily for a long time, and enjoyed the palace song and dance. Xia Xun gave him enough face, coaxed King Qi to smile, and it was almost late that Xia Xun said goodbye and left, and King Qi kept sending him out of the palace gate, and stopped in front of the wall.

Xia Xun was about to board the car, when a close guard approached and whispered: "Report to the Duke of the Kingdom, I have found out the whereabouts of Gao Xiang and Zhong Canghai, these two people can't stay in Qingzhou City, and they have already retreated to Zihedian with their subordinates." ”

Xia Xun said calmly: "The people who withdraw the surveillance, don't pay attention to them anymore!" ”

Xia Xun boarded the car, sat down steadily, and the carriage and horse honor guard was activated.

Xia Xun has been preparing for the sacrificial ceremony in the past few days, and has carried out another big cleaning of Pengjiazhuang, the owner of Pengjiazhuang is not lying, and Pengjiazhuang does not have any forbidden tools. Xia Xun was the master again, and asked the Peng family to fill in all the secret passages behind the village and block them, and now Pengjiazhuang, even if they ask people to dig three feet into the ground, they can't find anything unusual.

Under the persuasion of Xia Xun and Peng Ziqi, Peng Zhuang's main business also decided to cancel the connection with Huaixi General Altar, and he promised such a happy thing, not because of this crisis, but because of Xia Xun's uncle's identity as a grandfather and such a big family business purchased by the Peng family. Who wants to risk being detained a rebel hat and continue to engage in that life of licking blood from the knife?

My uncle is right, with the Peng family's big family business now, as long as the children and grandchildren are angry, when will there be no food? If the children and grandchildren are not angry, even if the Huaixi Sect is left to them, in addition to causing them to be wiped out, is there any benefit? In view of this, the owner of Peng Zhuang resolutely decided to completely cut off the connection with the Huaixi Sect, and from then on, there was no such name as the Peng family in the White Lotus Sect.

However, although the master of Peng Zhuang is the head of the current generation of the Peng family, some elders of his father's generation still want to owe Heng a little about this, the White Lotus Sect Ming Sect, South Peng and North Korea, the two major sect leaders! The ancestral foundation was abandoned in vain? However, most of the Peng family supports the decision of the Peng Zhuang owner, and continuing to connect this identity is indeed not a good thing for the Peng family.

Thinking that in the past, Monk Peng started an incident in Huaixi, deliberately set up another mountain gate in Qingzhou, Shandong, and sent his cronies and nephews to Shandong to grow up. But now the identity of the Peng family in Qingzhou is no longer so secret, and it has even attracted the attention of the secret agents of the imperial court.

In view of this, those Peng family members who refused to abandon their identity as the White Lotus Sect were voluntarily "exiled" by the owner of Peng Zhuang.

Counting the bills, they set up their own doors.

The Peng family was separated, and these Peng families completely broke up from the Peng family, carrying their share of the family property to set up their own business, on the condition that they must leave the Ming Dynasty and go overseas to grow on their own. In the past two years, although the Peng family's overseas business was mainly trade with Japan and North Korea, places such as Luzon and the Great and Small Ryukyus were also connected.

These Peng family members planned to go to Xiaoliuqiu, which was later Taiwan, where there were already many mainland immigrants, and in the previous maritime trade, they also got acquainted with the chiefs of the "Taiwowan" tribe, a larger indigenous tribe in Xiaoliuqiu, which was more conducive to them growing up there and establishing a sect.

Xia Xun was noncommittal about this, since they had broken up with the Peng family, and even the genealogy had completely cut off the records of them, and from then on they would have the same surname and not the same clan, and the Ming Dynasty had no official rule over Xiaoliuqiu, so let them go there and fend for themselves. Maybe unintentionally inserting willows is not necessarily a bad thing for the Han people.

Because Pengjiazhuang's side has been delivered clearly, the only cover door is only the Putai Lin family, and the Putai Lin family is not something that Xia Xun can control, so although Xia Xun is in Qingzhou, he has already focused on Putai. Xia Xun is in Qingzhou, Ji Gang is in Jinling, and the purpose of both sides is in the Peng family in Qingzhou, but with the Putai Lin family as a breakthrough, a remote control battle began!

The legs and feet of the contempt Shifang are not yet good, and the official is angry and personally supervises the board, and his subordinates really dare not follow the selfish at all, and they fight solidly. He pressed his crotch with one hand, and was looking for someone on the street with his eyebrows crossed, when he suddenly saw the long-waiting guard of honor of the national prince coming towards him, and hurriedly greeted him.

As soon as he explained his identity, Lao Peng did not make any claims, but asked Xia Xun for instructions, and the car stopped. Xia Xun lifted the sedan curtain, looked out of the car, and couldn't care about the pain in his buttocks, under the amazed gaze of several of his subordinates, Mr. Contempt flew to Xia Xun's car as light as a swallow, knelt down in the flowing water pool, and said in a clear voice: "The general patrol of Qingzhou is contemptuous of ten directions, and I have seen the grandfather of the country!" ”

"Oh, contempt for the head, hehe, the Duke of China remembers you, in the past, the Duke of China recruited a thief and killed my servant Zhang Shisan, and you were the first to rush to the Duke of the Mansion to inspect the scene of the two inspections, right?"

Contempt Shifang was surprised and delighted, and said flatteredly: "Grandpa Guo has a good memory, and he even remembers the name of the humble position!" ”

Xia Xun smiled: "Your name, if people have heard a word, how can it be so easy to forget?" Oh, is Zhao Ximo and Zhao Tuiguan still an official in Qingzhou Mansion now? ”

Shi Fang hurriedly said: "If you return to the country, Lord Zhao has now been promoted, and now Jinan is appointed as a patrol inspector according to the inspection department." ”

Xia Xun said softly: "The deputy fifth-grade official has really been promoted." You are not bad, in the past, it was just a patrol, but now you have become the chief arrester of Qingzhou. ”

Contempt Shifang grinned, and said in his heart: "In the past, you were still a Qingzhou talent, but now I see that you have to kneel and talk, why don't you say it?" ”

Xia Xun paused and said, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Contempt?" ”

Only then did Shifang get to the point: "Grandpa Guo, Pengjiazhuang was robbed in front of him, and he failed to fulfill his responsibilities in his humble position. The lowly post came to ask the Guogong for the guilt, and to the Guogong to take care of it, and then he must work more diligently, strictly arrest all the small things in Qingzhou Mansion, and never let people disturb Pengjiazhuang again. ”

Xia Xun said in his heart: "Jinyi Wei doesn't dare to show their identities here, the inspection and arrest on these places will be very useful, and with their careful protection, Pengjiazhuang will be able to save a lot of trouble." ”

Thinking of this, Xia Xun smiled, praised him a few words, and made the contempt of the total catcher so beautiful that he was fluttering, Xia Xun changed his words, and said: "You are the chief catcher, and you also have the right to investigate the places near the left, like Zihedian and Yaoshan, these places near the left should also be cleaned up, otherwise some bulls and horses will still have trouble!" ”

After listening to Grandpa Guo's instructions, such as Feng Lunyin, Shifang immediately patted his chest and assured Xia Xun. As soon as Xia Xun left on his front feet, there was no bad luck in Qingzhou City, and the contempt was like beating chicken blood, and he led a large team of people to run to Zihedian and Yaoshan to catch bull heads and horses.

When Xia Xun returned to Pengjiazhuang, Xu Jiang had just returned from Putai County.

Xia Xun immediately brought him into the study, and Xu Jiangyu reported: "The Lin family has been warned by Peng Gongzi and has begun to secretly destroy all suspicious evidence!" However, the humble always felt that Jinyiwei was not as afraid as he was in Qingzhou on the Potai side, and if they were really asked to grasp the sore spot, Yu Guogong would be very unlucky. ”

Xia Xun glanced at him and asked, "What is your good plan?" ”

Xu Jiang said: "The amount is small, not a gentleman, no poison, no husband!" It's better to start first and never suffer later! ”

How could Xia Xun not have such thoughts in his heart? From the time when Tang Yao rebelled in the past, he knew Lin Yuqi's general identity, just thinking about a little incense in the past, hoping that they could be safe, he also knew that if it was peaceful and calm today, that group of people would not have a chance to get into trouble, so he let him go, but who would have thought that their identities would actually threaten their survival.

Lin Yuqi's group is actually not doing a serious thing, and unlike the Peng family, they have such a close relationship with themselves, there is not much psychological barrier in his heart, especially what worries him is that the Lin family is now very clear about the identity of the Peng family, and knows that the backer behind the Peng family is himself, they may not pull up the banner again because of this, and bewitch the people of the township to rebel with them, but as long as they are unscrupulous, it is inevitable to do evil.

Xia Xun thought for a long time, wiped his eyelids downward, and said in a deep voice: "Right now, the enemy is currently in the same boat; Observe their words, watch their deeds, if they don't know what to do..."

Xu Jiang nodded his head and happily responded: "I understand my humble duties!" ”

Seeing that Xia Xun had nothing else to say, Xu Jiang said: "Guogong should rest early in the morning, and go down and place it!" ”

"Wait!"

Xia Xun suddenly called him, stared at him deeply, and asked, "What kind of trick did you design for that little girl to play, you already had such an idea, right?" Completely asided, ready with both hands? ”

Xu Jiang smiled and said abruptly: "Guogong...... Eyes are like torches......"

Xia Xun said lightly: "The gatekeeper at the head of Daning City that day can now block the hero!" ”

Xu Jiang rubbed his hands a little uneasily and said, "Guogong, it's not that you are humble and ruthless, this matter is ...... Thousands of lives! There are thousands of people in the Guogong Mansion, the Pengjiazhuang family, and our entire Qianlong family, and now more than 1,000 families under more than 1,000 people, all of whom rely on Guogong to survive alone, and you must not lose a big one because of a small loss! The Lin family is not a good way in the first place, he wants to harm himself, we can ignore it, but they are going to endanger our survival......"

Xu Jiang sighed and said: "For the Peng family, whether it is morally or from the perspective of family affection, we must not stand by and lose our arms, but the Lin family doesn't need to have so many scruples." This battle seems to have no sword and sword, but once it fails, thousands of heads fall to the ground, and countless families are ruined. Especially...... If Ji Gang even knocks down the Guogong, looking at the government and the opposition, there will be no one to contend with, and at that time, how many people will he harm? Public and private ......"

When Xu Jiang said this, he secretly glanced at him again, and plucked up the courage to say: "Grandpa Guo, you should be inexhaustible, but suffer from it!" ”

As he spoke, he took two steps back, and "Portom" knelt down in front of him.

Xia Xun was silent for a long time, and said softly: "You go and do it!" ”

Xu Jiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Obey orders!" Grandpa Guo is at ease, and he must be cautious in his humble duties, neither hurting people's pains, nor hurting the innocent! ”

Xue Lu returned to his hometown in Jiaoxian, such a big official came back from Beijing, seven aunts and eight aunts, and so many relatives had to see him, but he was really tired enough. After these things were done, I began to busy my father's birthday banquet.

Xue Lu has been cunning and dismantling the stage since he was a child, and he often asked his father to worry about him, and later became a soldier, which made Lao Tzu worry about him all day long, and he has always felt guilty about his father Xue Lu. After he did the affairs of the governor of the five armies, he also wanted to buy a house in Jinling and take his father over to fulfill his filial piety, but the old man was used to living in his hometown in Shandong, and it was difficult to leave his homeland, so Xue Lu had to rebuild a house for his father in his hometown.

This time, his old father had a full 60th birthday, and Xue Lu attached great importance to it, and asked Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, for leave to return to his hometown more than a month in advance to celebrate his father's birthday. Xue Lu returned to his hometown, and was busy celebrating his father's birthday, when a school captain who called himself Xu Jiang came from Qingzhou Mansion, and he brought a piece of news to Xue Lu's family that made them excited: "Grandpa Guo will come east soon, and it is very likely to catch up with the birthday of the old man of the Xue family." ”

There are still a few days left on Old Man Xue's birthday, Xue Lu estimates that he can catch up with Grandpa Guo, and besides, this birthday will be celebrated for three days in a row, even if he can't catch up on his birthday, he can catch a tail, right? Grandpa Guo joined his Lao Tzu's birthday, what a glorious thing? Even after five lifetimes, his children and grandchildren will be able to boast about it.

Xue Lu's face was full of glory, and his heart was ruthless: "If the prince of the country can't come in time, I will change it to seven days to celebrate his birthday in these three days, and if I don't come again in seven days, I will celebrate for ten days in a row, and I must compare the grandfather of the country and make me happy!" ”

Xue Lu was overjoyed, personally sent a little lieutenant away, and when he got outside, he first stuffed a roll of hard-earned money into Xu Jiang's sleeve, and then said with a smile: "Captain Xu, please go back and reply to Grandpa Guo, just say that Xue Lu is seriously preparing here, and he will definitely wait for the Duke of Guo." ”

Xu Jiang said: "My lord, what delicacies have you never eaten?" What kind of pomp and circumstance have you never seen? How can you prepare for this Jiaoxian premises, and what new tricks can you come up with? According to me, if you want to coax the country to open your heart, it is better to coax the princess's daughter to be happy, our princess, Mrs. Guogong, and the little lady will all come over together, the little lady is the heart of our grandfather, she wants to be happy, and the grandfather is naturally happy. ”

Xue Lu patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, thank you!" He hurriedly stuffed a roll of hard-earned money into Xu Jiang's sleeve, and humbly asked, "I don't know what the little lady likes?" ”

Xu Jiang smiled: "Hey, a little baby, love to be lively." Do you have any particularly interesting juggling, tricks, or something, and invite a famous team to come back and sing a show, and the little lady is still not happy? ”

Xue Lu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Yes, yes, yes!" Xue Lu is a big boss, if it weren't for Captain Xu's reminder, he really couldn't think of such a good idea, thank you for your advice, thank you for your advice! ”

Thanks to Xue Lu's relatives and friends recently, there are many guests who have been sent to him, many of whom have come with juniors, so he has to carry several gift money in his pocket at any time, and now he has taken it out and stuffed it all into Xu Jiang's hands......
