Shunyang City is a small county town, but the geographical location is very superior: after the confluence of Danshui and Junshui, the river flows further east to Shunyang City.

The origin of the name Shunyang is that Junshui used to be called Shunshui, so this small town in the north of the river is called Shunyang.

When Zheng Sheng came to Shunyang, he did not immediately go to see Liu Yang, Wang Xiang and others. He lived in Shunyang Zuixiangju - this is the branch of Nanyang Zuixiangju in Shunyang.

Zheng Sheng waved his hand to let the chief go about his own business, he wanted to take a good rest to cope with tomorrow's banquet. Especially Wang Xiang, he has to deal with it more carefully.

However, Zheng Sheng did not have a good rest. As soon as he sat down, Ren Ji came in and reported to him: "Shizi, Guo Qiufang asks to see you." ”

Guo Qiufang is a subordinate of Bo Guo Yi, the lord of Shunyang County. The contact between Zheng Sheng and Guo Zhubo was mainly carried out through this Guo Qiufang.

Zheng Sheng thought about Guo Qiufang's purpose for coming to see him, and said, "Please let him in." ”

Ren Ji brought in a middle-aged man with a tall and thin figure, long sword eyebrows, long eyes, and a cold face, and he bowed to Zheng Sheng: "Zheng Shizi, it's been a long time. ”

"Mr. Qiu Fang, I entered the drunken fragrance house with my front foot, and you came to see me with your back foot. What the hell is going on, so urgent? ”

Guo Qiufang whispered: "I came today to do something about the Hu people in the capital. ”

Zheng Sheng was stunned, thinking that Guo Zhubo must be busy arresting people and solving the case now, and looking for him for this matter? Zheng Sheng was puzzled: "I'm not familiar with Shiduyi, I'm afraid Mr. Qiu Fang is looking for the wrong person?" ”

Guo Qiufang said in a low voice: "Shizi, I came here to invite you to go to Qingmeiju in the north of the city. My lord would like to invite you to a light meal. ”

Zheng Sheng was dumbfounded, another invitation? Or are they all going to Qing Meiju? However, Guo Zhubo's trip is even more difficult to shirk, "Okay, when?" ”

"Now. My family is waiting for the son. ”

"Now?" Zheng Sheng is helpless, it's almost dark, can't he change the day? This Guo Zhubo is also too anxious!

Guo Yi can't help but be anxious, as a local official in Shunyang, Guo Xian has been in the Shunyang County Boss Bo for nearly ten years, he has prestige and connections, and he is naturally prosperous.

But once the sky changed, Shunyang's inadvertent kung fu became a king's fiefdom!

It stands to reason that even if the king is in the kingdom and lives in his fiefdom. For a local clan like Mr. Guo, the king will only try to have a good relationship with him and will not trouble him.

But now, there's already trouble!

Di Xin lost his deadline, and Di Xin was robbed by Hu Ren for dozens of days! This is a trivial matter, and in normal times, the county only needs to make a show, catch a few Hu people and deal with it.

But now, it is the most sensitive period. The king of Shunyang hasn't come yet, and there is such a thing in the county? Di Xin is a channel to convey the important affairs of the imperial court to the state and county, your Shunyang County Di Xin has been robbed for so long, and you still can't catch the thief? The efficiency is slow, the incompetence is useless, do you want to do it anymore?

Zhao Lian Taishou has been unable to sleep all night lately, and he is worried about his official career. In my heart, I am naturally even more unkind to the bunch of "waste" under my hand! The first to bear the brunt is Guo Yi Guo Zhubo, "The matter is really known to the king, and he can't just go to work." Lord Bo is a Shunyang person, and he should think about future generations! ”

Guo Zhubo is also worried day and night, but these thieves are like sand in their hands, and they slip out of their palms without paying attention. In the past few days, there has been no progress in the investigation, which has made Guo Zhubo add a few more strands of silver hair.

It wasn't until Guo Qiufang told him a new situation: "Master, three days ago, Zheng Ren came to me and asked about Di Xin's missing date. ”

Mr. Guo Yi had a keen mind, "Zheng? Zheng Kewu didn't practice martial arts well in Nanxiang, so he asked Di Xin what it was for? ”

Guo Qiufang said in a low voice: "The specific reason, Ren Ji did not say clearly. However, according to the report of the people on the Nanxiang side, Zheng Sheng's side had an accident two days ago. ”

"Huh? Two days ago, on the day of heavy snowfall? ”

"Yes. On that day, hundreds of villagers were instigated to gather around Zheng Sheng's courtyard. Fortunately, Zheng Shizi handled it properly and there was no civil unrest. ”

Guo Zhubo took a deep breath, if it really becomes a civil unrest, there is no need to think about catching thieves, he will definitely not be protected! "What the hell is going on?"

"There are rumors that Shunyang has become the king's fiefdom, and Zheng Sheng is leaving Shunyang." Guo Qiufang whispered: "The people gathered and wanted to keep him." At that time, many rumor-mongers were mixed with the people and were also arrested by Zheng Shizi. Also, Zheng Shizi's courtyard was robbed that day. ”

Lord Guo's mind turned: "Could it be that the Hu people who robbed Di Xin and the rumor-mongers are in the same group?" So, are these people coveting Zheng Sheng's family property? But making such a big move, just to seek money? ”

"But Zheng Shizi's means are profound, he is very good at gathering wealth!"

"That makes sense!"

Just when Guo Zhubo and Guo Qiufang were discussing whether to ask for help from Zheng Sheng, he arrived in Shunyang. So, Guo Zhu Bo was in a hurry and asked Guo Qiufang to invite Zheng Sheng to come over and meet.

Zheng Sheng met Guo Zhubo at the Accord of Qing Meiju, Zheng Sheng could see that this old man was in a bad mood recently, and he was in a hurry!

However, in front of the younger generation, Guo Yi is still very good at holding the shelf, sitting on a comfortable wooden chair, he beckons people to serve the food: "Ke Wu, are you used to eating your own stir-fried food?" You might as well try the food of this Qing Meiju, which has a different taste. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, while Zheng's stir-fry has become popular in recent years, the imitation of peers is naturally indispensable. There are those who want to buy secret recipes, and there are also people who dig people directly, and there are naturally many people who have even worse means.

The same is true of this Qing Meiju in Shunyang, Zheng Sheng remembers clearly that Song Yiji, the talented chef in the second phase of the eighth year of Taikang, was poached by Qing Meiju.

Song Yiji is good at making light and delicious meals.

Although Zheng Sheng doesn't like this taste very much, Zheng Wen is very optimistic, because this is the type that literati like.

However, this delicate-minded cook actually left Zuixiangju. Zheng Wen also did not say anything about it to Zheng Shengxi.

Zheng Sheng ate the food and felt tasteless.

At the dinner table, Guo Zhubo made the matter clear, "...... Ke Wu, what did you confess to the thief you caught? ”

Zheng Sheng shook his head: "These people are only responsible for spreading rumors. Their leader fled that day. Perhaps, he knew better. ”

Guo Zhubo didn't believe it, and began to sigh for sympathy.

Li Cheng said that he heard a loud noise next door that day before going out. So, what about the other guests? You can't have heard it, right? Unless the Hu people have rented other housing. But that's unlikely, right? Zheng Sheng suddenly thought of a detail.

Guo Zhubo suddenly woke up, "Yes, I didn't find such an obvious clue!" Then, he hesitated a little, "It's been many days, and it's not easy to check!" ”

"If it's not easy to check, check it!" Zheng Sheng asked, "Uncle Guo, can't you tell which is more important?" ”

Guo Yi nodded, yes, if you don't handle this matter well, he'll be finished! It's really hard to check, but it's also to be checked!

Guo Zhubo left in a hurry. Zheng Sheng finished his meal slowly, thinking that it was time to fight back. Zheng Miao's move this time really embarrassed him. Zheng Sheng plans to help the Shunyang County Government this time and grab Zheng Ming's pigtails!

Zheng Sheng returned to Zuixiangju and began to think about the banquet, "In this banquet, besides me and Wang Xiang, who else is there?" ”

Ren said: "As far as I know, in addition to you and Young Master Wang Xiang, there are also Shunyang Shen's son, Nanxiang Gu's son Gu Daoyun, and ......."

"And a few clan children from Yizhou."

"Yizhou?" Zheng Sheng thought of Wang Xiang, "You're not talking about Wang Xiang, right?" ”

"In addition to Young Master Wang Xiang, there are also Shi Liang from Bohai, Luo Yu from Xiangyang, Du Xiu from Chengdu, and Li Xing from Qianren."

Zheng Sheng said, who are these people? He didn't know any of them.

"Shi Liang has the highest status among these people, and you need to be careful." Ren Ji paused, "This Shitong is the grandson of Gongshi Bao of Leling County, the son of Shitong, the captain of the shooting school, and the relative of Sima Chang, the king of Shunyang. ”

"This is also the Shi family?" Zheng Sheng has a headache, is he on the bar with the Shi family? "This person is the grandson of old Situ Shibao? Why did he come to this small place in Shunyang? "I'm afraid Liu Yang is not qualified to invite the grandson of a county prince like Shi Liang, right?

Shi Liang traveled to Jingzhou out of Beijing and got acquainted with Luo Yu. The two traveled to Yizhou hand in hand. Recently, he and Li Xing, Du Xiu and others went out of Shu from the Sword Pavilion and returned to Jingzhou along the Han River, Liu Yang and Luo Yu met each other, so they were able to invite everyone to participate in this banquet. ”

I see. Zheng Sheng was stunned.

"Luo Yu, the son of Luo Shang, you also need to pay attention."

"Luo Shang is the nephew of Luo Xian, the late Shu Han general, who followed the Jianwei general Wang Rongping Wu and sealed the Yiling Township. Now it's Runan Taishou. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, this person's identity is very similar to him, his father was made a marquis for his merits in the Pingwu War, and now he is a county guard - Zheng Tan is now promoted, but he is still in Youzhou, and he is the Taishou of Shanggu.

"As for Du Xiu and Li Xing. Du Xiu is the second son of Du Zhen of Yizhou Dazhongzheng, and Li Xing is the son of Li Mi, the Taishou of the late Hanzhong, both of whom are very famous scholars in Shu. The prince can make friends with them. ”

Zheng Sheng pouted, "These people probably won't play with a ten-year-old kid like me, right?" ”

"The son of the world wrote a thousand-character essay at the age of seven, who in the world dares to despise it?"

Zheng Sheng let Ren Ji leave, and he was very tired of associating with these scholars, Wei and Jin scholars, in addition to having the habit of being rich and extravagant, also had the problem of talking about metaphysics.

This is even more!

Zheng Sheng's time is not to waste himself in the clouds and fog with a group of people, with this time, it is better to practice martial arts!

When Zheng Sheng first arrived in the Jin Kingdom, he saw what the style of metaphysics was.

At that time, the four- or five-year-old Qing'er and the well-behaved Dongye beside him would recite two sentences of metaphysics.

Zheng Sheng listened to it with great interest for a few days at first, listening to Qing'er Dongye and listening to other people, but as a result, Zheng Sheng looked confused.

There is no nutrition, pretending to be mysterious, and fooling people is not at a good level. Far less exciting than 21st century fantasy novels!

Zheng Sheng then forbade the people around him to talk and metaphysics again.

Tomorrow's banquet will probably be a grand talk conference! Zheng Sheng was worried about his ears.

On the other side of Shunyang City, Shi Man, who was in his twenties, was crying bitterly like a child, "Childe, forget it if I am wronged, the son of his little pavilion marquis dares to despise our Shi family, this is unbearable!" ”

The young man sitting on the straw mat kept his eyes closed. Hearing this, he snorted and said, "I see." Zheng Kewu? I've heard of the name for a long time, so I'll see it tomorrow. ”
