Volume 4: Wolf Smoke in Shu 49: The master and servant each died and met the descendants of the Zhang family
Xu Mad arched his hand and said: "The lord is serious, and he plans with determination as the main thing, and everything must be based on the overall situation!" ”
Yun Xing was afraid that people like Xu Mad and Shangguan Ziyu would have a heart, so he explained that Shangguan Ziyu was good at Yang Dong and disdainful and conspiracy, although he was a famous man in the world, but he regarded himself very high and could not enter the court to worship the marquis, which was a big pity, and Yun Xingyan was afraid that Xu Mad was also such a person, although he was arrogant and uninhibited, but he was also easy to be influenced by the style of a scholar and thus influenced his thinking, Yun Xingyan saw him express his position at this time, so he held his hand and said: "Mr. Xu, then everything on the front line will be entrusted to you!" ”
After saying that, Yun Xingyan ordered people to withdraw the food, and wrote two letters with a pen, one ordered it to be handed over to Chen Hengzhi, and the other was a letter that handed over the affairs to Xu Man's carte blanche to do, even if Yun Qiancheng saw it, it would not be too difficult for him, after doing all this, Yun Xingyan and Xu Mad exited the door, and the two of them were tired until the middle of the night, so they each found a room to sleep......
On the second day, at the time of Chen, Xu Madness ordered people to put forward all the grain and grass early in the morning, and led the troops to the front line, as for the remaining batch of grain, they didn't bother to wait, first, they could leave evidence of the crime of touching the vines and melons to punish the officials in charge of grain and grass, and secondly, they could also deter some people in the shadows, because so far they have not detected the cause of Gou He's death......
Besides, Yun Xingyan, at this time, he woke up early in the morning and returned to Zhang Jie's house, took out a pen and paper and began to think about how to write the report handed over to the imperial court, after all, he got nothing this time, so he racked his brains a little, at this time Zhang Jie on the bed woke up slowly, covered his head and said: "Where am I......"
"Are you awake?"
Yun Xingyan turned his head to look at her, and said: "This is my temporary residence, yesterday you were thrown out like garbage by your family, so I picked you up......" Yun Xingyan put away the pen and ink file and turned his head to look at Zhang Jie, only to see that she had a circle of gauze wrapped around her forehead, her face was a little unsightly, she did not cry as she imagined, but calmed down a lot, which caused Yun Xingyan to be interested in this woman, and then there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth......
"What are you laughing at?!"
Zhang Jie looked at Yun Xingyan in confusion, Yun Xingyan said: "It's nothing, it's just that you are calmer than you imagined, so you feel a little interesting......" Yun Xingyan said, but saw Zhang Jie's eyebrows full of sadness and loneliness, and sneered: "I'm not even afraid of death, am I afraid that you won't succeed?" ”
Zhang Jie said that, she lifted the quilt and casually draped the red clothes hanging on the side of the bed, sat on the stool opposite Yun Xingyan, and said, "The snacks on the table ...... Can I eat it? ”
"Of course!"
Yun Xingyan pushed the tea cake in front of her, and she began to eat regardless of the lady's image, and then picked up the tea bowl and poured it a few times, and then said, "The medicine on the clothes you helped me take off?" Yun Xingyan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's a doctor......
"Oh!"
She drank another glass of water and said, "Coward, I didn't mean to put you responsible...... But then again, who are you? Look at the way you looked in the Mi family before, as if you were looking for something...... "Zhang Jie is not stupid, she can't find death now, it's better to know more about something meaningful, and Yun Xingyan also admired her indifference and calmness, so he said: "I'm just a guy who has a grudge against the Mi family and wants to find them unlucky, but I'm unlucky, and I went twice to no avail...... How are you resting, I'll take you home? ”
Hearing the word home, Zhang Jie couldn't help but think of her father, and sighed: "Then thank you!" ”
So Zhang Jie simply freshened up, Yun Xingyan found a set of ordinary women's clothes for her to change, and Yun Xingyan withdrew from the door after putting down the clothes, holding the white rainbow sword in both hands and leaning on the fence on the side and waiting quietly, after a while, the door creaked open, only to see a woman in a green Luo skirt walked out, her hair was casually draped behind her back, and the ends were tied with ropes. But there was still a sad look on his face...... together
The two walked on the street like this, and came to the courtyard of the Zhang family, but they saw that the outside was full of white cloth strips, and a big wreath was placed at the gate...... Hell ......"
"Hell, you're big! Rifle, it's me, your young lady! ”
Zhang Jie stepped forward to explain, but she scared people into running around, and after a while, she alarmed Zhang Butcher, who walked out surrounded by everyone and said, "My daughter is back?" Where is she? ”
At this time, Zhang Jie said: "Dad, it's me, I'm back!" ”
"Girl, you...... You're not ......."
Zhang Butcher is not very old, only in his forties, but there are many gray hairs on his head for no reason, presumably he was worried about Zhang Jie's death all night, and although the Zhang family is well-off, but Zhang Butcher only has this only daughter, there is a maid and two servants in the family, and an old lady, they thought that their daughter could marry into the Mi family and soar from now on, but they never thought that it would be such an ending, at this time Zhang Jie said with tears in her eyes: "Dad, you believe in your daughter, your daughter has definitely not done that kind of shameful thing...... It's the second young master of the Mi family, and he wanted to do something bad and was rejected by me, and then he was broken by this son, so he held a grudge......"
"My son suffered...... It's good to come back......"
Zhang Butcher sighed, looked at Yun Xingyan, and said, "Who is this son?" ”
Yun Xingyan arched his hand and said: "It's just a small errand boy who inadvertently rescued Miss Zhang......
So a few people entered the house, sat down, Zhang Jie told her parents about yesterday's events one by one, Zhang Butcher was so angry that he slapped the table and slammed the bench, and scolded: "I didn't expect their Mi family to be so bad, although my Zhang family is so down, but I can't tolerate them to be so bullied!" I will take a letter of resignation and ask the governor of Qianzhou to be the master of our family! His Mi family has done such a careless thing to disregard people's lives, I don't believe that this huge country has no place to reason! ”
Zhang Butcher said that he went back to the house, and Yun Xingyan looked at Zhang Jie in surprise and asked, "Ling Zun, is this?" ”
Zhang Jie sighed and said: "I'm ashamed to say that our family was originally a scholarly family, and a few of the clan elders were also members of the court, but in a case of collecting arrears from the court five years ago, the patriarch's grandfather committed suicide because it was difficult to repay the silver of the household, and our Zhang family was inevitably raided in the end, but there is still a big number to make up for the arrears, so he took the severance pay given by the clan elders to come here to beg for a living, and he has been settled for more than four years......"
For some reason, Yun Xingyan only felt that this story was very familiar, and thought to himself...... Their family should not be the descendants of Zhang Taiwei, so it is really unfortunate, Zhang Taiwei's home was copied by himself, in order to curb the clan from borrowing money for the imperial court, so the high-spirited Yun Xingyan asked Emperor Wu to promulgate a new policy and national policy to recover the arrears of officials, that is, because of this incident, he began to have an estrangement from Emperor Wu, and also put himself on the blacklist of the scholars.
Yun Xingyan asked tentatively: "By the way, I heard that the Marquis Xuanping of the imperial court is here now, why don't you tell him what happened yesterday so that the Marquis of Xuanping can make decisions for you?" Sure enough, Yun Xingyan said only to see Zhang Jie say helplessly: "Don't mention it, it was the Marquis of Xuanping who forced the old patriarch to death, and the Zhang family was divided, although the Zhang family violated the court law and was raided and had nothing to say, but if we want to seek his help because of some difficulties, then why is the Zhang family's family style?" ”
At this time, Zhang Butcher walked out and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl?" Then Zhang Butcher looked at Yun Xingyan embarrassedly and said: "My daughter's lack of discipline made the guests laugh, by the way, I haven't asked for the name of my son...... yet."
Yun Xingyan was a little nerve-wracking at this time, he had been upright for 29 years, but it was the first time that he felt that his name was so difficult to pronounce, so he said nonsense: "My name is Jia Ming......"
