Chapter 440: A court fight
Although Sheng Weiqiao was very suspicious of Rong Sleeping Crane, she had no chance to confirm it: Rong Sleeping Crane was sent away that day.
When he left, he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Sheng Weiqiao in person.
Sheng Lanci and his wife explained to their daughter after Rong Sleeping Crane left: "When he went south, the reason he said was to visit your mother, and now that Yuan'er is full moon, it is easy for him to continue to stay and arouse suspicion! If we have decided to marry you to him at this time, it will be fine; but we have decided to go to Chang'an to investigate again, what if something happens in the middle? ! ”
"Mainly when you went south, didn't you still meet pirates?" Feng added to her husband on the side, "If you teach the world to know about your affair with him now, when you turn back to the north, God knows if the Meng clan will send people to pretend to be pirates to intercept and kill them? ”
"Second, he went south this time, and your family affairs are only one of them, and he also has other serious things. Sheng Lanci waited for his wife to finish speaking and continued, "For example, Tortoiseshell Island...... So we asked him to take the Gongsun clan to Chang'an to explain first. ”
Sheng Weiqiao subconsciously said: "The Meng clan will definitely not let this matter go, in case he goes back alone and doesn't handle it well......"
"Then we don't need to marry you to him!" Sheng Lanci and his wife both looked calm and said calmly, "Such a little thing can't be settled, how can we rest assured that we will marry you to him?!"
Feng Shi said earnestly: "Good girl, our family is not short of money, nor is we eager to be powerful, the only thing we want is to find you a good husband who can be relied on! So the person who marries you can have no money, can be temporarily powerless, and even if the status is low at this time, it doesn't matter, but we must have the ability to protect you and shelter you from the wind and rain! Otherwise, we might as well recruit you, or say something unpleasant, and buy you two good-looking little men to serve!"
"Anyway, as long as it's your own flesh and blood, it's our grandson!"
Sheng Weiqiao: "......"
She calmed down and said, "But Hawksbill Island...... In this matter, our family can be regarded as having helped him hide it, if he goes back alone to confess, he can't hold back, and if he is exposed, won't he expose us?"
"Good girl, don't worry about this!" Sheng Lanci said kindly, "Not to mention that kid swore that he would not betray our family no matter what, how could his father and mother be the kind of person who would give him the opportunity to climb?
Feng Shi nodded as a matter of course: "Although it is said that your father took a fancy to his character of knowing kindness at that time, so he decided to recognize him as his son." But after all, he is an outsider, and our family has a lot of property, what if he can't hold it after knowing our family's background, and wants to oppose the customer, but also wants to be unfavorable to you?
"......" Sheng Weiqiao was speechless again: When you were pregnant because of your mother last year, you looked twice as good to Rong Sleeping Crane, and I wanted to respect my "brother" from time to time...... Among the three members of the family at the time, I was the most sincere to that guy!
At least she hated him when she wanted to kick him out!
How is it like my own father and mother......
"There is no such consideration for a rainy day, and the Sheng family will not have today!" Seeing her daughter's thoughts, Sheng Lan said in resignation, "And those back-ups, as long as the king of Mizhen County does not take revenge, our family will not do anything to him, just in case!
Sheng Weiqiao sighed secretly when he heard this, knowing that he couldn't move his father and mother to help Rong Shenghe, so he had to ask listlessly: "By the way, Mizhen is gone, what about Li Shengxu?"
"Yichun Hou doesn't plan to rob your father and mother of your little liver, what are we going to do with him?" Feng Shi smiled when he heard this, stretched out his finger and pointed at his daughter's forehead, and said, "Hou Ye is still living in the guest house, it seems that he was dragged out to sea by the King of Mizhen County a few days ago, and he lived outside for two days before coming back...... We are too lazy to take care of their affairs at this time. However, Hou Ye also revealed to us yesterday that he wanted to say goodbye, saying that he was going to visit his sister in Guiluo County next door and next door. ”
"I've already discussed with your father, and I'll send Sheng Fu to be his guide. Our family also has some industries in Guiluo County, Sheng Fu has been there to inspect before, and everyone is familiar with it, if there is something to do, it can also help. ”
After a deep sigh, he said, "This Hou Ye plans to visit his three sisters and then return to Chang'an, we have asked, his three sisters are all in the south, and it will take about a month or two to go back and forth." It just so happens that your father, as well as your grandfather, grandmother, and your aunt go north this time, and it is not a trivial matter, and it always takes some time to prepare. So he's visiting relatives over there, let's just pack up our things, and then we just go to Chang'an together!"
Sheng Weiqiao deduced from his mother's words that Rong Sleeping Crane really took advantage of Li Shengxu, so the matter of Tortoiseshell Island, there was a disguise, according to the plan he said before, with the support of the Gaomi King of Chang'an, it may not reveal Rong Sleeping Crane's past?
I am not afraid that King Gaomi will not help in this matter, because even if you don't consider the attitude of Princess Gaomi, King Gaomi's own son grew up in the bandits' den, and now he still wants to recruit this group of bandits.
So no matter what King Gaomi thinks about Rong Sleeping Crane's son in his heart, in this matter, he can really only come to the yin, and how can he help his son on the surface.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Sheng Fu is the most powerful person under my father, with him accompanying Li Shengxu to visit relatives, and there is my father's face in the south, I don't think anything will go wrong." ”
In fact, there is really nothing wrong, after Sheng Fu accompanied Li Shengxu to set off, the news sent back in the middle was that Li Shengxu's three sisters were very respected in her husband's family, except that she missed the eldest princess of Wuyang and Li Shengxu because of her distant marriage, she usually didn't have anything to worry about.
Even the second sister Li Shengsi, who has only given birth to two daughters and no sons, her husband didn't say anything about her, and he also doted on the two daughters.
"The eldest princess of Wuyang is so exquisite, and her vision is naturally not bad. When Sheng Weiqiao heard the news, she said with a smile, "Her three daughters are all married far away, and this candidate must be chosen more and more." It seems that none of the three sons-in-law chosen by the eldest princess are eye-catching. ”
At this time, it happened that Xiquan sent a plate of Shiguo to her for the Feng family, and when she heard this, she quipped: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also took a fancy to the county lord to be her daughter-in-law before?"
"Auntie!" Sheng Weiqiao glanced at her with disgust, "You watched me grow up, and you came to bully me?"
"How can this be called bullying?" Hosoquan smiled, "It's not that the county lord is too powerful, the slave maid thinks that the county lord has always been delicate...... Worried?"
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, her eyes rolled and she hurriedly came to her side: "Auntie, have you heard something?"
Xiquan looked at his county lord's coquettish appearance with amusement, and after a while, he said, "It's not a big deal......, right?" Didn't the king of the county arrive in Chang'an with the people from Tortoiseshell Island two days ago? In the court, the faction of King Gaomi and the faction of the Meng clan argued endlessly over this matter. ”
She showed a look of incredulity, "Probably because the Son of Heaven is not in the court, no one is pressing, so King Gaomi moved his hand as he talked to Meng...... It is said that this is not the first time! Because of the prosperity of the Meng clan, this kind of big fight in the court in the past has suffered a lot from the side of King Gaomi! As a result, this time the king of the county is also there, guess what?"
Sheng Weiqiao raised his hand to support his forehead and said, "What else can he do? If he doesn't carry all the fights from the Meng clan out of the imperial city, then his subordinates will show mercy!"
You don't have to guess this!
Because it was a fight in the court, it was difficult for the guards and personal soldiers of each family in that place to bring it, so they could only rely on their own force.
Then the Meng family is more powerful, the family is there, Zheng Guogong's generation has the conditions to practice martial arts, it is not easy to say, it is Meng Guiyu's generation, calculate the age, the older ones, the Empress Dowager Meng was in her teens when she was in her early years, where is it better than Rong Sleeping Crane who was five years old and fell into the bandits' den, and he had to start struggling for survival?
Meng's grandchildren basically have all kinds of cultivation since birth, but the children of the family who are both civil and military, how can they be compared to the best people who came out of the land of tigers and wolves on Tortoiseshell Island?
To be reasonable, let the sleeping crane slaughter them with his bare hands, they are all just a gesture, okay?
…… Well, if it weren't for the fact that the Meng clan still had a Meng Boqin, sitting in the northern Xinjiang and holding military power, with Sheng Weiqiao's understanding of Rong Sleeping Crane, this person might not be able to do the bloody things of the court.
"Isn't it?" said with a smile on his face, "It is said that that that day, except for Zheng Guogong, Wu'an Hou, and Chengyang Hou, who were old and did not participate in the action, the other children of the Meng clan were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and a few of them had a particularly flamboyant attitude, and they were really carried out of the imperial city!"
Sheng Weiqiao held his forehead again: "Meng Shi will definitely not just forget it...... How's this going?"
"It's the court brawl, it's all a flying pigeon, that's why I received the news now!" Hosoizumi said, "The follow-up of this matter will have to wait a few days to know." ”
As soon as she said this, Sheng Weiqiao was immediately worried, because of her different backgrounds and experiences, it was commonplace for Rong Sleeping Crane to fight and kill, and nothing was trivial for her.
At this moment, he immediately became worried, and said secretly: "Why is this person so unbreathable?!" If his father, King Gaomi, is sincere to him, and he is a person who beats the Meng clan in the court, after all, King Gaomi will carry him, and he may not be afraid of anything. But the King of Gaomi sent someone to pretend that the pirates had attacked him, could such a father still believe it......? What if King Gaomi takes advantage of this matter to hand him over to the Meng clan in order to eradicate him?!"
…… King Gaomi, who was far away in Chang'an, didn't know that his son had smeared himself in front of his prospective daughter-in-law, but in the matter of Rong Sleeping Crane beating the Meng family violently, he really had the idea of pushing the boat to hand over Rong Sleeping Crane to Meng for disposal, so as to borrow Meng's hand to remove obstacles for his favorite son.
But it's just an idea......
If he really did this, his princess would definitely not fight with him, but would want his life......
Therefore, King Gaomi could only regretfully give up this plan, but this did not prevent him from scolding Rong Sleeping Crane on the pretext: "You bastard! What are you doing!? There are so many people in the Meng clan ......
"There are so many people in the Meng family, why didn't they kill you directly in the court?!" Then before he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by his impatient little son with an understatement, and said coldly, "Or should I stand by the side and watch the next time you are about to be beaten?!"
After speaking, he didn't care how embarrassed King Gaomi, whose face was into the color of pig liver, ignored the fact that Shizi Rong Qingchu was at a loss and tried to round the field, turned around and pushed open the study, and walked away with his sleeves in such a grand manner!
"Father, why did the third brother take action today to protect us, if you say something like that, it's no wonder he is cold!" Seeing this, Rong Qingchu hesitated between chasing him back and taking care of his father, but in the end he still stepped forward with his robe, supported King Gaomi, and said sadly while helping, "The child has already said that he doesn't want to fight with the third brother for anything." Why do you ......?"
Halfway through his words, King Gaomi, who was trembling with anger, interrupted sharply: "As for his disobedience to Lao Tzu just now, he will dare to kick Lao Tzu at this time, and I am afraid that I will not kill my father in the future?! Such a bastard, you still have to say let him, you are afraid that Lao Tzu will not be desolate in his old age, right?!"
Rong Qingchu was immediately silenced in fright!
It's just that the father and son don't know that the bastard of Rong Sleeping Crane is not over yet!
After leaving King Gaomi's study, he went to do something even more jerky without stopping!
