Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 19 019: Shame (Part 2)

Shen Tang almost choked on the unswallowed tea.

"Ahem—Yuan, so this is the truth about Gong's family being ransacked and exterminated?" Looking at what Qishan said, Shen Tang felt that Gong's was really not upright and innocent, "Knowing that Zheng Qiao is a traitor, he let the tiger go back." Shan, never thought that there would be a day of revenge by him?"

Not everyone in this world will repay their kindness.

What happened to Zheng Qiao in Xin Guo was completely a shame and a great humiliation. At that time, he was weak and had to make compromises. Now that he is the lord of the Geng Kingdom, once he has developed and gained strength, the hatred in his heart is like a volcanic eruption, and the black history has become an existence that needs to be wiped out.

Qi Shan said: "Well, I don't know."

Shen Tang teased: "I thought Mr. knew everything."

Although it is a crossing at the beginning of the difficulty of hell, Qishan, the "guiding NPC", is very conscientious and has a five-star praise!

Qishan pretended to be surprised, and pretended to say: "I am honored to be so highly regarded by Mr. Shen Xiaolang."

Shen Tang: "..."

She couldn't compare to Qi Yuanliang in terms of face, so she lowered her head and ate tea tactically, but Qi Shan secretly observed Shen Tang's reaction while drinking tea—he had always been curious about the relationship between Mr. Shen Xiaolang and the Gong family? He just heard that Zheng Qiao's revenge was the source of Gong's extermination, Mr. Shen Xiaolang was neither indignant nor disgusted, just flat, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

But how could this be irrelevant?

If it is said that Mr. Shen Xiaolang is cold and ruthless, how could he run around in the rainy night last night for a fool who met only once?

This person's reaction was completely beyond common sense and logic.

Because the Geng soldiers hadn't left yet, Shen Tang didn't want to go out to attract attention at this time, so he asked the owner of the tea shop to refill a pot of tea, and the two continued to stay in the tea shop to pass the time, while inquiring about the identity of the prisoners on the prison van.

The shopkeeper looked back timidly, peeked at the soldiers outside the tea shop, and said in a low voice, "It is said that it is Yushi Zhongcheng..."

Shen Tang murmured puzzled and looked at Qishan again: "Censor Zhongcheng?"

Don't blame her for being illiterate, as a person with amnesia, I really don't know.

Qishan: "The censor Zhongcheng's surname is 'Tian' as mentioned by the store?"

"It seems that the surname is 'Tian'? Those military masters are still cursing about 'an old man surnamed Tian', 'What about Yushi Zhongcheng' and so on." The old soldiers at the city gate could easily kill these ordinary people. He added a pot of tea to Shen Tang, and sighed, "Don't be curious, you two, so as not to die!"

The people of Xin and Geng were at war, and the people of the two countries were the most affected. The people of Geng were a little bit better, except that the tax was half as high as before, which oppressed them so much that they couldn't breathe, but at least they couldn't die of hunger, and the people of Xin were miserable. up.

The main battlefield of the two countries is Xin Guo.

The people of Xin State not only had to drain blood to provide military supplies and food for Xin State to fight, but also faced the burning, killing and looting of Geng State soldiers.

I thought it would calm down for a while after the battle, but who knew that the Lord of the Geng Kingdom adhered to the principle of "don't lose money to your brothers" and allowed his subordinates who fought against him to do evil everywhere.

The people trembled when they saw the Geng soldiers.

Seeing that the two gentlemen were good-looking and handsome, the shopkeeper couldn't help reminding them, lest the two younger generations be reckless and lose their lives.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, we have a sense of proportion." Qishan smiled and accepted the shopkeeper's kindness, and when the shopkeeper went to other places to be busy, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression, "Yushi Zhongcheng is the chief of Yushitai. Gongqing Zhangzou, picket officials."

Shen Tang had a tacit understanding: "So that Yushi Zhongcheng impeached Zheng Qiao a lot? I guess he offended people enough..."

Thinking of the swearing just now that was full of anger and made people fully appreciate the charm of language art, how could Zheng Qiao let this one go?

Qishan sighed: "It's not just as simple as offending..."

"What else did that Yushi Zhongcheng surnamed Tian do?"

"I heard that the censor Zhongcheng has an upright character. He abides by the law to investigate and avoid everything. It doesn't matter whether you are a public official or someone else. If you are caught by him, you will be impeached. Naturally, Zheng Qiao will not be missed. Since Zheng Qiao became the favorite of Xin Guoguo's lord, and this censor Zhongcheng was the most scolded among all the officials, and even used a horse to block Zheng Qiao's way to go to court, cursing in front of the people."

Shen Tang said: "Don't you give me any face?"

Qishan: "No. After that, from all the officials in the capital to the common people, who doesn't know what superior Zheng Qiao is relying on? When Zheng Qiao returns to the country, Yu Shi Zhongcheng is also the most opposed. He asserts that if this son is allowed to return to the country , that is, the tiger returns to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles, and the nineteen recitals in a row are all begging the Lord Xin to execute Zheng Qiao."

Hearing this, Shen Tang already guessed the end of Yushi Zhongcheng's family, she said: "Once Zheng Qiao turned over, Yushi Zhongcheng's family... No, the whole family will have a hard time..."

Gong Shi had helped Zheng Qiao at any rate, but he ended up with a death, a distribution, let alone Yu Shi Zhongcheng.

Qishan said, "Not only."

"Any other grudges?"

"Before Zheng Qiao returned to the country, Yu Shi Zhongcheng called on his disciples and family members who were officials in the court to play together and implored the Lord Xin to execute Zheng Qiao, and the Lord was also under pressure and... He also had opinions on Zheng Qiao and had a murderous intention. of……"

I heard that the imperial order has been written and is just waiting to be issued.

It's just that Zheng Qiaoqi learned the information ahead of time, and managed to eliminate the crisis invisible, and fled back to Geng Kingdom overnight.

If he received the news later, he would be dead.

Shen Tang: "..."

What should I say?

"This story tells us that when cutting weeds, we must get rid of the roots, and when the disease is fatal, we should start in advance to avoid long nights and dreams."

Listening to Shen Tang's serious "learn a lesson", Qi Shan's mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Just took a sip of tea, but heard the prisoner crying like blood from outside the tea shop, followed by the prisoner yelling in tears: "You are too much of a bully! You are too much of a bully! Zheng Qiao, you are so rich! How dare you do that—how dare you!"

Shen Tang turned his head to look outside the teahouse.

"What happened again?"

Qishan got up and went to the door of the tea shop to inquire in a low voice, and came back with a cold face after a while, and the aura around his body was chilling: "Zheng Qiao ordered the Lord Xin to lead the old ministers to formally surrender..."

Shen Tang was surprised: "I thought I had already surrendered..."

"There is still a ceremony, Zheng Qiao values ​​this most."

"But if you lose, you will surrender. Isn't this normal? Xin Guo has been destroyed and the overall situation has been settled. Why is the prisoner's emotional reaction so strong? The prisoner was beaten to death, and he didn't beg for mercy or cry. Such a certainty It's just crying like this..."

There must be something hidden in it.

Qi Shan clenched his hands hanging by his sides, his throat rolled, and his voice trembled imperceptibly. He closed his eyes tightly and then opened them again, calmly said: "The imperial seal has been lost for a long time, Zheng Qiao was furious, and forced the king of Xin to give the throne to the only concubine under his knee..."

Shen Tang asked with his eyes: "Then?"

It was the humiliation of changing the name to "Chongtai", and it was forcing people to give up their position to Wang Ji. Zheng Qiao is a fox, and there are a lot of coquettish manipulations.

Qi Shan looked complicated, and continued: "...Then Wang Ji will perform the ceremony of face-binding the jade, reveal the [body], and lead all the officials to surrender and surrender..."

Shen Tang: "..."

Face-tied title Bi refers to the ritual of surrender with hands tied behind their backs and jasper in the mouth.
