Chapter 1528: Arrest
Fang Xing never thought of himself as a fortune teller, so after being rejected by Zhu Gaochi, he didn't feel much disappointed.
"Your Majesty needs balance, but warriors are too dazzling, so it's as simple as that, you are thinking too much."
After Xie Jin left the officialdom for a long time, his thinking became clearer.
"Without warriors, who will defend Daming? Who will defend His Majesty? Who will defend the imperial family?"
Xie Jin said slowly: "The matter of Ma Sheng is just a temptation by Yang Rong and the others. If Cheng is weak, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. At least they know what His Majesty means, and they will just find a way to do it next time."
"They won't stop."
Xie Jin put on a teaching style and said: "Don't underestimate your current majesty. He has been dormant for many years. He has thought of everything he can think of, and he has thought of what you didn't expect. So, be quiet and stay calm."
Huang Zhong also persuaded: "Uncle, don't worry about this matter. Although the Northern Expedition has won a great victory, the army has also lost its strength, and it's time to recuperate for a while."
Fang Xing let out a breath, nodded and said: "Yes! I haven't sorted out the things that need to be compensated until now, so it's time to rest."
Xie Jin Fuxu smiled and said: "The old man of the academy also told them to go out and talk less, so as not to give others an opportunity. After His Majesty has passed this time, he should make a difference."
Huang Zhong agreed: "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, government orders have been issued frequently, and he has a demeanor of innovation and elimination of disadvantages. It can be seen that he is not just thinking about success."
Fang Xing returned to the backyard and smiled when he saw Tudou and Ping An sneaking behind.
I wanted not to follow, but once my father's curiosity popped up, it began to overflow uncontrollably.
Fang Xing sneaked along all the way, seeing the two children pushing open the back garden door with an oiled paper bag, he felt depressed.
Where can I peek?
Not long after, Fang Xing found a wooden ladder, and then quietly climbed to the top of the wall.
In the garden, the two children walked up to a small soil bag, and Potato opened the oil-paper bag, put it in front of the soil bag, and said, "Ling Ding, you like to eat bones. These are freshly stewed by Hua Niang. They are still hot. Eat them quickly." Bar."
Ping An leaned over and sent the still steaming bones forward, and said dully, "Bell, both big and small bugs are fine."
The two children squatted on the ground slowly. For them, Bell was a member of the family. And Bell's departure let them know what parting is.
Fang Xing quietly got down the wooden ladder, went to find Zhang Shuhui and Xiao Bai, and told about it.
"The children were too carefree before, Bell... Bell's departure made them mature."
When Fang Xing returned home and learned the time of Ling Dang's departure, he couldn't help feeling sad,
After the bell was gone, it was not discarded. Zhang Shuhui asked people to bury it in the garden. The whole family believed that the bell would always be there and guard Fangjiazhuang.
Xiaobai said: "Ping An doesn't like to cry very much. After the bell went, I found him hiding under the quilt and crying at least three times."
Zhang Shuhui's eyes became more sentimental, and she said: "Tudou cried more. Those few days when I ate, I cried while eating."
Fang Xing saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the law. The bell is gone, but there are still big bugs and little bugs. It is passed down from generation to generation. This is life."
"Wow……"
At this time, there was a worry-free cry, and Fang Xing rushed in, so fast that Zhang Shuhui and Xiao Bai didn't react at all.
"Worriless, baby is awake? Hahahaha!"
...
Life and death are always intertwined. People die in Beiping every day, but there are also new people every day.
Cao Laoer felt that he was dying.
As a small official in the Ministry of Rites, Cao Laoer's life is neither good nor bad, and he barely maintains it.
If this trend continues, he will probably live his life like this, without any grandeur, no promotion, and just finish his life in a mediocre way.
But since the day before yesterday, Cao Er Er has run away.
Yes, he disappeared from the Ministry of Rites,
Disappeared from Peking City.
At this moment, he is hiding in an abandoned temple more than 30 miles outside the city.
No one has been here for a long time, and there are few people around, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated.
Cao Laoer crawled in from behind and did not dare to leave footprints in front.
His thin face was full of panic. In the sweltering temple, Cao Er Er shivered as if he was in the winter wilderness.
The front door has been sealed by him, but there is a gap at the back, and he has been listening to the movement outside.
"I want to escape and go to the north, no matter if it's Halle or Roumiguo, it doesn't matter."
Cao Laoer has been here all day, he took out a piece of stewed meat from his bag, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
After eating half of it, he put away the stewed meat, and then leaned against the back of the Buddha statue to take a nap.
After an unknown amount of time, Cao Er Er felt chills all over his body. He opened his eyes, threw himself sideways, and looked at the gate from the side of the Buddha statue.
"No one! It's dangerous!"
Having just had a nightmare, he was covered in cold sweat, got up and said to himself: "I can't stay here anymore, hurry up and leave."
...
"Are you sure he's in there?"
Wang Yan looked at the abandoned temple more than two hundred steps ahead and asked.
"Yes my lord."
A scout in plain clothes said: "We interviewed many people, and they all said that they saw a thin man coming here. Later, the brothers found the footprints."
"It is said that there was a ghost here, and no one came here afterwards. Cao Laoer drank water in the pool over there and left footprints."
Wang Yan said, "Where are the people from Dongchang?"
"My lord, the people from Dongchang are more than three miles behind us, and they are still asking questions at those farmers' homes. I guess they will come over soon."
Wang Yan nodded, and ordered: "Then do it, be careful, don't let him commit suicide."
Several men standing behind him quietly touched it.
...
Cao Laoer opened the back door, looked left and right, and then tiptoed out.
Ahead was a wasteland with scattered trees.
Cao Lao Er regretted that he chose to hide here. He walked to the left close to the base of the wall, and when he got to the end, he poked his head out...
A big hand suddenly hooked his neck, and then pulled him along with the trend, pulling him over.
"Help……"
Two big men blocked his mouth with rags, one of them took a piece of paper, compared it, and said, "That's him!"
"Walk!"
...
Half an hour later, Wei Qing rushed into the temple with a dozen people.
In the dusty sky, Wei Qing tried his best to check the situation.
"My lord, there seems to be no one."
A fan said with a dry cough.
Wei Qing strode over, pointed to the back of the Buddha statue and said, "There are people, and there are still chicken bones, Mr. Cao has been here."
Another fan came over, picked up the chicken bones on the ground, inspected them carefully, and said, "My lord, this bone was eaten today."
Wei Qing opened the back door and glanced outside.
"My lord, there are traces of fighting here!"
Wei Qing walked to the side, squatted there, pointed to the ground and said, "Look, my lord, these footprints are very fresh, they should be stepped on just now."
"Someone started before us, who is it?"
