313 Farewell (Asking for a monthly pass)
Zhan Shilang went to the Zheng family and brought the will of the Holy Emperor.
Due to the current pressure from all sides, the Holy Emperor's treatment of the Zheng clan was very merciful in her personal opinion.
Those who conspire with Zheng Ji in the Zheng clan will inevitably be punished with death.
Those who knew about it, as well as the children of Zheng Ji's lineage, were sentenced to exile.
The innocent clansmen who have been verified, and the children under the age of 14, will not be punished, but they must be sent out of Xingyang and scattered and resettled in various places.
Household property, farmland, books, and slaves were all confiscated.
The Zheng family's business is huge, there is no need to say much about the breadth of people, and it is not easy to raid the house, even though Li Xian has been roughly counted and divided before, but in terms of Zhan Shilang and his party, everything that follows is still a big work.
In the past two days, those clansmen who were about to be sent out of Xingyang left the Zheng family's century-old mansion one after another.
In the middle of the clan, a young man looked back at the door of the house where the plaque had been removed, and the word "Zheng Zhai" of the former Xuanhe was no longer visible on it.
The next moment, he saw a dark gray figure walking out of the door.
The young man's eyes, which were a little dark and sunken due to his rapid weight loss recently, were suddenly filled with hatred, and he called him by his name: "...... Zheng Chao!"
Unlike them, who were about to be forcibly sent out of Xingyang, Zheng Chao, who killed the head of the family and was also a descendant, was not even affected.
The imperial court and the so-called emperor used Zheng Chao to control the water and pray for blessings, and pardoned his sins, but praised them more!
They also heard that the empress even intended to recruit him as an official!
It's ridiculous and disgusting!
The clansmen on the young man's side also looked at Zheng Chao with hatred.
And those women who are holding young children in their arms and holding young children in their hands are mostly numb, crying and crying, tears have long been drained, and now all that is left is the hesitation of the unknown future.
「…… A shameless villain who seeks glory by rebelling! You will be punished by heaven!"
With a scolding, the young man smashed a shoe at Zheng Chao.
The cloth shoe smashed on Zheng Chao's shoulder, and the official in charge of the repatriation reprimanded the young man, and the woman beside the young man grabbed him and shook her head at him, with persuasion in her eyes that she did not want to do anything more.
"Why, seeing that he is about to rise to prominence and become an official in the court, are you all afraid of him and afraid of him!" The young man's eyes were red: "I'm not afraid of him! Filthy villain, why be afraid!"
He stared straight at Zheng Chao: "Stepping on the bones of my Zheng clan...... Zheng Chao, this Qingyun Road, can you walk with peace of mind!"
Zheng Chao bent down and picked up the cloth shoe, walked in front of him, handed it over, and said in the same tone as he did to his juniors: "This journey is very long, you can't stop, you can't lose your shoes."
The young man waved off the cloth shoe, looked at the Wanmin umbrella behind Zheng Chao, gritted his teeth and said, "Enough! Stop pretending to be hypocritical about your righteousness!"
Zheng Chao smiled meaninglessly, did not get angry, and left with his hands: "Okay, then you will walk barefoot."
As Zheng Chao and as an elder, he has fulfilled all the responsibilities he can do.
"Zheng Guancang, are you worthy of the ancestors of the Zheng family?!" A hissing and exhausted questioning voice sounded behind him.
Zheng Chaotou didn't reply, "Of course it's worthy. I have done a great deal of merit, not only worthy of them, but also of much surplus, and they will find me some gratitude, and they will bless me with a good life and a life of ninety-nine."
"You, Zheng Chao...... You're shameless!"
Zheng Chao didn't care, and left easily.
No one will listen to the explanations of the pros and cons, so there is no need to explain them, the Zheng family are all people who have read and enlightened since childhood, and the truth does not need to be told by others, if you are willing to figure it out, you will naturally be able to figure it out.
If he doesn't want to figure it out, he can't smash those skulls one by one and pull out that string, right?
For these people, the road ahead will be difficult, they will no longer be looked up to as the children of the scholars, they will change into cloth clothes, and work like ordinary people. It is difficult to move from luxury to frugality, and there may be people who are "unbearable to be humiliated."
was ground up, and even chose to give up his life to preserve the so-called wind bones.
But being able to choose to die by yourself is also a good thing in Zheng Chao's view.
Being able to decide your own life and death is also a rare freedom.
And those who are willing to survive, know how to be self-reliant, and do not compromise with adversity are the true continuation of his Zheng ancestor.
The general trend of the decline of the scholar clan has been determined, even if it is not in the present dynasty, but it will also be in the Ming Dynasty, in such a situation, Zheng Ji acted radically, and the empress wanted to uproot the scholar clan and crush the heart very strongly, which was the "law of both worlds" that he had never dared to imagine.
These clansmen will scatter their own people, but as General Ning Yuan said, they will be like stars in the day, seemingly non-existent, but in fact they are only temporarily hidden, and in the places where they can't be seen, they will still shine brightly, continuing the glory of Heluo's thousand-year-old heritage.
That's good.
Zheng Chao is in a very good mood, he has never had such an open and upward state of mind, he has been decadent for many years to accumulate mental energy, at this moment is so abundant as if it is about to overflow, when he turned his head, he saw a dirty, knotted hair long-haired dog squatting under the wall, all felt that his hands were very itchy, and he wanted to catch it and wash it wildly, wash it clean, wash it and look new.
He is a man of natural abundance, and once he is reborn, he wants to regenerate all things.
Zheng Chao really walked towards the long-haired dog, and was about to squat down when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him: "Mr. Zheng!"
Zheng Chao looked back and saw that it was a young man in an official uniform, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to salute: "Dare to ask the lord, but there is still an unfinished explanation?"
saw that the other party shook his head, and also saluted him respectfully: "Junior Song Xian, I am here to send Mr."
Hearing this name, Zheng Chao showed a sudden expression: "Disrespectful, it was the new Song champion!"
The champion of the poor family, just take it out, it is all an incredible character.
Zheng Chao saluted the other party again: "I also want to thank Song Zhuangyuan for interceding for Zheng in Beijing."
"Mr. Song has been instructed in the grass hall and admires Mr. as a person, this is a heartfelt move, and Mr. does not need to thank him." Song Xian looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, his eyes sincere: "It was Mr. Song who let Song know that not all the corporal clans in the world despise all sentient beings. Sir is now infamous among the nobles, but this righteous act will be meritorious for a thousand years."
Looking at the open-minded young man in front of him, Zheng Chao smiled modestly and said, "It's just survival, Lord Song praised it falsely."
After another conversation, Song Xian asked him about his future plans.
Hearing that Zheng Chao had no intention of entering Beijing to seek an official, Song Xian was slightly stunned and only felt regretful.
Zheng Chao didn't feel sorry for it, in his opinion, the reason why the Holy Book Emperor had such a remark was just because he now had some reputation among the people, out of decency, and a polite remark.
If he does go, what will happen to him after that, and maybe he will end up there.
Moreover, he is righteous and kills his relatives, but if he uses this to enter the court to seek officials, he will be somewhat shameless, and if he quarrels with his colleagues one day, the other party will be able to take him to death if he sacrifices this matter to the yin and yang.
He didn't want to ask for this grievance.
He inherently wanted to give up all his life, but he also had to save his life first. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, you might as well take care of it first and wait for the coming day.
He's going to live to ninety-nine anyway.
Zheng Chao said with a smile: "Zheng has no intention of going to court, and plans to travel and lecture everywhere......
Although Song Xian regretted it, he also knew that such things could not be persuaded, and after some advice, he finally bowed deeply to Zheng Chao again: "May there be a day when I will see Mr. again."
Zheng Chao: "The four seas are turbulent, and the court is also stormy, you and I take care."
Song Xianying watched the comfortable figure leave.
Zheng Chao walked for a long time before leaving the Zheng family's house, which occupied the long alley of the entire street.
Zheng Chao plucked out his ears, and his ears were finally clear, and he couldn't hear those scoldings anymore.
These days, he was also detained in the Zheng family, listening to the scolding every day, and his ears were calloused.
Those scolding voices are very vicious, and the way of scolding him is also very particular, one person is tired of scolding, so he changes to another
People came, took turns day and night, and kept scolding outside his door.
scolded him a lot, but he was pitiful for having such a pair of ears, stuffed with cotton wool every day and night, so that he could barely support it to this day.
Zheng Chao took out all the fine cotton wool left in his ears, and looked ahead, before leaving Xingyang and going to travel and lecture, he had to go to a place first.
"How's the injury going?"
Chang Suian followed Chang Suining on this day and came to visit Cui Jing, but was asked by Cui Jing first.
"I've been raising it for more than half a year, and now it's all right!" Chang Sui replied before asking Cui Jing again: "Governor, is the injury on your body important?"
Cui Jing: "It's okay, just take care of it for a while."
"That means that the Metropolitan Governor is strong enough, and if you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you can only lie down!" Doctor Cao took the opportunity to say.
Listening to this flattery, Cui Jing was speechless.
He was going to change the doctor, but after repeated inquiries, Yuan Xiang learned that although this Cao doctor had a broken mouth, he had excellent medical skills, and he was an expert in trauma, and he was the best trauma doctor in the entire Xingyang City.
Yuan Xiang comforted his own governor, it is important to treat the injury, as for Doctor Cao's broken mouth, and endure it, it should be regarded as part of the consultation fee.
Dr. Cao's broken mouth is not only on the surface, but also on the inside.
He admits that he has the scheming to become inflammatory, but his praise for Governor Cui is heartfelt!
Recently, every time he helps Cui Dadu change the medicine, he can't help but feel envy in his heart - if Cui Dadudu's figure and face are all on him, he can't imagine how villain he will be.
In the front, there is a broken mouth of Doctor Cao, and there is a perennial An secret in the back.
Chang Sui'an asked a lot around Cui Jing, and talked about what he had seen and heard along the way, just when Cui Jing thought he was tired, he found that he changed the topic, and said to his sister with a hundred times more energy.
But a rough summary shows that what he wants to express is nothing more than the following three -
Therefore, Ning Ning is a prodigy in war.
Therefore, Ning Ning is also a genius of blessing.
So, Ning Ning is a wizard among wizards!
In fact, at first, when Chang Suian heard about the battle of Bianshui, although he heard that his sister had won a big victory, he still felt palpitations, and he couldn't help but write to Daddy, asking Daddy why he asked his sister to set up an ambush to attack Xu Zhengye, but Daddy was chasing after him in a fake way, shouldn't it be the other way around?
My sister has only fought a few battles, how much experience can she have?
On the contrary, it was Daddy, who had fought all his life, why did he hide behind his sister this time?
He asked a lot of questions, and Daddy quickly replied, and a total of four big words were written on the letter paper - you know a fart!
Although it was just a letter, Chang Suian still wiped his face, only to feel that Daddy's spit stars had collapsed on his face.
This way to find his sister, listening to those "legends" about his sister on the way, he gradually accepted this fact, slowly unloaded the palpitations, and began to immerse himself and be honored.
If the only regret is that in the midnight dream, he will always think of Qiao Yubai who is far away in Beijing, and he doesn't dare to think about how hateful Qiao Yubai's proud face is at this moment.
Therefore, Chang Suian now seized the opportunity to praise his sister and defend the status of the real brother.
But Cui Jing didn't even think he was noisy, one of the two of them could praise and the other could listen, but Chang Suining felt redundant.
In the end, it was Yuan Xiang who came to spread the word.
Soon, Zheng Chao was invited in.
Chang Suining looked over and saw that the robe on his body was very old, and the scars left on his forehead when praying for blessings had not completely disappeared, but at a glance, the depression around him had been swept away.
Zheng Chao came to visit his nephew, he was scolded by the Zheng family, and his nephew was also expelled from the Cui family.
But walking here, all the way around, I saw that the eldest nephew was still surrounded by soldiers, majestic and majestic, and the breath of wind and rain was blowing in my face......
On the other hand, looking at his own poverty and whiteness, Zheng Chao can't help but realize that the misery between people is not the same thing.
The eldest nephew didn't seem to need his comfort at all.
But Zheng Chao still forcibly comforted a few words, and greeted Cui Jing with warmth, very concerned.
He also explained his plans to travel and lecture next, revealing just the right amount of reluctance in his words.
Cui Jing understood and ordered Yuanxiang to present a silver ticket to his uncle's lecture.
Looking at the thick pile of silver tickets, Zheng Chao once again sighed in his heart, it is also not tolerated by the family, but his nephew still has such a thick family foundation, which shows the importance of self-reliance to carry out a side business.
Zheng Chao was reluctant to refuse, and the reasoning was inappropriate, and he was finally forcibly stuffed into the robe around his waist by Yuan Xiang enthusiastically.
Seeing that his waist and abdomen were supported by silver tickets, as if he was pregnant for six months, Zheng Chao's eyes were worried, and he said in his words that he was on the road with a huge amount of money, and he was afraid that he would be coveted.
Cui Jing: "...... I have prepared an escort for my uncle, and they will follow and protect him secretly, so my uncle can rest assured."
Faced with such a thoughtful arrangement by his nephew, Zheng Chao felt relieved.
Cui Jing kept him for lunch, Zheng Chao refused, everything was ready at the moment, even when he spread his wings and flew away, he didn't want to wait for a moment.
"Ling An, you are so sick and injured, and the road ahead is long and ...... After you leave, your uncle will often write to you and share with you what he has seen along the way."
Cui Jing didn't stay long, he was not suitable to move around, so he asked Yuan Xiang to send him off.
Zheng Chao looked at Chang Suining with a smile.
Chang Suining understood: "I'll send one to Mr. Zheng."
