Chapter 127: Ask

Jiang Wenyuan was not the only one who received the emergency report in the capital, but Zhou Fengxiang, who was the supervision envoy, also received it.

"The minister takes the order." He bowed and said.

Looking at the edict handed over, Zhou Fengxiang was a little excited.

After more than two years, he, the Northwest Supervision Envoy, was finally able to perform his duties when he was about to get out.

Of course, the emperor did not directly rebuke Jiang Wenyuan, although he left Lu Zheng's impeachment note, but the edict sent down only said that the northwest verified the military exploits of the five people in Maoyuan Mountain.

And the emperor obviously took into account his position, so he only ordered him to check, but the document report had to go through Jiang Wenyuan's hands, since it had to go through Jiang Wenyuan's hands, it was to prevent him from attacking wantonly, of course, if he really found out something, Jiang Wenyuan couldn't stop it.

Anyway, this time is definitely a big opportunity, a chance to decide who goes and who stays between him and Jiang Wenyuan.

This time the departure and stay will certainly have a bearing on the changes in the military and political personnel of the entire northwest.

It's like going back to the time of Wang Butang's case two years ago, and the chance that decided the incident was the life and death of several brothers in this Maoyuan Mountain, but the difference was that two years ago it was for life, and two years later it was for death.

Fate is really interesting...

Zhou Fengxiang was a little distracted, and his mood was also a little inexplicable.

His reverie was interrupted by the buzz of the staff in the hall, and he took a few steps back and forth to analyze the current situation.

The last time Jiang Wenyuan led someone to write a recital for refusing to be rewarded, he knew that something must have happened, but it was not uncommon for officials to be impeached and attacked, and he didn't care. Sure enough, after this incident. The court came again to give the reward. There were also a lot of flowery praise words on the proclamation, and he thought that the matter was over.

I didn't expect that it was only a month later, and he was impeached again, and the emperor was still in the middle, although it didn't get to the point of directly forwarding it to the point of being investigated, but this was also a great punishment for the Northwest Army generals who had just been rewarded.

"My lord, I have already asked Zhou Dujian just now, and he said that he doesn't know about it. Look at his expression, immortal and fake. A staff member said.

Zhou Fengxiang was noncommittal.

On the surface, this matter was caused by the five people in Maoyuan Mountain, and the only one who would stand out for these five people was Xiao Liulang of the Zhou family in the northwest, Xiao Liulang offended Jiang Wenyuan by eating deflated here in the northwest, and returned to the capital with a blocked breath, where there was no Jiang Wenyuan's ties, so he made this trick of welcoming the soul of the heroes all over the city, and bumped into the hands of the dying Lu Zheng, like grasping the last straw to save his life, so the time and place were favorable, and this matter started to make trouble.

This kind of thing that originally started casually. It is estimated that even the people of the Zhou family did not expect it to be like this, not to mention that the Zhou family here knew about it in advance.

Or maybe it was planned by the Zhou family. Of course, the people of the Zhou family can't admit it.

The reason why the plan is about the same as Lu Zheng's thoughts, anyway, Liu Liulang has a dislike with Jiang Wenyuan, if Jiang Wenyuan sits firmly in the northwest, their Zhou family is only afraid that they will not have a good life, since they have already entered the place of death, they simply tear their faces ruthlessly and completely to separate them from life and death.

"My lord, it does have something to do with the Zhou family, but it really wasn't done by Liulang." Another staff member put down the letter in his hand and said.

Along with the emperor's decree, there were also letters from relatives and friends of the secret agents to which they belonged, and it was impossible to make a correct judgment by relying on the emperor's decree alone, and this practice was not only for them, but also for Jiang Wenyuan.

Everyone in the room looked at him.

"....It's the niece of the Zhou family." The staff said, pushing the letter in his hand over, "The righteous sister of the brothers of Maoyuan Mountain." ”

Sister-in-law?

A woman?

Everyone's expressions were stunned.

"Do you remember the rumors that this Maoyuanshan brother is very rich?" Said the staff.

Someone over there had already picked up the letter and nodded while reading it.

"It's said that it's the owner of a shop in the capital," he said, "and it's outrageous." ”

"It's not outrageous, they are indeed the owners, and they are also very famous stores." The staff member continued, "Taipingju"

Hearing him say this name, the people present couldn't help but whisper in surprise.

Although Zhou Fengxiang did not come from the capital, he had lived in Beijing for a while, and everyone was naturally familiar with the Taiping Ju with Taiping Tofu.

This is a very prosperous shop, yes, the five people were caught from Taiping Juli, but at that time, everyone's mind was not on them, they just thought it was a guy doing chores, but I didn't expect it to be such a relationship.

No wonder they all say that the Maoyuan Mountain brothers are generous.

“… And their righteous sister is the real owner of Taipingju, the big owner. The staff said.

"Not the Zhou family?" Someone asked in surprise, "This little woman's own property?" ”

The staff shook their heads and didn't speak, but they held the letter and saw that the staff had already spoken first.

"It's not the Zhou family, it has been found out in the official report, and the Zhou family can't let a niece go out as a pretense as the owner, it doesn't make sense....ah... There is more than the Taiping Residence..."He said with a shocked expression, "There is also the Immortal Residence..."

The surprise was louder, and it wasn't over.

“… There is also Yichun Hall... It turned out that she was the one who cured Chen Shao's father, and brought Tong Neihan back to life, either dead or incurable, and the lady who worked hard..."The staff member continued, and his voice became high-pitched as he spoke, obviously shocked.

"That makes sense! Why does she have these properties, not the Zhou family! ”

Everyone present rushed over to grab the letter and rushed to see the chaos.

Zhou Fengxiang didn't scold this kind of gaffe, he himself froze, standing aside and echoing the words of the staff in his ears, and then looking at the people who were surprised and whispered from time to time when he circulated the letter.

My dear mother, Lao Tzu.

Taipingju, fairy dwelling, Yichun Hall big owner.

cured Chen Shao's father, relieved Chen Shaoding's worries, and rescued Tong Neihan's miracle doctor.

The righteous sister of several people in Maoyuan Mountain!

My dear mother, Lao Tzu.

No wonder...

"Don't regret it! Don't regret it! ”

Zhou Fengxiang remembered what the young man had said, and said to Jiang Wenyuan that was a little ridiculous and childish to outsiders.

It turns out that this is not a word of anger at all, but a word that people have confidence.

"Isn't this adding to the chaos?" muttered Zhou Fengxiang. I have such a sister. What kind of soldier are you still here! ”

The urgency of the report caused the anger of many people and surprise. Xu Sigen, who had been looking forward to it, was very calm.

After completing a day's work in the pastoral stable, that is, after the horse's shoes were burned and the sun was setting, Xu Sigen directly washed with water, put on his clothes and walked out of the courtyard gate, made two pots of wine on the street and bought some candy and snacks, and carried a basket full of things, and came to an alley.

There were two or three children running and frolicking in front of the house, and the courtyard door was wide open. Xu Sigen stood still in front of the door and shouted Brother Liu Jiang.

A man in the courtyard stood still and looked at it with a little helplessness.

"Why are you again?" He said, "Xu Sigen, you go back, I really don't know about that matter, and I don't have anything to say." ”

Xu Sigen smiled, didn't care about his evasion, and put the wine in his hand in front of the door.

"It's okay, I'm happy today, so I have some wine, and no one can have fun together. I thought that you and they were fighting side by side, so I came over to take a look. He said. Without waiting for the people in the courtyard to speak, he turned around and left.

Watching Xu Sigen leave, the people in the courtyard stood still and looked complicated, and a woman in the house came out.

"Goro, is it Xu Sigen again?" She asked in a low voice.

The man hummed.

The woman sighed.

"Poor thing," she said.

"Poor what?" The man interrupted her loudly and shouted, "There are many people who have died in battle, do you want to be pitied?" Since he is here to be a soldier, he knows that there will be a day when he dies, what is there to be pitiful! ”

The woman's face was reddish as she was shouted.

"I just know that there is a day, so I am pitiful!" This time, she did not bow her head and walk away meekly as before, but raised her head and shouted, her eyes were red, "My poor thing is that those who are soldiers may have such a day, when they die in vain, they will be framed by others, their wives and children will not be able to live in peace, and they will be driven away, so I am pitiful, I don't pity others today, who will pity us in the future!" ”

The man's expression turned pale at her shout, and he wanted to be angry but didn't know what to say.

"What nonsense!" He shouted, turned and shook his hand into the room.

The woman raised her hand to wipe away her tears angrily, and at a glance saw two jugs of wine at the door, and she picked them up with good knowledge.

“… What's the benefit of hiding it for others, being promoted to a small soldier, and remembering the feelings of others, and being taboo by others, it's better to..."She said, speaking of this, looking out, Xu Sigen could no longer be seen in the alley.

“… It's better to be remembered as kind, and besides, to be so generous..."

She muttered, glanced at the wine in her hand, sniffed hard, and shouted out the door with a little joy.

“… Big head, big head, go to the street and buy some lamb bones, and my mother will add a dish to you. ”

When the woman asked the child to buy bones, Xu Sigen had already turned to the front of another door, but he did not enter the door, but stood in the alley and reached out and stroked the head of the child playing outside the door.

The child was clearly familiar with him, and giggled and did not shy away.

There were two women in front of the door, and when the younger one saw it, he was ready to get up and chase them out, but he was stopped by the elder stretching out his hand.

"Mother... If he is ruthless and hates us... Little Poco...," the young woman said in a low and anxious voice.

The older woman shook her head.

"The face is born from the heart, he will not hurt Xiaobao, let alone us." She whispered, looking at the mouth of the alley.

The young woman also looked over with some anxiety, and saw that Xu Sigen had already squatted down, not knowing what to say to the child, he smiled and the child smiled, and then grabbed a handful of candy from the basket and stuffed it to the child, and watched the child happily hold it up and distribute it to his companions.

He crouched on the side of the road, looking at the frolicking children, grinning from time to time.

"I heard that the dead man had left a child," the older woman whispered suddenly.

The young woman shivered and turned her head from the needle.

"Mother, don't talk about this!" She warned with some trepidation.

The older woman looked at her, bowed her head, and stopped talking.

The young woman turned her head again to call the child back, but when she saw that Xu Sigen, who was squatting at the intersection, had already left, she closed her open mouth again, and her expression was a little complicated.

When it was dark, Xu Sigen's basket was empty, and his expression was a little relaxed, standing at the door of the shepherd's stable, and now he lived here, and was just about to enter the door, when five or six people came out.

"Xu Sigen." The leader said with a calm face, "If Lord Jiang wants to ask you, come with us." ”

Xu Sigen nodded calmly, he turned around and followed, and the corner of his eye looked at the many people around him, pointing and discussing.

Ask, speak, don't be afraid to ask, don't be afraid to say, just be afraid that no one will ask and no one will say.

…………………………………

I'm sorry I was so long-winded that I couldn't finish this at the end of the month, so I've been wanting everyone to save up, and I'm very guilty.

I've calculated that I'll be able to finish it in two days. (To be continued......)
