My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Bali Village was originally an imperial village. Not to mention its geographical location, the scenery is also excellent.

Facing the village gate in the distance is a maple forest. Autumn is now entering, and the maple leaves are gradually turning red. Looking from a distance, they are as red as fire, as if thousands of feet of red light are shining on it. It is so dazzlingly beautiful that it makes people unable to move away. Open your eyes.

Xu Chunshan chose the place for barbecue on the grass outside the maple forest. It was just right that he was strolling there as the servants had already gone there to set up the place.

A winding path leads directly to the maple forest. There are many flowers and plants planted along the road, both famous and unknown. They are in full bloom even in autumn.

The five of them took their entourage and strolled around the courtyard, admiring the scenery and chatting.

Not long after, an octagonal pavilion appeared on the side of the road, and a few people went in and sat down.

Knowing that the masters were resting here and that it was not far from Zhuangzi, servants soon brought tea and snacks to the masters, so that the masters could talk and relax and have tea to soothe their throats.

We are always busy with official duties, so it is rare to have a free day like this to go out and relax. The scenery here is so beautiful that I can't help but relax.

Zheng Mingzheng loves to play chess the most, and he also loves to play chess with different people. He doesn't care about it when he goes to the office, but he can't forget it in his free time. Today when he went out for an appointment, he also brought his beloved chessboard with him.

It's a pity that neither Xu Chunshan nor Mr. Cheng can play chess, Mr. Han is also a dabbler, and Mr. Chen is the only one left.

But it's better than nothing. Zheng Mingzheng took Mr. Chen's hand and started talking.

Xu Chunshan and the three of them just sat drinking tea and chatting, taking a look at the chess game from time to time.

It's still early now, so there's no rush. Even if there's a rush, no matter what happens now, we have to wait for them to finish the game.

"Have any of you heard about the case that Shuntian Mansion is handling recently?" Master Han asked.

Mr. Cheng never pays attention to these things. He shook his head when he heard this. He was curious. Even Mr. Han, who only immersed himself in fortifications, talked about the case. I am afraid it is not a small case, but he has not heard of anything happening in the capital recently. Big deal?

His wife is the most trustworthy. If there is any major case such as a serial murder case, she will definitely mention a few words to her over tea and dinner in the capital.

Xu Chunshan answered, "Master Han, are you talking about that kidnapping case? I've heard of it."

Not only did he know, but he also knew a lot. He also had a share of the credit for Li Daoming being caught.

But I won’t say it out loud.

Mr. Han said: "I thought it was a simple kidnapping case, but I heard that it was related to the Qingping Sect in Xuanzhou. During the reign of the late emperor, the Qingping Sect was very famous. I never thought that it would remain silent. It actually penetrated so deeply that even officials and their families were members of the Qingping Sect, and a branch church was set up at the feet of the emperor. Who knew what the purpose behind it was? The emperor was furious when he learned about this, and asked Yin of Shuntian Prefecture to be sure Under strict investigation.

I heard that the old lady of the Li family is related to the Qingping sect. Yesterday, the Shuntian Prefecture Yin came to ask questions. That night, the Li family seemed to have invited a doctor, saying that the old lady Li was sick - I guess it will spread in a few days. The news came out that Mrs. Li was seriously ill and had been moved to Zhuangzi for rest. Given Mr. Li's temperament, it was not surprising. "

These things are not secrets. Both Zheng Mingzheng and Master Chen have heard about them.

Not only the old lady of the Li family, I heard that a steward of Guanglu Temple is also a Qingping sect member. She recently received a new order from above and is preparing to do some tricks at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Whether it is inviting ministers or envoys from other countries, Guanglu Temple is the one who organizes the banquet. If someone really tampers with it, it will be a big deal.

Fortunately, the leader of the Qingping Sect was caught and informed of the matter in advance. The Dianshi had already had his house confiscated and was imprisoned in Dali Temple to await his punishment.

But what exactly the Qingping Sect wants to do and what it has done cannot be reassured unless this matter is investigated clearly.

The first one is that among the officials in the capital, there are also members of the Qingping Sect in the mansion, not only officials, but also minor officials and servants.

If these people are not screened clearly, who knows what a big leak the capital city is.Everyone knew that Mr. Han was an upright person, so when they heard him speak like this, they were not surprised. Instead, they all laughed.

This matter is no longer a secret, so it doesn't hurt for them to talk about it here.

No matter how deep it is, there is no need to say too much.

Mr. Han is also a measured person, he accepts things as soon as he sees fit, and does not keep talking about this matter. Then he changes the topic and talks about the rebuilding of officialdom.

Speaking of this matter, it suited Xu Chunshan's wishes, and he quickly inquired about the progress of Nanzhi Road.

Everyone present knew that the Xu family was going back to Yiyang Mansion soon, so it was not surprising to see him asking about this. This Nanzhi Road was the only way to go.

Mr. Han said: "Uncle, I decided to make this trip neither too early nor too late. It's just right. The official road has just been repaired in Licheng. From Beijing to Licheng, this road is now a smooth and solid cement road. I heard that The county master’s injury has not recovered yet, so he is not afraid of bumps on this road.”

Xu Chunshan stroked his beard and said, "This is a good feeling."

Several people took advantage of the opportunity to wish Xu Chunshan a safe journey——

Seeing that it was almost done, the processed mutton had just been sent to Fenglin, and Zheng Mingzheng and his two men had just finished playing chess. Xu Chunshan made an invitation gesture and led a few people to continue forward.

After leaving the pavilion and turning a corner, the endless golden rice fields on one side came into view.

There are countless fields in the suburbs of Beijing. Even Zheng Mingzheng and his family have fields that produce rice. Naturally, they know about it.

There was nothing unusual about the rice fields. They were not as attracted to them as the maple forest in front.

But Mr. Cheng only glanced at it inadvertently, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

In the eyes of a few people, there was nothing unusual about the rice fields, but in his eyes, it looked like this.

In the rice field in front of me, the golden ears of rice were crowded together, the ears of rice were bent down heavily, and the grains on them were full.

This is something you can’t see in rice fields elsewhere.

Therefore, without even thinking about the other people, he quickened his pace and turned towards the rice field.

When he turned a corner, the others looked at each other and followed.

Xu Chunshan smiled secretly, knowing that as long as Lao Cheng saw this rice field, he would definitely be attracted.

As we got closer, the plump grains of rice became more conspicuous. Mr. Cheng couldn't help but bend down, hold a bunch of ears of grain in his hands and weigh them again and again. The expression on his face was excited and joyful. In short, it was too complicated to describe.

A few people could only see him scurrying around the fields. He was as young as a monkey, squatting down to touch here and bending down to take a look there.

"Master Cheng, what's going on?" Master Han was puzzled.

Zheng Mingzheng was also confused. He looked at this large rice field and was confused.

Mr. Cheng had seen enough back and forth, no, it was not that he had seen enough, he just couldn't wait to ask, so he temporarily suppressed his excitement, ran back, looked at Xu Chunshan and said: "Dare you ask me about this Zhuangzi?" Where did you buy your grain?"
