Chapter 441: Zheng Family Affairs
Zheng An frowned, looked at Xuan Shijing, and then looked at the two lists in front of him, and finally picked up the list and compared it carefully. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"These two lists, one is the list of those who met in the Xuanwu Building after the palace examination and the same hall examination, and the other is the list of candidates suspected of cheating in the spring hall displayed on the court recital." Xuan Shijing said: "Is it that seventy percent of the people on the two lists are the same?" ”
Zheng An quickly skimmed through the two lists in his hand, then raised his head to look at Xuan Shijing and nodded: "That's true." ”
"However, on the day of your party, in the Xuanwu Building, you had a dispute with the people of the Zheng family, that person is now the second son of the Zheng family, Zheng Feng, Ben Hou is right."
Zheng An nodded: "So, Xuanhou, you suspect that this matter is actually the Zheng family behind the scenes?" ”
"That's right, but it's just a suspicion, and there are too many places in this suspicion that can't stand, so Ben Hou wants to find you, ask what is going on, and want to find out if the grievances between you and the Zheng family are enough for the Zheng family to deal with you." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
"Well, my grievances with the Zheng family have to start from many years ago, and the cause is also because of the second son of the Zheng family, Zheng Feng." Zheng An said slowly: "My mother is just a maid of the Zheng family, because of the military disaster, the family can't afford to support, so she was sold into the Zheng family, between the head of the Zheng family and my mother, it was just a mistake after drinking, when my mother gave birth to me, she was only sixteen years old, because I was born early, so after giving birth to me, my mother's health has been bad, and the cold and summer can't stop herbal conditioning, but even if my mother gave birth to a son for the Zheng family, she still can't change her status. On the contrary, because of the birth of a son earlier than the main room and not less by the main room of the harassment and squeeze, from the beginning of my impression, I and my mother and mother lived in a remote courtyard of the Zheng family, the Zheng family's subordinates are basically watching people cook, deducting our mother and son's food and clothing is also a common thing, and later, it should be when I was more than ten years old, my mother died in a serious illness, fortunately, the Zheng family has always had a good relationship with my mother The maid has been taking care of me in the courtyard, so that I will not starve to death in the Zheng family, But my mother was killed because of the Zheng family, and I will never be able to let go of this matter, but I can't let it go anymore, I don't have enough capital to confront the Zheng family, so everything is empty talk, so I can only whisper and ask the steward of the Zheng family's study, asking him to lend me basic books and teach me to read, and the steward can't stand my request, so he began to teach me to read, so I decided to study hard. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng An's tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes, and today he confided his thoughts, touching the weakest place in his memory, making him think of his mother and his mother's appearance before she died.
And in the face of Zheng An at this time, Xuan Shijing couldn't help, so he could only reply with an encouraging look.
What happened to Zheng An, maybe it is a common thing in many big families, being sold to the house as a girl, then the whole person is the main family, even if the head of the Zheng family was wrong at that time, but in this era, it is not wrong, so, because of this, there have been countless tragedies like Zheng An and his mother, maybe after one night, the head of the Zheng family did not know that the maid was pregnant with his flesh and blood, maybe it was only when Zheng An's mother was in labor that the head of the Zheng family knew that he had an extra son.
Because of Zheng An's mother's identity, it is destined that the status of their mother and son in the Zheng family will not be too high, and Zheng An will not get much attention.
"And then?" After seeing that Zheng An's mood had calmed down a little, Xuan Shijing continued to ask.
"Later, when I was sixteen years old, I went to the study to get a few books to read as usual, and at the door of the study, I met Zheng Feng." Zheng An said: "It was also at that time that there was a bond with Zheng Feng, and the reason was nothing more than Zheng Feng insulting my mother, and I couldn't look past it, so I beat him." Speaking of this, Zheng An showed a touch of sarcasm on his face and sneered: "However, in the end, Zheng Feng was fine, but I was kicked out of the Zheng family by the housewife of the Zheng family at that time." ”
There is no doubt that Zheng An's childhood was miserable, and it was also because of this that he buried hatred for the Zheng family in Zheng An's heart, because of the Zheng family, Zheng An's mother fell, and because of Zheng Feng, Zheng An was kicked out of the Zheng family and lived a life without food for many years.
Maybe Zheng An can have such achievements now, all by virtue of the strength in his heart, and he has rushed to the present.
But now, finally with all this, the Zheng family is going to come out to destroy again, which makes Zheng An how not to hate, since he was kicked out of the Zheng family at the age of sixteen, Zheng An was born in the settlement outside Chang'an City, while going out to help others do odd jobs, while using the money earned to buy books and read, studying hard for more than ten years, once the carp jumped into the dragon gate, and now he fell into the case of cheating in Chunqiu for no reason.
Xuan Shijing was also thinking that this Zheng An participated in the palace test of the Taiji Palace, and he was also the first prize in the palace test appointed by His Majesty Li Er, and his literary talents were outstanding, so he was recognized by His Majesty Li Er, why could he still be questioned?
It's just that the information Qin Bingyue got back made Xuan Shijing understand that whether it was the questions of the Spring Exam or the questions of the palace exam, they had been prepared in advance, so people would catch this excuse and talk about it.
It's just that if the test questions of Chunyu are placed in the ministry, they may be leaked out, but the test questions of the palace test have always been placed in the palace, which is a little too much to say.
After Xuan Shijing heard what happened to Zheng An, he began to think about this matter carefully, perhaps, this matter was a conspiracy that had been arranged before the Spring Exam?
But what are the benefits of doing so? To whom are these things arranged? Zheng An? I'm afraid that one Zheng An is not enough to make people so scheming, and now it seems that the Zheng family, nine times out of ten, is also being used, and it is being used to make a big fuss about Zheng An and the Zheng family, and then the Zheng family is pushed out as an obstacle to hinder the investigation and handling of the case by Dali Temple and the Shenhou Mansion.
If the plan succeeds, in the end, the one who bears the blame will be the Zheng family.
Now Xuan Shijing has a clear outline in his mind, although everything is just his speculation, but he might as well investigate according to this speculation that is sixty percent true, maybe the harvest will be unexpected.
