Stop at Yicheng.
“I’m back!”
"Master Zheng has returned to the city!"
"Open the city gate quickly!"
When Qi Hou heard that Zheng Shuyu had returned to the city, he immediately rushed to the city gate to greet him.
The city gate opened and Zheng Shuyu returned on horseback, surrounded by dust.
Qi Hou hurried over to hold the horse reins: "Master Zheng, you are back."
With the help of the soldiers, Zheng Shuyu slowly dismounted from his horse.
The first thing he said after getting off his horse was, "I received a letter from General Gu and rushed back to Zhiyi City overnight.
Deputy General Qi, I wonder where the He family is now? ”
...
...
Zheng Shuyu looked calm and Qi Hou had no idea what he was thinking.
Qi Hou said truthfully: "General Gu sent people to protect their safety and placed them in a house in West Lane.
Lord Zheng must be exhausted from the journey. After he has washed up, I will ask someone to lead the way for him. ”
Zheng Shuyu waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Deputy General Qi. You have seen me when I was even more destitute.
That doesn't have to be the case. ”
Qi Hou was speechless. He had no reason to stop Zheng Shuyu from going to see his wife and children.
"I will take Master Zheng there right away."
"Thank you."
Just as the two took a few steps, someone started chasing after them.
"etc!"
"Master Zheng is strolling!"
Wei Wenshan was running out of breath and pulled Zheng Shuyu's sleeve, trying to pull him aside.
He said, "Master Zheng, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
Zheng Shuyu pulled back his sleeve with force, his tone full of coldness.
He said, "Minister Wei, there is no need to be so harsh. Just speak frankly."
Wei Wenshan gave Qi Hou a wink.
Qi Hou immediately understood.
At the command.
The surrounding soldiers turned their backs and took three steps forward, keeping a distance from the three of them.
Wei Wenshan looked around and whispered, "Master Zheng, do you know why you were exiled?"
Zheng Shuyu still had a sullen face.
Wei Wenshan did not beat around the bush and directly blurted out the drunken words of the Minister of War, like pouring out beans.
Qi Hou's eyes widened like a donkey's, as if he had heard some shocking news.
After Wei Wenshan finished speaking, Zheng Shuyu's expression remained unchanged, and he even glanced at him silently.
Wei Wenshan was anxious.
He shook Zheng Shuyu's hand.
"Sir Zheng, He Chengye is your brother-in-law!
You almost died at the hands of your own family, haven't you learned your lesson? ”
Hearing this, Zheng Shuyu's expression changed slightly.
He sighed and said, "Do you know why His Majesty changed the verdict?"
The two of them looked at Zheng Shuyu, wanting to know why?
Zheng Shuyu said: "He Chengye has already taken refuge with Uncle Zhang.
The third prince embezzled funds for repairing the river embankment.
After the matter was exposed, He Chengye switched the account books just to make me take the blame for the Third Prince. ”
Wei Wenshan was surprised: "Since you know, why...?"
"Why do you have to confess?" Zheng Shuyu sneered.
He looked up at the sky and said, "Uncle Zhang promised me that he would spare the lives of his wife and children."
Zheng Shuyu shed a tear: "I have no choice at all."
Since he was bound to bear the blame, it was not easy to save both of them.
Wei Wenshan didn't know what to say now.
Things are too complicated and he hasn't sorted them out yet.
Qi Hou asked, "Master Zheng, what are you going to do?"
Zheng Shuyu wiped his face and returned to his normal expression.
He said: "The He family has come all the way to Zhiyi City and they must have some purpose.
My wife has been indulging her brother-in-law for a long time.
Without her help, He Chengye would not have been able to successfully switch the account books. ”
"My relationship with her ended when I wrote the divorce letter.
Thinking of the hard work she put in to send Guangzong to the north.
Just give some food and let the He family leave Zhiyi City. ”
The three of them came to the yard in West Lane.
There were heavy guards outside the door, and the people inside were cursing.
"How dare you stop me?"
"Do you know who my brother-in-law is?"
"Zheng Shuyu!"
"You have offended our He family, and you will be in trouble when he comes back!"
Zheng Shuyu walked into the room with a livid face, and He Chengye rushed up to him.
He hugged Zheng Shuyu's thighs and cried bitterly.
"Brother-in-law, please save the He family!"
"I was wronged at first!"
"Uncle Zhang kidnapped me and asked my sister to steal the account book to redeem me.
If I had known that this would cause my brother-in-law to be exiled, I would never have let my sister do this even if I were beaten to death! ”
The old couple of the He family stood aside, their eyes full of heartache and helplessness.
Mr. He said: "Son-in-law, it is the He family that has let you down. But Guangzong is a descendant of the Zheng family, so you have to consider him more.
Chengye is a disappointing person.
While we are taking care of Guangzong, why don’t you also help the He family? ”
Wei Wenshan and Qi Hou looked at each other.
Neither of them expected He Chengye to be such a good actor.
Qi Hou winked at the soldiers and He Chengye was pulled away.
Zheng Shuyu glanced at He: "Do you have anything to say?"
When He saw him, her eyes turned red, but in the end she said nothing and just shook her head silently.
Zheng Shuyu closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, I promised you to take the blame and leave Emperor Guangzong to your care.
Now that I am taking Guangzong away, do you have any objection? ”
The second half of the sentence was spoken by Zheng Shuyu to He.
He just shook her head and pushed Zheng Guangzong to the front.
"You can take it with you."
Zheng Shuyu took the person away, and He Chengye could no longer sit still.
He tried his best to snatch Guangzong back, but was kicked over by Qi Hou and flew several meters away.
He Chengye lay curled up on the ground with a look of pain on his face, watching Guangzong walk away.
Zheng Guangzong held Zheng Shuyu's hand.
He blinked his big eyes and asked innocently, "Dad, will I live with you in the future?"
"Where are mother and grandmother? Don't they live with us?"
Zheng Shuyu said calmly, "Yes, we don't live together."
Zheng Guangzong wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he said nothing.
He touched his arm and felt the pain still there.
…
Xiao Jingzhou always kept Jiang Zhenyu's dream in his heart.
When he returned to Zhiyi City, he left a batch of explosives for Yuanfeng, and also left a batch of explosives for the soldiers who were digging the riverbed while passing by.
When the old soldier smiled and told him, "Lord Zheng's wife and children came to Zhiyi City," he was so happy that he didn't sleep a wink and packed his bag and rushed back overnight.
When Xiao Jingzhou learned that Zheng Shuyu had returned to Zhiyi City, he felt vaguely uneasy.
He walked quickly to where the horse was tied, untied the rope, and climbed on the horse.
"Hurry back to Zhiyi City!"
The soldiers who followed Xiao Jingzhou received the order, and the sound of horse hooves came from near and far.
The group worked day and night, using the space to let the horses rest.
After two days and two nights of traveling, they finally arrived at the city of Zhiyi.
Lu Chen urged his horse to take a few steps forward when he saw the city gate slowly opening.
Before they enter the city.
A group of people rushed out of the city.
In a hurry, split it into two.
A group of people ran towards the capital.
A group of people rushed in the original direction.
When Xiao Jingzhou saw Qi Hou riding his horse towards Yuanfeng, his brows slightly frowned.
Suddenly, he heard Lu Chen yelling, "Brother! Where are you going?"
When the two teams heard the figure, they immediately ran towards Xiao Jingzhou.
The moment Lu Feng saw Xiao Jingzhou, his face turned pale.
He said: "Your Highness, General Gu has been assassinated!"
