Fang Kezhuang has two sons. The eldest son, Fang Kai, lived with him in Kaiyuan, and the second son, Fang Hui, had moved to the center of Qingzhou, and several grandchildren were also placed in half.

This is obviously to keep their own seedlings.

The same is true of the children and grandchildren of his two deceased brothers.

Now Fang Kai personally led people to guard the door, and when the shells came, he heard the sound, and immediately saw the flowers exploding at the window, and he hurriedly led people to come and see. Feng Pu's appearance startled him, fortunately Fang Kezhuang was fine, he hurriedly persuaded Fang Kezhuang to leave here.

Fang Kezhuang's face was gloomy.

Kaiyuan is his home, from his father's house to build a garden, now has been fifty or sixty years, pavilions, pavilions, water pavilions, willows, pure and elegant, from the corridor turn to the south, the layout of the garden suddenly opened. Surrounded by canals, melons and fruits; In the garden, the pond and marsh fish lotus, the room, the pavilion, the pavilion, with pine and bamboo, strange stones, and the famous flowers such as peonies are widely planted, which is natural and elegant.

It has long been a place for Qingzhou literati to gather.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qingzhou's humanities were flourishing, and after the "Haidai Poetry Society", literati poetry societies emerged one after another, and Kaiyuan became an ideal gathering point. Originally, there were literary meetings by Fang Rushi, Wang Ji, Zhang Xianxiang and others; After that, Fang Kejiu, Fang Keda, Zhong Yuzheng, Feng Qi and others mostly traveled here; Later, there was a gathering between Fang Kezhuang and Cao Jin, Xia Yong and others.

The grass is still green and flawless.

For Fang Kezhuang, who is over sixty years old now, there are too many memories for him here.

Although he has long been persuaded because of his proximity to the city wall and the greater danger, Fang Kezhuang has always been reluctant to leave the Kaiyuan that his two generations have been running for decades. But now it seems that ...... is not going to be able to leave.

Fang Kezhuang's eyes were a little dull, he was thinking about the original choice, if he chose another path, like the Cao family, and was not moved by Wang Aoyong, would the Fang family be able to avoid this catastrophe today?

Fang Kezhuang is not a fool. The situation in Qingzhou City has become so bad, he is very clear.

This place has not been lost so far, it is completely because Zheng Jun has not completely exerted his strength, otherwise with the kind of hot cannonball that can set fire, Zheng Jun can only crackle, Qingzhou is afraid that sooner or later it will be burned into ruins.

And if Qingzhou City is lost, the Fang family's belongings and land will be all over, and even whether the Fang family can still leave the Miao descendants is two words.

The hard work of generations of ancestors and the painstaking management of the Fang family are all over now because of one of their own choices.

Painful remorse is devouring Fang Kezhuang's heart like a poisonous snake.

Since hearing the news of the 'Northern Expedition of the Million Ming Army', Fang Kezhuang's confidence and mind have been shaken.

Because he knew very well that the main forces of the Manchu Qing were trapped in Shanxi, and Emperor Chongzhen was taking advantage of the weakness. Although some of them are not victorious, there is no benevolence and morality on the battlefield, as long as you can seize the opportunity to defeat the enemy, it is the most clever trick.

Didn't Gou Jian's extermination of Wu also take advantage of the void?

Kaifeng, Ziyang, and even Luoyang can no longer be defended, how can Qingzhou City be defended?

Is Zheng Zhilong not able to fight, or is Zheng Jun's combat effectiveness not good?

Since the Battle of Qingzhou began, he hadn't slept well for many days. Now Fang Kezhuang's neatly combed hair is also messy, his face is dark blue, his clothes are wrinkled and gray, and his eyes are bloodshot, and he looks like a bad old man with a spirit of Alexander.

But if he can make another determination at this time and reconnect with the Cao family, it can only be said that this kind of old bureaucrat is still very decisive.

Glancing at the completely messy room, Fang Kezhuang exuded endless decadence like an old dog, but still ordered the people around him: "Go immediately, let's go, let's go to the Temple of Literature." ”

The Confucian Temple in Qingzhou Mansion is a large courtyard with five entrances, and the scale is very grand. The location is also far away from the southwest, although it is still in the coverage of Zheng Jun's artillery fire, but it is much stronger than Kaiyuan.

It's just that Fang Kezhuang and the others didn't know, they only thought it was a very secret meeting, but in fact, they all fell into the eyes of one person.

He is Sun Zhiqi.

Compared with Haoge's 'thick branches and big leaves', Sun Zhiqi understands the virtues of 'raccoon dogs' very well.

Because if it weren't for the fact that his family and blood relatives were still under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Sun Zhiqi himself had never received a private solicitation from the Ming and Zheng sides, and even Zheng Zhilong had been shouting and killing him, and no one in Jinling City had ever said a good word for him, who called him a remnant of the eunuch party. Sun Zhiqi may not be able to step on two boats.

Therefore, he paid a lot of attention to the gentry in Qingzhou.

These shameless guys, in the war, are moths, that is certain.

Because just like they chose the Manchu Qing Dynasty at the beginning, now they must also choose the Ming Dynasty in order to save their family property and life.

Fang Kezhuang was the first person he was watching.

Sun Zhiqi looked down on Fang Kezhuang. A shameless but well-known person pushed his nephew out to be an official and married a good Qing Dynasty, and the property status of the Fang family could only be preserved. However, he lived in seclusion in Kaiyuan, and he still maintained the loyal appearance of the Ming Dynasty's widow, which was really both a female cousin and a memorial arch.

At the same time, it is also called Sun Zhiqi, a female cousin who can't stand the archway, and her eyes are red, and she hates it.

"Old man......"

An attendant whispered in his ear.

"Is it them? You're going to have to see it clearly. ”

"Don't worry, master, the villain's tricks will never be wrong."

Sun Zhiqi laughed, patted this person's shoulder and smiled happily, "Okay, it's good to see it." Come with me to see Prince Su, the time has come for your boy to make meritorious contributions. ”

Sun Zhiqi is going to completely cut off his back road.

He wants to expose the 'conspiracy' of Fang Kezhuang and others to Haoge, which is to follow the Tartars with all his heart.

To be able to make such a decision in the current climate, Sun Zhiqi is really bold.

But this is also quite in line with his personality.

At the beginning, Sun Zhiqi was a jinshi during the apocalypse, and he was given a review and moved to study. At that time, it was the time when Wei Zhongxian was in power, and the eunuch party was popular, so he became a member of the eunuch party, and he really lived a good life. In the first year of Chongzhen, after the fall of Wei Zhongxian, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the destruction of the "Three Dynasties Classics" compiled by Wei Zhongxian. In August, the imperial court "cut Sun Zhiqi's nationality" and sent him back to his hometown to eat rice, and he has not been able to turn over for more than ten years.

What Sun Zhiqi is doing now, and even what he is doing in history, is obviously a desire for profit, and he doesn't care about anything in order to be an official. But you can't ignore this man's boldness!

He dared to cry bitterly in Taimiao with the "Three Dynasties Canon" compiled by Wei Zhongxian's envoys, but now he dares to sell the house with his backhand, and they will be a stepping stone for himself to go further. Just like in history, after he was humiliated and ridiculed, he dared to ask for a shave of his hair and dragged everyone into the water.

Although this man is greedy for wealth and wealth, he has no shameless thoughts, and he has caused endless evil. But this Sun Zhiqi's 'guts' are really big!
