Huang Ke looked at the two people who got up with a smile, he was not surprised by the jade pendant that appeared on the table, "Shizi, you see, that jade pendant is a token from Zheng Meng to this spy Ma Hongshu." This jade pendant is Zheng Ming's beloved thing, I will never admit that I am wrong! ”

Huang Chongru took a step forward, "No, this jade pendant ......"

Huang Ke said sharply: "The rebel Zi Xiu has to defend himself, you have done such a thing, you don't need to say more!" ”

Huang Chongru took two steps back in great pain and did not speak again.

Zheng Sheng is a little dissatisfied, does the criminal still have the right to defend himself? What's more, this is his own son, does he need to be so harsh? But listening to Huang Chongru's meaning, is he going to defend Ma Hongshu? It's getting more and more fun.

Zheng Sheng looked at the jade pendant and was not impressed. He looked back at Wang Zhong, who took a closer look at the jade pendant and said softly: "Shizi, this is indeed Young Master Luo's beloved thing. ”

Zheng Sheng looked at Ma Hongshu, "Brother Ma, what do you say?" ”

Ma Hongshu said helplessly: "If I say that this jade pendant is the Huang family's father and son's thing, it was brought by Huang Chongru, and it is really not mine, will you continue to doubt me?" ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, this scene is really a little chaotic now, what is the relationship between these three people? Who is in league with whom?

"If I am a spy in Mr. Huang's mouth, what does the prince plan to do with me?" Ma Hongshu asked.

Zheng Sheng thought about it, the people of the King of Shunyang, what else could he do? What's more, a spy like Ma Hongshu can't detect anything at all, "Let's get rid of you." ”

Ma Hongshu sighed lightly: "Drive away? I'm penniless, and I can't move an inch. He turned his head, "I said before that I am from Hanoi, Sizhou. ”

Huang Ke stopped laughing, he realized that this was the only loophole in his plan, and he didn't know who Ma Hongshu was.

And now Ma Hongshu has no fear, which clearly proves that his identity is enough to clear this suspicion. Was his luck really that bad? Ma Hongshu will be a scholar with a lot of background?

"Zheng Shizi, do you remember Si Xian who appeared in Qingzhuling at the end of Taikang's seventh year?"

Of course Zheng Sheng remembers.

Qiu Fuzi also smiled: "Oh? Could it be that Si Shaolang and Ma Shaolang know each other? ”

Ma Hongshu continued: "Yes, he is my seventh brother. When he returned home, he praised the prince, which made me very curious. So, I also came to this Qingzhuling to see it myself. ”

"I came here privately, and I didn't intend to alarm the government, so I haven't identified myself."

Zheng Sheng opened his mouth and said the point! Kiss! Who the hell are you?

"I actually have the surname Sima and my name is Hongshu, so I took the pseudonym of Ma Hongshu."

Zheng Sheng continued to complain in his heart, Sima Xin? Who is this man? Zheng Sheng seems to have some impression of this person, who is it? Zheng Sheng couldn't think of it for a while.

But Qiu Fuzi and the others already knew who he was, and everyone hurriedly saluted him again, "It turns out that it is His Majesty Xinye Gong!" ”

Ma Hongshu, or Sima Xin, replied respectfully: "I'm still going out on patrol in private, you don't have to be polite." ”

Speaking of which, Zheng Sheng finally came back to his senses, this guy really had a relationship with Zheng Ming, and Zheng Miao wanted to "hook up", isn't it the big brother of this product? Sima Chang also gave him a lot of land, this Comrade Ma Xin Sima Hongshu of Xinye County Company. Zheng Sheng thought with resentment: Could it be that Sima Xin was really sent by his eldest brother to see how delicious his "fat" was?

As a result, Huang Ke has given up, "It's not a crime of war, and it's not my insufficiency!" ”

I really want to be white. A farce is over, and things are completely different.

Qingzhuling wanted to receive Sima Xin, the grand duke of the royal family, but Zheng Sheng had no experience at all. Fortunately, Sima Xin did not intend to put on the throne of the prince, as he said, he only visited in private, and had no intention of "disturbing the people". Then, Sima Xin went to the study of the small courtyard, and Qiu Fuzi and Zheng Sheng accompanied him to talk. Of course, it was mainly Qiu Fuzi and Sima Xin who said that Zheng Sheng was responsible for listening.

Zheng Sheng felt that his position was very embarrassing, watching that it was getting late, his Chinese New Year's Eve plan was about to start, but now that Qingzhuling had one more county duke, he had to make a lot of additional arrangements. Although people say they don't care, can they treat Sima Xin as Ma Hongshu, the scholar who broke his foot?

The kings are already arranging this.

In this way, this Chinese New Year's Eve party was originally an internal and family-style gathering in Qingzhuling, and it became an external socialization.

But thinking about the fireworks he was going to set off tonight, it seems that it is not a bad thing to have Sima Xin involved, at least, this prince can help him promote fireworks in high society, right?

Zheng Sheng was absent-minded, and Sima Xin was also a little embarrassed. In the matter of Huang's father and son, he didn't care about the follow-up results.

Sima Xin came to Shunyang, originally wanting to see Qingzhuling and Zheng Sheng from the perspective of an ordinary person. As a result, there were many changes along the way, and things finally became what they are now.

Sima Xin felt that he was a little "over", and since he was taken on this road by his seventh brother, it has always been very unsmooth. In fact, when he showed his identity and went to the government, all the troubles were easily solved. But there is a paranoia factor in his bones.

Thankfully, he had achieved his goal.

Qingzhuling saw it, and Zheng Sheng also got to know it. Sima Xin's interest in Zheng Sheng is not particularly strong. Sima Xin is well-informed, and he has seen a lot of such an excellent young man like Zheng Sheng. Even better than Zheng Sheng, there are many people.

And if there is anything about Zheng Sheng that makes him unforgettable, there is really nothing.

It turned out that his seventh brother was really just deliberately provoking him, in order to get him, a twenty-year-old man who had never been out of the house much.

In the embarrassing atmosphere, Wang Zhong finally reappeared.

He said to Zheng Sheng: "Shizi, the outside is ready. ”

Zheng Sheng stood up, moved his stiff limbs slightly, and asked, "It's almost time, the bonfire is lit?" The dumplings are also cooked, right? ”

Wang Zhong nodded, glanced at Sima Xin, and hesitated: "Shizi, there are already more than 100 villagers outside, and there are a lot of people, do you want to restrict it." ”

Wang Zhong's worries are not unreasonable, although Sima Xin's identity has not been exposed, but after all, this identity is too heavy, in case any of the hundreds of villagers gathered accidentally collided with him, the Zheng family can't afford the consequences!

Zheng Sheng also immediately thought of this level.

However, Sima Xin smiled generously and said, "Steward Wang, it's okay. You just let me be Ma Hongshu during the day to arrange it. ”

Wang Zhong looked at Zheng Sheng and Qiu Fuzi, and Qiu Fuzi drank tea and pretended to be stupid. Zheng Sheng thought about Qingzhuling here, and there would be no accidents now, Sima Xin was not afraid, what was he afraid of, "Just go according to the original plan." Finish. ”

After Wang Zhong went out, Sima Xin listened to the voices coming in from time to time outside, and asked Zheng Sheng curiously, "Zheng Shizi, I don't know yet, what is going on tonight?" He only knew that Qingzhuling had activities tonight, but he didn't know what it was.

Zheng Sheng scratched his head, "Xinye Gong will know when he arrives." Zheng Sheng looked at the sky again, it was already dark, and several subordinates were busy lighting the lanterns in the front yard, "Master Qiu, Xinye Gong, you sit quietly, wait a while, I'll go out and have a look first." ”

After speaking, Zheng Sheng walked out of the study.

He let out a sigh of relief, Nima, he was caught off guard and met the princes and clans of the Jin Kingdom, and he was unprepared.

Is this guy a participant in the Rebellion of the Eight Kings? He is a county magistrate, and it seems that he is not qualified enough. But Zheng Sheng also understands that the rebellion of the eight kings must not only involve eight princes, but also have many subordinates.

Zheng Sheng's sense of Ma Hongshu is not bad, although it is a little rigid, people who follow the rules will never be unhappy, so Zheng Sheng even moved his "love for talent" before.

But Ma Hongshu is Sima Xin, and Zheng Sheng feels that this person is very bad.

After all, what I saw in film and television dramas before, the ancient princes and grandsons were too impressed by Zheng Sheng, and such a respectful person like Sima Xin made Zheng Sheng feel very strange.

But Qiu Fuzi and Sima Xin are very compatible. Zheng Sheng thought about the topic that Qiu Fuzi and Sima Xin were talking about just now, and it seemed that he had not left Sima Jun, Sima Xin's father.

Thinking of Qiu Fuzi's admiration for Sima Jun before, and Sima Xin seemed to respect his father very much. So the two who hated to see each other late, the sky and thunder stirred the earth, and they naturally chatted very well.

Zheng Sheng muttered, in fact, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, this old man wouldn't want to use him as a pedal and run to the name of Xinye Gong, right?

Zheng Sheng frowned and went out of the door, bumping into Qing'er and Liu Wei'er.

But Qing'er ignored him and pulled Liu Wen'er directly into the house. Liu Wei'er glanced at Zheng Sheng, greeted him with a smile, and left together.

Zheng Sheng grinned angrily, and the little maids became more and more disagreeable! Especially that Qing'er!

Zheng Sheng thought about it, he also needed to meet Mrs. Wang first, so he turned around and walked into the inner courtyard.

At this time, Mrs. Wang was talking to Liu Wei'er. When Zheng Sheng came in, panic flashed on Liu Wei'er's face, and she immediately shut up and stopped talking.

"What do you say?" Zheng Sheng was very curious, what other secrets would she hide from him to tell Mrs. Wang? Zheng Sheng watched her face turn from red to white and then red, and it was even more strange that they had just talked.

"Ma Hongshu is really the king of the new wilderness?" Mrs. Wang also seemed a little embarrassed, and she asked about it.

Zheng Sheng replied seriously, "Sima Xin is not the king of Xinye, he is the prince of Xinye County. ”

"The county prince who has sealed nearly 2,000 households and is the king of the same county, it is not an exaggeration to call him the king of Xinye! I really didn't expect that this kid actually came to Shunyang to play by himself. ”

Zheng Sheng rolled his eyes, "Mother, Sima Xin was born in Tai Shizhong. Zheng Sheng's implication is: He is about twenty, you are only thirty, do you call him a child to call yourself too old!

Mrs. Wang was stunned, she really hadn't thought about it, but when she thought of it, Mrs. Wang felt that it was really like this! Thinking of seeing a stubborn, child-like young man limping in the snow in the carriage that day, Madame Wang immediately wondered if Zheng Sheng would one day walk as lonely as he did.

This is the reason why Mrs. Wang picked up Ma Hongshu and got into the carriage.
