Chapter Thirty-Four: The Unlucky King

The three of them stopped talking, and turned around to do something else with a tacit understanding. The next day, Yaoshan County was fully recruited, and for a while, the victims who could not eat enough came to sign up, and in just one day, 3,000 soldiers were recruited. The movement of Yaoshan City aroused the idea of Baoding Mansion, and three days later, the governor of Zhili directly sent an official letter to Ren Qiu asking him to report on his work. Ren Qiu took the official letter and went to Zhaoqian to discuss it, and Xu Yuan happened to be there. He said with a bitter face: "You see, Baoding feels that something is wrong with us, so let me go to Baoding to report on what to do." Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Of course you can't go, you can't go left and right, maybe you will have something." ”

But what is the best way to deal with the past at this moment, the two of them frowned at each other, and no one could say why. Zhao Qian poked his head out of the pile of case files and smiled at the two: "This is not a problem, General Ren, let me ask you, where is this Yaoshan City closest?" Ren Qiu said: "Longping, Neiqiu is very close." Zhao Qian smiled and said nothing, Xu Yuan patted his head: "Isn't there a plague in Neiqiu, just tell him that you are also having a fever and can't go out for the time being, don't go out these days, avoid the eyeliner in the city, isn't it okay." After listening to what he said, Ren Qiu sat down on the ground and began to ponder. Xu Yuan also sat on the ground, and he felt that his statement was foolproof.

"General Xu, if a new pawn goes into battle to kill the enemy, how long will it take?" Xu Yuan also made a mistake now, now the military camp has expanded violently, and most of them are still homeless, so far let alone let them fight, as long as they are full and don't run away in the middle of the night. "At least three months." Ren Qiu slapped his thigh: "Wait for three months to reach the time of the wheat harvest, I'm afraid that Baoding Mansion will not let me call me sick until that time, three days, do you know how many soldiers are in the two cities now?" Xu Yuan said: "Twenty-one thousand, but they are not like those soldiers on weekdays, the homeless people are basically not good stubble, it will take ......some time to clean them up" Ren Qiu sighed, stood up and waved his hand: "Actually, I know that when I was not far away from Mongolia, I was in charge of recruit training in the forbidden military camp, and I had no intention of making it difficult for you. ”

is not only a deception, but not only Ren Qiu himself can complete the lie. Xu Yuan also rolled his eyes: "You see that I took the recruits out and some people went back to Neiqiu to train in iron and forge weapons, and when you saw it, you could explain it to the above, but you only said that you were greedy for money, and you didn't recruit many soldiers, according to the current atmosphere of officialdom, as long as you stuff some money, they can turn a blind eye." ”

The words are true, but Ren Qiu is still worried: "Where do I have the money to give them, and the court's Yulu has been in arrears for several months, where can I go to find money." Xu Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "The general is extremely incorruptible, so you don't have to worry about these little things, don't worry, I will definitely transport the silver taels to you before you leave tomorrow." Ren Qiu understood that he had beaten the idea of those merchants, and he had never disdained to do this kind of thing, but he couldn't care about anything in an urgent situation, but he still instructed: "Those merchants who don't rely on money to cheat people on weekdays, let them go this time, don't hurt people's lives." ”

"General, rest assured, I, Xu Yuan, am not a person who is not light or heavy, if it is a person who has committed a heinous crime, but let him get away with it, I am afraid that God will not give up." After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he saluted and walked out of the room, and when it was time to count the soldiers, an image of a fat head and big ears suddenly appeared in his heart. "Is there any Wangjiazhuang? Bring your saber and follow me. "Brought a few soldiers from Wangjiazhuang, and brought more than a dozen very strong soldiers, while it was not dark, Xu Yuan went out of the city, on the way, those soldiers told Xu Yuan, looking for the king outside may not be to rest at home, there is a widow Hu in the village and Wang Yuanwai has always been good friends, and the food and clothing on weekdays are also provided by the king outside, if it were not for the opposition of the old people in the family, he would have married the widow Hu into the family as a concubine.

This Wangjiazhuang is not a big village, but the Wang's house can be seen from a distance outside the village. Xu Yuan thought silently in his heart, I know that you are rich and noble, you don't know how to collect it, disaster is coming. He asked the soldier, "Besides this king, how is he doing in your village on weekdays?" The soldier said: "The general doesn't know, the whole village is basically owned by Wang Yuanwai's family, and most of the village is his tenants, he can bully as much as he wants on weekdays, and no one dares to do anything, and the people in the village have long hated him." Xu Yuan nodded: "The trend of the world, there are ups and downs." We will go into the village again when it is dark tonight, and when we wait at the door of Widow Hu, if the king has not yet come, we will go to his house. ”

At night, when the moon was shining, the group slipped all the way from the shadows of the wall with their backs to the moonlight to the vicinity of Widow Hu's house, only to see two red lanterns lit at the door of Widow Hu's house, just like the New Year, but the door was closed. Xu Yuan waited quietly in the dark, and when he was in the dark, a drunken figure appeared from a distance, only to see him come to the widow's door step by step, and knock on the door knocker hard: "Xue'er!" Are you there? I'm coming, open the door for me! After calling for a while but no one paid attention to him, the fat man was a little annoyed, "Don't let me see other men in your room!" I'll kill him! After kicking the door for a while, a woman came out and opened the door, "What are you yelling about?" I'm afraid the neighbors won't know that you've spent the night with me? ”

The fat man couldn't wait to burrow into the courtyard, and there were a few lewd laughs from inside. "You also said that there was no one in your house, you were all wet!" Xu Yuan looked at the soldiers, everyone listened to the ridicule inside, and their two eyes only looked at Xu Yuan. "Go ahead, climb over that wall, make a little quieter, and catch the man first." The soldiers all rolled into the courtyard, and after a while, someone came to open the door for Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan entered, and saw a man and a woman naked and thrown on the ground. "Wang Xiaoer, you dare to come to me to spread wild, your whole family is left with you and your grandmother starving to death, right? Why, you don't even care about her life or death? Still thinking about going against me, you have a few lives to die for. Wang Yuanwai scolded the soldiers of Wangjiazhuang, very arrogant, Xu Yuan pushed aside the crowd and came to him. Wang Yuanwai really doesn't have a good memory, not long after we separated, did you forget me? ”
