took Zeng Kaiyu, Zuo Yunfeng and Tian Hongda to the prison of Qingzhou Mansion, and the guards guarding outside the prison saw that it was Liu Zheng, and a touch of surprise immediately appeared on their faces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ah, Master Liu, you can count it, the little ones have been waiting for a few days!"

Liu Zheng smiled and threw some broken silver to the two officials, and said, "Where is my father?" ”

"Inside, inside, Master Liu, don't worry, he didn't suffer, the little ones are waiting carefully!"

"Okay, I won't go in, hurry up and invite my dad out!"

"Order, the little ones are going to invite the master!"

The two guards wanted to go in for a lover, but Liu Zheng grabbed one of them at once and said, "Okay, Lao Zhou, you can go, and I still have something to arrange for you!" ”

Lao Zhou entered the prison with a smile, and the second fat thief said with a smile: "Master Liu, what do you have to tell the little one!" ”

Liu Zheng took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and threw them to Er Fat and said, "You go and call all the big guys to the yamen, I have a task for you in a while!" ”

"Gotcha, let's go, little one!"

Looking at the second fat who ran away, Liu Zheng turned to Zeng Kaiyu and the three behind him: "You go to the yamen first and wait, and then ask Mao Fei, Ergouzi and Taosheng to take you to the house, I have already ordered them before, whoever to copy, they have counted!" After saying this, Liu Zheng said to Tian Hongda again: "Tian Baihu, from now on, you and we are in the same boat, do a good job, I will not treat you badly, rest assured, the court will not blame it, because we are not thieves at all!" ”

To be honest, Tian Hongda was very conflicted at this time, he wanted to die, but his family was in Qingzhou City, he died, what should his family do?

Now that Liu Zheng said this, he can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and he hugged his fists and said: "Tian Mou dares not to die!" The lord is above, and he is bowed by his subordinates! ”

Liu Zheng smiled and pulled Tian Hongda, who was about to kneel, and said: "We just met, you don't know me, I'm not good at anything, the only good thing is that I talk about it, I said that the court won't blame it, it won't blame it!" Put your heart in your stomach well, and follow me well in the future, I don't dare to say that I eat fragrant and drink spicy, but at least I can live a life worthy of my conscience! ”

"Subordinate......

Tian Hongda wanted to say something but saw Liu Zheng wave his hand, Tian Hongda silently hugged his fists and followed Zeng Kaiyu and Zuo Yunfeng.

……

Liu Zheng stood at the door and waited for a while, and suddenly a figure who was surrounded by everyone came out of his pupils, and when the figure came closer, Liu Zheng laughed sheepishly.

After Liu Chengzong saw Liu Zheng wearing a suit of armor, not only did he not have any angry scolding, reprimand, or blame, but even his reaction was plain, and his words were just a faint sentence: "Coming?" ”

Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Well, I'll pick you up!" Let's go, Daddy, let's go home! ”

"Well, go home!"

A pair of strange father and son swayed along the street of Xiao Suo back to the long-lost home, looking at the clean and clean door, Liu Chengzong sighed softly, stepped forward and pushed the door, but did not push, the people inside heard the sound, and it took a while before an old voice asked: "Yes, who is it?" ”

"I, your master!"

"Old, sir?" The person inside suddenly exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly opened the door.

The moment the old porter saw Liu Chengzong, tears welled up in his eyes: "Master, you can come back!" Less, young master, you're back too! ”

The maids hiding behind the wall heard that the young master was back, and they all rushed out, first calling Liu Chengzong a blessing obediently to the master, and then ran to Liu Zheng's side and cried, these days really frightened them.

Liu Chengzong saw the group of warblers and Yanyan who surrounded his son, his face darkened suddenly, he snorted heavily, raised his feet and walked to the backyard, Liu Zheng comforted a few pretty girls who were crying and wiping their tears, and followed in the footsteps of his father.

When he came to the main hall in the backyard and sat down, the maids served hot tea, and Liu Chengzong said, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Liu Zheng smiled sheepishly and said, "What's the matter?" That's it, huh? Isn't that all good? ”

"Alas!" Liu Chengzong sighed and said, "Okay? What's good? How are you? Or is the yamen good? Or is this Qingzhou City good? Or will the imperial court be fine? ”

Liu Zheng was slightly stunned, listening to his father say such things so blandly, he felt a little, how to say it, yes, it was incongruous, awkward, at this time, he should usually speak in an angry tone, or speak in a tone that is not yin or yang, but what is the matter with this bland taste?

Your son is a thief now, and the people in the prison from the head of the cell to the guard are all my people, and the whole yamen is closed, and the prison is still operating normally, this is all arranged by your son and I a long time ago, and they will definitely report to you what happened outside one by one according to my instructions.

I can't figure it out, Liu Zheng simply doesn't think about it, you play hide and seek, and I play too: "Everything will be fine, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, the city gate will open at dawn, the officials in the yamen will go to order as usual, and the prefect will sit in the public hall as before!" ”

Liu Chengzong took a sip of tea, then sighed and said, "You want to be good, but others will be as good as you think, will it be good?" ”

……

Liu Chengzong's words, the next day, Wei Boyuan also asked Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng also did not answer, but took him to walk around Qingzhou City, the yamen was working normally, the officials were patrolling the streets, and the soldiers of the inspection department all returned to the camp in the northwest corner of the city.

Looking at this peaceful Qingzhou City, Wei Boyuan sighed deeply, and Liu Zheng said with a smile: "Old Man Wei, what's so difficult to understand, the hustle and bustle in the world is a good word, the benefit of the prefect is that this Qingzhou City is safe and sound, and all the people in this mansion can listen to him; The advantage of the classics and the soap is that they can continue to exploit the people even if they still wear that skin; The benefit of the people of the city is a few stones of grain delivered to the door last night; The benefit of the victims outside the city is the wages they receive from their homes and workshops outside the city; The advantage of the patrol division soldiers is that they are still alive! If everyone is benefited, why make trouble? ”

Wei Boyuan stared at Liu Zheng's eyes for a while and sighed: "What you said is not right, the right thing is that these people have indeed benefited as you said, and the wrong thing is that you deliberately ignored many people, such as Qingzhou Zuowei, such as Yu Tongzhi in the yamen, Qian Tongju, experience, and governor, such as Sun Baicheng of the Inspection Division, such as those gentry and businessmen in the city who were copied by you, and then the biggest Heng Wang in Qingzhou City!" ”

Liu Zheng looked at Wei Boyuan very seriously and said: "I didn't deliberately ignore them, they also got their benefits, Qingzhou Zuowei is rotten, and now my people have entered this Qingzhou Zuowei, so that they have a new life, let them regain the responsibility of defending Qingzhou Mansion, this is the benefit of Zuowei; Yu Zheng and Qian You offended the people of the city, but they are still alive, and this is their benefit; Although Sun Baicheng is dead, his two sons are still alive and well, which is his benefit; Those gentlemen and merchants who were raided by me, how many people they have killed by cunning in their lives, and I return their ill-gotten wealth to the people, which is the same as their building bridges and paving roads, it is a good deed, and they should be grateful to me; As for the King Heng you mentioned, everything is as usual, he is still the King of Heng, he can still be a prestige here, he can still enjoy delicious food and wine, and the beauty of the city, he has nothing to lose, and he has no excuse to make trouble! ”

Wei Boyuan almost didn't come up in one breath, and glared hatefully: "I don't want to talk about the others, let's talk about King Heng, you say he has nothing to lose?" You can really say it! The outside of his house is surrounded by your regiments, and all the Zhuangzi outside his house are taken by you, and you still say that he has no loss? He is the king of Heng, the king of the domain, and the descendant of Taizu, and this Ming belongs to their family! ”

Liu Zheng pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "Nonsense, this Ming Dynasty is not their Zhu family, nor will it be our Liu family, but the people of the whole world!" ”

In his cognition, there is nothing more about 'the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister' and 'the king and the scholar rule the world together', and he has never heard of the world being the people's world.

Liu Zheng knew the shock in Wei Boyuan's heart, and said softly: "Old man, although you are from a martial arts family, you have also read a lot of sage books, and the sage once said, 'The monarch, the boat, the people, the water; The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. What does the truth that this water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, it shows that this world is the world of the people, and it shows that you, the king, are only the parents of the world, and you can't lead everyone to live a good life, but the people can change their parents to lead everyone to live a good life! ”

……

Liu Zheng took Old Man Wei around outside the city and returned to the yamen, and as soon as he entered the door, someone came to Liu Zheng's side to make a small report.

"Master Liu, yesterday, the little one went to invite someone according to your instructions, but the canons of each room were sick, so none of the canons of each room came today!"

"Sick?" Liu Zheng snorted coldly and said: "It's good to be sick, since you are all sick, then you can rest at home in the future, go and pass a message to the people in the Zuowei camp, and ask them to arrest these sick people in the camp, and the whole family can't miss a single one!" lest their disease be transmitted to outsiders! ”

"Yes, Master Liu, the little ones will go!"

When this person left, Liu Zheng asked another person to go to his camp outside the city to find Hu Dongyuan, and asked Hu Dongyuan to call a few of his account keepers over.

After the order, Liu Zheng raised his legs and entered the back office, the government of Qingzhou Mansion and the Tongzhi Yamen are together, so only Wang Jiabin lives in the back of this yamen, as soon as he entered the back office, he saw a woman decocting medicine, Liu Zheng recognized this woman, is Wang Jiabin's concubine called Huan'er, it is said that she used to be a famous prostitute in the capital.
