Chapter 29 Negligence
CHAPTER XXIX
Chai Baochen opened the letter, and one was sent by King Yu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info As soon as he saw that it was the king of the servants, he couldn't wait to look at it, he didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was startled when he saw it, and the king praised Chai Baochen's great victory in Hangzhou in the letter, but reminded him to check whether Wang Zhen had colluded with the Japanese while resisting the Japanese!
Chai Baochen read the letter carefully, and it turned out that King Yu had set up eyeliner and stared at Wang Zhen after Yang Rong was killed. Some time ago, several outsiders came to the capital to visit Wang Zhen, and then hurried out of the city, followed along the way, and found that these people were all from Nanjing. Presumably Wang Zhen had some conspiracy in Nanjing, reminding Chai Baochen to be more careful.
Now the biggest thing in the south is to resist the Japanese, and Chai Baochen can't think of anything else to do with Wang Zhen's contact with the people in Nanjing. And the king of Yu suspected that Wang Zhen was colluding with the Japanese invaders, which was also reasonable.
Really, I really haven't thought about it in this regard, because the history I read is only some of the most basic common sense, and not everything is known in every detail. Wang Zhen had a very good reason to collude with the Japanese invaders, everyone knew that the Japanese were doing a business without capital, and robbery could make a down-and-out samurai of the Japanese country rich overnight. And why couldn't the Ming army organize an effective force to fight the Japanese invaders? In addition to many other reasons, there is one most important one, that is, the imperial court does not pay enough attention to the plague!
And Wang Zhen is always by the emperor's side, it is completely possible to only report good news and not bad news, and the Japanese invaders will win over the traitorous Ming Dynasty officials, and these officials will give Wang Zhen a part of the treasures they got from the Japanese Emperor, which is completely possible! Don't forget, the letter found in Hangzhou before mentioned that Liu Xian, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, had colluded with the village, and these people disregarded the interests of the people and the country for their own selfishness, which is really infuriating!
Since King Yu let him have a good visit, then he has to use dim sum, and it is great to find out that he can not only contribute to the country and the nation, but also help Wan'er kill Wang Zhen by the way.
Thinking of this, Chai Baochen opened the second letter and saw that the payment was actually written by Master Yunlin. The letter mentioned that Liu Wan'er's injuries healed quickly, and she only needed to recuperate and take medicine on time. Liu Wan'er has been living in a cave since she was seriously injured, and she has long been bored of living there, and wants to return to Chai Baochen's side as soon as possible. Yunlin was wanted by Jinyiwei in the capital, so it was better to avoid the limelight for the time being. They agreed to leave for Ningbo at the end of the month, so that there would be less bumps in the road by water, so that Chai Baochen could prepare as soon as he saw the letter. Yunlin and Chai Baochen have always exchanged letters, and now they suddenly said that they wanted to come over, which still surprised Chai Baochen.
Putting the letter away, Chai Baochen thought for a while: Master will definitely be able to help him when he comes, and give advice to himself on the matter of eradicating the Japanese invaders, Liu Wan'er will come with him, and he must be with him to rest assured, he can't put her in Hangzhou, making her feel lonely, and he can't say that he doesn't take care of it at all, thinking that at the beginning, when he just crossed over, he was not carefully taken care of by Liu Wan'er, how can this kindness be forgotten?
If Liu Wan'er arrives in Ningbo, then Wei Su can't stay alone in Hangzhou, Wei Su is usually very generous, but there is a saying: a woman's heart, a needle under the sea. Wei Su would never allow Liu Wan'er to accompany me alone, and it is unknown what she will think when the time comes.
Without further ado, Chai Baochen immediately wrote a letter to Wei Su and went to greet him with ten guards. Recently, it has not been peaceful, and many robbers have been robbing pretending to be robbers, and ten guards should be able to ensure safety.
Soon evening was approaching, and the sun was about to set. A group of merchants and hired peasants, pushing wheelbarrows, walked in groups in the direction of the city gates, these people walked very slowly, and the soldiers on duty heard the sound of the bell and were about to close the gates. Seeing that the gates were about to be closed, the merchants and farmers quickened their pace, trying to rush into the city at the moment when the gates were about to close.
The chief of the city gate stopped the merchants and said, "The city gate is closed today, come again tomorrow!" ”
A fair-looking merchant stepped forward, nodded and said, "Sir, you can do it, we have just unloaded our goods and rushed to the city, you see, the sun has not completely set?" As he spoke, he pointed to the west, and the sun was blazing, and he was about to sink into the mountains.
"No, the sun has already set, we will follow the sound of the hour, and you will enter the city tomorrow!" Wu Chang refused.
The merchant took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it in the captain's hand, and said, "We have a large number of goods, and we can't spend the night outside the city. ”
"This ......" Wu Chang weighed the weight of the silver and said, "But there are laws in the court, if I don't follow them, I'm afraid I'll ......."
While he was talking, there was a shouting sound not far from the city. Wu Chang looked over and saw a man with loose hair holding a sharp knife, chasing a passerby. In a daze, the two of them had already run under the drawbridge, and they were about to rush into the city. Passers-by suddenly ran behind Wu Chang and shouted, "Help! ”
A man with a sharp knife walks over and is about to commit murder. Wu Chang pulled out the knife in his hand: "Shout, where did the bold fanatics come from!" Several other soldiers also came out in unison. Seeing that the situation was not right, the man with the knife in his right hand grabbed the knife and threw it at one of the soldiers, then turned and ran. The soldier was hit with a dagger in the thigh and cried out in pain. When the captain saw it, he was able to repay it, and he actually committed murder in broad daylight, and even stabbed the guards guarding the door, and beckoned a few soldiers to chase after the man with his hair scattered. At this time, there was only one wounded soldier left by the city gate.
The merchant who wanted to enter the city before walked up to the injured soldier, helped him up, took out a bottle of medicine from the car behind, and said: "This soldier, this bottle in the villain's hand is a miracle medicine brought from Yunnan, come, I will put it on for you." ”
The soldier nodded, and watched the merchant open the bottle and pour half of it on the injured leg, which was strange to say, the leg was still bleeding just now, and now the bleeding had stopped.
The merchant smiled and said: "Master Bing, you should carefully put away this half bottle, this magic medicine is only one or two silver per bottle, hehe." ”
As soon as the soldier heard that this medicine was a good thing, he saw that the merchant had a good face, and he was immediately impressed. said: "Since our Wu Commander didn't say that you can't enter the city just now, then you should hurry up and go in, I will close the city gate." ”
"yes, okay. We're fast. The merchant waved to the procession behind, and the peasants marched toward the city with their carts, while the wounded soldiers sat on the ground and watched them.
The farmer who came to the end was just pushing an empty wheelbarrow, and he kept his head down and didn't look up at the road. The soldier looked at him and said, "Slow, look up!" He reluctantly stood up from the ground, pointing a knife in his hand at the farmer.
The farmer looked up, revealing an angular face and a somewhat evil look. The soldier looked: the farmer had one eye obscured by a black blindfold, and a left eye waiting for the soldier. The soldier shuddered and shouted, "What are you doing?" ”
"Oh, Ah Thin, I said that you don't want to look up, why do you want to scare this soldier!" As he spoke, the merchant turned back from the front of the line, arched his hand at the soldier and said, "Master Bing, his eyes have been pierced blind by pirates, so he looks a little panicked, but he is very good. As he spoke, he put a piece of silver into the soldier's hand, which did not hold a sword. The soldier had never received such a large bribe, and he pinched the silver hard, feeling that it was good in weight and hardness. He wanted to see what the ingot looked like, but he didn't dare to spread his palms out and look at it in front of other passers-by. He just wiped his hand towards his waist and put the silver in his pocket.
The one-eyed farmer smiled at the soldier, and when the soldier saw that the man was also very good-looking, he waved his hand in the direction of the city gate, and said, "Come on in." ”
The one-eyed farmer walked into the city with his head bowed.
