after rebirth

Master Zhizhi’s funeral was simple and grand. It was simple because there were no complicated ceremonies and arrangements; it was grand because after hearing the news of the master’s death, many faithful men and women came to see him off for the last time. .The scene was quiet and solemn, talking in a low voice, no one was making loud noises, and the order was orderly.

Next to the stupa on the mountain behind the Daxiangguo Temple, a firewood pile was set up, and the best fruit trees were piled up together waiting to see the master off.On one side of the wood pile, the body of the master sat cross-legged on the futon, with a peaceful and peaceful face, as if asleep. On the other side, the monks in the temple chanted the greatest grief, reluctance and respect for the deceased.

Master Zhizhi only accepted one person as his apprentice in his life, and that was Xiaojing.What Xiaojing said in the palace was beyond everyone's expectations, but now his behavior is just like what he said, which everyone did not expect at the beginning. A child can see more clearly than an adult.Xiao Jing quietly sat next to Master Zhizhi's body, holding one of Master's hands trustingly, as if saying goodbye, but also as if she was reluctant to give up, but she didn't cry or make trouble, which made people feel more distressed.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much for coming." Master Zhixian, Master Zhixian's younger brother and the next abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, said after bowing to Zhao Hengxu.

"Master, you are welcome. Master Zhizhi is a wise man and a virtuous man of Daqi. He has helped me a lot. I should come here to give you a ride."

Master Zhixian and Master Zhizhi are completely different types. Although Master Zhixian lives in Buddhism, he is more sophisticated and smooth than ordinary people. He speaks and does things with shrewdness. This kind of person is more convenient to contact.

"Your Majesty, although Xiao Jing is the only disciple of Senior Brother, Senior Brother did not allow Xiao Jing to enter Buddhism. From now on, Xiao Jing will follow His Majesty, and please take care of him." Xiao Jing beside the corpse said.

"Xiaojing was entrusted to me by Master Zhizhi."

Zhixian narrowed his eyes, and after answering yes, he talked about other things with Zhao Hengxu.Because it was a funeral, Zhao Hengxu asked Du Jinrong to salute the master, and then let him leave and came to Wuweizhai at the foot of the mountain.It was still a private room by the window, and the color forging shop could still be seen diagonally across. Du Jinrong was leaning against the window, listening to Hao Ren's words.

This time it was Hao Ren who came out to protect him, looking at the honest and honest Hao Ren with a full stomach, "My lord, Du Ziteng has been imprisoned in the Jinyiwei Prison because of the drug ban, and because of the drug, he hangs out with Zhang Weida. "As the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, Hao Ren knew some things that others didn't know, and if he knew it, Du Jinrong would know it too. "It's because they said some bad things in Yanmei Zhai, about the son, and His Majesty taught them some lessons."

"En." Du Jinrong nodded, slowly fiddling with the beads, thinking of His Majesty telling himself that Du Ziteng had learned a lesson, his heart warmed. "Tell me about Du Zide."

"Here." Hao Ren sent people to follow Du Zide, and found that Du Zide did not have any indiscretions in his behavior. In addition, Du Zide has a good literary talent. He often writes a few poems in gatherings. He is not brilliant, but he is not behind. Picked up with the Ye family in the capital, relying on half of the Ye family blood on his body, he became friends with Ye Wenchou's only son Ye Chenwei.

"Relying on the meager friendship with Ye Chenwei, Du Zide successfully entered the circle of aristocratic families headed by the Ye family. The popularity is good, but the upper-class families are more generous, and Du Zide seems to be stretched a lot."

"Oh, then let Chen Liang give him some money, give Chen Liang all my savings over the years, and let him handle it well. Can Chen Liang be trusted?" Du Jinrong stopped fiddling with the bracelet, turned to look at Hao Ren asked.

"My son, Chen Liang is trustworthy. His contract of selling himself is still in the hands of his subordinates. For the sake of freedom, he will act according to the plan. It's just that the people Chen Liang hired to pretend to be his parents are a little suspicious to his subordinates. They seem to be targeting the Du family. He came here and gave Chen Liang a lot of silver to make it easier for him to associate with Du Zide." Hao Ren also knew that Chen Liang had found a pair of "parents" in the past two days, and there was no way to find out their origins in a short period of time. He could only tell Du Jinrong the suspicious things.

Du Jinrong asked Hao Ren to keep an eye on the Du family, pay attention to the movements of the two brothers Du Zide and Du Ziteng, and gradually came up with a plan aimed at the Du family's embarrassing expenditure problem.Chen Liang was redeemed by Hao Ren from the prime minister's mansion. If it wasn't for Hao Ren, he would have to lie under the old man's body to receive guests until he died. It was Hao Ren who gave him freedom, but the freedom was conditional. What he thought was that Chen Liang would take the initiative to contact Xiao Ye, which was no longer in Du Jinrong's plan.

Du Jinrong didn't have many trustworthy people in his hands. If it was too big, it would only lead to loopholes and not achieve the purpose of revenge. He asked Hao Ren to find someone to deal with Du Zide. Now it is obvious that the development of the matter is no longer in his plan. among.

A flash of thought flashed in Du Jinrong's eyes, and then he was relieved, "Let Chen Liang not be afraid to do things, and his 'parents' can also be as filial as possible, there will be no harm. Also, you don't need to be sneaky when you do things in the future." Avoid Wu Shanzhong, think about it, even if you avoid him, he will know about many things." Wu Shanzhong is His Majesty's eyes and thugs in the people, Du Jinrong lowered his eyes, with his meager power in the people, he wanted to be seamless It is impossible to hide it from His Majesty.

"From now on, let's do it freely. I want Du Hekun to have nothing." Du Jinrong said very lightly. He couldn't hear any anger or murder, but it was so plain that it made people chill.

Hao Ren lowered his head in response, thinking in his heart that the young master and His Majesty are really getting more and more alike in some respects.

————————————————————

After returning, Xiao Jing looked sleepy, sitting on the porch with her head propped up, staring blankly in one direction.

"Xiao Jing, red bean cake, do you want to eat?" Du Jinrong was holding a plate of small red bean cakes. On the red bean cakes were whole, soft and glutinous red beans that hadn't been boiled. They were flavored with sucrose and tasted sweet like sugar cane. and the aroma of red beans.

"Uncle, I will never see Master again." Xiao Jing folded her arms, feeling very uncomfortable.No matter how open-minded he is, Xiao Jing is still a child. Even though he has seen many deaths, he still cannot accept death.

Du Jinrong hugged Xiaojing and let him lean into her arms, "After death, people will become stars in the sky. Xiaojing's master is watching us in the sky. He will watch Xiaojing grow up slowly. Jing can't see him, but Master has been watching Xiaojing!"

"Really?" Xiao Jing raised her head, tears suddenly lost their shackles, fell out of the eye sockets, and a fine flower fell out of sight.

"Well, uncle won't lie to Xiaojing."

"Yeah." Xiao Jing really likes Du Jinrong, second only to her master, Xiao Jing finds it difficult to trust others because of her past experience, but he just accepts Du Jinrong with an open heart and no purpose. It has the taste of a mother! "Ah, uncle, your stomach is moving again. Is there a baby inside?"

In Xiao Jing's round eyes, Du Jin blushed in embarrassment, could he deny it? !

Xiao Jing blinked, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, can I sleep with you tonight?" Looking at Du Jinrong expectantly, Xiao Jing really wanted it.

Involuntarily, Du Jinrong nodded.

At night, when Zhao Hengxu heard the news, he just wanted to throw Xiaojing, who was blinking, out of the palace, and holding his hands, Zhao Hengxu said sternly: "Xiaojing is an older child, she should sleep alone, you know? "

"Your Majesty, Xiao Jing slept alone before. She never slept with her mother. Your Majesty, just once." She raised a finger and looked at Zhao Hengxu beggingly.

"Mother can only sleep with daddy, you know, children should sleep alone, it's late, go back to bed." Zhao Hengxu pushed Xiaojing out, and asked Caisang to take him to sleep.

"..." Du Jinrong was called mother.

Since Du Jinrong had promised Xiao Jing, of course she would not violate it, so she discussed it with Zhao Hengxu and slept with Xiao Jing tonight. Xiao Jing was so happy that she couldn't stop laughing.With one person missing by his side, Zhao Hengxu couldn't sleep like he was tossing and turning pancakes. It felt like there were nails growing on the bed. It was uncomfortable at all.

"Oh." With a heavy sigh, Zhao Hengxu sat up irritably, "Zhao Yi."

"Here." After a breath, Zhao Yi walked out of the darkness, saluted and agreed.

"How about the Chen couple?"

"The Chen family has already had preliminary contact with the Xiaoye family. Marquis An Wu chose to trust the Chen family, and even took action to settle the Chen family's troubles. However, Du Hekun is still very cautious here, and he still cannot fully trust him. It will take a few more days." Zhao Yi paused and continued: "Chen Liang is very good, not only did Xiao Ye fall in love with him, but also got in touch with Du Zide, and after providing a lot of money, he has become Du Zide half of my confidant."

"Well, this is the person Jinrong is looking for." As long as Du Jinrong is looking for someone, A Mao and Gou are also good.Zhao Hengxu tapped his knees twice, thinking in his heart that since he is a talent, let's wait until the work is over and let Chen Liang shine!

Chen Liang was the person Hao Ren was looking for, and partly acted according to Du Jinrong's plan.Chen Liang's "parents", regardless of their previous surnames or whether they were husband and wife, are now Chen's couple who run a silk shop. They and Chen Liang have accepted Zhao Yi's special care and are doing things according to Zhao Hengxu's wishes. It was convenient to do things, and Zhao Hengxu asked Wu Shanzhong to participate in it, so Zhao Hengxu knew exactly what Hao Ren did without the need for hidden guards to stare at him.

"How do the Du, Wang, and Zhang families react now?" Zhao Hengxu continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Du family found the Ye family's activities, and received money from the Chen family. Du Zide also took money from Chen Liang to socialize with Ye Chenwei. The Zhang and Wang families are also working hard. The Wang family is going to give up on Wang Sixiang, and Zhang The family found someone to say that he supplied Xiaoyao San, and instructed that person to say that the Du family instructed him to sell Xiaoyao San to three small ones, in order to bring disaster to the east."

"That's great, let the Zhang family set the fire on fire, but don't burn down the Du family, it can be regarded as selling favors to the Ye family."

"Here."

After Zhao Yi left, Zhao Hengxu was still very irritable, he couldn't sleep without Du Jin, and the long night couldn't bear it any longer, so he pushed open the palace door and walked to the side hall, to Xiaojing's place.

Lifting the curtain, Zhao Hengxu was jealous, why he couldn't sleep, but Xiao Jing, a little bastard, could occupy his Du Jinrong so much that he was about to come out of sleep.Zhao Hengxu was on the verge of being furious, if it wasn't for the cold and windy night outside, he would have hugged Du Jinrong and left, now, he would feel wronged and healed.

The author has something to say: Many relatives have expressed doubts about Jinrong and Da Zhao's ability but why they didn't kill the second uncle's family all at once. They can't repay Du Du's suffering in his previous life. After all, he will be wiped out after death, and it is too cheap for the second uncle.The most painful thing is to let the second uncle lose everything that he has tried so hard to gain bit by bit, and live to suffer the pain.
