Chapter Twenty-Five: The Bronze Returns

"It's not realistic!" Zheng Wendao.

"Then there is no way, only war! Fight to the end! Zheng Shengdao.

Zheng Wen felt even more worried.

It took several days, and it was not until January 22 that Wang Ruan and the others returned to Wanquan Town.

On the southeastern border of Wanquan Township, the division between Debt Nanju and Zhangli Township, many people came.

There are Huwei Ying, Zheng's family, and villagers from nearby villages such as Nanju and Wutianju.

After Zheng Sheng said that he would go to the border to welcome back the people who died in Sunjiayi, there was a lot of controversy within Wanquan Town. But what the people want, when Zheng Sheng took his own people to the field, many villagers had spontaneously gathered on both sides of the road.

They are supporters of Zheng Sheng.

Everyone was silent, and the silence of the scene was oppressive but contained a powerful force.

Zheng Sheng looked at the wilderness in the distance and was silent.

Until a black dot appeared on the intersection of heaven and earth, the black dot gradually became larger and longer, and finally became a long, slow-walking convoy.

The crowd stirred for a moment, then fell silent again.

Because Zheng Sheng didn't make any moves.

When Zheng Sheng saw the convoy appear, he thought about all kinds of "what to do" that Zheng Wen taught him not long ago, but in the end, he didn't do anything, and putting on a show was never his strong point. Zheng Sheng also didn't feel that he needed to put on a show to attract popularity and increase his prestige.

The convoy slowly approached, but Zheng Sheng fell into deep thought.

Wang Ruan took the lead, and what happened to him in Sunjiayi during this time almost subverted his worldview. The government's slackness, the cold eyes of others, and his painstaking loneliness ran back and forth, worn out his mouth and exhausted his mind, but he still couldn't change the dangerous situation.

Back in Wanquan Town, Wang Ruan looked at the waiting crowd, and his cold and bitter heart finally felt warm again.

When he got closer, Wang Ruan saw Zheng Sheng, who was standing with Wang Jun, Zheng Cheng and others, wearing a coarse cloth and linen white clothes that were indistinguishable from others.

Wang Ruan was a little surprised, but he was even more grateful, and he urged the horse forward.

They're home!

Coming to the front, Wang Ruan stumbled off the horse, went to Zheng Sheng, covered his face with long sleeves and bowed deeply, and said ashamedly: "Shizi, there is a humiliating mission, please punish Shizi!" ”

Zheng Sheng was still out of the way, and it wasn't until Zheng Cheng reminded him a few times that Zheng Sheng realized that Wang Ruan's convoy had arrived.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's go home!" Zheng Shengdao.

Hundreds of people surrounded the convoy and slowly walked across a flat lake - this is the artificial lake Debt South Lake, which Zheng Sheng and his people have worked hard to dig up in the past two years.

After crossing the lake, we arrived at the debt south gathering, and the crowd dispersed, but it was close to the central area of Wanquan Town, and the accompanying people naturally did not decrease, and more people joined in one after another, and went home with Zheng Sheng in the carriage.

Zheng Wen has been waiting for a long time on the banks of the Nord Stream. The Zheng family took over the convoy.

Zheng Wen immediately announced loudly: "Zheng Ruru, Han Fang and other eight people were killed by thieves because of the affairs of our clan, although they were employed by me, they are not as cheap as grass, life and death are as heavy as mountains. Our people will bury them in seven days. ”

At the same time, they will be given a generous pension to their families. Their children will be taught by the sons of our people. To comfort their souls in heaven! ”

The generous pension and the promotion of future generations made the people of Wanquan Town envious.

"The unlearned kid of the Han family can actually be Zheng Shizi's personal follower? What a blessing! ”

"What can we do? I remember that after Han Fang entered the Zheng family's caravan, he begged the master to stuff his precious son into the academy, but he repeatedly disobeyed discipline and was finally kicked out. ”

"Hey, the Han family is miserable enough. The pillar of the Korean side is broken, what should I do in the future? ”

"Isn't there a bereavement pension from the Zheng family? Han Liang has the discipline of the son, and he should grow up! ”

"Who knows?"

The death of a person is an earth-shattering change in a family. Hanfang and his family are just one of them.

Similar discussions are taking place in several other parts of Wanquan Town.

Bringing the children of the dead eight people to his side was the result of the discussion between Zheng Sheng and Zheng Wen, which is the same reason as the general died on the battlefield and the emperor used his son as a guard.

Zheng Sheng was not good at collecting and appeasing people's hearts, and he didn't know that one of them was a stubborn boy who had been kicked out of the academy.

Zheng Wen arranged these things for him, and Zheng Wen's importance in Wanquan Town was undoubted, but Zheng Wen always complained to Zheng Sheng that he was too tired and wanted to hand things over to Zheng Sheng.

So Zheng Sheng decided to choose a few people to help Zheng Wen.

Wang Jun, Zheng Bi'an, Shi Caisheng.

The teenagers gradually "graduated" from his side and could participate in all kinds of detailed things.

The funeral did not need to be presided over by Zheng Sheng. However, trouble automatically came to the door.

"The name of the person who came is Shi Tong, a clansman of the history of stone thorns, and now a salt merchant in Jingzhou. He had come to seek cooperation. Zheng Wen felt that this was a great opportunity to ease the conflict with Shi Chong.

Zheng Sheng said: "What business does he want to do?" ”

"I don't know. But I think it should have something to do with auction houses and grain. ”

"That's gone. Since you know that he is Shi Chong's person, what is the use of seeing him? Shi Chong definitely wants the lion to open his mouth, and we must not agree to the conditions he offered. Zheng Sheng said without hesitation, "However, the name of bronze seems a little familiar?" ”

"This person came here a few years ago to work with us, but because the other party bargained too high, it didn't work out. At that time, I also consulted with you about this time. ”

Zheng Sheng also suddenly remembered that a few years ago, the clansmen of Shi Chong, the new Jingzhou Thorn Shi, came to ask for cooperation and failed to negotiate.

It turned out that at that time, Shi Chong was already eyeing him!

"Let me meet him, what does Shi Chong want to do?" Zheng Sheng changed his mind.

Zheng Sheng felt that Shi Chong's opponent was really a bit terrifying, as the biggest official in Jingzhou, in the more than two years he had been in office, it was actually too simple to take control of a small Zheng family.

But Shi Chong actually endured it for more than two years. This is a bit abnormal! Does it take so much trouble to deal with someone who is much weaker than yourself?

Zheng Sheng shuddered, he found that he didn't know Shi Chong at all, and he didn't know anything about the other party.

Knowing that the other side can win all battles, he only knows that the history of Jingzhou is called Shi Chong, and he doesn't know anything else.

Shi Chong's subordinate should know a lot of things, and it is indeed inappropriate to directly leave him in Shunyang. By the way, what's that person's name?

Zheng Sheng had forgotten Yao Ping's name......

Zheng Sheng didn't notice that Yao Ping looked dazed when he left. Even if he is a captive, Yao Ping feels that he is very valuable!

But Zheng Sheng didn't think of these things at that time.

"Remember when we went back to Shunyang, we brought that Shi Chong's subordinate over." Zheng Sheng instructed Liu Wei'er, then put down the matter and concentrated on preparing to deal with the bronze.
