Chapter Forty-Seven: Ducks in Troubled Waters

Regardless of whether Mrs. Yu is good or not, this is a loss for the royal family. There are not many people available in the imperial court, and if Mrs. Yu dies again, she will be overstretched, and it will be difficult to mobilize a powerful person to defend the top cloud sword.

The second prince reluctantly asked his head to come up with a plan, and he looked like he could probably use it, so he planned to use this to Yun Jiandao: General Kangping, the Holy Lord is sympathetic to you, and wants to call this so-and-so person and so-and-so to go to the painting city, and transfer you back to the capital to rest and rest, what do you think?

Before the second prince could really ask, there was another news from Yun Jian's side. This time it's big news: the Queen Mother, the Three Emperors, Princess Xueyi, Lezheng's wife Zhu Ying and others are all missing!

It turned out that after Cui Heng reported his death, Jia Shi and other officials were also said to have been martyred, but the queen mother and other important members of the royal family are still missing. Now the news is that there is a local grass king, who has detained these nobles and wants the court to ask for a pen to redeem his silver, and he can't trust others, so he just contacts Yun Jian's right-hand man.

The second prince and the six gods had no master, and asked Yunzhou to discuss: "What should I do now?" ”

Guo Liche was jealous and asked the second prince: How can you only ask Mrs. Jianguo about something in the saint?

The second prince said weakly: It was said that she was in charge of the country...... Uh, ma'am......

Guo Liche continued to fight for himself - uh no, for the civil and military officials - what are we using to put us generals, scholars, and bachelors first? Don't you even ask?

The second prince raised his hand and surrendered: Okay, ask you. What's your idea?

Guo Liche took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the town to guard the painting city! The grass king who robbed the nobles. Isn't it between the painting city and the capital? All right! Guo Liche painted the city in the west, and Yun Jian was in the capital in the east, and his subordinates contacted the Caotou King about the ransom of the nobles. If Yun Jian didn't agree, he would be harboring evil intentions, Guo Liche teamed up with his brother Dongxun and directly slashed him!

After saying this idea, Guo Liche puffed out his cheeks and waited for the second prince to reply.

The second prince sighed: "General Jingyu only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other." ”

Guo Liche thought that the second prince was going to refute her, like a hedgehog. Waiting to debate with him.

As a result, the second prince said: "What do you think the Lady of the Prison Country has come up with for me?" ”

It turns out that what Yunzhou said also means this! Please Guo Liche go to the painting city! Anyway, Guo Liche has a good relationship with his brother Dongxun. Dong Xun and the Seventh Lord died and stepped on the ground. Raise the Seventh Prince, the Prison Prince, by his side, and contain one by one, so he is not afraid that Guo Liche will make any changes.

This imperial mental trick of pulling one by one had to be quietly calculated in the palace. The name given outside is: the saint only looks at the virtuous and the unvirtuous. Regardless of seniority, even men and women.

What he said to Liche was: Others look down on you as a woman leading soldiers? The Holy One looks up to you! As long as you can fight. Nothing else is a problem! Stop the crooked! The Holy One doesn't listen to them! They have the ability to tell them to lead their own troops to fight! I don't dare to give them such an important place as the painting city! General Jingyu, you assign a place for them to fight!

Guo Liche was very grateful and felt that this was really a good emperor. She's just in time!

I don't know if Yun Jian is willing to agree?

Yunzhou did not know the prophet at this time. She sighed: "How can General Kangping have two words? ”

Sure enough! Cloud Sword was before the imperial court could announce the order to him. I asked for my resignation first: I received the news from my hometown Jincheng, I was very concerned, and asked the court to be sympathetic, let him go back to his hometown first, and help Xie Xiaoheng's coffin to return to his hometown for burial.

Jincheng's message has indeed been passed. Mrs. Xie's grave is safe. Aunt You Wu remarried.

It was also a troubled time at that time. Aunt You Wu had to stay in Jincheng because of her daughter Xiao Yu'er's illness. After Xirong captured Jincheng, he plundered it on a large scale, but also maintained the basic order of Jincheng. Aunt You Wu was already aggrieved in Xie Mansion, and she was afraid that Xie Mansion would make a big move, and it was not enough for Xirong people to come and grab things once or twice, and she was afraid that she would rob women again. She took the little fish and hid in her uncle's house.

Xiaoyu'er is cured, healthy and cute, and will not bother others too much. Aunt You Wu thought that she had brought a lot of things to her uncle's house over the years, and her uncle and aunt were very good to her, so she must have received her warmly this time. Who knew that after bringing Xiao Yu'er over, the men and women of the You family were a little weird to her, and it wasn't until she took out another pack of fine soft that her attitude changed.

Aunt You also knew that her uncle's family was unreliable, and she wanted to buy some properties by herself, and she had a side, but it was not good to buy a house for a while in troubled times. It's a shame that the neighbors also want to flee, and there are two vegetable fields that are in a hurry to sell. Aunt You Wu thought that if the silver taels were placed by her side, they were also embezzled by the uncles, so it was better to set up a vegetable field, if the Xirong people really wanted to take it, even if the silver would be taken away, it would be better to change it to a field, and it would be safer, so she bought it, claiming that the silver taels were used up. The uncle's face is really not good-looking, but they can barely provide food and drink for their mother and daughter.

Aunt You Wu harvested a crop of vegetables in the vegetable field, and she ate what she should eat, pickled what she could pickle, and dried what she could dry, thinking that even if her uncle's family turned around and drove people away, she would not starve to death. There is also a small shack on the edge of the vegetable field, which is a place for the vegetable watchers to spend the night, and it is quite strong for their own use, and it can also shelter from the wind and rain. If their uncle's house didn't even allow them to take refuge on a roof, they would have a place to go.

Alas, this is also a lot of suffering, and I can't trust others, but I still have my own two hands reliable. Fortunately, Xijon is now managing better, and she dares to continue to plan her own life. But if she really can't get by, she probably has to go back to Xie Mansion with an old face.

But it was also strange, her uncle's face was bad for a few days, and then it got better again. Is it also the relationship between the order of the city and the better? But this does not explain why even her aunt flattered her like a pot of fire, and invited her to bathe in spices, combed her hair with her own osmanthus oil, and inserted her own jewelry, and persuaded her to take her clothes and put them on. Aunt You Wu felt weird, and excused herself: "Why are you dressed so well?" Her aunt said, "Hey, let's go to the temple fair!" ”

Aunt You was surprised: "At this time, you still go to the temple fair?" ”

Her aunt said, "Huh! At this time? When? Xiao Xiahou manages this place well, why can't there be a temple fair. ”

It turned out that at this time, the person in charge of Jincheng was a king of Xirong, and his title was Xia. It was supposed to be Xiahou, but his father was already Xiahou. That's why people call him his father Da Xiahou and Xiao Xiahou.

This little Xiahou knows very well that he can't kill chickens and take eggs, and focuses on recuperating in Jincheng, with remarkable results. also handled a big case:

It turns out that there is a lot of water and grass on the edge of Jincheng, and some people raise ducks. These duck keepers set up a big tent at the water's edge to make it easier to see the ducks, and gradually gathered like a village, the villagers were thousands of ducks, and those who chased the ducks, chased the ducks, like shouting for the general of the expedition.

There was a homeless man who passed by this neighborhood and saw a farmhouse, so he knocked on the door and asked for a place to stay. It's getting late. There was a woman living in the farmhouse, and she did not dare to take him in, and did not even dare to open the door, and persuaded him to go to the duck tent to save his lodging. The homeless man really went.

In the middle of the night, the woman heard a miserable cry coming from the canopy. She thought: Oh no! Don't be a duck chaser for money and kill people!

She wants to report to the official, but the place where she lives is a little far from the government, and she can't come in the past, let alone the third watch in the middle of the night, and I don't know if she will be robbed on the way, not to mention, I don't know if the government is willing to listen to her report - after all, it is now the Xijon people who are in charge! Who said what does Xirong Xiao Xiahou mean?

In a hurry, the woman lit a fire, burned the stack of straw behind the house, and shouted loudly. The neighbors were awakened and frightened when they saw the fire, fearing that the fire would spread to the place where they lived. At such a time, no matter how selfish a person is, he cannot be left alone. Saving your neighbor's fire is saving yourself! They all rushed to put out the fire.

When the group came, the woman said to them, "Leave my house alone, go to the duck tent and save people!" ”

This group of neighbors came, and it was inconvenient to push it anymore, but by virtue of the courage of the people, they really went. It turned out to be too late. The people in the duck tent chopped up the homeless man and used it as duck food.

The duck originally only ate small fish and shrimp, and when they saw that there was minced meat to eat, they couldn't tell whether it was an animal on land or in the water, in short, they were mixed with aquatic plants and ate them together. By the time the people arrived, the ducks had already eaten some, and there were still some minced meat and bloody clothes left, which had not been disposed of. If it comes later, it is estimated that there will be no evidence left!

The crowd shouted, tied up all the people in the duck tent, and escorted the official. In the midst of this, the ducks were so frightened that they scattered and hid in the water, and they did not say anything. So much so that when I put it back in later, I always felt that the size of the duck flock was much smaller, did some ducks flee to other places, became happy mallards, and never came back? Or did someone touch the ducks in troubled waters and catch these ducks to eat them themselves? There is no way to verify it.

In short, Xiao Xiahou took the case, dealt with it seriously, killed all these duck tents, cut off their heads to show the public, and rewarded the woman heavily. The woman's house was half-burned by the flames of the straw stacks. He asked Li Zheng to raise money for the neighbors, and the officials came out of the people to rebuild the woman's house.

This move conveyed a powerful message: Xiao Xiahou really asked for peace in the place and everyone to live and work in peace and contentment.

So the market slowly regained some vitality, and indeed some people went to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. The gods that the Xijon people believe in are not the same as those of the Han people, but they also do not prohibit the Han people from worshipping the gods of the Han people. I probably think that the existence of such filth as the Han people is not worthy of going to their temple to worship their god Rong! They just built the Rong Shrine themselves. Only their own people can enter the Rong Shrine. Those who are really docile and reverent among the Han people are allowed to bow outside the walls of the Rong Shrine. Others can't even get close to the palace walls!

You Wu's aunt invited You Wu to the temple fair, which was a temple fair for the Han people, and You Wu did not agree to go. She always felt that something was weird, so it was better to be careful. (To be continued......)
