"I will not change my ways. I am a foolish person. The reason why I have been able to go smoothly till now is thanks to your Majesty's support."

"Since Your Majesty has a keen eye and can distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, why should I change my ways? If you want to do it, just be yourself!" Fang Zheng lamented.

Emperor Jing pointed at him, shook his head and said with a smile: "You, you should keep your mouth quiet in front of all the officials."

Fang Zheng smiled secretly in his heart.

Haha, although I haven't slept for two days, our business is always online!

What kind of emperor and father-in-law can still handle it!

"First of all, tell me what you went through?"

Fang Zheng took two deep breaths of fresh air, regained his energy, and said slowly: "After I was taken away by the King of Wu, he forced me to get the formula of gunpowder. I had a stalemate with him for two days, and then my guards came to rescue me.

minister."

"Although the process was extremely dangerous, fortunately I was lucky and Qiao Zhuang escaped by dressing up as one of King Wu's men."

"Later, I accidentally lost my way in the mountains and arrived at Yuding City."

"The King of Wu once told me that the boat he was riding on was built by a family in Yuding City. I suspected that local officials had collusion with the King of Wu. He concealed his identity and stayed in Yuding City to find out the matter. However, after my investigation

The local officials of the Ming Dynasty did not know anything about King Wu’s rebellion.”

"Later, people from Dongchang found me, and he came back. This is the general story."

Emperor Jing thought for a moment and asked: "What's the inside story of the salt merchant case? How did the fourth child hide it from the truth after accumulating it for so long?"

"Your Majesty, the King of Wu can be said to be very ambitious. He started planning this matter when the two countries were at war! The private salt network has spread all over the south, and this false account has been created since then."

"He and Zhang Shi are working together, so it's normal that no clues can be found."

"In addition, the King of Wu also played a certain role in the defeat of the Qian Kingdom. The proliferation of illegal salt also had a considerable impact within the Qian Kingdom. Moreover, the King of Wu also planned the accidental death of the Emperor of the Qian Kingdom."

A trace of shock flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes, and he murmured: "The fourth child is so far-sighted... Is he also responsible for this?"

Fang Zhengyi took out a memorial from his pocket, handed it over and said, "Your Majesty, I cannot describe it all at the moment. The details have been written in it. Please read it."

Emperor Jing took the memorial and nodded, still feeling a little unbelievable: "I didn't expect... I really didn't expect it, I will take a closer look. In addition, I have already guessed that Zhang Shi will be in contact with him, so I have ordered people to monitor him in advance.

stand up."

"Jinyiwei has now set up a yamen. The North and South Town Fusi are responsible for guard discipline and case investigation. I have selected some martial arts officers and they have already taken office."

"We are still short of manpower, so you can just choose some good people to join the Jinyiwei. I will send someone to send you the specific regulations."

"And you want...Fang Qing, Fang Qing?"

While Emperor Jing was speaking, Fang Zhengyi had already fallen asleep on a chair with his head tilted.

I haven't eaten or slept for two days, and I have reached my limit by now.

Looking at his sleeping appearance, Emperor Jing smiled helplessly and sighed to Guo Tianyang:

"Fang Qing is dedicated to his life and is a model for a courtier. At this age, he is full of energy. It seems that this trip has really exhausted him."

"Send him to bed, and when he wakes up, let him go back to Taoyuan County to rest for two days before coming back to see me. I will give him another reward then."

.....

By the time Fang Zheng woke up from his sleep, it was already the next morning.

I had a restful and refreshing sleep.

But when I woke up, I found that I was in the East Palace, and my clothes had been changed.

Li Yuanzhao was not in the East Palace, maybe he had gone out. Fortunately, he left the palace maid behind to inform him of the news and bring him breakfast.

After breakfast, the carriage and horses had already been prepared, and Fang Zheng rushed straight to his home in the capital.

Menzi immediately showed surprise when he saw Fang Zheng come back, and was about to go back to report, but was stopped by Fang Zheng in time.

When we entered the courtyard, we first saw Xiao Tao sitting beside the stone bench, bored.

He held his chin in one hand and fanned slowly and leisurely with a small fan in the other hand. His lazy look was somewhat similar to Fang Zhengyi's.

As if she felt someone approaching, Xiao Tao turned around and saw Fang Zhengyi with a smile on his face.

At first glance, I was stunned.

Fog slowly accumulated in his eyes, and then he stood up and suddenly rushed towards Fang Zheng.

With the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, Fang Zheng chuckled and said, "What's wrong, someone at home is bullying you? By the way, shouldn't you be in the county?"

Xiao Tao said in a muffled voice: "You didn't know you were coming back, but you didn't write a letter home. Our people came back yesterday, and someone said you had entered the palace. I took Zhang Biao and the others back to pick you up."

Fang Zheng pushed her away gently and said, "Okay, I'll go home and rest for two days, pack up and go back."

Xiaotao wiped away her tears and nodded obediently.

"A lot of things happened in the county. King Wu sent people to attack our county. We used gunpowder. I'm afraid we can't hide it, but no one else knows about it yet."

Fang Zhengyi touched her head with pity and said, "I understand, these are small things. I will take care of them later. Where is Zhang Biao?"

"Master, I'm here!" A thick voice sounded.

As soon as Fang Zheng cast his gaze, he saw several people already standing at the moon gate of the yard.

Zhang Biao, Luo Ningxin and a woman who looks familiar

Good guy, Brother Biao is thicker again. It looks like he has been training his muscles a lot!

There was a familiar woman beside Zhang Biao. She was leaning next to Zhang Biao with a shy look on her face, her belly was slightly bulging, and she was holding a dumbbell in her hand.

Fu bowed and said, "I've met Mr. Fang."

Luo Ningxin walked over, leaned into Fang Zheng's ear, and breathed out like a blue: "Master, you are finally back. That is Sister Chun, have you forgotten?"

"She kept asking me to help her contact Brother Biao, so I did. She is pregnant now. Master, I..."

Listening to Luo Ning's soft and charming voice, Fang Zhengyi's heart was tickled.

But now is not the time to talk about this matter, but Zhang Biao's getting married surprised him even more: "It's not been a year since I left, and you're already getting married?"

"You're not married. Master, why have you been away for so long this time? I'm afraid you'll die outside." Zhang Biao smiled naively, turning his head to see Sister Chun's face turning serious again: "What are you doing here? Why don't you give it to me?"

Go train some muscles?!"

Sister Chun flattened her mouth in grievance and walked away carrying the dumbbells.

Fang Zhengyi's mouth slowly opened wide and he said in shock, "You fucking let pregnant women train their muscles?"

Zhang Biao approached and said seriously: "You have to practice, otherwise I won't give birth to a weakling."

"..." Fang Zhengyi looked at Zhang Biao blankly: "Did you get pregnant because you didn't get married?"

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, young master." Zhang Biao said blankly: "If you don't get married, can't you make someone else's belly bigger?"

In the yard, Xiao Tao looked at Zhang Biao with disdain.

"Oh my God." Fang Zheng covered his head and felt a headache: "You haven't got any of this moral blood in me, right? So you're not going to take responsibility?"

"Ah... I have to be responsible. I can't just find one. It's more convenient to find a few more to marry together."

"..."

Unable to communicate, ordinary people like Fang Zhengyi always find it difficult to understand Brother Biao's strong thinking and logic.

After struggling for a while, he stopped thinking about it. He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to worry when I come back. Clean up and let's go back to Taoyuan first!"
