Chapter Twenty-Seven: Peach Blossom Ferry

"What did you say?"

Above the Li Mansion, after listening to Bao Yong's report, Li Shiqing almost didn't jump.

There is really something wrong with this Liang Zheng!

Even the boss of the weekly record is afraid that it is not clean!

Maybe they really have something to do with the Red Lady......

Could it be that he instigated Peng Zhanzhen to rebel against the Red Lady...... As a result, the East Window incident happened, so she borrowed Liang Zheng's hand to clean up the portal?

Otherwise, how can you explain that so many people in Peng Zhan Town can't beat more than 100 Liang Mansion generals?

How can you explain that Liang Zheng tried the red lady at night, and immediately got away?

As soon as he thought of this, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, Li Shiqing suddenly fell into an ice vault, and his whole body was chilled.

This matter was known to the red lady, since she has eliminated Peng Zhanzhen through Liang Zheng's hand, then the next one must be herself!

What to do?

"Sir?" Bao Yong saw that the other party's expression was wrong, and couldn't help but ask.

As soon as he spoke, Li Shiqing shuddered as if he was startled: "It's ruined, we're going to finish......"

"...... this?"

Bao Yong was stunned, and was about to ask more clearly, but Li Shiqing had already spoken again and expressed his concerns.

Bao Yong is his confidant, and he doesn't know how many unsightly things he has dealt with, so in front of Bao Yong, he naturally doesn't need to hide.

Who knew that after Bao Yong heard this, he calmed down, just kept a calm face, and kept pacing in the room.

"Master~"

Finally, when he walked to the seventh time in front of Li Shiqing, Bao Yong turned around:

"So far, only that person can save us......"

I don't know if I didn't understand Bao Yong's words, Li Shiqing's face was dazed, but soon, the dazed turned into shock, and the shock turned into horror:

"You, do you mean ......?"

"No heaven and no earth, no mother!" Bao Yong's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

The sky outside the window was as dark as a pot lid, and nothing could be seen, only a gust of cold wind that pierced the bone marrow, and the window was blowing with a straight sound.

"You're ridiculous!" I don't know if it was frozen by the cold wind, Li Shiqing trembled, his face was white and terrifying, "This is a rebellion!" ”

"There is no heaven and no earth, and there is no biological mother" - that is the incision of the White Lotus Sect.

I have a family and a business, how can I do this kind of head-killing business!

Bao Yong didn't speak......

He just rolled up his sleeves......

"You ......" Li Shiqing stood up unwillingly, but immediately sat down on the chair as if he couldn't support the weight of his body.

Because he suddenly found that on Bao Yong's arm, a bright white lotus was blooming demonically......

"Maybe I should reintroduce it." Bao Yong seemed to have changed as a person, "Bao Yong, the altar master of the Henan branch of the Lower Holy Sect." ”

"You...... You've made me so miserable. Li Shiqing's hands trembled, and he was almost speechless.

Bao Yong is a cronie he picked up, specializing in helping him deal with all kinds of things that are not on the table......

In other words, all his secrets were actually in the hands of the White Lotus Sect for a long time......

Faintly, Li Shiqing has already understood - today he has to promise and agree, and if he doesn't agree, he has to agree.

"Don't panic, sir, it's actually not a big deal...... If there are bandits everywhere today, Zhu Ming's Mansion will fall, and the imperial court has long been too busy to take care of itself, who still has time to care about your identity? ”

Li Shiqing: "......"

Bao Yong: "What's more, my Holy Sect has been dormant for many years, recuperating and recuperating, and now the masters of the sect are like clouds, once the sect leader does something, it will be devastating in an instant, at the time of this troubled era, it is the time for the husband to make meritorious contributions, doesn't the lord want to be crowned the king and worship the marquis?" ”

Li Shiqing: "......"

Bao Yong: "What's more, the old man was originally the governor of Shandong and the secretary of the military department, but he was not only imprisoned for three years for the crime of 'befriending close servants', but also reduced his post to the people. Don't you hate? ”

Li Shiqing shook slightly, but he didn't squeak.

Bao Yong is right, his real name is Li Jingbai, he is the governor of Shandong, Chongzhen was sentenced to "befriending close servants, and secondary, three years in prison, and ransom for the people" in the Wei Zhongxian rebellion case in the early years...... Can he not hate?

hates the heavens and the earth, and hates the emperor......

But he is also a squire on the rich side, this rebellion......

"Don't you want revenge?" Seeing that the other party was always silent, Bao Yong increased his tone and forced a step forward.

Li Shiqing was suddenly shaken.

The unbearable past was once again out of control in his mind......

And so, the flames of hatred began to rekindle a cold flame in the depths of his pupils.

"Liang Zheng covers the sky with one hand, and even the boss of Zhou Ji hides his dirt and ugliness for him, I'm afraid this clue has been broken......" Bao Yong looked at Li Shiqing's expression with satisfaction, "He still has Wu Dalie's dog official above him, if he doesn't join the church, he will rely on the master alone, how can this revenge be avenged?" ”

Li Shiqing: "Hmm. ”

"And the Red Lady," Bao Yong continued, "This woman has always been jealous and hateful, not to mention that we gave her such a big trap, and the master himself knows that she can let us go?" If we don't join the church, how can we survive this catastrophe? ”

Li Shiqing: "This ......"

"So joining the sect for you, there is a hundred benefits and no ......harm," Bao Yong said with a smile, "I'm trying to imagine, master: my White Lotus Sect is omniscient, and the secret eyeliner is all over the world, once the master enters the sect, he can use the eyeliner in the sect to find out the news, so Liang Zheng's shortcomings are still afraid that he can't find out?" At that time, a secret complaint will be reported to the state capital, and I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around? ”

Li Shiqing: "......"

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if this can't help Liang Zheng, once you have made great achievements and are appreciated by the sect leader, then you will help you and get rid of a Liang Zheng, isn't it easy to get rid of a Liang Zheng?" Bao Yong's voice seemed to come from the Nine Hells.

Li Shiqing: "......"

"And the Red Lady." Bao Yong said again, "The master has joined the sect, he is my brother in the sect, and the sect leader will protect you thoroughly, are you afraid that the red lady will not be able to make a female bandit?" ”

At this point, Li Shiqing had already sat up straight again.

Since it is difficult to ride a tiger today, it is better to simply give it a go, as long as you can get revenge......

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." He slowly stood up from his seat, "I beg the altar master to save me." ”

※※※

And on the other hand......

In the flower hall of the Liang Mansion, several stewards listened to Liang Zheng's relay, and looked at each other. After a while, Su Qinghe suddenly slapped his head and stood up:

"The old slave is really damned, now there is a ready-made merchant, no matter how much brocade silk there is, why forget it!"

"Huh?" Liang Zheng looked at him in surprise, "Who is it?" ”

"It's your father-in-law!"

"Uncle Yue?!" Liang Zheng was stunned.

What's going on?

When did you get married?

Why don't you know anything about it?

"It's no wonder that the young master doesn't know." Su Qinghe sighed heavily, "It's all my fault, I didn't talk to the young master earlier, and I almost missed a big deal!" ”

"What, what do you say?"

"Alas~ This matter has to start from the thirty-eighth year of Wanli." Su Qinghe sighed, "Then the young master hasn't been born yet." ”

"The thirty-eighth year of Wanli?"

"At that time, I didn't follow the master, these are all things that the master told me when he was dying."

"My father ......" was too shocked by the news, so Liang Zheng had to secretly calm down, and then asked again, "What did you say?" ”

Su Qinghe said: "The lord told me: Mrs. Nahui was pregnant not long ago, she returned to Beijing to report on her work, and rescued a scholar who was almost drowning on the way. The two went to Beijing together, talked about poetry and essays all the way, extremely speculative, and became close friends, and when they were drunk, they learned that Shen Juren's wife was also pregnant, and the two families agreed: if they were all boys, they would become brothers, if they were daughters, they would become sisters, and if they were a man and a woman, they would become husband and wife. ”

"This ...... Fingertips for marriage ......"

"I don't want Shen Juren to fail in that subject, although he has the heart to take the exam again, but his family has already exhausted his family funds for him to study, and he seems to be so defeated that he can't even afford to eat. The old man took pity on his talent, so he funded some. I expected him to have a livelihood, so that he could study with peace of mind, and take the exam again next year, but he didn't want this person to be a business wizard. ”

"Hmm."

"The lord told me: Later, he also inquired about it, and only then did he know that the Shen family was born to a young lady, named Shen Wanyue, who is rare in the world, because Shen Juren has no children under his knees, only this daughter, so he dotes on him very much, so that he can read and write. I don't want this woman to be smart and delicate, not only is she proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she has learned more than ten times more than ordinary men. After Shen Juren chose the imperial businessman, business became busy, so she stopped writing and needlework, and began to help with the business and relieve her father's worries. Moreover, Shen Juren has always been obsessed with the righteous deeds of the old man back then, and he is in a hurry to marry the old man. It's just that the old man keeps saying that the young master is still young......"

"Why is that?" Liang Zheng asked with some curiosity.

The ancients have always married early, and it is common for men to get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, if it is Chongzhen for five years, he should be fifteen years old according to time, how can it be ......

But when he saw Su Qinghe's sneering face, he immediately understood.

At that time, "Liang Zheng" was already a tyrant in Yongning. Liang Yuanzhi, since he is a close friend with the other party, it is naturally not good to delay other people's daughters.

Sure enough, Su Qinghe paused for a moment, and then continued: "Originally, the master didn't want you to know about this matter, so even I didn't know. Later, the old man was seriously ill, and when he was dying, he entrusted it to me: If the young master is promising, he will tell you about this family affair and give you a marriage, if the young master ...... Ahem, it's better not to say it, I'd rather let the Shen family choose another husband than let you harm other girls. ”

When Liang Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but secretly wipe a cold sweat.

My dad really doesn't want to see me......

"But now the young master is sensible and has become an official." Su Qinghe, who had been staring at Liang Zheng's face, hurriedly added, "The old man has knowledge under the spring, so he naturally ......."

"Let's not talk about that." Liang Zheng waved his hand to interrupt, "Tell me first, what does this Chun marriage have to do with the military uniform brocade?" ”

"Now the Shen family is an imperial businessman, and they have to handle a large number of brocade silk and silk every year." Su Qinghe explained, "So if we go to Henan Mansion and talk to the Shen family, I don't think they will sit idly by." ”

Liang Zheng stood up, paced a few steps in the flower hall, and looked out the window with blazing eyes: "It seems that this trip to Henan is inevitable." ”

"Then~ Do you want the old slave to take someone with you?" Su Qinghe asked.

"Nope." Liang Zheng turned his head and turned his eyes on the people present, "Let's let Xu Hu order a team of people to follow me, Yongning is not far from Henan, and we are not going to greet relatives this time." Recruitment is inseparable from the hands at the moment, and this is the most important thing. ”

※※※

The plan was established, and on the second day, Xu Hu ordered 50 generals, followed Liang Zheng Shi Ran along the official road all the way to Xiaoxing for the night, and looked at Taohuadu to rush there.

This peach blossom crossing west leans on the Gaomen Pass Patrol Division, and there is the Kundi Pass Patrol Division in the east, which is the only way for Yongning, Chongyang, Xin'an, and Mianchi to lead to Henan Mansion, and the travelers and merchants from the south to the north are endless, Liang Zheng saw that the ferry head was disturbed and blocked, and he frowned secretly, so he found a tea shed to rest, and sent the scholar with him to the Zhangluo ferry.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time and not seeing anyone, there was a stack of noises in front of him, and he was in groups of several people pointing and pointing there, mixed with the noise and help of the good deeds who watched the excitement, Liang Zheng followed the sound, but it turned out that his little guy was arguing with a boatman, who was in his early thirties, with a smile on his face, and kept begging for mercy:

"I'm sorry, the boat doesn't carry passengers today......"

"Don't fart!" The scholar sneered, "I've been back and forth more than once on this ferry, and I've never heard of this rule. If it weren't for my young master rushing to do something, he wouldn't have looked down on your broken ship! ”

"Master, please bear with me, the boat is really for people, please forgive me for the inconvenience."

"Even if someone charters your boat, you have to return it to me, and you don't ask who my young master is? That's the new chief military officer, and the Shangzhou government runs an official military aircraft, if something goes wrong, can you afford it? ”

……

Liang Zheng saw that his scholar was making a little trouble, so he hurriedly stepped forward to drink him, bowed to the boatman, and said warmly: "There is really something important, and it can't be delayed, can the old man make it convenient?" It's a big deal, we'll give you a lot of silver. ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of ninety-eight colored silver with a white and deep white background from his arms and threw it over.

When the boatman saw that he had made a generous move, his face suddenly blossomed, and when he was about to reach out to pick it up, he retracted his hand again, and stood there with a smile in embarrassment, and was making up his own mind, when suddenly a wonderful female voice came from behind him:

"Shopkeeper, why don't you sail yet?"

Liang Zheng looked up and saw a maid covered in Qiluo walking out of the ferry moored at the pier, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned:

It turns out that the charterer is actually a female dependent? It's not a bother......

He was retreating, and the boatman had already trotted all the way to the maid, whispering something, and the maid glanced at Liang Zheng, then walked back to the cabin, and not long after that, he walked out with a graceful smile, and bowed to Liang Zheng:

"My girl said that since the son has important things to do, he should naturally focus on official business, and if he delays the right thing, it will be ours. If the son doesn't dislike it, he might as well go along. ”
