Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Fake Father Becomes a Real Father
"Where are you going?" Zhang Erhu asked timidly.
"Go find your godfather." Fanzi's name is Li Ziyi, and he is a spy from the West Factory, who specializes in finding out news for the emperor in the market. At this time, he touched Zhang Erhu's head with a pleasant face and said softly.
In his opinion, there are only two possibilities for this. If what the child said is true, then saving him can be regarded as pleasing Father-in-law Cao. If it's fake, you don't have anything to lose. If you let people go, you can count it as a good deed.
But Zhang Dahai, who has a blue nose and swollen face, doesn't think so. How could such a big man recognize his child as a righteous son!
But I didn't dare to say no, otherwise it would be another beating.
What can I do? If you really want to see Grandpa Cao, wouldn't it be exposed?
Zhang Erhu was not very afraid, and gave full play to the spirit of the newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
"Okay!"
Li Ziyi glanced at Zhang Guangzu and smiled.
You'd better pray that what this kid says is false.
Seeing that Li Ziyi was going to take the two away, Zhang Guangzu didn't dare to stop him, so he let Zhang Dahai and his son follow Li Ziyi away, and they didn't forget to carry their chickens before leaving.
The three of them came to Xichang Hutong, Li Ziyi found a place for the two to rest, and went out to report the matter to their superiors.
"You kid! How to clean nonsense! Wait a minute, if Grandpa Cao really comes, he won't kill us!? ”
"But if I don't say that my father was killed just now."
"......" Zhang Dahai didn't know what to do for a while, and he didn't care about teaching his son a lesson, so he sat on the chair worriedly and didn't say a word.
The news of Zhang Dahai's father and son being beaten was reported layer by layer and reached his fake father Cao Huachun.
Cao Huachun is taking someone to check the account books of the imperial village, at the end of the year, if something goes wrong, the emperor will have to clean himself up again.
"Father-in-law, there is news from Xichang that there is a man named Zhang Erhu who said that he was your godson and was beaten."
Cao Huachun waved his hand impatiently when he heard this.
"What kind of bullshit are you talking about, how can we have a godson!"
When the little eunuch saw it, he knew that Cao Huachun was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say anything and withdrew.
"Damn, there are still people who are in a hurry to be sons these years."
Cao Huachun scolded and continued to work.
Hey?
Zhang Erhu?
A tiger-headed figure appeared in his head.
immediately ran out and stopped the little eunuch who was just about to go out.
"What did you just say my godson's name was?"
"Father-in-law, the messenger said that his name was Zhang Erhu. It is said that it is the person of Shunyi Huangzhuang. ”
"What's going on? Who beat me up? Cao Huachun said yes and hurriedly asked.
"It seems that because of selling chickens, I was beaten by the guards of Dingxi Bo Tangtong."
Tenants selling chickens were beaten by the earl?
Cao Huachun frowned and thought for a while. He was thinking about whether he should leave it to himself. He has a general relationship with Zhang Guangzu, but he will not offend him for a tenant. But it seems that the emperor likes this Zhang Erhu very much, and now pretending to be his godson must be to save himself. If you don't know, forget it, since you know it, it doesn't matter, and one day in the future, the emperor will know about it, and you have to clean yourself up.
Yes, tell the emperor to go up.
Thinking of this, Cao Huachun came to the Qianqing Palace and reported this time to Zhu Youzhen.
When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he frowned.
A tenant selling chickens was beaten by the earl? Why does it sound so magical?
"What about people now?"
"In the West Factory."
"Bring me to me."
"Yes, long live!"
When he went out, Cao Huachun breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the matter was reported to the emperor and he was not allowed to be cleaned up sooner or later.
When Cao Huachun appeared in the West Factory, Li Ziyi felt that he had made the right bet.
Because of his ancient ways, he prevented a disaster from happening, father and son recognized each other, and the bully was punished, what a good ending.
He wants to gain the appreciation of the red man in front of the emperor and the powerful eunuch of the inner court, and since then he has been on the rise, the general banner, a hundred households, a thousand households, and a pacification envoy. Li Ziyi smiled and was very happy.
"Where is our son?" Cao Huachun's voice was soft and without a trace of emotion.
"Father-in-law Cao, Ling Lang is resting in the house." Li Ziyi smiled and said respectfully to Cao Huachun.
So fucking your Lang, I was almost killed by the dog's day.
"Lead the way!"
"Hey~"
When Zhang Dahai saw Cao Huachun, he suddenly jumped up from the chair, and his legs were weak and he was about to kneel on the ground.
It's over, and the Xingshi is here!
Cao Huachun hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said with a smile:
"Brother didn't say a word when he entered the city, I will send someone to pick you up."
Zhang Dahai looked at Cao Huachun's pleasant face blankly, and was stunned and didn't hold back a word. How funny and funny a swollen face is.
"And you, Erhu, why are you so ignorant. Report my name early, who will dare to beat you? ”
What do I report? You're a fake!
Zhang Erhu was also blinded.
Cao Huachun saw that neither of them spoke, nor did he act.
"Come with us, the emperor wants to see you."
Li Ziyi on the side listened and clenched his fists! This calming down is stable.
Zhang Dahai and his son followed Cao Huachun into the legendary palace all the way, and after a strict investigation, they came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace.
"Wait here, I'll go in." After saying that, Cao Huachun walked in, leaving the two of them standing outside the hall with their heads bowed.
At this time, even Zhang Erhu, who has always been bold, didn't dare to look east and west at the moment, the unsmiling guards and the solemn palace brought him great pressure. He felt like his heart was going to jump out.
And Zhang Dahai's performance was even more unbearable, in the cold winter, cold sweat clearly broke out on his forehead. To him, it was a dream.
Not long after, Cao Huachun came out again.
"Come in." Then he led the father and son in.
Zhang Erhu saw Zhu Youzhen sitting behind the imperial case at a glance. At this moment, Zhu Youzhen was wearing a red regimental dragon robe, wearing a winged crown, showing his majesty.
The two hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen.
"What's going on with you two? Why was someone beat up selling a chicken? Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Dahai's swollen face and asked with a frown.
Seeing Zhang Dahai muttering for a long time, he didn't say why. Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Erhu.
"Erhu, you say!"
"Your Majesty, yesterday my father caught a few pheasants, and today I went into the city to sell them and buy some New Year's goods. We were going to sell a pheasant for 80 cents a piece, and he had to bargain for 10 cents a piece. If my dad doesn't sell it, he will rob it, and when my dad pulls his clothes, he will beat my dad. I was afraid that my father would be killed, so I said, I said that he was my godfather. Xu is first few times Zhu Youzhen gave him a good impression, and Zhang Erhu, who was a little nervous, was not nervous at the moment, quickly told what had happened, and finally stretched out his finger and pointed at Cao Huachun. In his consciousness, the emperor made his own decisions last time, and this time he will definitely do the same.
"In other words, you pretended to be Cao Huachun's godson in order to be your father?"
"Yes!"
"You kid is shrewd. Cao Huachun, I think the second tiger is good, brave and witty. Just admit this godson, and you can give you a pension in the future. ”
"Emperor Xie Kaig, I liked Erhu very much when I saw it for the first time, and I have long wanted to recognize this family business." When Cao Huachun on the side heard this, he quickly adjusted his overjoyed expression.
"Erhu, don't kowtow to your godfather soon!"
"Godfather." The second tiger is also simple, kneeling down and banging is three rings.
"Cao Huachun, your godson was bullied, can't you just leave it at that?"
"The slave understands."
Zhu Youzhen nodded, looked at Erhu, and said with a straight face.
"Erhu, you're going to study at the military academy after the New Year, you have to take care of your temperament!"
"Huh?" He thought that the emperor had forgotten about it.
"Since you have entered the city, you will finish your meal in the palace before leaving. I'll send someone to inform your mother. ”
"Thank you." Looking at the stunned two, Cao Huachun reminded.
The two knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, and Zhang Erhu finally asked the sentence that had been hidden in his heart for a long time:
"Your Majesty, where's Xiaohua?"
