"Huang Chongru?" Zheng Sheng was stunned. Of course he knew this man, but he hadn't seen him for years. He met many people in Zheng's Academy, and Huang Juan and Huang Chongru were two of them.

They are the sons of Mrs. Huang's younger brother Huang Ke, Zheng Ming's mother, and compared to the unruly Huang Juan, Huang Chongru is inconspicuous in that small gang.

As Huang Juan's cousin, he silently followed behind Zheng Yang and Huang Juan. His grades are average, and he is silent and silent, except for the bullying of Zheng Shang that time, Huang Chongru's performance is a little worse. Overall, he's a fairly honest big kid.

This is the impression that Huang Chongru left on him. Zheng Sheng was silent for a while, "Take him back to Qing Meiju, and don't leak the news that he has caught someone to the outside world for the time being." ”

Zheng Sheng let out a sigh, "I'll change my clothes and then go see him." ”

The scholars who hid back in Qing Meiju saw Zheng Sheng coming in safe and sound, and Shi Liang came over and said sharply: "Shunyang County is too incompetent!" Someone actually used a bow and crossbow to hurt Tinghou Shizi on the street! I'm going to report this matter to the Ministry of Officials and the Left Servant to Master Wang! ”

Zheng Sheng arched his hand to Shi Liang, "Thank you Shi Gongzi for your words." ”

Shi Liang didn't care, "Zheng Shizi is agile, I don't speak, I must be able to dodge." No thanks, it's just a trifle. ”

Then, Shi Liang repeatedly explained that he was going to report to the court about the security of Shunyang County.

Zheng Sheng wanted to go upstairs to change clothes, so he was separated from him, and Zheng Sheng thought about how to repay Shi Liang for this life-saving grace.

Although Shi Liang's attitude towards him changed quickly, Zheng Sheng was very surprised.

This time, although it was just in time, after all, it was Shi Liang who first opened his mouth to remind him that the trajectory of the arrow was aimed at his head. Zheng Sheng really didn't know if he hadn't been reminded, but after hearing the crossbow, he could dodge the arrow.

There is kindness to repay kindness, and there is revenge to revenge.

Zheng Sheng decided to tell him the next time he met Zheng Wen that when he did business with the Shi family, he could let him make more profits.

Then, after Zheng Sheng changed his clothes, he went downstairs to see Huang Chongru in the firewood room in the backyard.

Ren Ji drove all the people of Qing Meiju to the front, surrounded the firewood room, and Huang Chongru was closely watched by more than ten people, and it was impossible to escape.

Zheng Sheng looked at Huang Chongru who was tied to a wooden chair outside the door, his face was as calm as water.

Huang Chongru's appearance has changed a little from a few years ago, he has grown up a little, his face has faded childishly, seventeen or eighteen years old, he should be the most energetic age of a person, but Zheng Sheng feels as if he is twenty years older.

Zheng Sheng walked in, and Huang Chongru looked up at Zheng Sheng, who was unscathed, with endless disappointment in his eyes.

"You're going to kill me? Why? Zheng Sheng asked him.

Huang Chongru smiled and refused to speak.

Zheng Sheng waited for him to speak, but Huang Chongru lowered his head and stopped looking at him, closed his eyes, and was silent.

"Don't you say?" Zheng Sheng said in a low voice.

"Shizi, do you want to be executed?" Ren said viciously, "Let's be punished!" He is also the domestic slave of the Zheng family, and the government can't control the punishment of the domestic slave! ”

Zheng Sheng shook his head, "Huang Chongru is the son of Huang Ke, and Huang Ke can also be regarded as my uncle, can he be regarded as a slave?" Besides, there is no need to move the punishment. ”

Zheng Sheng looked at Huang Chongru, "Ren Zhi, you also go out." I'll talk to him alone. ”

Ren looked at him worriedly, and Zheng Sheng said, "You tie him with a rope, what else can he do?" Besides, I also learn martial arts, even if Huang Chongru breaks free, don't I even have the ability to escape from the house? ”

Ren left in disgrace.

Zheng Sheng stared at Huang Chongru, "You don't speak?" Don't say anything? ”

Huang Chongru seemed to have fallen asleep, he lowered his head, closed his eyes, and ignored Zheng Sheng.

"If you don't speak, I can only hand you over to the Shunyang County Government to deal with. Then you are the killer, the murderer who came to assassinate me. ”

Huang Chongru still didn't speak.

"Do you know the consequences of me doing this? Your origin, as a son of the Huang family, came to assassinate me. After the outside world spread, not only did the Huang family have no place in Nanyang, but ......"

"If you assassinate me, neither your father nor Zheng Meng can escape the involvement. Shunyang Mansion lost 10,000 stone of grain, and this matter will also have something to do with you! Zheng Sheng threatened him.

Huang Chongru opened his eyes and struggled vigorously, "I'm going to kill you, what does it have to do with my father!" You can't slander them! ”

"Slander? What happened to Li Cheng, the letter of Shunyang Di? Mobilize the villagers to besiege Qingzhuling, who wants to steal my things? Do you dare to say that Zheng Ming, your father and Liu Yu, a native of Shunyang, have nothing to do with each other? Zheng Sheng shouted.

Huang Chongru was silent.

"I'll stay in Shunyang honestly, and you will unite with outsiders to deal with me first." Zheng Sheng sighed, "Speaking of which, you are the son of Huang Ke, how could you kill me with your own hands?" ”

The anger in Huang Chongru's eyes disappeared, and he turned to a sad look, "You don't know, you really don't know?" ”

Of course, Zheng Sheng didn't know the reason, so he was curious. But looking at Huang Chongru's extremely sad appearance, Zheng Sheng was really strange.

"That's it," Zheng Sheng thought of an idea, "You tell me what I want to know, I won't hand you over to the government, let you go back to Nanyang, how about it?" Zheng Sheng felt that Huang Chongru should know most of the facts.

Huang Chongru thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I can tell you about Shunyang." And you have to make sure you don't talk about it! ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, "I promise, don't tell me what you told me." ”

Huang Chongru nodded.

Zheng Sheng thought for a moment and began to ask, "First of all, can you tell me, why did you attack me?" "Zheng Sheng can't figure this out, he didn't do anything hurtful, right? Let Huang Chong kill him with a bow and a crossbow first!

Zheng Luo dealt with him, and he always just wanted to intimidate and control him. It's the first time I've tried to kill him.

Huang Chongru took a deep breath, "My brother Huang Juan, he is dead. ”

Zheng Sheng was stunned, "Huang Juan is dead?" He remembered that Huang Juan was still running alive a few days ago, and many people in the Huwei camp and villagers were all over the mountains to arrest him, but they didn't catch him, and today Huang Chongru told him that Huang Juan was dead.

This is really unexpected news.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zheng Sheng continued to ask, although he didn't like this person, he was Huang Ke's sister-in-law after all. Huang Juan's death also seems to have something to do with him.

"Okay, I'll tell you. He was sent to Nango to do something, but I don't know what it is. Huang Chongru calmed down and said in a low voice, "Three nights ago, he arrived in Shunyang and found me. ”

By then, he was delirious. I don't know what he went through, it snowed heavily for two days, but I don't know why he showed up frozen all over. ”

"Then, he dictated, and I wrote it, and wrote a secret letter." Huang Chongru glanced at Zheng Sheng and continued, "Finish writing the letter." I sent the letter away, and when I came back, he was dead. ”

Huang Chongru's eyes were calm, "I know, we went to steal the things of the son, we were thieves, and we were beaten and killed. The world is right. What's more, he didn't die, he came back alive. ”

Zheng Sheng recalled Zheng Yu's report to him that day, Huang Juan was about to run, and the old fisherman Wang Wuyu knocked him into the icy river, and then fished him out with a net.

Zheng Sheng didn't know how people who practiced winter swimming felt in the icy river, and Huang Juan probably didn't have this habit. Zheng Sheng thought that Huang Juan came out of the river and drove the boat downstream, he didn't change into clean clothes? When the snow clears, the temperature is lower, and it is normal for Huang Juan to be frozen all over.

But being frozen to death was indeed somewhat unexpected.

Zheng Sheng was silent. Zheng Sheng thought that Wang Wuyu seemed to be pushed into the water by Huang Juan in the end, this old fisherman's physique may not be as good as Huang Juan, after he returned to Qingzhuling, he needed to remind Wang Qian and go back to care about his father's situation.

"My brother is dead, as an older brother, I want to avenge him! Even if his death was deserved. Huang Chongru said loudly.

Huang Chongru said so, and did so. Zheng Sheng was silent, he didn't know what to say about this approach.

"Then, I'm going to kill you. However, Shizi was really powerful and caught me. ”

Zheng Sheng remembered something again, "You had a helper yesterday, right?" Your helper is a person who seeks to survive in Shunyang. What is the relationship between these people and you? Also, who is Liu Yu? ”

These questions are the key points that Zheng Sheng wants to understand clearly.

"The prince also knows the way to survive?" Huang Chongru was surprised, "We have always underestimated the world. ”

Now that Liu Yu has run away, his business is not a big secret. Shunyang Liu Yu is the heavenly master of Shunyang's way of survival. This Liu Yu is very good at camping and doing business, more than ten years ago he was the poorest tenant in Shunyang, who couldn't even eat enough, and now he is the Gongcao of Shunyang County, with thousands of family fortunes, brocade clothes and food. ”

"Liu Yu is a Heavenly Master of the Dao of Survival?" Zheng Sheng understood, it turned out that Liu Yu and Shunyang's way of seeking survival were one, and many things could be sorted out in an instant.

"We started to contact and cooperate with Liu Yu the year before last." Huang Chongru continued, "This year, the news that a king has arrived in Shunyang was sent back to Nanyang by Liu Yu's confidant Li Cheng, and Cousin Luo immediately passed the news to Liu Yu. ”

"Liu Yu has made a lot of money in business over the years. Among them, buying and selling stored grain in Shunyang County is his biggest business. However, he has always been very hidden, after all, he can make a lot of money by buying low and selling expensive. ”

"However, there was a severe drought in Liangzhou this autumn, and food prices there skyrocketed. Liu Yu took the risk of selling all the grain in Shunyang County and all the grain he stored to Liangzhou. ”

Zheng Sheng knew about this, in August and September, the price of grain in Liangzhou was more than ten times higher than that in other places. Zheng Wen originally had a plan to go to Liangzhou to sell grain, but it was delayed because of the saltpeter mine.

Liu Yu also found out that he could make a lot of money here, so he took a risk and sold the county grain of Shunyang County!

"When the king enters the country, he must check the domestic income and expenditure. Liu Yu panicked, and he used tricks to delay Li Cheng's return. While dealing with the emptiness of the county warehouse. But the food gap of tens of thousands of stones was too great, and Liu Yu found that it was impossible for him to raise it in just one or two months. ”

"All, Liu Yu changed his plan, he wanted to get out of Shunyang. He made a plan for the fire in the county warehouse, and then he would take the responsibility for the fire in the county warehouse and the burning of the county grain, and get out and leave. ”

Zheng Sheng suddenly realized, it turned out that Liu Yu's plan was like this!
