Chapter 104 I Want Deng Zheng to Live a Life Worse Than Death
The prefect of Jingzhao kept looking at Deng Zheng with shocked eyes.
The Mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo is a century-old family and has indeed been valued by emperors of several dynasties. Although he did not understand it, it was not surprising that the Deng family had a golden medal of immunity from death based on the achievements of their ancestors.
"Deng Zheng, you are really good at this!"
The prefect of Jingzhao couldn't help but want to applaud him.
He could even send someone to deliver a token to the Jingzhao Prefecture prison, making the entire Jingzhao Prefecture a laughing stock.
Deng Zheng smiled complacently.
As early as when Gu faked his death and left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he realized that there was a high possibility that he would be convicted and executed one day.
By then, there will be no one around him he can count on.
In order to prepare himself early, he handed over the Deng family's golden medal of immunity from death to Gu in advance. This item had been in the hands of his grandmother Meng before, and even his mother Han Qiongyue didn't know of its existence.
After he was imprisoned, the shrewd Gu handed him the golden medal of immunity from death through the prison window.
Deng Zheng sighed, saying that at critical moments, his wife is still the most reliable!
Gu also had selfish motives. Her son and lover were dead; her adopted daughter's life or death was unknown; and her maternal family was exiled.
She had no one to rely on in this world and could only try her best to save her husband Deng Zheng.
"Prefect Feng, when will you go to see His Majesty?" Deng Zheng urged.
The reason why he dares to commit suicide is that he still has hope.
Even the emperor cannot take his life just like that!
The prefect of Jingzhao had no choice but to take him into the palace.
When the emperor saw the golden medal of immunity from death in his hand, he hated him to the core.
This guy, who has been playing with the crap out of everyone for most of his life, is really a scoundrel.
How could the Deng family, a century-old family, produce such a rotten person?
The emperor pointed at him angrily and said, "You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. Take him away, give him fifty strokes of the cane, exile him three thousand miles away, and never allow him to enter the capital again."
Deng Zheng knew that he would die sooner or later, and he was not even afraid of the emperor, so he directly contradicted him:
"Your Majesty, I accept the punishment of exile."
"But I will punish you with fifty strokes of the cane. After these fifty strokes, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive!"
"Your Majesty, do you not recognize this golden medal of immunity from death bestowed by the late emperor?"
He brought out the previous emperor and threatened the emperor.
If he really died today, the fact that the emperor did not recognize the golden medal of immunity from death would be spread by the Gu family and known to everyone.
How can the royal family go back on their word?
Looking at the kneeling Deng Zheng, the more humble he appeared, the angrier the emperor became.
He punched the table in front of him. As an emperor, how could he not punish a criminal who deserved to be cut into pieces?
"Your Majesty, calm down. We can't punish him now. We can do it on the way..."
Eunuch Fu on the side gave him an idea, and at the end of his speech, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Just like what the prince did to the He family.
Once they were exiled, whether they lived or died depended entirely on their luck.
"But this is too easy for Deng Zheng!"
The emperor was so angry. He was just narrow-minded. If it weren't for the fact that the other surviving members of the Deng family also hated Deng Zheng to the core, it would be understandable for him to chop off the heads of the entire Zhenguo Mansion based on the way Deng Zheng had contradicted him today.
"I heard that Princess Youning would poison you. Go find her and ask her to do it. I want Deng Zheng to live a life worse than death!"
Eunuch Fu bowed and withdrew. Deng Zheng was not killed as he wished and was sent back to prison. After a few days when the Jingzhao prefect was ready, he would be exiled.
Deng Youning, Han Qiongyue and others were having dinner with Deng Ren and Deng Yan'an, father and son, when they learned that Deng Zheng had taken out the golden medal of immunity from death.
When the right person sits next to them, they feel that the food tastes especially delicious.
"Come on, Brother An, eat more."
Han Qiongyue added a bite of food to Deng Yan'an and liked the child more and more the more she looked at him.
She, the legitimate descendant of the Deng family, is better than that ungrateful bastard Deng Yi!
"Thank you, Grandma."
Deng Yan'an thanked him gently.
As a university scholar, he is a gentle and kind man in the capital.
Now that his father's revenge has been achieved and his true identity has been restored, he has become a lot more cheerful and bright.
"Ren'er, you should eat more too."
"From now on, you will be the master of this Zhenguo Mansion. All affairs of the mansion will be arranged by you."
"If you don't like the servants of Deng Zheng and Gu, you can sell them. You can also dispose of their yards and things as you like."
Han Qiongyue wanted Deng Ren and his son to live more comfortably in her house.
These are what the entire Deng family owes him!
"Don't worry, mother. These children know what's going on."
Deng Ren nodded modestly.
The house has always been looked after by my mother and Ning Yatou, and has not been disturbed by the changes at home.
However, the military camp was in chaos.
The most important thing for the Deng family is the military power of the Deng family army. Winning over the hearts of the army is not an easy task.
He planned to move into the military camp in a few days.
Just as the family was enjoying their happy family life, news came about the unexpected changes that happened to Deng Zheng.
At the same time, the palace sent someone to tell Deng Youning to give Deng Zheng a poison that would not kill him but would make his life worse than death.
Deng Youning was invited to the Jingzhao Prefecture Prison.
Seeing the triumphant Deng Zheng, she smiled bitterly and admired her father's methods.
She poured Deng Zheng a cup of poisoned wine:
"Today, I, Deng Youning, and you, Deng Zheng, will be separated from each other."
"From now on, you and I have no father-daughter relationship."
No matter how cruel Deng Zheng was, he was still her biological father after all. Even though she was following the emperor's order to poison her biological father, she was afraid of being punished by God.
Anyway, she had wanted to break off the relationship with him a long time ago.
"If you admit that you are breaking off your relationship with me, drink this glass of wine."
Deng Youning personally handed over the poisoned wine.
Deng Zheng didn't answer it. Being as cunning as a fox, he knew that this little bitch was here for no good purpose.
"Don't worry, since His Majesty has pardoned your death penalty, I will not poison you again."
"If you don't believe it..."
She raised her eyebrows, called over a jailer, and asked him to drink a cup.
Only after seeing that the jailer had no problem did Deng Zheng dare to drink the wine in front of him.
But as soon as he drank the wine, he felt his body burning as if it were on fire. He looked at Deng Youning with resentment in his eyes.
"Hehe, just because the wine isn't poisonous doesn't mean the cup isn't poisonous either!"
"My daughter knows that my father has always been cunning and cautious. Otherwise, how could you drink so obediently?"
"Since you have already drunk this wine, our father-daughter relationship will end from now on, and you will no longer have anything to do with the Zhenguo Mansion."
After he finished speaking, Deng Youning raised his foot and was about to leave.
When he reached the door, he reminded:
"This poison will take effect all the time. It changes every day. Today it is as hot as fire, and tomorrow it is as cold as ice."
The emperor said that life is worse than death!

The next morning, Jun Chenyi's carriage arrived at the Deng family as scheduled to pick up Deng Youning to find General Feng.
Deng Ren and Han Qiongyue were worried, so they asked Deng Yan'an to go along as well.
Upon learning that Deng Youning was also coming, Jun Wenying showed obvious surprise on his face and deliberately asked to ride in the same carriage with him.
The mountain where the Nanxin prisoners of war were housed was not far from Niujia Village.
We set out in the morning and arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain at noon.
"The people living in this village are all from Nanxin who hide their real names."
"There are prisoners of war from that year, and there are also ordinary people who fled here and were saved by my grandfather."
"This is the biggest secret of our Han family. Once this matter is known to others, the Han family will face a catastrophic disaster."
