Zheng Keming returned home, as if he was ten years old.

What he didn't know was that of the three sons he thought were dead, one was actually alive.

However, being alive is only alive now, and they will not see each other again.

Lying on the chair, Zheng Keming closed his eyes.

At first, he didn't know that his eldest son would have a whim to let his second son kill Wang Jianghuai. Although the plan to deal with Xie Shence was drawn up by him.

Zheng Xunyi's assassination of Wang Jianghuai was arranged by Zheng Xunren before going to Yangquan. He didn't say this to Zheng Keming.

Zheng Keming lay down for a while, then got up and went to the study, wrote a letter, and asked people to take it back to his hometown in Xingyang.

On August 24, Zheng Keming received a reply from the Zheng family in Xingyang, and Zheng He's old mother died of illness.

The Zheng family wailed.

On the morning of August 25, Emperor Jin allowed Zheng Keming to return to his hometown to mourn and mourn.

Ding Wei is very popular in this era. Officials who have official positions, when their father and mother die, they have to be suspended from their posts and mourned, and they will guard the tomb for their loved ones for three years. During this period, there is no marriage, no auspicious celebrations, no entertainment activities, and you need to live in front of your parents' graves.

This is human nature, and even Jin Du can't stop it. Even if Jin wants to win love, there is no excuse.

It is not a time for the country to be in crisis. Although it is said that the Qin people are very anxious, it is not yet the autumn of survival.

So on the day of August 25, Zheng Keming traveled lightly and returned to his hometown in Xingyang with his two sons, Zheng Xunzhi and Zheng Xunxin.

Xie Shence was already dusk when Ti Qi got the news.

In the Tiqi Division, Xie Shence was furious when he received the news. Zhou Jinmian looked remorseful.

"Just a little bit...... It's just a little bit close to catching this old guy......"

"I don't believe anything could have happened by such coincidence. When the martial arts hall was at a critical time, his mother died?! ”

Xie Shence slammed the desk hard.

I don't know how many times the poor desk has been hammered by Xie Shence, and the thick yellow rosewood top has shallow cracks.

Zhou Jinmian's nails had already dug into the flesh, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "Impossible." How could Zheng Keming do such a thing, how dare he? After all, it's a biological mother! ”

"What would you not dare? People don't die for themselves, and in their opinion, being able to live is more important than anything else. ”

"Not a son of man!" Zhou Jinmian scolded angrily.

Xie Shence lowered his eyes and said lightly: "The conscience of this kind of person has been eaten by dogs. Not to mention how much affection Zheng Keming has for his biological mother, you have to see how much Zheng Keming has a desire for power. ”

Zhou Jinmian thought for a moment, and then sighed.

"Zheng Keming must die...... For now, we must send more people to closely monitor Zheng Keming, so that he cannot disappear from under our noses. ”

Xie Shence nodded and said, "Leave this matter to Wushan." ”

The two were silent for a while, and Xie Shence said, "What is the specific situation on Xiahou's side?" Tell me about it. ”

Zhou Jinmian said: "The situation of Xiahou Li's commander in Guanlong is much more complicated than that of Lord Admiral in Yangquan. The Guanlong Group is more complicated, although Chen Hua is currently on His Majesty's side, it must be the result of His Majesty's payment of a lot of places. According to the report of Xiahou's commander, some local families had a lot of disputes because of the internal quota allocation, and after the King of Qi went, although under the suppression of the group headed by the Chen family, it was much more restrained, but the internal turmoil was still very fierce. ”

"Guan Long can't be in a hurry for a while, so he has to spend time to boil it slowly."

Xie Shence tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Since it's an undercurrent, it doesn't matter." Ti Qi Si is not afraid of undercurrents, and His Majesty needs appearances. As long as you don't oppose Your Majesty on the surface, the lecture on martial arts can be carried out in a grand manner. ”

Zhou Jinmian hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lord Admiral, the word grandiose ...... Not very appropriate. ”

Xie Shence let out an unexpected "huh" and said, "You actually started to pay attention to my words?" ”

Zhou Jinmian smiled slightly: "Since the Admiral began to take over the official duties normally yesterday, my subordinates have felt that your Excellency is a little uneasy. ”

Xie Shence's heart tightened, and then said: "It's nothing, you know, it's not just getting married, haha......"

Zhou Jinmian smiled, stopped talking, and then went out to decorate.

After Zhou Jinmian left, Xie Shence locked himself in the room alone and did not move for a long time.

The anti-martial arts faction in the court has long since collapsed.

In Xie Shence and Zhou Jinmian's previous secret plan, Emperor Jin supported their bold idea, which in turn dealt a near-devastating blow to the anti-martial faction.

At that time in Yangquan, Xie Shence made some changes to the previous plan after learning that Zheng Xunren was also coming, and then designed to capture Zheng Xunren alive. Immediately afterwards, Xie Shence asked Tiqi to spread a message to the Jin capital.

Xie Shence, the commander of the Tiqi Division, was captured and killed by the bandits of Taihang Mountain in Yangquan.

Yes, Xie Shence himself released the news that he was killed.

So under the almost amazing acting skills of Emperor Jin and Zhou Jinmian, the anti-martial faction thought that Xie Shence was really dead, and the imperial court had lost control of the situation in Shanxi Province. So they played one after another, or bluntly said bitterly, or insinuated, saying that thank Shence for his demonic words, this time Taihang Mountain bandits are violent. The turmoil and civil unrest were all caused by the lecture martial arts, so I implored the Jin Emperor to ban the lecture martial arts hall and cure the Xie family's crimes.

In those days, Xie Sheng said that he was not sick, and the Xie family's low profile faintly confirmed the statement that Xie Shence was dead.

Of course, after that, there was a large-scale attack by the anti-martial faction, and even forced the palace.

Throughout the second half of August, the capital of Jin was in a state of excitement and fear. Countless pro-martial arts officials were demoted, countless anti-martial arts political enemies were framed (of course, some were not framed), and for a time everyone in Beijing who did not belong to the anti-martial faction was in danger. Either live in seclusion and cut off contact with the outside world, or join the tide and become a member of the anti-martial faction.

At the same time, some quite strong officials have also emerged in the court, and they have the momentum of scolding the heavens and the earth in the court, and they don't even pay attention to Jin.

Emperor Jin naturally recorded all these people in a small book.

Then on August 28, Wang Jiehua entered Beijing. Anti-militant doubts.

Then Xie Shence made a public appearance. The anti-martial faction was terrified.

Then it's the thanksgiving wedding. The anti-martial faction completely died down.

Not long after Xie Shence's wedding, he took Wang Jiehua to Yangzhou City, ignoring the situation in the capital of Jin.

took Wang Jiehua back to his hometown to see his grandparents, saying that he was visiting relatives, but in fact, it was not to avoid the bloodshed in Beijing. After all, as soon as they got married, a large number of officials in the Jin capital were killed, and Wang Jiehua was definitely unhappy.

Therefore, when Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua returned to the Jin capital, they felt that the Jin capital was different.

Wang Jiehua didn't feel anything, but Xie Shence could clearly ask about the faint smell of blood in the Jin capital.

This is the second time since Xie Shence purged the Tiqi Division that this smell has appeared in Jindu. Rats in the sewers...... Once again, it's time for a big meal.

In just one month, the anti-martial arts faction has experienced a period of prosperity to loss and withering, and now only Zheng Keming is left struggling to support him.

Officials who were previously ousted by the anti-martial faction are now on their way back to office. And many of them, in positions where they go, are to overthrow them from their original positions.

So there was a very strange phenomenon in Dajin. That is, some people have not yet arrived at the place where they took office, and they are called back by the holy decree to rush to another place to take up their duties.

Those who were demoted did not need to go, because the imperial court gave them bigger and better official positions than before. They just went the extra mile.

Xie Shence can imagine that the capital of Jin at that time. How many officials celebrated with their crowns, how many officials were woken up in the middle of the night by barking dogs, and then how many loyal domestic dogs were killed the next day and served as a servant's appetizer.

Up to now, Xie Shence is not very clear how Zhou Jinmian and Emperor Jin acted such a fake news so realistically.

Panic, confusion, helplessness, despair......

How is this kind of emotion and cumbersome arrangement of illusions accomplished?

Emperor Jin is a natural conspirator, and he is not inconspicuous, and he is good at giving layers of psychological hints to his opponent through some details to confuse his opponent. Now that I think about it, the anti-martial arts officials were deceived at the beginning, and it is likely that it started when a series of news such as civil unrest and Xianbei detention reached Jindu.

The layout is long-term.

Xie Shence's heart swelled with vigilance.

After some time, it was completely dark, there was no light in the room, and it was pitch black.

Xie Shence suddenly got up and clapped his hands.

"Lord Admiral."

Someone spoke in the corner.

"Let Xiahou Yu closely monitor the western front, and don't let Zheng Keming go west."

"Yes, Admiral."

The man agreed, and then there was silence in the corner.

After a while, Xie Shence said to the empty and dark room: "By the way, what's new in Jindu recently?" ”

A voice seemed to come from a corner of the dark room, and someone said: "Recently, there has been a large influx of Yan and Xianbei people into the Jin capital, because some of the treaties that were revised after the war have had a great impact on commerce, so these merchants have been active frequently in the past two months. In addition, the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty had already arrived in the Jin capital. ”

This person's voice is much clearer than the one just now, and it is obviously not a person.

"Is there anyone suspicious?"

"There was nothing suspicious among the merchants. There is a Southern Song Dynasty man, and the Admiral may know him. ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"Southern Song Dynasty land rolls. A few days ago, a Tiqi found out that he had submitted an invitation to the Weihou Mansion, as if he was going to visit the Admiral and his wife. However, since the Admiral is still in Yangzhou City, he ...... Probably come back to visit in the near future. ”

Xie Shence keenly caught the word "couple" in the man's mouth. So his eyes narrowed.

In the dark, the man was in the corner, and he couldn't see Xie Shence's facial expression, but he felt Xie Shence's very unfriendly mood.

"Do you want to be a subordinate ......?"

"Leave him alone."

After Xie Shence said this, he strode out.

The independent courtyard of the Ti Qi Division, every grass and tree, every table and chair in it is very familiar to Xie Shence, even if he runs with his eyes closed, he will not bump into it.

As usual, General Secretary Yang and six black-armored guards escorted Xie Shence's carriage back.

In that section of the Huangjing River, Xie Shence got out of the carriage and bought nine scallion pancakes with Mr. Yang at the roadside cake shop, along with one for each coachman, and Xie Shence also packed a bowl of mutton soup to eat in the car.

"Well, this kid's scallion pancake skills have improved. The last time I ate it, it tasted worse. ”

Xie Shence rolled up the thin scallion pancake, drank a sip of mutton soup, and ate a bite of the cake, which was very refreshing.

Hei Jiawei's scallion pancake had already been swallowed in a few bites, and the coachman put it aside, because he couldn't eat it for the time being because he couldn't spare his hands while driving.

Mr. Yang ate in his mouth and said, "Lord Admiral doesn't know, this kid has an opportunity!" ”

Xie Shence became interested and asked, "Oh? He is a seller of scallion pancakes, what else does he have to do? Could it be that you are picking up your daughter-in-law? ”

Mr. Yang swallowed the cake, slapped his thigh on the horse, and said excitedly: "Don't say it, you really let this kid bump into it!" Lowering his voice, Mr. Yang said, "Do you remember the time when you and your little maid went to Xiaomu Street together? That kid was beaten for grabbing the stall? ”

Xie Shence took a sip of soup, smacked his lips and said, "Remember, there was a time." Later, it is said that he went to Fangzheng. ”

"That's the time, although the kid was beaten, but his behavior was seen by an old man who specializes in mutton soup on Xiaomu Street, the old man saw that he was young and had a bit of craftsmanship, so he accepted him as an apprentice, because of his good understanding, now his skills have surpassed the master, and now the old man is ready to recruit him as a son-in-law!"

"Ahem, ahem!" Xie Shence was choked.

Is it a blessing for Seon to lose his horse?

Finally drank a few more sips of soup, Xie Shence suppressed his cough, gasped and said, "I really let this kid pick it up." He's not an oligo. Is there a child? Never? ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Yang slapped his thigh again and said, "Hi! Don't talk about it, my lord, this kid has a tendon in his head, and he can't say anything about death, and he fell out with the old man's family! In fact, the girl's subordinates had seen it before, she was a good person, she was good-looking, she was an informal person, and she went to the kid's shop to help for a few days...... It looks like a couple. ”

After speaking, Mr. Yang said: "It's the life of a single, don't send it to the daughter-in-law, sooner or later it will be cheaper for others!" ”

Xie Shence said with a smile: "Fate has its own destiny, maybe one day he will open his mind......

Soon after Xie Shence and the others left, the cake shop on the bank of the Huangjing River ushered in another group of guests.

A tall, veiled woman arrived with two servant-like men. The woman also took a carriage, looking at the mark on the carriage, it was the largest carriage and horse shop in the capital of Jin-the industry of the Jin merchants - the high-class carriage of the Jinyang, rented for a month for twenty taels of silver, ordinary people could not afford it.

Ding Feng greeted with a grin: "What do the guests want to eat?" Scallion pancakes or lamb soup? Mutton soup includes mutton soup, haggis soup......"

A servant stepped forward and said, "Scallion pancakes, haggis soup." Pack and take away. ”

"Okay!"

"The guest's eyes are raw, it must be the first time to come to Jindu, right? It's not the villain's blow, the food stall on the bank of the Huangjing River is the villain's scallion pancake and mutton soup are the most authentic......"

"Oh? How can the boss see that it is the first time for us to come to Jindu? The masked woman spoke, and her voice was euphemistic.

Ding Feng was full of excitement.

That's good......

"Haha, I can't be the boss, the guest has tormented the villain...... As for being able to hear that the guests are coming to Jindu for the first time, it is natural! The villain has lived in Jindu for generations, although the farthest one has only been to Liucheng, but where have you never heard the accent of Tiannan and Haibei? The villain dared to assert that the guest must have come from Hebei Province! If the villain is wrong, this bit of food will be given to you by the villain for nothing. ”

"Then you're wrong, we're from the Yan Kingdom. I laughed at this food......"

The masked woman smiled, motioned for a servant to come forward, and took the packed food.

Ding Feng suddenly panicked, rubbed his hands and smiled bitterly: "Guest, guest, this, small business, or ......"

The masked woman's voice was cold and said, "Give money." ”

The voice is no longer as sweet and crisp as it was before.

A servant stepped forward, looked into Ding Feng's eyes and asked coldly, "How much." ”

"Twelve, no, no, ten, as long as ten."

"Whoa." Ten dollars were placed on the stove, and the three masters and servants turned around and left.

Ding Feng looked embarrassed, looked at the direction in which the carriage left, raised one hand and put it down, he was quite embarrassed, he didn't even say hello.

When the carriage was far away, Ding Fengcai carefully used tongs to remove the copper coins from the hot stove, then wrapped them in a handkerchief, and carefully put them in the cash cabinet.

I don't think there's anyone tonight...... Ding Feng served himself a small half bowl of mutton soup, leaned comfortably on the recliner, took small sips, blowing the cool river breeze, and looked happy.

Accustomed to seeing the various states of visitors, Ding Feng's mood was quite satisfying.

In the inn, the woman finished eating a scallion pancake and drinking a bowl of haggis soup, sweating all over her body, and feeling refreshed.

After sipping and wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, the woman put on her mask and said, "It tastes really good...... How's that cake shop boy? ”

The two people kneeling on the ground did not raise their heads, and one of them said: "That kid is not unusual, after we left, he just filled some mutton soup and drank it himself, and there was no movement." Stick to the status quo...... The subordinate is sure that he must be just a peddler. ”

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Ordinary peddlers?" It doesn't look like a fake, typical of the virtues of a small trader. However, why does Xie Shence buy food from him every day? He and Tiqi are very familiar with each other. ”

"This ...... It can't be verified for a while, and the subordinates are incompetent, so I hope that the adults will forgive their sins. ”

The woman smiled, didn't care about the performance of her subordinates, and said: "No wonder you, after all, it's not a domestic country, the lair of the Tiqi Division, if you move too much, it will arouse suspicion, and there is no need to investigate this matter again." ”

"Yes."

The two kneeling answered in unison, and then stepped back.

The woman sat alone in the room, stretching out in boredom, showing her curves.

Xie Shence returned to Weihou Mansion, Wang Jiehua was still reading, and when he saw Xie Shence coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Coming back so late, are you hungry? I asked the little fish to prepare for them? ”

Wang Jiehua took off Xie Shence's admiral clothes while beckoning, and the colorful clothes brought warm water and towels in.

Xie Shence washed his face and said, "No need, I ate it when I came back." But you, why did you wait until now? ”

Xie Shence put down the towel and went out with the basin. Wang Jiehua said: "Wait for you to come back, I won't be able to sleep if you don't come back......"

"Tonight, then...... Hot water? ”

Wang Jiehua blushed suddenly.

Preparing hot water is a little secret between Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua. Between husband and wife, harmony is the most important. It's a hot day again, and you will sweat if you move a little, so hot water is a must.

"Do you want hot water? Don't say I can sleep ......."

“...... Well. ”

Wang Jiehua buried her head in Xie Shence's chest.

(PS: There will be a chapter tonight, and the plot will usher in an explosion.)
