Chapter 254 This feud is deep
Qin Tiannan was originally a sinister villain. Seeing that Zheng Shixian planned to sacrifice him to protect his official reputation, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
He quickly sat up from the ground and hid next to the censor. He said, "Master censor, this matter has nothing to do with me. It was all done by Zheng Shi first. He told me at the beginning who was disobedient. Just kill her, otherwise I wouldn't be so bold as to beat her husband and father-in-law to death!"
"Master Censor, don't listen to him. This is all his own actions and has nothing to do with me! Everyone knows how I behave in Zhongyuan City. I am a good official in everyone's mouth!" Zheng Shixian shouted anxiously.
Qin Tiannan immediately started arguing with him.
The two of them quarreled directly in front of the censor in front of everyone, both wanting to put the blame on the other.
Gu Chan couldn't stop laughing when she saw it. She had an intuition that these two people were just like dogs biting dogs. It was like this. They didn't want to deal with the problem at hand, but they were just shirking their responsibilities. From this, it can be seen that the two people's character Not great.
The censor was angry, and interrupted the two of them with his hand. He glared at Zheng Shixian and shouted angrily, "Master Zheng, you can handle this matter! I don't have time to stay here anymore, so I will go on my way first. If you can handle it well, Forget it, if we don't handle it well, I will report it to the Emperor when we get to Kyoto, and you can take care of it."
After saying that, the censor turned around and got into the first carriage, and then waved to the coachman to drive away.
Gu Chan still stood and watched with everyone.
At this time, Ding Sheng hurriedly whispered in her ear, "What are you looking for after leaving? Don't you see? The Censor has already given him face, and to put it bluntly, as the Censor, he came to Zhongyuan City. If you don’t want to get involved in these troubles, then stop causing trouble for him here.”
"So the officials are still protecting each other?" Gu Chan said coldly.
"You are young, and you cannot understand many things in the officialdom. The Zheng family has a lot of influence in Zhongyuan City. If Zheng Shixian becomes the county magistrate of Zhongyuan City, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages for the entire hinterland of the Central Plains. Do you understand? "Ding Sheng explained in a low voice, explaining the truth clearly.
Gu Chan sighed, and then said to the middle-aged woman, "Sister, let's leave first. Don't worry! With the order of Master Yushi, Master Zheng will not dare to embarrass you. This matter will be handled for you. , otherwise if you really go to the Emperor of Kyoto, his fate will be worse than yours."
"Thank you, little brother." The middle-aged woman thanked her sincerely.
Gu Chan waved her hand carelessly.
Then she didn't say anything more, and immediately got into the third carriage with Ding Sheng and left slowly.
"ah……"
They had just walked forward when Qin Tiannan's screams rang out from behind.
In order to preserve his official reputation, Zheng Shixian was so ruthless that he stabbed his brother-in-law to death on the spot.
The audience around them clapped their hands and applauded, feeling very happy.
Zheng Shixian put away the bloody long knife and said to the middle-aged woman, "Now that your husband and father-in-law have been avenged, I will still give you the compensation of ten thousand taels of silver. When I come back, I will give you six acres of land." Return it to you, are you satisfied with this treatment?"
"I am satisfied that Mr. Zheng can exterminate his relatives with justice and give justice to the women of the country." The middle-aged woman said softly.
Zheng Shixian didn't waste any time. He took out the stack of banknotes from his sleeve and forced it into her hand. Then he called two passers-by and gave them some money to help take Qin Tiannan's body back to Qin City in the Central Plains. Home.
After doing this, he got on the carriage and chased the censor and others in front.
The people watching the excitement on the official road also dispersed and went their separate ways.
A farce ended like this with Zheng Shixian's righteous killing of relatives. Sitting in the carriage, Zheng Shixian wiped the blood on the long knife, gritted his teeth and murmured to himself, "Gu Chan, you little bastard, just wait for me. When we get to Kyoto, I will slowly find a way to deal with you. This I will definitely put you to death and let you die without a burial place.”
After saying that, Zheng Shixian's expression instantly became extremely gloomy.
He said without hesitation that at this moment, he really hated Gu Chan to the point of death.
After this incident, Gu Chan and Zheng Shixian didn't say a word for more than ten days on the road.
It wasn't until that night that I arrived at a post station ten miles away from Kyoto. Just as Gu Chan and the censor were sitting in the lobby downstairs eating dinner, Zheng Shixian came over and said, "Master censor, I have something to do here." The memorial for the border war has to be submitted to the Ministry of War, so I took the first step."
"It's not too late to leave after dinner!" the censor said.
"If you don't want to eat, go and submit the discount earlier so that the emperor won't worry about the border war." Zheng Shixian said with a smile.
When the censor saw this, he no longer stopped him and waved his hand to let him go first.
After he left, Gu Chancai sneered and said, "Master Yushi, I don't think he has any good intentions. He probably wants to go to Kyoto first and then find a way to deal with me in advance!"
"Why did you provoke him? He seemed to want to deal with you from the beginning." The censor said curiously.
Gu Chan chuckled, "He asked me to help him chase Mr. Liu's granddaughter before, but I didn't do what he wanted, so he has a grudge against me!"
"You are still too young, and you don't know how to look forward and backward in many things. It won't do you any good to make enemies of yourself like this. It's better to be smarter in the future, so as not to fall into the hands of others one day." The censor said kindly. reminder said.
"What day? Whether we can go back alive this time is still unknown!" Gu Chan said with a wry smile.
The censor smiled lightly and shook his head.
At this time, Ding Sheng changed the topic and said, "By the way, Mr. Yushi, I have a question that I have wanted to ask for a long time. Now that it has come to the feet of the emperor, I wonder if I can ask it."
"But it doesn't matter." The censor said nonchalantly.
"You shouldn't have been an official in the court before! I guess this post of censor was just given by the emperor casually, right?" Ding Sheng finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
You must know that from the time when the censor first arrived at the county government office in Zhongyuan City to meet them, his behavior was completely different from that of the official officials in the DPRK.
Coupled with the ten days of contact during the journey, he was even more certain of this.
Gu Chan also stared at the censor, very curious.
The censor was silent for a moment, then confessed to the two of them, "Yes, I am indeed not an official of the imperial court. I am Renfeng, a secret agent of Renzong in Tianji Pavilion, and Renyang is my apprentice."
"So that's it! No wonder the emperor wants to make you the censor and let you go to Zhongyuan City to deal with this matter." Ding Sheng said with relief.
Gu Chan nodded secretly after hearing this, her doubts cleared.
