235 Mountain bandits
He Yuanzhang stood cramped in place, although he also felt that He Yuanfang's actions were embarrassing, but He Liu was his mother, what could he say?
He Zhengde eased down, seemed to suppress his anger, and he continued to say to Zhang Xiuhua: "You go on, tell all the things that that unfilial girl has done!" ”
Zhang Xiuhua also had the intention to let He Zhengde and He Yuanzhang see He Yuanfang's true face clearly, she would not forget that this sister-in-law has always had eyes on the top of her head, and never put her in her eyes. What made her even more dissatisfied was that He Zhengde obviously doted on He Yuanfang's daughter, and He Yuanzhang also doted on this sister.
When she was in the He family, she was not less angry with He Yuanfang!
Now that she has the opportunity, how can she let it go?
So Zhang Xiuhua continued: "I don't know how to let the merchant know about this matter, not only did it fail, but it also let the merchant seize the handle." Seeing that the merchant's wife successfully gave birth to a child, the mother and son were both pressed, and the concubine thought that she could break the idea of the eldest sister. But the eldest sister became even more demonic, and actually took the opportunity of Daoxi in the past to stay in the merchant as a guest. I don't know how she persuaded her mother, but she let her agree.
Who knew that on that night, something would go wrong. The eldest sister was taken advantage of by the second master of the merchant, and later had to be his flat wife. When they got married, the eldest lady of the merchant told this matter in front of the guests, which made the He family lose face. Half a year later, the eldest sister suddenly ran back covered in blood, saying that she had killed someone, and the concubine and mother were frightened. Later, I learned that the eldest sister was seriously injured because the second master of the merchant had placed the outer room and stabbed the second master of the merchant with a hairpin.
My mother was worried that my eldest sister would be caught. went to Lord Shang in person, and let Lord Shang see that the He family had been kind to him. Spare the big sister. Lord Shang agreed, and the eldest sister reconciled with the second master of the merchant. The merchant returned the eldest sister's dowry a lot. Then three years passed, Gu Yunhai, the richest man in Qingzhou, personally came to the door to ask to marry his eldest sister, and his mother and eldest sister were very satisfied with him, so they got married.
As a result, within a few months, news suddenly came out that Gu Yunhai had assassinated Lord Shang and had been executed, and all the people of the Gu family had been put in prison. Later, in order to protect the He family, my mother paid most of the family wealth, and finally let the He family escape. It's just that the concubine didn't expect it. Before the verdict came down, it was revealed that my mother went to the prison and wanted to force her eldest sister to death but was disfigured by her eldest sister.
Father, husband, they are all concubines who don't take good care of their mother and eldest sister, you punish me. ”
She said and knelt down again.
He Yuanzhang didn't wait for her to kneel down completely, he had already pulled her up, and said, "What does it have to do with you?" It's not your fault? ”
He Zhengde is an old fox, and He Yuanzhang is also a little fox, where do the father and son not understand after listening to Zhang Xiuhua's words? It is clear that He Liu's and He Yuanfang's refusal to listen to persuasion caused a scandal!
They all knew Heliu's temper. also knew that Zhang Xiuhua couldn't speak at all in front of He Liu's family, so he didn't get angry with her, but concentrated all his anger on the disfigured He Liu's family and the exiled He Yuanfang.
He Zhengde said even more angrily: "I, He Zhengde, don't have He Yuanfang's daughter!" ”
He Yuanzhang and Zhang Xiuhua both heard what he meant, although He Yuanzhang still had some feelings for He Yuanfang. But in the face of his father's gloomy face, he didn't say anything. As for Zhang Xiuhua, she was surprised at this time, but she had already begun to snicker proudly in her heart.
The old saying is true. Feng Shui takes turns, He Yuanfang. You also have today!
At this time, He Zhengde suddenly asked: "Did your mother still go to the merchant to make trouble?" ”
Zhang Xiuhua understood what He Zhengde meant after a little thought, and immediately said: "The Gu family just had an accident. The mother didn't believe it, and felt that the Gu family was framed by Lord Shang, so she found someone to spread some rumors. Later, His Majesty praised Lord Shang's holy decree and arrested many people who slandered Lord Shang. The mother was worried that the He family would also be arrested, so she said that she would go to Lord Shang to plead for intercession. The concubine happened to be not very good at the time, and she had to take care of the family, so she couldn't go with her mother.
If she had known that there would be something later, the concubine would have given up her life and would have followed her mother. The concubine also learned later that after her mother took Lu Yuchun to Qingzhou City, she began to promote the goodness of her eldest sister, and said that Lord Shang had a crush on her eldest sister, and Lord Shang had received the favor of the He family. As a result, she annoyed the merchant's wife, and she told her eldest sister what she had done before in front of many people, and the reputation of the He family was completely ruined. ”
He Zhengde was completely speechless with anger at this time, he still remembered the previous appearance of He Liu's family. Although He Liushi has a bit of a temper, he has a flexible brain and has helped him solve many problems. Who knew that as soon as he and his son were exiled, the He Liu clan actually turned into a pig's head!
In modern terms, He Liu's is simply a pig teammate who keeps pulling back for He Zhengde!
If there were no such things as He Liu's and He Yuanfang's troubles, with the He family's kindness to the business, as long as they made a little use, they would be able to bring the relationship between the two families closer. Now, he may have a right-hand man.
However, it was precisely because of He Liu's stupidity and short-sightedness that he not only lost the helper of Shang Shigong, but even the He family and the merchant had almost made a feud! Thinking about this time Shang Shigong snatched the position that should have belonged to him, He Zhengde couldn't help but feel that there was a conspiracy in it.
Perhaps, Shang Shigong had a grudge against the He family, so he deliberately took away his position.
What He Zhengde didn't expect was that the matter of the official position was simply a means deliberately played by the emperor, that is, he was worried that after the He family was rehabilitated, the merchants and the He family would turn into rivalry and get too close, so there was such an arrangement, so that the He family and the merchants broke more completely.
No matter how much regret and unwillingness there are, since the incident has happened, there is no room for recovery. He Liu's family has offended the merchant too much, He Zhengde doesn't believe it at all, it's all in this way, and the merchant is willing to work for him.
Shang Shigong naturally refused, and after the holy decree came down, he already roughly understood the emperor's calculations, and naturally he was worried that he would join forces with the He family. If he comes like this, even if the merchant wants to join the He family, I am afraid that he will have a grudge.
In fact, Shang Shigong was happy to get rid of the burden of the He family, although the emperor came to catch him off guard, but once he entered the capital, he was considered to have entered the central power group. I believe that as long as he manages it carefully, it won't be long before his dream can be realized.
Shang Shigong was transferred to the capital, and the emperor rearranged one of his henchmen to become the prefect of Qingzhou. After all, there is a huge iron mine outside Qingzhou City, which is his biggest hole card, and he can't rest assured if he doesn't arrange henchmen.
After handing over the work and counting the furniture and ornaments in the house, Shang Shigong took his family on the way to the capital.
Obviously, some people didn't want Shang Shigong's family to arrive in the capital alive, and after only one day of walking, they encountered a group of mountain bandits. It stands to reason that the mountain bandits will not come out after seeing the officers and soldiers, because they dare not directly offend the imperial court. But these people are obviously different, they are all sturdy, and they are all shrouded in a bloody fierce atmosphere, which is definitely not easy to mess with.
There were even ten archers among these mountain bandits, if Shang Jinxiu hadn't discovered these archers in advance, and used spatial cracks to sneak attack from behind while they were preoccupied with aiming, killing them all, even if there was a master like Lan Qi, they would have suffered heavy losses.
The bandits didn't give them time to speak, and as they rushed out, they shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" Brothers, listen up, none of the people below can be spared! ”
Hearing the word 'release arrows,' the officers and men were immediately a little panicked, but after waiting for a while, they were completely stunned when they did not find any arrows being fired.
Shang Shigong instantly guessed that there was a master to help, and immediately said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone! There are high-ranking people secretly helping each other, don't be afraid of this group of mountain bandits! ”
With this sentence, coupled with the fact that there were no arrows fired, the bandit leader was obviously a little panicked, and the officers and soldiers all believed Shang Shigong's words, suppressed the fear just now, and drew their weapons to face the mountain bandits.
Shang Jinxiu immediately said to Lan Qi: "Master, you go and help, just have me and Mulan Hibiscus here." ”
Lan Qi was not at ease, but she hoped that the officers and soldiers would suffer too many casualties, but after hesitating for a moment, she rushed out with her sword.
Shang Jinxiu directly took Shang Jinyun, Mulan and Mu Hibiscus to Li Shuhua and Shang Jinan's carriage to protect them nearby. She asked Mulan and Hibiscus to guard the carriage, while she lifted the small curtain of the window to look out.
At this time, it was broad daylight, and no matter how thin the spatial crack was, it could be discovered, so Shang Jinxiu mobilized the spatial power in his body and directly confronted the enemy by restricting the actions of the mountain bandits.
When this kind of big chaos is killed, if you are not careful, you may hurt your companions, Shang Jinxiu divided the invisible power of space into countless strings, and directly tied these strings to the legs of the mountain bandits. This kind of invisible spatial power can't be felt by the mountain bandits at all.
Then, it's time for Shang Jinxiu to play.
With the containment of these spatial forces, those mountain bandits are like marionettes in her hands. Of course, she only tied one foot to each bandit. However, once the bandit dodges or attacks, as long as she controls the rope that binds him, the bandit's attack or dodge will fail.
In this way, no matter how fierce the mountain bandits are, how can they be the opponents of officers and soldiers?
However, Shang Jinxiu was very reluctant to control so many ropes at once, until all the mountain bandits were ambushed, and her face was already slightly pale. The consumption of spatial power in this kind of control is actually not large, and it is only a little lost when it is recovered afterwards.
It's just that this kind of control is also accompanied by the control of mental power, which is very draining. Shang Jinxiu is now also used in actual combat for the first time. In order to get the timing right, she had to use her mental power to control the fight. (To be continued......)
