Kuai Zheng, these years have been extremely unsatisfactory...
When Cao Peng's family defected to his son-in-law Deng Ji from Zhongyang Town, he was the magistrate of Jiyang County. At that time, thanks to Kuai Zheng's care, Cao Ji's family quickly settled down in Jiyang. No matter what Kuai Zheng's reasons were,
Although he had great intentions, he did take great care of Cao Peng's family. When Huang She wanted to frame Cao Peng's family, Kuai Zheng initially tried his best to protect Cao Peng and Deng Ji.
However, although Kuai Zheng was born in the Kuai family, he was the son of a concubine from a side branch.
The status in the family is not very high, and cannot be compared with the status of Huang She, the legitimate son of the clan.
Later, Cao Peng and Deng Ji were framed by Huang She at the sunset gathering, but there was no news. Huang She ordered people to arrest Cao Peng's parents and sister, intending to kill them. Kuai Zheng also had a fierce argument with Huang She.
Conflict...Cao Peng kidnapped Cao Ji, killed Deng Cai and Ma Ying, and then went to Xudu. Because of this incident, Kuai Zheng was implicated and was recalled to the Kuai family and was no longer fostered...
Speaking of which, the Kuai family in Xiangyang and the Huang family in Jiangxia are equally comparable.
Because Kuai was the son of a concubine, the Kuai family certainly did not want to offend Huang Zu, who was arrogant at the time, and ruin the relationship between the two families because of him. As a result, Kuai Zheng never recovered and stayed in his hometown for a long time.
It took nearly ten years and even reached the point of running out of resources.
Clan has its own clan rules.
They will not sit back and ignore their tribesmen, but they will not give charity for no reason either.
At first, Kuai Zheng taught in ethnic studies and lived on a meager salary... Those tribesmen who had taken refuge with him left one after another when they saw that he had lost power. When his wife saw that he was in desolation, she returned to her parents' home and never returned. She even returned home.
He asked his mother's family to come forward and broke off the engagement with Kuai Zheng. Now, except for the old housekeeper who had been following him for many years, Kuai Zheng could no longer find anyone who could be considerate.
In the beginning, he was able to make a living by teaching ethnic studies.
But later, Deng Cai's sister, the concubine who was married to Kuai's clan house, encouraged her husband to come forward to embarrass Kuai Zheng. The clan house had always been in conflict with Kuai Zheng, and later she was appreciated by Kuai Liang, and her status in the family increased.
Not low. His appearance forced Kuai Zheng to be unable to gain a foothold in the clan school. In the end, he had no choice but to leave the clan school and opened a small store in Xiangyang City with the old housekeeper.
Although he had food and clothing, he never had the chance to make a comeback.
Ten years!
Kuai Zheng was already disheartened.
But unexpectedly, one day, Kuai Liang sent someone to Xiangyang to find him and asked him to return to his hometown for an audience.
Kuai Zheng felt inexplicably frightened.
Kuai Liang is the legitimate son of the clan, and his status in the clan is second only to the clan leader Kuai Yue. Generally, if there is nothing going on, it is difficult for the clan members to see Kuai Liang. Now that Kuai Liang suddenly wanted to summon him, could something have happened?
Or did someone say something bad about me again?
To be honest, Kuai Zheng's life in recent years has indeed been very unsatisfactory, and can even be described as poverty-stricken.
He couldn't think of anything good that Kuai Liang could do by looking for him... Maybe it was the clan leader who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
In recent years, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
However, when Kuai Liang summoned him, Kuai Zheng naturally could not refuse.
At that time, Cao Peng arrived at Zhongyang Town.
Kuai Zhengze came to Zhonglu County full of fear.
The foundation of the Kuai family's rural party was in Zhonglu of Nanjun, which was later known as Nanzhang, Hubei Province. However, people often call it the Xiangyang Kuai family because the Kuai family had already left Zhonglu and became a wealthy family in Jingxiang. But its clan house,
It was still built in Zhonglu County. As soon as Kuai Zheng arrived at Zhonglu, he realized that something was wrong. First of all, Kuai Liang actually ordered people to wait for his arrival at Shiliting, indicating that the matter must be very important.
The person who greeted him was Kuai Liang's confidant named Kuai Fu.
"Why is it so late for Bo Ping to come? The second master has been waiting at home for a long time."
"Uncle Fu, what is it that requires you to wait personally?"
"Boping, please stop talking and follow me to see the master."
At the end of the New Year, Zhonglu County is bustling with excitement. The county is filled with a joyful atmosphere of the coming New Year...
Kuai Fu led Kuai Zheng into the county town, but suddenly stopped.
"Boping, why are you so thinly dressed?"
In the dead of winter, Kuai Zheng was still wearing shabby autumn clothes. Kuai Fu hesitated for a moment, then took Kuai Zheng and ran to a clothing store in Zhonglu County.
He selected two sets of gorgeous clothes for Kuai Zheng and asked him to change into them.
"Second Master always adheres to this etiquette. If you are dressed shabbily, I am afraid that Second Master will not like it.
Boping, I know you have suffered a lot of grievances in the past ten years. But after all, you are a member of the Kuai clan. Now the second master has important matters to summon you, and you cannot refuse. If this matter can be handled properly, you will only be able to rise again.
In front of you. When you meet the second master later, you must pay attention to your etiquette."
Resurrection?
This sounds like such a strange and distant phrase.
When he first returned to his hometown from Jiyang, Kuai Zheng was also thinking about his resurrection.
But ten years later... the desire for recovery has long been indifferent. He has even made preparations to leave Jingzhou when the old housekeeper dies and seek life outside. As far as the Kuai family is concerned, he is one more person and one less than him.
, it doesn’t seem to have much impact.
"Uncle Fu, what happened?"
"You will understand naturally when you see the master."
A tribesman who had not returned to his ancestral home for several years suddenly returned to his ancestral home under the guidance of Quifo.
Naturally, it caused many people to speculate.
Kuai was in the study of the back house of Kuai's mansion and met Kuai Liang.
The fear in my heart became more and more intense.
"Nephew Kuai Zheng, meet your uncle."
Kuai Liang's face was full of joy, he smiled and pulled Kuai Zheng to sit down.
After a few words of greeting, Kuai Liang suddenly asked: "Boping, I heard someone said that you had good relations with the Cao family in Jiyang?"
Kuai Zheng couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
After all these years, do you still want to settle old scores?
The Huang family in Jiangxia has declined, and it seems that there is no need to hold myself accountable again.
Kuai Zheng hesitated for a moment and said softly: "My nephew was young and energetic at that time and didn't know much about things. It was really unwise to antagonize the Huang family for the sake of a common people. My nephew has often reflected on himself over the years and deeply regrets it.
.This matter... my nephew has explained it to the clan, and I also ask my uncle to forgive me."
Looking at Kuai Zheng's face as pale as paper and the fear in his eyes.
Kuai Liang couldn't help feeling regretful.
What happened back then was not that you were wrong, but that we were wrong... Who would have thought that the young boy of yesteryear would now be the Grand Administrator of Nanyang granted by the imperial court? It seems that Kuai Zheng has had a very unsatisfactory life these years. I don't know.
, how did he have the courage to seek justice for Cao Peng.
"Boping, it's hard to tell right from wrong about what happened in the past.
As far as the family is concerned, Huang Zu is arrogant and is even favored by the governor of the state. Although I, the Kuai family, have settled in Jingxiang for many generations, I have to avoid his influence. I also know that you must have suffered a lot over the years.
It’s a grievance. But no matter what, you are a member of the family. Now that the family has important responsibilities for you, I hope you can forget the unpleasantness of the past and do your best...I can guarantee that I will give you justice."
The implication is nothing more than telling Kuai Zheng that I will avenge you.
As he spoke, Kuai Liang suddenly high-fived and saw Kuai Fu walking into the study holding a brocade box in his hand.
"This is the first justice I will give you, uncle."
"ah?"
Kuai Zheng raised his head in astonishment and looked at Kuai Liang, somewhat unsure of what to do.
Kuai Fu stepped forward and placed the brocade box on the table next to Kuai Zheng. Kuai Zheng hesitated, stretched out his hand, and slowly opened the brocade box...
Suddenly, his pupils dilated and his face became paler.
A bloody smell rushed towards his face.
I saw a human head placed in the brocade box.
The blood on his face had not dried yet, so it was obvious that he had just been killed.
After careful identification, Kuai Zheng immediately recognized that the head was that of the clan's concubine, Deng Cai's sister.
what on earth is it?
He turned to look at Kuai Liang, and saw that Kuai Liang's expression was calm, as if there was no wave in the ancient well.
"The bitch has a long tongue and breaks the laws of our clan. She actually caused Desheng to persecute the clan members. She is really guilty and deserves death."
Kuai Liang didn't even look at the brocade box and said in a deep voice: "As for Desheng, your uncle has sent someone to recall him and decided to remove him from the post of husband and barbarian chief and let him go home and think about it. This is also
This is the second justice given to you, I wonder what Boping thinks?"
Desheng, that is, the clan leader.
Kuai Zheng was stunned!
But he knew very well in his heart that since Kuai Liang had achieved this step, if he refused, the end would probably be no better than that of the house.
Even though Kuai Liang's nickname is Zirou, when he does things, his methods are not gentle at all.
Kuai Zheng hurriedly bowed and said: "My nephew is a member of the Kuai clan. He was born as a Kuai clan and died as a ghost of the Kuai clan.
If my uncle has any instructions, please explain them. My nephew will not refuse and is willing to do his best for the family."
A smile suddenly appeared on Kuai Liang's clear and slightly straight face, which also made the lines on his face much softer.
"I'm afraid Bo Ping still doesn't know how the Cao family that you protected back then is doing now."
"Well...my nephew has been busy making a living these years, so he really doesn't know much about it."
"Then have you heard of the name Cao Sanpian?"
Kuai Zheng was startled, then nodded and said: "My nephew can recite the eight hundred words of Cao Sanpian's extraordinary essays by heart. My nephew is also familiar with the Three-Character Classic and the Disciple's Rules, so of course he knows it."
"Then have you ever heard of Fu Zhi Lou?"
"Oh, I know." A hint of shyness appeared on Kuai Zheng's face, "My nephew has heard about the name of Deer Pattern Paper for a long time, but it's a pity that he never got to see it."
Kuai Liang said: "Then let me tell you, Cao Sanpian was the son of the Cao family back then.
And the Fu Zhilou is just an estate in his name. Now, the Cao family has risen. Back then, Cao Ji was the great master of Yinmo, and the swords he made were sought after by people all over the world. He now worships Liangzhou as an official
The governor...that son of the Cao family is appointed by the imperial court as the governor of Nanyang."
hiss!
Kuai Zheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
He felt that there was a burst of energy rushing to the top of his head, and then quickly spread throughout his body.
He finally understood why Kuai Liang summoned him and why he was so kind to him... It was not what Kuai Zheng was like, but what he did in those years, which now made Kuai family see huge benefits. Cao Jiazi, Cao Sanpian,
Is it the new Nanyang Governor?
Salted fish reborn!
Kuai Zheng knew that this time, he was really reincarnated...
"I want you to go to Wuyin and visit Cao Youxue in your personal capacity.
If you need any support for this visit, just explain it. I have ordered someone to prepare a hundred gold for you... My request is to stay with Cao Peng. I don't ask you to get an official position, but at least you must find a way.
Join Cao Peng's shogunate and maintain friendship with Cao Peng.
