Chapter 8 Rebuilding the People
Wang is younger than Chen Tu, dignified and generous, and has a lot of ideas about the internal affairs of the main house.
Seeing her husband complaining again and again, she hurriedly walked over and handed over a bowl of hot soup and said, "It's cold!"
The husband still drank the soup to warm up first, as for Liu County...... If the husband doesn't tell the matter, the concubine will help to see one or two. ”
Chen Tu is the slaughter of a county outside, but in the back house, the husband and wife are affectionate, and they listen to the words of the Wang family very much, so far there is only one concubine. If it weren't for that, his father-in-law would not have spent a lot of money to help him sell his official position.
The autumn insects wailed, and the night gradually enveloped the entire Anxi County.
In the mansion of the county government, the lights were bright, and according to the arrangement of a few sentences after Chen Tu's return, the officials were busy with the disposal of the anti-thieves after they came, and the voices were boiling.
In the past few years, although Chen Tu's character is average, but with his wrist, he has firmly grasped the county temple in his own hands, even if Liu Bei first came, he had no way to intervene, so he could only be a county lieutenant honestly, in charge of bandits, and the two were well water and not river water.
In the rear official house where the county order was alone, Chen Shi massaged Chen Tu's shoulders while listening quietly, and the good-looking willow eyebrows bent up, and said: "This county lieutenant Liu is also a wonderful person!"
This time, the husband is not simply on the thief ship, according to the concubine's body, it is just reciprocal benefit.
Let's say that this Cui Duyou, the concubine has already said that she is not a good person, and she has long heard of it in the county, but she is a master who collects money and does not do anything. All that money is gone.
As long as you can work with County Lieutenant Liu, this matter will be settled, and it will have little to do with your husband, after all, that person was killed by County Lieutenant Liu.
In addition, with the merit of beheading thieves, the official position of the husband, I can't say that I will mention it again! ”
Hearing the words "promotion", Chen Tu's eyes lit up.
With Wang's enlightenment, he was a lot happier in his heart, took Wang into his arms, and sighed: "The former Taizu had Xiao He, so as to achieve great things.
If you have a fine gentleman for your husband, you will be like Taizu has Xiao Heye! ”
At this moment, a maid came hesitantly and said, "The county government has a pavilion servant who has come to spread the word, saying that the person from the county lieutenant Liu is looking for you!" ”
Chen Tu's good mood that had just risen was like pouring a bowl of cold water in an instant, and he began to suffer from gains and losses.
"Husband, let's go and see, this Liu County Lieutenant is not reckless, I'm afraid there is really something important!" Wang's Road.
Chen Tuxin said, "It's not Liu Da'er himself, if it's that black-faced and unreasonable Zhang Fei, if he is killed by a disagreement, who will reason with him?" ”
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help but sigh: "That's it! The matter has come to this, and look at what Liu Da'er is looking for me again! ”
Out of the back house, just outside the door of the front official house, seeing the big man with the black burden, Chen Tu's eyes couldn't help jumping.
"Bad luck!"
He just said that the last thing he wanted to see was the reckless Zhang Fei, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to really let Zhang Fei come to him.
Looking back at Zhang Fei's bulging package in his arms, thinking of the scene in the post house before, Chen Tu was very worried, whether there would be a person inside.
Zhang Fei was walking back and forth, and when he was a little irritable, he saw Chen Tu's hesitant steps, hurriedly walked over, and said loudly: "County Jun, my brother asked me to come to see you, it's really good to wait!"
It's not dark yet, county gentleman, you really want to be with your sister-in-law...... Well, there's no hurry! ”
Zhang Fei observed that Chen Tu's face gradually turned from red to black in the firelight, and hurriedly stopped and changed the word.
Chen Tu walked between them, almost stumbling, worried that Zhang Fei would say something nonsense, he gritted his teeth and said, "You come in with me!" ”
Turning his head and looking, he wanted to ask a few county yamen to follow up with him to protect his safety, but thinking of Zhang Feizhi's force, Chen Tu couldn't help but dispel this idea.
The two of them returned to the official residence one after the other, and before Chen Tu sat down, he saw Zhang Fei put the burden in his hand on the desk and made a loud noise.
"Let's take a look, this is what my brother asked me to bring, by the way, I almost forgot! And this! ”
As soon as the burden was put down, without waiting for Chen Tu to open it, Zhang Fei handed over a ball of brocade silk from his arms again, but this time it was handed to Chen Tu and was not snatched away!
Chen Tu was suspicious in his heart, and subconsciously took the brocade silk first, only glanced at it, and the whole soul was about to be lost, far more shocked than Liu Bei killing the post governor, and shouted in a low voice: "This Cui Lian is really bold, it turns out that he is still the nephew of the pure distant family, and he actually surrendered early!" I want to help plunder most of Jizhou!
And this package......"
Chen Tu held the brocade silk tightly with his left hand, lowered his head, and opened a gap with his right hand.
Money, a lot of possessions!
Zhang Fei took in Chen Tu's expression, thinking about the instructions of his eldest brother Liu Bei before leaving, and said on his face: "Ahem, my brother said that the letter here is also requested by the county monarch to send it to the county government again, so as to add more physical evidence, so as to convince Shangguan."
Whether it is true or not, it is also up to the officials to decide.
As for this money, my brother also said that when the county gentleman was lost on the road, he was picked up.
I want to come to the county and have something to do, so I won't bother, and I have to help the second brother arrange the surrender! ”
This is Guan Yu with the wounded soldiers, coming back from behind!
Chen Tu looked up and wanted to ask something, but Zhang Fei had already strode out of the door.
He looked at the deep night and sighed: "Although the money is back, since this evidence is not worried about Shangguan investigation, I am afraid that Liu Daer did not know where to find it, it should be true."
It's just that I'm Chen Tu, and I'm going to go all the way to the dark with this Liu Da'er. ”
Two quarters of an hour later,
In the camp tent outside the city of Anxi.
Liu Bei looked at the more than fifty large boxes in front of him, piled up like a hill, all of them opened, exuding the light of gold and silver jewelry.
His eyes were clear, and after moving away, he looked at Guan Yu, as well as Zhang Fei, who had already rushed back, and Ji Wen and other generals, rolled up their sleeves, wiped the corners of their eyes, and said: "The property in this is from the hands of the thief Li Qi and Cui Lian."
It's all soldiers, bought with blood!
I, Liu Bei, don't want a penny, part of it will be rewarded to the meritorious soldiers of various departments, and part of it will be sent to the families of the fallen soldiers.
The last part remains, and since this battle with Li Qi, our vitality has been greatly damaged, so I plan to rebuild the people! ”
This time to hit Li Qi, after statistics, the harvest was even richer than Liu Bei imagined.
In the past half a decade, Li Qi took people and horses, taking advantage of his personal fame, to snatch several counties and land, and before the money and food could be transported back to Zhang Chun's headquarters, he was beheaded by Liu Bei, and he got it in his hands and made a wedding dress for it.
easily got rid of Cui Lian, the superintendent of the post, got the filial piety of the officials from his residence, and made a small fortune, which was purely a windfall.
And the letter that Zhang Fei sent, this time it was not a "fake letter" written by Liu Bei on the way to the post house during the day, and it was Guan Yu's return journey, which was turned out of Li Qi's dead body, and the thief Zhang Chun wrote a handwritten letter for Cui Lian!
Hearing Liu Bei's decision, looking at the figure that was not tall, but was treated favorably by the soldiers, selfless, loyal and courageous, all the generals were in awe and moved.
Don't look at Zhang Fei's usual personality is a little impatient and irritable, but he is thick and fine, he quickly smelled a different taste, and his face suddenly jumped up: "Brother, but you want to expand the number of people?" ”
