Chapter 136: The Zheng Family Army Case 1 ends here
The ministers who had been arguing in the room just now were all stunned. What was going on?
Then the emperor walked up with Gu Qingyun and the hostage.
Perhaps he had a special emotional connection with the hostage. As soon as the hostage stepped forward, General Zheng shouted like crazy, "Rebellious son, you rebellious son, how dare you betray me."
The proton stood there, smiling gently and distantly, "General Zheng, haven't you always known? I'm not your biological son. As for who my father is? Don't you know it very well? What are you pretending at this moment?"
Clearly, the words were filled with righteous indignation, but after they were spoken, there seemed to be no ripples and the calm tone did not change at all.
General Zheng's eyes were about to bleed as he stared at the proton with bloodshot eyes. The snow was covered with red icicles.
The emperor looked down at him, "Are you done yet? You clown."
Perhaps it was the natural sense of oppression that comes with being a king, this time, General Zheng did not refute.
But I felt a chill in my heart. Was it just because of Zheng Ran? How could it be possible? How could he know so many details?
General Zheng thought, he hadn't even brought the children out yet, and hadn't forced the emperor to abdicate, so how could he have failed?
"General Zheng, your methods are too crude. They look like a scheme set up by someone who has never been to school. You don't need to think about it in detail. You will know it after just one look." Proton's voice seemed to penetrate the ice, making General Zheng feel ironic again and again.
The Saintess of the Heaven and Earth Sect was kneeling there, neither crying nor laughing. But when she saw Gu Qingyun's face clearly, she suddenly screamed, "It's you, it's you, I've seen you!"
Gu Qingyun was stunned. How had he seen it before? Wasn’t it always hidden very secretly?
"I saw your eyes once, penetrating the woods. They were such deep eyes. Ahhhhhh!" the saint burst into a scream.
If this was successful, she would be the queen who would rule the country as promised by General Zheng.
But now, she was just a little bit away from ascending the throne, but things turned out like this.
General Zheng was immediately shocked when he heard the Saint's confusing words. "You mean, you have seen him?"
Gu Qingyun, the famous Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was targeted by him like a fish by a cat.
It's not about how powerful he is, but about his persistence.
The ministers were standing not far away and could only vaguely hear some of what was said. They all lowered their heads and dared not speak. The hostage and the Shaoqing had made such great contributions, and they would definitely be rewarded a lot after this matter was over. They didn't want to be the first one to be beaten.
Many people also mourned silently when they saw Lord Li and others who had been so tough just now.
"Haha, they have been eyeing us for a long time, why didn't they capture us on the spot?" General Zheng was completely mentally broken at this point. He had been planning this for four whole years, even before General Zheng retired. No one knew how such a big mistake could have happened.
But all this made him feel like a joke.
"As for a turtle, we have to wait a while before catching it." The hostage's cold sarcasm always irritated General Zheng, but no matter how hard he shouted, he and the hostage were already people from two different worlds at this moment.
It was cold outside, and everyone was tired of the yelling and shouting on their knees, so they just asked someone to take them away.
In fact, looking back now, the case did not seem so confusing when I looked at it with the answer in mind. But as I peeled away the fog layer by layer, I still had deep doubts.
Gu Qingyun was really relieved this time. The case was handed over to the Dali Temple and the royal family for trial, and the prince was sent to support them. What they had to do next was to find the children who had been sold.
I can finally spend this New Year with peace of mind.
After the incident, An Qiao found out why she couldn't go out on the street. The little girls in the restaurant also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they were obedient.
Although the restaurant did not suffer any losses, Zheng's army still killed many people in the city in order to establish its authority. Some did not kneel to him, some ran around, and some did not respect him...
Anyway, there are thousands of reasons to kill people. Although the ground is not flooded with blood, there are dead bodies lying everywhere.
The palace was unscathed, but the people still suffered.
On the third day after the incident, the court gave burial expenses. The money was not much, but it did not arouse public anger.
The enthusiasm for celebrating the New Year was dampened at this moment. Because of the continuous snowstorm, no one was in a good mood.
I finally got some time to do some activities and go out for a walk, but something unexpected happened.
On the fourth day after the incident, Kyoto Prefecture experienced a heavy snowfall that had not been seen in decades. When An Qiao got up, she was stunned to see the snow outside the courtyard gate that was already more than half a person's height.
Kyoto Prefecture is not located very far north, and can even be considered as the central plains. Such heavy snow is indeed not seen once in decades.
People were already in a panic and few diners went out, so An Qiao simply closed all three stores and everyone stayed in the restaurants.
In the first few days, everyone was quite happy. Some played chess, some cooked... Zhao Hengzhi did not give up and went winter fishing for a few days.
But after a few days, maybe because we had tried everything, or maybe because the weekdays were too fulfilling for too long, everyone became bored.
Since there was nothing to do anyway, An Qiao always lay lazily in bed until noon before getting up.
Suddenly thinking of something, An Qiao said, "Let's make kimchi together today."
Everyone nodded, and Zhao Hengzhi frowned and said, "That thing has a strong smell. If I touch it, what should I do if the cakes I make have that smell in the future?"
After getting to know him for a while, An Qiao discovered that this young master had a strange temper, but was not bad. He just often acted in a sarcastic and hypocritical manner.
"No, I have soap, you can just use it to wash." Due to several major events that happened one after another, An Qiao had no time to promote the soap to the market and closed the shop.
"You're promoting your soap again." Zhao Hengzhi said with a smile on his face.
"Don't use it if it doesn't work." An Qiao retorted unhappily.
Zhao Hengzhi shut up again. This soap was indeed very useful. If he could get the source of this supply, he wondered how much money he could make.
Forget it. I don’t want to go back to that home anyway, so it’s fine to just work here for the rest of my life.
After lunch, everyone went to work together in a lively manner.
Some were washing vegetables, some were preparing ingredients, and An Qiao even asked a few boys to bring out some big jars to fill with marinating ingredients.
"My dear, are you going to pickle all our vegetables?" Qiufen was confused and doubtful.
"About half, there's still a lot left." An Qiao answered casually.
Qiufen only felt that his eyes went dark, so many...
Everyone was amused by her, An Qiao also laughed. Qiufen always looked like a cute and naive little girl, which was pleasing but not annoying.
