Chapter 58: Father and Son

The guards on the side took the blood-stained saber from Zeng Hanru's hand, and wiped it very carefully, until the saber regained its terrifying light, and then exchanged it into the old commander's hand.

With the killing of Xia Ang, the original cries in front of the mansion gradually quieted down. An Yi raised his head and looked at Zeng Ziren, who was trembling with fear from Xia Ang's death on the steps, and Zeng Hanru who was still holding on to the lacquered wooden doorpost, and Zeng Hanru who still had some coldness on his face.

"Is the group training so that the adults are satisfied with the old man's treatment?"

Zeng Hanru looked at An Yi who was kneeling at the foot of the steps, and this Yi Yi felt that the old commander's gaze seemed to pass through his body, staring at him all over his body.

From Zeng Hanru's words, An Yi could feel that although he recognized Xia Ang's crimes and their "paper", his actions made the old commander, who had been in a high position for many years, feel like he was being pinched by his wrist and killed.

However, there is no way to be comfortable, if the matter is not forced to this extent, the court will basically not deal with Xia Ang, and I am afraid that Zeng Hanru also knows this.

An Yi stood up, met Zeng Hanru without fear and shot a cold gaze from his deep eyes, made a deep gesture towards him, and replied: "More than 500 households in Songling Village in An's generation, thank you for commanding the adults to hang the mirror high and hoe for the people. ”

Seeing this, Jiang Ruyue, who was in the crowd behind her, also hurriedly took the villagers around her and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Zeng Hanru didn't speak again, and put the saber in his hand back into the scabbard,

"Help the young master go home!"

After leaving such a sentence for the guards on both sides, he turned around and walked towards the palace.

An Yi looked at Zeng Hanru's slightly vicissitudes of life, and made a gesture again. The previous one was for the people of Songling Village, and this time it was for his own heart. Although Xia Ang, as Zeng Hanru's general, was to blame, but An Yi's appearance today also made the hilt of the sword that killed Xia Ang have a few more handprints on him. Not to say that he wears his own small shoes like Zeng Ziren, I am afraid that An Yi will not be treated by this old commander from now on.

That's right, Zeng Hanru, the commander of the envoys, does not look like the King of Shu and Jiang Yun said, he is such a flawless good official. But in this chaotic Great Xia officialdom, it is already particularly valuable to have such a person who is not so a corpse vegetarian, so he will make this gesture to the old commander for the second time, because he is already a good official in this era.

The villagers behind An Yi saw that Xia Ang had been corrected on the spot, and they all silently got up and cleaned up the corpse of the deceased wrapped in straw mats at the bottom of the steps, and they knew that the matter was over.

However, these well-arranged villagers did not leave immediately, but invariably walked in front of Anyi, knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply, and then went out of the city in the direction of Songling Village one by one.

An Yi looked at these villagers, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

There are so many official models above the court who support the building to fall down, and so many countrymen save the people from fire and water, but no one is willing to bow down and say even a word for them.

"Brother Yi, your trick is really powerful, forcing the commander to cut down Xia Ang?"

Jin Mingyin, who was next to him, saw that the guards in front of the door had gathered back to the house, and he let go of his tense nerves, and looked at An Yi with a look of admiration,

An Yi shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Jiang Ruyue, who was taking off his filial piety robe, and asked, "What does Brother Ruyue think?" ”

"I think that these soldiers from Songling Village in our camp don't need to be returned when they are redeployed, but in the future, you will not appear in the promotion list of this commander." Jiang Ruyue dusted the dust off her robe with her hand and replied with a smile,

An Yi didn't respond, but smiled knowingly, and only Jiang Ruyue could penetrate her mind at a glance.

"Ming Yin, go back to the camp first, help Brother Lin and Xin'er take care of the affairs of the camp, I estimate that there was a fire last night, I'm afraid we won't have anything left."

Ruyue, you go to the treasury, take advantage of the fact that there is no new garrison commander to take office, advance as much as we can for our food and salary, and pull all of them back to the camp, I believe that they will not embarrass us at this time, otherwise the new garrison will take office, I am afraid that there will be more variables. ”

He instructed the two people in front of him, and the two of them brought the villagers to Chengdu Mansion early in the morning, and now Songling Village is still in a mess.

"Aren't you going back?" Jin Mingyin asked An Yidao,

An Yi shook his head at him and said, "I'll go to the palace to see Yingshu, you can go back first." ”

Jin Mingyin and Jiang Ruyue looked at each other and smiled, nodded knowingly, and walked away.

are commanding the envoys

Atrium

"Smack!"

A glass teacup that had just been poured with fragrant tea by the maid was swept to the ground by Zeng Hanru with a wide sleeved robe, and it was shattered, so frightened that the maid quickly knelt aside.

Zeng Ziren allowed the glass shards and hot tea to splash on the ground like sharp blades across his face as he knelt in the hall.

But he didn't dare to make the slightest movement, and he didn't even dare to wipe the blood marks on his face with his cuffs.

His arms were slightly bent to support his body, and the whole person trembled like chaff under Zeng Hanru's anger.

"This is the good officer you recommended to me! Today it's just that the regimental training envoy is here, if it's the king of Shu here! The emperor is here! The one lying in the doorway now will add your corpse! ”

Zeng Hanru almost roared, pouring out the anger that he couldn't release in front of people just now,

"How many times have I told you, don't cause trouble, don't harass the people, especially don't hook up with those people in the court! What about you?! ”

At this he was even more angry, as if something had choked his throat, making him feel that he had a lot to say, but he could not say it for a while.

He paced two steps behind his back in the room before he sat down on the Taishi chair behind him, and habitually wanted to pick up the teacup on the square table, but only to realize that the teacup had already been shattered by himself.

Zeng Hanru, who grabbed an empty hand with one hand, was a little embarrassed, so he turned his homeopathic hand and stroked his chest, gradually calmed his undulating chest, and then pointed to the official hat on his head, suppressed the impatience in his heart, and said those words that he didn't remember how many times he had said to Zeng Ziren:

"Our Zeng family's officials have done their part, they are already content, and they have come to an end, and we are now not seeking merit but seeking no fault. Only if I sit on this chair as steadily as a mountain, you will be able to have no worries about food and clothing, and all the requirements I have for you are nothing more than afraid that you will be idle and cause trouble......."

"Enough!"

His words were interrupted by Zeng Ziren, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly roared angrily,

"Rebel! What did you say! ”

Zeng Hanru stood up suddenly, and angrily pointed at Zeng Ziren, who was still kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, he couldn't believe that this voice was shouted from the mouth of his pampered son,

"I said you're enough!"

However, Zeng Ziren immediately helped the old man confirm his ears,

He slowly stood up from the ground, the bloodstained wound on his face was still dripping blood, and then it was mixed with tears and tea splashed on his face, which made Zeng Hanru look like his son's entire face was scarlet, as if he was a demon crawling out of hell.

"From childhood to adulthood, you always want me to have no worries about food and clothing, you want me to be a rich man, when did you ask me what I wanted? I don't want to live in your shadow! He pointed his hand slamming out the door, "They! All of them are superficially respectful to me, do you think I don't know because I have a commander of the old man? ”

"Bang!"

Zeng Hanru made a fist with his left hand and slammed it on the table, and the four corners of the elm square table smashed with strong force squeaked, so frightened that the servants in the hall and the guards outside the house all knelt on the spot, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

"Then you just do it! Go to the imperial examination! Go for fame! What can you do? If you don't want to live under my protection, then you can prove it to others! Don't just use my name to make a fortune! ”

He pointed at his son and shouted angrily, Zeng Ziren could even see the anger rising around Zeng Hanru, but he was very angry about his father's statement, and his eyes were about to split: "Why! Why do you want me to take the test for fame and fame like those untouchables, and start from the bottom, shouldn't all the conveniences you get from your power be given to me, the only son? Why do you only accuse me of this is not right, that is not good, have you ever really recognized me! ”

Zeng Hanru is the commander of the three products of the imperial court, and this identity of the feudal official gives Zeng Ziren an innate sense of superiority over ordinary people, and this feeling is not unfamiliar to An Yi and Gao Yingshu, but Zeng Ziren lives between the rich children of An Yi and the nobles of the dynasty like Gao Yingshu, and it is the general feeling that the local officials of the Great Xia Dynasty bring to their children and grandchildren. However, this is something that Zeng Hanru, who has come from a pawn step by step to today, cannot understand.

But including An Yi and Gao Yingshu, deep down in their hearts, they will have wanted to break free from the protection of their parents for a period of time, so as to prove their desires. It's just that Zeng Hanru, who has been old and has a son, has been pampered since he was a child, which makes Zeng Ziren's period and desire particularly long and strong. This is not only Zeng Hanru's failure, but also Zeng Ziren's sorrow.

Zeng Hanru didn't really become the contradiction between father and son until today, and he also saw the tip of the iceberg of Zeng Ziren's inner dissatisfaction. But in any case, he could not allow his son to trample on his dignity as a father, and he was furious and pointed to the door with his hand that was already trembling with anger,

"I don't have a son like you! Get out of here! Get lost! ”

Zeng Ziren raised his head to look at his father, who had never felt so strange, the corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of bitterness, he shook off the maid who was going to come to help him, turned around and walked towards the hall door.....

The bustling crowds on the streets of Chengdu have not diminished because of the fierce atmosphere of autumn, and there is no shortage of traffic on the streets of this southwestern town.

Zeng Ziren walked on the streets of this bustling Chengdu, but he had never felt so lonely. The former Young Master Zeng didn't even bring a single attendant with him, and walked alone on the way back to Zeng's mansion with a bloody face.

Maybe he has always been a lonely person, but no one has ever told him that the king steward who used to be by his side and ask for warmth is gone.

"A group of villains who see the wind and rudder the rudder."

Zeng Ziren sneered and muttered to himself.

He walked with his head down, and found two pairs of official boots in front of him. When I looked up, I saw that there were two people dressed in dark blue robes, carrying an official knife around their waists, and dressed like guards.

Zeng Ziren saw the two of them blocking his way, frowned and said, "What? I had a falling out with the old man, and everyone wanted to step on my head? ”

The two guards didn't answer, but arched their hands towards Zeng Ziren and said, "Young Master Zeng, our family is invited." Then he pointed in the direction of Yat Sen Lou on the side.

Zeng Ziren looked at the familiar building on the side, looked at the two people in front of him again, and said a little impatiently: "How do I know who your family is?" You two get out of the way! ”

The two guards in front saw that Zeng Ziren had no intention of going with them, so they nodded at each other and said in unison: "Young master, I'm offended!" ”

After finishing speaking, he moved forward and dragged Zeng Ziren to Yixian Tower.

"What are you doing! Let me go! ”
