Chapter Forty-Eight: Knocking on the Door (Asking for Collection)
Standing inside is naturally the courtyard of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, and the people standing outside this door are the people of the General's Mansion; I saw these dozens of burly men headed by Peng Hao, standing outside the door brazenly, and the awe-inspiring aura exuded from his body made people feel cold.
The butler looked at the bitterness in his heart, rubbed his face, put on a flattering smile, and crossed the courtyard of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion to greet him. "Hey, the third young master is here, and the old slave is far away. ”
Peng Hao looked coldly at the housekeeper who came out, ignored his flattering flattery, and said coldly: "Invite the Zhongyong Marquis out." ”
The housekeeper looked stunned, and even called the Marquis Zhongyong? Sure enough, this trip was not good! He smiled more and more carefully, and said: "The Hou Ye is not in the mansion, if the third young master has something urgent, he may wish to tell the old slave, and the old slave will tell the Hou Ye word for word." ”
Not in the mansion? What about coaxing the children? Peng Hao had already inquired about the whereabouts of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion before he came, and knew that he was in the mansion now!
Peng Hao's eyebrows were full of frost and stared at the housekeeper. "You didn't understand what I said, or do you want me to go in and find it myself?"
The housekeeper looked at Peng Hao's eyes with a chill down his spine, thinking to himself, why didn't he know that this Peng Hao was also a difficult master?
If he enters the Hou Mansion, then he will be the housekeeper and the first to do it!" "How dare you work the third young master, see that the third young master is drenched in water, at this moment, it is better to go back to the house to change into clean clothes and rest, and when the Hou master comes back, it is not too late for the third young master to come again!" said tactfully and respectfully, but the eviction order in the words was very obvious.
Peng Hao looked at the housekeeper, snorted lightly, hooked his lips and said coldly: "It seems that you slave was in a daze last night and couldn't understand what Young Master Ben said." He sneered. "Young Master Ben will be merciful to you, this minion, to wake up your mind!" The words quickly raised his hand and threw the whip on the butler, this whip did not spare any strength, and ten out of ten of the strength shook the whip on the butler's body, and the skin and flesh suddenly opened.
The housekeeper saw Peng Hao raise the whip and wanted to dodge, but his movements were no faster than Peng Hao, who was a martial artist, the whip fell on his body with a hot pain, howling and dodging, his eyes staring at Peng Hao for fear that he would fall the second whip.
When the nursing home saw Peng Hao throw the housekeeper's whip, they were all shocked, and they didn't blame them for being surprised, because in the past, Peng Hao was extremely modest and kind when he came to the Hou Mansion, and he treated his subordinates with a pleasant face, but he didn't expect to be so angry today, and beat the housekeeper!
As a nurse, their duty is to be indifferent, and they are indifferent to Peng Hao's identity, so they can only step forward to stop him and protect the housekeeper who is wailing and crying in pain.
Zhang Ji shouted with a cold face: "This group of dog slaves dares to beat the third young master, call me back!" After the words fell, dozens of people rushed up.
The nursing courtyard was dumbfounded, when did they start beating Peng Hao? But seeing that people rushed up, they couldn't just stand and be beaten? After a while, the two sides scuffled together.
The nursing home usually only punishes the subordinates who make mistakes, and there is no better than this murderous and bloodthirsty veteran who has retired from the battlefield?
Peng Hao played with the whip in his hand, listening to the endless wailing, and there was no trace of emotion on his cold and heroic slightly immature face.
"Third Young Master, I can't help it, I can't help it. "The housekeeper knows that this matter can't be good, but the Hou Ye sent himself out, and he has to deal with this matter properly, knowing that he can't eliminate Peng Hao's anger, he can only persuade him to stop now, otherwise the face of this loyal and brave Marquis Mansion will be lost.
Peng Hao looked at the housekeeper and said, "Young Master Ben will say it again, go and invite your Hou Ye to come." As he spoke, he raised the whip in his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
The housekeeper looked at the whip in Peng Hao's hand timidly, and his body trembled; this Peng Hao was so resolute that he seemed to know that Hou Ye was in the mansion, and if he didn't invite Hou Ye now, he would be beaten to death by Peng Hao, and if he went back to invite Hou Ye, he would be beaten to death by Hou Ye!
No one on either side dared to open the offense, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he simply fainted with a crooked neck!
Peng Hao looked at it and sneered, and did not dismantle the housekeeper and pretend to be dead, he walked past everyone and walked towards the Hou Mansion, and just after taking two steps, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him from far and near. "Third master, third master. With the shouting, Peng Hao stopped and looked back.
A young man in Tsing Yi rode a horse and galloped over, and when he arrived at the door of the Hou Mansion, the little guy in Tsing Yi turned over and dismounted, came to Peng Hao's side in three or two steps, whispered in his ear for a while, and saw Peng Hao's face change slightly, turned around and left.
As soon as Zhang Ji saw Peng Hao leaving, he thought that there was something important in the house, so he didn't dare to delay, and beckoned the others to leave.
The housekeeper opened his eyes and looked at the crowd that disappeared into the rain, only to feel that his legs and feet were weak, and his heart was cold, and he sat down on the ground.
The nursing homes were also relieved when they saw the group of people gone, covering their injuries and wailing.
After a while, the housekeeper was helped to stand up and go to report to the Hou Ye.
Zhao Shuchang, the Marquis of Zhongyong, looked at the wound on the skin of the butler's arm, his face was blue and black, and he hammered his fist on the table, the table body trembled, and the tea cup on the table made a slight sound.
"Peng Hao'er deceives people too much!" "Dare to come to the door to beat people, really think that the plaque of the royal gift of the loyal and brave marquis is not a decoration?
The housekeeper was whipped and lost people in front of the servants of the Hou Mansion, and he hated Peng Hao very much in his heart, but the power of the General Mansion was huge, and he could still fight back as a Hou Mansion housekeeper? Saying that, he stared at Zhao Shuchang's face, which was really even more ugly, and then said: "Why don't you enter the palace and ask the emperor to make decisions for the Hou Mansion?" Peng Hao is so arrogant, he should be punished!" No matter how powerful the General's Mansion is, dare to ignore the emperor?
Zhao Shu was often stunned, and randomly thought of the cause of the matter, in the final analysis, it was the Hou Mansion that was at fault, and the result of the emperor's lack of favoritism was that both governments had to be reprimanded, and if they favored the general's mansion one or two, then the loyal and brave Hou Mansion would really steal chickens and rice! More importantly, if he sued the emperor, no matter how the emperor judged, there would be no chance of easing the relationship between the two governments!
glared at the butler and secretly said that he had a bad idea. "It's not your turn to teach Ben Hou to do things. ”
The housekeeper saw that Hou Ye did not accept his opinion, and he was reprimanded, his face was scornful, and he nodded yes, knowing that Zhao Shuchang was not doing well today, and his mind was on the verge of anger, so he did not look for scolding here, and found a reason to retreat.
Zhao Shuchang only felt that everything was not going well, and blamed all this unhappiness on Wu Xiaorou and Zhao Qingying, two idiots, and asked them to apologize, but they hurt people in a big way, not only lost the backer of the General's Mansion, but also was beaten by Peng Hao, and lost face, he could imagine the eyes of the courtiers tomorrow!
Moreover, thinking of the plan ordered by the King of Jin.... I'm afraid it's going to be difficult now, if something like this happens, can Wu Xiaorou still invite Peng Mo to post?
"It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose!"
Peng Hao returned to the mansion and quickly changed out of his soaked clothes, briefly freshened up, found a set of soft brocade blue round-necked robes to change into, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong, he went straight to the main hall.
Father-in-law Su was chatting with Peng's and Peng Mo, and when he saw Peng Hao coming in, Father-in-law Su smiled at the two of them, hurriedly stood up and bent over Peng Hao, and shouted politely: "Third young master." "It's a salute.
Peng Hao hurriedly bowed and said apologetically: "I made Gonggong Su wait for a long time." "I only care about the anger of the people in the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, but I forgot that my sister said yesterday that today's holy decree will come to the General's Mansion, and I can't help but secretly scold myself for acting recklessly and ignoring the tail!
Gonggong Su didn't mind, after all, the emperor's decree was in a hurry, and it was normal for Peng Hao to leave the mansion without knowing it, it would be strange if he was dressed neatly and waiting in the mansion; ”
After greeting each other, Father-in-law Su did not forget the business of today's trip, shook off the dust in his hand, pinched his throat and raised his voice: "Peng Hao takes the order." ”
Peng, Peng Hao, and Peng Mo walked to the center of the hall and knelt down respectfully in turn.
"Shuangxia Town is adjacent to one river and two rivers, the rain has fallen frequently recently, I am very worried, and I sent Peng Hao to inspect the river, and set off immediately. After reciting the holy decree, Gonggong Su looked at Peng Hao with a smile.
Peng Hao kowtowed and shouted: "Peng Hao obeys the emperor's orders." Respectfully raised his hands, and Gonggong Su stepped forward and put the holy decree on Peng Hao's raised hands.
Peng Hao stood up with the holy decree in his hand, and after thinking about it, Cao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help Peng and Peng Mo up.
"Okay, the miscellaneous family still wants to report to the emperor, so they will leave. Father-in-law Su looked at the three of them with a smile.
"There's Father-in-law Laosu. Peng said with a smile.
Gonggong Su nodded, and when he turned around, he glanced at Peng Mo, who was standing delicately like an orchid, and said with a smile: "The fourth lady is so good to recuperate. Peng Mo nodded with a smile.
Peng Hao hurriedly put the holy decree properly and sent Gonggong Su out of the house.
Peng waited until Father-in-law Su left, and muttered to himself: "Isn't the construction of the project, Tuntian water conservancy a matter of the Ministry of Industry? Why didn't the emperor send Hao'er to inspect the river instead of courtiers?"
Lian Feng hurriedly helped Peng Mo to sit down, as soon as Dr. Zhu left, Father-in-law Su came to announce the decree, and the young lady hadn't been able to rest yet!
Peng Mo lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, inspecting the river? Such a large rainfall, this reason is reasonable! No one can make a mistake!
Peng Hao sent Father-in-law Su to the gate of the General's Mansion, and the two stopped under the door.
Gonggong Su turned around and looked at Peng Hao, and said meaningfully: "Does the third young master know the true purpose of this trip?"
Gonggong Su heard that Peng Mo had just returned from the palace and was injured by Zhao Qingying, this Peng Hao was furious and went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to ask for an explanation, and I don't know if Peng Mo had the opportunity to inform Peng Hao of the affairs in the palace, and the holy decree was vague, so he asked this question!
Peng Hao didn't expect Gonggong Su to ask this question, he was slightly stunned, and nodded randomly: "I know, please rest assured." ”
The holy decree only said that he would go to Shuangxia Town to inspect the river, and did not talk about the flood.
Father-in-law Su looked at Peng Hao's very stable appearance, nodded with satisfaction, and got into a small sedan chair and left.
Peng Hao stood under the door, lowered his eyes and pondered, the emperor only said that this trip was to inspect the river, but he did not give himself an official position, privileges, and the royal gift on behalf of the emperor's orders, how can he persuade the officials of Shuangxia Town to gather the villagers to a high place to avoid floods?
