Liu Zheng knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for the insufficient gunpowder prepared by the people who attacked him, and the miscalculation of the martial arts and intelligence of Wei Boyuan, Zhou Yun and others, Liu Zheng would definitely die in the sea of fire.

At the beginning of the fire, Wei Boyuan and Zeng Kaiyu immediately understood that regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, Liu Zheng, who was unconscious, rushed towards the road he came from, and used brute force to break out of a way to escape and ascend to heaven.

Fortunately, these people did not ambush the archers nearby, if there were archers nearby, it was impossible to say that a few of these heroes around Liu Zheng would have to die, and even he, Liu Zheng, might be killed by a hidden arrow.

Knowing that Liu Zheng was awake, Liu Chengzong came to Liu Zheng's bedroom as soon as possible, but he didn't say anything to Liu Zheng, but left when he saw that Liu Zheng was fine.

Now that Liu Zheng is awake, it is impossible for him to lie there anymore, after all, there are too many things in the city that he needs to deal with.

I got out of bed with my body propped up, got dressed and led people out of the house, and looked around the city to check the disaster, more than 200 houses were burned, and the situation can be said to be full of devastation, and you can see several burned houses in a few steps.

The more he walked, the tighter Liu Zheng's fist became, and the tighter Liu Zheng's teeth became, he knew that what happened this time suddenly turned his efforts during this period of time into ashes, and Qingzhou City died again.

"Pass the order down and take out the last 80,000 taels of silver in the camp for disaster relief!"

"My lord! That's ......."

Before he could say the rest of the words, Zeng Kaiyu closed his mouth, because he saw Liu Zheng's eyes staring at him as if they were about to devour, and his heart slammed into a sudden.

"Battalion Commander Zeng, you are usually so smart, why are you confused at this time?" Liu Zheng looked at Zeng Kaiyu coldly and continued: "The silver is gone, we will have another soon, or even more, but what about the hearts of the people?" ”

Zeng Kaiyu lowered his head and stopped talking.

Liu Zheng only said this and continued his previous words: "Camp Commander Qin, you quickly go and get the silver, hand over the silver to Wang Jiabin, let him come and go to count and appease the people affected by the disaster, can't let him be idle, as soon as he is idle, maybe he wants to add some chaos to us!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it!"

Qin Haiqing took the order and left, Liu Zheng turned his head to look at Zhou Yun again: "Camp Commander Zhou, you go outside the city to find the old craftsman Xu and Neng Feiyu in Xiema Village, and let them wait for me in the big tent outside the city!" ”

Zhou Yun nodded and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the city with a few guards, Liu Zheng walked around the city again, went to the palace to take a look, and found that the palace was as Zeng Kaiyu said, it was not affected, and the people who saw the six doors were also a little worried.

After watching at the door for a while, Liu Zheng raised his legs and walked into the gate of the palace, for Liu Zheng's move, the people behind him all showed a look of surprise, for the king of Heng in the palace, Liu Zheng has always treated him as if he didn't exist, others don't know, but they know the reason.

It's not that Liu Zheng doesn't want to see him, but he hasn't thought about how to deal with this prince who can only eat, drink and have fun, whether to kill or release, Liu Zheng has discussed with them many times, but he has not discussed a result, it is precisely because it is too difficult to deal with him, so he has always put him aside, as if he did not exist.

Killing and releasing will bring them considerable trouble, and now that Liu Zheng is going in, and he is still angry, Wei Boyuan and Zeng Kaiyu have a look of worry in their eyes.

Liu Zheng entered this palace, there was not the slightest anger in his eyes, but he walked around the palace as if he was visiting a garden, and then asked someone to take him to find those princes.

Since yesterday, Zhu Changshu's heart has been frizzy, his father has been a prince for three years, and he has been working hard for four years, Emperor Wanli finally remembered him, let him attack the throne, in order to let the emperor sleep peacefully, but also let him sleep peacefully, so as soon as he got the throne, he cut all the guards, and even the palace officials let him go.

But before he could enjoy the pleasure of being a prince for a few days, Liu Zheng rebelled, not only put him under house arrest, but also moved all his gold and silver treasures, and even all the Zhuangzi in his fiefdom became state, and not a single acre of land was left for him.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng didn't treat him well, although he was not allowed to leave the palace, and even the backyard was not allowed to go out, but the family and family, Liu Zheng did not move, his princesses and maids were still there, and Liu Zheng also sent people to his mansion every day to send chickens, ducks, fish and meat, eating and playing, and he was okay.

But since the moment the fire broke out the night before, all this changed, and as soon as the fire broke out, Liu Zheng's soldiers rushed into the backyard, not only drove his princess and maids into a room, but also got him to the cellar of the palace.

That night he was so frightened that he didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that he might be slaughtered at that moment, and spent the night in fear, and the next day when he got out of the cellar, he found that there had been a fight in the house, and many people died, because there were a lot of dried blood stains on the way from the cellar to his dormitory.

Although he was now in the dormitory, there were several soldiers with swords and guns standing inside and out, even beside his bed.

When he got up early this morning, he made a compliment, and then he was pressed in the dormitory by the soldiers, just when he was bored, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, listening to the footsteps, there seemed to be more than 20 people, and his heart suddenly rose.

When these people entered his dormitory, his eyes suddenly focused on the young and handsome man in the lead.

Although this person is young and handsome, he has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, a majestic face with a bit of meanness, and his eyes are as deep as the sea, which makes people unable to guess what they are thinking.

When Zhu Changshu looked at Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng was also looking at Zhu Changshu, dressed gorgeously, although his long hair was casually draped over his shoulders, he was unusually clean, his eyebrows were narrow and long, his eyes were big and godless, his nose was very large, his lips were also a little thick, his beard was matched with his gorgeous outfit, no matter how he looked at it, he looked a little like a monkey and a crown.

This is the prince of the Ming Dynasty?

Liu Zheng suddenly remembered the portraits of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty who he saw on Baidu in later generations, to be honest, this group of people is really ugly, the old Zhu family genes are really not good, except for Zhu Youji, none of them are like Han Chinese, most of them have the blood of some northern ethnic minorities, especially Zhu Di and his sons and grandsons, one is uglier than the other, Saihei, one is uglier than this one.

Although these people are very ugly, they are the emperor after all, aren't they? And Liu Zheng still agrees very much with the Ming Dynasty from the heart, whether they are ugly or not, after all, it is they who make the backbone of the Han people stand up again for more than 300 years.

Although Liu Zheng admired them, his knees were too hard, and when he saw Zhu Changshu, he didn't kneel, but arched his hand and said: "Subordinate Liu Zheng, I've seen the prince!" ”

It's nondescript, it's rampant! This is Zhu Changshu's evaluation of Liu Zheng's gift, and it is also an evaluation of Liu Zheng as a person!

However, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, Zhu Changshu got up and nodded, which can be regarded as giving Liu Zheng face, and also saving some of his own face.

"I don't know Liu ......" doesn't know what to call it.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng gave him a wake-up call: "My subordinates are now serving as the general of the Qingzhou Left Guard Battalion!" "This thing has pressed the position he hasn't gotten his hands on his head.

Zhu Changshu straightened his face and said, "Oh, I don't know what General Liu is doing when he comes to find this king?" ”

Liu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "My subordinates came today to discuss a deal with you, Lord Wang!" ”

"Buying and selling?" Zhu Changshu stared at Liu Zheng's eyes, then looked at the gauze bandaged on his forehead, and said suspiciously: "What deal does General Liu want to do with this king?" ”

"Wine ......"

……

When Liu Zheng and Zhu Changshu talked about wine, two people were also talking about wine, these two people not only talked about wine, but also talked about him Liu Zheng, these two people were none other than Chen Zeng and Chen Qing who rushed from the capital to Laizhou.

Last year, the emperor sent him to the east of the mountain (anti-harmony) to do the mine tax to collect the mining tax, and at the same time, he also sent Ma Tang to the mountain (anti-harmony) east to collect the shop tax, and in a year, Chen increased the annual tax of more than 4,300 taels of gold on the side of the Zhaoyuan gold mine, and the other mining taxes were equivalent to more than 179,000 taels of silver, which was good compared to the tax paid in the east of the former mountain (anti-harmony).

What about Kematang? Ma Tang is much more ruthless than him, and while collecting store taxes, he also sent people to rob the silver with open fire, and collected 150,000 taels of silver for a store tax alone.

If Chen Qing hadn't found Liu Zheng in the end and accidentally got 100,000 taels of silver from Liu Zheng, he Chen Zeng would have fallen out of favor in front of his master.

"Alas, this Liu Zheng is really filial!" After Chen Qing said this, he suddenly said: "Godfather, what did we not do for him this time, my son always felt no, not so, authentic!" ”

"Authentically?" Chen Zeng snorted heavily: "Can the tunnel be eaten as food?" Authenticity can make the master like us more? ”

After saying this, Chen Zeng snorted heavily and said: "You have to remember that in the palace, we are slaves, but outside the palace, we not only represent the master, we are also the master!" ”

"Since we are the masters, we can't get used to them too much, although those magistrates, we didn't sell them to him, and they became our people, but he Liu Zheng is also our people, can we still lose him? Besides, didn't we give him the Qingzhou Left Guard Battalion? Is he not satisfied with a general? ”

Hearing what the godfather said, Chen Qing hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what the godfather said is right, you can't get used to them too much!" After saying this, Chen Qing's eyes turned again and said: "Godfather, that Liu Zheng, there is a baby in his hand, shall we let him ......?"

"Baby? What baby? As soon as he heard the baby, Chen Zeng's eyes immediately lit up.

"Hehe, godfather, the wine you gave to the emperor, and the wine you gave to the new official Shangshu Cai, is Liu Zheng's baby!"

As soon as Chen Qing's words fell, Chen Zeng laughed, nodded at Chen Qing with his hand, and said, "You little monkey!" ”
