After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

Li Susu saw that after she finished speaking, Li Zheng knelt in front of her and kowtowed to herself.she said puzzledly

"Lord Li Zheng, there is no need to be polite. My father has been convicted and I have moved out of the Marquis' Mansion and become a commoner. We will be here on Mother's Day from now on, so I need you to take more care of me."

Li Zheng did not get up. He continued to kneel on the ground and said:

"Madam, it is impossible for the general to surrender to the enemy and treason. I believe in the general's character. He was definitely framed by a treacherous villain."

Li Susu never expected that she would meet someone who could trust her father here.

In this world where everyone pushed down the wall, even the Hou Mansion was not spared, and he was kicked out of the Hou Mansion.I didn't expect that someone here could speak for a convicted person, and this suddenly narrowed the distance between the two.He said to him:

"Do you really believe that my father was framed by an adulterer?"

When Li Zheng said this, he raised his head and said to Li Susu:

"Madam, I have been following the General for more than 20 years. Can I not know what kind of person he is?"

Li Susu looked at him in surprise and said:

"What did you say?"

Li Zheng slowly said to Li Susu:

"Madam, I joined the army at the age of 15 and went to the border of the Western Regions. I was spotted by the general and became a guard under him. I have been working for 20 years. The general was considerate of his subordinates and allowed me to retire and return to my hometown to marry a wife and have children. Even my current life It was also recommended by the general. Although he is not a high-ranking official and well-paid, it is much better than ordinary people to support a family in the countryside. I am always grateful for his thoughtfulness, which allows me to make a living now that I have two children. The general’s love for me I will never forget your kindness. Therefore, no one knows better than me what kind of person a general is. Even if someone surrenders to the enemy and commits treason, I believe that the general will not do it. Those Tatars in the Western Regions have long regarded our Xuanwu Dynasty as He is a piece of fat meat and has repeatedly invaded our border. If the general had not been there to guard and resist with all his strength to push back those Tatars, there would be no prosperity for the Xuanwu Dynasty today. Such a loyal minister and good general who is loyal and dedicated to protecting his family and country, The current emperor actually listened to the slander of the treacherous Hu Gao and killed the entire Li family. It really chilled the hearts of those loyal ministers and good generals. Even these loyal ministers and good generals who fought tooth and nail to protect their families and the country ended up like this. Let's see who will do it in the future. He would even sacrifice his own life and work desperately for the imperial court."

When Li Susu heard what he said, she burst into tears thinking of the tragic end of the Li family.She didn't expect to meet her father's subordinates here. She helped Li Zheng up from the ground and said to him:

"Thank you for your affirmation of his old man. I also believe that my father would not be able to do such a thing as surrendering to the enemy and treason. Now the loyal minister has been wronged and my whole family of the Li family has been killed. But no one in this court is willing to stand up for his old man. The one who spoke. It's really heart-breaking that my father, who served his country loyally, ended up like this."

Li Susu became more and more angry as she talked, and now she finally met someone who could let her express her feelings.These days, for the sake of her son, she has forced herself to suppress this huge grief in her heart, and now she finally found a breakthrough to vent her heart.She cried so much that she almost fainted and fell to the ground. Jiang Chen quickly stepped forward to support her and let her sit down on the stool. Mother Wang was beside her and cried with her.

Jiang Chen turned around and stepped forward, saluted Li Zheng and said:

"My mother is too sad to see that you are my grandfather's old friend. Let her have a rest. Li Zheng, what should we do with those dead people?"

Li Zheng stood up and said to Jiang Chen:

"Do you know who sent these people to kill you?"

Jiang Chen said:

"Nine times out of ten, it was my half-brother who sent us to kill us. But there is no evidence to prove that it was him who sent us, so it's hard to say directly that he did it."

Li Zheng sighed and said:

"Now is a special period. The whole court thinks that the general has surrendered to the enemy and treason. Even if you know that he is the one who sent you to kill you, the government will not seek justice for the children of a guilty minister. The imperial court has not punished my wife. I'm worried about Marquis Dingyuan. If things get too big, it will cause a lot of trouble for you. I think so. Why don't I just say that a group of robbers broke into the house and robbed it, and you beat it to death, so that the government will be happy to go to the superiors. Please accept the reward for your merit. Do you think this is feasible, Master?"

Jiang Chen thought about it and felt that now was really not the time to compete with Jiang Feng.Since he had no witness, what could he do to him, so he said to him:

"Since you are also related to grandpa, it's all up to you. We will listen to you."

In this way, the village chief thought that bandits broke into the farmers' houses and stole them. When they were discovered, they were all beaten to death.Reported to Jing Zhaoyin.

This Jingzhao Yin was originally the brother-in-law of Prime Minister Hu Gao, and his surname was Fan Mingtong.Relying on her sister's nepotism, she obtained an official position in Jing Zhaoyin from her brother-in-law Hu Gao.

In ancient times, Jing Zhaoyin's official position seemed small, but his power was considerable.

All the princes, nobles and dignitaries in the entire capital city.All matters are within his control.

He relied on the power in his hands and direct channels to Prime Minister Hu Gao to amass wealth.Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of wealth just by relying on this extra income.

Today he saw the official document reported below. There were robbers in the village armed with murderous weapons. They entered houses at night and robbed them. In the end, they were all beaten to death.

He was curious about what kind of villagers could actually kill a robber armed with a murder weapon.

If this is the case, I will have another chance to claim credit from my superiors.After changing the official document to read a request for help, he led his troops to encircle and suppress the enemy. He commanded effectively and everyone fought bravely, annihilating all the thieves in one fell swoop.

In this way, not only can one's performance be improved, but the bounty from above will definitely not be small.

When he thought that he could make a lot of money from this, a greedy smile immediately appeared on his face.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to lead all the officers and soldiers to the scene of the accident.

When he arrived at the village, Li Zheng was already waiting at the entrance of the village and brought everyone to the courtyard where Jiang Chen was.

Fan Tong ordered his men to identify who was behind them and carry out the dead bodies in the yard first.Then he ordered Li Zheng and said:

"You are the leader of this village, right? Call the people in this family and tell them that the thieves were killed by the officers and soldiers I brought here. Tell them not to talk nonsense to everyone after they go out. Do you hear that?"

Li Zheng knew the rules of officialdom. He nodded quickly and said to Fan Tong:

"Don't worry, sir. I know what to say to them. It won't affect your ability to claim credit and receive the reward."

Just as he was talking, Jiang Chen and Ah Fu came to Fan Tong.Fan Tong originally thought that the man who could kill several fierce robbers must be a strong man.

Who would have thought that standing in front of him would be two frail boys of sixteen or seventeen.

He looked up and down at the two people in front of him in great surprise. He pointed at the dead body that had been carried out and said:

"Did you two beat those robbers to death? With your body bones, you didn't let the robbers crack. Even if you are lucky, you can beat them to death. You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Ah Fu pulled Jiang Chen back, squeezed forward and said to him:

"My lord, it was because I made a mistake and beat those thieves to death because I didn't know the severity. If you want to punish me, punish me alone. This has nothing to do with my son."

Li Zheng quickly scolded Ah Fu in public:

"Don't talk nonsense. It was obviously the adults who led the officers and soldiers to exterminate the thieves. What does this matter have to do with you? Stand back."

Ah Fu cleverly changed his tone and said:

"Yes, yes, it's the thieves that the adults led the troops to destroy. The little ones are talking nonsense. They deserve to die."

Seeing Ah Fu's transformation so quickly, Fan Tong smiled proudly.
