The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 235 Thunderstorm Again

Faced with the He family's angry looks, the three members of the Zheng family all cast doubtful glances at Lu Zixuan.

Lu Zixuan signaled Chen Ping to comfort He Yushui first, and still maintained that decent smile as he looked at Zheng Rongrong, but his gaze became increasingly cold, and his words were without any emotion.

"Sister Rongrong, do you know that my aunt was expelled from school?"

The Zheng family became more and more surprised. Zheng Rongrong turned her gaze to He Yushui and asked:

"When did this happen? Yu Shui, why didn't you tell me?

Could it be... related to Cen Haitao? But why is this happening?"

Seeing Zheng Rongrong's expression, the He family members all breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Xiaoman nodded and said:

"Yes, it is indeed related to him. He colluded with Principal Liang to force Yu Shui to drop out of school in order to vent his anger on behalf of Kong Lin."

Zheng Rongrong hurriedly explained:

"Ah? Yu Shui, I really don't know about this, you have to believe me.

Not long after you went to school, Kong Zhao took the initiative to find me and said that Cen Haitao had a good impression of me and asked me if I would like to become his revolutionary partner. I agreed without thinking.

That time Xuanxuan was at my doorstep and saw me giving money to Kong Zhao. He felt a little uneasy and didn’t dare to contact you. But I promise you, the great man, that I had absolutely no idea what he had done. Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning!”

Old Zheng's face flushed, and he quickly explained:

"I really didn't know about this. At the time, I was only concerned with finding out Cen Haitao's background and didn't pay attention to anything else.

That day Rongrong told me that she was dating Cen Haitao at school, and I always thought... I thought it was Kong Zhao who introduced them and that’s why Rongrong gave him money.

Yesterday, Kong Zhao came to my house and said that Cen Haitao had to drop out of school because you framed him, so I...

Alas, it seems that we have been fooled by Kong Zhao. If we succeed in persuading him today, he will definitely go to Cen Haitao to take credit. Hehe..."

After saying that, he slapped himself hard.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixuan also offered to send the guest away:

"Cen Haitao pretended to be the orphan of a martyr and was taken into custody. This matter is over. Even if I wanted to save him, I don't have the ability. You can go back."

Old Zheng heard the determination and alienation in Lu Zixuan's tone. The pride of their scholarly family would not allow him to compromise. After apologizing again, he left with his family.

Lu Zixuan once again used the Zheng family as an example to warn everyone that concealment and deception are the source of misunderstanding and estrangement, and self-righteous goodwill may bring more fatal harm.

Only timely and sincere communication with family members can help avoid losses.

After calming everyone down, Lu Zixuan informed the Wei and Xu families of the results of the punishment.

After hearing the constant "tsk tsk" sounds, He Yuzhu said seriously:

"Do you think the Kong family has a lot of tricks inherited from their ancestors? They cheat one person after another. I've been hanging out there a lot recently, and it turns out that there's really no one in this family who's easy to deal with.

Kong's father wanted to marry into the Zhang family because the current manager of the coal yard where he worked was Zhang's mother's brother.

Kong's mother wanted to marry her daughter to her nephew because she heard that her brother had divided his property among his two nephews.

That little girl, who should be about the same age as Xuanxuan, would run to the military area every day, coaxing those ignorant little girls around;

Not to mention the siblings Kong Zhao and Kong Lin, they can just use their acquaintances to trick them.

This is what we call "If you are not from the same family, you won't enter the same door."

Cheng Xiaoman nodded in agreement with interest.

"You are what you are, your character is what you are. Didn't I tell you that his old man had many wives and concubines, and many children and grandchildren? If they were not smart, they would have been driven out by their family members long ago.

Anyway, our family is basically stable now, so why don’t we add some trouble to their family, to get rid of harm for the people?”

Several people turned their eager eyes to Lu Zixuan's face, only to see Lu Zixuan smile slyly and confess honestly:

“You may not have the chance to repay the favor, but if nothing unexpected happens, the Kong family will continue according to Cen Haitao’s previous arrangements.

Three days later, Kong Zhaohui married for love and became the daughter-in-law of a capitalist who was about to be liquidated.

Kong Lin will meet her true love at her brother's wedding, and go to a foreign land hand in hand with her lover to witness the development of the countryside;

Kong's father will also be fully supported by his in-laws, and he will bring his family to the future granary of the motherland to witness the rise of the northwest."

He Yuzhu frowned and thought for a while, then asked:

"You mean Cen Haitao has already introduced a girl to Kong Zhao? Then he is still hooking up with Zheng Rongrong.

You arranged all this?"

Lu Zixuan laughed sarcastically and said teasingly:

"I don't have time to deal with these clowns. I just asked someone to delay the announcement of the punishment of those people, so that Cen Haitao's plan could be implemented smoothly. I also handed over the evidence of the capitalist surnamed Qian who had unlimitedly exploited the blood and sweat of the working class to the relevant authorities."

Although Kong Zhao was a pawn controlled by Cen Haitao, who would be willing to be used by others? Secretly hooking up with Zheng Rongrong was just another way out.

Thanks to Kong Lin's interference, Cen Haitao became aware of Kong Zhao's ambition and put all his plans forward. He also noticed Zheng Rongrong's family background, which led to Kong Zhao's matchmaking.

Cen Haitao takes care of Kong Lin. His secondary purpose is to make Xu Haoyin unhappy and win over Kong Zhao. His ultimate goal is to find a wife for his brother Cen Dazhuang.

Years ago, Cen Haitao packaged Cen Dazhuang, who used the alias Chen Fenjin, as a son of an official from another province in accordance with Kong Lin's aesthetics and preferences, and let him have contact with Kong Lin. The two had already developed feelings for each other and were just waiting for Cen Haitao's order to live together.

Cen Haitao arranged this way to get rid of Cen Dazhuang, who knew the identity, away from the city;

He could also kick out Kong Lin, the stumbling block between him and Zheng Rongrong;

It can also be used to suppress Xu Haoyin's confidence again, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Based on Cen Haitao's confession, Lu Zixuan deduced that he not only had a strong desire for control and revenge, but also had an almost perverted paranoia.

Once this type of people gain power and status, they will definitely stir up bloody storms. If they do not get psychological satisfaction, they will definitely retaliate against society and seek excitement.

Based on the information he had, Lu Zixuan analyzed everyone's psychology and found that Kong Lin was not only good at grasping people's hearts, but also good at analyzing interests.

Although Cen Dazhuang is good, he is too far away after all, and can only be regarded as a backup candidate at best;

Unlike Cen Haitao, who can see, touch, and know everything;

Even if she is not destined to be with these two people, there is still a cousin with a wealthy family waiting for her favor;

The most helpless choice is Xu Haoyin, who is in the late stage of love brain.

It's a pity that Kong Lin has limited resources, otherwise, he would definitely be a rare talent.

Unable to find out Cen Dazhuang's true identity, Kong Lin can only become a pawn manipulated by Cen Haitao, but Lu Zixuan believes that with her abilities, she can definitely make Cen Dazhuang's family uneasy.

The Qian family was willing to accept Kong Zhao as their daughter-in-law, not only because they were optimistic about this future cadre with a bright future, but also because they coveted his circle of friends. Most importantly, they understood the greed and short-sightedness of the Kong family, and knew that as long as they had money, they could get away with it at will.

When Cen Haitao was arranging this marriage, he had already secured for Kong's father an opportunity to be a cadre in the northwest. Once Kong was married, the Qian family would propose the marriage and provide the funds to complete it.

Chen Ping was puzzled.

"Kong Zhao already has such a wealthy future in-law, why would he cheat the Zheng family out of money to pay back the Zhang family?"

Lu Zixuan replied with a smile:

"You've already said that, that's the future. Besides, Kong Zhao will definitely not lose face in the Yue family because of a little money."

“Then Cen Haitao definitely had no good intentions in introducing Kong Lin to his brother.

He Yushui rubbed his arms and sighed:

Eh… Thinking about these people’s sinister plots, I get goose bumps all over my body.”

……

A week later, the punishment of the Wei and Xu families was made public. With the assistance of the local street office, the two families were allocated two houses for ordinary employees to live in from the cadre compound.

Everything went according to plan, except that before Cen Haitao was sent back to his hometown to serve his ten-year labor reform, he suddenly exposed himself again for unknown reasons.

The idiot who couldn't tell the difference between grains and was carefully raised by the Cen family was his biological brother, and he was also not a true martyr's orphan.

However, Cen's mother, who was detained by the public security agency, strongly denied it and staged another drama of "loving mother and filial son".

Because the incident happened so long ago, neither side was able to provide effective evidence and each insisted on their own story.

Just when the leaders were getting overwhelmed, the idiot younger brother Li Chenghu, who had been placed in the military compound and was ready to eat and wait for death, suddenly showed up and beat Cen Haitao so hard that he was covered in tears.

He refused all the preferential treatment and honors from the country, and begged the military district and government leaders to take his mother back to his hometown to farm.

In the end, the leaders discussed a compromise plan, reducing Cen Haitao's sentence by one year, agreeing to Li Chenghu's request to return home, and no longer pursuing the responsibility of Cen's mother.

It was not until Lu Zixuan witnessed with his own eyes Cen Haitao being escorted by the executioners onto a train heading south that he felt that everything was settled.
