At the end of the letter, Zheng Wen also mentioned to Zheng Sheng that the Longyun of the Nanyang Long clan also complained to him that his family had a good relationship with the Zheng family, and Zheng Sheng sold fireworks to the king of Shunyang for less than two hundred yuan. Of course not! This opening has long been blocked.

He felt like a clown, and he believed what people were saying. Caught in the rain? Out of money? Joke!

Zheng Shenghu walked out of the door with a face, Liu Wei'er was meeting him, the little girl was startled, she didn't have time to talk to him in a hurry, and watched him go straight into the Beishan forest.

He stepped on the stone steps repaired by the family, and walked forward absentmindedly until he reached the north entrance of the Iron Smelting Valley, and he did not hesitate to go southeast.

There was a narrow path on this side, and the clumps of low trees had been cleared, and the dangerous rocks blocking the way had been removed. But the road here is very steep, Zheng Sheng took his mind back and climbed the mountain wholeheartedly.

He climbed to the top, which was not very high, but it was the highest relative to the surrounding hills, so he had a good view from the top of the peak. Looking to the north, you can see the small courtyard and Lijiazhuang, and to the west is the continuous peak, but Zheng Sheng knows that between the two mountains in the west is the iron valley, and in the east and south directions, a white line can be faintly seen between the lush mountains and forests, which is the bluestone road.

This is where Zheng Sheng and everyone came up when they were circling in the mountains before. After reaching the top of the mountain, Zheng Sheng felt that this place was very good, and regarded it as the main peak of the North Mountain, so he named it "North Peak".

At the peak, blowing the cold wind of early spring, looking at the busy figures between the mountains and mountains, Zheng Sheng's heart slowly calmed down.

He sat on the bluestone and said softly: "Zheng Sheng, what qualifications do you have to underestimate the people here?" ”

partnered with Sima Chang to sell fireworks, defeat Zheng Ming, win the trust of the king, and have a stable life in the next few years. Zheng Sheng thought he had a plan, but Zheng Wen's letter was like a basin of cold water on his head, waking up his sweet dream.

Xia Xin and Sima Chang were lying to him!

A spring rain that destroyed 200 fireworks? It's a big spring rain. Are all the people in the palace stupid? Twenty fireworks sold for 13,000 yuan, dare to let these treasures rain?

After ruining the goods of more than 100,000 yuan, can this old guy Xia Xin continue to be in charge of this business?

He was too young. He sold Sima Chang for 200 yuan, thinking that he had made a fortune, but Xia Xin sold it for more than 600 yuan as soon as he changed hands.

Then, the old man came running up and said that he was doing a hard job, and now he has no money, so you can lend me some.

So, he believed.

Zheng Sheng silently calculated, Sima Chang put fifty by himself, even if he accidentally destroyed two hundred, there were still one hundred and fifty, and one was five or six hundred, at least it could be sold for eighty thousand yuan.

Will Shashin run out of money?

Zheng Sheng smiled silently.

He silently reminded himself that this is not a game, and the people here will be like NPCs, allowing him to brush up on experience and favor, and it is not something that he can hide from the world by wishful thinking and cleverness. Here are the human spirits who eat more salt than he eats.

For a while, he thought a lot.

After reflection, Zheng Sheng stood up, looked at the verdant spring scenery for a while, and went down the mountain.

Along the way, Zheng Sheng pondered why Xia Xin deceived him.

According to Zheng Wen, fireworks actually sell well in Jingzhou.

Although, the price of 13,000 yuan for 20 fireworks is daunting.

"It won't be Sima Chang's reason." Zheng Sheng thought from this that King Shunyang, who was only seeking wealth, would not be the mastermind. Besides, Sima Chang is the mastermind, there is no need to lie to him at all, there are Kingdom guards a few miles away.

But Sima Chang was excluded, why did Xia Xin lie to him?

Zheng Sheng thought of a possibility, was it the result of Xia Xin's unsuccessful blackmailing of him last time?

But what is the benefit of doing so? Greedy for those 200 fireworks? Thinking about the embarrassment Xia Xin showed when he mentioned the two hundred fireworks, he felt that there was something wrong with it. But it's not necessary? Two hundred fireworks, at most 100,000 yuan, are not enough to support him for "crime".

Is it another conspiracy that has not yet been perceived?

Also, next time Xia Xin comes back, do you want to give him fireworks? Not giving it to him is naturally the most direct way to thwart his conspiracy, but the consequences of doing so are very serious, if Xia Xin takes the opportunity to tell Sima Chang that he will not supply the goods, it will inevitably anger Sima Chang.

Given to him, it doesn't seem to have much effect? Could it be that he is taking things too seriously? Xia Xin didn't say that he wouldn't give money, but he just owed it for a while. Even if he had a conspiracy, wouldn't it be better to lure the snake out of the hole?

But Zheng Sheng was upset. Xia Xin deceived him, does he have to endure it? Even if he stabbed the matter to Sima Chang, Zheng Sheng was actually not stunned.

He couldn't bear it, the last time he blackmailed, this time he deceived, Xia Xin deceived people too much!

Zheng Sheng thought about it and decided to go to a few people to discuss. Everyone brainstorms, and maybe there will be new ideas.

So, he went to the bamboo house.

Wenwu Battalion, this name was killed in the first month of the Taixi year.

Mrs. Wang moved to Qingzhuling, found out about this problem, and asked Zheng Sheng's ear: Obviously I came to study, what is the camp called! Battalion, is the military system good!

Therefore, Zheng Sheng followed his mother's advice.

In fact, after moving to the bamboo forest, it has been called the academy, but it still has the name of Wenwu Camp. After canceling the name of the Wenwu Camp, it was naturally still called Qingzhu Academy, and it was just regarded as a person from the original Wuying to study in Qingzhu Academy.

The big study room is a place for everyone to read together, here is a large house with a length and width of more than 10 meters and a width of hundreds of square meters, in order to facilitate lighting, the study landlord, south and west three directions of the wall have opened large windows.

When I came in, everyone was holding a book and studying.

Zheng Sheng came in and swept his eyes, and there were Qiu Fuzi, Wan Fuzi, Wang Jun, Wan Yun, Zheng Shang, Xie Siyi, Zheng Qian, Shi Caisheng, Zheng Bi'an, Zheng Yu, Guo Pingshuo, Wang Qian, Li Chongjing, Xin Bizhong, and Xiao Suzi.

On the west side, covered by half a screen, are Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Han, Liu Wei'er, Han Jing, Yao Xiaoya, and Qing'er.

People are neat. Zheng Sheng muttered, he glanced at his mother, and stepped back gently.

"Where are you going?" Madame Wang stopped him.

Zheng Sheng had no choice but to stop, and Mrs. Wang continued to reprimand: "Tell me, how many hours do you spend in the study in a day?" Wandering around all day, how much homework has been left behind? ”

Zheng Sheng obediently listened to the training, and waited for Mrs. Wang's mouth to be dry, "What do you want to do when you come to the study, can you say?" ”

Zheng Sheng swept his eyes and saw that Qiu Fuzi didn't want to pay attention to him, thought about it, and nodded: "Wanyun, Wang Jun, Zheng Yu, Xie Siyi, Wang Qian, you come with me." ”

Zheng Sheng returned to the bamboo house with a few snickering people, took out Zheng Wen's letter, and passed it to them, "You all know about Xia Xin's visit to Qingzhuling that day. Today, Cousin Wen sent this letter, you can take a look. ”

After reading it, the five of them were silent for a moment and spoke one after another.

Wang Jun was the first to say, "This really doesn't work. Shizi, when Steward Xia Xin comes again, he should persuade him to reduce the price, this business will not go on like this. Uh, as for why he deceived the prince and wanted to cheat money? Let's find a way to expose him, just in time to settle the accounts of the last blackmail! ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, it really needs to be reduced, and the fireworks business is done like this, but Sima Chang is too greedy. But that's not what they're going to talk about right now: "We'll talk about it later." ”

Zheng Yu said: "Xia Xin, the old thief, must have a conspiracy, and the spring rain has wet the fireworks?" The spring rain is like silk, unless you spread out all the fireworks, how can they all get wet? It can be seen from this that it must be done on purpose, Shizi, it is better to take advantage of the fact that this thief has not come again, and we will send someone to Shunyang, King Bingming, and then we can resolve the conspiracy. ”

Zheng Sheng thought about it, shook his head and said: "Will Xia Xin wait for us in Shunyang, even if we arrive in Shunyang, the time we will see the king is enough for Xia Xin to arrange the backhand." You know, Xia Xin is a close confidant of the king. ”

Zheng Sheng looked at the remaining three, Xie Siyi was in a daze, Wang Qian was stupid, and Wan Yun was pondering, thinking that after asking questions in the past, Wan Yun's answer was always very positive, but this time he thought about it for so long. Is there a discovery?

Zheng Sheng didn't bother him, and instead asked the other two what they thought.

Wang Qian said: "Xia Xin has a conspiracy and wants to be unfavorable to the son, I will listen to the son, and the son can do whatever he wants." ”

Xie Siyi returned to his senses, "I also listen to the son of the world." ”

Zheng Sheng sighed lightly, Wang Qian has a weak personality, and if he wants to ask him academic questions, he can give good answers, but this kind of openness and boldness involves topics outside Qingzhuling, so he is "obedient". As for Xie Siyi, he was still in the sequelae after returning from the last trip, and was deceived by his former "relatives", and Wei and Fang also died because of him. During this time, Xie Siyi was still in a trance.

Zheng Sheng turned his head to look at Wan Yun.

Wan Yun glanced at him, "Shizi, Xia Xin has bad intentions, and he will be plotting against Shizi." ”

"First, initially, the prince of the world offered fireworks, followed from Nanyang to Shunyang, and only after more than ten days did he see the king. Lord of fireworks, isn't the king curious? Along the way, the king has met a lot of people, can't he spare a little time to see the son? There must be a mystery in neglecting the world like this. You must know that Xia Xin is a close confidant of the king, and the villain is stupid. ”

"Second, when the prince first talked about business with the palace, it was Sima Dingyun. The king received millions of gifts, and the king will pay attention to this time-consuming and labor-intensive business? Xia Xin took this matter, which is unreasonable. ”

"Third, Xia Xin blackmailed the son. When I came to Qingzhuling, I had already negotiated, but I delayed the payment under the pretext that the palace had no money. When I came to Qingzhuling again, I used the excuse of the spring rain to destroy the fireworks and delay again. I think that these few times, he is trying to provoke the prince and make you and King Shunyang turn against each other. ”

Zheng Sheng was a little confused, Xia Xin had done so many bad things? Why hasn't he felt it all the time?

"Shizi, don't you think it's strange? Shaxin seems to have been targeting you all the time. Could it be that just because the blackmail failed once, and the grudge was held, did this? He is the big steward of the Shunyang Palace, with a powerful position and everything. Is that a lot of money? Is it worth it? ”

Zheng Sheng interrupted him, "Wan Yun, you're thinking too much, right?" ”

"Shizi, don't forget about Zheng Meng and King Shunyang, Zheng Meng wants to cling to King Shunyang, how to do it? It's nothing more than opening the way with money, first befriending the king's cronies, and then planning later. This person, most likely, is Xia Xin. After all, he is the king's closest confidant! ”

"Shizi, I suspect that this is Zheng Meng and Xia Xin's calculation."
