Chapter 552: Straight to the Point
In Wu's opinion, when two people live together, they still need to find someone they can talk to.
The Shen family is a scholarly family. All the men and women in the family are well-read. If we just randomly match the children with a farming family, the chances of them not becoming a couple in the future are very small.
So when the matchmaker came to her house, she found an excuse to refuse.
There is no rush for the children's marriage at home. We need to take our time to find a suitable family.
What worried her most was Shen Qingxiao's marriage.
After the Chinese New Year she will be eighteen years old, and she can only stay for two more years at most, otherwise it will be difficult to say anything to her.
Shen Qingman, who returned home after the divorce, is already twenty years old. It is unknown whether she will remarry in the future, but as a mother, she always hopes that her children can have a happy family.
Well, let's go and see!
Sheng Ze told Liang Cheng what Shen Qingqian said. After discussing it, the two decided to investigate it first and then call Zhang Zhiyao and Zhang Dong.
Unexpectedly, this investigation took half a month.
That day, Liang Cheng sent someone to invite Zhang's father and son.
"Dad, what exactly did you call us here for?" Zhang Dong asked in a low voice as he approached Zhang Zhiyao.
Zhang Zhiyao was also thinking. When Liang Cheng let him go home, he clearly believed him. Why did he ask someone to call him and Zhang Dong only half a month later? Did he want to kill them to silence them?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Zhiyao broke out in a cold sweat on his back, but then he thought again, that's not right. Liang Cheng had clearly returned most of the government affairs in northern Hubei to him. If he wanted to kill someone to silence him, why would he bother to ask him to go over? This doesn't make sense.
"Don't say anything for a while," Zhang Zhiyao said, his face darkening as he suddenly thought of something. "It's very likely that the general will hold you accountable for that stupid thing you did earlier!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiyao felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. What sin had he committed?
Zhang Dong was completely confused, "What the hell is going on?"
"How do I know you haven't done enough bad things? Maybe one of them has violated the general's taboo!" Zhang Zhiyao glared at him unhappily.
It's also his fault for not educating his children well, allowing his mother and wife to indulge Zhang Dong, otherwise none of this would have happened today.
The two were quickly taken to Liang Cheng's office. Zhang Zhiyao glanced at Zhang Dong and tactfully did not salute Sheng Ze.
"Greetings, General. I wonder why you called me and my son here?" Zhang Zhiyao bowed and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Liang Cheng and Sheng Ze exchanged a glance and said straight to the point: "Master Zhang, do you still remember the incident of our army's granary being burned last year?"
Zhang Zhiyao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. "Of course I'll remember this."
Not only did he remember it, he was also worried that the incident would be known to others. Could it be that he called them here today because of that incident?
Liang Cheng didn't beat around the bush. "I heard that your son brought back a few refugees a few days ago. One of them even escaped from the Zhang Mansion before the granary fire."
"General" Zhang Zhiyao heard this, gritted his teeth, and knelt down directly, "General, it is my fault that I am useless. This is what happened..."
Zhang Zhiyao quickly recounted what happened last year, and then said, "General, please understand. We have absolutely no second thoughts. It was just that the matter was of great importance at the time, and in order to protect this rebellious son, I did not report the matter."
"General, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with my father. If you want to blame someone, please only blame me!" Zhang Dong also knelt on the ground.
Zhang Zhiyao's body shook, his hands on the ground clenched and unclenched, and in the end he said nothing more.
After an unknown amount of time, Liang Cheng suddenly spoke up, "When did this general ever say he would blame someone?"
