When Cheng Ziyu was the most difficult, she received a letter from Jingxi again, and her father took the initiative to take over the Cheng family, and said that when the Cheng family was so difficult, who else would I have?

This news made Cheng Ziyu sit there for a full hour without moving.

This scumbag father makes her wonder whether to believe that he has changed his past wrongs, or whether he is sure that his nature is easy to change.

Although it is said that Cheng Rui has been very quiet in the past year, he has been working in the workshop every day, and only occasionally goes out to have tea with old friends.

Although it is said that even the workshop manager said that the skills of the master have not only recovered to the level before the business, but also improved a lot more than back then.

Although Cheng Rui's so-called "takeover" is only the shipment and coordination of the workshop, and does not include external affairs......

But Cheng Ziyu is still not at ease.

is not only for this father's character, but also for fear that he will be used by outsiders.

But is there any other choice for her?

At this time when Cheng Ziyu was particularly embarrassed, He Sijing stood up.

"Ziyu, I'll go. The Cheng family has cultivated me, and this is the most suitable time for me to go. He Sijing took the initiative to speak. In terms of foreign affairs, you should be able to rest assured that there are master craftsmen in the workshop. Although my surname is He, but in the end, I am the eldest aunt, and with my mother's protection, it should be no problem. ”

Cheng Ziyu opened her mouth, in fact, what she was worried about, where was the workshop and trading?

"Don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow, you match me with two good horses, I'll ride a horse, you can go faster."

"Ming...... Tomorrow? "Cheng Hongyu's voice is like a mosquito fly." So fast. ”

Cheng Ziyu heard it, and when she saw Hongyu's brows knotted, she pulled the handkerchief, and secretly looked at He Sijing, she couldn't help but yell at He Sijing:

"But you know, it may not be an easy road. Recently, there have been many displaced people, robbers, and victims, and there have been epidemics in some places, coupled with weather conditions, heavy rains, flash floods, and mountain collapses......"

"I ...... I'll go back too! Ruby stood up. I'm going back to Jingxi too. I can also ride a horse, I can ride well, I want to ride back to Jingxi. ”

After a sudden resoluteness, she added with no confidence:

"I don't worry about my mother, there is no one available in Jingxi, I can go and fight."

He Sijing smiled at Hongyu: "It's not been peaceful recently, the road is not safe, you wait in the capital obediently." I'll be back when this time is over. Don't worry, your second brother will soon enter Beijing to take the exam. I'll come back with him when the time comes. My mother will also enter Beijing. ”

"No, I don't, I ...... I'm going back with you. ”

He Sijing's eyes burned, and Cheng Hongyu's face was slightly red. "I said I was going back to Beijing. I have to go back. ”

"Then tell me, do you just want to go back, or do you want to go back with me?" He stepped forward and took Ruby's hand. "It has to be made clear."

No matter how much Hongyu wanted to shake her hand, she couldn't shake it off.

Cheng Ziyu laughed.

Finally, reconciliation is expected.

That guy Hongyu has recently learned from Wen Lan, and he clearly wants to reconcile, but he can't get down the ladder. At this moment, when I was in a hurry, all that little bit of thought was transformed into panic......

Cheng Ziyu never thought of letting them go back.

Because before them, she had already taken the initiative to ask Ying to go back to help her preside over the overall situation.

Undoubtedly, he is the best candidate.

Cheng Ziyu has long known that he has been in the painting in his past life and present life.

She knows what the Cheng family has suffered in the past two lives, and knows what the Cheng family will fall into if they are a little careless. She not only knew Zhu Changan's calculations, but also knew Zhu Changjue's calculations, including private salt. knows more about all the confrontations between Cheng Ziyu and those villains.

Therefore, only by entering the painting can we avoid all kinds of things in the open and in the dark to the greatest extent, protect the whole family to the greatest extent, and help Cheng Ziyu to the greatest extent.

This is one.

It is more appropriate to enter the painting than He Sijing. She is not only familiar with the Cheng family and the workshop, but also familiar with the buying and selling matters, the process and even the entire Jingxi pottery industry because she has followed her for many years. The third uncle is not there, she can replace the role of Sister Wen Wen and help support the Cheng family temporarily. This is two.

The third point is that what happened around Sister Wen Wen and the third uncle made Cheng Ziyu feel that the Cheng family might have been mixed with ghosts, or someone was making trouble. If you want to catch ghosts, whether it is an inner ghost or an external ghost, it is most suitable for her to observe and do it, and it is more convenient.

And the most important point is that Cheng Ziyu is the person Cheng Ziyu trusts the most.

In a certain sense, the painting is more reliable than the red jade He Sijing or even the third uncle.

Cheng Ziyu also has some very important plans, the final retreat and the plan just in case, must be done by the most trusted people. I know that she understands her, and I know that I understand her, and I can deal with it in line with her style, which is the best choice!

In addition, Cheng Ziyu is also afraid that Hongyu and He Sijing will be targeted again, no matter what, the risk of entering the painting to the south is much smaller than that of Hongyu.

Merely......

"Into the painting, I ...... I'm sorry for you. Cheng Ziyu hugged her tightly.

Guilty.

Extremely guilty.

The kindness of the previous life has not been repaid!

In this life, I owe it again.

He Sijing still doesn't know how many ghosts and disgusting methods the Cheng family is secretly facing, but how can he not know about the painting?

From the time he entered the painting and accompanied him to the west, he should have known that the Cheng family had been rolling in predicament and desperate situations. Every time there is a crisis, the slightest carelessness will cost a small life.

She knew the final fate of her previous life, but she still had no worries as in her previous life.

Cheng Ziyu didn't know how to speak, only gratitude.

She thought that she was going well step by step in this life, but in the end...... is still being pressed step by step, or relying on the painting to go south, or has it come to such a situation.

There was no hesitation in replying to the painting.

"Take the words of the young master, the Cheng family raised me. So the Cheng family is my home, my home, I naturally have to protect it, my family, of course I have to protect it. So there's no need for Miss to be so emotional. ”

"I'm not going to let you have anything to do."

Cheng Ziyu pulled into the painting and filled her with a glass of wine. "The kindness of the two worlds, as long as I can repay it, you want you to speak. Into the painting, I respect you, thank you! This grace must be repaid in this life! So, no matter what, you're going to give me a good treat! In the future, we will be happy and healthy together! ”

Cheng Ziyu fell asleep with the painting that night, and the two whispered a lot, not only memories and longings, but also many plans.

Cheng Ziyu wrote letters to He's, Mrs. He, her brother, and the various housekeepers of Cheng's mansion respectively, and handed over part of the private certificates used as proof of identity to the painting.

"From the moment you arrived in Jingxi, the entire Cheng family was handed over to you. Whoever is disobedient will leave directly. Including my father, if he presses you, moves you, or persecutes you, you don't have to talk nonsense with him, and you don't need to ask anyone, just take him down and lock him up. If he resists, you will do it, and you will have no scruples, but you will raise my name, and I will bear everything.

Also, Ziyi Xuan's silver can be used at will, without anyone's consent. In terms of buying and selling, you can no longer take jobs for the time being, and wait for this period of time to pass.

I have enough manpower for you, and if there is any change, you have full authority to deal with it. If there is a situation, don't think about informing me first, far water can't quench your thirst, and you really can't deal with it, so you take the token and find King Zhe. ”

Cheng Ziyu also prepared a large number of medicines and written prayer posts.

"Help me take care of Sister Wenwen, this is the famous doctor I heard about treating cough diseases, and when the time comes, please take a look at it. Third uncle, you can help me explain. ”

Into the painting left.

Cheng Ziyu sent more than a dozen people to escort him.

And into the painting, in order not to make their group too conspicuous, so there are nearly ten masters hidden in the shadows.

What Cheng Ziyu didn't know was that Cheng Ziyu didn't tell her in order not to have too much burden, but the fact was that not far from her, a group of people in disguise were arranged to escort her.

There were a hundred people escorting her south.

is not only responsible for the present and tomorrow of Jingxi Cheng's family, but also because she is in the painting.

It's someone Cheng Ziyu cares about and must protect!

Facts have proved that Cheng Ziyu's worries are not groundless.

The hands behind the scenes no longer intended to cover them, but directly exposed their minions.

The group in the painting was indeed assassinated on the way.

Cheng Ziyu's caution prevented them from succeeding.

The other party never thought that a little maid was just a little maid, and the guards around him were so strict.

The assassination was unsuccessful.

The killer took advantage of the terrain and escaped most of them, and the remaining two survivors were obviously afraid of being forced to interrogate, so they committed suicide first.

This action made Cheng Ziyu even more aware of the intention of the people behind the scenes to attack the Cheng family and her. She almost decided from the bottom of her heart that the culprit was Zhu Changjue.

Only, the dead?

Do you need it?

Why are these dead men used in such a place?

It's too small, and it's too big, right?

Cheng Ziyu was inevitably uneasy.

She is very clear about Zhu Changjue's personality and methods.

Zhu Changjue made up his mind to do it, and there was absolutely no loss-making business. Therefore, he either has a follow-up, or he has a plan to go deeper.

He did something to enter the painting, in addition to revenge himself, he must be afraid that the painting would hurt him.

This also reaffirms the necessity of going to the painting.

Cheng Ziyu was scared, and she just wanted to enter the painting and arrive safely.

When the news came that the painting had arrived in Jingxi and merged into Cheng's mansion, Cheng Ziyu finally had to breathe.

In the painting, he took power strongly, and the He family did his best to help, and the Cheng family did not see chaos for the time being.

And the group of people who followed her, except for the two secret guards who came back to report the news, the others stayed in Jingxi. The task of these people is to guard the Cheng family, enter the Cheng family, inspect the Cheng family, and protect the Cheng family, Cheng Ziyu will never allow anyone in the Cheng family to have an accident.

In this way, the Cheng family, including the workshop, has more than 100 guards who have been recruited in the past year or so. Coupled with Li Chun's personal guards previously assigned, the masters who have recently gone to Jingxi one after another and stayed, as well as Li Chun's personal guards who were brought to Jingxi this time, and the thirty Kang Anbo guards that Zhu Changzhe insisted on leaving to the Cheng family, the total number of guards of the Cheng family in Jingxi has reached more than 300 people.

Cheng Ziyu believes that with this number and combat effectiveness, no matter who really wants to do it, they must also weigh it. Moreover, the workers, craftsmen and apprentices of the workshop also have a total of one or two thousand people, and if they carry weapons, they can be regarded as more or less combative......

At least, such a Cheng family, bluffing is enough! If Zhu Changjue really has plans for the Cheng family, then he should not be able to do anything in the face of such a defense in a short period of time.

But Cheng Ziyu knew that the secret people were becoming more and more unscrupulous step by step, and it should not be far from the other party's full action.

Cheng Ziyu only hopes that Li Chun's side will finish the matter quickly, she believes that as long as she gets through this critical period, everything will be able to open up suddenly.

And the variables are finally starting to emerge.

Although the epidemic has been controlled, all kinds of bad rumors about Zhu Changzhe have begun to increase.

Inexplicably, it is said that Zhu Changzhe colluded with the local yamen in Hongze and engaged in greed during the construction of the dam.

The reason why he was able to carry out such a huge project so quickly was not because he was outstanding, but because he was not honest, saying that he did not use thousands of pounds of stones to reinforce the entire dam according to the original engineering process, but only used stones on the periphery of the dam, and in fact it was filled with sediment, which not only accelerated the progress but also saved costs.

To say that the entire Hongze Dam is just a bluffing, paper tiger-like fake project.

It is said that Zhu Changzhe not only colluded with the government governor to embezzle one-third of the construction money, but also extorted a large number of masonry porters and engineering teams from up and down the money, and because of his greed for merit, he repeatedly shortened the project period, disregarding human life, thus causing a lot of human life, and colluding with the local government to suppress it.

Rumors are all based on one mouth.

When this kind of unsubstantiated and obvious nonsense rumor appeared, although Zhu Changzhe heard about it, he did not take it too seriously, but chose to focus on the final capping of the dam and disaster relief work.

Tiangong is really not beautiful, this is autumn, and there are still two rains from time to time, but it seems that God deliberately makes things difficult.

In Zhu Changzhe's busyness, another wave of rumors arrived.

said that the reason why the epidemic was not effectively controlled at the beginning was because Zhu Changzhe intentionally or unintentionally delayed.

Rumors come in full force:

said that the landslide encountered by the medical team headed by the imperial doctor was actually planned by Zhu Changzhe. This can explain why this kind of natural and man-made disasters that occasionally occur in Jiangnan are coincidental and coincidental to the imperial medical team.

And Zhu Changzhe's purpose is to set up his own medical team, so as to facilitate his greed for money and money.

He also said that the medicinal materials purchased by Zhu Changzhe were all problematic.

He said that his people had been secretly buying many counterfeit medicines and expired damp and spoiled medicines to reduce costs, and colluded with the medical team to make false quotations, while looting from the disaster relief and epidemic prevention money issued by the imperial court, and deliberately controlling the entire medical treatment progress to maximize the benefits.

In and out of the words, it was pointed out that Zhu Changzhe was deliberately delaying and deliberately allowing the epidemic to be serious to a certain extent, so that he could earn both silver and military merits. He is not only a careerist, but also a conspirator!

It's just that these rumors didn't have much impact, and both the court and the people soon seemed to be blown away by the wind......

On the other side, Kang Amber and the Wako finally confronted each other head-on.

The Japanese fleet suddenly attacked, and the Great Zhou fleet had already prepared.

The Great Zhou naval army took advantage of the terrain to ambush on the two islands and won a small battle. Hundreds of enemies were annihilated, and five fishing boats and one medium-sized merchant ship were recaptured.

The Japanese retreated in a hurry, and the Zhou army gave chase, starting a chase at sea. The Japanese fled for dozens of miles at sea, and the naval army arranged by Kang Anbo had already waited in front of the Japanese people, and the Zhou army before and after launched a siege against the Japanese people.

When the Japanese retreated, they occupied a strait that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The two groups formed a confrontation in this way.

And for Kang Amber, all they have to do is wait.

The Japanese people were trapped inside the strait, which was equivalent to cutting off supplies. Instead of taking the risk of attacking, it is better to block the end of the strait, and wait for the Japanese people to surrender automatically without spending a single soldier......

The Northwest is also marked.

After Zhu Chang'an's body recovered slightly, Bai Heng ordered the deputy general to stay in the northwest with a large army, and personally escorted Zhu Changan back to Beijing with 5,000 people.

After walking for three hundred miles, seeing that there were less than a hundred miles to go out of the desert, Bai Heng and his party encountered an ambush.

Beiban had already heard that King An would return to Beijing, so naturally he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

They had only one goal: to capture King An alive.

In addition to revenge, it is also in exchange for benefits.

Seeing that it is autumn, as long as King An is won, then not to mention this winter, there is no need to worry about the materials for the next three or five years. Maybe he can catch King An in exchange for a large piece of fertile pasture in the coming year.

Their confidence is not because King An is valuable, but because they know that the Great Zhou, as a great country, wants to save face, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou is even more self-proclaimed as the Son of Heaven, so he naturally does not allow his blood to become a prisoner and become a stain during his reign.

So even if it is only for the face of the Son of Heaven and the face of Da Zhou, Da Zhou will do whatever it takes to exchange for this prince. Therefore, all the northern barbarian departments are ready to move, and they have the same meaning of no matter the cost.

It's just that Bai Heng didn't expect that Zhu Chang'an's month-long recuperation at a distance of 800 miles from Beijing would have caused these barbarian tribes that had been in constant friction to form an alliance for a short time, and they were blocked on their way back to Beijing like a city wall......

It's a shame, this place is only 500 miles away from the capital. Bai Heng was a little annoyed, and couldn't help but feel some resentment towards the emperor in his heart,

First, seeing that the capital is in sight, but I can't get by, and the number of enemies and friends is ten times worse! If he is not careful, his people have to get in, and no matter how you look at it, it will be a fire.

Second, his original plan was excellent, if it wasn't for the emperor's insistence, why didn't he give the Northern Barbarians a chance, but instead took advantage of Zhu Chang'an's opportunity to stay halfway to make the originally scattered departments temporarily twist into a rope?

As a result, the difficulty of defeating the enemy has simply increased exponentially, adding a lot of trouble to him.

Third, at the moment, he is neither advancing nor retreating. The emperor issued an edict that as long as Zhu Changan woke up, he had to return to Beijing, but the road ahead was full of barbarian soldiers, and it was difficult to break through. Although the whole army will not be wiped out, it is very likely that neither of his two tasks of repelling the enemy army and escorting King An can be completed.

Bai Heng didn't dare to advance, so he could only delay.

What can he do now?

The only way to do this was to mobilize the large army he had left hundreds of miles away to come to support. That's the only way. As soon as his army arrived, he would have the confidence to fight against the Northern Barbarian army.

So, Bai Heng worked very hard to start all kinds of hypocritical negotiations with the barbarian army, talking about conditions, breaking through, pursuing, and hiding in the desert terrain......

In Beijing, Li Chun has been away for three months.

When this autumn is high and cool, Cheng Ziyu's heart is always burning, which makes her always feel uneasy.

She was no longer in the workshop.

The workshop is in the south of the city, which is too congested, and she can't get a lot of news in the first place. Therefore, during this time, she stayed back in the General's Mansion and integrated various news every day.

In the past few days, she gradually felt that maybe Zhu Changan was doing more in secret than she imagined.

This year is indeed not good, it was like this in the previous life. The disasters continue to occur, and disasters come after disaster, which is one of the reasons why she insisted on building one good hall after another last year.

But this life seems to be much worse than the previous life. Especially the continuous disasters in the south of the Yangtze River, Cheng Ziyu felt that someone was taking advantage of that opportunity to make trouble, so Zhu Changan had a layout everywhere before? Or does he really cooperate with Zhu Changjue?

But Zhu Changjue hasn't seen anyone at this moment, what is the meaning?

Li Chun came to a letter ten days ago, saying that everything was going well.

Since it went well, then there is another month, and it is time to come back.

She didn't understand.

She thought that the troublemakers were going to do something to themselves when Li Chun left, but there was less and less time left for them, and although there were many small disasters around her, she never saw that kind of sharp tricks.

Are you thinking too much? Or are they still planning yet? Are they still holding back a big move?

And in the past few days, I don't know if it's a delusion, Cheng Ziyu feels that there is less news in her hands. Especially in Gangnam......

There is something in her heart, and the little bit of meat she raised a while ago has lost weight again.

The drawings are not well drawn, and the utensils are not well made.

I don't even want to eat every day.

No, today she was still persuaded by Liu Er and them, so she barely ate it.

But for the first time, she was stuck in her throat by a small chicken bone, she couldn't go up, she couldn't go down, she couldn't cough up, she couldn't swallow, and she tossed the chicken bone and hurt her throat, so she coughed up blood.

After a busy meal, both rice and vinegar, she finally barely swallowed the chicken bones, and her heart became even more uneasy.

In fact, she is not the only one who is uneasy, and so is Liu'er.

She and Xia Wei both felt that the aura around the General's Mansion was not quite right. Xia Wei was uneasy, so she took someone out to inspect.

Liu Er wanted to open her mouth to break the condensation, but she also felt that she was lacking in interest.

"Or, the master will go to Princess Wenlan to relax?"

"I don't want to go." Cheng Ziyu lay down on the bed.

It was the moment of depression that Xia Wei hurriedly came.

"Master, the young master has been brought into the palace."

"What?" Cheng Ziyu sat up suddenly.

"It's said that there was a problem with the batch of goods."

"Change, fast. Do you know which shipment it is and what the problem is? ”

The heart tightened, and there was a flurry of beats.

"I don't know. It's something that just happened, it seems that an adult entered the palace and went to the emperor to cry, and told the Cheng family and the Cheng family workshop fiercely. Then the young master was taken away. It was taken away directly, oh, it's not the government, it was the emperor's person who went to mention it himself. ”

It's coming, it's still coming!

Cheng Ziyu's legs were weak and her back was soaked, she had a hunch that what she was afraid of had already begun.

If it was just a matter of ordinary trading, the emperor would not only not care, but would also look at Li Chun's face and press it down. And who is going to look for this bad luck? The other party directly found the emperor, either justifiably or desperately, so it must be a big deal.

But what can happen to the goods, and you need to poke it in front of the king?

"My surname is Cheng, I am the head of the Cheng family, why didn't anyone come to take me?"

And in the next moment, Cheng Ziyu had the urge to slap herself.

Crow's mouth, crow's mouth!

Someone outside came in a hurry to report.

Someone came to the palace and announced her entry into the palace.

……
