Chapter 151 [The Lord of the Gu Family, the Minister of the Gu Family]
The people of the family may be useless, but they are definitely not incompetent.
Once you make up your mind, most of them move forward.
Lu Renshu decided to go to Miyun County overnight, he wanted to see Gu Tianya in the fastest time.
Whether it succeeds or not, there is no way back when you take this step.
β¦β¦
The so-called shipbreaker is to gamble everything, either to achieve the goal or to lose everything.
It takes a lot of courage!
From Fanyang City to Miyun County, it only takes two hours to ride a fast horse, but Lu Renshu is not rushing to Miyun alone because of the shipwreck.
The son of the Lu family, who was difficult to hold power in the family, directly took everyone in his own branch, including his wife and concubines, including toddlers, and more than 20 people took advantage of the darkness to leave the Lu family quietly.
By the time they arrived outside Fanyang City, the scribe had already been waiting early, and a full ten carts, plus more than two hundred domestic servants, all gathered into a convoy and headed for Miyun County overnight.
This is really a ruined move, and he directly brought all his family and property with him.
The chariot and the horse Xiao Xiao Xiao were not fast because they had to protect their property.
Lu Renshu's wives and concubines sat in the carriage, but his wife Xie chose to ride a horse, this woman and her husband rode together, suddenly looked back at Fan Yang with sadness, and said quietly: "The concubine has been married to the Lu family for five years, and I am really reluctant to ...... this side of the water and soil."
"If you don't leave, you will die, and under the nest, there will be no eggs."
"Husband, has it really come to this point?"
"Not yet, but in the future."
"Husband, the concubine thinks you're too cautious." Xie suddenly whispered.
Lu Renshu glanced at his wife and asked in a deep voice, "Why does Madame have this idea?" β
The Xie family is from a beautiful background, and there is a lot of conditioning between the words, and he slowly analyzed: "Fanyang Lu's family ranks among the five surnames and seven wangs, and now it is known as the first power lord, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over Hebei, so there are thousands of officials, and his influence is wide, and he can destabilize the entire north, as long as the Lu family does not cause a monstrous disaster, even the Tang royal family will not be ruthless." After all, the price of moving a gate valve is too great, so the concubine thinks that the Lu family will not fall ......"
Lu Renshu let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Yes, the Lu family is said to be unable to fall." Hundreds of years of inheritance, today's behemoth. As long as it doesn't cause a monstrous disaster, no one wants to destroy a gate valve, but the Lu family just caused a catastrophe. β
His wife's face was full of curiosity, and she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Can the husband tell the concubine, who did we provoke?" β
Lu Renshu looked up at the sky, and only after a long time did he gently spit out a sentence, and said slowly: "Your childhood best friend, Li Xiuning......"
Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Xiuning is in Hebei, and the Lu family has always been at odds with it, but Xiuning has never shown anything, and even forbears it many times for the stability of Hebei." She is a woman with a heart like the sea, and she is said to not do anything to the Lu family. β
Lu Renshu shook his head with a wry smile, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "It was before, and now it is now, this time she will definitely be furious, because the Lu clan colluded with Master Liang to kill her." β
said a slight pause, and then said: "If it is only designed for her, Li Xiuning will only regard it as a plan between camps." But she is now pregnant with a child, which means that if Lu's plan succeeds, her child will also be killed. Madame, you are also a woman, you should know what is the most difficult thing for a woman to tolerate......"
Xie's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously blurted out: "The Lu family actually wants to kill Xiuning? β
Lu Renshu nodded heavily, and said in a difficult tone: "You understand now, we must leave the Lu family." β
Xie Shi's face was pale, his eyes looked in the direction of Miyun, and after a long time passed, he hesitated: "Husband, did you choose to go to Miyun County, did you let the concubine go to intercede with Xiuning?" β
"No, it's Gu Tianya that I'm going to see."
β¦β¦
If you ride a fast horse, you can reach Miyun County in two hours, but it takes a whole night for the convoy to travel.
In the early morning of the next day, I finally arrived in Miyun County, and then I hurried for half an hour before arriving at the Gujia Village Station.
And the scene in front of him first puzzled everyone in the Lu family.
But before seeing the post station at this time, there were hundreds of soldiers kneeling, all shirtless, with thorny thorns tied on their backs, and they knelt on the ground on their knees, with a deep guilt on their faces.
The leader was a strong man with more thorns on his back than others, and those thorns were stuck in the flesh, and blood was constantly dripping down.
"What's going on?" Xie Shi's heart was beating in shock.
Lu Renshu hesitated slightly, and subconsciously said: "This seems to be a move to bear the guilt, or a punishment in the army of the Women's Army, in short, no matter what, we must not get involved." Madame, don't make a sound, let's watch from the sidelines. β
The Xie family was born in the Jiangnan clan, not the kind of woman who made a fuss, and when she heard this, she nodded hurriedly and cautiously rode her horse back.
Lu Renshu also rode his horse back, and then turned over and dismounted with his wife, and the husband and wife stood far away on the side of the road, looking at the scene in front of them with a sigh of relief.
It was also at this time that there was a faint voice from the village behind the post station.
But listening to a man's words with the meaning of advice, it seemed to be saying goodbye to his relatives at home, and said warmly: "Zhaoning, you must remember that you can't do strenuous activities on weekdays, but you can't lie in bed and be lazy, you must go to the river every day to take a walk, and you are not allowed to be angry, you are not allowed to get angry, otherwise you will have fetal gas, and it will be too late if you want to regret it, Chang'e, you are responsible for supervising your sister-in-law, Xiaoqing Xiaorou, you are also responsible for supervising ......"
I heard a few women chirping, as if they were answering the man's advice.
The man said: "The summer grain is being harvested in Wuyang County, and I always feel at ease with those displaced people, so I may have to stay for a while, and I may not go home to visit my relatives after seven days...... Zhaoning, don't pull your face, okay, we talked about this last night. β
I heard a woman snort angrily: "You go, you go." It's best not to come back for half a year, and it's best not to even catch up when the child is born. β
The man smiled bitterly and seemed to begin to soothe himself.
β¦β¦
Lu Renshu and his wife glanced at each other, and both husband and wife saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and Lu Renshu said: "The man who spoke must be Gu Tianya." β
Xie Shi said softly: "I heard that woman's voice like Xiuning. β
The husband and wife looked up together, staring at the road leading to the village behind the post station, and soon, seven or eight people appeared from the other side of the road.
It is Gu Tianya's family.
But he said that Gu Tianya was holding the reins of the mount in his hand, and he was persuading Zhao Ning and the others not to send him anymore, and suddenly his eyes swept over the side of the post station, and his face suddenly showed a look of astonishment, and he blurted out: "Yan Jiu? What do you mean by that? β
At this moment, the group of kneeling soldiers bowed down and bowed down together, and said loudly: "Master of the family, please punish." β
But seeing that Yan Jiu's face was full of guilt, he suddenly pulled out a thorn from his back, he raised the thorn high above his head, and said with a guilty face: "Family master, Yan Jiu is guilty......
Gu Tianya took a deep breath, Huo Ran turned his head to look at Zhao Ning, and asked in a deep voice, "This is your order?" β
Zhao Ning's face was calm, and he slowly shook his head and said, "I know about this, but this is not what I meant. β
"How long have they been on their knees?"
"Three days ago, the night that Tubol and Sun Mao were killed."
"No, I asked them to go to the border of Yunzhou that night to hang the corpse......"
"They didn't go, they were stopped by Ma Sanbao, Ma Sanbao personally took people to Yunzhou, and ordered them to stay here and kneel and wait for you to punish them."
"So they knelt for three days and three nights?"
"That's right, three days and three nights."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's not easy for you to go home, I want you to accompany me more......"
Gu Tianya's face gradually turned blue, and he yelled at Zhao Ning for the first time, and said angrily: "Just to accompany you more, Yan Jiu, you didn't tell me after they knelt for three days and three nights?" β
Zhao Ning's face was calm, as if he didn't blame himself at all, but said lightly: "I didn't make them kneel, it was Ma Sanbao who made them kneel." So you can't blame me for this, because I can't stop it. β
Gu Tianya seemed to be even more furious, and asked sharply: "Ma Sanbao is your subordinate, you actually said that you can't stop him?" β
"Wrong, Ma Sanbao is no longer under my command."
Zhao Ning's face was still calm, obviously he still didn't blame himself, and said lightly: "Since Ma Sanbao cut his wrists with you to dissolve his blood, he is no longer the general of the Women's Army, but the first retainer of the Gu family." β
Zhao Ning paused when he said this, looked at Gu Tianya without dodging, and said with a solemn face: "Retainers, with the lord first, retainers, can handle family affairs." When he feels that someone has offended the authority of you, the head of the Gu family, he can make any decision to protect the interests of the Gu family, and I, as the wife of the Gu family, have no power to stop him. The only thing I can manage is the back house......"
Gu Tianya stood stunned on the spot, and only after a long time did he turn to look at Yan Jiu and the others, he saw that Yan Jiu was pierced by thorns all over his body, and couldn't help but step forward to help.
How do you know that Zhao Ning suddenly opened his voice, as if reminding: "If you just pull him up like this, then he has only one way to die, Ma Sanbao will beat him to death, even if his father comes, he can't stop it." Because it is the power of the retainers to manage the family, even the emperor cannot meddle in other people's family affairs. β
Gu Tianya retracted his feet and didn't dare to step forward to help Yan Jiu, but he seemed to be very puzzled, and asked with an angry face, "What mistake did they make?" β
Zhao Ning looked at Yan Jiu and the others, and said with a solemn face: "On the night when they killed Tubol and Sun Mao three days ago, they disrespected you, the head of the family, because of my orders. But they forgot one thing, they are no longer soldiers of the Women's Army, they are the private soldiers of the Gu family......"
Gu Tianya seemed to tremble with anger, and shouted angrily: "It was obviously your reason that night, so they wanted to fight Liang Guo." β
Zhao Ning sighed, stepped forward and hugged Gu Tianya's arm, and explained softly: "My handsome order was issued to the soldiers of the Women's Army, but they are no longer the soldiers of the Women's Army. Remember, this is an untouchable rule, and they, breaking the rules. β
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Jiu and the others, and said, "As a member of the Gu family, they actually disrespect you, the head of the family, and Ma Sanbao didn't beat them to death, which is already a great tolerance." β
Gu Tianya took a deep breath and said in a difficult tone: "This is the way of the high-ranking valve. β
"No, that's the rule for keeping things in the house."
Lu Renshu stood on the side of the road and suddenly spoke, explaining such a sentence on behalf of Zhaoning, and then said: "The retainer is the minister of the head of the family, since ancient times, the lord humiliated the minister to death, and this minister originally referred to the retainer. β
