Chapter 61 Temporary Farewell

The Xiong Tingbi's unjust case was quickly concluded. Although Master Zhang used many quite disgraceful methods, his last touching words won praise from the court and the country and the streets and alleys. The people and officials who did not know the truth praised Master Zhang for being brave and resourceful, extraordinary talent, and starting from the inability to start, successfully finding out the real culprit of the defeat of Guangning and the loss of Liaodong. At the same time, he also sought justice for the sacrificed Ming soldiers, and was worthy of being Zhang Qingtian of the Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that Wei Zhongxian could speak louder when he reported the trial to Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty.

"The trial was concluded so quickly? Zhang Haogu is quite good." Ming Xizong grinded the most critical bearing of the bicycle wheel himself, while asking casually: "But the trial was so fast, do the court officials and the people complain that Zhang Haogu had a hasty case?"

"Your Majesty, I can guarantee this with my head. No matter whether it is the court or the people, there is no complaint." Wei Zhongxian replied with a smile: "The reason why Zhang Haogu tried the case so quickly is because he carefully investigated the case and was well prepared in the early stage. He also cleverly designed in the court to induce Wang Huazhen to tell the truth. Therefore, the people and the court not only have no complaints, but also praised Zhang Haogu for his fairness in handling cases and his extraordinary wit. He was a rare Master Qingtian in the Ming Dynasty. Even the British Duke Zhang Weixian and Zhang admired Zhang Haogu's methods of handling cases very much."

"Oh, it turns out that Zhang Haogu is more capable than I imagined." Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty said without raising his head: "Then you can do this matter, don't ask me anymore. You will also arrange the rewards of Zhang Haogu."

With the words of Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian really started to let go - Wang Huazhen lost his troops and humiliated the country, lost two major crimes of Guangning, and half of the major crimes of retreating without authorization. Qiu Jue, and was pardoned without permission! Xiong Tingbi was punished without permission, but there was a reason for the crime, and the crime was reduced by one level; he retreated without permission, but this was the result of Xiong Tingbi's joint discussion with Liaodong Governor Wang Huazhen. The same crime was reduced by one level, dismissed from office, and he was dismissed from his original home. He was dismissed from his original home and never mentioned it! Yao Zongyuan instructed his servants to bribe witnesses and destroy them.

The five halls retried and falsely accused innocent people, dismissed from prison, and handed over to the three courts to discuss the crimes seriously! Yang Yuan's behavior was lost, he was confused and he would never be dismissed! As for the chief judge of the five halls, Zhang Haogu, although he was too young and was not experienced in his work, he remembered great achievements once, but he was not promoted to the editor of the Hanlin Academy. However, the eunuch Song Jin, who was rewarded with great silver for his meritorious assistance in the trial, was promoted to the chief secretary of the rituals, which made Song Jin very happy.

"Old Taishan, Wang Huazhen's crime is so serious. Zhang Haogu has made a decree for him. How did you change it to Qiuxu?" Until the official document dictated by Wei Zhongxian, Yang Liuqi dared to ask carefully: "And Wang Huazhen deceived Lao Taishan and acted as an internal support for the Donglin Party. Why don't you not punish Wang Huazhen for being a crime? Instead, you gave him a reduction of his crime?"

"Yellow-haired boy, what do you know?" Wei Zhongxian glared at his son-in-law and sneered: "If our family kills Wang Huazhen now, what else can we punish the Donglin traitor? Wang Huazhen deserves to die, but he cannot die yet. There are more than three months left before Qiu Jue. Our family will use the case of Wang Huazhen's bribery to completely eliminate the six Donglin traitors!"

"It turns out that Old Taishan has considered this point. Now he killed Wang Huazhen. There is no reason for us to execute Donglin Liu traitors again." Yang Liuqi suddenly realized and admired Wei Zhongxian's methods. Feng Quan, one of the new celebrities in front of Wei Zhongxian, took the blame and said: "Nine thousand years old, this is all blamed for Zhang Haogu. He knew that there were other doubts in the Wang Huazhen case - Ye Xianggao, Zou Yuanbiao and Wang Ji, a few Donglin Party thieves may have been involved in the murder and silence case, but he ignored him and deliberately let these three thieves go. If he grasped this point, he might be able to implicate everyone in the Donglin Party."

"Feng Quan, our family knows that you are in a hurry to make achievements for our family, and they want to get rid of the Donglin traitor party in an instant." Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said slowly: "But you still lack a little overall vision. Our family wants to get rid of the Donglin traitor party in an instant, but we can't get rid of the Donglin traitor party in an instant! Why? The Donglin traitor party has been in charge of the government for decades, and has students and disciples all over the world. In the court and the people, we have deep roots. If our family is eager to achieve success, it will inevitably cause national turmoil and be unfavorable to the court. If our family is eager to achieve success, it will inevitably lead to national turmoil and be unfavorable to the court.

Stability is not conducive to the stability of the country and country in the Ming Dynasty. To deal with them, we must take it step by step, divide them first, and then deal with them in batches and successively. This will not only be more effective, but also minimize the losses and impact on the court caused by the removal of the Donglin traitors and the impact on the court. Therefore, our family thinks that Zhang Haogu handled it well, deliberately did not pursue the responsibility of the Donglin Party leader Ye Xianggao, so as not to cause trouble, and force all the Donglin Party traitors to the opposite side of our family, so that our family can free up their hands to concentrate on dealing with the Donglin Six traitors."

"Would Zhang Haogu be so loyal and smart? I'm afraid he was just anxious to rescue his father-in-law from the prison, so he didn't want to make things too big and implicate too many people, so as not to live in the prison for the rest of his life." Feng Quan murmured in his heart, quietly turned his eyes away, and sneaked to see Cui Chengxiu, the number one think tank under Wei Zhongxian's tent. It happened that Cui Chengxiu was also looking at him, and his eyes met, and immediately knocked out a series of invisible Mars. The two of them also cursed in their hearts: "Damn it, sooner or later, kill you!"

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law is stupid, and there is still something unknown. Please give me some advice." Yang Liuqi said respectfully. After Wei Zhongxian nodded and approved, Yang Liuqi asked: "Father-in-law, Zhang Haogu is capable and smart, and is a rare talent. You have said many times that you want to promote him. This time he has made such a great contribution to the court, why didn't you take the opportunity to upgrade his official position to a certain level? Also, Zhang Haogu's father-in-law Xiong Tingbi, although he has a bad temper, is a rare talent. This time, you nodded and you can save your life. Why didn't your father-in-law take the opportunity to win him over and let him use it for you? Instead, he dismissed him back to his hometown and never used it?"

"You don't understand this even more." Wei Zhongxian smiled sinisterly and said lightly: "It's just that our family wants to use Xiong Tingbi, so we add a never-nouncing thing to him. It's just that our family wants Zhang Haogu's absolute loyalty, so we don't rush to be promoted to his official position."

"I want to use Xiong Tingbi, so I will never use it? I want Zhang Haogu's loyalty, so I won't be promoted to his official position?" Yang Liuqi became more and more confused as he heard it. Only Cui Chengxiu and Feng Quan next to him knew it well, and said to himself: "Nine Thousand Years Old, it's really amazing."

…………

After Wei Zhongxian officially approved the red certificate in the official document of releasing Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi was detained for three years before he was released. On the day he was released from prison, Xiong Zhaogui, Xiong Zhaolian and Xiong Hu three brothers and sisters were guarding the door of the East Factory prison early. When Xiong Tingbi walked out of the famous East Factory gate under Xiao Chuan's personal escort, Xiong Hu three brothers and sisters rushed forward, hugged Xiong Tingbi and cried loudly, and said goodbye to their father.

Love, Xiong Tingbi, who was so strong that he cried, couldn't help but cry, hugged his three children and cried bitterly, glad that he had lived this time. Xiao Chuan waited for a long time until Xiong Tingbi's family was almost crying, and Xiao Chuan laughed and said, "Mr. Xiong... Oh, no, I should call Uncle Xiong now, go home quickly, someone must be impatient at your house. Besides, this is the East Factory, and others will gossip after staying for a long time."

"Thank you, Lord Xiao." Xiong Tingbi wiped away his tears and pointed at Xiao Chuan and said to his children: "Children, this is Lord Xiao Chuan Xiao. He is in the East Factory Prison for his father. Thanks to his careful care, he did not suffer. You should thank him for his father... What? What are you laughing at? What amusing?"

"Father, Lord Xiao has to thank you, but you have to thank another person even more. And, thank you little sister." Xiong Zhaolian replied with a smile. When he heard his second brother say this, Xiong Hu's pink face immediately blushed to the root of his neck. Xiao Chuan also smiled and said, "Uncle Xiong, don't thank me. I should take care of you. Besides, even if I want to thank you, someone has already thanked you heavily."

"What are you talking about?" Xiong Tingbi became more and more confused as he heard it. At this time, Xiao Chuan urged: "Uncle Xiong, you go back quickly. I will hire you the carriage you go home." As he said that, Xiao Chuan pushed Xiong Tingbi onto the carriage he had prepared long ago. On the other side, Xiong Hu and his brothers got on the carriage one after another, talking to Xiong Tingbi at home, while rushing back to Ankang Hutong.

When he arrived at the door of Ankang Hutong, Xiong Zhaogui's wife and several children were also guarding the door. When the grandparents and grandchildren met, they could not help but cry again after a long time of separation. After crying with their grandson for a long time, Xiong Tingbi remembered the initial question and asked: "Zhaogui, Zhaolian, Hu'er, didn't you say that someone was waiting for me here? Why didn't you see anyone?" Xiong Hu's face turned red again, and he lowered his head and did not dare to answer. Xiong Zhaolian smiled and said, "Father, he is not showing up in front of our house yet. You will know when you go in."

"Who is it? Why is it all mysterious?" Xiong Tingbi was covered in confusion. When he stepped into his own room, he suddenly saw the presiding officer Zhang Haogu, a few days ago, standing respectfully in the lobby to welcome his return. Behind him was a young man dressed in a servant. Xiong Tingbi was shocked, "Mr. Zhang, what are you doing? Also, why are you in my house?"

"My nephew Zhang Haogu, I have met Uncle Xiong." Master Zhang did not dare to be negligent, and led Zhang Shitou to kneel down on his knees and kowtowed. Xiong Tingbi was so shocked that he quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Zhang, you must not give this great gift. You are my Xiong Tingbi's life-saving benefactor. How could I still accept such a great gift like you?"

"Dad, just let him kowtow, he should kowtow." Xiong Hu said softly with a red face. Looking at his daughter's shy look, he recalled Wang Huazhen's words in the court. Xiong Tingbi immediately understood, pointed at Xiong Hu, and then pointed at Master Zhang, and asked stutteringly: "Is it difficult... Could it be that Wang Huazhen said... that my son-in-law is him?"

"Dad——." Xiong Hu's face was completely red to the base of his neck, and he lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. Master Zhang did not blush at all and kowtowed quickly and said, "Uncle Xiong, although his nephew and Ling Qianjin are in love, they are still in a friend's relationship. If my uncle is kind and can be betrothed with Ling Qianjin and his nephew, then the nephew will definitely not forget the great kindness of Lord Taishan, and will definitely make Ling Qianjin happy for life."

Xiong Tingbi was stunned and said with a wry smile for a while: "I didn't expect that having a beautiful daughter would have such benefits? At least when I was in prison, my son-in-law would come out to help me."

After each of them, Xiong Hu was still honest and took the initiative to tell the story of her meeting with Master Zhang. Of course, she didn't dare to say that Master Zhang planned to rape her, but she just said that she used up all the money at the Linqing Wharf and met Master Zhang for his wealth and helped him overcome the difficulties. Then Xiong Hu told Xiong Tingbi that Master Zhang vowed to rescue Xiong Tingbi in order to pursue him, passed the exam, and won the trust and favor of Wei Zhongxian. This began to be very difficult.

The rescue operation of Xiong Tingbi, from being almost plotted in the Golden Palace to begging Zou Yuanbiao to delaying time, and also spending a lot of money to open up the upper and lower joints and finally exposing Wang Wenyan's trick after going through a lot of hardships. Xiong Hu also said it in the original form. After Xiong Hu finally finished speaking, Xiong Tingbi had already sighed countless times and said countless words, "Thanks to Mr. Zhang, thanks to him. If it weren't for him, my head would definitely not be able to be saved."

"Father, Mr. Zhang really has nothing to say to our Xiong family." Xiong Zhaogui finally said justice to Mr. Zhang, "And he is sincere to his younger sister. Anyway, my younger sister has not promised her, father, you might as well make good things for them."

When Master Zhang heard Xiong Zhaogui say this, he was naturally overjoyed, and Zhang Shitou smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't be closed. Xiong Hu married Master Zhang, and Xiong Hu's dowry maid naturally belonged to him. Only Xiong Hu was ashamed and happy as he lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. However, Xiong Tingbi remained silent unexpectedly and remained silent for a long time, which made Master Zhang and Xiong Hu feel mixed, fearing that Xiong Tingbi would not agree to the marriage.

"Mr. Zhang, logically speaking, you have great kindness to my Xiong family and have a crush on Hu'er, so I shouldn't have stopped you." After a long time, Xiong Tingbi said slowly: "But have you considered it, are you really willing to marry my daughter?"

"Of course I do." Master Zhang nodded excitedly and replied. Xiong Tingbi stared at Master Zhang and said slowly: "I mean, have you considered the consequences of marrying my daughter? I am now a sinner who has been dismissed from office and will never be used by the country villager. If you marry my daughter, you will inevitably be implicated by our Xiong family, which will be very unfavorable to your future. Maybe, it will also cause you to lose your current official position."

"Dad, are you saying true?" Xiong Hu asked in shock. Xiong Tingbi nodded and said seriously: "If Mr. Zhang marry you, he will become a relative of the criminals. The censors and censors in the court will not let him go. Moreover, he has just tried my case and turned around and immediately married my daughter. Although he is so public, it will become unfair. Even though he is selfless, it will become selfish. At that time, the rumors are impeached together, and officials like Yang Yuan are encouraged to make money. It is certain that Mr. Zhang will fall into the ground. Maybe he will be imprisoned and bear the blame."

"Ah!" Xiong Hu screamed, his pink face that was red just now was no longer as beautiful. Master Zhang shouted excitedly, "No! I can't be this official, nor do I want this fame. I just want to marry Xiong Hu! I am an official for Xiong Hu, and it is natural for her to not want this official for her."

"Have you considered it?" Xiong Tingbi stared at Master Zhang with a squinted eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Have you really considered it? You are the new Tanhua, a famous man in front of Nine Thousand Years. The emperor is also very eye-catching about you. He is also talented and has a great future. You are definitely unlimited. Are you really willing to give up all this for my daughter?"

"I'd like to give up." Master Zhang nodded firmly. Xiong Tingbi smiled and said slowly: "Okay, I agree to this marriage. I'll ask your parents to ask the matchmaker to propose marriage."

"Thank you, Father-in-law!" Master Zhang cheered, hugged Xiong Hu in front of Xiong Tingbi, and shouted excitedly: "Huhu, have you heard it? Your father agreed! We agreed to marry us!" Xiong Hu forced a smile, but his eyes were full of hesitation and loss...

…………

With Xiong Tingbi's personal promise, Master Zhang immediately took action and sent someone to send a letter back to Linqing, asking his parents to come to Beijing to arrange marriage for him. When he was officially defeated by Tanhua, Master Zhang had already sent someone to Linqing to send a letter to report the good news. Zhang Laocai also replied and praised his son, promising to bring eleven wives to Beijing to see his son as soon as possible, but he has not come yet. It is believed that just a few days after he was sent out, Xiong Hu suddenly took the initiative to find Master Zhang.

When we met, Mr. Zhang was concentrating on the days in his study, calculating when his parents would arrive in the capital and when they could hold a wedding with Xiong Hu, so Xiong Hu didn't even notice it when Xiong Hu walked to the side. Finally, Mr. Zhang shouted in Master Zhang's ear, and Mr. Zhang suddenly woke up, "Huhu, why are you willing to come to me today? I went to see you a few days ago, and you didn't even see me."

"If you go to my house, of course I can't see you." Xiong Hu smiled and replied, "My father and my two brothers are at home, why do I have the nerve to meet you?"

Xiong Hu obviously came here after carefully dressing up today. Her already beautiful face was particularly attractive. Her jade face was as delicate as a flower, with a bright red texture, and a little cherry mouth, which made her slender figure look graceful and tempting. Seeing that, our eldest son Zhang swallowed his saliva, and he couldn't help but say lustfully: "Huhu, you are so beautiful today."

"What about me usually? I'm not pretty anymore?" Xiong Hu asked mischievously, tilting his head. Master Zhang nodded like pounding garlic and replied silly: "Everyone is beautiful, all are beautiful. My corals are the most beautiful no matter when."

"Good mouth and smooth tongue." Xiong Hu blushed and gently pinched Master Zhang's shoulder. Master Zhang took the opportunity to hold her little hand and pulled Xiong Hu into his arms. Xiong Hu was also particularly obedient and well-behaved today. Not only did he not resist, he also blushed and took the initiative to sit on Master Zhang's lap and buried his face in Master Zhang's arms. Master Zhang was overjoyed and hugged Xiong Hu tightly, sniffing Xiong Hu's hair and body fragrance vigorously, and praised: "Huhu, I'd be so obedient every day."

Xiong Hu red face and didn't speak, but buried her red pink face completely in Master Zhang's arms. Master Zhang was surprised and happy. Seeing that there was no one around and the door was bolted by Xiong Hu, he boldly stretched out his hand and slowly reached into Xiong Hu's coat. He gently stroked it through his underwear. The weather was already hot, and Xiong Hu was wearing thin clothes. Through his thin underwear, Master Zhang could easily feel Xiong Hu's skin as silk as silk, extremely tender and smooth. Xiong Hu not only did not refuse, but instead took the initiative to raise his hot pretty face, closed his almond eyes, and pouted his red little mouth to kiss. Master Zhang of course would not be polite. He lowered his head and kissed him hard, sucking the lilac tongue that Xiong Hu took the initiative to spit.

With a wild kiss, Master Zhang's hands began to move unscrupulously. First, he stretched out his underwear, held Xiong Hu's chicken head and breasts gently rubbed it, making Xiong Hu panting and panting, and then freed his hands to untie Xiong Hu's belt. Xiong Hu closed his eyes and snuggled in Master Zhang's arms like a pool of soft mud and moaned gently, and let Master Zhang use it half-push and half-push. The pair of petite strawberries on his chest gradually rose and eventually fell into Master Zhang's wolf kiss.

The dress was scattered, the bright red bellyband was thrown on the table, and the jade-carved jade-carved body was completely exposed in front of Master Zhang, and his jade body was spread across the bed of Master Zhang. Then Master Zhang quickly took off all his clothes that were in the way, and pounced on him with a lewd smile, "Madam, I'm here."

"Lighter, my first time... Woo, few bad dogs..."

I don’t know that after a long time, Master Zhang finally lay on the bed with satisfaction, and hugged Xiong Hu, who was sweating profusely, and his big hands wandered and caressed her tender skin like a fat. Xiong Hu leaned his pink face against Master Zhang’s naked chest, while enjoying Master Zhang’s gentle caress, and asked softly: “My husband, do you remember the first time we met?”

"Of course I remember." Master Zhang smiled and said, "How could I forget it? That day, I was almost beaten to death by you."

"Don't remember my grudges! Don't remember what I'm not good to you!" Xiong Hu said with a stern face, and then asked softly: "Honey, if I was really deceived by you that day, would you bully me like you are today?"

"It will definitely." Master Zhang told the truth, biting the soft red strawberry on Xiong Hu's chest and laughing: "I was shocked when I saw you for the first time that day. I fell in love with you at first sight and swore that I must marry you. If you really fell in love with me that day, I would definitely not let you go. But don't worry, if I really succeeded that day, I will be responsible to the end."

"I believe in you." Xiong Hu pressed the eldest son's head nervously and closed his eyes and murmured: "Because I know that you are the best husband in the world and the most responsible man in the world. Even if you get me, you will not forget me and abandon me."

"Huhu, what's wrong with you today?" Master Zhang finally found something wrong and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Tell me quickly."

"Nothing." Xiong Hu Zhanyan smiled and said gently: "I'm about to marry you. I'm a little nervous. I'm afraid that after marrying me, you will become another person and will not be as good to me as before."

"How could it be?" Master Zhang hugged Xiong Hu tightly again and said affectionately: "No matter at any time, I will be as good to you."

Xiong Hu nodded and said softly, "I believe in you." After that, Xiong Hu came to Master Zhang's ear again and said softly, "Actually, when I saw you for the first time at Linqing Wharf that day, I liked you very much. If I was really bullied by you, I would have to marry you."

"It's still time to marry now." Master Zhang smiled lewdly, then turned over and pressed Xiong Hu under him. Xiong Hu opened his arms and hugged Master Zhang tightly, but tears were already flashing in his eyes...

…………

As the evening approached, Xiong Hu struggled from Master Zhang's arms, put on his clothes and combed his messed hair, and walked out of the room with twists and turns. Master Zhang originally wanted to send Xiong Hu back, but Xiong Hu, who had a blush on his face, pushed Master Zhang away, lowered his head and said, "No, I'm walking with you like this, and I'm seen by the people in my family. It would be strange if I'm not embarrassed."

Master Zhang was right when he thought about it - after all, Xiong Tingbi's famous hot temper was placed there, and no one would encourage pre-marital sex in this era. Master Zhang changed his words and said, "Okay, hire a sedan chair to go back. In a few days, my father came to the capital and I will go to your house to propose marriage immediately." Xiong Hu nodded, looked at Master Zhang affectionately, and then slowly walked out of the room with the wall. Seeing this scene, Master Zhang couldn't help but wonder, "Why is this ghost girl completely different today from usual? Is it the legendary pre-marital phobia?"

That night, Mr. Zhang actually had the opportunity to think about why Xiong Hu had so many strange behaviors. Unfortunately, in order to consolidate his position as the chief think tank of the eunuch party, Cui Chengxiu, who had already started fighting with Feng Quan, sent someone to invite Mr. Zhang, who is also a newcomer to the eunuch party, to his home for a banquet. He also called Xiao Lingxi, a concubine from a famous prostitute, to accompany him to bring his relationship with Mr. Zhang closer to his relationship with Mr. Zhang in order to establish an alliance to deal with Feng Quan who has been aggressive recently. As a result, Mr. Zhang was drunk and was carried home by a sedan chair and fell asleep on the bed, missing the last opportunity to keep Mr. Zhang...
