Chapter 19 019: Shame (Part 2)
Shen Tang almost choked on the unswallowed tea.
"Ahem - So, this is the truth about the Gong family being confiscated and exterminated?" Looking at what Qi Shan said, Shen Tang felt that the Gong family was really not upright and innocent. "Knowing that Zheng Qiao You are a traitor and you want to return to the mountain without thinking that one day you will be retaliated by him? "
Not everyone in this world will repay kindness.
Zheng Qiao’s experience in Xin State was completely humiliating. At that time, he was weak and had to make concessions, but now he is the leader of the Geng Kingdom. Once he became prosperous and gained strength, the hatred in his heart was like a volcano erupting, and the black history became an existence that needed to be annihilated.
Qi Shan said: "Well, I don't know about that."
Shen Tang joked: "I thought sir knew everything."
Although it is a time travel that starts with hell difficulty, Qi Shan said Shan, the "guiding NPC", is very conscientious and has received five-star praise!
Qi Shan pretended to be surprised and said in a hypocritical manner: "I am honored to be so highly regarded by Mr. Shen Xiaolang."
Shen Tang: "..."
< br>
She couldn't compare to Qi Yuanliang in terms of face, so she lowered her head and ate tea tactically. Qi Shan secretly observed Shen Tang's reaction while drinking tea - he had always been curious about the relationship between Shen Xiaolangjun and the Gong family. Having just heard that the source of the Gong family's extermination came from Zheng Qiao's revenge, Shen Xiaolangjun felt neither indignation nor hatred, just calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
But how could this matter be irrelevant?
If Mr. Shen Xiaolang is ruthless, how could he run around on a rainy night for an idiot whom he only met once?
This person’s reaction was completely beyond common sense and logic.
Because the soldiers of the Geng Kingdom had not left yet, Shen Tang did not want to go out and attract attention at this time, so he asked the tea shop owner to add a pot of tea. The two continued to stay in the tea shop to kill time and inquire about the prison car. prisoner status.
The shop owner looked back timidly, peeked at the soldiers outside the tea shop, and whispered at the top of his voice: "It is said that he is the Censor Zhongcheng..."
Shen Tang murmured in confusion and looked at Qi Shan: "Censor Zhongcheng?"
Don’t blame her for being illiterate, as someone with amnesia really doesn’t know.
Qishan: "The store owner said that the surname of the imperial censor Zhongcheng is 'Tian'?"
"It seems to be 'Tian'? Those soldiers also cursed and cursed 'old man surnamed Tian', 'So what about Yu Shi Zhongcheng'" and so on. Not understanding these, not to mention these high officials, even the veterans guarding the city gate can easily kill ordinary people like them. He added a pot of tea to Shen Tang and sighed, "You two gentlemen, you better stop being curious, lest you Death! ”
When Xin and Geng went to war, the people of the two countries were most affected. The people of Geng were slightly better off, except that the taxes were half as heavy as before, which oppressed them to the point of being unable to breathe. However, they could not starve to death, while the people of Xin were miserable. .
The main battlefield between the two countries is in Xin State.
The people of the Xin State not only had to drain their blood to provide military supplies and food for the Xin State to fight, but they also had to face the burning, killing and looting of the Geng State soldiers.
I thought that after the war, I would be able to calm down for a while, but who knew that the leader of the Geng Kingdom adhered to the principle of "no loss to brothers" and allowed his subordinates who fought against him to do evil everywhere.
The people trembled when they saw the soldiers of the Geng Kingdom.
Seeing that the two husbands were good-looking, the shop owner couldn't help but give them a warning, lest the two young men lose their lives recklessly.
"Don't worry, store, we are sensible." Qishan smiled and accepted the store's kindness. When the store went to work elsewhere, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look, "Yu Shi Zhongcheng is The chief of Yushitai received the official seal and inspected all officials."
Shen Tang had a clear understanding: "So the imperial censor Zhongcheng impeached Zheng Qiao? He must have offended people quite a lot..."
Thinking of the powerful words just now, people can fully appreciate the language. How could Zheng Qiao let go of this artistic charm?
Qishan sighed: "It's not just as simple as offending..."
"What else did the Censor Zhongcheng surnamed Tian do?" "I heard that the Censor Zhongcheng has a very upright character. He is subject to the law and will not avoid anything. It doesn't matter whether you are a noble official or someone else, if he catches you, you will be caught. Since Zheng Qiao was impeached, Zheng Qiao would not be left out. The royal censor, Zhongcheng, was the favorite of the leader of the Xin Kingdom and was the most scolded among the officials. He once blocked Zheng Qiao's way to court with his horse and cursed him in front of the people. "
Shen Tang said: "Don't give me any face?"
Qishan: "I won't give it to you. After that, from the officials to the common people in the capital, who doesn't know how Zheng Qiao came to power? When Zheng Qiao returned to the country, the censor Zhongcheng was also the most fiercely opposed, asserting that if this was allowed When the son returns to the country, he will let the tiger return to the mountain, and the troubles will be endless, nineteen times in a row. The next memorial was to plead with the leader of the Xin Kingdom to execute Zheng Qiao."
After hearing this, Shen Tang already guessed the fate of Yushi Zhongcheng's family. She said: "Once Zheng Qiao turns over, Yushi Zhongcheng's family... No, The whole clan is having a hard time..."
After all, Gong helped Zheng Qiao, but he also ended up dead and dismissed, let alone Yushi Zhongcheng.
Qi Shan said: "It's not just that."
"Are there any other grievances?"
"Before Zheng Qiao returned to the country, Yu Shi Zhongcheng called on his disciples, disciples and families to serve as officials in the court. The clansmen of the Xin Kingdom petitioned the leader of the Xin Kingdom to execute Zheng Qiao, and the leader was once forced by pressure and... He also had objections to Zheng Qiao, who had murderous intentions..."
I heard that the imperial orders all wrote Okay, just wait to send it out.
It's just that Zheng Qiao got the information in advance by a clever move, almost eliminated the crisis, and fled back to Geng Kingdom overnight.
If he had received the news later, he would have been dead.
Shen Tang: "..."
What should I say?
“This story tells us that we must root out the weeds and take action in advance before the disease kills the patient to avoid long nights and dreams.”
Qishan's mouth twitched slightly as he listened to Shen Tang's serious "learn a lesson", but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Just as I took a sip of tea, I heard the prisoner's cries like blood coming from outside the teahouse, followed by the prisoner's tearful curse: "It's too much to bully people! It's too much to bully people! Zheng Qiao, you are such a low-priced sycophant, how dare you do this - how dare you!"
Shen Tang turned to look outside the tea shop.
"What happened again?"
Qi Shan stood up and walked to the door of the tea shop to ask in a low voice. After a while, he came back with a cold face and a chilling aura around him: "Zheng Qiao ordered The leader of the Xin Kingdom led his old ministers to formally surrender..."
Shen Tang was surprised: "I thought I had surrendered..."
"There is still a ceremony, Zheng Qiao values the most."
"But surrendering after losing, isn't this normal? ? The country of Xin has been destroyed. The overall situation has been decided, why did the prisoner react so emotionally? The prisoner was beaten to death but he didn’t beg for mercy or cry. He cried like this for such a certain thing..."
There must be one of them. Hidden story.
Qishan clenched his hands hanging by his sides, his throat rolled, and his voice trembled slightly. He closed his eyes tightly and then opened them again, and said calmly: "The national seal could not be found for a long time. Zheng Qiao was furious and forced the leader of the Xin Kingdom to give the Zen throne to his only queen..."
Shen Tang asked with his eyes: "Then?"
He was humiliated by changing his name to "Chongtai" and forced to give up his position to Wang Ji. Zheng Qiao is a fox and has a lot of tricks.
Qi Shan continued with a complicated expression: "...Then Wang Ji will perform the ceremony of binding the jade in front of her face, exposing her [body], and lead all the officials to surrender..."
Shen Tang: "..."
Face-tied and holding a jade means that the hands are tied behind the back and a jade is held in the mouth, as a surrender etiquette.
