Pu Youren's words were like a bolt from the blue.
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Especially Yin Guangbo, who had a handsome face that looked domineering just now.
At this time, he turned to Xiao Zimu with an expression of disbelief.
Xin Ya also frowned and looked at Xiao Zimu with surprise.
"Why, don't you dare to stab with this sword?" Zheng Zhongguang snorted coldly when he saw Xin Ya's hesitation.
Pu Youren originally thought that as soon as he said these words, Xin Ya had to put down the sword in his hand, and Yin Guangbo's attitude should soften at least.
But now the two of them were looking at another young man at the same time.
Everyone followed their gazes and saw a handsome young man standing there.
Although he was wearing a short brown quail jacket with knots all over his body, he was covered in mud.
But her color is like spring dawn, elegant and pure, her temples are like knife cuts, and her eyebrows are like ink paintings.
"Cousin?" The young man's eyes were full of confusion, cutting his tall figure and the sunlight behind him in half.
"Yes, Mr. Zheng's mother Ju Meishan is the sister of Concubine Lian." Pu Youren heard the young man ask about it and saw that although he was in ragged clothes, he could not conceal his beauty, so he told the truth.
Xiao Zimu vaguely recalled that he had such an aunt, and she was supposed to enter the palace back then.
But at the time of the draft, she had already secretly promised to run away with Zheng Yuanji, a concubine of the Zheng family.
The Ju family had no choice but to let their youngest daughter, who had just grown hair, enter the palace and became the current Concubine Lian.
A few years later, the aunt returned to Beijing with her son and Zheng Yuanji.
The Ju family thought she had lost face and refused to acknowledge her.
It wasn't until Ju Meishan came to Yaohua Palace to visit his mother-in-law a few years ago and he happened to bump into her that he heard his mother mention that he had such an aunt.
And when this aunt went to the palace to visit Concubine Lian, she also wanted to find a good job in the capital for her son who had just become pregnant.
Although Xiao Zimu was still young at that time, he once advised his mother and concubine not to place these relatives in the capital.
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law loved the sister she had grown up with, and she was eventually arranged to live in Guwan.
The world is full of tricks, and for the first time in these years, he fell in love with someone who had murderous intentions.
He's actually his cousin...
"The Ju family hasn't allowed you to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan until now. It's really a wise decision." There was a trace of self-mockery on Xiao Zimu's lips.
"Grandpa said it out of anger. We are connected by blood. He cannot deny it. I am the cousin of His Highness Seventh Prince. There is no doubt about it." Zheng Zhongguang saw that the young man not only disdained what Pu Youren said, but also revealed this secret in one word. I couldn't help but refute it.
When Xin Ya and Yin Guangbo saw Xiao Zimu's expression as if he had eaten a fly, they knew that this was indeed true.
The two looked at each other with complicated emotions.
Yin Guangbo thought, relying on Xiao Zimu's support, he was talking nonsense here, but the person who had been questioning him for a long time turned out to be His Highness's cousin.
The sword in Xin Ya's hand was also unsteady. It was okay that it was someone else. This was his master's cousin. The blood mark on his neck was caused by his own attack just now.
Most of the people in the hospital were already in a state of confusion. Some of them had just heard that Zheng Zhongguang was not only a high-ranking official, but also supported by people in Beijing.
Who would have thought that the people supporting him were actually Concubine Lian and His Highness the Seventh Prince in the palace.
What they didn't even expect was the young man in front of them.
So far, Wei Wei has not shown any fear, and even looked at Zheng Zhongguang with a rather complicated expression on his face, with a mocking look on his face.
"If you don't put down the sword, you will be captured." Zheng Zhongguang frowned. He froze here for a long time, being pointed at with a sword, not daring to move at all.
Now that he was forced to reveal his secret life experience, this man still refused to put down his sword, which made him angry and angry.
Unexpectedly, the man holding the sword seemed not to hear anything, and just looked at the young man inquiringly, as if waiting for his instructions.
Zheng Zhongguang looked at the handsome young man and was about to reprimand him, but saw that his brows were not moving and he ordered calmly: "Take it down."
Upon hearing this, Xin Ya neatly sheathed his sword, took a slight step forward, swept to Zheng Zhongguang's back, and clasped his hands behind his back.
"I can't do it."
"Absolutely not."
"Young hero, let go."
When everyone saw this, their hearts jumped into their throats.
"You are so brave, you are crazy." Pu Youren shouted at the young man in shock.
"Presumptuous." The young man raised his eyebrows slightly and opened his white teeth.
Although the words were spoken softly, they were suddenly suppressed and everyone held their breath and became silent.
The adults were overwhelmed by the awe-inspiring majesty and looked at each other.
It took a moment to realize how he had been frightened to the spot by a handsome young man.
"Bold!" Zheng Zhongguang was the first to react.
Although his hands were behind his back at the moment, his life was no longer in danger.
Today was his wedding banquet, and officials from all over Anhui Province flocked here, not just to flatter him in person.
Now, in full view of this group of magistrates and magistrates, in front of his three wives and fourteen concubines, he was given such great embarrassment.
Where will his prestige be in the future!
He had known for a long time that the second-placed Jinke candidate was assigned to Guwan and was about to serve as a state judge.
Prime Minister Du also specially sent someone to give instructions to take good care of the Yinzhou judge.
He originally thought that he would have to wait half a month before meeting.
Unexpectedly, at his son's full-moon banquet today, the servants of the mansion suddenly came to announce that there was a Yinzhou judge outside the door who was on his way to take office, asking to see him.
He already disdained a seventh-grade state magistrate, and Prime Minister Du specially asked him to do so.
Therefore, he was particularly indifferent to him.
Unexpectedly, he had just entered the palace to pay a visit, and he had not given him any trouble, but only gave him a cold look. The Yinzhou judge had taken a preemptive strike, and had ridiculed and even shamelessly labeled himself as a corrupt official. name.
Is he taking bribes
This is obviously an inherent system of officialdom since ancient times!
Zheng Zhongguang has never asked for a penny, ever since he first sat in the position of prefect.
I didn't say hello or ask for anything, they all took the initiative to give me gifts.
He even felt that he was a good official and never felt that he was wrong.
Never!
Today, he is the governor of Guwan.
A dignified third-rank governor, and a relative of the emperor.
After announcing his identity, he could still be held in such humiliating hands. He felt unbearable with shame and anger, and said angrily: "Come here, let me capture them, life or death."
Yin Guangbo was originally worried that Xiao Zimu would harbor Zheng Zhongguang's identity.
Unexpectedly, he actually ordered Xin Ya to take down Zheng Zhongguang in public.
Before Yin Guangbo could speak in awe, he saw the boy beside Xiao Zimu reaching out towards him.
In panic, he blurted out.
"Stop, that is the current Seventh Prince!"
