Sitting in the interrogation room of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Fushan shouted that he was wronged. He kept saying that Miss Zheng gave him these two things and asked him to rent a safe to store them, and she said that she had a nose and an eye.
"When did Miss Zheng give it to you?"
"Just yesterday afternoon!"
Although Old Man Qian found it unbelievable, he immediately took people to the Changping Marquis Mansion and asked to see Miss Zheng Yucong. At first, the Zheng family hesitated and spoke in a flash, sometimes saying that the eldest lady was out, and sometimes saying that the eldest lady was sick... Old Man Qian suddenly said
Seeing that they were lying, he asked a few words, but the maids and old ladies couldn't bear it anymore. Then Old Man Qian once again expressed his intention, reiterated the importance of this matter, and hoped that they would cooperate with the investigation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate...
After a while, Zheng Gongyin came out in person. Zheng Gongyin should be most concerned about the progress of the "Xiang family scandal", but now his thoughts are all on the matter of his daughter running away from home. As for what happened to Xiang Xiaoqiang?
, he no longer cares about it.
Marquis Zheng had a gloomy face and told the truth: his daughter ran away from home. The reason...the father and daughter had a quarrel and had a falling out.
Old Man Qian was shocked and asked:
"May I ask Lord Marquis, when did this happen?"
"The night before yesterday."
"Never came back?"
Zheng Gongyin sighed:
"Sir Qian, after all, Cong Cong is my daughter. If she comes back, will I, the father, not reconcile with her? Will I let her go again?"
"Oh, oh," Old Man Qian knew what he was thinking, nodded and said comfortingly, "Master Hou, don't be too sad... Now is the modern era, and young people can't stand the blame of their elders... Miss is also going out for a few days to relax.
, should be back soon..."
"Alas..." Zheng Gongyin shook his head sadly and sighed, "This modern era is really not as good as ours... Children dare to talk back to their elders, and girls dare to run away from home..."
"Yes, so is Laochan's little daughter..."
The two elders lamented the "modern era" of the 20th century and recalled the "golden age" of the late 19th century.
"Oh," after a few perfunctory words, Old Man Qian cupped his hands and said, "I say goodbye."
"I would like to send you Master Qian... Oh, Master Qian. It's a family scandal, so I ask Master Qian to keep it a secret."
"Oh, oh, I will try my best not to give it away, not to give it away..."
…
Old Man Qian observed his words and judged that there was nothing artificial about Zheng Gongyin's expression and tone, and he should be telling the truth. In this case, Miss Zheng Yucong really ran away from home the day before yesterday. The words in Zhang Fushan's mouth meant that Zheng Gongyin discovered the gift and returned it.
After returning to his home, he sent Miss Zheng out to meet with Zhang Fushan, handed him things, and asked him to go to the bank to rent a safe. This whole thing was all a lie.
After returning to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Fushan was interrogated again. Zhang Fushan was dumbfounded "in front of the facts", but after he calmed down, he still insisted on his original story and spoke very harshly.
Since he spoke so resolutely, was heartbroken, and even swore, Old Man Qian couldn't help but suspect that he was really unjust. But there are only three possibilities. First, Zhang Fushan lied. Second, Zheng Gongyin lied. Third, Zheng Yucong did leave home.
She ran away, and indeed asked Zhang Fushan to come out and ask him to store things. However, this third possibility is indeed outrageous, and it raises new questions: 1. Since Zheng Yucong is not at home at all, how did the two gifts get to her?
2. Zheng Yucong harmed Zhang Fushan. What was his intention?
There was no way to explain these two problems. Old man Qian put these two questions in front of Zhang Fushan and asked Zhang Fushan to explain. Zhang Fushan was also speechless and could not explain.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Fushan insisted that Zheng Gongyin was lying and that Miss Zheng Yucong did not run away from home at all.
In this case, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has no choice. Although there is physical evidence, a motive, and a perfectly reasonable deduction of the case, the suspect refuses to plead guilty. Originally, at this time, it could have been transferred to the Procuratorate for the crime of embezzlement of property and the crime of false accusation.
But Mr. Qian is very responsible. To be cautious and avoid an unjust case, he decided to temporarily detain Zhang Fushan. The Metropolitan Procuratorate will continue to investigate whether Zheng Gongyin lied. After all, this is the second most likely possibility. If Zhang Fushan did not lie, then
Zheng Gongyin must have lied.
…
At this moment, in the People's Guard Headquarters, Fourteenth Gege had just finished analyzing Xiang Xiaoqiang in this way. Xiuxiu and Tumache were also there, and the three of them listened to Fourteenth Gege combing through it from beginning to end. Xiang Xiaoqiang and Tumache both clicked their tongues.
He sighed and said that this plan was really flawless. Even Xiuxiu showed admiration.
"Moreover," Shi Shigege continued to analyze, "even if someone can really think that Mr. Xiang did collect things and that Miss Zheng got the things from Mr. Xiang, then he has to explain: Miss Zheng is a member of the Zheng family and a member of the jade family.
Hua Cong’s boss, why are you helping Mr. Xiang?”
"Not bad, not bad," everyone with a stomach ache nodded in agreement, "This can't be explained. Most people don't know the inside story, so they can't explain it at all."
Fourteen Gege nodded and smiled:
"Yes, we originally planned to have a war of words in the newspapers, but now that Miss Zheng has joined us, we can win so easily. However, there is another fatal factor. We must not make any mistakes."
Xiang Xiaoqiang understood what she meant by "the fatal part". He took it and said:
"Yes, this fatal place is Miss Zheng. Once someone knows that Miss Zheng is here, everything will make sense... We will be in big trouble."
With a stomachache, he glanced at Xiang Xiaoqiang and said tentatively:
"My lord, what you mean is..."
He gestured with his hand and said:
"Um?"
Shi Shi Ge Ge looked at the stomachache in amusement, and then looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang.
Xiang Xiaoqiang gave him a hard look and cursed:
"Let me tell you, starting today, Miss Zheng, if you have a cold, headache or fever, I will come to see you."
Hearing Xiang Xiaoqiang's reaction, Shi Shigege and Xiu Xiu looked at each other and noticed something in each other's eyes. Then, they both pretended to laugh and lowered their heads with a smile.
Fourteen Gege laughed and said:
"But Miss Zheng really can't continue to be in the headquarters. Sooner or later she will be discovered...Xiuxiu, has Miss Zheng been hiding in your room for more than a day? Hasn't she been discovered by others?"
"Yes. I... I locked her in the room when I went out. I also bought food and brought it back for her to eat. Except for bringing her here to meet the adults yesterday morning, she was not recognized by anyone."
Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that Xiu Xiu said this, so it must be reliable. The first is that Xiu Xiu is very cautious, and the second is that Xiu Xiu and Qiu Qiu’s rooms were arranged by themselves. They are the best single rooms in the female officers’ dormitory, and
It has a separate bathroom. That means you don’t even have to go out to go to the bathroom. As long as you have something to eat, you can hide in it for as long as you want.
But Shi Shigege is right. Hiding like this is not an option. It is better to find a safe place. Wait until the limelight of this matter is over, and then consider Zheng Yucong's whereabouts.
Alas, they still don’t know that Zheng Yucong and themselves have confessed to each other... They only need to consider how to be safe, and they also have to consider how to develop with Zheng Yucong... Not only did they start to like Zheng Yucong, but also because they messed with Zheng Yucong.
Once you get it, the benefits are huge.
The biggest advantage is that she is the Queen's cousin and is very close to the Queen. No matter how much she trusts the Queen, she is a man after all and cannot live in the palace with the Queen. But Zheng Yucong can. Think about it, one of my wives
She is a close friend of the Queen, and can often live and play with the Queen... Oh, my God, I am a male Wei Xiaobao, and my wife is a female Wei Xiaobao. The two treasures combined are invincible...
The second advantage is that she is a member of the Zheng family and the daughter of the future King Yanping. It is entirely possible for him to rely on her to reconcile with the Zheng family. As long as Zheng Gongyin is no longer his enemy, he will own the huge wealth and political resources of the Zheng family.
It can be used. Of course, if Zheng Gongyin were a politician, he would know that he has great ambitions and is a danger to the Zhu and Zheng families. Then he would never become his enemy just because he married one of his daughters.
But, is Zheng Gongyin a politician?... It seems more like a philistine, doing business.
Even if the first two are ignored, the most direct benefit is that she has an extra virtuous wife. Zheng Yucong is the same resourceful girl as Xiu Xiu, and she seems to be more aggressive and capable than Xiu Xiu. In this way, she can also work with her.
Like Xiuxiu, it becomes a good helper for your own career.
However, Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that every time he fell in love with a girl, he would give so many reasons to marry her. He counted on his fingers, how long had he been in Daming? He fell in love with Qiu Qiu.
I fell in love with Xiuxiu, fell in love with Shi Shigege, seemed to have fallen in love with Zhu Yourong (God forgive me!), and now I have fallen in love with Zheng Yucong. Under normal circumstances, I have a high status and a few more confidante.
But I have to go back in five years. Wouldn’t this be a disaster for others?
The reason Xiang Xiaoqiang originally comforted his conscience was that he would make a lot of money, and every wife would receive a huge sum of money in the future. In this way, the more wives he married, the more girls would receive a huge sum of money in the future.
She turned from Cinderella to a young rich widow... But now it seems that the girl she fell in love with is not Cinderella. The only one who was born poor is Xiuxiu, but since she discovered her identity as "Ryukyu Princess", she can't be called
It's called Cinderella.
He couldn't help but wonder: Should he take a good look at himself?
…
"My lord? My lord?"
A stomachache woke up Xiang Xiaoqiang who was deep in thought.
"Uh-huh," Xiang Xiaoqiang exclaimed. Seeing everyone looking at him, he quickly asked, "Where did you talk about it?"
Fourteen giggled and said:
"I just suggested hiding Miss Zheng in Zi Teng's villa first."
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the fourteenth princess, and then at the stomachache. He carefully looked at the face of the stomachache, and hesitated whether he could safely hide his new confidante in his place, or whether he would fall into the tiger's mouth.
"Don't worry, sir," he immediately patted his chest to assure him that he had a stomachache. "Although I have a stomachache, I still don't dare to touch you, sir... uh, well, I don't dare to touch a girl from the Zheng family."
Shishi Gege immediately looked at herself with complicated eyes, and Xiuxiu's expression immediately changed. But she just lowered her eyes quietly and said nothing.
Xiang Xiaoqiang closed his eyes slightly, and for a moment he really wanted to kill his stomachache.
He took a deep breath and smiled slightly:
"If you say that, it will cause trouble for you."
…
In the evening, Xiang Xiaoqiang followed Shi Shigege's suggestion and had a phone call with Zhu Yourong, using him as a scapegoat for Deputy Manager Zhang. At the same time, he told the Zheng family and himself a plan to exonerate themselves.
Zhu Yourong was very happy when he heard Xiang Xiaoqiang's plan to get the best of both worlds. He could finally preserve the reputations of both Xiang Xiaoqiang and the Zheng family at the same time. But Zhu Yourong couldn't bear to deal with the scapegoat Zhang Fushan. Xiang Xiaoqiang suggested that Zhu Yourong could be convicted in the court.
Issue a decree to pardon him. The reason can be many reasons, such as Zhang Fushan having a heart disease. Suggesting this to Xiaoqiang not only satisfies Zhu Yourong's compassion, but also deepens people's suspicion of the Zheng family: Oh, this
This guy is obviously the scapegoat of the Zheng family! His Majesty couldn't bear it and pardoned him.
In addition, Zhu Yourong didn't know about Zheng Yucong's running away from home. He was shocked when he heard about it from Xiaoqiang.
Xiang Xiaoqiang consciously wanted to help his future wife improve her status in the Queen's heart, so he claimed that Zheng Yucong had come up with the plan of Fourteen Princesses, and how Zheng Yucong was mistreated by Zheng Gongyin. In order not to be "tied into" the Shang family, Xiang Xiaoqiang also explained how
How she almost froze to death after escaping from the Changping Marquis Mansion, how she lost her property, how she was nearly gang-raped, how she was saved by him, how he brought her back to the headquarters, how she confessed her father's sins to him the next day,
How could he plead guilty to himself on behalf of his father and brother, plead for mercy on behalf of his father and brother... he said it all with added embarrassment.
Zhu Yourong was frightened when she heard this. She was grateful to Xiang Xiaoqiang and felt guilty towards Zheng Yucong. She murmured:
"Cong Cong... I'm so confused. I misunderstood Cong Cong... How much money did Cong Cong lose? I want to replenish it all for her."
Xiang Xiaoqiang felt happy, but he still said:
"Your Majesty...I don't know how much money Miss Zheng lost. I'll go back and ask..."
He said in his heart: You don't know how much money this girl has. If you knew that she lost more than ten million, you wouldn't say this. I think the Zheng family is richer than your Zhu family.
…
Zhu Yourong took care of things, arranged a car with Xiaoqiang, and "smuggled" Zheng Yucong to the villa where the stomachache was located overnight.
Xiang Xiaoqiang went in and took a look at the internal conditions of the villa. Although it was not luxurious, it was still quite comfortable. He saw that Zheng Yucong was also quite satisfied, so he nodded in approval.
"Ziteng," Xiang Xiaoqiang patted his shoulder with a smile, "Miss Zheng will be taken care of by you these days!"
His stomach aches made him shudder one after another, and he nodded nervously:
"Don't worry, Sir, Zi Teng will definitely work hard and take good care of... Miss Zheng..."
"Well, I'm relieved now. What does your family say?"
He felt a stomachache and felt the cold sweat on his forehead. He took a breath and said:
"It doesn't matter, I just said that I have a case to handle. I am living in the headquarters these days and can't go home... Haha, sir, don't worry, my subordinates cook very well. I have taken care of Miss Zheng's delicious food..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded with satisfaction and looked at Zheng Yucong, who was sitting there obediently and couldn't help laughing. He looked at Zheng Yuqiang with a murderous look and almost scared him to death.
Before leaving, Xiang Xiaoqiang signaled that she had a stomachache and avoided it. Then she hugged Zheng Yucong, talked sweetly for a while, and told her not to go out, to take care of herself here, and not to talk too much to the weird uncle...
Zheng Yuqing was shy, happy and reluctant at this time. She just looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang with a smile and nodded her head.
She was both excited and a little confused: What is going on? At the fortress dance, when she danced with Mr. Xiang, she only had some vague feelings and didn't even dare to think about it. Now her dream has come true so quickly! It's true.
I was hugged by Mr. Xiang!
However, if I had not decisively escaped from the house at that time, would I be where I am now?
After I was rescued by Mr. Xiang, if I hadn't shamelessly let him take me, would I be where I am now?
Yesterday morning, when I apologized to Mr. Xiang on behalf of my father and brother, if I had not said those words without shame, would I be here now?
Therefore, many beautiful things in life still require bold pursuit!
Zheng Yuqing lowered her head and thought happily.
