At night, Caizhou City seems to be particularly quiet, just after the second watch, the people have closed their doors, and there is no daytime noise in the streets and alleys. There were only a few scattered dog barks, and a black shadow in a night suit jumped on the roof.

The purpose of the black shadow seemed to be very clear, and there was no pause along the way, and it went straight to the Caizhou Mansion. Climbed over its fence and headed straight into the backyard, without making the slightest noise or disturbing the guards standing guard.

The backyard of the government is the residence of the prefect, and after passing through a small garden, you will see a wooden building, which is three stories high, and the blue bricks and blue tiles are noble and generous. The black shadow hid in the darkness, paused a little to look around, and when he saw that no guards were coming, he quickly climbed up to the second floor and looked inside through the paper window.

It was the Chang Governor's Mansion who had Zhu Yong knocked out a few teeth during the day, lying on a rocking chair, closing his eyes and recuperating, and there was no one else in the room.

The black shadow gently pushed the window and jumped in, Chang Zhifu opened his eyes when he heard a strange sound, and when he saw the black shadow, he was not surprised at all, but grinned bitterly and said: "Manager Huang, can't you go to the main gate once, every time I know that you are coming, I have already withdrawn my subordinates, why bother to climb the window." ”

The bright light in the room shone on the face of the black shadow, it was the white-faced man Huang Chief, hearing the words of the Chang Governor, he just snorted coldly: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, it is always right to be careful in everything, Huang advises you to be a low-key person, if it is a bad thing for the sect leader, be careful that the head falls to the ground and your life is not guaranteed." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room immediately became dull, and Chang Zhifu's small eyes narrowed to a small slit, and he naturally understood what Mr. Huang meant. It's just that at this moment, he doesn't know if this is his own meaning, or if the sect leader is warning himself through his mouth, and the difference between the two is huge.

If the sect leader wants to restrain himself, then he himself really has to pay attention. But if Manager Huang just said it casually, then he could take this as the wind in his ears, and listen to it, even if he should live his life in the future.

"Mr. Huang, your words are serious, I often have made many contributions to the sect leader in the past two years, I believe you also know in your heart. There hasn't been any baskets, have you? Chang Mou naturally knows whether he should be low-key or high-profile, so he doesn't bother with Manager Huang. Chang Zhifu replied with a smile.

"Chang Zhifu can understand in his heart that it is naturally the best, and Huang is too talkative. I came to visit in the middle of the night tonight, and I had some doubts in my heart, and I asked the prefect to tell me the truth. Manager Huang smiled slightly and asked in a dark voice.

As soon as he heard that it was Mr. Huang who was talking too much, Chang Zhifu's tense fat face immediately burst into laughter, and he hugged his fists and smiled: "Mr. Huang is polite, if you have something, Chang Mou will tell the truth!" ”

Mr. Huang politely asked: "During the day, the Chang Governor's Mansion was humiliated at the door of the restaurant, and according to your temperament, you will never settle the matter, but for some reason you suddenly turned around and left, what is the reason for this, and please ask the Chang Governor to solve Huang's doubts." Of course, Huang had no intention of surveillance, but there was a hidden secret, which was related to the important matter explained by the sect leader, and I asked the prefect to forgive Huang for his presumptuousness. ”

Referring to the events of the day, Chang Zhifu suddenly felt a faint pain in the corner of his mouth, a sharp light flashed in his little eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you dare to offend me Chang, you will naturally not give up, and I will seek an opportunity to retaliate when I make such a disturbance on the street bedding." If you want to say that it is a perfect love, it is a perfect love, but at that time, a person holding the token of the commander of the brocade guard suddenly appeared, and ordered me to rest and calm the people. ”

"Commander of the Jinyi Guard?"

Mr. Huang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his heart had already confirmed his earlier conjecture, it seemed that he must have snatched the improved crops earlier, which had attracted Zhu Di's attention. And this Tang Ming appeared in Caizhou Mansion City at this time, and there must be some conspiracy waiting for him.

"Chang Governor's Mansion, can you really see clearly, the thing that person is holding is the token of the commander of the Jinyi Guard?" Although Mr. Huang had already believed eighty percent in his heart, he still asked again.

"There will be a mistake in this matter, I can still tell the truth of Jinyiwei's token, isn't it that Mr. Huang suspects me of lying to you?" Chang Zhifu was questioned by Manager Huang, and his voice couldn't help but raise a little when he spoke.

"Chang Zhifu is a little calm, Huang must not suspect you. Since the governor of Chang dared to be so sure, Huang had a reason not to believe it. But...... Among the three people who had an unpleasant incident with Chang Governor's Mansion today, there is a kid who is the person who wants to recruit peace, and I don't know if I can ask Chang Daren not to retaliate first? ”

When Mr. Huang said this, his eyes were fixed on the Chang Prefect's Mansion, and there was no trace of a smile on his face, and it seemed that if the Chang Prefect did not agree to this matter, he would never agree.

This unquestionable tone, Chang Zhifu was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing it, but it was not because of Mr. Huang's commanding tone, but because there was someone in it who the sect leader wanted. Although he is often fat, he has today's status, and he is naturally inseparable from the secret support of the sect leader, but he also understands that he is not ambiguous about his affairs as the head of the sect.

The identity of the sect leader has always been very mysterious, and Chang Zhifu has only recently learned that he is actually the first emperor Jianwen who has long since disappeared. When he learned the news, he hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to continue to do things for him. After all, the stakes are very high, and the slightest carelessness will be beheaded by the Manchus.

But having tasted the wonderful taste of power, it was not easy for the governor to give up suddenly, and after some struggle, he worked wholeheartedly for Jianwen. Now in Jianwen's eyes, his status is not lower than that of this Mr. Huang, so naturally there is no need to be too polite to him.

Chang Fatzi quietly looked at Manager Huang for a moment, and suddenly nodded slightly: "Since it is related to the matter of the sect leader, I Chang should give way, but who is this kid, I don't know if Manager Huang can tell me a thing or two?" ”

"This son's name is Tang Ming, and he is the person who improves the crops in Weihaiwei, and if those crops are really as high as the rumored yields, the sect leader will be able to raise troops in two years. At that time, all ethnic groups in Mongolia will also send troops to the north, and the plan to restore the throne will not be successful. At this point, Huang was inconvenient to reveal more, so he took his leave. Mr. Huang clenched his fists slightly, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the vast night in an instant.

Chang Zhifu didn't get up to see him off from beginning to end, looking at the light of the fire on the castle tower in the distance through the half-open window, and smiled thoughtfully. If things can really be as Mr. Huang said just now, then he will become a founding hero in the near future, thinking about these beautiful prospects, Chang Zhifu seems to have forgotten the corners of his mouth with a faint pain.

In the Caizhou Post House, Tang Ming and his party did not go out of the city, but all stayed in the post house. Li Ba and Zhu Yong were already drunk in the afternoon, and they didn't wake up at the moment and continued to have their own dreams.

Although Tang Ming knew the history of 500 years, he couldn't control his own fate, he couldn't sleep at all on a hot night, so he took Xiaobai out of the yard for a walk while the night was cool. Although I have already made up my mind to forget the past, it is easier said than done.

In the dead of night, he would always unconsciously think of home, which made him feel very troubled, but there was no other way to go back. Whenever he thinks of his parents and wives and children in later generations, the corners of Tang Ming's eyes will inevitably be moist, if he can, he is willing to pin this longing on the family of this era.

Although I don't know why Zhu Di and Zheng He can be sure that they are the descendants of the Tang family in Suzhou, Tang Ming is really willing to accept this identity unconditionally at this moment. At this moment, he may really answer a sentence, the more secrets people hide, the more troubles there will be in life, and a lie always has to be covered up with thousands of lies.

There was a big tree in front of him, Tang Ming walked over without hesitation, leaned on the thick trunk, looked up at the stars in the sky, and immersed himself in his thoughts. A cold voice sounded out of place behind it.

"Boy, the old man once told you that you are not allowed to work for his Zhu Di, it seems that you didn't take the old man's words to heart, and dared to leave Weihaiwei, do you want to avoid the old man?"

Hearing his voice but not seeing him, Tang Ming quickly regained his composure after being shocked, and this voice had already been deeply engraved in his mind. Who else could there be besides the white-faced man, but he didn't expect that this person was really ghostly, his hand had been slowly pressed to his waist, and his fingers were immediately tightly held at the moment when they touched Mitsubishi's thorn.

"Who does the kid work for, it doesn't seem that the seniors need to talk much, and the seniors don't want to care about the enmity between the predecessors and His Majesty today, the kid doesn't want to care, you take your sunshine road and I take my single-plank bridge, and they have nothing to do with each other. Why did the seniors find the kid again and again? ”

Tang Ming's eyes began to look around, but unfortunately, the pitch-black visibility in the courtyard was extremely low, and he couldn't distinguish where others were just by the voice he had just spoken.

"What a sunshine road single-plank bridge, the old man sees that your kid is also a very smart person, and he will give you another chance to join my Heavenly King Sect, and the old man will ensure that you will ascend to a high position and enjoy all the glory and wealth." The voice was as cold as ever.

"Forgive the boy for being lonely and unheard, what kind of sect is your Heavenly King Sect? If you want the kid to join, the seniors should at least explain it to me, right? Tang Ming felt that the voice was beside him, but no matter how big his eyes were, he still couldn't find any trace of the white-faced man.

The white-faced man seemed to be impatient, and his voice raised slightly: "Where is there so much nonsense, as long as you join, the old man will naturally tell you, and ask again whether to enter or not?" ”

As soon as the white-faced man's voice fell, a few leaves fell lightly on Tang Ming's head, looking up, Tang Ming saw a pair of eyes in the dark, and instantly reacted and wanted to run away, but the white-faced man jumped down, and his palm turned into a claw shape and grabbed his head.
