Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

Xie Gui saw that he was jumping in a hurry, so he put the porridge bowl aside, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, talk slowly if you have something to say."

Tiangangwei stared straight at Pomegranate, but his voice was as low as a mosquito:

"The medicinal materials... are gone..."

Shi Liu stood up and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?!"

Tiangangwei repeated it nonchalantly.

"The medicine is gone...the fleet ran into the Yingren, and it was burnt down..."

There was no sound in the flower hall, only Feng Ya stood there blankly, and softly called young master.

Xie Gui just frowned slightly, and asked: "Have you found out who Lu Ying is from?"

Tiangangwei swallowed fiercely, "I already know, I'm sending people to chase after me, but..."

"The Ying people are haunted and haunted. Since the three southeast counties have strengthened their coastal defenses, they have stopped harassing them on a large scale. I guess they won't be able to catch them this time." Xie Gui sighed, "It seems that I still have to beat Captain Li. If he doesn't want to go up next year It’s ugly in Beijing, so work hard.”

The man took the order and left.Shiliu worried and said: "Young Master, what should I do?"

Xie Gui didn't seem so worried, but instead comforted her, "Several batches of fleets bring medicinal materials every year, and my poison is not in a hurry this year."

Shiliu wanted to say something again, but Xie Gui stopped her, "Don't tell him either."

Pomegranate felt uncomfortable, excused to find some other herbs to try, and hurriedly resigned and left.Looking at the unfinished half bowl of Laba porridge in her hand, Feng Ya suddenly felt tasteless.

It's been a really bad year.

At the end of the new year, there are six seals, and there are some small movements in Beijing.In the first month of the second year of Yuanping, the Sheng and Wei families lost some manpower again, and their power was not as good as before.

As Xie Gui expected, Commander Li did collude with the two families.Seeing that the new emperor was ruthless against the two families, and he was about to wipe out the roots, he couldn't sit still.But he was suppressed by Xie Gui in Jinghai County, and he didn't even have a chance to breathe. He was like an ant on a hot pot for a while, running around in a hurry.

The small disturbance in the iron mine last time made Junshou Xie's impression of him extremely bad. If he didn't do anything about it, he wouldn't even be able to keep the county lieutenant.

Years later, several colleagues from the county government found an elegant place in Changfeng City to gather together, and Li Junwei also attended the meeting.

After drinking wine for three rounds, someone began to talk: "I really miss the former county sheriff..."

Someone nearby sneered, "That guy died a few years ago, why are you still mentioning him?"

When the three southeast counties were harassed by the Ying people last time, the former Jinghai prefect failed to escape the wrath of the late emperor, and was directly arrested and returned to the capital for interrogation, and died on the way to exile.

The rest of the officials had more or less been removed and replaced, so when it came to the events of the year, everyone didn't feel much, except Li Junwei, who was quietly nervous at the side.

In the collusion with Yingren back then, he was part of the Seventh Prince's party, so he also had a small share of benefits.Later, when the Seventh Prince fell from power, he relied on the power of Concubine Li's mother clan, and because the matter was not serious, he suppressed and hid himself.

The talkative man took two sips of his wine and said with emotion: "You don't understand. Now the person above us is His Majesty's confidant, and he will have to go back to Beijing sooner or later. I have relatives who work in Beijing and have heard of this romantic relationship." rhymes..."

A group of old fried dough sticks gathered together, telling the rumors about Xie Gui and Feng Zhang vividly, and from time to time they let out wretched laughs.

Another high-pitched voice said: "This man has a good appearance, no wonder he is so favored." After speaking, he laughed twice.

Jinghai County is a rich place, and it has always been used by the emperor's courtiers who want to be promoted and reused. Even if they don't do anything here, they can still show good achievements.

"Isn't it?" the talkative person laughed, "So, what status does he have, how could he associate with us? Besides, he was the prime minister before, and he was the object of cursing favor with the group of high-minded people in the capital. Like one, drink and have fun with us."

Someone else snorted, "It's been half a year, tell me, has he ever shown his face?"

Including Li Junwei, everyone was startled.

It is also true that since Xie Gui took office, he has never even done anything to be courteous in the officialdom.Except for the things that the county government had to do, they hardly saw Xie Gui.

Xie Gui didn't want to give them this talk, but the poison hadn't been cured, otherwise he wouldn't give them a chance to chew his tongue.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

At nightfall, the banquet broke up, Li Junwei said goodbye to his colleagues, wrapped in a robe and left the private room, circling at the door of the house, and ran to another direction.

After half a month, Li Junwei got the news from a familiar way.

Even if the Governor of Xie was the prime minister, he lived in seclusion.But he still went to Yandi with Yuanyuan before, why did he change so much?

Li Junwei frowned and thought.

-

At the beginning of February, a new batch of fleets will return to Daysun.

Xie Gui's poison has started to show up slowly, and he often forgets things.When the toxicity is a little weaker, he is glad that at least he is not unable to speak and deed, and he can calm down the officials below.

You can have a basin of cold water in your head in a blink of an eye.

The Yingren came out of nowhere and hijacked the fleet.

When Shiliu heard the news, she immediately cursed and greeted all eighteen generations of Ying people's ancestors.

Xie Gui first noticed the clue, "It should be someone doing something wrong."

Shi Liu nodded, "Young Master, don't worry, there is another fleet coming in April, and that batch should arrive safely."

Xie Gui nodded, just about to say something, he looked at Pomegranate with wide eyes, completely forgetting what he wanted to say.

Seeing the pomegranate, I felt angina in my heart.

Who is taking the fleet?

As April approached, Pomegranate was extremely nervous, and even prescribed a soothing prescription for herself.After Qin Jiu found out, he took the opportunity to laugh at her.

But he didn't have much time, because after Xie Gui's poison flared up, his reaction was slow and his movements were stiff, so he couldn't be seen by outsiders, so he needed to solve many things.

At first, when the officials saw him coming out, they didn't suspect him.But after so many times, someone actually suspected that he was plotting against Xie Gui and asked to see the sheriff.

Qin Jiu's lungs were about to explode, so he caught Fengya and asked Xie Gui about his daily life, etc., then dressed himself as Xie Gui and went out to meet the officials.

He has lived in the capital for a long time, and he has a good appearance as a Beijing official. He also had the experience of pretending to be the governor of Shuofang once before, and he successfully bluffed the officials, including Li Junwei, and suppressed the storm.

But this is not a good thing.

Seeing Xie Gui as usual, Li Junwei was restless and didn't dare to give up, so he continued to attack.

The April fleet was not spared either.

When the news came back to Changfeng, Pomegranate was going crazy.This time Xie Gui couldn't stop him anymore, Shiliu directly reported to Fengzhang, requesting to dispatch the Tiangang Guard.

Before Fengzhang had time to reply to the letter, bigger things were waiting behind.

Battle reports of the invasion by the Ying people came again from the three counties in the southeast.After Feng Zhang got the battle report, his hands trembled slightly with anger.

The Sheng and Wei families put all their eggs in one basket, and together with the remaining local minions, they colluded with the Ying people again.

After Daysun consolidated the coastal defenses, the Ying people stopped invading aggressively.They also learned a lot of cleverness, and instead broke up into pieces, or disguised themselves as business travelers, sneaked into Dashun, and then showed their true colors, harassed the people, burned, killed, and looted.

Qin Jiu pretended to be Xie Gui, so he had no time to unload it.The sheriff had to supervise the battle together with the sheriff, and he was often so busy that he didn't even have time to go back to the sheriff's mansion.

When Shiliu finally met him, her eye circles were also red, "It's already this time, what should I do about the son's poison?"

The next batch of fleets will come to Shun again, and it will be early next year.But Xie Gui's poison was onset faster than expected. She was afraid that when the poison was detoxified by then, the poison would go deep into the bone marrow and it would be difficult to pull it out.

Qin Jiu pressed Xie Gui's face, showing obvious fatigue, "Look at it, it's not like you won't be able to solve it at that time, just stabilize now..."

The two finally felt the feeling of being at a loss.There is Fengzhang in the capital, even if there is no Fengzhang, there is Xie Gui planning the strategy.Now that Xie Gui is poisoned, it is very difficult for the two of them to handle such a big situation.

Qin Jiu only stayed in the mansion for a while, when something happened in the county office, he went out.Pomegranate wiped away her tears, boiled a bowl of anti-toxic medicine and sent it over. Seeing Xie Gui's appearance, her heart ached.

Xie Gui's room was gloomy and gloomy.Feng Ya helps him dress and eat every day, and does her duty with all her heart. Seeing Xie Gui's sluggish and lifeless look, and thinking about the young master who was so energetic before, Feng Ya is also heartbroken.

No wonder Xie Gui took the initiative to hide.Not only is it to delay the onset of toxicity, if Feng Zhang saw this appearance, Feng Zhang might go crazy.

The struggle with the Ying people is like the annoying and long rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, which stretches and sees no end.

They are like worms that burrow into Shun, they can only be beaten to death when they see them, and it is extremely difficult to find them when they hide.

In June, some Ying people even sneaked into Changfeng City.

Although there were only a dozen or so people, they gave Qin Jiu a sap.He became vigilant, and every time he went out to supervise the battle and discuss, he did not dare to leave thanks and return to the mansion, he must bring people with him to be at ease.

Tiangangwei's manpower in Changfeng is not too many, so he can only report to Fengzhang that he needs to transfer more manpower, while continuing to lead Xie Gui through the torment.

Qin Jiu's extraordinary skill was superb, he dressed Xie Gui as himself, followed by Feng Ya, and the two of them wandered around behind him every day, but no one doubted it.

At the beginning of July, the Yingren were finally almost wiped out.Only some rogues can be settled slowly later.

Li Junwei suddenly felt that the catastrophe was imminent, and regretted it very much.

He should have thought a long time ago that Xie Gui, who both Beijing and China failed to bring down, is a character he can deal with?

The two desperate bets have failed, and His Majesty is sharpening his knife in the capital, preparing to settle accounts after the fall.He is a little county lieutenant, how can he escape.

He also decided to put all his eggs in one basket.

Under the wrath of the first emperor, the coastal defenses were well built. After cleaning up the Ying people, Xie Gui, as the county guard, was going to board the navy ship to reward the soldiers.

Qin Jiu had already portrayed Xie Gui as the sheriff perfectly. Not long after he set foot on the ship, Li Junwei greeted him graciously.

Military affairs were his job, so Qin Jiu was careful.When he got to the edge of the ship, Captain Li suddenly slipped his foot and pushed towards him.

Li Junwei had a higher official position, so he dismissed other officials in advance, and only walked aside with Qin Jiu.But Qin Jiu had never seen any means, and his figure was as light as a swallow, so he dodged straight away.Li Junwei was stunned, as if he didn't expect Xie Gui, who looked like a scholar, to be so dexterous.

Qin Jiu had a half-smile, and imitated Xie Gui's slightly lazy tone, "Why does Commander Li make such a big gift? Get up and talk."

Li Junwei tried to trip him into the sea but failed, his face was already blue.Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows, waiting for him to make another move, Li Junwei suddenly waved his hand behind him, and several extremely fast black shadows flashed out and went straight to Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu's expression changed.

It turned out to be the "ghost" of the Wei family.

With Qin Jiu's skill, it is easy to deal with these people.It was too much movement, which attracted the attention of other officials.

Li Junwei's eyes were already red, and he secretly thought that anyway, the ship is all his manpower, and it doesn't matter if a few insignificant people die, so he simply mobilized the rest of the manpower, and all rushed to Qin Jiu's side.By the way, a few people were separated to deal with the rest of the officials.The rest of the officials were smart enough to realize that Li Junwei had a different intention and ignored his gentle image, they ran around and wailed.

No matter how many people come, Qin Jiu is not afraid. He has been in prison for a long time, and there are so many ways to see people.But in the middle of the kill, when even Li Junwei couldn't bear it, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurried to the other side.

Li Junwei thought that he had suffered a loss and was defeated, so he was secretly happy and followed him.

The wind and waves gradually picked up, and the ship shook slightly.

-

July in central Beijing is not much better than Jinghai County, and the heat is unbearable.The palace was a little better, Fengzhang looked through the memorial in Chaolu Palace, his movements were very slow.

Obviously, His Majesty misses His Excellency Xie.

The book boy curled up on the imperial case, also looking lazy, scratching his inkstone and paper from time to time.Feng Zhang freed his hands, wrote the letter with one hand, and rubbed the book boy's head with the other.

"His Majesty--"

Eunuch Min came from outside, walking in a hurry.When Feng Zhang saw him, he directly picked up the cat and handed it over, "Take the little thing away, for some reason, it has been pestering me all the time today, making it annoying."

Eunuch Min's expression was very wrong, and he was holding a letter in his hand.Feng Zhang's face immediately darkened, and Zhan Xin's face relaxed when he saw it.

"Nianzhi caught the collusion between the county lieutenant and the Ying people? And the Wei family and the Sheng family? Ha..."

Feng Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.

The two families have never given up and used various tricks in the capital.He had been looking forward to grabbing a handle and turning the two families into a mess, but he didn't expect that someone would send a pillow when he was sleepy, so the handle would come.

Eunuch Min trembled his lips: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The cat suddenly became irritable, scratched his dragon robe with one paw, pulled out a few silk threads, jumped back to the imperial case, and jumped around wildly after pressing the ink with its paw.

The book boy was bought by Feng Zhang, but he has always been obedient in front of Xie Gui.For this reason, Feng Zhang fought against the book boy a lot, and often made it meow.

"Little brat, can it be reversed?"

Feng Zhang didn't hold the cat down with one hand, let the cat jump to the ground next to it, and slipped away.Feng Zhang laughed angrily, and then said to Mr. Min: "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't Nian Zhi catch a trick? This is a great achievement..."

At this time, Eunuch Min didn't care about the distinction between superiority and inferiority, his face and lips were all pale.

"Your Majesty, that's Qin Jiu..." Eunuch Min's voice trembled violently, "Young Master Xie... fell into the sea... disappeared..."

Feng Zhang didn't seem to hear clearly, his eyes were filled with white light.

He fixedly looked at Eunuch Min, and Eunuch Min nodded to him with tears in his eyes.

There was a buzzing in Fengzhang's ears.
