Chapter 221 Helpless
When Chen Zisheng heard the Zhang family say this, he came to the prefect's yamen the next day to ask about the crime.
This Chen Zisheng and Zhang Youdao are not the same, not to mention that Chen Zisheng himself has a fame, his Chen family's parents have two jinshi, his uncle Chen Xishao, father Chen Xichang are both jinshi, and his brother Chen Zizhuang is still the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry. This kind of big family has always been the object of jealousy of the magistrates.
Feng Ziyong also visited the Chen family when he first came, so he and Chen Zisheng also knew each other, and when he saw Chen Zisheng coming to the door to ask for the crime, of course he didn't dare to go out of the door, and hurriedly introduced him into the study.
Of course, Feng Ziyong knew what Chen Zisheng came for, so he and Chen Zisheng didn't hide it. told Chen Zisheng how Zhu Hongsan fell in love with his niece Chen and how he sent someone to snatch it.
Chen Zisheng couldn't get angry, and scolded Zhu Hongsan for not paying attention to morality and being a bad person. Feng Ziyong was also very relieved when he heard it on the side, and he couldn't wait to scold him a few words, because Zhu Hongsan was such a bastard.
But Feng Ziyong is now Zhu Hongsan's courtier, so he has to plan for Zhu Hongsan.
Feng Ziyong waited until Chen Zisheng finished scolding before he said: "Brother Qiao Sheng, the matter has already happened, there is no way, let's think about what to do." ”
Chen Zisheng sighed, now the law of the Ming Dynasty has no effect on the vassal king at all, plus I heard that this King of Chu and the current Emperor Hongguang have a good relationship, it seems that this dumb man is going to suffer.
Feng Ziyong saw that Chen Zisheng didn't speak, and knew that he didn't have any ideas in his heart, so he said on the side: "Qiao Sheng, I don't think it's as good as this." The king of Chu is here with me, you go to meet him and see what the king of Chu says, the king of Chu really likes to marry his niece to the king of Chu, and it is better to give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future than to be a widow in the Zhang family. ”
After the death of the Zhang family, the Chen family originally wanted to withdraw from the marriage, but it was this niece Chen who destroyed her face and had to marry her, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen now.
Chen Zisheng couldn't help it, so he arched his hand and said, "Then it's annoying Lord Laofutai." ”
The two came to the back and saw Zhu Hongsan. Zhu Hongsan was just able to get up today, and the madness of the past few days was really dying, so Zhu Hongsan got up and scolded Li Fugui, he had to get such a powerful aphrodisiac, and almost made Zhu Hongsan die before he could succeed.
Hearing that Chen Zisheng was coming, Zhu Hongsan hurriedly came over to meet him.
Chen Zisheng hated Zhu Hongsan at first sight, Zhu Hongsan just relieved his breath, and naturally his face was gray and his eyes were deep. In Chen Zisheng's eyes, this is a full look of indulging in wine.
Feng Ziyong spoke first, introduced Chen Zisheng first, and then asked if Zhu Hongsan was willing to accept Chen as a concubine. These were all discussed with Feng Ziyong, and of course Zhu Hongsan agreed. At the same time, Zhu Hongsan also said that he would take out 10,000 acres of land in the new urban area as a dowry.
At this time, Chen Zisheng's complexion was a little better, he was different from his brother Chen Zizhuang. Chen Zizhuang has been away all the year round, and he has always taken care of trivial matters at home, and Chen Zisheng is in charge of these things.
Chen Zisheng knew that the king of Chu in front of him was rich, not to mention that the 200,000 mu of land in Dongguan was taken into his arms by him, even the new city outside the west gate of Guangzhou was also expensive.
In the past, the Chen family had approached Feng Ziyong and wanted to invest in Xincheng, but at that time, Feng Ziyong had not yet decided how to do Xincheng, so this matter had been delayed. Now hearing that the King of Chu gave 10,000 mu at one time, Chen Zisheng couldn't help but be overjoyed. If the new city is also developed like Dongguan, each mu of land can buy 100 taels of silver, and this 10,000 mu is 1 million, which is a huge amount of money, and this is not counting the value of appreciation. A widow in the Chen family can sell it at a sky-high price.
Chen Zisheng sighed, knowing that he couldn't refuse the conditions offered by the King of Chu, and if he didn't agree, a few uncles in the family would force him to agree. Thinking of this, Chen Zisheng said: "Since the king of Chu has this sincerity, then I will agree on behalf of my eldest brother." But I want to meet my niece first. ”
Zhu Hongsan heard Chen Zisheng's agreement, and hurriedly called someone to call the Twelfth Lady.
After a while, the Chen family came in and saw his own uncle coming, and couldn't help crying: "The second uncle is here, and my niece has embarrassed the Chen family." ”
Chen Zisheng was originally very angry, but when he saw his niece like this, he couldn't help but feel distressed. This niece was strong when she was a child, although she was a concubine, but she knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. originally found him a young man, hoping that she would live a happy life in the future. Unexpectedly, the man died on the way to Beijing to take the exam, and his niece had to marry her, even at the cost of disfigurement.
Chen Zisheng also served as an official before, and served as a county governor in Fujian. He knew that the festival martyr looked at the scenery on the surface, and only he knew the difficulties. It's not good or bad to say what happened this time.
Chen Zisheng looked at his niece and said, "Child, since this is your own choice, you must honor the king and princess of Chu, and you must abide by women's morals in everything, you know?" ”
Hearing his uncle say this, Chen was also full of tears and said, "My niece remembers." ”
Chen Zisheng said again: "When I arrive at the Chu Wangfu, I want to give birth to a son and a half daughter as soon as possible and continue the incense of the King of Chu, do you know?" ”
Chen blushed and nodded.
The next thing is simple, Zhu Hongsan not only makes raw rice into mature rice, but is about to make gruel, and Chen Zisheng can only admit the fait accompli.
After the Chen family did not come out, of course, the small family of the Zhang family did not dare to make any moves. After receiving Zhu Hong's three thousand taels of silver, Zhang Youdao also recognized it, and wrote a letter of resignation as the head of the Zhang family and sent it over, and the Chen family completely changed the identity of the little widow.
That night, the Chen family was carried in by Zhu Hongsan through the small door and officially became Zhu Hongsan's twelfth wife.
Zhu Hongsan stayed in Guangzhou for a few more days, went to Xincheng with Feng Ziyong to have a look, put forward a few guiding suggestions, and prepared to return to Dongguan on the 27th of the lunar month, after all, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days.
On the day when Zhu Hongsan was leaving, another person came to the prefect's yamen, that is, the unlucky eunuch, the handsome guy Cao Fang among the eunuchs. This guy has been very sad these days, after Zhu Hongsan forced him to kill Zhang Tiju's whole family, the people in the entire city began to disobey. Yesterday, he also received news that Nanjing was ready to replace him and asked him to go to Nanjing to guard the tomb of filial piety.
Cao Fang was shocked when she heard the news, and going to guard the tomb meant death. Cao Fang was really anxious like an ant on a hot pot this time, and suddenly thought that there was a king of Chu in Guangzhou, and the king of Chu heard that it was not bad to have a personal relationship with Banzai, so it was better to beg the king of Chu.
Zhu Hongsan really forgot about this guy, and originally wanted to take over the city department after cleaning up Cao Fang, and then build a modern customs system based on the city department. It's just that there was a Chen incident a few days ago, and I forgot about it.
When Cao Fang entered the house and saw Zhu Hongsan, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "Master save the slave, the slave is going to die." ”
Zhu Hongsan said unhurriedly: "Do you want me to save you?" What do you have that I can save? This king does not raise idlers. ”
"The slave will serve the master, and the slave is the steward eunuch of the direct palace supervisor in Beijing."
Zhu Hongsan scolded: "Damn, an inverted toilet, is this king lacking a poured toilet?" ”
Cao Fang's eyes rolled, thinking of what else he was good at, and then he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the slave is in charge of the city, and he can find a way to make money for his master." ”
"It's finally a little useful, you get up, go back to Dongguan with me, and I'll explain to Banzai over there in Nanjing."
Hearing that Zhu Hongsan asked him to go to Dongguan with him, Cao Fang was stunned, he originally wanted Zhu Hongsan to speak to help keep the position of the city's shipper.
Cao Fang lowered his head and said, "Lord Wang, I left the city and there is no one in charge here." ”
Zhu Hongsan heard that Cao Fang didn't want to leave yet, and said: "Since Father-in-law Cao doesn't want to go, it's good, Zhu Hongyi, send Father-in-law Cao on the road, and afterwards give Nanjing News a Cao Huachun who thought about Cao Fang's thoughts and took refuge in Li Chuang, and died of grief." Maybe this news reached Li Chuang's ears, and Cao Gonggong's younger brother and adopted son in Nanzhili can be high-ranking officials. ”
Cao Fang was almost scared to death, but he didn't expect that the news of his younger brother and step-son King Chu knew that this King of Chu was really ruthless. Cao Fang hurriedly shouted: "Lord Wang! Rajah! The slave is willing to go to Dongguan with the prince. ”
Zhu Hongsan scolded: "It's really uncomfortable to fight, don't worry, I have already sent someone to pick up your brother and son." If you don't obey, I'll have them cut off their little brothers and give you wine, and serve the king as a eunuch with you, what do you think? ”
Cao Fang was completely convinced this time, he was okay if he died, and the incense of the Cao family could not be cut off in his own hands. Cao Fang kowtowed and coughed up blood in her head, and said, "The slave is willing to go, please let my family go!" ”
