Daming Yinghua

When Wei Zhongxian and his team left, the rescued farmer and his family members, as well as fellow trackers gathered around to thank Zheng Haizhu and the two generals.

Qin Fang, the tooth man, turned his head faster than the wheels of a cart, he lifted his robe and rushed forward, shouting loudly: "Our wife is really a hero among women, don't you think so?"

Zheng Haizhu knew that he was determined to hug his thigh, and when he spoke again, he pretended to be a subordinate of the Zheng family.

Of course Zheng Haizhu didn't think it was a pest, she just needed a loudspeaker to use as her propaganda mouthpiece.

So, following Qin Yaren's careful thinking, she pretended to be stern and said: "Old Qin, don't boast like this, we just make a noise when we see injustice on the road. Master Zuo Yushi is the one who is conscientious and down-to-earth." Really provide food, clothing and housing for the elders, or how can the court use good ministers. There are also General Ma and Admiral Cui, who are also officials who protect the people fairly.

Qin Yaren hurriedly answered: "Yes, everyone is in full swing. Everyone must remember Madam's words."

Zheng Haizhu smiled: "I'm not the chief officer of Gyeonggi Tuntian, so remember what I said. Fellow villagers, when Zuo Yushi is here, you must report to Mr. Zuo, don't add oil and vinegar, but don't be timid and fearful like sawing your mouth It’s like a gourd. You plant the land allocated by the court, and you plant it so well, you can speak boldly.”

"Madam, don't worry, we will definitely explain to Master Zuo."

"Thank you madam, thank you two great generals."

"Gentlemen, let the younger ones go to work. Don't delay this farming season."

Zheng Haizhu, Li Daniu, Hua Er, and the new teammate Qin Yaren, who had been recruited halfway, greeted the farmers and trackers cordially and said goodbye.

Although Ma Xianglin was limited by his status as a senior military officer of the imperial court, he sat on his horse, nodded to the villagers from time to time, and clasped his fists to several long-clothed scholars who came forward to show their goodwill.

Beside them, Cui Wenjing, the admiral of the patrol battalion, squinted his eyes, looked at the situation in front of him, and thought to himself: Ma Xianglin, a female comrade in Liaodong back then, was very good at inspiring people's hearts.But it seems that this woman admires Dong Lin, and she still doesn't forget to give gold to the court in her words. Xiao Ma's reaction when seeing her is not normal. Well, I have to remind this Nanman stupefied, why is there an old friend? In front of him, he missed the big plan.

The crowd had almost dispersed, Zheng Haizhu turned around, and Ma Xianglin immediately jumped off his mount.

As soon as his complexion relaxed, he showed a candid and friendly smile, and said with pleasant eyes: "I will escort you into the city, if there is nowhere to go for dinner, why not go to my house to eat, Fengyi will be happy."

Cui Wenjing also walked over with a warm face and bowed his hands.The admiral of the Beijing Patrol Battalion holds a rank of five or six, and is a military post. Even if Ma Xianglin is not present, he will treat a wife like Zheng Haizhu who is pregnant with a rank-[-] order with the same courtesy.

"My Majesty Cui Wenjing, my wife has come to Beijing from a long way, if you want to reminisce with General Ma and his wife, Cui should host a banquet in the east to show the friendship of the landlord."

Zheng Haizhu had been thinking about this person just now.Although Wei Zhongxian is not yet full of power, after all, he is also the great companion of the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao, and he can lead Dongchang out to do business, so how could he be flattering to the head of a patrol camp?
Hearing that his surname is Cui, Zheng Haizhu couldn't help thinking about it, and seemed to realize something.

She sighed softly, and said with an expression of sincerity rather than socializing: "As far as the friendship of the landlord is concerned, I have already benefited from the admiral. If it hadn't been for Admiral Cui to turn around, the situation would have been deadlocked. Xianglin knows that I am short-tempered , and it started from the grassroots, I really don’t want to see these poor people suffer.”

Cui Wenjing waved his hand: "It's the same, Cui can save it. Madam Zheng, since General Ma is here, Cui won't send his subordinates to escort him? Let's leave now."

Zheng Haizhu Fuli: "When the admiral is not on duty, I will pay a visit."

……

Today's commotion is already big enough, Zheng Haizhu feels that there is no need to neglect his old friend just to wait for Zuo Guangdou foolishly.

She then explained a few words to Qin Yaren, telling him to stay here for the next few days, watch for some movement, and inform Li Daniu when he turns back, and there will be a reward from his family.

Qin Yaren happily agreed, and also guessed that this Zheng family wanted to make friends with Zuo Yushi, so he cleverly repeated the key points such as "Songjiang Zheng", "Mrs. Anyuan", and "Zhongzheng Yingchao" to the gold master. After receiving the words, Zheng Haizhu said "You have bothered me", and then left respectfully.

Ma Xianglin asked his subordinates to spare a mount, Zheng Haizhu stepped on the horse's back, let go of the reins, and walked side by side with Ma Xianglin, heading towards the Tongxian stupa where Dong Qichang's ancestors and grandsons worshiped Buddha.

It's been a long time, and they just worked together to relieve the common people's difficulties. The two people who have no relationship between men and women for a long time, and the two people who are separated from the south and the north, are like all the old friends who have been reunited for a long time in the world, without any barriers, say Talk about what they have experienced in the past two years.

However, Ma Xianglin knew in his heart that compared with Zheng Haizhu's sincere and rich narration, he had covered up too much.

Gradually, the gentle and joyful female voice in his ears seemed to make his complicated mood about the big event a little softer, and then, as if the spiritual palace was knocked lightly, and the door was half opened, he suddenly found the right person .

Zheng Haizhu's account of the Ming He naval battle and surrender, Chongming land reclamation and military training, Hou Jin's spies, and Wu Bangde's sacrifice of his life for righteousness all changed from a clear picture to a blur, and the woman's voice seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

Ma Xianglin seemed to only hear his own whisper: If the incident fails, Feng Yi and the child will be entrusted to her.

When he was in a daze, Zheng Haizhu suddenly asked: "Xianglin, Cui Admiral Cui supervises him, is there any background?"

Ma Xianglin's thoughts turned, and he said bluntly: "The patrolling camp has always been the doormat in this city of Beijing. Have you noticed that the leading eunuch in Dongchang is actually afraid of Admiral Cui? Well, Admiral Cui's brother is called Cui Wensheng. It is the big peng in front of Concubine Zheng."

Cui Wensheng... the Hongwan case...

When Zheng Haizhu came to Beijing at this juncture, he naturally put the Hongwan case, which should happen soon, at the top of his mind.

Now it is the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and the Wanli Emperor is about to die. After the crown prince Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, according to the historical process, the concubine Zheng Gui with ulterior motives will send many beauties to the new emperor. Li Kezhuo, an official of Honglu Temple, used laxatives and red pills successively, so that Zhu Changluo died a month after he ascended the throne.

Cui Wensheng...Cui Wenjing...two brothers, one is in the palace and the other is leading the patrolling battalion outside the palace.

But this Cui Wenjing changed the style of his predecessors who were fooling around and hired Ma Xianglin to help train soldiers?
Is it true that he doesn't want to eat a vegetarian meal with a corpse, that he has the blood of a warrior, or does he have other plans?
For a moment, Zheng Haizhu was worried about Ma Xianglin, but it was impossible to talk about the Hongwan case with his friends right now, so he thought silently, and tried to investigate this Cui Wenjing together with Li Daniu in the gap between meeting Donglin Party.

The master on horseback and his followers on foot traveled three or four miles slowly and arrived in less than half an hour.

Ma Xianglin was regarded as the great benefactor who rescued Dong Zhai back then, when Dong Qichang came to Beijing, the first acquaintance he met was General Xiao Ma, so he was naturally happy.

Hearing Zheng Haizhu calmly explain what happened today, after thinking about it carefully, he also realized that Zuo Guangdou would probably know soon.

If Zuo Yushi knew it, it meant that Yang Lian knew it, so when he introduced Zheng Haizhu to Yang Yushi, he could save a lot of talking and make Yang Lian believe that he, Dong Qichang, made friends with both men and women. Clear stream.

Dong Qichang was thinking about it, when he heard Ma Xianglin say that he would hold a banquet for them, he hurriedly declined with a smile: "I don't want to join in the fun, I just come to Haizhu to talk about my own words with the daughter of Lingyue Zhang's servant. cheaper."

Both Ma Xianglin and Zheng Haizhu guessed that, after all, Emperor Wanli was still in power, and Dong Qichang, a former teacher of the prince, would definitely be taboo to go to the general's house.

Ma Xianglin then stopped inviting him, and sent two more guards to Dong Qichang's boat to escort him into the city. He, Zheng Haizhu, master and servant, continued to enter the city by land and went to the house on Qipan Street.

"Azhu, I have to tell you a happy event," Ma Xianglin said when Qipan Street was in sight, "Fengyi and I already have a baby, and the baby should come out around the Double Ninth Festival."
