Chapter VII: National Disaster (2)

"Hahaha......" In the conference hall, all the civil and military forces laughed wildly, and their young faces were full of disdain.

In these years, the strong soldiers and horses are strong. In the eyes of local officials, there was not much fear of imperial power left. Liu Chengyou's practice of sending assassins to attack Zheng Ziming made everyone doubt this person's character and intelligence, so his contempt for Liu Han's court became more and more undisguised.

Zheng Ziming himself did not laugh with everyone. Instead, he quickly took a few steps forward, and personally pulled Wang Guang, who was already paralyzed with fright, from the ground. Then he dusted off the placket of his clothes for this person with his own hands, and comforted him gently: "Don't be afraid, Zheng knows that you are acting on orders." Zheng is just strange, Zheng has only been in office for less than half a year, and he is worthy of the court when he asks himself. Why is the imperial court, why is it that the Zhongshu Province is so unpleasant?"

"No, it's not. Yes, it's ......" The little official Wang Guang lowered his head, kept raising his hand to wipe his sweat, and the words that came out of his mouth were also upside down, "It's not that the Chinese book province doesn't like you." Yes, yes, it's Shi Shumi, no, no, no, yes, yes...... Don't be embarrassed by the villain, Lord Zheng. The villain really doesn't know what's going on!"

"Really?" Zheng Ziming smiled slightly, and slowly grasped the handle of the knife in his palm.

"Really, really, full of truth!" "The little official Wang Guang's soul flew away, and he knelt down with a puff, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "My lord, since you know it in your heart, don't force the small ones anymore." The little one is sent to you precisely because it is not satisfactory. If the little one is a well-informed person, he will not be forced to come to find death!"

"Why are you looking for death again? I'm not here in Longtan Tiger's Den?" Zheng Ziming saw this, and his heart immediately became like a mirror. smiled and pulled the little official Wang Guang from the ground again, and said loudly: "Okay, you don't have to be afraid, I won't be difficult for you." Come on, take some local specialties and surprise Lord Wang!"

"Yes!" the guard on duty agreed loudly and ran quickly to the back hall. After a few breaths, a small carved box made of pink and white, I don't know what material was used, was followed by the sun, and the rui qi lingered.

Zheng Ziming took the box from the hand of the guard, and personally handed it to the little official Wang Guang, "Cangzhou is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are no good things. Lord Wang is a guest from afar, and this local product is invited to be accepted by the adult, which can be regarded as a little affection from Zheng to the adult!"

"Folded, folded. Down, how can the lower officials dare to accept your things from adults. Xiaguan, Xiaguan ...... "The little official Wang Guang only wants to return to Bianliang alive to die, how dare he accept Zheng Ziming's "heart"?

"Could it be that Lord Wang looks down on Zheng?" Zheng Ziming suddenly sank his face and stopped drinking in a low voice.

"No, spare my life——! " Wang Guang let out a scream from his mouth, and quickly took the box with both hands and hugged it tightly in his arms. "Your Excellency, spare your life. The next official, the next official will be accepted, this will be accepted!"

"That's right, you're here on orders. No matter what the court's intentions are for Zheng, at least there is no personal grudge between the two of us!" The dark clouds on Zheng Ziming's face quickly dissipated, waved his hand, and added with a pleasant face.

"Yes, yes, Xiaguan, Xiaguan and Adult, Xiaguan has always admired the adult, admired very much!" The little official Wang Guang nodded again and again with sweat, and inadvertently, the beads of sweat fell on the box, and a little peach blossom was quickly splashed.

"Huh?" he shuddered in his heart, and quickly wiped his forehead with a free hand. I thought there was blood on my forehead, so I would dye my sweat red. Looking carefully into the palm of his hand, it was an ordinary water stain, without the slightest color at all.

Obviously, the strangeness came from the small box carved from an unknown material in his arms. When the sweat meets the box, it will suddenly turn into a little pink.

"It was carved from the bones on the chest of the giant kun. To the east of Cangzhou is a large shoal, where giant carp are always infested in the summer, causing harm to fishermen. Zheng hated his viciousness, so he shot a few heads with a bed crossbow. Zheng Ziming's voice came from above, with an obvious taste of showing off.

"Giant, giant kun!" Wang Guangshou suddenly shuddered a few more times, and almost threw the box on the ground.

Anyone who has read the book knows the description of the giant kun in Zhuangzi's getaway. 'There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is!' In reality, although the Kun is not as huge as described in the book, it is at least a dozen zhang long, as tall and short as a palace, and it can not find any opponent in the sea.

It was such a ferocious behemoth that was slaughtered by Zheng Ziming, and even the bones were carved into a jewelry box! In this way, how strong will Zheng Ziming's force be? I am afraid that Li Xiaogong and Wang Yanzhang will be reborn, and at most they will have a tie with him. In case this person is forced by the imperial court to rush and swing his army south, with the current situation that the monarchs and ministers in the court are out of harmony and the soldiers are disheartened, who can stand up and stop his troops?

Heavy, incredibly heavy. The little official Wang Guang asked himself if he was not weak, but he was pressed by the box in his arms. The two thighs, as if out of strength, were sore, soft, and trembling.

And Zheng Ziming showed that he was inconsiderate of his feelings. He smiled and added casually, "It's just a bigger fish, but it's not that fierce." The meat is too fat to eat, so it can only be used to refine oil and light lamps! Although it is not as precious as ivory, it can be considered a rarity!,"

"Uh!" The little official Wang Guang's body shook again, and he was almost flashed by the box in his arms.

Meat fat can only be used to refine lamp oil! Bones are used to make small objects, and they are disliked, and their value is not comparable to ivory! This giant kun, the overlord of the sea, when he meets Zheng Ziming, is like a fat pig meeting a butcher! And although the Great Han Kingdom is a hundred times larger than Cangzhou at this moment, the two sides are really fighting each other, and I am afraid that it may not be known who will kill the deer!

A large fan-like hand quickly reached over and held the box between it hit the ground. Immediately, Zheng Ziming's other hand pulled the lid of the box slightly upwards and quickly closed it tightly.

Several soft yellow rays of light shot into the eyes of the little official Wang Guang through the gap. Although it was fleeting, it gave him courage in his heart. Without hesitation, he snatched the box with both hands and held it in his arms.

Gold! A box made of bones contains gold with large ingots! God pity Wang, because he offended his boss, he was sent to this errand that everyone was afraid to avoid! And who would have expected that Wang would be a blessing in disguise this time, and he would earn all the salaries of several lifetimes in one trip!

"Thank you, thank you, for the reward. Small, small grateful, grateful!" Thinking of the scene of taking Huang Cancan's gold ingot and playing with his wife under the lamp after returning home, the little official Wang Guang suddenly felt courage in his heart. first bowed down to Zheng Ziming, and then lowered his voice and added: "My lord is busy with military affairs, and going to report a few days later is actually not a big hindrance." The small, the small one went back, and said that he would report to the upper level, and Liaokou was crossing the border to fight the grass valley. My lord, my lord led my brothers to wait for him, really, I really couldn't get out of my body and go to Bianliang!"

"How does the imperial court usually react, will it implicate you? If that's the case, Zheng Mou really can't care about it!" Seeing that the other party was so upright, not only implicitly implying that he didn't need to go to Bianliang, but also finding a reason for himself, Zheng Ziming didn't want to go too far, smiled, and put himself in this person's shoes.

"It's okay, anyway, the villain is an errand runner. Sending the order of the imperial court to the lord and bringing back the reply of the lord is considered to be a duty. Everything else is the business of the big guys, and it has nothing to do with the villains!" At this moment, Wang Guang responded to the sentence 'wealth and heroic courage', shook his head, and added very arrogantly.

"That's good, the last thing Zheng wants to do is drag down his friends!" Zheng Ziming was very satisfied with his attitude, smiled, and gently bowed his hand. "Come on, take another box of souvenirs out, so that after Lord Wang goes back, he will have an explanation with his boss and colleagues. ”

"Fold it, fold it, thank you, thank you!" Wang Guang habitually wanted to be polite, but when he saw Zheng Ziming's palm that was slowly clenching again, he immediately bowed down and changed his words.

Zheng Ziming smiled and stretched out his hand to hug each other, "That's right, Zheng actually respects all the adults in the court, as well as the emperor." I don't know which one doesn't open his eyes, so he specially stumbled Zheng Mou, and I can't wait to put Zheng to death immediately!"

"Of course it's the emperor!" Wang Guang secretly screamed in his heart, but on his face, he pretended to be sympathetic and angry, his eyes were round, and he said loudly: "But isn't it, some people, just can't see the good of others! Let my colleagues know that my lord is fiercely loyal to the imperial court!"

"Then it's hard!" Zheng Ziming smiled and thanked him, and then shook his head with a very regretful look, "Actually, Zheng Mou can't wait to go back to Bianliang to have a look." It's on the border, three times a day, I really don't dare to leave the brothers at this time, and hide back alone. Alas——!"

Although none of these sentences are true, they have a fake Bianliang accent. The little official Wang Guang heard it familiarly, and immediately asked casually, "My lord, is my lord from Bianliang......?"

Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered the legend about Zheng Ziming's true identity in the court, and he instantly sweated like pulp. Lowered his head and grimaced, I really wanted to give myself a few big mouths!

Zheng Ziming saw this person's performance in his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart. Turning his head, he brought the jewel box from the guards again, and put his hands in this person's arms, "Please take this saurel as well, Lord Wang." Alas, Zheng was confused, forgetting that the adult was a civil official. Someone, help Lord Wang send the souvenirs back to the inn!"

"Thank you, thank you, Lord reward!" The little official Wang Guang was so pressed by two boxes of gold ingots that he couldn't straighten his waist at all. insisted on saluting Zheng Ziming first, and then carefully placed the box at his feet. "Actually, in fact, the villain has also heard some rumors, but I don't know, I don't know......"

As he spoke, he quickly looked left and right, and his eyes were spinning like wheels. Zheng Ziming suddenly understood, waved his hand, and ordered everyone under his command to avoid it for the time being. In a short time, there were only two smiling faces and two pink and white jewelry boxes left in the council hall.

"Okay, there are no outsiders, Lord Wang has something to say, please rest assured and speak boldly. Out of your mouth, into my ears, there will never be a third pair of ears to hear!" Zheng Ziming's voice quickly sounded in the council hall, with a maturity that was not commensurate with his age.

The voice of the little official Wang Guang followed, with a flattering taste like a fake, "The little one listens to the nonsense of his colleagues, and he doesn't know if he should take it seriously." It seems that several old uncles are very righteous in their work. In particular, Li Ye, the envoy of Xuanhui, is the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and has been friends with His Majesty since childhood, and the relationship is extremely close. At the beginning of the year, several officials were involved in Li Shouzhen's rebellion, and they should have been exterminated. But Li Ye entered the palace to see the Queen Mother once, and these people were all cleared of suspicion. It's just a loss of some money!"

"Oh?" Zheng Ziming's voice suddenly turned higher, "Is there such a thing, can you grasp it?"

"It is said that the price is clearly marked, and Tong Su is not deceived. But how specifically, the little one has only heard about it, and has never seen it with his own eyes!" the little official Wang Guang gritted his teeth and said it categorically. "Adults might as well try your best, it's better than being remembered all the time!"
