Chapter 21 Victory
The little junior sister disappeared, Zheng Xu died in the martial arts hall, and Liu Shouyou immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Bayi Chinese Network ? ? ?.? 8?1?z?If it were someone else, it would be impossible for him to be in such a hurry, but it was Brother Shen's family with relatives, he was now on an errand in Henan, and his brother failed to take care of his family, so he really didn't have the face to see him!
Without saying a word, he immediately sent someone to command the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and at the same time sent someone down the city wall to the three thousand battalions outside the city to find Xiong Dabiao, and now the Zheng family is gone, so they can only find him, the big disciple.
After all, it is the capital, although the Jinyi Guard directly obeys the emperor's orders, most of the dignitaries are afraid of it. But you can't make a lot of people in the middle of the night for such a thing, after all, there are still a few people who can't be provoked and can't be provoked, and when the time comes, Liu Shouyou is afraid that he won't be able to bear it.
The Five Cities Terracotta Division sent people and horses to quietly launch a large-scale search throughout the city, and naturally there will be no appearance in this way. But Liu Shouyou has no choice, even if he is in a hurry, he has to wait until dawn, after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the momentum is getting bigger, but he is implicating Brother Shen.
There is no way, the only thing to do now is to wait for Xiong Dabiao to come back as soon as possible, after all, he is a big disciple, he must know a lot about the enemies of the Zheng family, maybe there are clues among them.
said that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and less than an hour later, the disheveled Xiong Dabiao returned to the martial arts hall, his eyes glared angrily, his eyes were blood-red, and he was faintly on the verge of going berserk.
"Master, the apprentice is late, and the apprentice is not filial." Looking at Zheng Xu, who had been cleaned up and lying peacefully on the bed, Xiong Dabiao fell to his knees with a thud, lay down at the head of the bed and cried loudly.
Liu Shouyou was also uncomfortable in his heart, "Senior Brother Xiong, you have to mourn, now that the whereabouts of Master Zheng and Miss Zheng are unknown, what you want is to find them." Let's talk about what enemies Master Zheng has. ”
The trembling body suddenly slammed, and Xiong Dabiao, who had two lines of tears on his face, suddenly stood up, "Nothing to teach!" The two fists clenched, and Xiong Dabiao gritted his teeth and spit out three words.
Liu Shouyou's eyes flashed, and his heart suddenly brightened, Zheng Shanchuan, Zheng Sihai! If what is expected is not bad, Zheng Sihai is the protector who betrayed Wuwei Sect that Chen Xiao analyzed that day!
However, as soon as Zheng Sihai gave the list to Jinyiwei that day, Liu Shouyou would suppress this matter, which was just a gesture for him.
After a pause, Liu Shouyou asked, "Lord Xiong, then you may guess where Master Zheng is now?" ”
"Outside the city, the master is strong in martial arts, and once there is a fight in the city, there is nowhere to hide, so the thieves of Wuwei must be waiting for the master outside the city!" Xiong Dabiao said viciously, since they killed the master, then this matter was not intended to be good from the beginning, maybe the master and sister have already ...... As soon as he thought of this, Xiong Dabiao felt a faint pain in his chest.
"Out of town? Don't worry, Lord Xiong, let's take people out of the city to look for it! Liu Shouyou said with a cold face, if you are outside the city, then you can mobilize a large number of people.
Although the city gate closed according to the decree cannot be opened for less than five watches, there is an exception to everything, that is, those who want to go out of the city can be above the law, and Jinyi Wei is just such a group of people.
What was even more unexpected was that at this time, a message came, and the soldiers of the west city wall appeared with a hemp rope tied to the head of the city. Liu Shou gave an order, and the mobilized soldiers and horses of the 1,000 cities plus 200 brocade guards went out of the west gate in a mighty way, and the torches were everywhere, which was spectacular!
"My lord, there is a woman five miles to the southwest!" A brocade-clad lieutenant came to report. Without waiting for Liu Shouyou to speak, Xiong Dabiao, who had been silent and chilling, rushed out with his legs between his legs, and Liu Shouyou hurriedly beat the horse to follow.
Rushing to the place, the soldiers who were one step ahead had already surrounded the woman, and by the light of the fire, Xiong Dabiao saw that it was the little junior sister from a distance!
"Senior sister!" Squeezed away the soldiers in front of him, Xiong Dabiao, who turned over and dismounted, stumbled to the little junior sister, who looked sluggish, knelt on the ground and looked at Zheng Sihai lying on the ground without saying a word.
Xiong Dabiao also stayed there, and only then did he see that it was his master lying on the ground. "Division...... Father? Xiong Dabiao collapsed to the ground, trembling and stretched out his hand, thinking about helping Zheng Sihai wipe the blood from his forehead.
Liu Shouyou, who arrived later, looked at this scene, and was also stupid there, and when it was over, he was still a step slower.
"Senior sister, don't be afraid, there is a senior brother." Unexpectedly, although Xiong Dabiao's eyes were red, he did not shed any tears, but raised his head to comfort the little junior sister.
Holding her shoulders, the little junior sister reacted, looked up at her senior brother, and fainted. "Senior sister, wake up, don't scare senior brother!"
Henan, Ningling County.
At the beginning of October, the weather in Henan was getting colder and colder, and wearing the cloak that Yan Yumeng had sewn for himself, Shen Chongming took Chen Xiao and Brother Erdan to stand in front of the Beicheng Tower.
Putting down the clairvoyance in his hand, Shen Chongming nodded and said, "Well, it's okay." But to speed up the progress, seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, if the victims live in shacks again, I am afraid that people will freeze to death. "Not far outside the city is a newly built village, and most of the houses are about to be topped out.
"Don't worry, my lord, in ten days at most, all the newly built houses will be alive, and then we will start to build the embankment, if we don't start construction, we will miss the season." Brother Erdan said with some concern.
"Hehe, aren't more than 300 brick kilns about to be built? When the time comes, all these houses will be in order, and the manpower will be freed up, and the large square bricks used for dam construction will be burned day and night, and the distance will save a lot of trouble, and the construction will be very fast. Shen Chongming said confidently that he never fought an uncertain battle.
Recently, the matter of building a dam with square bricks in the south has begun to take shape under the leadership of Zhang Shangshu, and the voice of unified solidarity will reach the capital in a few days. If he really resists it, it just saves his own business, and the scholars in the world will scold this old man to death!
"My lord, the capital is urgent." At this moment, a Jinyi lieutenant hurriedly ran up to the city and handed a letter to Shen Chongming.
Shen Chongming smiled, and said that the news from the south had reached the capital, and Ouyang Jingzhi and Xu Jie couldn't bear it.
When I opened it, the smile on my face just now gradually froze, and by the time I finished reading, my face had turned purple and blue, damn it!
"My lord, what's wrong?" Brother Erdan saw that something was wrong and asked cautiously.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Chongming slowly put the letter into his arms, "It's nothing, things here should be done quickly, once the imperial court has completely approved the construction of the embankment with square bricks, start construction immediately." With that, he turned and walked down the city.
"Lord Chen, what's wrong?" Brother Erdan turned his head to look at Chen Xiao on the side. "I don't know, let's do an errand with peace of mind, maybe the adults will return to the capital in a few days, and you and I must do the things here."
Capital.
"My lord, you must be the master of this matter." Ouyang Jingzhi walked in with an angry face.
Xu Jie also frowned deeply, he had already heard the news, and he didn't need to ask to know what Ouyang Jingzhi was in such a hurry to come to. "Lord Ouyang, you sit down first, don't worry." Xu Jie comforted, looking at Ouyang Jingzhi's face flushed, it could be seen that he was not lightly scolded. are all Sven people, and it's good to be scolded for being so angry.
"My lord, those officials of the Southern Sixth Department made scattered remarks, and even said that the lower officials spoke out to obstruct Shen Chongming from building the embankment with square bricks for their own selfish interests. Now most of the people in Shilin agree with their views, so that the lower officials don't go out now. Ouyang Jingzhi's face was ugly, after all, it was not a good thing to be scolded by countless people in unison.
Originally, two days ago, several subordinates who were on an errand in the south came to inform him that he hadn't taken it seriously, but in just two days, things became evil, and first his concubine heard the little maids in the courtyard idle and discussed. Then I heard the discussion in the yamen, and when I went home from the yamen, I heard it on the street.
The small people in the market are not the same as the scholars, as long as they are not used to it, the upper and lower thirty-six generations are very likely to be scolded again. The messy foul language penetrated into the ears of Lord Ouyang, who claimed to be a Sven, and immediately made his chest full of anger. Not only him, but also the subordinates of his entourage stopped doing it, and two people immediately stepped forward to argue.
Knowing that the situation was unexpected again, the people nearby gathered more and more, and most of them heard about it, and when they saw that the two subordinates defended themselves, many people came out to scold at that time, and they came and went, and the two subordinates who were covered with saliva fled back in embarrassment.
It was only at this time that Lord Ouyang realized that the matter had reached the point where his reputation was at stake. hurried home and sent someone to the street to inquire about the news, only to know that it was almost a well-known place, and the source of the news was almost always from those literati gatherings.
After comparing it before and after, it couldn't be clearer that someone was organizing this matter, and it was Shen Chongming who didn't need to guess!
hurried to Xu's Mansion to seek countermeasures, otherwise in such a situation, this matter could not be done, not to mention, and it was possible for him to get in.
"The old man has also heard about this matter, the rumors stop at the wise, Lord Ouyang, don't worry." Xu Jie persuaded him with good words.
Ouyang Jingzhi was annoyed for a while, standing and talking without backache, and it was not you who was scolded. "My lord, can the lower officials not be in a hurry? The only thing that the officials of our Metropolitan Procuratorate can rely on is reputation, if they allow others to be insulted like this, who will listen to them in the future? ”
In the face of such a thing, Xu Jie also felt that it was tricky, and the rumors were together, and he couldn't stop it, especially at the current level, even if he gave a ban order, it would not help, but there was no three hundred taels of silver here, which was even more suspicious.
Seeing that Xu Jie didn't speak, Ouyang Jingzhi couldn't help but sigh, it's over, Shen Chongming won this matter for a while.
