Chapter 1 Drinking porridge

Zheng Mengzhu stretched out his palm and pressed it virtually. Motioned for her to sit down. Said: "Light rain." You must be strange in your heart. Why did I know he didn't do it? but they have sent men after you. Isn't it. Jing Lingyu was stunned. Reacted immediately. Slowly sat down: "You want to stabilize the real thief and murderer." so that it can be exposed. Good at having solid evidence. Lord Zheng Meng lowered his eyes and said: "Although there are many visitors on the night of the sword festival. But the records of the Sword Cultivation Hall were kept secret. How can an outsider steal it? It must have been the work of a traitor. With the temperament of this child. I won't do that. But now he is wronged for him. It will be a surprise to the snake. As for the cause of Shen Yuanji's death. I've checked it secretly. Although he had many sword wounds on his body, he was resentful. But the fatal wound was in the chest. The sword wound cut only flesh and skin. But inside the wound. There was also a cross-shaped wound. Penetrate deeply. Apparently it was not the work of an isolated stone. ”

Chang Sihao's heart seemed to be plucked by something. Urgently: "Around the wound." Can be toxic. Zheng Meng said: "Yes." After being injured by common poisons, the skin is mostly ulcerated and bloody. The skin at the wound is black and dry. It is obviously caused by a foreign poison. The virtuous nephew was so surprised. I don't know where it came from. Chang Sihao hesitated slightly. Then he told the autopsy on a rainy night in the Qin Mansion and the fake Yuan Liangyu.

Zheng Mengzhu heard that this matter was related to Dongchang. He already understood that he was hesitant because he thought of his friendship with Feng Bao. But in the end, the truth will be spoken. Obviously, there is no separation from himself. also showed a little admiration. Then I fell into thought.

"I remembered. ”

Jing Lingyu said: "We were in Wu Zetian Temple that day. Fake Yuan Liangyu was hit by you and flew away. Flee from the situation. Let's talk to Peng Kunjiu and Fang Chengyi. It won't be long. Then he listened to the whistle in the forest. It must be that Second Brother Shen can't act after being ordered by my cousin. When the fake Yuan Liangyu saw it, he wanted to be harmed. He couldn't move his hands and feet. I had to purse my lips and call for help. At that time, my cousin abandoned Shen, and the second brother was looking for me everywhere. Listening to his call for help is only to call his companions to solve the acupuncture. I didn't expect anyone to kill him. Won't turn back. And Fang Chengyi and they didn't arrive in time. That's when he was killed. ”

Xiaoqing said: "It is also possible that he is calling people." led the fake Yuan Liangyu over. Didn't Brother Chang say it just now. There were two whistles around the time. ”

Chang Sihao said: "Those don't matter. It's just that this fake Yuan Liangyu is a person from Dongchang. He will kill Shen Yuan. That's a little puzzling. ”

Jing Lingyu heard his words. Shaking his head, he said, "The two trees are planted closer together." The trunk can't be touched. The roots and branches of the foliage are inevitably hooked and conflicted. Dongchang and our alliance do not commit many contacts on the surface. Undercurrents are also indispensable in private. Socialize with these people. It was Tie Guan Li who squeezed his eyes. You're fooling me. I'm fooling you too. Their people are used to it. Last time, I lobbied our alliance to use the power of the rivers and lakes to deal with Juhao Pavilion. After being rejected by Uncle Zheng, he didn't dare to make a mistake. But the face is thin. It is inevitable to plant a grudge in your heart. Ming doesn't come. Come dark. At that time, Second Brother Shen was knocked to the ground and was powerless to resist. There was no one around. That guy is not a good man and a woman. Will you let it go if you have the opportunity to take advantage? What's more, he was not lightly injured when he hit you at that time. Anger is in the thick of my heart. There's nowhere to vent. Second Brother Shen caught up, how could he not be unlucky. ”

Xiaoqing said: "My sister despises him." Replaced by the anger of ordinary people. There is a long cord in the hand. It must be a rope to shake off. But this man wanted to get a short thorn to strike at the old wound. Obviously angry but not confused. Scheming. Most of them usually think about stirring up trouble. As soon as he made a move, he thought of planting the blame. ”

As soon as she said. All three of them felt justified. Zheng Meng said: "The murderer can use Yuan Liangyu's weapon freely. Able to fight one against three. The force killed Wen Zheng because of Yan Ruzhi. As a result, Chen Er's manager was seriously injured. If you are not a master who is proficient in the use of various blades. It is a person who is good at using soft soldiers on weekdays. According to the information we have. Under the four major stalls in the East Factory Red Dragon system. There are quite a few good hands. There is not a single person like this. It seems that most of the people in the East Factory this time used the ghost fog system. Xiaoqing's expression was surprised: "Ghost fog." Dongchang actually used people from this department to come out and stir up trouble. It can be regarded as a great deal of importance to Juhao Pavilion. Jing Lingyu said: "The eldest grandson smiled late and swaggered excessively. Deserved bad luck. Who cares about him. Uncle Zheng. You don't care about it. My cousin was miserable. Look like this. It seems that no eyebrows have been found yet. Can't you catch a thief for a day? The charge of stealing the record has been made impossible for him to memorize. As soon as the news of what happened to him spread. Who on the rivers and lakes is not red-eyed. One by one, they are like pounced on vicious dogs. Ants swarm. How long can a strong person last? ”

Lord Zheng Meng leisurely held up the snow cup. smiled: "My alliance has no view of the door. As long as the qualifications are appropriate, you can try the sword, join the alliance, and learn excellent swordsmanship. Some of the contents of the Xiujian Hall's transcript have been made public a lot in the upper echelons of the alliance. It's just that the part of the Seven Wheels of the Inner Fruit Path is not perfect. It is very dangerous to practice. That's why the spread is restricted. Only a few great sword protectors will be selected. Step by step. Since the Hundred Swords Alliance has opened this door. Scholars can come openly. We all treat everyone equally. There will be no deviation. With your cousin's skill. Even the Seven Tone Cloud Water Array and the Five Elements Prison Dragon Array couldn't trap it. There are still a few on the rivers and lakes that can be taken. And those who want to rob are not good. But there are also self-inflicted blame for the death and injury. Lone Stone is trapped in the magic realm and can't extricate himself. Take a walk outside. It doesn't hurt either. If you have the opportunity, you can break through the cocoon. Wouldn't it be better? ”

Chang Sihao thought to himself: "When Shen Yuanqi and Cang Shuilan led people to catch Liao Gushi. It's all a dead hand. It can be seen that Zheng Mengzhu's scheming was not revealed to the people below. He tried to stabilize and find out the real thief. He was willing to risk the lives of his allies. It's a bit excessive. Then he thought again: "The people of the rivers and lakes are deceitful. That thief can lurk within the Hundred Swords Alliance. I don't know how detailed my mind is. Zheng Mengzhu doesn't do it very well. It will also be seen as fake. It's the lesser of two evils. The husband is in power. "Rao figured it out. Still some of it is not a taste.

Jing Lingyu also pondered the meaning of Fang Cai's words. Understand that the alliance leader knows the roots. You're covered. It seems that Master Zheng is still a little different from his cousin. It seems that he intends to use this to train him. I was relieved a lot. But he still pouted: "Anyway, except for nothing." I'll come to you if something happens. Master Zheng laughed.

A few people chatted over tea. Little snow stops. Zheng Meng ordered Jing Lingyu to go to the backyard to meet his father. Jing Lingyu was afraid of punishment. Dead or alive refused. Master Zheng asked Xiaoqing to summon Shen Chunan and Yu Xuebing. Tell each other. I went with her. Chang Sihao was getting too late. Seeing that there is nothing to do. He wanted to get up and take his leave. Lord Zheng Meng hurriedly said: "When you get here, you're home." Is there any reason to live outside? If the virtuous nephew is not disgusted, he will be shabby. Just stay. Let's talk about the two of us in bed together. Watch the snow and chat. Have a good chatter. Chang Sihao saw him so enthusiastic. And he agreed.

Lord Zheng took his hand and came to the inner room of the East House. On the ondol. Set up a small square table. Tell Xiaoqing to prepare. A plate of sauced beef, two bowls of millet porridge, a pot of hot wine, and a plate of pickles were brought to the table. Zheng Mengzhu held his chopsticks and smiled: "I didn't prepare in a hurry. It's dark again. There is nowhere to buy vegetables and vegetables. It's all something I eat at home. Don't be too rough with a good nephew. ”

Chang Sihao was originally a person who was used to eating even grass roots and tree bark. How can you care about that? said: "The alliance leader is polite. So there is wine, food, and meat to eat. How to be rough. "Talking about the meat and munching. He lifted the bowl again. Brunched his neck and spun porridge in a circle on the side.

Millet porridge shines golden in the warm light. It exudes heat and rice aroma. When you eat it, there is a faint sweetness in your mouth. He went to Qin's house. The food is full of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. I tasted this millet porridge today. A familiar feeling suddenly warmed up all over the body. The taste of hometown is in my heart. I was filled with emotion for a while.

Xiaoqing saw him sip porridge. Laughing. Chang Sihao's face was slightly red: "This is my habit of drinking porridge." Xiaoqing said: "I'm not laughing at you. You see... "Finger Lead. I saw that at this time, Lord Zheng also picked up the bowl. Blowing hot air. I took a sip in a circle. Meimei swallowed. Xiaoqing smiled: "That's what I'm happy about." Daddy usually drinks porridge. Exactly the same as you. Master Zheng Meng's expression was very satisfied: "It's winter." You can drink a bowl of steaming millet porridge. It doesn't get much more beautiful than this. Xiaoqing covered her mouth and squeezed her eyes at Chang Sihao: "He often said this when he drank the soup." The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, all the food and drink were gone. and Xiaoqing cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Chang Sihao saw that there was no servant in this house. It's always her little kid who is busy serving. I don't want to go. Lord Zheng Meng looked out. Said: "Humble Jing died early. I want to be pure. And he dismissed the servant. Take Xiaoqing to live. On his eighth birthday. This kid has eaten the longevity noodles I cooked. Suddenly, he said to me with a serious look on his face, 'Daddy. I grew up. Let me do the cooking and laundry in the future. When I heard this, I was filled with emotion. But I didn't care too much. It's just that children are talking and playing. I want to wake up the next morning. She made breakfast and waited for me. And after that. She also took care of the housework. For more than two years. Everything is well organized. Alas. Motherless children are sensible early. I'm a father. I don't know where the blessings came from. ”

Xiaoqing sent out the dishes and chopsticks. I turned around and came in and withdrew from the table, and I heard this. His face flushed: "Hmph." I don't feel sorry for you. It's just that what you're cooking is too unpalatable. Zheng Mengzhu brushed the short beard of the mountain character under his chin. With a smile, he said, "I'm afraid not." However, occasionally I forgot to put salt in cooking. There are also yes. Xiaoqing chuckled. Turned and walked out. Zheng Mengzhu turned around on the kang and poked his neck to greet: "It's cold." Boil some hot water to brush the dishes. Don't rely on your little internal strength to resist again. Chilled. Xiaoqing replied in the outhouse: "Got it." Fake concern again. Only in words. But they don't help me. Master Zheng smiled: "Do more housework since childhood." It will be easy to find your in-laws in the future. Xiaoqing smiled and spouted: "Who wants to marry." When I grow up, I want to be like Sister Xiaoyu. Go and be a nun. ”

Chang Sihao listened to her father-daughter conversation interestingly. Shaking his head. Another moment of stunned contemplation. Lord Zheng Meng asked, "Virtuous nephew." What are you thinking. Chang Sihao came back to his senses. Laughing a little embarrassedly: "I was thinking." You are the leader of the Hundred Swords Alliance. It doesn't seem to be true. ”

"Oh. Zheng Mengzhu's expression was puzzled. It's fun again. Ask: "Why?" Chang Sihao said: "I can't say this." I just don't think it's the same as the Hundred Swords Alliance Master I originally imagined. ”

Zheng Mengzhu understood. Laughing: "Hmm." If it is not gray-haired. The face is full of red light. It's not like a sitting doctor. If you don't have a book in your hand. Full of mouths. It's not like a teacher. The profession is like a mold. It cultivates people's habits. It also narrows people's vision. I've always been like this. I didn't think anything was wrong. Actually, the leader of the alliance. It's a logo. It's not much different from woodcutters, carpenters, and teachers. Our league is now full of talents, friends and customers. Good life and prosperity. On talent. Like Director Jing, Chief Luo, and Chief Jiang, they and the swords in the alliance may not be lower than me. We are all like-minded friends. Getting along with each other on weekdays is also very casual. There is little inhibition. If everyone is like a seven-rank official, they put on a straight face. He sat in the hall. When the guests came, they first stiffened their faces and trembled their majesty. Then how can our alliance have today's weather? ”

Chang Sihao was thoughtful. Nodding: "Not bad." I've heard people say that. Those who see the light on all sides are fake heroes. Only those who can be true to themselves can be considered true heroes. Master Zheng smiled: "Cough." What heroes are not heroes. Heroes in people's hearts. Most of them knead what they hear and see with their own imagination. It often doesn't match the real person. As for true colors or not. I'm afraid only the man himself knows. Actually. Alone. It doesn't matter if you don't be a hero or not. But if it is a deceit. Hypocrisy. He also made a living in vain, and became a man, not. ”

These words are close to Chang Sihao's heart. Dasheng agrees. Nodding frequently. Then I remembered something again. "That's right." You once said that reforming the bad and renewing the country and governing the country in peace are only the preliminary aspects of the Jianjia's ambition. Then in the end it will be realized. What exactly. ”
