After checking that there was no one around, Zhang Zhengcheng left quietly and quickly. After all, Nanjing City was now the base camp of Ma Shiying and others, and he had to be careful in every move. If he found out that his cronies were mixed up with Wu Linzheng and others, he might be
Life is not guaranteed!
After closing the door, Shi Bang didn't understand the letter Wu Linzheng wrote immediately. He turned around and asked, "Why did you just give this letter to Zheng Chenggong? He is only a twenty-year-old boy, what can he do?"
effect?"
But it seemed that Ni Yuanlu already understood the reason. However, when he heard Shi Bang's question, he didn't say anything and just chuckled.
Faced with Shi Bang's doubts, Wu Linzheng suddenly felt that he was overwhelmed with anger and explained: "Who is Zheng Chenggong's father?"
Hearing this, he thought Wu Linzheng was teasing him on purpose. Shi Bang was a little angry: "I mean, Wu Linzheng, who doesn't know who Zheng Chenggong's father is? Are you teasing me on purpose?"
"Look at you!" Wu Linzheng also laughed a little angrily. This Shi Bang is really stupid, and he is indeed suitable to be a censor. Then he said: "Since you know who Zheng Chenggong's father is, why don't you think about the reason yourself? Why do you still think so?
ask me?"
Shi Bang, who wanted to continue to accuse, suddenly reacted and his face changed instantly, and he said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Wu, I may have been so angry that I didn't expect it."
But Wu Linzheng and Ni Yuanlu just looked at each other, laughed angrily a few times, and then became speechless.
Here, Zhang Zhengcheng also suppressed his inner uneasiness and fear and came to the school overnight. When he arrived, it was already dark. In order not to be discovered, as a scholar, he planned to climb over the wall for the first time. After passing the half-way
After Shichen's Jiannu climbed over the wall, he finally climbed in without any danger.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue groping in, he suddenly heard a shout from not far away. He saw someone rushing here with a lantern, and Zhang Zhengcheng, who was frightened, immediately ran away.
Ma Shiying also sent troops to control the Nanjing Academy today, so he must not alert others, let alone be recognized as himself. But he is a scholar after all, and just climbing over the wall has consumed a lot of his energy, and he was chased by the people behind him soon.
When they came up, the two immediately fell together and started fighting.
"Who are you? Why did you climb over the wall in the middle of the night?"
The person guarding the hospital was also blocked by the night, and could not subdue Zhang Zhengcheng for a while. When Zhang Zhengcheng heard this, he was even more afraid of being caught, and quickly used all his strength to knock the man unconscious. But as a scholar, he
He failed to escape, let alone face a person with such strength?
Therefore, after several rounds of fighting, both sides were exhausted. Just when the person guarding the hospital felt really annoyed and took out the dagger from behind, he tripped because he didn't see the ground clearly, and his hand
The knife inside was also snatched away by Zhang Zhengcheng.
Looking at the knife in his hand, Zhang Zhengcheng felt a little scared. He had never killed anyone before. Now faced with such a situation, he did not dare to swing the knife easily. If he killed someone, it would be really bad luck.
Seeing that Zhang Zhengcheng was so timid, the guard did not dare to step forward. He concluded in his heart that this man must be a scholar, so he was no longer afraid and immediately stepped forward to seize the dagger. Another fight broke out between the two. During the dispute, Zhang Zhengcheng could not
Pay attention and stab the man's chest with the dagger, only to see a stream of blood spurting out.
It splashed all over him, and the dagger was left in Hu Yuan's body. Watching himself being stabbed, and at the end of his life, Hu Yuan pointed at Zhang Zhengcheng and fell down unwillingly. The lantern on the side was also struck.
The candle inside immediately burned the surrounding dead grass after being stepped on, and the fire quickly ignited.
Knowing that he could not stay here for long, Zhang Zhengcheng immediately ran towards the dormitory behind the school. The rapidly burning fire quickly attracted the attention of others. Soon, many people were awakened from their sleep by the sound of countless fire-fighting sounds.
, carrying buckets of money one after another to put out the fire.
Zheng Chenggong was a light sleeper and was quickly awakened by the shouts of people around him. Just when he was about to put out the fire with his classmates, he saw a man covered in blood. Maybe it was night time and he couldn't see the blood stains on his clothes clearly.
, but he has followed his father since he was a child and has experienced a lot.
A slight sniff revealed that there must be blood on this person's body.
He immediately stepped forward to restrain the man and held him down tightly. Then he asked loudly: "Tell me! Who are you? Why are you covered with blood? Did you cause the fire in the yard?"
The one who was restrained was naturally Zhang Zhengcheng, who had sneaked in just now. At this time, he had no idea that the person he was looking for was on top of him. But he didn't know that this person was Zheng Chenggong, and thought he was the nurse, so he didn't answer him.
.
Seeing that this person didn't say anything, Zheng Chenggong searched for it and found a letter from him. After opening it, he found that it was for him. He looked at Zhang Zhengcheng in confusion and asked sharply: "Why is this letter of yours?"
For me? Who are you?"
Upon hearing that the person in front of him was Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Zhengcheng knew that the sky had eyes, and immediately said: "I am here to find you! Someone asked me to deliver this letter to you. I was afraid of being discovered, so I chose to climb over the wall and come in.
But I didn’t expect to be discovered, and a fire accidentally broke out during the fight.”
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Chenggong chose to believe this person and immediately let him go. Zhang Zhengcheng also hurriedly stood up and said without having time to slap himself: "A loyal minister of the imperial court asked me to forward this letter to you. Please be sure to read it and don't let anyone else tell you."
See. It’s about the survival of the imperial court, you are our savior! You must help us!”
Just when Zheng Chenggong wanted to ask further, there was a sudden noise outside. Zheng Chenggong suddenly felt something bad, and quickly went to check and found that there were many soldiers coming here, and he guessed that they must be here to find him.
of.
"Go away! Someone is coming to arrest you! Hide in my room, they won't find you."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhengcheng could not help but be shocked. He also saw the menacing soldier along the door. He wanted to listen to his words and hide in, but suddenly thought that if he was discovered, Zheng Chenggong would definitely be suspected or even arrested. It would be inevitable.
All the previous efforts were in vain. Without saying a word, he quickly ran back with his heart in a panic.
While running, he didn't forget to shout: "Boy, come after me!" After that, he climbed over the wall and walked away.
This sound naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers, who rushed here immediately. Zheng Chenggong, who was shocked by Zhang Zhengcheng's actions, immediately put away the letter. He knew that Zhang Zhengcheng's actions were to protect himself, and he couldn't help but respect him.
"Where is that person?"
The soldiers rushed over and asked Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to point in the direction, and the soldiers immediately chased after him.
Watching their departing figures, Zheng Chenggong suddenly felt guilty rising in his heart. Recalling the drastic changes in the court today, he guessed that it was the treacherous officials who had done it.
In the end, Zhang Zhengcheng still did not escape the pursuit and was sent to Ma Shiying that night. As you can imagine, after learning that the person he trusted most had betrayed him, Zhang Zhengcheng was ordered to be executed in a cold manner, and almost all his family members were also killed together.
When he heard this heavy news, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
