Seventy-eight, deliberations

"Father-in-law. When will the imperial court send someone. "Zheng Wan rushed back to the Xining Governor's Mansion from outside." More and more people are falling ill in Xining City. How good is that? The city's infirmaries have been gathered. However, there is still a shortage of doctors. If this continues, there is really not enough manpower. I originally wanted to find some strong men, but the people here inevitably have resentment in their hearts because of the previous Zhu Zhiqing, and it is really not easy to recruit people. Under the heavy money, there must be brave men, so some people barely came. Feng Ziyuan went to arrange it. But these people didn't last long. ”

"The court has already sent people, and they are on their way. The nearby disease doctor will arrive first. The Imperial Physician of Kyoto Castle will also follow. We now have to buy time for them. Zheng Shengdong's eyes were all black. I haven't had a good rest these days. Just straightened out the cloud capital. Ping Xin's body is slightly better. Zheng Wan discovered Xining's anomaly. He and Zheng Wan rushed to Xining non-stop. The state of the city is worse than expected. The people were already suffering from the locust plague, and now they have caused a plague.

"If only the court could send someone. Five died today. I had someone burn it secretly. Zheng Wan's face was very bad. Zhu Zhiqing, a bastard, rolled up some food when he left, and he was not afraid of choking. ”

"Has the grain from the Governor's Mansion been counted? Is there any surplus of food for the Jiang family? ”

"It's counted, it's not much, there was originally a locust disaster, the harvest was not good, and the ones allocated by the imperial court were passed through layer by layer, and there were not many people in Xining City. On the Jiang family's side, my brother has already sent some over. Not much, though. I just went to a few rice shops in the city, and they were all quite cooperative, and they sold to us at the previous market price. There is only one Chengjia rice shop. He is the largest rice shop in Xining, and he actually eats behind closed doors there. At this time, they actually began to increase the price of grain. ”

"It's sealed."

"If it was that simple, I did it at the time. Behind the Chengjia rice shop is the Liu family. Liu Guifei's maternal family. It's hard to move. Now that the second prince is gaining momentum, he can't be easily offended. ”

Zheng Shengdong sat upright, with melancholy in his eyebrows.

"But I have a plan." Zheng Wan stepped forward. "Let's steal."

Zheng Shengdong looked at his niece in front of him in surprise. "Nonsense."

"Since we can't come in the shadow, let's do it secretly, we don't have to spend money, and we can teach them a lesson. No matter how you think about it, it's the best of both worlds. Zheng Wan's eyes were full of smiles.

Zheng Shengdong shook his head, "According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, stealing is a serious crime. A gentleman has something to do, and he can do nothing. ”

"Treat villains, don't do this gentleman's courtesy." Zheng Wan played with the hidden weapon in her hand. "Father, this arrest is in our hands. Isn't it up to us to decide? ”

"Shouyun, after so many years, is this what you have learned? Where have you read all the books? Zheng Shengdong said angrily.

"I can't. I just am. Zheng Wan's face turned red. I just can't get used to them. ”

"Shouyun. If you can't get used to it, can you abuse your power? Although our Zheng family has some power, we can't be so willful. Once you start something, you can't get it back. We can't touch this, if we touch it, our Zheng family will fall into a situation from which we will never recover. Zheng Shengdong looked at Zheng Wan and spoke seriously.

"Yes, my father-in-law taught. Shouyun knew that he was wrong. The matter of Cheng's rice shop, I will think of another thing. ”

"That's fine. You said before that when you were in Xiping, you saw a dark shadow in the sky on this side of Xining? ”

"I've seen it more than once, and the people who sent it out always have no news, and I'm too uneasy, so I don't think it's easy."

Zheng Shengdong handed over a letter, "Su Qin is here." He is a close disciple of the National Teacher. He wouldn't have left Kyoto easily. I'm afraid it's not within our reach. ”

"It seems that we have to be more careful these days, and we must not let this Xining matter expand even more. I went to get ready to meet them. Hopefully things are manageable. ”

"Is there any news over there in Yundu?"

"My brother said everything was getting better. Originally, Yundu belonged to Daqin, and the people were very happy about coming back. I guess after a while, everything will be back on track. The few princes on Liang Chu's side fought fiercely. There is no time for anything else. Our people are doing their best to assist the three princes in ascending to the throne. He has always been peaceful, and it depends on whether he can do it this time. It's just that it seems that it's not just us who are stirring up in it. ”

"Although Liang Chu is wild, he is brave and good at fighting. Even the three princes may not always maintain their original intentions. It's okay if we have this time to recuperate. You can arrange the things that the imperial court has sent over. ”

"Yes. Father-in-law. You rest more. It's so hard these days. There's me here. Shouyun will not disappoint his father-in-law. ”

Zheng Shengdong smiled and nodded. "Sometimes when I see you, I really feel like I've seen Pingsheng."

Zheng Wan's eyes widened slightly. The second brother was sour in his heart, "Shouyun went down first." ”

As soon as he left the courtyard, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes. Who? Zheng Wan's chest tingled, ah, what's going on? It hurts.

"Shouyun, what's wrong with you?" Feng Zixuan, who was at the door, hurriedly supported the crumbling Zheng Wan. Cold sweat ran across Zheng Wan's forehead. The pain made Zheng Wan a little dazed, and her fingers pinched her palm, trying to divert the pain. After a moment, Zheng Wan slowly eased up.

"It's fine."

"What's going on? There is something wrong with the body. I went to the doctor. Feng Zixuan was very anxious.

Zheng Wan pushed Feng Zixuan away, stood up again, and took a deep breath, "No need." I'm fine. Maybe I've been tired lately. Did you see anything unusual just now? ”

"No, I don't. What's wrong? Feng Zixuan looked around.

"I seem to see a dark shadow." Zheng Wan was a little confused. That seems to be too fast.

"It's just the two of us in this place. If it weren't for someone, I wouldn't have been unaware. Feng Zixuan shook his head. Could it be that you saw it in Xiping before? Feng Zixuan's brows furrowed slightly, "Won't there really be any demons and monsters?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense. These are just the world's own fears. Let's talk about that. Zheng Wan's chest was still a little hot, "Su Qin and Su Gongzi will come here in a few days." Maybe he can help us answer that question. ”

Su Qin, the national teacher, the black shadow, this seems unusual. Recently, I often have nightmares, Bi Fang, Ying Long, does it have anything to do with this?

"Oh, by the way, you asked me to check Bi Fang before. I found it. It is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. To give. Feng Zixuan took out half of the tattered books from his arms. I finally found it. Let's make do with it. ”

"Thank you." Zheng Wan put the book away, "Let's go and arrange the guest room first." ”
