The little girl said'Miss Ding's.' Zhou Zheng immediately knew who was looking for him, and said, "Take me."
The little girl quietly glanced around, leading Zhou Zheng to a corner not far away.
Miss Ding Jia stood in the corner, her expression seemed calm, but her eyes hesitated and hesitated.
Zhou Zheng came to the front, took a look, and said, "Sister-in-law."
He and this undocumented sister-in-law had met once before, and they recognized them.
Miss Ding is not as shy as an ordinary woman. Looking at Zhou Zheng, she reluctantly smiled and said: "I'm looking for you, will you be offended?"
The relationship between the Ding family and the Zhou family is now a bit stiff. The master of the Ding family insists on repenting the marriage, and Miss Ding is in an embarrassing situation.
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "It's nothing strange, my sister-in-law has something to do with me?"
Miss Ding looked at Zhou Zheng, then carefully glanced around, took a step further, and whispered: "I heard my mother say, do you and Hengping know a Mr. Jinghu?"
Zhou Zheng was startled and said: "Sister-in-law... How did Aunt Ding know? Why did the sister-in-law ask this?"
Ms. Ding looked around again and whispered: "I heard my mother say that my father respects Mr. Jinghu very much. If so, if he comes forward, my father might change his mind."
Zhou Zheng understood the purpose of Ms. Ding's coming, so he thought about it seriously, and said, "Okay, I'll find a way."
Ms. Ding showed a little smile on her face, she seemed to be completely relieved after speaking, and explained with some guilty conscience: "I and Hengping are not young anymore, my father, what I did is wrong."
After all, it's just that you two are affectionate and righteous, reluctant to let go.
Zhou Zheng smiled inwardly, and said as usual: "Well, I want a safe way."
Ms. Ding took a serious look at Zhou Zheng. Just when she wanted to say something, her maid walked over quickly and said, "Miss, madam is out."
Miss Ding hurriedly said to Zhou Zheng: "I'm leaving now, don't tell your eldest brother about this."
After speaking, she hurried away, apparently she ran out by stealth.
Zhou Zheng looked at her back and nodded. This sister-in-law is good.
Zhou Zheng went back to Zhou Ji and thought about this. Han Cheng's face was not so good, so he had to think of a safe way.
Before Zhou Zheng wanted to understand, another unexpected guest came.
Hu Qingzheng sat opposite Zhou Zheng, his small eyes blinking nonstop.
Zhou Zheng poured him a cup of tea and said: "The Zhang Guoji matter is over, why are you still embarrassed?"
Zhang Guoji was exempted from the nobility last month and sent back to his hometown. The dust has settled. Hu Qingzheng shouldn't have to continue to pretend to be sick.
Hu Qingzheng sighed, looking helpless, and said, "The above is for you to go back."
"Let me go back? What happened?" Zhou Zheng was a little confused. He is a troublesome figure for the Metropolitan Police Office, and he will not be asked to go back if he is fine.
Hu Qingzheng sighed again and said: "It's nothing, it seems that the new director has taken office and wants to reform the management of officials."
The new director, the newly appointed Superintendent's Zuo Du Yushi, Cao Sicheng.
Zhou Zheng understood a little, and then asked, "Is there anything happening in the Metropolitan Procuratorate recently?"
Hu Qingzheng, the chief official of Zhejiang Dao, was very tired. He was not as leisurely as before, eating and waiting to die. Listening to Zhou Zheng's words, he reluctantly thought about it, and said: "The imperial court invaded Ningjin and the court was a little confused , I heard that Wang Zhichen, a minister of the Ministry of War, was recently impeached very badly. The Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been writing memos to impeach him all day.
Zhou Zheng frowned, and said, "Impeach the king's minister, why?"
Wang Zhichen is the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, just a few days after he took office? Moreover, under the circumstances of such a big battle in Liaodong, someone actually publicly impeached him, and it sounds like the momentum is not small.
Hu Qingzheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it is said that Wang Zhichen is going to resign."
"The minister of the king wants to resign?" Zhou Zheng looked slightly surprised, and the minister of the king of the military department wanted to resign
He is the Book of War! How can you resign at this time!
Zhou Zheng still remembered that Wang Zhichen told him in the Ministry of War the five nos of "no party, no fear, no resignation, no hiding, no letting", so he resigned
Hu Qingzheng looked up at him and said with an innocent look: "If he doesn't hesitate, I'm afraid it will be messier and more troublesome."
If Zhou Zheng suddenly realized that, no matter why those people suddenly impeached the king's minister, if the king's minister insisted on not leaving at this time, it would only get worse and worse, and it would affect the situation of the Liaodong war.
Wang Zhichen's five nos are completely infeasible at this time.
Aside from this, Zhou Zheng thought about some things around him, Zhou Ji was already on the right track, and Jiujiang Pavilion had a rudimentary shape, and he didn't need to stare at it all the time.
However, Zhou Zheng didn't want to get involved in the party dispute again. He looked at Hu Qingzheng and said, "My sick leave has not yet expired. I will talk about it when it expires."
Hu Qingzheng didn't mean to force Zhou Zheng. It was probably a notice. He rubbed his face and said, "I plan to resign."
Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "Are you going to resign?"
Although Hu Qingzheng is not an official fan, it should be extremely difficult for him to resign.
Hu Qingzheng did not know how many times he sighed. He even squatted on the table and said: "There is no way to stop, the court is a cannibalistic place."
Zhou Zheng didn't know what happened to Hu Qingzheng, but he nodded and said, "Then let go."
Hu Qingzheng raised his head and glanced at Zhou Zheng, full of resentment.
Zhou Zheng was numbed by the scalp he saw, and hurriedly drove him away.
The battle in Liaodong was urgent, and there was no idleness in the capital.
Zhou Zheng still stayed away, busy with his affairs on his own.
Zhou Zheng ran to Han Cheng's mansion when he was fine, asking for teaching and discussing various books.
Han Cheng did not avoid seeing him, chatting with Zhou Zheng, and had slightly different opinions and ideas about the content of some books, which made Han Cheng very strange.
After many days, Han Cheng joined the "Shu Han Zhi" brought by last week, and said with a smile: "The book writers have their own ideas, but the observers are different. Just like you said, a hundred people read the same book, and they will get different things. Whether Liu Bei is a great loyalist or a big traitor, whether Liu Chan is stupid or smart, the benevolent sees benevolence."
Zhou Zhengdao: "Time is changing, and the text does not fade, but the angle is always changing. Even the various annotations of the sage classics are not the same. The students believe that the book is for people to read, but it is not the golden rule of doing things. "
Daming's current style of exaggeration is very heavy, so he can talk about the classics and not pragmatic.
Han Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "You have come to me every day these days, isn't it all for asking for instruction?"
Zhou Zheng looked respectful, and said: "Don't hide it from your husband, the student wants to ask his husband to protect a marriage, but he doesn't know how to speak."
Han Cheng was taken aback and asked him to be named Li. This was the first time that he was married.
"Which girl is it?" Han Cheng asked with some interest.
Zhou Zhengdao: "It's not a student, but the elder brother of the student."
Zhou Zheng explained the affairs of Zhou Fang and Miss Ding Jia slowly, without adding any oil and jealousy, and also talked about the difficulties of Ding Jia.
After listening, Han Cheng smiled and said, "It turns out that a gentleman has the beauty of adulthood. I will see Master Ding the next day. If he can sell me a bit of noodles, it would be considered a merit."
Zhou Zheng didn't expect Han Cheng to agree so easily, and immediately raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr."
Han Cheng waved his hand and said, "With these orphans you are looking for, I have to help with this favor."
Zhou Zheng really didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so thank you in a hurry.
Han Cheng looked at Zhou Zheng, only smiling.
If those who are named as Lee come to him, they won't even be able to get in. But this week Zhengyun is an exception. Although he has some goals, he is not so utilitarian.
Zhou Zheng left the Han mansion very happily. Han Cheng agreed. The Ding family probably won't continue to insist on repenting their marriage, which is regarded as removing a piece of the heart disease of all Zhou family.
"Go back at night and tell Father Zhou."
When Zhou Zheng said to himself, he turned to Zhou Ji.
Zhou was on his second floor, reading books and practicing calligraphy, and he was at ease.
The tension in the capital is getting stronger and stronger. Jianlu has besieged Jinzhou. Ningyuan has been besieging Jinzhou for more than ten days.
Shanhaiguan has already closed its doors tightly and is waiting for it.
The soldiers and horses in the capital moved back and forth, filled with murderous air.
The capital is not as lively as it used to be, and everyone seems to be filled with worry.
In the evening, before Zhou Zheng went back to the house, he was stopped by Wei Xizhuang and dragged him to a small restaurant for a drink.
Zhou Zheng looked at his agitated expression and said, "What's the matter?"
Naturally, Wei Xizhuang didn't look like this because he was worried about Liaodong.
He took a sip of wine and said, "I just came out of Chitose Mansion. I heard that Nine Chitose is going to send some people to Shanhaiguan, and there is me."
Zhou Zheng raised his brows. What did Wei Zhongxian send to Shanhaiguan at this time
"Why?" Zhou Zheng asked closely.
Wei Xizhuang glanced at him and said, "Transport equipment, grain and grass."
Zhou Zhengruo had a real enlightenment, got closer, and said, "Just in case?"
If Ning Jin falls, then Shanhaiguan will be Daming's last line of defense, and it must be defended anyway. This is Wei Zhongxian's meaning, and I am afraid it is also the meaning of the imperial court.
Wei Xizhuang was taken aback, unexpectedly Zhou Zheng could guess, nodded, and said: "We escort Huo Weihua."
Huo Weihua, Zuo Attendant of the Ministry of War. It is not a minister of the Shangshu King of the Ministry of War.
Zhou Zheng didn't want to go into the nasty thing here, and asked: "What are you worried about?"
If it is to escort Huo Weihua to preside over the overall situation of Shanhaiguan, then Wei Xizhuang is just an escort, so what is he worried about
Wei Xizhuang hesitated for a while, and said, "I heard that some people might be killed."
Zhou Zheng looked at Wei Xizhuang and understood.
After all, Wei Xizhuang was still the little peasant who rose up suddenly. He was not used to and didn't like the intrigue of the court. He had an instinctive fear of murder, and maybe there were people close to him.
Zhou Zheng thought for a while, and said, "Ning Jin should have no problem. It won't really get trapped in Shanhaiguan, so don't worry."
Wei Xizhuang was startled, and said with some surprise: "Really?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "Governor Yuan has been preparing for so long and has received news in advance that he could hold on last time, but there is no reason why he could not hold on this time."
Wei Xizhuang looked at Zhou Zheng, seemingly inspired, put down the wine glass in his hand, let out a long sigh, and said, "I am relieved with your words. By the way, give me fifty thousand taels of silver. I will take it with me. Shanhaiguan."
Zhou Zheng is not short of silver now, and said: "Okay, I will let Chengjiu prepare for you. By the way, how many dark guards do you have now?"
Wei Xizhuang said: "Not many, dozens of them, all belong to Menghe Prefecture."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "We can't get in touch with Shenyang. When the war is over, we have to find a way to get in touch."
Wei Xizhuang hummed, and said, "I will find a way after I get to Shanhaiguan, are there other things?"
Zhou Zheng originally wanted to contact some Xiyi people, but the conditions were not enough. He thought about it and said, "No, you should be careful recently. Don't do things that are out of the ordinary and hide them."
Wei Xizhuang was a little unclear about this, but Zhou Zheng didn't explain it either. (End of this chapter)
