Chapter 709: Forced
Su Qing sighed and said: "I was originally also kind-hearted, Zheng Pucheng is a famous Huahua Tai Sui in the city, he killed someone on the street, and the bitter lord has nowhere to complain, I saw that her orphans and widows were really pitiful, so I wanted to help her, it was nothing more than a fight to burn the silver, and then give Zheng Jia Saburo a lesson, but I didn't expect my hard work to be used by others, and I made such a big mess, and now I am also difficult to ride a tiger." ”
Feng Budao: "This matter is being handled according to the procedure, and the left and right cannot be implicated in the mother's body." ”
Su Qing said: "Even so, I am uneasy, Zheng Pucheng is not guilty to death, I am negligent." ”
After Feng Bu went, a person turned out from behind the screen, but it was Su Qing's sister Su Rong. Su Qing said: "In the old days, he helped that person to quell the Longquan Rebellion and squeezed out my brother, I was angry, I was expecting to take the opportunity to knock him and teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect such a fork." Su Rong said: "That kind of evil is less, and if you die, you will die, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." Su Qing said: "Now that Jingxi is tight, if he is cold and shakes the rear because of this incident, will he miss a big event?" Su Rong sneered: "If he has two hearts, he will withdraw him, isn't there still Mr. Wen, in my opinion, Mr. Wen is not worse than him in terms of ability and qualifications, and he is not as arrogant and domineering as him, Zheng Xiaozhang is really arrogant." ”
Su Qing said: "Mr. Wen is good at everything, but he cherishes himself too much, he looks at the infinite scenery as this chief manager, but in fact, he is even more popular, and his heart is also very bitter." ”
Su Rong sneered: "My mother-in-law Bodhisattva, you are a woman's kindness again, you forgot how he helped that person squeeze out his brother and kill the princess, and let his son go to Longquan in person, it is really intimate." ”
Su Qing smiled and didn't say anything, the person Su Rong said and the person she said were the same person-Tian Qian, who actually controlled the old land of the Bohai Sea, the Su sisters hated Tian Ling for expelling Su Jing by means, hated her for killing Gui Zhisheng, and hated other people who had the same heart as her. When Zheng Xiaozhang sent his second son Zheng Puxiu to lead the army to help in the war, he was with her all the way, and he was the enemy of her Su family.
Of course, Su Rong hates Zheng Xiaozhang for another reason. Zhang Xuan has been a general under the command of Li Shigu and Li Shidao brothers in Ziqing, and after the defeat of the Li brothers, he was a general under Xue Rong in Ziqing. Xue Rong has always followed the rules in doing things, and he refused to tie up Li Mao, Zhang Xuan has not been reused, and there is no hope for promotion.
Li Mao transferred him to Youzhou before going to Chang'an, but he didn't have time to promote him, and only became a general. Although Zhang Xuan holds the military power in his hand, the real power is very heavy, and the rank is a little worse in the end, Su Rong saw that her sister first became the lady of the country, and then became the princess of Jin, and she is still only a county monarch, so she is a little unbalanced in her heart, her self-esteem is troubled and she doesn't want to ask her sister, so she condescends to the noble and walks through the door of Zheng Xiaozhang's wife Chang's family, and wants to move it to her husband, and she is also a good wife and husband.
Mrs. Zheng Chang is full of promises, Li Maoxi does not forget the old, Su Qing's status in the palace is as stable as Mount Tai, and she has a great future in the future, Su Rong is the sister of her compatriots, the sisterhood relationship has been good since childhood, and it is still good, how dare she refute Su Rong's face? also thought that her husband had a monopoly on power, and it was not a matter of words to be promoted, and this person was still Li Mao's confidant.
So he accepted Su Rong's gift, and found an opportunity to mention this matter to Zheng Xiaozhang, but he didn't want Zheng Xiaozhang to be accommodating, Zheng Xiaozhang's reason was that there were frequent wars in front of him at present, and the soldiers were on expeditions all year round, suffering hardships and crimes, bleeding and sweating, and the promotion reward should naturally be done first.
However, Zheng Xiaozhang did not do anything wrong, and later gave Zhang Xuan a level according to the routine, and Mrs. Zheng Chang was deeply disturbed, returned the gift given by Su Rong, and personally came to apologize.
Su Rong hated Zheng Xiaozhang for not taking himself seriously, and this beam was settled.
It is not unusual for her to say such things now, Su Qing did not dare to answer, her marriage with Zhang Xuan was originally made by outsiders, and the relationship between the husband and wife after marriage was average, and they did not have any more children. Zhang Xuan has been depressed all these years, and he is becoming more and more interested in women, the left one in the family, the right one in, he has not been close to her for many years, and the life of being a widow is naturally not easy, Su Rong is a very conservative person, she refuses to break women's morality, and she has been depressed for a long time, so it is inevitable that she will be a little excessive.
However, Su Qing also knew that although her sister was not as skilled and gentle as she was in her early years, and she had no quarrel with the world, she was not a vicious person, she just complained in her heart.
Zheng Pucheng's death made Zheng Xiaozhang infinitely sad, it seemed that he was ten years old overnight, and he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he came to the mourning hall again, opened the lid of his son's coffin with his own hands, looked at his son's cold corpse, and his heart shrunk into a ball, as if it was about to break. His son died in the prison directly under the Security Bureau for no apparent reason, and the prison refused to return the body, so in a fit of rage, he desperately rushed out of the governor's mansion and rushed into the prison directly under the Security Bureau to snatch the body back.
Although this corpse has been carefully retouched, it still can't hide the scars, Zheng Xiaozhang is like a fish in his throat, old tears are all over the place, but he can't cry.
The housekeeper Zheng Tong hurriedly went up to support him, rubbed his chest for him, patted his back, and after a lot of tossing, Zheng Xiaozhang cried, but he quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeve, he couldn't let people see him cry, they wanted to see him cry. Zheng Tong looked really uncomfortable, and persuaded the head of the family to cry a little, but Zheng Xiaozhang laughed, not smiling, it was very terrifying in the cold candlelight.
He sat down in the mourning hall, guarded his son's corpse, and babbled about some trivial things that happened when Zheng Pucheng was a child and a teenager. The head of the family has become bigger and bigger over the years, and he has become more and more cold and hard, and now he is even more hard-hearted.
Outside, he is a ruthless man who kills decisively, never talks about his private affairs, even if he is at home with his wife and children, he is also a stinky face of business, as fragile as today, such chatter, or for the first time, it is completely like a different person.
Zheng Tong tried to guide him to say more, and to say all the words that were accumulated in his heart, it would be better to say it, and it would inevitably be difficult to hold back after holding it for a long time.
Zheng Xiaozhang also found that it would be better to say what was in his heart, so he continued to chatter, but a heavy and hurried footsteps suddenly interrupted his thoughts. A group of scribes came running with a stretcher, and on the stretcher lay a man, a dead man, a cold dead man.
He just glanced at it, and the words in his stomach stopped abruptly and stuck in his throat.
The cold dead man on the stretcher turned out to be his eldest son, Zheng Puren.
Zheng Puren accidentally fell into the water and drowned when passing by the pond in the back garden of the governor's mansion at dusk, because the surrounding trees were lush and inaccessible, and the body had been soaked in the pool for three or four hours, and was just found by a scribe of the governor's mansion.
Zheng Xiaozhang spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the person suddenly fainted.
