Chapter 34: Soldiers and Bandits
Hao Mansion.
Hao Datong stood in front of the door of the middle hall, holding two large round walnuts in his left hand, which were already shiny, and holding a purple sand teapot in his right hand, sending hot tea to his mouth one by one.
He was looking at the noisy crowd in the courtyard with gloomy eyes, this is a team of about ten people, and they have been eating and drinking here for two days.
A few days ago, he sent the housekeeper Zhang Cai to the old lady's house to collect the land, thinking that taking advantage of this chaotic year, the old woman could only obey them, for insurance, he also specially asked Zhang Cai to take a small bag of silver, to invite a team of soldiers to support them.
What I never expected was that Zhang Cai and the patrol soldiers all died at the house of Mrs. Nama.
This time it stabbed the hornet's nest, Zhang Cai's identity was immediately found out by Sheng Jun, and while the whole city searched for the murderer, he also sent such a team of bandits to enter Hao's mansion, eating and drinking during the day, and harming a few maids and maids at night, making Hao Da angry and itchy.
But even if he was angry again, Hao Datong didn't dare to say anything, after all, that team of soldiers was led by someone from Hao Mansion, and if it was serious, he would be suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
Originally, the commander of the guard army in charge of defense was ready to make a big fuss about this matter, and he would not give up if he didn't let the Hao family spit out half of the family property, but at the critical moment, Hao Datong took out a picture of the words, so that the commander of the guard army retreated, and only symbolically left this small team, saying that he wanted the Hao family to assist in the investigation.
It doesn't matter what is written in that pair, the key is that the person who wrote it is none other than Sheng Guodang Zaifu Du Chong.
And what the commander fears the most is the seal that falls on it, not a private seal but an official seal.
In Shengguo, many high-ranking families have backers in the capital, and the talisman taken out by the Hao family is obviously heavy enough.
Hao Datong forced out a smile, walked into the courtyard with his big belly, looked at the Sheng Army soldiers who were all naked and drinking in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brothers, drinking? ”
Seeing that Hao Datong was coming, the rest of the people continued to eat, drink and fight, only the captain stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Master Hao for your hospitality, my brothers are all rough people, if there is anything abrupt, I hope you will take care of the old man." ”
Hao Datong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, brother, what are these words?" Isn't it natural that you will take some wine and meat to entertain the brothers for the sake of our little people's life and death, and to protect our family and defend the country? ”
"Hahaha, then we're disrespectful. Brethren! Why don't you thank Master Hao? ”
"Thank you, Master Hao!" The soldiers in the courtyard roared, startling Hao Datong, and the expensive teapot in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Hao Datong smiled awkwardly, and then invited the captain aside.
"Brother, what I asked you to do last time, do you have any faith?"
"Oh, you said that, don't worry, since our commander promised you, it must be no worse." After speaking, the captain patted Hao Datong on the shoulder, and was about to go back to continue drinking, so he took two steps and turned back.
"Oh yes, Master Hao, add a few more roast chickens to the brothers, there has been a shortage of oil and water in this stomach recently."
Hao Datong responded with a smile, and then ordered his subordinates to go out to buy roast chicken.
The squad leader returned to his seat, and his subordinates hurriedly filled the bowl with wine for him, and said with a sneer: "Captain, what did the fat man tell you?" ”
"What else can I say, just ask if the matter of the Lord I asked us to lead the Lord was done, you say, he asked the Lord to contact the people of Tie Xinwei, is that possible? How can the Lord of our family have the qualifications to talk to other people's Tie Xinwei. ”
"Then I remember that the Commander didn't all accept their silver tickets?"
"You are stupid, you will accept the silver ticket when you should accept it, and you will not do anything."
"Oh, it's the captain you have to see it through."
"That's, hey, what about the goldfish in your bowl? Hurry up and get done! ”
Hao Datong stood in the distance, his fat chest bulging one after another, obviously a little depressed.
At this time, his youngest son, the young master of Hao Mansion, came over, looked at the rude soldiers in the courtyard, and said disdainfully: "Dad, why are these people still staying here?" ”
Looking at his waste son, Hao Datong was even more angry, "You don't stay in your yard, why are you running here?" ”
"Didn't I come to see what was going on? Aren't all our amulets lit up for them? Just let them get out. ”
"You think I don't want them to go, I'm asking for something right now."
"What can we ask them for?"
Hao Datong snorted, "It's not for your sister's business." ”
"My sister is too, I have to go to ...... for King Xiao Ming"
Syllable!
Hao Datong slapped his son with a round arm, and said angrily: "You go back for me!" ”
This pampered young master ran back to his yard with his face covered.
At this time, I suddenly remembered the sound of a knock at the door.
The porter, who had been waiting beside him, hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Who? ”
A dull response came from outside the door, "Iron Heart Guard." ”
The originally noisy courtyard suddenly fell silent.
"Captain, didn't you say that the commander didn't dare to go to the Iron Heart Guard?"
"How do I know? Hurry up and find your clothes! ”
Then there was a flurry of chickens and dogs, and the dozen or so soldiers ran around in a panic, looking for their uniforms that they didn't know where to throw them.
Wine and meat were scattered all over the ground.
Just when the porter was at a loss, there was another voice outside.
"Open the door!"
Hao Datong hurriedly ran over, "Hurry up, hurry up, open the door to Lord Tie Xinwei!" ”
The porter hurriedly opened the door of Hao's mansion, and three heavily armed iron-hearted guards walked in directly.
Looking at the wreckage and the shirtless Sheng soldiers looking for clothes, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then understood what was going on.
The tall and mighty Yan Chen took a step forward and said angrily: "What are you doing? Come and assemble me! ”
These soldiers who lost their armor and abandoned their armor, when they heard the order of the Iron Heart Guard, how dare they slack off, and they ran over and stood in a row.
In this row, none of them were neatly dressed, and most of them were bare-chested, very embarrassed.
"You people, worthy of being called soldiers? Also worthy of being His Highness's bodyguard? Yan Chen said angrily.
The platoon of soldiers lowered their heads so hard that they didn't even dare to gasp.
At this time, Jiang Wuxian spoke: "Who is the captain?" ”
"I ...... I am. ”
"The person who led you will get out of here, this kind of thing will happen again, and the military law will deal with it!"
"Yes, yes, let's get out." The team leader hurriedly beckoned his subordinates, holding their respective armor and weapons, and fled from Hao's mansion in embarrassment.
At this time, Hao Datong ran over with a small step and said flatteringly: "What the villain wanted, I guess Commander Yuan has already told the adults, right?" ”
Yan Chen was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing how to pick up the stubble.
Fortunately, Jiang Wuxian had a quick brain and a lively heart, and replied: "Yes, we were invited by Lao Yuan." ”
