Chapter 40: Murder with a knife
Yang Xiong called Han Xuan, pulled Han Xuan's thoughts back, and said to Han Xuan: "Miss Su is crying very sadly, son, go and comfort her." ”
Han Xuan came to Su Qiao'er and said to her, "Qiao'er, don't be too sad. I will definitely avenge Uncle Su and Uncle Su Zhong. It's just that the bandits are numerous, and after I recruit troops and horses, I will definitely go to break through the cottage and take the head of Naluoping to pay tribute to them. ”
Su Qiao'er said: "I don't have to do this, I think my Ah Weng and his parents have been dead for so long, and Qiao'er has not kept filial piety for them. ”
Han Xuancai remembered that in the ancients, after the death of their parents, their children had to keep filial piety for them for three years, during which they had to live at home and cut off entertainment and communication to show their grief. But Su Zhong and his wife only have one daughter, Su Qiaoer, and they had a son who unfortunately died early. The Su family's house was blocked by the government, and it seems that they can only go to the Qian Duoduo county order and ask for the house back.
Han Xuan took Dong Ping to find Qian Rui's house, Han Xuan thought that Qian Rui would close the door and not see him because of the previous incident, but he didn't expect the family to enter the door and welcome the two of them in.
I saw that the county magistrate was pruning his flowers and plants, and the county clerk was beside him. Han Xuan stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Lord County Order, there were many offensive words in the previous court. Hou Xuan led his troops to attack the bandits, and he was really defeated, and then he realized that the lord was far-sighted. Xuan felt ashamed of his lord, and he came to ask for sin! ”
Saying that, let Dong Ping present the apology, Qian Rui took it with a smile, and Dong Ping looked at him and snorted disdainfully. Qian Rui hurriedly snatched the gift and handed it to the family to take it down, shook his sleeves and glared at Dong Ping with his hands behind his back, and said to Han Xuan: "Hehe, it's good that you know your guilt." This official thinks that you are a young man, and he is not thoughtful, and he does not care about you. ”
Han Xuan hurriedly smiled and said, "What the adults have taught is that there are really a lot of adults. ”
The county Cheng looked at Han Xuan and said with a smile in his eyes: "Han Gongzi is here today, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as making amends!" ”
Hearing this, Han Xuan hurriedly saluted him and said, "Lord County Cheng is really as wise as a torch, and he can see the intention at a glance. I haven't consulted the name of the adult yet. ”
County Cheng Lang said with a smile: "The official's surname is Zhao Mingmu, and the character is simple. ”
Han Xuan smiled: "Zhao County Cheng, Qian County Order." There is a little sister named Su Qiaoer. It was the daughter of Na Su Zhong, and now her parents have passed away. I hope that she will return her house to her, so that she can keep her filial piety for her parents. ”
Who knew that Qian Rui's eyebrows curled, looked at Han Xuan and said, "Who is this woman, you said that she is the daughter of Su Zhong and the others, do you have proof?" But if you want this house, you can also do it, it depends on your sincerity, hehehe. After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and stretched out a hand to signal to Han Xuan.
Han Xuan saw that he first stretched out his hand to ask for money, and then raised five fingers and tried to ask, "Fifty thousand dollars?" Seeing Qian Rui shaking his head, Han Xuan couldn't help but scold in his heart, there is a lot of money, you really don't think you have enough money. It's someone else's house, and you have to knock on it.
Han Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The original owner of this house died at home, because it is unlucky, and I am afraid that the adults will not be able to sell it if they keep it." Why not be a favor and sell it below? ”
Qian Rui said: "500,000 yuan! ”
"What! You're blackmailing! Han Xuan couldn't help but blurt out. When Han Xuan came to Changsha this time, he didn't bring too much money, plus he had to pay for the cavalry expenses of more than 100 people, so he couldn't take out so much money at all.
Seeing Han Xuan's gritted teeth, Zhao Mu pulled Qian Rui to the side and discussed something in a whisper.
After a while, Zhao Mu walked up to Han Xuan and said, "If the prince can't come up with so much money at once, there is still another way." ”
Han Xuan nodded and said that he was willing to listen, and Zhao Mu continued: "At present, the Yellow Turban is in turmoil, not long ago Nanyang County Shou Chu Gong was attacked and killed by the moth thief Zhang Mancheng, His Majesty ordered Qin Jie, the governor of Jiangxia, to be the new Nanyang Taishou, and all the counties and counties of Jingzhou gathered elite soldiers and handed them over to Qin Taishou to fight for thieves. Now the county guard is anxious to order us to make up elite soldiers, presumably the son also knows the strength of the Yamen village thieves, and the county is already very difficult to defend the bandits, and it is really impossible to draw elite soldiers. ”
Zhao Mu paused and then said: "I heard that Gongzi is very intelligent and has a part. In the name of this county, you can gather enough elite soldiers to join the army to crusade against the Yellow Turban thieves, if the son has done the county a great favor, how about this little house is given to the son! ”
Han Xuan couldn't help but sneer, he borrowed a knife to kill people, and asked him to crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves, not only did they not have to send troops and money, but they could also complete the tasks given by the superiors. In case Han Xuan dies in battle, the house will be theirs, and they will have one less trouble.
Han Xuan asked, "But I will only be twelve years old next year, and I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the army at a young age." Han Xuan didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the Han court and the Yellow Turban Army, he just wanted to slowly develop his own power in the relatively stable south. The so-called fifteenth military enlistment, under the age of fifteen, you can't be a soldier, Han Xuan wants to use this as an excuse to shirk.
Zhao Mu said: "Although the son is less than fifteen years old, he is tall and no different from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. The child's hometown is not here, and I waited and falsely reported the age of the child, and there is no nationality to test. ”
Zhao Mu saw that Han Xuan was moved, so he continued: "If Gongzi has done the county a great favor, when Gongzi returns victoriously, this county will definitely send troops to help Gongzi exterminate the thieves in Yamen Village." ”
Qian Rui echoed: "Yes, with the wisdom and wisdom of the son, he will definitely be able to make military achievements, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be easy to be crowned an official and worship the general, and destroy some bandits?" I just hope that the day when the son is developed will not forget to wait for me, hahaha! ”
Han Xuan thought for a moment and said, "This matter can be considered again when I go back next time." ”
Zhao Mu and Qian Rui agreed, and Han Xuan returned to the inn to talk to everyone, but everyone did not approve of him going.
Yang Xiong said: "Gongzi didn't know that the yellow turban thief had 100,000 people in Nanyang, and these two dog officials wanted Gongzi to send him to death." ”
Han Meng seconded: "Yes." Brother Xuan, why should you be at the mercy of those two dog officials. When Brother Wei goes back, bring more people back with Han Chang to help you break through this tooth gate. Miss Su wants a house, and you and I are. ”
Dong Ping interrupted him and said: "Filial piety must be in the residence of the parents before their deaths, so that the souls of the parents can find their way back." Don't you know? ”
Han Meng realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "I can pay the 500,000 yuan for the girl and help the girl redeem her home." ”
Han Meng looked at Su Qiao'er expectantly, and Su Qiao'er waved at him and said, "This is Qiao'er's family matter, don't dare to bother Han Gongzi." ”
Seeing this, Han Xuan pulled over and said, "Brother, this time my uncle borrowed troops from me, but instead of breaking the bandits, I broke many horses, and I am deeply ashamed of my uncle." Brother, let's go back and recuperate, and apologize to my uncle on my behalf. On the day I return from the army, I will personally come to my door to apologize to my uncle. ”
Han Meng sighed: "Brother Xuan, this thousand soldiers are still under your command, which can be regarded as a little bit of my brother's heart...... I'm leaving, take care of your brother! After saying that, he took people away, and he didn't forget to look back at Su Qiaoer a few more times, his eyes were full of reluctance.
Han Xuan turned to Yang Xiong and Dong Ping and said, "This time, I will take Dong Ping forward, not cavalry, only these thousand soldiers." Yang Xiong is here to help me take care of Qiao'er, and train the cavalry diligently every day. "Since ancient times, the south ships and the north horses, although these hundred cavalry are not of much use in the south, but these people are all elite and Han Xuan's descendants, and there is one less for every casualty.
