Chapter 144: Condolence
Zhou Zheng didn't know if Huang Weihuai really had an old friend in Shenyang, or if there were people in the imperial court or Yuan Chonghuan in Shenyang.
He didn't ask too much, and after eating, he read a book for a while, washed up and prepared to rest.
It was already dark, and Huang Weihuai still hadn't come back.
I don't know how long it took, but footsteps sounded outside Zhou Zheng's door. Huang Weihuai came back drunk, looked at the two guards and said, "Zhou Zhengyun didn't go out, right?" ”
One of the guards hurriedly whispered, "Don't worry, my lord, we'll watch it." ”
"I'm asking you, has he ever been out?" Huang Weihuai's voice was a little louder, and his expression was solemn. Obviously, he didn't think that these two guards would be able to see Zhou Zheng either.
"No, no, I didn't even get out of the door." The other hurriedly replied. Huang Weihuai, the mastermind, still has a lot of power, not to mention anything else, going back to sue them is a lawsuit.
Huang Weihuai glanced at the two of them, and then left satisfied.
Zhou Zheng slept in a daze, listened to the roughly, but didn't bother to care, and continued to sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng was woken up, washed, and finished breakfast, thinking that he was going to go out of the city to visit Nurhachi's grave, but he didn't expect that Jianyu changed his mind and did not let Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng go out of the city, but in the city, the ancestral temple of the captives was built to worship Nurhachi.
The so-called ancestral temple is modeled after the ancestral temple of the Han people, which is dedicated to the ancestors of the Aixin Jueluo family, including the recently deceased Nurhachi.
Moreover, the Jianyu people are not allowed to go too many people, only Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng are allowed.
Huang Weihuai didn't know why, he seemed to be in a good mood today, glanced at the Jianyu people with bright armor and long knives at his waist, and said in a low voice with Zhou Zheng: "If it goes well, we can leave today, don't make trouble." ”
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, had a bad premonition, and said, "You went to see Huang Taiji yesterday?" ”
Huang Weihuai didn't answer, but threatened: "You should know that you have offended the Jianyu people, don't talk nonsense if you don't want to die." ”
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, and his premonition came true. Judging from Huang Weihuai's expression, he should have received some promises from Huang Taiji, some promises that made Huang Weihuai, or Yuan Chonghuan feel at ease and happy.
It's the kind of promise that Yuan Chonghuan wants!
It's just that this promise is 100% a hoax and strategically misleading. When Yuan Chonghuan reacts, it must be that the general trend has gone!
Zhou Zheng's face did not move, ignoring Huang Weihuai's threat. He already had a plan in his heart, and he was calm and unpanicked.
Huang Weihuai saw that Zhou Zheng didn't speak, and he was in a better mood.
The Jianyu people on both sides were 'escorting' Zhou Zheng and Huang Weihuai, and it didn't take long for them to come to Shenyang City and build the ancestral temple of the captives.
This ancestral temple is modeled after the Han people, the style is very similar, but the scale is extremely small, and the style is also a little nondescript, which looks quite shabby.
Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng entered the ancestral temple, came directly to the spiritual position, and looked at the spirit cards, both of them were expressionless, with a trace of respect.
This time the condolences were just a pretense, Huang Weihuai looked around, and said in a low voice with Zhou Zheng: "Just stand and go, don't do superfluous things." ”
Zhou Zheng hummed in a low voice, Nurhachi is the object of hatred of Da Ming Shilin, if they worship, even if they have a little name, they don't know how many people will become targets after returning to Beijing.
The two of them just stood like this, and after a while they were about to turn and leave.
Suddenly, a big man came in, blocked Zhou Zheng, and said in a deep voice in broken Chinese: "You, kneel down and kowtow!" ”
Naturally, it was not Zhou Zheng, Huang Weihuai kowtowed to him, but to Nurhachi's spiritual position.
Huang Weihuai's expression remained unchanged and said, "We Chinese kneel to our parents, and never kneel to others. ”
The big man in front of him was stunned, and seemed to be struggling to understand this sentence, and not long after, he drew his knife and said coldly: "If you don't kneel, you will die here!" ”
Huang Weihuai raised his eyelids, looked directly at him and said, "I only saw you sweating profusely yesterday, so you have to be presumptuous!" ”
"You!"
This big man's face was pale, his nostrils were white, and he said angrily: "Either kneel, or I will break your legs!" ”
Huang Weihuai's eyes were vigilant, he didn't speak, and looked at Zhou Zheng with his spare eyes.
Zhou Zheng saw it, looked up at the big man, and said lightly: "You can stand up if you interrupt, you can cut it directly." ”
It's impossible to kneel, and if you have the ability, you can really cut off my legs!
The big man turned to Zhou Zheng, his eyes flashed with annoyance, and the long knife in his hand trembled slightly, ready to move.
He listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and suddenly shouted and screamed.
Immediately, six or seven people poured out of the mourning hall, standing at the door, staring at Zhou Zheng and Huang Weihuai with a fierce face.
Huang Weihuai's scalp is tight, he is not afraid of death, and he is not afraid of breaking his leg, but if he is broken and kneeling to Nurhachi, it will be a great shame, and he can't accept it!
He had no choice but to continue to look at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng glanced at the guards, bent down and rolled up his pants, and said to the big man: "This is the knee, it is more difficult to get a knife head-on, here, do you see it?" After all, the bones are brittle, you can cut them down with a single knife, and you have to kneel if you don't kneel, come on......"
The big man looked at Zhou Zheng rolling up his trouser legs, revealing his smooth calves, his expression became more and more ugly, and his eyes were hideous. His chest heaved, his anger accumulating, and the white gas that erupted from his nose grew more and longer.
Naturally, he didn't really want to cut off Zhou Zheng and Huang Weihuai's legs, he was ordered to give Ma Wei and let the so-called 'Qin envoys' of the Ming Dynasty know how powerful their Dajin Kingdom was!
But these two Ming people don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they dare to provoke him!
It's just looking for death!
Dahan is Huang Taiji's son-in-law, and he assessed the price of cutting off these two people in his heart, and his hand was slowly raised.
Huang Weihuai's body couldn't help shaking, he had already turned his head, his expression was solemn, and he looked at Zhou Zheng with fear in his eyes.
Zhou Zheng was still bent over, rolled up his other leg again, and said: "Cut it down, it's best to be symmetrical, otherwise it won't look good, kneeling one long and one short, your ancestors are not happy to see it, right?" By the way, don't use the knife in your hand, it's not sharp enough, you have to be quick and accurate when you cut it, so that the cut is neat, and I won't be so painful......"
The big man's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, waved his hand violently, and muttered.
The six guards immediately rushed in, and at the same time drew their swords, they were about to greet Zhou Zheng and Huang Weihuai.
Huang Weihuai's expression changed greatly, and he hated it even more in his heart, he shouldn't have counted on Zhou Zheng, he has no hair on his mouth, and he can't do things well!
At the same time, my mind is racing about how to deal with the situation in front of me.
They can't really be cut off and kneel in front of Nurhachi's spiritual seat, otherwise they will definitely become a joke for the ages!
Zhou Zhengyi was not afraid, calmly, still gesturing, telling this big man how to cut.
Just as the six guards were about to get in front of Zhou Zheng, a cold drink came in from outside.
The six guards stiffened, even Huang Taiji's son-in-law, this big man's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to look out of the door.
