False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

"Wang Wu, your mother is dead.ɱ"

The man named Wang Wu was carrying a bundle of firewood just brought from the outskirts of the city.

This bundle of firewood can be sold to a wealthy family for a hundred dollars.

Nowadays, there are floods around Gyeonggi and food prices have skyrocketed.

Even the items in the capital are priced at one price per day, and even this one hundred dollars can't support a middle-aged man!

Wang Wu also has an elderly mother in his home.

After hearing what his neighbor said, Wang Wu was stunned, and immediately dropped the bundle of firewood in his hand and ran home.

I saw many people surrounding the dilapidated house.

These are the neighbors near Wang Wu.

When an aunt saw Wang Wu coming back, she quickly greeted: "Wang Wu, Wang Wu is back!!"

"Everyone, what is going on? My mother..."

Wang Wuke remembered that when he went out early in the morning, his mother was still alive at home.

"It's nothing. Aunt Wang just fainted from hunger. She needs to eat something good, otherwise her body will collapse."

An old man wearing a shabby gown walked out tremblingly carrying a medicine box.

This old man is a nearby doctor.

Seeing what the other party said, Wang Wu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately smiled bitterly.

Nursing care costs money.

Wang Wu's family was so poor that even mice were unwilling to visit.

Walking on the street, Wang Wu felt very heavy.

Fortunately, he had a good reputation among his neighbors, and he was willing to help anyone with anything, so he asked his neighbors to chip in some money and pay for the consultation.

When Wang Wu returned to the place where he had just left the firewood, he saw that even the carrying pole had been taken away by some filthy guy.

Wang Wu was so angry that he cursed loudly. After he finished cursing, he slumped down on the street with a miserable expression.

"Have you heard? The Five Cities Army and Horses Department is recruiting people, and they will pay a lot of money for ten days!"

A drop of money is converted into a thousand coins, and at the same time it can be exchanged for one tael of silver.

A drop of money? !

Wang Wu, who heard the whispers from passers-by, stood up immediately, hesitated for a moment and walked towards the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division.

As the rumor goes.

The 50% Soldiers and Horses Department is indeed recruiting people.

Wang Wu was chosen because of his strength gained through years of hard work.

These selected men were thrown onto the training ground of the 50% Soldiers and Horses Division.

Before Wang Wu could understand what was happening, he saw a fat military attache standing on the martial arts stage.

hiss!

Wang Wu's eyes were full of awe.

It is rare to see such high-ranking officials and low-level people like Wang Wu several times in this life.

One after another, Wang Wu noticed that there were more people in the training ground, a total of five or six hundred people.

Then the military attache asked someone to bring out a pile of leather armor, swords and guns.

Let the people present choose.

Wang Wu stood in the front row and was lucky enough to be given a broadsword and leather armor.

However, when he got the item, Wang Wu was dumbfounded.

This leather armor was full of insect bite marks, and even the fixed ropes were broken.

There is also this rusty broadsword, which makes people wonder whether it can be used to kill chickens.

nature.

The weapons and armor assigned to everyone present were all very similar.

After the division, Wang Wu learned that he was already a soldier of the 50% Army and Horse Division.

"This is the reward. Tomorrow I will follow my captain to Wuyou Cave to encircle and suppress the underground thieves!"

After the fat military attache who called himself Captain finished speaking, he asked his men to bring a box of copper coins and then left.

On the other hand, everyone in the school looked at each other in shock.

As people from the capital, they had naturally heard of the name Wuyou Cave.

I heard that if you put on these clothes, you have to fight with those desperate gangsters, so some people quit.

After all, you have the money, but you have no place to spend it!

Under the clamor of the crowd, hundreds of men ran away.

Wang Wu also wanted to run away, but he couldn't bear to part with the copper coins in the box.

Because everyone can get a piece of Anjia reward money!

Wang Wu took the money he received and bought a lot of grain and some meat to go home.

After paying back the neighbor's money, Wang Wu just served his mother something to eat.

Wang Wu gulped down the meat in preparation for fighting for his life tomorrow.

That night, Wang Wu slept soundly.

At least I didn't wake up hungry in the middle of the night.

Early in the morning, Wang Wu came to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division to report.

After seeing the many soldiers who had gathered, Wang Wu felt a little more courageous.

This time, there were as many as two thousand soldiers going to surround Wuyou Cave!

At noon, the captain in fancy armor mounted his horse with the help of his servants.

"Set off!"

Looking back now, even if Wang Wu died of starvation, he would not come to the underground of Wuyou Cave!

Under this worry-free cave, which extends in all directions, you can't even see your fingers.

In addition, the terrain is narrow, and some places can only be entered by a single person bending down.

Moreover, the ground is full of filth, and you will step on it if you are not careful.

Of course, this is not the most terrible place.

The mighty soldiers of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division filed into the underground.

The leading captain retreated before entering, handed over the command to a captain with 50% of the troops, and ran away.

I know Wang Wu, the school captain.

He usually patrols at the city gate, and from time to time he knocks a few ingots of silver from the hands of merchants coming and going.

Under the leadership of the commanding officer, the group had just been marching in Wuyou Cave for half an hour when the team of two thousand people was reduced by half.

None of the so-called robbers were seen.

This actually made Wang Wu breathe a sigh of relief.

However!

Those men wearing brown cloth shorts rushed out from the corner with short swords and cut off the remaining queue of a thousand people in the middle.

This group of people even wore iron armor and held crossbows!

As soon as they met, seven or eight people around Wang Wu fell down.

As for the captain, his head was cut off by some Wuyou Cave rat.

Wang Wu noticed that the other party was looking at him, smiling with a ferocious expression.

Wang Wu was so frightened that he fainted on the spot. He didn't know how long it took before he woke up faintly.

After waking up, I saw that the ground was full of broken corpses and minced meat, and the smell of blood rushed straight to Wang Wu's Tianling Gai.

Wang Wu, who didn't know why he survived, ran outside like crazy.

He was really lucky. He didn't encounter anyone from Wuyou Cave along the way and ran back to the ground.

The disheveled Wang Wu was almost arrested as a madman.

Soon, through the mouths of surviving soldiers like Wang Wu, what happened underground quickly spread in the capital.

Of the two thousand soldiers who went down to the cave, very few came back alive!

While Wuyou Cave gained a new reputation, numerous impeachment memorials were sent to the emperor.

Snapped!

Li Zhao, who had the memorial in his hand torn into pieces, had no trace of joy or anger on his face.

"The decree is sent to arrest Zhang Maoxing, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, for questioning, and to order the Ministry of Punishment to investigate him for his ineffective suppression of bandits and embezzlement of money!"

It can be seen that Li Zhao must be in a bad mood at this time.

Once these charges are confirmed, Zhang Maoxing will most likely lose his life.

"There are also four captains from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division who were all fined and dismissed from their posts and demoted to common people!"

Li Zhao suddenly looked at Shangguan Wan'er and pointedly said: "Wan'er, what do you think about letting Lin Chen go to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division as the captain?"
