Chapter 633: Doubts
The Great Zhou had trade contacts with the northern Nuer Gandusi, and the most important goods were naturally inseparable from food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and for the Tatars who did not know how to use iron ore, things like iron pots were their favorite objects.
The Great Zhou court was afraid that the Tatars would melt these iron pots and use them to make weapons, so they did some tricks, and the iron ore used to fire the iron pots was very poor, and even if they were used to make weapons, they could not be tough and durable.
Later, the surrounding frontier was in turmoil, and the Tatars also had the intention of disturbing the border, so they sold defective products to them under the pretext of "Zhou treachery", and they had to lead the army to attack the city.
The defenders of the important towns in the north knew the Tatars' thoughts, and it was impossible for them to really attack the fortresses, and it was very likely that they would attack the east and the west and go to capture some small cities.
It was the middle of winter, it was extremely cold, the sea was frozen, and there were many small islands in the northeast that had lost their natural dangers, and if there was a real war, the Tatars would inevitably attack those islands.
Sure enough, the Tatars suddenly attacked the island and engaged the Great Zhou army.
At that time, Ma Dudu went to the rescue, fought bloody battles with the defenders, vowed not to surrender, Ma Dudu's second son died in battle, and sent the eldest son out to ask the Li family for help, the Ma family had a good official reputation, and was quite supported by the people, but unfortunately when Li Xu expanded to the east, the Ma family obstructed it and became a stumbling block for Li Xu.
The Ma family's loyalty to the court cannot be shaken, and if Li Xu ignores it, he can be regarded as getting rid of the thorn in his eye through this incident.
But Li Xu is not such a person, he can't strengthen himself at the cost of the lives of the people and soldiers, and he will definitely be questioned in the future.
Mrs. Li asked her to go to the families of the merchants and let them go around to tell their grievances, and the iron that the court asked the merchants to send was not originally a secondary iron, but was replaced by the people of the guard, and the officials of the guard were thus filled with their own pockets, and now they were discovered by the Tatars, who not only imprisoned their relatives, but also caused war.
The situation at that time was complicated, originally because of the Tatar sudden attack, many merchants were captured by the Tatars, if they could make good use of the merchants' female dependents, just to stir up the situation, the Li family could also take advantage of this without helping General Ma.
It was Miss Li who came up with the idea, and Mrs. Li asked her to discuss it under the pretext that she didn't understand this, and she naturally disagreed, if Ma Dudu was really a greedy person who was afraid of death, and the enemy abandoned the people when he came to the city, or if he was greedy and stupid and usually committed many injustices, she would not be too opposed to using some means against such people.
However, Ma Dudu defended the city to the death, so that the people on the island would not be slaughtered, what is the difference between dealing with a loyal and good general in this way and the person behind the scenes?
Not only could she not fall into the well at this time, she felt that Li Xu should also send troops to save Ma Du Du and the people, if Ma Du Du was willing to be loyal to Li Xu because of this, it would be an unexpected joy, if Ma Du Du was still the same as always, it was also his duty.
She spoke her mind.
Mrs. Li had no idea and turned her head to look at Miss Li.
Miss Li asked her coldly if it was because Ma Dudu had dealings with several lieutenant generals under her father's command back then, and she wanted to use Ma Du Du to contain Li Xu, so that Li Xu could understand that without her, the great cause of the north could not be achieved.
She did not give in to the daughters of the Li family, but went directly to persuade Li Xu.
She knows that strategy and the city government are necessary means to achieve success, but she can't do without her own persistence and bottom line.
At that time, she was very confident in Li Xu, and felt that Li Xu's thoughts should be the same as hers.
Li Xu tracked down the people behind the scenes all the way, also because he hated the methods of the people behind the scenes.
She rushed to the frontier guard overnight and waited until Li Xu came out of the Chinese army's tent, when she was a little anxious and a little worried.
Fortunately, Li Xu agreed with her and decided to send troops to the rescue, and she was deeply relieved.
But when she returned to Li's house again, Mrs. Li was ill, and she boiled medicine in the small kitchen to serve, but Mrs. Li's condition never improved......
Although the daughter of the Li family did not mention this time again, she knew that there was a layer of estrangement between her and the daughter of the Li family.
After that, she left the Li family to raise food for Li Xu, because Mrs. Li was seriously ill, and many things in the Li family fell on her, and she was busy on both sides, and her body was overwhelmed.
The battle turned out to be good, and Li Xu returned victorious, saving the people of the island, but the Tatars killed the captured merchants.
Miss Yu San took the female dependents of the merchants to treat the wounded soldiers in the frontier, and became famous for a while, and many of the female relatives of the merchants stayed in the northern Xinjiang to follow Miss Yu San.
Xu Qinghuan had no intention of thinking about these things before, but after finding out that the Kong family was related to King Jian, she began to think about the past related to the Kong family and Miss Li in her previous life, and wanted to find some clues from them.
Although King Jian has been ambushed, there are still many things in King Jian's case that she has not figured out, such as King Jian has arrangements in the northwest and southeast, and is it limited to one Confucian family in the north?
What kind of character is Kong Wu?
It was too hasty to find only one Kong Wu in the north, and Kong Wu was originally a pawn that King Jian was going to use for sacrifice.
Waiting for Mrs. Song San to go away, Yingui stepped forward and said: "Uncle Lei said that there was an accident on the Kong family's side, and the mother of the Kong family steward wanted to kill the second grandmother of Kong, and the yacha went to stop it after finding out, but the housekeeper's mother was killed by the yacha by mistake, although there has been no news of the death of the second grandmother of Kong, but Uncle Lei inquired about it, and the second grandmother of Kong lost too much blood in a miscarriage.
Now the Kong family is full of people from the yamen inside and out. ”
Xu Qinghuan listened carefully, and said for a while: "Let people go to Lord Huang Qinghe, and ask Lord Huang to interrogate Second Master Kong immediately, if it is too late, Second Master Kong may be escorted to the Criminal Department."
Please ask Master Huang to ask Second Master Kong, is the miscarriage of Second Grandma Kong related to the Kong family? ”
Kong Wuye was taken to the Criminal Department, and Kong Erye, who was not convicted, was imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion, and Kong Erye had a chance to leave the prison, but the current situation was not favorable to the Kong family.
Now it seems most likely that the rest of the Kong family is still involved with King Jian, and Miss Li knows the inside story, and the Kong family killed Miss Li in order to protect the Kong family.
If the Kong family really didn't attack Miss Li, then the Kong family might become a scapegoat.
The reason is very simple, a housekeeper mother who serves by Miss Li's side every day, if she wants to kill people, she can kill silently, she doesn't need to alarm anyone, and she makes such a battle, but she is afraid that she has other plans.
Xu Qinghuan's heart was ready to move, and she really wanted to go to the scene of the crime to confirm her guess, but unfortunately she is now a bride who has just entered the door, and she has to be familiar with her husband.
Thinking of the word husband, Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but feel a little dry.
Just because she shouted "Lord Song" on her wedding night, someone showed a fierce look on her face, and she had to shout "husband" several times.
Xu Qinghuan picked up the tea and drank it, her tongue and the corners of her mouth suddenly felt a tingling pain, and at this moment she wanted to ask Feng Xiao: Is there still croton?
Song Lang's physical strength is so good, do you want to taste the croton that the lady personally served you.
……
Miss Yu San sat at the table, and when she heard the news of Miss Li, she couldn't help but stand up: "Let's go see Mrs. Li." ”
Now Mrs. Li must be very sad.
"What are you going to do?" Second Mrs. Yu couldn't help but shake her head when she saw her daughter's appearance, "Stay at home well, don't go anywhere." ”
