Chapter Eighty-Three: The Huang Father and Son
Xie Siyi and the three left.
Zheng Sheng took a deep breath, he sent Xie Siyi and the three of them back to Nanyang, and the idea was to shake the hearts of Zheng Ming's people who wanted to survive and weaken his strength.
This can be regarded as one of the few ways that Zheng Sheng can do now to counter Zheng Ming.
Zheng Sheng then continued to study fireworks.
After the Sniff 1, they quickly made the Sniff 2. Compared to No. 1, the obvious difference between No. 2 is that it is "fatter" a lot.
Zheng Sheng conducted the ignition experiment again, and this time the paper tube was not completely exploded, but it was also broken apart by the strong * momentum. And this * burn also ignited the paper tube, burning it in half.
They had no choice but to continue to add paper to the outer cylinder and make it stronger. After that, the Sniff No. 3 was finally not too miserable.
After solving the problem of the outer cylinder, they began to conduct a new experiment: the dozen or so compounds were loaded into the inner ball, set off one by one, and tested what color fireworks would bloom after liftoff.
Zheng Yunchi brought the news that Nanyang was convinced.
"Queen Sima Chang will arrive in Wancheng the day after tomorrow. And it is rumored that the king is in a hurry to come over, which is the reason for the concubine. ”
Zheng Sheng was immediately interested in this matter: "Let's talk about it in detail." ”
"Since the death of King Wu, Concubine Shi's health has deteriorated, and the imperial doctor thinks that the weather in Luoyang is too cold and not conducive to recuperation. Therefore, King Sima Chang hurriedly served the concubine and came to Nanyang. ”
Zheng Sheng had a hard time understanding, "Is Jingzhou warm?" It's snowing this year, and it's cold. ”
"Compared to Luoyang, it's indeed warmer!" Zheng Yunchi explained, "Besides, this matter has spread all over Nanyang, and it shouldn't be fake." ”
Zheng Sheng suddenly felt that Sima Chang's purpose of filial piety did not seem to be pure, royal nobles like him, every move was concerned, his mother was sick, and he brought his mother to Jingzhou to recuperate, but before the people arrived, the news spread all over Nanyang. It's not the 21st century, how can news spread so quickly?
Therefore, it is someone, most likely Sima Chang's side, who spread the news.
Thinking in a malicious direction, Zheng Sheng felt that Sima Chang was putting on a show. Of course, maybe Concubine Shi is really sick, and she really needs to come to Jingzhou, a "warm" place, as soon as possible to recuperate, he just needs a little guidance and let go of the news, which does not violate his original intention of coming to Nanyang so soon, and can first receive a wave of popularity, why not Sima Chang!
What Sima Chang was going to do did not affect Zheng Sheng. Even if he arrived in Nanyang within three days, Zheng Sheng would not rush over without recklessness.
Until, two unexpected people "broke into" the manor.
"Huang Ke, Huang Chongru, I really didn't expect that you would come to me?" Zheng Sheng looked at the two people in front of him and said in surprise.
Huang Ke laughed miserably: "Shizi, my father and son have become lost dogs, desperate, I came to see Shizi, just to ask Shizi to give our father and son a way to live." ”
"Survival? You're serious. Your master is living well, why are you a lost dog? Zheng Sheng said slowly.
"I'll tell the prince something, prove something." Huang Ke settled down, "Let's start from the middle of last month." At that time, the prince of the world, you went to Hanzhong secretly, and we had actually found out clearly, so we sent someone to follow. ”
Zheng Sheng realized that Huang Kezhen had broken with Zheng Ming, and Zheng Sheng could get the truth of many things from his mouth. For example, it turned out that Zheng Meng had been eyeing him for a long time, and all the things he did in Hanzhong were all seen by Zheng Ming, so it is no wonder that Ma Liang said that he had just left, and Zheng Ming's people went to Ma's house.
Also, because of the embezzlement of county grain, Liu Yu in Shunyang set up a plan to delay the arrival of the news of the letter in Shunyang. The prince already knew about it. Later, our actions in Shunyang really wanted to make some stumbling blocks for the prince. ”
"Is it just a stumbling block?" Zheng Sheng thought about that string of things.
"Yes, but things went wrong at the end. Huang Juan's incident was the first accident. Huang Ke's voice was low, "After Chong Ru reported the matter back to Nanyang, it didn't take long for the prince to pass the news of Chong Ru's assassination, and at the same time, Shunyang Liu Yu happened. We've come to a hard place to decide. ”
"Cut off all ties with Shunyang and give up the people in Shunyang. It is our decision not to leave the handle in the hands of the Son. ”
"That's why you refused to come and pick up Huang Chongru?" Zheng Sheng glanced at Huang Chongru, "However, you have been thinking about it for too long, and I have already let him go." ”
"Yes, the prince let him go." Huang Ke said indifferently, "However, it was precisely because he returned to Nanyang that he almost died!" ”
Zheng Sheng was stunned, "Could it be that Zheng Miao thinks Huang Chongru is my person?" I sent him over to be a spy? ”
Huang Ke was surprised, shook his head and said, "Definitely." Is it because he feels that he can't stand planting you? ”
"Excuse me?"
"Yes, because I'm sorry, I want to kill." Huang Ke said sadly, "I know him very well. That's why I escaped with Chongru. My Huang family, there are only two of me left, Zheng Meng wants to kill the seed and cut off my descendants. So I had to run. ”
"Ask the son of the world to take it in." Huang Ke bowed deeply.
Zheng Sheng was silent.
"Shizi, Zheng Meng befriended Bo Zhao Tong, the lord of Nanyang County, and Zhao Tong and a steward named Xia Xin in the Shunyang Wang's inner house were old friends. Zheng Meng wanted to seek the position of Wancheng County Commander, so he wanted to have a relationship with King Shunyang through Xia Xin. ”
"He controlled Zheng Wen in order to control all the power of the Zheng clan. Preventing the prince from entering Wancheng is to prevent the prince from sabotaging his plan. ”
"Really? So the people of the Ma family came to Shunyang to prevent me from returning to Wancheng? ”
"Yes. Ma's is actually an excuse used by Zheng Meng to seize the Zheng family's right to be in charge of commerce and trade. ”
But Zheng Ming's people not only controlled Zheng Wen's caravan, but also controlled the personal freedom of many people in the caravoy, arrested many people, and the business bank suffered great losses. What's going on? ”
"This should have happened after I left. I don't know. However, Zheng Miao didn't plan to use such drastic measures before. Maybe something unexpected happened. ”
Zheng frowned, something unexpected? He thought that after Zheng Wen returned to Nanyang, he would tell Zheng Yuan what happened in Shunyang, and they would attack Zheng Ming. As a result, they were all controlled by Zheng Ming.
Zheng Sheng thought about it in his heart, and felt that this was roughly the case.
"Why did you come to Shunyang to join me? With the size of the world, since you have left Nanyang, you can go anywhere, right? Why did you come to see me? ”
Huang Ke gestured to Huang Chongru, and he ripped off his shirt, revealing several wounds wrapped in gauze on his body, "Zheng Meng is chasing us." There is a unique group of strangers in Shunyang Survival Road, who are good at crossing mountains and mountains and tracking traces. We were lucky enough to avoid the pursuit and came to Shunyang. ”
"Huang Juan's death has a lot to do with me, because he almost killed me because of this incident. Even if our relationship is not a blood feud, it is not possible to be peaceful. Although, you told me a lot of things. ”
Huang Juan was silent for a moment and said, "Shizi, Juan Er died, but she died in an accident. Moreover, the past is all gone, and people cannot be resurrected after death. I just hope that the son of the world can give our father and son a way to live, a dry field, two huts, and a living. ”
"Do you think I can protect you? Now I can't protect myself from this situation. Zheng Shengdao.
"Shizi, no one knows you better than us." Huang Ke said in a low voice, "The ability of the prince of the world is something that no one can imagine. Will those who are difficult to protect themselves sit as firmly as the son of the world? ”
Zheng Sheng closed his eyes and thought for a while, then waved his hand to ask the family to temporarily arrange for them to live in the manor.
Zheng Sheng didn't believe that Zheng Meng could play such an operation and let Huang Ke and Huang Chongru make such a bitter plan.
Because in this situation, there is no need at all! Therefore, what the Huang father and son said is credible. He can take them in.
However, thinking of Zheng Miao's intention to kill Huang Chongru, Zheng Sheng had a new understanding of his character. It's really ruthless! Huang Ke knew his character and ran away with his son, and Zheng Miao had to chase him down. It's ruthless!
Then, Zheng Sheng began to carefully analyze the information he had now obtained.
Combined with the information they brought to him by Ma Liang and Huang Ke, Zheng Sheng was sure that Zheng Meng wanted him to stay in Shunyang and not go to Wancheng. It's just that the information that Huang Ke gave him is clearer, and all of Zheng Sheng's previous questions are clear.
Zheng Meng wanted to talk to Sima Chang through Zhao Tong and Xia Xin, and in this process, the price that Zheng had to pay could only come from Zheng Wen's firm.
But the interests of the caravan are his interests! Zheng Sheng thought about this fact. Zheng Meng wants to use his interests to seek his own career, and he is really making a good calculation!
Wanxian, a large county with a population of more than 3,000 households, is one of the largest cities in Jingzhou! In the country, Wancheng is also ranked first. If Zheng Meng becomes a Wancheng County Commander, this qualification is too good!
But if Zheng Meng plans to take out a considerable part of the profits he and Zheng Wen have worked hard for the Zheng family in the past few years to "buy" an official body of the county order. Zheng Sheng will definitely find a way to mess up his good deeds!
Even if the wood is completed in the end, then Zheng Sheng will break the jar!
Zheng Zi paper, he won't exchange it! Get rid of the drunken cooks! Zheng Sheng started a new stove, isn't it okay?
Of course, it doesn't really come to the end.
Zheng Sheng found Ren Zheng back. Ren has been busy in Shunyang these days, busy receiving Qing Meiju. Busy recruiting Zheng Sheng's caravan guard battalion and family members.
When Ren came back, he first reported the progress to Zheng Sheng, the personnel of the guard battalion and the family were recruited, and Qing Meiju was also reorganized, and it could continue to operate at any time.
After listening to the report, Zheng Sheng raised his own questions: "Next year, Zheng Meng will be promoted to the county guard, right?" ”
Ren was stunned for a moment, and then he whispered: "Three turns, Young Master Zheng Miao, in the past few years, has been quite capable as an official, and next year's rank will indeed be promoted to the first rank of Shang Shulang." According to common sense, he is indeed going to be a county official. ”
