After returning to the hall to get a map and discussing with Zhou Boxu and Sun Hechuan, Yu Zheng said loudly: "Chasing the clouds and the wind."
"My subordinate is here." Zhuiyun Zhufeng quickly walked into the room and stood ready.
Yu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Immediately lead people to the west to pursue Jiang Shaohe separately. There must be no mistakes."
"Yes." Zhuiyun Zhufeng accepted the order and turned around.
Sun Hechuan followed to arrange manpower and informed them of the direction of pursuit.
Seeing that something was going on here, Zhou Poxu stood up and said, "I still have official duties to attend to, so I'll leave first."
Yu Zheng nodded and watched Zhou Boxu leave the hall.
The room was silent, only Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu were left in the large hall, while Leng Xing and Tan Yuhou were outside the room.
Looking at Jiang Shu, who looked sad and pretty and pale, Yu Zheng walked over and said warmly, "I'll take you back."
Hearing this, Jiang Shu looked up at him and said, "I haven't decided how to tell my parents yet."
The murder of his closest brother was undoubtedly a huge blow to Jiang's father.
Thinking of Father Jiang's heartbroken look, Jiang Shu didn't know what to say.
But Jiang Shaohua is already in jail, and he can't hide this matter for long even if he wants to.
"Let me tell you." Yu Zheng reached out and pulled her up.
Jiang Shu was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "You... want to see my parents?"
what is this? Is this considered a formal visit to meet my parents?
Speaking of which, Yu Zheng has never had a serious face-to-face meeting with Jiang's father and mother.
Last year at the birthday banquet of Jingan Marquis Mansion, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother met Yu Zheng from a distance, but they didn't speak. Yu Zheng probably didn't even remember them.
The last time Yu Zheng went to Jiang's house, Jiang's father was in a coma. Jiang's mother stayed at Jiang's father's bed and never saw Yu Zheng.
Later, although Yu Zheng sent Jiang Shu home several times, he never got out of the car and entered.
"What? Your parents don't want to see me?" Yu Zheng's heart tightened and he felt panicked.
Jiang Shu said hurriedly: "No, they have wanted to see you for a long time."
Yu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, held her hand and said, "Let's go."
After Zhuiyun left, Yu Zheng changed the car to a guard.
Leng Xing and Tan Yu sat on the left and right at the car door, staring at the car door in tacit understanding.
Yu Zheng kept holding Jiang Shu's hand, dispelling the coldness in her heart little by little with his silent companionship.
By the time they arrived at Jiang's house, Jiang Shu's depression had dissipated a lot. Thinking that Yu Zheng was going to see her parents soon, she became nervous.
After getting off the car and entering Jiang's house, Yu Zheng kept holding Jiang Shu's hand, not caring about the looks of the Jiang family's servants.
It was lunch time. Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, and Jiang Ning were sitting in the flower hall, discussing what dishes would be available and how many bowls of porridge they would drink.
Father Jiang said: "If you ask me, on such a hot day, I still have to have a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat."
Jiang Ning frowned: "I drink it every day. I don't know if it will relieve the heat. Anyway, I'm tired of drinking."
"Then let's switch to sour plum drink today." Mother Jiang suggested.
While the three of them were discussing, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng entered the flower hall.
"Father, mother." Jiang Shu called softly.
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother heard the sound and looked over, and were stunned when they saw Yu Zheng beside Jiang Shu.
This man has a tall and straight posture, a jade crown and brocade clothes, a handsome face, and a noble temperament. It looks a little unfamiliar, but also a little familiar. Where have you seen it before?
Jiang Ning stood up suddenly and said in surprise: "My lord, why are you here?"
Prince? Which prince? King Jing’s king?
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang looked at each other, as if they were just waking up from a dream.
"I've met the prince." Jiang's mother stood up to greet him.
Jiang's father hurriedly went to get the crutches, intending to stand up and salute with the crutches.
One of his broken legs has not healed yet and he needs crutches to stand up.
Upon seeing this, Yu Zheng hurriedly stopped: "Uncle Jiang has inconvenience on his legs and feet, so there is no need to be polite."
"I don't know if I am disrespectful to you, but please forgive me." Jiang's father looked frightened, fearing that Yu Zheng would be dissatisfied with Jiang Shu.
Yu Zheng said slowly: "I took the liberty of visiting, so don't blame Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang."
"Your Majesty, please take a seat." After Jiang's mother finished speaking, she whispered to the maid to watch the tea and ask the kitchen to cook more dishes.
Yu Zheng suddenly came to the door. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were not prepared at all. They were inevitably nervous, fearing that they would lose their etiquette and be looked down upon by Yu Zheng.
It is indeed against the rules to meet guests at the dining table in the flower hall.
Jiang's mother was hesitating whether to change to the hall, but Yu Zheng had already lifted up his clothes and sat down, not caring.
Jiang Shu sat next to Yu Zheng, pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty is here today because he has something important to tell you."
When Father Jiang and Mother Jiang heard this, they sat upright with solemn expressions.
When Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng saw their posture, they knew they had misunderstood.
"Father, mother, it's not what you think." Jiang Shu blushed and did not dare to look at Yu Zheng.
Not what they thought?
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang looked confused.
Yu Zheng coughed and said, "I'm here today to tell you that the landslide that Uncle Jiang encountered in February was not an accident, but man-made."
"What?" Jiang and his father were shocked, and then asked: "Who did it?"
"Jiang Shaohua and Jiang Shaohe hired a group of bandits from Qi County to artificially create a mountain collapse and disguised it as an accident to kill Uncle Jiang."
After a pause, Yu Zheng continued: "Not only that, in April, when Shu Er and I were returning to Beijing, the two of them bribed the bandits again and followed the same pattern to kill Shu Er and me."
"What...what's going on?" The expressions of Father Jiang and the other three people changed greatly when they heard this, and they were confused.
Yu Zheng slowly told the whole story.
As Jiang Shu expected, Jiang's father's face turned pale after hearing this, and he was so heartbroken that he could not speak.
Mother Jiang was also shocked for a while before she cursed: "These two wolf-hearted people, have their consciences been eaten by dogs?"
"Fortunately, my father and sister were lucky enough to prevent them from succeeding." Jiang Ning pounded the table angrily.
Jiang's father remained silent. Jiang's mother was afraid that he would lose his temper, so she hurriedly comforted him.
"Dad, don't be sad, they don't deserve it." Jiang Shu held Father Jiang's trembling hand to comfort him.
Jiang's mother also said: "Yeah, don't get so angry, it just makes them happy."
Jiang Ning also followed suit.
After waiting for a while, Jiang's father sighed deeply and said in a feeble voice: "I didn't know that they hated me so much. If I had known this, I shouldn't have brought them to Beijing back then."
The betrayal and murder of his compatriots was like a dull knife suddenly thrust into his heart to Jiang's father, causing him severe pain.
"This is their fault. Uncle Jiang doesn't have to blame himself too harshly." Yu Zheng persuaded him with a frown.
"Alas!" Jiang's father shook his head and sighed. His throat felt like there was a handful of dry grass stuck in his throat. He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.
Mother Jiang fed him some water, and he felt better.
At this time, the maid came in with dishes.
Dishes with delicious flavors and flavors were placed on the table, but none of the four had appetite.
In the end, Jiang's father picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat, I didn't entertain you well today, I'm neglecting the prince."
Yu Zheng didn't mind, so he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a chicken wing for Jiang Shu.
Seeing Yu Zheng's eyes looking at Jiang Shu full of tenderness and doting, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother relaxed slightly.
It's funny to think about it.
Their blood relatives tried their best to kill them, but Yu Zheng, who had nothing to do with them, tried his best to save their lives. It's really hard to say how close or close we are in this world.
It's a pity that the time is not right today. The matter between Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng can only be discussed next time.
