After the Destiny Child was reborn

It was not completely dark yet, and there were still many people on the street.

Evening is the most suitable time to act, and it seems that there is no rush now.Liang Jingzhan touched his empty stomach. He was so hungry that he hadn't had time to eat since he woke up.

The place where he is now happens to be not far from Xuji Bakery, and eating pastry before meals has become his habit, and he can't change it.

Eating pastries is not to suppress hunger, it is purely for a taste.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, he arrived at Xuji Pastry Shop.

Before arriving at the shop, there was a sweet and faint fragrance of pastries.Liang Jingzhan followed the scent and entered the shop.

The owner of the pastry shop saw him, smiled again, and greeted him, "His Royal Highness is here! Come in quickly, do you still want hibiscus cake this time?"

The shop owner was half a head shorter than Liang Jingzhan, with a fat body, wearing black silk clothes and copper belts.

"En. Look at your red face, you have earned a lot of money today, right?" Liang Jingzhan looked around the shop, Xu Ji's pastry shop was always full of people.

"Where is it, it's just barely enough to make ends meet." Boss Xu waved his hand, and the smile on his face grew wider.As he said that, Boss Xu turned around and took a few pieces of hibiscus cake himself, carefully wrapped them in oiled paper, and tied them with rope a few times so that he could carry them, "This is freshly made, and it's still warm, Your Highness, eat it while it's hot." .”

Liang Jingzhan took the hibiscus cake, put a silver ingot in front of the counter, and asked him about the Zheng family.

"I heard that there is a Zheng residence nearby, but I have searched for a few times, but I can't find it. Does Boss Xu know where it is? This king has something to ask Dr. Zheng."

Boss Xu pointed behind him, "Physician Zheng is on this street, just go straight ahead."

"It's really not the right time for His Highness to come. Imperial Physician Zheng hasn't come back yet. The younger one has been soliciting business outside. I didn't see Imperial Physician Zheng passing by. If he passed by, he would buy some hibiscus cakes and take them back for his son to eat."

"Oh? Doctor Zheng still has a son?" Liang Jingzhan raised his eyebrows lightly to express his doubts.

"Yes, the only son of the Zheng family is nearly nineteen years old. He loves literature and is very good at chess. He rarely meets opponents. He had some encounters with His Royal Highness before. Unfortunately, he is weak and sick. He hasn't seen Mr. Zheng come out in recent years." Boss Xu said. Sighing regretfully, "What a pity!"

Liang Jingzhan's eyes lit up, the fourth younger brother has no intention of going to court, and has always only socialized with capable people and strangers, and everyone around him is extraordinary.Young Master Zheng's ability to associate with his fourth brother seems to be a talent beyond reproach.

If there is a way to win them over... How great it would be!

Liang Jingzhan left the pastry shop, took the pastry to find a restaurant, went in and ordered some side dishes and wine.

After eating and drinking, Liang Jingzhan stretched.

It was completely dark, and Liang Jingzhan just stood up when he saw a figure hurrying past on the street outside.

It's Doctor Zheng.

"What happened? Why are so many people wearing armor?"

"Who knows. Maybe it's just patrolling."

"The inspections are all conducted by the Jinwu Guard, but the leader is not General Zuo Jinwu Guard."

"Isn't that Lieutenant Lin?" Someone with sharp eyes recognized the leader of the army by the dim light.

Look at their hurried steps one by one, as if they are chasing someone in front of them.

The sound of neat and crisp footsteps, the hostility emanating from the black armor, and the imposing manner of swords drawn drew many people to stop and watch.

Liang Jingzhan came out of the restaurant, leaning against the stone wall beside him, tapping his chin, thinking about something.

After drinking just now, when he was slightly tipsy, Liang Jingzhan's expression became much more easy-going.The tails of his eyes were stained with drunkenness, and even his pupils were full of water.

The warm red light from the two red lanterns hanging above his head covered his whole body, making the water in his eyes even more intoxicating, like the shadow of broken lanterns on the river.

The people led by Lin Taiwei followed Taiyi Zheng, but they fell a few hundred steps, keeping a distance on purpose.

Going straight along this road is the Zheng Mansion, but seeing Lin Taiwei's decisive footsteps, his eyes have been steadfastly staring at the front, with a clear purpose, he must have come prepared.

Liang Jingzhan's heart tightened. Looking at the black figures in front of him, he raised his heels and followed them.

Could it be that Lin Xian's goal is the Zheng residence?Could it be that his father sent him to Zheng's mansion to catch the mastermind?

If Lin Xian came, something bad would happen.

Song Xiang was his guest, and he didn't know about Song Xiang's siege of Zheng's family.

Lin Xian would not really beat his own people, he must have found a way to make Song Xiang escape, and if he wanted to escape, he had to let people escape under the eyes of the officers and soldiers behind him, he could only take advantage of the chaos.

Judging from Lin Xian's way of doing things, the best way to create chaos is to kill people.

Liang Jingzhan followed the soldiers far away, he looked ahead, and the imperial doctor Zheng had already entered the mansion.

At this time, the marching speed of the troops slowed down instead, just like taking a walk to digest food after eating.

Gotta find a way to stop him.

Liang Jingzhan stopped and looked at a dark alley on the right. If he passed this way, he could get to Zheng's mansion from the backyard of Zheng's mansion.

Although it is possible to inform Zheng's mansion of the news one step ahead, the problem is what will happen if they find out, and they will not be able to escape. There are people from Song Xiang in the mansion, and if there is any movement, Song Xiang's people will be the first to rush in and slaughter Zheng. The family, and outside the mansion there is Lin Xian who wants to mess up the Zheng mansion.

The Zheng family couldn't keep it.

In the dark night, there are several dogs barking from the depths of the distant house. In the increasingly unsettled night, it is their venting of depression.

At daybreak, I'm afraid that everything that is unbearable will be swallowed up and buried by darkness, just like a dog barking that is blown away by the wind.

"Tsk..." Liang Jingzhan hesitated for a long time, closed his eyes, and walked to the right, his figure blending into the endless darkness.

In Zheng's mansion, the servants in the small courtyard were all busy with their own affairs, and it seemed that there was no difference from the past.

The candles in several rooms were weak, barely illuminating the scene in the house.

"Master came back today, walking in a panic, with a strange look on his face. I have never seen the master in such a hurry before. As soon as he came back, he went to Qingyuanju to see Mr. Zheng, and he didn't bring any cakes in his hand." In a room, a servant girl was Wiping the candlestick, a servant beside him was adding candles to the candlestick.

The servant girl next to him stopped adding fuel oil, looked around cautiously, and whispered: "Don't you know this? A few days ago, Mr. Zheng said that Zheng's mansion was under surveillance, and we should all act cautiously." point."

The slave who wiped the candlesticks thought it was funny, and laughed: "Little Demon King Zheng still cares about us? You don't know him..." Little Demon King Zheng was the name they secretly gave to Mr. Zheng.

The servant who told the news felt that she was not up to date and her vision was small, and she couldn't grasp the key point, so she pushed her angrily, "What you care about now is not whether Mr. Zheng cares about us, but whether we can survive or not."

The obedient servant opened his mouth, and suddenly smiled again, "It's not that serious, is it? You must have not had a good rest recently, and you are suspicious. Do you believe the words of Little Demon King Zheng?"

"Talking to you is like playing the piano to a cow!" Although angry at the other party's ignorance, the servant who spoke slowly explained to her, "The Zheng mansion is under surveillance, why do you think it is? Of course it is because our master offended someone , the master’s expression is uneasy, it means that the matter has become a big mess, and after the big mess, the person who is lying in the dark and monitoring the Zheng’s mansion will come down at any time to take our lives!"

After hearing this, the slave who didn't believe her at first covered her mouth wide open because of fear.

She gradually realized the seriousness of the matter, and grabbed the sleeve of the servant girl next to her in fear, tears fell down her face, and she couldn't help sobbing: "Then what should we do? Can we escape? My sister has tuberculosis. My mother is still waiting for me to use this month's salary to buy medicine... I don't want to die..."

The two hugged each other and wept: "I don't want to die either. I thought meeting Little Demon King Zheng would be unlucky enough, but I don't know there is more unlucky..."

In Qingyuan's residence, she had been sitting on the couch for a year, her hair was all scattered, her face was pale and weak, her eyebrows were faint, and her jet-black hair contrasted strangely with her sickly pale face, which seemed a little scary at first glance.

He has a thin body and is wearing a white tunic. He is coughing silently with his fists brought to his mouth. Except for the woman sitting next to him, there is not a single servant serving in the room.

"You know everything about Zheng's residence recently?" The woman's eyes were very red, and they were wet, as if she had cried.

The boy raised his hand to help the woman wipe away her tears, and nodded with a smile.

Seeing his well-behaved appearance, the woman couldn't help crying again, hugging the boy and chattering:

"Your father is all to blame for this matter. He insisted on listening to others, and he was threatened to put the Zheng family in dire straits."

"..."

"It's okay for Mother to die, but I feel sorry for that old man. Our Zheng family may only be considered a family when we are facing life and death. It's ridiculous to say."

Zheng Nian stroked his mother's back lightly, feeling her warmth spread to his fingertips.

"Mother remembers that after you were injured when you were young, you especially liked to throw yourself into Mother's arms, and sweetly called Mother, complaining about this and that, how I want to go back to that time."

"..." Zheng Nian hugged Mother even tighter, and rubbed his head on Mother's shoulder.

At that time, he could still speak.Zheng Nian also wanted to go back to that time.

"Do you remember Nian'er? When you were eight years old, you went to your uncle's house to pick lotus flowers, but accidentally fell into the river."

"Although the river water in summer is not very cold, it can also make people catch cold. You sneezed several times when you came back and said that you would never touch lotus again, so we have never planted lotus in our house. Nian'er still remember?"

Zheng Nian nodded again, closing his eyes and remembering everything A Niang said.

"When Nian'er was 14 years old, Nian'er became very famous, and His Royal Highness even took the initiative to come to the mansion to find you. At that time, the people who walked with you were all prestigious noble families. At that time, Mother thought that you would be more promising in the future. Nian'er will be an official in the court, he is highly regarded by the saints, and his future is bright, and our Zheng family will also honor our ancestors because of Nian'er."

"16 years old... oh..." The woman thought of something, stopped talking immediately, and found something else to say.

Zheng Nian's eyes darkened. At the age of 16, he could no longer speak. To him at that time, it was like having a nightmare that he would never forget.

Up to now, he still remembers the events of that day quite clearly, when his father stood by and watched him being dumbed down.

"At this point, what's the use of talking about it!" The door was pushed open, and Imperial Physician Zheng walked in, reprimanding her with an unhappy expression.

Zheng Nian let go of A Niang, with a cold expression on his face.

The woman pointed at Imperial Physician Zheng, gnashing her teeth with hatred, "It's not all your fault, if it wasn't..."

Imperial Physician Zheng has been hearing the same accusation every day for the past few days, and he has grown impatient: "I have said it several times, he threatened your life and forced me to frame King Rong."

The woman laughed at herself, "Death is imminent, and I don't know who is going to kill us. What crime did I do in my previous life to follow such a cowardly and incompetent old man like you!"

Doctor Zheng was not in the mood to quarrel with her. He walked to the side of the couch, touched Zheng Nian's head and stopped halfway. After thinking about it, he withdrew his hand. They sent someone over, it doesn't look like they are here to save Zheng's mansion, I'm afraid they are here..."

"Tonight?" The woman burst into tears again, staring at him suspiciously with her swollen eyes.

"Yes, the people from the imperial court are coming soon, Nian'er can't die." Imperial Physician Zheng said firmly.

The woman thought that the more important thing was to keep Nian'er, she no longer cared about crying, and wiped her tears with the back of her hand, "Yes, Nian'er can't die. How about hiding in the cellar?"

"There are people in the backyard who are closely watching, and there is no escape, and the only feasible solution is this." Imperial physician Zheng sighed, with guilt in his eyes, "As the head of the family, I was the one who pushed the Zheng family into the fire pit. My family is in danger and there is nothing I can do but watch it happen."

They are all going to die tonight, the woman figured it out, and stopped making things difficult for him, showing an understanding expression: "Oh, what are you talking about, in fact, I know you have nothing to do, just like Nian'er 16 Years old..." The woman looked at Zheng Nian, her heart ached and she couldn't continue, "Oh, forget it, don't think about it, I know you can't help it."

After Imperial Physician Zheng heard the word 16 years old, he also looked at Zheng Nian, with deeper guilt in his eyes.

The woman was afraid that he would think too much, so she urged, "Stop thinking about it, hurry up, send Nian'er to the cellar, and remember not to let any servants see it."

"Oh... oh..." Imperial Physician Zheng responded repeatedly, wanting to help Zheng Nian to stay on the bed.

Zheng Nian didn't leave, he shook his head, his eyes showed indifference and resistance.

Imperial Physician Zheng knew his temperament well, so he couldn't force him, and it was useless to worry, Imperial Physician Zheng could only ask him, "Why didn't Nian'er leave?"

Zheng Nian smiled silently, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, his left hand was spread out in front of him, and his right hand was clenched into a fist and placed on the palm of his left hand.

Doctor Zheng and the woman changed their expressions after seeing it. What Zheng Nian meant was that he wanted to play chess.

Playing chess is a scary and exciting thing for everyone in the Zheng family. Some people are frightened by the news, some are ecstatic, and most of them belong to the former.
