CHAPTER XXXIII
Steward Zhang came out of Master Xing's house and observed whether anyone was following behind him. quickly disappeared in a black rumbling alley, and came to the door of a house in the dark. Gently slap the knocker twice!
The wooden door squeaked open, and the people inside quickly let Steward Zhang in.
The two of them didn't speak, but walked in the small courtyard in the dark. I quickly bypassed the main house and came to the backyard. The door of the wing room opened, and Steward Zhang walked in in a flash.
On the kang sat a guy who looked like a businessman, with a square face and a big nose, and the candle flame was reflected in a pair of small eyes, as if there were two flames dancing inside.
"How's it going?" The man sitting cross-legged on the kang was playing with a string of beads in his hand, and immediately asked when he saw Steward Zhang come in.
"If you go back, Master Xing promises to install our people into the ranks of the people." Steward Zhang bowed down and spoke, with great respect for the person in front of him.
"So happy to agree?" The man frowned, too easy is not a good thing. It's an experience he's mixed up over the years.
"A kid surnamed Li offended Master Xing, and I came up with the idea to let him stuff that kid into the ranks of the people. took the opportunity to stuff our people into it as well. According to your instructions, my sister-in-law also encouraged Yuan Yingtai to send the eldest son of the Yuan family to Shenyang in order to calm the army's heart. Yuan Yingtai has already been quite moved, and according to the current situation, he is eighty percent sure. ”
"Huh! You do this well, you do it well. The Great Khan will not treat you badly! ”
"Thank you for the cultivation of the forehead, and my subordinates will definitely do their best to be loyal to the Great Khan!" Steward Zhang was very happy in his heart, if Shenyang was defeated, the next battle would be Liaoyang. I surrendered in advance, and I will be an official in the future.
Li Yongfang, who was sitting above, was not a general back then. Jin Feng became a forehead, won the appreciation of the Great Khan, and is now a high lord. In the future, maybe he will be better than him.
"Go down! Tell your sister, I remember her well. ”
"No! Subordinates retire! ”
Steward Zhang saw that Li Yongfang no longer spoke, so he retreated. The small door of the courtyard opened again, as if a man had walked in. It's too dark in the yard to see the looks clearly. The moment the man walked into the room, Steward Zhang felt that this person's figure was very familiar, as if it was Sun Degong, a staff general under Master Jingluo!
Li Xiao's house is full of drunks, and these guys drank countless drinks last night. Even Xiaobai nestled listlessly in Xiaoyu's arms, and this thing drank a lot of wine last night. In just one night, he had a good friendship with Man Gui.
Because they were going to the barracks, Zhou Dunji and Qi Jin left early. Man Gui also left with his three brothers, and promised to help Xiaobai find a female parrot before leaving. I don't know if it's true or not!
Breakfast is a rice porridge with white flour steamed buns made by Sister Qiao, and shredded radish mixed with small pickles. The dumplings left over from last night were fried in oil and served to eat "squeak" and "squeak" in the mouth. Xiaoyu ate with a mouth full of oil, and said that it was delicious.
"Ao Ye! How is the matter of the master, should we talk to the eldest prince. The one who kidnapped the little boy at the beginning was the master under the fifth master? Li Xiao asked while drinking rice porridge.
At the beginning, he told Ao Canghai about the matter as soon as possible, and Ao Canghai promised to help investigate, and said that he would not let Li Xiao say it. But it's been so long, and I haven't sent a reply. Li Xiao felt that this incident told Yuan Ang that the fifth master would die very ugly.
"Boy! You'd better forget about it, Master has disappeared since that day. I didn't know Lao Ao's ability, but I couldn't find out his whereabouts. If you have no evidence, do you say that there are witnesses or physical evidence?
What is going on in the wealthy family, only God knows. The eldest son's mother died early, and this little son was born by Mrs. Zhang. You know, what's the matter with the eldest prince here? You dare to tell him, be careful with your life! Ao Canghai looked left and right, and knocked Li Xiao's head with chopsticks.
"Do you suspect the eldest prince?"
"No one can say this kind of thing clearly, and I can't say it clearly, so it's better for you to be confused. Forget about the master, the fifth master is now crippled anyway. In the future, it will be difficult to mix on the ground in Liaoyang. This kind of person is like this, when he is proud, the scenery is infinite. If it's really planted, it's not as good as a dog. Don't be surprised if one day you see the fifth master asking for food on the street. That's what happens to people like them!
What you said about entering the customs, Lao Tzu also thought about it. In the past two years, I have also bought some belongings in Liaoyang for a few days. I'll dispose of my belongings, and we'll hit the road. I also felt that Liaodong was not peaceful, and even the soldiers of Xuanfu were transferred. Looks like it's going to be a big fight. ”
"The soldiers of the imperial court can't beat the Tartars?"
"Humph! It's just that the Zhejiang soldiers and the new white pole soldiers are still able to fight, and the rest. I'm afraid that if I see the shadow of the Tartar, I will turn around and flee. The hearts of the people are scattered, and they cannot be gathered. Let's go! ”
"Hey......!" Li Xiao sighed, he really wanted to stay here and fight with the Tartar soldiers. But now that he has no power and no money, he is covered in iron and can twist a few nails, so he should go to the customs first.
touched Xiaoyu's little head, no matter how you say it, you have to settle your younger brothers and sisters.
After breakfast, Ao Canghai also went on a business trip. Sister Qiao wanted to go back to her home and was kept by Li Xiao.
"Sister-in-law, don't go back there. Ao Ye said to dispose of the family property, let's go to Guanli, Liaodong is not peaceful. ”
"He said that he was poor and clanged, and he had no property. They were all orphans of Paoze back then, and most of his entries were filled in to them. If you really want to leave, I'm afraid that if you sell the house, you will have to help them one last time. Ay......! If he has money, why should I suffer in that kind of place! ”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Let's do some business after entering the customs, and life will be fine. In the future, our two families will live together, and you will raise two big fat boys for Ao Ye. I taught them to read! Li Xiao patted his chest and said.
"Look at what you can, everyone wants to live a good life. This Liaodong is troubled by the Tartars, and I don't know when I will be able to live a human life. , then I won't leave. Stay at home and wait for you little ones. Sister Qiao said, holding Xiaoyu in her arms.
"Auntie, are you really not leaving? In the future, will you be able to eat your dumplings every day? Xiaoyu raised her oily little face, looked at Sister Qiao'er and asked.
"Hmmm! Make dumplings every day, support your little gluttonous cat! ”
