The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 762 Unexpected visitor
The relaxing time always passed quickly, three drums rang, and the soldiers who were still resting in the tent quickly tidied up their beds and then ran out to assemble. The time period and the quick movements made Xuan Shijing very satisfied.

"Chang Le."

"The subordinate is here." Chang Le clapped his hands in response.

"Is there any spare manpower in the Jinyi Guard at Shenhou's Mansion in Chang'an City?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Master Hou, after the case is over, half of Jin Yiwei is still in Shenhou's Mansion, and they just do some training every day, and there is nothing to be busy with." Chang Le responded.

"Write a letter back and dispatch [-] Jinyi guards to spread over the Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, pay close attention to all suspicious persons, and say hello to the villagers on the Zhuangzi. Yes, once the other party wants to inquire about the news, be vigilant and don't disclose any news about Dongshan County to outsiders. If Jin Yiwei catches a suspicious person and can't tell his identity clearly, he will directly detain him and send him to the cell of the Shenhou Mansion in Chang'an City." Xuan Shi Jing ordered.

"Yes!" After two days, many people in Chang'an City know what happened in Dongshan County. Cheng Yaojin came here in person this morning, and other people are probably more curious than Cheng Yaojin, and if Come, it must be a bad person.

If you want to come over to inquire about news, you have to weigh up whether you have the ability!

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the camp.

Xuan Shijing frowned, who would come back now, until now, he had just had time to send Jin Yiwei to be a sentry, and he didn't expect someone to come to visit so soon.

When that person rode to the gate of Daying, he was stopped by two guards of the Marquis Mansion guarding the gate. After asking about the identity of the person who came, one of the guards quickly ran into the camp and ran to Xuan Shijing. Beside him, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou, there is a man outside the camp who claims to be Zheng An and says he wants to see Master Hou."

"Zheng An?" Xuan Shijing frowned, what is Zheng An looking for at this time?The case of Chun Wei's cheating has been closed according to His Majesty Li Er's wishes. He didn't wait in Chang'an City to wait for the Ministry of Officials to arrange an official position for him, so he went to Dongshan County to do something.

"Bring him to the big tent, and I'll see him." Xuan Shijing said, then turned to look at Cheng Chumo: "Brother Chumo, you and Chang Le are here to train with these soldiers first, and I will come as soon as I go .”

Cheng Chumo nodded: "Okay, Xiaojing, you just go." Cheng Chumo had also heard about this person who won the palace test, and the person who was forced out of the house by the Zheng family came to Xiaojing again. What do you think.

Zheng An was regarded as brought into the tent, Xuan Shijing was already sitting behind the desk, Zheng An walked into the tent and saw Xuan Shijing, he cupped his hands and bowed to Xuan Shijing: "I have seen Lord Dongshan."

"No need to be polite, please sit down." Xuan Shijing pointed to the low couch opposite her, motioning Zheng An to sit down.

After Zheng An cupped his hands to express his thanks, he sat down opposite to Xuan Shijing in a well-mannered manner.

"Now I have to call Mr. Zheng. I don't know what you can do when Mr. Zheng comes to Dongshan County today." Xuan Shijing asked.

No matter what position the imperial court assigned to Zheng An in the end, Mr. Zheng couldn't run away with this one.

"Where is Mr. Zheng?" Zheng An smiled wryly: "My Lord Hou also knows about the matter with the Zheng family. Although the Chunwei cheating case has been solved, I also had a falling out with the Zheng family before. How could you just sit and watch me climb up step by step? I'm afraid that the more your Majesty values ​​me, the more they will find ways to suppress me. Now the few Jinshi who were contemporaneous with me in the imperial examination have all received documents from the Ministry of Officials. I, huh, there is no movement at all from the official department."

"That's really unfortunate. From the perspective of a bystander, Mr. Xiao Zheng has offended the Zheng family so much. I'm afraid his career will be difficult in the future." Xuan Shijing said truthfully: "However, if Mr. Zheng offends the Zheng family because of this If you come to Ben Hou for such a matter, to be honest, Ben Hou is helpless, after all, Ben Hou is in Chang'an City, and he is just a little Marquis."

After Xuan Shijing finished speaking, Zheng An got up, knelt down on the ground, cupped his hands and said to Xuan Shijing: "Now Zheng doesn't want to be prosperous, rich and powerful, but only asks for the protection of the Marquis, so that Zheng can go to the Marquis."

Zheng An frightened Xuan Shijing very much at this moment, he quickly got up and walked to Zheng An's side, and helped Zheng An up.

"Master Xiao Zheng, what are you doing, get up quickly, don't you scholars say that men have gold under their knees?"

"Zheng Mou sincerely wants to join Lord Hou, please let him do it." Zheng An looked at Xuan Shijing sincerely, his eyes were full of hope.

"This kind of thing, it's not that I'm unreasonable, it's that I can't help, and this Chang'an City, it's not up to what I say, Mr. Zheng, you should know that this year's Chunwei exam has added a palace exam. , This is a great pioneering work. In the first hall, Mr. Xiao Zheng won the first place. He is the first class among Jinshi. His Majesty will value Mr. Xiao Zheng, and many people who pay attention to Chunwei will also focus on Xiao Zheng. On my lord, at this time, Lord Xiao Zheng came to Benhou and said that he wanted to defect to Benhou. How would the court see this? It's unbelievable that he came to this Marquis."

Although Xuan Shijing knew about Zheng An and the Zheng family, Xuan Shijing was unwilling to trust Zheng An. No matter how bad the relationship between Zheng An and the Zheng family was, he and the head of the Zheng family were also biological father and son. , blood is thicker than water, and the relationship between Xuan Shijing and the Zheng family has also dropped to a freezing point. The court almost picked up a weapon and started a life-and-death duel. How could Xuan Shijing let someone who may be persuaded, threatened, and lured by the Zheng family at any time Zheng An who went back was by his side.

"Master Hou doesn't believe Zheng?" Zheng An looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.

"Why do you believe it or not? Could it be that Mr. Zheng has never considered the consequences of what he did?" Having said this, Xuan Shijing's tone became severe: "No matter what Mr. Zheng is thinking What, Master Xiao Zheng's actions must be trapping me in inhumanity and infidelity." After saying this, Xuan Shijing calmed down and added: "Master Xiao Zheng, you are taking the liberty."

Zheng An stood dumbfounded on the spot. From Chang'an City to Dongshan County, he thought about how he would defect to the Marquis of Dongshan and how to use his knowledge to shine under the Marquis of Dongshan, but he didn't expect that he would not be accepted at all.

There are some things that Zheng An didn't tell Xuan Shijing, that is, the members of the Zheng family have already started to take actions against him.
