Chapter 34: The Assassination Plan
Just when Zhao Ziqian was so sad that she was still messy, the child's father rushed back to Henan all the way. Eighty-one? Middle?? Wenwang ???.? 8?1?z??.? c o m
"Your Excellency, you're back." Hearing the report, Ma Erdan welcomed out of the inn with a happy face. "Well, how are things going without me these days?" Shen Chongming asked with a smile.
"My lord, you still can't believe it, on the third day after you left, the people who built the embankment were recruited, and all the brick kilns started to burn square bricks of one foot square, and the two-pronged approach, these days the embankment on both sides of the bank has been built for more than 20 miles, and it will definitely be completed before the spring of next year." The two of them said as they walked upstairs.
"Good job, the new Qincha will arrive in a few days, you quickly arrange for our men to lurk, gather the other people, and set off with this official in two days."
"Two days later? My lord, at that time, the new Qincha had not yet arrived, who was this stall handed over? Brother Erdan was puzzled.
"Let Chen Xiao keep an eye first, wait for Qin Cha to arrive, and then he will go south to catch up with us, there is Zi Qian here along the way, and our degree will not be fast." Shen Chongming commanded, then waved his hand to let him stand down, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Zixi, I'm back." Pushing the door into the house, Shen Chongming rushed to the bed with the soles of his feet, and hugged Zhao Ziqian, who was sitting at the head of the bed.
Xiao Biesheng is newly married, as a man, Shen Chongming is still very anxious. Without waiting for Zhao Ziqian to speak, she put a big mouth up and kissed it passionately, and her two hands were not idle.
"Wait, Chongming, I'm not feeling well." Pushing him away with all her might, Zhao Ziqian turned her head to the side while arranging her clothes.
"Oh, that's right." Shen Chongming suddenly understood something, he smiled, and grabbed Zhao Ziqian's slender hand, "Ziqian, clean up these two days, I will take you back to Shaoxing the day after tomorrow, are you willing to marry me?" ”
Zhao Ziqian lowered her head and didn't speak, Shen Chongming also said that she was shy, and said to herself: "You are so good, your father and mother will definitely like you, and then we can be together justifiably, should you give me a child at that time." ”
It's okay not to say it, but Zhao Ziqian was even more sad when she said this. I've been worrying about this for the past two days, and I want to beat the flesh and bones off my belly several times, but I can't do it when it comes to the end. But with him, he was even more ruthless in attacking Shen Chongming.
"Zi Qian, what's wrong with you?" Shen Chongming finally saw that something was wrong, after leaving for such a period of time, it stands to reason that she should be very happy to see herself, how could she be depressed?
Zhao Ziqian smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, I just came back from the capital, I haven't eaten yet, I'll cook a few side dishes for you today." ”
Shen Chongming was overjoyed, but he had never tasted Zi Qian's cooking skills, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to help, and the two of us will work together to create a loving meal." ”
Zhao Ziqian was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "Nonsense, the gentleman is far away from cooking, how can you go to the kitchen." Saying that, he kissed Shen Chongming and went out with a fragrant breeze, no matter what, let's be a wife for a few days with peace of mind.
After two days of busy work, everything was arranged, and someone was sent to the post station to ask for a carriage, and a group of dozens of people left the inn where they had lived for several months.
"Look, my lord!" As soon as he got out of the city gate, the second brother who opened the road in front of him let out an exclamation, Shen Chongming immediately stepped forward to take a look, and he was also stupid there, and the black pressure outside the city was full of people.
"Lord Shen, the old man represents tens of thousands of villagers, and he has kowtowed to you." An old man trembled in front of Shen Chongming with the support of several young people, and after saying that, he fell to his knees and kowtowed to Shen Chongming.
"Old man, what is this doing, get up quickly." Shen Chongming hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and quickly stepped forward to help the old man up.
"My lord, if it weren't for you, I don't know how many people would starve to death in this catastrophe in Ningling County. The old decay is loved by the villagers, and on behalf of them, they will kowtow to you a few times. As he spoke, he knelt down again.
"Never. Old man, this is all within the official's responsibility, if you talk about kindness, this is also the kindness of the court. Shen Chongming helped the old man and said, he also sighed in his heart, the people are so simple, as long as you do your part well, they will be grateful to you, if you do more, maybe they will worship you like a god.
Seeing that Shen Chongming didn't let go, the old man had no choice but to nod and say: "There are no good things in the Zhuang family, these are all gifts prepared by the villagers for adults after the old decay, and please don't shirk it." As he spoke, he waved his hand at the young men behind him.
A few large baskets of things, mostly eggs. Etiquette is light and affectionate, although this thing is not worth a few dollars, but it is not an easy thing to gather so many after the catastrophe.
Shen Chongming knew in his heart that if he didn't accept this thing, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave today. Thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Okay, the folks' hearts have been accepted by the official, thank you for your love, I hope that from now on, the people of Henan will be able to live in Kangtai and never have disasters." As he spoke, he bowed to the crowd in the distance.
Zhao Ziqian, who was sitting in the car, looked at this scene, and the thoughts in her heart were shaken again, no matter what, to be loved by the people like this, Chongming must be a good official, is he really going to take his life for his own personal vendetta, and he is also the father of the child, he is really ruthless!
Thinking about it, the thoughts of the previous days gradually became clear, let him go, leave him.
One step and three times, say goodbye to the folks. Brother Erdan is an emotional person, and rubbed his red eyes, "My lord, my subordinates really don't want to leave here." ”
"Then you go back and exchange Chen Xiao for you." Shen Chongming glanced at him and said, what are you doing with so much sentimentality, there are many big things waiting for everyone to do.
"Hehe, no need, the subordinates are saying that after leaving the adult, the subordinates really don't know what to do." Brother Erdan sneered, for fear that Shen Chongming would not let him go, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "My lord, the weather is getting colder, I'm afraid that I will have to find a place to settle down in one night, my subordinates have already arranged all the journey, and I ask the adults to take a look and see if it works." ”
As he spoke, he was a little embarrassed and took out a piece of paper from his arms. With the rise of his status, Brother Erdan has deeply experienced the pain of illiteracy, and he has worked hard these days, and two Jinyi Wei subordinates have taught him to write every day when he is busy with errands.
The so-called hard work pays off, these days have persevered, I have been able to know hundreds of ordinary words, there are things that need to be recorded, and I will pick up the pen and write a few in general, and I will inevitably be complacent in my eyes.
Shen Chongming took it and couldn't help laughing, not to mention the typos, which took up most of the space, and the crooked handwriting alone made people laugh.
"Ahem, yes, just do as you say." Shen Chongming nodded and said, casually returning the paper to Brother Erdan, who looked expectant.
"My lord, what do you think of the writing of your subordinates, is it vigorous and powerful, and it gives people a refreshing feeling?" Seeing that Shen Chongming couldn't praise himself, Brother Erdan couldn't help but ask.
Shen Chongming was stunned and couldn't help laughing. "Yes, yes, yes, not only that, your word also gives people a feeling of spring breeze."
"Really, don't say it, this subordinate really hasn't appeared, it's better for your eyes." Brother Erdan gave a thumbs up and praised, praised Shen Chongming, and even elevated himself.
Shen Chongming smiled, "Well, that's it, you send a few people to go to the front to find out where to live, let's hurry slowly, and we can arrive in the evening." ”
"Shen Chongming has returned south?" Hearing the report, Cai Wenyuan, who was actively planning a new plan to assassinate Shen Chongming, couldn't help frowning.
"Exactly. Shen Chongming left Ningling County this morning, but the people nearby rushed to see him off, and the scene was very spectacular. Gu Shoucheng bowed and said.
"What is he going to do when he goes south?" Cai Wenyuan frowned and muttered to himself. "Protector of the Dharma, Shen Chongming returned to Beijing a few days ago, it must be for Zheng Sihai's affairs, maybe this time he suddenly went south to avenge Zheng Sihai, we have to guard against this." Ma Vulture said with a fist clenched.
"That's right, protect the law, Zhou Feiyong from the capital, it turns out that Zheng Sihai's eldest disciple Xiong Dabiao is now also working hard for the imperial court, and he is also the admiral of the three major battalions of the three major battalions of Jingwei, I heard that even the dog emperor knows his name, which shows that the power is not ordinary. Zheng Sihai was killed this time, he must be eager to avenge his division, maybe he betrayed some news of us to Jinyiwei again, Shen Chongming is in such a hurry to go south. Selangjun didn't want Ma Wu to be beautiful, and as soon as his words fell, he hurriedly got up and said, the analysis was deeper, and he immediately suppressed Ma Wu Bald.
"Hmph, no matter what, you must kill Shen Chongming this time. Taking advantage of the fact that he was in a hurry halfway, there were not many guards around him, so many of us did it together, and there were only dozens of brocade guards. Ma Wu said viciously, just talking about not practicing fake tricks.
Cai Wenyuan nodded, and then shook his head, "Shen Chongming must have something to do with us when he goes south this time, but that's all about the assassination on the way." He's not stupid, maybe he's already set a trap waiting for us to fall into the net. ”
"Dharma protector, do you think highly of Shen Chongming, he has no reason to risk himself." Selangjun said boldly, in his opinion, Shen Chongming would definitely not let himself be a bait.
Cai Wenyuan smiled, shook his head and said: "Otherwise, it turns out that Shen Chongming is indeed among them, this person has some ability, and he has been a general, and his courage is not comparable to ordinary court officials, if it is not bad, he must have set a trap, otherwise with his mind, he would dare to go on the road with only a few dozen guards?" ”
Selangjun had nothing to say, nodded and sat there waiting for Cai Wenyuan to make a statement, looking at the look of the protector, it was obvious that he already had a new plan in his heart.
"You can't be defeated, you can only outwit." Glancing at his subordinates with a smile, Cai Wenyuan said word by word: "This time, Roy will come out, approach Shen Chongming, and kill him in one fell swoop!" ”
Then Roy was stunned, and the others were also dumbfounded, the Dharma protector is so full of this kind of ** method, has Zhao Ziqian forgotten this lesson from the past?
"This time Shen Chongming goes south, he will definitely return to his hometown to visit relatives and return to his hometown with honor, which is normal for people. And there are rules in the officialdom, when the time comes, Shaoxing officials will definitely set up a banquet for him to catch the wind, so as to get some benefits from it, and it is indispensable that someone dance to help the fun. So this time, Roy will definitely be able to get close to Shen Chongming, and when the time comes, he will give him a knife close to him, and this matter will be done. Cai Wenyuan said with a smug face.
That Roy's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but be proud, it seemed that he still had a bit of a posture in the eyes of the Dharma Protector, in this way, he would have to be close to him in the future.
