Chapter 276: Assassination during the Spring Festival (I)

The last time the Wu family's mansion was raided, and the income was very much, which was much more than the income of the Zhenwei camp for half a month to go out to suppress bandits, and there were more than 5,000 taels of silver alone, and there were many calligraphy and painting treasures, and there were more than 1,200 stones of grain and rice. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

These things are a relief for Xiao Yi, and now the silver taels and grain and rice that need to be spent everywhere in the state city every day are unimaginable to Xiao Yi in the past, and the income from the bandits can only last for half a month, if you want to spend the year in peace, you need to go out to suppress the bandits.

But now that there is a batch of grain, rice and silver taels from the Wu family, although some of them have to be handed over, the rest is at least enough to maintain the state city for a few months, and this year can finally pass in peace.

This is Xiao Yi's first Spring Festival in Daming, and the things that have been worrying about him have finally been resolved, Xiao Yi is finally no longer worried, his face is clear, and when he sees the garrison like this, everyone else is laughing all day long.

One day, Xiao Yi was dealing with government affairs in the lobby, but not long after, Huang Yang, Wang Dayong, and Shi Lu all came, and they had just received Xiao Yi's order in the military camp to ask them to go to the garrison mansion to discuss matters.

Several people were also unceremoniously, each found a chair to sit on, and Shi Gang said with a big grin: "Brother Xiao, why did you call us here?" ”

Wang Dayong smiled: "Yes, is there any new decree to be announced?" Speaking of which, the rest of the people also paid attention.

Xiao Yi looked at Wang Dayong with a smile: "You answered half of the right answers, and there are three things to do when you ask you to come this time." ”

Walking in front of Shi Gang, Xiao Yi's expression became a little sad, and he sighed lightly: "Old Shi, Lifang... There's already news..."

The smile on Shi Gang's face stopped abruptly, he already had a bad premonition in his heart, and gritted his teeth: "Brother Xiao, you say it, I can stand it." ”

Xiao Yi walked slowly to the outside of the hall and said softly: "Our brothers have all lost their favorite people or relatives, I hope you don't act rashly. ”

Immediately after that, Xiao Yi looked in the direction of Jingshi and said in a deep voice: "The more this is the case, the more we have to kill thieves and captives, so that fewer people can experience this kind of pain like us." ”

Seeing Shi Gang's firm nod, Xiao Yi said: "Lifang, it has been more than three months since she died, according to the confession of Zheng Qi's confidant, after Lifang was taken captive, she would rather die than die on a hunger strike. ”

After speaking, Shi Gang had already clenched his fists, although he was trembling with anger, but it was different from before, this time he just gritted his teeth, neither let go and cried, nor shouted to kill Zheng Qi.

Wang Dayong looked at Shi Gang's performance and was also surprised, is this still the Shi Gang in his impression?

Xiao Yi was also very satisfied with Shi Gang's performance, gently patted Shi Gang's shoulder armor, and comforted: "Lord Futai has already issued a document to remove Zheng Qi's status as a student, you will..."

For literati like Zheng Qi, there is no difference between exempting them from the status of a student and asking for their lives, and Shi Gang naturally knows this principle.

Shi Gang nodded, and said suddenly: "Big brother, I understand that Lifang has already gone, even if it kills that guy, what's the use, it will add trouble to the brothers, but I only want one thing." ”

As he spoke, Shi Gang suddenly knelt on the ground: "I just want my eldest brother to correct Lifang's name, Lifang has never been insulted by that thief, and Lifang can't be wronged in vain!" ”

Xiao Yi looked a little moved, and helped Shi Gang: "I believe that Lifang must be innocent, not only to correct Lifang's name, but also to set up a tomb for Lifang in the state city and reopen the 'Guihe' rice shop." ”

Shi Gang's big eyes were full of tears, and he grinned widely: "Thank you, big brother!" My life, in the future, will be the eldest brother's, go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pot, if I Shigang frowns, it will not be raised by my father's mother! ”

"Me too!" Wang Dayong followed and knelt down, and then Shi Lu, Huang Yang, and Liu Tong said: "We too, we will follow the eldest brother in this life!" ”

Xiao Yi's face was full of joy, and he helped up a few people one by one: "They are all brothers, why are you so restrained, come and drink with us!" ”

"Good!"

……

Time slowly came to February 11 of the third year of Chongzhen, according to the day of the Ming Dynasty, tomorrow is the Spring Festival.

At this time, the north of the Ming Dynasty is still a cold wind howling, but no matter how cold the temperature is, it can't stop the fiery atmosphere of the people.

The Yong'an Army holiday is three days, these three days, except for the necessary sentries and guards, all the rest of the soldiers will go home for the holiday, even the garrison mansion that has been heavily guarded, except for a few servants, this time only left a first-class sergeant to guard the door.

Everywhere has long been full of lights, lively and lively, welcoming the arrival of the Spring Festival, and the same is true of the garrison mansion, these days every day are the guests constantly, sending away a wave and coming again, Xiao Yixiao's mouth is a little stiff.

finally stayed up until the night, and saw off the last Niu Pingmao and Yin Luohua, Xiao Yi chuckled and shook his head.

Since these two people went back from themselves last time, they don't charge at the usual price for their own business, such as Niu Pingmao.

A ploughing cow costs three taels of silver, Niu Pingmao only charges two taels and six yuan, and the same is true for Yin Luohua, although Xiao Yi's business is contracted by the Tao family, he can ask Xiao Yi to help escort the cloth to other places to sell at a price.

And Xiao Yi also found a way to make money from this matter, and found Zhou Ding, the general manager of Zhenwei Third Battalion, and after a detailed discussion, let Zhou Ding take charge of the transportation tasks of various merchants, as for the silver two, it still has to be collected.

The sergeant of the Zhenwei battalion is also a member of the Yong'an Army, although he is only a reserve in Xiao Yi's eyes, he is still carrying the military flag of the Yong'an Army.

Seeing this big flag and the sergeant with armor, there is no bandit on this Datong East Road who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head.

When the news came out, merchants from all walks of life went to find Zhou Ding, and for a while, Zhou Ding was very busy, while being responsible for the rotation defense of the various sentinels, sentinel spies, etc., and also to meet with the merchants who came to visit.

But although he is busy, Zhou Ding has always been happy, compared to the previous life of drunken dreams and idleness, this kind of life makes him feel fulfilled.

Generally speaking, in addition to the silver taels handed over to Xiao Yi as usual, Zhou Ding can also get a large amount of oil and water, and those merchants continue to flatter him, the purpose is to let Zhou Ding send more people to escort him.

Zhou Ding has always been full of promises to this, and finally sent someone to take care of it as usual.

In Zhou Ding's opinion, this day is simply beautiful, even the Qinglou has not been there for a long time, and he stays in the barracks all day.

Loosening the sore muscles and bones, Xiao Yi walked into the bedroom, Huang E saw Xiao Yi enter the room, and immediately greeted him with a smile, thoughtfully took off his coat for Xiao Yi, and gently shouldered Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi held Huang E's hand and slowly rubbed it on his face: "Only when I get to Sister E's place can I really relax." ”

Huang E leaned on Xiao Yi's back, and said softly: "Xianggong has been busy all day, he must be tired, I'll burn my feet for Xianggong." After speaking, he took off his official boots for Xiao Yi and brought a basin of hot water.

In ancient times, men were inferior to women, even if they were married to each other, this was a very normal thing, but Xiao Yi didn't think so, he looked at Huang E's serious appearance, and suddenly helped Huang E up.

"No, I'll be the one to burn my sister's feet today."

Huang E sighed, and then hurriedly waved her hand: "This, how can this be, Xianggong is already a member of the imperial court, how, how can it..."

Xiao Yi took Huang E into his arms and said softly: "Silly girl, no matter what position I do, I will always be your brother Xiao, and you will always be my favorite sister." ”

Huang E hugged Xiao Yi tightly, nodded constantly, smiled happily, tears suddenly appeared, wetting Xiao Yi's clothes, and the two hugged each other for a long time.

……

I don't know how long it took, Huang E suddenly screamed and pushed Xiao Yi away: "Brother Xiao be careful!" ”

The black-clothed man with a cold look in his hand, holding a scimitar that flashed with cold light, suddenly rolled out from under Xiao Yi's bed, and his technique was extremely sophisticated.

If Huang E hadn't discovered and pushed Xiao Yi away in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The man in black was originally going towards Xiao Yi, and the scimitar in his hand was so fast that he couldn't take it back, and it swiped directly behind Huang E.

The white plain clothes on Huang E's back were cut out, and bright red blood flowed out, although there was no fear for his life, but it still shocked Xiao Yi.

"Sister E!"
