Chapter 134 The Ancestral Tomb Exploded
After the worship, Zhang Hongye was lifted up from his wheelchair. He looked at his fellow tribesmen with his frail face and said with his remaining strength:
"The ancestors have appeared and are protecting the descendants of our Zhang family. The responsibility of prospering the Zhang family is now handed over to you. You must not let the ancestors down."
Zhang Hongye said this and looked towards the imperial city.
It happened to be the direction where Emperor Jingming was hiding, and suddenly his eyes became watery:
"Your Majesty, I am half buried in the ground and cannot accompany you for long. I have educated these unpromising juniors. If you do not abandon them, I will hand them over to you."
"I, an old minister, hope that they can work harder, help Your Majesty solve problems, and seek the well-being of the people of the world."
These words made the ministers and the prince feel numb.
Zhang Hongye, the corrupt old man, spoke nicely, but it was just to get more members of the Zhang family into the court.
The ministers sneered in their hearts and observed the expression of Emperor Jingming.
Seeing that he continued to observe with a calm expression, everyone continued to watch as well.
After Zhang Hongye finished speaking, the descendants of the Zhang family retreated, and the head of the Huang family, Huang Changsheng, came over.
Rong Ping and Rong Anle followed closely behind.
Huang Changsheng smiled and looked at Zhang Hongye, who was nervous and trembling after standing for just a moment, and complimented him:
"Auspicious signs have come to Lord Zhang's family. The Zhang family has a successor."
Zhang Hongye smiled and said, "I wonder why Patriarch Huang came here..."
Huang Changsheng glanced at the white mist still rising from the Zhang family's ancestral tomb and brought up the old matter again:
"Master Zhang mentioned earlier about the marriage between your granddaughter and my son. I wonder if Master Zhang is still interested in the marriage?"
After all, Huang Changsheng was concerned about Rong Ping beside him, so he said, "This is also what my son wanted."
"He insisted that he would not marry anyone other than Miss Rou, and even went out to look for treasures for Miss Rou. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and broke his leg, and he has been lying in bed ever since."
"As a father, how can I let my son's sincere words go to waste?"
Zhang Hongye snorted in his heart. He had been the one who initiated this marriage in order to rescue his grandson, but in the end the other party didn't respond well.
Now I tend to find excuses to post here.
Thinking that such an auspicious sign had actually befallen the Zhang family, Zhang Hongye had no choice but to give Qiao some credit in order to regain his original face.
"Rou'er is still young, and her mother wants to keep her for another two years, so the marriage will be..."
Huang Changsheng gritted his teeth and said, "We can discuss the betrothal gift in detail."
This means being willing to back down on the iron certificate.
Zhang Hongye: "Then let's wait until Mr. Huang is healthy again before we decide on the marriage."
Rong Ping knew exactly what the two old foxes were planning, but he didn't bother to pay attention.
The strong feeling of being spied on made him look towards the hiding place of Emperor Jingming.
Rong Anle also looked over.
The two men had good eyesight and saw four people eating watermelons and watching the show behind the bushes, and they were immediately helpless.
Why is Your Majesty here? Can he still leave his job of chopping wood to others?
Zhang Hongye's pretentiousness made Emperor Jingming feel inexplicably uncomfortable, especially since the auspicious sign was Hao Duanzhuang's sneeze. He had been holding it in for more than ten breaths but could not bear it any longer.
He turned around and ordered Hao Duanzhuang to blow up the tomb, and took the opportunity to throw the account book stolen from the Zhang family into Rong Ping's arms.
The ministers listened to Emperor Jingming's instructions and nodded one after another.
Even though His Majesty has lost his memory, he is still so wise and powerful.
This method is good, direct and labor-saving.
Hao Duanzhuang did as he was told, and a black ball flew over with a "bang".
The two people who were flattering each other were close to the entrance of the ancestral tomb and were blown away.
In the smoke, Rong Ping was about to help Lord Zhang who was not feeling well, when suddenly something appeared in his arms.
He looked down and saw the words "Zhang Family Account Book".
Rong Ping: !!!
Rong Ping subconsciously looked towards the place where Emperor Jingming was hiding, and saw the grass and trees there shaking, and there was no figure anymore.
Rong Anle: "Father, this is..."
Amid the screams, Rong Ping's expression became stern, and he took the lead in defining the source of the account book:
"Thank you, Zhang family ancestors, for the gift to Rong."
Rong Ping's voice was so loud that all the frightened people looked over here.
Under the gaze of everyone, Rong Ping held the account book and bowed towards the Zhang family's ancestral tomb. The thick "Zhang Family Account Book" in his hand stung many people's eyes.
Zhang Hongye fell to the ground, trying hard not to faint. He looked at the thing in Rong Ping's hand with bloodshot eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"You said this thing was given to you by my ancestors?"
Rong Ping smiled slightly: "Otherwise, Lord Zhang, what do you think of the account book that appeared out of thin air in Rong's arms?"
"Grandfather, this thing really did appear out of thin air. Your grandson saw it." A young master of the Zhang family spoke up.
The Zhang family’s housekeeper’s face turned pale. Although he didn’t want to admit the fact, he nodded towards Zhang Hongye.
He saw it too.
Zhang Hongye:!!!
Zhang Hongye stared at the ancestral tomb whose entrance was blown out, stretched out his hand, and the veins on the back of his hand were throbbing.
The cloudy eyeballs bulged as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.
why?
Why did his ancestors want to harm him and the Zhang family?
"Master, the entrance to our ancestral tomb has been disturbed. Someone has gone in." A servant came over to report.
Zhang Hongye:!!!
Zhang Hongye opened his mouth and said, "Quick, go in and take a look."
The people who went in to investigate came out quickly.
"Master, the mechanisms inside have all been destroyed. Along with the gold, silver and jade objects buried with our ancestors, the coffin of the deceased old lady has also disappeared."
Zhang Hongye:!!!
"It's retribution, it's all retribution, Wenshu, it's you who came back..."?
Zhang Hongye muttered these words, kicked his legs, closed his eyes, and fainted from the shock.
All members of the Zhang family were arrested and thrown into prison by Rong Ping on the grounds that there were doubts about the account books.
Huang Changsheng was stunned by this sudden change, then he hurriedly got on the carriage and rushed home.
I’m afraid the Zhang family is doomed.
-
In the following days, Rong Ping received news from the capital and investigated the Zhang family more thoroughly.
After the Zhang family's guilt was confirmed, they were executed the next day.
The blood of the Zhang family soaked the execution ground in Jianghe City.
Of course, this is a story for later.
After Ye Shengxin returned on the seesaw again that day, Zhang Liang found Ye Shengxin privately.
He used silver and the opportunity to be a book editor as bait to get Ye Shengxin to finish reading the book he had written.
In the storybook, he wrote down the crow's mouth about Baishan Mansion that he wanted Ye Xingxin to shout out.
After Ye Shengxin finished speaking, Zhang Liang immediately replied to the prince.
Before the pigeon carrying the letter flew out of Jianghe City, it started raining in Baishan Prefecture.
The people who were worrying about their future at home heard the muffled thunder outside and immediately ran out of their houses.
The rain from the sky hit them, and they cheered and danced in the rain.
The people knelt down and worshipped the sky, thanking God for sending this timely rain.
With the rain, their crops will be saved.
This timely rain lasted for three days.
On that day when rainwater seeped into the ground and the sky was clear in Baishan Prefecture, the prince announced the news of the relief of drought in the court.
All the ministers felt relieved and were happy for the people of Baishan Prefecture. It was also the first time that they were relieved by Ye Shengxin's bad words.
This ability to call the wind and rain and bring blessings to the people makes him worthy of the title of a country's national teacher.
