Chapter 317 Faking Death and Escape



Upon hearing this, Zheng Guangzong was thrown into disarray.

Although he is young, he is not stupid.

Zheng Shuyu's words clearly showed that he didn't want to care about him anymore.

Zheng Guangzong's heart was filled with hatred, but his face showed the look of grievance as if he was crying.

"Dad, I'm your son!"

"My mother instigated me to do all this. She said that if I didn't do this, my grandparents and their entire family would die in Zhiyi City."

"You are going far away to take up the post. I grew up in my grandparents' home. I really can't bear to watch them die!"

"Dad, save me, I really know I was wrong."

Zheng Shuyu closed his eyes and said with pain: "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people."

"It's my fault that I didn't teach you well since you were little, so you made such a huge mistake.

...

...

Don't be afraid when you go down. Once your father digs the river embankment and lets the people of Dajing have water to drink, I will go down to accompany you. ”

When these words were spoken, everyone present was a little surprised.

Everyone thought that Zheng Shuyu would beg Xiao Jingzhou to spare Zheng Guangzong's life.

But I didn't expect that he would think of going down to accompany his son.

Zheng Guangzong also realized that no matter how much he begged the person in front of him, it would be of no avail.

His face was instantly filled with hatred.

"You old man, no wonder my mother doesn't like you."

"I've called you father for so many years, but you're not willing to save my life."

"You deserve my mother to be cuckolded by you."

"Damn turtle, green turtle!"

The harsher Zheng Guangzong cursed, the more ferocious his face became.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected such a thing to happen, and they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Zheng Shuyu's lips trembled: "You are not my son?"

Zheng Guangzong rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "How do you think I look like you?"

Zheng Shuyu shook his body and his breathing became rapid.

Xiao Jingzhou winked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen immediately understood, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two pills, and fed them into Zheng Shuyu's mouth.

After a long while, Zheng Shuyu finally sat down in the chair and came to his senses.

His voice was hoarse and his eyes were fixed on Zheng Guangzong.

"Whose son are you? Tell the truth!"

Zheng Guangzong thought that all the members of the He family had left Zhiyi City.

There are people waiting for us outside the city, and we will be back in the capital soon.

Without any worries, Zheng Guangzong started to take risks.

"I'm not your nerdy son."

"My father is the Minister of War."

Everyone's eyes turned to Wei Wenshan.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"When he was born, I had just passed the imperial examination."

"Besides, I'm leaving my beautiful wife behind and going..."

"Oh, I can't explain it to you!"

Wei Wenshan wanted to jump into the river to wash away the dirt on his body.

Shen Lan reminded appropriately: "There is more than one assistant minister of the Ministry of War, everyone should not hurt anyone by mistake."

Everyone looked at the two people's faces. Previously, they thought Zheng Shuyu was too dark, or the child looked like his mother, so they didn't speculate in this direction.

Now it seems that the two really have nothing in common.

Zheng Shuyu woke up instantly.

With shaking hands, he pointed at Zheng Guangzong: "Exactly the same!"

"No wonder she had such a big reaction when I named her Guangzong."

"I see."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted.

Assistant Minister of War, Li Zong!

Both of them have three white spots in their eyes. If they walk together, they look like they were cast in the same mold.

But Li Zong and He are cousins. If they get married, it would be a closer relationship.

Why would you do such a thing?

Zheng Guangzong's curses became more and more harsh.

Yang Jin couldn't help it and slapped him.

Zheng Guangzong was instantly enraged and raised his leg to kick Yang Jin, but Yang Jin broke his leg with the kick.

Screams filled the entire auditorium.

Chen Lan waved his hand and ordered his men to detain Zheng Guangzong for later punishment.

Xiao Jingzhou stood aside, watching without saying a word.

Zheng Shuyu whispered, "When the He family was looking for a son-in-law, He Niang was also gentle and considerate to me and took good care of me."

“Although the He family is a merchant family, they don’t have the smell of money.

They were unhappy with my decision to take up an official post in a foreign land, and could not bear to see He Niang suffer with me, so they left her in the capital. ”

"After three years of marriage, this is the first time that He Niang has come to see me."

“I didn’t expect… that she was pregnant and was worried about it being revealed.

He was afraid that after I returned to Beijing, I would sue the government and be punished. ”

Zheng Shuyu's eyes were hazy and he looked up at the beams under the roof.

He laughed at himself and said, "That bastard scolded me well. I am really a cuckold."

Zheng Shuyu slowly stood up, knelt in front of Gu Zhenbei, and kowtowed.

Xiao Jingzhou dismissed everyone and left only Zheng Shuyu.

He patted the coffin, and the person inside slowly opened his eyes and sat up.

"General Gu, you..."

He is not dead!

Zheng Shuyu widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.

He subconsciously covered his mouth, afraid that he would not be able to control the volume and shout out the news that Gu Zhenbei was still alive.

Gu Zhenbei said: "If it weren't for the gods' help, I would have been a guest of honor in the palace of Hades."

Zheng Shuyu looked guilty: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left that boy here. That's why such a big disaster happened."

There was one thing he was puzzled about.

"The government office has always been strict about entry and exit. How did they get in?"

Gu Zhenbei said: "This is not just your negligence."

Zheng Guangzong was too cunning. He lied that the clothes did not fit him and wanted Zhou Shuyun to help him alter them.

The clothes were made in a hurry, so it's normal that they don't fit.

Zhou Shuyun didn't think too much about it and took his measurements.

Zheng Guangzong started pretending to have a stomachache again and wanted to go to the toilet.

But the boy was just a grown-up, and it was inconvenient for Zhou Shuyun, a woman, to follow him, so she asked the servant to accompany him.

The servant was Wu Shili, who worked in the government office.

Gu Zhenbei is still frightened.

He said: “This boy is agile and meticulous.

It’s hard to imagine that he is actually a ten-year-old child. ”

Zheng Shuyu said: "Your Highness, I am also responsible for this matter and will receive the punishment I deserve.

Let Your Highness take care of the child.

No need to tell me again. ”

Zheng Shuyu thought: He didn't want to know whether the child was dead or alive. Just think of him as a coward.

When Zheng Shuyu was about to leave, he turned around and said, "I will keep General Gu's affairs a secret. I hope Your Highness can rest assured."

Zheng Shuyu walked towards the door of the auditorium, and Gu Zhenbei lay down again.

Zhou Shuyun walked into the auditorium, and Lu Chen followed closely behind her and closed the door.

"There are no outsiders here, get up."

Zhou Shuyun carried a black bag.

She took out a cotton pad and wiped the pale foundation off Gu Zhenbei's face.

She painted on Gu Zhenbei's face and body.

Soon, corpse spots appeared on Gu Zhenbei's face, neck, and the back of his hands.

Gu Zhenbei took the bronze mirror and looked left and right.

"Hey, it's just like the real thing."

"At first glance, it's really scary."

He said, "My mother will be frightened, but I cannot let her see me like this."

"Don't scare her."

Zhou Shuyun pinched him hard and said unhappily, "You don't need to tell me, I know what to do."

After working for half an hour, Zhou Shuyun left the auditorium, leaving the place for Gu Zhenbei and Xiao Jingzhou to chat.

Xiao Jingzhou said: "Uncle, you faked your death to get away this time.

He may never be able to restore his identity and Gu Zhenbei’s name will be permanently sealed. ”

"Don't you regret it?"
