Gu Zhenbei said in a loud voice: "No regrets!"
When he learned that the Da Jing Dynasty had only existed for forty years.
Not only his family lives on this land, but also millions of Dajing people.
No matter if it means making him climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of fire.
He has no regrets.
Gu Zhenbei said: "I was lucky enough to have this life, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"
After the murderer was caught, Gu Zhenbei's "body" was burned to ashes.
The ashes were not buried, and the public was told that they were returning to their homeland.
I want to bury his ashes in the capital.
When the ashes were being refined, the people of Zhiyi City rushed to see him off for the last time.
...
...
On the road leading from the government office to the incinerator, people knelt on the ground on both sides of the road.
Gu Shijie was wearing a sackcloth robe and walked in front, carrying the coffin.
The people were sobbing, and even the naughty children, sensing the atmosphere around them, began to cry.
Little did they know that Gu Zhenbei took the opportunity to sneak out of the city with Lu Feng on the eve of the burning.
Two days later, Wu Shili died from the torture.
Lu Chen rushed to the government office's meeting hall to report.
"It's really a bargain for him!"
"If I had known this, I would have prayed to the gods to give me a bottle of holy water. I will keep him alive while I chop him into pieces."
Yang Jin got angry when he mentioned it, and couldn't help but pat his chest to calm himself down.
Qian Wuyou said: "The gods are pure and holy, they must not be tainted by the filth of the world for such people."
Yang Jin was suddenly awakened, and he scratched his neck in embarrassment.
"Master Qian is really thoughtful."
Xiao Jingzhou sat in the first seat: "Did Wu Shili leave any instructions before he died?"
Lu Chen said: "It turned out that the truth was revealed during the interrogation."
"When the enemy attacked Zhiyi City, he stole a horse from the stable during the chaos and secretly gave it to Zhang Da.
Rush to the nearest post station and send the message back to the capital. ”
Yang Jin slammed the table hard: "So he was the one who informed on me!"
"He was the one who recruited Eunuch Wang and Zhang Da."
"Whip the corpse! Take it out and whip the corpse!"
He was so angry!
If it weren't for Wu Shili, there would be no need to hide the imperial edict and live in constant fear.
Just follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and don't worry about anything.
"He got it easy for this dog to kill him!"
After Yang Jin finished cursing, he picked up the tea beside him and poured it into his mouth.
“Hot, hot, hot…”
The pain was so severe that he could hardly speak clearly.
Xiao Jingzhou saw that there was an empty seat. The seat that originally belonged to Gu Zhenbei was now occupied by Shen Lan.
He asked, "Where is Lord Zheng?"
Lu Chen said: "On the day when General Gu 'burned' his ashes, Lord Zheng rushed to the riverbank.
Apparently, he wanted to atone for his sins. ”
Xiao Jingzhou instructed: "Send two more people to protect him. Don't let him get upset or get hurt."
Zheng Shuyu is not a stupid person. Since he knows that Gu Zhenbei is alive, he will not seek death.
He was worried that Zheng Shuyu would work hard to atone for his sins.
People who are getting older and have experienced a lot of ups and downs can't stand too much hardship.
Lu Chen quickly responded: "Yes."
Shen Lan interrupted at the right time: "Zheng Guangzong. No, what did Li Guangzong say?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "When he saw the He family, he went crazy."
"If you don't ask him questions, he will confess everything."
"In fact, he is not ten years old, but sixteen years old."
Yang Jin stood up and exclaimed, "Sixteen?"
"Lu Chen, did you hear me correctly?"
There was shock in everyone's eyes.
Shen Lan said: "It's strange, this child doesn't look like he's sixteen.
She looks like a ten-year-old child. Besides, didn’t He Niang leave the capital to look for Lord Zheng after being married for three years?
Where is the child? ”
When Zheng Guangzong was assassinated, there was indeed someone from the He family who assisted him.
However, the person who was supposed to meet them, when he saw someone catching up with them, simply abandoned the He family.
Lu Feng also captured the leader of the contact, who turned out to be someone sent by Li Zong.
The He family members had just been arrested, but they still refused to acknowledge their identities.
He clamored to see Zheng Shuyu.
After Zheng Shuyu went to the dungeon, all the members of the He family became obedient.
Lu Chen finally found a clue and explained the whole story to everyone.
"Mrs. He is six years older than Mr. Zheng, so it is clear that they are the older wife and younger husband.
At that time, Mr. Zheng was very poor, and after graduating from high school, he had to take care of a blind widowed mother. ”
Zheng Shuyu originally thought that by becoming an official, he could give his widowed mother a good life.
However, he offended high-ranking officials and was unable to enter the officialdom.
His family had no money, and his widowed mother fell ill in the winter.
Zheng Shuyu wanted to buy things on credit at the clinic, and was targeted by the He family.
After getting married, his widowed mother became ill for a long time and died.
Zheng Shuyu mourned for him for three years.
Three years later, there was severe flooding in the south and the people suffered terribly.
The emperor sent him to build river embankments to help the people of Dajing solve the flood problem.
Before getting married, He Niang was entangled with Li Zong.
It was because Li Zong's wife was the concubine's daughter of the Zhang family. She was spoiled and willful and would not tolerate taking a concubine.
Three years into Zheng Shuyu's disaster relief work, He Niang found out she was pregnant.
She was worried that the truth would be exposed and bring disaster to the He family, so she thought of just drinking a bowl of medicine and being done with it.
But she didn't expect to be stopped by He's brother and sister-in-law, who also gave her some advice.
Let her go find Zheng Shuyu who can cure the disaster.
After staying for a month, He Niang found out that she was pregnant, and she bribed the doctor to lie about the month of pregnancy.
During the third month of pregnancy, it was extremely hot in the south and He Niang just vomited and refused to eat.
Zheng Shuyu felt sorry for him and ordered people to look for fashionable and delicious snacks everywhere.
He Niang was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she threatened to return to the capital and even threatened to jump into the river.
Zheng Shuyu had no choice but to put several layers of cushions in the carriage and add another layer of soft quilt before ordering people to send He Niang back to Beijing.
"What about the child?" Yang Jin asked curiously.
Lu Chen said: "The child will be born as an incomplete person."
"Six fingers, missing legs."
"He didn't cry when he was born, and he died within an incense stick of time."
After He Niang gave birth to a monster, the He family was afraid that Li Zong would blame them, so they kept the matter a secret.
He only told Li Zong that the child was weak when he was born, and the whole family had tried their best to save him but failed, so they found a Feng Shui good place to bury him.
For this reason, Li Zong treated He Niang even more compassionately, sent her many supplements, and also found a job for He's brother.
Li Guangzong was the child of He Niang and Li Zong who had an affair out of wedlock. He was diagnosed with a disease when he was three years old and grew slower than an average person. He was raised on the farm.
When Zheng Shuyu returned to Beijing after three years, the He family took the 9-year-old Li Guangzong home.
Li Guangzong grew slowly and at the age of 9 looked about the same height as a 5-year-old child.
Zheng Shuyu had been away from home for three years and had no idea that his child had died long ago, and he had no experience in raising children.
When he saw Li Guangzong's height, he would not feel strange. He would just think that the three-year-old "Guangzong" grew faster and taller than ordinary people.
Zheng Shuyu had been in Beijing for only half a year when he was sent out of the capital to build a river embankment. He also took his third brother of the He family with him, which led to the corruption case.
But when Li Guangzong was twelve years old, he stopped growing taller.
He was hidden in the backyard of the He family and was not allowed to go out. The only people around him were He Niang, his grandparents, and a nanny who served him.
Li Guangzong was not even allowed to meet He's brother and sister-in-law a few times.
If the He family had not planned to come to Zhiyi City this time, Zheng Shuyu would not have discovered the dirty things that happened back then.
After hearing this, everyone present felt a bit confused.
There was a feeling of rage stuck in my chest, which I couldn't spit out or swallow.
Yang Jin said: "Poor Lord Zheng, I'm afraid he is still kept in the dark."
During the confrontation that day, Zheng Shuyu just thought that it was He Niang who cheated on him.
Little did they know that all this was part of the He family's plan.
Shen Lan said: "Li Zong may have contributed to the situation."
“Without him, things wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as they did.”
Yang Jin: "Bah! Not a man!"
"He didn't even dare to recognize his own child, and yet he caused all this trouble and implicated so many people."
Qi Hou looked at Xiao Jingzhou and said, "Your Highness, should I tell Lord Zheng about this?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall of the government office suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
