Chapter 44: The Young General's Talent
In the year of the great calamity, the plague was prevalent. The capital is full of refugees.
King Joan opened a granary to relieve the refugees, and the trees maintained order in the shed where they built porridge on credit.
A thin old woman was waiting for porridge with two empty bowls, and the little girl who was serving porridge on credit shouted at her, "One person can only get one bowl." ”
The old woman begged, "My old man has a broken leg. I can't come, please ask the uncle to give me an extra bowl. ”
The little girl was reluctant and pushed the old woman out of the line.
Shu'er heard the noise here, came over, asked about the situation, and served two bowls of porridge to the old woman, and the old woman said in a loud voice. "Thank you, thank you, uncle." But his hands trembled and he couldn't hold the bowl.
Shu'er asked the old woman if she lived not far from here, so she personally sent the old woman home.
The old woman's house was empty except for one bed, on which lay her old wife with a broken leg.
Shu'er asked the old man if he had any children. The old man with a broken leg was in tears, saying that he originally had a daughter, and the old man and his daughter had been setting up a stall outside to do a small business, and the family could still live.
Who would have thought that one day, the daughter was helping herself set up a stall outside, and suddenly a group of people came and asked the old man to pay a tael of silver in taxes every day. The old man said that he sold a gadget every day, and he only earned a few pennies.
When they saw that the old man could not afford to pay the money, they robbed the old man's daughter, saying that he would wait until the old man had collected enough money to ransom her.
The old man went to them to reason. He broke his leg and had to rely on the old woman to beg for a living.
After listening to the old man's words, Shu'er's lungs exploded. Who is so bold that under the nose of the emperor in the capital, he dares to loot the people's wealth and rob the people's daughters.
The old man said that he couldn't be provoked, that group of people was the brother-in-law of the prefect of the capital, and he was a person in a martial arts industry who dominated the Quartet.
Shu'er knew that Naha Quartet was dominating one side in the capital and did all the bad things, and he also knew that his brother-in-law was the prefect of the capital, and the prefect of the capital was the younger brother of the princess of Hewangfu, so in order to make less trouble on weekdays, he was also well water and did not violate the river water, and he met a little. But today, I can't ignore this matter when I encounter it.
Shu'er said to the old man. "I also know this tyrant Quartet, I go and beg him to let your daughter out." The old man was very grateful when he heard this.
Shu'er came to the martial arts of the Ba Sifang, and walked straight in without paying attention to the interrogation at the door.
I saw a boss with a cross-faced face, who was gambling with a group of gamblers there.
Shu'er clenched her hands into fists and said. "I've seen the fourth master".
This domineering Quartet is gambling hard, and he doesn't care who it is, and says, "If you have something, say it quickly, don't hinder your fourth master and me from getting rich." ”
"Fourth master, I don't have a big deal, it's just that there is an old man selling gadgets on the street in the capital who has a little relationship with me, and he asked me to help you release his daughter, how much silver does he have to pay, I gave it to you for him."
Ba Sifang listened to what Shu'er said. Throwing down the sieve in his hand and walking over, "Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be for King Qiong's Mansion to take care of the family." ”
Shu'er endured it and continued, "The fourth master gave me a face and let go of the old man's daughter. ”
"Your face?" Ba Sifang spat at the ground. "You're just a watchdog in King Joan's mansion. Why should I give face to the dogs"
Shu'er is the age of blood and strength, and he can stand such an insult, and grabbed the collar of the overlord Quartet. "You dare to scold your master?"
How could this tyrant ever be so angry, "Scold you, I still beat you, come on, break his dog leg for me." ”
Immediately rushed through a few big men and surrounded the trees.
Shu'er has already practiced kung fu. A few people were not Shu'er's opponents at all, and a few people were beaten by Shu'er all over the ground in a few clicks. Ba Sifang was in a hurry to take action in person, but as a result, Shu'er also threw Shu'er out of the way, Shu'er grabbed a knife from Wuxing and aimed it at Ba Sifang, "Hurry up and release people, otherwise I will chop you." ”
Ba Sifang was so scared that his pants peed. Hurry up and ask your men to bring the girl.
After a while, they brought a girl. Shu'er threw Ba Sifang to the ground, patted the dust on his hands, and left without looking back.
The tree sent the girl home. Let the old man take his daughter to live in another place. also gave the old man some silver, and the family was moved to say continuously, "Thank you, thank you, uncle." ”
After Shu'er finished these things, she quietly returned to King Qiong's mansion, and she didn't dare to tell King Qiong.
The next day. The prefect sent officers and soldiers to King Qiong's mansion to arrest Shu'er. King Qiong didn't know what was going on, and asked, "What crime did he commit, and you still dare to come to my King Qiong's mansion to arrest people." ”
The officers and soldiers said, "He smashed the martial arts of the prefect's brother-in-law, and also beat the fourth master and robbed the fourth master." ”
When Prince Joan heard this, he was blindsided. Ask Shu'er, "Are you idle?" I said I didn't see your shadow when I went to the porridge shed yesterday? ”
Shu'er told King Joan what had happened.
"You go with them first," said King Joan to Shu'er. "I'll go to the prefect and ask in a moment. Resolved the matter, after all, it was the people from King He's mansion, and he tried not to tie the knot. ”
The officers and soldiers took away the tree, the nurse wiped her tears anxiously, and Qiu Xun persuaded the nurse, "Don't worry, the tree will be fine." ”
King Qiong and Qiu Xun came to the lobby of the prefect of the capital.
The prefect of the capital is the younger brother of the eldest princess of the He Palace. It is also an official position awarded by the emperor himself. has always been domineering and domineering, and no one cares about it. This time, the brother-in-law came to complain, and when he heard it, he was from King Qiong's mansion. It's also a little apprehensive. The brother-in-law also said that this person was a caretaker of King Qiong's mansion, and the prefect dared to send someone to King Qiong's mansion to arrest people.
Suddenly, the little servant came to report, saying that King Qiong and the princess had come to the prefect's house, and the prefect's adult said. King Qiong didn't come to the prefect in person for a caretaker
The prefect met King Qiong and the princess and exchanged a few words. King Qiong said, "It's because my family law is not strict, and the people in the house have offended the younger brother of the prefect's wife." I also hope that the prefect can have a large number of adults to resolve this matter. ”
The prefect has always relied on King He's Mansion, but he knows that King Qiong's Mansion can't afford to offend, and since King Qiong comes forward, he can only do it and let the tree go.
King Joan thought it was all right. Originally, Shu'er did the right thing, so he didn't say anything more.
The next morning, King He joined King Qiong as soon as he went to court, and the people of King Qiong's mansion bullied people and smashed martial arts, and King Qiong used his power to oppress people and coerce the prefect to release people. Makes King Joan angry, isn't this black and white reversed?
The ministers also talked a lot when they heard this. Some say that King Qiong will not do this kind of thing, and some say that King Qiong has been in a high position in recent years, and the people in the house will also bully others, and it is also possible for King Qiong to protect his shortcomings.
The prefect also often gave gifts to the newly established queen because of the looted people's fat and people's ointment. coaxed the emperor to be happy, and the emperor also favored King He. blamed King Qiong in the court, and King Qiong's face couldn't be hung up.
As soon as I arrived at the house. King Qiong scolded the tree with his head and face, and the tree didn't dare to come out.
Back in the house. Qiu Xun said to King Qiong, "This incident is just an introduction, and the eldest brother is using this matter to slander the reputation of King Qiong's mansion." ”
King Qiong remembered that King He poisoned himself on Chinese New Year's Eve, and thought, "King He is also a thief." With a handle, you can get some right and wrong. ”
"King Qiong, you have been in a high position in the past few years. How could King He be convinced," Qiu Xun continued, "Today's queen is extravagant and spends as much money. King He did what he liked, and often gave the people's fat and people's ointment looted by the prefect of the capital to the queen, which was deeply liked by the queen, and we couldn't help but guard against King Qiong. ”
King Joan nodded.
The new king of the neighboring country in the north ascended the throne, and in order to dominate one side, there was another wolf smoke.
The emperor immediately called the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. King He's faction sought to make peace and quell the war.
King Qiong tried his best to fight the main battle and never back down.
The emperor was afraid that King Qiong would transfer heavy troops to the northern frontier. The capital will not be safe. King Qiong said, "Your Majesty, the capital will be guarded by General Nie Tiancheng, and the capital will be stable and there will be no chaos." ”
The emperor said, "When you go to Northern Xinjiang, General Nie is the deputy general." This time, General Nie was ordered to stick to the capital, who can be the deputy general who guards the northern frontier? ”
"Your Majesty, there is one person who can be promoted, and that is the person in my house who once beat the prefect's brother-in-law. This time, let him make meritorious contributions, and it can be regarded as an explanation from my King Qiong to King He. ”
King Joan regained his face.
In fact, the emperor doesn't want to be close to each other, since he ascended the throne. There is no merit yet, if this time the defense of the northern Xinjiang can win a complete victory, it can also make the imperial court outstanding achievements.
The emperor gave permission to King Qiong's recital.
King Qiong returned to the palace, brought Shu'er, and asked him, "If you were to go to the battlefield and fight the enemy with real swords and guns, would you be afraid?" ”
"I'm not afraid," Shu'er said, "I learned martial arts just to be able to go to the battlefield one day with real swords and guns." ”
"Well done," said King Joan, patting the tree with satisfaction. "The emperor has approved my recital and ordered you to go with me to Northern Xinjiang to quell the war."
Shu'er was overjoyed when he heard it, he had practiced all his skills, and he felt that he couldn't do it all the time, and now he could finally come to the real one. Shu'er couldn't wait to set off with King Qiong to the north immediately.
The nurse heard that her son was going to go with King Qiong to quell the war in northern Xinjiang. It's happy and worried. It is a thousand instructions to the tree.
Qiu Xun also couldn't let go of his heart, and said to King Qiong, "King Qiong, you are not young anymore, so many years have passed. The soldiers in Northern Xinjiang have also changed a lot, and Shu'er is also the first time to fight, not as good as General Nie, so this time to Northern Xinjiang is different from the past, you have to take care more. ”
"Don't worry, Xun'er," King Qiong comforted Qiu Xun, "The tree was personally brought out by me and General Nie, and it won't let me down, no matter how the soldiers in the northern frontier are changed." They were all strictly trained by the training methods prescribed by General Nie and me. You can wait for us to defeat the Japanese and return triumphantly. ”
King Joan and Shu'er are about to set off.
King Qiong is still a silver helmet and silver armor, with a white horse under his crotch, and his majesty is not diminished. Shu'er was dressed in brown armor, sat down on a maroon war horse, a mighty young man, and heroic.
The emperor issued a token. King Qiong, Shu'er led a team of men and horses and galloped to the northern frontier.
