Chapter Fifty-Three: Striking the West
Then, Zheng Sheng was pulled backwards by a huge force, and Zheng Sheng retreated back to the courtyard like this. Zheng Sheng looked back and saw that it was Bu Bo.
Bu Bo stood against the door and looked at Zheng Sheng: "Look at your embarrassed appearance." ”
Zheng Sheng is indeed very embarrassed now, his clothes are disheveled, his hair is messy, and he has an expression of the rest of his life.
"It's horrible."
"What is this?" Bu Bo's tone was flat, listening to the sound of "Bang Bang" on the wooden door, Bu Bo frowned, "I'll let Zheng Donggu protect you, and I'll arrest a few people." ”
After saying that, Bu Bo opened the door and squeezed into the crowd, like a drop of water falling into the sea, disappearing in an instant.
Zheng Sheng wanted to continue shouting loudly, but just now, his voice was already hoarse, and now his voice can't make a loud voice.
At this time, his tiger guard camp finally arrived, although it was only a hundred or ten children, but most of these children they knew, they were their neighbors, relatives and friends, and some even their children!
The Tiger Guard Battalion stood in several rows, holding shovels and brooms in their hands to clear the snow. The children stood solemnly and nervously.
The Tiger Guard Camp and the people confronted each other quietly, and there was no more noise.
Zheng Sheng stood in front of the guards of the Tiger Guard Battalion, looking at the hundreds of people, he said softly: "Please come out and talk to me, what do you want to say, what to do, tell me!" ”
People began to talk again, and after a while, several old people over 100 years old came out. Zheng Sheng recognized them, Li Shushi in Lijia Village, Xin Sanmu in Xinzhuang, Huang Pushan in Lindan, Gao Zhi in Gaomi Township, Xie Sancai in Xie Zhuang, Cao Min in Wuhu Village, etc., all of whom were old people with some status in nearby villages.
"It's snowing so hard, why don't you old people stay at home?"
Li Li is the most familiar with Zheng Sheng among these people. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "Shizi, in the hundred and ten townships of Nanxiang, Shunyang, and Danshui, everyone came over together, I want to beg you, don't go!" ”
"Yes, don't go!"
"Don't go!" Hundreds of people all said the same sentence, they didn't speak very well, hundreds of mouths you said, I said these three words, and it was a bit chaotic!
However, after a few seconds, the voice was gone, and everyone looked at him.
Zheng Sheng was not afraid this time, because he understood that the villagers were now restrained, hopeful, and sincere.
Perhaps, this incident was provoked by someone with a heart, but the villagers of Shunyang wanted to keep him, and they were sincere.
Zheng Sheng's heart was warm: "Who said I was leaving, I wouldn't go." ”
Li Li was surprised.
Xin Sanmu said: "Shizi, it has been rumored everywhere recently, saying that Shunyang is going to be sealed to a prince, and Lord Danyin is going to be changed to other places. ”
"Uncle Xin, don't listen to rumors, and don't listen to rumors, King Shunyang has it, but his fief does not conflict with my father's fief. So, I don't need to go. ”
Hearing this, the villagers understood that Zheng Sheng really would not leave, so everyone happily discussed it again.
Zheng Sheng asked Wang Jun to arrange for the elderly to come into the room to rest. As for the others, Zheng Sheng could only hope that they would leave as soon as possible.
Zheng Sheng returned to the middle hall tiredly, and before he had time to take a sip of hot tea and moisten his throat. Wei Mo ran in again, with a panicked face: "Shizi, you have been robbed!" ”
"What? There are thieves? Zheng Sheng put down the teacup, "Where is the thief?" ”
"Just now, Fang Qishan and I also went to the front to maintain order, and when we returned to the west courtyard, we found that two figures had rushed out of the secret room, and Fang Qishan had already led people to chase them."
Zheng Sheng was stunned and nodded: "Well, okay." ”
Zheng Sheng almost understood, this move was very beautiful, and the other party's real target was something in his secret room?
Zheng Sheng smiled, I'm afraid this will disappoint him, right?
Huang Juan was indeed disappointed, he continued to run into the mountains with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and there were many young children and sturdy villagers who came to help Zheng Sheng catch the thief with guilt.
Huang Juan thought back to what he had seen at the target location, paper, Zhengzi paper and ordinary paper, stacked in a mess, and he was not interested.
Inside, there was a small stone platform, on which were placed miscellaneous things, and he saw charcoal, stones, saltpeter, and all kinds of strange thin pipes and funnels and the like.
Again, he wasn't interested.
Continuing on, he came to a courtyard with several tall round stone brick buildings, which seemed to be large furnaces? He didn't know what it was for. On the other side of the courtyard was the entrance to the cave, and he felt that if he found the real secret hidden, he would be able to uncover it in no time!
As a result, what he saw were several stoves, hammers for striking iron, etc., and so on, which was clearly an ironsmith's shop!
When he walked out of the secret room in a daze, Huang Juan recalled the information he had gotten, and it seemed that he had gotten nothing!
This place is a disguise! Huang Juan suddenly realized.
Then, when they were discovered, he had to flee with his companions who were in charge of the release.
Huang Juan is unwilling, really unwilling. After leaving the Zheng Academy, Huang Juan followed his uncle to Xiliu Village to manage those unruly wanderers, and it was at that time that his face was injured by a wanderer boy with a homemade bow and crossbow! In retaliation, he expelled the boy from the village.
Later, he was sent to Shunyang. No one in the outside world knows how much effort they put in.
In the past few years, they have been lurking in Shunyang, monitoring Zheng Sheng, and they have been holding back for a few years. This time, there is finally the most suitable opportunity, and they are going to make a big deal!
It's just that things don't seem to be going well so far. The people were easily appeased by Zheng Sheng, and his spy operation was in vain.
Zheng Sheng's power is getting stronger and stronger!
But now, his only thought is to run away!
Huang Juan shook off his pursuers and slipped back to the inlet where he was hiding, and he made a big circle before returning. As a result, none of his people were there. He understood that they should all be caught, and Huang Juan did not dare to guarantee that none of them would betray him.
Let's go! Huang Juan cleared the ice from the bottom of the boat, pushed the boat over the frozen river, and came to the unfrozen place in the middle of the river. At this time, he heard a loud voice not far away, "It's him." He's done on board! Chase! ”
Huang Juan hurriedly got on the boat, and was about to leave, when a boat collided directly from the upper reaches at a very fast speed, Huang Juan couldn't stand on his feet and fell into the cold river.
Wang Wuyu scolded while holding the boat: "You thief! Dare to lie to me! Let's get in the water and sober up! ”
Zheng Yu caught up with people panting, "Uncle Wang, I heard another thief say, this person is quite important, if he falls into the water, he won't drown, right?" ”
Wang Wuyu's face was full of red light, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, child, this little thief has been fishing in Maoxi all year round, and it is common to go into the water." Let him go into this frozen water today and wake up his head! Dare to lie to me Wang Wuyu! Drowning is just right! Wang Wuyu saw Huang Juan coming out of the water, and he hit him into the water with a rod!
Zheng Yu persuaded Wang Wuyu to fish out Huang Juan again. Wang Wuyu reluctantly cast the fishing net and fished Huang Juan up.
Huang Juan closed his eyes tightly and lay motionless.
Wang Wuyu exclaimed in surprise, "You can't really drown, right?" He hurriedly untied the fishing net and dragged Huang Juan out.
Zheng Yu also brought two Tiger Guard Battalion guards on the boat to check, "Uncle Wuyu, he won't really have an accident, right?" ”
"It's fine, it's just holding your breath." Before Wang Wuyu's words fell, Huang Juan opened his eyes violently and pushed Wang Wuyu into the river! picked up the pole and hit Zheng Yu, and Zheng Yu and the three of them hurriedly formed a formation to meet the enemy.
Who knew that Huang Juan just shook a shot, jumped forward, jumped on his boat, and walked away.
When Zheng Yu scooped up Wang Wuyu, Huang Juan had already escaped by boat. Wang Wuyu was shivering from the cold river water, Zheng Yu gave up the pursuit and sent the old fisherman home.
After listening to Fang Qishan's report, Zheng Sheng knew that the person who spread the rumors was actually his former classmate, Huang Juan, who was driven away by Master Qiu. I heard Zheng Yu say that Huang Juan fled, so Zheng Sheng didn't pursue it. Because these are just tentacles, maybe Zheng Ming's ultimate move is still behind.
I really want to reveal this matter, it was his brother, who was ruthless to him again after enduring it for many years!
In the past few years, Zheng Sheng has been very careful to guard against attacks from Zheng Ming.
However, Zheng Meng has been doing his official position safely since he purged Xie Yili Nanyang refugees a few years ago.
Zheng Sheng didn't dare to be careless at any time, guarding against Zheng Ming's move. But Zheng Luo still made Zheng Sheng almost overwhelmed this time.
If he hadn't used carrier pigeons to send messages, he really wouldn't have gotten the right information. He wasn't sure if he could stay, how could he have the confidence to tell the villagers that he wouldn't leave?
Resolving the troubles of the villagers will definitely take a lot of trouble.
Thankfully, he still won the game.
"How can Zheng Meng do this?" Qiu Fuzi began to summarize the lesson of this time, "First of all, the letter from the Nanyang County Mansion was transmitted back to Nanyang, and after Zheng Miao got the news that Sima Chang had changed the title of King of Shunyang, Zheng Miao captured this news and became a tool for him to deal with Kewu. ”
"He found a way to delay the entry of Shunyang Dixin, and briefly blocked the information exchange between Shunyang County and the outside world."
Immediately afterwards, he mobilized his subordinates lurking in various parts of Shunyang to publicize the affairs of the king of Shunyang, and instigated the villagers to come to the other courtyard to pick quarrels and provoke trouble. If it weren't for the presence of Brother Bu that day, it is unimaginable what the consequences of the four spies hidden in the villagers would be. ”
"Kewu, the villagers are innocent, but they are easily seduced. Even if you are an adult, surrounded by hundreds of emotionally angry people, the consequences are unpredictable. You are still young, and you must do a good job of guarding in the future. Zheng Sheng bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and the scene of being surrounded by the people really made Zheng Sheng very palpitating. He will definitely remember it in the future.
"Then, that yellow boy took the opportunity to sneak into the secret room, did he steal any secret recipe, Kewu, have you counted it?"
Zheng Sheng shook his head, "There should be something." ”
"Then you'll take a look later." Master Qiu sighed. "If the secret method is stolen, it will also be very troublesome."
