Chapter 54: Zhen Dashao's identity

The night was deep and the cold wind was blowing, it should have been a quiet winter night, but there was a group of people on the official road outside Songjiang City, and the horses in the front stepped on the hoarfrost that had just fallen, leaving a row of footprints, and then they were trampled by the horses behind.

The soldiers defending the city were nesting in the small room on the edge of the city and burning braziers to keep warm, and several of them curled up and fell asleep. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting outside.

disturbed the good sleep of the defenders, and the soldiers who were kicked out to see the situation were also holding back the fire in their stomachs, and when they came out, they were blown by the cold wind, and the fire was even more up.

Standing on the city wall, I saw a group of ironclad cavalry standing below, and this little soldier was also very knowledgeable, and shouted loudly: "Who, who, don't want to die, break into the city in the middle of the night?" ! ”

As soon as the soldier's words fell, a sharp arrow pierced through the void in the dark night, slashing through the side of the soldier's neck, tearing his shirt......

The soldiers defending the city were suddenly frightened, and as soon as their legs went limp, they fell. He trembled, turned his head to look at the arrow nailed to the city wall, only to see a small jade pendant hanging on the arrow, the jade pendant swayed lightly, and the lantern on the city tower emitted a dim light sprinkled on it, and the little soldier suddenly saw the golden dragon with teeth and claws on the jade pendant......

The dragon and phoenix pendant can only be worn by royals.

The little soldier took off the jade pendant on the arrow and got up and ran to the small room on the edge of the city, not daring to delay for a minute or a second.

The gate of Songjiang Castle creaked open, and a team of iron horsemen entered the city.

A man in black and a large mink in the team walked out and said in a deep voice, "Tonight's business." If it is revealed, the consequences will not be the missed arrow. ”

With a single sentence, the cavalry disappeared into the empty streets of Matsue Castle in the dark night.

The city chief hurriedly stopped the little soldier who was about to report to the governor of Songjiang City, kicked him hard, and said angrily: "Where to go!" Don't die! ”

Under the cover of night, the door of an inconspicuous courtyard opened from the inside, and in a few moments, the cavalry all entered the courtyard.

Standing behind the wall in the courtyard was the middle-aged guard beside the county lord of Yuanhua.

Seeing the dusty middle-aged man in front of him, he immediately knelt down respectfully and saluted, "Subordinate Congyan." Greetings to Your Highness. ”

King Jing stepped forward. Hold him up, "Etiquette is waived, tell me what's going on?" Can you see clearly? Is it really tenacity? ”

"The subordinates are afraid of startling the snake, and the county lord and his two husbands are also in Songjiang City after all. So I didn't immediately send someone to that house to investigate. But Zhen Dashao's appearance is six or seven points similar to that of your master, when you were young. ”

King Jing took a deep breath. Looking up at the cold night sky without a moon, there were already tears in his eyes.

If he can really find Renyan this time, then he is worthy of his wife who died early.

Who knows. The small city of Songjiang suddenly appeared so many big people when the New Year was approaching.

Early the next morning, the servants of the Zhen family had just gotten up, and before they began to sweep the courtyard, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

When I opened the courtyard door, I saw a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing standing outside the door, followed by two young guards, he just stood there and showed a majesty, but the middle-aged man in fancy clothes had gray hair, and he looked at the vicissitudes of life.

"This lord, what are you doing?"

"Come and find the head of your family."

The servants didn't dare to slack off when they saw these people dressed up, and hurriedly invited people to the backyard to inform, and invited people to the side hall of the front yard to wait.

Soon, the eldest and second masters hurriedly came from the backyard.

After a few people sat down, the eldest lord asked suspiciously, "Dare to ask this lord's noble surname, what is the matter with coming to our Zhen Mansion?" ”

King Jing put down the cup in his hand, and waved his hand to the people behind him, and suddenly the entire side hall was cleared except for the eldest master and the second master.

He glanced at the two men in front of him, and his face became more majestic, "I don't have much patience, so please tell the truth." ”

It was obviously a very ordinary tone, but the eldest master and the second master immediately felt cold sweat after hearing it.

"If this old man has anything, just say it. As long as we know it, we won't hide it from you. ”

"Zhen Hanxiao is your own child?" King Jing put out this sentence.

The two men almost fell off their chairs.

They never expected that the rather dignified middle-aged man in front of them would ask this question out of the mouth.

The old man trembled his lips and was speechless.

The second old man frequently looked at the eldest master.

King Jing saw that their faces were different, his heart was excited and nervous, he sent people to search for so many years, but he didn't find any trace of his son, usually even if there was the slightest clue, he would not give up, let alone this time.

He took out a jade pendant from his cuff and put it on the table, it was still the dragon pattern jade pendant, but it was more deterrent than anything.

After the eldest lord saw this jade pendant, he looked at the man opposite in disbelief, and then suddenly bowed his head in fright.

Suddenly, he pulled the second master to kneel down in front of King Jing, "Boss...... It's true that the boss is not born in our family. ”

Throwing out this jade pendant, King Jing's questioning became extremely smooth.

learned that Zhen Hanxiao was entrusted to the Zhen family by a seriously injured man, and the man was covered in blood at that time, but he used the expensive jewelry on his body to buy the Zhen family, asking them to raise Zhen Hanxiao as a parent, and at the same time threatened and intimidated him, before dragging his crippled body away.

At that time, the Zhen family was poor, and when they saw so many valuable jewels at first glance, how could they not be moved, so they took over Zhen Hanxiao, Zhen Hanxiao was only in infancy at that time, and later no one knew that Zhen Hanxiao was someone else's child except for a few elders of the Zhen family.

Under the pressure of King Jing, the eldest master even went to find the swaddling clothes used by Zhen Hanxiao back then.

The silk cloth and knitting and embroidery are clearly from the weaving bureau in the palace!

King Jing clutched the piece of fabric, his whole body trembling slightly from excitement, his tenacity was finally found!

"Did the child have a token on him at the time?"

The eldest lord was hesitant, and was reprimanded by the guards behind King Jing, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... There is a long-life lock, but it was ...... back then I was treated as a ...... by the little one."

When King Jing came out of Zhen's house, he couldn't hold back any longer, got into the carriage and went straight to the west of the city.

He has been looking for more than 20 years, and today he can finally see his parents and children, and he can't wait to run to Zhen Hanxiao's side immediately.

But as he got closer and closer to Zhen Hanxiao's courtyard, King Jing felt a little apprehensive.

At the corner not far away, King Jing ordered the carriage to stop, he found a tea house to sit down, asked for a bowl of coarse tea, and stared at the courtyard door.

It's a pity that after nearly an hour, I didn't see Zhen Hanxiao's figure, only a few waves of people came in and out of the house, and it seemed that they were going to help the house buy something.

King Jing was curious, so he asked the guy in the tea house nearby.

The guy smiled, "Master, you mean that family, the people who come and go are all the shopkeepers in the city, Zhen Dashao is going to have a happy event, so you can't rush to prepare!" (To be continued......)
