Chapter 287: A Thousand Miles to Give a Dowry Gift
On March 27 of the third year of Qianchang, King An led more than 30,000 soldiers under his command to raise a counter-flag in Anzhou, and Shen Cunyu, the general of the right Hou Wei, took command, and used all his tricks to besiege King An in the city of Anzhou, September 16, King An fled from Anzhou and was captured in the woods, and the rebellion in Anzhou that lasted for half a year finally subsided.
King An's Mansion and Anzhou Yamen were burned down by a fire, but the chaos left by King An was full of clues and needed to be cleared up urgently.
Shen Cunyu led his troops to kill more than 5,000 rebels, captured more than 17,000 rebels alive (including more than 8,300 soldiers of King An in the tunnel), and rescued more than 11,000 refugees from Sanzhou who were deceived by King An and filled into the rebel camp. In addition, in a battle outside the city of Anzhou on September 16, nearly 2,000 refugees from the three states died on the battlefield.
Not counting the civil and military officials in Anzhou, who committed the most heinous crimes, Shen Cunyu captured more than 28,000 captured soldiers in Anzhou, and these people continued to be settled. However, these are all things that Shen Cunyu, Xu Chuan and others should have a headache for, and Shen Ge only cares about one thing now: arresting the escaped prince of King An, He Jiongming.
Shen Ge found large traces of blood, several obvious drag marks, and a few pieces of armor and iron wire under the medicine cabinet under the medicine prescription bed in the front yard of King An's mansion. Therefore, Shen Ge deduced that He Jiongming should have hidden a corpse under the bed in the pharmacy in advance, and after the guards carried him into the mansion, he would steal the beams and change the pillars, fake his death and get out, and leave the guards to lead Dai Xia to clean up the aftermath.
Dai Xia dismantled He Jiongming's armor and took it away, and in a panic, several pieces of armor were kicked under the medicine cabinet, so these traces were left.
Through the confession of the arrested guards in King An's mansion, it can be learned that Shen Ge's inference is reasonable. Therefore, the reward notice posted in Anzhou City has added six more people: the six Xia character secret guards headed by Dai Xia.
The graphics on the notices are all drawn by Zheng Changming, which is lifelike. However, there was no movement for three days after the notice was posted, and Shen Ge deduced that He Jiongming might have escaped from Anzhou City.
So, Shen Ge couldn't sit still, "Sister, I want to go back to Xuanzhou."
Shen Cunyu gave him a letter, "Go back, protect Ruyu, and send me a letter when the date of marriage is set." Whatever your grandfather said in the letter, you can do it yourself."
What did the grandfather say? Shen Ge unfolded the letter and said, "I have to discuss this matter with my father-in-law and mother-in-law and Ruyu."
Shen Cunyu nodded, "This is as it should be, talk to the second elder, if you succeed, if you don't succeed, you have to succeed."
Shen Ge......
After Lin Ruyu transported more than 100,000 catties of rice from the Lin family grange back to the city, the good news that the right Hou Wei captured Anzhou City and captured King An alive was sent to Xuanzhou City, and the people of Xuanzhou set off firecrackers to celebrate, which was as lively as the New Year.
The Lin family got more detailed information, knowing that it was Shen Ge who captured King An alive, and Dafu shot King An's second son He Jiongzhao with an arrow, and both of them made great contributions. The Wen family, who was holding his daughter, humbly asked Old Man Fang for advice, "With the merits of Shen Ge and Dafu, do you always see if they can be crowned officials?"
Old Man Fang has been an official for many years, and he is very clear about the affairs of officialdom, and said with a smile, "Both of them officially joined the army in June and joined the Right Marquis. In terms of the merits of capturing the anti-king and shooting the second son whom he regarded as his arm, Shen Ge can be promoted at least five levels in a row, and Dafu can be promoted at least three levels in a row."
Wen Shi Meizizi nodded, and Lu Yuchun asked, "Do you mean that if they have other military exploits, they will also be rewarded for their merits?"
Old Man Fang nodded, "Yes, Dafu is indeed blessed."
Fang smiled and groaned, "Our family Jiaojiao and Yuchun are also blessed."
Lu Yuchun's palm-sized little face turned red with excitement, and Lin Ruyu dragged her cheeks and smiled like a flower. King An's rebellion has been bulldozed, and everyone is fine, which is more important than anything else.
Wen also asked, "Now that the war has been pacified, it's time for Shen Ge and Dafu to come back, right?"
Old Man Fang shook his head, "They have entered the right guard, and they need to listen to orders in the barracks, and they can't leave the camp at will."
That's right......
Lu Yuchun was still not in a hurry, and discussed with Lin Ruyu in a whisper, "Second sister, when it's too peaceful outside, how about we go to Anzhou to visit relatives?"
The Anzhou Rebellion had just subsided, and the Right Hou Wei must have to stay in Anzhou for some time before he could return to Xingyang. Lin Ruyu immediately nodded, "Let's do it before the end of the year."
Take a trip."
Old Man Fang smiled gently, "You can take a boat with your grandfather."
Lin Ruyu persuaded, "Your second elder will stay a few more days, and it will not be too late to come back next spring." Isn't that right, mother?"
Fang, who was more than three months pregnant and had not yet shown her pregnancy, sat next to her mother and smiled very happily, "Your grandfather can't let go of the house, and your grandmother stays in Xuanzhou and will go back when your mother is out of confinement."
"Wow-" Lin Ruyu, Lin Rumei, and Lu Yuchun exclaimed in unison. No wonder the mother smiled like a child, it turned out that her mother would stay here with her until she gave birth and finished her confinement.
In this way, it will take more than half a year, and Lin Ruyu is also happy for her mother.
"Madame!" The steward Lin Feng ran into the backyard, and before anyone arrived, a voice with twelve points of joy arrived first, "The wife and girl of General Luo Peiyi of Chuzhou and the housekeeper of the Marquis of Wu'an in Xingyang City came over together to give the girl a dowry gift!"
What? The Lin family all stood up, and Lin Ruyu subconsciously stepped forward to support her mother, "Mother, don't get excited, sit down."
Fang Shi held the arms of his mother and daughter, and said happily, "Father, mother, you two elders will stay here for a while, and your daughter and children will go out to greet them."
Although she was pregnant, Fang's steps were still brisk, and as she walked, she instructed the stewards and servants in the mansion to prepare to welcome the distinguished guests, and then said to the family, "General Luo Peiyi of Chuzhou is Shen Ge's uncle, and the Wu'an Hou Mansion invited Mrs. Luo to come over and give us a dowry, which is enough to give us face. We can't afford to be slow......
At the end of July, Shen Ge grabbed Feng Xiao and confirmed his identity. Shen Cunyu will definitely send the good news back to Xingyang, and after Wu'an Hou got the news, he ordered someone to prepare a dowry from Xingyang to Xuanzhou on the way, and also went to Chuzhou. King An rebelled, the Yangtze River states were in chaos, and the people of the Marquis of Wu'an escorted the dowry, which must have taken more than twice as long as in peacetime.
In this way, Wu Anhou almost got the good news, so he began to prepare a dowry and send it out of Xingyang City. He not only agrees with this family business, but also attaches great importance to it, so he will invite Mrs. Luo to come over to give a dowry gift.
How could this not make Fang's happy and excited.
Although the Lin family had saved Wu'anhou on Guanyin Mountain outside Haolianzhai in Qi County in July last year, and was kind to Wu'anhou's mansion, Wu'anhou helped the Lin family even more later, and also sent someone to protect Lin Ruyu, and this kindness had already returned.
Besides, it's not a little bit bad that the two families are poor, and the Fang family is even ready to disagree with this family affair in the Marquis of Wu'an, but I didn't expect people to come thousands of miles away to give a dowry gift.
