Cao Thief

Chapter 625 Jingxiang Family (22)

Kuai Zheng, these years have been extremely unsatisfactory...

When Cao Peng's family defected from Zhongyang Town to his son-in-law Deng Ji, he was the county magistrate of Jiyang County.At that time, thanks to Kuai Zheng's care, Cao Ji's family quickly settled down in Jiyang.No matter what kind of intentions Kuai had, he did take great care of Cao Peng's family.When Huang She wanted to frame Cao Peng's family, Kuai Zheng tried his best to protect Cao Peng and Deng Ji at first.

However, although Kuai Zheng was born in the Kuai family, he was a son of a side branch.

The status of the family is not too high, and it can't be compared with Huang She's status as a son of the clan.

Later, Cao Peng and Deng Ji were framed by Huang She at Xiyangju, and there was no news of them.Huang She ordered people to arrest Cao Peng's parents and sister, trying to kill them.Kuai Zheng also had a fierce conflict with Huang She... Cao Peng robbed Cao Ji, killed Deng Cai and Ma Ying, and went to Xudu.Because of this incident, Kuai was implicated, and was called back to the family by Kuai's family, and was never trained again...

Speaking of which, the Kuai family in Xiangyang and the Huang family in Jiangxia are evenly matched.

Because Kuai was the son of a concubine, Kuai certainly didn't want to offend Huang Zu, who was arrogant at the time, and ruin the relationship between the two families because of him.As a result, Kuai Zheng never recovered, and spent nearly ten years in his hometown, even to the point of desperation.

The clan has its own clan rules.

They will not sit idly by the clansmen, but they will not give charity for no reason.

In the beginning, Kuai Zheng taught classes in ethnology and lived on a meager salary... Those clansmen who had taken refuge in him at the beginning left one after another when they saw that he was losing power.Seeing that he was down and out, his wife returned to her natal family and never returned.She even invited her natal family to come forward and broke off the engagement with Kuai Zheng.Now, apart from the old housekeeper who has been with him for many years, Kuai Zheng can no longer find anyone who can be considerate.

At the beginning, he was still able to make a living by teaching ethnology.

But later, Deng Cai's younger sister, the concubine who married into Kuai's family's house, encouraged her husband to come forward to embarrass Kuai Zheng.The Zong house had always had conflicts with Kuai Zheng, and later he was appreciated by Kuai Liang, so his status in the family was not low.His appearance made it impossible for Kuai Zheng to gain a foothold in ethnology.In the end, he had no choice but to leave ethnology, and opened a small shop with the old housekeeper in Xiangyang City.

Although he had enough food and clothing, he never had a chance to make a comeback.

It's been ten years!
Kuai Zheng was already disheartened.

But unexpectedly, one day, Kuai Liang sent people to Xiangyang to find him and asked him to return to his hometown to meet him.

Kuai Zheng felt inexplicably terrified.

Kuai Liang, that is the son of the clan house, his status in the clan is second only to the patriarch Kuai Yue.Generally, if there is nothing to do, it is difficult for the clansmen to see Kuai Liang.Now that Kuai Liang suddenly wanted to summon him, could something have happened?Or maybe someone said something bad about me again?
To be honest, Kuai Zheng's life in the past few years has indeed been quite unsatisfactory, and it can even be described as poverty.

But he couldn't figure out what good things Kuai Liang could do by looking for him... If not, it must be the Zong house who is behind the scenes.

In recent years, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

However, when Kuai Liang summoned him, Kuai Zheng naturally couldn't refuse.

At that time, Cao Peng arrived in Zhongyang Town.

Kuai Zheng came to Zhonglu County full of fear.

The foundation of Kuai's township party is in Zhonglu, Nanjun, which is later known as Nanzhang, Hubei.However, people often call it the Xiangyang Kuai family because the Kuai family has already left Zhonglu and became a wealthy family in Jingxiang.But his ancestral house is still built in Zhonglu County.As soon as Kuai Zheng arrived at Zhonglu, he felt something was wrong.First of all, Kuai Liang actually ordered people to wait for his arrival at Shiliting, which shows that the matter must be very important.

The person who greeted him was Kuai Liang's confidant named Kuai Fu.

"Why is Boping late? The second master is at home and has been waiting for a long time."

"Uncle Fu, what is it that you have to wait for yourself?"

"Don't talk too much, Bo Ping, follow me to see the master."

It's the end of the new year, and Zhonglu County is full of lively scenes.In the county town, there is a happy atmosphere of the coming New Year...

Kuai Fu dragged Kuai Zheng into the county seat, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Boping, why are you wearing such thin clothes?"

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Kuai Zheng was still wearing shabby autumn clothes.Kuai Fu hesitated for a moment, and took Kuai Zheng straight to a clothing store in Zhonglu County.

He selected two sets of gorgeous clothes for Kuai Zheng, and asked Kuai Zheng to change into them.

"Second Master has always followed this etiquette, if you dress poorly, I'm afraid it will make Second Master unhappy.

Boping, I know you have been wronged a lot in the past ten years.But you are a member of the Kuai clan after all, the second master has something important to call you today, you can't refuse.If this matter can be done properly, your recovery is only in front of you.When I meet the second master in a while, pay attention to etiquette. "

revive?

This sounds like a strange and distant phrase.

When he just returned to his hometown from Jiyang, Kuai Zheng was also thinking about his recovery.

But ten years have passed... the heart of recovery has long been indifferent.He even made preparations, when the old housekeeper passed away, he would leave Jingzhou and go outside to seek a living.As far as Kuai is concerned, having one more person or one less person does not seem to have much impact.

"Uncle Fu, what happened?"

"When you see the master, you will naturally understand."

A clan member who had not returned to the ancestral home for several years suddenly returned to the ancestral home under Kuai Fu's guidance.

Naturally, it aroused many people's speculation.

Kuai Zheng met Kuai Liang in the study of the back house of Kuai Mansion.

The fear in my heart became more and more intense.

"Nephew Kuai Zheng, pay respects to uncle."

Kuai Liang was full of joy, he smiled and pulled Kuai Zheng to sit down.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kuai Liang suddenly asked, "Boping, I heard people say that when you were in Jiyang, did you have a good relationship with the Cao family?"

Kuai Zheng couldn't help but thump in his heart.

After so many years, do we still have to turn over old accounts?

The Huang family in Jiangxia has already declined, it seems unnecessary, let's hold ourselves accountable.

Kuaizheng hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "My nephew was young and energetic at that time, and he didn't know anything. It was really unwise to fight against the Huang family for the sake of a commoner. Over the years, my nephew has often reflected on himself and deeply regretted it. .This matter... my nephew has already explained to the clan house, and I ask my uncle to forgive me."

Looking at Kuai Zheng's pale face like paper, and the fear in his eyes.

Kuai Liang couldn't help feeling remorse.

What happened back then was not because you were wrong, but because we were wrong... Who would have thought that the kid in the past is now the Nanyang prefect appointed by the imperial court?It seems that Kuai Zheng has been extremely unsatisfactory in recent years.I don't know how he got the courage to seek justice for Cao Peng.

"Boping, it's hard to tell right from wrong about what happened in the past.

As far as the family is concerned, Huang Zu is arrogant and is even favored by the state pastor.Although my Kuai family has lived in Jingxiang for many generations, I have to avoid its edge.I also know that over the years, you must have suffered a lot of hardships and grievances.But, no matter what, you are the son of the family.Now the family has a heavy responsibility for you, and I hope you can forget the unhappiness of the past and do your best... I can guarantee that I will give you justice. "

The implication is nothing more than telling Kuai Zheng that I will avenge you.

While talking, Kuai Liang clapped his hands suddenly, and Kuai Fu walked into the study holding a brocade box in his hand.

"This is the first justice for you, Uncle."

"what?"

Kuai Zheng raised his head in astonishment, looked at Kuai Liang, and didn't know what to do.

Kuai Fu stepped forward and put the brocade box on the table next to Kuai Zheng. Kuai Zheng hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, and slowly opened the brocade box...

Suddenly, his pupils dilated and his face became paler.

A bloody smell rushed over.

I saw a human head placed in the brocade box.

The blood on his face hadn't dried up yet, obviously he had just been killed.

After careful identification, Kuai Zheng immediately recognized the head as the concubine of the Zong House, that is, Deng Cai's younger sister.

what on earth is it?

He turned his head to look at Kuai Liang, but saw Kuai Liang's expression was calm, as if the ancient well was calm.

"The bitch's tongue-in-cheek, corrupting the laws of our clan, and causing Desheng to persecute the clansmen, is a crime worthy of death."

Kuai Liang didn't even look at the brocade box, and said in a deep voice: "As for Desheng, your uncle has sent someone to recall him, and decided to resign from his post as husband and barbarian chief, and let him go home and think about it. It is the second justice for you, what does Bo Ping think?"

Desheng, that is, the Zong house.

Kuai Zheng was dumbfounded!

But he knew very well in his heart that since Kuai Liang had achieved this step, if he refused, his fate would not be much better than that of the house.

Although Kuai Liang's name is Zirou, but when he does things, his methods are not gentle at all.

Kuai Zheng quickly bowed and said, "My nephew is a member of the Kuai clan, born as a Kuai clan, and died as a Kuai clan ghost.

If uncle has orders, please explain.The nephew will not refuse, and is willing to serve the family like a dog and a horse. "

On Kuai Liang's clear and slightly upright face, a smile suddenly appeared, which also made the lines on his face much softer.

"I'm afraid Boping doesn't know yet. How is the situation of the Cao family that you protected back then?"

"Uh... my nephew has been busy making a living these years, so I really don't know much about it."

"Then you have heard of the name Cao Sanpian?"

Kuaizheng was startled, nodded and said, "Cao Sanpian's [-]-character strange prose, my nephew can recite it backwards fluently. My nephew is also familiar with the three-character classic and disciple rules, so of course I know it."

"Then you've heard of Fuzhilou?"

"Oh, I know." Kuaizheng showed a shy look on his face, "My nephew has heard the name of the deer pattern paper for a long time, but it's a pity that I didn't get to see it."

Kuai Liang said: "Then let me tell you, Cao Sanpian is the son of the Cao family back then.

And that Fuzhi Building is just an industry under his name.Now, the Cao family has risen. Back then, Cao Ji was the son of Yin Mo, and the swords he made were sought after by all people in the world.He is now the official governor of Liangzhou... The son of the Cao family is appointed by the imperial court and the prefect of Nanyang. "

hiss!
Kuai Zheng could not help but gasp.

He felt that a gust of energy rushed straight to the top of his head, and then quickly spread throughout his body.

He finally understood why Kuai Liang summoned him, and why he was so kind to him... It wasn't about Kuai Zheng, but what Kuai Zheng did in those years, and now Kuai could see huge benefits.The son of the Cao family is Cao Sanpian, the new Nanyang prefect?
Salted fish reborn!

Kuai Zheng knew that this time, he was really reborn...

"I want you to go to Wuyin and visit Cao Youxue in your personal capacity.

For this visit, if you need any support, just explain.I have ordered someone to prepare a hundred gold for you... My request is to stay with Cao Peng.I don't ask you to get an official position, but at least find a way to join Cao Peng's shogunate and maintain your friendship with Cao Peng.

Boping, would you like to go? "
