Half a month later, Guo Jia, who had been cautious and concealed his whereabouts all the way, finally came to Zhongshan Country in Jizhou.

It's just that when he arrived at Wuji County, he found that soldiers and horses were stationed outside the county seat, and the scale was no less than three thousand.

"Little Taigong, there is a Korean character on the big silk. Could it be Jizhou Mu Hanfu's soldiers and horses? Could it be that the Zhen family has secretly communicated with Han Fu to sit and wait for the little prince to throw himself into the net? Xu Chu said cautiously.

Guo Jia shook his head solemnly, denying his inference: "If the Zhen family colludes with Han Fu and categorically will not openly station soldiers and horses outside the city, what the truth is, you and I don't have to guess, let's go, enter the city from the other side." ”

After entering Wuji County, Guo Jia did not go to the Zhen family immediately, at this moment he is a prisoner of the imperial court, the Zhen family is both an official and a businessman, and it is common sense that he will not be willing to publicly have anything to do with Guo Jia.

After finding an inn in the county town to stay, Guo Jia went to the Zhen family wine shop alone to get a jar of drunken fairy wine.

At this time, in the Zhen family's mansion, the two columns of guards outside the mansion stood in high spirits, and in the banquet hall of the mansion, there was a graceful and kind middle-aged woman sitting on the main seat, she was Zhen's mother Wang.

The hall is divided into two sides, on the left side of a scholar and a martial artist, a Confucian scholar and a military general. On the right are the three brothers of the Zhen family.

The Confucian in the brocade satin robe raised the teacup and saluted Zhen's mother, and then said: "Mrs. Zhen, my lord is the honor of a state, and Zhen Taishou is both a colleague and a confidant, my lord's wife died early, and now there is a meaning of continuation, so he ordered to come to the Zhen family with General Pan to propose marriage, the eldest lady of the Zhen family is kind and charitable, and my lord has admired it for a long time, and often sighs that he can't marry Miss Zhen as his wife and regrets it, in the past, Miss Zhen had a marriage contract, so he didn't mention it, but now the thief Guo Jia has become a public enemy in the world, Presumably, the marriage contract between Miss Zhen and Guo Jia will be ended, right? If this is the case, I hope that Mrs. Zhen will fulfill the good intentions of my lord to seek a good wife. ”

"Brother Zhengnan, although my Zhen family is based on businessmen, it is based on faithfulness, as Brother Zhengnan said, Guo Jia is indeed a criminal of the imperial court at the moment, and heaven and earth do not tolerate it, but if Guo Jia is cleared of charges and comes to my Zhen family to fulfill the marriage contract, if my Zhen family breaks the contract and can't hand over people, won't it be disgraced and faithful?"

Zhen's mother Wang didn't reply, but Zhen Yu expressed her opposition angrily.

That Zhengnan brother, who is now Han Fu's adviser, smiled when he heard this, and bowed his hand to Zhen Yu: "As the eldest prince said, the Zhen family not only abides by trustworthiness, but also has the wind of benevolence. It is indeed not a gentleman's act to abandon the letter and break the contract, but if I am not mistaken, Guo Jia agreed with your Zhen family that he would come to marry Miss Zhen two years ago, right? And three and a half years ago, Ling Zun unfortunately passed away, and Miss Zhen's three-year period of filial piety has passed for half a year, Guo Jia didn't come to the door to marry, right? It can be seen that Guo Jia did not sincerely marry Miss Zhen, and the marriage contract between the two families was overdue and invalidated half a year ago. ”

As soon as the judge's voice fell, the military general who had been silent next to him suddenly bowed his hand to Zhen's mother and said in a rough voice: "Mrs. Zhen, in Xia Pan Feng, today I would like to represent my lord to come to the door to propose marriage, and I am a rough person below. Guo Jia is now a prisoner of the imperial court, if the Zhen family insists on marrying Guo Jia, according to the edict of the imperial court ordering the punishment of his three clans, the Zhen family is in trouble. My lord is both graceful and powerful, under his rule Jizhou is peaceful, rich and widely praised, and Zhen Taishou is my lord's right-hand man's subordinate, very appreciated by my lord, often commensurate with brothers, now my lord wants to be close to the Zhen family, marry Miss Zhen, there will be a dowry of my lord outside the house, a thousand horses of silk, a thousand taels of gold, countless treasures, and hope that Mrs. Zhen will think twice, don't let him return in vain. ”

After Pan Feng finished speaking, he retracted his gaze and continued to drink tea, he was a military general, he didn't have the heart to observe words and feelings, for him, he only looked at the result.

And Zhen Yu wanted to refute a few more words, but Zhen's mother glared at him, and his open mouth was still tightly closed.

Zhen's mother Wang also weighed the pros and cons in her heart.

Guo Jia's court is guilty, and the three clans are punished, and they must not marry their daughters, even if Guo Jia is now innocent, Zhen Jiang is committed to him as a concubine, the Zhen family is rich and looks down on the world, and his daughter goes to be a concubine? It's a self-inflicted humiliation.

Although Han Fu is nearly forty years old, his wife is deceased, and he is a pastor in Jizhou, with a high and powerful position, in Jizhou, who dares to oppose the state pastor? Getting married to Han Fu can make the Zhen family more prosperous.

After thinking about it, Zhen's mother was about to open her mouth to reply to the trial of Pan Feng and the others, but she didn't expect that the second son, Zhen Yan, had hidden majesty after being Zhongshan Taishou for a few years, and he put the teacup on the table and made a big sound.

Zhen's mother looked at Zhen Yan with stunned eyes, looking at her second son, who was no longer angry and arrogant, and it was difficult for her to show her mother's majesty and suppression.

"General Pan, Lord Judge, this matter is not only related to the reputation of my Zhen family, but also involves my eldest sister's lifelong happiness, let me wait for a moment to discuss before replying, please go to the wing room for a short rest, my brothers and mother after discussion, I will definitely give you an explanation." How is it? ”

Zhen Yan's words were neither humble nor arrogant, which made the judge look disappointed, because he had already seen that Zhen's mother had moved, and he was interrupted by Zhen Yan when he saw it as a good thing, but he quickly smiled in disguise: "In this case, General Pan and I will retreat first and wait for the good news of Zhen Taishou." ”

The two left the table and exited the door, and were led to the guest room by their subordinates.

There was silence in the lobby, and Zhen's mother stared at Zhen Yan with a sad face and a little annoyance in her eyes.

"One or two of you all say good things for Guo Jia, but what did Guo Jia do? The sister-in-law of the Wei family in Hedong County was killed by him, and the eldest son of Mu Taoqian in Xuzhou was also killed by him, which was not enough, and ran to the feet of the Son of Heaven to fight with the Xiyuan army. You guys, you ......"

Zhen's mother's heart fluctuated, and after drinking tea to moisten her lungs and ventilate, she turned her face away and was furious.

Zhen Yu saw that his mother was so angry, and he wanted to comfort him with a bitter face, but Zhen Yan grabbed in front of him and said lightly: "Mother, the child does not agree with the eldest sister marrying Han Zhoumu, but hopes that the mother will think twice, as the mother said, Guo Jia's crime is heinous, and the child does not defend him, but the child wants to ask his mother, Guo Jia dares to kill the Wei family's son-in-law, don't you dare to kill the Zhen family's heir?" Guo Jia dared to kill Taozhou's son-in-law, didn't he dare to kill Hanzhou's blood relatives? Guo Jia dared to fight with the Xiyuan Army in the imperial city, didn't he dare to kill in Jizhou? ”

The three questions made Zhen's mother's face instantly turn pale, and her heart was shocked.

If he really married his daughter to Han Fu, would Guo Jia kill the Zhen family in anger after hearing about it?

"This, if Guo Jia dares to come, my son has 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, why are you afraid of just one horseman?" Zhen's mother's expression was a little soothed, Zhen Yan, the Taishou of the Zhongshan Kingdom, had 10,000 elite soldiers, and Han Fu's subordinates also had 50,000.

But Zhen Yan still said lightly: "Mother, is it possible that the 10,000 elite soldiers of Zhongshan Kingdom surround the Zhen Mansion every day?" Will our brothers and sisters and our mothers never leave the house? Guo Jia killed hundreds of the Xiyuan Army in less than ten people, and injured countless enemies, although the child was not arrogant, but he also knew that his elite soldiers were far less sharp than the Xiyuan Army. ”

Zhen's mother was shocked, confused, and asked in a panic: "What should I do for today?" Jiang Er can't marry Guo Jia, otherwise wouldn't it be a disaster for the Zhen family? But Jiang Er can't marry Han Zhoumu, otherwise the Zhen family may have a bloody disaster, this can't work, that won't work, won't Jiang Er marry for life? She is in her teens this year. ”

"Don't worry, Mother, after the three of my brothers discuss, I will definitely give Han Zhoumu a satisfactory answer, and Mother should go back to the room to rest."

After Zhen Yan invited Zhen's mother back to the backyard, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he finally persuaded his mother, Zhen Yu also secretly let go of his heart, only Zhen Yao smiled lightly: "The second brother was so surprised, but he scared his mother a lot. ”

But he didn't expect Zhen Yan to restrain his expression, and said in a deep voice: "If I really marry my eldest sister to Han Fu, I'm afraid I'm afraid of filial piety, I'm afraid it's ......."

Zhen Yu heard the meaning of the second brother, and immediately panicked: "Impossible, Fengxiao and even a sincere gentleman, with a deep affection for my Zhen family, how can he kill the killer?" Second brother, don't talk nonsense, and spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

Zhen Yan looked at the eldest brother's expression, knowing that the friendship between the eldest brother and Guo Jia was extraordinary, and showed a trace of bitterness on her face: I am a villain? Troubled times are coming, there are no gentlemen and villains between heaven and earth, only the strong and the weak.

What made Zhen Yan feel relieved was that the third brother Zhen Yao was on his side, Zhen Yao had no smile on his face, and said expressionlessly: "Fengxiao is now in a desperate situation, if my Zhen family bears him again, I am afraid that he will really kill regardless of the past feelings." Big brother, you have to understand that at this time, Fengxiao has no place in the world, according to the surname of Fengxiao, do you care about the eyes of the people of the world who look at him? What a gentleman and a villain are worried about. ”

Zhen Yu looked at the two younger brothers blankly, and he also knew that Guo Jia was desperate at this moment.

Because of this, the Zhen family should lend a helping hand at this time!

"You guys! You guys! If there is no filial piety, how can the Zhen family come to be a brilliant family business? If there is no filial piety, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my Zhen family may have been destroyed! If there is no filial piety, Han Fu will not come to propose marriage, but to rob people! What about you, your conscience? ”

Facing the roar of the eldest brother, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao were dumbfounded, and Zhen Yan said inexplicably: "Big brother, my third brother and I have never said that we will live up to Fengxiao, and my third brother and I just said that if my Zhen family really bears Fengxiao, Fengxiao will naturally turn against us." But the two of us are just talking about the consequences, not making a decision. ”

Zhen Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he was impulsive, but he still didn't give up and forced the brothers to express his position, and asked, "Then what do you think?" What I mean is to let the eldest sister marry Fengxiao, no matter what Fengxiao's situation is, my Zhen family will never live up to Fengxiao. ”

Zhen Yan closed her eyes and said: "The eldest sister will not marry for the time being, and she will discuss it again when she is out of danger with filial piety." ”

Zhen Yao chuckled: "You can secretly send the eldest sister there, announce to the outside world that the eldest sister eloped with Guo Jia, expel the eldest sister from the Zhen family, and then secretly help Feng Xiao." ”

The different attitudes of the three brothers were generally biased towards Guo Jia, and when the three of them were at a stalemate, the subordinate came over and whispered a few words beside Zhen Yu, and Zhen Yu's expression immediately became excited.

After Zhen Yan saw it, he glanced at Zhen Yao, and said in unison: "Fengxiao is here!" ”
