Chapter 013: Stormy Night (2)

"This is a big rebellion, don't say it, maybe it's Lord Liu's idea!" Zheng Hu was clever when he heard this, looked left and right and said, it is a capital crime to talk about royal affairs.

"The Sprinkle family sees that Lord Liu is just a scholar, although he has a loyal heart, but he has no talent to lead the army, if it is his idea, he will not talk about engaging in battle. And I look at His Royal Highness's appearance and Taizu embroidered statue is six points similar, and his young age knows how to guide the situation, by the power of heaven to retreat from the enemy, quite handsome style, his future is limitless, maybe he was sent by God to save me Zhao Song. Zhao Da didn't seem to hear it, and said leisurely.

"Have you ever seen an embroidered statue of Taizu?" Zheng Hu said suddenly, he knew that the emperor's dragon face was not something that anyone could see, Taizu had already passed away for a hundred years, and his embroidered statue was also collected in the Great Interior, and it would only be invited out when the sacrifice was made, and the person who could see it was either an important minister in the court, or a child of the clan who accompanied the sacrifice.

"Sprinkle family ......" Hearing Zheng Hu's rhetorical question, Zhao Da knew that he had lost his words, thought about it and said, "Although the two of you have not known the Sprinkle family for a long time, we are also in the same boat, so we will no longer hide from each other." The Sprinkle family is a descendant of Taizu, and Zhao Mengjin, the deputy general of Zhenzhou, is also! ”

"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that after the loss of Zhenzhou, the main general Miao Zaicheng was killed, and after the general climbed the mast of the enemy ship and shot more than a dozen Tartars, the enemy cut off the mast and caused the general to fall into the water and drown, and the corpse was still picked up by the Tartars to show the public?" Zhuang Shilin looked at Zhao Mengjin in a daze for a while, and said cautiously after making sure that he was a human and not a ghost.

"Hehe......" Zhao Mengjin drank all the wine in the bowl, wiped the residual wine on his beard with his hand and said with a wry smile, "The Sprinkle family was wearing heavy armor and immediately sank to the bottom of the river after falling into the water, but I still broke free under the water, and I didn't dare to show the water, so I could only dive down the water with a breath, but I didn't come up in one breath and fainted. ”

"Who is the corpse, and how did the general end up here?" Zheng Hu looked Zhao Mengjin up and down and asked again, as if to confirm his identity.

"I don't know, Xu is a soldier of our army who died, how to tell who it is after soaking in water for two days. I was about to return to the city after two days, but there was news that General Miao had been killed in battle, and the Tartars hated the soldiers and civilians in the city and refused to surrender, and they were all slaughtered. The Sprinkle family had nowhere to go, so they gathered hundreds of people who escaped from the city and wanted to come to Fuzhou to join the new emperor, and later learned that the right minister of Wen had been a privy envoy, because he had a grudge against him in Zhenzhou and did not dare to reveal his identity, so he could only hide in the army, who knew that he was contaminated with the epidemic and was sent to the ship. Zhao Mengjin said helplessly.

"I see, the general is really nine deaths!" Zhuang Shilin poured him full of wine and raised a glass to invite him to drink with him.

"Zheng Zhuangshi is also an extraordinary person, can you tell him his true identity?" Zhao Mengjin drank the wine, looked at him with a few bowls and said gloomily, he knew that his identity had been exposed, if he was betrayed, how could he have good fruits to eat, and if he didn't get it, he would have to be punished for the crime of leaving the defense land without permission.

"General Zhao told him frankly, how can a certain family have a reason to hide it, it is said that we are all people who have fallen at the end of the world!" Zheng Hu understood what Zhao Mengjin meant, and when things got to such a point, he didn't want to hide it anymore, "A certain family is Zheng Huchen." ”

"You are Zheng Huchen, the county lieutenant of Huiji?" As soon as Zheng Hu signed up, the two of them were startled, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and after a while, Zhuang Shilin asked.

"It's a certain house!" may have been hidden for too long, once he revealed his identity, Zheng Huchen was much more relaxed and admitted it indifferently.

The county lieutenant is also what we often call the Jiupin Sesame Official, who is in charge of the security of a county, and officials such as the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be like a carp crossing the river, grasping a large handful, and should be an unknown person. But Zheng Huchen is different, it can be said that few people do not hear of his name, because he did a big thing that shocked the whole country - killing the degraded Minister Jia Xiangdao.

As the last minister of power in the Song Dynasty, Jia Rudao was in power for 16 years, and even the emperor did not dare to call him by his name, but called him "Shixiang". After the defeat of Ding Jiazhou, in the impeachment of the Manchu Dynasty, the Empress Dowager demoted Jia Rudao to the deputy envoy of Gaozhou regimental training, and moved to Xunzhou for resettlement, and Zheng Huchen, the lieutenant of Huiji County, became an escort officer.

Sometimes people don't believe in fate, and the cycle of heaven and reason is unpleasant. Zheng Huchen is also a second-generation official, his father Zheng Xun was the governor of Yuezhou in the Lizong Dynasty, and was later framed by Jia Yidao and exiled to Qiongzhou, where he died. And Zheng Huchen also passed the martial arts, and it was when the future was bright that he was charged by his father to the frontier. This period was the period when Song and Mongolia frequently fought wars, and he also went through battles and died nine times, but he finally saved his life.

Zheng Huchen was later pardoned and released, but Jia Rudao was still in power, and he could only be a Jiupin county lieutenant, and he had to be more aggrieved and aggrieved. The hatred of the country and the family and the hatred of the two of them can be said to be as deep as the sea, and now that Jia Rudao has fallen into the hands of Zheng Huchen, what is the result......

Of course, Zheng Huchen is not a good bird, he did not repay his grievances with virtue, and he began to change the law when he seized the opportunity. When Jia Rudao was waiting for the Sin Jianning Mansion, there were dozens of concubines waiting by his side, and there were countless jewels and belongings. Zheng Huchen dismissed all his concubines as soon as he left the city, and gave his property to the people. On the way to escort, it was the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the dog days of summer, and Jia Rudao was guilty and still had an official body, and there was a small sedan chair carried by two people on the road.

In addition to constantly torturing Jia Yidao physically, Zheng Huchen also continued to hit him mentally. He deliberately planted a flag in front of the sedan chair, which read, "Ordered to detain and place the traitorous minister Jia Nidao in Xunzhou", and also made his crimes and ugly things into a Hangzhou tune, teaching the sedan chair drivers to sing, sneering, laughing and scolding, the more the sedan chair drivers sang, the more happy they became, the more they scolded, the more enjoyable Jia Nidao could only shrink in the sedan chair and be scolded, and he didn't even dare to look up when he walked, and hid his face every day.

Zheng Huchen is not stupid, he knows that he can torture Jia Nidao to his heart's content, but if he wants to kill him clearly, he will commit a big crime, so on the way to escort, he deliberately humiliated Jia Nidao constantly, hoping that he can judge himself to thank the world. But no matter what he is, he is just a promise, but he has no intention of committing suicide and apologizing. I was in a hurry, so I said, "The Empress Dowager promised me not to die, and there was an edict to give me death, how dare I not die?" prevaricated him, and when he met a cheeky person, Zheng Huchen was helpless.

Seeing the car traveling to Zhangzhou, Zheng Huchen knew that the prefect of Zhangzhou was Jia Yidao's protégé, and if he didn't get rid of this pest at this time, he would never have a chance to kill him. When he arrived at the Zhangzhou Kapok Nunnery, Huchen deliberately led him to rest in the nunnery, took advantage of Jia Rudao to go to the toilet, killed him in the toilet pit, and then killed his two sons, and reported his illness to the imperial court.

After Zheng Huchen killed Jia Nidao, Emperor Song investigated Zheng Huchen under the repeated requests of Chen Yizhong's Jia Nidao's cronies, so he ordered Prime Minister Zheng Qingzhi to go to Fujian on business. Zheng Huchen knew that he had committed a big crime, so he ran away from home with his four sons. And Zheng Qingzhi, who was in charge of this matter, was his uncle, and now it was a troubled time, and the result could be imagined, so he was killed and reported to the imperial court.

Zheng Huchen didn't dare to show up, so he sent his four sons to the Quartet and began an incognito escape journey. He knew that the most dangerous place was the safest place, and at this time the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were captured, so he infiltrated the government-in-exile. One is to have a place to stay, and the other also hopes to be reused by the imperial court, so as not to end up in a rebellious ending, and Chen Yizhong's arrival frustrated his plans, so he had to hide in the quarantine ship......

"I really didn't expect that our small boat was actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there were many characters!" Zhuang Shilin looked at the two of them and smiled.

"Alas, they are all down-and-out people, where do they dare to speak of dragons and tigers!" After Zhao Mengjin learned of Zheng Huchen's true identity, his hostility greatly decreased, and he sighed and said, "We are all people who have no way to return home and have no way to serve the country. ”

"I lost the goods this time, which caused a great loss to the clan, even if I go back, I will be expelled from the house, and the two are the same fallen people, but it is not without a chance to turn over." Zhuang Shilin looked at the depressed two and said.

"Oh, what's the opinion of the banker?" Zheng Huchen frowned and said, although the crisis is lifted at this moment, they must have attracted everyone's attention if they stand up, once the identity of the dock is revealed, it will be difficult to hide it again.

"There is only one way to go, to take refuge in the Weiwang Mansion." Zhuang Shilin raised his neck and drank a large bowl of wine, smacked his lips and said.

"Although His Royal Highness King Wei cured the epidemic and escaped the pursuit of the Tartars, it is too weird, maybe it is just a coincidence, maybe he is extremely talented, but after all, he is just a child, how can he protect us, and how can he save us?" Zheng Huchen waved his hand and said, he was born in a family of eunuchs, and he has seen a lot of intrigues and tricks, and no matter how smart a child is, he can't fight those powerful ministers who are in power and scheming.

"Otherwise, do you know that His Highness is personally entourage?" Zhuang Shilin raised his glass and invited the two of them to take a sip of wine and eat two more bites of food and asked.

"Of course I know, it's that fool, but he has the strength!" Zhao Mengjin said with a smile.

"Do you know why His Highness got on the plague ship?" Zhuang Shilin asked again disappreciatively.

"This ...... It won't be for that fool! Zheng Huchen was stunned when asked, according to common sense, even if His Royal Highness is infected with the epidemic, he will not be sent to the epidemic ship, take a step back and say that there should be many people who serve around him, there will not be only a simple person with a small brain, not to mention that His Royal Highness can save everyone, how can he not cure himself, there is only this reason for thinking about it......
