Chapter 17: Promotion (1)
Subscribing to the collection is the greatest spiritual wealth that brothers can give to Yun Ming, and Yun Ming will also work hard to update it to repay many brothers! Roar, who has forgotten, please support! Little brother will be grateful! )
"Master, I didn't expect that I was deceived by that Zhou Wenzhong in the official school, and actually appointed a child of a family who did not learn and did not know how to be the foreign envoy of the city! It seems that there is really a problem with the government school here! Xiang Lan'er said to the middle-aged Confucian sitting cross-legged in a secret room.
"Lan'er, I don't blame you for this! Ordering someone to get rid of this person may be the best plan, and then you can transfer this person to the city division as Lu Yuanzhi's deputy, and he can be used as a pawn for us. The middle-aged Confucian took out a document from his arms and handed it to Xiang Lan'er.
Xiang Lan'er took the paperwork, and when she opened it, she saw the contents inside, with a look of surprise on her face, and immediately blurted out: "Master!" If this person is used, I am afraid that there will be chaos, and the people of Quanzhou will be even more miserable, is this appropriate? ”
"Lan'er, the Semu people have some ambitions in my two places in Fuzhejiang, although Saifuding and Amiliddin are old, but as ten thousand households, they always have ambitions, and when they have to transport the silver to the north, you will return to the capital with your teacher."
"After the outbreak of the dispute between Emperor Hui and the crown prince, the ability to control the military will inevitably decline, if these two Fan subordinates take the opportunity to make a rebellion, it will definitely cause the Yuan Court to suffer a heavy setback, Shanxi and Gansu several provinces are the hinterland of Zhongshu Province, if the generals and the army are together, the Yuan Court will no longer have the power to return to the sky, and then my Han people will also rise up, if the people in the Central Plains all revolt, the Yuan Court will retreat north, and my plan for nearly a hundred years to restore the country can be successful!" The middle-aged Confucian said with a solemn look on his face.
"Master! It's just that in this way, the people in Fuzhejiang and even the people in the world will be miserable! It's hard for me to feel at ease doing that. After hearing the words of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, Xiang Lan'er knew that this was a plan to defeat the Yuan court.
If there is turmoil in these two places, the collapse of the Yuan court is inevitable, first of all, it will not be able to supply a huge army, and the Yuan court will inevitably be unable to restrain the power kingdoms of the feudal kingdoms in various places, but Xianglan'er still has some pity for the people after the civil strife.
"Lan'er, you're wrong to think so! Since the Yuan Taizu, tens of millions of people have killed my Han, and I have put my dignified Han nation at the bottom, and even the people of the countries of Fanbang have more preferential treatment than them. A small sacrifice is more than the people who died back then, and you should be able to weigh the pros and cons! When the middle-aged Confucian said this, he couldn't help sighing.
When Xiang Lan'er heard her master say this, she also knew in her heart that what he said was indeed reasonable, but she was still a little uneasy in her heart, she couldn't help but think of the scene of arson and slaughter in Lijia Village at this time, and couldn't help but be silent, just looking at the documents in her hand.
Shang Yu carefully removed the joints on the door shaft, and slowly pulled out the door shaft, and then instructed Lu Wan to support the door and remove a door shaft below, just doing this action, Shang Yu broke out in a cold sweat, first, he was a little afraid in his heart, and secondly, he saw in the crack of the door that there were two men wearing cotton robes standing at the door of the open courtyard outside the firewood room, and one of them was still holding a bright short knife in his hand behind his back, obviously to prevent them from escaping.
After gently placing the door shaft on the ground, Shang Yu got up and supported the door, put his mouth to Lu Wan's ear and whispered, "Second Miss!" When I open the door, you run after me, and I'll stop the two men, if you're right! As long as you run to the front yard, where there are many guests, these wicked people will never dare to commit murder in public, and after running outside, there are many horse-drawn carriages that can be hired in the three alleys here, and you can go directly to your home. ”
Lu Wan's earlobe was tickled by the air flow generated by Shang Yu's speech, and a numb feeling instantly spread to half of Lu Wan's body, and she immediately felt as if she had lost her strength, and turned her head and glared at Shang Yu with some displeasure.
But thinking of Shang Yu's words, and seeing Shang Yu's sincere gaze again, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice with some worry: "Muyu, if that's the case, then you'll be fine, right?" The man outside still has a murder weapon in his hand! As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance out through the crack in the door again.
Hearing Lu Wandi's words, Shang Yu couldn't help but be a little afraid, but he instantly remembered that as a man, he had to take responsibility, which was the idea that his father had instilled in him since he was a child.
"Second Miss! Don't worry, if you can run farther, I'll follow, I'm nimble! It's not so easy to get hurt, and you forgot that I just said that I knocked that idiot to the ground yesterday? Shang Yu whispered this, although he was still a little afraid in his heart, but he had already settled down a little in his heart, thinking about the fact that he had knocked down an adult man yesterday, and gradually had some confidence in his heart.
After hearing this, although Lu Wan was still a little uneasy, he could hear Shang Yu's tone very firmly, and if he didn't escape at this time, he would not be able to escape when the wicked man blocked the door.
"Those two are blocking the gate of the courtyard, how do we escape from them?" Lu Wan was overly frightened, completely losing his usual naughty and intelligent appearance, and asked Shang Yu again.
"Second Miss! I'll knock on the door later, and they'll both come and see it at the same time, and when they get to the door, I'll kick it hard and hit them, and it's the only way to keep it from opening by our own hands! When the time comes, you can run out of the hospital with all your might. Shang Yu said at this time.
"That's good! Wooden fish, you should be careful when you arrive. Lu Wan was a little grateful to Shang Yu in his heart at this time, but he didn't expect that Shang Yu, who had always been cowardly, would have such courage in his impression, which made Lu Wan feel a little strange in his heart, but then he secretly scolded himself in his heart: "He is just a person under his name, why should I be grateful to him?" ”
Shang Yu began to knock on the door at this time, and "Dangdangdang" sounded three times, and the two people on the other side of the courtyard door immediately turned their heads.
"Huh! Strange, why is there sudden movement in the firewood room? ”
"Let's go! Let's take a look, don't those two imps want to break free from the rope and run away, the silver in hand will fly! Zeng will also be very angry. ”
At the same time, Shen Fu put several thousand taels of silver tickets on the table, and the poor mother said with a happy smile on her face: "I didn't expect Shen Gongzi to be so generous, and actually fell in love with our family's cherished flowers, she is still Qingqi'er, but her temperament is too strong, and she is also the head of the class owner of Yazhu Hall, it stands to reason that your six thousand taels of silver are enough to redeem her, but I have raised her for more than two years, and there is no need to talk about pollen rouge money, that is, I will find someone to make her such a stunning beauty with both color and art, and it is more than this silver tael, right?" ”
Xihua's face was a little pale, when she entered Fanghua Hall, she was only sold for twenty taels of silver by the local opera troupe back then, and now Shen Fu paid a high price of six thousand taels, this old bustard still refused to let her go, she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart, she said softly: "Shen Gongzi, the concubine is not worth those silver taels, you still don't redeem yourself for me!" ”
Shen Fu couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he saw the expression on Xihua's face, and turned his face to his poor mother with a smile and asked, "I don't know how many silver taels my mother wants?" ”
When Mother Pity saw Shen Fu asking, she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and immediately said, "Shen Gongzi! As long as you muster together 10,000 taels of silver, I will immediately hand over to you the deed of sale of Xihua, and you can take her away immediately. ”
At this moment, the door curtain was lifted, Lu Zhong hugged a woman, walked into the hall with a satisfied smile on his face, and Zhang Shicheng behind him also returned to the hall with a look of excitement, seeing the expressions of the three people in the hall, both of them couldn't help but be stunned.
"Brother Xian! What do you do with all these taels of silver? Zhang Shicheng let go of the woman who was snuggling in his arms, came to the table and pointed to the silver ticket placed on it, he was a little surprised, and immediately opened his mouth to ask Shen Fu.
Shen Fu sighed, these six thousand taels are all the silver taels he brought today, if he goes back to get them, I am afraid that when he comes back, his mother will sit on the ground again.
immediately said that he wanted to redeem himself for cherishing flowers, and Zhang Shicheng's eyes couldn't help but widen after hearing it.
"This mother actually made this girl 10,000 taels, so what was the price when you bought this girl?"
Mother Pity immediately stood up unhappily, crossed her waist and stared at her eyes and said, "What about ten thousand taels? This uncle, I'm up to me here! Come here to have fun with girls, I always do my best to entertain! You are redeeming people at this moment, but you want to redeem the top class master of my Yazhu Hall, she is the priceless treasure of our Fanghua Hall, and the price should be decided by me! If you have ten thousand taels of silver, I will release her immediately, or else I will not want her to leave me." ”
Lu Zhong listened very earnestly on the side, his face couldn't help but sink, and he immediately stretched out a big hand, pressed it on the desktop, and then said: "This mother, if you can agree to accept the silver taels on the table and let this girl be free, grandpa, I won't trouble you!" Quickly hand over this girl's contract of betrayal, otherwise Lao Tzu will directly screw off your head as a night pot! As he spoke, he grimaced to look at the table with a cold face.
When the old bustard heard Lu Zhongdi's words, she sneered and said, "Do you still dare to threaten the old lady, the old lady is not a threat...... Yes! This uncle, I know it's wrong, don't do it to me, this is the deed of sale of cherished flowers, you can take it! I don't want those silver taels either! The expression of the poor mother was really surprising.
Shen Fu turned his face and looked at the top of the table with some puzzlement, and couldn't help but gasp immediately, and said in a lost voice: "It turns out that Brother Lu has such kung fu?" It was really an eye-opener for me. He immediately felt sincere admiration for Lu Zhong.
I saw a piercing palm print neatly appear on the tabletop, and you could see the ground directly, the chairs in this Yazhu hall were all made of hard bamboo, and this table of eight immortals was made of hard subway pear wood, and ordinary knives and axes only left a few marks on it, and Lu Zhong easily pierced it this time, and it was silent, which was absolutely extremely shocking, and the reason why this was the case was that the old bustard's mother would immediately hand over the contract of sale out of fear.
I saw Lu Zhong take the deed of sale from the old bustard, and immediately handed it to Shen Fu, and then said with a smile: "Brother! Once the contract is in hand, the silver taels will be left here. Get out of here with this girl! ”
Zhang Shicheng also looked at Shen Fu with a smile and said, "Brother, let's go!" Brother Lu and I suddenly remembered that nothing had been done, and we needed to go back to the inn to deal with it, and we would escort the salt goods on the road tomorrow, so we would leave here first, and I would have something to say to you on the way! After speaking, he picked up Lu Zhong and walked out.
Shen Fu nodded gratefully, took up Xihua's hand, put the deed of sale into her hand and said, "Xihua, let's go!" With that, he hugged the flowers and walked out.
Xihua glanced at the Yazhu Hall a few times with complicated eyes, but she refused to look at her mother again, and followed Shen Fu out of the hall.
"Hey, hey! A stone girl can actually sell for six thousand taels of silver, that Shen Wansan is really a nerd! Do you think my mother really wants to embarrass you? If not, how could the old lady let a cash cow sit there and be idle? The old bustard's mother looked at the backs of Shen Fu and the others with some disdain and muttered, but her hand took advantage of the situation to put the silver ticket on the table into her sleeve very quickly. (Note: Shinu is a general term for women with congenital hypoplasia in ancient times, that is, women who cannot be humane and give birth, and there are many specific causes, so I will not repeat them here.) )
At this moment, many women's screams sounded in Fanghua Hall.
"Oh my God!"
"Help, Bloodman!"
Shen Fu saw at a glance a young man running out behind Fanghua Hall, his cheeks and body were stained with blood, and his face looked a little familiar, and after looking closely, he immediately shouted: "Shang Yu, is it you?" "I was shocked in my heart, why did Shang Yu appear here covered in blood? And why did you get hurt?
"Young Master! It's me, the second lady has already run outside, you take her home quickly. Shang Yu fainted when he said this.
Shen Fu was immediately shocked......
In the middle of Fanghuatang, the two gangsters were being slapped in the mouth by Zeng Ziyi.
"You two fools! actually let them run away, there are so many people outside, don't you make a fool of Lord Ben? This matter has nothing to do with me, this is a thousand taels of silver, you take it and leave the alley quickly! Zeng Ziyi said with some annoyance.
Originally, he just wanted people to break Shang Yu's legs, but he didn't expect these two people to beat someone and kidnap the second lady of the Lu family, even so, if he was optimistic, he would be fine.
At that time, if he and Lu Wan achieve a good thing, the Lu family will also accept the marriage of him, the son of the richest man in Suzhou, in order to cover his shame, which will only be good for the family and no harm, when he heard the news, Zeng Ziyi was very excited.
And when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Lu Wan in men's clothes rushing through the door, and then saw Shen Fu's scholar boy desperately stopping in front of the two thugs, and used his hand to resist the short knife swung by one of the thugs, and the result was naturally blood splattering.
"Listen to me! Later, when Zeng Ziyi went out, he sent out a blow arrow to shoot him, and then cut off the tongues of the two thugs and caught them in the official mansion, someone must be responsible for the death of the new foreign envoy! I didn't expect that the character of the people who wanted to kill the people of the Thousand Households was so despicable! A man dressed in black flew down from the eaves and whispered to several soldiers guarding the back alley, shaking his head and sighing.
"Yes! Lord of 100 households. One of the soldiers immediately replied in a low voice, already holding in his hand the blowgun commonly used by people in the rivers and lakes, although this kind of arrow could not reach far, but most of them were extremely toxic arrows, at least they could make people unconscious, and at this time, the tip of the arrow at the front of the blowgun was shining with a chilling blue glow.
