Chapter 22: The Undercurrent of Waves
As Chen Yu said, these beaten Imperial Forest Army did not trouble Gao Huan and others, Gao Huan saw that there was no movement outside, so he hurriedly ran to hand in the task with the letter, but he didn't expect that a wave of unsettled waves would arise again.
Ma Xiang is Gao Huan's top boss, and in his capacity, he didn't have to stand at the door to receive these messengers, but Ma Xiang would stand at the door at this time of the month, and outsiders thought that Ma Xiang was serious about his work, but in fact, this was not the reason at all.
Those who came from other places to deliver letters saw Ma Xiang, they would respectfully salute and call an adult, whenever Ma Xiang felt that he was living a full life, and his heart was also satisfied, and there were many people in the capital who were higher than his official position, so he could only be satisfied with these foreign messengers.
Ma Xiang is in a good mood today, and he has prepared some meat, and every postman who salutes him and greets him, Ma Xiang will hand over a piece of meat to himself, he just likes to see the expression of gratitude on the faces of those postmen. Ma Xiang counted that there was still a postman coming over today, so he began to continue to prepare to enjoy his own "happy moment." ”
Gao Huan was thinking about Chen Yu's words all the way, what happened to the current imperial court! Gao Huan thought about it, and when he saw Ma Xiang, he forgot to salute and say hello, he was in a hurry when he came, and now he happened to be a little hungry, so he took the meat handed by Ma Xiang and found a corner and sat down to eat.
Gao Huan didn't say hello to himself, which already made Ma Xiang feel extremely embarrassed, seeing Gao Huan sneering and sitting down to eat meat, Ma Xiang, who was going to enjoy the moment of happiness, was suddenly angry and cold.
"Come on, Lao Tzu will give this guy meat, he will sit down and eat it with a big grin, and beat me to death......" Seeing Gao Huan being beaten and rolling on the ground, Ma Xian's heart was much happier, he would never have imagined that the pleasure of this moment would cause him to lose his life soon after......
After being beaten in vain, Gao Huan returned to the inn and beckoned everyone home, and now he had just finished causing trouble, and now he couldn't open a branch in Zhang Luo, so a few people cleaned up a little and left the capital in a hurry.
"I inquired just now, the old man Zhang Yi is old, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to bear to be beaten, and he will die that night!" Gao Huan sighed and sighed: "On the side of the imperial court, it only simply punished the eight Imperial Forest Soldiers who took the lead. ”
"This time the court is really faceless, the majesty is swept away, big brother doesn't have to sigh, at least we saved Zhang Shijun's life, and we can only do this with our ability!" Chen Yu glanced at Gao Huan, pretended to be casual and said casually: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and we want to help more people in the troubled times, unless we also have the right to be soldiers!" ”
Gao Huan was silent after listening to this, but Lou Zhao suddenly spoke: "Master, I think of an important thing!" ”
"Forget it, what important things can you have, Brother Gao thinks about things, don't disturb him, let's go over!" Chen Yu said that he pulled Lou Zhao away, he wanted Gao Huan to think about what he said, so that Gao Huan's ambition exploded.
"Master, do you still want to marry that Wang girl!" Lou Zhao asked tentatively.
"Autumn leaves have done a lot of work in our house, and she has taken good care of my father and son, this girl is kind-hearted, and she is not bad, I am ready to marry her when I go back!" Although Chen Yu was moved by the woman he saw in a hurry in the capital, he was just a passerby after all, he didn't know his name or his identity, it was better to be realistic, the Six Towns Uprising was about to break out, and Chen Yu also wanted to get himself out of the ranks of singles first.
"Hey, but you still can't marry the sister of the Wang family!" Lou Zhao said with a wicked smile.
"Why?" Chen Yu asked suspiciously.
"Hahaha!" Before Lou Zhao could speak, he first held his stomach and laughed, and laughed for a long time before saying: "We left in a hurry, and you didn't have time to see your master, you said before that you wanted your master to nod when you got married, and now you can't get married again!" ”
Chen Yu "......"
……………………………………………………………
In the town general's mansion in Woye Town, the steward hurriedly ran to the door of Yu Jing's study: "Master, the townspeople have gathered at the door to petition again, what do you do!" ”
"These people are shameless, you idiot, you can't just let the guards drive them away!" Yu Jing shouted impatiently, he was woken up just after a nap, how could he still speak in a good tone.
This steward is the coachman Lao Wang of the year, Yu Jing has no right-hand men around him, Lao Wang is more honest, and he is more loyal to Jing, Yu Jing promoted him to be the head of the house, but this manager is not good, he is scolded all day long, not to mention, looking at the menacing posture of the townspeople, Lao Wang feels that his life is a little dangerous, it is better to be a coachman.
"Master, no, these guards are also locals, their villagers, some are still related, I think they are quite polite to the townspeople who make trouble, and now you have to come forward!" Lao Wang continued to complain.
"These things that are eaten inside and out, and they will all be replaced for me after a while!" Yu Jing got up while scolding, and then slowly paced towards the door.
After Lao Wang opened the door, Yu Jing strode out, and when he saw the full townspeople outside the house, Yu Jing was also startled at first, he quickly calmed down, and pretended to be calm: "You people, why are you surrounding my mansion, don't you want to rebel?"
"My lord! You let us form a militia to defend Rouran, this is a good thing to defend our homeland, we have no opinion, but you have to pay us some food, we also have to feed our families! An old man was estimated to be a representative of the townspeople, but when he walked in front of Yu Jing, he knelt down for Yu Jing and begged bitterly.
"What do you Diao people know, once the Rouran army besieges the city, what should we do, can't we rely on the grain and grass piled up in the granary, and send it to you now, when something happens, what should we do, starve to death?" Yu Jing explained impatiently.
"My lord, this Rouran people will also fight the autumn wind, how can they have the strength to besiege the city, even if they besiege the city, then Huaishuo and Wuchuan Town will come to support us!" The old man knelt on the ground, raised his head and said to Jing: "Besides, our granary is fully stocked, and we are not afraid of him besieging the city at all. ”
What the old man said was reasonable, which made Yu Jing also stunned, Yu Jing only knew how to calculate how to shoot the sycophants of the court officials all day long, where did he know these things, but although he agreed with what the old man said, he couldn't save face, and still said: "You Diao Min, do you know more than me, hurry back, don't waste my time!" ”
Seeing that Yu Jing turned around to leave, the old man hurriedly climbed a few steps forward and hugged Yu Jing's leg, "Lord Mingjian, if you don't send food, if you don't wait for the Rouran people to come, we will starve to death, please be gracious!" ”
The other townspeople also knelt down and shouted to Yu Jing in unison, "Please be gracious!" ”
"You let go, don't stain my new clothes!" Seeing the old man like this, Yu Jing was anxious and angry, kicked twice but couldn't kick away, and was even more furious in his heart.
"Your Excellency, you can do it! If you don't give me food today, even if you kick me to death, I won't let go. The old man shouted with a handful of snot and tears.
"Made, shameless Diao Min, my clothes were sent from the capital!" Yu Jing saw that the guards were beside him and didn't come up to help, so he angrily grabbed the knife of the guards next to him and cut it down according to the old man.
