Chapter 189 Gaining a Brother
"General, the Minister of Justice, Lord Zhao, is here to visit. I have escorted Lord Zhao to the reception room. Would you like to go there immediately?"
The old butler thought to himself, is their general about to rise?
First, the sons of the Pang and Xie families came to visit, then the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and now even the Minister of the Ministry of Justice has come.
What the old butler didn't know was that there was also a Vice Minister of Justice in their general's study.
"You go and wait first. Don't neglect Lord Zhao. I will go later."
Chen Zhao knew why Lord Zhao came, but she was not anxious. It was Lord Zhao who should be anxious.
Qi Tian, the old emperor is so cruel. Who does he want to kill?
Zheng Shi's face looked a little ugly. If his immediate superior saw him in the General's Mansion, would he think that he came to investigate and steal the credit without his knowledge?
By that time, my body will be covered with mouths and I won’t be able to explain myself.
Zheng Shi was too late to worry. The reason why Lord Zhao rushed over in a panic was that a kind-hearted person told him that Zheng Shi had kidnapped General Chu as soon as the morning court was over.
Of course, this kind-hearted person did not invite Hu Zheng from Chu Mu.
Chen Zhao took out the black gold wooden box. The moment he opened it, Zheng Shi stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to take a peek openly. Wow, there were more than a dozen books in it.
Each of these books represents a minister in the court.
General Chu was so lucky that he could easily get the leverage over more than a dozen ministers without any effort.
Chen Zhao took out the booklet that recorded Zheng Shi's residence and handed it directly to Zheng Shidao:
"Just wait and see. Before you do, I'll just say one thing: don't do anything you'll regret later. Give them a taste of their own medicine."
Zheng Shidu understood that General Chu was teaching him how to act.
It always feels weird.
Who would dare to believe it if I told others that a legendary wooden lump was teaching a person who came from an imperial examination system how to act?
But he no longer believes the rumors. General Chu is not a blockhead at all, but is just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
The highest-end hunters often appear as prey.
This is referring to General Chu.
Zheng Shi took the booklet from Shen Zhao and held it in his hands excitedly.
When I opened the booklet and saw the date of the first record on it, I was stunned for a moment.
Then anger appeared on his face.
"this……"
"This... this is outrageous! This is outrageous... How could the teacher plot against me?"
Shen Zhao understood why Zheng Shi was so angry when he saw the first page.
Because what was written above was not about his two wives getting pregnant five years ago.
But earlier.
Zheng Shi was invited by his teacher to the Lu Mansion to celebrate his success in the imperial examination. He was not drunk that day but was drugged by the Lu family.
Of course, this medicine was prescribed by Doctor Li.
The more he looked down, the uglier Zheng Shi's expression became.
How could it not be ugly?
It also records that his current wife had an affair with her distant cousin before she got married.
And she secretly conceived and gave birth to a daughter.
In order to save face, the two families discussed marriage in private, but before Lu Wanting got married, her cousin's family suddenly fell into poverty, and the Lu family immediately cancelled the engagement.
Just when Zheng Shi, the unlucky one, was ranked second in the imperial examination, the Lu family designed a plot in which she got drunk and ruined her reputation.
Lu Wanting was forced upon Zheng Shi, and Zheng Shi's original wife was also squeezed out.
What is recorded next will drive Zheng Shi even more crazy.
Zheng Shi gasped for breath and sat down on the chair behind him.
His eyes were about to burst out.
"That bitch Lu Wanting wasn't pregnant at all! This was all a trap set up by the Lu family against Yunniang.
The bitch was injured when she gave birth to her cousin's daughter, so it is impossible for her to have children again.
In order to secure her position as the principal wife, she pretended to be pregnant when she and Yunniang were about to give birth.
They designed to frame Yunniang. Bitch, these bitches from the Lu family, they bullied me, humiliated me and ruined half of my life.
I am sorry to Yunniang."
Under Shen Zhao's surprised gaze, Zheng Shi raised his hand and slapped himself hard in the face.
The blow was so heavy and brutal that blood started flowing from the corner of his mouth and his cheek swelled up instantly.
"Lord Zheng, please be patient and continue reading." He might end up slapping himself even harder.
Zheng Shi suppressed his murderous rage and continued watching.
With a "bang", Zheng Shi slammed the table beside him hard.
Ever since Lu Wanting married into the Zheng family, the power to manage the family fell into her hands.
He had never asked about the public money in the mansion, but he didn't expect that this bitch would use his Zheng Shi's money to help her old lover and cousin.
He even brought their daughter into his house to raise her.
A year ago, Lu Wanting had a little maid of four or five years old by her side.
He was still wondering how he could buy such a small girl from a human trafficker.
Lu Wanting said that she felt sorry for the little girl, who was about the same age as Hao'er, so she bought her from the human trafficker out of pity.
Now that I think about it, the little maidservant was bought into the mansion by Lu Wanting and was not registered as a slave. Even her food, clothing and other expenses were based on Hao'er's standards.
Moreover, Lu Wanting often lets that little girl accompany Hao'er. What a Lu Wanting! Not only does she bring harm to him, she also brings harm to Hao'er, who is his and Yunniang's lover.
Shen Zhao looked at Zheng Shi, who was on the verge of rage, and gave him a sympathetic look.
They were a loving couple, but not only were they separated by someone, but the woman was also forced to support her lover and children.
Zheng Shi suddenly stood up from his chair. He wanted to go back home immediately to find Yunniang and show her the booklet.
He was designed by someone.
He killed that bitch Lu Wanting with his own hands.
"General Chu, may I take this booklet with me?" Zheng Shi was afraid General Chu would disagree, so he promised, "General, don't worry. I will remember your kindness and will not do anything ungrateful. I want to take the booklet back to show Yunniang. I will return it immediately after she finishes reading it."
Chen Zhao stood up and said, "It's okay, you can take it. You don't need to return the booklet. I think Lord Zheng will need it. After all, it is physical evidence."
Zheng Shi suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Zhao in surprise.
If this booklet remained in General Chu's hands, he could have used it to control him.
Now that General Chu wanted to give him this booklet, how could he not be surprised?
He thought about using this booklet to sue the Lu family, but he knew that once the booklet was presented as evidence in court, General Chu would lose the leverage he had over him.
So he didn't dare to think about it, he just wanted to take it step by step to seek justice for himself and Yunniang.
"General Chu..."
Shen Zhao walked up to Zheng and said, "Why do you think that I am such a scheming person in Master Zheng's mind? Do I have to control you?
While it's still early, Lord Zheng can go back home and write a complaint against the Lu family, seeking justice for Madam Zheng and yourself."
Zheng Shi smiled with relief. He was narrow-minded.
How can a person who dares to give up everything for the soldiers in the army be a person full of calculations?
"Thank you, General Chu. If you need me in the future, please feel free to ask me. Zheng Shi will never refuse."
"Brother Zheng, you are older than me. If you like, you can call me Brother Chu. You know that although I may seem glamorous as a general, I am actually struggling in Kyoto City. I have very few close friends. If you don't mind, we can call each other brothers."
Shen Zhao spoke sincerely, and Zheng Shi was deeply moved.
"Brother Chu!" He recognized this brother and protected Zheng Shi's younger brother.
Chen Zhao looked at Zheng Shi. This guy didn't need to be suppressed or manipulated in order to be willing to be used by you.
Sometimes sincerity for sincerity is more useful than anything else.
"Brother, will you return home first, or come with me to meet Lord Zhao?"
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
