The noise outside the marshal's palace was incessant, and many servants ran in a row to inquire for news, and some even panicked and dodged in all directions. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The info guards were more nervous than ever, lest the people break into the house. Some of the soldiers couldn't hold back and wanted to tell Guo Zixing, but they were stopped by Da Zhang's maids.

Also stopped at the door was Ma Xiuying, she didn't sleep all night, and after telling Xunying to arrange everything, she changed into plain clothes and continued to ask to see Guo Zixing.

Guo Zixing was deceived and instigated by Da Zhang's family, and still refused to meet.

Ma Xiuying didn't say much, knelt directly under the steps outside the door, buried half of her knee in the muddy water, and let the storm hit her. The icy rain not only drenched her body, but also completely chilled her heart. It wasn't until Xunying appeared and tearfully opened an umbrella on her head that there was a trace of fluctuation on her expressionless face.

Xun Ying knelt next to Ma Xiuying and said in a low voice: "Madam, the slave and maid have done what you have explained, and the emotions of the people in the market have been mobilized by the shadow guard, they scolded the generalissimo for being unfair, asked the generalissimo to release his uncle immediately, and even refused to sell vegetables and meat to Guo Mansion, and Ying Wei also pretended to be a common man to make noise outside the marshal's mansion...... Brother Yuan asked the slave maid to tell you that General Tang had learned about this yesterday, and he summoned the soldiers who were good friends with his uncle overnight to discuss countermeasures, and he would bring people to the Generalissimo's Mansion today to confront the generalissimo......"

Ma Xiuying licked her numb lips, "You quickly go and inform the shadow guard to prepare with both hands, if the stepfather releases him quickly, don't incite the people again, lest the situation expand and it will be difficult to clean up." If the father-in-law refuses to let go, hmph, we will turn Haozhou City upside down, and take advantage of the chaos to rescue the starling from the city......"

"Didn't you say that you would delay it for two days and wait for the generalissimo to take the initiative to release him?"

"If my father-in-law refuses to release him despite the pleas of the people and soldiers, it means that he is determined to kill the starling, then I definitely can't sit still. ”

"The slave and maid understood, and immediately went to deal with it. Xun Ying looked at the crumbling Ma Xiuying and choked up, "Madam, go back first." You're already wounded, and you're still kneeling here in the rain...... Even if it's for your uncle, you have to take care of your body. ”

"No, my stepmother also went in to help me intercede, I want to see how hard my father's heart is, if I can't hear the news of my starling's release, I can't feel at ease. Ma Xiuying stubbornly straightened her spine, and her resolute attitude made Xunying silently shut her mouth. She still has one more thing she hasn't told Xunying, and as a last resort, she may even hold Guo Zixing hostage to ensure Zhu Yuanzhang's safety.

Inside the house, Xiao Zhang wiped his tears and begged: "Master, you can meet Xiuying, this girl has been kneeling for a day since the early morning, and she has not entered a drop of water, so she is also your righteous daughter." It's raining heavily, and she's thin, what if she gets sick?"

Da Zhang pouted and said: "What do you do with this kind of little slut who eats inside and out, she is now married and her arms are turned out." Master, although I am a woman and do not know any military rules, but since Zhu Yuanzhang has two hearts for his master, he should be punished, how can he just come to someone and ask for a few words of affection? You still order the execution of Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible, so as to shock Xiaoxiao. ”

When Guo Tianxu went to the barracks, he repeatedly told Da Zhang that he should persuade Guo Zixing to make up his mind as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Now that the people have made trouble outside the house in order to intercede for Zhu Yuanzhang, Da Zhang's heart is shocked and afraid, and he is more and more determined that he can't let Zhu Yuanzhang go. She would rather hide the news of the people's request for life, but also say that Guo Zixing would be moved to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang. Hmph, once Zhu Yuanzhang is gone, it won't help if those people make trouble.

Xiao Zhang was taken aback, this rhythm was too fast, and in a blink of an eye, she changed from seeing Ma Xiuying to cutting off Zhu Yuanzhang's head, she hurriedly persuaded: "Yuanzhang has always been loyal to the old man before and after the saddle, and will never betray the master." The master must find out this matter clearly, so as not to lose loyal people like Zhu Yuanzhang in vain. ”

Da Zhang's eyes glared and warned, "Zhu Yuanzhang is just an outsider, and Xu'er is our Guo family, don't you even believe Xu'er's words? Don't you also want to learn from that Ma Xiuying to eat inside and out? How much benefit did she give you to help you speak?"

"No, no, no......" Xiao Zhang shook her head busily, she did accept Ma Xiuying's gift to help intercede, but she was intimidated and warned by Da Zhang's family, and she was suddenly frightened and cringed, and she didn't dare to mention intercession.

Guo Zixing was in a dilemma, Zhu Yuanzhang's high achievements had become a taboo, but this person rescued him several times and asked him to immediately order the execution of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Suddenly, the butler ran in wet and stammered, "Master, madam......"

"What are you talking about, say something quickly. Guo Zixing was impetuous, and he was not very angry when he saw the housekeeper's trembling appearance.

Da Zhang's heart tightened, and at noon the housekeeper was ready to tell Guo Zixing that the people were dissatisfied with the noisy gathering, in order not to affect Guo Zixing's attitude, she specially asked someone to block the news of the outer courtyard, and I didn't expect this old thing to dare to come to see Guo Zixing without listening to her instructions.

The matter is serious, the housekeeper didn't dare to hide the truth anymore, glanced at Da Zhang's family, and said, "The people send ...... Eggs and vegetables are here. ”

Da Zhang's heart was relieved, and he said with great joy: "Didn't you say that if you sent servants out to buy vegetables, those people were unwilling to sell them to us? As soon as she was happy, she got carried away and inadvertently revealed the truth that the people asked for Zhu Yuanzhang's life.

The butler stubbornly said, "They, they were thrown in from outside the wall, and the garden was smashed everywhere. They also said that the old man was a big bastard and arrested people indiscriminately...... "He also wanted to hide this matter, but the people were all making trouble from outside the house, and they couldn't hide it, so it was better to tell Guo Zixing and take countermeasures as soon as possible." Of course, he would never have imagined that those who dared to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves into the house were not ordinary people, but Ma Xiuying's shadow guards.

"I have been treating the people well since I conquered Haozhou City, and they actually treat me like this, they are a group of bastards! A group of white-eyed wolves!" Guo Zixing was furious when he heard this, and he was about to send someone to arrest the people who gathered to make trouble, when he suddenly saw the guards telling a soldier outside asking to see him.

The military is more important than the people's livelihood, Guo Zixing hurriedly prepared his clothes and went to the hall. Seeing Ma Xiuying, who was trembling and kneeling at the foot of the steps, he frowned and said to Xiao Zhang: "Let her go back, I don't have time to listen to her about Zhu Yuanzhang now." ”

Xiao Zhang responded and hurriedly went to help Ma Xiuying.

Da Zhang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and chased after Guo Zixing. She is very worried about Guo Tianxu, it is said that Guo Tianxu is still in the army, and it should not be the turn of these people to come forward if something happens.

I saw seven or eight soldiers rushing in the rain, and when they saw Guo Zixing, they knelt down with a brush, and the mud thrown out splashed the body of Da Zhang, who was following behind.

Tang He pretended not to see the embarrassed Da Zhang, and only bowed to Guo Zixing: "Please generalissimo to administer justice." ”

Guo Zixing was indignant, "What kind of justice is upheld? If you plead for Zhu Yuanzhang, don't say it." ”

Tang He looked sad and indignant, "Today, the last general argued with the eldest prince for a few words, and the eldest prince said that the last general intended to rebel." The last general did not want to die an unknown death like Zhu Zhenfu, so he came to ask the generalissimo to administer justice. ”

The accompanying soldiers spoke out at the same time, "Zhu Zhenfu and Tang Qianhu have no intention of rebelling, and they can testify under the mark!"

Guo Zixing's brows furrowed, "What kind of death is unknown, I just asked Tianxu to temporarily detain Zhu Yuanzhang to find out the truth, and I didn't punish him with death." ”

"Zhu Zhenfu is almost dead, I heard that he was beaten all over his body after being caught by the eldest prince, his hands and feet were broken, and his eyes were clear. Poor Zhu Zhenfu was loyal to the generalissimo, but in the end he died in vain...... "Tang He cried bitterly, a man with five big and three rough people cried like a three-year-old child, and his face couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.

If Guo Tianxu was here, he would definitely shout that he was wronged, how could Zhu Yuanzhang's situation be so serious as Tang He's words. It's a pity that he is still trapped in the school martial arts field by the soldiers, helpless.

Guo Zixing was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't expect Guo Tianxu to torture Zhu Yuanzhang behind his back, and was about to call someone to visit Zhu Yuanzhang in prison, when Xiao Zhang rushed out again, "Master, Xiuying, she, she fainted! Master, please spare Yuanzhang, no matter how you say that he is also your son-in-law, Xiuying is a child we watched grow up, and the tiger is poisonous and does not eat children!"

Tang He and a few people took the opportunity to say: "Ask the generalissimo to release Zhu Zhenfu, don't make the soldiers feel cold!"

The three-pronged approach of military intelligence, people's affection, and family affection made Guo Zixing so ashamed that his face was red, and he hurriedly instructed the guards, "Don't release my son-in-law quickly, and quickly call the doctor to take a look at him." ”

Tang He took the initiative to ask Ying to pick up Zhu Yuanzhang, and when he arrived in the prison, he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was sleeping and snoring, shook him awake three times and twice, and whispered repeatedly, "I will go out to see the generalissimo for a while, pretend not to see anything, the more serious the injury, the better." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a fool, he quickly came to his senses, rolled on the ground a few times, wiped his face with dirt and weeds, and collapsed into a mess of mud when he entered the house, kowtowing to an empty chair, "The son-in-law meets his father-in-law, the son-in-law is wronged!"

"What's wrong with you?" Guo Zixing couldn't connect the embarrassed beggar in front of him with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment and said, "Little son-in-law...... The son-in-law accidentally hit the pillar himself......"

No matter how you look at the appearance of the blue nose and swollen face and bruises all over the body, it is not as simple as hitting the pillar, such words are heard in the ears of everyone, except for Da Zhang's secretly relieved, everyone else is extremely sad.

A man with a tiger's back was tortured like this, Guo Zixing's heart softened, and he couldn't help crying, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhu Yuanzhang, ashamed and said: "Ben Shuai was confused for a while, and let you suffer." Hey, you go back to recuperate first, Ben Shuai will definitely give you an explanation. Seeing that the surrounding soldiers were still unruly, he paused and said: "Come here, pass on the order to punish Guo Tianxu's ten military sticks, in order to set an example, and no one is allowed to abuse lynching the officers and soldiers in the army in the future." ”

All the soldiers hurriedly knelt down to Guo Zixing and thanked him, although they knew that the punishment of the Ten Army Sticks was too cheap for Guo Tianxu, but it was the best result to be able to rescue Zhu Yuanzhang and let Guo Tianxu be punished.

In front of everyone's eyes, Da Zhang's had no way to dissuade Guo Zixing's decision, so he could only ask someone to inform Guo Tianxu first.

The Ten Army Sticks are actually not a harsh punishment, but in front of thousands of people, they stripped off their pants, revealing their snow-white cheeks, Guo Tianxu's face couldn't be washed even if he was thrown into the Yellow River.

Later, Tang He couldn't help laughing every time he described the situation to Zhu Yuanzhang that day, "Didn't you see Guo Tianxu's face redder than his monkey ass!"
