Shen Ze'an was ashamed. A bandit hunter could make the young couple think of what was hidden behind their backs. However, he didn't realize it until the two of them suggested it. Only then did he admit that he was really good at making the young master surrender.

place.

"What are your next plans?" In fact, Shen Ze'an didn't understand why the two of them still stayed in Duanyang. Logically speaking, they and his wife had reached an agreement, but they still didn't know the direction of the Cheng family in a short period of time.

Maybe go with them.

A tacit understanding between them is the best outcome for them and their wife.

"We still have some things to do." Qin Feng said slowly and calmly: "Mr. Shen, just keep everything as usual. It is inconvenient for the two of us to disturb you anymore, and we will not inform you when we leave. Please forgive me."

This meant that he wanted to distance himself from them. Shen Ze'an was also a happy person, so he parted ways with them on the street in front of him. From then on, he no longer interfered with everything they did in Duanyang, and went back to be Cheng Ansu's husband with peace of mind.

Besides, Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao walked around for a while before returning to their temporary residence in Duanyang. When they entered the house, they saw a familiar figure - Cao Jing, who had rushed back after a long journey.

Cao Jing had already sent the drawings back to Kuya and handed everything over to Rong Ying'an. When he came back, Rong Ying'an had already led people to start treating the drought and did not dare to delay at all. After he came back, he also conveniently handed over another

The matter was explained.

It's just that he was very thirsty now. He didn't have time to say anything. He even drank a few cups of tea before he handed over his hand and said: "The things that the young master told me have been done. Then Zheng Tong's life and origins have also been found out clearly. There is only one son in this family."

A widowed mother suffering from eye disease."

"In addition, Zheng Tong was able to become an official, and Li Shanzhao was kind to him. The two were distant relatives. Zheng Tong had no traveling expenses for the scientific examination. Li Shanzhao once donated five taels of silver," Cao Jing said: "The five taels of silver were returned, but this

Well, Li Shanzhao always repays kindness with kindness."

How shameless! Zheng Tong was Li Shanzhao's junior. When he took the scientific examination, Li Shanzhao had already received his salary from the court. Five taels of silver was just dregs leaking from the fingers of Li Shanzhao, but it was indeed a favor and worth remembering.

live.

But not only did Zheng Tong repay the money, he had been suppressed by Li Shanzhao in these years, and his official career was no longer prosperous. I am afraid that Zheng Tong was responsible for many of the political achievements in Southwest China, but Li Shanzhao took the credit for them.

As Zheng Tong, who knew the situation here thoroughly, Li Shanzhao was probably frightened when he saw him and Song Qingming coming and going together. He was worried that Zheng Tong would seek refuge with Song Qingming and leak out his details. This person could suppress bandits.

What will happen to Zheng Tong?

Not only did he need someone like No. 1, he was someone whom Song Qingming admired, and Qin Feng wanted to keep him.

Cao Jing saw Qin Feng's thoughts and said: "Before Xiao Xiao came over, he had asked someone to relocate Zheng Tong's mother. He used the banner of Zheng Tong's former classmate and said that Zheng Tong would not be able to return home in a short time, so he sent

Someone came to take care of her."

If Li Shanzhao wanted to use Zheng Tong's mother to threaten him, he can't do it now!

As expected of Cao Jing, he took care of Zheng Tong's weak points first. Qin Feng thought of Zheng Tong who was now with Song Qingming, and his heart temporarily relaxed, but Xiao Lingyao shook his head and said: "The people in the officialdom are deeply scheming, and their attacks are even more vicious.

Song Qingming cannot protect him."

Qin Feng's heart was raised again. Xiao Lingyao tapped his finger and said seriously: "Brother Cao Jing, send two good secret guards from the nearest place. It's best to sneak in with Zheng Tong and protect his safety secretly."

Cao Jing took the order and left. Qin Feng laughed at himself: "I didn't predict the viciousness of people in the officialdom enough, right or wrong?"

"In order to protect themselves, there are many people who sacrifice their families. Not to mention distant relatives who have been turned into tools. Although Rou Ji is around Song Qingming, she is also ruthless, but she is a female family member after all and cannot follow Song Qingming.

Side."

Xiao Lingyao said: "You two cherish your talents, so you should protect Zheng Tong at all costs. If Li Shanzhao is really cruel to him, it will be a good thing for us. There is a lack of useful people under his command, and the more ruthless Li Shanzhao is, the more ruthless Li Shanzhao will be.

The more opportunities we have.”

Zheng Tong left aside, there is one more thing at the moment, Qin Feng whispered in Xiao Lingyao's ear, Xiao Lingyao sneered: "Just now you thought about yourself and said that you don't think people's hearts are deep enough, I think you have become a spirit!"

The two looked at each other and smiled. They didn't expect that the trip to the southwest would have such results. If this thing also happens, it will be a big gain!

Besides, Ah Chen, who was hiding in the mountains, waited for the news of the bandit suppression in the city as he wished. Hearing this, his whole body went cold. He didn't expect that his elder brother and the others' guess would be verified so quickly. Magistrate Dog and the others really wanted to suppress the bandits.

Forget cooperation!

"Brother, there is a commotion in Duanyang City right now. Officers and soldiers have been patrolling the streets. Not only that, they are also mobilizing troops."

The brother who inquired about the news said: "The Magistrate of Nagou County also issued a reward order, saying that there is a reward of ten taels of silver for the people who provide clues. This man died for money, and the bird died for food. There are many people in the city who recognize us.

The situation is not right, let’s run away!”

"Escape? Where to escape?" Ah Chen suddenly thought of Long Qi, and couldn't help but regret that he should have hugged the elder brother's leg more quickly. Now he wants to find him, but he has already left!

"The number of officers and soldiers outside will only get bigger and bigger. We have been running rampant here for several years, and there are many people who know us. Don't look at those who usually shrink from us. Now the bandits are suppressing them and they are eager to put us to death. Now go out and take risks.

Big.”M.

"Why don't you defect to a big mountain?" A brother said: "The mountain of Chen Mazi in Jiujiu Mountain is the largest and has the most people under his command. The government failed to capture them even after several encirclement and suppression campaigns."

"Spit!" Someone spat fiercely: "Chen Mazi is a person who doesn't even let go of old, young, women and children. How can we associate with such a person? Didn't we agree at the beginning that we only want to make money and not harm anyone?"

life?"

Everyone agreed one after another. Even if they were desperate, giving up their original idea and joining the mountains would be a slap in the face. Besides, they were now their own masters. Once they defected to others, they would have to rely on others. How could they be happy?

For a moment, they only felt that their road was getting narrower and narrower, either on the left or on the right. Ah Chen thought of Long Qi, who named himself Long Qi, and said resolutely: "I will disguise myself and go to the lower city. You guys wait here, go anywhere first."

Don’t go.”

Entering the city now is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. Just as the brothers were about to object, voices suddenly sounded outside. For a moment, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Ah Chen signaled everyone to be silent and cautiously walked out of the cave. He saw a figure flash past.

He suddenly punched!
