Chapter 1018 Shameless Kindness (41)

Jin Qing stayed in the small courtyard for nearly a month, and the official who was said to be meeting with her to discuss matters came late.

It's just that this person's identity is a bit special, it was Zeng Da who killed Mo Wanxia back then.
Back then, Zeng Da's father was also a general in the garrison.

However, when he took his family out of the city to play, he was ambushed by the enemy and took his family away.

After that, a large number of foreigners besieged the border city, and the defenders of the border city had to go through untold hardships to hold the city without a general.

Since the entire Zeng family disappeared on the battlefield, the lieutenant general guarding the city made a claim to the court, blaming the Zeng family for the foreigner's sneak attack, and giving them the name of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country.

Not to mention that the family property was confiscated, all the relatives of the Zeng family were exiled. For a while, the huge Zeng family became scattered like a fallen tree.

After Zeng Da's family was taken into captivity, they also suffered a lot.

The foreigners originally wanted to catch General Zeng and relieve their hatred.

Therefore, after they were taken away, they would naturally not be allowed to live a good life. The daily torture and humiliation made the members of the Zeng family miserable.

In the end, the Zeng family sacrificed themselves to find a chance for their three children to escape.

Zeng Da took a deep breath before fleeing the enemy's territory with his injured siblings.

At that time, the three brothers and sisters of the Zeng family were all wounded, especially the youngest, Zeng Xiaomei, who not only had her legs broken, but even her face was disfigured.

The three managed to escape to a mountain not far from the Central Plains, and then fainted due to exhaustion.

Then, the eldest princess picked up the three "need help" people back.

Zeng Daben is a selfish person, it is not easy to treat his younger siblings sincerely, so how could he be sincere to the eldest princess and Mo Wanxia.

Thus, there was a scene of pushing Mo Wanxia down the mountain.

After Zeng Da returned to the capital that year, he directly found a colleague who had made good friends with his father in the past and handed the book to the new emperor.

Originally, Zeng Da's father was very prestigious in the court, and he was an important minister trusted by both the former emperor and the new emperor.

The new emperor also hated the Zeng family because they betrayed the country and fled the city.

At this time, seeing the three brothers and sisters of the Zeng family who had fled desperately back, the new emperor still had no idea.

Knowing the unjust injustice suffered by the Zeng family, the new emperor not only gave back the ancestral house that the Zeng family had seized, but also bestowed countless rare treasures to the three brothers and sisters of the Zeng family to appease them.

Because Zeng Xiaomei is old and has a problem with her appearance, she cannot marry at all.

The new emperor simply bestowed grace and brought Zeng Xiaomei into the harem, intending to give her a belonging.

Since Zeng Da had been serving as his father's lieutenant general in the past years, he was very familiar with military affairs, so the new emperor appointed him a second-rank general.

And Zeng Er had already passed the second-class Jinshi examination before, but because of this incident, his official career was ruined.

The new emperor wants to give Zeng Er an official position, but Zeng Er has no intention of officialdom, and he feels uneasy because of the murder of Mo Wanxia.

He simply declined the reward that the emperor bestowed on him, went out alone in a clear morning, and never disappeared.

Only the gatekeeper told Zeng Da that Zeng Er claimed to travel all over the world.

Seeing that Zeng Er left the capital, the emperor thought that Zeng Er was disheartened because of the innocent disaster of the Zeng family.

From then on, the kindness to Zeng Da became even greater.
This made the Zeng family become the upstarts of the imperial court, and they were all in the limelight for a while.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten years have passed, and Zeng Er has completely disappeared.

It was ten years ago that someone finally found his trace.

A woodcutter who went up the mountain to cut firewood once saw the bearded Zeng Er standing alone on a cliff, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The woodcutter went up to talk to Zeng Er and left this strange man. Since then, no one has seen Zeng Er again.

And Zeng Xiaomei has a disability because of her bad looks.

After being brought into the harem by the emperor, he joined the queen's camp, hugged the queen's thigh tightly, and did some dirty things for the queen.

After all, she was someone who had been in the enemy's prison. Xiaomei Zeng came up with endless ideas of torture, making the people in the harem miserable, but she couldn't find any evidence.

Because they were all wounded in unexplainable places, Zeng Xiaomei struck swiftly without leaving any traces at all.

Therefore, everyone in the harem hated Zeng Xiaomei, but the queen was extremely satisfied with her.

The queen thought of her loyalty, and the emperor had never been to her palace, so she adopted the other princes who did not have mothers and concubines by Zeng Xiaomei's side to show his favor.

Knowing that this child will be her reliance for the rest of her life, Zeng Xiaomei does her best to raise this prince, and her life in the palace is much better than other concubines without children.

The situation in the harem can easily affect the former dynasty.

Zeng Xiaomei joined the queen's camp, and the queen's eldest son was the prince, so Zeng Da also became an out-and-out princeling.

Zeng Da has done really well these years, he has done everything the emperor entrusted him to do beautifully, and he is also a good person.

The year before last, he had just won the title of Viscount and married the daughter of the prime minister's family. It was as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

The first emperor was a man of extravagance, not only liked ostentation, but also demanded the best and the best in everything.

When the new emperor took over, he found that the treasury was not only empty, but also accumulated a lot of IOUs.

Therefore, the emperor has always attached great importance to the matter of business, and only hopes to bring more income to the country.

However, the business road has not been peaceful, and various cottages are entrenched on the only way to trade,

There are endless incidents of murder and extortion, and fewer and fewer people dare to do business on the business road.

Especially the no-regret zone from the Central Plains to the Western Regions. This area is located at the junction of the two countries, but it does not belong to any country.

At that time, because there were many mountains and forests in this area, and wild animals frequently appeared, neither country included this part of its territory.

Only some homeless people were allowed to settle here, gradually forming small villages, and then cottages
After the commercial route was developed later, the two countries realized the importance of this area to them, but by then it was too late.

Although the two countries have had constant friction in recent years, they have never really started fighting.

But once an army enters this area, it will definitely trigger a war.

Therefore, the Central Plains and the Western Regions have always been eyeing this area, but they dare not make the first move, they just keep testing each other's intentions.

Just when the emperor thought that the business road was about to turn yellow, he discovered that the bandits on the business road had been unified.

The emperor originally thought of taking this cottage that unified the business way secretly, and then sent his own people to garrison it, so that the order of the business way would be under his control.
