Gu Chongyi glanced at the map on the wall, and the map was half-covered. If people who are not familiar with the coast should not understand where the map refers to.

Next to the map is a sketch of the warship, but the warship only has a small corner. People who have to know the coast and ships can still see it clearly.

Their conversation in the study only said that they had submitted a memorial to the court and asked the court to slow down the sea, and did not mention any matters related to maps and ships.

Only those who have ghosts in their hearts will think of the meaning of this map and warship.

Gu Chongyi waited for a moment, and the manager came in and reported: "It was Qiu Hai brought by Mrs. Zhang."

Gu Chongyi breathed a sigh of relief and even praised Wei Yuanchen in his heart. He was really surprised by Wei Yuanchen. As long as he stared at Qiu Hai, he would gain a lot.

The manager stepped down and Gu Chongyi looked at Cui Zhen: "This Qiu Hai was the accompanying room brought by Mrs. Shen from Zhang to the Zhang family. He once studied in the Shen family's school..."

Ge Zhenning and Cui Zhen and Gu Chongyi in the room were both trusted, and they needed their help next, so Gu Chongyi speculated that Qiu Hai might be a pirate.

Ge Zhenning said: "No wonder you asked me to bring a sketch of the warship."

Although Cui Zhen didn't know much about the ins and outs of it, he can now figure out that there is really something wrong with the Zhang family, and the Zhang family may still be an important role.

Cui Zhen said: "After I came back from Shanxi, Cui Wei asked me to visit Tan Dingfang." In fact, Tan Dingfang, the Minister of War, has been trying to win him over the years.

At first he thought Tan Dingfang was the emperor's confidant. If Tan Dingfang and the Zhang family were both doing things for the people behind the scenes, it would make sense. One was in the open and the other was in the dark. The purpose was to restrain him and get the troops stationed in Datong.

There is Lin Sizhen in the northwest, Tan Dingfang in the Daning area, and his garrison in Shanxi, the entire northern border fell into the hands of that person.

Now, with the coastal navy, we already have the strength to compete with the court.

Cui Zhen was silent for a moment and said, "I will go back to the mansion and check the Zhang family carefully. At that time, the Zhang family will inevitably panic. After planning for so long, they will inevitably panic and will reveal more flaws."

Without further ado, the sooner it is, the better it is for them.

...

Cui Zhen walked out of the study and went all the way to Zou Lin's yard. The original intention was to say a few words to Zou Lin. Zou Lin raised his child and worked a lot, but now Zou Lin fell ill and was not too long to thank him.

Cui Zhen was thinking, and saw a small figure sending the doctor out. The child was facing him, but soon Zou Xiang turned his head and refused to look at him, as if he hadn't seen him.

General Zou Xiang sent the doctor out of the yard, turned around and returned to the house, and closed the door heavily.

Cui Zhen seemed to see himself resenting his mother. He did not walk forward, but turned around and left the garden.

Zou Xiang stood on the bench and watched the tall figure go further and further through the window, holding his hands tightly. Although his adoptive mother told Cui Zhen about his identity, he did not want to have any relationship with Cui Zhen. He would not go to the Dingning Marquis Mansion, nor did he call Cui Zhen's father, and he would not bow to Cui Zhen even if he died.

...

Mrs. Zhang heard the manager send a message: "The Marquis is back home first."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned and stood up from the soft collapse at a loss: "Why, is there something urgent in the house?"

The manager shook his head to show that he didn't know.

"This child," Mrs. Lin couldn't help but say, "How come you leave me before you."

After saying this, Mrs. Lin comforted Mrs. Zhang: "Don't worry, I'll ask the manager to give you it. Next time I see Brother Zhen, I will scold him."

Mrs. Zhang could no longer sit still and bowed to Mrs. Lin and said goodbye: "I'll go back and take a look, otherwise I won't be at ease." As she said that, she took a look at Gu Mingzhu intentionally.

Zhuzhu was making tea with his servants, and there was no obvious sign of anything on his face.

Mrs. Zhang's heart was beating, and she wanted to keep up with Cui Zhen's footsteps immediately.

Shen also stood up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Lin sent the two people out of the door. Mrs. Zhang walked quickly and quickly, and Shen could hardly keep up: "You are a double-body person now, so you should not walk like this..."

Before Shen could finish his words, Mrs. Zhang grabbed Shen's wrist: "Sister-in-law, I feel a little confused. Why don't you go back with me to see what happened?"

Although Shen didn't know what was going on, looking at Mrs. Zhang's panicked expression, he nodded in his heart and said, "Okay, then I'll send you back to the Marquis' Mansion first."

Mrs. Zhang got on the carriage with Shen. Qiu Hai, who was following the carriage, told Shen: "I will go back and report to the master first, so as not to be anxious."

Shen nodded and the carriage galloped forward.

Qiu Hai watched the carriage gradually drift away, and walked out of the alley quickly. Gu Hou hung a map of the Shandong sea in his study. The map pointed to a shipyard opened by the imperial court, and next to the map was a large ship structure map, which was the warship they used.

How could such a coincidence be? Did Gu Hou and Cui Zhen know that they used the imperial shipyard to build warships?

He wanted to report the news to the master immediately, and Qiu Hai thought about speeding up.

...

Gu Mingzhu helped Mrs. Lin back to the house, and then told Mrs. Lin carefully about Zou Xiang's life experience. Mrs. Lin came to her senses after a while. She didn't expect Zou Xiang's experience to be so bumpy. No wonder Zou Lin was unwilling to let Zou Xiang recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown.

Mrs. Lin said: "You were doing this just now?"

Gu Mingzhu nodded and said, "My daughter heard what the clan aunt said with her own ears."

Mrs. Lin's eyes turned red: "Brother Zhen is such a sin." She wanted to see Zou Lin, but when she heard Zhuzhu say that Zou Lin was weak and needed rest, she had to give up.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Mother should take a break after working hard for a day. When the aunt of the clan is getting better tomorrow, mother will ask if she is in a hurry."

Mrs. Lin nodded, and finally Cui Zhen knew everything. When she went back and found out, she could give Zou Xiang’s mother justice.

Gu Mingzhu was lying on the soft collapse while holding Mrs. Lin murmured: "I can't tell that Zhang is so cruel." She just now felt pity for Zhang from the bottom of her heart, hoping that Zhang's fetus would be smooth.

Looking back on the impression Zhang left on her over the years, Mrs. Lin said: "Is this really what Zhang did?"

Gu Mingzhu waited until her mother fell asleep and left the main house with Baotong and arranged everything, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe he suddenly relaxed, Gu Mingzhu felt a pain on her shoulder, which was the place where she was hit by a stone.

Baotong saw the clue: "Are the lady injured? I just knew..."

Gu Mingzhu nodded to Baotong: "It's not a big deal, just use some medicinal wine."

Baotong dared not delay: "I will go and get the medicinal wine now."
