The gray sky was drizzling and incessant. The light between heaven and earth is fading, and the day is quietly ending. But the tragedy of this fortified city that was breached did not end.

Zhu Gaoxu stood at the door of a mansion and looked into the depths of the long street. Occasionally, a woman's scream could be heard in the distance, especially in the drizzle.

At this time, an old felt cart drove to the door, Wang Bin walked up, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Wang, the carriage is ready." ”

"Let's go." Zhu Gaoxu said.

After he finished speaking, he and Wang Bin got into the felt car before and after, stretched out his hand and patted it on the board, and Chen Dazhui in front of him whipped the car.

Horse-drawn carriages slowly weaved from one alley to the other. Zhu Gaoxu picked up the corner of the curtain with his hand, and looked at the scene outside through the hazy light in the rain curtain. After a while, he heard a "bang", Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly lifted the curtain, followed the sound, and saw two armored soldiers in the alley next to him rushing into a door.

"Smack!" Zhu Gaoxu patted on the wooden board, and a cry of "hoo" came from the front, and the carriage and horse continued to walk forward a few steps before stopping.

The two people in the carriage stepped out of the carriage, and Zhu Gaoxu said to Chen Dazhu: "Wait." ”

Chen Dazhui clenched his fists and said: "Order!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Bin walked quickly into the alley. They walked to the door that had been slammed open, and then dodged into the house. A woman's voice came from inside: "The military master spares his life, the military master stops......"

Zhu Gaoxu followed the sound and walked into a doorway, and first found a male corpse lying in a pool of blood under the eaves. Wang Bin turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, then kicked it over, and kicked the door open with a "bang".

There was also a headless child inside, whose head had gone nowhere. A woman, disheveled and torn, was clasping her hands to her chest, pressed against a wooden bed by one of the soldiers, who were scrambling to unarmour.

The two sergeants had already turned around at this time and looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Bin.

Zhu Gaoxu was wearing armor, and the scabbard around his waist shone with gold in the dim light. Seeing this, the two sergeants let go of the woman and stood there.

"Has the Holy Majesty ordered you to burn, kill, and plunder the people?" Zhu Gaoxu asked coldly.

A sergeant said: "Many brothers are doing it, and we don't care about hundreds of households." ”

Wang Bin said angrily: "Are you impatient? ”

The two of them suddenly shut up and stood there crampedly. Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to take off their helmets and threw them away, the two were at a loss, and a soldier hurriedly begged for mercy: "For the sake of us working hard for the saint, you spare us once, we know what is wrong." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was a little soft-hearted when he heard this, and immediately took a breath and said, "The son of tomorrow will pay you, so that you will kill the people?" Walk! ”

The two sergeants walked out of the room dejectedly, Zhu Gaoxu took out a handful of Daming treasure money from his arms, and glanced at the woman, "Murder pays for life, they will be severely punished." ”

The woman curled up there tremblingly, looking at Zhu Gaoxu speechless.

The two soldiers walked in front, and Zhu Gaoxu followed them out of the house, pointing to the mouth of the alley and saying, "Over there!" ”

The two of them walked out into the street at a loss, and were driven to stand in front of the carriage. Zhu Gaoxu walked up to them, suddenly waved his fist, and hit one soldier on the chin with a "bang", he punched very fast, and before the other soldier could react, he also received a punch, and the two of them immediately fainted.

Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Bin carried the two soldiers into the carriage one after another.

At this moment, there was a "plop" sound behind him, and when Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, he saw that the disheveled woman just now ran out, kneeling in the wetland and kowtowing continuously: "Please take it in!" When the in-laws of the slave family came back, they saw that their sons and grandsons were dead, and they couldn't spare the slave family, you are a good person to the end! ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the survivors were still guilty. When he saw the woman's forehead "thump", he said, "Get up quickly...... Get in! ”

"Thank you, great kindness......," the woman staggered.

The woman climbed into the carriage and stared at the two men piled up inside, with frightened eyes, who she might have thought were dead.

Zhu Gaoxu slapped the wooden plank with a "snap", and there was a whip sound outside, and the carriage was faster than before.

Back at the mansion where he was stationed, Chen Dazhui asked the soldiers on duty to open the gate and drove the carriage straight into the mansion. When Zhu Gaoxu and the others got out of the car, they were in front of a firewood room, and there was no one around.

He stretched out his hand and dragged the trembling woman down, and said, "You go outside and wait for me first." ”

The woman obediently bowed her head and walked away without even making a sound.

Zhu Gaoxu said to Chen Dazhui: "Tie them up and shut their mouths!" Early tomorrow morning, I will send you out of Jinan City, and you will drive back to Beiping first. Find a place to hide for a few days, and then take you into the city when I go to Beiping with the army, so as not to be checked by the soldiers defending the city. ”

Chen Dazhui clenched his fists and said: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu exhaled, then turned around and left the firewood room, he glanced at Wang Bin, who was puzzled, and didn't say much, he waved his hand and said, "Wang Qianhu go." ”

Wang Bin saluted: "The last general will retire." ”

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the front of the room, and suddenly saw that the woman was standing there, he was not interested in paying attention, pushed open the door and went in. The woman hurried after.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her, her hair was messy like a female ghost, and the clothes on her body covered her body, but they were torn to pieces.

"I'm very sorry that the rebels did something that ruined your family in one day." Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said, "But my words count, the rebels who committed the crime are dead." ”

In the long and messy hair, a pair of puzzled eyes looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and said in a trembling voice: "The people of our family were not killed by Engong, Engong saved the life of the slave family, why do you say that?" ”

"That's it." Zhu Gaoxu said a little tiredly, "Anyway, I'm not comfortable." ”

Zhu Gaoxu pointed outside and said, "There is a bedroom next to it, you go find a set of clothes to change by yourself." A well was dug in the yard. ”

The woman nodded, and withdrew with her neck bent.

Zhu Gaoxu slapped his thigh, and suddenly thought: There will be no rumors that Lao Tzu burned, raped, adultered, plundered, and robbed women?

……

A few days later, Wang Shi continued to the north with Sheng, heading to Beiping. But Zhu Gaoxu understood that everyone would not stay in Beiping for too long, and his father would soon return to Beijing after receiving the people from King Yan's mansion.

With his father's resolute style, he could complete the affairs of Beiping by dividing five by two, leaving not much time for Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu took the carriage driven by Chen Dazhui and returned to the county king's mansion first, and saw Du Qianrui greeted him with a surprised face, and Wang Gui and others also came to greet him. Du Qianrui's beautiful eyes looked at him, but he didn't care about it, turned his head and beckoned to Wang Gui.

Wang Gui hurriedly came over, and Zhu Gaoxu said in a low voice: "Go and open the door of the back garden, and let Chen Dazhui drive into the garden." ”

"Slaves obey!" Wang Guidao.

At this moment, a woman outside the gatehouse stepped down from the carriage, and Zhu Gaoxu took a look, it was the woman who was brought back from Jinan City's "good people to the end", who had changed into a dress, and looked very pretty, at least much better than those maids in the county king's mansion.

Zhu Gaoxu beckoned to the woman, then turned around and walked into an inverted room in the courtyard. When the woman came in, Zhu Gaoxu advised: "Don't mention your tragic past in the future, lest rumors spread." Got it? You just said, I bought it from the Shandong Political Envoy Department. ”

The woman nodded timidly.

Zhu Gaoxu left immediately, went straight to the study in the inner hall, and sat down on the chair without bothering to change out of his clothes.

With a sigh of relief, he reached out and rubbed his chin continuously.

Qu Neng's father and son, although Zhu Gaoxu has thought about it many times, he is still very nervous when it comes to the end.

Privately rescued the general Jianwen who can fight well, once the news leaks, how to explain it to his father?

But right now, Zhu Gaoxu has nothing in his hands, and he doesn't dare to do anything, just waiting for the situation to develop step by step? Qu Neng, a brave and resourceful general who can break through the Beiping City Gate with a thousand soldiers and horses, just watched him finish?

In a trance, Zhu Gaoxu remembered the situation in his previous life when he was doing logistics work in a restaurant, and he wanted to bet with the money! Winning solves a myriad of problems, but what about losing? He didn't dare to think about it at the time.

Now Zhu Gaoxu is also very reluctant to think about the consequences in case he is exposed.

Generally faced with this kind of decision-making moment, according to the experience of his previous life, his general choice is to do it and then talk about it!

At this moment, Wang Gui walked into the study, walked up and bowed: "Welcome the prince back to the house." Back to the prince, there were two people in the car, and the slave maid took them to the utility room. It's still tied, and it looks like I'm so hungry that I only have one breath left. ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly, his hand lightly tapped on the bookcase, and made some trivial movements. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Qu Neng's son, Qu Liangcai, let me go back then." Now that my father is sitting in the country, their family is more auspicious, I can't sit idly by......"

"Yes." Wang Gui stood there bent over, didn't say a word, and his expression was a little solemn.

Zhu Gaoxu asked again, "I went back to my house last year and gave you some incense, I told you to keep it, are you still there?" ”

Wang Gui hurriedly said: "The matter that the prince confessed in person, the slaves and maids are all concerned. ”

"Go get a carriage." Zhu Gaoxu said.

After Wang Gui answered, he went out.

Zhu Gaoxu sat alone in the chair and didn't move for a long time.
