Chapter Ninety-Four: The First Day (Part II)
Zhao Tong couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, this is an opportunity to see the king alone!
Zheng Meng smiled and nodded, "I also want to thank Lord Zhao for threading the needle." ”
Zhao Zhubo smiled, "I didn't help anything, Ziqing can succeed by his own ability." Therefore, the old man wished Zhao County Commander what he wanted. ”
Zheng Meng smiled politely, and then nodded meaningfully, can he only pursue the position of a county magistrate when he achieves this step?
Back at home, Zheng Miao thought about his plan and felt that there was nothing missing.
At this time, a subordinate came in and reported that the people of Xichengju had been unstable for a period of time, and it seemed that outsiders were stirring up trouble among the people of Xichengju.
Xichengju is the place where Zheng Miao settled the people who wanted to survive. This is a bargaining chip that he values very much, Zheng Meng clenched his fists and said sharply: "Check, catch the troublemaker." ”
Then the subordinates reported another matter: Zheng Yunchi brought a batch of goods from Shunyang just now, including a gift from Zheng Sheng to Old Man Zheng.
Zheng Meng asked in detail, feeling very strange, "The paper tube is stuffed with mud at one end?" ”
Zheng Miao didn't believe that Zheng Sheng would send Zheng Yuan a batch of boring things in such a childish mood. Zheng Sheng has never made a move, and Zheng Miao is very wary of Zheng Sheng's ghost tricks.
So he sent for it.
Zheng studied it carefully for half a night, and finally became convinced that it was a joke. Just like a child is willing to share his most fun toy with his peers, does Zheng Sheng think that this "firework" is his most "fun" thing?
Zheng Yuan and Zheng Wen were also confused by the fireworks sent by Zheng Sheng.
However, Zheng Yuan has a letter brought by Zheng Yunchi. In the letter, Zheng Sheng has already informed how to use fireworks.
"What exactly does Ke Wu mean? It's been such a long time, and he still lives in Shunyang! These days, it is enough for Zheng Meng to completely control the situation of the caravan! Zheng Wen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he pinned his hopes on Zheng Sheng for a turnaround, but Zheng Sheng only sent half a box of fireworks.
Zheng Yuan pondered for a while, then picked up Zheng Sheng's letter, "Just follow the method on his letter." ”
Zheng Wen was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and finally went down to arrange for manpower and did so.
On the last day of the 10th year of Taikang, the sun rose as usual, people woke up from their sleep as usual, and the new day looked no different from the previous days.
Ma Hongshu struggled for a long time, and finally decided to put down last night's incident for the time being and not say anything to Zheng Shengyan. After he got up, had breakfast, and went out to watch the guards of the Tiger Guard Camp re-divide according to one village and one village, and they stepped on the morning sun and returned to the way home.
Ma Hongshu was very emotional.
At this time, Huang Chongru also walked over, and he also looked at the guards with a complicated expression.
Ma Hongshu's heart moved, and he said something to Huang Chongru, a meaningful word, "Last night, I actually heard the sound of two mice squeaking and fighting outside the outer wall of the room, which made me quarrel all night. I want to wait for Zheng Shizi to find a rat after he is done, or rebuild the house, so that it doesn't let it fight outside the four walls, and I can't sleep anymore. ”
Huang Chongru couldn't help but jump in his heart, he was not a fool, and he naturally heard the meaning of Ma Hongshu's words - the secret conversation between their father and son last night was all heard by Ma Hongshu.
Hearing such news, Huang Chongru didn't have the heart to stay any longer, he hurriedly turned around and informed Huang Ke of the matter, "Father, let's leave quickly!" ”
Huang Ke asked him to repeat Ma Hongshu's words in full, and Huang Ke's mind calmed down a little, "Although he found out about our conversation, he didn't want to tell Zheng Sheng immediately, otherwise it wouldn't be Ma Hongshu who said this to you, but Zheng Sheng's people came to arrest people." ”
"Yes, he said that he would wait for Zheng Sheng to finish his work before telling him, this is to give us a chance! Father, let's find a chance to leave! ”
"Leave? No, instead of having the opportunity to leave, we do something else. ”
Huang Chongru said in surprise, "Father, you mean? ”
"We have to stifle the danger that exists." Huang Ke said coldly.
Huang Chongru was speechless, Ma Hongshu was willing to tell them that he heard their secret conversation, did not directly denounce them, and was willing to help them hide for a while. In his opinion, this is the greatest help Ma Hongshu can do for them.
But, do you want to take revenge?
"There's no other way but to keep our secret." Huang Ke said coldly, "It's decided like this, I'll think about the specific way!" ”
Huang Chongru is silent, let's find a chance to escape, is it really bad?
While the Huang father and son were discussing this matter, Mrs. Wang, Qiu Fuzi and others finally returned from Qingzhuyuan.
Zheng Sheng didn't say a few words to Qiu Fuzi, so he dragged him to the study.
Qiu Fuzi looked at the large stack of long strips of paper dyed red on the table, and he was furious, "Old man, will you become a craftsman when you come back to you?" ”
Zheng Sheng blushed his face and said: "Master, you write the best words, and you will naturally write the couplets and blessing characters for the New Year." ”
Qiu Fuzi was relieved, then brushed his sleeve to pick up the pen and ink, and began to wave the ink characters.
While writing, he kept reprimanding Zheng Sheng on the other side, "Your handwriting is too bad, you still have to practice your handwriting well if you have spare time in the future." ”
Zheng Sheng agreed, and quickly escaped from the study by urinating.
He went to the camp in Xishan, where the villagers of Lijia Village and Xie Zhuang were arranging bonfires according to the arrangement.
Then he went around the big kitchen, and he was happy with everyone's progress.
At this time, the cooks were already preparing for Mrs. Yuanri's food, and their main job was to make dumplings.
Zheng Sheng saw the little millet who was wholeheartedly adjusting the stuffing, and asked him, "Millet, are you going home?" ”
"People in Xinzhuang will come to Qingzhuling to celebrate the New Year with the prince, what else should I go back to?" Xiao Xiaozi said with a smile.
"All over here?" Zheng Sheng was surprised, he asked about it in detail, Zheng Sheng really didn't know that the people in Xinzhuang also planned to cross the river collectively to celebrate the New Year with him. The subordinates didn't tell him, which also proves that the people of Xinzhuang didn't greet them in advance, and Xinzhuang plans to make a surprise attack this time?
Zheng Sheng wanted to ask for more details, but Xiao Xiaozi knew that he was speechless, so he only shook his head and didn't speak.
Zheng Sheng thought it wouldn't be a big deal, as for hiding it like this?
A few years ago, Zheng Sheng's Yuanri activities were attended by only a few people from Lijia Village, such as Li Anjian, in addition to people from Qingzhuling, and later they brought their relatives and friends, which gradually became a collective activity in Lijia Village, and even nearby villages, such as Xinzhuang and Xie Zhuang, also had villagers bring their children to have fun.
Every year. Qingzhuling is as lively as a market!
But it was the first time that the people of Xinzhuang came over collectively. Zheng Sheng thought that his plan might have to be adjusted because of them.
Zheng Sheng was ready to adjust his plan, and the Huang father and son had already devised their plan.
How does Huang Ke plan to break the game? His idea is very simple, it is to frame him.
Zheng Sheng's biggest enemy is Zheng Ming, so Huang Ke plans to arrange Ma Hongshu as Zheng Ming's person.
But the biggest loophole in this method is Huang Ke, who is on Zheng Ming's side. Zheng Sheng may not believe it.
So, Huang Ke conceived an evolved version of this plan. Ma Hongshu is Zheng Ming's person, and Zheng Sheng doesn't believe it very much. But if Ma Hongshu is the person that Zheng Miao wants to contact the King of Shunyang, he is the person sent by the King of Shunyang to visit Zheng Sheng. As long as they operate it well, Ma Hongshu is probably speechless. Zheng Sheng also doubted Ma Hongshu's identity.
In this way, no matter whether Ma Hongshu leaves or not, he will say to Zheng Sheng again, what the Huang father and son want to do in private, Zheng Sheng will definitely not believe it.
Huang Chongru listened silently, feeling that it was a great plan, and he agreed to Huang Ke's arrangement.
In the afternoon, when Zheng Sheng was admiring Qiu Fuzi's calligraphy in the study, Wang Zhong came in with Huang Ke, Wang Zhong looked angry, and Huang Ke looked helpless and frightened.
Zheng Sheng looked at the two people with expressions on their faces, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you, what's wrong?" ”
Huang Ke walked in front of Zheng Sheng and suddenly knelt on the ground, "Shizi, my rebel son is not filial, and he actually colluded with outsiders to endanger Shizi. I don't have a long life, but he's still young, and I don't want him to go down the wrong path again. I have come to ask the prince to forgive him for his sins. Old man, I am willing to take it for him! ”
Wang Zhong said angrily: "Son, for the sake of Huang Ke, Huang Chongru can be forgiven, but the first evil Ma Hongshu must not be forgiven!" Even if he is the person of the King of Shunyang. ”
Zheng Sheng just hummed softly, he had to slowly brush his thoughts, what was going on with this horse? Huang Chongru and Ma Hongshu are spies? Huang Ke came to intercede for his son again? Zheng Sheng felt that his brain couldn't turn around.
Qiu Fuzi on the side was also stunned by this huge amount of information, Zheng Sheng hadn't mentioned Huang Ke's father and son to him, so he didn't think about the details: "That Ma Shizi is the person of the King of Shunyang?" We still have to be careful with him! ”
Zheng Sheng nodded, "What are they plotting?" Mr. Huang, do you know? ”
Huang Ke chuckled and said, "The prince will come with me and take a look." ”
On the other side, Huang Chongru walked into Ma Hongshu's courtyard as planned.
Ma Hongshu was surprised by his visit, Nima, I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, and your father and son don't hurry up and run, and still come to me to hang out?
Huang Chongru gritted his teeth and put the jade pendant that Huang Ke gave him on the table, it was a panicked plan, something that should have been quietly stuffed by him in a corner of the living room, but he took it out openly.
Then, he whispered the original plan of Huang Ke to frame him as a spy for the King of Shunyang, "Brother Ma, Zheng Shizi is on his way here, I told you the truth of the matter, and I hope you can leave here quickly." ”
Ma Hongshu was stunned, he finally had a conscience and wanted to save the lives of this father and son, who were also fallen people at the end of the world, but why!
Ma Hongshu suppressed his anger and said slowly: "If I escape, doesn't it prove that I am really a spy?" I have been falsely accused, I am innocent, why should I escape? ”
Huang Chongru was cowardly and speechless, he was in a dilemma about this matter, and obeyed his father's approach, which was for filial piety, clear grievances, and righteousness. For filial piety and righteousness, you can't have both!
Zheng Sheng finally arrived with people.
Huang's father and son, and Ma Hongshu looked at each other, and a strange atmosphere appeared.
