Chapter Forty-Eight: The Female Middle of Zhuge
Xu Axiu said with a smile: "Zhang Gong wants to trace the source of Shuo and investigate the case of Yang Yuqing's rebellion against the official?" Zhang Shuyuan laughed, "This official will report to His Majesty after watching the scene, and His Majesty will order a thorough investigation of this case." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" said, changed into Jing Zhaoyi's purple official uniform, sat in a sedan chair, and came to the Weiguo Mansion.
Zheng Chengzhong's body was still lying at the door of his house as it was, Zhang Shuyuan got out of the carriage and walked to Zheng Chengzhong's side unhurriedly. I saw that this son, who was quite suave in the past, was now stabbed four times in front of and behind him, and the fatal knife should be in the chest, and he was pierced with a blood hole, because of the long time, the blood has coagulated, and it is black and mottled. Although the weather is slightly cooler, there are still a lot of mosquitoes and flies, and a few mung bean flies are lying on Zheng Chengzhong's wound and feasting.
Zhang Shuyuan took out a handkerchief in disgust and covered his mouth and nose. As a soldier, Zhang Shuyuan could see at a glance that the wound was caused by the saber issued by the forbidden army. The forbidden army saber is different from those ordinary machetes of the people, there are barbs on the tip of the knife, and when it is pierced and pulled out, it will hook the wound rotten, which not only expands the wound, but also tears the wound, increasing the difficulty of wound healing.
Zhang Shuyuan pondered for a moment, and said to the accompanying housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion: "This corpse, let the people of Jingzhao Mansion pull it back first, and when the case is over, you will go to the Yamen to collect the corpse." ”
The butler wished that someone would accept the corpse, which was very ugly on the door of his house. Hearing what Zhang Shuyuan said, he hurriedly agreed, arranged a few family members, and found a car to help the officials of Jingzhao Mansion carry the body to the car and transport it away. While secretly sending people back to report to Zheng Chengyong, it was clear that Zheng Chengzhong's body had been transported.
The housekeeper watched everyone walk away, and said to Zhang Shuyuan: "Guogong is seriously ill, and his wife is not well, the prince is busy serving Guogong in the mansion, and he can't spare his son to come here to greet Zhang Gong, and invite Zhang Gong Haihan." As he was talking, Zheng Chengyong got the news over there, hurried over, saw Zhang Shuyuan, hurriedly bowed his hand from afar, and said hard work, let him sit in the main hall of the house, and ordered someone to offer tea immediately.
Zheng Chengyong said apologetically: "When my father heard that his second brother was killed, he was angry, and now he is bedridden and can't come to entertain Zhang Gong in person. ”
Zhang Shuyuan smiled and said: "The prince doesn't have to be too humble, the prince is the future Duke of Weiguo, and it should be Zhang Mou who should be honestly afraid." As he spoke, his face became solemn, and he sighed and said: "Speaking of these two sons, it seems that such an old and dignified person, who can't put himself in the right position, actually wants to fight for the title of the prince of the world, and does such a despicable thing, not only did he lose his life because of this, but also caused the entire Guogong Mansion to be humiliated, and damaged the wisdom of the Guogong for half a lifetime, it is really pitiful and lamentable, and it is not a pity to die." ”
Zheng Chengyong asked blankly: "What does Zhang Gong mean by this, is the case of the second brother finally conclusive?" The second brother was killed by those generals? ”
Zhang Shuyuan looked at Zheng Chengyong and shook his head: "Shizi, this word general is not used casually. At that time, His Majesty Chrysostom said that our dynasty soldiers seek glory with military merits, regardless of origin. What is Drop? The generals were dissatisfied with Zhu Liang's weakness and the corruption of the government, so they abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, shed blood and sweat for me Li Yan, as long as they contribute to my Da Yan, they are my Da Yan soldiers! Whoever dares to look down on the bullying and bullying just wants to test the blood and courage of the soldier with his life! ”
Chengyong was ashamed of what he said, and hurriedly stood up and bowed and said: "Chengyong doesn't know what is going on, thank you for Zhang Gong's teaching." ”
Zhang Shuyuan nodded and said: "The prince is a person who understands, at this young age, Your Majesty handed over such an important errand as receiving foreign envoys to the prince, and also descended with the pearl of his palm. The reputation of the Duke of the Kingdom cannot be ruined in this matter. ”
Zheng Chengyong looked at Zhang Shuyuan with some understanding and some blankness, he understood what Zhang Shuyuan meant, but he didn't know what to do. Silently sent Zhang Shuyuan out, and watched Zhang Shuyuan's carriage go away, and was about to turn around, but saw Zhao Lili riding a small white horse, wearing a moon-white men's clothes, and running heroically in his direction from a distance.
Zheng Chengyong seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly shouted: "Ah Li! ”
Zhao Lili hit the horse and ran to him, flipped his slender right leg, jumped off the horse, and said with a smile: "Brother Chengyong, what are you doing standing here on this hot day?" ”
Zheng Chengyong tilted his head to look at his cousin, and said with a wry smile: "Ah Li, you really don't know anything?" If you do this, my brother will have to think about how to thank you. ”
Zhao Lili flicked the reins of the horse, handed the horse to the servant next to him, and motioned for them to leave. smiled: "Brother don't be polite, let's be our own family." Zheng and Zhao's two families, with the same spirit, I also see that Zheng Chengzhong's mind is so wrong, and he has done all the bad things, and now he has offended those arrogant soldiers who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and I am afraid that he will bring disaster to our two families, so it is like this. Is Xiaomei the one who kills innocents indiscriminately? ”
Zheng Chengyong said: "Of course my sister is kind, how can my brother not know? It's just that now that my father is bedridden, what should the Zheng family do in the future? ”
Zhao Lili smashed Zheng Chengyong with a horsewhip, pursed his lips and smiled, "You are really a fool!" That Hu Lingren can win the heart of the Lord like this, is he an ignorant person? Look at what he has been making trouble these days, the Patrol Division and the Jingzhao Yamen, which one has stepped forward to take charge? This is the Lord suppressing the Zheng family, so don't hurry up and write a guilty form! ”
Zheng Chengyong was shocked, but he couldn't find a trace of decadence on Zhao Lili's face, as if the emperor suppressed the Zheng family, as if it was a good thing, and said unhappily: "Ah Li, the Lord suppressed the Zheng family, I am afraid that the Zheng family will be finished." ”
Zhao Lili looked at him with hatred and hatred, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "Brother Chengyong, how can the Zheng family be so easy to suppress?" The left and right armies of the Holy Protector Army are all soldiers brought out by my uncle from my hometown! Except for the descendants of the Zheng family, who can command them? ”
Zheng Chengyong looked at Zhao Lili, as if he understood or not. He snorted, "So what? The Holy Protector is loyal to the Zheng family, and even more loyal to the Lord......"
Zhao Lili smashed Zheng Chengyong's waist with a horsewhip again, frowned, and said, "What are you thinking!" As long as you bow down and claim that the Zheng family will always be the pawn of the lord before the horse, the lord will definitely let you take over your uncle's class! Besides, there is a queen in the palace! She hasn't spoken, isn't it because it's not the Zheng family this time, but Zheng Chengzhong himself? You're a son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more painful it becomes! ”
Zheng Chengyong woke up like a dream, looked at Zhao Lili deeply, and praised: "Sister is a true girl, Zhuge is also!" "Ran back to the house as fast as he could.
