The imperial edict of the imperial court was eight hundred Li. Five days later, he arrived at the southern barracks. The next morning, general Zheng led two trusted men to the capital. On the third day of his departure, King Jing led 300 elite soldiers to join Mu Chen at the base 30 miles away from Jiangcheng.

"This is Jiang Changhua's correspondence with long San and Wen Fuzhou." Mu Chen sat in the tent and handed some letters to Yan Chengli, "there are others from the capital city..." When he said this, he stopped, looked at Yan Chengli, and then drew up a sneer, "you can see for yourself."

Yan Chengli was intrigued by him and picked up the letters. It seems that long San's letter to Jiang Changhua mentions the plan of robbing the salt field, which can be used as evidence of Jiang Changhua's collusion with mountain bandits to guard against self theft. However, the correspondence between Deputy General Liu and Jiang Changhua mentions the whereabouts of the stolen money from selling private salt and how to deal with the newly discovered salt fields.

Yan Chengli read the letter back and forth several times. The more he looked, the more he frowned. He turned to Mu Chen. The latter seemed to have expected his reaction after reading it. He drank tea leisurely. Seeing him, he said, "I have already asked Wei you to find out the location of the salt field, which is not far from the southern military camp. And tiemen village is in Wuyan mountain. Weizuo has also made a simple investigation on the guard situation inside. "

Mu Chen took out an attack and defense map and showed Yan Chengli the points that should be paid attention to. "You say this place is weird?" Yan Chengli pointed to the triangle on the map and looked up at Mu Chen's eyes.

Mu Chen nodded, "Wei Zuo said that there should be a way to the bottom, which is the key point of attack." There may be an ambush.

Yan Chengli nodded, picked up the map again and looked at it. Then he discussed the attack strategy with Mu Chen. The two men discussed for a whole afternoon. In the evening, they led 300 elite soldiers to sneak into tiemen village. Tiemen village was unprepared and unprepared. It was attacked before dawn. Yan Chengli and others found a large number of weapons in the underground chamber and blacksmiths in nearby towns to make weapons. They took all the weapons, took all the mountain bandits and blacksmiths to the prison of Jiangcheng yamen, and met with the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to investigate the case. The imperial envoy interrogated all the prisoners and witnesses, examined the evidence, and took Deputy General Liu and Jiang Changhua into custody and escorted them to the capital city for questioning and beheading after autumn. However, Jiangcheng magistrate was stripped of his black hat because of his negligence.

After the matter was settled, Yan Chengli made a memorial and sent it to the capital city eight hundred miles in a hurry. Mu Chen, on the third day of Jiang Changhua's imprisonment, left Weiyou to assist Yan Chengli in his affairs, so he took Wei Zuo to Jinling and "sister-in-law, elder brother sent a letter back, saying that he was on his way back."

Mu Jin is holding the letter in her hand and shouts happily before entering the room. Shen Jingli is playing Cuju with xun'er in the courtyard. When he hears his voice, his face looks excited and excited. When 14 is coming back, he happily hangs up a smile and kicks away the Cuju at his feet and goes to the door eagerly.

Mother Zhao had just brought a bowl of cheese. When she saw him trotting out of the door, she immediately called out, "madam, please walk slowly. Don't run too fast..."

Shen Jingli, who is excited, can't hear her voice at all. He only thinks that 14 is coming back, 14 is coming back "What did your brother say in the letter?"

He didn't see each other for nearly two months. He really missed Mu Chen.

Shen Jingli stops in front of Mu Jin and grabs his letter. He can't wait to open it.

"Am, is Dad coming back?" xun'er, holding Cuju, stepped forward with his short legs and ran after Shen Jingli, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Goff is coming back?" Shen yue'er is drying clothes in the yard. When she hears the news, the clothes will not dry. She runs over to confirm the news, "can we go back to the capital?"

Shen Jingli has been pregnant for three months. Dr. Sun said that he was in good health. The carriage shop was comfortable and he walked slowly. It was not a problem to enter Beijing.

"Why do you want to go back to Beijing?" When Yang Ningxin heard Shen Yueer's words, she reached out and patted her on the back of the head, and then asked, "sister-in-law, when will my cousin get home? Can we catch the Dragon Boat Festival

The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Jinlingcheng will hold dragon boat races and rice dumpling eating competitions on the canal. It is very lively. Yang Ningxin has been looking forward to it for a long time. She hopes that Mu Chen can come back and accompany them to worship the Dragon God, watch the Dragon Boat race and take part in the rice dumpling eating competition. Everyone around Shen Jingli, full of hope to look at Shen Jingli, bright eyes revealed their expectations for the Dragon Boat Festival.

After reading the letter, Shen Jingli smiles implicitly, and then shakes his head toward them. "He estimates that it will take him more than ten days to get home. I'm afraid he can't come back for the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Ah..." What about her Dragon Boat jam and rice dumpling competition? Yang Ningxin lost his mouth and his brother suck. He was not at home at the crucial time.

Xun'er put aside Cuju and held Shen Jingli's leg. He looked up at him, "am, when will dad come back? Xun'er misses him so much. Xun'er wants to ride horses and run high with his father... "

Shen Jingli touches his son's head and chuckles. Mu 14's position in his son's heart is not much higher than a toy."Dad will be back in a few days. When he arrives, he will bring a lot of fun and delicious food to xun'er." Shen Jingli road.

"Really?" Xun'er's eyes brightened instantly.

Shen Jingli nodded. In fact, his son is very good. He can eat and play.

"Good, good..." Xun'er clapped his hands happily and jumped around in the yard. "I want to tell Dad that the big ashes and ashes I raise can catch fish. They can catch a lot of fish. They are as good as Dad..."

Son, if you compare your father with two eagles, your father will not be very happy. Shen Jingli looked at his happy dancing son and narrowed his eyes slightly. For nearly two months, he felt as if several years had passed.

Seeing their happy appearance, they all laughed happily. Mu Jin leaned forward and asked, "sister-in-law, did my brother say anything besides coming back?" Shen Jingli looked at him and said, "what's more Let's not make trouble everywhere. "

"Ha ha ha..." As soon as Shen Jingli spoke, everyone laughed impolitely, especially Yang ningtian. He patted Mu Jin on the shoulder and said, "brother Jin, cousin really cares about you, ha ha "

Mu Jin rolled her eyes. What did he care about him? Elder brother, this was clearly a smear on him. He curled his mouth, reached out his hand on Yang ningtian's shoulder, and said to xun'er," xun'er, I'll take you out to play. "

Shen Jingli quickly stopped him, "brother Jin, if you have time, go to the city and buy back the things we need for the Dragon Boat Festival. We will make zongzi tomorrow, and we can't leave."

"OK, I'll take xun'er out to play for a while, and I'll wait for Lao Zhang to set up a carriage." Mu Jin nodded, picked up xun'er and went outside.

"Uncle, I'm going to play, too." Keep up with him.

"Huaixin, come here quickly. Someone is rowing a dragon boat in the river outside the village. Let's go and have a look." Xun'er climbed Mu Jin's shoulder, stood on his arm, leaned against his shoulder, and waved to Huaixin. Yang Ningxin, who was talking with Shen Yueer, immediately turned around and said, "really? Is there a dragon boat race now? "

"It's not the dragon boat race, it's the team that's going to do it." "There are only two teams in our village who have been practicing half a month ago," Musi explained

The dragon boat race is held in jinlingcheng every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. The prizes are very rich. There are many teams competing every year. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Race in jinlingcheng is very fierce, and there are many people watching. Many gambling houses will open a bet on which team will win. It is very lively.

Yang Ningxin immediately followed Mu Jin out of the house happily and yelled, "then I'll go to see it too. Second cousin will wait for me."

"Miss Yang is so lively." Qingsheng looked at Yang Ningxin jumping out of the door, said with emotion, but there was a little envy in his eyes. Lively? It's better to say that the temperament is wild, just like a runaway horse. Shen Jingli began to laugh and asked, "is mugwort to be bought in the city or picked in the mountains for birthday celebration?"

"What do you want moye to do?" Qingsheng looked at Shen Jingli's eyes in a strange way.

Hearing this, Shen Jingli was also a little confused. He scratched his head and asked, "don't you want to take a bath with wormwood?"

He remembered that when he was a child, he would order wormwood sticks in front of his house. In the afternoon, he would use Artemisia argyi, Acorus calamus, peach leaves and other flowers and plants to boil pot water and bathe the whole family. He said that he could exorcise evil spirits or something. Is it not necessary here?

After seeing him for a while, Qingsheng said, "sister-in-law, is this your local custom?"

Shen Jingli suddenly realized that there was no such custom here.

"Don't you have to hang wormwood and calamus at the door?" Shen Jingli asked again.

He shook his head again and said, "no, but we will hang red paper and pomegranate flowers in front of our house."

He didn't like to hang pomegranate flowers at the gate of Dragon Boat Festival.

"That's OK. I'll just talk about it." Shen Jingli Road, turn back to the hall.

Mother Qian stood under the eaves of the main room and saw Shen Jingli come over and said, "Congratulations, my Lord is coming back soon."

Shen Jingli stopped and turned to look at her. To be honest, he didn't like mammy Qian, especially when she laughed. He thought it was strange, gloomy and uncomfortable.

"Mammy Qian's words are really interesting." Congratulations? Why does that sound so awkward? When Mu Chen finished his work, he naturally wanted to come back. This is a very normal thing. Why should we use the character of congratulation? He glanced at mammy Qian and walked into the main room. He didn't notice that the eyes of mammy Qian were dark at that moment.
