Cheng Daqi lost a lot of weight, and when he got home, the laughing birds scattered, and he showed off a roast chicken to celebrate that night, and shouted for Xiao He to make him two new clothes, "The clothes are big now." ”

The corners of Xiao He's mouth twitched slightly, "Where is it big, it used to be tight, but now it just fits, continue to wear it, when the wind blows, it will puff up, and at that time I will change into new clothes." ”

Cheng Xiaosi and Cheng Sanniang laughed, Cheng Sanniang smiled: "Uncle, we are all optimistic about you, you have lost weight in just a few days, and if you continue like this, you will be able to wear new clothes in two or three months, and you will be handsome by then." ”

Cheng Xiaosi nodded again and again, "Dad, we are optimistic about you." ”

Cheng Daqi smiled proudly and said that he had been really happy everywhere recently, and his life was comfortable.

Mrs. Cheng was also happy, thinking that it was different, the last time she came, this family was almost like a stranger, and the whole mansion gave people a feeling of dying, and it was difficult to breathe suppressed, and there was no laughing like this.

It seems that Erniang and Li have reunited the family in this matter, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

"Rest early tonight, you still have something to do tomorrow, especially the three of you, you have to enter the palace tomorrow, don't say it's too late."

"Got it."

After the three sisters got up, they laughed and went back to the yard, on the way, Cheng Sanniang was still dancing with her eyebrows, and she planned what kind of bun and hairpin she would comb Cheng Xiaosi tomorrow morning, what kind of hairpin to wear, and the happiness made Hua Bao excited, standing on Cheng Xiaosi's shoulder and saying that she would see Xiaosi dress up tomorrow morning.

Cheng Daqi and Cheng Daqian and Cheng Youqian went to the study, and the people they arranged have already taken action today, but it is not enough to just burn a fire, "This fire must burn more fiercely, and the second group of people I arranged will go to the yamen tomorrow to continue to shout grievances." ”

Although Cheng Daqian is confident, he is also worried, "Although we have won the emperor's weight this time, we have also offended many families. ”

Cheng Daqi smiled, "It doesn't matter, our Cheng family is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, let's just say that he is just an earl, and he doesn't have much power, in the eyes of the family, we are just the emperor's thugs." ”

"But then again, we can't just rely on the emperor, we have to find other people who can help us."

Cheng Daqi, who was a little confused in Cheng Xiaosi's eyes, was shrewd at the moment, of course, he was not stupid to be able to mix up to this day, as long as it didn't involve Zhang Yuewu, he thought of General Niu in his mind, "We can make friends with the Niu family." ”

The Niu family has been loyal to the emperor for generations, a loyal martyr, even if General Niu failed to take Beixiang in one fell swoop a few years ago, and stopped in front of the Beixiang Imperial City garrisoned by General Dongshu Wen, even this is not his ability, if it is not for the follow-up grain and grass supply is not timely, he will definitely not let Dongshu catch up.

But even so, he took half of Beixiang's territory, allowing Xijin to expand its territory.

"The emperor uses the Niu general to copy the house, it can be seen that the Niu family has won the trust of the emperor, if we can make friends with the Niu family, we will have a helper in the court in the future."

In the past, he had considered the Marquis of Wenchang and the Yan family, but it was clear that he couldn't.

The Niu family is good, but how can I use it to make friends with the Niu family?

The discussion in the study continued, and it was completely dark, Cheng Xiaosi arranged for Hua Bao to go out of the city again to see what its treasure looked like and what things were in it, so he also specially took out gold and silver to identify it, "It would be better if you could bring something back." ”

Hua Bao nodded, "Little four, you just look at me, I'm sure I can bring you the baby back, I'll go." ’

"Be careful."

'I know, Xiaosi cares about me, I'm so happy. ’

Hua Bao's figure soon disappeared into the night, Cheng Xiaosi deliberately left a window for it, and a plan gradually took shape in his mind.

Just about to lie down, Cheng Yousan sneaked in, sneaky, "Cheng Xiaosi, let me tell you, I have asked people to inquire, the mountain on the outskirts of Beijing has collapsed, because of the ground movement, now people can't go up, you just give up." ”

"Do you think you've had too many good days and have nothing to do when you want to run out?"

Cheng Xiaosi glanced at him, "It's not that the whole mountain has collapsed, it's just a mountain, you can lie to me." ”

Cheng Yousan: How did she know?

"Forget it, just say what you want to do, I'll take a look for you, in case something happens."

Greedy for such a black-hearted sister, he accepted his fate.

Cheng Xiaosi patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm still waiting for the news, and we'll go when the news is confirmed, just listen to my notice." ”

Cheng Yousanyan walked away suspiciously, always feeling that there was something he didn't know.

Huabao came back when it was almost dawn, no way, people were not good at flying, if they didn't have a little special ability, they couldn't get out of the gate of the capital, they were tired and paralyzed when they came back, and they fell asleep directly, and when Huahua came to call Cheng Xiaosi to get up, he saw the jeweled Huabao, and immediately covered his mouth and smiled.

"Girl, look at Huabao, why do you still wear the necklace of pearls and jadeites around your neck?"

The sleepy-eyed Cheng Xiaosi blinked suddenly, and reached out to touch the big pearl around Hua Bao's neck, which was obtained in the cave?

Hua Bao opened his eyes and excitedly showed the treasure he brought back, "Little Si, there are a lot of such things in the cave, I have seen them all, it is not a tomb, there is no coffin, it is a big cave, and it is full of treasures." ’

Cheng Xiaosi picked it up and touched it, "I'm going to enter the palace today, do you want to go with me, and I'll give you a reward when I come back." ”

'No, Huabao is tired and wants to sleep.' ’

Cheng Xiaosi turned over and got up, and took off the necklace around Hua Bao's neck by the way, with these two things in hand, she could pull Cheng Yousan out to hunt for treasure, but Cheng Yousan alone is not enough, she doesn't know what the danger of the newly collapsed mountain is, and if she wants to go, of course, the more people the better.

Unable to sigh at the moment, she has no friends!

It's pitiful to think about.

Today's court is much more depressed than in the past, in recent days, the amiable emperor has changed his face again, the whole court has a stormy trend, after overnight inquiry, the emperor has taken the confessions of the two merchants in his hands, there is no calmness in the chest, only anger.

"The two four-grade officials are in collusion, doing evil, not seeking the well-being of the people, and sharing the worries of the loyal monarch, but they are as vicious as the emperor of the soil, and I am very disappointed."

Although no witnesses have been mentioned, and no verification has been made to verify whether what the merchant said is true, the emperor has already made up his mind, and some people with slightly lower official positions have come forward to echo them, demanding that the two be severely punished and that the court be clear.

The eyes of the people of the family met, and their eyes frequently looked at the old man who was standing at the forefront of the Wenchen team, the first assistant of the dynasty, Lord Qiu, and the two defendants were his protégés, and they didn't believe it if the emperor didn't mean it.
