Chapter 7: Clever Schemes
Zhu Yuanzhang heard a woman's voice outside on the ground, and heard footsteps coming, guessing that his Ah Xiu was coming, but he was trapped too tightly, and he could only squirm on the ground to raise his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that it was indeed Ah Xiu, and he was afraid that she would be worried like this, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Ah Xiu, how can you come here?" Go back quickly, I'm strong, don't worry, the marshal will let me go when he is angry. ”
Ah Xiu couldn't hold back any longer, tears fell one after another, the man in front of him really cared about himself, and he didn't forget to pretend to be relaxed and relieved himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Ah Xiu was crying, he was even more anxious, squirming faster, and wanted to welcome him. Ah Xiu hurriedly rushed up and stretched out his hand to untie the rope, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly wanted to hide, and Ah Xiu cried and scolded: "Yuanzhang! If you really feel sorry for me, let me be! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang saw his wife crying sadly, so he couldn't bear to say more, and let her untie the rope. Ah Xiu stretched out a relatively clean ground with his feet, helped Zhu Yuanzhang to sit, took out the hot cake in his arms and handed it to him with pain, urging him to eat quickly, while helping him knead the strangulation marks of the rope on his body with tears and slap the grass clippings on his body.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the cloth bag and felt very hot, seeing that Ah Xiu urged him to eat quickly, he opened it and saw that it was a few hot scones, knowing that although Ah Xiu's body was not delicate, he must have been burned lightly, his heart was hot, and he said in a trembling voice: "Ah Xiu, you ......" The three-foot man, who was suffering and bleeding, couldn't help his woman from doing this for himself, so he held back his tears and stuffed the cake in a big gulp.
When he finished eating, Ah Xiu asked, "Who can tie you up?" Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that Ah Xiu would be angry again, so he said that the military orders were like a mountain, and they were also acting on orders, and advised Ah Xiu not to ask, let alone go to the marshal to intercede.
Ah Xiu's heart was nameless, and she gritted her teeth and gurgled, although she knew that this prison disaster was doomed, and she couldn't force the marshal to release her, but she didn't allow these villains to be so shameless.
She asked Zhu Yuanzhang to take care of herself, so she had to get up, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to hold his wife, and told her not to look for trouble, and not to give cakes to herself, just wait for herself at home, where can Ah Xiu listen, and come out casually.
Walking outside the door, Ah Xiu saw the two soldiers looking at him, his face was timid, thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's being tied up at first, and his teeth tightened for a while, so he walked straight over, pointed to his face and said: "Eating lard blinds your conscience!" You think that Yuan Zhang is now being punished by the marshal, so you get carried away! My husband Ma Xiuying, do you dare to bully like a pig and a dog?! I will go to my father now, and if the marshal does not know that you have done this to him, take care of your skin! ”
After that, he didn't care how they begged for mercy and flattery, and just went all the way to the barracks.
When they arrived at the gate of the camp, the soldiers guarding the gate saw that their aunt and grandmother were not good-looking, so they saluted with a look of interest.
Ah Xiu asked them to inform the commander Tang He, saying that the marshal had a secret order to convey by himself, and he was waiting outside. After a while, seeing Tang He trotting out, Ah Xiu motioned for him to come with him, so he walked to the side, and Tang He followed when he saw this.
"Did you check it?" Ah Xiu asked. Tang He knew that this was Ah Xiu asking about the previous confession of his inquiry, so he bowed his head and replied: "Since the third lady left, he immediately sent someone to secretly investigate, and also took those two people to ask, and now it has been found out that it is the centurion Tian Siwu and Sun Liusan who are jealous of Zhu Yuanzhang's talent, and they are often punished by me for laziness, so they have evil intentions and report to the marshal that Zhu Yuanzhang has the intention of committing a crime, and falsely claims that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to be a self-appointed general and replace him......"
"How can this be true? These pigs and dogs are not as good as the villains! Ah Xiuqi's willow eyebrows were upside down, and her phoenix eyes were threatening, she interrupted Tang He's words and asked, "Where are these two people?" ”
"Miss Huisan, I have asked someone to be grounded in my tent, does Miss want him to question?" Tang and Gong said.
"Take me!" Ah Xiu said coldly. Tang He couldn't help but be shocked: This woman is only in her twenties, she has such majesty, she doesn't lose half a point to a man, Zhu Yuanzhang has a wife like this, how can she not rise to the top, so it is even better to serve the two.
After entering the tent, the two villains saw Ah Xiu, knew that the matter was exposed, and only begged their subordinates to be born, so they crawled on the ground like a lost dog in the market and wailed for mercy.
Who knows that they are not like this, or it can make Ah Xiu dissipate a little anger, and now they are so unbearable to beg for mercy once they are defeated, which makes Ah Xiu make up his mind to get rid of them. Ah Xiu kicked the two away, walked to the chair in the middle and sat down, and Tang He ordered the sergeant to prepare the tea fruit.
Ah Xiu didn't say anything, waited for the sergeant to serve the tea, reached out and picked it up, took a sip, snorted, and said, "How do you want to die." ”
When the two people on the ground heard this, they didn't even want to have any face, and lay at Ah Xiu's feet crying and begging.
Ah Xiu slammed the tea bowl on the ground and scolded: "What kind of character should I be, I can only make such a depraved thing, and I dare to run in front of the marshal to frame my husband, did I really eat the bear's heart and leopard gall!" ”
Ah Xiu sneered and continued: "Say, who instructed it? ”
The two of them were already bluffed and couldn't hear what Ah Xiu said, but they begged for mercy one after another.
Seeing this, Tang He was afraid that Ah Xiu would be more angry, so he hurriedly shouted: "Two confused pigs and dogs!" The third lady still doesn't answer when she asks! ”
The two people on the ground were drunk like this, looked at Tang He, turned his face and looked at Ah Xiu in silence, Tang He asked: "The third lady asked who instructed you to frame Zhu Yuanzhang!" ”
The two of them were villains, and Ah Xiu expected that no one would instruct them, but they couldn't cheapen these villains, so they asked.
How did they know that the two men on the ground replied, "Yes, yes...... Be...... It's the marshal's two masters. ”
Tang He was also surprised, and asked if there was anyone who was the mastermind before, but both of them denied it, but now they said that it was the two young masters, and they thought that they were biting for their lives, so they went up and kicked the two a few times: "Bah! How dare you deceive Miss Three! Do you know that even the two masters don't have a big face in front of the marshal? Now in order to save his life, he brought out two young masters to suppress people? Or is it just a random bite?! ”
When Ah Xiu heard that it was Tianxu and Tianjue, he was puzzled at first, and then remembered that there was indeed such a statement in the wild history, so he sneered: "It seems that you are telling the truth, I might as well tell you, if you follow me to the marshal to identify the two masters, I will spare you from death, give you money and let you take your family to live, if not, I will accept the dog life of the two of you, even your family, I have a hundred ways to make them feel good!" ”
Seeing the two of them shocked on the ground, Ah Xiu comforted him softly: "Humanity is the virtue of a good life in God, I don't want to take your life, you just do what I say, and the benefits that are kept to you are something you can't earn in a few lifetimes!" ”
Tang Hexin secretly obeyed Ah Xiu's methods, so he shouted: "Don't kowtow and thank you, aren't you really afraid of death?!" ”
The two knew that they had no choice, and the third lady still said nothing in front of the marshal, and claimed to be able to pinch and calculate, and she didn't lie, could it be that she didn't know what was at stake? So he agreed to confront him the next day.
Ah Xiu nodded and soothed the two of them, and asked Tang He to send someone to take care of them.
On the second day, the marshal returned to the mansion from the army, and as soon as the servant brought tea, he saw Ah Xiu crying and walked in, and hurriedly greeted Ah Xiu and sat on the chair, and sat next to him.
Ah Xiu secretly pinched his waist and ribs, and immediately the tears flowed even more fiercely, Guo Zixing has been pampering Ah Xiu since Ah Xiu entered the house, because he has no daughter under his knees, he has already doted on Ah Xiu a few points more than others, and has relied on Ah Xiu's fortune-telling many times to obtain benefits, and he has long regarded Ah Xiu as a half-immortal in his heart.
Ah Xiu saw that Guo Zixing was a marshal, and he was played by his righteous daughter, knowing that he really loved himself, and secretly felt unbearable in his heart, so he could only deceive him in order to save Zhu Yuanzhang.
Ah Xiu cried so much that Guo Zixing sweated a little before he choked up and said, "I want to leave my father-in-law and go back to my hometown with Zhu Yuanzhang!" My father loves me, and some people hate me and want to be my husband who tramples me to death, and then manipulate me! ”
Guo Zixing heard this, he was not lightly bluffed, he was really afraid that Ah Xiu would really leave him, if this is the case, it would be tantamount to breaking his right arm, not to mention that now thanks to Ah Xiu's strategy, he can not be overwhelmed by the other marshals, once Ah Xiu leaves, the other marshals take the opportunity to squeeze their rights, where can they afford it!
Thinking of this, Guo Zixing was angry and anxious, and said: "Bold! Who is so afraid of death and dares to bully my palm pearl! Ah Xiu, you spare Daddy, don't cry anymore, as long as you don't leave and don't say angry words, Daddy will depend on you for everything! ”
Ah Xiu choked and raised his eyes, and looked at Guo Zixing with arguity: "Is it serious?" Is Daddy really angry with Ah Xiu? I don't believe it, Daddy only coaxes Ah Xiu to be stubborn! Guo Zixing saw that Ah Xiu's situation was slowing down, where did he dare not agree, and he hurriedly said that it should be serious.
Ah Xiu spoke: "It's the two brothers who can't tolerate me, a person with a foreign surname, and can't tolerate my husband!" If Daddy doesn't believe me, please send someone to bring the centurion who sued last time to you for questioning. After saying that, he cried a little more miserable than before.
When Guo Zixing heard this, he was furious, because he felt that the two rebels did not learn and did not know how to do it, not only could they not share their worries, but now they are bullying themselves to be old and mediocre, and they dare to use tricks to harm others in front of their eyes!
Guo Zixing sent someone to arrest the two people in Gaomi and used them for questioning, these two people had already made up their minds to think about their families' lives, they were already villains, and now seeing that Ah Xiu was next to them, they added a little more fuel to the two young masters' attitude of buying themselves.
This time, Guo Zixing really moved the tiger and became murderous, first slapped the case around him with one palm, and loudly ordered someone to invite Zhu Yuanzhang out of the stable and send him back to the house, and crowned him as the head of the army, and then issued a handsome order to go to the house of the two rebels to get people, it was really a desperate posture to find someone.
Ah Xiu saw that Guo Zixing fulfilled his wish, so he didn't want to embarrass the two righteous brothers seriously, but stopped the sergeant who received the commander's order to get people, and persuaded his father to come.
Guo Zixing didn't want to eat children, but he was angry for a while, and when he saw that Ah Xiu actually interceded for the two rebels, he paid more attention to Ah Xiu.
When the people next to him saw it, it was inevitable that they would talk about it in private, so that without spending a penny, the whole city knew the status of Ah Xiu and Zhu Yuanzhang, and it could be regarded as Ah Xiu helping Zhu Yuanzhang establish his authority.
