laughing soul

The crisis in the south of the Yangtze River and Weizhou were never to be ignored as Qiu Sheng said. As soon as this depressing news reached the capital, all the civil and military officials suddenly became a mess. The focus of their debate was whether to continue Peace talks, to suppress the current situation of wars between the two borders for the time being, and create a false appearance of peace and make do with it.

During the Taiping period, absolutely no one dared to cede land to feed tigers. Ancient poems such as "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar" and "wait to start over, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the sky" were called by the Manchu Dynasty. The "loyal minister" sees the world talking about the ball, and can't wait to paste the two big words "patriotism" on the door of his brain.

It was different now, they realized with horror that if this war was allowed to continue indefinitely, it might not be long before the northern and southern barbarians would be able to fight to the root of the imperial city to kill them.Except for a few loyal ministers, the rest of these old ministers are idiots who can play nice words. The first emperor promoted this pile of trash at that time to make him happy, and now they are all the old ones of Dayue. disease.

Such a political situation, in the hands of Emperor Longming, who was not very proficient in government affairs, was like a pot of mouse feces with only a few drops of good soup left.

And Jiang Chen, who was one of the few drops of good soup, was shocked and annoyed to discover the true face of his apprentice Wang Jiusi who had been hiding for several years in just a few days.

This person is actually in collusion with the left minister Lu Yun, not to mention committing a crime, but he firmly and persistently brainwashed every official who was still sober in the early court. The harassment of dozens of days like a moment was indeed true in the end. It played an indelible role. Maybe they believed it, or maybe they were just terrified. In the end, this group of grandchildren unexpectedly left the camp of normal thinking and turned to abandon the light and turn to the dark.

In the end, except for him, Zhao Yan, Minister of Rites, Dong Qi and Tao Qinglin, ministers of the Ministry of Rites, almost without exception, everyone agreed with the conclusion of the peace talks. Decided to clearly state in the letter sent to Qiu Sheng that the East Palace cannot change hands, and even hoped that Long Live Lord, who was trapped in the southern battlefield and could not get away, could spare some time to read the cumbersome words of praise at the end of the letter , by the way, Longxin is very happy, and I will give them some rewards later.

If this is what they really think, it means that this is indeed a group of clubs with eloquent tongues, flattering Qiu Sheng, and if they don't pay attention, they can hit the horse's leg and kick him half to death.

As a person who has experienced it, it is true that Jiang Chen will get up wherever he stumbles, but he has no right to change this letter that has become an established fact.

Because of Tao Qinglin's blunt advice last time, Qiu Sheng didn't dare to let Qiu Jing go to the court without hesitation to do anything wrong this time, and instead ordered the left and right ministers to manage the government together.At this time, Lu Yun's thoughts were at odds with him, but the wishes of the officials were almost one-sided. Jiang Chen roughly scanned the letter, and really couldn't read any more, so he nodded and handed it to Wang Jiusi.

The ghost knows what Qiu Sheng's expression will be when he reads the letter jointly signed by the ministers.

Ever since the internal rape case was not investigated by Jiang Chen, Wang Jiusi had consciously cut off the master-student relationship with his mentor for several years, and instead hung out with Lu Yun all day long. Seeing Jiang Chen was just acquaintance. □ It's just a courtesy to make a bow.

Jiang Chen suddenly had the illusion that he raised a Zhongshan wolf.

At this time, Wang Jiusi didn't know at all that the huge shit bowl that was originally on the head of the official department had already found the right owner, and went straight to the Ministry of punishment to smash it.

As soon as Liancheng left, Zhong Han took over the duties of taking care of Dandou and wandering around the small wooden house on the outskirts of the city every day.He was born with Wenxiang Ruanyu, who lacked the tendons of ordinary men, and the other party was a major suspect of adultery and treason. He lived in the same place day and night, and he never looked at the part above her neck once, Dan. If Dou had the ability to escape, as long as he changed his clothes, Zhong Han would not be able to tell.

This task was explained in such a secret way that he didn't even let him bring along a brother who could talk to relieve boredom. Zhong Han accompanied the girl on a trip to the outskirts of the city, and got bored of playing in the whole small forest. Before life was lonely and boring, the person in charge on the outskirts of the city finally appeared to live up to expectations.

When he first arrived here, Zhong Han pulled away the top few wooden sticks from the wooden house, and the two of them stood on the tree, and they could see every bit of movement in the house.There was a slight movement at the entrance of the secret passage in the room, and the person underneath seemed to be probing, Zhong Han pulled Dan Dou and bent down together, using a clump of dry grass in front of him to cover her tracks, motioning her to keep quiet.

Hearing a muffled sound, the man crawled out with his head poking his head, covered in dirty ash, like a thief stealing chickens and dogs, he calmed down very quickly, and rummaged through the room lightly.

Zhong Han frowned, this man was looking for something.

He looked back at Dan Dou: "Is this the one who gave you a fake belt?"

Dan Dou froze for a moment, raised his head and met Zhong Han's cold eyes. ,

This was the first time the two looked at each other.

She is not very old, she used to laugh and sell herself in a brothel, although she has seen all the warmth and coldness of the world, she has never understood what is love and what is sincerity, when she suddenly looks at the slightly resolute face in front of her, her small round face immediately turns red Together, they hurriedly dodged their eyes, and said falteringly: "Yes, that's...that's him."

The man was still rummaging in the room, as if he had made sure that no one was watching the surroundings, and his movements became more violent, and he even threw the antique porcelain bottle that was carefully placed on the table on the ground and smashed it without mercy. Broken porcelain pieces all over the floor cut his fingers, and he squatted on the ground frantically looking for the pieces.

Instinctively thinking that this thing must be important, Zhong Han temporarily decided to let him go for a while, and wait until he has all the stolen goods before making a move.

He relaxed his back a little, and looked back at Dandou, only to see that the girl's face was blushing, as if she had put on rouge, and quickly stretched out two fingers to gently touch her forehead: "Fever? In the middle of the night Frost and dew are heavy, it is hard for the girl to walk here with Zhong, and I have wronged the girl."

This is the longest sentence Zhong Han has said to her these days.

Dan Dou felt that his cold fingers touched her face, not only did not have the effect of cooling down, but made the fire burn more and more lawlessly, she turned her face slightly away, and muttered and couldn't speak.

Zhong Han was even more baffled. Although he thought he was innocent, he was more or less aware that he was the culprit who caused this scene. He thought he had frightened her, so he quickly withdrew his hand and apologized: "Sorry, I offended."

There was a soft sound in the room, and he instantly clenched the Xiuchun knife around his waist, slightly pulled out the end of the knife, squinted his eyes, and saw that it was a man walking out slowly and calmly.

Without looking back, he stuffed a balled-up thin coat into Dandou's hand, drew the knife out of its sheath: "Stay here, don't move."

There was also the scent of saponins that he was used to on that bundle of clothes, presumably he always carried it with him, but he never wore it.

Holding a small ball of clothes, she felt a "boom" on her face that burned more intensely, and even a heart that had been silent for a long time began to stop beating.

However, Zhong Han obviously didn't have that much flirtatiousness, he didn't even look at the expression on Dan Dou's face, he landed firmly in front of the man, without saying a word.

The man was visibly panicked, but he still pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "My lord, the villain has never committed any crimes. I don't know why the lord stands in front of the villain?"

Saying this from his mouth is equivalent to farting, Zhong Han reluctantly killed him directly without making a move, and after listening patiently, he took out a waist card from his arms and threw it on the ground.

It was the piece he threw in Zuihualou to frame Nan Ji, the Minister of Officials.

The man's face froze in an instant, and after a while, he raised his head slightly, smiled a few times flatteringly, but in the next moment his eyes showed a fierce look, and he stabbed a chest with a sharp knife.

Zhong Han had expected it a long time ago, so he dodged sideways, and the gleaming blade barely brushed against the corner of his clothes. The unwilling man shaking his wrist became more and more familiar.

"You are..." Jin Yiwei is haunted, no one in the court can escape their eyes, Zhong Han just pondered for a while, and then punctured the window paper by name, "Your Excellency is He Shinian, the minister of punishment. "

After being caught, He Shinian was identified face-to-face again. He became angry from embarrassment and wanted to fight Zhong Han to the death with his bare hands.

Jin Yiwei is one of the best players in a hundred. Even if there are ten weak officials like He Shinian, Zhong Han can serve them all without raising his eyelids, let alone such a weak chicken in front of him.Zhong Han was almost stunned by this man's fearless dedication, and he put the Xiuchun knife back into its sheath in a single turn, and just a few punches down, he beat He Shinian so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.

He raised one leg and put it on He Shinian's shoulder, nodded slightly and asked, "What did you bring out of that room, huh?"

Seeing that he had no choice but to surrender, this person still had the arrogance of a literati and a poet. He straightened his back under the weight of Zhong Han's hard kneecaps, and uttered a sentence between his teeth: "Get out! You are not an emperor. Is it so fun for a dog to fight against others? Lord Zhong..." He grinned grinningly, nosebleeds slipping from his lips, "Master Zhong is such an obedient watchdog, if I were the emperor, I would definitely give you a golden dog chain. "

The Dandou on the tree was furious, but Zhong Han looked at him coldly from the beginning to the end, his eyes seemed to have no emotion at all, he pressed his thigh hard, only heard a "click", I don't know which piece on He Shinian's back it was The bone moved, and he couldn't help it, and immediately let out a scream like a pig being killed.

There was no one in the three-mile radius, and Zhong Han suddenly felt a little grateful that the ghosts arranged the counterpart in the wilderness, so as not to add a crime of disturbing the people in the bustling market.

"Don't talk nonsense," the cold tip of the knife licked He Shinian's neck in the cold winter, the trash who only flattered and drilled secrets, suddenly lost his courage. Pushing the handle of the knife forward, blood was seen immediately, "What did you bring out?"

He Shinian suddenly couldn't pretend to be a hero, so his knees softened and he knelt at Zhong Han's feet. In the severe cold, cold sweat dripped down in strings along the skin texture.

Zhong Han squinted his eyes and observed him for a long time, and finally decided that this person was just a pawn to work for money, and the real mastermind behind the scenes would not be so spineless.

"My lord, it's better to die than to live. What's the use of so much money?" He squatted down with his knife in his hand, fixed his eyes on He Shinian, and said in a cold voice, "Say it, Zhong Although you cannot give your lord ten thousand taels of silver, you still have the ability to plead with His Majesty to spare your life."

He Shinian's back, which was still indestructible not long ago, was instantly crumpled into a ball of broken bones. He limp and lay on the ground. He didn't know what he was afraid of, and his voice trembled for a while: "I didn't find anything...I was taken away by someone. It's... this side is disconnected, he's going to kill me..."

Although Zhong Han had opened two small holes on the roof to observe the enemy's situation, it was a pity that he did not dare to make it too obvious in order to prevent the opponent from finding out that something was wrong. Han said it was all done in a blind spot, and it was impossible to judge whether the words of this person were true or false.

Zhong Han turned around and thought, Liancheng had already had someone search this place before, and Jinyiwei was a professional householder who rummaged through boxes and cabinets, so it might have been searched by Liancheng before.At first glance, this person is greedy for profit, greedy for life and afraid of death. If he really drives him crazy, it will not end well at that time. Zhong Han sighed softly and decided to avoid the serious and take the light: "I will take you away, don't be afraid .Who is that person? Who is going to kill you?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but asking like this can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest. When He Shinian heard the second half of Zhong Han's soft words, he trembled violently at first, and then fell into a semi-comatose state, kneeling on his knees When he moved on the ground, he directly grabbed the ground with his head, making a loud muffled sound.

Zhong Han leaned down and searched He Shinian inside and out, but there was nothing special except a badge of the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so he really couldn't find it.

He looked up at Dandou who was obediently staying on the tree in his clothes, turned around and touched He Shinian's acupoints, then climbed up the tree briskly, stretched his right arm around Dandou's shoulder, Bring her down slowly to the ground.

In just two short moments of falling from the tree, Dandou felt as if she had passed away more than ten years of her life, and then suddenly realized that the days of laughing and selling herself were nothing after all, and she was thanking Guanyin Bodhisattva hated her at the same time, why didn't this man appear before her eyes earlier?

She was suddenly moved.

However, a moment is a moment after all, Zhong Han smoothed her skirt gently, and said in a low voice: "Follow closely." As soon as the words fell, he stepped forward and carried the tall and thick man on his shoulders, and walked back along the path Walk.

Dan Dou gently grabbed the corner of his sleeve from behind, and followed him in small steps.

Zhong Han turned his head, and when his eyes met, the man with a cold face seemed to smile slightly, and before the girl was about to let go of her hands due to embarrassment, he reached out and clasped those evasive catkins tightly. It was in the palm of her hand, but she didn't dare to raise her eyebrows to look at her again, she just walked forward slowly with her back stiffened, fine sweat gradually oozing from the palm of her hand.

If his immediate boss, Liancheng, knew that this kid was molesting a girl during working hours, he might be able to fly back from Huadu directly with a pair of wings, and press him to the ground with a fist and kick.

However, this unscrupulous boss did take away what He Shinian hid in the small wooden house and lost it again. It was a map, which contained seven secret roads leading from Weizhou to Huadu, and then from Huadu to the capital. The twisting and turning route was explained clearly and in detail, without any deficiencies, but the words and handwriting in the explanation were difficult to read clearly, and there were many blurred lines in the middle. Zheng Nan and Lian Cheng pondered over the picture. After a long time, I didn't find something interesting, so I had to order someone to go to Weizhou to invite He Lingyu back. This man only stayed up all night, and he filled up the vacant road map, at least The focal points leading to several branch roads can be found, and the hidden interfaces in Huadu will naturally come to light.

"These characters should be the unique ancient characters of Beili, He can't do anything about it," He Lingyu tore off the glass mirror on the bridge of his nose, and pointed to the characters on it to show Liancheng, "You two adults know that there was once a Chu Master Chu is going to the capital?"

Zheng Nan looked at Liancheng in bewilderment, who coughed several times in a half-covered manner: "Cough... this person should be in the South Camp right now, probably with His Majesty."

He Lingyu was naturally ignorant of love in the world of mortals, and Liancheng's obscene tone could not make this girl think in a direction that is not suitable for children. She just nodded "Oh" expressionlessly, and never asked any questions , his gaze remained on the map in front of him: "Young Master Chu is proficient in various languages, you two can make a copy of this blueprint and send it to him, so that he can look it over."

Zheng Nan poked his head around the back of He Lingyu's head and swayed back and forth: "Why do you have to make a copy? Can't I just copy and send it?"

He Lingyu thought he was joking, but didn't answer for a moment.

Zheng Nan: "Miss He?"

He Lingyu looked back inexplicably, only to realize that this person was speaking seriously, and had no choice but to explain: "General Zheng, the meanings of these words are quite different if they are more or less. Why don’t you pay attention, if a character with two ticks is written with a single tick, the whole word may run counter to the original meaning. I suggest that the general should keep it down.”

Lian Cheng almost didn't laugh out loud, patted Zheng Nan's shoulder gloatingly and sighed: "Brother, don't take on the porcelain work without diamonds, if something bad happens, be careful, Zizhan will catch you again later." If you steal a chicken leg, I will break your leg and eat it for you."

Qiu Sheng is not the kind of person who spreads such nonsense when he has nothing to do. Lian Cheng must have seen it when he was flying on the roof of the building.

He Lingyu carefully rolled up the album, and by the way, glanced at him with a caring look.

Zheng Nan: "..."

His majestic image as the admiral of the Southwest collapsed just like that.

Liancheng accepted Zheng Nan's harmless eye attack with a full-faced expression, and when he saw He Lingyu approaching, he instantly changed his face and became a serious Jinyiwei commander: "Miss He."

"These branch roads in Huadu only lead to a midpoint. With my ability, the Jiedushi government office can only stop here. Only those who are proficient in this way can decipher the remaining ancient characters. Even my lord, if you continue to I have nothing else to do, so I took my leave and left, the Weizhou battlefield is still stalemate, I only asked General Wang for ten days off."

Liancheng's eyes darkened, Jiedushi is another major event involving court officials.

He bowed and bowed: "Thank you Miss He, go slowly."

Like the wind under her feet, she turned around and went out without a sound. Zheng Nan also completely forgot about Liancheng's detrimental behavior just now, so he stabbed him in the shoulder blade with the scabbard and asked, "Where is that in Weizhou?" What can she do as a weak woman if she is fighting head to head?"

"The people of Beili are good at developing new weapons and armor. Once a brand new thing is put on the battlefield, the Northwest Army may not be able to realize where the enemy's weaknesses are for a while. Miss He can defeat the opponent as long as she looks at it from a distance on the high pavilion. The weakness and fatality of the armored tanks are estimated to be close to ten, which increases the probability of a one-shot kill for the Northwest Army." Liancheng said, "Let's go to the Jiedushi to find out the truth first, and don't let the large group of people start to scare the snake."

Zheng Nan stretched his waist, frowned and complained: "Why did you let her go just now, we haven't stayed with the girl for a long time."

Liancheng glanced at him sideways, then shook his head inscrutablely: "A gentleman doesn't steal people's love... It's better for us to work honestly."
