Great Imperial Merchant

As soon as his words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room.

The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared completely, leaving only stunned eyes.

But Cheng He, who became everyone's focus, didn't care at all. He only looked up slowly, his eyes were gloomy, revealing a biting chill.

Cheng Yao got Cheng Weizhe's promise just now, and finally took a breath. Hearing his brother's voice at this moment, it seemed like a voice from outside, and his whole body was erratic: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Cheng He took a sip of tea by himself: "I said it, I disagree. Weizhe is my son, and he will support me until the end of his life. I don't agree to move his household registration out."

Cheng Weizhe was filled with anger when he saw his reasonable appearance, but Yang Zhongyuan's warm hand patted him, which gave him great comfort.

He turned his head and looked over, only to see Yang Zhongyuan smiling confidently.

"You trust me." He lip-synced to him.

Cheng Weizhe was taken aback, then calmed down, he watched Yang Zhongyuan stretch his clothes with a smile on his face, and then said to Bai Xiaozhu and Cheng Yao: "Second Master, Zhengjun, you have also seen that the Eldest Master disregarded the Second Young Master for his own sake. I have negated everything you have just worked hard for. I think Ah Zhe’s meaning is very clear. What he wants most is to break away from the entire Cheng family and have nothing to do with you or the Elder Master. I mean, do you understand?"

Cheng Yao, who had criticized Cheng He just now, heard Yang Zhongyuan's words, and now wanted to kill his biological elder brother.I didn't expect this person to be worthless all his life, but to turn his back on him at this time, it's extremely selfish and indifferent.

"Brother, Wei Shu is your nephew. As long as he can come back, he will naturally take care of you in the future. You should agree to this even for the sake of me and Xiaozhu."

Although Cheng Yao is the patriarch, Cheng He is Cheng Weizhe's biological father after all. He does not agree with Cheng Weizhe's departure, even if Cheng Yao agrees, it is useless.

Seeing that Cheng He was unmoved, Bai Xiaozhu had no choice but to go forward and look at him pitifully: "Brother, Wei Shu has always been so filial to you, even if there is no Wei Zhe in the future, A Yao and I will take good care of you Yes. Big brother, you just agree."

He always knew what Cheng He liked, didn't he just like his appearance?In the past, no matter what he wanted, he could get it from Cheng He in two or three sentences. He always felt that it was the same now.

But this time, Cheng He didn't look at him at all. What he stared at was his son: "Your father is my righteous king. Even if he dies, he must be placed with my tablet. In the future It's up to you to enshrine. I just don't agree, what can you do with me? Lock me up in the bamboo garden? My dear brothers?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Weizhe knew that he hated Cheng Yao and Bai Xiaozhu before shutting him into the bamboo garden and ignoring him. Seeing their relationship break down, Cheng Weizhe only felt happy in his heart, but after being happy, he was still a little worried.

If Cheng He really disagrees, he really can't move.

But no matter what, he still wanted to say to him in person: "Master Cheng, don't you think you are a particularly shameless person? Ask yourself, how did my father treat you back then? And how did you treat him?" How? I won't talk about how I grew up under your indifference, I just want to ask you, did you shed half a tear when my father passed away? I will enshrine the two of you together, you are dreaming!"

Cheng Weizhe finished speaking in one breath, still feeling puzzled: "Before he died, my father told me that if there was a chance in the future, he would tell me to take him out of Cheng's house completely. Oh, by the way, I'm afraid you didn't know, since he When he passed away, I had moved back to Lin's ancestral grave for burial, and the Cheng family was not his home, so I was afraid he would feel uncomfortable living there. Second uncle personally agreed to this."

When his biological son said this, if it was before, he would have rushed forward with anger.But now, Cheng He never got angry, he just looked at everyone coldly, especially Cheng Weizhe: "Why don't I know?"

Cheng Weizhe sneered: "As long as you visit his grave in the past three years, you will know that he is no longer in the Cheng family. So I don't care if you know it or not, but Father, even if you don't let me Let's go, even if I bear the reputation of being unfilial, you don't want me to take care of you until your death."

However, no matter what he said, Cheng He was unmoved.

He probably felt that everyone had nothing to do with him, so he was confident, thinking about how to continue torturing them in the future until they satisfied him.The suffering of these dozens of days was really not in vain.

Out of trust in Yang Zhongyuan, Cheng Weizhe also finished what he wanted to say, so he shut his mouth and sat watching the three mess up.

It was said to be noisy, but in fact it was mainly because Bai Xiaozhu was begging Cheng He, but Cheng He still refused.

When Bai Xiaozhu had said all the good things, Cheng He still kept a cold face and refused to nod. He finally broke out: "Cheng He, what are you! You are a stinky old nine who can't read a single book well. You learn from literary masters every day." You don’t think it’s disgusting! Tell me, you’ve been focusing on studying all these years, and who is preparing food and clothing for you? How does Wei Shu treat you? He’s more filial to you than your own son, so you just abandon him like this "Cheng He, you are a selfish villain, you are worse than a dog."

What he said was heartbreaking.

Cheng He was not angry when he heard this, but he smiled instead: "How much better are you than me? At least I am more honest than you. I never hide what I like and what I don't like. What about you? I think you chose the second brother , It’s not that I really like him, it’s just because he has the ability to inherit the Cheng family, right? Put away your hypocrisy, I was blind before, but now I’m sober. Your son is with you, why should I save him? he?"

"I, I don't want to make any of you feel better, hehehe." His laughter was so penetrating that it was very uncomfortable to hear.

But before he could feel complacent, Yang Zhongyuan stood up suddenly. He took out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve, slowly opened it and shook it in front of Cheng He.

"Master Cheng, do you recognize this thing?"

Cheng He was just immersed in the delusion of making everyone unhappy, but in the blink of an eye, Yang Zhongyuan fought back.

The piece of paper was only a cover for Cheng He's eyes, because the room was dark, he couldn't see what was on it at all: "I don't care what you are? Anyway, he can't leave, and you can't marry him. "

Yang Zhongyuan ignored him at all, walked directly in front of Cheng Yao, and handed the paper to Cheng Yao for a look: "The second master should know what this is, right?"

"This... is this Lu Yin?" Cheng Yao asked doubtfully.

Yang Zhongyuan folded the piece of paper carefully, and put it back in his arms again: "Second Master is indeed a well-informed boss, yes, this is a guide, but it is not a simple guide."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Cheng He, with a smile on his face: "In the spring of the 23rd year of Emperor Ming, Lu Yin, a member of Dingli Palace, could leave his residence with the consent of either the head of his relatives, patriarch or father. A relative's household registration, leave the household registration together."

Emperor Ming was a Ming emperor. He heard that many palace people were sold by their parents when they returned home after leaving the palace. They had a very miserable life, so he made such a law immediately.These young people have been serving the royal family for most of their lives, and they have finally left the palace to return home. Naturally, they cannot be allowed to live worse than those in the palace. They must be free.

Ordinary people would not know this law at all, but almost all the palace people remembered it in their hearts.

Because this law is the guarantee of their future life.

Yang Zhongyuan was calm and relaxed, he continued: "In the first year of Tianqi, I entered the palace, and since returning home, I have spent fourteen springs and autumns at the end of my life. I have managed to get along in the palace, and my road guide is just right for me to take you with me. Zhe left together. If the second master agrees to our marriage and departure request, second master, what do you think?

Cheng Yao was almost stunned when he heard such a series of words.Even Bai Xiaozhu had never cared about the past of an ordinary young man like Yang Zhongyuan.

They only know that he suddenly appeared in Danluo City, opened a small shop, and brought his father to live together.

I didn't expect... I really didn't expect it!

Daliang strictly controls the household registration. Anyone who wants to move out and move into the identity list must obtain the joint consent of his father, elders and clan members, and then go through the government's trial before it can be completed.

However, there is no need to be so particular about the marriage between the common people.Or it may be the order of the elders and the words of the matchmaker, or it may be that the two young people have the right eyes, as long as the elders in the clan approve it, and it does not violate filial piety, then the marriage can be formed.After all, it is so difficult to find a true love in one's life.

Among the relatives, the patriarch's order is higher than the wishes of the fathers, so as long as Cheng Yao agrees to the marriage between Cheng Weizhe and Yang Zhongyuan, then Cheng He has no way to insist on opposing it.

After all, in Danluo, his reputation for treating his parents and children privately and harshly is well known. At this time, the patriarch agreed, but he came out to oppose it. Even the government may intervene.

For Cheng He, who has read a lot of poetry and books, he naturally understands all these.Dang even lowered his face and looked at Yang Zhongyuan with resentment. He was not reconciled and continued to sow discord: "What's so good about Cheng Weizhe, he doesn't even support his own father, is it worth you doing this for him?"

Yang Zhongyuan looked at him fixedly, and said: "Because you are not worth it, so he doesn't support you, but he is kind to me in every possible way. Because I am worth it."

Yes, he really deserves it.

When he took out the road guide from his arms, Cheng Weizhe's eyes became moist. He knew that Yang Zhongyuan didn't like to face this former palace man's identity, and he never mentioned it to outsiders, but now for him , but said everything in front of the Cheng family.

If someone can treat her sincerely like this, what else can I ask for in this world?

Cheng Weizhe found Yang Zhongyuan's hand from the wide sleeve, and he held it tightly, as if he never wanted to let go.

Really, I like it to the bottom of my heart.

Cheng He saw that they were so intimate with no one else, and all his plans today were in vain, so he stood up from his chair immediately angrily: "You are wolf-hearted, Cheng Yao, if I hadn't been the head of the family for you back then, you How can you be in charge of the family for so many years? Bai Xiaozhu, if I hadn’t always respected you, how many times do you think you can order me around? And you, Cheng Weizhe, are not filial to your father. Take you, a low-class person, for the rest of your life."

After he finished speaking, his face flushed red, and his whole body was shaking like a numb stick, which showed that he was very angry.

These days, his life is not as good as the servants of the Cheng family, he can't go anywhere, he takes care of his own life, and even eats the same vegetables and porridge every day, never changing the pattern.

Cheng He had had enough of all this, he gritted his teeth and endured it, and finally found such an opportunity today to beat all those people he hated thoroughly in one breath.The way Bai Xiaozhu begged him just now made him feel extremely comfortable.

However, before he was happy for a moment, he was interrupted cruelly by Yang Zhongyuan.

Cheng He was so angry that his whole body ached and he couldn't say a word.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Yao frowned and wanted to call for someone to come in and take him away to take care of him, but unexpectedly Yang Zhongyuan said: "Second Master, you haven't said yet, do you want to change the Second Young Master back?"

Bai Xiaozhu didn't wait for Cheng Yao's answer, and immediately said: "We promise, we promise everything, please go to the government today, as long as you don't sue Hutou, Na Weishu will be back."

Yang Zhongyuan was very satisfied when he got his accurate answer. He and Cheng Weizhe looked at each other with ecstasy in their eyes.

This calamity was finally not in vain.

However, Yang Zhongyuan didn't intend to let them go just like that.

He pressed Cheng Weizhe's shoulders, and suddenly said to Cheng Yao: "Since I want to marry Ah Zhe, I have to be filial to Uncle Feng, but both I and Ah Zhe are seriously injured, this is really inconvenient to do, why not wait On the anniversary of Uncle Feng's death, how about asking the three of you to chant sutras for seven days?"

After chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, the three of them were asked to be locked up in the ancestral hall together, and worship Lin Shaofeng's tablet every day. Thinking of how Lin Shaofeng died back then, Cheng Yao and Bai Xiaozhu's faces turned black, and Cheng Yao even more so. Without even thinking about it, he refused: "You have already had enough exchange terms, and they were all negotiated just now, why do you want to turn your face and deny anyone?"

Yang Zhongyuan's attitude was very firm: "How can it be, Ah Zhe and I are both people who keep our word. But I didn't say that we don't have other handles in our hands."

"What...?" Bai Xiaozhu was taken aback, he had been frightened too much this day, and he didn't know how to react at this moment.

But Yang Zhongyuan only said: "Your nobleman is not clean in doing things, and he ordered his servant to go. I am afraid that this servant is also imprisoned with him in the Thirteen Meetings now?"

Cheng Yao almost gritted his white teeth. He clenched his fists tightly and looked at the calm young man in front of him.

Yang Zhongyuan was not afraid of him at all, he just said: "You two, I have someone to prove it."

As soon as he said that, Cheng Yao and Bai Xiaozhu were shocked, and they didn't quite understand what else their son had done.

Cheng Yao is really old, and he retorted in a blink of an eye: "What did the boy do, it has nothing to do with the master. It may be what he thinks in his heart, how can you rely on Wei Shu?"

Yang Zhongyuan smiled, and only said: "I'm afraid he will inherit your Cheng family's future family business?"

Cheng Yao pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Yang Zhongyuan said again: "I am a law-abiding person, and I like to solve everything through the government. Since you don't think there is any problem, then I will go directly to the official with the witness card. I believe that Mr. Fu Yin is a sensible person. People. Who did it, we must be able to find out carefully."

"You!" Bai Xiaozhu didn't catch his breath and almost fainted.The original good mood because of the resolution of the matter suddenly fell to the bottom. He stared at Yang Zhongyuan with red eyes.

But Yang Zhongyuan still looked calm, as if nothing he said was important.

Cheng He patted Bai Xiaozhu's back, and finally forced himself to calm down.

This time, Yang Zhongyuan's shop was smashed, Cheng Weizhe was seriously injured, and there was already a lot of trouble in Danluo.Everyone knows that their relationship is not good, even if Hutou and the military division did this, the common people don't think so in their hearts.

People are like this, once they have the taint of ostracizing their nephew, no matter what happens to Cheng Weizhe, the finger will be pointed at them.

In recent days, the Cheng family's business has not been as good as one day. Even if Cheng Yao stabilized the business by cutting prices, the money he earns is really rare.If Cheng Weishu spreads bad words at this time, the Cheng family's business will fall to the bottom in an instant.

The foundation that has been worked hard for generations cannot be destroyed in his hands.

Even if he was reluctant, Cheng Yao knew that they couldn't refuse.

"We can chant scriptures to mourn, but you also have to promise that you will never go to the government to sue Wei Shu in your life." Cheng He's face seemed to drip ink, he said coldly, gnashing his teeth.

Yang Zhongyuan knew that they would agree, these big families have a lot of face, how could they allow the heirs to spread the rumors that they were jealous of their elder brother and bought a murderer to hurt others?

"Second master is wise, you see, it will be much easier if you agree to it. As long as you pay respects to Uncle Feng devoutly, then Azhe and I can even make a statement that we will never regret it in this life. How about it?"

Cheng Yao took several breaths, and finally said word by word: "Okay, the three of us must be very devout."

However, he agreed with Bai Xiaozhu, but Cheng He still refused: "You have all discussed it, what does it have to do with me? If you want to kneel down at the ancestral hall, you kneel down yourself, I won't go."

After he finished speaking, Cheng Weizhe's face changed suddenly.

Lin Shaofeng at least said that he had been married to him for more than twenty years, but in the end he refused to even pay homage to the pile of loess, he simply had no conscience at all.

"Second Uncle," Cheng Weizhe said suddenly with a cold face, "I am very grateful for your kindness. How about this, you and Second Uncle only worship for seven days. My father misses Dad so much, so let him Staying alone in the ancestral hall for a few more days will satisfy his thoughts."

Cheng Yao endured Cheng He countless times this day, but this time it was rare to agree with Cheng Weizhe: "Okay, this is the Cheng family, and I can still make the decision."

When we got here, things were almost over. Yang Zhongyuan helped Cheng Weizhe up, turned his head and said with a smile: "Then, you three, wait for the good news, and take my leave."

After he finished speaking, he left the main room with Cheng Weizhe, as if Cheng He's earth-shattering curses in that room did not exist at all.

"Why do you? Why?"

What do you think we should do?
