CHAPTER XXXIII

A smell of lilacs snorted into his nose, and Lord Xie frowned slightly in a trance.

When he saw the rouge powdered hibiscus face of the person in front of him, the originally drunk and confused eyes became clear and clear, and his hand was put down without any nostalgia.

"Miss Qu Er." Like his condensed face, his voice was even colder, "Please respect yourself, this is not the place where my daughter's family comes." ”

Qu Shengfeng's idea, there is no need to think about it, and it is clear, in the past, he didn't think about the old love and didn't make it clear, but he didn't expect to send his daughter to such a pickled place so disregarding his reputation and face, wanting to cook raw rice and mature rice, and forcing him to comply, when he Xie Chengzu was a greedy wine bag.

Then I raised my eyes and saw a few people under him, surrounded by all kinds of beauties, making a gesture, showing their arms and shoulders, several people could not stand the teasing, the red light was full of hugging the geisha in their arms, and they were teasing while drinking, one of them was actually a little obedient in the mouth, kissing, making out with the woman on the lap in public, obscene words, what a profligate scene.

In the past, he still turned a blind eye to the brothel, and the sergeant was already living a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife and dying without a day, and if this kind of adjustment was lost, it would be no joy in life.

But at this time, it seems that all of them look like they are being hollowed out by wine, how can they look like half a sergeant

In fact, a few people at the table, except for a few drunk and unbearable teasing, the other few people are still slightly restrained, and they are just itchy hands and sneak a couple of times, after all, the person sitting in front of him is the guard, he is not in good shape, who can be happy, but they are all superficial entertainment.

When the woman next to her leaned on the adult, a few people finally put their minds at ease, and they were a little bolder, and they said straight in their hearts that their adults were finally going to open up.

As a result, the atmosphere was just a little slight, Xie Chengzu's eyes suddenly changed, and he threw the beauty's hand not to mention, and his eyes looked at them like an eagle.

A few people who watched the edification couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, a person suddenly came upstairs from outside, walked to Xie Chengzu's side, covered it with his hand, avoided everyone, and whispered a few words.

"Really?" Xie Chengzu's face softened, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he immediately got up, threw off his robe and left.

The adults didn't leave any words, is this to keep up or stay? The subordinates didn't know why they waited, and then they thought that since the adults didn't speak, they must be avoiding people, plus they were reluctant to fill the table with wine and delicacies, and the warm nephrite in their arms, so they all sat down drunk.

Qu Ruoyun was like a basin of cold water splashed down at this moment, and the sound of her heartbeat just now was fast, but now it seemed to be frozen, she wanted to get up and call the adults, just now, like that, are they ......

But when the adults walked as fast as the wind, they didn't even glance at her, as if the deep affection for themselves just now was just a dream.

Impossible! He obviously had intentions for himself, and she was not mistaken, but he was so ruthless just now.

A drunken centurion shook his head when he saw it, and snorted in his mouth, "Do you really like you?"

Thinking of this trip to the mountain road, the people who were immediately protected, the people who were hugged in the basement house, all the way was a lot of thoughtful care, even the speed of the carriage was controlled, and the car also gave a lot of skins under the pretext, for fear that people would be cold and hungry.

A man is the most ruthless, he hides in his heart, likes, and reads his sweetheart that will never be willing to show it to others, especially in this kind of fireworks place, don't want to put you in your heart, now you choose to sit here, that is to make people look down on you, if he is a soft-hearted person, maybe you are a name, but the adult is a hard-hearted person who is as hard as an iron end, if he does not have you in his heart, you are useless to catch up and pick it up, horizontal and vertical is the grass that cannot enter the eyes, little girl, remember it in the future.

However, her soulless little appearance was good-looking, and she actually reached out to drink with tears in her eyes, but she was really bold, he kindly took her wine glass, but instead slapped her, "Get out of here, Hugh touch me with your dirty hands." ”

Yo, mine is dirty hands, how clean were you touching the adult's hands just now?

He became a centurion in his early twenties and killed countless enemies on the battlefield, how could he be so casual to make people scratch his ears? was angry, and immediately raised her eyebrows, no matter what kind of girl she was, she held it in her arms and laughed: "The temperament is so spicy, I like it, since the adults don't want you, then follow me!" ”

What about the Qu family, he is not afraid, even if the adults ask, he just doesn't know anything when he is drunk, it's a big deal to hit dozens of military sticks, and it's worth it in exchange for a kiss Fang Ze, hey, this chick looks good-looking up close, although it is not as beautiful as the girl that adults like, but it is also big eyes and a small mouth, and a pointed chin, even if she is close to her.

At this time, Qu Shengfeng had already been arranged, because he knew that his daughter and Lord Xie were inside, so he deliberately avoided it, and when he knew that Lord Xie had left and hurried in, her youngest daughter was already covered with bloodstains, and she was regarded as a geisha in a restaurant by a hundred captains under the adult, so she generally took advantage.

……

Xie Chengzu heard what Shang You said, all the way out of Hongfu Building, non-stop when he returned to the barracks, the barracks were fighting a few tables, a dry animal that was pulled back from the mountain in the morning, in addition to the usefulness of cattle and horses, the others had blood coagulated after being pulled back, and the frozen dry and tense, at noon, in response to the words of the adults, added meat to the soldiers, ice and snow, did not eat some meat to store the body, how to stand the cold, stood on the post.

The meat guy naturally left some, Zhang Xian and Guo Xing, who hurried back from Beijing, plus the two of them together, rushed back, hungry, saw that there was meat and let the gang set up a hot pot, lit a charcoal fire, and gathered in front of the table, in the boiling pot, a large piece of meat to eat, obviously hungry.

When the adults came in, there was a room full of tempting meaty aromas.

As soon as they saw Xie Chengzu, several people couldn't hide the joy on their faces, put down their chopsticks and stepped forward excitedly: "My lord, this trip, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." ”

Xie Chengzu stepped forward and helped a few people up, "The heavy snow has closed the mountain in the past two days, and it is very hard for you to rush all the way back, this matter is not in a hurry, eat first and say." ”

Zhang Xian and Guo Xing hurriedly said: "I'm full, don't worry, we won't treat ourselves badly." "Seeing the adult's face, although it is still calm, it is difficult to hide the sparkle of the eyes, knowing that the adult is not in a hurry in his mouth and in his heart, how can he not be in a hurry? The food consumption of nearly 2,000 soldiers in the whole city was heavy on his shoulders, and when he came back, he saw that there were nearly 1,000 refugees stationed outside the city, and it was still increasing.

"It's fine." Xie Chengzu nodded, and ordered the room to fill with more pieces of meat and a large bowl of rice, so that the two of his subordinates who had worked hard all the way could be fed.

Zhang Xian and Guo Xing went to the treasury with adults.

In the originally empty and spacious warehouse, more than a dozen large carts were filled, and the body of the car knew at first sight that it was a sturdy longboard grain cart for escorting grain and grass.

Zhang Xian and Guo Xing untied the ropes and covers of each car, and the cars were full of grain and rice and dozens of large boxes.

The locks on those large boxes were opened, and the treasury suddenly lit up, and it was full of golden ingots, or full of silver.

"Sure enough, as expected, we sneaked into the sealed Tan Mansion, spent two days searching carefully, and finally found a cellar under an inconspicuous rockery in the inner house, the cellar was originally located under the freezer, no wonder those officials who raided the house were not found, when it was stored in a very secret, and when they went in and out on weekdays, they only thought it was to transport ice, and they didn't think there was a cave."

"The emperor also said that Tan Chengji is an honest official, and the finances of the palace are clean, if it is known that there are still a lot of gold and silver hidden underground, I am afraid that the end will not be much better than that of Zheng Liang and his family."

Guo Xing also said: "When Zhang Xian's subordinates and I found this place, there were large boxes of gold and silver piled up there, some of them rolled out, full of clarity and almost dazzling, and actually used gold to make pumpkin beads, pumpkin balls, such a big one, the style is exquisite, at first glance it is those noble people for enjoyment, the people of several states are hungry and hungry, and they are dying, but these big officials in the capital have so many gold and silver things hidden in private, how many lives can be saved, it is really hateful!" ”

People are not destroyed by heaven and earth, and who cares about the life and death of others, this has been the case since ancient times.

Zhang Xiandao: "My lord, the silver has been counted, a total of 380,000 taels, more than 100 acres of land deeds, in fact, compared to the other two, Tan Daren is still a pediatrician, the cellar has placed the account book, one by one, I remember very clearly, all in the dynasty, other people's gifts. ”

After speaking, he took out the account book and handed it to the adult, Xie Chengzu took it in his hand and opened it carefully.

Zhang Xiandao: "It is not easy to get such a large sum of silver taels, not to mention that it was transported all the way back, Guo Xing and I dared to invite the most famous dart master in Beijing, and transported it all the way to Yizhou City, spending nearly 5,000 taels, and bought a large amount of grain and rice as a cover, and the grain and rice in the capital are indeed two cents more expensive than ours here." "It's actually not cost-effective, but don't hide people's eyes and ears with grain and rice, and the boxes of gold and silver are very eye-catching.

“…… There is no way to do those land deeds, there are so many of them, once they are bought and sold, they will be alarmed, and they will only be brought back together. ”

"You're doing a great job!" Xie Chengzu put the account book aside, exhaled slightly, and said: "Your move, tens of thousands of people in Wei'an City will receive the favor of your trip for more than 100 years, but this matter is not easy to publicize, I can only say a word to you here on their behalf, thank you inexhaustibly, and it will never be forgotten." ”

Seeing the adults bowing to him, the two couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and said with ashamed faces: "We are all obeying the orders of the adults, just small soldiers who run errands for the adults, and we can't afford this feat." ”

Hundreds of thousands of taels, transported out of Tanfu, all the way down from Beijing, there are countless bandits and displaced people, how hard the transportation is, not to mention the heavy snow, can be pulled back in such a minute, it is the limit of the ability of the two of them, what about the Beijing dart in this world, when a batch of property is tempted enough, it is also possible to take advantage of a strange place to fight back.

Their lives are at risk.

However, Xie Chengzu didn't say much, helped them up, and just said that when the good land is opened up in the future, a few people will be rewarded, and it is naturally not one or two acres.

After speaking, he turned around and looked at more than a dozen carts of belongings, and his heart was also relieved.

Next year's outer city wall, the construction of a large number of moats and cannons, the weapons in the hands of nearly 2,000 sergeants will also be rebuilt, the settlement of refugees, the construction of streets and dwellings in the outer city at the beginning of spring, and the trenching channels of large fields, all of which will require silver taels, and 300,000 taels will be completed, I am afraid it is still not enough, but it can solve the most important part.

As long as the outer city is consolidated, the fields can slowly open up, and when you think of the boundless wasteland in autumn, it will become a golden wheat field, and when the wind blows away, the wheat waves will be one by one, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the grain and grass will be abundant, what a magnificent scene it will be.

And Zhang Xian and Guo Xing also glanced at each other, excited, everyone is hard-working and uncomplaining, all for a better life, adults are now full of words, they are true, and it is not in vain that the two of them worked so hard along the way.

You must know that this road toss, it is the most bitter cold time in the cold winter, and take more roads against the direction of the wind, sitting in front of the carriage, the cold wind is a wave of slaps in the face, how much to wear are cold shivering, even the dart master who went to the dart shouted bitterly, regretted coming to this trip, and finally gritted his teeth, pulled things back, after coming over a few people changed their clothes, found that all clothes were bigger, it turned out that a body of flesh was lost, and they were embarrassed.

Seeing that the adult turned over some gold, silver and jade items in the box, Guo Xing also came to him and said in a low voice: "My lord, the lady in charge of this Tan Mansion is really not simple, her property in this cellar is completely hidden from her husband, and it is taken out of the treasury of the house without permission, and in the account book recorded in the book, it is recorded that all the parts she took out of it, and it is really amazing that she has saved so many private rooms in the mansion over the years."

The Tan family is now exiled to the border, but her mother's family is in the capital mixed with the wind and water, it is said that her family has fallen into desperation, has fallen to the point of relying on women embroidery to support the family, now, the youngest daughter married this year's champion Lang, just 30,000 taels of marriage, but also in the capital of the noble place to buy a number of houses, by many people talk, it is estimated that this woman did not less subsidize her mother's family, her mother's family is also ruthless, all cheap little daughter, however, also lost to her house to hide money is wonderful, otherwise it will be copied out, the Tan family is also difficult to protect a death, this matter is also crooked, Hiding the silver saved my life, I can't say if it's right or wrong, but in the end, it's still cheaper for us adults. ”

Xie Chengzu was noncommittal about this, turned around and asked, "Have you ever gone to the East Courtyard to look for it?" ”

"I've found it, but it's ......" he whispered, Xie Chengzu frowned slightly, but it unfolded again in an instant.
