Cherish the youth

Qiu Shang's high fever only delayed everyone on the road for one day, and the next day they rushed to Southeast County again. When they were about to reach Dongcheng, Qiu Shang chose to take a detour to avoid trouble.

Although Zhang Yuandao had never been to Dongnan County, he knew that Dongcheng was the shortest way, so he felt very strange about Qiu Shang's detour.

Qiu Shang explained: "Zhu Chong in Dongcheng has some feuds with Changfeng Village, and it is not appropriate to confront each other head-on at this time."

Zhang Yuandao had heard of Zhu Zhong, and his partner Ling Lin was also very familiar.

Ling Lin said: "Si Fan mentioned this person in a corruption case that was solved last year."

Ling Lin didn't pretend at this time, and stayed away from the capital. No one knew that he was once the Ninth Five Supreme.

Even Qiu Shang's attitude towards him was no longer restrained: "Zhu Zhong could have been taken down in one fell swoop, but he destroyed the evidence at a critical moment, which allowed him to get away with it."

Ling Lin said: "What role does Changfeng Village play in it?"

If it was the past, Qiu Shang would have had to be wary of him, but now he is alone, so Qiu Shang knows everything: "We have long discovered that the Lord of the East City has a connection with Zhu Chong. Zhu Zhong is cautious and guarded. Our initial plan was to pretend to cooperate with him and secretly infiltrate his power, but after a few rounds, we found that the effect was not great, so we had to choose to confront him head-on to contain him."

The more cautious people are, the more suspicious they are, but Zhu Zhong is different. On the surface, he is the head of the Zhu family in Dongcheng, secretly controlling many bandit dens, and has intersections with the government. At the last moment, Zhu Zhong still found out.

Things here really need to be calculated, and the price Changfeng Shanzhai paid is not small.

Although the two of them didn't participate, they were in the officialdom after all, and they could imagine the thrills here. Soon, Zhang Yuandao also caught another clue: "Sifan has only served as the governor since he became an official. Could this have something to do with it?"

This time Qiu Shang considered Ling Lin's mood, first glanced at him, and then replied: "When you find out how beneficial this matter is, will you not do it?"

What can the governor do best?A person's ability and whether this person is for the sake of the people of the world. Since he is capable and brings benefits to the people, the people will naturally praise him.

Ling Lin, however, was unmoved by his cautiousness. He knew Liang Sifan's abilities best, and he also knew Liang Sifan's ulterior motives in this move. He was someone who wanted to succeed in one fell swoop, and he needed to give the world an explanation for how to become the emperor. , but if you can make the people feel that it is only good for him to become the emperor, you have to let the people know and believe him in advance. The governor is the best position, and everyone knows where he goes.

Because of this, Ling Lin never had any doubts about him, and even felt that Liang Sifan had wronged him by only serving as the governor.

Zhang Yuandao: "So once it is announced to the world, this matter will not cause too much restlessness."

Qiu Shang nodded: "The court is easy to control, but the people's hearts are what they want. If the people really don't want it, Brother Sifan will not take this last step."

So opportunity and strategy are indispensable.

Twenty years ago, the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Lou killed the first emperor to frame the benevolent King Nan. This is an opportunity.

Although the first emperor did things absurdly, but the merits and demerits are equal, the people still respect him.

Therefore, whether it is patricide or regicide, it is unbearable for the common people.

The strategy must be more cautious and prudent, and it will win the hearts of the people while gaining popularity.

So far, what else does Ling Lin care about?He used to be the Ninth Five-Year Master, but there are also displaced people in the world. It was Liang Sifan who let him see what he had been deceived in the past. He smiled in relief: "As expected of the child of the emperor."

Qiu Shangdao: "With the teachings of the old village master and Uncle Chang, how can Brother Sifan be so bad?"

He can talk to Ling Lin about the careful arrangement of these years, but he will never agree with the late emperor.

Instinctively, he even resisted this person who destroyed other people's families, so what he implied was that all this had nothing to do with the first emperor.

How could Ling Lin not understand, but today is different, he will no longer frown because of others' denial.

The horseshoes gradually drifted away, and everyone walked in the twilight. It was obviously sunset, but their backs were straight in a line.

When Qiu Shang and others returned to Southeast County, only two days later than scheduled, Zhang Yuandao saw this Changfeng cottage located deep in the mountains and forests, and exclaimed: "The masters are among the people."

Changfeng Village is not brilliant, but for Zhang Yuandao, who is used to seeing Qionglou Yuyu, this unpretentious but full of bandit characteristics really opened his eyes.

Ji Youde said with a smile: "The stockade is simple, I hope the two distinguished guests will take care of me."

Ji Youde didn't look down on Changfeng cottage, but remembered the identity of the other party. He used to live in the imperial palace, enjoy flowers and have a garden full of elegance. Can it be compared with Changfeng cottage after seeing it at a glance?

Zhang Yuandao cupped his hands and said: "Brother Youde, you are polite, now there is only me and A Lin, and there is no Emperor Shangshu."

Ling Lin also said: "In the days to come, please take care of me."

Qiu Shang pretended to be angry and said: "When you enter this stockade, you are a family. If you are a family, don't talk about two different families. We are all rough people, and the most annoying thing is to be polite. If you want to be polite, I will not."

He had beautiful features, red lips and white teeth, but he made an evil face, not only did not scare people, but it was very funny, making everyone laugh loudly, and let go of the politeness and restraint that had been pervading before.

After entering the cottage, the brothers in the village went back to their houses. Only Qiu Shang led Zhang Ling to Ji Changfeng's courtyard. Ji Changfeng's courtyard was the largest. They all live inside.

No matter how ordinary these two are now, they are also very precious. Inviting the two of them to Changfeng Village is not for the purpose of torture.

If it wasn't for these two being a couple, perhaps Qiu Shang would be so caring enough to match them up.

On this side Qiu Shang led the family into the courtyard, and on the other side Eggy rolled over in a circle... To be exact, he ran over.

The immature child's voice shouted: "Uncle Xiaoshang."

Qiu Shang instinctively stretched out his hand to hug Eggy, but when he hugged him, he felt powerless, and his brows could not help but frown: "Eggy, you are getting fat again!"

Eggy looks like there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. A few months ago, Ji Changfeng and his wife, Chang Chang and others all left, and only Aunt Sun, Fang Qin and Daqi were in the cottage. These people hurt him so much In his heart, he doesn't want him to suffer any grievances, so he wants to be as windy as possible, not to mention how unrestrained and unrestrained, it's strange to say that this physique is from someone, he is very fat easily, and now the people who control him are not around Yes, the usual homework is a little slack, so I will naturally gain a lot of weight.

Not to be outdone, Eggy squeezed Qiu Shangye's rounded face with her small hands, and said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle Xiao Shang, you only allow state officials to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps!"

Qiu Shang couldn't laugh or cry: "You still insist on words."

Eggy raised her chin and looked proud: "The name has nothing to do with IQ."

"..." Anyway, he now knows that people are little ghosts.

Seeing that the child was interesting, Zhang Yuandao laughed: "Whose family does this child belong to?"

His face looks familiar.

Qiu Shangdao: "It belongs to Brother Changfeng."

"..." Zhang Yuandao was stunned: "Who? Ji Changfeng?"

Qiu Shang looked at him inexplicably, as if there was a second Brother Changfeng?

Then Zhang Yuandao was not calm: "Ji Changfeng has a child, so his wife... A Xin..."

Yun Dandan looked at him vigilantly: "Father must have a wife, his name is Lou Qing."

So like father, like son?Why does Zhang Yuandao feel that the tone and eyes are familiar?

Qiu Shang knew what he was thinking, and he couldn't hold Yundandan who had gained weight, so he put him down and held hands and said, "Let me tell you about it slowly."

So Qiu Shang led people into the house, and at the same time told all the things that happened many years ago.

Zhang Yuandao and Ling Lin who listened frowned.

"That's how things are. Zhu Chong can't stay in public or private."

Ling Lin said: "I see."

Zhu Chong has been setting this line for long enough, and he can close the net at all times. When Ji Changfeng returns from the capital, he will be able to avenge his bloody revenge.

At that time, both Ji Zhenglin and Xiaoyun will be able to smile at Jiuquan.

When Qiu Shang came back, Aunt Sun was the happiest, and made a table of delicious dishes for him and the guests from afar that night.

After tasting a lot of delicacies, and having eaten Aunt Sun's handicrafts tonight, Zhang Yuandao praised the man's beauty and skill. He is already gentle and polite, and he is also good-looking. Aunt Sun would have been coaxed into laughter by him. You can be his mother at such a young age, but what kind of wonderful misunderstandings may arise.

Hearing from Aunt Sun that Fang Qin was pregnant, Qiu Shang couldn't help but go down the mountain to Qingxing Academy to see her early the next morning.

Zhang Yuandao was very interested in Qingxing Academy founded by his friend, so he invited Ling Lin and Qiu Shang to go with him.

It was midsummer, and the rice paddies on both sides of the official road outside the county seat were lush and verdant. When the three of them saw each other, they felt that the heat on their bodies had eased a bit.

Zhang Yuandao suddenly said, "I don't know who the magistrate of Southeast County is now?"

Qiu Shangdao: "When I left Beijing that day, I only knew that a county magistrate was acting as the county magistrate temporarily, but now I don't know what arrangements the magistrate has made."

Zhang Yuandao sighed: "Master Ji and Axin will come back in the future, but I don't know how to learn..." He suddenly stopped and looked at Qiu Shang.

But Qiu Shang didn't care about his sudden pause, and smiled and said: "There is a long way to go, only the capital can give full play to his ability."

Qiu Shang's calmness left Zhang Yuandao with nothing to say. He couldn't say anything about feelings, and he couldn't intervene. Even if Qiu Shang was sincere, he was ruthless.

It's just that Qiu Shang was very calm. He hit the south wall and turned around.

But with such calmness, I don't know whether it is joy or sorrow.

The author has something to say: the balls are coming.
