Cheng Rong died.

The joy of the county lord who was sealed a few years ago has not yet dissipated, and such bad news suddenly came from the capital.

Master Cheng Wu lost his beloved daughter, and he lost his spirit in an instant.

The hardened Cheng Fifth Master will not let others see the scene of his wailing and crying, but he has a white head overnight, but Cheng Qing feels the weight of this father's love so bluntly.

Cheng Qing's heart was filled with sourness.

She didn't have much contact with Cheng Rong, but she was really a very gentle and generous little girl, educated and courageous, and dared to fight for what she wanted...... Wufang sent Cheng Rong to Beijing in order to find a good husband and seek a good marriage, not to mention how difficult it would be for the fifth master and the Li family to regret it too much, even Cheng Qing didn't expect Cheng Rong to die because of this!

The fifth old man sat on the chair dejectedly, originally walking vigorously, but now he was lying on his back, lined by a wide chair, and he was not as tall as Cheng Qing had in his impression.

Cheng Qing said that he was going to the capital to pick up Cheng Rong "home", and the fifth master's eyes were a little bright:

"Rong Niang's injuries are not good, so she should be taken back to Nanyi for treatment. Brother Qing, you bring the best doctor in Fucheng, that is the old imperial doctor of Zhishi, who can treat Rong Niang's injuries! ”

"The doctors in the capital can't do it, and neither can the imperial doctors in the palace, they are afraid of taking responsibility, so they will only prescribe a stable health regimen......"

"When you get out of the capital, take the waterway, take a boat all the way back, don't put your Aunt Rong upside down, she is the most afraid of pain, she was bitter when she was a child, she was bitter when she took medicine, she wanted your uncle and grandmother to hold and coax herself, and let the old man buy the best candied fruit in the county."

"No, no, no, it can't be done by water, and the canals in the north haven't thawed yet."

The fifth old man chattered, and his speech was a little upside down.

was afraid that Cheng Rong would be upside down, and said that Cheng Rong was afraid of taking medicine when she was a child.

He couldn't accept the fact that Cheng Rong was dead, and wanted Cheng Qing to go to the capital to bring Cheng Rong back safely.

The cold and cold-hearted Cheng Qing's eyes were full of sadness.

She nodded whatever the fifth master said, and after the fifth master had explained all the precautions, he suddenly closed his mouth and sighed lightly in his throat:

“…… Your sixth uncle won't lie, the letter brought back by three dead horses on the road, the old man's Rong Niang is dead! ”

"Uncle—"

The fifth old man's throat hissed, and the man also stood up from his chair, he tried to restrain himself, but the angry anger still stimulated him to wave his arms:

"Your sixth uncle said that Rong Niang was summoned to the palace, and her injuries recurred and worsened, and she died in the palace. How could she be called to the palace if her wounds had not healed? ”

"There are so many imperial doctors in the palace, they can't save Rong Niang."

"The emperor decreed that he would give the title 'Rouping' and give him a thick burial...... What kind of title is that, it's a nickname! ”

"Hah-thick burial!"

The Fifth Master's eyes surged with anger.

Although this patriarch of the Cheng clan, who has not been published, but has also read many sage books, has learned a belly of Confucianism, and firmly believes in the supremacy of imperial power and upholds orthodoxy of loyal monarchs and good people, but at this moment he has collapsed the faith he has always insisted on. Because the sixth master wrote the cause of Cheng Rong's death in the letter, it was so absurd and ridiculous that it made the fifth master lose his temper to this point!

Cheng Qing was afraid that the fifth master would not be able to stand the stimulation, and he couldn't care about anything else for a while, so he grabbed the fifth master's arm and didn't let go.

"Uncle, don't be like this, Aunt Rong will be uneasy to leave. I know what you mean, Aunt Rong's death has another hidden secret, she was injured to save the Queen Mother a few years ago, no matter how serious the injury should be healed, how could the injury worsen and die? Uncle, Aunt Rong's death is strange, if you don't cheer up, how can we avenge Aunt Rong! ”

The fifth master nodded mechanically, muttering the word "revenge" in his mouth.

Cheng Qing also helped the fifth master to sit down, he closed his eyes, and there was half a lot of incense, and when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer crazy.

Or that madness was pressed to a very deep place by the fifth master, and in that half-incense, he remembered his identity again, in addition to being Rong Niang's father, he was also the patriarch of the Nanyi Cheng clan, and behind him, there was a century-old family that had multiplied and developed for several generations-

"Brother Qing, we can't take revenge on this."

"The emperor said that Rong Niang died because of the deterioration of her injuries, and Rong Niang can only be the cause of death."

"Just like the emperor cut down those officials in Hetai Mansion and gave your father a posthumous honor, you can only accept it happily and kneel down to receive the order and thank you."

"Good boy, you go to the capital with your uncle, let's go and take Rong Niang back to Nanyi, don't let her stay alone in the capital."

The fifth master also has a son.

Cheng Rong is the old daughter of the fifth master's husband and wife, and the sons of the fifth master are all over thirty years old, and their official positions are not high, but they are also in other places all the year round, and they are not in Nanyi.

The fifth master also has grandchildren.

However, he is younger than Cheng Qing and is childish, and it is useless to encounter such a big event, so as soon as Cheng Qing received the news, he said that he was going to the capital to do this for Wufang.

The fifth master did not refuse Cheng Qing's kindness.

After venting, his sanity as the patriarch seemed to have returned to its place, but it was not complete.

If he would scold Cheng Qing for messing around in normal times, he would ask Cheng Qing if he still wanted to study, and educate Cheng Qing to focus on scientific examinations. But right now, the fifth master also wants to draw strength from Cheng Qing, a close and beloved junior, and actually agreed to Cheng Qing to follow him to the capital.

The emperor said that Cheng Rong died because of the deterioration of his injuries, so Cheng could only admit it?

Looking at the fifth old man with a slightly rickety back, Cheng Qing did not argue.

But that doesn't mean she's resigned to her fate.

is like the real murderer behind the murder of Cheng Zhiyuan, Cheng Qing remembers it in his heart!

She doesn't have enough strength now, so she doesn't argue with the fifth master, but these two things, one by one, are far from over in her place - Cheng Rong died too suddenly, if she wasn't the county lord, would Cheng Rong still be alive?

What honor did the royal family give, and sure enough, he had to take back more, and the emperor's grace was uncomfortable.

Cheng Qing lowered his head, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of sarcasm.

The news of Cheng Rong's death was sent back by Kuaima, and the fifth master did not make it public, but entrusted the clan affairs to a few clan elders and hurried to Beijing with Cheng Qing.

He didn't want Cheng Rong to be talked about when he died, so he would find a safe way to bury Cheng Rong after welcoming him back to the coffin.

But Cheng Qing is studying in the academy and wants to follow him to the capital, so some people are strange.

Cheng Qing used the rhetoric of "it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books", and others felt that Cheng Qing was probably floating.

If it's a study tour, it's too early!

At least you have to pass the township test and have a reputation, right?

Cui Yan also felt that something was wrong, but Cheng Qing refused to say more, and Cui Yan couldn't do anything: "Poor family and rich road, do you have enough money when you go out?" If you want to go to the capital, how long will you delay on the way back and forth, and do you want to take the township test next year...... Let's go, Brother Cui won't talk to you, you take my private seal, you can go to Yufeng Money Village to pay the silver when you have a short hand, and you can use it within 10,000 taels. ”

Cheng Qing didn't refuse, it's one thing for Cui Yan to give it or not, it's another thing for her to use it or not, and she simply accepted the private seal to reassure Cui Yan.

In just one day, Cheng Qing asked the academy for a long vacation, and asked the old man to take care of her home, brought a change of clothes casually, and packed a box of books and went to Beijing with the fifth master.
