Volume 2 Prosperous Bianjing Chapter 133 Running Backwards
Yu Yunwen and Li Gang were happy.
On the night when Li Xiang fled Bianjing, someone knocked on the door of the Ma family's back house, but of course nothing was found.
I don't know which family sent the person who actually wanted to take the Ma family away, so he ...... The sudden appearance of hundreds of ruffians frightened them, because there were many people in the "idlers", and at first glance they were soldiers of the forbidden army.
The two people led by the "ruffian idler", one pushing a chicken cart and the other pushing a small row of carts, are the Shen Popi and Li surnamed Dahan who "fight" for the supply of goods at the Wan surname event.
The Ma family was quiet, but they were also under surveillance. The unwilling people continued to look for Li Xiang's traces, but where could they still find them?
Ma Rulan thanked Shen Popi and Dahan surnamed Li and wrote down their names. The two strange people from the forbidden army didn't even dare to say that they were a few commanders and more than a dozen commanders, and they would send cronies to take care of the Ma family, so that Ma Rulan didn't have to worry.
Ma Rulan asked the two goods to convey her gratitude to her deceased husband, then sighed and closed the door, worried about the safety of her brother-in-law. She didn't worry much about the safety of her family, if her deceased husband who led her family's affection couldn't even guarantee the safety of the Ma family, then Ma Rulan would also accept her fate.
It happened to be a mid-year break, Yu Yunwen admired a new character written by Li Gang, and praised it repeatedly, "It is worthy of Li Xiang, the font is becoming more and more powerful." β
Li Gang scolded Yu Yunwen with a smile and slid his head, and then mentioned Li Xiang, "That kid is running so fast, he must have received the news in advance." It's good to avoid the limelight, so that a few of us don't have to worry about his safety, and it also avoids friction with Wang Xiang. Mr. Qingshi, a disciple, is really not worry-free. β
Yu Yunwen frowned, "Some people look too ugly. It's getting more and more unusual, this is Bianjing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he actually surrounded the Ma family's house and wanted to take people away...... What do they want to do?! β
When Li Gang heard this, he was also a little angry, and he threw down the wolf pen, "Now it seems that Li Xiang's precautions against some people are somewhat reasonable. Although he is Mr. Qingshi's protΓ©gΓ©, he has no merit in his reputation, and secondly, his father-in-law does not have much status, of course he can't stop it. β
Yu Yunwen nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "It's better to let this kid have a longer memory, so as not to treat the heroes of the world as nothing, too arrogant." β
"That's right."
At the same time, the door to the Ma family.
The housekeeper of the Ma family and the steward of his cronies sat down and were reporting Li Xiang's situation to Mrs. Ma.
I only listened to the cronies and stewards: "This is the case. Li Xiang's kid ran out of Bianjing directly, and kept running away halfway. After crossing several small rivers and hills in succession, our people lost a trace of him. Damn, that kid ran ...... Even the dogs can't catch up! β
The housekeeper was a little happy, but he didn't dare to laugh, and only after getting the eyes of the head of the house did he speak, "Master, there is something unknown to my subordinates." That Li Xiang's father-in-law is just a commander who has just recruited An, and he is still in command of a mud pit like the Nanyang Xiang Army, why should the master be so polite to him? β
Seeing the two cronies and housekeepers who had followed him for decades and had been on the battlefield with him, he was very puzzled by this, and the bold old lady Ma had to mention the two of them, "Do you think Lao Tzu is too polite to Li Xiang and Liu Chengdong?" β
The cronies of the Ma family's business, and the housekeeper, who also had a lifelong friendship with Mrs. Ma, glanced at each other and nodded at Mrs. Ma.
Old lady Ma pointed at these two fools and scolded with a smile: "I see that you two have been eating meat for a long time, and you have slacked off, and you no longer take young heroes in your eyes." β
"Liu Yidao, Liu Chengdong, a loyal and brave heirloom, has been in the army as a good family for generations. That guy is not only strong in martial arts, but also skilled in battle, righteous people, and has a lot of fame before the battle for land. β
"In the battle for land, Liu Chengdong's subordinates were one of the most capable troops, and they also covered the retreat of tens of thousands of forbidden troops, but it was a pity that Cai Quan's ...... Alas, these civil officials, not to mention indiscriminately, always like to engage in some fly camp dogs, are they called fly camp dogs? β
"Liu Chengdong is no longer simple, and his son-in-law Li Xiang is even more not simple!" Mrs. Ma obviously has other news channels and is ready to amplify the material.
The cronies and the steward of the Ma family showed a look of shock and anticipation at the right time to satisfy the old official's pretense of heart.
Old Lady Ma took a deep breath of satisfaction, feeling that the information he had obtained from Mingyueji was worth it. I only heard the Hou Ye, who was just over fifty, say loudly: "That Li Xiang is not simple. At that time, Liu Chengdong used a trick to get rid of Zhao Scar and the inner ghost, but he smashed it. Mingyue Village, which is now Mingyuezhuang, was besieged. β
"Who would have thought that Li Xiang commanded hundreds of young men, plus no more than three hundred disabled guys and young men, and dragged Liu Chengdong back." Looking at the disdainful expressions of the two former subordinates, Old Lady Ma was angry, "Hey! Do you think you can too? β
"What if Lao Tzu told you that the village coalition army and the official army besieging Mingyue Village added up to thousands of people, and they also used crossbows and fierce fire oil tanks?"
The cronies and the housekeeper of the Ma family stopped talking, and their faces were a little feverish.
Old lady Ma continued to evaluate Li Xiang, "The news is basically confirmed. The big restructuring of Daxiangguo Temple is the one behind the idea of Li Xiang and Master Yuanguang, mainly Li Xiang. You have both seen all the unpredictable methods of this kid. β
"Li Xiang is not terrible, and Liu Chengdong is not terrible. But these two are the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law, plus Mingyuezhuang, who has financial resources and military strength...... That's why Lao Tzu is so polite, and he didn't want to take Ma Rulan away like the Jiangmen Wang's family, understand? β
"Besides, Li Xiang kid is very interesting, he has a lot of benefits to sell, and he can make a fortune with harmony, why fight and kill?"
Seeing that the two were impressed, the Ma family lady wiped his sweat with satisfaction, thinking: It's so fucking tired to pretend to be forked! No way, who asked him to continue to maintain his majesty in front of these former subordinates after he stepped down from his position in the army?
The emergency report outside the door sounded, interrupting the praise of the Ma family master by the cronies and the Ma family's housekeeper, and also interrupted the enjoyment of the Ma family.
The housekeeper of the Ma family handed over the urgent edict of the court to his master. The master of the Ma family just glanced at it, and shouted: "Come on, put on armor for the old man!" β
Old lady Ma took out the iron shovel offered in the hall, and said to the two cronies as she walked: "No one dares to touch Liu Chengdong now, Li Xiang's kid has caught up with the good time!" β
"Then everything is commanded and commanded, and their terms are agreed. Contact several other generals, this time you don't have to be too polite to the civilian side, as long as the generals unite and shelter the warriors, you can bite a big piece of the charcoal furnace and iron. Tell the stewards of those families that the gate is also a good time! Speaking of this, the expression of the master of the Ma family was a little complicated, and he felt a sense of shame that "it is difficult to make a fortune".
In order to get things done, the housekeeper of the Ma family always had to ask one more question, and he had the courage to say, "Ahem." Sir, what happened? β
Old lady Ma came to the front hall and was armored by several personal soldiers, "Yao Pingzhong's foolish goods, boasting all day long that he can fight, but he was ambushed and defeated!" β
"The encirclement and suppression of Fang La by the state and the dynasty failed. Liu Chengdong in the north of Hangzhou may be surrounded by Fang La's elite at any time, Han Shizhong in the northeast of Hangzhou is powerless to attack, and Liu Guangshi in the south of Hangzhou can only defend. That's why Lao Tzu said that Li Xiang and Jiangmen have caught up with a good time, and at this time, civil officials will not easily provoke Wufu and Jiangmen! β
Quickly putting on the chain mail and steel mountain armor, the old lady Ma threw down the two cronies who were shocked, got on the horse with his own soldiers, and ran to the palace. What a rare opportunity to brush your face in front of His Majesty the New Emperor!
Almost at the same time, several other guards also received the news. Shomen made almost the same choice, promised to protect Takefu, resist the pressure of the Shidai, so that he could make a fortune with his subordinates, and so on. Of course, they would not let go of the opportunity to show their faces in front of His Majesty the Emperor, so the western city of Bianjing was full of chickens and dogs, and more than 100 knights in full armor and iron armor rushed to the palace......
When he received the news of the war in Jiangnan, Cai Quanzheng, together with his own brother and cousin, went through the plan to deal with Li Xiang and Mingyuezhuang.
Cai's tree is scattered.
In order to protect himself, Cai Quan took the door of the director of Ouchi, Li Yan and Li Gonggong.
For the gentry's family, it is not always a good thing to have too close relations with the eunuchs. Cai Quan was very witty, handed over a small part of the interests of the main vein, blocked the mouths of many people, and earned some sympathy points.
In the Great Zhou, most of the wealthy families are interested in eating, provided that everyone's identities are not far apart. The Cai family sold all the mansions in Xicheng, who is embarrassed to be too embarrassed? Besides, those protΓ©gΓ©s before Cai Xiang's death were all emotional. Li Yan's father-in-law is in the limelight again...... came and went, Cai Quan actually preserved the main vein, and I have to say that he is very powerful.
Those who are staring at the big cake of the Cai family, seeing that Cai Quan is not easy to start here, naturally want to find the side branch of the Cai family who has run to the north and south of the world, which is also Cai Quan's purpose. Since the side branches are all thinking about throwing the main branch out to protect themselves, why does Cai Quan want to be in front?
So, the Cai family's rooms out of Bianjing suddenly found that they were surrounded by evil wolves.
The backers who negotiated the terms with the Cai family's houses sold them and attacked them together with the wealthy families; The officials who were promoted in advance by using their connections in each room of the Cai family actually became white-eyed wolves, opening their mouths and pounced on them; The business warehouse, which has always cooperated well, suddenly became difficult, and the business of the Cai family's various houses was difficult to move forward.
More than a year later, Cai Jing's cousin, the oldest Cai family elder with the most qualifications, understood something.
The old man accompanied all the family property to save the lives of his children and grandchildren, and when he was dying, he pointed in the direction of Bianjing, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, only two words were squeezed out of my throat: so poisonous! And he departed. He didn't dare to tell the truth of his suspicions, and it was useless to say it, could he let his impoverished children and grandchildren go to Cai Quan to ask for an explanation? "Cai Quan does this, it is good to leave the vitality of the Cai family, I hate to stay in the clan to tide over the difficulties together" The old man just thought so before he died.
Cai Quan didn't feel a little guilty. Either the main vein or the branch vein, there is always one side to be unlucky, this choice is difficult?
At the time of the funeral, Cai Quan did not pay attention to the side branches of the Cai family who went to various places, but was wary of his younger brother's encounter with Li Xiang and Wang Wan'er in Daxiangguo Temple.
One of the crimes of Cai Jing's dismissal is the false transmission of military merits, and the ranking of this crime is not low.
At that time, it was Huang Liren who failed to attack Mingyue Village, and wanted to repay Zhao Scar's head, and Cai Jing, who was impeached to the point of being anxious, pinched his nose and recognized this "military merit". When it fell, it was still turned out.
What's more serious is that Liu Chengdong, Liu Yuan, Liu Sheng and others were framed back then, and even had to fall into the grass in the end, all because of Cai Quan's handiwork. Although there are many civil and military generals who benefit, the person who made the shot on the surface is Cai Quan. Therefore, the Cai family, Liu Chengdong, Li Xiang and others are in an endless situation.
Cai Quan certainly understands this. So when he learned about Li Xiang's various methods, especially those embodied in the Daxiangguo Temple, his heart was full of murderous intentions.
Huang Liren also contacted Cai Quan in due course, and continuously conveyed the situation of Mingyuezhuang and Mingyueji to the Cai family. Overall, Cai Quan and Huang Liren are the ones who have the deepest understanding of Mingyuezhuang and Li Xiang, and at most they are the second in a family.
