Before the plague spread to Fenyang City, Wen Chengcheng had already learned about it from Qin Chuan's letters, and learned about the transmission route of the plague and how to prevent it.

Immediately, Wen Jiancheng united with the enlightened people in the city, warned the local government, and asked the government to immediately clean all the streets and corners of the city according to the method given by Qin Chuan, and then mobilize the people in the city to bathe and wash, remove fleas, and hunt and kill rats, and it is strictly forbidden to have direct contact with rats, and it is forbidden to eat rat meat.

The local governor and many officials were originally very unimpressed, firstly because there had been no big head plague in Fenzhou, and second, they did not believe that bathing and cooking clothes could resist big head plague.

But Wencheng was quite famous among the local scholars, and he had always had something to say, and many scholars and squires believed his words.

The most important thing is that the gentry in the city are afraid that the plague will spread to Fenyang City.

So, when hundreds of Fenzhou students and village gentry went to the Zhizhou Yamen to petition, the local magistrate and other officials had to do what Wencheng said, and clean up the whole city.

Under the coercion of those wolf-like officials, the people in the city also moved.

The city of Fenyang was also blocked, and the people in the city could not get out, and the hungry people outside the city could not enter.

After hearing that there was food in Jingle and Lan County, most of the hungry people in the neighborhood went there, and there were not many wandering around Fenyang.

Even so, Wen Cheng and a few enlightened people mobilized the squires in the city to donate money and grain, and set up porridge shacks outside the city to help the hungry.

However, the two things of locking down the city to prevent the big head plague and helping the hungry people are contradictory, and the squires in the city want those hungry people to go as far as possible, so as not to spread the big head plague into Fenyang City.

Therefore, no one paid attention to Wen Cheng and those enlightened people, and the government refused to open the city gate to set up a porridge shed for the Wen family to go out of the city.

This time, Wencheng's fame didn't play much of a role.

Until Qin Chuan arrived.

Qin Chuan came to Wen's house to propose.

The plague epidemic is not serious now, but Qin Chuan knows that it will not be long before the plague will spread throughout Shanxi and gradually spread to the north of Zhili.

Therefore, he has to marry Wen Suxin back as soon as possible, take Wen Cheng to Lou Fu, and then let this old man introduce some talented people to come over to help him do things.

The local government of Fenyang City knew that he was not easy to mess with, and because of the face of the Wen family, they let him enter the city.

Although the time was very rushed, there were a lot of three media and six hires in Qin Chuan, and the whole cart of dowry was even smacked by the squires in the city.

Qin Chuan has no shortage of silver taels, let alone jewelry, in addition to the buckets, rulers, scales, scissors, mirrors and abacus, he also pulled several boxes of rare treasures.

On the day of the matchmaking, Wen Cheng saw Wen Suxin running back to the room with red cheeks, so he should get married.

That day, Wen Cheng and Qin Chuan were alone in the study for more than an hour, and no one knew what they talked about.

Moreover, after sending Qin Chuan away, Wen Cheng stayed alone in the study for half a night.

After that day, Qin Chuan found an inn in Fenyang City to stay.

Under the recommendation of Wencheng, he visited many local scholars, including high-ranking children, poor children, and even some people who are not good at reading and are only curious about lewd skills.

Of course, Qin Chuan also visited the local officials in Fenyang City, some of them closed their doors to him, and some of them dealt with things with haha.

Three days after the matchmaker, the Wen family held a small banquet, and Qin Chuan wore a brand-new official uniform, rode a high-headed horse, and went to the Wen family to propose marriage under the support of red-clothed attendants carrying eight sedan chairs.

Due to the spread of the plague, Qin Chuan and Wen Suxin's wedding was simple.

There are not many members of the Wen family, because most of them went to the capital to settle in the capital with the old man Wen Zheng, and only Changfang Wencheng stayed in Fenzhou.

Wen Zheng's old man has already returned to Beijing, and if he doesn't go back, it is estimated that the official hat will have to be removed, Wen Cheng only brought a letter to him, and it is estimated that he has just arrived in the capital at this time.

The old man could not see his precious granddaughter married.

Wen Cheng did not have a concubine, he had a son and a daughter, the only daughter Wen Suxin was twenty-eight years old, and the only son Wen was only twelve years old.

In addition to their own family, the Wen family only invited relatives and friends in the city and a few neighbors to set up 30 tables for a banquet.

As soon as Qinchuan's welcoming team arrived, after some simple etiquette, Wen Suxin, who was wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab, sat in a sedan chair, and left Fenyang City in a lively manner in the sound of suona and firecrackers.

In addition to the brothers and sisters of the Wen family, there are also several close friends of Wen Cheng, more than a dozen scholars in the city, and a few people who specialize in strange and obscene skills.

There is even a group of blacksmiths, carpenters, bricklayers, and all sorts of craftsmen.

These craftsmen all pretended to be helpers invited by the Wen family, or drove mules and carriages, or carried dowries, followed the marrying procession out of the city, and then went in the direction of Jiaocheng in the northeast, intending to enter Luliang Mountain from Jiaocheng.

As soon as the team left the city, a cavalry suddenly came from the northeast, about two or three hundred people, and galloped wildly and stopped diagonally in front of the welcoming procession.

At the head of the city, some sharp-eyed people recognized that the cavalry was the guard of the Jin Palace, and the leader seemed to be the Tao steward of the Ninghua Palace.

Now there is a lot of excitement to watch.

Everyone in Fenyang City knew that King Ninghua had taken a fancy to Wen Suxin, and had previously sent a steward to propose to the Wen family, wanting to take Wen Suxin as a side concubine, but Wen Cheng pushed it back on the grounds that the little girl was less than twenty-eight.

Now, the Tao steward of the Ninghua Palace's Mansion suddenly stopped in front of the welcoming team with the guards of the King of Jin, and the fools could see what they wanted to do.

King Ninghua is going to rob his relatives.

The inquiries of the gentry in the city rushed to the city, waiting to see the excitement, and even many officials such as the governor of Fenzhou also came.

There is no custom of robbing relatives in Shanxi - >>

, Daming did not even allow the rule of snatching relatives, but this is only relative to ordinary people.

If it was the prince of the Ming Dynasty who robbed the relatives, he would not dare to stop the local officials with ten dog guts.

Steward Tao is indeed here to rob his relatives.

Two days ago, the news that Wen Cheng promised to marry Wen Suxin to Qin Chuan reached Taiyuan, and Zhu Minji, the king of Ninghua, was furious, and immediately asked for two hundred guards from the Jin Palace, plus the guards of the Ninghua Palace, there were enough three hundred people, led by Tao Steward, and rushed to Fenyang to rob relatives.

Steward Tao had eaten deflated in Mengjiazhuang and had already held a grudge against Qin Chuan, so he rushed day and night to meet the relatives and leave the city.

After the three hundred palace guards blocked the road ahead, Steward Tao led the palace guards to force towards the welcoming procession.

Qin Chuan, who was wearing a big red flower on his chest, was at the front of the team, and when he saw a cavalry suddenly slanting out and stopping behind him, he couldn't help frowning.

"The big boss, that person is the steward of Ninghua Palace, surnamed Tao, when you went to kill Jiannu outside the Saiwai, this guy went to Mengjiazhuang and wanted to take Miss Wen back to Ninghua Palace."

A red-clothed attendant who had seen Steward Tao walked up to Qin Chuan and whispered.

"Oh."

Qin Chuan suddenly realized, and laughed inexplicably.

King Ninghua saw the above Su Xin's matter, and he knew it.

It seems that this prince is more daring than him, and he wants to snatch his woman from him.

"The big boss, the third boss has arrived this morning, just five miles away to the north, at this time should have found the guards of the Ninghua Palace, and rushed over, do we want to do this group of people who are not long-eyed?"

"Nope." Qin Chuan shook his head.

"Today is my big day, don't see the red...... No, don't kill people, it's never too late to kill after today. ”

"Hey, hey, I understand, I'll tell the third master in a while, let him do it after tonight."

"Hmm...... That's fine. ”

When Qin Chuan was muttering to his subordinates, Steward Tao had already led the palace guards to fifty steps away.

"You're Qin Chuan, right?" Steward Tao asked with his chin raised and squinted his eyes.

Qin Chuan smiled: "That's right, I am Qin Chuan, and I am King Ninghua's dog under my feet?" ”

"I am ......"

Steward Tao subconsciously opened his mouth to respond, but reacted in an instant, and suddenly became angry.

"Humph! Sharp teeth and sharp mouth. ”

"The surname is Qin, I came this time to welcome Miss Wen back to the palace, I advise you to put down the sedan chair obediently, I can spare you from dying, otherwise...... Hum! ”

Steward Tao sneered grimly.

Qin Chuan didn't respond, just looked behind him.

A puff of dust and smoke appeared in the distance, rushing towards them.

"Didn't you hear me? Put the sedan chair down obediently, otherwise ......"

Before Steward Tao finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly turned back and looked back.

"Ahem."

Qin Chuan finally spoke, and said with a smile: "Steward Tao is right, today is my happy day, it is not appropriate to kill, but after today, it may not be necessary." ”

Steward Tao didn't respond, only fixed on the cavalry that was getting closer and closer.

He saw clearly, there were five or six hundred people.

"You wait for me, let's go!"

Steward Tao's face turned pale, and he threw down a cruel word and ran away.

He brought the three hundred palace guards and ran away in a hurry, and escaped in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go."

Qin Chuan waved his hand, and then continued to march in the direction of Lou Fu with the welcoming team.

When Luo Daniu led the five hundred Guan Emperor troops to pass by Qin Chuan, he looked at the big red flower on his chest and smirked.

"Ahem, I'll do it again after a while, remember to go back to Fenyang City to get food."

"Okay."

Luo Da Niu led the five hundred Guan Emperor troops to chase those palace guards.

Those guards had just been on the road for a day and a night, and they were already sleepy and tired, and they could not outrun them.

It was only half an hour before the three hundred palace guards caught up.

But Luo Da Niu didn't seem to intend to kill them, and only chased after them, laughing while driving away the gradually scattered palace guards.

Many officials in Fenyang City have changed color, and the one surnamed Qin still dares to kill the palace guards?

This is indeed the case.

After being closely watched by Emperor Guan's army, the three hundred palace guards couldn't run away at all.

Just after midnight, the camp of the palace guards suffered a night attack, and the Tao steward was slashed to death in the night attack, and most of the 300 guards were killed and wounded, and less than 100 people were able to escape.

The next day, Luo Daniu returned to Fenyang City, and then gathered outside the north gate and did not leave.

At this time, Wen Cheng mobilized the gentry in the city to donate grain, saying that the soldiers and horses of the guerrilla general Qin Chuan were willing to help the squires in Fenyang City, and were even willing to lead the victims elsewhere.

As long as the grain is sent to Qin Chuan's soldiers and horses outside the door, they will take the hungry people away.

They didn't say how much food they wanted, so the more the better.

If there is no food, they will leave on their own, and the hungry people outside Fenyang will gather more and more, for fear that some moths will be poked out at that time.

The squires in the city were stunned, Wen Cheng was helping the surnamed Qin to extort food.
