The rise of the poor

Chapter 2148 Did She Call Me a Bad Son?

"Feng'er, where did you meet my mother?" Wang Zhi leaned over and asked Mao Haifeng impatiently.

At this time, Wang Zhi's way of addressing Mao Haifeng had changed from Haifeng to Feng'er, and his affection for him was evident in his words.

From the change in the name, we can see how satisfied Wang Zhi was with the great news that Mao Haifeng brought back.

Although he couldn't confirm the news 100%, he already believed it about 70% in his heart.

At this moment, he asked Mao Haifeng for further details in order to further confirm the authenticity of the news.

"Yes, nephew Haifeng, since you have seen the king's mother, why don't you invite the old lady back to reunite with the king?"

Xue Tao thought of a loophole and asked immediately.

You said you met the king's mother, so why didn't you bring her here? ! This is a great achievement! I believe that any Japanese pirate who saw the king's mother would definitely bring the old lady here and ask the king for a reward!

But, Haifeng, why didn't you bring it with you? You couldn't possibly not want the queen and her son to be reunited, right? !

So, there is only one answer!

So you're lying?!

Xue Tao felt that his brain was so powerful, his thoughts were so clear, and his reasoning was so rigorous!

"The dry milk I saw in front of Zhu Ping'an's camp." Mao Haifeng replied.

"What?! You saw the old lady in front of Zhu Ping'an's camp?" Xue Tao couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when he heard that.

"In front of Zhu Ping'an's camp?!" Wang Zhi was also stunned for a moment.

Mao Haifeng said that he saw him in front of Zhu Ping'an's camp. What did this sentence mean? How could Xue Tao and Wang Zhi not know it?

This means that Wang Zhi's mother, wife and children are all in Zhu Ping'an's hands.

Yes.

Yes, the combined forces of Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa were nearly twice as strong as Zhu Ping'an's. The Japanese pirates under their command were all veterans who had fought many battles, while Zhu Ping'an's Zhejiang Army was mostly composed of farmers who had been recruited just a few months ago.

Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa had such an advantage in the number of elite troops, but they were still defeated by Zhu Ping'an. It turned out that Zhu Ping'an had Wang Zhi's mother, wife and children in his hands, so Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa were afraid of the consequences and were taken advantage of by Zhu Ping'an!

"Brother Haifeng disregarded his personal safety and made an appointment with Zhu Ping'an at the wooden bridge in front of the camp. He only brought three followers with him to meet the old lady."

At this time, Otomo Sadakawa added a sentence at the right time, emphasizing that Mao Haifeng was not afraid of risking his life and wanted to meet the old lady.

This is just like Guan Gong going to a meeting alone.

"Feng'er, you are very good." Wang Zhi looked at Mao Haifeng approvingly, nodded and affirmed.

Upon hearing that Wang Haifeng disregarded the fear for his life and brought only three followers to the wooden bridge in front of Zhu Ping's camp to keep the appointment, met his mother and confirmed his mother's identity, Wang Zhi was very impressed.

"You said you met him, and we can't go to Zhu Ping's camp to confirm whether you are lying or not. How can you prove it?"

Xue Tao still refused to accept the reality and refused to give up the possibility that Mao Haifeng was lying, so she made a final effort.

"Oh, thank you Uncle Xue for reminding me."

Mao Haifeng suddenly smiled and clasped his fists to Xue Tao to express his gratitude.

"Ah?" Xue Tao couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Mao Haifeng with a confused face. What do you mean? I'm questioning you, and you're thanking me. What are you going to do?

"Adoptive father, Zhu Ping'an gave me the letter from my godmother and godmother, and asked me to give it to you. Also, my godmother asked me to take the token from the ancestral hall in my hometown, and Zhu Ping'an also asked me to bring it to you."

As Mao Haifeng spoke, he reached into his arms, took out two letters and the little golden man, and handed them to Wang Zhi with both hands.

When Wang Zhi saw the little golden man, he couldn't help but become excited. He reached out and snatched the little golden man, stroking it excitedly. The corners of his eyes couldn't help but become moist, and tears flickered in the tips of his eyes.

This little golden man is a secret between him and his mother. When he saw this little golden man, he was 100% sure that what Mao Haifeng said was true.

His mother is still alive, his mother is really still alive.

One of the biggest regrets in life is that one's parents are no longer around when one wants to take care of them. Before today, he had been tormented by this regret for a long time. Now, he can put aside his regrets. His mother is still alive, which is great. Now that he is rich, he can take good care of his mother.

Seeing Wang Zhi's excitement holding the little golden man, Xue Tao completely gave up. It seemed that Mao Haifeng did not lie and Prince Hui's mother was indeed still alive.

Damn!

Do not!

No, I'm not saying that Prince Hui's mother should die, I'm saying that Mao Haifeng should die. How come he was the one who reported such a great thing?

How great it would be if it were me!

"Old Xue, Feng'er, what do you think this is made of?" Wang Zhi reminisced about the past and asked Xue Tao and Mao Haifeng.

"This is gold-plated, right? It must be brass or iron." Xue Tao took a look and said confidently.

"Gilted brass." Mao Haifeng touched it and could tell the material of the little golden man from its weight.

"Yes, this little golden man is indeed made of gilded brass." Wang Zhi stroked the little golden man in his palm, reminiscing about the past, and said with emotion, "Back then, I was young and frivolous, or I was young and ignorant. When I first started to learn how to do business, I stole one or two taels of silver from my family as capital. Someone in the town took advantage of my youth and ignorance, and used this gilded little golden man to pretend to be a pure gold little golden man, defrauding me and leaving me penniless. My father was originally against my business, hoping that he would become a successful person and pass the imperial examination. If my father knew that I stole one or two taels of silver from my family to learn how to do business and was deceived, he would probably break my legs It was all interrupted. After my mother found out, she took the silver hairpin that my grandmother gave her as a dowry and pawned it at a pawnshop. She exchanged it for one tael of silver and made up for my shortfall. That’s how my father didn’t find out and I escaped. In order to avoid suspicion from my father, my mother and I hid the little golden man behind the plaque of the ancestral hall. This is a secret between my mother and me. No one else knows it. Before I came out, I would secretly play with the little golden man every year when I worshipped my ancestors. Every time I reminded myself, have you forgotten the fact that you were cheated that year? Have you remembered the lesson? ! "

"You know, that silver hairpin is the only thing my grandmother left for me."

"Mother, I am unfilial and have caused you suffering."

As Wang Zhi spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears due to emotion.

"Foster father, please don't be sad. My dry nanny is fine. She eats well, sleeps well, and is in good health and full of energy."

Mao Haifeng comforted.

"What did my mother say?" Wang Zhi asked.

"The old lady said she is fine and told you not to worry about her." Mao Haifeng replied, choosing his words carefully.

"Did she call me a wicked son?" Wang Zhi interrupted Mao Haifeng.

"Ah? How did godfather know?" Mao Haifeng was stunned.

"Hahahaha, no one knows a son better than his mother, and no one knows his mother better than his son. How could I not know my mother?"

Wang Zhi said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
