The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 670

Zheng An frowned, looked at Xuan Shijing, then at the two lists in front of him, finally picked up the list, and compared them carefully.

"These two lists, one is the list of those who gathered in the Xuanwu Tower after the palace examination, and the other is the list of candidates suspected of cheating in Chunwei displayed in the court memorial." Xuan Shijing said: " Is it true that [-]% of the people on the two lists are the same?"

Zheng An quickly glanced at the two lists in his hand, then raised his head to look at Xuan Shijing and nodded: "Indeed."

"However, on the day of your gathering, in the Xuanwu Building, you had a dispute with someone from the Zheng family. That person is the current second son of the Zheng family. Zheng Feng, what this Marquis said is correct, right?"

Zheng An nodded: "So, Marquis Xuan, you suspect that the Zheng family is actually behind this incident?"

"That's right, but it's just a suspicion, and there are too many grounds for this suspicion, so this Marquis wants to find you, ask what's going on, and want to know more about the relationship between you and the Zheng family. Is your grievance enough for the Zheng family to deal with you." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Well, the grievances between me and the Zheng family have to start many years ago, and the origin is also because of the second son of the Zheng family, Zheng Feng." Zheng An said slowly: "My mother is just a maidservant of the Zheng family. It was because of the military disaster that my family could not afford to support me, so I was sold into the Zheng family. The relationship between the head of the Zheng family and my mother was nothing more than a drunken mistake. When my mother gave birth to me, she was only 16 years old. Because I was born early, my mother's health has been poor since I was born, and the cold and summer can't stop herbal medicine, but even if my mother gave birth to a son for the Zheng family, she still can't change her status , on the contrary, because he gave birth to a son earlier than the main wife, he was often made things difficult and squeezed by the main wife. From the beginning of my memory, my mother and I lived in a remote courtyard of the Zheng family. The servants of the Zheng family basically It's also a matter of watching people order food, and it's a common thing to deduct our mother and child's food and clothing expenses. Later, when I was in my teens, my mother died of a serious illness. Fortunately, the Zheng family originally The maid who has always had a good relationship with my mother has been taking care of me in the side courtyard, so that I will not starve to death in the Zheng family, but my mother died because of the Zheng family. I will never let go of this matter, but, let it go No, I don’t have enough capital to fight against the Zheng family. All that is empty talk, so on weekdays I can only humbly ask the steward of the Zheng family’s study room to lend me basic books and teach me how to read. Unable to withstand my request, he began to teach me how to read, so I decided to study hard."

Speaking of this, Zheng An's tears could not help but swirl in his eyes, and he confided his thoughts today, which touched the weakest part of his memory, and made him think of his mother, thinking of his mother dying The appearance before.

Facing Zheng An at this time, Xuan Shijing was helpless and could only return an encouraging look.

What happened to Zheng An may be a common occurrence in many big families. If he was sold as a girl in the mansion, then the whole person belonged to the master's family. In this era, that is not wrong, so, and because of this, there have been countless tragedies like Zheng An and his mother. Maybe after one night, the head of the Zheng family didn't even know that the maid was pregnant with his flesh and blood. Maybe it was only when Zheng An's mother gave birth that the head of the Zheng family knew that he had an extra son.

Because of Zheng An's mother's status, it was destined that the status of their mother and son in the Zheng family would not be too high, and Zheng An would not receive much attention.

"What happened later?" Xuan Shijing continued to ask after seeing that Zheng An's mood had calmed down a bit.

"Later, when I was 16 years old, I went to the study to pick up a few books and came back to read as usual. At the door of the study, I ran into Zheng Feng." Zheng An said: "It was also at that time that I formed a bond with Zheng Feng Liang Zi, the cause was nothing more than Zheng Feng insulting my mother, I couldn't see it, so I beat him." Having said this, Zheng An showed a sneer on his face, and sneered: "But, in the end, Zheng Feng was safe and sound. But I was kicked out of the Zheng family by the Zheng family's mistress at the time."

There is no doubt that Zheng An's childhood was miserable, and because of this, hatred for the Zheng family was buried in Zheng An's heart, because of the Zheng family, Zheng An's mother died, and because of Zheng Feng, Zheng An was kicked out. He left the Zheng family and lived a life of starvation for many years.

Perhaps Zheng An was able to achieve his current achievements all because of the strength in his heart, which has led him to the present.

But now, with all of this, the Zheng family has come out to destroy it again. This makes Zheng An hate it. After being kicked out of the Zheng family at the age of 16, Zheng An was born in a hut outside Chang'an City. Going out to do odd jobs for others, while using the money he earned to buy books and study, he studied hard for more than ten years in the cold window, once a carp jumped the dragon's gate, but now he is caught in the cheating case of Chunwei for no reason.

Xuan Shijing was also thinking that this Zheng An participated in the palace examination of the Taiji Palace, and he was also the top candidate in the palace examination hand-picked by His Majesty Li Er. His literary talent is outstanding, and he has been recognized by His Majesty Li Er. Why can he be questioned? Woolen cloth?
It's just that the information that Qin Bingyue brought back made Xuan Shijing understand that no matter it was the questions of the Chunwei exam or the questions of the palace exam, they had all been prepared in advance, so people caught this excuse and took it. Let's talk about things.

It's just that if Chunwei's test questions are placed in the official department, it may be leaked, but the test questions of the palace test have always been placed in the palace, which is a bit unreasonable.

After hearing what happened to Zheng An, Xuan Shijing began to think about this matter carefully. Perhaps this matter was a conspiracy that had been arranged before the Chunwei exam?

But what is the benefit of doing so?Who is the purpose of arranging these things?Zheng An?I am afraid that Zheng An is not enough to make people spend so much effort. Now it seems that the Zheng family is also used by others in all likelihood. They are used by others to make a big fuss about the affairs of Zheng An and the Zheng family, and then make a big fuss about the Zheng family Let's launch it as an obstacle to Dali Temple and Shenhou Mansion's investigation and handling of the case.

If the plan succeeds, in all likelihood, the Zheng family will be responsible in the end.

Xuan Shijing now has a clear idea in his mind, although everything is just his speculation, but he might as well follow this speculation which is [-]% true, maybe the harvest will be unexpected.
