Some things are easy to check, some things may be difficult to find out, no one understands this truth better than Peng Shaozhang, there are guests coming to the door today, but this guest has not been to the door for many years, and he has not visited for many years and cannot be said to be a stranger, Peng Shaozhang is not a stranger, on the contrary, he is too familiar to be familiar, and the person who is not familiar with it is Cheng Minghu, Cheng Minghu and Peng Shaozhang often meet, and they meet when they meet in the court, and they rarely say anything.

Peng Shaozhang looked exhausted in front of Cheng Minghu, and his movements seemed slow when he even raised his hand to drink tea with a teacup, which was revealing a meaning to Cheng Minghu, he was already very old.

Some people get older and more refined, this is Cheng Minghu's only opinion of Peng Shaozhang, Peng Shaozhang pretended to be useless in front of Cheng Minghu, Cheng Minghu smiled slightly on his face, "Siqing has been in the court less recently, and it is difficult to meet everyone"

Peng Shaozhang's old face smiled lightly and replied, "Prime Minister, this is making fun of me, you should be very happy if you don't see me."

Cheng Minghu understood that he smiled without saying a word, and said with a faint smile after slowly tasting tea, "Dali Temple is such a big place, it's not a matter for Shaoqing to be busy alone, or take the time to go to Dali Temple to see."

Peng Shaozhang looked at Cheng Minghu with a smile, for no reason, how could Cheng Minghu care about how Zhu Xingkong did things, Peng Shaozhang looked at Cheng Minghu and said after staring for a moment, "Oh? Is the prime minister coming to the door for Shaoqing? It was for Adjutant Li, but if it was for Adjutant Li, it should be the Taishi."

Don't look at Peng Shaozhang's people who don't enter Bei'an, there are some things that should be known that will never be missed, Cheng Minghu held the teacup and stared for a moment and said with a smile, "Adjutant Li's affairs Shaoqing is thorough, and the deep temple Qing teaches that no one can be offended if he is really beautiful."

Peng Shaozhang smiled slightly, "Prime Minister, is this praising me, or Shaoqing?" ”

Cheng Minghu laughed, "It's all praised, only famous teachers have high apprentices"

Peng Shaozhang looked at Cheng Minghu calmly and asked with a smile, "I remember that the prime minister used to be a straightforward person, but I didn't expect that when I was older, there were many twists and turns."

Cheng Minghu sighed, looking cautious and cautious, and smiled bitterly, "Siqing has taught me that there are some old things that I don't want to mention, but Shaoqing has been a little reckless recently."

Peng Shaozhang smiled faintly, "I have heard about the prime minister and Shaoqing recently."

Cheng Minghu's eyebrows sank and he said, "Since Siqing knows that it is the best, he chose Zhao Liandu as a scapegoat back then, for the sake of the overall situation, because he is just a mercenary villain, and it is not a pity for such a person to die, but there is one thing Siqing doesn't know, Manager Wu left a secret letter to Shaoqing, maybe Manager Wu hated Siqing for staying out of the matter back then, and left a letter to think of using Shaoqing's hand to dig out the truth"

Peng Shaozhang frowned and said, "There is still such a thing?" ”

Cheng Minghu nodded slowly, "Siqing can ask Shaoqing about this matter, the palace maid of Jinxiu is also powerful, and she can fascinate the king and the king, but some things are in the past, this time I came to explain the benefits and disadvantages of Siqing and Shaoqing, fifteen years of mentorship and apprenticeship, maybe Shaoqing will listen to you, now that the peace talks are in place, it is really impossible to make extraneous branches"

Peng Shaozhang smiled, this smile made Cheng Minghu look upside down, Peng Shaozhang said slowly, "I remember I asked him a question on the day I received him, I asked him, do you know who you are working for, the prime minister might as well guess how he answered?" ”

What's so hard to guess about this, Cheng Minghu said, "Since he is a teacher of Siqing, he should serve Siqing in the future"

Peng Shaozhang smiled lightly, "I also thought he would say this, he didn't answer this question immediately, said to think about it, think about it for ten years, ten years ago he told me that although he was serving me as a teacher, he was working for Beishu"

"Beishu serves!" Cheng Minghu was quite surprised by Zhu Xingkong's reply, if he was an official in the court, he said that he was not working for Siqing, then he should also be working for Zhao Zong, Zhu Xingkong did not say Zhao Zong, he was talking about Northern Shu, although the difference between Northern Shu and the King of Shu is one word, the meaning is different.

Cheng Minghu was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that Siqing will allow him to talk like this!" ”

"Nonsense?" Peng Shaozhang's eyelids lifted to look at Cheng Minghu and asked with a smile: "Doesn't the prime minister know the king?" The king likes this kind of gibberish the most, doesn't he? ”

Of course Zhao Zong likes Zhu Xingkong's nonsense, working for Beishu doesn't need to cling to anyone, if you don't cling to anyone, you will be fair and strict when you do things, there are too few such people in Beishu, Zhao Zong needs such people to check and balance, how can he not like Zhu Xingkong.

Although Peng Shaozhang said that Zhu Xingkong gave him a reply, he also told Cheng Minghu that he couldn't control Zhu Xingkong's thoughts, and Cheng Minghu was of course disappointed in such a reply, "Siqing wants Shaoqing to act recklessly?" ”

Peng Shaozhang smiled indifferently, "Zhao Lian has already become an ancient, what can he find, he will be stable after working for a while"

Cheng Minghu was still worried, "Although Zhao Liandu is a villain, he is not stupid, I am afraid." ”

"Are you afraid?" Peng Shaozhang looked amused and said, "What are you afraid of?" Is the prime minister afraid of the dead and will talk? ”

Cheng Minghu said, "Of course the dead can't speak, if Zhao Liandu is like Manager Wu, what will he leave behind?" ”

Peng Shaozhang comforted, "What does it matter, even if there is nothing left behind without proof, who can find it?" ”

Some words, Cheng Minghu had to say, "Siqing doesn't seem to be afraid at all? Siqing is out of the matter has nothing to do with this matter, but back then, Zhao Liandu's trace came out of Dali Temple, and I had a chance to extinguish my mouth.

Peng Shaozhang said with a smile, "The person who spread the news is not strict-mouthed, I have been dismissed from my post and asked for the guilt, I can't see what other people's talking has to do with me"

Cheng Minghu sighed and said, "No news can come out of Dali Temple without Siqing's orders, I understand Siqing's reason for doing this, it's just... ”

Peng Shaozhang picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, Cheng Minghu saw that this was the meaning of serving tea to send guests, and Cheng Minghu didn't want to talk about some things, so he got up and said, "There is something I still have to say to Siqing"

"Prime Minister, please speak"

Cheng Minghu said, "People who act recklessly often don't end well, and Siqing must have seen a lot of such people."

Peng Shaozhang put down the teacup and didn't raise his eyelids and said, "Don't send it"

Cheng Minghu was not bored with himself, and left reflexively.

Cheng Minghu is not the only one who left, Li Wang also left, Li Wang is the person who escorted Lu Kai before, and the place where the hard labor lives is very bitter, bitter and smelly, and they all live in temporary sheds.

There are dozens of sheds, the night is dark, the shed is dense and Lu Kai is not real, there are more than ten people living in a shed, some are more crowded together, Lu Kai asked Li Wang to arrange it in a shed of seven or eight people, this shed is quite spacious, it looks like it is newly built, the more you go inside, the older the shed is, waiting for Li Wang to go, Lu Kai glanced at the people in the same shed, and the people in the stent stared at Lu Kai, and at the same time waited for the meal.

There are no beds in the shed, they are all rough mats, seven or eight mats are connected together as beds, Lu Kai found a corner to sit down, there is no sixth brother in this shed, Lu Kai has seen the sixth brother except for him, only Zhang Zhongping knows, Zhang Zhongping can't do this for fear that he will be negligent and only come by himself.

The people in the shed all had empty eyes, and they didn't seem to have any hope for tomorrow, and at the same time, they were mixed with the smell of sweat, Lu Kai didn't care about this, he just wanted to find the sixth brother.

This is the open space outside Shi'an Garden, there is an open space in front of the shed, tools are placed in the corner of the open space, there are guards guarding the tools, no one is moving outside the shed, although Lu Kai wants to find someone, he doesn't dare to attract people's attention, he must rest when he comes back from heavy work, who still has the strength to walk around.

"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang" Someone was striking the gong, the sound of the gong was unusually harsh and very sharp, and the people in the shed went outside as soon as the gong sounded, and Lu Kai followed the people in the same shed and walked away with the flow of people.

The pace of the queue can not be too fast, the front chest is close to the back like a snail slowly, the destination of the hard labor team is an open field, there is a guard in the open space with a gong is knocking, seeing that people are almost coming and shouting loudly to make people line up, the guards who do not listen to the command raise their whips, and the meaning of the guards is very clear, and disobedient people will naturally be whipped.

Lu Kai looked forward, his eyes were all the back of the head of the slaves, now it seems that there is not much chance of recognizing people, the laborers lined up without noise, there are five carriages slowly coming from a distance, the eyes of the laborers are all looking at the carriages coming, and the carriages are loaded with dinner.

Each carriage had three large wooden barrels, and when the carriage was pulled close, a guard stepped forward to open the lid of the barrel, and Lu Kai saw that the three wooden barrels were placed separately, water, rice, and cabbage.
