Chapter 115: A Shocking Identity
So everyone in the Hong family class had to reluctantly receive another sum of silver, and followed the people of Mingjiao to start touring everywhere.
Everywhere I went, there were crowds of people. It's still a show and a story, alternating between them, without exception.
The brothers have also heard more human tragedies, and the efficiency of personal interviews is really much higher than that of personal micro-service.
However, what impressed them the most was that someone sang a Fengyang flower drum on stage:
"Speaking of Fengyang, Dao Fengyang, Fengyang is a good place. Since Emperor Zhu came out, there have been nine years of famine in ten years.
Three years of drought and three years of flooding, rice is as expensive as pearls, and the family has run out of food. The founding heroes were clearly robbing, and they were busy with repairs.
The rich sold mules and horses, and the poor sold their sons, and the ordinary people suffered.
We don't have a son to sell, and we are a cow to be a horse......"
The reason why this "Flower Drum Lyrics" impressed the brothers was not only because it showed the suffering suffered by the people of Fengyang, but also because it was so different from the other version they had heard.
It is the song performed by the old folks in Fengyang on New Year's Day......
~~
Throughout the hot June, the Hongjia class was coerced by the people of Mingjiao to perform everywhere.
It continued until the end of the month, and the June tour was finally coming to an end.
At this time, Shi Chenglu could no longer find an excuse to stay with them, so he had to ask King Ming for instructions. Do you let them go, or do you simply put them under house arrest?
"Stay them for a few more days, there's almost news from the south, and we'll talk about it when the time comes." King Ming said: "Actually, I still admire those brothers, if they can be used by me, it would be good." But if it'......"
He didn't say any more, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Linhuai County Ya.
Han Yike was reading at night again, but he was impatient and couldn't read it at all.
Chang Sui whispered that the big myopia came again.
"No, no, no." Han Yike, who had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, frowned, he felt that he was going to be killed by the person surnamed Luo.
Since the five highnesses went to Fengyang County, Han Zhixian has not slept well. As long as they close their eyes, it is a terrible scene of them exposing their identities, being arrested by Mingjiao, and threatening to surrender their cities.
He thought about it, and if it really came to that day, he would hang himself directly. Fuck you, I'm not playing!
"Forget it, let's let him in." As soon as Han Yike calmed down, he still had to face reality.
Luo Guanzhong came in, still clasping his fists and saluting according to his official uniform.
Han Zhixian coughed, and after helping Luo Guanzhong listen to the sound and identify the position, Fang said: "Mr. Guanzhong, you are still embarrassed to come, the two highnesses almost had an accident in Zhongdu, do you know?" ”
"That's what I'm here for." Luo Guanzhong stretched out his hand to tentatively hold on to the table, looked down at Han Yike and said, "The two of you have been discovered!" ”
"When?" Han Yike couldn't help but sit up straight.
"It was that night that you and Pingbao'er reacted too much." Luo Guanzhong pointed at him and said, "Especially you, who opened the city gate in the middle of the night for fear that others would not know!" ”
"The situation is urgent," Han Yike said depressedly: "If the two highnesses have three longs and two shorts, my whole family's lives will not be enough to pay!" ”
"Besides, the next day, didn't I manage to get over?" He muttered again.
"Just fool your boss, those brothers were rescued by the king of Ming, you two are out this time, the time is just right, Ping Baoer is still Zhu Hongwu's righteous son, people don't suspect that you two are weird." Luo Guanzhong said in a deep voice.
"And then?" Han Yike swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
Then Mingjiao began to investigate the true identities of the five of them. Through the disciples around you, you know that they have been cared for by you when they first came, and you also know that you said that their father is your old boss......" Luo Guanzhong sneered.
Han Yike could hear the cold sweat on his back, and muttered, "I didn't expect that I also have their people by my side." ”
He only told two people about the term 'old boss son', one was Li Si and the other was Tang Jiachang.
Among these two people, there must be a two-five boy.
"But they couldn't think of any high-ranking official surnamed Hong who had anything to do with you, so they decided that the brother used a pseudonym." I heard Luo Guanzhong continue: "In addition, Ping'an is Zhu Hongwu's righteous son, and they also guess that the father of that brother is the person Zhu Hongwu values." Zhu Hongwu's hand is so outrageous that they guess around the truth, but they don't guess the truth. ”
Although this speculation is not far away, it has already made Han Yike's scalp tingle and said: "I didn't expect them to be so thin!" It's so careless. ”
"So they sent a message to another powerful protector, asking him to use the people planted in the ministry to find out which unlucky high-ranking official was valued by Zhu Hongwu and had five sons." Luo Guanzhong continued.
"Ah, what if you don't find this person?" Han Zhixian wiped his sweat and said, "Will they think of the five people who are studying in Houhu?" ”
"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Luo Guanzhong smiled crookedly.
"Are you that good?" Han Yike looked at this chrysanthemum-eyed home as if he had seen it from the beginning.
Luo Guanzhong said confidently: "That's for sure, don't look at who I am!" ”

Wuli Temple.
"King Ming, Protector Luo has replied." Cao Protector handed the letter he had just received from Jingzhong to King Ming.
King Ming took it and opened it, and was so shocked that he was stunned and said: "Luo Protector said - those five brothers are the sons of Zhang Shicheng and Gao Qi!" ”
"Huh? How can it be? "Cao Protector and Shi Protector's jaws dropped. They just want to give birth, but they can't give birth!
Luo Hufa said that when Suzhou was besieged that year, Zhang Shicheng couldn't get rid of it, so he entrusted his three sons to Gao Qi. As the nephews of the Gao family, they survived under the protection of the Suzhou gentry. Then the king showed the two of them the message:
Who knew that Gao Qi was involved in Wei Guan's case again last year and was beheaded. The family was also implicated, and as a result, the two sons of the brothers and Gao Qi, and the five brothers fell into trouble again. ”
"I see." The two Dharma Protectors suddenly realized.
This secret is unexpected, but also reasonable, making it easy to believe that it is true.
The most important thing is that Luo Protector was Zhang Shicheng's military advisor back then, and he said yes, then it must be!
And once you believe this statement, the more you think about it, the more you think about it, the more you think it's like this......
"No wonder those brothers look so bad." Shi Protector stroked his goatee and said: "I heard that King Cheng is black, fat and uneducated, so Hong Hao Hongji and Hong Yi should be his sons." The other two scholars with fine skin and tender meat must be Gao Qi's son. ”
"Yes, yes, yes." King Ming and Cao Protector nodded again and again, Ya is not born from a father, so it is reasonable.
Cao Protector also said suddenly: "No wonder Han Yike is so concerned, if he doesn't take good care of Zhang Shicheng and Gao Qi's son, he will be sprayed to death by the spittle of the Jiangnan people." ”
Zhang Shicheng didn't need to say anything. Lao Zhu and the Jiangnan gentry have fallen into a strange circle, and the more ruthless he is to them, the more they miss Zhang Shicheng. The more they miss Zhang Shicheng, the more ruthless he will be to them......
Moreover, Gao Qi's status in the hearts of Jiangnan Shilin and the people is also extremely high.
In the year of his establishment, he and Song Lian and Liu Ji were two old-timers, and they were called 'the three masters of poetry and literature in the world'.
To be honest, he is inferior to Song and Liu in terms of articles, but in writing poetry, he is much better than the two old-timers.
And he is also very good-natured, disgusted with officialdom, and does not envy fame and fortune. In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to promote him to the right servant of the household, but he did not accept it and was given money to be returned.
He dared to pick Boss Zhu's pick, and now he was even more interested in the back-of-the-head Jiangsu and Zhejiang people, so he became more and more famous and became a super idol shared by Jiangnan Shilin and the people.
This was naturally hated by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he took advantage of the Wei Guan case to behead him on trumped-up charges.
It is said that when Gao Qi was tortured, Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to prison and beheaded. Although Boss Zhu has killed a lot of people, he personally supervised and beheaded him just once, which shows how much he hates this guy who refuses to serve, does not give face, and writes poems and essays to satirize himself many times.
It is also said that after Gao Qi was beheaded, he dipped his hand in his own blood and wrote three words of 'miserable' in a row before he died.
Although they are just legends, the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who have a deep grudge against Zhu Yuanzhang, naturally believe in it.
So on Gao Qiming's birthday this year, the gentry and people in Jiangnan all wore white to express their commemoration of him.
It is estimated that the entire Jiangnan Shilin has secretly instructed Han Yike to take care of Gao Qi's son. That's why he's so nervous.
And Gao Qi, in a sense, is definitely the person that Zhu Yuanzhang values. This would explain Ping An's reaction.
