My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Chapter 112: Mr. Zheng secretly washes the general's clothes in the middle of the night

Ye Xingxin quickly flipped through the book and told everyone:

"This third one is about the shortest minister in the court, Zheng Qiu, the Minister of Works."

"It says that this minister is a corrupt official. In addition to embezzling the court's money, he also embezzled the money of his friends and his family."

Zheng Qiu was stunned when his name was called, and then many of his colleagues looked at him in unison.

With a heavy heart and a bitter face, he shouted: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

The prince placed his index finger on the center of his lips: "Master Zheng, be quiet."

The prince's attitude made Zheng Qiu's cry stop. Crocodile tears hung on her short eyelashes, looking like they were about to fall off. Combined with her old, wrinkled face, it looked weird and out of place.

"We'll talk about the embezzlement later. Let me tell you about an interesting thing here first."

"This matter involves General Zhao Zhentian, who lives next door to him and is also the general who protects the country of Zhou."

Zhao Zhentian looked at Ye Shengxin and his pupils shrank. What does this have to do with him?

When he lowered his head, he happened to meet Zheng Qiu's affectionate gaze. He was stunned. This person... why did this person seem to have intentions towards him?

With this worried heart, Zhao Zhentian concentrated all his attention and prepared to continue listening.

"Zheng Qiu actually admires this general who has 300,000 soldiers under his command and is not suspected by the emperor. Moreover, this general looks heroic and protects the country and the people. He can be said to be a true hero."

"Zheng Qiu was able to reach this point among the most cunning ministers and occupy a high position because he wanted to get close to this general."

"And just three years ago, he finally realized his wish and became a neighbor of General Zhao. Because of this relationship, although the two families did not interact much, they gradually became familiar with each other."

"But people are greedy. He gradually became dissatisfied with his relationship with General Zhao and wanted to get closer."

Zhao Zhentian's face turned red and white. How could he get closer to this person?

With Wang Kaihe and Dazhuang as examples, many ministers had the wrong idea.

Prime Minister Shangguan smiled and said, "In the past, I thought that the general and Lord Zheng had no interaction, but I didn't expect that in private... General, why are you glaring at me? I didn't mean anything wrong."

Xu Zhong joked: "The general is brave and has the ability to make people admire and remember him."

The Grand Tutor joked: "If the general doesn't like this relationship, he should be more cautious in the future. It's not good for this man to be too capable."

Zhao Zhentian frowned and said in a rough voice: "This general stands between heaven and earth, and only asks to be innocent and have a clear conscience. Please stop joking and making fun of me."

Several ministers had a good relationship with Zhao Zhentian in the past, and when they heard about this, they were just in a bad mood and had no intention of playing a prank.

After hearing this, they all smiled and stopped talking.

Ye Xingxin: "What a coincidence. The place where General Zhao's family washes clothes is only separated from Zheng Qiu's mansion by a wall. Zheng Qiu's mother died early, his only partner is a weak-tempered wife, his son is an official outside, and his daughter is married. His mansion can be said to be very cold."

"It's so cold that the dozen or so servants in the huge mansion can't easily discover what Lord Zheng did."

"So the fact that Lord Zheng secretly washed clothes for General Zhao and his children and grandchildren was known only to his weak wife in his mansion."

Zhao Zhentian opened his mouth. What, what nonsense is Ye Shengxin talking about?

Was it Lord Zheng who washed the clothes for him, his wife, children and grandchildren?

how can that be!

He is a high-ranking official of the third rank. Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?

How could you do such a ridiculous thing?

Moreover, the servants in his house who were responsible for laundry were family-born children. How could they let their clothes fall into the hands of others?

Aren’t they afraid that someone will use this to harm their master?

In the small courtyard, Zhang Liang was surprised and puzzled about this.

Ye Xingxin explained speechlessly: "Of course, the clothes were washed right under their noses, so they were relieved to let General Zhao and other masters wear them."

"You don't know how much this Lord Zheng gave to the servants who were responsible for washing the clothes of General Zhao and his family in order to get this job."

"Among the money given out, there was money for his old mother's coffin and the gold and silver for burial."

"That's why his mother only used a coffin that looked good on the outside but was actually worth only five taels of silver. She was buried with nothing in the coffin except the body."

Ye Xingxin couldn't help but sigh again, "Mr. Zheng's admiration is nothing compared to Zhu Zhu's love for Mr. Nong."

Nong Minchang: ...Just talk about others, can you please not mention him? We are enjoying the show!

My mother’s coffin book?

Zhao Zhentian's pupils trembled. It was ridiculous, really ridiculous.

As a filial son, he turned around and stared at Zheng Qiu on the ground in anger. For the first time in his life, he felt a strong disgust for anyone other than the enemy.

And is this admiration? This is outrageous perversion!

Zheng Qiu felt wronged, "General Zhao, please don't look at me like that. I can't stand it."

After saying this, his eyelashes failed to hold back the tears, and they just flowed down, making him look disheveled and ugly.

Zhao Zhentian took a deep breath and turned his face away in disgust.

Many ministers gasped at this.

It's really a matter between people, more explosive than that between people and pigs!

Ye Xingxin: "In fact, when Mr. Zheng first started washing clothes for General Zhao, he only washed his outer robes, and he only washed for General Zhao, the person he admired the most."

"Maybe he had too much free time, so he even took General Zhao's underwear."

"It was a night near winter, the weather was cold and the water was cold. Lord Zheng sat in the laundry yard of General Zhao's house, washing clothes under the light of a dim lantern for half an hour."

"General Zhao's underwear was made in Zheng Qiu's yard during those days."

"Later, in order to get closer to General Zhao, he simply exchanged his underwear with General Zhao's."

"And men's underwear is easy to imitate, so without General Zhao knowing, the two of them took turns wearing each other's underwear for three years. Until now, the underwear General Zhao wears is the one that Lord Zheng has worn."

Ye Xingxin sighed: "If General Zhao knew about this, the friendship between the two of them would be considered extremely deep."

"But he didn't know that this story was destined to be a tragic story."

Zhao Zhentian stared at Ye Shengxin, then at the ministers who were sighing, you, you...what are you regretting!

What a pity!

This is really unreasonable!

His hand moved to his waist again, and he really felt that all the parts of his body from his stomach down to his knees were not feeling well.

It felt like thousands of silver needles were piercing his skin, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

If this wasn't the case in the main hall, he would have wanted to tear his clothes into pieces.

It's so disgusting!

The prince felt uncomfortable when he heard this story again.

There are so many strange and bizarre things in this world!
