There is an official document issued by the Huguang government, and Geng Hao and Lei can change horses at the post station; In this way, going to Huguang to Beijing is just a trivial matter of a few days......

Geng Hao returned to Jingshi's house, didn't care about resting, and immediately prepared to write a letter of retirement! He thought it all out. He came to the study, polished the ink, and began to write, describing in detail the reasons for divorce from his wife, Wu: first, he failed to have children, and second, he did not respect his in-laws (he did not live together).

At this time, he saw his wife Wu suddenly come in.

"Brother Geng!" Wu's face was full of smiles, and he called out briskly. She held her skirt in both hands, ran in happily, wrapped her arms around Geng Hao, and rubbed her face against him. Seeing his wife stupid like this, Geng Hao couldn't help but look up and sigh.

With Wu's mind, she couldn't tell the difference between true feelings and fake intentions at all, and only knew that Geng Hao was good to her. So as long as Geng Hao didn't beat and scolded her, even if he was writing a letter of resignation, he wouldn't make her sad.

Geng Hao treated her really well before, many slaves and maids in this house were sent by Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, so many people stared, did Geng Hao dare to treat Wu Gao's daughter badly?

At this moment, the maid who took care of the Wu family whispered: "Madame asks you every day when you will go home, but I miss you." ”

Sure enough, Wu Shi made an action of wiping his tears, but immediately pestered Geng Hao with a smile, "Brother Geng is stubborn with me." Geng Hao's brows furrowed, and he suddenly pushed Wu away, turned his head to the maid at the door and said, "Go and spread my intentions, get the carriage ready." Madame is going back to the Wu family. ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, and curtsied her knees: "Yes." ”

Wu stood there with a blank face, looking at Geng Hao very aggrieved. She is not ugly, but she has fine skin and tender flesh, her face is white, and her facial features are also very good, but her expression is silly at first glance.

Geng Hao found a purse in the study, put the book in the purse, and then hung it around Wu's neck. When she returned to Wu's house, the people over there would naturally understand after reading the letter of resignation hanging in front of her neck.

If Geng Hao had eaten the leopard's gall before, he would not have dared to humiliate the Wu family like this; But now, the situation is completely different!

It didn't take long for Geng Hao to find some Wu clothes, put them in a baggage, and stuffed the baggage into the carriage as luggage. Then he ordered the grooms and servants to send Wu straight back to the Wu family.

Wu cried in the carriage, admitting her mistake while crying, saying that she should be obedient. She didn't understand the complicated situation at all, so she didn't want her because she made her husband angry.

Geng Hao saw the situation in front of him, Wu's face was full of tears and his eyes were full of tears in the carriage, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly avoided it...... Geng Hao thought that he had never treated the Wu family sincerely, but now he found that he still had some indescribable feelings for the Wu family, perhaps just because they had been together for a long time.

However, this compassion cannot change Geng Hao's decision.

The Wu family has already lost power, and the Marquis of Jiangyin in the near future may not be much better than their Geng family's situation; And the Wu family is a fool, Geng Hao didn't take the opportunity to take a break and take a break, what else did he do?

Geng Hao had mixed feelings in his heart. He looked at the carriage in the distance and said in his heart: I can't be blamed for this, the world is like this; What the Mu family did back then was as ruthless as it was done?

Mu Sheng's father and daughter taught him what to do! When Geng Hao thought of this, his sadness gradually disappeared, and his heart was filled with coldness.

Geng Hao turned around and was about to enter the corner door. Then he suddenly saw a familiar face.

A carriage had just passed down the street in front of the door, and the curtain was raised to reveal the face of a woman, and it flashed by...... Geng Hao immediately thought of Geng Shi, the wife of King Jingjiang.

He turned back in haste, and saw two carriages in the street, and the carriage in which the woman was riding was in front, but the curtain was lowered. He looked around the street for a while, and quickly thought: I rode a horse with Lei Chu and walked the post road, and it took a short time to get from Changsha Mansion to Jingshi, and it was impossible for Mrs. Geng to get to Jingshi so quickly.

Geng Hao suddenly sighed in frustration.

He was about to return home, but he saw that the two carriages had stopped on the side of the street. Geng Hao was curious, he stopped his steps and waited to see if the woman would show up; Just now he vaguely felt that the woman was somewhat similar to Mrs. Geng, but he couldn't see it clearly at all.

The carriage in which the woman was sitting did not move, but the curtain of the carriage behind it was lifted. Geng Hao was very surprised to find that Lei Fill's yellow-skinned face was there! Lei Wei stretched out his hand and beckoned to Geng Hao; This was repeated three times, and then the curtain was lowered.

Geng Hao was puzzled, and immediately walked up. He clasped his fists behind the carriage and said, "Since Officer Lei Ke is here, why don't you sit in the cold house?" ”

Lei Chong's voice said, "Please General Geng get in the car." ”

Geng Hao hesitated for a moment, then lifted the curtain behind the car and walked up. This Lei Fill is an acquaintance and an official of the imperial court; Geng Hao didn't think there was anything to be afraid of, just strange.

As soon as he stepped into the carriage, Geng Hao was stunned again, only to see a high-grade official in a red robe sitting inside!

The official was broad and fat, with a square face, large ears, white skin and red complexion, and a very good complexion. exudes a kind of official air that is calm and stable.

The official first said calmly: "This official is too often Siqing Yuan Hui." General Geng, I am glad to meet you. ”

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be a ......" Geng Hao hurriedly bowed his hand, wanting to salute, but he couldn't stand up in this carriage.

Yuan Jue said: "No need to be polite. He said and glanced at Lei Fill. Lei Chong stretched out his hand and slapped the wooden board of the carriage, and the groom drove the car away.

Yuan Jue smiled: "I'm afraid that General Geng will laugh." I often advise a relative of this official who has been widowed for several years and has never had children, and I often persuade her to remarry; She is very picky, and she has never met someone she likes, so she didn't let me worry less. I sent her back to my house today, and I happened to pass by here, so that the official had the opportunity to meet General Geng. ”

"Oh......" Geng Hao immediately remembered the beautiful woman he had just glanced at.

Lei filled in the side and said: "General Geng's righteous deeds in Guangxi, Lord Yuan appreciates it very much. ”

Geng Hao's face was hot, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Lei Keguan has won the award, and it is really a blessing for the general to be able to meet someone like Lord Yuan in the end!" ”

Yuan Hui waved his hand, looking very easy-going, and asked, "I heard that General Geng was in Changsha Mansion and had seen the British Duke Zhang Fu?" ”

Geng Hao said: "Back to Lord Yuan's words, yes." ”

Yuan Heng pondered for a moment and said, "General Geng may not know Zhang Fu very well, but when this official was still an official in the Yanwang Mansion, he knew Zhang Fu.

This kind of person who has been fighting all the time lives a life of licking blood from the knife all day long, only thinking about how to win; Now that he is a prince of the country, he has no credibility at all, and it is said that he is not tired of deceit! The official has known him for so many years, so he can tell you that the promise of the British prince and the fart are completely the same thing. ”

Geng Hao's eyes widened suddenly, not knowing how to respond. Guogong is a very awe-inspiring big man to him, but Yuan Heng dares to scold so unscrupulously? From the conversation, Geng Hao also felt that Yuan Hui was not an ordinary person!

Yuan Jue asked again: "Does General Geng know about Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Cheng?" ”

Geng Hao cautiously replied: "The last general has heard a little. ”

"He was deceived by Zhang Fu, do you know?" Yuan Jue asked again.

Geng Hao shook his head.

Yuan Hui patiently explained to Geng Hao, how Zhang Fu promised Gu Cheng, swore to speak for Gu Cheng, and deceived the seriously ill Gu Cheng to come forward to stabilize the army's heart; then stabbed Gu Cheng in the back and falsely accused Gu Cheng of colluding with the rebels...... These things are really not known to ordinary people, and Geng Hao is also the first time to hear the ins and outs of them.

After talking about the past, Yuan Hui asked again: "Zhang Fu saw General Geng, what did he ask you to do?" ”

Geng Hao looked embarrassed, and did not say a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Yuan Heng's eyes showed a look of sudden realization. He immediately said kindly: "This official knows that General Geng is afraid of Zhang Fu. But that's why you have to find a big backer quickly. ”

"What does Lord Yuan mean?" Geng Hao frowned.

Yuan Hui didn't answer, but just sneered and said, "What did Zhang Fu promise General Geng?" There's nothing hard to say about that! ”

Geng Hao thought for a while, let out a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis of Changxing." ”

"Hehe...... Yuan Hui actually laughed with a mocking expression, and Lei Chong beside him shook his head while laughing.

This made Geng Hao even more embarrassed, and for a while he felt like a fool, and everything he was thinking could be seen clearly. Geng Hao not only felt embarrassed, but also gradually became a little angry.

Geng Hao frowned and said: "What Lord Yuan means is that if the last general wants to restore the ancestral title, it is impossible to do it?" ”

Lei Wei was just about to speak, but Yuan Hui suddenly raised his hand to stop him. Then Yuan Hui said solemnly: "Of course it can be done, our Ming Dynasty's titles can be hereditary!" But how can Zhang Fu help with this kind of thing? His promise was also ridiculous. ”

"Oh?" Geng Hao was confused.

Yuan Heng said in a deep voice: "Only the saint can decide on the matter of knighthood, but everyone in the officialdom understands it!" General Geng doesn't understand? Only the confidant Wenchen around the saint can play some role, and even the official does not dare to fully guarantee what he can do as a general? ”

Geng Hao hurriedly bowed and said: "The last general is not more than anything, and there is not much experience, please teach Lord Yuan." ”

Yuan Heng sighed and asked, "If Zhang Fu breaks his promise afterwards, what does General Geng want?" ”

Geng Hao groaned.

Yuan Hui asked again: "Do you believe that Zhang Fu will sincerely help you, why?" If he really wants to win you over and cultivate you, the best way is to marry and strengthen the relationship first, and now it's just empty words! ”

After being reminded by Yuan Hui, Geng Hao also felt that Zhang Fu was indeed unreliable, and he didn't seem to have even a little sincerity! Geng Hao remembered Hu Hu back then, and he also swore an oath, but he didn't recognize anyone when he turned his face.

At this time, Yuan Hui's voice said: "What did Zhang Fu ask General Geng to do?" You name it, let's help you refer to the details, don't be confused and be taken advantage of. ”
