Chapter 327: A Vicious Plan
Zhou Chong doesn't mind what his identity is in this life, anyway, he is not the original Zhou Chong, and he doesn't pay much attention to the blood and family in this life, but after crossing over, Aunt Wang, Bang'er, and Duo'er are his relatives, and he once swore that he would protect them no matter what, even if he knew that Dao Bang'er and Duo'er were not his own sisters, but Zhou Hai's daughters.
Hearing Zhou Chong's request, Zhengde's face sank and said: "Second brother, I know that you are a person who values affection and righteousness, Zhou Hai's two daughters have always been commensurate with you, and you also have deep feelings between you, but Zhou Hai committed the crime of raiding his family and exterminating the family, and I really have no reason to let go of his concubine and daughter." ”
"The Emperor...... Brother Huang. Zhou Zhong was a little uncomfortable with the change of identity, but he still said categorically, "No matter what crime Zhou Hai committed, Bang'er and Duo'er are innocent, and they don't even know what kind of person their father is, and I have been dependent on Bang'er for life all these years, and I have long regarded them as my own sister, so I ask the royal brother to let them go!" ”
"They are innocent, aren't our two sisters innocent? The two of them were only two years old when they died, and it was Zhou Hai, the dog thief, who was poisoned, how did you let me let his family go? Zhengde said angrily, as the eldest brother, he naturally has a kind of love and responsibility for his younger brothers and sisters, so his hatred for Zhou Hai is no less than that of Empress Dowager Zhang.
"Brother Huang, even if you scrape him with a thousand knives, I won't say a word, after all, I don't have any feelings for him at all, but Bang'er and Duo'er are different, they are my sisters, if the royal brother wants to kill them. Then you might as well kill me first! Zhou Chong's eyes looked directly at Zhengde. The voice was calm. As an elder brother, if he can't even protect his two younger sisters, then he might as well die.
"You ......" Zhengde was also angry when he heard this, and glared at Zhou Chong with an angry face, but under Zhou Chong's calm and watery gaze, it was a kind of persistence like a mountain.
"Do you know why Zhou Hai spent so much effort to steal you from the palace and not kill you?" Zhengde suddenly sighed and said, he didn't plan to force his younger brother, but planned to use facts to convince Zhou Chong.
"Oh. This matter is exactly what I have been unable to figure out, with Zhou Hai's hatred for our royal family, it is impossible for him to raise me in vain with kindness, and now that Zhou Hai has fallen into the hands of the imperial brother, you should have known the reason from his mouth, right? Zhou Zhong saw that Zhengde did not explicitly refuse, and finally asked with a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Yes, I do know the reason for this, but it is precisely because of this that I hate this dog thief even more, if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to save his dog life at my father's tomb before killing him. I'm afraid I've already stabbed him before! At this time, Zhengde's face once again showed a distorted hatred, and then he explained the reason why Zhou Hai made great efforts to raise Zhou Chong.
It turned out that Zhou Hai did not have any good intentions in raising Zhou Zhong as an adult. is implementing a huge and complex revenge plan, in this plan, Zhou Zhong is the key to it, but unfortunately Zhou Zhong later got a terminal illness, coupled with the change in the Nanyang Huang family, which made Zhou Hai have to give up this plan, and even abandon the family business to go to Nanyang.
Zhou Hai's plan is very bad, in his plan, Zhou Zhong will be trained by him to be a scholar since he was a child, and then embark on a career in office, which he did very smoothly, fifteen-year-old Zhou Zhong has been admitted to Xiucai, as long as there is no big accident, with Zhou Chong's talent and Zhou Hai's financial resources, it is easy to send Zhou Zhong into the officialdom.
After Zhou Chong successfully entered the officialdom, the next thing is for Zhou Hai to really implement his revenge plan, he will use his strength to transfer Zhou Chong to a place along the sea, and then tell Zhou Chong that they are Zhu Yunwen's descendants, just like when Zhou Chong and Zhou Hai met before, Zhou Chong will only have two choices left, one is to escape, the other is to rebel, with Zhou Hai's ability, he will naturally not let Zhou Chong escape.
To put it simply, the reason why Zhou Hai raised Zhou Zhong with hard work has only one purpose, that is, to let Zhou Chong rebel when he grows up, and Zhou Zhong was an official of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and he held a certain amount of power in his hands, coupled with the strength of Zhou Hai Chamber of Commerce, so that the momentum of the rebellion could be made even bigger, and then Zhou Hai could watch Zhou Zhong and Zhengde, the two brothers, fight back and forth.
Although it is very likely that Zhou Hai will be exterminated, but the victory or defeat is not important to Zhou Hai, the important thing is that he will personally catch Zhou Chong and send it to the military camp of Daming when Zhou Chong is exterminated, so that Zhou Chong will be escorted to the capital after the most deluctant, and then beheaded by Zhengde himself, but after Zhengde kills Zhou Chong, he will spread the news that Zhou Chong is Zhu Houwei, who disappeared that year, all over the world, so that not only will Zhengde regret, but also can be used to hit the prestige of the Ming royal family.
It can be said that Zhou Hai's entire revenge plan is strict and crazy, and it can even be called a pervert, if he really succeeds, then not only will Zhengde regret it for a lifetime, but it is even likely to endanger the inheritance of the throne. However, it may be that this plan is too vicious, and even God can't stand it anymore, so the young Zhou Zhong got a terminal illness after the last, breaking Zhou Hai's entire plan.
"I see, no wonder when he saw me in Nanyang, he forced me to rebel, it seems that he wants to continue this plan." Zhou Zhong whispered when he heard this, and at the same time, a trace of fear flashed in his heart, he never thought that a person could spend a lifetime to carry out such a huge revenge plan, it seems that the power of hatred can indeed make people crazy.
"It's a good thing you didn't rebel, otherwise you wouldn't have returned here so leisurely, but would have been escorted back by the army." Zhengde said with a smile.
"That's not necessarily, at that time, I had five thousand sailors in my hands, plus the financial and material resources of the Chamber of Commerce, if I was determined to rebel, the court would not be able to do anything about me." Zhou Zhong was a little unconvinced, he didn't think that he would even fail to rebel.
"Hehe, if you still don't admit defeat, then I'll tell you, Wu Shan, after they found Zhou Hai's traces, they immediately took my warrant to see Shen Ying and the others, and asked them to beware of any unreasonable orders, if you really dare to rebel, I don't dare to say anything else, at least Shen Ying's three thousand Beijing battalions under him will immediately raise troops to quell the rebellion!" Although Zhengde doesn't care about things on the surface, he is actually an extremely shrewd emperor, and he has never slackened his management of the army.
Zhou Chong didn't want to debate with Zhengde on this kind of matter, and he also knew that the reason why Zhengde told him about Zhou Hai's vicious plan was to stimulate his hatred for Zhou Hai, but it was useless for Zhou Chong, so he opened his mouth and said: "Brother Huang, what are you talking about now, and the mastermind of this matter is Zhou Hai, most of the others are innocent, at least Bang'er and Duo'er don't know what kind of person their father is, so I will never let you hurt them." ”
Seeing that Zhou Chong still insisted, Zhengde was annoyed and helpless, he had already done a detailed investigation of Zhou Chong before, and knew that Zhou Chong was a matter of affection, so for Zhou Chong's persistence, it was not surprising to him.
"Okay, I promise you, Zhou Hai's concubine and two daughters will be handed over to you to deal with, but you don't have to ask about Zhou Hai's affairs, I will personally take him to my father's grave and execute him!" Zhengde finally nodded and said, anyway, Zhou Hai has no son, and the two daughters don't know the true identity of Zhou Hai, leaving them is not a threat to Zhengde.
Seeing that Zhengde finally agreed, Zhou Chong immediately stood up excitedly, and saluted Zhengde very respectfully: "Thank you to the royal brother for your success, Bang'er and Duo'er I will let you grow up with peace of mind, and find a good family to marry in the future, and it will definitely not cause trouble to the imperial brother." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhong suddenly remembered one more thing, and then continued: "Brother Huang, where are Bang'er and Duo'er now, do you know about their father Zhou Hai?" ”
"Don't worry, they are all staying in the inner house now, they don't know anything about the outside of the road, and Zhou Hai is related to the secrets of the palace, so I have ordered someone to completely block everything about Zhou Hai, and are ready to take him back to the capital to be secretly executed, you don't have to worry about them knowing the inside story of the road, as for your life experience, go and explain it to them yourself, don't worry about them knowing that Zhou Hai is still alive!" Zhengde was not angry.
Zhou Zhong heard this and saluted Zhengde excitedly again, Zhou Hai's news was blocked by Zhengde, so Bang'er and Duo'er would not know about Zhou Hai's fraudulent death, in their hearts, their father died in the shipwreck two years ago. As for his life experience, it would be easy to do, it was too big to make up a story about a prince who was living in the folk, and then was adopted by Zhou Hai by coincidence.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chong was full of ease, although he had no feelings for Zhou Hai, but Bang'er and Duo'er were Zhou Hai's biological daughters, if they knew that Zhou Hai died in the hands of Zhengde, this made Zhou Chong not know how to face them, so everything was still hidden from them.
"By the way, what should those people from the Huang family do, you don't want to kill them all, right? That's hundreds! "Solving the problem of Bang'er and Duo'er, Zhou Chong suddenly thought of the Huang family again, as the descendants of Zhu Yunwen, and Zhou Hai's clansmen, they are now in the hands of Zhengde, it will be dangerous.
However, Zhengde glanced at Zhou Zhong and said, "Are I so murderous in your eyes?" Although I hate Zhou Hai very much, there are not many people who participate in Zhou Hai's entire plan, most of the people in the Huang family don't know about Lu Dao's plan, and even most of the Huang family don't know that Lu Dao is actually Zhu Yunwen's descendant, so except for a few people who will ask Zhou Hai for their crimes, most of the others will be dealt with separately!
