Volume 1 The Rise of the Wind Chapter 22 The reunion of the old man is difficult
Li Er looked at Ouyang Yin and said: "I know that you are trained by internal and external waiting officials, and you are ruthless, as long as you think that there is the slightest possibility, you will dig at all means, but I am not Yang Guang, you must not be so cruel and poisonous in the future, it will be a little hard for you to be in charge of the external waiting officials alone, I will send another capable minister to assist you."
Ouyang Yin was stunned, and some loneliness flashed on his face: "The minister obeys the order, everything is only the order of His Majesty." β
Li Er sighed: "It's not that I don't trust you by sending an assistant, but I really want to help you, I think you two will definitely complement each other." Li Er didn't want to explain too much, and said: "The surveillance of Wang Xi doesn't have to be so strict, but it still makes people see the blade on his body and spread it, so that how can the world see me?" β
Ouyang Yin saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the surveillance of Wang Xi by the foreign waiting officials has stopped outside the Suguo Mansion, and after Wang Xi returned to Anyi Fang the day before yesterday, a large number of unknown people suddenly appeared outside his mansion to monitor and investigate, and the minister assured His Majesty that this is definitely not the person who is waiting for my foreign officials. β
Li Er's eyes narrowed slightly: "Oh? Can you find out who the other side is? β
Ouyang Yin: "I haven't found out yet, but according to the minister's observation, those people have the spirit of the rivers and lakes, not like the people in the court, let alone the dead men raised by the family, and their actions are different, as if they do not obey the same forces!" β
Li Er's face was gloomy: "It seems that it's not just my family who is worried about the knowledge of the Ghost Valley!" The waiting officer outside the order is strictly guarded, and he must not be allowed to hurt Wang Xi's family! This son has a strong temperament, he is just a prisoner of his fellow villagers, obviously as long as he appeals to me, he can get what he wants, but he gave me words in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, hum! Yang conspiracy means, false words and intimidation, and retreat as advance, it is really a deep and horizontal skill! β
As soon as Wang Xi had settled in the house, a man who looked like a ragged beggar pushed the door in, and Zhang Lin was still playing with a crossbow in the courtyard. β
Zhang Shi and others, who lived in the front yard, heard the shouting and hurriedly rushed out with crossbows.
The beggar threw away the wooden stick in his hand and said sadly: "Brother Shiβ’β’β’β’β’ Linzi..."
Zhang Shi slowly approached, and when he saw the beggar's face clearly, he was shocked: "Zhang Shou?!" β
"Go and shout Brother Xi, Zhang Shou has found it!"
Wang Xi had already rushed over when he heard the shout, Zhang Shou cried, and pounced: "Brother Xi, I have found you..."
Wang Xi was not too dirty, and hurriedly helped him up, Zhang Shou cried and shouted: "Brother Xi, I'm hungry..."
"Lan Gu! Go get some food! Wang Xi hurriedly called out to the cook,
In the house of Zhang Shi and others, a charcoal basin was lit, and the cook Lan Gu took it to write Hu cakes and water, and Zhang Shou snatched it and devoured it.
Zhang Lin couldn't help but laugh and said: "You stupid donkey, it's been two months since you arrived in Chang'an, or I met Brother Xi first." β
Zhang Shou was just about to refute, he was choked by a mouth full of cakes and rolled his eyes, Wang Xi hurriedly took the water and fed him to swallow, Cui Shi heard the voice and looked at Zhang Shou, seeing that Zhang Shou was only wearing a single clothes, and now in the cold winter, he took a quilt and surrounded him first, and asked the maid to go to the East Market to buy a few clothes.
As the crowd was saying this, the fruit seller at the door pushed the door and saluted Wang Xi and said, "Lord Zhangji, please send someone to Tongming Gate to welcome back your relatives!" β
Everyone cheered, Wang Xi hurriedly took Zhang Shi and the others to leave, Zhang Shou heard that he was going to pick up his father, asked Zhang Lin to borrow a change of clothes, and also walked along.
First went to the Suguo Mansion to borrow a carriage, Wang Xi and others did not know the road, fortunately, the Suguo Mansion not only borrowed the carriage, even the groom also borrowed, the groom heard that it was to Tongmingmen, so he drove the carriage forward, Zhang Shi and others ran behind to follow, and everyone rushed all the way.
In front of the Tongming Gate, Ouyang Yin was dressed in leather armor, a black cloak, a high crown of hair, and two horizontal knives hanging from his waist, looking quite heroic.
Wang Xi stepped forward and looked at him coldly: "What about my family?" β
Ouyang Yin waved his hand, the door creaked open, and several waiting officers walked out with Xu Sidao and Old Man Zhang, who were pale and bearded, and a waiting officer behind him, holding a two-year-old Xiao Shou'er.
"Dad" Zhang Shou shouted, and ran over, and Zhang Shi and the others hurriedly followed.
Wang Xi hurriedly helped Xu Sidao and asked with concern: "Erlang, how are you?" β
Xu Sidao weakly showed a mouthful of white teeth: "It's okay, I can't die yet." He turned his head to look at Ouyang Yin and said, "Gentlemen, let's not change the green mountains, the green water will flow forever, don't let someone meet again!" β
Ouyang Yin snorted lightly: "Wait for you!" β
Wang Xi saw that Xu Sidao's neckline was scarred, and hurriedly ripped off his clothes, only to see that Xu Sidao's white chest was marked with whip marks, and there were traces of a soldering iron on his chest.
Old man Zhang broke away from his son and knelt at Wang Xi's feet: "Brother Xi, the old man is sorry for you!" They threaten my grandson, the old man can't help it! β’β’Brother Xi, kill meβ’β’β’"
Wang Xi hurriedly helped up Old Man Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, it's okay, Uncle Zhang, don't be like this, β’β’"
Wang Xi asked Zhang Shi and the others to take Old Man Zhang and Xiao Shou'er to get into the carriage first, but when they saw that Old Man Zhang's cheeks and back had been soaked in blood, Wang Xi's eyes were about to split: "Ouyang Yin! Hurt my loved ones! Let's not die! Linxiang Ouyang is right?! I want you to taste the mutilation of your family! β
Ouyang Yin, who had been expressionless, changed his face: "Wang Waiter, your origin is unclear, finding out your details is the proper meaning of the foreign officer, even if there is no Ouyang Yin, there will be other people coming, you and I are evil, and you are the first to make sarcastic remarks in front of the palace gate, a certain is Your Majesty's minions, the eyes and ears of the court, not involved in personal affairs, not for personal interests, not for personal interests, why should Wang Waiter be so?" β
Wang Xi asked Zhang Shi and others to take Old Man Zhang and others to find a medical hall to heal their injuries with Ma Fu, and Zhang Lin and Zhang Hu stayed with Wang Xi.
Wang Xi looked at Ouyang Yin: "Sarcastic, aren't you a lucky one?" Did you get the name of Nanhai County Gong by fighting hard? In March of this year, if it weren't for the failure of your mission to the Turks, why did you have the Weishui Alliance today? How could my Zhangjia Zhuangzi be slaughtered by the whole family? Led fifty disciples to cover up and kill the Khan's tooth tent? Still follow the example of Hanzhi Ban Dingyuan? It's ridiculous, according to your theory, a certain is just seeking truth from facts, according to the truth, what is too much? ββ
Ouyang Yin's face turned red, Ouyang Yin's envoy to the Turks to assassinate Jieli was a little stupid in Wang Xi's opinion, but his courage was commendable, and in Wang Xi's opinion, he was still quite appreciative, but Ouyang Yin's torture of his relatives made Wang Xi lose a little reason.
Wang Xi looked at Ouyang Yin: "The foreign officer is well-trained, and his heart is as strong as iron, just now when I said Linxiang Ouyang's family, your face changed a little, it turns out that you also have relatives..."
Regardless of Ouyang Yin, who had an ugly face behind him, Wang Xi laughed and led Zhang Lin and the others to turn around and leave.
Wang Xi's homestead is not as majestic as the two big lions at the door like the TV series, and the gate is just two big wooden doors with smashed copper nails, because the grade is not enough, there is not even a plaque.
Because Xu Sidao and Old Man Zhang were injured, Zhang Shi simply took the doctor back to the mansion, and Wang Xi sent Zhang Shi to Suguo Mansion to borrow a horse to go to Xujiazhuang overnight to report the safety of the old man Xu, and he was worried about his son's safety for several days, and the old man should be worried about the bad outside.
In the small room in the front yard, four charcoal basins were lit, and there was finally some heating in the house, Wang Xi comforted Xu Sidao, who was clamoring for revenge, and listened to Old Man Zhang's apology.
Speaking of Ouyang Yin lifting the two-year-old Xiao Shou'er above the fire plate, forcing Old Man Zhang to tell everything about Wang Xi, otherwise he would throw Xiao Shou'er in, Old Man Zhang was forced to be helpless, so he confessed all the past 1510 of his father-in-law Wang Qi, including Wang Qi's loyalty to Lai Hu'er and his vow not to surrender to Tang, Old Man Zhang was struggling on the sickbed and had to get up and kowtow to Wang Xi to compensate him, Wang Xi hurriedly said good words to appease, no one can do anything in that situation, besides, Li Er should not do anything to Wang Xi because of this kind of thing, Compared with Yang Guang's daughter, he was his beloved concubine, and his two sons were still his officials, and later became the prime minister.
If Li Er is really so narrow-minded, he will not be the first emperor of the famous history.
Cui's took Xiaoxiao to make Old Man Zhang happy, but looking at the well-behaved and cute Little Little Man, Old Man Zhang cried more and more.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, a team of guards pushed the door in, and Gao Fucheng, the great eunuch beside Li Er, personally came to read out the edict of crowning Wang Qi as the man of Yongan County, Zhang Lin and other villagers present were all overjoyed, and Zhang's Zhuangzi turned out to be a lord, which made the Zhuanghu man who had been at the bottom of the society excited.
thanked Gao Fucheng and received the edict, but Wang Xi didn't feel very happy, the male in Yongan County was not hereditary, and his father-in-law died after his death, so naturally there was no reward for sealing the field, which can be said to be a verbal reward.
Sure enough, seeing that there was not much joy on the face of his mother-in-law, Wang Xi couldn't help but snort coldly, although Li Er did not blame Wang Qi, that little bit of caution could not be concealed from someone who had a heart.
The righteous father swore not to be Tang Chen, but Li Er posthumously awarded the oral title of a male from Yongan County in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xi, the righteous son, could not shirk it, making people as disgusting as eating flies.
An emperor through the ages, there are times when you are careful.
Zhang Shi, Zhang Shou and other sixteen strong men, plus Wang Xi, Zhang Laotou, stepmother, Xu Sidao and others, a large family, not a family does not know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and the copper coins rewarded by Li Er will be used up in a few days.
Wang Xi at first thought that a hundred catties of copper money was a lot of wealth, how do you know that since the former Sui Dynasty during the great cause of the people will be starving all over the wilderness, the entire Wude period of the Tang Dynasty is busy in the east and west, the people have limited recovery ability, Li Erxuanwumen mutiny, the incident happened suddenly, the reaction of various places is different, taxes are temporarily stopped to Chang'an, plus the Turks into the Kou, Longyou, Hejian, Shuzhong, Shandong and other places of grain are either still being collected, or on the way to Chang'an.
There was a shortage of food, and for a time Chang'an rice was expensive, and the corn that I was tired of eating in Zhangjiazhuangzi reached the point where the rice was worth a piece of silk!
How valuable is a piece of silk? Some time ago, the Duke of Mi Guo Feng Deyi said to Li Erjin that the knighthood of the clans is too heavy, and the people are wasted, so please surrender the clans to the knighthood. In order to commend him, Li Er rewarded him with a silk horse in court.
Yes, it's not the arrogance in the TV series that rewards 100 silk horses and 100 gold horses at every turn, and the title of a first-class duke like Feng Deyi is only a silk reward.
Fortunately, Chi Jingde, the prince of Hubei, is a person with a true temperament, and yesterday he promised to give Wang Xi the money and food for his body in front of the palace gate, and he sent it over when he went down to the court that day, and a whole ox cart of grain and a little copper money saved Wang Xi's house from the worry of running out of food, and Wang Xi was grateful to this uncle who had only met once.
