Chapter 182: Zhao Kang's life experience
The whole team, roll call, and assigned guys, Zhou Xiadong arranged the morning's work in an orderly manner, and left Zhao Kang without a trace.
originally thought that Brother Dong had something to do alone, and it wasn't once or twice, Zhao Kang happily obeyed, shaking his fan against the cold wind and waiting for others to finish, and was about to come forward to ask, but was instructed by Zhou Xiadong to go to the house to talk about it.
Zhao Kang was surprised, although the brothers often drank tea and talked about their hearts, they were basically idle in the afternoon, and rarely early in the morning.
came to Zhou Xiadong's room with suspicion, entered the door with the front foot, Feng Zhiping followed with the back foot, but Zhou Xiadong did not come in, but gently closed the door and turned to leave.
Zhao Kang looked at Feng Zhiping, Feng Zhiping also looked at him, staring at each other with big eyes for a long time, Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows: "What, early in the morning, is this going to have a private meeting with me or what?" Tell you, you died of this heart!"
Feng Zhiping was worried about how to speak, and when he heard this, he immediately laughed and sneered: "Don't worry, I will be a dog and a pig and I will not be you!"
Zhao Kang looked surprised: "It turns out that Shuang'er sister is like this in your heart!"
Feng Zhiping was speechless, he didn't have the heart to continue arguing, walked to the table and pulled out a chair to signal Zhao Kang to sit, and went around to sit on the opposite side.
"So serious?" Zhao Kang sat down, his eyes suspicious, "Something to ask me?"
Feng Zhiping glanced at him, his eyes drooped slightly, and when he spoke, he felt that it was inappropriate, and took a light breath to meet Zhao Kang's eyes.
"I'm leaving, going outside to practice, I told Brother Dong that he would bring a few brothers with him, and he promised to help me talk to Steward Fang, before that, I want to determine who wants to be with me. ”
Zhao Kang was stunned: "Who allowed it, Elder Wu agreed?"
Feng Zhiping was inconvenient to elaborate, and said vaguely: "You don't care who it is, in short, I will leave in three days, what I want to do is to bring you, Lao Dong, Yu Daring, Ma Liu and Xu Hao, so let's ask you what you mean first." ”
Zhao Kang frowned suspiciously: "Everyone else agreed?"
"Well, before I could ask, the first thing I looked for was you. ”
"Why was you the first to find me?"
"You have the most problems, of course you have to be the first to ask, lest you hold it endlessly. ”
Feng Zhiping wanted to save the country, but Zhao Kang didn't pick up the stubble, staring at Feng Zhiping for a moment, and his suspicion became stronger.
Unable to withstand the scrutinizing gaze, Feng Zhiping staggered his gaze and pretended to drink tea, only to remember that the overnight tea had been drunk by Zhou Xiadong, and he had no choice but to put down and raise his eyes to look again, the scrutinizing gaze had changed to understanding, and Zhao Kang smiled playfully.
"You went out this time, are you planning to come back, are you trying to recruit us?"
Feng Zhiping glared, and before he could speak, Zhao Kang waved his hand to interrupt.
"Don't deny it, it's not the first day we met, I don't know who you are?
Feng Zhiping secretly smiled bitterly, this person is indeed too fine, so he simply let go of his mind and nodded calmly, adding: "It's not that you don't necessarily come back, but there is a high probability that you will go home directly." ”
"Go home? hehe, I see. ”
Zhao Kang smiled, his eyes made Feng Zhiping's heart weak, he leaned back and hugged his arms, looking at Feng Zhiping's eyes and analyzing them.
"From the first time I saw you, I knew that your origin was not simple, although you tried your best to hide it, and you wanted to behave like a rough man like Lao Dong, but the habits you have developed since childhood cannot be changed in a day or two, you work hard, but to be honest, it has only been barely passed in the last two months. ”
Feng Zhiping smiled embarrassedly, he always felt that he had done a good job, but when it came to Zhao Kang's mouth, he barely passed, and it was recently.
Zhao Kang paused and continued: "I've been guessing your origin, Feng Zai Tianyuan is not a big surname, there are only a few families that can be named, I began to think that you are a descendant of the Feng family in Liyang or the Chongyi Earl's Mansion, and then I tried a few times and found that it is not, you are very unfamiliar with these two families and several other families surnamed Feng." ”
Feng Zhiping's pupils shrank, remembering that Zhao Kang often coldly came up with a few strange words that were not involved, and it sounded like he was squeezing Lao Dong or complaining about something, but now he realized that he was actually testing himself, and his suspicion of himself had never stopped.
"Why don't you ask me?"
"Will you say it if you ask?" Zhao Kang asked rhetorically, and without waiting for an answer, he took the lead and smiled, "Besides, how boring it is to ask, can I guess it to show that I am smart, isn't it?" Besides, how do I know if you are my enemy, in case, wouldn't it be a surprise to ask rashly?"
Enemies?
"Do you have a grudge?"
"Who can go to the rivers and lakes without three or two enemies? Lao Dong has all of them, I am better than him in everything in terms of appearance and ability, how can I be an exception?"
Zhao Kang is quite stinky, as if he has an enemy and how glorious he is, Feng Zhiping is extremely speechless, Zhao Kang in this state is really sultry.
"Who is your enemy, tell me and listen to it!"
"I have a lot of enemies, as for whether there is you or not, hehe, then I have to see where you come from. ”
Leaning forward slightly, Zhao Kang raised his chin: "Let's talk about it, my Young Master Feng, which family are you?"
The topic seems to be being diverted?
Feng Zhiping frowned, wanting to lead back to the conversation and regain control of the rhythm of the conversation, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary, he had to say it anyway, sooner or later, just tell the truth.
"Quanzhou City, Jianhou Mansion, my name is Feng Zhiping. ”
In an instant, Zhao Kang's rather playful smile froze on his face, his eyes were frightened and fierce for a while, and the repeated changes were extremely complicated.
Grass, is there really a grudge?!
No wonder Brother Dong has such an expression!
Feng Zhiping secretly complained, silently used his internal strength, secretly scolded himself for being careless, and didn't take the sword for self-defense when he went out.
Just as he was pondering how to deal with it, Zhao Kang suddenly let out a long breath and leaned back on the back of the chair weakly, his face no longer calm and confident, full of self-deprecation.
"Dodge, dodge, you can't hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't dodge fifteen, you can bump into this, what is Lao Tzu's life!"
Doesn't look like he was going to make a move, Feng Zhiping relaxed slightly, and asked cautiously: "That, my family has a grudge against your family?"
Zhao Kang glared, Feng Zhiping shrunk his neck in a daze, and he really asked a stupid question.
"Siping Zhao family, have you heard of it?" Zhao Kang suddenly asked.
Feng Zhiping thought seriously and shook his head.
Zhao Kang shook his head and laughed at himself: "Yes, my Zhao family is also considered to have a head and a face in the Siping area, but in front of Chi Jianhou, it is no different from a small shrimp, if you say that you are pinched to death, you will be pinched to death." ”
Feng Zhiping heard that something was wrong, and his eyes gradually widened, could it be that this hatred is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, and his father destroyed his family?
"Don't look at me like that, speaking of which, my parents are also to blame, and it has affected the whole clan, strictly speaking, Jian Houye is still kind to my family, if he hadn't interceded, I would have been in a mass grave by now. ”
Feng Zhiping just breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Zhao Kang say again: "But he was the one who led people to raid the house back then, and he was also the one who was imprisoned, and the elders of the clan who committed the crime, as well as my parents who were implicated, all died under his sword." Chixiao, hehe, Chixiao, Earth Fire Red Lotus Ember Qiongxiao, the Zhao family's century-old foundation, more than 300 people, even I survived less than 20, I really don't know whether to thank him or hate him. ”
Feng Zhiping was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Feng Moxiu's Chixiao Sword was easy not to move, as far as he knew, the old man had not made a move for ten years except for the routine "flirting and scolding" with Aunt Shen, what did the Zhao family do to make the old man use the Chixiao Sword?
Glancing at Feng Zhiping, Zhao Kang looked at the sky with a wry smile: "The matter is not complicated, and it is not wronged, in the case of Huangquan, many people in my Zhao family are involved." ”
"Huangquan case?!"
Feng Zhiping got up and sat down slowly.
He understood, all understood.
At that time, the Huangquan case lasted more than ten years, and the uproar was uproar, and the emperor was really angry, and several times he strictly ordered that there was no wrongful killing, and the advice of the officials was useless, and the most diligent of several persuasions were also dismissed and the officials were sent to prison, and everyone was in danger for a while.
During this period, dozens of wealthy nobles were implicated, ranging from deprivation of the title to confiscation of family property, and at worst to exterminate the family and not a single one was left, including hundreds of thousands of years of ancient families, but without exception, all those who were verified were severely punished.
They are still like this, not to mention those who are implicated below, Siping Zhao family is obviously one of the small shrimps, can leave Zhao Kang and other more than 20 living mouths, all thanks to Feng Mo Xiu's benevolence, otherwise, according to the emperor's will, not only will the Zhao family not be left, but it may also affect two or three clans.
"Come to think of it, I think I should thank you. Zhao Kang suddenly laughed.
Feng Zhiping was dazed: "Thank me?"
Zhao Kang nodded, and sighed: "I was raised by my second aunt, I was still young at that time, I only remember that the fire was soaring, and the shouting and killing sound was terrifying, and then I heard my second aunt say that we should all die at that time, and we had to be degraded to slaves and detained and educated, it was your father who came forward to protect us, saying that his crime should be punished but should not be expanded, the first evil, accomplices and their relatives can be punished, and we who have been implicated in vain can be reprimanded, there is no need to accompany all the burials, so as not to lose the hearts of the people and cause greater panic." I only hated those old thieves of the Yan clan, and they didn't think of us when they had good things, but they remembered us when they committed something, and they actually incited several of our Shu tribes to resist, saying that the officers and soldiers who confiscated them were impersonated by bandits. Those old people were also confused, and they believed it in a panic, which caused Chijian Hou to be furious and set fire to Zhaojiazhuang, thanks to my second uncle and aunt who were sensible and took me to hide, and showed up and confessed as soon as possible afterwards, and my father and mother were... And my little sister, who was only three years old at the time, was scattered in a panic and was gone. ”
Feng Zhiping was very sympathetic, but he still didn't understand: "What does this have to do with me?"
Zhao Kang said quietly: "The second uncle and the second aunt took the initiative to admit their guilt, their attitude was sincere, and they were willing to exchange one death for my thoughtfulness, the two of them could not have children, and they always regarded me as their own son." After learning of this, Chi Jianhou personally summoned him, and after detailed interrogation, he confirmed that the three of us had nothing to do with the Huangquan case, so he pardoned the three of us and more than 20 other surviving clansmen for their capital crimes, and changed them to exile. Before leaving, my second aunt heard him tell the advising lieutenant that he did not make this decision because of benevolence in his heart or conscience, but because his son-in-law was about to be born, and he wanted to accumulate virtue for his son-in-law. ”
After Zhao Kang finished speaking, he quietly looked at Feng Zhiping, and Feng Zhiping's expression changed, sometimes happy, sometimes ashamed, sometimes worried, sometimes regretful, and the road was endlessly complicated.
It turns out that there is such a past.
Father, sure enough, loves himself.
