Chapter 88: Jiang Dingzhong

Speaking of the past, Bai Song and He Lianjun and others were a little sad, Helan City was fashionable and young, and he didn't remember much about the past, but his eyes were still wet, and his uncles and nephews reunited after a long absence, in addition to discussing major events, they also had a little more warmth.

Yu Qingzhi packed up the food, waited for a long time before seeing He Lianjun and others come over, seeing that Yu Qingzhi had packed a table full of meals, most of which were what he liked to eat, Bai Song flashed a touch of appreciation on his face, and boasted, "My nephew and daughter-in-law are attentive, and I see that the dishes are all dishes from the capital, and they are all what I like to eat, so it can be seen that my nephew and daughter-in-law have worked hard."

Listening to Bai Song praise himself, Yu Qingzhi's face was slightly red, but he still said modestly, "Uncle, don't say that, it's just an ordinary home-cooked dish, if there is something that doesn't suit your taste, uncle just tell me."

Everyone sat down one after another, He Lianjun raised his wine glass, and said, "Lianjun, our uncle and nephew haven't seen each other for many years, I remember that when you left home, you were just a little doll for more than ten years, but in a blink of an eye, you also married a wife and a husband, Qingzhi is such a good girl, if your father and mother are here, I am afraid to see it and I am very happy, I am an uncle, I see you today, and I am happy for you, I know that you have great ambitions, no matter what you want to do, I will support you as an uncle."

Bai Song is expressing his stance for what He Lianjun is about to do, although he is a businessman, but the power of his ancestors should not be underestimated, not to mention that he is He Lianjun's own uncle, he used to believe in loyalty and patriotism, and now it is not easy to support He Lianjun's scheme.

He Lianjun made a junior salute to Bai Song and said, "Uncle, rest assured, no matter what the situation is in the future, I will never implicate the Bai family, what I am seeking is not only for me or the He family, but also for the people of the Southern Dynasty."

"Don't worry, I know that no matter what you do, my uncle will support you."

Bai Song stayed in Luming County for six days, and then because the matter in Luming County was over, he had no reason to stay, so he said goodbye to He Lianjun and others and embarked on the return journey by himself.

When he came, he was alone, and when he left, he brought all kinds of Luming County specialties prepared by Yu Qingzhi, and the more he looked at Yu Qingzhi, the more satisfied he became, and when he returned to the capital, he did not forget to secretly go to the grave of He Lianjun's parents to incense the two, and said a lot of good things about Yu Qingzhi.

Luming County is located in the northeast of the territory of the Southern Dynasties, is one of the nine states of the Southern Dynasties, the economic center of Shuozhou, Shuozhou is among the nine states, and is one of the richest, after all, Shuozhou in addition to the developed shipping, there are canal transportation, land transportation, so Shuozhou is indeed the richest state in the Southern Dynasties, from the former Shuozhou's parents and officials are mostly clean and honest people, to Shuozhou is not to seek much economic benefits, just to make two-eyed political achievements in Shuozhou, so that there is a chance to be promoted.

Now Shuozhou's parents are also the old acquaintances of He Lianjun's parents, named Song Chi, is the most upright person, although he is nearly ten years younger than He Lianjun's father, the two are friends who have forgotten their years, in the past, He Lianjun chose to hide in Shuozhou, it is also because Shuozhou has the protection of Song Chi, although their brothers and sisters live a hard life, but they will not lose their lives in Shuozhou.

Song Chi is now not confused, he has been a small prefect in Shuozhou, he was born in a famous family, and he has real talent and learning, he should have entered the center at this age, and has been staying in Shuozhou, but I am afraid that he still has scruples about what happened ten years ago.

He Lianjun came out of the Zhuangzi, and before he entered the house, he saw Yu Qingzhi hurriedly closing the door, and when he saw himself, Yu Qingzhi hurriedly handed the letter in his hand to himself, "Xianggong, this letter was sent from Shuozhou City, and only then Wanyue opened it and read it, saying that something happened in Shuozhou, and I was about to go to Zhuangzi to find you, you can quickly see what's going on."

He Lianjun took out the letter, but after a glance, his face changed greatly, and then beckoned his men to lead the horse, and explained to Yu Qingzhi, "Lady, something happened in Shuozhou City, I have to go, you take care of yourself at home, wait for me to come back."

Yu Qingzhi grabbed his horse when he heard this, "Xianggong, I'll go with you, if there is really anything in Shuozhou, I can also help Xianggong."

Yu Qingzhi was injured last time and his body was not very good, He Lianjun wanted to refuse, but as soon as he thought that he went out that day, Yu Qingzhi was arrested by Xie Feng, so he agreed, just ordered his subordinates to drive the carriage alone, and spread a thick futon in the carriage, and he took the first step, Yu Qingzhi and Jiang Tian and others, and slowly went to Shuozhou City with more than ten subordinates.

Shuozhou was originally a wealthy place in the Southern Dynasty, Yu Qingzhi had never been to Shuozhou City, but He Lianjun was from Shuozhou City to Luming County, he had seen the prosperity of Shuozhou City, he arrived in Shuozhou City, but found that Shuozhou City has long since ceased to be the way it used to be, not only is the market sparsely populated, but there are few vendors who set up stalls, he stopped on the side of the road, and asked a vendor, "Uncle, how did this Shuozhou City become what it is now, I remember that Shuozhou City used to be very prosperous, why is there no one on the street now?"

The vendor looked at him about thirty years old, and the stalls were all not delicate wooden and jade objects, including delicate hosta silver hairpins and slightly rough ornaments, he glanced at He Lianjun and did not answer.

He Lianjun comprehended, took out two taels of silver and put it on the stall, the stall owner. Hurriedly put the silver into his pocket, looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention, then he lowered his voice and said, "Look, this master should be from out of town, right?" This Shuozhou City is not the Shuozhou City of the past for a long time, if you want to know, you might as well go to the Song Governor's Mansion to have a look."

After saying that, the stall owner sighed, then retreated to the back of the stall and refused to say anything again, He Lianjun stood for a while, then turned the horse's head and went in the direction of the Song Mansion in his memory.

Song Chi in Shuozhou City for more than 20 years, deeply loved by the local people, although his residence is simple, but the location is in the center of Shuozhou City, in the past, there were many people, Cheng sent Song Chi their own home production of rice noodles, in the past, this Song Mansion has always been the most lively.

Unexpectedly, it was not only the market in Shuozhou City that became deserted, He Lianjun arrived in front of the Song Mansion, but saw that not only were there no people in front of the Song Mansion, but even the gatehouse was gone.

He Lianjun stood still in front of the Song Mansion, and when he was doubting in his heart, a white-haired old woman came out of the Song Mansion and saw He Lianjun, not only with a puzzled face, but also mysteriously approached He Lianjun and said, "Young man, why did you come to the gate of the Song Mansion? Get out of here quickly, and if you're seen, won't you?"

He Lianjun was even more puzzled, "Old man, isn't this the mansion of the Song Governor's Mansion? How did it become like this?"

The old woman sighed, her face full of grief, "Young man, I won't hide it from you, I was originally the cook of the Song Mansion, in the past, the front of the Song Mansion was very lively, not only the famous families of Shuozhou City, but also the people of the people don't know how many people come and go here, but this is the situation of the past, since Jiang Dingzhong entered Shuozhou City, the people of Shuozhou City have never had a day of peace, even Lord Song has been framed by Jiang Dingzhong, and he has been bedridden for a long time, and this Song Mansion is also declining day by day?"

He Lianjun knew Jiang Dingzhong, or it would be more accurate to hear of Jiang Dingzhong's notoriety.

In the past, when the Duke of Wei was still alive, He Lianjun's father complained at home every day, bluntly saying that Jiang Dingzhong was the first female cadre in the Southern Dynasty, and later the disaster of the He family, although He Lianjun had no exact evidence, he also knew that he was inseparable from Jiang Dingzhong.

Unexpectedly, the He family had already been ruined, but Jiang Dingzhong was still doing evil in the Southern Dynasty and harming the people of the Southern Dynasty.

The layout of the Song Mansion did not change much compared to what he remembered before, and he went straight into the backyard, but he didn't want such a big prefect's mansion. But he didn't even see a single errand man, and it wasn't until he arrived in front of Song Chi's room that he saw Song Chi lying alone on the bed.

He stepped forward and knelt in front of Song Chi's bed and kowtowed to Song Chi, "Uncle Song, I'm late."

Song Chi was not seriously ill, and the Song Mansion was so deserted, but it was because Jiang Dingzhong gave an order to the people of Shuozhou City, and the people of Shuozhou City were not allowed to come to the Song Mansion.

Song Chi raised his eyes to look at He Lianjun, his eyes were dejected, there was no life in his eyes, and he stared at it for a long time before he recognized the person in front of him.

He struggled to get up, his eyes were full of surprise, but he didn't forget to ask, yes, is it the He family boy?"

"Exactly, Uncle Song, it's me who is late."

"How did you get here? Song Chi's dog thief and wolf ambition, if he knows that you are in Shuozhou City, I am afraid that the names of your three brothers and sisters will not be guaranteed, you better go back quickly...... Hurry up ......."

He went to push He Lianjun as he spoke, but the young man in front of him looked firm and did not move, He Lianjun looked at Song Chi quietly and said, "Uncle Song. When I came this time, the people who stayed in Shuozhou City spread the news that I only came here because of the accident in Shuozhou City, and now that I have come, if I don't help my uncle, I really can't feel at ease."

Seeing that he insisted, Song Chi had no choice but to sigh, "You shouldn't have come, now Shuozhou City is no longer the Shuozhou City in your memory, the Jiang family is powerful, even if I work hard, it is still difficult to compete, now not only the local official eunuch clan in Shuozhou City, but also the capital is full of his power, you rashly follow him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compete."

He Lianjun thought quietly for a while, and then noticed in his heart, "Uncle Song, don't worry, now I am no longer the child I used to be, don't say that it is a Jiang Dingzhong, even in the face of the person who harmed my He family in the first place, I have the strength to fight."

A flash of light flashed in Song Chi's eyes, he understood the deep meaning of He Lianjun's words, he grabbed He Lianjun's hand tightly, and stood up from the bed with He Lianjun's support.

"Okay, okay, you have this ambition, even if I swallow it, it's enough to go to see your father."

He Lianjun had doubts, so he asked directly to Song Chi, "Uncle Song, I heard my uncle say before that my father believes in loyalty and patriotism the most, and if what I do now is known to my father, I'm afraid he will be angry."

But Song Chi shook his head and retorted, "What your uncle said is not right, although your father was indeed the most rigid at the beginning, but later his thoughts changed a lot, but before he could do anything, he fell into the poisonous hand of His Majesty."

"If I give your dad some more time, I don't think he will have the same choice."

A flash of deep thought flashed in He Lianjun's eyes, but after a moment, he said, "Uncle Song, is Jiang Dingzhong still in Shuozhou City now?"

"Yes, he is now very powerful in Shuozhou City, and he has been entangled with the squires of Shuozhou City messing around in the Qinglou, so I think he hasn't woken up at this hour.
