Chapter 274: Tradition of Killing Wife
A fully armed young man appeared out of nowhere, "Mother, I'm Wen Zhou. Please help me. I will never forget your kindness."
It was Jiang Wenzhou, he looked at the Marquis's wife eagerly, eyes full of admiration.
The Marquis's wife hesitated for a moment, after all, this was her most beloved son.
Yun Zheng chuckled. Rumu? This man is so hypocritical.
"Madam Hou, your son said that you should die. Only by dying can his ambition be fulfilled. He will pretend to remember you when he has time in the future."
"You are just a stepping stone on his road to success."
Jiang Wenzhou: ...Who taught you to translate like this?
Mrs. Hou: ...My heart feels so cold.
Jiang Wenzhou was extremely angry, and the enemies were extremely jealous of each other when they met.
"Shut up, this is my family affair, it's not your turn to tell me what to do."
He swore that once he took over the palace, the first thing he would do was to sacrifice Yun Zheng and make her live a life worse than death.
Yun Zheng said confidently, "Oh my, I was right. I'm so angry now."
She pointed at Jiang Wenzhou and said, "Everyone, look carefully. This man is called Jiang Wenzhou. He is the beast who persuaded my mother to die!"
Everyone in the audience looked at Jiang Wenzhou with different expressions, including surprise, contempt, disdain, and everything in between.
An unfilial person is destined to be unacceptable by the world.
Jiang Wenzhou was both ashamed and angry. "Yun Zheng, even if you have a huge grudge against my Jiang family, even if you hate and resent me, you can't slander me like this. It's too much."
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, bright and charming, as brilliant as stars.
Then she stabbed him lightly with a knife. "The men of the Jiang family are all heartless and ungrateful. Madam Hou, you should know this best."
The Marquis' wife was extremely upset. Yes, Jiang Zhen had run away with his two sons, leaving her in the capital as a target, with no regard for her life or death.
So why does she still defend them?
Her heart moved, "Please, His Majesty, pardon us mother and daughter."
The emperor said calmly, "If you can get Jiang Zhen to surrender, I will pardon you."
For him, the most important thing is to capture Jiang Zhen and quell the rebellion.
As for the rest, we will settle them slowly.
Madam Hou no longer hesitated, "Jiang Zhen..."
Just as he said this, a long arrow shot out from the darkness and hit the Marquis's back silently.
Yun Zheng glanced at it and her face changed drastically, "Madam Hou, be careful."
The marquis's wife turned around suddenly, her pupils dilated instantly, and the only thing in her eyes was the long arrow flying towards her.
She wanted to dodge, but her feet seemed frozen and she could not move. She could only watch the arrow shoot towards her.
Her mind went blank. It's over. My life is over!
At the critical moment, another long arrow shot over, and the two long arrows collided in the air, making a crisp sound, and fell in front of the Marquis's wife, only an inch away.
It's very dangerous.
The Marquis' wife felt as if she had been to the gates of hell. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and her legs went weak.
The emperor's face turned pale and shot from behind, indicating that there was a traitor.
"Catch someone."
The secret guard dodged and accurately pulled out the person hiding in the dark. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was a royal guard.
The guards trembled and kept explaining that it was a mistake.
The emperor was very angry, "Well, my palace has been infiltrated like a funnel."
"Come here, execute him in public as a warning to others."
The traitor was hung on the city wall and tortured to death in front of everyone.
The traitor was in excruciating pain, but couldn't die.
Looking at this bloody scene, some people couldn't help but vomit.
Yun Zheng also felt a little uncomfortable and looked away, staring at the rebels below the city wall.
The three Jiang family members, father and son, were all there, and Jiang Wenzhou and his brother stood on Jiang Zhen's left and right.
The people guarding them should be the Jiang family's servants and retainers.
Unexpectedly, these people moved from the light to the dark and lay dormant.
This is the Jiang family’s last trump card.
The emperor pointed at the bloody traitor with an extremely cold expression, "This is the fate of a traitor."
Everyone was shocked at once. People on the city wall turned pale and people below were terrified.
The Emperor's gaze fell on the Marquis's wife. "Who's next? What do you think, Madam?"
The Marquis’ wife was so frightened that she almost died of fear. “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you.”
She took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "Jiang Zhen, you killed your wife and children. You have no humanity and are worse than beasts."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.
Killing his wife and children?! This is the most serious accusation.
Jiang Zhen's face turned pale, "You're talking nonsense."
Since the Marquis's wife had spoken, she had no intention of hiding anything and spoke out in one go.
"As everyone knows, I am the second wife of Pingxi Hou Jiang Zhen. Jiang Wenzhou, Jiang Wenyun, and Jiang Wenyue are all my children."
"But before that, he had a first wife, the daughter of Marquis Changwu, and they had a son, the eldest son of the Marquis Pingxi."
"Back then, the Changwu Marquisate was caught up in the struggle for the throne, but it was soon defeated. Jiang Zhen was worried that the Yue family would be implicated, so he immediately poisoned his first wife and announced to the public that she had died of illness."
"When he personally poisoned his first wife, his eldest son hid under the bed and witnessed it all."
Everyone gasped in shock and disbelief.
"Oh my god, there is such a terrible inside story."
"This original wife and eldest son are so heartless and unfaithful. It's too miserable."
"If I remember correctly, he personally went to the house to ask for her hand in marriage. It took him a long time to finally marry her. It was a beautiful story at the time."
"What a wonderful story! They are attracted by the power of the Changwu Marquisate! Back then, the Changwu Marquisate was very prominent and powerful."
"This is horrible! How could such a shameless person be qualified to lead an uprising and force the emperor to abdicate?"
Even Jiang Zhen's soldiers were shaken. Is it still possible to have such a commander?
Who would be willing to follow a leader without humanity?
The faces of several illegitimate children turned pale. They had known that their biological father was a good-for-nothing, but they didn't expect him to be so inhumane.
Yun Zheng hadn't expected there to be such a hidden secret. Was this the Jiang family's tradition of killing wives?
Marry a useful wife, kill her when her value has been exhausted, then marry a new wife, have a bunch of children, and take advantage of everything.
Tsk tsk, the Jiang family has a crooked top and bottom beams.
Jiang Zhen was filled with hatred and shouted angrily, "You're lying! This is not the truth."
For someone who aspires to conquer the world, reputation is very important.
The people's hearts, popularity, and military morale are all based on a good reputation.
His mind raced as he came up with a plan. "The truth is, back then, my wife and I were in love, and it was you who seduced me and threw yourself into my arms."
"After you became pregnant, you used both soft and hard tactics to force me to marry you. You refused to be my mistress and insisted on being my principal wife. You even went to show off in front of my sick wife, which really pissed me off to death."
He paused, and did not mention the first wife anymore, cleverly directing all the criticism towards the Marquis's wife.
"After you came into the family, you regarded my eldest son as a thorn in your side, trying every way to torture him. You even deliberately named your own son Jiang Wenzhou, intending to replace him."
There was an uproar at the scene. Wow, every piece of information was shocking.
Wait a minute, the Jiang family’s second son is called Jiang Wenzhou, so what is the name of the eldest son?
