Fang Kezhuang's two sons. The eldest son Fang Kai lives with him in Kaiyuan, while the second son Fang Hui has moved to the center of Qingzhou, and the grandsons are all settled in half.

This is obviously to protect one's own descendants.

The same is true of his two deceased brothers.

Now Fang Kai personally led his people to guard the door. When the shells came, he heard the sound and immediately saw flowers exploded at the window. He hurriedly brought people to see them. Feng Pu's appearance scared him. Fortunately, Fang Kezhuang had nothing to do, so he hurriedly persuaded Fang Kezhuang to leave here.

Fang Kezhuang's face was gloomy.

The garden is his home. It has been fifty or sixty years since his father built the garden in a style. It has been pavilions, towers, water pavilions, stone railings, and willows, which are pure and elegant. From the corridor to the south, the layout of the garden suddenly becomes clear. It is surrounded by canals and intersects with melons and fruits; the ponds, fish, lotus, cafes, pavilions, pavilions, and famous flowers such as pine, bamboo, strange stones, and peonies, which are naturally elegant.

It has long been the gathering of elegant literati in Qingzhou.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qingzhou was in a prosperous culture. After the "Haidai Poetry Society", literati poetry society emerged one after another, and the garden became an ideal gathering point. At first, there were literary gatherings of Fang Rushi, Wang Ji, Zhang Xianxiang and others; after that, Fang Keda and Fang Keda had many interactions with Zhong Yuzheng, Feng Qi and others; later, Fang Kezhuang had gatherings with Cao Yan, Xia Yong and others.

The grass is lingering and verdant.

For Fang Kezhuang, who is over 60 years old this year, there are so many memories here.

Although he had been persuaded by others because he was close to the city wall and was very dangerous, Fang Kezhuang was still unwilling to leave the Kaiyuan, which he had been running for decades with two generations. But now it seems... it is impossible not to leave.

Fang Kezhuang's eyes were a little dull. He was thinking about the choice he had made at the beginning. If he chose another way, just like the Cao family, and was not moved by Wang Aoyong, would the Fang family escape this disaster today?

Fang Kezhuang is not a fool. He clearly knows how bad the situation in Qingzhou City is.

This place has not been lost yet, and it is because the Zheng army has not yet fully exerted its strength. Otherwise, with the kind of hot shells that can set fire, the Zheng army would just hit Qingzhou, and sooner or later, would be burned into ruins by the fire.

If Qingzhou City is lost, the Fang family's property and land will be completely over. Even whether the Fang family can still keep the seedlings.

The hard work of generations of ancestors and hard work have led to the Fang family's current efforts. It's all because of one choice.

Painful regret is devouring Fang Keqiang's heart like a poisonous snake.

Since hearing the news of the "Millions of Ming Army Northern Expedition", Fang Kezhuang's confidence and thoughts have been shaken.

Because he knew very well that the main forces of the Qing Dynasty were trapped in Shanxi and Shaanxi, Emperor Chongzhen was taking advantage of the situation. Although he was a little unfair, there was no benevolence, righteousness and morality on the battlefield. As long as he could seize the opportunity to conquer the enemy to death, it was the most clever trick.

Didn’t Gou Jian take advantage of the situation to destroy Wu?

Kaifeng, Ziyang, and even Luoyang can no longer be defended, so how can Qingzhou City be defended?

Is it because Zheng Zhilong can’t fight, or is the Zheng army’s combat effectiveness not good?

Since the Battle of Qingzhou, he has not had a good sleep for many days. Now Fang Kezhuang's neat hair is messy, his face is dark blue, his clothes are wrinkled and gray, and his eyes are covered with bloodshot. He looks like an old man with spirits, Alexander.

But if he could make another decision at this time and reconcile the relationship with the Cao family, it can only be said that such an old bureaucrat is still very decisive.

I glanced at the completely messy room nostalgic. The room was as strong as an old dog, emitting endless decadence, but I still ordered the people around me: "Go immediately, go, let's go to the Confucian Temple."

The Confucian Temple in Qingzhou Prefecture is a large courtyard with a magnificent scale. It is also located far from the southeast and southwest. Although it is still covered by the Zheng Army artillery fire, it is much stronger than the Kaiyuan Garden.

But Fang Kezhuang and others didn't know that they only thought it was a secret meeting, but in fact they all fell into the eyes of one person.

He is Sun Zhixie.

Compared with Haoge's "scrupulous branches and leaves", Sun Zhixiu understands the virtues of "birds of a feather".

Because if his family's blood relatives were not under the Qing Dynasty, Sun Zhixie himself had never received private recruitment from the Ming and Zheng sides. Even Zheng Zhilong kept calling him to kill him, and no one in Jinling City said a good thing about him. Who said he was a remnant of the eunuch party? Sun Zhixie would not have been allowed to step on two ships.

Therefore, he paid great attention to the gentry of Qingzhou.

These shameless guys are going to make trouble in the war, that's certain.

Because just like they chose the Qing Dynasty, now they must choose the Ming Dynasty in order to save their property and life.

Fang Kezhuang was the first person he was staring at.

Sun Zhixie looked down on Fang Kezhuang very much. A shameless but famous person who introduced his nephew to be an official and made a great contribution to the Qing Dynasty, the Fang family's industrial status could only be safe. However, he lived in seclusion in the garden, looking as if he still maintained the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty, which really wanted to be a cousin and a archway.

At the same time, it is also called Sun Zhixie, a female cousin who cannot stand up to the archway, was jealous of her and she hated her bones.

"master……"

A follower quietly attached himself to his ear and whispered.

"It's them? You have to see clearly."

"Don't worry, Master, the villain will never misread these tricks."

Sun Zhixiu laughed and patted the man on the shoulder and smiled happily, "Okay, just see it. Come with me to see Prince Su. It's time for you to make meritorious contributions."

Sun Zhixie is going to completely cut off his retreat.

He wanted to expose the "conspiracy" of Fang Kezhuang and others to Haoge, and that was to follow the Tartars wholeheartedly.

Sun Zhixie is really bold to be able to make such a decision in the current climate.

But this is quite in line with his personality.

When Sun Zhixie was a Jinshi during the Tianqi period, he was appointed as a Jinshi, and was promoted to a postmaster. At that time, it was the period when Wei Zhongxian was in power. The eunuch party was popular, so he became a member of the eunuch party, which really lived a good life. In the first year of Chongzhen, after Wei Zhongxian fell, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the destruction of the "Three Dynasties Essence Dictionary" written by Wei Zhongxian. Sun Zhixie went to the Taimiao with the "Three Dynasties Essence Dictionary" and cried bitterly, which was despised by the scholars. In August, the court "cuted Sun Zhixi's Essence Dictionary" and drove him back to his hometown to eat rice. He has not been able to turn over for more than ten years.

What Sun Zhixie does now, even what he does in history, is obviously a greedy person, and he doesn't care about anything to be an official. But you can't ignore this person's "bold"!

He had dared to cry to the Taimiao with the "Three Dynasties" written by Wei Zhongxian, but now he dared to sell the house and become a stepping stone for him to take the lead. Just like after being humiliated and ridiculed in history, he dared to put up a note asking for a shaved hair and drag everyone into the water.
