Chapter 240: Aftermath (2)
PS: Sorry brothers, there's something going on today, maybe it's this one, four thousand words is a little less, the old knife is as big as possible, look before 12 o'clock, you can make up for the two thousand!
Pei Qiu left, he walked very quickly, but he was not in a hurry, Liu Zheng allocated a very sufficient share of the money and materials needed, these were all on the road with Pei Qiu, in addition to these, along with him, there were more than 30 Liu Zheng's personal guards, these people are enough to excite spirits, and kung fu is also a first-class good hand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
With these, after arriving in Banzhou, Pei Qiu can stand firm even if he can't do a lot of work.
Pei Qiu wants to leave, this stall in Shandong is naturally handed over to Liu Yuniang's hands, Pei Qiu just left with the front foot, and Liu Yuniang with the back foot arrived in Qidong County.
came to the county office where Liu Zheng lived, because it was Liu Yuniang who came, and the guards all knew her identity, and they did not stop or go in to report, so Liu Yuniang went straight into the back office.
At this time, Liu Zheng may have no outsiders present, put down all the disguises, and all the negative emotions such as heartache, grief, and haggard were all written on his face, and because of these negative emotions, the old heart and lung injuries recurred again, and he kept coughing, just as he took out the pill prepared by Xu Mingxin from his arms and was about to take another one, Liu Yuniang came in.
"Lord!" Seeing Liu Zheng's haggard appearance, Liu Yuniang's charming eyes became moist all of a sudden.
Liu Yuniang suddenly appeared, which startled Liu Zheng and wanted to get angry, but found that Liu Yuniang was looking at herself with tears, and the fire in her heart was extinguished a lot.
waved his hand and said, "Ahem, I'm fine, no need to be like this!" ”
"Lord, Doctor Xu has told you many times, you can't always take that pill, eating too much will cause laziness, not only will your heart and lung injuries not be cured, but will become more and more serious!"
After saying this with tears in her eyes, Liu Yuniang didn't know where she got the courage, so she ran to Liu Zheng's side and snatched the porcelain bottle containing the pills.
Maybe it was Liu Yuniang's words with a lot of concern, maybe it was Liu Yuniang's tears that corroded the cold shell outside Liu Zheng's heart, he didn't get angry at Liu Yuniang's move of snatching his pills, he just waved his hand very casually, and motioned for Liu Yuniang to sit down and talk about business.
Liu Yuniang bit her lip, and after a little entanglement in her heart, she slowly sat down on the chair opposite Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng sat on the chair and took a sip of warm water, the pill slowly melted, the medicinal power began to work, and the cough gradually subsided.
"Do you know where Luo Sigong is?"
Liu Yuniang calmed down the chaotic mood before replying: "I know, Luo Sigong is in Jinan Mansion at this time!" ”
"Can you find him?"
Liu Yuniang nodded and said, "Yes, he has never been out of our sight!" ”
Liu Zheng nodded, and couldn't help but praise Liu Yuniang in his heart, women are really more suitable for the job of spies than men, they are more delicate, and they naturally know which people or things are important and need their own attention.
If Pei Qiu is replaced, let alone finding Luo Sigong, it would be good to know where Luo Sigong is.
"You order someone to go to him now, see you in the old place tomorrow morning, and if you don't come, let him weigh it himself!"
"Good!" Liu Yuniang stood up to leave, but she couldn't help but say, "Lord......" But as soon as she opened her mouth, all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat again.
Liu Zheng seemed to know what Liu Yuniang was going to say, so he just waved his hand lightly and motioned for her to leave. Liu Yuniang's tears fell all of a sudden, bit her lip, and turned to leave.
Looking at the back of Liu Yuniang leaving, Liu Zheng sighed softly, called the guards in, and asked him to invite Xu Mingxin to come over.
The guards should have turned around and left quickly, and after a short time, they invited Xu Mingxin, Xu Mingxin didn't say anything, diagnosed Liu Zheng's pulse, prescribed a few words of medicine and left.
As soon as Xu Mingxin went out, he was stopped by Jiang Mingda's personal guards, and Xu Mingxin seemed to have expected it, so he didn't ask anything, and left with this person.
Soon arrived at the courtyard where Jiang Mingda lived, at this time, there were several people sitting in the warm hall with earth dragons, and when they saw Xu Mingxin coming in, these people immediately got up and hugged their fists to greet them.
Xu Mingxin also returned the salute one by one, and as soon as he sat down, he spoke: "I know what you want to ask, and I think you know very well in your own hearts that General Liu's illness only accounts for thirty percent, or even less than thirty percent, and the rest are heart diseases." ”
Jiang Mingda sighed fiercely and said, "Alas, how is this good? How is it good? ”
Everyone didn't know how to answer this, and after a while, Zeng Kaiyu sighed and said, "Old Wei, you are the oldest here and have experienced the most things, you see, what should you do about this?" ”
Wei Boyuan was also very helpless about this situation, although he was Liu Zheng's elder, he was not a real elder, and Liu Zheng's family should be invited to this matter, but as soon as he thought of Liu Zheng's only family, that is, Liu Zheng's father, this idea was immediately extinguished.
After being silent for a long time, Wei Boyuan turned his head to look at Jiang Mingda and asked, "Mingda, are there any other relatives in this Liu Zheng's family besides Senior Brother Ling?" ”
Jiang Mingda twisted his brows and thought for a while: "Yes, yes, but since Liu Zheng occupied Qingzhou, the people of this hometown have broken off the relationship with their father and son!" ”
Wei Boyuan was slightly stunned, then he understood, wrinkled his brows and thought about it, and said: "Although I have been in Qingzhou for more than a year, I have never heard Liu Zheng mention his relatives, is it because the relationship between them is not good?" ”
Jiang Mingda shook his head and said: "This, I know a little, the original relationship is still good, I heard that with the help of the senior brother, there are a lot of scholars in the clan, and I heard that there is also a lifting person this autumn, and it is precisely because of this lifting person that the people in the clan have completely broken off the relationship with the senior brother!" ”
When Wei Boyuan heard this, he sighed again, and after thinking for a long time, he spoke again: "Mingda, do you think you can invite Senior Brother Ling to come and let him call the shots, and find two concubines for Liu Zheng first?" ”
Hearing Wei Boyuan say this, without waiting for Jiang Mingda to speak, Xu Mingxin spoke first: "Old Wei, it's not impossible for you to use this method on ordinary people, but according to my opinion of General Liu's temperament, this method will not work!" ”
Jiang Mingda said suspiciously: "Oh? Why is that? ”
Xu Mingxin said calmly: "General Liu is a person of great affection!" ”
Although it was a very simple sentence, it suddenly made everyone understand, and after understanding, these people became more and more silent.
After a long time, Jiang Mingda spoke again: "Then what should we do?" ”
Xu Mingxin smiled and said: "I said that a few generals, they were really blinded by a leaf, General Liu is a person of great affection, and he is also a very rational person, I believe that it will not take long for General Liu to heal himself!" ”
After listening to Xu Mingxin's words, the hanging hearts let go of a lot, but Wei Boyuan and Jiang Mingda's brows wrinkled even deeper, they are both old rivers and lakes, they have seen too many people and things, there are too many people in this world, who are hurt and trapped by love, among these people, the more powerful people are, the easier it is to drill the horns.
There are no people in high positions who are not smart and irrational, which is why the two of them frowned deeper.
Seeing Wei Boyuan and Jiang Mingda's expressions, Xu Mingxin understood a little in his heart, stood up with a smile and said: "The two generals listened to my advice, and put their hearts in their stomachs with peace of mind, although I am not as experienced as the two of them, and my knowledge is not as good as the generals, but I dare to say that I am better than both of them!" ”
After saying this, without waiting for the two of them to speak again, Xu Mingxin arched his hand and said: "Okay, a few generals, I won't stay long if I have something to do, and I will leave!" ”
Seeing Xu Mingxin's figure being cut off by the door, Jiang Mingda and Wei Boyuan glanced at each other, and then sighed helplessly.
……
The next day, early in the morning, a small boat stopped on the river not far from the wharf of Qidong County, and the howling north wind blew the boat and gently shook it from side to side.
Not far away, the same small boat approached unhurriedly, and in a short time the two boats came together.
A man came out of the cabin, and with a slight lift he jumped onto the boat that had been parked there long ago.
As soon as he was on board, someone came out of the cabin, groped around him, and then lifted the curtain of the cabin and motioned for him to enter.
Although the man was unhappy, he didn't show it, he walked into the cabin silently, his eyes adjusted to the dim light of the cabin, and he saw the situation of the cabin clearly, there was a small table in the middle of the cabin, a brazier on the table, constantly bubbling flames, two men, an old and a young man gathered in front of the table to bake the fire, he knew both of them, the old man was the famous downhill tiger Wei Boyuan, and the young man was naturally the person he came to see this time, Liu Zheng!
"General Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are not only less courageous, but also more open!"
Being ridiculed, Liu Zheng did not feel the slightest unhappiness, but said with a smile: "Commander Luo, it's not that I, Liu, am timid, but that you are too bold, and it's not that I, Liu, are slamming the door, but that you don't want to push the money out!"
Luo Sigong laughed, then sat down at the table, stretched out his hand to the brazier and made a fire.
"I don't know why General Liu called the lower officials here?"
"Commander Luo, what you said is not right, although you are the third rank and I am the second grade, your official rank is not as high as mine, but don't forget, you are the commander of the Son of Heaven's army, the status of the two of us in the emperor's heart, that is one close to the heart, and the other is far away in the sky!"
Or that smart people are annoying!
This is always a sharp talk, and people listen to it in a fog, how can it not be annoying?
Luo Sigong said to Liu Zheng, what should you do next in this situation, you Liu Zheng have to get an idea, after all, you have caused this disaster.
Liu Zheng said to Luo Sigong, the emperor is your emperor, not my emperor, if you want to leave it alone, then I will also leave it alone, anyway, it will not be me who will suffer at that time.
Luo Sigong saw that Liu Zheng was going to cheat, he was angry, but he couldn't help it, things were indeed as Liu Zheng said, he cared about what the emperor wanted to think, but Liu Zheng didn't care, this was his Luo Sigong's death.
"General Liu, having said that, if I were to do me, it wouldn't be of any benefit to you, General Liu, would it? As the saying goes, it's better for both to lose money than to cooperate with the two to benefit each other, isn't it? ”
Liu Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Commander Luo, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, what did I say at the beginning?" How did I get started? What did I do after that? ”
Speaking of this, Liu Zheng paused slightly before continuing: "And what about you? Instead, you're helping our common enemy to deal with me, and you want to trade my head for riches! ”
Liu Zheng stretched out his hands: "In this way, how can I cooperate with you again?" ”
Luo Sigong didn't expect Liu Zheng to suddenly lift the table, looking a little embarrassed, but Luo Sigong is Luo Sigong, and the position of being the commander of the Jinyi Guard is not a thin-skinned person, and he quickly returned to his normal color.
He arched his hand and said: "General Liu, you have wronged the lower official, the lower official is just a third-grade official with no power and no power, those boys are all nobles, the family is either a prince, a Hou, or an uncle, maybe one day these boys themselves will become a prince, a Hou, and an uncle, you say such a person, do we dare to provoke?" Do we dare to care? ”
Liu Zheng nodded and said: "Well, indeed, we really can't afford to mess with these boys, and we can't manage them, but that head catcher should be inferior to you, he is jumping up and down under your nose, and you didn't remind us of it, did you?" ”
Luo Sigong was addicted to acting at this time, and said distressedly: "Alas, it's all my fault, if it weren't for my unsatisfactory mixing over the years, my gang of bastards wouldn't have been bought by the old dog's bastard!" ”
Liu Zheng snorted and laughed: "Okay, Commander Luo, don't act with me, we are all busy people, we don't have this idle effort, let's get down to business!" ”
Luo Sigong saw that Liu Zheng lifted the table and didn't plan to pull it, and there was a bitterness in his heart, he almost killed Liu Zheng, can Liu Zheng be kind to himself? If he doesn't cut off a piece of meat on himself, can he finish it?
Sure enough, I listened to Liu Zheng say: "This time, at least 3,000 soldiers died in the soldiers I accepted, and we have to talk about this matter today!" ”
After being silent for a long time, Luo Sigong spoke: "Liu Zheng, since you said that you want to go straight, then I won't go around the bend with you!" ”
Speaking of this, Luo Sigong paused slightly and said: "It's true that you have died a lot of people, but don't forget, the eldest son of the three marquis and five earls died, and even one of them died as the head of the family, if I, Luo Sigong, returned to Beijing, I don't need the emperor to make a move, these people can eat me alive!" ”
After saying this, Luo Sigong saw that Liu Zheng didn't mean to speak, so he continued: "I, Luo Sigong, also said something else, as long as General Liu, you can help me solve this matter, your three thousand people, how you want me to accompany me, I should go!" ”
Liu Zheng stared at Luo Sigong's eyes and said: "Commander Luo, what you said is light, this is not 3,000 dead ants, this is 3,000 people, 3,000 lives, you say accompany, let me ask you, what compensation do you take?" Can you afford to pay it? ”
