"Lord Baihu is polite!" Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair and didn't get up, so he bowed slightly, and then said seriously: "The villain is the steward of the Baishui Ma family, Zhu Ba, on the orders of my young lady, to help deal with some chores in the Zhang family." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who likes to act arrogant, he has always adopted a very low-key attitude when facing the Baishui Ma family, the shirt family, and the county lord Chen Guanyu before, but this time against Ye Yuxuan, he showed strength from the beginning.

Because he knows that soldiers are different from civilian officials, in the face of civilian officials, if you put on a strong posture, it is easy to hurt their face, even if his strength is not as good as yours, he will jump up and bite you and entangle with you. For example, those guys in the Donglin Party have no power in their hands, they can't do anything practical, they have an empty mouth, but they don't admit defeat, they fight with the eunuchs all day long, and they don't admit their mistakes even if they die. For this kind of person, if you keep a low profile, he will be easily influenced by you, and you will be led by the nose with agitation.

But against a ruffian, the weaker you are, the stronger he is. If you are strong, he will shrink his head. Because the ruffians do not read a lot of sage teachings like the civil officials, nor do they pay attention to the meaningless "integrity" as the civil officials, they are more "able to bend and stretch" a little, and when they meet people who are stronger than them, one shrinks faster than the other.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't salute Ye Yuxuan, he didn't even get up from the chair, he just sat with a casual sentence, there were nearly a hundred corpses behind him, and with the momentum of these corpses, a bloody gas rushed out, which frightened Ye Yuxuan with a sound in his heart, and secretly screamed in his heart: It's miserable, I have met a powerful person, this steward seems to be very remarkable, could it be that there is any powerful backstage in the Baishui Horse family? I have to be careful not to offend a big guy.

Ye Yuxuan's heart shrank, and his mouth was naturally not hard, he actually arched his hand, and learned to say very politely: "It turned out to be the steward of the Baishui Ma family, polite, the young man is Ye Yuxuan, a hundred households in Changchong Juntun, I heard that the rebels attacked Zhang's mansion, and specially came to help Zhang's mansion clear the bandits......"

Speaking of which, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, huh? I'm obviously here from Zhang's house, surnamed Zhang, there is a steward of the Ma family sitting here and talking nonsense with me for a long time, what are you doing? Isn't this the bull's head not on the horse's mouth? He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and said strangely: "People from your Ma family, why are you running to the Zhang family?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "Miss Zhang has promised me the second young master of the Ma family, that is, the second young grandmother of my family. ”

"Oh!" Ye Yuxuan felt that this relationship was a bit far away, although the Ma family seemed to be a little strong, but he couldn't manage it too widely, he turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "You guys...... Go to Zhang's Mansion and search carefully to see if there are any hidden thieves, if so, take them all! ”

"Wait!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wait for him to speak, and interrupted: "We have carefully searched the house, and now the dead have been brought out and placed here......" He stretched out his finger and pointed to the corpses side by side in the courtyard and said, "It's all here." ”

"I'm going to have to look again." Ye Yuxuan smiled: "What if there are still those who slip through the net?" ”

"That's not going to work!" Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and said: "The soldiers under the military master are reckless, if they break my family's things, or bring something with them, it will be inappropriate." ”

Ye Yuxuan listened to him talking, suddenly felt impatient, and said loudly: "Hey, you are in charge to make it clear to me, this is the Zhang family, and your steward of the Ma family is always chattering crookedly here, is it annoying?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Master Zhang and Young Master Zhang were unfortunately killed by the rebels, but Miss Zhang is still alive, and all the things up and down this Zhang Mansion should naturally belong to Miss." Miss Zhang married the second young master of my Ma family and became the second young grandmother, and this mansion naturally became the dowry of the second young grandmother...... I am the steward of the Ma family, the dowry of the young grandmother, I can't take care of it, who can? ”

Hey? This guy is eloquent and very troublesome! Ye Yuxuan was taken aback again.

"What if I'm going to search the house today?" Ye Yuxuan sneered.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw him put on a frightened face, and knew that this was the most common technique used by officers and soldiers, as long as he scared you, you would be finished. But if he can't scare you, but he will retreat, this step is the key.

He suddenly stood up from the chair, kicked the chair to the side, waved his hand at the rows of corpses in the courtyard and said, "If you want to search the house, it's very simple, just walk through these corpses...... Let's see if Master Zhang and Young Master Zhang's spirit in the sky will let you pass this hurdle......"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned Ye Yuxuan's attention to the corpses all over the ground. He looked at the corpse, and saw that Zhang Douyao's headless corpse was the first in line, the blood on his neck had congealed, and it looked very terrifying...... Among them, several of the maids who had been bullied to death had not closed their eyes, staring at the sky with a pair of dead eyes...... Although they didn't look at Ye Yuxuan, it made him feel as if they were looking at him......

Oops my mom...... To pass through these corpses? Ye Yuxuan's heart hit the drum, and the soldiers under his command also felt that their legs were weak, and they were a little unsteady on their feet.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the steward named Zhu Ba had been sitting in front of these corpses just now, and he hadn't even frowned, this person was so terrifying! If I had allowed myself to sit in such a pile of corpses, I am afraid that I would have escaped three streets away in disgust.

In fact, this is the difference between having a ghost or not having a ghost in his heart, Ye Yuxuan wants to take advantage of the death of the Zhang family to rob, how can he be calm about the corpse of the Zhang family? If he really just wanted to go in to perform official duties, search for bandits, and avenge the Zhang family, he would naturally not be afraid of these corpses.

But even if there is no ghost in his heart, Zhu Ba can sit in the pile of corpses like this all the time, it is also a very remarkable concentration, Ye Yuxuan's intuition tells him that this person is very terrifying, it is better not to provoke or not to provoke.

He flattened his mouth, shook his head and said, "Forget it, the bandits have been scattered and fled for a long time, and there must be no thieves hiding in Zhang's mansion, so I won't go in to search...... Tell me what happened here, and I'll go back and do it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "The bandits rushed in and killed people when they saw them, and then snatched the gold and silver and fled, it was such a simple matter, it was not complicated at all, there was nothing to talk about." If the military master wants to make a difference, I have a good gift to give. ”

He pointed to the dozens of bandit corpses in the corner of the wall with his hand, and said in a low voice: "These bandits are left by our Zhang family's family desperately, and we don't want to use these corpses to repay our merits, we just hope that we will no longer be disturbed in the future, so we will give these corpses to the military master." ”

"What? Give it to me to repay me? Ye Yuxuan was overjoyed, he could see with a glance that there were at least twenty corpses there, if the heads of these guys were cut off and the merits were played, it would be said that under his own leadership, the soldiers of Changchong Juntun fought bravely to suppress the bandits and captured more than 20 heads of the bandits, which was a good achievement.

During the Apocalypse, thieves were rampant in Shaanxi, and the government had a headache, and the local magistrates were able to hide from the emperor above, and urged them to quell the chaos as soon as possible from the military attachés below. This time, more than 20 heads were reported, and Ye Yuxuan made a lot of money.

"Haha, there is such a good thing, take it out early, I won't say I want to search the house if I bring it early." Ye Yuxuan was overjoyed, and he snorted at several of his soldiers, and the soldiers immediately surrounded him, carried the body of the bandit and left.

Take it out early, you want to search the house! Zhu Yuanzhang actually knew in his heart that if he suppressed Ye Yuxuan first and then gave him these heads, he would give him a sense of surprise and retreat satisfied. If the order is reversed, the result may be that everything will be snatched away by the officers and soldiers.

Ye Yuxuan retreated with satisfaction, Zhu Yuanzhang relaxed his momentum, and he instructed the housekeepers and maids hiding in the room behind him: "Okay, it's okay, you go to rest, dig a big pit tomorrow morning and bury these people, and then pack up the soft belongings at home, bring the house deed and land deed, and go with me to Baishui to find your young lady." ”

The family and the maids were hiding in the house just now, seeing that the officers and soldiers were not good, and they were beating drums in their hearts, and then Zhu Yuanzhang resolved the danger in a few words, and they were relieved, and when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang calling, a group of family maids poured out, knelt in a row in front of him, kowtowed, and said: "Xie Zhu takes care of things, without your words, the officers and soldiers come in and really don't know what the trouble will be, thanks to you." ”

"I didn't do anything either!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a pleasant face: "We will be a family in the future, so we don't need to be so polite." ”

Everyone thanked each other and went back to their rooms to sleep, this was their home, their room was still there, it was quite natural to go back to the house to sleep, only Zhu Yuanzhang had no room in this house, so he lay down in the hall of Zhang's mansion......

The cold moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, the corpses in one place were hideous and terrifying, Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid at all, and he didn't even feel anything, the dead people he had seen in his previous life could fill half of the Yangtze River, what is this hundred corpses?

His mind was racing to calculate today's gains...... did a good deed and helped the maids and family members of Zhang's house, and from beginning to end, there were onlookers watching through the gate of the mansion, and his reputation was going to be louder for a while. Steadily and steadily, he expanded his folk prestige step by step, so that more and more people felt respect and admiration when they heard his name...... A year later, can his reputation surpass that of Baishui Wang II and become the first hero in Baishui County?

When the time comes, he will rise up, raise his arms, and wonder how big a team he can gather?

Just thinking of this, a petite figure suddenly walked in from the side door of the hall, a maid, she held a blanket in her hand, walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in a low voice: "Steward Zhu...... How cold it is for you to sleep in the hall at night, take this blanket and take it......"

Under the moonlight, Zhu Yuanzhang took a closer look, hey, this maid had seen it during the day, she was almost insulted by three homeless people, but fortunately Zhu Yuanzhang and Zheng Yanfu arrived and saved her. It turned out that she had escaped a catastrophe and was one of the seventeen maids who survived.

can think of sending a blanket to Zhu Yuanzhang, which shows that she is a very careful and kind woman. Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself: Is this a good person with a good reward? Hey! In my previous life, I never believed in anything like good people and rewards, but after experiencing a reincarnation, did I begin to believe that there are gods three feet above my head? Well...... If there were no gods, how could I be reincarnated in this world? I'm starting to believe in all this godly stuff too? Haha, how could it be!

He waved his hand at the little maid and said, "Thank you girl for your concern, go back and rest, you must be frightened today......"
