Volume 1 Chapter 746 The Wu Family
The person who came was a little old man in his forties and fifties, his beard and hair were not white, and when he saw Xu He and the others, he hurriedly dismounted and said: "I've seen the horse, the little old man's surname is Wu!" ”
He still wanted to speak, but Xu He interrupted: "You are Mr. Wu, a famous squire in Zunhua, right?" ”
"Don't dare to be the word [sir]!" Wu Yingzhe's speech is neither humble nor arrogant.
Xu He looked at him and asked directly, "Why are you here?" ”
"This ......"
Wu Yingzhe was stunned, Xu He was obviously pretending to be confused, the people are all long-term workers and tenant farmers in their own families, and the wood behind you is also your own handiwork, why are you asking me to come?
However, he is really not easy to answer this question, because he has nothing to do with Yizhou Mountain Factory at all, and there is no human resources company in this era.
Thinking of this, Wu Yingzhe suddenly felt that it seemed that this was not bad, yes, what am I doing here? Something happened here, so what does it have to do with me? That's all Ambassador Cang's problem!
Wu Yingzhe felt that the clouds were open in front of him, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Back to the horse, the dog is the prefect of Qingzhou, Shandong, I heard the world-famous Xu Horse come to my Zunhua, the little old man on behalf of my dog to do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, the village has prepared water and wine, and please enjoy the face of the horse!" ”
Xu He looked at Li Yi and Zhou Bi beside him and said: "It turned out to be the gentry's house, and Jinlang is still a dignified prefect, which is rude!" ”
Zhou Bi and Li Yi smiled at Xu He.
Xu He looked at Wu Yingzhe and said, "Since that's the case, then bother!" ”
Wu Yingzhe was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Please, please!" ”
……
Looking at Wu Yingzhe, who was leading the way in front, Zhou Bi whispered beside Xu He: "Childe, why do you have a seizure for a while?" ”
Xu He shook his head: "Let's act when the opportunity arises!" ”
A few people thought that the Wu family was not far from the Kuraba Office, but who knew that it took half an hour to ride a horse.
When they arrived at Wu's house, Xu He and the others had shocked expressions on their faces.
The Wu family was built on a mountain called Shooting Tiger's Mouth, where a muddy and dilapidated official road extends to the west, standing on the mountain, like a long snake, with no head in sight.
And the Wu family is next to the official road on the top of the mountain.
Said to be home, really a little underestimate the Wu family, this is built against the cliff, one side faces the official road, and the other three sides are stone dock forts.
This thing is really a new thing for Xu He, who was born in Jiangnan.
But Li Yi, who had been in the north for a long time, saw Xu He's face showing surprise, so he explained: "Rich people in the north are doing this, one is to prevent bandits, and the other is to prevent officials and soldiers!" ”
Xu He nodded, he looked at the stone wall of the dock fort, and saw that there were arrow towers, watchtowers, and even small holes for shooting.
This can't be called a village anymore, it's just a small town!
The point is that there are still more than a dozen heads hanging on the gatehouse of the village, and the heads have long been air-dried, and they are covered with dry hair, which looks extremely terrifying.
After Wu Yingzhe called to open the gate of the village, he beat the horse and came to Xu He and the others and arched his hand: "Horses, two adults, please come in, please come in......"
Zhou Bi pretended to be surprised, pointed at the top of the gate with a horsewhip and asked, "The head on this gate ......?"
Wu Yingzhe was angry when he said this: "They are all bandits and rogues, they were killed by us, and their heads were cut off to make an example!" ”
Xu He became interested: "There are bandits in this place?" ”
"Too many!" Wu Yingzhe led everyone to walk towards the dock fort and said: "The official road runs more than ten miles to the west, and there is a pole not far to the north!" ”
"Oh, the pole is the bandit!" Wu Yingzhe thought that Xu He was a boy who didn't understand anything, and hurriedly explained.
Xu He nodded: "How many people?" ”
"The number of people varies, and at most I have seen about 2,000 people! The leader is called the King of Razorgrad! I heard it was a deserter! ”
Li Yi said curiously: "Then why didn't Ma Lanyu's officers and soldiers clear it?" ”
"Hey, this lord, don't mention it, these people are shrewd, but if there is a little wind and grass, they immediately cross the Great Wall and run to the territory of Liaodong Xingdusi or Nuer Gandusi, who will catch it? Nobody cares! ”
At this time, several people had already walked into the dock fort, and the scene inside the dock fort was even more unexpected to Xu He and the others.
The dock fort was full of low shacks, the roads were muddy, and every household heard the sound of horses, and all of them hid in their houses, and then looked curiously at Xu He's faces through the windows.
"The small people in the township, it is rare to see outsiders, but it is a joke for the horses!"
Xu He and the others smiled slightly and continued to look inside the dock fort.
Several people were more and more frightened the more they walked, and the more they walked, the more they felt that the Wu family was unfathomable.
Don't look at this castle seems to be full of dilapidation, but the walls of each house are stone walls, and turn around, the layout in the village is obviously regular, if there are no acquaintances, it is wishful thinking to find out the environment inside.
Not long after leaving, a mansion appeared in front of Xu He and the others.
The house was built completely differently from the rich families in the south.
The house was all black, except for the main house, which was made of bricks and tiles, and the others were stone houses.
Especially in the courtyard, there are more than two people high, and there are watchtowers, battlements, and perforations.
Wu Yingzhe turned his head at this time and said: "Don't you, someone has been notified, you will follow me into the house to drink tea first, and the wine and food will be ready in a while. ”
As soon as his words fell, suddenly a scolding voice came from the courtyard: "Dog, your special mother's eyes are on the cheeks, dare to rape our Wujiabao woman!" If Lao Tzu doesn't give you a gelding today, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Wu. ”
Xu He turned his head to look at the source of the sound, but he didn't see anyone in the courtyard, but there were a few figures shaking in the window of the east wing.
Wu Yingzhe frowned and said, "Go, ask the little beast to come out and see the distinguished guest!" ”
After speaking, he explained to Xu He with a smile: "A talent who went to the township to test, the little old man kindly took him in to rest in the fort, who would have thought that this person was so bold that he actually raped the woman in the fort, and wanted to escape after being discovered, and was finally caught by my second son and is being interrogated!" Disturb your guests. ”
Xu He looked towards the house again, and saw a person hurriedly walked out, this person was fat and strong, and on a cold day, he had a right arm, like a pig killer.
Seeing that the man came to the front, Wu Yingzhe scolded: "Don't say hello to the donkey!" ”
The man stared at Xu He with swollen bubble eyes, and knelt down on one knee with a fist and said: "In Xia Wu Zhen, I have seen the horses, and I have seen all the adults!" ”
Wu Yingzhe said to Xu He with a smile: "The two sons in the family, the eldest Wu Yun is still competitive, and now he is the prefect in Shandong, this second child, hey, after passing the martial arts examination a few years ago, he has been messing around at home every day, and he doesn't know how to improve!" ”
Xu He laughed secretly in his heart, you are secretly poking and poking to show off, he said to Wu Qian: "Get up!" ”
He said to Wu Yingzhe: "The second son of the Wu family is one scholar and one martial artist, the old castle lord is so blessed!" ”
"Hahaha, please come in, please come in......"
