Jinyi Night Walk

On the second day after Xia Xun returned to Pengjiazhuang, he and his wife Peng Ziqi held another solemn funeral ceremony. This time only relatives within the Peng family participated, but it was so, because the scene was so grand that many villagers and even people in the suburbs also witnessed it with their own eyes. with.

Three days later, Xia Xun went to Xiaodai, brought another generous gift, and rushed to King Qi's mansion to meet King Qi.

King Qi has been looking forward to it in the palace for a long time. It stands to reason that no matter how big an official is, it is the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers to meet the prince. When he arrives in Qingzhou Mansion and his vassal state, he has to meet him. But Xia Xun, a minister, In fact, he is more important than him in the court. He came back to pay respects to his ancestors this time. If he didn't come to pay his respects, it would be justified.

King Qi, who has always been arrogant, was uneasy because of this. Fortunately, Xia Xun has always been very polite to him. King Qi was very happy, and entertained the Duke with a grand banquet in the palace. The two chatted happily for a long time, and admired the Fan court singing and dancing.Xia Xun gave him enough face and coaxed King Qi to smile. Xia Xun took his leave only when it was getting late. King Qi kept sending him out of the palace gate and stopped before Zhaobi.

Xia Xun was about to board the car when a bodyguard approached and said in a low voice, "Report to the Duke, the whereabouts of Gao Xiang and Zhong Canghai have been found. Went to the river shop."

Xia Xun said calmly: "Those who have withdrawn from surveillance, don't pay attention to them anymore!"

Xia Xun boarded the car, sat down firmly, and the procession of honor started.

In the past few days, Xia Xun has cleaned up the Pengjiazhuang by arranging the funeral ceremony. The owner of the Pengjiazhuang did not lie, and there is indeed nothing prohibited in the Pengjiazhuang.Xia Xun made the decision again and asked the Peng family to fill up all the secret roads behind the village. In today's Pengjiazhuang, even if someone digs the ground three feet, they can't find anything unusual.

Under the persuasion of Xia Xun and Peng Ziqi, Peng Zhuang's main business also resolutely decided to cancel the connection with the Huaixi General Altar. The reason he agreed so happily was not because of this crisis, but because of Xia Xun, the son-in-law's father-in-law. Identity and such a large family property bought by the Peng family.For those who have a permanent property, who wants to risk being labeled as a rebel and continue to engage in the blood-licking career?

Uncle is right, with the Peng family's current big family business, as long as the children and grandchildren live up to their spirits, when will they have nothing to eat?If the descendants don't live up to it, even leaving the Huaixi altar to them, besides bringing disaster to them, is there any benefit?In view of this, Master Peng resolutely decided to completely cut off the contact with the Huaixi teaching altar. From now on, there will be no such name as the Peng family in the White Lotus Sect.

However, although Zhuangzhu Peng is the head of the current generation of the Peng family, some elders of his father's generation still can't figure it out. The Bailian Sect is the Ming Sect, and the South Peng and the North Korea are two major leaders!Ancestral foundation, just give up in vain?However, most of the Peng family supported the decision of the owner of the Peng estate, and it was really not a good thing for the Peng family to continue to maintain this status.

Thinking back when Monk Peng started an uprising in Huaixi, he deliberately set up another mountain gate in Qingzhou, Shandong, and sent his cronies and nephews to develop in Shandong.But now the identity of the Peng family in Qingzhou is no longer so secret, and has even attracted the attention of the court's secret agents. If they continue to insist on seeing each other, it is likely to bring disaster to the entire Peng family.

In view of this, those Peng family members who were unwilling to give up their identity as the White Lotus Sect were voluntarily "exiled" by Master Peng.

To put it simply, they have established themselves.

The Peng family was divided, and these Peng family members were completely separated from the Peng family, carrying the divided family property to establish their own family, and the condition was that they had to leave the mainland of Daming and seek their own development overseas.Although the Peng family's overseas business in the past two years is mainly trade with Japan and North Korea, places such as Luzon and Ryukyu are also connected.

The Peng family from these branches planned to settle in Xiaoliuqiu, which later became Taiwan, where there were already many immigrants from the mainland, and in the previous sea trade, they also made acquaintance with a relatively large indigenous tribe in Xiaoliuqiu, the "Taiwan". The chief of the "Wowan" tribe, which is more beneficial for them to develop there and establish a sect.

Xia Xun is noncommittal about this. Since they have separated from the Peng family, even the genealogy has completely cut off their records. From then on, they have the same surname and different clans. There is no official rule over Xiaoliuqiu in Ming Dynasty, so let them go. There it dies of its own accord.Maybe unintentionally inserting willows may not be a bad thing for the Han people.

Because the Pengjiazhuang has been handed over clearly, the only cover left is the Putai Lin family, and the Putai Lin family is not under Xia Xun's control, so although Xia Xun is in Qingzhou, he has already focused his energy on Putai Lin's family. tower.Xia Xun is in Qingzhou, Ji Gang is in Jinling, both sides are aiming at Peng's family in Qingzhou, but with the Putai Lin family as a breakthrough point, they started a remote control battle!

Mie Shifang's legs and feet were not yet sharp, and the official Tui personally supervised the boarding he was given.With one hand on his crotch, he was looking for someone to be unlucky on the street, when he suddenly saw the long-awaited guard of honor coming towards him, so he rushed to meet him.

As soon as he explained his identity, the old man didn't make any claims, but asked Xia Xun for instructions, and the car stopped.Xia Xun lifted the car curtain and looked outside the car. Mr. Mie didn't care about the pain in his buttocks anymore. Under the amazed eyes of his subordinates, Mr. Mie flew to Xia Xun's car as lightly as a swallow. Chi knelt down, and said in a clear and clear voice: "The low-ranking Qingzhou Chief Inspector Mii Shifang, I have seen the Duke!"

"Oh, Mie catcher, huh, my lord remembers you. Back then, my lord's mansion recruited thieves and killed my servant Zhang Shisan. The two inspectors who were the first to go to my lord's mansion to inspect the scene... , you are the only one?"

Mie Shifang was surprised and delighted, flattered and said: "The Duke has such a good memory, he still remembers the name of the humble official!"

Xia Xun said with a smile: "Your name, once someone has heard it, how can it be so easy to forget it? Oh, is Zhao Ximo and Zhao Tuiguan still working as an official in Qingzhou Mansion?"

Mie Shifang hurriedly said: "If you go back to your father-in-law, Mr. Zhao has been promoted now, and now Jinan is assigned the post of inspector by inspector."

Xia Xun said softly, "As expected, the deputy fifth-rank official has been promoted. You are not bad, you were just a patrol inspector back then, and now you are the chief arrester of Qingzhou."

Mie Shifang grinned, and said in his heart: "Back then you were a Qingzhou scholar, now I have to kneel and talk when I see you, why don't you say it?"

Xia Xun paused and said, "Is Mr. Mie doing anything?"

Mie Shifang finally got to the point: "My lord, there was a thief in the Pengjiazhuang ahead. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities in my humble position. I came here to plead guilty to the Duke, and assured the Duke that I will work harder in the future. Strictly arrest all the minors in Qingzhou Prefecture, and never let anyone disturb Peng's village again."

Xia Xun thought to himself: "Jinyiwei dare not reveal their identities here. The patrols and arresters in these places will be of great use soon. With their careful protection, Pengjiazhuang will be able to avoid a lot of trouble."

Thinking of this, Xia Xun showed a smile, praised him a few words, and made the chief arrester so beautiful that Xia Xun changed his mind, and said: "You are the chief arrester, and you have the right to search and arrest the nearby places." , Places like Zihe Store, Yaoshan, etc. should be cleaned up, otherwise some bull-headed horse noodles will still cause trouble!"

Mie Shifang listened to the Lord's instructions like Feng Lun's voice, and immediately patted his chest to reassure Xia Xun.As soon as Xia Xun left, there was nothing bad to look for in Qingzhou City. The chief arrester Mie was like a chicken blooded, and led a team to Zihedian and Yaoshan to catch the bull's head and horse noodles.

When Xia Xun returned to Pengjiazhuang, Xu Jiang had just returned from Putai County.

Xia Xun immediately took him into the study, and Xu Jiang reported: "The Lin family has been warned by Mr. Peng, and has begun to destroy all suspicious evidence in secret! However, I always feel that Jin Yiwei is not like in Qingzhou on the side of Putai. I also have some fears, if they really get caught, Yu Guogong will be at a great disadvantage."

Xia Xun glanced at him and asked, "What's your plan?"

Xu Jiangdao: "A small amount is not a gentleman, and non-toxic is not a husband! It's better to strike first, and never suffer from future troubles!"

Hasn't Xia Xun ever had such a thought in his heart?From the time when Tang Yaoju rebelled, he knew Lin Yuqi's general identity. He just thought about the little incense in the past and hoped that they would be safe. He also knew that now that the world is stable, it is impossible for those people to The opportunity to cause trouble, so he let him go, but who would have thought that their identities would actually threaten his own survival.

Lin Yuqi and his group didn't do any serious business, and unlike the Peng family, who had such a close relationship with him, he didn't have much psychological barriers in his heart, especially what worried him was that the Lin family was now very Knowing the identity of the Peng family, and also knowing that they are the backer behind the Peng family, they may not raise the banner again and confuse the villagers and women to rebel with them, but as long as they are unscrupulous, doing evil things is always inevitable.

Xia Xun thought for a long time, then gently wiped his eyelids down, and said in a deep voice: "Right now, the enemy is facing us, and we have to work together in the same boat; watch his words, watch his actions, if they don't know how to deal with it..."

Xu Jiang nodded, and readily responded, "I understand!"

Seeing that Xia Xun had no other orders, Xu Jiang said: "The Duke rests early in the morning, and I will make arrangements with my humble post!"

"Wait a minute!"

Xia Xun called him suddenly, fixed his eyes on him deeply, and asked, "You designed that little girl to act as a famous opera artist, and you already have such an idea? Get rid of it completely, and prepare with both hands?"

Xu Jiang chuckled, and said embarrassingly, "Duke... His eyes are like torches..."

Xia Xun said indifferently: "The first gatekeeper in Daning City back then, now he can stop the hero!"

Xu Jiang rubbed his hands with some unease and said, "Duke, it's not that the humble official is cruel and merciless. This matter...thousands of lives! There are thousands of people in the Duke's mansion, hundreds of people in Pengjiazhuang, and our entire Qianlong. Now there are more than a thousand subordinates and more than a thousand families, all relying on you to survive alone, you can’t lose the big because of small things! The Lin family is not a good way to go, he wants to harm himself, we can ignore it, but they will endanger us survived..."

Xu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "For the Peng family, the Duke of the State cannot ignore it no matter in terms of morality or family affection, but we don't have to worry so much about the Lin family. This battle seems to be nothing Once swords and swords fail, thousands of people will fall to the ground and countless families will be destroyed. Especially... If Ji Gang is toppled even the Duke of the country, there will be no one to contend with. At that time, he How many people will be harmed? In public and private..."

When Xu Jiang said this, he glanced at him secretly again, summoned up his courage and said: "Master Guo, you should not stop, but you will be disturbed by it!"

As he spoke, he took two steps back, and "Pu Tong" knelt down in front of him.

Xia Xun was silent for a long time, and said softly: "You do it!"

Xu Jiang was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed and said: "I obey my orders! Don't worry, my lord, I must be careful, so that I won't make trouble for others, and I won't hurt innocent people too much!"

When Xue Lu returned to his hometown in Jiaoxian County, such a big official came back from Beijing, seven aunts and eight aunts, so many relatives had to see him, it was really exhausting for him.After finishing these things, I started to get busy with my father's birthday banquet.

Xue Lu was mischievous since he was a child, and he often made his father worry about him. Later, he became a soldier, which made me worry about him all day long, and he always felt guilty for his father Xue Lu.After he served as the governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, he also wanted to build a house in Jinling and take his father over there to show his filial piety, but the old man was used to living in his hometown in Shandong, and it was hard to leave his homeland, so Xue Lu had to rebuild for his father in his hometown. He built a house together.

This time his old father's sixtieth birthday, Xue Lu attached great importance to it, and asked Dingguo Gong Xu Jingchang for leave to return home to celebrate his old father's birthday more than a month in advance.Xue Lu returned to his hometown and was busy celebrating his father's birthday. A school lieutenant who called himself Xu Jiang rushed over from Qingzhou Mansion. He brought news to Xue Lu's family that made them very happy: " Grandpa Guo will come to the east soon, and it is very likely to catch up with the birthday of the old man of the Xue family."

There are still a few days left for Mr. Xue's birthday. Xue Lu reckons that Mr. Guo will also be able to catch up. Moreover, this birthday will be celebrated for three days in a row.What an honor for the Grand Duke to attend his Lao Tzu's birthday?Even after five lifetimes, his descendants will be able to boast of this matter to others.

Xue Lu's face was full of glory, and his heart was ruthless: "If the Duke can't come in time, I will celebrate my birthday in three days, and I will change it to seven days. If I don't come after seven days, I will celebrate ten days. I must wait for the Duke to coax me." I am happy!"

Xue Lu was overjoyed, and personally sent a little captain to leave. When he went outside, he first stuffed a roll of hard-earned money into Xu Jiang's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Xu Captain, please go back and reply to the Duke." , let’s say that Xue Lu is making serious preparations here, and he will definitely wait for the Duke of the state to drive him.”

Xu Jiangdao: "My lord, what kind of delicacies have you never eaten? What kind of big scenes have you never seen? No matter how well you prepare in Jiaoxian County, what new tricks can you come up with? Follow me Said, if you want to coax the Duke’s heart, it’s better to coax the Duke’s daughter to be happy. Our Duke, his wife, and Miss will all come here together. The Miss is the heart of our Duke. She wants to If you are happy, the Grand Duke will naturally be happy."

Xue Lu slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, thank you very much!" He hurriedly stuffed another roll of hard-earned money into Xu Jiang's sleeve, and humbly asked for advice, "I wonder what Missy likes?"

Xu Jiang said with a smile: "Hey, a little kid, I like to be lively. You see some interesting sideshows, plays, etc., invite a famous troupe to come back and sing at the hall, and the little lady is not happy?"

Xue Lu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: "Yes, yes! Xue Lu is a big bastard. If Captain Xu hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have come up with such a good idea. Thank you for your advice, thank you for your advice!"

Thanks to Xue Lu's frequent visits to relatives and friends recently, there are also many guests welcoming and sending them off, many of whom brought their juniors, so he always has several gift money in his pocket at any time, and now he takes them out all at once, stuffing them all into Xu Lu's pocket. Ginger hands...
