Daming Yinghua

Chapter 26 Meeting General Ma Again

People on the street gave way to both sides, but Zheng Haizhu felt that the appearance of the ancients galloping on horses was very beautiful, so he raised his face and stared at the knights from far to near.

Horses are like meteors and people are like electricity.

After five or six horses passed by in a flash, the leader in front shouted loudly, while pulling the reins, he raised the gun in his hand, and gave instructions to the knights behind.

The horse suddenly slowed down.

The leader pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and ran straight towards Zheng Haizhu.

Now it was replaced by Shunguang shining on the man's face.

Even though the beard was gone, Zheng Haizhu still recognized him at a glance.

"General Ma!"

Ma Xianglin confirmed that the woman on the side of the road was really Zheng Haizhu, and the look of surprise on his face flashed away, and he immediately cast his vigilant eyes on Tang Hong beside Zheng Haizhu.

Tang Hong smiled honestly, made a deep bow to Ma Xianglin, and asked Zheng Haizhu respectfully and softly: "Miss Zheng, are you old?"

Zheng Haizhu nodded and said, "Uncle Tang, wait a moment, I'll go say hello."

She walked up to Ma Xianglin's mount and greeted him with a smile.

Ma Xianglin glanced around from the corner of his eye, and many curious eyes stared at it as if watching a play.

On the street under blue sky and white daylight, pecking each other can make money at the box office, not to mention that such a heroic young general stopped to greet a little woman in thorn hairpin cloth trousers.

Ma Xianglin put on a serious interrogation look for passers-by to see, but only Zheng Haizhu could hear his gentle tone: "You and this old man, can you follow me to the yamen of Qiantou Weisuo? Let's talk about it in detail." .”

Jinshan is an important town, and the military office of the guard not only looks as grand as the Songjiang government office, but there is also a school yard at the door.

Ma Xianglin handed over the mount to his followers and walked to the shade of the trees beside the school grounds.

Tang Hong, who is well-versed in human nature, has already avoided the sidelines, and only guards the luggage carrier, which is the clothes and paintings that Zheng Haizhu brought back from Daishan.

At this moment, Ma Xianglin let go of his business-like indifference, and said with a complicated expression: "I found you. I was in the bandit village, and I felt that there was something wrong with Mao Wenlong, but your nephew insisted that he was an old friend of your family. Where is it easy to stop."

Zheng Haizhu weighed the meaning of his words, explored and said: "The general met my young lady later, and the young lady and Ah Kuan told you that I was kidnapped by General Mao?"

"Well, the more I think about it, the more I'm wrong. After cleaning up the mess in the bandit village that day, I rode to Songjiang Mansion. When I found Mr. Huang the next day, he was bringing Ms. Han to report to the police."

When Ma Xianglin said this, he caught the slight surprise in Zheng Haizhu's eyes, and simply used his righteousness as the best cover-up: "Miss Zheng, you saved the next life with porcelain mines. I have already become suspicious of Mao Wenlong, so I must come here." Just take a look and rest assured, who knows that something happened to you."

Zheng Haizhu was scalded by Ma Xianglin's passionate eyes, and his heart was turbulent, but he quickly laughed at himself, he couldn't think about it, and only turned to another layer of praise, thinking secretly, he really deserves to be Qin Liangyu's son, acting Be upright and righteous.

She glanced at the Sichuan soldiers who were walking their horses, and asked, "General Ma, have you been in Songjiang these days?"

Ma Xianglin replied: "Yes. Mr. Huang said that he asked some soldiers from Futai to check. Some villagers said that they saw some cavalrymen heading towards Nanhuizui at night that day, and there was a woman on one of the horses. I saw that the soldiers of the Songjiang Mansion were lazy and lazy, so I discussed with Mr. Huang, anyway, I have a survey from the Ministry of War, so why don't I bring my own people to find...you."

Zheng Haizhu saw that his expression was slightly embarrassing again, and hurriedly made a helpless smile of "this time is really unlucky", and sighed: "The general Mao is not a villain, but he is really sloppy. He mistook me for The other person sent it over without any explanation, but found something wrong. The master at the other end was also very sorry, and when he learned that I was employed by the Han family in Songjiang, he pretended to be a small gift and asked the servant to send me back."

This remark was agreed between Yan Siqi and Mao Wenlong when Zheng Haizhu left the island.

After the opening and closing of Longqing, during the Wanli period, the Li Dan Group was no longer regarded as a "sea bandit" by the Ming court at sea, but Mao Wenlong, a Liaodong general, and Zheng Haizhu, a maidservant of a gentry family, and Yan Siqi's contacts should naturally remain secret. .

Since Ma Xianglin bumped into Zheng Haizhu today, he has been observing Tang Hong's expression and behavior. Seeing that he did not threaten Zheng Haizhu and kept silent, he was respectful and cautious. He will listen to Zheng Haizhu's words now , Fang completely relieved.

"Miss Zheng, is she going back to Songjiang Prefecture now? I'll send..."

Before he could say the word "you", he suddenly turned into a "huh", looked towards the cross street and said, "The one who came here on horseback looks like Mr. Huang."

……

Huang Zunsu got off his horse and hurriedly took up his robe and ran into the military office.

I haven't seen him for a few days, he is already dressed as a seventh-rank civil servant wearing a net gauze headband and a blue robe with a patch.

"Mr. Huang!" Ma Xianglin stepped out of the shade of the tree and said loudly, "I found Miss Zheng."

When Huang Zunsu saw him, he braked hastily. He was caught by his ragged robe and fell to the ground.

Ma Xianglin and Zheng Haizhu rushed forward to help, but Huang Zunsu didn't feel embarrassed when he got up, he just stared at Zheng Haizhu.

This girl has a clean face, bright eyes, and a radiant look, she really doesn't look like she has been through a catastrophe.

Huang Zunsu's sweat-stained face immediately showed relief, but then he said urgently: "You two wait for me first, I have something important to ask Jinshanwei's palm print."

Huang Zunsu's figure disappeared into the military office, Ma Xianglin said to Zheng Haizhu: "Let's take a look."

Ma Xianglin came to Jinshanwei yesterday to socialize, the guard knew that he was from the military department of the capital, and treated him very respectfully, so he and Zheng Haizhu were allowed to stand at the threshold at the moment.

After a while, the two heard Huang Zunsu's voice obviously raised, as if arguing with someone.

Ma Xianglin frowned, turned his head and asked the guard behind him who was also poking his head to listen to the excitement: "Brother, isn't it the palm print that I saw yesterday who talked to Mr. Huang?"

The doorman bowed and said: "Return to the general, Mr. Zhang Yin and Mr. Signer, both went to inspect the coastal defense this morning. There are only a few book offices and those in charge of military weapons in the yamen..."

Before the gatekeeper finished speaking, Huang Zunsu came out angrily, and a man who looked like a subordinate followed behind him and said in a stack of voices: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the court official is not here, how can the little one make arbitrarily assertive decisions, and send them to the court?" The soldiers of the outpost army are handed over to the master to take away."

Huang Zunsu didn't talk too much anymore, seeing Ma Xianglin and Zheng Haizhu waiting at the door, and then looked over Ma Xianglin's shoulders, and landed on several Sichuan soldiers waiting in the school yard, he couldn't help but feel moved.

"Mr. Huang, what happened?"

"General Ma, Huang has something to ask for!"

After descending the steps of Jinshanwei Yamen, Huang Zunsu and Ma Xianglin spoke to each other almost at the same time.
