"Xiaolian is my mother's sister-in-law, and she is about to become the concubine of the lower official, so it doesn't seem very suitable to go back to Qincha. You Han officials, you like to talk about a etiquette the most, isn't it good to bring such a little girl back home? ”

From the beginning, Cen Meng was overly concerned about Cen Lian's performance, but now he has found the answer. But Cen Lian didn't buy it, although she drank a lot of wine, her eyes were a little dull, and when she heard the word "concubine", she still shouted, "Who is your concubine?" You are my brother-in-law, and only my brother-in-law, when did I promise to marry you? Why do you care about me? ”

"The marriage is discussed between me and my father-in-law, and it's none of your business."

"Who I want to marry, I have the final say, what does it mean that it is not my business?"

"Qincha, even if you don't mention the matter of the concubine's room, it's not convenient to bring such a girl back to your line, right? If you want to say something, you can talk here, and if you want to send her something, you can send someone. Xiaolian is young, she doesn't understand many things, I have to take care of her, if something happens to her, I can't explain it in front of my father-in-law and wife. Please give the subordinate a face, if you really want to find it, you can pick a few of those female soldiers to bring back at will, even if you stay with you, I can call the shots. ”

"Cen Tongzhi, what you said is too serious, who do you think of this official, and who do you think of Sister Lian? The official said, after recognizing this girl, not to mention accepting a gift from my good sister, he naturally wanted to give her a gift in return. But I didn't have anything with me, so I had to go back to the house to get it, so don't think too much about it. I took this person with me, and I personally sent her back before dark, and promised not to let her spend the night outside. I believe that no one will make irresponsible remarks, and there will be no harm to the reputation of Sister Lian. ”

Cen Lian was originally dissatisfied with Cen Meng, and when she heard that he was bringing her family, her heart relaxed, he had a wife at home, and he would not suffer. Seeing Yang Chengzu speaking for himself, he took his arm and walked out, turning his head as he walked, and grimacing at Cen Meng. Shen Xiyi coughed dryly and arched her hand towards Cen Meng, "Brother Cen Meng, you should believe me as a person, I promise to send Miss Lian back, and nothing will happen." ”

"Brother Shen, you are the most honored guest in our village, and everyone recognizes your name. I will definitely believe what you promise, but I hope you will keep your word and not even ruin your reputation. ”

When this group of people left the camp gate, they saw that the 3,000 new troops were still in a large formation, and as long as there was the slightest movement in the camp, they were afraid that they would cover up and kill them. With such a soldier as the backing, Cen Meng really didn't dare to forcibly keep people, so he had to return to the camp with hatred, and passed down a few orders, asking some fine characters in the wolf soldiers to go to the city to find people, and be sure to find a way to bring Cen Lian back.

Cen Lian drank a lot of wine, and it was not convenient to ride a horse, but Huo Qiu was still a fine person, and when he was still competing in the barracks, he quietly got a carriage over. Shen Xiyi made a gesture to Yang Chengzu and invited him aside, "Qincha, what gift do you want to give to Miss Lian, and the last general is willing to be responsible for handing it over." To tell the truth, the last general, Cen Lian's brother and Cen Meng are all sworn brothers. Miss Lian is no different from my own sister. She stayed with me for a while, but she wouldn't cause too much discussion, and Cen Meng wouldn't be too careful. ”

"What? General Shen is ready to interfere in the private affairs of his own officials? Yang Chengzu looked at him with a sneer, "Is this Lotus girl Cen Meng's concubine, or your concubine?" Besides, if I accepted her as a concubine, what's the matter? ”

Shen Xiyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a straight face: "Qincha, the lower officials don't dare to talk more about your private affairs, but the matter involves Cen Meng Cen Zhang, this is not a private matter, but a public matter, even if you don't like to listen, the lower officials have the courage to say a few more words." In your eyes, Cen Zhang is probably loyal, and Cen Meng is treacherous. However, in the eyes of Xia Guan, the two are just a raccoon dog, and there is no difference. Although Cen Zhang took the initiative to change the land and return to the stream, and change the local official to a liuguan, he was still in charge of returning to Shunzhou, but he could wantonly bully the local officials by relying on his status as a liuguan. Zhen'an and naturalization are feuds, Cen Zhang changed the land and returned to the stream, not loyal to the court, but to take advantage of the court's power to avenge himself. ”

"This person relied on his status as a rogue official, took advantage of the situation to bully others, and announced personal vendettas. In the eighth year of Hongzhi, he broke through Zhen'an, took away the palm seal Gongren as his wife, seized Ji and Chengertong, and attacked the government twice in the same year, first killing Cen Duo, the official of the mountain, and accepting his wife as a concubine. Later, he attacked Huatong again, annexed its land, captured Cen Duozi Cen Zi, and forced him to join the army. In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, he killed Cen Jin, the prefect of Zhen'an. In the thirteenth year of Zhengde, he killed Cen Zi, who had already been recruited as a son-in-law, and completely annexed Huatong as his own territory. Judging by his means, he is an out-and-out old fox, if he marries to contain Cen Meng, it is like raising a tiger to fight against a wolf, I am afraid that all the toasts in Guangxi will not have a peaceful birthday. ”

"According to General Shen, it seems that Cen Meng is a good person? In my opinion, no matter how bad Cen Zhang is, he is the toast who took the initiative to change the land and return to the stream. Isn't it wrong to call it for revenge, the natives of Zhen'an Mansion were beaten so badly by him, why didn't they also change their land and become a stream official? If that's the case, how can Cen Zhang bully them. If you can't beat Cen Zhang, and you don't want to surrender, you can only say that you deserve it. The standard of this official is very simple, whoever supports the reform of the land, I will support whomever I support. Even if he is an old fox, his son may not be a little fox, and in the future, his land will sooner or later become the land of the imperial court. On the contrary, it is Cen Meng, if he changes the land in Tianzhou and Ensi, do you think he will agree? It's good that you can see what the official thinks, remember, make a lot of money in a muffled voice, and don't be a smart person who annoys people. ”

Shen Xiyi remembered the conversation with the old man last night, and admired the other party's decision in her heart, and the layout of this Qincha really wanted to change the land and return to the stream. In the final analysis, Cen Lian is just a chess piece of his.

"Qincha, the last general's family has been serving as officials for generations, and he is very clear about the sufferings of the local people. Most of the thieves in Guangxi are Yao Dong people under the rule of liuguan, and there are many fewer people under the jurisdiction of local officials. Because the people are afraid of the local officials, but not the rogue officials, if the land is changed in Guangxi, I think Guangxi will fall into the flames of war, and the people of Li will have no peace, and the whole situation will be out of control. Xia Guan dared to say, Qin Cha, you can't lose a big one, and you shouldn't harm Miss Lian's life. ”

Yang Chengzu sneered, "Zijiang, I believe that you are very familiar with these natives, and what you say is also from the public heart." It's a pity that I'm not from Guangxi, so there is an advantage that when I look at problems, I am not bound by emotions. What you hope is that Guangxi maintains the status quo, and what I hope is that Guangxi cars are on the same track, the text is the same book, all of which comply with the laws of the imperial court, and there are no people outside the country. Under the whole world, it is not the land of the king, and there should be no soil emperor in the land of the Ming Dynasty. If you have any ideas, you can communicate with me at any time, but you can't stand in the way of my decision. ”

"Xia Guan has already made a guarantee in front of Cen Meng."

"Then you're probably going to break your promise, I'm sorry. By the way, if I want to accompany my sister Lian today, I won't invite you to dinner, and I don't welcome you in my line, so you don't have to go to see me, so as not to eat closed-door soup. ”

After he said this, he stopped negotiating with Shen Xiyi, turned his head and got into the carriage, and Leng Feishuang stretched out his arm expressionlessly, preventing Shen Xiyi from continuing to talk to Yang Chengzu.

Inside the carriage, Cen Lian had closed her eyes and seemed to be about to fall asleep. As soon as Yang Chengzu got into the car, she immediately opened her eyes, and she didn't know when she had an extra dagger in her hand. It wasn't until she saw that it was Yang Chengzu who got into the car that she let out a sigh and put away the colorful short blade again.

"Sister Lian is really good, she has drunk so much wine, as soon as I get in the car, you still notice it."

"What is this little wine, even if I drink so much, I will not get drunk...... Uh," she said, burping. Smiled embarrassedly

"I've drunk a lot, and when we get to the angel's brother's line, we can continue drinking. By the way, you bring your family, I can drink with my sisters-in-law. I brought this dagger to guard against that bastard thing of Cen Meng, who is the big badass. I already have a sister, and I'm not satisfied, and I'm still beating my idea, it's so bad that I go home. ”

"That's right, he's a big villain, dare to beat my sister Lian's idea, brother help you clean him up, okay? Don't be afraid, with my brother here, no one can bully you, just leave everything to me. As he spoke, he grabbed Cen Lian's hand again and held it tightly. A green fruit, crumbling on the branches, was about to be plucked by a big hand, chewing it to the bone.
