When Qiu Yizhi heard that Zheng Xin was annoyed, he hurriedly said a few words of relief: "This Yin Chengliang is really not like words, doing such a shameless thing, no wonder he would have mobilized heavy troops to besiege his junior brother with such fanfare before." But in the final analysis, it was because of Yin Chengliang's misconduct, and the eldest brother was angry with him, so it was not good to hurt his body in vain. ”

Zheng Xin said with a sad face: "Who is he Yin Chengliang?" Also worth my anger? I'm worried about the Han River, I'm afraid that the foundation that my father has worked so hard to create will be harmed by this group of unscrupulous officials! ”

Zheng Xin's words were too big and too far, and Qiu Yizhi was inconvenient to interject, but said: "Yin Chengliang must be severely punished, but under such a rat trap, I don't know what good plan His Highness has?" ”

Zheng Xin frowned and said: "I can't think of any foolproof plan for a while, don't you expect the virtuous brother to have any tricks to teach me." ”

Qiu Yizhi was tired all day today, his whole brain was scorched by the hot air in Jiangnan, and he couldn't think of any good way to think about it, so he said for a long time: "Little brother doesn't have any good ideas...... Oh, by the way, the younger brother's friend 'Mr. Bansong' Lin Shuhan is resourceful, or the younger brother asks him for advice, I don't know what the eldest brother thinks? ”

Zheng Xin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No!" It's appalling. To put it mildly, he Yin Chengliang is shameless, and the court and the royal family still have face! Although Lin Shuhan has some friendship with his virtuous brother, after all, he is from Jiangnan Shilin, and if he has a mouth that is not tight, it will be difficult to collect it. ”

Zheng Xin's words, although Qiu Yizhi didn't think so, but after thinking about it, it was quite reasonable.

So Qiu Yizhi pondered for a long time, and then nodded and said, "The eldest brother is reasonable, and the younger brother has been taught." He changed his words and said, "Today, the eldest brother has been busy from the morning to now, and the weather in Jiangnan is so hot that even the iron beaters are about to melt." I don't think our brothers can come up with any ideas here. It's better to guard Yin Chengliang carefully now, and after the matter in Qingyaguan is clarified, it's not too late to think about it in the long run. ”

Zheng Xin sighed and said, "It's the only way to do it now." I don't think I will be promoted to the court tomorrow to try the case, so I will rest for a day first, and then I will talk about it after I sort out the clues of my thoughts. Tomorrow, the virtuous brother can sleep lazily and come over to discuss matters later. ”

Because there was nothing to do the next day, Qiu Yizhi slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

After a thorough rain in the early morning, the high temperature and heat that had accumulated for several days were slightly suppressed, and Qiu Yizhi shook up his spirits and had lunch, and then called Captain Chi Jiming to be a guard, and went to Qixia Temple to discuss things with His Royal Highness Zheng Xin.

Because the two brothers had spoken very thoroughly last night, there was nothing to talk about today, so they chose a cool and secluded corner, made a pot of herbal tea, and chatted without a word.

The two were chatting drowsily, but they heard a sergeant report that the old and young Taoist priests in the "Qingya Temple" had confessed, but they had an affair with Yin Chengliang.

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Xin and Qiu Yizhi's drowsiness disappeared, and they looked at each other but couldn't say a word.

After a long time, Zheng Xin sighed and said, "Alas! This Yin Chengliang really did such an ugly thing, teach me how to end it? ”

Qiu Yizhi thought about it all night last night, and only after half dreaming and waking up did he come up with an idea that was not an idea, so he said to Zheng Xin: "Big brother, the little brother has a bad idea to deal with this Yin Chengliang, and ask the eldest brother for advice." ”

When Zheng Xin heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Brother Xian has always been wise, and he must have a good plan in his chest, so if you don't hurry up and tell Brother Fool to hear it, you and my brother can also deal with it." ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, and said carefully: "Last night, the eldest brother was right, Yin Chengliang must be dealt with strictly. However, he couldn't break the casserole and shake it out completely, so that people could see the joke in vain. It's like catching a mouse in a china shop, and it's really hard to catch a mouse without breaking it. ”

Zheng Xin was anxious by Qiu Yizhi's appetizing words, but he couldn't urge him to say it quickly, so he said: "This truth, the foolish brother also understands, so he is at a loss!" Otherwise, a little bedbug like Yin Chengliang would have been crushed to death by me. ”

"That's right!" Qiu Yizhi said, "Yin Chengliang is a bedbug. But why bother to pinch it yourself to get rid of bed bugs? Even if you pinch it to death, it will make your hands stink. The younger brother was born in poverty, and when he was a child, he also had some entanglements with bed bugs and fleas when he was sleeping in a dilapidated temple. At that time, when you encountered a bed bug, you didn't have to pinch it with your hands, just take a pinch of salt and sprinkle it on the bed bug, and it will die on its own. ”

"Brother Xian means ......," Zheng Xin said puzzled.

Qiu Yizhi scratched his scalp with a smile and said, "It's all because the metaphor of the younger brother is not appropriate, which makes the eldest brother confused...... Just ......"

Qiu Yizhi told Zheng Xin about the plan in his heart.

Zheng Xin nodded while listening, and when he heard the last high-five, he exclaimed: "Brother Xian's strategy can be described as perfect. I just don't know...... I just don't know, but that 'Mr. Bansong' Lin Shuhan's idea? ”

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Big brother's words, how can the younger brother disobey?" This is indeed the little brother who came up with it alone. It's just that although this method is out of public intentions, it is still a trick of ghosts, and it is flawed in the four words of openness and righteousness. The eldest brother might as well write a letter in a hurry, inform the emperor, and get his old man's permission, so that it can be implemented. ”

Zheng Xin nodded when he heard this, and immediately called his entourage to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a letter with a little bit of writing, dried it slightly, and handed it to Qiu Yizhi, saying: "This is the letter written by the eldest brother to his father, let's take a look at it." ”

Qiu Yizhi respectfully took the letter and read it hastily - I saw that the letter briefly explained the progress of the trial process after Zheng Xin went south, and wrote in detail how to deal with Yin Chengliang's countermeasures.

It's just that this strategy was originally thought up by one of Qiu Yi, but under Zheng Xin's pen, it became a discussion between the two of them.

Qiu Yizhi is a smart person, and he can see this little calculation in Zheng Xin's heart at a glance, but it is not easy to break it in person, but he said: "The word eldest brother is really getting better and better...... I see that the letter is very well written and there is nothing that can be changed. ”

Zheng Xin thought that Qiu Yizhi didn't see his Spring and Autumn Stroke, nodded smugly, and said: "Okay, then I will immediately send eight hundred miles of expedited horses to Luoyang, the capital, and there must be a response within three or four days." ”

Qiu Yi's way: "The eldest brother is very vigorous and resolute, and the younger brother admires it very much." It's just that can you use these 800 miles to expedite and send a letter to Guangyang? ”

"Oh?" Zheng Xin glanced at Qiu Yi vigilantly, "What is the virtuous brother doing when he writes a letter to Guangyang?" ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled mockingly and said, "It's nothing. It is the little brother who is waiting for the little guy Ruishou, who has been taking care of his family in Guangyang City since the battle of rebellion. The eldest brother also knows, Guangyang still has something to do now, he is idle, I want to transfer Ruishou to help with some paperwork. ”

"I see." Zheng Xin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but said, "Brother, this is biased. As the saying goes, 'three holes of cunning rabbits', Guangyang is the root of our wait, if the virtuous brother has no henchmen in Guangyang City, if something goes wrong in Jiangnan in the future, wouldn't there be no way out? ”

Qiu Yi listened and thought: Zheng Xin's words seem to have another deep meaning, but it is not all unreasonable - the foundation of his foothold in the world is all about the trust of Emperor Zheng Rong, but the so-called "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", this emperor's heart is really unpredictable; Even if Zheng Rong always trusts himself as one, it is another matter to wait until the emperor is a hundred years old, and the new monarch is established.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi immediately dispelled this thought, and arched his hand towards Zheng Xin and said: "The eldest brother is really far-sighted, and the younger brother thinks about it now, it is indeed better to leave an old man to do something in Guangyang City." ”

Zheng Xin said with a smile: "Since the virtuous brother is willing to listen to the eldest brother, it is even better." Although Ruishou is clever, he is not a peaceful person, so he is afraid that he will be idle for a long time. In this way, I gave him a manor to manage, and all the income was at the disposal of the virtuous brother, so that he could have some things to do, and he would have more money at hand. ”

"That's strapping me, isn't it?" Qiu Yizhi thought secretly, but said in his mouth: "Then I will thank the eldest brother first." ”

Zheng Xin smiled generously and said: "Although you and I are not blood relatives, our affection is the same as brothers, so why be so polite?" Didn't the virtuous brother just say that there was a lack of the main book of the secretary in the county government? It's okay, I'm going south this time, and I've got enough people with me, if I don't dislike the stupidity of these people under my brother, just pick one or two by my side. ”

Qiu Yizhi was taken aback when he heard this, and thought: I'm afraid this is the right topic, it turns out that His Royal Highness Zheng Xin wants to take this opportunity to plant an eye and ear next to me.

However, Qiu Yizhi couldn't refuse in person now, so he had to thank him stubbornly: "Big brother is kind and kind, little brother has thanked you first." "But in my heart, I was thinking: it is one thing to stay with me, and it is another thing for me to use it.

Foolish brothers Zheng Xin and Qiu Yizhi laughed for a while, and then said goodbye.

In the next few days, because he had to wait for Emperor Zheng Rong's reply, Qiu Yizhi only went to Qixia Temple every day to sign in and order, and then no longer discussed with Zheng Xin.

In the past two years of Qiu Yizhi, he first went south to quell the rebellion of Tianzun Sect, and then went deep into the capital several times to do things, and then rescued his father-in-law Zheng Rong with nine deaths, and then put himself into the battle of rebellion.

Therefore, these few days of free time are already very rare for Qiu Yizhi.

He was originally an active person, so he shook up his spirit and smelted up as if he were doing serious things. It is also a loss that this Jinling is the place where the gold powder of the Six Dynasties gathers, and there are countless scenic spots, such as Xuanwu Lake, Purple Mountain, Yuhuatai, etc., which are all places that literati and ink writers dream of.

So at the time of Qiuyi, he made an appointment with His Royal Highness Zheng Xin, and under the company of countless guards and guards, he retired from the surrounding tourists and enjoyed the wind and rain of Zhongshan alone; From time to time, I made an appointment with Lin Shuhan and Wu Ruofei, drove a flat boat together, recited poems on Xuanwu Lake, talked about the past and the present, and wasted a whole day's time; When there was no one to make an appointment, he took Yu Chi Jiming to run around in the bustling streets and alleys of Jinling City, enjoying the folk customs of the south of the Yangtze River.

He played unscrupulously for five or six days, and finally received a message from the herald sent by Zheng Xin: that the emperor's reply had arrived, and he wanted Qiu Yizhi to discuss countermeasures together.

When he received the news, Qiu Yizhi was chatting with Lin Shuhan in the manor of "Mr. Bansong", and after knowing this serious matter, Qiu Yizhi did not dare to slack off for a moment, and immediately said goodbye to Lin Shuhan, and even Wei Chi Jiming didn't have time to shout, so he rode his horse to Qixia Temple alone.
