The topic returned to the Qinglong Army. Zhang Xiaowu asked about the current situation of the Qinglong Army. The innkeeper said that the Qinglong Army is relatively chaotic now. The original Sixth Regiment was reorganized into six regiments after the chaos, so now the Qinglong Army still has six regiments.
They are the first group to the sixth group respectively, but the things
This is wrong. Today's Qinglong Army is led by the first regiment, whose general is one of the eighteen adopted sons of Du Shanbo. The Covered Tiger has just begun to show off, and the second to sixth regiments only have one battalion each, so
The Qinglong Army actually has less than 30,000 people, and the power is still under the control of Du Shanbo.
Zhang Xiaowu asked again about Cheng Chu, the former guard of the Sixth Regiment. The innkeeper said that Cheng Chu had a serious illness, so he resigned as a general and returned to Beijing to retire. He should be working as an editor in the Archives Department of the Ministry of War.
Specializing in studying the history of wars in past dynasties, he has become an idler since then.
"It's really pitiful." Wang Yijin whispered from the side, "Back then, he was a powerful general with unlimited glory and everyone followed him."
"Why should he be pitiful?" the innkeeper curled his lips and said, "You don't know how much gold and silver he has coveted. I heard that it was just a big car, a total of twenty cars. With so much gold and silver to enjoy, we can also build a military department.
When he is idle and does not need to worry, his life can be regarded as a complete one. Of course, the most unsatisfactory thing is that his two sons drowned in the water."
"What?"
"Cheng Chu's two sons went for a swim in the river. Unexpectedly, the Dragon King took them in, and a whirlpool swept them both into the water." The innkeeper said, "As the saying goes, you can make money but lose your life. Sometimes people do it.
God is watching, if a person is too greedy, God will accept him."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said, "Your boss is quite interesting."
Finally, the innkeeper said that there were not many old people in the Qinglong Army. Xia Houbao, the former deputy general of the Sixth Regiment, was demoted to a commoner because he was found to have embezzled military pay. Murong Hui, the former military commander of the Huizi Camp of the Sixth Regiment, was also transferred elsewhere.
His whereabouts are unknown, but there is a man named Lu Zhong, who was originally the captain of the Sixth Regiment Xiaoqi Battalion, and is still serving as the captain of Lu Ziying in the Sixth Regiment.
"Store boss, you know quite a lot." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile.
The innkeeper chuckled: "In our line of work, we have seen a lot and heard a lot. In terms of being well-informed, sometimes we are better than the guards in gold and silver."
After everyone drank, they fell asleep in a hurry. Zhang Xiaowu lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. Three years passed by and things turned out to be different. Even Hu Li and others who followed him could not see each other across the country.
, this is the ever-changing nature of life.
After arriving at Longdu Mansion, he suddenly thought of the prince's twin twins, who must be seventeen years old now. Their family was in Chechi County, and their adoptive father was a childless teacher. The teacher's name was Meng Zeng.
, and the prince's children are named Meng Shi and Meng Ran'er respectively. According to their age, they should be of an age to be betrothed to someone else.
He had promised to take care of them, but although he only sent someone to protect them secretly, he did not really take care of them. Zhang Xiaowu thought that he would take advantage of these few days to rest in Ping'an County, so he went to Chechi County to see the prince's biological children.
The next day, Zhang Xiaowu informed Ruan Qingwen of his decision, which frightened Ruan Qingwen and said: "If you are found to be related to the deposed prince, I'm afraid this official will also do it to the end."
Zhang Xiaowu laughed and said: "I will be more careful. I know who is spying on the prince's son and daughter, but now they are not in danger, which means that the prince's worries are actually useless. Those people can't do anything just to flatter the new emperor."
Revealing his identity as Prince Anzi."
Ruan Qingwen was worried that he would take a few days like the Fujishan School again, so he asked him to accompany him in person, and he would take a team of people to protect it. Zhang Xiaowu was in trouble, so he only took Ruan Qingwen, Wang Yijin, Chen Guanxi, Kang Tianen, bags.
夏 and Jas also, Xia Ming took the other people to rest for two days.
Xia Ming murmured again and again at home, so he had to watch them leave Ping'an County.
Chechi County is between Ping'an County and Longyang County. It is also a county that relies on Longhe. The area is not large and the population is not much.
The county. Most of the people in Che Chi County are farmers and fishermen. The water network in the county is vertical and horizontal. When they enter Chechi County, they have entered Jiangnan Water Village. Everyone finally understands why the local is called Chechi County.
Because half of the local road depends on the legs, half of the road takes a boat.
The crowd finally came to Chechi County County. When it arrived, it was dark, and the gate was almost closed. When everyone took the copper coins, he barely entered the city.
It looked like he was not the greed of his eyes when he collected money later, and everyone would really think he was a Qing official.
Mr. Meng Zeng Meng is a private school for the owner's family in the city. At the same time, he also wrote a letter to others to read a book to earn some thin money to support his family. Meng Zeng had married a wife and died of illness a few years ago, so they only had one family of three dependent on each other.
Although the gate was closed, but the sky was not dark. After Zhang Xiaowu and others found a inn, they immediately came to Meng Zeng's house.
Meng Zeng's family is a tofu house. In the record of the prince, the owner of the tofu house is one of his chess pieces. Therefore, Zhang Xiaowu asked people to call the owner of the tofu house and ask him about everything about Meng Shi and Sudden Er.
Now I just want to be a common people, I don't want to intervene anymore, please forgive me. "
Zhang Xiaowu is quite curious, and said: "How? Don't even Ronghua's wealth?"
Ma Chao said: "Ronghua's wealth is not to get his head on his waist first. I just want to live honestly." Now the three children are getting more and more interesting.
In the restaurant of the capital, he was a man in charge. The third child was studying in the Mengyin Hall. He just wanted to support the years in the future.
No wonder he did not tell the court secret. This Ma Chao did just want to live safely.
"How are they?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.
Ma Chao knew who he was asking, and said, "I watched the two children grow up from a young age. Although I was ordered to surveillance, but after so many years, I regarded them as their own children. Although they were poor, Meng
Reading reading is particularly hard -working, and I took the talent with my eldest son. People said that our alley should be called the No. 1 Lane, because a lane is two talented talents, which is the only one in this county. "
San Hanke is divided into the township test, the state test and the national examination. The examination of the government -level exam is called the township test.
The population base is only thirty places. The state examination is the test of all students in the entire state. The top 30 are taken.
In addition to the 530 rookie talents in each seventeen states across the country, there are also talented talents who have not been in the middle of the past.
There are two thousand people, and there are more than 4,000 people at most.
List, I entered the Tai Academy and Hanlin Academy respectively. The Tai Academy trained low -level officials. The Hanlin Academy trained senior officials. (The previous article has been modified)
Seeing that Ma Chao had no fighting spirit and only wanted to live safely, Zhang Xiaowu did not embarrass him, but asked about their gold mines. However, although Meng Shi was admitted to Xiucai, Meng Ran'er encountered trouble.
The surnamed member fancy Meng Ran'er and wanted to Na Meng Ran'er as a concubine. Although Meng Zeng was poor, he was unwilling to support his daughter to be a little concubine.
I did not expect to be rejected by a small teacher, and when he became angry, he let the king dismiss Meng Zeng.
However, Meng Zeng's adopted son Meng Shi just passed Xiucai. Wang Yuan was worried that in the future, he was in the future. If he was in high school, he was afraid that he would not offend. Then he told the Korean officer that you can find a way. Do not drag me into the water.
The Korean officer warned everyone from the local people that anyone wanted to ask the Meng family. In the future, the medicine shop of the Han family will not be invited to his family, nor does it sell medicine to his family.
"This is a medicinal material businessman? It's just a living bandit." Bao Yan said angrily.
Ma Chao smiled bitterly: "The reason why his family became the largest medicinal material in Che Chi County was because he was overbearing. His family had eight brothers who made medicine shops, wood, cloth, shochu, shipping, casino, brothel business, and one and one.
Catched quickly in the county, so the county was afraid of their Han family. "
"How old is this Korean officer?"
"Fifty is three, but there are only five daughters, no son." Ma Chaotian, "I don't know who gave him fortune telling, saying that Meng Ran'er's birthday character can give him a son, otherwise he will have no son for a lifetime.
You said that you are not angry, how can there be such a bullying people? Isn't this a bullying? If the prince is the emperor, the Han family has already removed the root of the Han family, but unfortunately the prince died in the north, alas ... "
The crowd is weird. The prince died in the north.
It also allows people to decorate Prince Prince.
Ruan Qingwen whispered: "The emperor is so weak, I'm afraid it's not good for the empire."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Will it be that he is pretended here?"
Ruan Qingwen said: "If he pretends to be good, it will be even more terrible. Once such a person is really in power, I am afraid that it will really slaughter the world."
Zhang Xiaowu said to Ma Chao again: "In fact, we just look at whether they live well. After all, the prince treats us well. Although he is gone, we must not forget the kindness. When we solve Meng Ran'er's trouble, we have been named
, Such as you live safely. "
Ma Chao said: "So the best, so the best, you and I are all mortals, non -dragon -free grandson, why bother to cause their lives for them."
When the sky was dark, Zhang Xiaowu leapt into the home of Meng Zeng, Meng Zeng was watching the book, and Meng Shi, the adopted son Meng Shi in the other room, was also reading, while Meng Ran'er was making a needle line.
In between, Douda's tears flowed down his cheeks.
Zhang Xiaowu knocked on the door. Meng Zeng raised his head and saw a masked man walking straight in. Meng Zeng was about to shout when the masked man whispered: "Mr. Meng, five years ago, you adopted a pair of
Children, each of them carries a piece of jade, one carved with a phoenix and the other with a dragon, right?"
Meng Zeng immediately understood that they were going to take away his adopted son and daughter, and his expression suddenly became complicated. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I knew you were coming back." He walked to the bed and escaped from the pillow.
He took out a few gold bars, put them on the desk, and said, "Take away the gold. Can you keep them here? They are all children and don't understand anything."
"Do you know our identities?"
"Of course I know." Meng Zeng shook his head and said, "But if you can't do it, don't waste your efforts."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly: "It's better than being bullied here."
Meng Zeng was stunned for a moment, then became very angry and lowered his head and said: "At least they are still alive. If they are with you, they may not be alive."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "If I'm with you, I may not be alive, but if I'm with us, I won't be bullied, don't you think so?"
Meng Zeng said angrily: "You can take it away!"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Tomorrow, our people will come to pick them up. Mr. Meng, please talk to your adopted son and daughter more."
Meng Zeng turned his head away sadly.
Zhang Xiaowu bowed to leave, turned around and went out, only to see a man and a woman standing in the courtyard. The boy was handsome and the girl was beautiful. They were indeed the children of the prince. Their genes were good. Even though their mother was an old palace maid, the twins were so beautiful.
.Zhang Xiaowu knew that looking at them, they were also looking at Zhang Xiaowu. The boy said: "Are you my father's subordinate?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Do you know your identity?"
The boy said: "When we left the palace, we were already twelve years old and no longer children."
Zhang Xiaowu nodded.
The boy said again: "We will go with you."
"You won the title of scholar, so you won't take part in the imperial examination?"
"So what if you take part in the imperial examination? I won't serve him."
Zhang Xiaowu admired the boy's decisiveness and said, "You go and say goodbye to your adoptive father."
The boy and the girl walked into Meng Zeng's study. Meng Zeng was not surprised when he saw the two of them, but just sighed. The two knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. The boy said: "Ah
Master, let’s go.”
"How can a unicorn be like a thing in a pond?" Meng Zeng said, "I only hope that you will be safe in the future."
The girl cried: "Master, you have to take care of yourself. Your daughter is unfilial and can no longer serve you. You must drink less in the future."
Meng Zeng turned around, waved his hand, and burst into tears.
The two slowly exited Meng Zeng's room. The boy asked, "What are you going to do first?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I will take you away from the place of right and wrong first."
