Chapter 90: Merriam-Webster

That Ding was about to whip Zhao Tiezhu, and as soon as he raised his hand, he was shot through the head by Cheng Chumo with an arrow. Those who die before they react can't die again.

The big guy saw that the army was coming towards Zhao Tiezhu, and automatically got out of the way. Cheng Chumo, raised his head and the soldiers turned over and dismounted, pulled out the horizontal knife, and said with an angry face, "Whoever dares to torture me with a back to the military, surround them for me." ”

The soldiers behind Cheng Chumo formed a military formation with horizontal knives, forcing the surrounding family members together and surrounding them.

Cheng Chumo went up to untie the hands of Zhao Tiezhu and the others, and lowered them from the wall.

Seeing that they were dead and wounded, and there was no good skin left on their bodies, Yang Datou asked, "Zhuzi, what's the matter with you, didn't you say that you came back to get married, what's going on?" ”

Cheng Chumo looked at the injuries of several people and ordered, "Come on, go and ask the doctor to come and treat their injuries, and keep a close eye on these people who dare to touch our brothers, and we can't let one go." ”

"No"

At this time, a large group of people came out of the gate, holding weapons and confronting the Beiwei sergeant clan, and a boy came out first, shouting, "Where did you come from, dare to kill my family, so bold." ”

Cheng Chumo said with an angry face, "The young master has always been very bold,." It just so happened that you moved our people, how are you going to explain,"

Brother Gongzi smiled arrogantly, "Confess, what do you want to explain, it's just a few mud legs, you dare to ask me to give an explanation, and you don't ask if this is also a place for you mud legs,"

Cheng Chumo looked up and saw the plaque hanging by this family on the Wei Mansion, Cheng Chumo was not reckless and secretly thought to himself, "This Du Ling, Wei Mansion should be the hometown of Wei Guifei in the current dynasty, this is bad." ”

This Wei family is a big family in Duling, and the people surnamed Wei are all over the court and the opposition, and they are one of the most important scholar families in the Tang Dynasty. In the Jingzhao area of the Tang Dynasty, it was very influential, and there was a popular saying among the people, "Chengnan Weidu, go to Tianqiwu". Since Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty appointed Wei Xuan as a young master, and then promoted to the crown prince and prince, until the imperial history doctor, ranked as the third duke, and began to be a marquis, Wei Xuancheng moved his family to Jingzhao Duling, and his descendants multiplied and prospered, and became a member of the Guanlong clan during the Cao Wei period. During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Jingzhao Wei clan gradually got rid of regional restrictions and qualitatively became a scholar family with national influence. It has a great reputation in the Guanzhong area. Mainly Jingzhao Wei, Hedong Xue, Hedong Pei, and Hedong Liu, these four surnames are used to become the "four surnames of Guanzhong". Moreover, there are many talents in the family, there are 20 Wei worshippers in the Tang Dynasty, and most of the women are the emperor's concubines, and the power is extremely strong.

Cheng Chumo is the same as Cheng Biting Jin, on the surface, he looks like a reckless man and has no heart, in fact, this is the great wisdom of Cheng Biting Jin, looking at the mix, in fact, it is thick and fine, and he has turned danger into a disaster many times, Cheng Chumo is the eldest son, and the deep Cheng Biting Jin is cultivated, Cheng Chumo said quietly, "Who are you Wei?" ”

Brother Gongzi thought that Cheng Chumo was going to be stunned and said, "Okay, this son, Wei Kuan, the former father of Sui Shuguo, Wei Kuangbo, my cousin is His Majesty's Wei Guifei, my sister is His Majesty's Wei Zhaorong, and there are many brothers and uncles who are officials in the imperial court, do you still want me to explain now?" I advise you to release my people quickly, and after paying a thousand gold, my son is merciful, so I will let you go, how about it. ”

Cheng Chumo knew that there was no way to take the guy with his own little lieutenant, so he could only go back and ask the prince to come forward, with what he knew about Li De, the prince would definitely take care of this matter, not to mention Wei Guifei at that time, even His Majesty would have to give the prince face.

Cheng Chumo: "Hmph, don't be too happy, someone will block the gate for me, if there is an impact on the army, there will be no forgiveness." ”

Then he said to Yang Datou, "You quickly send someone back to the general, the prince reports the matter here, be sure to ask the prince to come forward, although we are not as many as them, but once the fight starts, the outcome is unpredictable." Lest the situation get out of hand, go quickly. ”

Yang Datou understood and asked the ins and outs of the matter, so he asked the Venerable Master to go to Chang'an and Daying to find Su Dingfang and Li De.

Wei Kuan saw that he didn't scare off the soldiers when he moved out of the name of the concubine, so he shouted and asked the family to surround the group, and he went back to ask his uncle to decide what to do about this matter, of course he knew that these people were betraying the army, and he originally wanted to beat a few mud legs to get angry, as long as he didn't kill him, he wouldn't attract the attention of others. I didn't expect someone to come to the door to help them back, but I still had to be prepared, so I made up my mind and turned around and went back to the mansion.

On the other side, Li De went to the palace to explain to Li Shimin the requirements for an additional 3,000 posts, Li Shimin is naturally not accurate, let Li De watch and play directly, anyway, the back army is Li Shimin's land reserved for Li De, you can play as much as you want, as long as you don't rebel against him.

This just out of the palace has not arrived home, on the way to meet Du He, now Du He has changed a bad disease, not reborn, at least it is also the prodigal son turned back, he went to Li De's palace today, is his father Du Ruhui's request, be sure to invite Li De to Du Mansion line, after Sun Simiao and Li De joint treatment, Du Ruhui has been rescued from the ghost gate, follow the advice of the two, has written Li Shimin to resign from the official to explain his condition in detail, need to put down his business and return to his hometown to recuperate, as one of Li Shimin's right-hand men, In order to save Du Ruhui's life, Li Shimin also agreed to Du Ruhui's request, but his cultivation was okay, and his resignation was not allowed, and when Du Ruhui's condition was relieved, he also needed to return to the court to give advice to the Tang Dynasty, and rewarded a lot of precious medicinal materials and supplements, which moved Du Ruhui to death, if it weren't for the persuasion of his wife and son, Du Ruhui would want to go back to the court immediately to sort out official business.

At the invitation of Du Ruhui, Li De came to Du Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, Du Ruhui and his wife, the eldest son Du Gou, Du He, bowed down to Li De and said, "Du Ruhui, thank you for saving your life." ”

Li De hurriedly helped Du Ruhui and his wife up and said, "Lord Du, the ceremony is too heavy. It's my job to save your life, but you're the backbone of Datang, how can I see death and not save it,"

Du Ruhui said, "Lord Wang, you not only saved my life, but also turned back the prodigal son of Du Hejiao, my Du family owes you a lot, this gift is nothing, what do you want in the future, my Du family is from top to bottom for you." ”

Li De said, "Master Du, when you get better, you will plan more for the Tang Dynasty and seek more well-being for the people, even if you thank me, you know that I will fight and kill, and those skills for the benefit of the country and the people are not as good as you." ”

After hearing this, Du Ruhui immediately agreed, and asked Li De to be the first to enter the main hall, and he had already asked people to prepare a banquet, so that the two brothers Du Wei and Du He could accompany Li De to drink for him.

Du He was the first to raise a glass, "Lord, please let me toast you, I Du He lived in vain for more than ten years, until you let me enter the barracks and go to the battlefield, I knew for the first time how stupid and ignorant I was before, that day we triumphed, for the first time in my life, I Du He was not scolded as a loser, the second lord, a prodigal son who did all the bad things, but with you to break through the Turks in one fell swoop, capture alive the heroes of Jieli Khan, that feeling made my blood boil, but also made me proud, although I did not kill a few Turkic dogs with my own hands, But I also made a modest contribution, I Du He is proud, come, lord, I respect you. ”

Mrs. Du looked at her sensible youngest son, tears rolled in her eyes, and Du Ruhui also smiled with relief, and kept rubbing her beard.

Li De picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay, don't be in vain with your parents' good intentions, but don't be complacent, follow Ma Zhou well, he is a great talent, and he will establish greater merits for me in the future, not for me, not for your parents, but for yourself, understand." ”

Du He nodded firmly. Du Wei also raised a glass to thank Li Deneng for educating his younger brother well. Li De drank and laughed with them.

The steward of the Du family came to the main hall and reported, "Villain, meet His Royal Highness King Wei, there is a soldier outside the Du Mansion who claims to be the right soldier of the army, saying that there is something important to ask to see the prince." I don't know if you can see it, Lord Wang. ”

Li De was surprised and said how he found this, and then asked the housekeeper to bring the team in.

When Yang Datou saw Li De, he immediately hugged his fists and said, "Humble Yang Datou, meet the prince, the prince's subordinates have found Zhao Tiezhu and a few people who have not returned to the team, but the matter is getting bigger, and Captain Cheng sent me back to report to you." ”

Leed said, "Oh. What's going on, Cheng Chumo can't handle it, let you come to me. ”

Yang Datou said, "Lord Wang, I and Captain Cheng found Zhao Tiezhu and a few people outside the Wei Mansion in Duling, at that time they were tied to the wall by the Wei family, and they were beaten with leather and bruised. ”

Li De said, "Why did they have a conflict, you say?"

Yang Datou said, "It's because the young master of the Wei family robbed Zhao Tiezhu's childhood sweetheart's wife, and forcibly robbed him, and insisted on taking him as a concubine." When Zhao Tiezhu returned home, he found that his mother had been beaten and seriously injured, and his wife had also been kidnapped by the young master of the Wei family. took three companions to find trouble with the Wei family, but unfortunately the Wei family had already prepared and set a trap and was caught. Lord Wang, you can call the shots for them, I heard that the Wei family is so big. ”

When Du Ruhui heard this, he asked, "Are you talking about the Jingzhao Duling Wei family?"

Li De introduced, "What are you in a daze, this is Lord Du, the prime minister of the dynasty, don't hurry up and say it." ”

Yang Datou clenched his fists and said, "The villain has seen Du Xiangye,." Xiangye is right, it's the Wei family. ”

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "Lord Wang, it just so happens that the old man has already asked His Majesty to resign and want to go back to Du Ling's hometown to recuperate, I think it is better for us to go now, I also know Wei Kang, the current head of the Wei family, they are one of the four surnames in Guanzhong, and the family is huge, and His Majesty's Wei Guifei is from his family." ”

Li De said, "If things are as you said, then the king should see how the concubine disciplines her own family, is so domineering and robs the people's daughters." and dare to touch the king's soldiers. ”

"Master Du, without further ado, let's go."

Immediately, Du Ruhui's family and Li De rushed to Duling.
