Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 347 Saying Parents (5000)

The governor of Xingyang County followed behind the team as if he had lost his soul. Even if he was forced to retire, he would always go back to the city to pack his bags.

This person said he was wronged, but it made sense to remove him from his post. After all, Gao Cheng personally bumped into this matter. He neglected his duties and connived at the powerful and powerful to kill the people. will also collapse.

He kept the bottom line and did not harm the sufferer who appealed to the yamen, so Gao Cheng saved his life, and even gave him money to release him, which was considered a kindness.

Zheng Wei, who was waiting outside the city, had no idea that disaster was imminent. Seeing the team of guards Gao Cheng driving slowly approaching, he was still secretly hoping that King Qi would give him a chance to show his bravery.

But when the car arrived in front of him, Zheng Wei was taken down.

Although Zheng Wei was an important member of the Zheng family in Xingyang, it would be too cheap to be cautious if Gao Cheng led [-] Hu soldiers on patrol to capture such an ignorant and powerless commoner.

In the past, Zheng Weineng relied on his family's influence to entangle tens of thousands of people, but now that times have changed, if he can easily gather people to rebel, it can only be said that Gao Cheng's benevolent governance of the low-level people and the suppression of the gentry in the past few years have all been in vain.

"I never offended the king, why did you take me!"

Zheng Wei didn't dare to resist, but he kept calling for grievances, and everyone around him was panicked, not sure what Gao Cheng's intentions were.

Gao Cheng didn't pay attention to the noisy discussion of the crowd, he just called Zheng Shuzu and confessed:
"I'll leave this case to you for the time being."

He also appeased the couple who were a little flustered by Zheng Shuzu's presiding interrogation and said:
"Zheng Changshi will definitely handle it impartially."

After all, he took a deep look at Zheng Shuzu, and Zheng Shuzu expressed his opinion on the spot:

"Zheng Wei did the beastly thing, the boy was so innocent, but he was killed. The lower officials were also shocked. Please rest assured, the lower officials will never condone raising adultery, which will bring disaster to the clan."

Gao Cheng nodded slightly, and asked Zheng Shuzu to bring the suffering master and his wife for public trial.

After Zheng Shuzu left, Gao Cheng taught Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu who were sitting on the left and right:
"If there is an injustice, such as a tyrant abusing the people, and it comes before your eyes, the eyes of the world will be on you. No matter how close the relationship between the perpetrator and you is, it must be dealt with impartially. , chilling the hearts of the people even more.”

Although Xiao Gaowang intends to kill all his sons, but the weather is unpredictable, and life is long and short, which is unpredictable, so he cannot slack off the education of his sons.

The two brothers nodded half-understood.

Gao Cheng didn't know if the two sons understood and took it into their hearts, but he also knew that haste makes waste. After all, they are still two children under the age of five. .

Zheng Shuzu read the case to everyone at the gate of the city, threatening that if the case was true, he would be punished according to the "Taichang Law". More people pressed firmly to the ground.

During this period, Gao Cheng's car drove straight into the city without stopping. He also saw Zheng Wei's so-called bravery, but he just dismissed it in his heart.

Even though Zheng Wei howled like a beast behind him, Gao Cheng enjoyed the sincere worship of the people on both sides.

Zheng Wei's murder case is not a secret in Xingyang City, but it has not yet reached the ears of Liangzhou Inspector Zhao Yanshen. After all, Liangzhou's prefecture is in Daliang, not Xingyang.

In the tsunami of Qi Wang's praises, Gao Cheng turned his head and said proudly to his two sons:
"Compared to such a scene, not to mention punishing a mere Zheng Wei, even relatives who commit crimes should be punished."

Later, he and his two sons recalled the past when they captured Wei Jing in Jizhou and whipped his cousin Wei Can a hundred horsewhips in front of the people in Xindu. He laughed and said:
"At that time, it was unprecedentedly grand. Almost all the people in Xindu City came to watch, and the clapping and applause almost deafened my father's ears."

Under the reverent eyes of his two sons, Gao Cheng smiled even more proudly. He even got up and opened the door curtain, walked out of the carriage and waved to the people beside the road.

Of course, in just a moment, the life-threatening little Gao Wang returned to the carriage.

It may be that his predecessor was assassinated, which made him have persecution paranoia. When it comes to his own safety, it always makes people feel that Gao Cheng is too cautious.

Several years ago, Gao Cheng no longer rode in an open-air carriage.

King Qi of the Great Wei Dynasty was temporarily resting in Xingyang, and the city defense had been taken over by the accompanying Hu soldiers. Naturally, the entire family of King Qi's mansion had to live in the largest house in the city.

The Zheng family in Xingyang had already cleaned up the house for everyone in Prince Qi's mansion to settle down.

Gao Cheng's handing over Zheng Wei to Zheng Shuzu for trial was not actually to test him, but anyone with a little brain would know that the case has been cleared up, King Qi's attitude has been made clear, and no one dares to cover it up.

In fact, the main purpose was to appease the Zheng family in Xingyang. If Zheng Shuzu came forward, the Zheng family would not worry about being implicated.

After all, Zheng Wei was guilty of his own fault, but if Zheng Shuzu dared to implicate innocent fellow clansmen, let alone himself, his father's grave would be dug up by angry clansmen.

Gao Cheng moved into Zheng's ancestral house, but he didn't invite a concubine to serve him. Instead, he sent someone to invite Yuan Jiyan in the name of discussing the marriage for seven-year-old Gao Rui.

When Yuan Jiyan learned that Gao Cheng was recruiting, she didn't hide it after all, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Gao Rui stopped thinking about following.

Ever since he knew that when he was still a baby, his uncle tried to take him away twice, and it was his cousin who protected his mother, Gao Rui no longer blamed Yuan Jiyan for always having Gao Cheng's place in his heart.

No matter the appearance or the status of the cousin, he is the crown of the moment, and which widow can withstand his maintenance without being tempted.

"Mum, come back early, don't stay overnight."

When Yuan Jiyan went out, Gao Rui said that he knew that after his uncle died, it was impossible for him to stop the two people from running in both directions, but the bottom line was that they couldn't stay overnight.

Regardless of what happened during the day, there is always a reason to deceive others and oneself, but it is really hard to tell if you stay overnight.

Yuan Jiyan also heard the meaning behind the words, she was a little flustered, and covered up:
"I'm just going to discuss your marriage with your cousin for your mother, and I will come back before midnight."

After Yuan Jiyan left, Gao Rui found Gao Chen's spiritual tablet from the package, and facing the tablet alone, he complained a bit:

"When my mother was pregnant, there were clearly several concubines in the family, but my grandfather insisted on going to his uncle's inner house to have fun. My mother was 16 years old and kept the festival. She worked hard to raise the child for seven years. Now she has her own heart, although it is contrary to human relations. But the boy is powerless to stop it, and I still hope that Grandpa is in the spirit of heaven, don't blame the boy, if you are angry in your heart, let's talk to brother in a dream."

After all, putting down the tablet, Gao Rui was confused again, tangled and muttering to himself:

"After today, should I call him Brother or Grandpa?"

It doesn't matter whether Gao Rui really sees this matter. In fact, what can be done if he can't see it. After she was pregnant, she only dared to yell and curse in front of her mother's palace, and didn't dare to show her teeth at her uncle at all.

Later, Li Zu'e gave birth to a baby girl and strangled her to death because of her humiliation. Gao Shaode was also taken into the palace by angry Gao Zhan, but he only knew to panic and beg for mercy, but he was still beaten to death. .

Gao Cheng called Yuan Jiyan over this time, in fact, Yuan Jiyan could understand what he was thinking, after all, if he really wanted to discuss marriage, there was no reason to call her away alone in such a hurry.

Originally, there was still a little expectation in her heart. After all, she was a widow at the age of 16, and now she is 23 years old. Now that the person she loves has the courage to move forward, Yuan Jiyan is not happy.

But before going out, Gao Rui's words made Yuan Jiyan hesitate again.

I had a great time with Gao Cheng, but when the news got out, how could Gao Rui hold his head up in front of outsiders, and how would he face his son after returning this time.

Compared to Gao Cheng, Gao Rui undoubtedly holds a higher position in Yuan Jiyan's heart.

The moment Gao Cheng saw Yuan Jiyan, he got up distracted and asked his servants and guards to wait outside the house, while he stepped forward and took the other's soft and white hand.

"These years, I have suffered for you."

Gao Cheng has always understood Yuan Jiyan's affection for him, but he dared not express it because of Gao Huan's existence and his own reputation. Now that the biggest obstacle between them, He Liuhun, has gone, no one can do it anymore. prevent them from getting close secretly.

Yuan Jiyan withdrew her hand, and she choked up and told Gao Cheng all the worries in her heart. Gao Cheng no longer acted frivolously, Yuan Jiyan didn't want to, and he wouldn't force it.

The two faced each other silently, and suddenly Gao Cheng thought of Yuan Shanjian's digging of the tunnel, and whispered to Yuan Jiyan:

"After returning to Luoyang, I ordered my confidants to dig a tunnel between Prince Qi's Mansion and Duke Zhao's Mansion, so that we can deceive people and meet Qing."

Yuan Jiyan's cheeks turned red when she heard it, and she also thought of the absurd life after returning to Luoyang.

Gao Cheng couldn't help embracing Yuan Jiyan in his arms, feeling that the beauty in his arms seemed to break free, Gao Cheng said softly:

"I just hug for a while."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but kissed Yuan Jiyan's cheek again, and continued:

"I have already arranged a marriage for Ah Rui. She is the second daughter of Zheng Shuzu. She is about the same age as Ah Rui. Although the Zheng family is not as good as Hebei's four surnames and five clans, it is also the first noble family in Henan. I will definitely not insult Ah Rui's status. "

Yuan Jiyan heard that Gao Cheng had appointed Zheng Shuzu's daughter for Gao Rui, so she was naturally satisfied with her identity, and Zheng Shuzu's conduct was also heard, and she couldn't fault it.

Don't look at Zheng Shuzu as the right-hand official of the Xiangguo Mansion, that's because the entire Zheng family in Xingyang missed the opportunity of Xindu Jianyi, and just like that, they were able to squeeze into Gao Huan's main circle of staff.

As the core figure of the Zheng family, Zheng Shuzu just kept low in front of Gao Cheng.

Yuan Jiyan was hugged tightly by Gao Cheng for a while, and she was anxious to leave, lest she would cause criticism if she stayed for too long.

Gao Cheng also let go of his hand and let Yuan Jiyan leave, but Yuan Jiyan only took a few steps before turning around and kissing Gao Cheng's lips.

After a long time, the lips were parted. Yuan Jiyan, 23 years old and a mother, bit her lip, and the little girl left a sentence:
"After I return to Luoyang, the king will arrange everything."

He walked away briskly.

However, the good mood didn't last long. Outside the courtyard gate, he saw Zheng Dache and a beautiful strange woman.

Back then Gao Chen was shot with a cane because of his affair with Zheng Dache, Yuan Jiyan couldn't look any good when he saw her at this time, he snorted coldly, although he passed by, his ears were still paying attention to the movement behind him.

"Please inform the King of Qi that Mrs. Zheng, an outsider, is asking to see you."

Zheng Dache's voice reached Yuan Jiyan's ears, and she breathed a sigh of relief: So it was not Gao Lang who summoned her, but this shameless woman who insisted on posting it.

But before Yuan Jiyan left, she still left a servant girl to wait and see in the dark. She didn't care how many women were around Gao Cheng, but she just couldn't bear to marry Zheng Dache again.

Gao Cheng heard that Zheng Dache had brought a beautiful woman, so he didn't want to see him. After all, Aunt Zheng coveted his body. Yan's teasing made her heart angry, so she still asked Zheng Dache to come over to see what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd.

After being searched by the maid, Zheng Dache couldn't help but move closer to Gao Cheng the moment he entered the door:
"Every time I see the king, I always recall the scene when we first met."

Although Gao Cheng sniffed the fragrance of Aunt Zheng's body, he said unmoved:

"Why did Zheng Niang ask to see you today?"

Zheng Dache pointed to the beautiful woman who followed her in, and said with emotion:
"It's not for this silly girl who is a concubine."

Immediately, he introduced the woman in detail, and it turned out that this woman was Mrs. Zheng whom Zheng Wei and others planned to present to Gao Cheng.

It is said that since my sister became a widow, she has made up her mind that if she is not a man of indomitable spirit, she would rather stay chaste than marry in this life.

Today, I saw King Qi's elegant demeanor on the left side of the road, and my heart fluttered, so I came to beg her sister, hoping to meet Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng was also a thousand-year-old fox, so he immediately guessed what Zheng Dache was thinking. It was nothing more than that although Yaoguang Temple was good, it couldn't compare to the dignity of Prince Qi's Mansion.

After so many years of flattery, Gao Cheng has always acted as if he refused people thousands of miles away. This time, Gao Cheng took the initiative to take him on a trip, and he heard that the tribe originally planned to sacrifice Mrs. Zheng to him, so he found another way. With all his thoughts, he was going to let Xiao Gao Wangpin Yipin's sisters of the same family in their early thirties.

For example, Yuan Jingyi, Yuan Yuyi, Li Zu'e, Li Zuyi, these young and delicate flowers are tired of eating, thinking about it, the rich and colorful peonies also have a special taste.

Gao Cheng's moral standards have always been high and low, and the bottom line of principles can also be changed flexibly. At this time, his thoughts also stretched out:
'Gao Chen can drive this big car, why can't I touch it, besides, I should be the one to drive it. '

But when he thought of Gao Huan's kindness to him, Gao Cheng still controlled his mind. He looked at Mrs. Zheng aside, and saw that there was a hint of shrinking in her expression. Maybe it was not voluntary, so he said to Zheng Da:

"Zheng Niang accepted it with good intentions, but although she is lustful, she has never done anything that is difficult for others. Mrs. Zheng must be sincere for her father's chastity, so don't mention this matter again."

Seeing the happy expression on Mrs. Zheng's face, Gao Cheng strengthened his judgment. He let Mrs. Zheng go out first, leaving Zheng Dache alone, and said:
"Although Cheng is unworthy, he doesn't want to humiliate his father and king. Zheng Niang is affectionate, and Cheng Ming feels deeply, but this life is bound to have no fate. Cheng will take care of Zheng Niang in a good life. I also ask Zheng Niang to stop thinking about it. When Zheng Niang came out of Yaoguang Temple, she was only thinking of you who had been away from home for many years, and you lived lonely in the temple on weekdays, so she only made this trip, and it was definitely not an evil thought in her heart."

The maidservant left by Yuan Jiyan saw Zheng Dache enter the door not long after, and she led Mrs. Zheng out with a sad face, and immediately went back to inform Yuan Jiyan, and Gao Cheng was also planning the day, knowing that today is Yuan Yuyi's attendant After going to bed, someone called his sister Yuan Jingyi over.

After a lot of ups and downs, Xiao Gao Wang has made a lot of efforts to preserve his health, but he has never abstained from sex. If he even quits sex, what is the fun of living for such a long time.

The next day, Gao Cheng slept until he woke up naturally. It was already noon, and the Yuan sisters' snow-white arms lay across Gao Cheng's chest, and the two girls were still sleeping soundly.

Gao Cheng didn't want to disturb them. Last night he really tossed hard. After all, he was teased first by Yuan Jiyan and then by Zheng Dache. They were all exciting and taboo relationships. If he didn't vent his anger, he might hold back Sick.

After he put on his clothes, Gao Cheng went out lightly and called the maid to wash him in the yard.

After a while, someone notified Zheng Shuzu to see him.

It took only one day for Zheng Shuzu to find out whether he was a local boss. He followed Gao Cheng's words and was sentenced to death according to the "Law of Taichang", and now he came to report to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng carefully reviewed the file, and naturally he appreciated Zheng Shuzu's ability to deal with it fairly and not hide his clan relatives. He approved the death penalty, and there was no need to send Zheng Wei to Luoyang. Let the people in the city vent their anger and let them know that King Qi is good.

However, he was not in a hurry to let Zheng Shuzu go, but asked him what he thought of his cousin Gao Rui.

"Mr. Zhao Jun is intelligent and mature early. He is known for his filial piety. He has excellent talents. He should be the king of Qi Qianliju."

Zheng Yanzu praised.

Hearing this, Gao Cheng said with emotion:
"Although the brother of the lonely family lost his father since he was young, he was valued by the king and loved all the sons. Now he is seven years old, and he is a lonely elder brother. He is entrusted by his mother to look for marriage on his behalf. The second daughter is the same age as Rui, and the Zheng family in Xingyang is naturally a noble family, but Rui's younger brother comes from the Gao family in Bohai, so I don't know if we can marry Zheng's daughter according to the family status."

"The Gao clan of Bohai was supported by the great king, respected by the four surnames and five clans in Hebei, and also possessed the talent and appearance of the Duke of Zhao Jun. It is a good match."

Zheng Shuzu naturally agreed, and King Qi personally acted as a matchmaker for his cousin, unless Gao Rui was really mean-spirited, how could there be any reason to refuse.

Hearing Zheng Shuzu's permission, Gao Cheng ordered Gao Rui to be summoned, pointed at Zheng Shuzu and said to Gao Rui:
"This was Shi Zhenggong, the right chief of Wang Xiangguo's mansion. From now on, he will be your father-in-law. Ah Rui needs to respect him."

There is no such thing as free love these days, and Gao Rui didn't have the awareness. He immediately saluted Zheng Shuzu solemnly and called him Yue Weng.

Zheng Shuzu was very satisfied with Gao Rui. Compared with Xu Longzhi's tough fight, Gao Rui was a veritable member of the Gao clan, but he didn't have a trace of arrogance on him, and he treated himself with courtesy.

In fact, Gao Rui himself also respected this father-in-law very much. Zheng Shuzu was of the same type as him. He came from a noble family, but he was able to restrain his words and deeds since he was a child.

Although Zheng Shuzu's status is not high now, Gao Rui dare not underestimate him.

It can be seen that Zheng Shuzu's evaluation of Gao Rui is at least well-deserved for his early wisdom.

　It's still a thousand short, and in the update at ten o'clock tonight, there should be a chapter of about [-] words tonight.
