Two house-like crossbows were pushed over, and with the order of the captain of the archery, the long arrows, which were the thickness of a child's thighs and almost the same as a spear, faced the wind, crossed the high wall, and shot in.

I couldn't see anything outside, I only heard a bang, and a puff of green smoke rose inside, followed by a commotion, and the sound was heard clearly by Gu Sheng, who was far away.

"My lord, it's working," the captain immediately frowned.

Gu Sheng also had a smile on his face.

"You've got a good idea."

Due to the extremely long range of the crossbow, the captain had a whim and hooked the oil tank at the tip.

It was transformed by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, and it was not big, but it was twice as powerful.

Just to reduce the size, the canister containing the oil has become much thinner, and the slightest touch will explode at the same time as shattering, shooting fragments in all directions.

This kind of lethality, if it is not really conducive to transportation, and there is no distinction between friends and foes in daily life, Gu Sheng wants to promote it on a large scale.

Seeing Gu Sheng's soft expression, the captain asked, "Is it another wave?" ”

Gu Sheng thought about it, looked behind him, and shook his head, "It's all ready, I'll look at it later, if there is resistance, kill on the spot." ”

This is tantamount to giving these people an excuse to do it.

Everyone drank in unison, and the momentum was like a tiger and a wolf.

In the courtyard, the people who were pierced beyond recognition and drenched in blood were already frightened before they could attack.

They all looked at the head of the house, hoping that he would give in and open the door.

However, to their disappointment, instead of softening, the head of the house tightened his fingers and strode towards the door.

"Master, I can't stay here," the old housekeeper rushed up at the risk of death, hugged the head of the house, and dragged him back with a few people.

"Get out of the way," the head of the house was caught off guard and was hugged.

He struggled hard, and accidentally pulled half a hundred beards, and several of them broke off from them, and his eyes were red with pain.

"Master, you can't go," the old butler endured the pain of being kicked and beaten, and insisted on carrying him to retreat to the hall, calling a few young and powerful juniors, and telling them to take the master out, but he put on the brocade robe prepared in the morning, put on a golden crown, and imitated the head of the house, and made a dignified and self-contained appearance.

The crowd slowly leaned over from the ground and around it.

The old butler looked around and saw their twinkling eyes, "If you don't want to stay, let's go." ”

"But I only have one thing, and I will never reveal the location of the head of the family."

"You can do it?"

Life and death are a matter of life, and no one will deny it as if they were stupid.

Everyone nodded hurriedly, and with the acquiescence of the old butler, they fled in embarrassment.

At this point, the gate was already crumbling to the ground.

This gate was just reinforced by them last year, and the foundation of the door frame alone was nearly a foot deep, not to mention that all kinds of mud and rice milk were poured later.

According to the knowledgeable old craftsman, even if a hundred horses collide with each other at their gate, they don't know a bit.

But now, before a quarter of an hour their doors were broken.

Looking at the soldiers who rushed over with a fierce light, the old butler's heart was very calm.

He held the handle of the knife and looked coldly at Gu Sheng, who came over with someone, with the knife around his neck, "If you want food, don't dream, I'd rather it rot in the ground." ”

With that, he wiped his neck vigorously.

The pain struck, and he didn't know anything.

When I woke up again, everything around me was foggy, my voice was foggy, my vision was foggy, and even my feelings were foggy.

"Where is this?"

He thought he was loud, but he heard it very little.

No one around him paid attention to him, and he waited for a while, but no one came, so he had to get up by himself.

Just as soon as I moved, my neck began to hurt.

He touched it and found that his neck was tied with a bandage, and a trace of doubt flashed in his mind, there are also people in the Yama Hall who take care of this?

Just as he was thinking, someone came from the side, and the man came around, and when he saw that the old butler was awake, he turned his head and shouted, and almost immediately, several people rushed over.

Without saying a word, they grabbed the man and went straight out.

The old butler passively went out, and only then did he realize that what he thought was hazy was a huge gauze screen.

And he was trapped in layers of screens, and the hazy voices he thought were those in the house under guard.

Naturally, what he thought didn't exist, he was still alive and tightly guarded.

When those people saw the old butler looking over, those people looked evasively, and they refused to look over.

When the old housekeeper saw this, his heart sank.

He stared back sternly and viciously, but these people didn't even dare to look at the afterglow, and he was staring at him in vain.

The old butler was closely guarded, and when he was sure that the other person was alive, he immediately moved to a room where there were no sharp objects.

The old butler had spent most of his life in this huge mansion, and he would never have imagined that one day he would be imprisoned in a small private vault that he personally supervised.

The warehouse had already been emptied by Gu Sheng and them, and there was not even a needle left in the room more than ten zhang wide and narrow.

The soldier threw the man inside, making sure that he was not capable of knocking himself to death, and then closed the door and went out.

The old butler stood in the middle of the storeroom in a daze, looking at the traces on the ground that had not been cleaned up.

Just by looking at that, he could clearly point out what was there.

He followed the traces and walked slowly, thinking in his heart that this former owner of Neku, who had followed him since he was a child.

These soldiers rushed too fiercely, and the time left for the head of the house was not very sufficient, even if the old housekeeper had prepared in advance, even if this was their territory, the old housekeeper was very unconfident in facing this group of people who were like locusts.

There was a faint sound of soldiers talking outside, and the old butler rushed to the door to hear what they were saying.

Unfortunately, they spoke very quickly and with a thick accent, and the old butler felt as if he had heard every word, but he did not understand what it meant.

It was a day and a half when the door was closed, and when it opened again, the old butler was already so hungry that he collapsed to the ground.

The soldier came over with his meal, and when he saw him looking at him with bright eyes, he immediately smiled.

"Eat."

He put the bowl and bun on the ground and got up and went out.

The old butler struggled to hold the man, but he was so hungry that he had no breath in his hands and feet, and before he could sit down, the door was locked and he walked away.

The old butler sat for a while, and sorrow came from it.

He has lived here for most of his life and has long regarded this place as his home.

I never thought that one day he would be locked up in the storeroom at home, and even those who stutter would have to be given alms.

Tears poured out of my eyes.

His heart was sore, so he thought that there was no one on the left and right, so he simply began to cry.

Just as he was crying silently, the door slammed open.

Yuan Bao'er walked past the soldiers and walked in.

"Old man, you have suffered," Yuan Bao'er spoke softly as soon as she entered the door, and bent down to help the old butler up, and then scolded the soldiers, "There is not even a bed here, how can people live?" ”

The soldier was also very aggrieved, "It's not that I don't want to give it to him, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to think about it and look for shortcomings." ”

Yuan Bao'er was stunned, and seemed to have just seen the bandage on the old housekeeper's neck.

"You," she pursed her lips and didn't continue.

The old butler tilted his head slightly, a little embarrassed, and at the same time, there was also a trace of awkwardness in his heart.

He withdrew the elbow that was being held by Yuan Bao'er, and turned his head with a faint expression.

Yuan Bao'er coughed dryly, and calmly ordered the soldiers to rearrange this place, and explained that they must let the military doctor come to take care of it, and there must be no mistakes.

There is no soldier in the past.

Yuan Bao'er nodded, and said to the old housekeeper kindly: "You can relax and live." ”

After she finished speaking, she was ready to leave.

The old housekeeper was afraid that she would leave, so he hurriedly said, "What about them?" ”

Yuan Bao'er was a little puzzled: "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Ye Family Master?"

When the old housekeeper heard this, his brain exploded, his identity was exposed, and obviously the news of the head of the family was not guaranteed.

Those who went to send the head of the family were all posteriors, and they hadn't experienced anything at all, and they didn't recruit anything if they were scared?

"You think," he said, in a hurry, biting his tongue and his face changed.

Yuan Bao'er was also startled when she saw the blood on the corner of his mouth.

"Old man, don't worry, speak slowly."

The old butler relieved himself for a moment, and waited until the pain had passed.

"What did you do to him?"

"It's not good," Yuan Bao'er smiled, "You are old and recuperating here, as long as you don't want your life, there is a solution, you don't have to worry so much." ”

She smiled and strode out.

The old housekeeper wanted to say more, but the soldier stopped him, and when Yuan Bao'er walked away, he grabbed the person away, "It's almost there, don't give face, stay here honestly." ”

Yuan Baoer is an adult, she is willing to give face to this bad old man, he can't stop it, but if she wants him to give it too, it is a dream.

The soldier leaned at him without saying anything, and turned his head and left.

"Master, no, the Ye family master was also arrested?"

The old butler asked anxiously.

The soldier snorted, not even bothering to reply.

The door slammed shut, and the room became dark again.

The old housekeeper could only touch the darkness and touch the food from memory.

As he picked up the bowl, the door opened again, and the soldier brought in a long couch.

The old housekeeper had the impression that Master Ye had injured his waist back then. He specially complied with the doctor's instructions and let people beat him.

One of the characteristics of that couch is that it is hard.

It is hewn out of solid wood, and the whole couch is a piece of wood, which means that it is round and complete.

Back then, because of this, he was also praised by the head of the Ye family and the old lady of the previous family, and it was also because of this sincerity and carefulness that he was valued by Master Ye and climbed to his current position step by step.

However, this couch was put away after Master Ye's waist was healed, but he didn't expect that one day, he would also use it.

The old housekeeper was full of emotion in his heart, and the soldier put his things away, and wanted to put a candlestick, but after thinking about it, he gave up, and then threw away the bed and bedding, even if he called a bad call.

In the small courtyard next to the main courtyard, Gu Sheng and Yuan Bao'er were talking, and when they heard the soldiers coming back and forth, saying that the matter was done, Yuan Bao'er agreed with a smile.

Gu Sheng was very unimpressed, "You just have to get that." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled, "We and the Ye family haven't reached the point of irreconcilability yet. ”

"Speaking of which, the Ye family has already paid the price for their recklessness, and now that they have Lord Liu and Lord Han as guarantors, it doesn't matter if they let them go."

Gu Sheng snorted and reminded, "Don't forget, I killed his son-in-law." ”

Yuan Bao'er didn't care, "Compared with the family, a foreign surname, if the Ye family really cares, they won't ask someone to make peace." ”

Gu Sheng didn't say anything more.

The fact is that the fist is not as hard as anyone else, and if you want to survive, you can only eat dumb and admit it.

"Don't forget, they gave the army three months' rations, as well as a subsidy for next year's cloth guards."

Gu Sheng's expression changed, and he finally stopped talking at all.

With the change of the law, the treatment of cloth guards also decreased gradually.

Brother Yuan also thought of Gu Sheng, and he never touched the treatment of the upper layer of cloth and guards, but the bottom one was only enough to feed his stomach.

Those talents are the cornerstone of Bu Yiwei, Gu Sheng didn't want his brothers to suffer, so he tried his best to help them get subsidies.

However, the previous year's wars and frequent events in various places have made it impossible for the treasury to be completely replenished.

Gu Sheng didn't want Brother Yuan to have a bad impression of cloth hygiene, and it was not good to ask him for something.

He can't watch his brothers suffer, so he tries his best to make up for it.

But they were originally shallow, even if they had money, but in the face of such a huge organization as Buyiwei, it was still a drop in the bucket.

There was no way, Gu Sheng could only shoot at those officials who always had some guards when doing things.

When you come and go, if you want to solve something, you will be ready for all kinds of subsidies and filial piety.

This is also a tacit thing.

Like this time, the Ye family suffered such a catastrophe, and the head of the Ye family escaped, so he wanted his in-laws to ask for help.

The family made friends several times before they could talk to Gu Sheng, and there was a scene where Yuan Baoer specially visited the old housekeeper before.

This old housekeeper was specially mentioned by the two adults, saying that the reason why the head of the Ye family was willing to sue for peace was also because of this old housekeeper.

Gu Sheng's background determines his attitude towards his subordinates.

This also made it impossible for him to understand the thoughts of the Ye family master.

On the contrary, Yuan Bao'er, who is the same sister as Cui, can better understand his mood.

However, Gu Sheng didn't understand, but he was not stubborn.

After the Ye family master reached his expectations, he did not hesitate to let one or several people go.

The old housekeeper didn't know what was going on, and thought that something had happened to the head of the house, and he was worried for several days, even if the food and bedding were all ready, he was still sick.

Yuan Baoer learned about it and hurriedly went to find a military doctor.

"How's he doing?"

The military doctor shook his head, "Heart disease still has to be a heart medicine doctor, and I can only prescribe a few doses of medicine for him, but whether it can be better or not depends on himself." ”

Those who can be selected by Gu Sheng to accompany the army have superb medical skills.

But no amount of skilled doctors can cure such a disease.

He handed the house to the soldier and walked away with the medicine box.

Yuan Baoer took advantage of the interval between the decoction and went over to see the old housekeeper.

"How are you feeling, and what's wrong with you?"

She asked softly.

The old housekeeper opened his heavy eyes and smiled at Yuan Bao'er, "When you are older, your body will naturally be worse." ”

"Keeping me will only drag me down, so let me fend for myself."
