He was targeted without giving any face. Zheng Xiong was still kept in the dark and had no knowledge of this matter.
After thinking about it, I still came up with some clues.
There is no need for Lu'an Prefecture officials to trick themselves. It is completely unreasonable to go out of their way to trick themselves afterwards.
Then there is someone behind it.
And there is only one person in Lu'an Prefecture who has the ability to make fun of himself during the holidays, and that is Zhu Yu, this little Zhu.
As for Nanjing City, there may be people who can't stand me and want to do something to me all the time, but such a thing is impossible. It's obviously disgusting to me and can't hurt me at all.
But you can't beat yourself to death with a stick, these people will not do such a thankless thing.
Therefore, it is very likely that Zhu Yu is causing trouble.
Zheng Xiong never expected that he would be so proud at such a young age.
It can also be seen from the side that this family is not someone to deal with.
It's really useful to be disgusting. I really didn't bring so much money when I came out.
Now it's not a question of whether to pay or not. It's a question of whether you can pay even if you have the money. That's not how you murder people. It's absolutely impossible to do it on your own head.
However, life here is quite comfortable. Compared with the nine-to-five life in Yingtian Mansion, Zheng Xiong still wants to lie down and live a retirement life in advance. Although it is a bit unexpected at the moment, it is not a big deal. Zheng Xiong Xiong doesn’t want to leave yet.
After such an incident, Lao Zheng and the two could be sent away, so he went to Lao Zheng and said.
"Father, mother, you go back first!"
"The officials here ask for construction fees, and there are people of all ages. Children should stay here and have a good time with them."
"You don't want to stay any longer, so go back and talk to His Majesty the Crown Prince, or tell the Queen and explain the matter. In principle, the money can be given, but not this much. It would be best if His Majesty can make the decision."
"The child will stay here with his mother for a while, and will go back after the matter is settled, so we still have to wait, so it's a good idea for my parents to go ahead."
Jia didn't have any problem with it, she had spent enough time in this place.
Lao Zheng was bored and wanted to go back, but Han Yuer and Zheng Xiong always felt that it was not perfect if they didn't go back.
The whole family came neatly, and two people came back, which didn't seem like the same thing.
The performance of filial piety also feels a bit anticlimactic and lacks sincerity.
"As a father, should you be filial or unfilial? The two of us are accompanying you on this trip. We still hope that you can make greater achievements in the court at your age."
"What will others think of you like this? It will inevitably give people with excuses to make irresponsible remarks. You'd better go back with us!"
"If anything happens, you can talk about it when you go back. There is no need to fight with them."
Zheng Xiong also knows this principle, but times are different, so he cannot generalize it.
At this position, being able to stay away from the capital, a place of right and wrong, is enough to provide for oneself in old age, even if it is possible to live to ninety-nine.
Being able to fade out of sight is the best result.
Others don't understand, family members don't understand, so what, is it important to have my own life?
The most urgent task is to trick his family back. When the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he can have as much fun as he wants, so Zheng Xiong continued to persuade.
"Dad, I still want to stay here, and I want to see who is playing dirty tricks behind my back. As for filial piety, I think that as long as our family is harmonious and we are consistent in front of outsiders, then it will not be a problem, so you can relax!"
Seeing that Zheng Xiong refused to listen and was determined to stay here, Lao Zheng had no choice but to say.
"Okay! If my father can't persuade you, I won't do it. You are old and don't have to worry about your father, but you'd better be careful here. With your title, although no one dares to do anything to you, you still have to Be wary of Xiao Xiao’s plot.”
"Get it done as soon as possible and go back early."
"Um."
After the heart-to-heart talk, Lao Zheng and the two packed up their things and went home.
Han Yue'er and Zheng Xiong watched the two people leave, even if they took away half of the guards, they didn't care.
After all, they are all family members.
With Lao Zheng and the two leaving, the only people who felt uncomfortable were Qiu Siwu and others who were guarding Zheng Xiong in the dark.
Just taking care of Zheng Xiong is not a big deal. The whole family can take care of him when they are together. When they are separated, he has to find people to protect him.
It's not enough if it's less. This is the situation that the rat-throwing weapon refers to. This trip is inherently dangerous. The investigation is ongoing, and the black hand who instructed the leader has not yet been found.
Then the accident will happen again at any time, and they can't help but take it seriously.
But Zheng Xiong still had to protect him, so he assigned a small number of people to guard Lao Zheng in secret.
I can only pray that nothing unexpected happens.
But the current situation is not bad, not too bad on the surface.
But there is an undercurrent surging secretly, and a greater crisis is coming quietly.
In a remote courtyard, a man in official uniform was telling someone something, and the man listened quietly.
"You're saying that the second son of the Yongjia Hou family became angry and did the following things because he was refuted by Zheng Xiong?"
"Yes, he asked me to wait in line at that time. I was just following his orders."
"Okay, I understand. You go back first. If you have any problems, report them to me in a timely manner."
"yes."
As they were waiting to leave, many people suddenly poured out of the side hall behind them and spread out to take their seats.
"You have all heard that Zheng's father and Zheng's mother left for this reason."
"As for the conflict between the two of them, it's not a bad thing."
"Half of the guards were gone because of this."
"The accident in the mountain shows that there are still people guarding secretly, and some of them must have left."
"Although there are only clues that can prove their existence, it is enough. The second son of the Yongjia Hou family has done this to distract their attention. It is also a good thing and will make things easier for us."
"We have a little more certainty about what happens next."
"There are also changes coming from the Liu'an Guard. Combined with the changes in the mountains, it can be seen that they can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the guard. What to do next? We must make careful arrangements to kill with one strike. Do you have any suggestions? Please speak freely.”
This group of people is obviously different from the captured leader. They are more like the masterminds behind the scenes, while the leader is just a pawn exploring the path.
After testing out the results, we made the final deployment secretly.
"The Liu'an guards are on the side. Since we can mobilize troops and horses, we can only do it quickly and catch Zheng Xiong in their hands before they react."
"In this way, we can only try our best to attract the attention of those secret guards in order to achieve something."
"And the number of secret guards is unknown. We must find a way to find out their authenticity."
"Of course, since Zhu Yu has conflicts with Zheng Xiong, we can use him to test him, or we can continue to hide in secret."
