Chapter 351: The Pride of Scholars (Three)

The city gates were wide open, and dozens of people came out in a row.

The first person, holding a jade plate, came to Xu Haifeng and others, and respectfully showed up.

Xu Haifeng picked it up casually, flipped it over twice, and immediately realized that this was the 60s of the roster of Cang and the two states.

"Mr. Zeng abandons the darkness and turns to the light, so he will continue to take charge of the affairs of these two states." Xu Haifeng said softly.

In his heart, he had no good feelings for Zeng Zhihong.

After all, Zeng Zhihong's reputation is indeed too bad, so no matter how talented he is, he is a person who cannot be given a reusable person.

However, it is an extraordinary period. Under the chaos in the north, the Han officials who once surrendered to the Huns were all focused here.

They were waiting for Xu Haifeng to deal with Zeng Zhihong.

Their direction is very important for these Han people who still control the power in various places.

When dealing with them, even though Xu Haifeng's army had many different voices. Li Guanying and Liu Junshu insisted on being killed without mercy, Jiang Kongming proposed a compromise solution.

No matter how sin you committed in advance, as long as you can surrender to the Black Flag Army, everything will not be written off in one go.

However, when they really surrender, after a few years, when people forget about this, what awaits them will have a completely different fate.

This is called settlement after autumn. Xu Haifeng clearly remembers that when Jiang Kongming said this sentence sly, the expression of the knife hidden in his smile once made the two commanders' commanders' hearts palpitations.

Among all those who defected to the Huns, Zeng Zhihong was undoubtedly the one who did the most thoroughly.

If even he is acquitted and he is in his original position, then the Han generals who are on the sidelines will naturally make the right choice.

Therefore, whether Xu Haifeng is willing or not, this is his only choice.

"Thank you, Commander, but you are kind to forgive me for your good intentions," said the Qing young man.

"Zeng Zhihong is your father."

"Yes, in the lower Zengkewei, he is the eldest son of his father and the eldest son, and he has met the general."

"You're welcome, Mr. Zeng, what's wrong with Ling Zun just now? Why can't you bear it?"

Zeng Kewei's face darkened. He lowered his head and said softly: "My father once said that he would hand over the two states to the general. Then, the descendants of the Zeng family immediately retired and would not be allowed to become officials within three generations."

"Ha ha……"

A burst of laughter came, and Li Guanying said loudly: "Does Lingzun also know how to write the word "shame"?"

Zeng Kewei's face flushed, he took a step forward, glaring at him: "What did you say?"

"I'm talking about the righteousness of heaven and earth. If you don't know about others, don't do it unless you do it yourself. Am I wrong?" Li Guanying sneered repeatedly.

The thin body was trembling and trembling, Zeng Kewei's eyes were red, and he suddenly said, "Cang, the two states have not seen any chaos for several months, and have not experienced war. May I ask General, who is the merit?"

Li Guanying was stunned. He never expected Zeng Kewei to say such words.

"Hmph, there is no chaos, and there is no war. Where did Mr. Zeng know?" After a few breaths, Li Guanying asked coldly.

"You ask me how to know, ha... All the 60s of the roster here are based on the prescription. I am sure that Cang and the two states are the two most stable states in the north of the Han Dynasty." Zeng Kewei replied proudly.

Everyone looked at each other. If he said it was true, then his words were reasonable. Under the intimidation of the Huns' cavalry, the only two states in the north of the Han Dynasty could ensure their living and working.

"Haha... According to Mr. Zeng, Ling Zun must have made achievements but failed." Liu Junshu suddenly interrupted.

"Right and injustice are in the hearts of the people, and there is no need for both of my father to worry about the merits and demerits." Zeng Kewei said coldly.

"Is that right? But please forgive me and general bluntly say that the killing of the son of the martyr is enough to show his character and merits." Li Guanying's tone was also cold, as if there was no emotion at all.

"Hehe..." A bitter smile appeared on his face, and Zeng Kewei's head was raised high, never lowering a single minute.

Lee Guanying was furious. It was the first time that she had encountered such a shameless person.

His face turned stern and was about to scold him sternly, suddenly a worm-like voice came from his ears: "General Li, I'm afraid there is another reason for this."

Li Guanying's heart was shaking, and he naturally heard that this was Xu Haifeng's voice.

He himself is also a smart person. He just recognized Zeng Zhihong's actions and felt ashamed of being with him, so his words were extremely sharp.

However, when Xu Haifeng reminded him at this time, he immediately felt something was wrong.

"Dear generals, I have something to say."

A man suddenly strode out, knelt in front of Xu Haifeng, and whispered loudly.

"Who are you……"

"The youngest Chen Yinggao was the leader of General Chen Xinhong's guarding during his lifetime. When General Chen left the city to face the crisis, he sent his youngest general, the ten-year-old youngest son Chen Jianqiang to Lord Zeng's mansion."

"What after?"

"After..." Chen Yinggao raised his head, and tears were already everywhere on his face: "The Huns forced Lord Zeng to kill Mr. Chen Jianqiang. Lord Zeng killed with his own hands in front of Maimati... and killed..."

Speaking of this, he was crying and could not continue.

"That's my younger brother Zeng Keling." It burst out coldly from Zeng Kewei's mouth, but it was like a big rush hitting Li Guanying's heart one by one.

"Not good..." Xu Haifeng suddenly cried out.

Everyone looked at him. It was extremely rare that this great master was so out of control.

Xu Haifeng took a step forward, suddenly grabbed Zeng Kewei's arm, and asked, "Where is Lord Zeng?"

A trace of grief flashed through Zengkewei's eyes, and he closed his eyes.

"If you rush there now, maybe it's still time. Do you also hope Ling Zun die?" Xu Haifeng shouted suddenly.

Zeng Kewei trembled all over, opened his eyes suddenly and said, "The backyard of the home."

Everyone's eyes dazzled, and Xu Haifeng and Zeng Kewei had disappeared from their original place.

From afar, Xu Haifeng's voice came from afar: "Come on..."

"squeak……"

The wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and Zeng Kewei quickly entered, but as soon as his eyes saw clearly the situation in the room, his body couldn't help but stand still.

Zeng Zhihong sat in a chair, holding a small tablet in front of his chest.

His face was peaceful, as if he had received a kind of satisfaction, like a fighter who had been fighting repeatedly, finally won the highest medal.

However, he could no longer stand up with his own strength.

"Dad..."

Unable to suppress his sorrow, Zeng Kewei knelt on the ground, walked to the chair, and choked silently.

After a while, a group of people came one after another. Seeing the scene inside, they couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts.

Li Guanying's face turned pale. Without saying a word, he stepped in and knelt down heavily.

"Dongdongdongdong..." Three loud kowtows alarmed Zeng Kewei, who was heartbroken. He turned around, his face covered with tears.

"I am ignorant, believe in rumors, and ask Brother Zeng to atone for his sins.

Zeng Kewei's lips trembled a few times. He was in a state of great excitement, but he couldn't speak.

Xu Haifeng slowly stepped forward and came to Zeng Zhihong. In front of everyone, he lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground.

"Who said that scholars have no pride? Mr. Zeng is so noble, please accept Xu's greetings.

Zeng Kewei was shocked and forced to get up and helped Xu Haifeng up.

What an identity Xu Haifeng is at this time? Anyone with a little brain can foresee the rise of a powerful dynasty, and the master of this dynasty is Xu Haifeng.

Zeng Kewei naturally understood this deeply, so he did not dare to neglect anything.

After all, the person in front of him is very likely to be the future Emperor of Han. This ceremony is probably unbearable.

Xu Haifeng stood up and said to Zeng Kewei: "Brother Zeng, what are your plans in the future."

"Of course, I followed the order of my father. After the people of the two states were stable, Zeng closed his door and no longer cared about the world."

Xu Haifeng's face froze and he suddenly asked, "Brother Zeng, you said just now that the 60s of the rosters in these two places are all from your hands, why is that?"

"My father was heartbroken and made me exhausted, so I entrust my affairs to the two states."

"So, you were actually in charge of the affairs of the two states in the past few months?"

“That’s right.”

Xu Haifeng nodded with satisfaction. It was extremely rare for this person to have such talent. He said, "Then, please continue to work hard."

Zeng Kewei's face changed and he said, "Master Xu, my father once had a lasting order..."

"I know." Xu Haifeng interrupted him and said, "Ling Zun has sacrificed enough for the people of these two states. But as today, Xu is even more a martial artist and has important things in mind. How can he take over the two states?"

"The Black Flag Army is full of talents, and I heard that the Grand Secretary of Jiang knew everything and knew everything, which is a hundred times better than the one below."

"He is not here." Xu Haifeng interrupted him again, stretched out his palm, patted him heavily on his shoulder, and said, "Brother Zeng, Cang, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the two states, but Lord Zeng exchanged his reputation for his lifetime. If you want him to die in the nine springs, then I will not force you."

Zeng Kewei choked and felt depressed, but he could no longer say a word.

Xu Haifeng turned around, bowed deeply to Zeng Zhihong's body, and said, "Xu is full of important things, but he cannot see you off."
