Chapter 766: A bloody case caused by a chicken

The city of Bianjing was particularly lively at night. Only when the good things happened did I realize that many nervous people suddenly appeared on the street. They appeared in groups, leaving snow marks, followed the map and rushed in. When they arrived at a shop, they broke into the door, and then a group of people flocked in.

The shopkeeper in the store almost screamed: "Do you know whose store this is?"

People often ask, "But the Zheng family?"

The shopkeeper nodded proudly, and then someone was more proud and more vicious than him. He waved his hand: "It's here, smash it!"

Now the entire city of Bianjing knows that King Pingxi and Duke Zheng are in a state of equal strength and are at a slight strife.

The people at the foot of the emperor have never seen such a scene. Usually, those who are above the clouds are not in harmony and do not intensify the contradictions to the clear side. However, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this is a reasonable thing. King Pingxi has always left no room for doing things and often makes a big splash.

Bianjing, which was so overwhelmed by the wind and snow, finally had some vitality. In the cold winter, Qingmei was brewing wine, and several friends made an appointment with Meilin to have a chat. Wouldn’t it be a bit more about drinking?

Yang Jian was called to Wenjing Pavilion early in the morning. Today was a little unusual. Zhao Ji seemed a little angry and said, "Shen Ao's nausea is on the verge of death again!"

Yang Jian coughed, and this cough was just used to cover up embarrassment. In fact, he knew the news last night, but this kind of thing was tacit and he wanted to smash it. What could he do? His Majesty didn't ask, but he just pretended not to know. Since His Majesty asked, he could only pretend not to know.

Zhao Ji said: "Concubine Zheng pestered me all night last night. She is also a pitiful person. What's going on with her family being bullied to this extent?"

Yang Jian could no longer pretend to be crazy and hesitated for a moment, and said, "I heard that the cause of the incident was that the young master of the Zheng family bought a chicken of King Pingxi..."

chicken……

The bloody crime caused by a chicken was something that Zhao Ji had never heard of. He said angrily and amusedly: "When did King Pingxi sell chickens?"

Yang Jian lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Shen Ao has been writing, paintings, opening tea shops, selling wine, and selling chickens today, which is probably reasonable."

This sentence makes sense. If Zhou Zheng goes to sell chickens, it is abnormal. If quartz sells chickens, it will be surprising to people. However, Shen Ao sells chickens, it is simply natural. If he doesn't sell chickens, it will be the sun that hits the west.

Zhao Ji continued: "Buy a chicken...what after that?"

Jingtai Palace, the empress dowager just combed her hair when she woke up early in the morning. When she heard someone outside the palace whispering, saying that Concubine Zheng cried to His Majesty when she was serving in bed last night. When the empress dowager heard this, her eyebrows couldn't help but press down. She summoned Jingde in and asked, "What's wrong with Concubine Zheng?"

Jingde said with a smile: "It is said that my mother's family was bullied and she was still crying at this time. His Majesty was not happy and said that he must vent his anger for Concubine Zheng."

The Empress Dowager looked stern: "Why are you uneasy every few days? Your Majesty favors you. You are her concubine. She married into the palace, but she is in charge of things outside every day."

Jingde said: "I heard that the King of Pingxi beat the Zheng family and brought many people there. He was very aggressive and arrested Concubine Zheng's cousin and even smashed the Zheng family's shop. This matter was too big and there were many discussions everywhere, not only outside the palace, but also in the palace. Concubine Xian was so scared that she apologized to His Majesty early in the morning."

The Empress Dowager's face relaxed a little at this time, and she slowly stood up. She closed her long sleeves with her long empty carved sleeves slightly, and said slowly: "That's amazing. Chen Ao has nothing to do, why are you going to mess with the Zheng surname?"

"A chicken..." When Jingde said this, even Jingde felt incredible. A chicken caused such a big deal, who would believe this? But this chicken really made the whole Bianjing riots and even the people in the palace were not at peace. Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu were one head, Concubine Zheng was another head, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shen Ao were also associated with each other. Concubine Shu was either Zhou Heng or Shen Ao. Concubine Shu was An Ning's mother, and the two noble concubines naturally favored their nephews and son-in-law. But it was their family members who beat Concubine Zheng's family members. Once such a thing happened, the entire palace ban was full of wind and rain. Early in the morning, they were talking about this matter. As slaves, they naturally protected the masters of each family. So some people said that the King of Pingxi was right, and some people said that the Zheng family was truly unpredictable. There were many different opinions, and even the eunuchs in the Carbon House were talking about this.

The queen mother's excellent maintenance face couldn't help but twitch: "A chicken?"

"It's indeed a chicken... The young master of the Zheng family spent 250,000 yuan to buy a chicken."

The Empress Dowager's face became gloomy: "The Zheng family bought a chicken for 250,000 yuan. It turns out that the Zheng family is really a big deal. The Ai family remembered that the last time the King of Jin cried and made a fuss was because of this. The Zheng family is so majestic."

Jingde laughed and said, "As a result, the young master of the Zheng family took the chicken away, but refused to take out the money."

The Empress Dowager was even more displeased: "Since he was trying to show off his magnanimity, he still refused to pay back the debt?"

Jingde smiled and said, "So the King of Pingxi is so angry that the King of Pingxi has never been willing to suffer losses. The Empress Dowager thought about it and found that 250,000 guan is not a small amount. Of course, he had to come to the door. So he led people into Zheng's mansion, beat Master Zheng half to death, demolished the Zheng family, and taught people to smash the Zheng family's shop everywhere."

"Not awesome!" The Empress Dowager paced in the hall, full of majesty: "Two are not awesome. One is not awesome, but he is worth tens of millions of dollars, but he is not a shit. The other is unscrupulous and so arrogant at the feet of the emperor, he is not a good thing."

Jingde smiled embarrassedly: "The nature of King Pingxi is like this. He has never been angry, so he can't take care of anything when he gets angry."

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes: "He went to ask for money. If the Zheng family refused to give it to him, I would like to ask the Ai family to be the leader. Why did he beat people and smash things with such a big fanfare? The royal family was thrown in. Fortunately, he was still the prince-in-law, and he was his favorite minister in front of His Majesty. The Ai family also protected him like this. Go and tell His Majesty that this matter cannot be easily stopped, and asked someone to scold him, and then... a year's salary is fined to serve as a warning to others."

This big *** was raised high, but it was finally slightly lowered. If it were someone else who was scolded by the emperor, I was afraid that I would have been burned and restless. Even if I had not been punished, I was scared to death. But everyone knew that Chen Ao was very thick-skinned. He was probably considered a glorious thing to scold him, and he wanted to show off to everyone. Besides, the fine... that was even more nonsense. If Chen Ao was a poor official of the Imperial Heavenly Prison, the family and the family were pointing at that little salary to live. This fine was enough to teach them that the whole family was unlucky, but who was Chen Ao? He had a big business and was also the regent of the Xixia Prison. Even if he was fined, he would never starve to death.

The Queen Mother’s imperial edict, of course, also implies the meaning of protection. It is said to be severe punishment, but in fact it is just a warning.

But Jingde responded, but his steps didn't even move.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but say coldly, "Why don't you go yet? What are you doing when you stand here?"

Jingde said timidly: "Empress Dowager, I have something to say if I don't know whether to say it or not."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips: "Shiddenly, what's the point of saying?"

Jingde whispered: "I heard that when I was smashing people in the shop, King Jin and King Ping Xi were watching in the carriage. The two of them laughed and shouted loudly together. Many people saw it and heard it..."

The empress dowager's face suddenly loosened. She took a deep breath, slowly sat back on the phoenix and asked, "Is this really true?"

Jingde said: "I don't know what the specific is, but this news must not be groundless."

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and became gloomy and said slowly: "The Ai family has thought about it now. It is natural to repay debts. The Zheng family has a great business. They took someone else's chicken but refused to pay the bill. What is this?"

Jingde followed the Queen Mother's words and said, "It's roughly the same as looting."

The Empress Dowager sneered coldly: "Yes, that's the truth. He is the King of Pingxi. He is also the Regent in Xixia and the Prince of the Consort. How many contributions have he made to my Song Dynasty? Such a person is bullied by the Zheng family so much. The Zheng family is too brave."

Jingdedao: "The Queen Mother means..."

The Empress Dowager interrupted, "The Ai family is meaningless. There must be a public opinion on right and wrong. The Zheng family is wrong first, and they don't pay back the debt. They will steal a chicken. If it were the Ai family, the Ai family would also come to the door. This is also their own fault and they brought a stone to shoot themselves in the foot. The Ai family has always heard that the people of the Zheng family are used to being arrogant. I think this kind of evil deeds of bullying people is quite common. If the one who is Pingxi is the King of Pingxi and an ordinary citizen this time, wouldn't it be said that people would knock their teeth down and swallow them in their stomachs? Shen Ao taught them a lesson and it was considered to be a matter of justice. Although he had done a little too much, it was understandable."

Jingdedao: "The Queen Mother is wise."

The Empress Dowager said leisurely: "As for that Concubine Zheng..." She snorted coldly and sneered: "This woman is also awesome. She actually complained first. A woman was uneasy and made her life. She thought about how to serve Your Majesty and gave birth to a half-long son and phoenix girl for Your Majesty, but she spoke to her mother's family all day to care about the affairs of the outside court. What did Emperor Taizu say when he was there?"

Jingdedao: "The harem must not interfere in politics, and the relatives of the outside world must not abuse the law."

The Empress Dowager sneered: "That's it, but Concubine Zheng can't remember this sentence. Jingde, go to Concubine Zheng and tell him this sentence. You don't have to go there. Ai's family is waiting for news here, go and return quickly!"
