Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 369
Seeing Zhong Liqing being so aggressive, Su Ruyi naturally quit. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, how can she be a good-natured person?
"I think you're crazy!" She cursed loudly, her face full of disbelief, "What am I doing to pick up that little bastard of yours?" She wished that the little bastard would never come back for the rest of her life.
Zhong Liqing only thought that she was guilty of being a thief, and stepped forward to forcefully ask: "Then tell me, what did you send Zhao Zhong and the others to do?"
Su Ruyi snorted coldly: "It's not up to you to take care of what I'm going to do, but you, why insist that I sent someone to pick him up...could it be that little bastard disappeared?"
Speaking of this, she suddenly realized, her brows were raised upside down in anger, and she pointed at Zhong Liqing and cursed: "Okay, you, what you said just now was deliberately trying to trick me, right? How dare you doubt me?"
"If you want to be unknown, you have to do nothing. The people who picked up Yu'er held the tokens of the county lord's mansion, and they were dressed the same as the people in the mansion no matter how they were dressed. If it wasn't the people you sent, who would it be? "Zhong Liqing no longer pretended, and the expression on his face was cold.
"Then how do I know? It's my fault that you can't see him? Don't say that I didn't send someone to pick him up. Even if I did it, what can you do? I just don't like him. Are you satisfied with killing him?" Su Ruyi raised her head, her face full of provocation.
"It's really not you?" Seeing her like this, Zhong Liqing calmed down instead.He could also see that when Su Ruyi spoke, there was only anger and sarcasm, but as for guilt, there was nothing at all.
"Ha, what else do I want to ask you? Why do you always think it's me? Did someone say something in front of you?" Su Ruyi felt baffled. She had come back full of anger, but now she was wronged indiscriminately. , is even more on fire.
Zhong Liqing was a little embarrassed, so she repeated what Ma Shun had said to him.Now he also found that he was a little impulsive just now. In fact, there are still many doubts about this matter.The biggest doubt was the reaction of Butler Xu.
Ma Shun and the others were not familiar with him, seeing his behavior, they thought he was heartbroken.But Zhong Liqing has been with him for a few years, so it can be said that he is very familiar with his temper, and the way he looks in front of Ma Shun is clearly acting.
He was in a hurry before and didn't notice this. Now that he thinks about it, they should have been put together by that old guy. If Yu'er really sent someone to pick him up, the old guy must have come to make trouble in the county lord's mansion. He has always They put Kou's affairs first.
After listening to what he said, Su Ruyi gritted her teeth and cursed angrily: "It's just a conjecture without any evidence, and you can force me to ask me like this? I can see it. Although you usually tell me There are so many sweet words, but in fact, in your heart, I am no match for that little bastard, right?"
Zhong Liqing immediately shook her head: "You are the most important thing. If I value him the most, why have I ignored him for the past three years? I picked him up for another purpose."
Su Ruyi heard the words and recalled it, he didn't seem to have mentioned that little bastard much in the past three years, and naturally it was even more impossible to visit him, as if he never sent anyone to deliver anything there.
She didn't notice anything before, and combined with what happened today, she actually felt a little bit cold, and couldn't help but doubt her original decision again.Would such a man, a man who didn't even care about his own flesh and blood, be sincere to her?
Su Ruyi stared blankly at Zhong Liqing, she couldn't remember why she had to marry Zhong Liqing in the first place.She only remembered that Zhong Liqing had never told her that he had a wife before he came to the capital, and she didn't know until the day of his marriage that the woman made a fuss.For such a person, which one of his words is true and which is false?
Zhong Liqing didn't know what was going on in Su Ruyi's mind, and she was still explaining why he wanted to bring Zhong Liyu back.
He said that he took Zhong Liyu back just to make friends with Kou Jing, because Kou Jing had always misunderstood him deeply.If Zhong Liyu is picked up by him, then both Kou Jing and Butler Xu will be afraid of him.
……
The reason why Zhong Liqing behaved like this started when the county lord's mansion demoted Kou Rou's wife to a concubine.
At that time, he was an examiner who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but because he failed the exam unfortunately, he went to the temple to relax.There, he met Su Ruyi, the daughter of County Lord Jiahui.After Su Ruyi was rescued by him, she fell in love with him at first sight, which greatly satisfied Zhong Liqing's vanity.
But he already has a wife and children, even if a beautiful woman falls in love with him, he will not be blessed to accept it.But one of his friends persuaded him that in the future, he will become a leader and become a leader. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone such a noble woman who wants to marry him on her own initiative.
You know, this girl's mother is the head of Jiahui County, and the head of Jiahui County is the daughter of King Kang, who is the current cousin and a proper relative of the emperor.As long as you can get married with his family, why don't you worry about the day of prosperity?
Zhong Liqing was moved by the persuasion, and accepted Su Ruyi's overture without much struggle, and the two soon reached the point of discussing marriage.
What Zhong Liqing didn't expect was that on the night of his wedding banquet with Su Ruyi, his wife Kou Rou came to his door.After Kou Rou exposed the fact that he was already married on the spot, she broke up with him in front of everyone, claiming that she would never see each other every year.
Seeing that a good marriage was about to be ruined, County Mistress Jiahui naturally couldn't just watch the County Mistress's Mansion become a laughing stock, so when Kou Rou was leaving, she was arrested and held in the woodshed, waiting for the guests to disperse. After going, he took her to the hall again.
In order to restore the reputation of the county lord's mansion, they want Kou Rou to admit that she followed Zhong Liqing without name or reason.Naturally, Kou Rou would not be willing to tarnish the reputation of the Kou family. If the Kou family had a promiscuous daughter, the girls in the entire clan would probably lose their heads, so she refused on the spot.She also said that if the county lord's mansion dared to force her, she would kill her head-on here, and then someone would seek justice for her.
Seeing her fierce appearance, the people in the county lord's mansion hated her so much that they didn't know what to do with her.Later, it was Zhong Liqing who threatened Zhong Liyu, saying that if Kou Rou did not agree to their request, then he would take Zhong Liyu away, and the mother and child would never see each other again, so Kou Rou agreed to the idea of degrading herself to concubine. Preserve the reputation of the county lord's mansion.
Master Kou was distressed by what happened to his daughter, so he had a heart of revenge, and handed over a letter, revealing that Zhong Liqing forged his household registration and participated in the rural examination in a different place.Zhong Liqing thought that she had done a perfect job in this matter, but she didn't expect to be found out by Mr. Kou, and handed over the evidence to the Department of Education of Ganzhou Prefecture.
Because of the conclusive evidence, even if the county lord exerts pressure with the power of the Kang County Prince's Mansion, Zhong Liqing can only be exempted from being imprisoned, and his reputation as a scholar will inevitably be dismissed, and he will not be allowed to enter the examination room for ten years.
This move is equivalent to directly ruining Zhong Liqing's official career, and it also laid a hidden danger for Kou Jing to go to Beijing to rush for the exam.When the news that Kou Jing was disfigured when she went to Beijing to rush for the exam back then, Mr. Kou fell seriously ill as soon as the news came back to Yuanshan County.He knew in his heart that the reason why Kou Jing suffered such a catastrophe should be related to Zhong Liqing.But the capital city is thousands of miles away, and without evidence, there is nothing he can do about it.Master Kou believed that he had never done anything wrong in his life, but his sons and daughters were so miserable, and he passed away under depression.
After Zhong Liqing got the news, although he was happy to get his revenge, his official career was cut off.Because he is just a commoner, the people in the county lord's mansion don't respect him at all, and even Su Ruyi, who was originally committed to him, looks down on him more and more because of this.
Later, Zhong Liqing became a counselor under the son of a certain prince's mansion, because he came up with a lot of ruthless ideas to eliminate many serious troubles for that son and was reused.The emperor paid off, that son finally became a prince, only one step away from the supreme position, and Zhong Liqing's status has also risen, just waiting for the day when his master ascends the throne, let him also enjoy one person under ten thousand Infinite scenery above people.
However, in order to seek great power, it is useless to rely on some intrigues and tricks, and it requires the support of military and financial resources.Right now, Kou Jing is in the eyes of the emperor because of Qiuwei's rescue in the hunting field. If he doesn't mend the relationship while he is still fledgling, there will be endless troubles.
Moreover, Zhong Liqing also knew that the Kou family's financial resources were not trivial.During Kou Rou's five or six years in the county lord's mansion, she never spent a cent on them.In addition, she also owns a few shops that are making a lot of money every day. It is no exaggeration to say that even the private houses of Jiahui County and his wife combined may not be as many as hers.
A married woman has such a wealth, the Kou family's financial resources can be imagined, although it is not as rich as a country, but it can be regarded as a wealthy party.If Zhong Liqing hadn't accidentally turned over Butler Xu's account book, I'm afraid the Kou family, who has always kept a low profile, would have so much money.
Zhong Liqing stayed in the Kou family for several years, so he naturally knew the fate of Kou Jing's six relatives. He felt that with Kou Jing's personality, he would never marry a wife and have children in this life.That is to say, these things should all belong to Zhong Liyu in the end.
It's inevitable that Zhong Liyu didn't agree with him after leaving for too long, and Zhong Liqing just arrived at the three-year appointment, so she was anxious to bring Zhong Liyu back.
……
The next day, Zhong Liqing came outside the Shenji camp, claiming that she was the brother-in-law of their commander, Kou Jing, and wanted them to pass the news on their behalf.
In fact, he wanted to go to Kou Jing's mansion to talk, but since Kou Jing proposed to take Zhong Liyu away, he ordered his servants not to let him in no matter what he said.He thought, in front of these colleagues, Kou Jing should at least come out to meet him.
But who knows, the servants outside the Shenji camp just gave him a cold look, neither answered nor went in to report.He wanted to say something more, and these people put their weapons directly in front of him, saying, "The military camp is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter."
Zhong Liqing was a little ashamed, but he didn't dare to offend these people, so he could only leave resentfully.
After leaving, he returned to Kou Jing's mansion and asked the concierge to tell Kou Jing that if he didn't see him again, he would go to the court to sue Kou Jing for hiding his son, so that Kou Jing could do it for herself.
That night, Kou Jing returned to the mansion from the Yamen, and sneered after hearing the announcement from the porter, asking him to find Zhong Liqing tomorrow and invite him to the mansion for a talk.
Zhong Liqing thought that Kou Jing was scared, but when he arrived at Kou's mansion, he was dumbfounded by what Kou Jing threw out.
Kou Jing had already received letters from Steward Xu and Chu Ci, both of whom told him that Zhong Liqing seemed to be working for the eldest prince.The difference is that Chu Ci felt that there was something strange about this matter. He thought that Zhong Liqing would not follow the eldest prince and asked him to investigate.
Kou Jing believed in Chu Ci very much, and immediately ordered people to follow up and investigate Zhong Liqing day and night.According to the results of the investigation, although Zhong Liqing was ostensibly advising the eldest prince, in fact, this person secretly colluded with the second prince.If this is true, then Zhong Liqing is a secret.
The reason why Anzi is called Anzi is that he should not be laid out in the sun. If this matter is leaked, Zhong Liqing's life may be in danger. That eldest prince has never been a person who would wrong him.
"I think you're crazy!" She cursed loudly, her face full of disbelief, "What am I doing to pick up that little bastard of yours?" She wished that the little bastard would never come back for the rest of her life.
Zhong Liqing only thought that she was guilty of being a thief, and stepped forward to forcefully ask: "Then tell me, what did you send Zhao Zhong and the others to do?"
