Chapter 690 Robber
In a civilian house in Jinling City, four soldiers rummaged through the house like wolves and tigers to search for things. And the owners of the house were all curled up on the ground, not daring to move.
Two quarters of an hour later, the four soldiers packed the looted things into boxes. An old woman who was curled up on the ground saw the Jade Buddha in the hands of the soldiers, rushed up and shouted without thinking: "You robbers are not afraid of thunder, and even snatched the Buddha."
The old woman got up so suddenly that the young woman beside her didn't pay attention and fell to the ground.
The soldier holding the Jade Buddha waved his hand, and the old woman fell to the ground. The old woman did not get up, but lay on the bed and cried bitterly.
The oldest soldier among the four was tired of hearing it, and cursed: "If you keep making noise, I will kill you."
When the old woman heard this, her throat seemed to be stuck, and she made another sound.
The oldest and oldest soldier looked at the young woman who was tripped by the old woman and said, "You, stand up."
Although the young woman was dressed in coarse cloth and had a straight belly, she did not damage her appearance in the slightest.
Seeing this, the soldier next to him lowered his voice and said: "Old cat, don't forget the military order." Among the military orders, there is a sentence that jiān/yín women, beheaded. The soldier was reminding this old cat not to be fooled by beauty and lose his life.
The old cat rolled his eyes at the person who was talking to him, and said, "You think I'm you, and you can do anything that smells good." He doesn't have such a strong taste when he is jealous of a big belly.
When the young woman heard this, she hugged her stomach and kept crying, begging for mercy: "Master, please forgive me!"
The old cat said gloomily: "If you don't stand up again, don't blame me for killing you." The old cat was actually trying to scare everyone. Although they can come out to rob property, they cannot harm the lives of innocent people.
The young woman was so frightened that she trembled all over and couldn't get up at all. In the end, under the old cat's murderous eyes, the man next to the woman helped her up.
The old cat stared at the young woman for a while, then pulled out the knife and put it on the man's neck, saying: "Give me the things she hid, or don't blame me for not having eyes with the knife."
The young man was so frightened that he lost control, and said with a mournful face: "Yu Niang, give them something, hurry up."
The other three soldiers watched as the young woman wept and took out gold and silver jewelry from her arms. Of course, her protruding belly gradually deflated.
Seeing this, the soldier holding the Jade Buddha just now couldn't help cursing: "Damn, you really know how to hide. It seems that if you don't let them bleed, they won't hand over everything." Who would have thought that this would be What a fake pregnant woman!
The old cat said: "No matter how hard you squeeze, you won't get anything out, so quickly put the things in boxes." Seeing the woman crying like a dead father, she knew that she had no more belongings.
For this family alone, the four of them looted more than twenty boxes. The old cat saw that it was almost done, and immediately went out to ask someone to pull a cart to install it. Northwest soldiers did not rob civilians before, but the problem is that those rich people will transfer their property to civilian areas when they get the news. So now, civilian areas are not spared. But the people who can be sent out to search for things are those who are old. These people's eyes are very poisonous, whether they are rich or not, they can tell at a glance.
The things were transported away, and a few soldiers patted their buttocks and left. The old woman looked at the messy house and burst into tears: "These robbers who killed thousands of knives, why didn't the Bodhisattva kill them! God, do you have eyes?"
The young woman's eyes were red with anger: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been discovered."
The old woman was furious when she heard this: "You've gone against the sky?" How dare you speak of her.
The young woman also went all out at this time: "I'll just scold you.
If it weren't for you old man, my gold and silver jewelry could be kept. The livelihood of such a family has been settled for the time being. Now that I have nothing, what will I live on in the future? "
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started working, but the soldiers who had gone far could not hear them.
The thin soldier asked with admiration: "Old Mao, how did you know that the woman's stomach is fake?" He didn't notice it at all!
The old cat said: "With such a big belly, if someone pushes it on the ground, it will definitely cause fetal gas. But that woman seemed to be fine, and she got up by herself." It was also the young woman who had never been pregnant, so she pretended not to be. Otherwise, he would not be so easy to find.
The thin soldier said: "Looks like you have to pay attention next time, and you can't be taken advantage of by these people anymore." These people hide things in all kinds of places, hiding in wells and pits are all pediatrics, and Throw it in the toilet and latrine, this time there is even a pregnant woman hiding in her belly. It has to be said that they have really learned a lot.
The old cat said: "It's impossible to search cleanly, and it's almost finished." These days, they came back with a full reward every time they came out. In the past, if they searched all of them, they might not have so many things at once. It has to be said that Jinling deserves to be the richest place in the world.
Because of this wanton looting of property, the Northwest soldiers left a name of robber in Jiangnan. Of course, the soldiers in the Northwest wouldn't care if they heard about it.
Guan Tai happily said: "This time I really got rich." Gold and silver jewellery, antique calligraphy and painting, silk and satin, and those beautiful embroideries are really innumerable. As for military supplies such as medicinal materials and food, not to mention, Guan Tai didn't even close his mouth when he saw Xixi for the first time.
Yun Qing said lightly: "Most of the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is gathered in Yu Baojia's treasury in Qiantang." If Yu Baojia's treasury can be seized, he and Yuxi won't have to worry about money for the time being.
Du Zheng said with a smile: "My lord is right."
At noon this day, Yunqing received a letter from Yuxi. After reading it, Yunqing's complexion was not very good-looking.
Seeing this, Du Zheng asked, "My lord, did something happen to the city of pickaxe?" right.
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "It's some housework." He didn't want to tell other people about Yu Xi's plan. The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, otherwise Yu Yuxi's reputation will be hindered.
Du Zheng was a little puzzled, why would the princess talk to the prince about some troublesome housework, this is not something the princess would do. But Du Zheng also had a sense of propriety, so he didn't ask.
Yun Qing said to Du Zheng: "You go down first! I want to be quiet."
From the bottom of my heart, Yunqing doesn't agree with Yuxi's method. But he also knew that although Yuxi's method was not open and aboveboard, it could achieve his goal at the least cost. Yunqing knew that Yuxi did nothing wrong, but she still felt very uncomfortable.
Guan Tai asked Du Zheng a little strangely: "What happened? Why do you feel that the prince is in a bad mood?" Although Yunqing always had a cold face, it was not as cold as it is now, so cold that it could freeze into slag up.
Du Zheng said: "The concubine told the lord some housework, and the lord is not in a good mood. As for what it is, the lord didn't say anything, so I can't ask."
Guan Tai complained a little: "The princess is really true. The prince is fighting here, how can he use some trivial housework to upset the prince?"
Du Zheng shook his head and said: "If it's just a trivial matter at home, the princess would definitely not write a letter to tell the prince. I'm afraid this matter will not be simple."
Thinking about Yuxi's character, Guan Tai nodded and said: "Since the prince won't say anything, then it's not easy for us to ask."
Gao Song is not like Du Zheng and others. He heard about this and found an opportunity to ask Yun Qing: "My lord, what did the princess say that bothered you so much?"
Yun Qing felt that this was very right, it seemed that Yu Xi deliberately said something that bothered him. Yun Qing glanced at Gao Song and said, "What do you mean?"
Gao Song heard the displeasure in Yun Qing's words and his heart shuddered, but he didn't show it on his face, and said respectfully: "My lord has frowned tightly these days, and I looked a little worried. I asked Du Zheng to find out that it's from the palace." thing."
Yunqing hummed and said: "It's just some trivial housework, nothing to worry about." No matter how much Yunqing is, he doesn't want to say more, and Yuxi can't let others criticize her even if she has gone too far.
Gao Song said with a smile: "This way I can feel at ease."
Yun Qing remembered one thing and said, "I heard that you accepted a beauty last night?" Those officials who surrendered wanted to seek asylum, so they tried to send them beauties. As for the money, they have already handed it over honestly. As for whether to submit all of them, this is hard to say.
There are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and few normal men can't bear to see those beauties who are so charming. Of course, except for those with extraordinary concentration, and Yunqing belongs to this kind of people. Also because Yunqing didn't accept it, Du Zheng, Guan Tai and others also confiscated it.
Gao Song's heart tightened, he nodded and said, "Yes!" The beauty was pitiful and charming, and he couldn't hold back for a moment before accepting it. Unexpectedly, the prince found out so soon. But last night that beauty made him enjoy the ultimate happiness, even if Yun Qing blamed him, he would not regret it.
Yun Qing said: "You have to be measured, don't be intoxicated by beauty." There is a saying that is very good, the town of beauties, the tomb of heroes. Originally, he wouldn't take care of the personal matter of recruiting beauties for the generals below, but now he was worried that they would be intoxicated with tenderness and thus lose their fighting spirit.
Gao Song said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I won't." He said so on the surface, but he was thinking that the taste of Jiangnan women is really different from that of Northwest women.
Yunqing stayed in Jinling for ten days, and after everything was settled, he led troops to attack Suzhou. As for Du Zheng and Guan Tai, they led troops to fight Yangzhou and Jiangzhou five days ago.
The news of Jinling spread to the capital one by one. Yan Wushuang sneered and said, "This time, Yunqing not only snatched up those gentry, rich households and official families, but even ordinary people."
Meng Nian was a little surprised: "Even ordinary people are not spared? How is this different from robbers?"
Yan Wushuang said: "In the Northwest Army, there were many people who came from bandits and robbers. These people are best at looting money." There was a strong sense of sarcasm in his words. The former Yunqing was such an upright person, but under the influence of Han Yuxi, he became like a robber.
Thinking of this, Yan Wushuang said: "Women, sometimes it's really scary." It can change a person's temperament, but it's not scary.
Meng Nian shook his head and said, "It should be a woman like Han Yuxi, that would be scary." Without Han Yuxi, there would be no Yunqing today.
While talking, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside: "My lord, Tongcheng is urgent." Yan Wushuang received the news in February that the Donghu people gathered troops to attack Liaodong, so Liaodong has been preparing for the war for the past two months. This is why Yan Wushuang didn't let Lou Qingyun send troops.
When Yan Wushuang received the battle report, his face was a little ugly: "I didn't expect the Donghu people to come so fiercely this time." Tongcheng could hardly withstand the Donghu people's offensive.
Tongcheng was in a hurry, and Qiu Dashan knew the news soon. Qiu Dashan asked Zhan to go to Tongcheng that day. Qiu Dashan said, "My lord, I can't do anything if I stay in the capital, so just let me go back to Tongcheng!" Fighting Donghu people will not be as suffocating as in Fuyang.
Yan Wushuang thought about it and nodded in agreement. Because of the urgency of the war, Qiu Dashan set off immediately without delay.
Tie Kui received a letter from Qiu Dashan the next day. Seeing Qiu Dashan say in the letter that he regretted that Tie Kui could not kill Donghu people with him, Tie Kui smiled wryly. Even if he was not ill, Yan Wushuang would not let him go to Liaodong.
Zhong Shantong told Tie Kui one thing: "Kuizi, I heard that if it weren't for Lu Gang, Tongcheng might have been captured by the Donghu people." Once Tongcheng was broken, the entire Liaodong would be in flames of war.
Tie Kui said: "Lu Gang has made such a great contribution, I believe that Master Lu and the others will have a better life." After finishing speaking, Tie Kui couldn't help but said: "Speaking of which, Lin Fengyuan can be considered a man." At that time, the second master of the Lu family A family was in distress, and everyone avoided it like the plague, for fear of being implicated. Only Lin Fengyuan, who was not afraid of being implicated, let alone being suspected by Yan Wushuang, came forward to settle Master Lu's family.
When Zhong Shantong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Lin Fengyuan also invited to fight this time, but the prince did not agree."
Tie Kui chuckled and said: "Lin Fengyuan is very talented and has a good character, but unfortunately his master and senior brothers and sisters are all Yuxi's confidantes, Yan Wushuang is worried about him." The person who can make Yan Wushuang feel at ease is really Two slaps can't count.
Speaking of Lin Fengyuan's master, Zhong Shantong couldn't help but said: "I heard that the medicine made by this master surnamed Yang is very effective and can save lives at critical moments. I wonder if it is true?"
Tie Kui said: "In the future, I should be able to see myself. Speaking of which, this is also Yuxi's ability. In the past, everyone only knew that Master Yang was good at martial arts, but they didn't know that he was also good at medicine." Good medicine can save a soldier's life. So Yuxi discovered this talent of Master Yang, and saved many soldiers' lives.
Zhong Shantong said: "I wonder if there will be a chance to meet Princess Pingxi in the future?" He really wanted to meet this legendary person.
Hearing this, Tie Kui looked at Zhong Shan with disapproval and said, "Don't say such bad things in the future, we will definitely see Yu Xi." He is Yu Xi's biological uncle, and as long as he is alive, he can see Yu Xi Hee.
Zhong Shantong said with a smile, "I will pay attention next time." It was mainly because Zhong Shantong had no idea in his heart that he said such frustrating words.
Tie Kui didn't get too entangled in this matter: "Is the mansion still peaceful these few days?" He has been ill for more than half a month, and it is believed that the surrounding people have all withdrawn. As for those who are in the mansion for a while, they will not leave, and those who are hiding in the dark are even less likely to leave.
Zhong Shantong said: "Except for Aunt Lu's disturbance a few times, these days in the mansion are quite peaceful." Speaking of this, Zhong Shantong said with a smile: "After Madam came back from Zhuangzi, she seems to have changed the person and took care of the inner courtyard. It's well organized, and Aunt Lu didn't get any advantage by making a fuss in front of her."
Xiao's previous disadvantage was not because she was incompetent, but because she had a grudge against Tie Kui, and she lacked confidence in not having a son. But now that she knew that Tie Kui had a problem and gave birth to a son, naturally Aunt Lu wouldn't bother her anymore.
Tie Kui hummed and said, "That's good." He can also leave all the family affairs to Xiao Shi. (to be continued)
