The second largest restaurant in the Imperial City.
Inside the Accord box on the sixth floor.
A richly dressed man looked quietly at the street below, taking in everything going on on the street.
There were several people standing beside him.
"Your Highness, Marquis Zhonglie, with his actions these days, it is obvious that he does not take the Daqian royal family seriously."
They saw with their own eyes that the Zheng family members acted as if there were no one else around. The carriage driver occupied the road and passed unimpeded all the way to the prison, until the moment when the Zhonglie Marquis suddenly put on a snow-white mink fur cloak.
I have to say that that action was truly magnificent and had the appearance of a rich man.
Today, for some unknown reason, Fugui Building closed its doors to thank customers and closed for the day.
But the eldest prince was sitting here.
There was a sumptuous table of side dishes on the table, paired with fine wine, but looking at the dishes and the decorations, it was obvious that few of them had used their chopsticks.
"well."
The eldest prince sighed softly: "I originally thought that Marquis Zhonglie was born in the Zhonglie family, knew how to judge the situation, had been in business for many years, and had a smooth temperament. But I didn't expect that he was a fierce horse that was difficult to tame."
"It seems that he just sent someone to apply for a pardon from the emperor, and he was released from prison for three days. But in fact, Zhongliehou's move has a deeper meaning, and he is playing games with me and others from a distance."
"First, my father decided to establish the heir apparent on March 3rd. He must have had his reasons, but Marquis Zhonglie took this opportunity to test his father's attitude. There is a huge difference between whether my father was right or not."
"Secondly, he is telling us that the Minister of Punishment is also like him and does not want to be involved in the fight between our royal bloodlines and is neutral."
"As for the third one," the eldest prince smiled slightly, holding a half-black and half-white chess piece with distinct colors in his palm, and said, "He seems to want to say, as long as Father doesn't stop us, the three of us will be able to watch the Heavenly Prison." The prince's face...hehe, he can do whatever he wants, and none of us can contain this fierce tiger."
When several people behind the eldest prince heard this, their expressions were not angry, and they said: "Why does the Holy One favor him so much? Is the Holy One also afraid of the hidden sect master of the Zheng family?"
The eldest prince smiled and looked back at his subordinates.
The subordinate was frightened and realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and slapped his mouth: "I should be damned if I presume to speculate on His Majesty's will."
"It doesn't matter, there are no outsiders here. If you go outside and gossip about your father, even if you say one more word, you will be punished by death."
The eldest prince nodded, but he said: "The emperor's heart is unpredictable. My father seems to favor Marquis Zhonglie very much, but these days the common people are singing about the achievements of General Zheng in the past. Is there something..." The eldest prince smiled even more: "Have you surpassed your master in meritorious service?"
…
Baizhen Tower.
The third largest restaurant in the Imperial City.
The second prince stood on the edge of the corridor and looked at the bustling avenue from a distance. The Zheng family happily welcomed Marquis Zhonglie.
The people watching cheered and applauded.
The second prince gritted his teeth and his eyes were about to burst: "Marquis Zhonglie, do you really think that everyone in the imperial family is so kind-hearted? You underestimate my father and my cunning brother!"
"Zhongliehou, Zhongliehou, you actually mobilized public opinion to make the world remember Zheng Haoran's reputation again! I'm afraid you are not playing with fire and getting burned!"
"You really think my father is such a kind and soft-hearted person?"
"If my father was truly merciful, there would be no issue of establishing the crown prince on March 3rd!"
"You originally thought that the Sanbu Gang would be of greatest benefit to your Zheng family, but you are not a member of the royal family, and you don't know the thoughts of the royal family! If you are not using them, they must be eliminated! You are trying to stand against our three brothers!"
The second prince murmured to himself, with a stern expression in his eyes.
…
in the crowd.
A short young man, wrapped in a gray robe, hid in the crowd, looking with bright eyes at the wealthy young man wearing a mink fur cloak.
"Hehe... You are indeed Marquis Zhonglie! My two good brothers must be very angry now!"
"He is secretly asking my father whether he will intervene or not when our three brothers are fighting for the right to be the heirs."
"However, although the Zheng family is big, the cards in the hands of the eldest brother and the second brother are not small. We will fight to the end and see who can endure it the most!"
No one knows.
The three princes, who were about to fight to the death without any weapon, had been secretly paying attention to the news here.
They have different thoughts.
Zheng Xiu's release from prison seems to be just a rare and ordinary case of amnesty. However, at this time when there are only three months left before the ancestor worship ceremony, it seems to have become a signal for the Zheng family to express its stance, affecting many people overtly and covertly.
The thoughts of few people.
In addition to the three princes, many people learned that Marquis Zhonglie was pardoned today and Dai Zui was released from prison to observe in secret.
"ah--"
The crows of crows were heard high in the sky.
The flock of ravens circling freely in the sky suddenly separated into a broad road.
The road in front of Zheng Xiu continued forward. The sky was so clean that only a vast expanse of fine snow remained, and not a single raven was flying!
A tall figure, holding a shivering orange cat in his arms, came through the snow.
The sudden change should have cheered up Qing Shisan and the others, but when they saw it, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out to be Fengbei.
That’s okay!
Who doesn't know now that Fengbei is close to his Zheng family.
No, maybe some people don't know.
But after today, who can’t help but know?
Feng Bei stepped forward step by step, snowflakes fell on his shoulders, but Feng Bei didn't notice it and just hugged the orange cat tightly in his arms.
But she didn't seem to notice that the tighter she hugged her, the more the orange cat in her arms trembled, became more frightened, and felt panicked.
"Ye Weiyang, string three, Feng Bei." Feng Bei calmly raised his head: "Entrusted by others..."
"Okay, okay!" Qing Shisan waved to Fengbei enthusiastically: "Miss Fengbei, we are all one of our own, don't be so outspoken every time we meet, it will be misunderstood! Let's go, let's go, let's go
! Our master is waiting for you, let’s go together!”
Feng Bei was a little overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm.
She hasn't finished speaking yet.
She wanted to make it clear that the purpose of her trip was not because of Lord Zheng, but because of the entrustment of her old friend.
Unexpectedly, everyone in the Zheng family seemed to regard Feng Bei as one of them. After Qing Shisan finished speaking, he ignored Feng Bei.
Zheng Xiu bowed his head and walked out, bowing to Feng Bei. At this moment, he was not sure whether Feng Bei recognized him or not, so he could only say vaguely: "Ahem, thank you very much. Zheng is very grateful, and I can't say anything."
"
Feng Bei nodded, not paying attention.
In fact, she has been secretly paying attention to the Zheng family since she knew that Zheng Shan was Zheng Haoran's younger brother.
When she became a member of Ye Weiyang, she investigated the Zheng family. She later discovered that Zheng Haoran's orphan didn't seem to know about Zheng Shan's existence, so she had no choice but to give up and never interacted with the Zheng family again.
It was not until later that the child who looked exactly like Zheng Shan appeared that the Zheng family came into Feng Bei's sight again.
Even when Zheng Xiu turned his head, Feng Bei inadvertently saw the facial features of the richest man Zheng and frowned.
Zheng Xiu's face reminded her of Zheng Shan.
"Do all members of the Zheng family look so similar?"
Feng Bei thought to himself, but did not show any strangeness on his face. He quietly kept a distance from the Zheng family and followed at the end.
"walk home!"
After meeting Feng Bei, Zheng Xiuru took reassurance.
He cannot use any abilities outside the prison, but Feng Bei's ominous hands are invincible. He can destroy anyone he sees. With Feng Bei here, no matter what accident happens, Zheng Xiu can be extremely calm.
At the same time, Feng Bei's appearance also sent a signal to all those who secretly coveted and were hostile to the Zheng family!
Feng Bei is very familiar with the Zheng family!
Extraordinarily familiar!
According to Zheng Xiu's understanding of Feng Bei, whether this matter is true or false, Feng Bei doesn't bother to defend it.
As long as Feng Bei doesn't deliberately defend himself, what is false will become true!
Even if he turned around and told others that Fengbei often visited his Zheng family at night, and Fengbei didn't defend himself, who would dare not believe it?
Sure enough, it was just as Zheng Xiu expected.
The three princes who were hiding in the dark and witnessed all this, as well as various officials, and even the members of Ye Weiyang who were hiding in the crowd, were shocked when they saw Feng Bei appear specifically at this time to join the escort of Zheng Xiu.
extremely.
Feng Bei, who never had contact with anyone and lived alone, actually took the initiative to escort Zheng Xiu out of prison today!
That Feng Bei actually had a close friendship with Zheng Xiu!
Zheng Xiu wore an expensive mink fur cloak and walked towards Zheng's house surrounded by everyone.
One by one, common people who were paid to work under the Zheng family, with different identities, walked out of the crowd, greeted Zheng Xiu, and joined the queue.
From dozens of people at the beginning, to hundreds, hundreds, and finally the streets were filled with people working for the Zheng family!
"Hey, Lao Zhang, you look good today!"
"Lao Xu, long time no see. Is your grandson going to be born soon?"
"Eh? Xiao Lizi, aren't you going to work today? Why do you have to come here to pick up this little thing? Just get out of jail! Don't worry, I, Zheng, am very fine. I have good food and a good house!"
"Ah, Xiao Deng, is this your wife? You are very lucky! I wish you a son soon!"
"Lao He, don't leave in a hurry. You have to help embroider pigs and kill sheep at my house tonight!"
Zheng Xiu originally thought that the butterfly effect would bring about earth-shaking changes in the appearance of the Zheng family.
But today, when he was released from prison, the familiar faces of the common people walking out of the crowd made him understand that no matter how the world changed, his Zheng family would still be the same Zheng family.
"Master, let's..." Qing Shisan sneaked closer to Zheng Xiu and inadvertently glanced at Feng Bei: "Look at how tense the atmosphere has become, are we as low-key as usual, or...
?”
"Low-key?" Zheng Xiu looked at Qingpi sadly: "Qingpi, Qingpi, Qingpi, you have changed! When did I, Zheng, ever keep a low profile? Wait a minute." Zheng Xiu pulled Qing Shisan to his side and asked in a low voice.
: "Qingpi, Qingpi, you and I have met each other and have been in love for many years. Please tell me, should we be more low-key or high-profile this time?"
"Huh..." Qing Shisan squinted his eyes, grinned, held a long dry tobacco stick with two fingers, and puffed out smoke. After taking a long breath of smoke, Qing Shisan smiled and said: "Master, you are wronged.
We are all suffering from being imprisoned. It’s good to be dry at this time, go and chill. Besides..." Qing Shisan looked back at Feng Bei, who was silent not far away, and nodded with a smile.
: "The time, place and people are favorable. Master, now is just the right time."
Zheng Xiu nodded and snapped his fingers: "Then get excited."
Hearing this, after Zheng Xiu's death, all the "little people" who were begging for food under Zheng Xiu's hands showed happy smiles.
If you've been feeling frustrated for a long time, then you'll get dry!
Chef He pulled out his kitchen knife.
Zhizhi rubbed his hands.
Qing Shisan started to smoke dry cigarettes.
Ji Hongou applied perfume and powder on her face.
Pei Gaoya muttered something.
Lao Zhang took out the rolling pin from his waist.
In the crowd, there was a group of people like shadows, silently putting on their hoods and whispering the oath of the brotherhood.
Bobo blows a long Xiao, but the sound of the flute remains the same.
Lily sang "Zheng Zhong Serves the Country".
Yan Jiji, the most skillful hand, bit the nail and wanted to knock something, but when he thought that his workshop was too conspicuous, he reluctantly dropped the hammer.
Yue Yan sneaked in from behind, pretending that she was not Ye Weiyang, but was stared at by Feng Bei. Yue Yan smiled awkwardly and left secretly.
All of a sudden, the geishas and actors of the Zheng family who followed Zheng Xiu were like a motley army of geishas, actors, dancers, and performers, each with their own movements and "rules". They seemed to be chaotic and chaotic.
Perform magic.
But in an instant, Feng Bei's expression changed, and he raised his head in surprise, looking high into the sky.
Yeah wow wow——
In the imperial city, the ravens that should have been frightened away by Feng Bei's aura, tens of millions of ravens, actually went crazy, colliding with each other, some crashed, some fled in panic, and some foamed at the mouth.
