Chapter 570: Wei Guogong Tears Up the Marriage Contract
Wei Guogong spoke sternly again: "Why didn't Lord Zheng sit down, didn't you hear the words of your father?"
"Please forgive me, Lord Guogong, my father is here, and the lower officials really dare not sit down. "Zheng Haonan is about to cry, isn't this nothing to come to the door to find abuse?
"What is your father's position?" asked Wei Guogong indifferently.
Zheng Haonan bowed down and said: "Lord Guoguo, my father has no official body. ”
"That's just a small household, this is not a family gathering, we are talking about the court etiquette law rather than the family etiquette law, you are a court official, and your own country must maintain the court rules, so please sit down, you must also sit down. Your father is a small householder, and there is no seat for him here. Wei Guogong said coldly.
"Please be gracious, the lower officials are really embarrassed. Zheng Haonan bowed again and said in a long mournful voice.
"Shut up, let you sit and sit, the old man can stand. Zheng Long said to his son with a pale face. Wei Guogong's dismissal was too ruthless, and he never expected it.
He thought that even if Wei Guogong helped Chen Musa, he could only work hard in secret, and he would not put it on the surface, let alone take all the things on himself. Unexpectedly, Wei Guogong acted like this, leaving no emotion at all, Zheng Long was a little flustered.
"Lord Guogong, Xia Guan would rather be cut down for disobeying the court's etiquette and law, and he would not dare to violate the family rules. Zheng Haonan also let go.
Although he sat down according to the court etiquette, his father would not blame him, but the strict education he received since he was a child made him never dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi. In order to maintain his father's dignity, he was willing to jump even into the fire pit.
"Well, it's not difficult for you to be the official, so you can quit, so as not to be embarrassed again. Wei Guogong waved his hand lightly.
"Thank you, Lord Hong. After Zheng Haonan bowed down and thanked him, he went out backwards.
"Lord Guogong is so majestic. Zheng Long sneered.
"You, a small householder, don't actually kneel and bow in front of your own father, do you want to flout the etiquette of the imperial court?" Wei Guogong looked at him coldly, like looking at an ant on the ground.
"The grass people are the citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and they only worship heaven and earth in their lives, and only worship the king's own teacher. Zheng Long said proudly.
"Well, very backbone. Zheng Haomin. Wei Guogong named.
"Xia Guan is here. Zheng Haomin hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt down.
"You are an official of the imperial court, you know the etiquette of the imperial court, you come to eliminate your father's illiteracy. Wei Guogong's tone was stern.
"This ...... The lower officials did not dare. Zheng Haomin knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"In-laws, will you only rely on the obscenity of the Zhongshan Palace?" Zheng Long's eyes were bloodshot, how could he have suffered such humiliation in his life, in Fuzhou and even the whole province of Fujian, he had seen enough court officials, and the nobles had not seen each other, they were all courteous, and those people were still afraid of him.
"Zheng Long, if you dare to call your in-laws again, your country's father-in-law will cut your tongue immediately, believe it or not. Wei Guogong slapped the stunned wood.
The public case and the shocking wood were all transported from the yamen of the Suzhou prefect.
This is not a violation, as long as the Duke of Wei is there, a court can be set up anywhere to directly deal with the military and political affairs of Jiangnan, which is a privilege granted by the imperial court.
"Father, son, please. Zheng Haomin turned to his father, kowtowed, and his forehead was bleeding.
The sons behind him also knelt down and prostrate: "Father." ”
Zheng Boyong, who was standing at the end, did not kneel, but collapsed directly to the ground.
Zheng Long stared at Wei Guogong, and suddenly softened, he had already realized that Wei Guogong was really here, as long as he dared to try, his tongue was definitely gone, the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, and the strong dragon did not suppress the snake.
It's just that he thinks wrong about one thing, he is the head snake of the land, Wei Guogong is a strong dragon everywhere, and he is half an emperor in the generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Behind the chairs on both sides, the guards who stood with their hands on the hilts of their knives did not hesitate to throw these people into the oil pan and fry them at the slightest order, not to mention cutting their tongues.
"I respectfully obey the decree of the Lord. Zheng Long arched his hand.
"Well, it's good to be obedient, my country's duke likes obedient people, and for those who are disobedient and talk nonsense, I have to cut off his tongue first. Wei Guogong coldly glanced at the people below, feeling that this time Ma Wei was almost over, and it was time to get to the point.
"Zheng Long, you despise the court's etiquette and law, you should be punished, remember that you have several sons who are officials in the court, and the prince will give them some face, please sit down. ”
"Thank you, Lord Hong. Zheng Haomin and others were overjoyed.
Zheng Long sat down, but Zheng Haomin and the others didn't dare to sit, but stood behind him. At this time, Zheng Boyong regretted his death in his heart, he knew this, what kind of anger should he have, not to mention that he pointed at his nose and scolded, even if he knelt and kowtowed to him, as long as he left a life, he would still be a dragon when he returned to Fuzhou.
He suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart: I am afraid that this time it is impossible to escape.
"Zheng Haoze. Wei Guogong shouted.
"Xiaguan Zheng Haoze is here, knocking on Lord Guogong. ”
"You are a counselor, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and your own government is also among your supervision. Wei Guogong said coldly.
"The lower officials don't dare. ”
"There's nothing you don't dare, you can do this today, record all the things in the hall, and then impeach me to the court. Wei Guogong said solemnly.
"Don't dare, the lower officials will definitely not dare to impeach the Duke of the Kingdom. Zheng Haoze's body shook.
"No, you have to impeach me!" Wei Guogong drank.
"Yes, the lower officials will definitely impeach the prince. Zheng Haoze cried directly.
He thought to himself, if I impeach a fart, isn't that looking for death? As for today's trivial matter, what if the bullet is up, the court will not pay attention to it, that is, he will stay in the middle and not send it, and his career will come to an end. Nanjing is not as good as Beijing, this place is not at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but the territory of the Zhongshan Palace.
Zheng Haoze thought about it, as long as he went up the bullet seal, he would immediately abandon the official and return to his hometown, and this official was resolutely unable to be an official.
Since he has said this, he doesn't dare not write a bullet stamp, otherwise he may not even be able to go back to his hometown.
"Waste, the Zheng family sheds blood without tears. Zheng Long watched his son cry when he was frightened by Wei Guogong, Huo Ran stood up and scolded.
"Zheng Long, do you want to roar the court?" Wei Guogong slapped it again.
Zheng Long was taken aback, and immediately bowed down and said, "Don't dare, it's the grass people's impulse, please forgive me." ”
Only then did he realize that this was no longer the living room of the Chen family's hospitality, but the court of Wei Guogong. If Wei Guogong really used this charge to beat him with a hundred boards, he would have nowhere to sue.
Behind the public case, there was a curtain, and in the curtain sat pomegranates and silk.
The three of them sat opposite each other in a triangle, holding the hand of the pomegranate, and the pomegranate holding the hand. The three of them heard the movement outside clearly.
Besides, he clenched his fist and waved it twice from time to time, and his face was even more excited: enjoyable, really enjoyable.
He didn't expect Wei Guogong to be so ruthless, and he didn't save any face for the Zheng family at all, which was even more ruthless than he imagined.
He just wanted to dispose of the Zheng family secretly, but Wei Guogong was ruthlessly humiliating the Zheng family. Killing people is not enough, Wei Guogong's dismissal is even more powerful than killing the Zheng family.
Besides, I was grateful in my heart, knowing that this was Wei Guogong being angry for him, and it was also to prevent him from taking action privately in the future. It may also be at the behest of the teacher.
"Zheng Long, I heard that you have a so-called marriage contract, and I will submit it to my country to verify the authenticity. Wei Guogong said coldly.
"Yes. "Wei Guogong's two Jin Tangmu are not playing with each other, and Zheng Long doesn't dare to be stubborn, otherwise he will really suffer a loss in front of him.
He took out the marriage book, held it in both hands, and a guard walked over, and after receiving it, he bowed down and walked to the public case, and presented it to Wei Guogong.
After Wei Guogong got it, he saw that it was indeed a marriage contract, and tore it apart with both hands: "This is forged, not a marriage contract at all." ”
Zheng Long's eyes erupted with fire, he couldn't imagine that there were still people in the world who dared to flout the marriage contract, this was a legal document that even the emperor could not repeal.
"Lord Guogong, you actually tore up the marriage contract between the Zheng and Chen families?" Zheng Long was so angry that his hands trembled.
"What if it's torn, it's just a piece of forged waste paper, if you are not convinced, you can sue me, you said last time you wanted to go to Fuzhou for a lawsuit, yes, this lawsuit is taken by the local government, as long as the Fuzhou Yamen dares to issue a summons, the national government will take 10,000 soldiers and horses to Fuzhou to fight this lawsuit, and by the way, sweep away some pirates for the imperial court. ”
"Master Zheng, you can also impeach me, impeach me for tearing up the marriage contract forged by your Zheng family. Wei Guogong sneered.
Zheng Haonan, who was standing outside the lobby door, was speechless, and he couldn't find the door to cry now.
He was an official in Nanjing, of course, he was clear about the character of Wei Guogong, the old prince has always been kind and polite, never oppressed people with the title of Guogong, elegant and chaste, and was a generation of pure ministers.
Unexpectedly, today, this Duke of Wei seems to have changed into a different person, he is purely unreasonable and a hooligan, and he can do things such as tearing up the marriage contract.
The Zheng family's reliance is that Wei Guogong will definitely cherish his reputation, will definitely abide by the etiquette laws and regulations of the imperial court, and will never do anything out of line, but in fact, Wei Guogong is not only out of line today, but also out of line.
Zheng Long's heart sank, he understood what Wei Guogong thought.
Wei Guogong knew that he was a pirate smuggler, who had no scruples and unscrupulous means to do things, so he played the same card, and wanted to be ruthless, unscrupulous, and hooligan. But he is not here to be ruthless or a hooligan today, he wants to reason today, and wants to defeat the other party by relying on the noble legal effect of the marriage contract. However, Wei Guogong ignored this set and completely used the Jianghu routine to play cards, which disrupted all their plans at once.
Besides, he couldn't help but clapped his hands softly and secretly shouted: What a move, he will treat others in his own way!
"Although Grandpa Guo tears it, there is still the same one in the grass people's house. Zheng Long sneered.
Wei Guogong laughed and said: "I'll just say that you forged it, there should indeed be two copies of the marriage contract, and each of the engaged parties should hold one copy, how can it be that both copies are in your hands? Lord Zheng, this detail must be clearly written on the document to impeach me, and not a word must be missed. ”
