The long sword was on the side of the neck, and Lin Zheng's eyes were cold. The businessman believed that only if he dared to lie, he would definitely be chopped off with one knife.

He wanted to lie, but the Ming army had tied their ship behind a treasure ship, which was obviously not going to let them leave.

He was worried that he would be exposed!

So he bowed his head.

"Sir, I've seen three ships in a vague way, but I didn't see clearly. We are hiding from them."

At this time, he was very calm: "There are pirates here. Those natives rowed small boats to intercept us, and then used poisonous arrows... Although they rarely succeeded, it was a threat after all."

Yes, they were afraid to see ships outside the Ming fleet, because they were mostly pirates.

"This sea area belongs to the Ming Dynasty. When we saw that the three ships looked wrong, we didn't dare to lean over, so we hurriedly hid."

“How long has it been?”

Lin Zheng asked with the last hope.

The merchant said, and changed the unit and said, "It's been almost two hours now."

"grown ups!"

The deputy general said: "Including the round trip, it will be four hours. If we chase it again, there will be no news on the fleet!"

Lin Zheng was pondering, and Shaoqing said, "Send a boat back to report the news, let's continue chasing!"

...

It is not a good idea to celebrate the New Year at sea, at least there is no barbecue for warships, and no big meals.

So the three years of Xuande passed silently.

When Fang Xing was talking about spring, potatoes were also looking forward to spring.

Spring in Peking will come very late.

The snow in Fangjiazhuang is still there. Zhang Shuhui went to the palace to see the queen early in the morning, and the Fang family respected potatoes.

He did not go to class, but studied at home.

He is the only one in the entire academy who has this privilege and no one can argue with it.

Fangjiazhuang is very quiet. There is nothing wrong with the village now. The merchants are idle at home, which means they are in charge of livestock and children who have not gone to school.

It is a tradition to eat thin foods when you are free and dry foods when you are busy, but now Fangjiazhuang is not that cold.

Several old men were walking in the snow-covered fields with oil cakes, happily feeling the good omen of a good harvest next year.

"The daughter-in-law at home is getting more and more aware of being in charge. She makes oil cakes early in the morning, hey!"

An old man sighed, but his eyebrows were full of swearing.

Another old man also said with a smile: "Where were oil cakes in this season? Thin porridge had to be available at noon. Alas! Thinking of the days back then, it felt like I had a sleep."

The old man swallowed the oil cake in his mouth and said, "Who said no? Think about it, if it weren't for the master, how could we have such a good life? The people of the Ming Dynasty would not have a good life!"

"That's right, the potatoes found by the master have no potatoes, so we have to count them to cook now!"

The three old men sighed when they talked about Fang Xing. When they saw a horse rushing into the farm, they couldn't help but get angry.

"Who is so bold? He actually dares to attack our Fangjiazhuang!"

When the three of them saw that they were servants, they were a little panicked.

After Fang Xing left, Zhang Shuhui was in charge of the Fang family, and Tudou also helped to be half of the home.

The rules have always been there. If there is no emergency, no one can run wildly in the farm.

"What's wrong?"

...

"Master, my wife was stopped by an official outside the imperial city, and the man scolded her."

Tudou was reading a book. When he heard this, he threw down the physics book in his hand, stood up suddenly, and asked, "Who is that person?"

Fang Liu said: "It's Zhou Dian of the Ministry of Personnel."

Tudou said with a cold face: "Call people immediately and follow me!"

Tudou changed into clothes and hurried to the front yard.

Huang Zhong was already waiting.

"Mr. Huang, of the Ministry of Personnel, talk about it."

Huang Zhong instantly called out the information about this person and said, "He is going to the Ministry of Personnel. Jian Yi has been adjusting the personnel affairs of the Ministry of Personnel recently, so he has not arranged his affairs. But he is a sixth rank... He must give a real defect... The eldest son, but did he anger our family?"

Tudou said, "He blocked my mother before, and then said that my mother was ridiculous!"

Seeing that the servants were already leading the horse, Huang Zhong said hurriedly: "This matter is probably related to the recent atmosphere in the palace. Concubine Sun was very obedient and showed weakness. At this time, some people said that the wife and the queen colluded with each other, which was Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, intended for Pei Gong, and implying that the queen was looking for foreign aid."

Tudou bowed to his teachings and said, "No matter how he is, my mother is humiliated, but I can't stand it as a son. I also asked Mr. Huang to take good care of the family, so I'll go."

Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, it's just the eldest son, please be careful."

Tudou said, "Yes, Concubine Sun is hiding at the moment. I think Zhou Dian might just want to get a favor and take a quizzes, so just go to his place."

"good!"

Huang Zhong felt relieved when Tudou left, and after Tudou left, he asked someone to tell Xiaobai that he only said nothing was wrong.

Later, the news also passed to Xie Jin in the academy.

"That's a death!"

...

Potato rarely has such moments when she is wearing a bright clothes and angry horses, no, it has never happened.

So after he rode his horse all the way into the city, the people looked cold when they saw him and couldn't help but guess.

When he arrived outside the Sixth Ministry, the soldiers guarding the gate did not know Tudou. Seeing that he was young, he thought he was a prince from a minister's family and came here to wander around with ignorant feelings. He shouted, "Don't inquire when I go to the yamen!"

Tudou got off the horse and bowed, "Student Fang Han, come and find Lord Zhou Dianzhou!"

"Fang Han?"

The sergeant who was asking was stunned, then the "Hero List" in the capital flashed in his mind. Then he glanced at the servants and confirmed Tudou's identity.

"Please come in, please."

The so-called hero list is probably the situation of powerful people in the capital, and Tudou, as Fang Xing's eldest son, is naturally one of them.

The six ministries are no longer as vigilant as before. Tudou came all the way to the gate of the Ministry of Personnel and reported his name, saying that he only wanted to see Zhou Dian.

In the Ministry of Personnel, Zhou Dian, who had not arranged a specific position, was talking to people under the eaves.

The sixth rank of the official, who has the position of chief in the Ministry of Personnel, can take over, but Zhou Dian did not take over, so there are more ways to do it.

So he had the interest in chatting and there were many people accompanying him.

Zhou Dian is about forty people, looking quite capable and has clear and flexible mouths.

"...Who can enter the palace frequently? The Queen Mother's relatives are not good, but some people are so proud that they come to the palace every now and then show their respect. Tsk tsk! This skirt... is unbreakable!"

Zhou Dian stopped Zhang Shuhui's carriage outside, and then the news of righteous scolding had already spread throughout the six ministries.

Everyone around was smiling.

All of them are smart people here. Recently, Sun's family has almost disappeared in the palace, which makes people admire them very much.

However, no matter how much you appreciate it, there was no other official who tried to test like Zhou Dian.

Fang Xing is leaving, but British Duke Zhang Fu is still there! You bully his girl. If Zhang Fu gets angry, no one can dare to say anything when he breaks your head in the dynasty.

But Zhou Dian is right!

Although he scolded Zhang Shuhui today, he did not use dirty words and was quite obscure.

Over the years, no one in the court has criticized Fang Xing, but he has never seen Fang Xing take revenge on anyone.

Zhou Dian said reservedly: "You have to read more history books and read more to know how harmful it is to hand over outsiders in the palace..."

This has passed!

The people around immediately changed their sight, and some even began to move their steps to keep a distance.

Zhou Dian was upset and felt that he had been a little too much, so he smiled and said, "It's just a plan ahead. We serve the country..."

Seeing him talking, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and someone talked about the interesting things recently and gradually became lively.

At this time, a minor official came in with a bunch of booklets. He leaned back and said breathlessly: "Master Zhou, someone is looking for him outside."

Zhou Dian was thinking about the subsequent developments, and when he heard this, he asked, "Who?"

The little official held the booklet and was already difficult, and he felt a little depressed when he saw no one coming to help, but those were all Shangguan, so he had to hold his breath and said, "I don't know, the little one didn't ask."

He is having a hard time walking like this, how do you ask?

A look of disgust flashed in Zhou Dian's eyes, and then he smiled at his left and right and said, "I will come when I go."
