Chapter 234: Arrogant at First but Respectful Later

Zhang Mao left the Zhongshan Hou Mansion in a daze.

He never thought that he would become a part of this dirty deal!

Breaking one of his own sons' legs?

What kind of deal is this?

You damn savage!

You should tell all the princes openly and openly that you want to sit in my current position as Zhang Mao, and you want to be the number one in the honour!

Why do you have to humiliate an old guy like me like this?

Zhang Mao sat in the carriage with a livid face, clutching the crutch in his hand tightly!

Of course he has reason to be angry!

Of course he has reason to be angry!

Back then, when this damn savage was just a savage, it was Zhang Mao and Tang Yan who personally gave this savage an identity after his meritorious service!

It was Zhang Mao who gave all his strength to support this damn savage, summoned noble men to serve as his bodyguards, and followed him to take charge of the Beijing army!

Zhang Mao even married his precious granddaughter to this damn savage just to strengthen this savage's respect for him!

But what happens in the end?

This damn beast!

Now he actually took the opportunity to take away his position!

Zhang Mao's face was livid with anger. For a moment, he even wanted to use all his energy connections to directly reveal that Tang Hao was a savage, and then let this damn barbarian be ruined and die without a burial place!

However, Zhang Mao did not dare to do this.

After calming down, he sadly discovered that he couldn't even do anything now!

Because, it’s not like no one has done this before, but the final result is that this damn barbarian is still the Marquis of Zhongshan, and he still holds the power of the Beijing army!

Because of the Nanyuan Tiger Case, and because of his life-saving grace to His Majesty the Emperor, this damn barbarian has had absolute power in the Ming Dynasty since then, which is comparable to the emperor's trust as a "gold medal for immunity from death"!

Not to mention Zhang Mao, even Liu Jin and Li Dongyang, who were once in power, were defeated by this barbarian's counterattack. What could he do to resist this damn barbarian from launching a crazy revenge?

For a moment, Zhang Mao felt very desperate.

He is already old, and now he is very old!

Don't say anything against Tang Hao, he can't even control the Xungui Group now!

Zhu Hui is the best example!

If this damn idiot had discussed it with him before breaking off the engagement, or informed him, Zhu Hui would not have to suffer these hardships today!

However, Zhu Hui did not, and took it upon himself to break off the engagement with Marquis Zhongshan, and then suffered bloody revenge from Marquis Zhongshan and the young emperor!

Perhaps in the end, Zhu Hui had nothing left except his life and the protection of a duke, let alone the dignity of a duke!

Zhang Mao was thinking a lot, but he didn't dare to take any action.

However, when the carriage stopped and he returned to the British mansion, he was about to face a problem.

No one knows what a painful decision it is to break one's own son's leg with one's own hands.

What Zhang Mao is facing now is such a choice.

But what if not?

That damn barbarian has made it very clear!

Either Zhang Mao breaks Zhang Lun's leg himself, and then asks the court to depose Zhang Lun as the prince; or Tang Hao takes action himself, and then asks the little emperor to issue an order to depose Zhang Lun!

There seems to be no difference between the two.

However, all fools understand that if the second result is true, there will be no room for relaxation between the British Duke and the Marquis of Zhongshan!

Zhang Mao is naturally not afraid of glutinous rice balls, he is not afraid of anyone!

But how many years can he live, and how many years can Tang Hao live?

When Zhang Maoyi dies, if those damn barbarians do not miss their old friendship and directly launch bloody revenge on the British government, will their descendants be Tang Hao's rivals by then?

His own family knows his own affairs, and none of Zhang Mao's descendants are successful. Otherwise, why would he endure so hard and refuse to die?

It’s not that he’s greedy for life, it’s that he doesn’t dare to die!

Once he died, the British government was destined to decline, and all his descendants were dandy wastes, including his eldest son Zhang Lun!

Even if there are other nobles and nobles to support him, who will really help him when faced with a Zhongshan Marquis who is out for revenge?

Let's see, today Tang Hao suddenly got violent and hurt someone, beating Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Ding, until he vomited blood. How did the other Dukes react?

They are all afraid, they are all frightened, they are all intimidated by the ferocious arrogance of that barbarian!

What kind of noble group, what kind of common advancement and retreat, what kind of marriage alliance, it’s all fucking bullshit!

When we are really in danger, when we are really in danger, it would be great if these damn bastards don't add insult to injury!

Zhang Mao took a deep breath, and then slowly walked into the Duke's Mansion.

Meeting the butler head-on, he asked in a deep voice: "Where is the prince?"

When the housekeeper heard this, he looked strange and hesitated to speak.

Zhang Mao's face suddenly darkened, and he scolded sternly: "I'm asking you, where is that beast now?"

"In the room!" the housekeeper replied hurriedly: "The prince brought back an oiran last night..."

Oiran? !

Zhang Mao raised his head and glanced at the sky, only to see the scorching sun hanging high.

Very good, prostitution in the daytime, romantic!

You really don’t want this kind of beast!

"Take a few strong soldiers and follow me!"

Zhang Mao put down these words and walked directly to the courtyard where Zhang Lun was.

The Duke of Ying's mansion is very large, and the battlefield is extremely wide, so it is divided into several independent courtyards, with a solemn order and clear hierarchy.

For example, the prince Zhang Lun occupies a huge courtyard second only to Zhang Mao's. It not only has hundreds of rooms, but also has rockery and flowing water, etc., which also gives Zhang Lun the capital to keep hundreds of concubines.

When Zhang Mao brought people to Zhang Lun's house, he heard waves of unbearable gasps and obscene laughter coming from the house.

Because all the servants along the way were driven away, the prince Lun didn't know that he was about to face a disaster.

When the housekeeper saw that the Duke's eyes began to turn red, he finally realized that something was wrong. He immediately asked several strong soldiers to break in, and then invited the couple... No, the prince out without saying anything.

Zhang Lun was dragged out of bed by Jianzu in dishevel. He was about to play something exciting with the courtesan, but suddenly several big men broke in and dragged him out without saying anything. You can imagine how angry he was.

Especially when Zhang Lun looked around and found that this motherfucker was still his family, he immediately started to curse wildly, even punching and kicking.

Jianzu didn't dare to fight back, so he could only let him beat and scold, and dragged him to the courtyard.

When Zhang Lun saw his father's gloomy and scary face, he didn't dare to make trouble. He straightened his clothes with a little fear, and then complained in a low voice: "In broad daylight, I don't know why he is crazy..."

Hearing this, Zhang Mao was almost mad.

When did this son who made him proud become such a ghost now?

"I only ask you one thing!" Zhang Mao suppressed his anger, "What did you do to Shu'er?"

This question was unreasonable and inexplicable.

However, Zhang Lun's reaction was somewhat intense, because Zhang Jingshu was now his rage switch.

As long as he recalled that this money-losing thing had ridiculed him as a father after climbing up the ladder, Zhang Lun was furious!

"Dad!"

"That bitch is just like her mother, both are bitches!"

"If I hadn't been drunk, her mother would have taken the opportunity to climb onto my bed, how could she have given birth to such an unfilial thing..."

Based on Zhang Mao's understanding of Zhang Lun, he could roughly guess what was going on, but some details had not been figured out.

But seeing the appearance of this useless son, Zhang Mao knew that he had to break one of his legs today no matter what!

"Hold him down!"

"Break one of his legs!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Zhang Mao in disbelief.

Even the housekeeper and the guards did not dare to do anything. They just thought that their master was so angry that he said such cruel words.

After all, if the prince who is to inherit the title breaks a leg, the title will have nothing to do with him.

The last person who lost the title in this way was called Tang Shaozong!

Tang Lun was not afraid at all, but sneered.

"Old man, I think you are crazy?"

"Break my leg? Then who will inherit your title?"

"Do you want my Zhang family to lose the title? In broad daylight, if you are going crazy, go back to your yard and go crazy!"

After hearing these words, Zhang Mao finally made up his mind.

"Rong'er can also be the prince!"

"I will ask the court to abolish your position as the prince, and then canonize him as the prince when Rong'er comes of age!"

Zhang Mao's eyes were red, and he turned his head to look at the housekeeper.

"Now, break one of his legs for me!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lun finally panicked.

Zhang Rong is his eldest son. He is now fourteen or fifteen years old. If he really comes of age, it will only take three or four years. Zhang Mao can wait!

So, he is really playing, not joking!

Zhang Lun immediately knelt on the ground and began to confess his mistakes affectionately.

"Dad!"

"Lun'er knows he is wrong, Dad!"

"I really know I am wrong!"

The housekeeper and the soldiers still did not move.

Even the housekeeper advised: "Master, you can't just be angry for a moment..."

"I am not angry for a moment, but this evil creature has provoked someone who should not be provoked!"

Zhang Mao closed his eyes painfully and sighed: "If I don't break one of his legs, he will die, and that person will also take bloody revenge on my country's mansion!"

"Now, do you understand?"

This time, the housekeeper was stunned for a long time, and then gave an order.

"Hold him down!"

The soldiers did not dare to hesitate any longer, and directly held down the pale Zhang Lun by force.

It was not until one of his legs was lifted high by one person that Zhang Lun realized the seriousness of the problem.

But he couldn't figure it out. He had never provoked any big shots, so why did he suffer such cruel and bloody revenge?

"Dad!"

"Did you make a mistake, Dad?"

"I really don't have any princes, Dad!"

Zhang Lun defended himself with all his might, but his words sounded so ridiculous and ironic to Zhang Mao.

He didn't even know who he had offended, and he only knew how to eat, drink, gamble and play with women all day long. If such a person really became the Duke of England, it would be a disaster for the Zhang family.

Zhang Mao turned around reluctantly, and then waved his hand heavily.

Seeing this scene, Jianzu didn't hesitate, raised the iron rod and smashed it hard!

The next moment, Zhang Lun's shrill wails resounded throughout the venue, startling everyone in the courtyard.

When Xu Guangzuo's sister and Zhang Lun's first wife saw her, she didn't make any move. Instead, she stood quietly in the distance, looking with joy at her husband who was covering his broken leg and wailing in front of her!

Zhang Mao stepped forward, pulled out her eldest grandson Zhang Rong from her arms, and scolded: "Open your eyes and see clearly, this is what will happen to your father!"

"Don't act wantonly, don't be a dandy. You, Zhang Rong, will be the eldest son of my British Duke. If you are not good at literature or martial arts, I will break one of your legs and completely destroy your lineage. Understand this Yet?"

Zhang Rong stared blankly at the scene in front of him, then nodded with tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Zhang Xu immediately stepped forward, protected her son in her arms, and looked up at Zhang Mao stubbornly.

"You didn't teach your son well. That's your responsibility. I can teach my son myself!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mao was struck by lightning, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of energy. His originally straight back suddenly became hunched over, making him look more than ten years older.

He did not dare to look at his daughter-in-law's eyes, but looked at Zhang Rong again, and said in an almost pleading tone: "You must be successful! You must be successful! The British government cannot have no successors, no!"

Mrs. Zhang Xu snorted coldly, then turned and left with her child.

After they left, Zhang Mao dispersed the crowd, and then came alone to Zhang Lun, who was roaring in pain.

"Tomorrow, take your vicious daughter-in-law and kneel in front of the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion to admit your mistake. Do you understand?"

"The person who wants your leg is your good son-in-law, Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan!"

"If you don't go, you will be avenged by him in your life!"

After saying this, Zhang Mao stopped looking at his son.

He was alone and walked out tremblingly, leaving Zhang Lun alone in the courtyard, holding his broken leg and wailing wildly.

The next morning.

Tang Hao was sleeping peacefully with his beautiful lady in his arms.

The second uncle, Tang Yan, knocked on the door himself.

After Tang Hao heard what he said, he was not impatient and turned around to wake up Zhang Jingshu.

Half an hour later, the couple arrived at the gate of the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion together.

Zhang Lun and Zhu Zhang were seen kneeling on the ground, their faces dull and desperate, without any of the previous arrogance.

In fact, with Zhang Lun being deposed, the Zhu Zhang family will naturally be affected. Her status in the Baoguo Palace dropped instantly. In addition, she has not given birth to a son for Zhu Qi so far, so her current status can be said to be in jeopardy. !

If she had a choice, this jealous woman would never degrade herself like this and kneel down in front of the sister she hates and hates the most!

However, the situation facing Duke Baoguo now is disappointing.

Especially after Zhu Qi learned that all of this was a bloody revenge launched by the Marquis of Zhongshan, he immediately forced his wife, Zhu Zhang, to follow his playboy father and immediately go to the Zhongshan Marquis' mansion to plead guilty.

Even because of her stubbornness, Mrs. Zhu Zhang was severely beaten. Zhu Qi's dandy nature was finally revealed, and Mrs. Zhu Zhang finally felt what it felt like to be beaten and scolded!

"Marquis Zhongshan, spare your life!"

Zhang Lun kowtowed directly and begged his son-in-law for his life.

On the side, Mrs. Zhu Zhang trembled and hurriedly said: "Madam, spare your life!"

The "Madam" she refers to is naturally Zhang Jingshu. After all, she has just been canonized as the First Grade Madam!

Zhang Jingshu stared blankly at the scene in front of her, speechless for a long time.

She had imagined more than once that today would happen, but she didn't expect that it would be like this.

She just hopes that her father can apologize to herself and her sister can apologize to herself, that's all!

Therefore, Zhang Jingshu did not dare to hesitate and immediately stepped forward to help the two of them up.

"What are you doing?"

"Do you have to embarrass me at my husband's house?"

If we really talk about it, Tang Hao is also the junior of these two people. How can the elder kneel down and beg for mercy from the junior?

Not to mention that there were so many onlookers gathered around, one can only imagine what news they would come up with.

Zhang Lun looked at Zhang Jingshu with a dull expression, as if he had seen some kind of devil, and he was so frightened that he immediately backed away.

Mrs. Zhu Zhang hurriedly stretched out her hand to support him, and tears fell unconsciously.

In just one night, her status and status had undergone earth-shaking changes, and this woman finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"Madam, please let us go!"

"It was us who did something wrong before. We were the ones who bullied you before. Please let us go!"

Mrs. Zhu Zhang spoke with tears streaming down her face, kneeling down to Zhang Jingshu again as she spoke.

Fortunately, Zhang Jingshu helped her in time, and it was only then that she discovered that Zhang Lun had broken one of his legs.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jingshu was startled, and then looked at Tang Hao subconsciously.

The latter noticed that something was wrong with the situation, which seemed to be different from what he imagined, so he immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and hugged his father-in-law.

As a result, Zhang Lun was almost frightened to death and ran away in a frantic manner. Zhu Zhang hurriedly saluted and said goodbye to Tang Hao and his wife, and immediately chased after him.

Zhang Jingshu stared at this scene blankly, then turned to look at Tang Hao.

"What exactly did you do?"

Tang Hao pulled her into the house and then had the door closed.

"I'm sorry, I screwed up!"

Tang Hao explained with aggrieved face.

"I thought you hated these two people so much that you used some means to put pressure on the Baoguo Government and the British Government!"

"A scumbag like Zhang Lun is not worthy of inheriting the title of Duke, so he broke a leg, and today two people very wisely came over to admit their mistakes and apologize!"

"But I didn't expect that you didn't..."

Zhang Jingshu stared blankly at the person in front of her.

This is an extremely tall man, and he is also a ferocious Marquis of Zhongshan!

At this moment, he is like a child who made a mistake, bowing his head and apologizing to himself, even if the purpose of doing all this is to make himself happy?

At this moment, Zhang Jingshu felt an unprecedented sense of security and... sweetness!

She rushed into Tang Hao's arms, just holding the man who made her heart beat.

"I'm not a vengeful person, and I'm not as narrow-minded as you think."

"After all, they are my relatives, and they are also my father and your father-in-law. If you do this, it will be bad for your reputation."

"Ha!" Tang Hao laughed, "What kind of reputation do I want? Or what kind of reputation do I have?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jingshu also laughed.

The next moment, Zhang Jingshu raised her head and met Tang Hao's eyes. Seeing the fiery and malicious eyes of the other party, she immediately let out a moan and quickly lowered her head. However, she found that her waist tightened and her feet were light, and she was picked up by Tang Hao. , strode towards the room.

"Husband, no! You can't declare...obscenity in the daytime!"

"Hahaha... I'm going on a business trip soon, why do I care about all this?"

Tang Hao laughed and said, kicked the door open and closed it again, then threw the beauty onto the bed.

Zhang Jingshu still wanted to refuse. After all, in her ideology, she couldn't show off her sex in the daytime.

But Tang Hao's words immediately made her give up her resistance, and even turned into an active and crazy request.

"I'm going to Shandong."

"I'll try to get you pregnant before I leave!"
