Reunion of the Old (III) (II)

Shopkeeper Huang frowned: "The specific small ones are not very clear." However, the little one knows that the Ping An Inn in various places has the task of honoring it. Not to mention other places, it is a small Juxian Building and Ping An Inn, and 20% of the annual income is supplied to Zhumahe Zhuangzi in the south of the city. That Zhuangzi Rong raised 137 wounded soldiers whose household registration was near the capital, who were paralyzed and had no one to take care of them at home. Although they grow some vegetables and grains, they also have to take care of those who cannot move, as well as medical treatment and injury, which are not small expenses, and it is far from enough to rely on Zhuangzi's little livelihood alone. If there are orphans in the Tang family's personal guards, before the children become adults, they will be given two taels of silver to each child by the Ping'an inns in various places every year. At the end of last year, the Beijing Ping An Inn sent out a total of 31 pieces of silver to the children. In the capital, if these children are willing to live in Zhumahe Zhuangzi, the Tang family also arranges for the children to go over, take care of food and housing, and invite Mr. to teach everyone to read and write. My father was married to the old general of Tang Wen Pingnan, and since my mother remarried, the old general Tang sent someone to take me and my sister to the Zhuangzi in Wayao Fort in Guanxi to raise me. My sister often lamented with me that if it weren't for my father and General Tang's familiarity, the two of us would really be orphans with no one to take care of us. ”

"Therefore, although the children of the Tang Sect were all born in the army, the last thing they want to see is a rebellion. The war is together, and the sword is merciless. Xinjie continued: "Instead of us going to help these people, it is better to stop the cause of the trouble." ”

Yiyi sighed deeply and said to Xinjie: "I now deeply understand why you repeatedly emphasized that when you and I were the Turkic envoy, we would not use troops until we had to. The brothers who wanted to come to the Tang family were immersed in the scene since they were children, and they saw the consequences of the war most thoroughly. ”

Xinjie was also very heavy: "Yes, although the Tang Sect is still martial, the first lesson we learned when we entered the master was how to practice martial arts first and foremost how to solve problems without using martial arts." If it is older, the master will teach to do everything in his power to protect the people from the wounds of force. Once the scourge of swords and soldiers comes, the first to bear the brunt are the people in the war zone and these soldiers who rush to the front line. Even though it's peaceful now, you can see that we have so many disabilities here, not to mention people we don't know and can't help. ”

When Du Tingxi heard this, he seemed to have a sudden inspiration: "These disabled people here are all the personal soldiers of the Tang family, right?" No wonder Tang Jiajun is heroic? It turned out that those soldiers were willing to work for the Tang family without worries. Other generals don't have this condition in their families, so they naturally can't compare to the Tang family's army. It's just that in this way, it becomes that they are grateful to the Tang family, not to the Great Zhou court. ”

Yiyi was stunned in his heart, As a king, this is a big taboo. But when I saw Du Tingxi's face, I instantly reflected that this was deliberately provoking. Before he could speak, Ding Jizhong couldn't stand it. Although Ding Jizhong was dissatisfied with the powerful and powerful, he was not a person who blindly drilled the horns of the bull, and at this time he hated Du Tingxi's words, and regretted how he stood with him this time, so he couldn't help but say: "Lord Du's words are too extreme. The Tang family is solving the problem for the imperial court. Although we are not saints, we always have to help those around us as much as we can. The sons of the Tang family are bloody on the battlefield, so they naturally have unusual feelings with these personal guards, If it is difficult, it is human nature to give them some care, why does Lord Du deliberately distort the facts?! ”

"But there are more than a few hundred disabled soldiers in the Great Zhou, why does the Tang Sect only care about these people and ignore the other disabled soldiers? Why did they deliberately gather these people here to take care of them, instead of donating the silver to the imperial court and letting the imperial court send someone to take care of it? Although these wounded soldiers are disabled, if they use force, they are also stronger than ordinary people, in case the Tang Sect has bad intentions and instructs them to do evil, not to gather a crowd to rebel? ”

Ding Jizhong frowned, It seems that he wrote this time because Du Tingxi brought it to use, according to Du Tingxi's thinking, no matter what, he wanted to give Tang Jia'an a crime before he stopped, he was an upright person, he was used like this, he was angry in his heart, and said bluntly: "Ding doesn't know why Lord Du wants to distort assumptions so much." Ding didn't know about Ping An Inn before, and thought there was some bad motive, but at this moment, it seems that Ding is lonely and unheard, and I misunderstood. Ding admired the Tang family's care for these disabled soldiers and orphans since their ancestors. It is also because of the fact that there is a charitable family like Tangmen in the Great Zhou, that the Great Zhou can prosper. As for Lord Du's words, that is just Lord Du's imagination. It is normal for the Tang family to take care of their own personal guards, just like if the subordinates in my family are in trouble, the master will help, and there is nothing to doubt. ”

Du Tingxi didn't expect that it was Ding Jizhong who jumped out against him, and his face couldn't hold back: "Lord Ding, you are too naïve." Can you and the servants of my house compare with these trained warriors? What can we do with a dozen ordinary servants in our family? The Tang family has money to donate to the imperial court to do good deeds, but not only did they not do it, but they gathered so many veterans, isn't it a plot to do wrong? ”

"Lord Du said that only the imperial court can do good deeds? Should all kinds of charity halls be closed? Xinjie said with a sneer.

"Tang Xinjie," Du Tingxi seemed to look very angry: "Don't think that you are the prince's staff, you can speak so lightly!" Are you ordinary benevolent halls? You have entangled so many people who know martial arts, so many soldiers, aren't you plotting against you and harboring evil intentions?! ”

"So Lord Du thinks that my Tang family has been hiding evil intentions under the nose of Gao Zu since hundreds of years ago, and now it has been hundreds of years?" Xinjie asked with a smile.

Yiyi was also stunned when he heard this, yes, it's been a hundred years, if the Tang family wants to seek the country of the Great Zhou, why wait until now.

Du Tingxi was also speechless for a while. If there is a rebellion, it really won't wait for hundreds of years. But how can the Tang family be blackened? He pondered urgently.

Xinjie didn't give him more time, and said to the shopkeeper Huang: "Take Master Du to the rice room and kitchen to have a look, and let him see what kind of heart our Ping An Inn has." ”

The shopkeeper opened the door to the kitchen. The door is not yet a kitchen, but another into the yard. It's just that there is a rice bowl in the courtyard, and a man with gray hair and empty sleeves is sitting on a stool next to him. When he heard the door of the courtyard, the gray-haired man turned his face and looked at them, and did not stop, but went on with his work. On the other side, under the shed, there was a row of tables, and several people were standing there picking vegetables, washing vegetables, or cutting vegetables. Everybody has a disability, especially the one who chops vegetables, and he has a big burn scar on his face, which can be seen from the uninjured half of his face, and he used to be very handsome. Yiyi felt that this person was very familiar for a while, and kept looking at him, and the person also stopped because of Yiyi's gaze, and then walked up to Yiyi excitedly and knelt down: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"You are?"

"The little one used to be the captain of the third left battalion of the forbidden army."

"You're the captain who blocked rockets for Hongu during the autumn hunt?" Yiyi was surprised.

"Yes."

"Why are you here?"

"The little one is not suitable for the forbidden army because of the burns on his face, and he is afraid of scaring others when he goes out, I heard that the wounded soldiers of the Tang family army have such a place, so I went to ask General Tang Wu, and he arranged for the small one to come here. You don't have to go out and scare people when you work here. You can also have money to support your family. ”

Yiyi nodded, didn't know what he was thinking for a while, and didn't speak.

Xinjie glanced at Du Tingxi coldly: "Lord Du, these people are the people gathered in Juxian Building, I don't know what evil intentions are hidden here?" ”

"Humph!" Du Tingxi snorted unconvinced: "Of course, this is your Tang family's move to buy people's hearts." ”

Xinjie was laughed at by him: "Why doesn't Lord Du buy people's hearts?!" Why don't you donate the money that Lord Du raised in the outer room outside to the court to do good deeds? ”

Du Tingxi felt that his chest was suffocating, his mother-in-law was stingy and jealous, he didn't let him have a concubine, and he was secretive about raising a son outside, how did Tang Xinjie know? But even so, he couldn't retreat, lest this matter be dug deeper and deeper: "Your Tang family is powerful, and you have planned it a long time ago, and you are prepared." But don't think you can fool Du, Du will keep an eye on you, don't let Du catch you doing bad things. ”

"Enough!" Yiyi snorted: "Du Tingxi, do you think you can't make a mistake?" Could it be that even if Lord Du is wrong, he can't bow his head and apologize? Where have you read your sages? ”

On the official road to Beijing in the early morning of the next day, several carriages were waiting for Princess Jing'an at the post station. The princess was supposed to go to the post station this morning, but the princess temporarily rose up and took people to Yang Huaishan to see the waterfall. On Yang Huai Mountain, the Tang family's cattle and sheep farm rested for one more day. Not only did you see the waterfall, but you also enjoyed the delicious taste of freshly roasted suckling sheep. This is a rare pleasure in the palace. I really want to stay. It's just that I didn't expect that there are still many things waiting for them.

Since Huayan Town, the people of the Guo family have been following the princess and her party. Because the princess's guard of honor was in front, the princess followed Tang Xintian's brothers slowly in light clothes, so the people of the Guo family never reflected that this pair of men and women was related to the royal family, and thought that they were the sons and daughters of the Tang family. The Guo family's guards were also very effective, quickly informing the Guo family in Huayan Town and the Lan family in the capital of the group's whereabouts. When the sea fishing document came down, the people of the Guo family quickly took the guards and the people of the yamen to touch Yang Huaishan's Zhuangzi. Although the catchers knew the Zhuangzi of the Tang family, they could not be provoked at will, but the Guo family, through the queen, came to catch the documents at sea again, so they had to go to the Zhuangzi to arrest people.
