Chapter 377: Tragedy
In the clear and shiny diorama, a pair of plain hands slowly comb the green silk. Xiaoxue's hair is very long, with slight waves, soft and moist, spread out, and the wide side is more supple than satin.
Brother Ke has always liked to stroke his long hair, and whatever sweet words he said, he swore that he had run out......
Thinking of Zhang Ke, Xiaoxue's face bloomed with an indescribable sweetness. Women are delicate flowers, men are gardeners, without watering, no matter how gorgeous flowers will decay and wither.
Zhang Ke has been back for more than ten days, Xiaoxue's smile is more than in the past year, it is all gorgeous, if the days continue to continue, how good it would be!
The woman chuckled.
"Tell me what you're happy about."
A familiar voice came, Xiaoxue hurriedly turned around, and Zhang Ke walked in from outside wearing a muslin robe.
Unlike those dignitaries who like brocade silk and are prosperous and gorgeous, Zhang Ke likes to wear cloth clothes the most, and it is best to be new, soft and close to the body, ventilation and heat dissipation, and the most comfortable.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhang Ke is a thrifty and self-denying Taoist gentleman, when it is time to spend money, he is never soft, for example, although he came back hastily this time, he still bought a lot of rare things from Japan, North Korea, and even the West, jewelry, exquisite table clocks and pocket watches, Western toys, which can fill several rooms, from the old lady to the baby son, all have a share.
When Xiaoxue saw Zhang Ke* coming back, she hurriedly put the comb aside and asked in a low voice, "Yan'er is sleeping?" ”
"Well, that little ancestor doesn't sleep, how dare I come back!"
Zhang Ke sat on the bed with his buttocks, and Xiaoxue stood behind him intimately, gently rubbing his stiff shoulders.
"Alas, coaxing children is more tiring than fighting, it's really embarrassing for you!"
Xiaoxue smiled: "Do you know the difficulty of women? But Brother Ke, don't be too spoiled by children, you should take care of it. People say that my father is strict and my mother is kind, but I was asked to do it with a black face, which is not good! ”
Zhang Ke smiled and grabbed Xiaoxue's hand, like nephrite, smooth and comfortable.
"Hehe, I'm a father, I can't accompany the child for a few days all year round, if I give him a black face again, wouldn't it be too much of a failure? Besides, I'm the father. Can Yan'er be bad in the future? ”
Zhang Ke's words were full of strong confidence, but Xiaoxue was not as happy as usual.
Turning around slightly, he sat opposite Zhang Ke.
"Brother Ke, it's not easy to be an official, right?"
"It's not easy, just now my mother called me over and asked a lot of things, this time it's Mrs.'s turn to teach a lesson, what kind of reprimand. Just say it! ”
"Brother Ke, you are the eldest master, the slave family doesn't dare to talk too much!"
"Hahaha, it's non-toxic. It is also my fault that always makes you afraid. ”
Seeing Zhang Ke's sincere tone, Xiaoxue became bold and groaned for a long time. said: "Brother Ke, is it that the court is suspicious of you, so let Sun." Sun Ge came to Liaodong? ”
Zhang Ke sighed and said with a smile: "It's really a good thing not to go out, and evil things to go a thousand miles, even you know it?" ”
"People are not fools!" Xiaoxue glanced at Zhang Ke and said, "I transferred you to southern Liaoning, Yizhou and Guangning were handed over to Sun Gelao, even if you are a fool, you can see it." ”
This time it was Zhang Ke's turn to be surprised, he knew that Tianqi was suspicious of him, and at this time he had a direct conflict with Sun Chengzong, fell out, and fought for the saint's family. If one day a decree is made and you are transferred, it will be really difficult to do.
Therefore, he deliberately pretended to be honest and obedient, and never said a bad word about Sun Chengzong in front of outsiders. Zhang Ke thought he was doing a very good job, but he didn't expect Xiaoxue to be able to see through it at a glance, is his acting ability so bad?
Zhang Ke couldn't help but be discouraged, Xiaoxue saw that he didn't speak, and her little heart rose again.
"Brother Ke, she is a stupid girl, she shouldn't talk too much."
Zhang Ke smiled slightly, reached out to stop Xiaoxue's shoulder, and held her in his arms.
"Xiaoxue, you said that one day I will become selfish, bent on fighting for power and profit, regardless of the life and death of the people, regardless of the overall situation of the world, conspiracy and calculation, despicable and shameless villain, you, what will you think of me?"
"No, it won't!" Xiaoxue said violently as if she had been electrocuted: "Brother Ke, you are not that kind of person? ”
"I mean, what if......"
"No!" Xiaoxue stretched out her jade hand, blocked in front of Zhang Ke, and said firmly: "Brother Ke, you are not, never will be!" ”
Xiaoxue lay on her husband's chest, her hands tightly wrapped around his neck, and her eyes were full of affection.
"Brother Ke, you are a great hero who saved the people of Liaodong and defeated Jiannu, a great hero! Turning the tide, the battle achievements are brilliant, compared to Xu Da, Chang Yuchun is even more majestic! You are my husband, Yan'er's father, our pride. No matter how stupid Xiaoxue is, she won't be wrong! ”
As he spoke, tears flowed down his face, and after a while, he soaked through his clothes.
Zhang Ke gently stroked Xiaoxue's long hair, patted her shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "Everyone who is an official knows that civil officials are embroidered with birds, and military generals are beasts, and together they are well-dressed beasts, and when you are an official in the Ming Dynasty, don't want to be a good person!" ”
"No, Xianggong is wearing a unicorn suit, it's a rui beast, it's different from them!" Xiaoxue said stubbornly.
"Hahaha, others rely on the teachings of the saint to be a good official, and Zhang Ke to be an official depends on the lessons of a good wife, don't worry, I know it in my heart."
"Really?"
"Naturally, it's true, Xue'er's words are much more useful than Kong Lao'er!" Zhang Ke said, a tiger pounced on food, pressed Xiaoxue under him, the long night, you have me, I have you, blended together......
"Lord Qiqi, guests are here."
Zhang Ke waved his hand lazily and said, "Didn't I confess, I didn't see anyone, and sent me ......"
His subordinates looked embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, it's not easy to stop!" ”
"This is my home, what can't I stop?"
At this time, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came.
"Dingliao Hou, Brother Yongzhen, Cheng Xiu is in a hurry, please don't be surprised, I will make amends to you!"
As he spoke, a tall official walked in from the outside, with a bright red second-grade official uniform conspicuous to the outside, followed by two retinues behind him, one of whom held a golden Shang Fang sword in his hand.
When Zhang Ke saw it, he hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "It turned out that Lord Qincha was here, please forgive Zhang Ke for being rude!" ”
Cui Chengxiu smiled: "It's me who came recklessly, Brother Yongzhen." Is there any good tea, I'll ask for a bowl to drink. ”
"I don't have good tea, but I have cocoa that Westerners drink."
Hearing the Westerners, Cui Chengxiu was startled, and hurriedly said: "Yongzhen, what is the name of what I drank in Beijing, coffee, not to mention how unpleasant it is." ”
"That's no added sugar!" Zhang Ke smiled: "Add a little more honey to Master Cui." ”
After a while, the maid brought a cup of cocoa.
Cui Chengxiu took a sip gently, it was really mellow and sweet. And it's also very refreshing and refreshing.
"It's a good thing, Brother Yongzhen just will enjoy it."
"If Master Cui likes it, go back and have someone send it to you, as much as you want."
Cui Chengxiu took two more sips and said with a smile: "Brother Yongzhen is really generous, but if you want to rely on this thing, send me away, it's impossible!" ”
Zhang Ke's eyes widened in anger. Angrily said, "Brother Cui, do you still want to blackmail you?" ”
"Hahaha, Brother Yongzhen, you're really right. I'm just a dog skin plaster, put it on, don't even think about taking it off! ”
"Humph!" Zhang Ke slapped the table angrily and sneered: "Brother Cui." I'm hospitable, but you want me to be a rafter, no way! ”
Since Cui Chengxiu left Beijing. Zhang Ke knew that he was here to investigate Sun Chengzong. A scholar, a pavilion elder, behind one is Qingliu Donglin, and the other is Wei Zhongxian......
How they want to pinch is their business. Zhang Ke is no longer the same as a few years ago, he has enough capital in his hands to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Cui Chengxiu wanted to pull him into the water, but it was impossible!
Cui Chengxiu saw that Zhang Ke's face was ugly, so he simply played the scoundrel to the end.
"There are no doors and no windows, Brother Yongzhen, you have to know my difficulties."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Brother Yongzhen, I won't tell you, Sun Ge Lao is the emperor's master, I will investigate that he is the birthday star who eats arsenic - looking for death! But I can't help but listen to Grandpa Wei's orders, little brother, I am the mouse of the bellows, and I don't please both ends. ”
Zhang Ke didn't mean any sympathy, and laughed.
"Brother Cui, after taking on this errand, you still want to play tricks at both ends, isn't this a dream? I advise you to enforce the law impartially and seek truth from facts. Do practical things and tell the truth, maybe you can save your future, otherwise, Benjue will not let you go! ”
The Chu and Han dynasties fought each other, and it became the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and there was another in-law, and the little daughter-in-law was even more difficult to do.
Cui Chengxiu grabbed Zhang Ke's shirt, and her eyes were red.
"Brother Yongzhen, others don't know, don't I know yet, Liaodong is your territory. If you want to investigate Sun Ge Lao, if you don't help, my little arms and legs have no military power at all, and I haven't been eaten alive? If you don't help me, I'll ......."
"What about you?"
"I'll stay in your house and won't leave!"
Zhang Ke was angry with him, and said with a smile: "If you don't go, you won't go, if you don't go, I'll go, Benjue came back this time to relocate the weapons workshop, and in a few days, I will sail out to sea and go to Jinzhou." If Master Cui doesn't dislike it, it's okay to live in the house for as long as you want, I can afford it! ”
You can afford it, but I can't afford it!
Cui Chengxiu scolded in his heart, he hadn't seen him for two years, Zhang Ke had become so slippery! If you carry everything on your own shoulders, you may have a lot of trouble in the future.
But what can he do, Zhang Ke just won't go into the water!
Just when Cui Chengxiu was scratching his ears and cheeks, not knowing what to do, suddenly Du Qing hurriedly ran in from outside, holding a secret report in his hand and sending it to Zhang Ke.
"What's the big deal?"
"Master Hou, take a look for yourself."
Zhang Ke opened the secret report and looked at it carefully. From his shoulder, a big head stretched out, Cui Chengxiu squinted his eyes and watched together.
“…… According to the investigation of the matter, Yuan forcibly levied 15,000 people, and the original households in Hua'er Camp were only 8,000, and there were two dings per household, which was not enough. More than a dozen villagers pleaded for mercy, but they were severely beaten. The people were angry and defended themselves. Yuan actually ordered his subordinates to bombard Zhuang Qiang with cannons. Wherever the shells passed, the people were rotten and died on the spot, the officers and soldiers entered the villages, looting and looting, walking like dogs, the people ran and howled, and the tragic situation was better than the attack of Jiannu......"
"Damn, what do they want to do?" Zhang Ke slapped the table hard, shaking the teapot and flying high.
Cui Chengxiu was shocked and actually bit his tongue, but he didn't care, and his heart blossomed.
"Can you Zhang Yongzhen endure it now?" (To be continued......) R1292
