Chapter 544: Blessing (2nd Watch)
This time I came to Jibei City, less than a month away from the last time, but there are obvious changes in Jibei City.
If the last time the northern city of Hebei was covered with clouds, and the whole northern city of Hebei was depressed and gray, then today's northern city of Hebei is bright and lively, although it is still in winter, but it is full of vitality.
This is the credit of the newly appointed state capital, Su Xingze.
All the people of the Zhang family were imprisoned, and after the order of the imperial court was issued, the Zhang family was sentenced to nine clans, because Su Rong interceded for Zhang Mao, the prince was extrajudicially gracious, and Zhang Mao's own mother and younger brother were exempted from the death penalty and sentenced to exile.
Su Rong sat in the drunken goose workshop and gave Su Xing a thumbs up, "Big brother, it's amazing, in a short period of time, it has changed the style of Jibei City." ”
"This is thanks to the two members of the Zhang family, when I was in the army, I learned that I was going to come to Jibei City to take up my post, so they sent someone to help me. They are most familiar with Jibei City, and with someone to help, I naturally get started very quickly. Su Xing said.
Su Rong nodded, and asked while nibbling on the drunken goose: "Zhang Mao's mother and younger brother, before he was exiled, he could see Zhang Mao's side?" ”
"See." Su Xing said: "I sent someone to send them to the army before exile, but it is said that after Zhang's mother saw Zhang Mao, she scolded and even used a knife to kill him, saying that he was a son of evil and regretted giving birth to him, if he had known earlier, when he was born, he would have strangled him or something, Zhang Mao was scolded, did not say a word, and was also stabbed in the chest by Zhang's mother's dagger, his younger brother was young, but he didn't say anything but crying, it was not difficult to secretly place them from exile, but when such a thing happened, Zhang Mao did not mention placement, The government sent them to the place of exile. ”
"If Zhang's mother is smart, she should know that if Zhang Mao didn't take refuge in me, he would have died a long time ago, and the Zhang family would not be able to win the world, which would be the fate of the Jiu clan. The reason why she was saved from being killed should be thanks to her for giving birth to a good son, otherwise her youngest son who she loved the most would also die. Now that her two sons are alive, where does her hatred for Zhang Mao come from? Even used a knife against him? Su Rong said: "The only two smart people in the Zhang family are Zhang Mao and Zhang Yun. ”
Su Xing said: "Mrs. Zhang is probably dreaming of being a queen, but now that the dream is broken, she naturally hates Zhang Mao, and she is angry, complaining that he has harmed the Zhang family." ”
"Ridiculous." Su Rong commented.
Su Xing said: "That's okay, Zhang's mother and Zhang Mao have completely broken off the mother-son relationship, and Zhang Mao doesn't have to worry about life in the future." ”
Su Rong asked, "Is he seriously injured?" ”
I was already wounded in the leg, but before I could recover, I was stabbed again.
"It's heavy, but with Dr. Zhang's presence, there is no worry about his life." Su Xing said: "Originally, he could have dodged, but he didn't. ”
Su Rong nodded, she could guess that Zhang Mao didn't have the intention of hiding at that time, and broke off the family relationship with one sword, since her mother could do something to him, he didn't have to worry about any mother-son affection.
Su Xing said again: "The gold and silver in Zhang's private treasury, on the books, have been filled with the treasury. ”
"What about the ones that aren't on the books?" Su Rong asked.
Su Xing looked at her, "What is not on the account was originally held by Zhang Ping himself, but as soon as Zhang Ping died, it naturally fell into Zhang Yun's hands." A few years ago, the Zhang family mined a gold mine for raising soldiers, and I don't know how much it was used and how much was left. Because Zhang Yun is your person, I didn't let people investigate the confiscation to the bottom of it. ”
Su Rong smiled, "Since it's in Zhang Yun's hands, even if you check it, you won't be able to find out." ”
"I can't find it out in a short time, but for a long time, I don't necessarily can't find it. The difficulty is not to find out, but to make him spit it out. Su Xing said: "But since he is already your person, there is no need for this move, I will tell you, and this matter will also be reported to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Su Rong nodded and asked Su Xingze, "Big brother, do you know that the 300,000 soldiers and horses I borrowed from the imperial court at the border now, where does the military salary come from?" ”
Su Xing was stunned, "You didn't pay the military salary?" ”
"Didn't."
Su Xing looked at her, "Because of the 300,000, the Northern Hebei Army, which was originally privately raised by Zhang Ping, was not in the imperial court, and the imperial court did not allocate military salaries." ”
Su Rong suddenly smiled, "So, I don't have to worry about it, and no one asks me for military salaries, it should be Zhang Yun who is raising these 300,000 soldiers and horses." ”
Su Xing pressed his hand on his forehead and rubbed it, "I actually ignored this matter." He asked: "This time in Beijing, you are looking for the imperial court to borrow troops, is it difficult?" ”
Su Rong shook his head, "No, Your Majesty happily agreed, and there is no point in the important ministers of the court, I signed an agreement, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses can directly take away the Tiger Talisman and His Majesty's holy decree." ”
Su Xing bowed his head and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”
After eating, he went out of the Drunken Goose Fang, and Su Xing took Su Rong back to the mansion.
On the way, he asked Su Rong, "How are your mother and sisters at home?" I went back to Jiangzhou to see my father and aunts, how are they? ”
"It's all good." Su Rong said: "Mother is reluctant to me, I promised her to stay in Nanchu and gain a firm foothold and take her to live." ”
Su Xing smiled, "It's good for you to go, and you have taken your mother's heart away." ”
Su Rong pursed his lips and smiled, "I'll give you an idea, you marry a wife earlier, and your mother will be tethered to you for the sake of her grandson." ”
Su Xing laughed angrily, "In that case, let's go and bolt you!" ”
After returning to the mansion, Su Rong did not rest, Su Xing handled official business, and she also went to the study to accompany her, and stayed for half a day, until after dinner, she continued to set off and left the northern city of Hebei.
Su Xing was going to send Su Rong out of the city, but she stopped him strongly, "Big brother, stay here, in the capital, I didn't ask anyone to send it, in Jiangzhou, my father and aunts wanted to send me, and I didn't agree, now that you come to northern Hebei, you don't want to send it, so as not to make me uncomfortable." ”
Su Xing was helpless, stopped at the door, and looked at her.
Su Rong took the initiative to stretch out his hand and hugged him, "Big brother, my parents will always be my parents, you will always be my eldest brother, and my aunts and sisters will always be my aunts and sisters, even if I go to Nanchu, these will not change." ”
Su Xing's eyes turned red, and he touched her head with his hand, "It's good if you know, take care." ”
"Hmm." Su Rong let go of him and got into the carriage.
The carriage walked away, and Su Xing stood at the gate of the mansion, until the figure of the carriage and horse disappeared, and he still stood for a long time.
He remembered the scenes from his childhood to adulthood and his seventh sister. At that time, I thought that he would worry about her for the rest of his life, after all, she was too worrying, even if he got married, he, as a big brother, would not be able to worry, maybe he would beat his brother-in-law every other day for her, never thought that she would go to Nanchu, and one day she would be thousands of miles away from him, and he would not let him go.
Then, he can only wish her all the best, ascend to your noble land, and be happy and peaceful every year to come.
Babies, monthly passes, what's the matter?
