Dinghai is more than forty miles away from Ningbo Prefecture to govern Yin County, and the news that Dinghai City was captured by the Daishan Army reached Yin County on the same day, and the gentry of the entire Ningbo Prefecture fell into panic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the Ningbo prefect was vacant, and Zhu Zhikui sentenced Kong Wenyu to go to the city in person, and summoned the officers and soldiers to defend the city. Because they don't know if the Daishan army will take advantage of the situation to attack Ningbo.

The heads of various families flocked to the Yang Mansion to urgently discuss countermeasures. Even Zhang Jingxian was specially invited to attend. This time, no one dared to laugh at his relationship with Ren Siqi, because if the matter was urgent, he might be asked to go to Ren Siqi to make peace.

"This Wang Zhiren is really a rice bucket, a dignified general soldier can't even beat a small inspection, and he was taken to the nest!" Tu Xianchen snorted angrily and complained.

"What's the use of whining, let's think about what to do now."

"Ren Siqi doesn't necessarily know that Wang Zhiren is instructed by us, right?" A gentry said with luck.

"The surname Ren is not an idiot, he will definitely be able to figure out the cause and effect of the matter, and besides, Wang Zhiren was defeated by Ren Siqi, and there must be a lot of people who were captured, how could Ren Siqi not ask why they sent troops?" Another gentry immediately interrupted his fluke.

The gentry were gossiping, talking, complaining, regretting, and angry, clamoring to ask the court for troops to exterminate Ren Siqi, and the whole hall buzzed like a swarm of flies.

Many of them are tough-mouthed, but their pale faces show the timidity of their hearts.

"Shut up! Don't talk about those useless, let's think about countermeasures. Yang Bingnai patted the armrest on the chair impatiently and scolded loudly.

One by one, the gentry closed their mouths and looked at each other, but there was nothing to do.

Since Wang Zhiren was defeated, there were basically no more troops available in the entire eastern part of Zhejiang. As long as Ren Siqi thinks about it, he can easily go up the Yongjiang River and attack the capital city of Ningbo.

As for inviting troops from other places, report to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to punish Ren Siqi? Please, don't be so naïve.

The closest to Ningbo is the army of Fang Guoan, the general soldier of Zhejiang, stationed in Hangzhou, but if you want to mobilize Fang Guoan, it is not something that Ningbo can do. It must be reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court will issue an order.

However, Nanjing is thousands of miles away, and it takes several days to reach even if you ride a fast horse.

Even if the news of Ren Siqi's capture of Dinghai was reported to the imperial court, what could it be? The cause of the incident was that Wang Zhiren sent troops to attack Cen Gang without authorization, and Ren Siqi was forced to fight back, and the responsibility was not on Ren Siqi's side at all.

Of course, the gentry are all literati and have the ability to reverse black and white, but in the face of the incomparably powerful Ren Siqi, they are now scared and dare not tease his tiger whiskers at all.

"Let's go and make peace with Ren Siqi, and see how he will withdraw from the army!" After being silent for a long time, Qian Shuqing proposed gloomily.

There was silence in the hall, and none of the gentry complied, but no one objected.

"Let's do it!" Yang Bingnai naturally understood what everyone was thinking, it was nothing more than annoyance and helplessness.

But even if peace is negotiated, Ren Siqi will inevitably put forward very harsh conditions, at least the sea ships captured by him should not want to return, which makes the gentry very distressed.

"Then will Ren Siqi have the courage to attack Ningbo? This is a rebellion! A gentleman shouted.

The others were equally silent about his words, the Jingshi had been defeated, Emperor Chongzhen had been martyred, and the state affairs were like this, what else could not happen?

Ren Siqi is overseas, if he really rebels, what countermeasures does the imperial court have besides appeasement?

"Who to send to Ren Siqi?" Yang Bingnai asked about the candidates for peace again. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Jingxian, which made Zhang Jingxian feel like he was looking forward to it.

"Let's ask Brother Zhang Xian to go and ask General Ren what conditions he has? After all, you have a lot to do with General Ren. Yang Bingnai said softly to Zhang Jingxian.

Zhang Jingxian pretended to give in, and then readily agreed.

After returning home, he simply cleaned up, and then took two servants out of Yin County, and the gentry naturally told their decision to Zhu Zhikui, the Tongzhi of Ningbo Prefecture, Zhu Zhikui was unwilling to participate in the dispute between the gentry and Ren Siqi, of course, he was willing to solve the matter, so Zhang Jingxian became the official envoy of Ningbo Prefecture, and was sent to Dinghai to negotiate with Ren Siqi in an official capacity.

......

Zhang's house, the maid ran up to the embroidery building in a panic.

"Miss, it's not good, uncle, uncle he ......"

"You stinky girl, what are you flustered about?" Zhang Pujia scolded dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Pujia looked haggard and tired. Since a few days ago, her father told her that she had decided to marry her to Yang Fan, the third son of the Yang family, to fill the house, Zhang Pujia frowned, Yang Fan eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has a notoriety in Ningbo, of course Zhang Pujia is unwilling, but since Zhang Jingxian agreed, what can she do? You can only keep your heart full of things in your heart, and spend all your heart on fiddling with the arithmetic.

But as soon as she heard Que'er talk about her uncle, Zhang Pujia knew that what Que'er was talking about was of course not Yang Fan, but Ren Siqi.

"I told you a long time ago that you are not allowed to call him uncle again," Zhang Pujia scolded, and then asked nervously, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Uncle, no, Ren Gongzi, Ren Gongzi he rebelled!" The finch finally took a breath, and the words she said surprised Zhang Pujia.

"Nonsense, how could he rebel!"

"Miss, it's true. I heard that Ren Gongzi defeated the general army of Dinghai and occupied Dinghai City. Now we are going to attack Yinxian, and now the whole city is in a mess, and the master of Tongzhi ordered the city gate to be closed, and many people who entered the city to sell vegetables could not get out of the city, and they were making trouble at the city gate. ”

The finches talked about what happened in the city today.

"What you said is true?" Zhang Pujia grabbed the clothes of the finch at once, rebellion is a big crime to exterminate the nine clans, she doesn't believe that Ren Siqi will do such a thing.

"Miss, it's true. By the way, master, he went out of the city, I heard that the government asked the master to see his uncle, and asked his aunt not to attack the city. ”

"How so?" Zhang Pujia loosened the finch's clothes, took two steps back, and sat down on the chair at once.

is different from Zhang Pujia's lost soul, but the finch is full of excitement.

"Miss, did you say that Ren Gongzi rebelled for you?"

"Nonsense, why did it get to me again!" Zhang Pujia frowned.

"I'm not talking nonsense, Miss, you see, Ren Gongzi must have you in his heart, and the master wants to marry you to the Yang family, so after Ren Gongzi found out, he was not happy in his heart, so he thought about sending troops to attack Ningbo, so as to snatch you back from the Yang family!" The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and little stars popped up in her eyes.

Zhang Pujia looked at the excited finch with tears and laughter, laughing, but also had a trace of expectation in her heart.

If there is a person who is willing to rebel for himself and attack Ningbo City desperately, how good it would be!

But Zhang Pujia knew that it was impossible, because the jade Ruyi that Zhang Jingxian brought back had already explained Ren Siqi's thoughts.

But how did a swinger who knew all day long eating, drinking, and wandering around the flowers embark on the road of rebellion? This made Zhang Pujia very puzzled.

Could it be that he was afraid that the rebellion would affect him so that his father brought back the wish? Suddenly, a thought surged in Zhang Pujia's heart.

Yes, it must be so, he must have planned to take advantage of the troubled times to make a career, and he was afraid that the previous relationship would affect himself and the Zhang family, so he made a decisive move.

No, I can't let him do that! You can't let him be a rebel and a thief! I'm going to Dinghai to find him and stop him from attacking Ningbo!

After this idea was born in Zhang Pujia's heart, it quickly took root like a weed.

"Que'er, I want to go to Dinghai to find him!" Zhang Pujia suddenly said to the finch.

"Okay, okay, I'll go with Miss!" The finch jumped excitedly. Red Buddha runs at night, Cui Yingying will Zhang Lang! The finch suddenly made up all kinds of situations in her brain.

Zhang Pujia sighed, stretched out her finger and tapped the finch's forehead, and the finch's tongue stuck out and smiled.

"Let's talk about how to leave the city and go to Dinghai!" Zhang Pujia discussed with Que'er.

But two girls, who have no life experience, what can they discuss?

"Otherwise, I'll go and ask Zhang Peng to see if he has any good ideas." Finch suggested.

Zhang Peng is a servant of the Zhang family, a son of the family, knows some martial arts, and now serves as a guard in the Zhang family.

"But will he say it?" Zhang Pujia hesitated.

"No, I have a way to make him obedient!" The finch went out confidently.

Passing through the Moon Gate and walking through the corridor, Que Er quickly left the backyard and came to the front hall to find the guard Zhang Peng.

Zhang Ming was in his twenties, with a thin figure, but he stood very straight, and his whole body seemed to be full of strength.

"Amin, do you want to be an officer?" Finch asked directly.

"Of course!" Zhang Ming replied in a muffled voice, he practiced martial arts diligently, in order to be able to get ahead one day, but as a slave of the Zhang family, he knew that this kind of opportunity was almost impossible to appear in a person of his status.

"Now there is a chance, if you can escort the young lady to Dinghai, I guarantee that you can be an officer, at least a hundred households!" The finch was full of temptation in her words, which made Zhang Peng's eyes light up all of a sudden.

"But isn't Dinghai occupied by the Daishan rebels, I heard that it was the former aunt who took the lead. What is the young lady doing there? Zhang Peng reacted immediately.

"I'll only tell you about this, don't tell anyone else!" After the finch forced Zhang Peng to swear, he said something mysteriously in Zhang Peng's ear.

"Are you telling the truth?" Zhang Peng looked at the finch with a serious expression.

"Of course it's true, don't you believe that I still don't believe Miss?" The finch glared at Zhang Peng dissatisfied.

"Good!" Zhang Peng thought about it and resolutely agreed.

"You, do you have a way to get out of town?" Finch asked in surprise.

"It's very easy, although the city gate is sealed, but tens of thousands of people in the entire city need to consume a lot of grain and vegetables every day, and dozens of ships enter the city every day to deliver goods, as long as we are willing to spend money, we will definitely be able to take the boat that delivers grain out of the city."
