where to go home

?Eight years later, in the 29th year of Kaiyuan, the Awakening of Insects.

When Zheng Feng returned home, he heard the sound of weapons colliding outside the courtyard. The noise made him tired, thinking about how many times Yunze lost today.Pushing the door and entering the yard, a lively voice shouted happily: "Sister Yang won again! Kid Qin, what else do you have to say, stay and clean the yard obediently, haha!" It was Zheng Shu'er who spoke , at this time she was sitting on the steps watching the battle.

"Junior brother, let me go." A young, calm, cold female voice sounded. Although after the fierce fight just now, her voice was still stable. It is really rare to have such internal strength at such a young age.Zheng Feng looked at Yang Xiao who was speaking. It has been eight years since he accepted Yang Xiao as his apprentice.Yang Xiao still has her long hair tied up as she was when she was a child, and she always stands up straight, even though she is only wearing ordinary martial arts clothes, her tall figure makes her look so heroic.

"Hey, it's because I'm not good at learning. Senior sister's marksmanship is getting better and better." Qin Yunze next to him scratched his head and said embarrassedly.Zheng Feng looked at Yunze again, this kid is 14 years old now, he has sharp edges and corners, handsome features, but still a little childish.Usually he is bullied by Zheng Shuer, but he never cares about it. He seems to be an honest child.

"Boy Qin, since you lost, help me sweep the yard quickly, or Daddy will scold me again when he comes back and sees the mess in the yard!" Zheng Shuer ran over to hold Qin Yunze's arms, dangling around coquettishly.

"I've already seen it." Zheng Feng opened the door and walked into the yard, pretending to be angry and said to Zheng Shu'er who was about to run away: "I asked you to clean up when I left in the morning, but I forgot, and I didn't know what I was thinking all day. It seems that you will be punished to face the wall and think about your mistakes, and change your laziness."

"Master, please don't blame Shu'er. She just came back from learning embroidery from Master Embroidery. She happened to see me discussing with my junior brother, so I didn't have time to clean it. It's all my apprentice's fault." Yang Xiao said hastily.

"Yes, master, Shu'er just came back, don't blame him. I was the one who pestered my senior sister to practice guns with me... I will clean up the yard right away!" Yun Ze put down the gun as he said, ready to Pick up the broom to clean up the yard.

"Hey, you two, just let her get used to it, haha. Come and enter the room first, don't be in a hurry, and do it after dinner." Zheng Feng shook his head helplessly, and pulled the three children into the room.

It has been eight years since such a dull day.Zheng Feng always complained that the three of them were noisy, messing up the yard and the house at every turn, and often ran to the mountains together, only coming back at night, but he cared and loved them very much.As the saying goes, your own children can say whatever they want, but they can't let others scold them.

After the meal, Yang Xiao went back to the house, took a flannel cloth, and wiped the Mosong gun.Over the years, she has been practicing martial arts diligently, practicing guns every day, but she has never really used her father's Mosong gun. The tip of the gun is as bright as new, and she can feel the sharp and cold blade of the gun just by wiping it.

"It's been eight years..." Yang Xiao murmured.

"Knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door.

"Wait a moment." Putting the gun away, Yang Xiaocai ran to open the door.

"Sister Yang——" It was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl who ran in. She was not tall and only reached Yang Xiao's waist. She was very cute, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Yunze.

"It's Yunlan, why are you here?" The person who came was Qin Yunze's only sister, Qin Yunlan.

"I came to look for my brother, my father said that my brother doesn't go home to eat now, he must be hiding at Uncle Zheng's house to be lazy~" Qin Yunlan sat next to Yang Xiao, shaking his legs and said.

"Pfft, your brother is busy practicing martial arts, so he forgot the time, I'll take you to find him." Yang Xiao couldn't help laughing.She usually takes good care of the brothers and sisters of the Qin family, especially the younger sister Yun Lan, probably because Yun Lan usually likes to cling to her, and feels like her own sister.In fact, Zheng Shu'er also likes to cling to Yang Xiao, after all, Tiance has more boys, and Yang Xiao is handsome and good at marksmanship, so he is naturally popular.But Zheng Shu'er likes female reds, and she always goes out to study with her master during the day, while Yun Lan is weak, so she can't practice martial arts every day, so she can often watch Qin Yunze and Yang Xiao practice martial arts. Over time, they became familiar stand up.

Yang Xiao took Yunlan to the main hall to look for Yunze, just in time to see Yunze coming out, he looked up just in time to see Yang Xiao, thought the two were going to find the master, so he said: "Senior sister, Yunlan, don't go in, the master seems like I was talking to people, no, even I was kicked out."

"Brother, if you don't go home, dad will scold you~" Yun Lan ran over with small steps.

"Oh? Who is Master talking to, we don't know each other?" Yang Xiao asked Yunze suspiciously.

Yunze waved his hand lightly, Yang Xiao understood, and leaned over to listen gently, "I heard that it was about the robbing of food and salaries last time, it seems that it is not as simple as it was thought at the time."

"...the food and pay were lost, but the batch of food and grass that was transported to the southwest to suppress the rebels three months ago? We raised that batch of food and grass, and the shence army escorted them. They set off from Dongdu, and they were robbed after a short distance. Afterwards, many refugees were arrested, saying that they were a group of desperadoes, and they didn’t care what supplies you had, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these were scapegoats, and General Xu was furious about this. But thinking about it carefully, at that time In time, they didn't take the official route, and there are always some bandits on the small roads, if you are not careful, the plundering of food and grass is indeed very likely to happen."

"It seems to be. I vaguely heard their conversation. The robbing of food and grass has something to do with a certain minister in the court."

"Oh? Which minister is it?"

Yun Ze scratched his head, "I don't know about this, no, I was sent by Master before I finished listening."

"If this is the case, Master should be investigating this person. I'm afraid this matter is not simple." Yang Xiao said with a little worry.

Qin Yunlan on the side waved his arms not to be outdone, and interrupted the conversation between the two, "What are you two talking about? Yunlan also wants to hear~"

Qin Yunze quickly grabbed his sister's arm and said, "Yunlan, we're talking about Master's birthday next week, don't you want to send Master your writing?"

So Yunlan was successfully "deceived" by her brother's kindness.

"By the way, Senior Sister, I went to help them repair the fortifications yesterday and earned some money. If you have time in a few days, come with me to Luoyang to buy a congratulatory gift for Master?" Qin Yunze asked Yang Xiao in a low voice.

Yang Xiao thought for a while, "...that's ok, I just want to choose a congratulatory gift for Master."

"Haha, I knew Senior Sister was the best!"

"Brother! Yun Lan also wants to go to the market!"

"Yun Lan, come over to Zheng's house and wait for us at Xushi, okay? If you're good, I'll bring you your favorite crispy candy~How about it?"

"Hmm..." After wandering around the market and crisp candy for a long time, Yun Lan finally chose to go to Zheng's house to wait for the two.Our simple Yunlan never thought about it, but in fact, when she goes to the market, she can also buy crisp candies by herself.

inside the house.

"Brother Chen, do you mean that someone inside the imperial court has tipped off the robbery of supplies?" After Zheng Feng closed the door tightly, he turned to ask his serious friend, Chen Huan.Chen Huan is Zheng Feng's fellow villager and works in the Ministry of Officials. Because the loss of supplies is too strange and involves the issue of traitors, both of them are very cautious.

"I think it's eight or nine." Chen Huan took a sip of tea and continued, "You think, the criminals have been caught, but why haven't the supplies been found yet? Someone must have taken the supplies and sent them to another place." For other purposes. And the spies I sent have already found out that the batch of materials had appeared in the barracks of the Lingnan rebels, isn’t it already obvious? This is a traitor.”

"But... it's also possible that the rebels themselves heard the news and went to intercept it, and we can't judge that it was our own people who did it?"

"This batch of supplies was collected temporarily. The Lingnan rebels are paying attention to the battlefield situation on their side. How can they still have the ability to send so many people to the vicinity of Luoyang to seize the supplies? Therefore, it must be someone who knows the news of this temporary delivery." , brought people to seize the supplies and then transferred them to the rebels."

"No wonder... the rebel army lost two generals in a row three months ago. It couldn't last long, but in the past two months, it seems to have regained a lot of vitality, so that our army can't attack for a long time. ..."

"That's it."

"Brother Chen, do you know who the traitor is?"

"It was Ren Zidao, the Minister of Zhongshu who was highly valued for currying favor with Li Linfu in recent years! I sent someone to find the letters between him and the rebel leader Zhong Chang under his bed. Brother Zheng, please read." Chen Huan took out the The two thin envelopes were passed to Zheng Feng, and it seemed that there were many letters inside.

Zheng Feng took the envelopes, flipped them out one by one, and the more he looked at them, the more angry he became, and his hands trembled. Finally, he slammed the envelopes on the table, and shouted angrily: "This Ren Zidao is so angry that I am so angry. It's over! We are fighting on the battlefield outside, disregarding life and death, but there are always such insidious and cunning people who eat inside and outside! They sold out my Tang Dynasty!"

Chen Huan quickly poured tea for Zheng Feng, pushed him in front of him and said: "Brother Zheng calm down, now that you know, this person must not stay in the court. You and I will definitely impeach this person to the emperor, and punish him for his crimes." Make it public!"

"It's natural. It's just that the emperor has been busy with state affairs in the past few days and has fallen ill. I'm afraid that he will have to wait for the emperor to return to court before he can play. In the next few days, I will send people to collect some evidence, and then we will all submit to the emperor."

"Very good, very good, but for safety's sake, brother Zheng please refrain from mentioning it to others for the time being." Chen Huan said with a little worry.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, I'm not a child of seven or eight years old, I know the severity of the matter." Zheng Feng put the letter into a box on the bookcase, turned to Chen Huan and said, "By the way, Brother Chen, I Apprentice Xiao'er is sixteen this year, and has reached the age of marriage, Brother Chen, if you want a good family, please help us Xiao'er to pay attention." Speaking of Yang Xiao, Zheng Feng's angry face just now also softened .

"Haha, that's natural. I also like Xiao'er, so I will naturally pay attention to him." Chen Huan also replied with a smile.

"Then thank you brother Chen first!"

……

Three nights later, when Ren Zidao was having fun with the girls in the brothel, he was so frightened by the darts flying towards him that he nailed into the bedpost that his beard almost fell off.Ignoring the screams of the girls, he stretched out his hand tremblingly and took down the note held down by the dart, and opened it to read, his eyes widening.See the note that reads:

"The evil deeds are exposed, Zheng Feng wants to beheaded, and the kindness is cherished."

Ren Zidao frowned and looked again, and when he looked up again, his eyes had become icy cold.He crushed the note in his hands vigorously, and said viciously:

"Okay... Zheng Feng... Let's see at the end... who kills whom."
