118. The visit of the imperial envoy(1/2)
Jiang Zhen was quite looking forward to the rewards from the court. Although this reward could not have a lot of money, it had a strong symbolic meaning.
Nowadays, in the eyes of the people, the emperor is a supreme existence. It is definitely a great joy to receive the emperor's reward.
Jiang Zhen was very happy, and Zheng Yi said again: "Jiang Zhen, why did you specifically explain that you should not bring Chen Anxin and Feng Jingyuan?"
"I don't like those two." Jiang Zhen admitted directly.
Needless to say, Feng Jingyuan is not right. As for Chen Anxin, Jiang Zhen has made up his mind to not contact this person again.
"I don't like it very much." Zheng Yi said: "Feng Jingyuan is very comfortable to get along with, but that's because he wants me. If something happens to me... he will definitely run the fastest. As for Chen Anxin, he originally thought he could help him up, but the result..." Zheng Yi was a little confused about how to evaluate Chen Anxin. Recently, many people in the Zheng Mansion have been saying that he has suffered from lovesickness, otherwise he would not have been in a daze all day long.
After looking at Jiang Zhen, Zheng Yi thought that Jiang Zhen was afraid that he would not want to see Chen Anxin because he knew something.
He had already deliberately told Chen Anxin about Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin Ge. If Chen Anxin couldn't think about it anymore... Zheng Yi wanted to change his partner.
Neither of them continued on this topic, and at this time, the previous birthday party had already begun.
No matter what banquet you go to in this countryside, you will receive gifts, bring some money or things to you, which is actually just to help the owner's orders - after all, for most families, holding a banquet will drain the family's wealth.
However, Jiang Zhen did not charge any money for Zhao Liu's birthday party this time.
I could have a free meal without giving gifts, and it was full of good wine and good food... When everyone was talking to Zhao Liu, they said more of all kinds of good words, just like they didn't have money.
At this time, Zhou Maohe, who had left Qingfeng Tower, came to Hexi Village with two guards.
He is going to come to Hexi Village to see what is going on here.
Zhou Maohe hired a boat to come. As soon as he came, he saw a very, very grand pier built.
Even the wharf in Hecheng County is much more broken than here. It is just a businessman who actually built such a large wharf...
Zhou Maohe has always disliked businessmen. These people speculate and do everything they can to raise prices. They are so rich that they don’t care about the lives of the people. They are simply worms of the Qin Dynasty!
Seeing this spacious wharf, Zhou Maohe was a little worse than Jiang Zhen when he saw the money earned from the people.
Today, when Zhao Liu's birthday was celebrated, many of Jiang Zhen's subordinates went to the Zhao family. There were a lot of people on the dock. These people still had to work hard, but no one had time to care about Zhou Maohe.
Zhou Maohe looked around, and the more he looked at the lively scene here, the more he became dissatisfied, and then he walked into the village.
At the same time, a man came to the Jiang family, which was the guard beside Chen Anxin, who also sent a letter to Jiang Chengxiang.
Jiang Chengxiang read the letter and became excited: "Mr. Chen wrote a letter, saying that the imperial envoy has come to Hexi Village!"
"Is it really here?" Jiang Chengcai was also a little happy, but soon became worried: "Can we really sue Jiang Zhen?"
"Of course, what can't be done?" Jiang Chengxiang said, but he felt a little uneasy.
If Chen Anxin hadn't repeatedly promised, he would never dare to sue Jiang Zhen. After all, Jiang Zhen is no longer the same.
Jin Zhen Escort Agency now has two or three hundred escorts, and so many people... It is as simple as crushing an ant to kill him...
"Can't we live a good life?" Old Man Jiang sighed. Jiang Zhen's attitude was also very obvious. As long as they didn't cause trouble for him, they would not cause trouble for them. As long as they were more at ease, life would still be able to continue.
"What is this life now?" Old Mrs. Jiang said without thinking. The family was not full or warm in food, but Jiang Zhen could eat and drink spicy food. Just thinking about these things, she felt unbearable and couldn't sleep all night!
She must make Jiang Zhen unlucky!
The Jiang family was worried, but they still agreed to their opinions again and wanted to sue Jiang Zhen.
The people sent by Chen Anxin told them about the general appearance of the imperial envoy. Jiang Chengxiang hid the letter Chen Anxin gave him, then changed into the oldest clothes and went out. He saw Zhou Maohe from a distance and confirmed that he should be the imperial envoy. After staggering, he fell directly in front of Zhou Maohe.
"This little brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Maohe asked worriedly.
"I'm fine..." Jiang Chengxiang struggled to get up from the ground and smiled bitterly: "I'm just hungry."
"Hungry?" Zhou Maohe's eyes flashed with sympathy, and at this time, Jiang Chengxiang, who had just gotten up, fell down again "out of energy".
Jiang Chengxiang was still very young, so he could write and direct the complaint that Boss Jiang bullied him. He was prepared for it now, so he naturally acted better. Zhou Maohe almost immediately believed it.
"Little brother, where is your home? I'll help you back." Zhou Maohe said.
Zhou Maohe finally followed Jiang Chengxiang to the Jiang family.
The Jiang family's house looks pretty good, but the people in the house are dirty and dressed in rags, and look very pitiful. At this moment, Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Chengxiang are still holding their heads and crying...
"My son...is pretty good, why did he come to hit you again?"
"It's not him who hit me, it's his men who don't like me..."
"How could he do this... You are his brother, and he doesn't give you a way out?"
"Mom...he even beat you..."
...
Zhou Maohe came here this time just to find Jiang Zhen’s parents in Hexi Village. Unexpectedly, he found this family as soon as he arrived.
After listening for a while, he asked, "Your surname is Jiang? What does it have to do with that Jiang Zhen?"
"Then Jiang Zhen is my son." Old Mrs. Jiang cried.
Unexpectedly, he happened to find the Jiang family as soon as he came... Zhou Maohe immediately asked about the specific situation.
"Then Jiang Zhen is my eldest son. The day before he was born, his father went to the army. I, a woman, took him with me, lived a very difficult life, and was not very good to him..." Old Mrs. Jiang cried while crying: "He was born badly and was withdrawn. I don't like him, but I raised him. I didn't expect him to hold a grudge against me..."
"It's so outrageous!" Zhou Maohe's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
If a son does not talk about his father's faults, even if he is a parent, he should not disobey his parents. What about Jiang Zhen? Not only did he hurt his parents and brothers, but he forced his parents to split up his family, but he also stole his sister and did not adopt his parents...
These things are so numerous that they are so difficult to write about!
What’s even more annoying is that the Jiang family wanted to seek justice but they had no way to ask for help!
"Today, it is his mother-in-law's fiftieth birthday. All the people in the village were invited except us. As a result, I went to dig wild vegetables before, but I was a little closer to the Zhao family, and I was beaten by the people under him." Jiang Chengcai said, revealing the red mark on his face.
Of course, he was not beaten by Jiang Zhen's men, but by Huang Min. He just said that he wanted to try to do business again, but he was beaten by Huang Min...
Zhou Maohe was already furious, so he stood up suddenly and walked towards the Zhao family's house.
The house built by the dock of Zhao's family was very easy to recognize. After a while, Zhou Maohe arrived there and found that there were many tables at the gate, many people sat there eating and drinking, and looked in... On a table covered with red cloth, there was a golden Guanyin and some other things.
All this can be luxurious!
His life was so luxurious that he left his parents to suffer at home... Zhou Maohe immediately shouted: "Where is Jiang Zhen?"
"Who are you?" Jiang Zhen was greeting guests outside. When he saw Zhou Maohe, he immediately walked over and asked with a frown.
Seeing Jiang Zhen’s appearance, Zhou Maohe had already believed in the words of the Jiang family: “You are not filial to your parents and brothers, and you are not worthy of being a human being!”
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Zhen frowned: "The Jiang family came to you?"
"Do you still know the Jiang family? Do you know they are your parents?" Zhou Maohe said angrily.
"Come, throw him out for me." Jiang Zhen said without hesitation. This is the birthday party of Zhao Liu's family, and he doesn't want to be destroyed by irrelevant people.
As soon as Jiang Zhen finished speaking, his subordinates grabbed Zhou Maohe and his guards and threw the three of them out.
"Stop!" Zhou Maohe was grabbed and his face turned dark. He never expected that he would have such a day of disgrace.
However, how could Jiang Zhen's men listen to him? They threw him out directly.
After throwing the person away, Jiang Zhen returned to the house. There was a separate seat here, and only the Zhao family and Zheng Yi lived here.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Yi asked when he saw Jiang Zhen coming in.
"It's nothing. I've dealt with someone who came to make trouble." Jiang Zhen said. Jiang Chengxiang was talking about his affairs outside. Zheng Baoning mentioned to him that he thought that this person should be similar to that Song Li.
He didn't bother to pay attention to such a person, so he ignored him.
Jiang Zhen didn't take this matter seriously at all, but Zhou Maohe was already trembling with anger. He sorted out his clothes and went to the dock and said to the boatman who sent him: "Go to the city, I want to go to the city!"
"This master, the city is too far away..."
"You send me over, I'll give you a tael of silver!" Zhou Maohe said.
"Master, you're about to be steady!" The ship's family was filled with joy.
Zhou Maohe calmed down a little now, but felt a little distressed. It should be less than a tael of silver to go to Hexing Mansion from here...
Zhou Maohe left Hexi Village, while Jiang Chengxiang and Jiang Chengcai watched him leave.
"Is this man really an imperial envoy?" Jiang Chengcai couldn't help asking.
Jiang Chengcai's expression was also a little entangled. Can this person really help them?
Zheng Yi didn't know that Zhou Maohe, who had been watching him, suddenly came to Hecheng County and left again.
He asked his subordinates to inquire about this person, but among his subordinates, there were only a few who knew Zhou Maohe. Even if the others met Zhou Maohe, they didn't know his identity. Naturally, no one knew that Zhou Maohe had appeared in Hecheng County.
Of course, Chen Anxin knew that Zhou Maohe was deliberately attracted by him.
Thinking of what Zheng Yi said to him a few days ago, Chen Anxin's face turned pale.
Jiang Zhen’s daughter is just a little toothed, and Jiang Zhen is so concerned about him. What about him?
Also, was that incident arranged by Brother Zhao Jin? Did Jiang Zhen suddenly stop coming to the county town these days, was he dragged by him?
Did Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi know something? Why did Zheng Yi tell him what he said?
"Young Master, it's time to eat." Chen Anxin's servant came in from outside and said to Chen Anxin.
"I don't want to eat, you pour it for me." Chen Anxin said. He had no appetite at all. He felt uncomfortable all over, had headaches and chest tightness, and just wanted to stay quietly one by one.
"Young Master, your health is important, so you should eat something?" Chen Anxin's servant was very worried. When he discovered that Jiang Zhen had a concubine, his young master fell seriously ill and changed a lot. What happened this time?
To be continued...
