-Mid-May, the 16th year of Chongzhen, Dengzhou.

Li Mingxun, who had just settled the army, came to the governor's yamen and entered the courtyard. He saw Zeng Shuyi in the corridor. He was wearing a daughter's outfit. Li Mingxun couldn't help but feel a little confused. Just as he was about to come forward to say hello, Zeng Shuyi was blessed under the corridor and disappeared into the path in the garden.

Li Mingxun held the hilt of the knife in his hand and paused under the arch. He thought for a moment and said, "What's wrong!"

"Have you ever had any unusual things happening in Dengzhou recently?" Li Mingxun pulled the Zeng family's old servant, stuffed a ingot of silver, and asked with a smile.

The old servant collected the money and whispered: "There is nothing else. It's just two days ago that the master arranged a group of people to move into the museum, saying that it was a messenger from Laizhou. But the old slave could see clearly that one of them was the Qianhu, the Jinyiwei who appeared next to the master during the period of the Yulu. "

Li Mingxun waved his hand and the old servant left. He said to Umu: "It seems that the person in the Forbidden City has started playing tricks. Haha, it's so boring."

Li Mingxun went straight into Zeng Ying's study and found that the old man was dozing at the table. His breathing was low and his hand was drooping. The hand was as dry as a tree, and Zeng Ying's head was pale. Li Mingxun sighed. It was not easy for him to fight on the front line, and it was even more difficult for the governor to clean up the mess behind him. Settling down the victims, helping the people, and urging donations, isn't it costing people's efforts?

Zeng Ying woke up when she heard the voice. Seeing Li Mingxun's face turned happy first, then became cold. He patted the table and shouted, "Mingxun, why are you so impulsive? Doing that waiting thing in Tongzhou."

Li Mingxun smiled, brought Zeng Ying a cup of tea, and said casually: "You know, I have no patience with those traitors and slanderers." Li Mingxun was unwilling to get entangled with Zeng Ying and said: "I heard that the Jinyiwei came to Dengzhou. Haha, it seems that the emperor not only wants you to take the blame, but also wants to use this to hit our club."

Zeng Ying sighed and said, "This matter has not been finalized yet. I, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, will naturally distinguish between loyalty and treacherous..."

Although he said this, he was insincere after all. With his years of political sense of being an official, Zeng Ying also knew that her ending was decided, but she didn't know whether she was imprisoned or died.

"Is it another argument that the king wants his minister to die and has to die?" Li Mingxun asked lightly.

Zeng Ying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Hmph, you are not from Ketu and have never been in a ten-year journey. Naturally, you don't understand the truth. However, I was not just saying that, and there has been no resolution in the court. Those Jinyiwei were sent by Mr. Wang and Lord Luo."

As he said that, Zeng Ying took out a letter from the box and handed it to Li Mingxun. After Li Mingxun opened it, he saw Wang Chengen's handsome words, which introduced the situation in Beijing in detail. As Zeng Ying said, the emperor and the cabinet have not reached a resolution on his handling. Not to mention him, even Zhou Yanru is still waiting to be punished. What caused such a situation is that, in addition to Zeng Ying's extraordinary performance in this prisoner, he has not found a suitable candidate to replace him as the governor of Denglai. Several court refusals have failed, and several nominees have also refused.

As for sending the Jinyiwei, they wanted to inform Zeng Ying of the attitude of King Luo and Luo. The two of them worked with Zeng Ying for more than half a year and were extremely impressed by Zeng Ying, for fear that Zeng Ying would take improper measures such as suicide and apologize. The two of them were willing to reconcile. Even if Zeng Ying was really going to be judged for guilt, they would find a way to take care of them.

Zeng Ying had the awareness of seeking rein and getting rein. He looked at Li Mingxun who frowned and looked at the letter and said, "Mingxun, this is probably the least you want to see me commit suicide."

Li Mingxun didn't know what to say for a moment. In fact, Zeng Ying was right. He humiliated Zhou Yanru in Tongzhou and had expressed his attitude to the Ming Dynasty - the community is not easy to mess with. In fact, the court also made appropriate responses. He had never had any problems and made any decisions that were unfavorable to the community. However, he put the blame on Zeng Ying and asked Zeng Ying to change the governor. No matter which move, it was for fear that Li Mingxun would use the imperial captives to turn Denglai into his own independent kingdom.

If Zeng Ying committed suicide, the court would react even more, and maybe he would attack the community directly.

Li Mingxun shook his head helplessly. He played a role in Tongzhou, which made all the civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty dare not provoke him, but now he still demands Zeng Ying.

Li Mingxun raised his arms directly and said, "If you use your life as a bargaining chip to ask me, then I will not surrender directly. You are a good official and a good person. You have helped me a lot openly and secretly. I can do your requests with no other words."

Zeng Ying smiled slightly and said, "Yesterday, Zheng Sen came."

Li Mingxun was shocked. He didn't know what Zeng Ying suddenly mentioned Zheng Sen to do. He asked, "What are he here to do? Is there a way to save you?"

Zeng Ying shook her head: "No, the Zheng family is still thinking about my husband's love for saving him back then. She wants to arrange for me to go to sea to take refuge and show her feelings."

Li Mingxun nodded slightly. Zheng Zhilong was not trusted by the court at the time. Zeng Ying used the lives of a family of hundreds to guarantee Zheng Zhilong, so that Zheng Zhilong was able to fight, wipe out Liu Xiang, and completely become the King of Min Hai. It can be said that Zeng Ying had the kindness of knowing the Zheng family and the virtue of recreating it.

"My family may cause thieves to harm me, or they are still in their hometown, with only granddaughter Shuyi and grandson Xueren around. Can you be willing to worry about the placement for me?" Zeng Ying asked.

Li Mingxun nodded without hesitation: "This is a matter of my own right, and I should follow it."

Zeng Ying smiled: "You don't ask me how I asked you to place it!"

Li Mingxun said: "Of course, it's delicious food, drink and good treatment. If you think it's inappropriate and ask me to marry Shuyi, I'll marry you."

It was Zeng Ying's turn to be embarrassed. He never thought that Li Mingxun was so ready to be so careless about the marriage, but Zeng Ying still shook her head: "I won't be demanding about the matter between you, let's go with the flow."

Li Mingxun nodded slightly, held Zeng Ying's hand, and said, "Take care, sir, when will you get back? It's up to you to decide on this marriage."

"Then how do you arrange my grandchildren?" Zeng Ying asked.

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to Taiwan with me. I can arrange to work in the base camp and avoid some time. If I can go on, I will settle down and wait for your news. If I'm tired of it, I can arrange to go to Guangzhou. We still have some friendship with Governor Shen. Please inform them that I will return to Taiwan in two days."

"So quickly, is there anything urgent?" Zeng Ying asked.

Li Mingxun smiled: "The Donglu left, and the thieves rose again. Now the Ming Dynasty is a big vortex. One wave has not yet been settled and the power of the community has been greatly damaged. It is impossible to change the situation. Breaking the rebels and the court is a battle with two tigers. It is better to hide away as the little beast of the community."

Zeng Ying also knew that Tenglong Trading Company's strength was the limit to this point. He hurriedly said: "I have already explained to Huang Fei about the Ocean Island Fortress. I think there is no problem. Huang Fei is a person with a temperament and will definitely not lose it."

Li Mingxun nodded slightly to express his gratitude. Today's Ming Dynasty is a governor who is fighting with iron and military heads. Officials like governors and governors are often imprisoned and forced to commit suicide. However, the military head warlords with soldiers in their hands are not the ones that the court dared to act rashly. The matter of the Ocean Island Fortress was entrusted to Huang Fei, but he was more cautious.

Yushan, Jiangyun Tower.

In the Jiangyun Tower full of books, a bright young woman was holding a baby in her arms and staring at the birds flying freely outside the window, her hands brushed by a royal blue gown, sighed a long time, and shook her head helplessly.

This woman was Liu Rushi, who was later called one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai. Liu Rushi was poor when she was young and bought by Xu Fo, a famous prostitute in Jiangnan. Later, she was favored by Grand Secretary Zhou and accepted as a concubine. Grand Secretary Zhou, who was the top scholar, held Liu Rushi on his knees to teach poetry and prose every day, which made her full of knowledge. Later, Grand Secretary died of illness and Liu Rushi went to Songjiang to re-enter the old business. Although he was a famous girl in the fun market, Liu Rusi never became addicted to the extravagance of Qinhuai. Her ambitions and generous behaviors. During that time in Songjiang, she often wore Confucian men's clothing, and discussed current affairs with the "moral gentleman" of Donglin and Fushe, and sang poems and rhetoric. In Songjiang South Tower, she had a deep relationship with Chen Zilong, a talented man in Jiangnan, but because the Chen family's original wife came to Nanlou, Liu Rushi dared to love and hate, and left sadly.

It was not until the eleventh year of Chongzhen that Liu Rushi met Qian Qianyi, and finally married the Donglin literary master in the 14th year of Chongzhen. Qian Qianyi was extremely in love with Liu Rushi and built a Jiangyun Tower in Yushan, hiding a beautiful woman in the golden house. Liu Rushi's arms were the daughter who was born for him.

However, as she spent a long time taking care of her husband and children, Liu Rushi, who was unwilling to be lonely, often missed the days in Songjiang. She used her male makeup to linger among talented men in Jiangnan. Even though she discussed ancient and modern times and discussed the state affairs and current situation, the talented men were called "Hedong Jun". It was the most glorious day in her life. Now the days she was attached to will never come back, and the worrying situation became more and more corrupt, but Hedong Jun has become the wife of Qian, and everything has passed.

Liu Rushi was fascinated. When she closed her eyes, the pictures of the past would flash through her mind, elegant and noble moral articles, beautiful and exquisite Jiangnan scenery, and Jiangnan talents who were besieged by her...

Suddenly, Liu Rushi felt that his hand was being held. She looked up and saw that it was Qian Qianyi. Liu Rushi smiled slightly, pushed the long gown in the box, picked up the teacup, Qian Qianyi stopped Liu Rushi and said, "Hedong Jun, this tea is cold."

Liu Rushi smiled slightly and handed his daughter to the maid. When he saw Qian Qianyi holding a brocade box in his hand, he asked, "Which close friend is this book given by him. Is it a so care? Isn't it the Song version of the book?"

Qian Qianyi smiled slightly, and after opening it, he revealed some exquisite jade artifacts. Qian Qianyi said: "It's not a lonely book, but some gadgets sent by friends from Songjiang, and an invitation."

"Songjiang..." Liu Rushi lowered her head. Songjiang's days were the glorious and colorful life in her life, but also her sad place.

Qian Qianyi held up his lover's chin and said gently: "So, I want to revisit the old place with you."

After hearing Qian Qianyi's words, Liu Rushi felt ecstasy in his heart, and two lines of tears burst out from his eyes. Qian Qianyi was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly wiped it away and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to go to that sad place."

"I am happy, happy that you love me so much and spoil me. If you get this husband like this, what else can you ask for?" Liu Rushi said with tears.

Qian Qianyi said: "It's good if you are willing, but this time I go there is not entirely a trip. I still have to deal with an important matter with Senior Donglin and the Nanjing officials."

"What's the matter?" Liu Rushi asked.

Qian Qianyi sighed and said, "It should have been heard that Zhou Yusheng (Zhou Yanru's name) was sentenced to a prison. Of course, this book is understandable. After all, that guy is really hateful. He has lost Donglin's face. No matter what the ending ends, no one will feel sorry for me. But I, the gentry in Jiangnan, cannot sit and watch the national dynasty fall, and must discuss a result."

Liu Rushi immediately caught an important message from it and asked, "Are you going to get back?"

Qian Qianyi was targeted by Wen Tiren and was stripped of his family and returned to his hometown. If he could return to the political stage, it would be a fish leaping on the dragon gate. Liu Rushi sighed in his heart. She knew that the man she married was not a person in the pool, but a real man who could do everything in the world.

Qian Qianyi said: "It's hard to say that the resumption is not easy. I have to help Shilin and officials deal with their relationship with Dongfan. So, the Dongfan community is now doing a lot of business in Jiangnan, and all gentry are involved. This time, he went north to the imperial guards and won three battles and three victories, and gained a great reputation. Zhou Yusheng was dull and Hou's son Meng Lang made the Li family in Dongfan and Jiangnan Shilin. He led by Lin Shizhang, Suzhou, to resolve these conflicts."

"So I can see the famous Eastern Band hero Li Mingxun on this trip!" Liu Rushi asked with a happy face.

Qian Qianyi said: "Of course it's like this."

Liu Rushi nodded slightly and said, "That man humiliated Hou Fangyu in Dengzhou and made Sister Xiangjun lose her beloved. When I met this time, I want to see who he is."

Qian Qianyi said: "I know Hedongjun's mind, so naturally I won't be entangled in this small matter, otherwise I won't take you there."

Liu Rushi said: "Then is the Dongfan club so valued by Jiangnan Shilin?"

Qian Qianyi focused on the head and said, "It is strong and has the convenience of maritime trade. It can be used to check and balance Zheng Zhilong, and it can also develop trade benefits for the gentry of Jiangnan. Secondly, Li Mingxun is good at controlling the captives, which will be useful in the future. The Eastern Captains also have the intention of admiring them. The envoys are intercepted. Such talents must never be obtained by the Eastern Captains. It is best to use them for me and drive them to the gentry of Jiangnan."
