Chapter 007: You Have to Marry a High-ranking Official's Son

Du, who sneaked into the house from the back alley, gradually saw the back of the main courtyard sweeping away, and his eyes suddenly became deep......

As Cheng Xiao returned home, Shen Changying stopped all movements.

The next time I went to the yamen to check the two files, and the sky darkened in the calm of the house.

Only the heavy clouds floating in the sky showed that tonight was indeed a suitable day for something to happen.

Before dinner, the streets began to be noisy again, and all kinds of vendors selling lanterns vied with each other.

"There are fifteen guards on duty tonight, half more than usual, Yang Chan is in charge of the lead, but he and Du gradually don't care about patrolling, so it may not appear."

Zi Yan brought the news he heard, and then made a gesture: "The two girls and slaves are also all tied, and they promise that they won't wake up until dawn tomorrow!" ”

After saying this, Shaoqing and Huang Ji Zhou Liang also returned to the team.

"At the beginning of the child, we began to arm, Huang Ji was in charge of the side of the peers, Zhou Liang was in charge of Cheng Mei's sisters and brothers, Shaoqing cooperated with me, and was responsible for Cheng Xiao and his wife and the capture of thieves.

"If you can't save others, you can't help it, don't be reluctant, the overall situation is important. Based on the other party's twenty people, our goal is to win at least half of them, whether they live or die. ”

"It's not the first time we've done it, and we all already know what to do." Zhou Liang nodded and said.

"Then eat first." Changying stood up, "After a while, let's start acting when it's time!" ”

Du gradually handed over his duties to the guards under the corner gate and went directly to Yang Chan's room.

Four or five dishes were already on the table, as well as the five catties of wine I bought yesterday.

Two hours later, Du gradually shook him as he fell on the table, but the latter did not respond. He got up, put him on the bed, dragged the quilt over him, and went out.

Cheng Xiao ate late for dinner, and he developed a habit of socializing every day.

When I put down the dishes and chopsticks, it rained outside the window again, and the fine rain was illuminated by the light, and it became countless silver threads, spread out outside the eaves.

He stood in the corridor for a while, and entered the study as usual, Cheng Rong was already waiting here with a book.

Every day after dinner is the time when he checks his son's homework, the Cheng family is barely a scholar, and his grandfather is also a protégé of the Son of Heaven at that time.

Although he understood the importance of drilling camps, he still did not dare to fall behind in his homework.

Today's recitation is the "Book of Songs", but what Cheng Rong memorized, Cheng Xiao may not have listened to it at all.

The uneasiness of the day still haunts him.

He knew that this had nothing to do with today's flower festival, nor did it have anything to do with this rain, it had been around for a long time, but it had finally turned into a dark cloud pressing on his heart through these external factors.

"I'm done." Cheng Rong stole his father's face and said. A ten-year-old child doesn't know when he has learned to read faces.

Cheng Xiao felt that his appearance was inevitably obscene, but he couldn't talk about him, because maybe he often showed this kind of appearance.

He is not born to be opportunistic, if he must be investigated, maybe it is related to a hint given to him by his brother Luo Yuan when he went to Beijing to report on his work six years ago?

Eight years ago, the emperor and his relatives had a contest, and when it was fierce, Gu Zhe, the marquis of Dongping, once led more than ten people to win the crown in the court.

The court situation was paralyzed for a while, and the emperor closed the palace for three days, and finally issued an order to keep it, and at the same time set up the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince.

Clear-sighted people know that this is the result of a compromise between the imperial power and his relatives.

Since then, the Marquis of Dongping has become even more powerful, and there are few people in the court who can match it.

As a result, the situation in the DPRK has been stable for a few years, but six years ago, something big suddenly happened.

The Marquis of Dongping suddenly contracted a serious illness, paralyzed in bed and unable to manage politics, and the party of relatives led by the Gu family suddenly became scattered.

The prince of Dongping hurriedly pushed the prince to be the backbone, but at the same time, the nobles and scholars in the court repeatedly rose up and supported the emperor.

Wu Guogong, Marquis of Wuning, Marquis of Guangwei, etc., these generals promoted by the emperor and entrusted with reuse, became a powerful force against the descendants.

Since there are still three princes in the palace, even the status of the crown prince does not seem to be so stable.

In the end, the Dongping Marquis Mansion tree has deep roots, and each government secretary has clansmen, and this big tree cannot collapse for the time being, but the struggle between the two parties is becoming increasingly fierce.

He arrived in Beijing at that time, and the original intention of asking Luo Yuan at that time was to ask him to help him get a job in Beijing.

But Luo Yuan asked him if he wanted to be a petty official in the Sixth Ministry, or did he want to seek a greater future?

He was only in his early thirties at the time, and his career had only just begun, so he naturally wanted to seek a bright future.

Luo Yuan showed him the way and asked him to make up for the lack of Changxing Zhizhou under the jurisdiction of Huzhou Prefecture, and said, if this errand is done well, then it will be okay to soar in the future.

In the end, he is also deaf and clear-sighted, and he can see clearly what is going on in the court. Luo Yuan's mentor is the uncle and grandfather of the crown princess, he has this explanation, if he is not already doing things for the prince, what else can he be?

He thought about it for a while, and finally chose to come to Changxing after assessing the situation in the palace.

Every once in a while, Luo Yuan would have a task assigned to him.

Behind Luo Yuan is the prince, and he is one of the minions of the prince in Huzhou.

In the past few years, he has helped the prince do a lot of things, Luo Yuan left his eldest daughter Cheng Tong in the mansion to raise him, promised to do this place, and arranged for Cheng Tong to enter the palace as a side concubine.

The crown princess was referred to by the emperor two years ago, and when the emperor's power collapses, the position of the crown princess will most likely change hands.

Cheng Tong can't get the position of queen, and he can become a favored concubine, and he can also let his Cheng family enjoy it in the future.

But no one thought that half a year ago, the Tobe squire would suddenly leave a bloody letter and hang himself......

The blood book was presented to the Qianqing Palace as quickly as possible, and no one knew what was written on it, but Luo Yuan then sent five hundred miles to send him an urgent letter, telling him to remember to put away the things at hand carefully and never leak them out.

He knew the importance of the thing, but after the initial panic, he gradually relaxed due to the long period of calm.

- Originally, this place is 108,000 miles away from Jingshi, even if they fight inextricably, how could anyone think that there are still people in Jiangnan holding such a fatal thing?

However, Shen Changying's actions hooked out the uneasiness he suppressed.

After all, Tan Shao is not the prince's person......

"Father, can I go back to my room? I had a stomachache and wanted to go to the hut. ”

Cheng Rong, who was holding his stomach, interrupted his reverie, and when he looked at the missing moment, he realized that he had been in a daze for nearly half an hour.

He waved his hand and watched as he sped out with his stomach in his arms.

He sat for a moment and got up.

Back in the bedroom, the lady was still counting her daughter: "No matter how good he looks, he is just a commoner!"

"You are an official lady, and when your sister enters the palace in the future, this identity has to go up to the next level, how can you recruit that kind of person as a husband?!

"Isn't he just good-looking, and then he will do some martial arts!

"Our family is not uncommon, those rough people who fight and kill! If you want to marry, you must at least be the son of a third-grade family or above! ”
