Sun Miao took Zhang Xiu outside a thatched house.
Sun Miao pointed to the thatched cottage tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, that woman is hiding here, and the common people have not done anything to her to this day. This woman has a strong temper and will not die. Please spare your life, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Xiu stared at him sharply, then walked towards the thatched cottage.
As soon as I got closer, a stench rushed into my nose. It must have been the pen where pigs or sheep were raised. The stench inside was overwhelming. A woman who can be forced to hide in such a miserable place shows how detestable Sun Miao is. Zhang Xiu frowned and took a moment to adjust, then gently pushed open the thatched cottage, which was cold and dark inside.
Suddenly, there was a roar inside.
Zhang Xiu had just entered from under the sun, and his eyes had not yet adapted to the darkness inside, so he could not see clearly what was going on inside. However, with many years of combat experience, he could keenly feel the opponent's move, because it should be something like a stick, and The swing was not strong, and there was a faint fragrance that was incompatible with the thatched cottage, so she must be the woman he was looking for.
Zhang Xiu accurately grabbed the wooden stick with his backhand and said, "Girl, please don't panic. We are here to rescue you, not the Sun family."
As he spoke, his eyes had adapted to the darkness inside, but his pupils trembled.
The woman inside was covered in injuries, and her tattered clothes could no longer hide her proud figure. Although her hair was disheveled, her original beauty could still be seen. But the injuries on her body were very shocking, which was why Zhang Xiu's eyes were shocked.
"You...who are you?"
Seeing that her attack was easily neutralized, the woman was so frightened that she let go and hurriedly retreated, hiding behind a pillar, trembling all over. It was obvious that he was extremely frightened.
It's hard to imagine what Sun Miao did to her to make this woman so scared.
Zhang Xiu softened his tone and said softly: "The Sun family has no laws of the country and harms the people of Dajing. The law of the country does not allow it. It will not be long before they will be killed. Don't worry, girl."
The woman was still scared and trembling all over.
After a while, seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't use force on him, he raised his head and glanced at him in fear: "Who are you?"
Zhang Xiu smiled: "Zhang Xiu."
"Zhang...Xiu!"
The woman tilted her head and thought about the name. It felt very familiar, but she was so frightened that she couldn't remember the owner of the name for a while.
Zhang Xiu reminded with a smile: "The surname Zhang is the surname of Dajingguo."
The girl suddenly trembled, raised her head and looked at Zhang Xiu with a pair of bright eyes with disbelief. Apparently, she had already remembered who the owner of the name Zhang Xiu was.
"You are...the emperor!"
Her voice trembled.
Zhang Xiu nodded: "I will personally make the decision for you, now you can rest assured!"
The woman relaxed all over, tears already flowing from the corners of her eyes. Her tense nerves relaxed. Endless fatigue filled her whole body. She felt her eyes darken and fell down.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Zhang Xiu hugged her waist, took off his robe, wrapped it around her, and walked outside. As he approached the door of the thatched cottage outside, his face gradually turned cold from the gentle one just now. , and when I reached the door, it was already as cold as ice.
Sun Miao was still kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
When Tian Jing and others saw Zhang Xiu's expression, they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Zhang Xiu glanced at Sun Miao coldly and ordered to Qin Zhen next to him: "I order you to lead the Jinggan Army to surround the Sun Mansion and imprison everyone in the Sun family, waiting for my order." Then he looked at Tian Jing: "Yi Light! Julu is your territory in Jizhou, who brought it to me, the prefect of Julu!"
After saying that, he hugged the woman and walked towards the inn.
Sun Miao had already been paralyzed with fear.
Qin Zhen grabbed his shoulders, lifted him up like an eagle carrying a chicken, and walked towards the Sun Mansion. At the same time, Jingqian's army had been ordered to enter Julu City.
After such a commotion, the people in the entire Julu City knew that the emperor was visiting Julu.
The inn where we just had dinner was immediately changed to the highest standard of the hotel. A red carpet was laid out from the ground to the room that Zhang Xiu and the others had booked before. The room was also carefully decorated and changed to the highest standard. In the opinion of this shopkeeper, the opportunity for their inn to develop is coming.
After all, there are not many opportunities for an inn to receive the emperor.
When Zhang Xiu returned to the inn door with the girl in his arms, the shopkeeper and all the people around him kowtowed and greeted her. In particular, the local people are eager for Zhang Xiu's arrival.
The reason is very simple. Under the implementation of national policies, everyone in other places has land. However, due to the obstruction of the Sun family, Julu's speculation has been delayed. The people of Julu have not been allocated the land yet, and they are already extremely anxious. Now it is better. His Majesty the Emperor came to Julu in person. They have divided the land. Hope.
Zhang Xiu didn't pay attention to them and went straight into the room.
The attendants on the left and right had already called the accompanying imperial doctor to wait at the door. After bowing, they began to examine and treat the woman.
Tu Lichen reported from the side: "Your Majesty, the people from Fusi in Julu Neibei Town have responded. The origin of this woman is not simple. She is Zheng Xue, the daughter of Zheng Hun, the Zheng family in Xingyang."
Zhang Xiu was surprised: "Zheng family in Xingyang?"
According to later records, the Zheng family in Xingyang was a famous family from the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties. Their ancestors could be traced back to the Zheng State, which was entrusted by King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a great minister, Zheng Zheng, who settled in Kaifeng County, Henan County. Later, Xingyang County was established and Kaifeng County belonged to it. Later generations were called "Xingyang Kaifeng people" (that is, the origin of the Zheng family in Xingyang).
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zheng Hun, Zheng Tai and others of Zheng's lineage gradually developed into a prominent family. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen of Wei established the family sequence in the form of law. The Zheng family in Xingyang, the Lu family in Fanyang, and the Cui family in Qinghe , Taiyuan Wang family are collectively known as the Four Surnames. There were twelve prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and they were one of the "Seven Surnames and Ten Families".
Today's Zheng family has not developed as powerful as later generations, but it is still a famous family. Logically speaking, the Zheng family should be very powerful now. How could it be reduced to such a state?
Tu Lichen coughed dryly and reminded: "The Yellow River burst its banks and flooded Xingyang."
Only then did Zhang Xiu react.
After the Yellow River burst its banks, the people of the Central Plains suffered disaster. They were all swept away by the Yellow Disaster. No matter you were a powerful nobleman or a commoner, you were treated equally. The Zheng family was also swept away by the Yellow Disaster. As far as is known, the only one who survived was the current girl Zheng Xue.
Zhang Xiu said: "Order Chen Da to ask the Beizhen Fusi to work hard to find out the whereabouts of the Zheng clan members. If they can find out the whereabouts of the Zheng clan members, they will bring them to Chang'an for me."
"Here!" Tulichen took the order.
At this time, the imperial doctor also finished the examination, prescribed medicine and handed it over respectfully: "Your Majesty, her injuries are serious but not fatal. She is unconscious because she was too frightened. She needs some time to recover."
Zhang Xiu nodded, and then ordered someone to get the medicine.
