Chapter 23: Mother and Son

After understanding the situation, Lin Xu was very pleased, waved his hand, and said: General Sun has worked hard, and he will go back to rest and rest, and this general can deal with it here!

After watching the melancholy Sun Jian get out, Lin Xu rubbed his face, put on a smile that he thought was very kind, walked to Zhu Zhen who knelt down and saluted, grabbed his wrist, and walked towards the stone pier in the village.

"Zhu Zhuangshi doesn't need to be polite, I'll sit down and talk about it"

Seeing Zhu Zhen, who was a bit Burmese, sitting uneasily on the stone pier, Lin Xu was even happier in his heart

(Myanmar equals simplicity, simplicity equals good foolishness, this should be stable!) )

Zhu Zhen felt a little hairy, although his intuition told him that the adult in front of him, who seemed to be older than the previous one, had no ill will towards him, but that look made goosebumps all over his body.

(I don't know if this adult can help me get rid of the guilt, my mother is ....., alas)

"I heard that Zhu Zhuangshi once killed someone by mistake because of his mother's search for meat, yes or no?"

"Yes, yes, at that time, the Jiang butcher dragged the pig's trotters alive and dead, and I punched him a few times in a hurry, and I didn't know that this guy couldn't help fighting, and he was killed without the strength for a while."

"So now, what is Zhu Zhuangshi going to do?"

"I heard that the conscription order can temporarily exempt me from responsibility, and I want to ask the adults to give me one, so that I can kill some yellow turban thieves to atone for my crimes."

When Lin Xu heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly

"I have the right to give a conscription order, but this thing is not something that can be given casually, do you know the stakes involved?"

"This~~, I don't know"

Zhu Zhen looked stunned and scratched his head

When Lin Xu heard this, he was happy again, don't you understand? That's even better wow

"Let me explain to you, the conscription order is a special recruitment order issued by the imperial court to some well-known and talented people, such as celebrities, hermits, great Confucians, etc., and generally only His Majesty can directly recruit and hire. When my courtiers discover such figures, they can go to the court and ask His Majesty to issue a decree to recruit them. ”

After Zhu Zhen heard this, his face turned pale, celebrities? Great Confucianism? He is just a vulgar hunter, how can he be qualified to be personally recruited by the emperor?!

"But, but I, I can kill people, didn't the general say ..... before"

Looking at Zhu Zhen, who was incoherent, Lin Xu waved his hand to interrupt him, and he came out to kill people, what do you want to do?

"What General Sun said is not His Majesty's conscription order, but the right to call up that I, the auxiliary general, asked His Majesty for before setting out on the expedition!"

"That, that~"

"Listen to me, I can call you up, and I can absolve you of your guilt, but! I am responsible for your actions, and if you do something wrong, I am responsible, you know? ”

"I, I won't, I'm willing to obey the adult's orders, what the adult says to do, I will do what, what I don't do, I will never dare to act rashly, ask the adult and me for a conscription order"

Looking at Zhu Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Lin Xu felt a little guilty in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed his shoulders and wanted to help him up, but unexpectedly, this thing was a warp, and he kowtowed more violently, and it was slamming.

Lin Xu, who couldn't hold it on his face, had to shout angrily

"Get up for General Ben!"

Only then did Zhu Zhen raise up, blood flowed from his forehead, and a half-foot pit appeared on the ground.

"It's been a year since you killed someone, why are you so eager to clear your name today?"

Lin Xu is indeed a little curious, according to his understanding, in the era of the Han Dynasty, human life is like a mustard, not only does he not care about the lives of others, but he also does not attach great importance to his own life, and it is not that he cherishes his life, but Zhu Zhen should be completely like this: his head has fallen off, the scar of the bowl is big, and he is a good man again after 20 years!

"In the past few days, my mother has been seriously ill, and I have been talking about my murder, lest I be arrested by the government to cut off my head, cut off my Zhu family's incense, I can't eat, and I live with gruel every day, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my mother will die and won't look away~"

The iron-beaten man is now crying like a child, and the rangers around him are hiding their faces and whimpering.

"Alas~"

Lin Xu stood up and let out a long sigh

(It's so simple, but I ......, I can only remedy it~)

Decisively took out Sun Jian's silk book from his arms and spread it on the stone pier, untied the seal of the auxiliary general hanging on his waist, and printed it with a snap of the silk book.

After putting away the general's seal, Lin Xu patted Zhu Zhen's shoulder and said seriously

"Hold, it's your call-up! If you want, follow me, and I will not do you any wrong! Now, take me to see Ling's mother, perhaps, I can heal one or two. ”

Zhu Zhen raised his head, looked at the conscription order in front of him for a moment, and kowtowed three times to Lin Xu.

"My mother is filthy now, and I don't dare to dirty my adult....."

"That's it! Do you want your mother to die, or do you want your mother to live? ”

Zhu Zhen looked at Lin Xu, who was annoyed, his eyes turned red, he stopped talking, and lowered his head to bring him into the house

(Wait for me to send my mother away, and then die for Engong!) )

In the thatched hut, there was a disgusting smell of rancidity, and the emaciated mother was lying on a wooden plank covered with hay, dying.

"But~, my son"

The voice was weak, as if it were dying

"Mother!"

Zhu Zhen knelt in front of the bed, handed the silk book in his hand to Zhu's mother, and said sadly

"Mother, the child is no longer a sinner, the child has been conscripted, and he is no longer a sinner~"

"Really? Okay, good~, my son is not a sinner, not anymore~"

Mother Zhu finally got a little angry, but soon weakened, although she didn't understand what a conscription order was, but her good boy would never lie to her, saying that she was not a sinner, then it must not be!

Seeing that Mother Zhu was about to close her eyes, Lin Xu took two steps and walked to the bed and said loudly

"I am an auxiliary general, Zhu Zhen has made a lot of contributions in the army, I have already said a family matter for him, my daughter's family has agreed, and the dowry has been prepared, just wait for you to check the marriage book and agree on the date, you see..."

"Ah~~"

Zhu Mu's eyes suddenly widened, her pupils focused, and she had a slight look.

"Zhen'er~, this, this is true?"

Looking at Zhu Zhen with a tangled face, Lin Xu rolled his eyes, it's all at this time, and he still cares about lying?!

"This is the seal of the auxiliary general of the general, you can take a look"

Lin Xu directly took out the big seal and presented it in front of Zhu Mu, looking at Zhu Mu who was a little confused, he had no choice but to speak

"Zhu Zhen, am I the general of the Han Auxiliary State? Have you received my conscription order, and have you killed hundreds of Yellow Turban thieves? ”

"Huh? Yes, mother, this adult is indeed a general, and the child does not dare to deceive his mother."

"Good~good~, old body, old body wants to bow to my lord" Zhu's mother was overjoyed, and began to struggle to get up

Looking at Zhu Zhen, who actually helped his mother get up instead of stopping him, Lin Xu kicked over angrily, and quickly pushed Zhu's mother back to the bed and said

"You don't have to be polite, you can recuperate, you know, Zhu Zhen can't do it without your mother, this family business can't be done!"

Taking this opportunity, Lin Xu carefully investigated Zhu's mother's condition, his face was pale, his lips were slightly purple, and he touched his forehead

(Hiss ~ so hot!) Fever?! But where does the rancid smell come from? )

"Zhu Zhen, let everyone disperse, and then go to fetch a basin of cold water, preferably well water!"

Zhu Zhen opened his mouth when he heard this, and stayed in place stunned, at a loss, but a ranger behind him reacted violently and ran out.

"My lord, my mother~~"

Zhu Zhen, who finally reacted, grabbed Lin Xu's shoulders with his two big hands, looking surprised.

"If you're so stupid, it's not necessarily!"

It's not that Lin Xu wants to scare this stupid big man, but he was really pinched by these two big hands like iron tongs.

This time, Zhu Zhen finally didn't stay stunned, turned his head and glared viciously at the dozen or so rangers who were still clubbed in place.

Looking at the rangers who were scrambling out, Lin Xu couldn't help but smile

"Go and bring all the silk from my wagon"

"Hey"

"Take away your mother's bedding and cloak and put it on silk."

"Hey"

I probed the water from the well that I had sent urgently, and it was cool enough

"Soak the sackcloth and put it on your mother's forehead, and if it's not cool, get a new one immediately!"

"Hey"

"Scrub your mother's body carefully and find the wounds"

"Hey, ah~! This ....."

Seeing Zhu Zhen's entangled face again, Lin Xu scolded angrily

"This fart, your mother gave birth to you and raised you, wipe it for it, what can you do!!"

"Hey!!"

"I'll go out first, notify me when I find the wound!"

Lin Xu, who came out, took a deep breath, and the fresh air was comfortable~

After a while, Zhu Zhen began to exclaim

Lin Xu hurriedly ran over, looking at Zhu Mu's blackened toes, which had obviously been bitten by mice, and was furious

"Bastard! That's how you take care of your mother?!! ”

Zhu Zhen stood aside, bowed his head and was silent, his teeth clenched, his fists clenched loudly, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"Humph!"

Lin Xu snorted coldly

"Go get some willow bark and boil water!"

(I can't ask for toes, I can only cut them!) )
