The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty
Chapter 42
Huarong went to feed the horses, Gao Ming was bored by himself, and planned to go back to his room to sleep, and then concentrate on thinking about countermeasures when he woke up.
Walking down the corridor, I met a person head-on, it was Cheng Wanli with a sullen face, but when Cheng Wanli saw Gao Ming, he immediately put on a smile and walked over eagerly, "Why are you alone? Where is Huarong?" ?”
"He went to feed the horse. You also know that horses are so delicate. If the forage is not good, they won't eat it. It's better to have a mule, which can be fed without complaint." Gao Ming said what he thought of and carefully observed Cheng Wanli's expression.
Cheng Wanli didn't want to talk about mules and horses with Gao Ming, "Why don't you go out for a walk, there are several places in our Dongping Mansion that are very lively."
"I won't turn around anymore. I haven't been in good health since my serious illness that year." Gao Ming coughed a few times, "I'm fine on weekdays, but if I'm too tired, I'll get sick and lie down on the bed for a while. Ten days and half a month is normal."
Cheng Wanli looked at Gao Ming again and thought, no wonder his skin is so pale. It turns out that he is in poor health.
Cheng Wanli himself believes in "the prodigal son turns back", just like Gao Yanei, who was a Tokyo dude who was confused before, but since he fell ill, it is said that he has changed his mind and tried his best, and the achievements he has achieved are obvious to all .
Especially since Gao Ming is still the son of a Taiwei, it's no problem to suppress Dong Ping. Cheng Wanli is willing to marry his daughter to him.
But now, when he heard that Gao Ming was not in good health, Cheng Wanli didn't think much about it, and settled for the next best thing. He saw that Hua Rong was also very stable.
After Cheng Wanli paid attention to Gao Ming, he asked, "Um... I don't know how Huarong's martial arts are? Dong Ping, whom I introduced to you that day, has the courage of a million men, and he can do it at a young age. Supervisor, however, when it comes to martial arts, let alone his superiors, there is no one in the entire Dongping Mansion or even in the surrounding states. Since Hua Rong is younger than him, he has taken a higher position , must have superb martial arts."
Gao Ming thought that if he cared so much about Huarong's kung fu, he must be trying to use Huarong to suppress Dong Ping, "I don't know anything about biwu, and I can't see the way."
Cheng Wanli said: "Then why don't you let them have a competition, just to exercise their muscles and bones. Dong Ping is good at wielding two guns, and he is known as the general of two guns. I wonder what weapons Hua Rong is good at?"
"I saw him use a silver spear. However, it's fine for a martial arts competition. We are here as guests, not to fight fiercely." Gao Ming replied simply, "It's windy here, and it makes me cold. Why don't we Go talk to me."
Cheng Wanli shook his head, "No need, I have something else to do, please do what you want." Smiling, he sent Gao Ming away, and turned to look for Hua Rong at the stable.
-
Gao Ming went to find him in Hua Rong's room later, and when he entered the door, he saw him cleaning the weapon. The tip of the gun was sharp and gleaming coldly. He asked, "Do you want to maintain it again?"
Earlier, they had a bit of a quarrel, when Hua Rong saw Gao Ming, he first asked, "Are you not angry?"
Gao Ming smiled and said: "Why should I be angry? It is indeed more difficult to be a matchmaker than to be a prefect. Who do you think is a matchmaker? King Yun! Wen Kui! I can't do it, and I won't be in this business in the future." Pulled a round Sitting next to Huarong, he pointed to the red tassel on the gun and said, "By the way, I've always been curious about what this red plush is made of. It's pretty? Eye-catching?"
"To prevent the enemy's blood from flowing back to the gun handle, it is too wet and slippery, it is used for blood sucking."
Gao Ming grinned. It turned out that the red tassels that looked like fluttering in the wind had such a bloody effect, "Why did you think of wiping it?" In my impression, Hua Rong paid more attention to bows and arrows than to silver spears, and most of the time when he saw him, he adjusted his eyes. Bowstrings are ignorant of silver guns.
"I met Cheng Zhifu just now, and he told me that he wanted to see me fight Dong Ping, and I agreed. I didn't want to, but I heard that Dong Ping used double guns, so I decided to meet him."
Gao Ming looked curious, "Are the two guns special?"
"Well, there are very few people who can use a gun with both left and right hands at the same time, especially in horse warfare. Over the years, I have heard that Dong Ping uses it like this alone." Hua Rong raised his eyebrows, "Two guns are difficult to practice, but they can be achieved once practiced." It's a master."
"Since you are a master, what if you are injured? Let's compete in archery."
"This opportunity is rare. This time it's not a match. I don't know when we can fight again." Seeing Gao Ming frowning and shaking his head, he said, "Do you think I will lose to Dong Ping?"
Hua Rong insisted, but Gao Ming had no choice. Just like a literati trying to compete in poetry, a military general will not slap his opponent twice when he meets his opponent.
"That's not true." Gao Ming said: "Then go to bed early." He said to leave.
Hua Rong stopped him, "I haven't asked you yet, what do you want to do here?"
"Ah, I wanted to apologize to you, and I shouldn't worry about your personal affairs, but you apologized to me just now, so I don't need it." After finishing speaking, he smiled slyly, closed the door and left.
Hua Rong was stunned for a moment, then continued to lower his head to wipe the weapon, with a smile on his lips.
-
The next day, although it was a sunny day, the wind was cold and hard, making people's brains hurt.
But what caused Cheng Wanli's head to hurt more was not the weather, but the contest between Dong Ping and Hua Rong.
He originally planned to let Hua Rongzhao beat Dong Ping to death, and it would be better if he could beat Dong Ping, but it seemed that Hua Rongzhao couldn't do it.
He was a little desperate, and he squeezed the armrest of the chair fiercely.
Gao Ming, who was sitting by the side, saw Cheng Wanli's emotions, fixed his eyes on him for a moment, and then moved his eyes to the arena.
This Dong Ping was riding a yellow puma, and on the quiver hanging beside the saddle was a couplet written pretentiously: Heroic general with two guns, a romantic man of ten thousand households.
It can be seen that this person's character is flamboyant and rampant.
But to be honest, there is still some capital to act aggressively.
Although Gao Ming didn't know martial arts, he could still get a general idea of the battle situation. Hua Rong was not as easy as beating up those officers in Mengzhou. After fighting with Dong Ping for several rounds, both of them were tied first. After testing each other's martial arts, they separated from each other tacitly, and each rode their horses in place in the arena.
Dong Ping held a gun in each of his left and right hands, and looked at Cheng Wanli provocatively.
Cheng Wanli shuddered all over, and looked away, while Dong Ping looked at Gao Ming again, with his chin raised, and the corners of his mouth looked like a smile, which was obviously provocative.
Gao Ming laughed at him, clapped his hands and said, "Good marksmanship! If you win, just ask what you want, and the government will reward you heavily!"
Obviously, Gao Ming didn't care about him, he only regarded him as a pawn in the martial arts competition to please his superiors.
Especially Gao Ming's tone was frivolous, just like teasing a cat with a dog.
Dong Ping was so angry that he gritted his teeth. In the past few days, he had heard rumors that Cheng Wanli wanted to marry Cheng Yingying to Gao Ming. The other party is the son of the Taiwei, and his personality is said to be perverse, unlike Cheng Wanli, a bad old man who is easy to bully, and can only temporarily swallow his grievances.
He looked at Hua Rong opposite, and knew that this was also one of Cheng Wanli's candidate son-in-laws. Cheng Wanli asked them to compete to see if this man could catch him.
Dong Ping snorted and said to Hua Rong: "Have you rested?" After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to attack without giving the other party a chance to breathe.
Just now, the two tested each other a little, and they have already made an assessment of each other's strength: they have met their opponents, and today is a fierce battle.
Gao Ming and Cheng Wanli sat in the top chairs, watching the competition in the arena.
I saw Dong Ping and Hua Rong fighting inextricably, fighting from the east side of the school field to the west side, and then from the west side to the north side, with dazzling moves.
The silver light and shadow collided back and forth, making it impossible to tell which gun tip belonged to Dong Ping and which belonged to Hua Rong.
Everyone in the arena was stunned. Gao Ming was worried about Hua Rong and couldn't sit still. He stood up and stared at the situation in the arena. Once he found that something was wrong, he would stop it.
While concentrating on this, he suddenly heard Cheng Wanli's sobs, turned his head hastily, and saw Cheng Wanli covering his eyes with one hand, his body twitching.
"what happened?"
Cheng Wanli also realized that he had lost his composure, "It's nothing, seeing that I have such a strong general under my command, the old man couldn't help but was moved to tears."
He could tell that Hua Rong was a master, and the rumors that he would directly overthrow the regime in Mengzhou with one fight against four were not false, but the key point was that Dong Ping was able to fight him inextricably, so it was obviously not easy to mess with.
He seemed to have seen the terrifying scene of blood flowing like a river in his dream again.
Two months ago, during my lunch break in the study, I had a dream. In the dream, a group of robbers attacked Dongping Mansion. Dong Ping rebelled and led his troops back to fight back. He killed him, and his daughter was also taken to the robber's den by him. He hanged himself.
After waking up, I found that it was a dream, but it was so real, and that period was the time when Dong Ping fell in love with Yingying at first sight, and after he rejected his first marriage proposal.
With this dream, he once thought of preemptively transferring Dong Ping away from Dongping Mansion, but as soon as the news was released, Dong Ping spread the word that he would never leave Dongping Mansion even if he was a bandit in the army. To kill back!
Cheng Wanli was afraid that Dong Ping would jump over the wall in a hurry, so this matter was shelved for the time being.
What's worse is that Dong Ping is a soldier and horse commander, and he has prestige in the army. Cheng Wanli has just arrived, and if he dispatches troops to capture Dong Ping, Dong Ping will know what will happen next as soon as the news is released. Be pessimistic.
Just relying on the few yamen servants under him, Dong Ping is really not enough to practice fighting.
Besides, Dong Ping has no reason to arrest Cheng Wanli except that he wants to marry Cheng Yingying.
Cheng Wanli was so worried that he couldn't sleep or eat.Finally looking forward to two suitable marriage partners.
Gao Ming was not in good health, so he settled for the next best thing, hoping Hua Rong would teach Dong Ping a lesson, but now even this hope was lost, seeing Dong Ping so brave, he couldn't help but shed tears.
At this time, the situation in the arena changed. Although Dong Ping and Hua Rong were comparable, there was a gap between the two horses.
Dong Ping's horses are not good local horses in Dongping Mansion, but Huarong's are from the Mansion of Prince Yun, Chitu among the thousands of horses selected.
Suddenly, when Dong Ping's horse turned around, its front hoof slipped and sprained. The wrist bone of the good horse was very slender, and it broke with a click.
Seeing this, Dong Ping jumped off the horse before falling off, and shouted at Hua Rong: "Stop!"
This is a martial arts competition, Hua Rong naturally will not take advantage of others' danger, so he also dismounts.
Dong Ping looked at his yellow puma fiercely, "Useless waste!" After saying that, he raised the gun in his right hand and stabbed at it.
Hua Rong hurriedly blocked it with a weapon, "What are you doing?"
For military generals, a horse carries its master on its back to fight in all directions, allows the master to make great achievements, and can also carry the master to escape the pursuers in times of crisis, and even has a deeper relationship than comrades-in-arms.
Even if his wrist is broken and he can no longer go to the battlefield, he still has to be taken care of, how can he kill him.
Dong Ping said viciously: "Without this bastard's mistake, I would have won a long time ago, so you wait to see it."
Hua Rong deeply felt that this person was unreasonable, and he didn't want to get entangled with him, pointing to the martial arts hall in front of him, "Cheng Zhifu and Gao Zhifu are watching us, we should go back quickly and report to our orders."
Dong Ping snorted, retracted the gun in his right hand, and walked forward.
But after Gao Rong walked a few steps with him, Dong Ping raised the gun in his right hand high and threw it back, followed by a hissing sound from behind.
Hua Rong turned around and saw that the yellow puma was pierced by a gun in the neck, bleeding all over the ground, struggled a few times, and stopped moving.
But Dong Ping laughed when he saw it, and strode towards the martial arts hall.
Cheng Wanli saw that he killed his mount without blinking his eyes, and saw him walking this way with a smile, as if he saw Dong Ping coming over the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in that nightmare, and moved back in fright. If Gao Ming hadn't supported him, he would have fallen.
Gao Ming also stared at Dong Ping closely. The mount that accompanied him day and night should be more affectionate than a pet.
Dong Ping later killed Cheng Wanli in order to vote for Liangshan, and what could be more rewarding and heartfelt than the magistrate's head.
As for killing Cheng Wanli, he didn't care whether Miss Cheng would be sad or not. He didn't treat Miss Cheng as a person of flesh and blood, but just coveted her beauty.
Seeing Dong Ping coming, Cheng Wanli supported Gao Ming's arm to stand firm, and ordered the left and right, "Look at Dong Dujian for five ingots of silver!" Then he forcibly controlled his emotions and said to Dong Ping: "I have never disgraced my Dongping Mansion in front of outsiders. well done."
In fact, he wanted to speak more sincerely, but he was really confused, so he could only deal with it like this.
Gao Ming looked at Dong Ping with his arms around his shoulders, "You didn't win against Huarong either, at best it was a tie."
Dong Ping still didn't dare to confront Gao Ming face to face, but he didn't want to keep his mouth idle, "It's the last general who doesn't live up to his mounts, besides, it's normal to fight for hundreds of rounds, Hua Tongzhi and I only fought about fifty rounds. "
The implication is that if it goes on all the way, it is not necessarily who will win and who will lose.
Gao Ming said indifferently: "That's not necessarily the case, nothing else compares to it."
Dong Ping said confidently: "Even if it is better than others, the final general will never back down. The final general is a good double spear and a good bow and arrow."
Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, looked at Dong Ping, and thought, don't you know that Hua Rong's name is Xiao Li Guang, and his arrows can kill you instantly?
After thinking about it, he probably didn't know that Huarong was in Tokyo before and then in Qingzhou. He was a low-key person, unlike Dong Ping who hung a pair of boastful couplets on the horse.
At this time Hua Rong also came up, Cheng Wanli saw him, and raised his voice to hide his crying, "Hua Rong also appreciates... three ingots of silver!"
He didn't dare to look at Hua Rong Wu Ding like Dong Ping.
Gao Ming squinted at Cheng Wanli, it's no wonder that you can cure Dong Ping if you are so cowardly, if this continues, not only your whole family will die, but even the people of Dongping Mansion will suffer, and you should definitely continue to suffer from it.
Alas, if a good man does his best to send Buddha to the west, Dong Ping will let him come.
Dong Ping was very satisfied with Cheng Wanli's attitude, and made further progress, "My lord, if the general makes great achievements in the future, I hope you can make Miss..."
Cheng Wanli knew that he was going to ask Yingying to marry him. It's not like he didn't do this before. In fact, Dong Ping formally mentioned it to him twice, but he refused.
He really didn't want to hear Dong Ping say it for the third time, so he immediately covered his head and leaned back.
Everyone around came to help Cheng Wanli, and there was chaos. Dong Ping didn't finish his sentence after all.
Humph, this old bastard, come here again, I want to see how long you can delay, if you stop me, if you push me, I will make mature rice with Yingying raw rice, see if you can recruit My son-in-law.
Gao Ming winked at Hua Rong, and the two of them made room for the rescuers, and stood aside, only to see Dong Ping just standing on the side watching coldly, obviously knowing that Cheng Wanli was also pretending to be sick, and then turned to Gao Ming. He Huarong showed an evil smile.
It's okay to say it's a provocation, or it's okay to say it's a show of favor, but it's just a crooked mouth.
Gao Ming also smiled at Dong Ping, then pulled Hua Rong aside, "I have an idea, it depends on whether you agree or not, it doesn't matter if you agree or not."
Although Dong Ping didn't finish what he said just now, what has been said is enough for Huarong Lenovo to understand the ins and outs.
Dong Ping likes Miss Cheng, but Cheng Wanli doesn't want to see him, so he wants to marry his daughter to Gao Ming or him to avoid Dong Ping's entanglement.
If it was before, when Hua Rong heard that Gao Ming had a plan, he would have agreed without even thinking about it, but now he said vigilantly: "You don't want to be a good person and help the Cheng family solve their problems, right?"
Gao Ming nodded, "I want to save Miss Cheng."
Hua Rong snorted, "You're so kind! When did you arrange the wine and finish the wedding?"
"I said to help her, but I didn't say to marry her." Gao Ming sensed his displeasure, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you so disgusted?"
Hua Rong was stunned for a moment, as if he was caught by the question, he shook his head, and said: "I just find it troublesome, being caught up in other people's affairs, and delaying our itinerary. However, if you have a plan to cut the mess quickly, I will not be opposed to."
Gao Ming smiled, "It really is."
-
Cheng Wanli suddenly fell ill. After sending him back to his bedroom, he asked a doctor to see him.
Cheng Wanli was not ill at all, so he pretended to wake up, and dismissed the doctor with a few casual words.
When everyone was gone, he pulled the quilt over, hid in the quilt, and kept pulling his hair.
If it doesn't work, he can only poison Dong Ping to death by setting up a Hongmen banquet, but no matter how powerful the magistrate is, he can't poison his subordinates to death irresponsible.
It would be impossible to hide if he applied for a transfer. Without the prefect's power, Dong Ping dared to do anything.
The terrible thing is that Gao Ming and Hua Rong's visit to Dongping Mansion this time has already stimulated Dong Ping, and he has to be more cautious when looking for Yingying's husband's house.
It is really difficult to find a person of the right age, high position and weight, outstanding ability and able to suppress Dong Ping.
Why are Gao Ming and Hua Rong not attracted to Yingying?What happened to them? !
Just when she was so worried that she was about to fall ill, the servant girl outside said: "My lord, Gao Zhifu is back again, and I want to see you."
Upon hearing Gao Ming's arrival, Cheng Wanli sat up abruptly, "Ask him to come in."
Gao Ming walked in with his head held high, and straight to the point, he said, "You are so afraid of Dong Ping."
Cheng Wanli couldn't help laughing, "What are you talking about? It's funny. How could I be afraid of my generals?" Seeing Gao Ming look at him coldly, his eyes clearly understood everything, Cheng Wanli couldn't hold back any longer and almost cried Out loud, "You have also seen his ability and temper!"
He was too obvious today, a person like Gao Ming must have seen it clearly, and there is no point in hiding it.
"Just now I heard him mention the word Miss. Could it be that he wants to be your son-in-law?" Gao Ming said, "However, it's really not a good choice for such a person to be your son-in-law."
Whether he is a son-in-law or not, he can't stay. He was a general who was supposed to guard a city. When he was captured alive, he turned around and surrendered to the enemy. His character is evident.
Cheng Wanli walked to the side of the bed, grabbed Gao Ming's arm and said, "I know you have the ability to subdue Mengzhou's fierce generals with ease. You can teach me how to deal with Dong Ping. You can't keep him! Believe me , really can't stay!"
When Cheng Wanli thought of the horrible scene in the future, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Gao Ming said: "You are the magistrate, it is not easy to deal with him? Set a trap for him to take advantage of, such as keeping him in the house, and there will be a thief in the night mansion at night, and he goes out to catch him, you send someone to arrest him, saying that he stole it." , distributed to remote state capitals."
"And then, wait for him to come back and kill my whole family?" Cheng Wanli has a lot of research on Wu Song's bloody murder case, and the set mentioned above is Zhang Dujian's method of framing Wu Song.
It is very difficult to put a person to death legally. The current popular method is to first find a reason to send the person to prison, and then do it on the way to distribution.
But with Dong Ping's character, he will definitely not obediently go to assassinate the ground like Lin Chong and Wu Song did the first time. He should have killed the escort's tolerance that night, and then killed Cheng Wanli when he came back to kill Cheng Wanli and kidnap Cheng Yingying.
Wu Song had already performed the operation of destroying the door. Dong Ping held two guns, and his combat effectiveness was by no means inferior to Wu Song. It is estimated that Cheng Wanli's family could be killed as clean as Zhang Dujian.
Gao Ming pretended to be thinking, "That will be difficult."
Cheng Wanli said urgently: "I know you are quick-witted, help me! Help me find a way to get rid of Dong Ping. Help me—"
"That's what you said."
"I said it!" Cheng Wanli was really afraid of Dong Ping, and said in a daze: "Or let's have a Hongmen banquet, and put some ingredients in the wine..."
Seeing that he was about to lose his mind, Gao Ming comforted him, "Actually, I have a plan here."
Cheng Wanli wiped away his tears, "Say what you say."
"Today you just saw that Dong Ping's martial arts are good, but my friend Hua Rong's is not bad either. In a real fight, if you call for a helper, it's easy to kill Dong Ping. Even if you don't have a helper, Dong Ping doesn't dare to make a mistake easily." " Gao Ming said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, Hua Rong had a fiancée before, but when he heard that Hua Rong messed with the Taiwei's House, he divorced his family. Of course, it was all a misunderstanding. But anyway, I owe him a daughter-in-law, so I am willing to match him with your daughter, so that he will have a wife and your daughter will be protected, what do you think?"
Isn't this the idea Cheng Wanli had at the beginning, but he could see that Hua Rong was very cold, "But isn't your friend unwilling?"
The main reason was that his daughter didn't want to either, she was very stubborn, she was very much like her deceased mother, thinking of his deceased wife, Cheng Wanli suffered again, his wife passed away and left behind a daughter, but he couldn't protect her well.
"Then let him be willing!" Gao Ming said with a smile: "Heroes save the beauty, and God-given marriage, there is no reason not to accept it. My plan is this, isn't it the Chinese New Year, and I must go to temples and Taoist temples to pray for blessings. At that time, you send a few policemen to pretend to be bad guys and kidnap Miss on the way, and then Hua Rong and I will be behind. Let me promise, it's wonderful that Hua Rong embraces the beauty."
Cheng Wanli also thought it was very good, "But... this plan is still dangerous, I'm afraid Yingying will be shocked. Can I use a nun to rob her?"
"..." Gao Ming hated iron for being weak, "They are all arrests from your yamen, what are you afraid of, can they not listen to you?"
It's hard to say in the army, but the policeman's obedience to him is fine, Cheng Wanli is still worried, "I'm afraid that Yingying will be surprised..."
Gao Ming reckoned that he was such a foresight and hesitant temperament, he cherished his daughter, and refused to agree to Dong Ping's marriage proposal, but because he was afraid, he didn't dare to deal with Dong Ping. Cheng Yingying defected to Liangshan.
"Forget it, I will leave Dongping Mansion for Qingzhou tomorrow, so you can rest."
"Slow, wait! It's indeed a good idea!" Cheng Wanli hurriedly said, "Then let's discuss the specific details."
"The plan doesn't change quickly. There's no need to plan. It's just this matter. When you make arrangements, Huarong and I will go to pilgrimage with you. Hurry up, I'll be leaving for at most two days." After finishing speaking, he left Cheng Wanli with a cheerful back, and went out the door humming a little tune.
-
Cheng Yingying heard that Hua Rong had a tie with Dong Ping in today's martial arts performance at the school, and she became even more frowning. Couldn't Hua Rong, whose father kept praising her before, defeat Dong Ping?
She sighed and read the book absent-mindedly.
She came to Dongping Mansion with her father. On the day of her arrival, she got out of the carriage, and the wind blew up her gauze hat, allowing Dong Ping to see her appearance. After that, Dong Ping set his sights on her and proposed marriage twice.
She didn't like Dong Ping very much, and his eyes made her uncomfortable.
At this time, she heard a click at the door, as if something had landed on the ground, and she looked at the servant girl Wenxue.
Wenxue understood and opened the door immediately, but there was no one outside the door, but there was a ball of paper.
Miss likes to be clean, there is no debris in the yard, let alone garbage at the door, Wenxue opened the ball of paper, saw the words written on it, and said deliberately: "This is the waste paper thrown by the small official in the front yard, it was blown by the wind. Are you here yet?"
As the personal maid of the official daughter, she is literate, otherwise she would not be able to sort out the manuscripts for the lady on weekdays.
Pretending to straighten the ball of paper, at this time, she has already seen everything written on it.
Although I don't know who wrote it, the person reminded the lady in the letter that the magistrate Cheng would let the government servants pretend to be robbers to kidnap the lady during the pilgrimage tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then let Hua Rong come to rescue and match them up.
"Oh, miss, this doesn't seem to be waste paper!" Wenxue hurriedly walked up to Cheng Yingying, "Look."
When Cheng Yingying saw the above words, her face changed, and she said angrily, "Father is really messing around!"
If it was three-match and six-hiring, and her father took a fancy to him, she would not reject her, she just resented her father's lack of restraint, and sent her to other men in a hurry.
Wenxue tried to suggest, "Let's pretend to be sick. You don't have to go if you pretend to be sick. Their scheme will not succeed."
Cheng Yingying has a strong temper, "Why don't you go, I want to go, I will not mess up when the time comes, and I have to expose their plan face to face! Teach them to teach them a lesson, and they will not dare to do this next time, otherwise my father will definitely fail and have another one." Count, never stop."
Wenxue echoed, "Yes, Miss is right!"
From an angle that Cheng Yingying couldn't see, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Tell Dong Dujian about this, he must think she is capable.
-
When Shi Qian entered the house, Gao Ming was surrounding the charcoal basin to keep warm, while Hua Rong was adjusting the bowstring beside him.
Gao Ming took the initiative to ask: "Is it finished?"
"En!" Shi Qian nodded, "I threw the ball of paper in front of Miss Cheng's door, and asked a maid to pick it up. According to my observation, that maid was Wenxue, so she couldn't be wrong. It was her. Dong Ping secretly met in private."
Gao Ming looked at Hua Rong, "Is there no problem tomorrow?"
"Nothing is lost."
If someone else made such a promise, Gao Ming would put a question mark in his heart, but the other party was Hua Rong, so Gao Ming firmly believed, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing hard, I just want to solve these bad things as soon as possible and leave Dongping Mansion as soon as possible. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable staying here."
Gao Ming guessed: "Is it because the climate is not acclimatized?"
"Is this the use of acclimatization?" But Huarong couldn't think of any other reason, so let's just think, "Maybe."
Walking down the corridor, I met a person head-on, it was Cheng Wanli with a sullen face, but when Cheng Wanli saw Gao Ming, he immediately put on a smile and walked over eagerly, "Why are you alone? Where is Huarong?" ?”
"He went to feed the horse. You also know that horses are so delicate. If the forage is not good, they won't eat it. It's better to have a mule, which can be fed without complaint." Gao Ming said what he thought of and carefully observed Cheng Wanli's expression.
Cheng Wanli didn't want to talk about mules and horses with Gao Ming, "Why don't you go out for a walk, there are several places in our Dongping Mansion that are very lively."
"I won't turn around anymore. I haven't been in good health since my serious illness that year." Gao Ming coughed a few times, "I'm fine on weekdays, but if I'm too tired, I'll get sick and lie down on the bed for a while. Ten days and half a month is normal."
Cheng Wanli looked at Gao Ming again and thought, no wonder his skin is so pale. It turns out that he is in poor health.
Cheng Wanli himself believes in "the prodigal son turns back", just like Gao Yanei, who was a Tokyo dude who was confused before, but since he fell ill, it is said that he has changed his mind and tried his best, and the achievements he has achieved are obvious to all .
Especially since Gao Ming is still the son of a Taiwei, it's no problem to suppress Dong Ping. Cheng Wanli is willing to marry his daughter to him.
But now, when he heard that Gao Ming was not in good health, Cheng Wanli didn't think much about it, and settled for the next best thing. He saw that Hua Rong was also very stable.
After Cheng Wanli paid attention to Gao Ming, he asked, "Um... I don't know how Huarong's martial arts are? Dong Ping, whom I introduced to you that day, has the courage of a million men, and he can do it at a young age. Supervisor, however, when it comes to martial arts, let alone his superiors, there is no one in the entire Dongping Mansion or even in the surrounding states. Since Hua Rong is younger than him, he has taken a higher position , must have superb martial arts."
Gao Ming thought that if he cared so much about Huarong's kung fu, he must be trying to use Huarong to suppress Dong Ping, "I don't know anything about biwu, and I can't see the way."
Cheng Wanli said: "Then why don't you let them have a competition, just to exercise their muscles and bones. Dong Ping is good at wielding two guns, and he is known as the general of two guns. I wonder what weapons Hua Rong is good at?"
"I saw him use a silver spear. However, it's fine for a martial arts competition. We are here as guests, not to fight fiercely." Gao Ming replied simply, "It's windy here, and it makes me cold. Why don't we Go talk to me."
Cheng Wanli shook his head, "No need, I have something else to do, please do what you want." Smiling, he sent Gao Ming away, and turned to look for Hua Rong at the stable.
-
Gao Ming went to find him in Hua Rong's room later, and when he entered the door, he saw him cleaning the weapon. The tip of the gun was sharp and gleaming coldly. He asked, "Do you want to maintain it again?"
Earlier, they had a bit of a quarrel, when Hua Rong saw Gao Ming, he first asked, "Are you not angry?"
Gao Ming smiled and said: "Why should I be angry? It is indeed more difficult to be a matchmaker than to be a prefect. Who do you think is a matchmaker? King Yun! Wen Kui! I can't do it, and I won't be in this business in the future." Pulled a round Sitting next to Huarong, he pointed to the red tassel on the gun and said, "By the way, I've always been curious about what this red plush is made of. It's pretty? Eye-catching?"
"To prevent the enemy's blood from flowing back to the gun handle, it is too wet and slippery, it is used for blood sucking."
Gao Ming grinned. It turned out that the red tassels that looked like fluttering in the wind had such a bloody effect, "Why did you think of wiping it?" In my impression, Hua Rong paid more attention to bows and arrows than to silver spears, and most of the time when he saw him, he adjusted his eyes. Bowstrings are ignorant of silver guns.
"I met Cheng Zhifu just now, and he told me that he wanted to see me fight Dong Ping, and I agreed. I didn't want to, but I heard that Dong Ping used double guns, so I decided to meet him."
Gao Ming looked curious, "Are the two guns special?"
"Well, there are very few people who can use a gun with both left and right hands at the same time, especially in horse warfare. Over the years, I have heard that Dong Ping uses it like this alone." Hua Rong raised his eyebrows, "Two guns are difficult to practice, but they can be achieved once practiced." It's a master."
"Since you are a master, what if you are injured? Let's compete in archery."
"This opportunity is rare. This time it's not a match. I don't know when we can fight again." Seeing Gao Ming frowning and shaking his head, he said, "Do you think I will lose to Dong Ping?"
Hua Rong insisted, but Gao Ming had no choice. Just like a literati trying to compete in poetry, a military general will not slap his opponent twice when he meets his opponent.
"That's not true." Gao Ming said: "Then go to bed early." He said to leave.
Hua Rong stopped him, "I haven't asked you yet, what do you want to do here?"
"Ah, I wanted to apologize to you, and I shouldn't worry about your personal affairs, but you apologized to me just now, so I don't need it." After finishing speaking, he smiled slyly, closed the door and left.
Hua Rong was stunned for a moment, then continued to lower his head to wipe the weapon, with a smile on his lips.
-
The next day, although it was a sunny day, the wind was cold and hard, making people's brains hurt.
But what caused Cheng Wanli's head to hurt more was not the weather, but the contest between Dong Ping and Hua Rong.
He originally planned to let Hua Rongzhao beat Dong Ping to death, and it would be better if he could beat Dong Ping, but it seemed that Hua Rongzhao couldn't do it.
He was a little desperate, and he squeezed the armrest of the chair fiercely.
Gao Ming, who was sitting by the side, saw Cheng Wanli's emotions, fixed his eyes on him for a moment, and then moved his eyes to the arena.
This Dong Ping was riding a yellow puma, and on the quiver hanging beside the saddle was a couplet written pretentiously: Heroic general with two guns, a romantic man of ten thousand households.
It can be seen that this person's character is flamboyant and rampant.
But to be honest, there is still some capital to act aggressively.
Although Gao Ming didn't know martial arts, he could still get a general idea of the battle situation. Hua Rong was not as easy as beating up those officers in Mengzhou. After fighting with Dong Ping for several rounds, both of them were tied first. After testing each other's martial arts, they separated from each other tacitly, and each rode their horses in place in the arena.
Dong Ping held a gun in each of his left and right hands, and looked at Cheng Wanli provocatively.
Cheng Wanli shuddered all over, and looked away, while Dong Ping looked at Gao Ming again, with his chin raised, and the corners of his mouth looked like a smile, which was obviously provocative.
Gao Ming laughed at him, clapped his hands and said, "Good marksmanship! If you win, just ask what you want, and the government will reward you heavily!"
Obviously, Gao Ming didn't care about him, he only regarded him as a pawn in the martial arts competition to please his superiors.
Especially Gao Ming's tone was frivolous, just like teasing a cat with a dog.
Dong Ping was so angry that he gritted his teeth. In the past few days, he had heard rumors that Cheng Wanli wanted to marry Cheng Yingying to Gao Ming. The other party is the son of the Taiwei, and his personality is said to be perverse, unlike Cheng Wanli, a bad old man who is easy to bully, and can only temporarily swallow his grievances.
He looked at Hua Rong opposite, and knew that this was also one of Cheng Wanli's candidate son-in-laws. Cheng Wanli asked them to compete to see if this man could catch him.
Dong Ping snorted and said to Hua Rong: "Have you rested?" After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to attack without giving the other party a chance to breathe.
Just now, the two tested each other a little, and they have already made an assessment of each other's strength: they have met their opponents, and today is a fierce battle.
Gao Ming and Cheng Wanli sat in the top chairs, watching the competition in the arena.
I saw Dong Ping and Hua Rong fighting inextricably, fighting from the east side of the school field to the west side, and then from the west side to the north side, with dazzling moves.
The silver light and shadow collided back and forth, making it impossible to tell which gun tip belonged to Dong Ping and which belonged to Hua Rong.
Everyone in the arena was stunned. Gao Ming was worried about Hua Rong and couldn't sit still. He stood up and stared at the situation in the arena. Once he found that something was wrong, he would stop it.
While concentrating on this, he suddenly heard Cheng Wanli's sobs, turned his head hastily, and saw Cheng Wanli covering his eyes with one hand, his body twitching.
"what happened?"
Cheng Wanli also realized that he had lost his composure, "It's nothing, seeing that I have such a strong general under my command, the old man couldn't help but was moved to tears."
He could tell that Hua Rong was a master, and the rumors that he would directly overthrow the regime in Mengzhou with one fight against four were not false, but the key point was that Dong Ping was able to fight him inextricably, so it was obviously not easy to mess with.
He seemed to have seen the terrifying scene of blood flowing like a river in his dream again.
Two months ago, during my lunch break in the study, I had a dream. In the dream, a group of robbers attacked Dongping Mansion. Dong Ping rebelled and led his troops back to fight back. He killed him, and his daughter was also taken to the robber's den by him. He hanged himself.
After waking up, I found that it was a dream, but it was so real, and that period was the time when Dong Ping fell in love with Yingying at first sight, and after he rejected his first marriage proposal.
With this dream, he once thought of preemptively transferring Dong Ping away from Dongping Mansion, but as soon as the news was released, Dong Ping spread the word that he would never leave Dongping Mansion even if he was a bandit in the army. To kill back!
Cheng Wanli was afraid that Dong Ping would jump over the wall in a hurry, so this matter was shelved for the time being.
What's worse is that Dong Ping is a soldier and horse commander, and he has prestige in the army. Cheng Wanli has just arrived, and if he dispatches troops to capture Dong Ping, Dong Ping will know what will happen next as soon as the news is released. Be pessimistic.
Just relying on the few yamen servants under him, Dong Ping is really not enough to practice fighting.
Besides, Dong Ping has no reason to arrest Cheng Wanli except that he wants to marry Cheng Yingying.
Cheng Wanli was so worried that he couldn't sleep or eat.Finally looking forward to two suitable marriage partners.
Gao Ming was not in good health, so he settled for the next best thing, hoping Hua Rong would teach Dong Ping a lesson, but now even this hope was lost, seeing Dong Ping so brave, he couldn't help but shed tears.
At this time, the situation in the arena changed. Although Dong Ping and Hua Rong were comparable, there was a gap between the two horses.
Dong Ping's horses are not good local horses in Dongping Mansion, but Huarong's are from the Mansion of Prince Yun, Chitu among the thousands of horses selected.
Suddenly, when Dong Ping's horse turned around, its front hoof slipped and sprained. The wrist bone of the good horse was very slender, and it broke with a click.
Seeing this, Dong Ping jumped off the horse before falling off, and shouted at Hua Rong: "Stop!"
This is a martial arts competition, Hua Rong naturally will not take advantage of others' danger, so he also dismounts.
Dong Ping looked at his yellow puma fiercely, "Useless waste!" After saying that, he raised the gun in his right hand and stabbed at it.
Hua Rong hurriedly blocked it with a weapon, "What are you doing?"
For military generals, a horse carries its master on its back to fight in all directions, allows the master to make great achievements, and can also carry the master to escape the pursuers in times of crisis, and even has a deeper relationship than comrades-in-arms.
Even if his wrist is broken and he can no longer go to the battlefield, he still has to be taken care of, how can he kill him.
Dong Ping said viciously: "Without this bastard's mistake, I would have won a long time ago, so you wait to see it."
Hua Rong deeply felt that this person was unreasonable, and he didn't want to get entangled with him, pointing to the martial arts hall in front of him, "Cheng Zhifu and Gao Zhifu are watching us, we should go back quickly and report to our orders."
Dong Ping snorted, retracted the gun in his right hand, and walked forward.
But after Gao Rong walked a few steps with him, Dong Ping raised the gun in his right hand high and threw it back, followed by a hissing sound from behind.
Hua Rong turned around and saw that the yellow puma was pierced by a gun in the neck, bleeding all over the ground, struggled a few times, and stopped moving.
But Dong Ping laughed when he saw it, and strode towards the martial arts hall.
Cheng Wanli saw that he killed his mount without blinking his eyes, and saw him walking this way with a smile, as if he saw Dong Ping coming over the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in that nightmare, and moved back in fright. If Gao Ming hadn't supported him, he would have fallen.
Gao Ming also stared at Dong Ping closely. The mount that accompanied him day and night should be more affectionate than a pet.
Dong Ping later killed Cheng Wanli in order to vote for Liangshan, and what could be more rewarding and heartfelt than the magistrate's head.
As for killing Cheng Wanli, he didn't care whether Miss Cheng would be sad or not. He didn't treat Miss Cheng as a person of flesh and blood, but just coveted her beauty.
Seeing Dong Ping coming, Cheng Wanli supported Gao Ming's arm to stand firm, and ordered the left and right, "Look at Dong Dujian for five ingots of silver!" Then he forcibly controlled his emotions and said to Dong Ping: "I have never disgraced my Dongping Mansion in front of outsiders. well done."
In fact, he wanted to speak more sincerely, but he was really confused, so he could only deal with it like this.
Gao Ming looked at Dong Ping with his arms around his shoulders, "You didn't win against Huarong either, at best it was a tie."
Dong Ping still didn't dare to confront Gao Ming face to face, but he didn't want to keep his mouth idle, "It's the last general who doesn't live up to his mounts, besides, it's normal to fight for hundreds of rounds, Hua Tongzhi and I only fought about fifty rounds. "
The implication is that if it goes on all the way, it is not necessarily who will win and who will lose.
Gao Ming said indifferently: "That's not necessarily the case, nothing else compares to it."
Dong Ping said confidently: "Even if it is better than others, the final general will never back down. The final general is a good double spear and a good bow and arrow."
Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, looked at Dong Ping, and thought, don't you know that Hua Rong's name is Xiao Li Guang, and his arrows can kill you instantly?
After thinking about it, he probably didn't know that Huarong was in Tokyo before and then in Qingzhou. He was a low-key person, unlike Dong Ping who hung a pair of boastful couplets on the horse.
At this time Hua Rong also came up, Cheng Wanli saw him, and raised his voice to hide his crying, "Hua Rong also appreciates... three ingots of silver!"
He didn't dare to look at Hua Rong Wu Ding like Dong Ping.
Gao Ming squinted at Cheng Wanli, it's no wonder that you can cure Dong Ping if you are so cowardly, if this continues, not only your whole family will die, but even the people of Dongping Mansion will suffer, and you should definitely continue to suffer from it.
Alas, if a good man does his best to send Buddha to the west, Dong Ping will let him come.
Dong Ping was very satisfied with Cheng Wanli's attitude, and made further progress, "My lord, if the general makes great achievements in the future, I hope you can make Miss..."
Cheng Wanli knew that he was going to ask Yingying to marry him. It's not like he didn't do this before. In fact, Dong Ping formally mentioned it to him twice, but he refused.
He really didn't want to hear Dong Ping say it for the third time, so he immediately covered his head and leaned back.
Everyone around came to help Cheng Wanli, and there was chaos. Dong Ping didn't finish his sentence after all.
Humph, this old bastard, come here again, I want to see how long you can delay, if you stop me, if you push me, I will make mature rice with Yingying raw rice, see if you can recruit My son-in-law.
Gao Ming winked at Hua Rong, and the two of them made room for the rescuers, and stood aside, only to see Dong Ping just standing on the side watching coldly, obviously knowing that Cheng Wanli was also pretending to be sick, and then turned to Gao Ming. He Huarong showed an evil smile.
It's okay to say it's a provocation, or it's okay to say it's a show of favor, but it's just a crooked mouth.
Gao Ming also smiled at Dong Ping, then pulled Hua Rong aside, "I have an idea, it depends on whether you agree or not, it doesn't matter if you agree or not."
Although Dong Ping didn't finish what he said just now, what has been said is enough for Huarong Lenovo to understand the ins and outs.
Dong Ping likes Miss Cheng, but Cheng Wanli doesn't want to see him, so he wants to marry his daughter to Gao Ming or him to avoid Dong Ping's entanglement.
If it was before, when Hua Rong heard that Gao Ming had a plan, he would have agreed without even thinking about it, but now he said vigilantly: "You don't want to be a good person and help the Cheng family solve their problems, right?"
Gao Ming nodded, "I want to save Miss Cheng."
Hua Rong snorted, "You're so kind! When did you arrange the wine and finish the wedding?"
"I said to help her, but I didn't say to marry her." Gao Ming sensed his displeasure, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you so disgusted?"
Hua Rong was stunned for a moment, as if he was caught by the question, he shook his head, and said: "I just find it troublesome, being caught up in other people's affairs, and delaying our itinerary. However, if you have a plan to cut the mess quickly, I will not be opposed to."
Gao Ming smiled, "It really is."
-
Cheng Wanli suddenly fell ill. After sending him back to his bedroom, he asked a doctor to see him.
Cheng Wanli was not ill at all, so he pretended to wake up, and dismissed the doctor with a few casual words.
When everyone was gone, he pulled the quilt over, hid in the quilt, and kept pulling his hair.
If it doesn't work, he can only poison Dong Ping to death by setting up a Hongmen banquet, but no matter how powerful the magistrate is, he can't poison his subordinates to death irresponsible.
It would be impossible to hide if he applied for a transfer. Without the prefect's power, Dong Ping dared to do anything.
The terrible thing is that Gao Ming and Hua Rong's visit to Dongping Mansion this time has already stimulated Dong Ping, and he has to be more cautious when looking for Yingying's husband's house.
It is really difficult to find a person of the right age, high position and weight, outstanding ability and able to suppress Dong Ping.
Why are Gao Ming and Hua Rong not attracted to Yingying?What happened to them? !
Just when she was so worried that she was about to fall ill, the servant girl outside said: "My lord, Gao Zhifu is back again, and I want to see you."
Upon hearing Gao Ming's arrival, Cheng Wanli sat up abruptly, "Ask him to come in."
Gao Ming walked in with his head held high, and straight to the point, he said, "You are so afraid of Dong Ping."
Cheng Wanli couldn't help laughing, "What are you talking about? It's funny. How could I be afraid of my generals?" Seeing Gao Ming look at him coldly, his eyes clearly understood everything, Cheng Wanli couldn't hold back any longer and almost cried Out loud, "You have also seen his ability and temper!"
He was too obvious today, a person like Gao Ming must have seen it clearly, and there is no point in hiding it.
"Just now I heard him mention the word Miss. Could it be that he wants to be your son-in-law?" Gao Ming said, "However, it's really not a good choice for such a person to be your son-in-law."
Whether he is a son-in-law or not, he can't stay. He was a general who was supposed to guard a city. When he was captured alive, he turned around and surrendered to the enemy. His character is evident.
Cheng Wanli walked to the side of the bed, grabbed Gao Ming's arm and said, "I know you have the ability to subdue Mengzhou's fierce generals with ease. You can teach me how to deal with Dong Ping. You can't keep him! Believe me , really can't stay!"
When Cheng Wanli thought of the horrible scene in the future, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Gao Ming said: "You are the magistrate, it is not easy to deal with him? Set a trap for him to take advantage of, such as keeping him in the house, and there will be a thief in the night mansion at night, and he goes out to catch him, you send someone to arrest him, saying that he stole it." , distributed to remote state capitals."
"And then, wait for him to come back and kill my whole family?" Cheng Wanli has a lot of research on Wu Song's bloody murder case, and the set mentioned above is Zhang Dujian's method of framing Wu Song.
It is very difficult to put a person to death legally. The current popular method is to first find a reason to send the person to prison, and then do it on the way to distribution.
But with Dong Ping's character, he will definitely not obediently go to assassinate the ground like Lin Chong and Wu Song did the first time. He should have killed the escort's tolerance that night, and then killed Cheng Wanli when he came back to kill Cheng Wanli and kidnap Cheng Yingying.
Wu Song had already performed the operation of destroying the door. Dong Ping held two guns, and his combat effectiveness was by no means inferior to Wu Song. It is estimated that Cheng Wanli's family could be killed as clean as Zhang Dujian.
Gao Ming pretended to be thinking, "That will be difficult."
Cheng Wanli said urgently: "I know you are quick-witted, help me! Help me find a way to get rid of Dong Ping. Help me—"
"That's what you said."
"I said it!" Cheng Wanli was really afraid of Dong Ping, and said in a daze: "Or let's have a Hongmen banquet, and put some ingredients in the wine..."
Seeing that he was about to lose his mind, Gao Ming comforted him, "Actually, I have a plan here."
Cheng Wanli wiped away his tears, "Say what you say."
"Today you just saw that Dong Ping's martial arts are good, but my friend Hua Rong's is not bad either. In a real fight, if you call for a helper, it's easy to kill Dong Ping. Even if you don't have a helper, Dong Ping doesn't dare to make a mistake easily." " Gao Ming said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, Hua Rong had a fiancée before, but when he heard that Hua Rong messed with the Taiwei's House, he divorced his family. Of course, it was all a misunderstanding. But anyway, I owe him a daughter-in-law, so I am willing to match him with your daughter, so that he will have a wife and your daughter will be protected, what do you think?"
Isn't this the idea Cheng Wanli had at the beginning, but he could see that Hua Rong was very cold, "But isn't your friend unwilling?"
The main reason was that his daughter didn't want to either, she was very stubborn, she was very much like her deceased mother, thinking of his deceased wife, Cheng Wanli suffered again, his wife passed away and left behind a daughter, but he couldn't protect her well.
"Then let him be willing!" Gao Ming said with a smile: "Heroes save the beauty, and God-given marriage, there is no reason not to accept it. My plan is this, isn't it the Chinese New Year, and I must go to temples and Taoist temples to pray for blessings. At that time, you send a few policemen to pretend to be bad guys and kidnap Miss on the way, and then Hua Rong and I will be behind. Let me promise, it's wonderful that Hua Rong embraces the beauty."
Cheng Wanli also thought it was very good, "But... this plan is still dangerous, I'm afraid Yingying will be shocked. Can I use a nun to rob her?"
"..." Gao Ming hated iron for being weak, "They are all arrests from your yamen, what are you afraid of, can they not listen to you?"
It's hard to say in the army, but the policeman's obedience to him is fine, Cheng Wanli is still worried, "I'm afraid that Yingying will be surprised..."
Gao Ming reckoned that he was such a foresight and hesitant temperament, he cherished his daughter, and refused to agree to Dong Ping's marriage proposal, but because he was afraid, he didn't dare to deal with Dong Ping. Cheng Yingying defected to Liangshan.
"Forget it, I will leave Dongping Mansion for Qingzhou tomorrow, so you can rest."
"Slow, wait! It's indeed a good idea!" Cheng Wanli hurriedly said, "Then let's discuss the specific details."
"The plan doesn't change quickly. There's no need to plan. It's just this matter. When you make arrangements, Huarong and I will go to pilgrimage with you. Hurry up, I'll be leaving for at most two days." After finishing speaking, he left Cheng Wanli with a cheerful back, and went out the door humming a little tune.
-
Cheng Yingying heard that Hua Rong had a tie with Dong Ping in today's martial arts performance at the school, and she became even more frowning. Couldn't Hua Rong, whose father kept praising her before, defeat Dong Ping?
She sighed and read the book absent-mindedly.
She came to Dongping Mansion with her father. On the day of her arrival, she got out of the carriage, and the wind blew up her gauze hat, allowing Dong Ping to see her appearance. After that, Dong Ping set his sights on her and proposed marriage twice.
She didn't like Dong Ping very much, and his eyes made her uncomfortable.
At this time, she heard a click at the door, as if something had landed on the ground, and she looked at the servant girl Wenxue.
Wenxue understood and opened the door immediately, but there was no one outside the door, but there was a ball of paper.
Miss likes to be clean, there is no debris in the yard, let alone garbage at the door, Wenxue opened the ball of paper, saw the words written on it, and said deliberately: "This is the waste paper thrown by the small official in the front yard, it was blown by the wind. Are you here yet?"
As the personal maid of the official daughter, she is literate, otherwise she would not be able to sort out the manuscripts for the lady on weekdays.
Pretending to straighten the ball of paper, at this time, she has already seen everything written on it.
Although I don't know who wrote it, the person reminded the lady in the letter that the magistrate Cheng would let the government servants pretend to be robbers to kidnap the lady during the pilgrimage tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then let Hua Rong come to rescue and match them up.
"Oh, miss, this doesn't seem to be waste paper!" Wenxue hurriedly walked up to Cheng Yingying, "Look."
When Cheng Yingying saw the above words, her face changed, and she said angrily, "Father is really messing around!"
If it was three-match and six-hiring, and her father took a fancy to him, she would not reject her, she just resented her father's lack of restraint, and sent her to other men in a hurry.
Wenxue tried to suggest, "Let's pretend to be sick. You don't have to go if you pretend to be sick. Their scheme will not succeed."
Cheng Yingying has a strong temper, "Why don't you go, I want to go, I will not mess up when the time comes, and I have to expose their plan face to face! Teach them to teach them a lesson, and they will not dare to do this next time, otherwise my father will definitely fail and have another one." Count, never stop."
Wenxue echoed, "Yes, Miss is right!"
From an angle that Cheng Yingying couldn't see, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Tell Dong Dujian about this, he must think she is capable.
-
When Shi Qian entered the house, Gao Ming was surrounding the charcoal basin to keep warm, while Hua Rong was adjusting the bowstring beside him.
Gao Ming took the initiative to ask: "Is it finished?"
"En!" Shi Qian nodded, "I threw the ball of paper in front of Miss Cheng's door, and asked a maid to pick it up. According to my observation, that maid was Wenxue, so she couldn't be wrong. It was her. Dong Ping secretly met in private."
Gao Ming looked at Hua Rong, "Is there no problem tomorrow?"
"Nothing is lost."
If someone else made such a promise, Gao Ming would put a question mark in his heart, but the other party was Hua Rong, so Gao Ming firmly believed, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing hard, I just want to solve these bad things as soon as possible and leave Dongping Mansion as soon as possible. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable staying here."
Gao Ming guessed: "Is it because the climate is not acclimatized?"
"Is this the use of acclimatization?" But Huarong couldn't think of any other reason, so let's just think, "Maybe."
