Chapter 3 Invitation (2)

"Brother Tang, don't be angry! Listen to me tell me the reason, although the current marshal said that on the surface it has been united with the rebel armies, but the leaders of the rebel armies are not working together, and there is no one to give orders in substance, although it claims to have hundreds of thousands of rebels, in fact it is a mass of scattered sand, if the army is raised from afar, it will be even more unable to unify the dispatch, and will be broken by the Yuan court iron cavalry at that time, what will be the situation at that time? Lu Shaobei was not in a hurry, but said such a thing.

The big man named Guorui snorted and asked Lu Shaobei: "Brother Lu, that's it, but this woman is the lord of the Yuan Court, how can she not be killed?" ”

"Brother Guorui, this county lord should have lived in the capital of the Yuan Court, and she was the favorite daughter of the Emperor of the Yuan Court. There must be a reason for her to come to Quanzhou this time, so it is unreasonable to kill her without understanding the reason. Lu Shaobei stroked his beard and smiled at this time, obviously knowing the reason.

"Hmmm! That makes sense, please keep talking! The man surnamed Tang said angrily when he heard this, but his eyes were full of doubt, and he needed to hear further explanations.

"That's the case, Quanzhou Mansion is divided into eight major businesses, which belong to different families, and they have been peaceful for nearly a hundred years, but since the arrival of the new commander of the Quanzhou Mansion garrison, Za Kecha, he began to support an inconspicuous small business, and suppressed the eight major businesses everywhere, and the officials of the City Department were the only ones who gave orders."

"And at present, there are already five merchants who have made a large amount of silver taels and put them into his camp, which has made Za Kecha stop suppressing, but our Lu clan, Xiao clan and Niu clan are unwilling to be in the company of traitors like him, because these three have been communicating with the rebel army for many years and providing food and salary for the rebel army, and at present, our three and the six merchants in the support area of Za Kecha have had friction in the business several times, this is the current situation!"

"If the business of the Lu family, the Zhao family and the Niu family declines, it will definitely affect part of the food and salary supply of the cities of the righteous army, and this county lord, if I guess correctly, she should be the person sent by the Yuan Emperor to solve the problem of Quanzhou's money bag." When Lu Shaobei said this, he couldn't help but smile again.

"Brother Lu! Your words are too shocking, how can this woman and the like deal with officialdom? The man surnamed Tang asked with some disbelief at this time.

The man named Guorui also looked at Lu Shaobei with a puzzled face, but he didn't say anything to ask.

"Do you know why this woman is loved by the current emperor of the Yuan court? Because she has a strong ability, she angrily denounced corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the court, and degraded more than a dozen scholars to the point of incompleteness, quite the charm of the ancestor Shi Tianze, and therefore was accepted as a righteous daughter by Shunzong, and she was only eight years old at that time, and it was the first time she went to the court to meet the emperor. When Lu Shaobei said this, he looked at the two of them with some amusement.

The man surnamed Tang and the man named Guorui couldn't help but gasp after hearing this.

The man surnamed Tang pointed to the woman in the corner in disbelief and said, "Then how is it possible to say that this woman can angrily reprimand hundreds of officials in the court at the age of eight?" This is really too bizarre, there is such a woman in the world? If this is the case, then she will not be able to spare her life, if there are a few more such men in the Yuan court, won't it be more difficult to recover the Han world? ”

The man named Guorui suddenly said at this time: "Mr. Lu, I understand! He slapped the table and smiled as he spoke, and his expression was very complacent.

"Brother Guorui, what do you understand?" The man surnamed Tang was stunned by what Guorui said, and couldn't help asking.

"Brother Tang, what Mr. Lu means is that the emperor sent this county lord to investigate the matter of Quanzhou, but the commander of Quanzhou Mansion inadvertently ransacked her and the accompanying guards, and happened to be rescued by us, if we let her go, she will definitely find the commander of Quanzhou afterwards to settle this account, so that the business situation in Quanzhou can be restored, so that the current predicament of the merchant will be solved, and the source of food and salary of the righteous army will not be a problem!"

"And we kill such a woman and it has no effect on the Yuan Court, at present, we can't attack the two provinces of Fuzhou and Zhejiang, and we can't control Quanzhou, even if we take Quanzhou, we can't afford to open up the world and trade today, the three major businesses are one of the three major sources of food and salary for our righteous army, and now our most important thing is to ensure the internal balance of the righteous army, and help the marshal unify the righteous army, this is what we have to do! Mr. Lu, do you think I'm right? Guo Rui said with a chuckle on his face, and his eyes showed a strong confidence and momentum as he spoke.

"Brother Guorui is very right, this is exactly what I think, I don't know what Brother Tang thinks?" Lu Shaobei was secretly shocked at this time, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect that after only a few years of hard work, that Guorui, who wields a sword and kills people at every turn, also has such a keen resourcefulness, I think it was his wife Ma Shi who poured a lot of ink into him, and this person will never succumb to ordinary people in the future." ”

The man surnamed Tang couldn't help but think for a moment after hearing this, and then said helplessly: "My Han people and Yuan people have no hatred, but this time when it comes to the food and salary of the righteous army, it seems that I can only listen to Brother Lu's words and let this county lord go!" ”

"It's just that how to let go of this woman, the commander is guilty of a capital crime, and he has been searching for the three of us in the whole city, and then he will jump over the wall and kill her, and then push her without knowing it, and she already knows that we are the Red Turban Army, if we let her go, she won't be suspicious! But how is this good? When the man surnamed Tang said this, he obviously agreed with Lu Shaobei's idea.

"That's easy to do! That's all we have to ...... How do you think you can get out of the city and let her go safely, and you are not afraid that she will be in danger? Lu Shaobei immediately came up with a good way.

"Mother! What's wrong with you? I was fine when I went out in the morning, so why are you like this? After Shang Yu ran into the house, he saw his mother Shang Mei lying motionless on the hospital bed, with some ups and downs in front of her chest and abdomen, but she was already unconscious, her face was extremely pale, and she was obviously dying.

"Mother! Are you talking? I am Xiao Yu, I sold those fruits for one or two or seven cents of silver, and I also used the copper plate you gave me to buy medicine. ......After Shang Yu squatted down, he looked at Shang Mei and couldn't cry.

At this moment, a pair of hands touched his shoulders, and a voice came from his ears: "Xiao Yu! Your mother was quite good in the morning, I wanted to come to your house to borrow some needlework from your mother after lighting the stove, and I didn't make a sound when I saw her shouting, and when I came in, I found her lying on the bed and dying, and she said in a very small voice that it seemed that some medicine had fallen into the water tank, and it would be like this if she couldn't eat it, and people were no longer good! Listen to your aunt, don't cry, and prepare for your mother's funeral! ”

Shang Yu wiped away his tears, then turned his head and said to the woman behind him: "Aunt Li, I want to ask you one thing, has Mr. Liu in the broken temple in the east of the village returned?" ”

This Aunt Li is a neighbor of Shang Yu's family, after Shang Mei's accident, she was so frightened that she hurriedly summoned the whole village to come here, but all the villagers had no way, although half an hour ago Li Xiu had sent Li Xiu to cut firewood to a town fifty miles away to ask for a doctor, but it was useless to see the situation, seeing that Shang Mei's family had more air in and less gas, people were obviously not good.

Finally waited for Shang Yu, the filial child, to come back, and everyone was ready to pool money for Shang Mei's funeral, but they didn't expect Shang Yu to have the leisure to ask about other things, and they couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Xiao Yu! You kid, your mother is like this, you still have the leisure to care about that madman! Did the madman come back from the mountains in the afternoon, or was he in the ruined temple on the eastern slope of the village, and he didn't know what he was doing? What is he doing at the moment, you ask? Aunt Li asked a little angrily.

Unexpectedly, Shang Yu immediately broke free of Aunt Li's hands on his shoulders, and ran out with his legs, shouting before going out: "Aunt Li, don't let people move my mother's body, I'll go back!" As he spoke, the man had already run out.

Aunt Li suddenly screamed: "You come back, how can there be a rebellious son like you, leave your mother alone, where are you going!" For a while, Aunt Li's face turned red with anger.

And the villagers in the outhouse also looked at each other blankly, staring at the back of Shang Yu running out of the door.

"It's a big rebellion! At this time, his mother's life was about to pass away in an instant, and he left his mother alone, but ran outside. Is Shang Yu, this kid crazy? The old man who had spoken to Shang Yu earlier muttered in disbelief, and shook his head with a sigh.
