Chapter 320: Treason (Eight More Votes)

And you, even more calmly accepted, without shirk, I think you should have seen the clues, that's why you said this. ”

Xie Yinan said, raised his eyes and looked at Song Leshan, as if asking if what she had guessed was accurate.

"It's about the same." Song Leshan stretched out his hand and scratched Xie Yinan's nose: "In my previous life, although I have been stationed at the border pass, except for the pilgrimage once every two years, I rarely return to the capital. ”

"So I don't know much about some things in the capital, but I have heard about some things, including the Cheng family."

"It is said that this Cheng family is also a famous family for thousands of years, and the main energy of the generations is to do business here, so the business of this Cheng family can be said to be doing wind and water, and making money every day."

"The children and grandchildren of the Cheng family have been carefully cultivated since childhood, and there is absolutely no room for anything wrong, especially when it comes to this pair of Cheng family brothers and sisters, Cheng Gongzi is very talented in business at a young age, and Miss Cheng is a famous lady in the world."

"Because of the family background and the appearance of the two, there is an endless stream of people who propose marriage to their brothers and sisters, and they have broken through the threshold, and Cheng Gongzi finally married the daughter of the Wang family, which is also a matter of not talking about the family, and it is Miss Cheng's marriage that has not been decided."

"Many years later, the Cheng family suddenly broke the news that a son-in-law was recruited for Miss Cheng, and the son-in-law joined the Cheng family and became a member of the Cheng family."

"Recruiting a son-in-law?" Xie Yinan was a little puzzled: "If there is no male in this Cheng family, it is reasonable to recruit a son-in-law for Miss Cheng, but since there is a son of Cheng as the eldest brother, why should he recruit a son-in-law for Miss Cheng?" ”

The son-in-law recruited is a member of the Cheng family, and he will enjoy the right of inheritance in the future, even if the family property he gets at that time cannot be compared with Cheng Yunhao, but in the end, he has to share some, Cheng Yunhao, who is the son-in-law, should be a little awkward in his heart.

And the side branch of the Cheng family, presumably there will be a lot of discussions, although they are side branches, but they have the blood of the Cheng family on their bodies, and they can't get too much, so that outsiders can take advantage of them so easily, and they will be very unwilling in their hearts.

In addition, he will be pointed out by the world, and even question whether Cheng Yunhao will have a hidden illness and have nothing to do in the future, so he will think about recruiting a son-in-law for his daughter.

In short, the matter of recruiting a son-in-law can be said to have a great impact, and ordinary people will not easily recruit a son-in-law for their daughters, even if they are afraid that their daughters will be wronged when they get married, at most, when they are looking for marriage, they will not climb the power and find a family background for their daughter, or a little lower than their own family background, so that the daughter's husband's family is jealous.

"The Cheng family's recruitment of a son-in-law for Miss Cheng naturally caused an uproar, and many people also talked about it, but the Cheng family insisted on doing so, so that Miss Cheng finished her marriage, and the husband she recruited moved into the Cheng family."

"The people were amazed and even speculated, but they never came to a conclusion, and as time went by, they did not say much, so as not to cause some unpleasantness."

"Originally, everyone gradually forgot about it, but two years later, something happened to the Cheng family."

Song Leshan paused, and then said: "The Cheng family was told to the emperor by a letter, saying that Cheng Gongzi had fornicated with foreign enemies and intended to rebel. ”

"As soon as this incident came out, the magnates in the capital were in an uproar, and they only felt that it was impossible, the Cheng family has always kept their duties, and there has never been any trespassing, and the Cheng family has been doing business for generations, and it has been handed over to the imperial treasury with a large amount of silver every year, and its loyalty is commendable."

"When the emperor learned of this, he was also very shocked, thinking that there would be no such thing, but since someone complained, it should be investigated, at least there must be a formality, which can be regarded as an explanation to everyone, and at the same time has the intention of knocking other families."

"So, the emperor sent the minister to the Cheng family to investigate, and found a secret passage in the backyard of the Cheng family, and in the secret room in the secret passage, a large amount of evidence of the Cheng family's trade and communication with the enemy country was found, and there was even evidence that the Cheng family sold pig iron weapons, gunpowder, etc. to the enemy country."

"In addition, among the letters, there is also a map of the palace that has not yet been sent away, and has not yet been fully drawn, and it also marks the time of the emperor's whereabouts."

"With these things, the emperor decided that the Cheng family did have bad intentions, so he detained all the Cheng family for interrogation, and finally the Cheng family confessed to collaborating with the enemy and treason."

"In view of the loyalty of the Cheng family over the years, and the countless family properties obtained by the Cheng family, the emperor issued an edict to execute all the descendants of the Cheng family and the slaves in the family, but did not implicate the side branches, and the matter was settled."

"This Cheng family is also a family, and it is really ...... to do this kind of thing" Xie Yinan sighed and sighed, but quickly tightened his brows and said, "Then the Cheng family at this time ......"

Shouldn't it be the same as before, at this time, he is also collaborating with the enemy and treasoning.

No, no, Song Leshan said that in his last life, the two countries were at war and suffered countless casualties, but in this life, the two countries have diplomatic relations, communicate with each other, and are very harmonious.

The Cheng family should no longer be the same as in the previous life.

"The matter of the Cheng family, in fact, I haven't finished talking yet."

As he spoke, the two of them had already arrived at home, Song Leshan took a pot to make tea, and continued: "At that time, the person who reported the Cheng family for collaborating with the enemy and treason was not a bystander, but a son-in-law who recruited a lot for Miss Cheng. ”

"What?" Xie Yinan was startled, and the water cup handed over by Song Leshan almost slipped his hand.

"When I heard the news, I was as shocked as you were." Song Leshan sat down with a smile: "Many people are also quite strange, why is this person doing the report. ”

"After all, he is a person who has already entered the Cheng family, and he is a member of the Cheng family, as far as ordinary people are concerned, he has always been a protector and a friend, and he will not easily report to the emperor, and this person is a son-in-law from outside, such things should not let him know so carefully."

"Many people were very skeptical about this matter at the time, but that person declared to the outside world, saying that he originally admired the Cheng family as a family loyal to the country, and even liked Miss Cheng as a famous lady, so he was willing to join the family, and he never thought that he would accidentally find out that the Cheng family had done such a conscience-destroying thing, so he was very angry in his heart, and felt that he could not let the country suffer, and he should not let the Cheng family be so wrong, so he denounced the Cheng family."

"There is nothing wrong with what he said, and many people also believe what he said, and there are even some civil officials and scholars, praising him as a person who is loyal to the monarch and serving the country, and asking the emperor to save his life."

"And this person survived, and even received a lot of rewards, and got the idle title of a Dingguo Marquis, which can be regarded as a moment of glory."
