Chapter 78 (2nd Watch)
In the main hall room, someone told Cheng Yao that the second son was coming, Cheng Xiang nodded, waited for Cheng Guzhi, waited for a while, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see him, Cheng Yao couldn't help but ask the waiter, "Why hasn't Brother Gu come in yet?" Check it out? β
Someone should be, went out to take a look, and came back and said, "The second son was entangled by the little sons and young ladies." β
Cheng Xiang said with a smile, "He is the favorite of children." β
The waiter also smiled and said, "Every time the second son goes out and comes back, he brings gifts to the little young ladies and young ladies, and the little sons and young ladies naturally like the second son." β
Cheng Xiang nodded, "He has also reached the age when he should say goodbye, he has been dragging it out for the first two years, and now in my opinion, he can't hold it anymore, and he is still holding it." Go back and ask someone to draw up a list of young ladies from each family, I'll take a look, and let him choose by himself. β
The one who waits should be.
After a short time, Cheng Guzhi entered the main hall house, and when he stepped into the threshold, he paused and walked in. Seeing Cheng Xiang sitting on the pear blossom chair drinking tea, he stepped forward to salute, "Grandpa." β
"Well, you're back?" Cheng Xiang looked up and down, different from Cheng Yao, his eyebrows were kind, and he said softly, "Fortunately, I came back unharmed, after you left, I was always worried that something would happen to you outside." β
Cheng Guzhi said softly, "Nothing happened, no one paid attention to me." β
Cheng Xiang beckoned and asked Cheng Guzhi to sit down, "Tell me about what you have gained from this trip." β
"I didn't gain anything, but I gained some insight and lessons." Cheng Guzhi added one or two more to what Cheng Yao said, and said it again.
Deeply concealed that Su Zi was not in Fengcheng, Huayan was in Fengcheng, and Xiao Yu, the commander of the Anyang Army, was very powerful.
After listening to Cheng Guzhi's experience of going to Fengcheng, Cheng Xiang nodded, didn't say anything, and saw that he looked tired, so he let him rest.
Cheng Guzhi really didn't have the energy to deal with Cheng Xiang, so he obediently walked out of the main hall and returned to his yard.
After Cheng Guzhi left, Cheng Xiang said to the people around him, "Go and call Cheng Yao over." β
The people around him should have been, and they went immediately.
Not long after, Cheng Yao hurriedly came to the main hall, saw Cheng Xiang, saw his face was heavy, and asked, "Father, what happened?" β
Cheng Xiang said to him, "Have you seen Brother Gu?" β
Cheng Yao nodded, "I've seen it, after he came back, I called him to the study." β
Cheng Xiang asked, "Now that you've seen him, can you find that something is wrong with him?" β
Cheng Yao frowned and said, "Father said that he came back in embarrassment?" When the words fell, he said angrily, "This unfilial son, he took it upon himself to bring ten carts of rice grain to Fengcheng, but it turned out to be useless, and he came back disgraced." When I asked him, could you see that Su Zi was beheaded? He even accused me of not asking about disaster relief, not caring about the lives of the people, and only caring about Su Ziqi. β
Cheng Xiang sighed after hearing this, "I didn't ask you this, I asked you if you found out that he had something on his mind?" β
Cheng Yao's face was not good-looking, "What can he have on his mind?" None of the large number of secret guard killers sent by our Cheng family to Fengcheng have not returned, and they don't even know what Su Ziqi is doing now, I am anxious all day, he can't help, and he even has a naΓ―ve temperament. Especially when he went to Fengcheng, not only did he not see Su Ziqi, but he also didn't know anything about Fengcheng. β
Cheng Xiang looked at him disapprovingly, and said angrily, "Look at your appearance, from childhood to adulthood, every time you see him, you will only teach him a lesson." Fengcheng is so dangerous now, he can come back with all his heads, in my opinion, it is very good. He seems to have been hit by something, and he is no longer what he used to be, and you only know to reprimand him, so you don't ask him what is in his heart? A few words of relief? β
Cheng Yao rubbed his eyebrows, "Father, you are too spoiled by him, and you spoil him so much, now at such a critical juncture, how can I pay attention to him?" The words fell, and he said, "I said two years ago that he would take over some affairs of the clan, but you said that it was not yet time to let him cultivate his body for another two years, and now that it is good, you can see what he has done?" In my opinion, he should also suffer some blows to know that it is not easy for our family to survive. β
Cheng Xiang glared, "If you say this, it's not mine." β
Cheng Yao immediately shook his head, "Don't blame the father, my son is quick to speak for a while, and you are also for his good." β
Cheng Xiang sighed when he heard this, "You're right, it's only because I raised this child too well, I never thought that this year's heavy rain and the Black Dragon River burst its embankment, which will put the northern land into a state of rusi, and also put our Cheng family in a state of rusi." β
Cheng Yao said, "So, the arrow is on the string, and I have to send it." A few decades ago, the Black Dragon River burst its embankment, we hid it, and now we can't pick it clean, once we can't kill Su Zi and let him gain power in the north, then the things that our Cheng family did are the great sin of the Nine Clans. Even if the Queen Mother is alive, I'm afraid she won't be able to protect us. β
Cheng Xiang nodded, "Brother Gu went on a trip, although he came back after being hit, it wasn't that he didn't bring back the news at all." He said that now Fengcheng's disaster relief is going well, An Ke killed An Yu and took refuge in Su Zi, and soon after, An Ke was killed by a large number of black-clothed killers, Su Zi was furious, and now the whole city of Fengcheng is under martial law to track down the murderer. Therefore, it can be seen that Su Ziqi is still in Fengcheng, but Gu Ge'er is the Cheng family, and he doesn't want to see the Cheng family. β
Cheng Yao immediately said, "In this way, Su Ziqi still doesn't know about our Cheng family killing him?" Otherwise, he categorically would not let Gu Ge'er come back. β
Cheng Xiang said, "Not necessarily, it was about deliberately letting him back, in short, things are not simple." It can be seen that Su Zi is really not a simple person, he lives up to his reputation and is very powerful. β
Cheng Yao said, "Father, what should we do?" β
Cheng Xiang said, "Wait for me to write a secret letter and ask what it means." β
Cheng Yao bowed, "Father wants to kill Su Zi as soon as possible, and we can't let him deliver news to Beijing anymore." β
Cheng Xiang nodded and said suspiciously, "Can you find out, how did he deliver the news and twists to Beijing?" β
Cheng Yao shook his head and said suspiciously, "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent Mei Shuyan, the eldest prince of Meifu, to Zhaoyuan, Zhaoyuan is the only way to enter Beijing. But he had just arrived in Zhaoyuan, and he hadn't done much. The post stations along the way are still the same as before. Therefore, Su Zi's secret letter and twists must not have taken the post station, otherwise we would definitely be able to intercept it. I don't know which way he was sent to the capital. β
"It must be a dark line." Cheng Xiang said, "It must be buried very deep in our northern land." β
Cheng Yao wondered, "Some of the hidden piles buried by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the north, didn't we quietly pick them when he went to the southwest realm?" Otherwise, we won't be able to keep the Northland under wraps for half a year. β
Cheng Xiang said, "This is also my strangeness, could it be that Su Zi cut his own dark line?" Or is it the dark line of the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion? When the words fell, he shook his head first, "Su Ziqi has been suffering from cold since he was born, and he is frail and sickly, if he is in the dark line of the Northland, it is impossible for us not to know, even the secret stake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been picked, let alone his?" As for Wu Weihou, it is impossible. β
Cheng Yao frowned, "But now, what's going on?" β
Cheng Xiang was also puzzled, thought deeply for a moment, and suddenly said in his mind, "It's the Hua family, yes, it's the Hua family, it must be the Hua family." β
"Huh?" Cheng Yao was surprised, "The Hua family is in a safe corner, and for several generations, the children and grandchildren have not made a big difference, and they have been staying in the size of Lin'an. Lin'an is farther away from the north than the capital, and my father said that the Hua family, is he thinking too far? β
"No, it must be the Hua family." Cheng Xiang said, "The Hua family is not a corner of the country at all, and the Hua family is very powerful. Do you still remember the Queen Mother's intention to repent of her marriage? And what Brother Gu said when he came back after taking the eight girls to Lin'an? If the Hua family has no ability, the Queen Mother may suffer in a muffled voice, and even did the thing of rubbing her edict all over the world, but she didn't pursue it. Therefore, the Hua family must have a dark line in the Northland. Although the dark line of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is excepted, we did not expect the dark line of the Hua family. β
Cheng Yao was suspicious when he heard this, "Father, do you think it's possible?" Flower family? β
"How could it not be? In this world, nothing is impossible. Cheng Xiang said, "Hurry up and send someone to check the dark line of the Hua family in the north." Once it was found, it was all picked. β
Cheng Yao saw that Cheng Xiang was excited, and he couldn't help but believe it, and said hatefully, "If it is true that the Hua family is privately helping Su Zi to make waves in the north, I will definitely find them all out, uproot and clean them up." Don't worry, father, I'll arrange it. β
"Go." Cheng Xiang immediately waved his hand and urged Cheng Yao.
Cheng Yao hurriedly left the main hall and went immediately.
Cheng Xiang immediately after Cheng Yao called the confidants around him and ordered, "Pass my order and send my wind spirit guard out to investigate the dark line of the Hua family in the north." Once it is found, it is removed. β
The confidant responded, "Go immediately." β
