Chapter 41: Shennong Xie's
Chapter 41: Shennong Xie's
Qu Gao found Shi Min and reported the current situation of Luoyang and the policy of changing grains, but Shi Min interrupted him without waiting for him to finish speaking, and replied: "Since I have handed over Luoyang to you to take care of, you can take up your mind on everything, and you don't have to report everything to me." You just have to tell me, who disobeys you? And what do you need? ”
Qu Gao was stunned, and secretly sighed that this general's mind is really heroic and broad, no wonder so many people are willing to work for him, and he is not verbose at the moment, and said bluntly: "I want the token key of Luoyang Mansion!" ”
Shi Min grabbed a bunch of things from under the table, threw them directly into Qu Gao's arms, and said: "The treasury, the dungeon, and the key tokens of each department and department are all given to you, I am going to hunt in Beishan in the next few days, and Luoyang will be handed over to you!" So saying, he picked a good bow from the wall and strode away.
Qu Gao took the key and went to the treasury first, full of gold, silver and jewelry, so that Qu Gao couldn't help but admire the richness of the capital of Luoyang. No matter who is in the camp now, Luoyang has always been Luoyang, the capital of the Han people for thousands of years, carrying the faith of the children of the Han people, Qu Gao secretly made up his mind to do his best to restore the prosperity of Luoyang!
Coming out of the treasury, Qu Gao walked to a very heavily guarded place, and the word "dungeon" was engraved on the door wall, Qu Gao walked in with curiosity.
As soon as I entered the dungeon, a foul smell of fish came to my nose, and there were bursts of wails not far away, as if someone was torturing the prisoner. Qu Gao walked a few steps quickly, and sure enough, the center of the road in front of him was wide and open, and all sides were covered with various torture instruments. At this time, several prisoners were tied to the torture rack, and the jailers tortured them. What are you doing here? Qu Gao showed the token and sword, and several jailers hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Excellency is here, what do you command?" Qu Gao replied: "It's okay, passing by, what crimes have these people committed?" The jailer replied: "These are prisoners of war during the attack on Luoyang, and they are unwilling to be surrendered, and they will be punished ten times every three days." Seeing that they were begging for mercy, the jailer explained, "It's too late to surrender, and once they're here, they can't get out, that's our rule." ”
Although Qu Gao had sympathy and forbearance in his heart, he was inconvenient to intervene, and faintly heard the screams of a woman in front of him, so he continued to walk forward.
More than a dozen rooms ahead, all of them were women's cells, and the screams were getting closer and closer, and Qu Gao could see from a distance that several jailers were taking turns violating a female prisoner, and they were still foul language.
"Stop!" Qu Gao shouted angrily and rushed forward quickly. When several jailers saw that someone was coming, they hurriedly tidied up their clothes, and when they saw the swords of the comer, they hurriedly retreated to the side.
Qu Gao stepped forward and saw a beautiful girl lying on the bench like a dead corpse, and the clothes on her body were messily thrown aside, Qu Gao picked up her clothes, covered the girl, and asked softly, "Girl, can you get up?" ”
The girl sat up slowly, looked at Qu Gao, smiled sadly, and said: "You are not a soldier of the Qiang clan, you look like a chivalrous man, and like him, you always feel that you are a hero." ”
Although Qu Gao didn't know who he was in the girl's mouth, he guessed that it should be his intended person, and asked, "What is the girl's name, but there is still a family member?" Qu Gao saw that she was young and suffered such insults in prison, which was really pitiful, and he had already planned to save her.
"Zhuang Chun." The girl spit out her name word by word, suddenly pulled out the long sword in Qu Hand, and stabbed it into her abdomen, Qu Gao did not expect her to commit suicide, and when she reacted, the girl could no longer support it and fell to the ground softly.
"Girl!" Qu Gao squatted down, held the girl steady, and couldn't bear to say: "Why are you trying to kill yourself, I can save you out." ”
"It is better to die by your sword than by their hands." The girl's eyes gradually lost focus, staring vacantly at the skylight on the top of the prison, and muttering, "Hero...... It's not so easy to be, how can you ...... You won't listen to me......" As he spoke, his eyes closed and his body softened completely.
Seeing this, several jailers were a little flustered, and one of them stepped forward and said: "My lord, this woman was originally the daughter of a high-ranking official in Luoyang, and all of her people died, and now she committed suicide and just happened to be reunited with her family." ”
Qu Gao stared at the jailer angrily, and he wanted to draw his sword and kill these few beasts and beasts, but at this time he was just a general, although Shi Min was particularly preferential and entrusted with high-ranking officials, but he knew that this Luoyang City had not yet reached the point where he was presumptuous. Calming his anger, Qu Gao turned around and was about to leave.
"Childe stays!" Suddenly, a female voice called out to Qu Gao.
Qu Gao searched for it and saw a woman in a cell not far away, with her hands outstretched, as if calling Qu Gao. Qu Gao stepped forward, saw that the woman still had a big belly, and asked, "You called me?" ”
When the woman saw Qu Gao coming to find, her eyes were a little more bright, and she hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Concubine Xie, the fetus in the womb is full-term, and it is about to give birth, ask the son to be gracious and save my son's life, and the concubine will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay the kindness of the son!" As he spoke, he bowed to Qu Gao again and again.
Qu Gao saw that her belly was as high as a drum, and she was still kneeling on the ground, very reluctantly, and couldn't help but think that when Zhang was separated from him, she also had a big belly and was unable to move. Thinking of this time, I couldn't help but feel unbearable, and said, "You get up first." Qu Gao turned to the jailer and asked, "What kind of felony has this woman committed?" ”
The jailer said: "This female Xie family, who was just arrested a few days ago, is said to be the Xie family who hid a secret treasure and refused to hand it over, so they raided her home and tied her up. Qu Gao asked what the secret treasure was, and the jailer shook his head and didn't know.
Luoyang Xie! Known as the descendants of Shennong, the Xie family has been a famous doctor in the past dynasties, and enjoys a good reputation in the Xiangluo area, and is a highly respected doctor. "And if I'm going to let her go, will it work?" Qu Gao asked tentatively.
"This ......" The jailer hesitated for a moment, and immediately said, "Whoever the adults want to release is a matter of one sentence." After saying that, he immediately ordered someone to open the door lock.
Qu Gao was not used to living in a camp, so he found a courtyard in the city, and after taking the woman back to the courtyard, Xu walked around this long distance, and the woman became abdominal pain. Qu Gao immediately instructed Jian Yijian and Jian Er to go to the city to find the doctor and the midwife, and worked all night, and finally gave birth to a baby girl at dawn.
"Thank you Gongzi, Gongzi is chivalrous and willing, he will be rewarded." After Xie gave birth, he was very weak, but he still insisted on holding his newborn child and thanking Qu Gao in person: "I named my daughter Bai Zhi, Xie Bai Zhi, and I haven't asked my son's name yet." ”
"Xiangyang Qugao." Qu Gao asked: "I heard that the Xie family has the name of the descendants of Shennong, and it also has a century-old reputation in Luoyang, but there are still survivors now?" ”
"Qu Lang turned out to be from the Xiangyang people's clan, no wonder he is different from the Zhao people." When Xie Shi heard Qu Gao's question, he asked a little vigilantly, "Didn't Qu Lang Mo also want the whereabouts of the secret treasure?" ”
Qu Gao shook his head and replied: "I don't even know what secret treasures you have, how can I talk about greed?" It's just that you are a doctor after all, and you can benefit all people, and you don't deserve to die here. If there are other clansmen, I can send you out of Luoyang. ”
Xie Shi was quite moved when she heard this, she thought about it for a while, and there was no other way out except to believe in Qu Gao, so she told the clansmen where they were hiding. Qu Gao sent Eight Swords to find the Xie family's hiding place, prepared the carriage, and personally sent them out of Luoyang.
