?Shaozhen is a thief.

When the old thief picked him up, he was a small talent and shrank in the printed cradle, so cold that he couldn't cry. The old thief was still a vicissitudes of life. Although he was a sloppy person, he had a good idea to pay attention to a thief.

The snow in Dezhou blocked the road. The old thief hugged Shaozhen and walked home from the knee-length snow. But at that time, the war in Beiyang was in chaos, and Dezhou's grain was transported from Xiajin to the front line. There was still a little daughter left in his family, and neither of them could fill it. Now, adding another mouthful is like adding insult to injury.

The old thief did not throw away Shao Zhen, but he did not give Shao Zhen his own surname. He squatted at the bridge and listened to the fortune teller that the word "Zhen" is good. If you have a hundred blessings, you will give Shao Zhen the name. Shao Zhen Shao Zhen, Shao Zhen, misfortune and blessings, I wish you a smooth life and a peaceful blessing.

Unexpectedly, Shaozhen was a cold-hearted child and could not stand any blessing. He seemed to have been born with skillful hands and learned the ability to steal quickly, and was not afraid of good or evil. A woman pity him, he would not shed tears, and a villain bullied him, he would not shed tears. This kid seemed to have cried all the tears in the heavy snow that year.

He didn't call the old thief "dad", but he always followed behind, dragging his torn clothes, shouting "thief, eat" without expression.

The old thief was a veteran. According to his own telling Shaozhen, when Jinghou was alive, he followed him and fought all the way to Wanze, Dayuan. Unfortunately, the Marquis Jinghou died after passing Canaan Mountain. The Beiyang army was divided. He was not in the Sanjin of Beiyang. He could not receive the imperial court's rewards and grain, so he could only return to Dezhou. However, he had not stayed for a few years. His wife died, and with her stupid daughter, she dragged Shaozhen, who had only grown teeth, and went to Qingping. Those who wanted to recommend him to work for him went back on their word, took the silver from others, and kicked his name.

The old thief became an old thief.

Shao Zhen often woke up in the broken house, listening to the old thief choking against the wall at night. There was a tablet in the broken house. He choked while covering his face and chanting intermittently: "I am betrayed Beiyang... I am now for the thief... I call me a lonely ghost after my death... I can't stand my old friend on the battlefield..."

Shao Zhen turned over, blocked the leaking air mouth, closed his eyes as if he could not hear it. The choking sound was swallowed quietly, and it had been tangled for several years.

One day it suddenly disappeared.

The silly girl was deceived by candied haws, and the old thief chased her for dozens of miles, but she had already disappeared. Shaozhen followed him all the way, and the old man fell to the ground and got up again. He even had time to keep Shaozhen, but he disappeared.

Shaozhen held the tablet and lived in a dilapidated temple. Since then, he was alone and unconscious. He ate every day when he could steal it, and hungry if he couldn't steal it. People came and went on the street, with rich people and poor. He followed the old thief, occasionally woke up kindly, and gave the little beggars on the roadside a bite of leftovers. If life continues like this, he will be rotten in the mud for the rest of his life. He was alone in the first few years, and he heard the whimper at night, and was stunned for a while before he could remember that the old thief was now presented to the table.

He has never dealt with this same age as Changhe Town, except Xiao Banzhang from Rongcheng Noodle Restaurant is an alien.

Rongyang is a little fool, and everyone he knows says this. He is the only one in his family. Rong Dad holds him in his palm, and he puts a copper coins in his pocket every day, so he can spend it. But Rongyang is not greedy or playful, he is greedy for books. He often squats in front of the old book stall, squatting all day, and his face almost sticks to his book to read. He saves money to buy books, and when he meets someone who is kind, he can even read without food or drink. It is easy to cheat, and anyone who comes to him and crys will be able to take out the money. His eyes are not good, and most of them don’t know that the people who cheated him in front of him for so many years have been taking turns.

Shaozhen deceived him once.

Rong Yang put the copper coin in the palm of Shao Zhen. Shao Zhen's palm was still dirty, and his white fingers were like clouds. Rong Yang's white fingers were neatly arranged, put his hands together, and said with bent eyes: "Don't cry... just take them all."

Shao Zhen was so angry that he evaded the edges and thrust his hand, and he didn't even want copper coins.

Rongyang can write and write books. He can re-cook the broken noodles found in the old stalls. He can re-cook the famous ones on a stack of codes, and it looks great if you look at them. Shaozhen thinks he is powerful, but he thinks Shaozhen is even more powerful. He can swallow a bun in one mouthful and knock down a kid with one punch.

Rongyang taught Shaozhen to learn to read. In this quagmire, he pulled Shaozhen upwards. This pull was fate, this pull was life. Shaozhen had no relatives and brothers. Many years later, among the people who were still alive, only Rongyang could be as heavy as money in his heart.

This is a reverse scale.

Whoever dares to touch Rongyang will dare to take his life. Not only does this matter for him, but this matter for Su Zhou, Pu Cheng, and their family.

Zhao Zhian was lucky and was hit.

Zhao Zhian started the meal at Xiaoxiao Building. He was now promoted to the Zuosi Cheng of Dali Temple. He was proud, as if the luck had come. Half of the wine was blown open, and Shao Zhen didn't even change his official uniform. He threw a piece of "Taiming Shanxia Lun" on his face, took off his robe with his backhand, and beat him up on his head. The people who had not swallowed the wine were stunned and rushed to pull it out in panic, not knowing why.

Zhao Zhian's teeth were smashed off. He covered his mouth and was held by someone. He pointed at Shao Zhen and cursed vaguely: "Shao Zhen! Take care of others! I haven't revealed your true feelings yet! What's your reason!"

Shao Zhen took off his outer robe and was slapping his collar. He heard this and threw away the person behind him, and threw a porcelain pot at the table, which made everyone in the room tremble. He said, "I don't know what I am." He said, "You Zhao Zhian are good methods, I will take a look today. Should I stand firmly, or do you Zhao Zhian have a good life!" He looked ruthless: "This matter is not over!"

On the other hand, it was not easy for Zhong Xie to go back to the mansion. Before the person touched the pillow, someone came to inform him that the young master who had just made a new debut hit Zuosi Cheng, Lord Zhao, in Xiaoxiaolou. Zhong Xie only got some clues under his hands. He knew that Shao Zhen was so angry that he could not defeat Zhao Shurong now. If this matter came to Huiyang Hou, it would probably be Shao Zhen who was punished.

Shao Zhen is half a student, so he has to go and see. This kid is so angry that he can't wait for the capital to be beaten, so he will teach him a lesson this time.

When Zhong Xie lifted his robe and entered the Beijing Guards, he saw Hou Xiao Jin, Huiyang, listening to Zhao Zhian's mouth and spitting everywhere. He stood behind and raised his hand and bowed. When he looked up, he saw Senator Liu of the Secretariat, who had not yet left the house. This was Zhao Zhian's commander, and even the people from the Imperial Hospital were invited. On the other hand, Hou Ke was inconvenient to come, so there was only Zhong He.

Although Zhong Xie is demoted to Qingping and is mixed in the Censorate of the Execution Department, everyone can see that this person has been banned from smoking and the emperor intends to use him. Who will make the decision in the future? This person has a lot of momentum.

Senator Liu is considered a friend of Changlehou and an old friend of Zhao Shurong, the father of Zhao Zhian. It is not surprising that he met Zhong Xie. Everyone knows that Zhong Baiou and Zhong Ruchen have a good relationship, so it is reasonable to see Zhong Baiou’s students.

Zhong Xie raised his hand and bowed, yawned with his sleeves, stood on the side, and asked Zhong He: "Where is this?"

Zhong He smiled bitterly: "I was taken by the Jingwei, otherwise Zhao Zhian would have been pressed to the ground now."

Zhong Xie said, "It should be given a lesson." After a moment, he was a little unhappy and frowned slightly, "Isn't it possible to stop Jingwei? What a big deal to do? The Marquis's matter is not very reliable."

"If you beat someone else in this matter, the Marquis will have to scold you, let alone the one who beats Zuo's student now." Zhong He looked serious: "I see that Lord Zhao has remembered it this time, and I want to make it a reality."

What can I do to find? It’s nothing more than a vacancies in Dali Temple, which was occupied by this homeless and unscrupulous boy, and took the opportunity to kick Zhao Zhian clean and leave a way out.

Zhong Xie's hand slid out, and the man stood up straight. He said, "Is this unreasonable? Did Zhizhi hit him for no reason? If Zhao Shurong really wants to protect his son, he should clamp his tail and be a good person now." After he said that, he paused and said in a deep voice: "Brother must not know that Zhizhi hit him because of the man's inappropriate mind and bad character. He stole Rong Yang's article. He got Zuo's eyes and turned around and kicked Rong Yang to Jingjian. Rong Yang was waiting for Jingjian now, without caring about this matter, and he never mentioned Zhizhi. Now Zhizhi knows it himself, and beat him up is light."

Zhong He was shocked: "What are you talking about "Taiming Mountain Xia Lu"?"

"More than that." Zhong Xie was not a lingering person. He sneered today, "I was in Qingping to check the private goods of smoke and corn in Yanxi. This person - Wuhan Zhao's family is not clean. Now it's not easy to move after Changlehou. I was thinking about it and cleaned up, but he was so brave that he started to make trouble first."

After the incident, Zhong He also frowned: "Now that the smoking ban is in progress, the private goods are not stopped, and the emperor has brought it up several times. If the Zhao family really touched something..."

It is about to search the house.

Before the two of them could finish their whispers, Zhao Zhian stopped. Senator Liu led the way, meaning that Shaozhen was not as good as Dali Temple, so he didn't need to punish the Beijing Weishi. He would give him a memorial, so he might as well give him a message.

Zhong Xie said: "It makes sense. But Lord Liu, Shao Zhen was appointed by the emperor on that day. Now even if you want to avoid it, the emperor has the final say. The boy is young and energetic, and he will make a move... make friends." He looked at Zhao Zhian, without laughing, and said bluntly: "If Lord Xiao Zhao can't get over it, then the official kowtows to you to apologize?"

Zhao Zhian's face turned pale and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhong has ruined me... How can this be?" He didn't expect that Zhong Xie would protect himself so much that he didn't even give Zuo Kaizhi's face, so he had to say, "I'm not happy... I'll give in from now on."

Oh yo.

Zhong Xie raised his eyebrows lazily: "It sounds interesting."

Or are we so unreasonable? This boy Zhao is so thick-faced!

"Ruchen." Zuo Kaizhi called Zhong Xie: "Young friends are happy with right and wrong, so let them go. However, Zhian has always been at peace with himself, and I don't know where to make the young master unhappy?"

Zhong Xie didn't want to pick up the right and wrong today, but he saw Shao Zhen hanging his outer robe, standing outside the door with the wind blowing, and no one of his grandsons sneak attacks on his waist. He turned his head and said sharply: "I heard that Xiao Zhao is very talented and admired him, so I found a few articles. I saw that he looked familiar. I asked Xiao Zhao, "Would you take "Taiming Shanxia Lu" steadily?"

How could Zhao Zhian respond? He immediately said: "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here. Everyone in Taiming Mountain knew that I made this statement that day... If someone took it... and said it was written by himself, it would be difficult for me to pursue it. This article in the world is copied... and then I saw someone imitating it."

Zhong Xie stepped forward, came to him, and asked again slowly: "Can you take "Taiming Shanxia Theory" steadily?"

"Mr. Zhong." Senator Liu was separated, "If there is any doubt about this matter, let's talk about it again."

"Mr. Liu doesn't know." Zhong Xie smiled and said, "This matter should not be discussed by me today, just because the other person Xiao Zhao said was not someone else, but a student of He Anchang, Jingmin. When Lord He came in person, I am afraid that it would not be discussed in the Beijing Weishi Department, but a discussion in front of the saint. Today I ask, if it is really a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be avoiding the confrontation in the future?"

"Such a student." Zuo Kaizhi was slightly stunned: "Yes..."

"It was a few days ago that Rongyang Rongsui'an, who advocated the revival of the academy north of the Changhe River." Zhong Xie finally added a thunderclap, "The two teachers of this son are Canglang Zhong Baiou and the other are Jingju He Ruxu. Are they imitating and cheating? Let's invite the Hanlin Academy to take a look, and you'll see what you know?" He lowered his sleeves and humble: "It happened that I'm not idle recently, so I'll go for Lord Xiao Zhao and ask this "imitation". If you have time, don't miss it."

Zhao Zhian trembled all over and forced herself to say, "That's...it should be."

Zhong Xie took Shaozhen back.

The two of them walked on the street one by one, and then the Flower Street was bustling with no one on the road. Zhong Xie took a few steps, turned around, and reached out to take Shaozhen's outer robe with his arm hanging.

"The robe of Dali Temple was just like a rag on the head of a dull person." Zhong Xie shook his robe, "You are so powerful, but fame and fortune are nothing but Is it?"

Shaozhen didn't say anything. It wasn't too vain for the boy to stay in Beijing for so long. Zhong Xie looked at him and said, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the house." Shao Zhen said lightly: "Where are you going back?"

"I'm guarding my ancestors." Zhong Xie didn't laugh, shook his outer robe and then folded it on his arm, and said solemnly: "Does this young master still think he is very powerful? He stole Rong Yang's article, and you rushed up to beat someone up when you were hot. To drive someone to do it tomorrow, if you splash dirty water, Rong Yang would have to beside him."

"You can't speak clearly." Shao Zhen raised his eyes, "It's the least, not the only one."

"...Just." Zhong Xie coughed dryly: "I'm in Beijing now. I'm not here next time. What should you do? I'll kill the person three miles away?"

"Zhong Ruchen." Shaozhen gradually picked up his chest, "You haven't grown up in the past few years. I beat him up to be happy, not hot." His lips condensed, "His bottom, my senior brother has already figured out his side. I'll wait for you to come back today to pick out this matter. If Rong Yang doesn't mention it, Lord He probably doesn't know. When his side starts to make trouble, Zhao Zhian should have a lot of children and grandchildren." He pulled back his robe, raised his hand and put it on, and said to Zhong Xie: "Let's go back to the house, I can't touch the things my senior brother gave me, I have to hand it over to you. Xu Hang can't stop smoking, and the senior brother checked the private business. Just when he was at Wuhan, Zhao Shurong and Changlehou could not escape."

"No..." Zhong Xie followed behind and gradually narrowed his eyes, "You guys know long ago?"

"Senior brother knows first." Shao Zhen tied the buttons, "He still remembered that Zhao Zhian smoked millet and looked deeper and really touched the things. At first, he didn't tell us, and he kept getting enough stuff to vent my breath. I kept holding it in." As he said that, he looked at Zhong Xie, "You're back late this time."

"You haven't taken me back in the past years." Zhong Xie sighed: "I don't have a conscience... I remember Rongyang."

"Ah." Shao Zhen glanced at him, "I still remember Rong Yang."

Zhong Xie had no choice but to ask Shaozhen again: "What does your senior brother mean? After checking this, I will hand it over and let someone copy it clean?"

"Zhao Zhian will not die. I have been following Lord Zuo for several years. The old man must be in love. What I mean is..." Shao Zhen was cold and cold. "Send Jingjian to the point where he is waiting to clean up. It's too easy to chop him up. Rongyang walked over thousands of miles in the snow back then." He pointed to himself: "I will be revenge."

Zhong Xie raised his eyebrows, "Then it's not my responsibility. I'll just hand over the case. I have to see you Dali Temple later. Young Master, that's great." He relied on his height and rubbed Shao Zhen's hair, "I've grown a lot."

Shao Zhen tilted his head and said, "Don't rub it, it's blocking his eyes."

"I can't fall you." Zhong Xie rubbed it hard, "I borrow a shop tonight, and my house hasn't been hot yet."

"Such a big person..."

“Not borrowing?”

"...Don't kick people tonight." Shao Zhen frowned: "Don't snore, don't squeeze me."

"It's really my ancestor." Zhong Xie raised his hand and respectfully said, "Okay, I'll sleep on the edge of the bed."

The two walked together next to each other, with the lantern slanting shadows, walking along the way... A road. The two shadows gradually overlapped, and it was hard to tell which one was Zhong Ruchen and which one was the least. Well, it was always the same way, and no one avoided each other, so why bother to be too clear?

"Shaozhen, blessings are coming."

It was snowing heavily, and the old thief leaned over and picked up the swaddle clothes and coaxed it into his arms. The baby, whose cheeks were so cold that his cheeks turned blue, gradually slowly turned back to his face, listening to "Blessings are the best."
