major general

With the intervention of officers and soldiers, Xuzhou was closed again.

Zhou Chong and Yan Zhou went to live in Lianqiao Villa, while the [-] Wen Family Army returned to the south bank and continued to guard the extended coastline.

Xuzhou is waiting to be rebuilt, but Chen Taishou is nowhere to be found. Wen Le remembered Wuhen's words, and led his soldiers to search beside Lianqiao Villa. Finally, he found a new house.

This new house is also very strange, there is a ruin next to it, it seems that the house was built together, the other side collapsed due to the earthquake, and this side was built more solidly and remained intact.

I don't know how much money this prefect Chen has been greedy for. A mansion is much more exquisite than that of the imperial palace. Wen Le stood outside, calling Si Zhu with a blank face, and said: "I'm angry when I look at that door, what are you doing?" I smashed it."

Can you not be angry?

The Fu family was the first to do something embedded in the door.At that time, there was really too much money and nothing to do. Fu Xiaoyu went back to court, and she stayed up all night reading books all the year round, and her eyes were not very good.

What the good guy said, which house is not dark.The palace is made of precious brown-red wood. No matter how rich your Fu family is, can you really surpass the emperor?

Fu Xiaoyu was so used to Jingui that he was displeased with looking at that door for several days.The craftsmen of the Fu family figured out a way to smash the luminous pearls into pieces, grind them into small particles with a twig, and place them one by one under the gate of the house.

At night, under the gate of the house, there will be a warm light like a halo of the moon, which looks very majestic.

And this Chen Taishou obviously didn't have the posture of smashing thousands of night pearls, and wanted to show his posture, he took miscellaneous gemstones and jade, and put them all on the door.

Sizhu took half a step forward, first knocked on the door, but no one answered, so she raised her leg and kicked the pearl and jade door in pieces.

The soldiers stepped forward, and in less than a moment, they surrounded the entire mansion tightly.

Wen Le walked inside with a silver gun in his hand, his patience with Chen Taishou was at its lowest.

The sound of the wooden door shattering made Yan Zhou tremble, Zhou Chong couldn't help laughing, pushed him to sit on the saddle, and squatted on the ground to wipe the dust from his clothes, saying: "Do you think the door inlaid with pearls and jade is lovely? "

Yan Zhou shook his head and said, "Extravagance and waste."

Zhou Chong rubbed his lightly frowned brows, pressed down on the mole between the eyebrows, and said, "Then we don't need pearls and jade, let me think about it... a lot of glazed stones were shipped from the South Bank earlier. , cheaper than these pearls and jade, they look translucent, and when we return to Luzhou, shall I let them be embedded on our door?"

Yan Zhou didn't want to bother his teachers, but he also liked Zhou Chong thinking about these things for him, so he agreed with a smile, and said, "That King Jing's Mansion is the most magnificent mansion in Lu Zhou."

"What's the Prince Jing's Mansion..." Zhou Chong said, the people who served him saw him squatting on the ground, hurriedly found a new horse tie, and begged him to sit down.

Zhou Chong lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down, holding Yan Zhou's hand, and said: "I will show you a more dignified look in the future."

Yan Zhou held Zhou Chong's hand tightly, and followed his gaze to look at the mansion of the prefect Chen.

The house door inlaid with pearls and jade was broken into several pieces, and the pearls and jades were on the ground, like some inconspicuous stones, the people who went in and out did not take it seriously.

The mansion was in chaos, the maids and servants were all under the control of officers and soldiers, Wen Le looked at a man in the crowd, pointed his silver gun at the man's throat, and said, "Where is Governor Chen?"

That man was the steward of the mansion, he was too frightened to move, but he forced himself to cheer up, and said sternly, "What is the officer doing? Because of the rebel army, the master can only guard this place, but there has never been anything wrong with it." .”

Wen Le chuckled, but confiscated the gun, and said: "As the prefect of Xuzhou, no matter what happens in the city, it is one crime to forcibly seal the city and cause the rebels to rise up; I own an acre of land, and there is so much commotion in the city, but your master never came to inform the city of any news. This is three crimes. If you don’t tell where your master is, you will be punished for multiple crimes, and this general will be fine. Behead him on the spot in this mansion, can you believe it?"

The housekeeper was so frightened that his legs were shaking, he pointed to the backyard and said, "There is, there is a secret door behind the yard."

Wen Le withdrew the gun, and Si Zhu who was beside him immediately led the people to the backyard.

The chair was placed under the shade of a tree. It rained heavily in Xuzhou yesterday. After standing for a long time, Wenle's knees hurt, so he sat on the chair to enjoy the cool.

The movement of several people moved from far to near, Wen Le opened his eyes wearily, watching Si Zhu escorting four or five people to come to him.

Chen Taishou has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and he is very greedy, but no one has ever impeached him, so he lives a fairy life here.He was extremely obese, and his loose clothes were so stretched that he couldn't see the pattern of the clothes.

Even if he hid in the secret door, Chen Taishou did not forget to bring his wife and concubine.

The five women each have their own merits, kneeling softly on the ground, some are Xiaojiabiyu, some are gentle and affectionate, if it is an ordinary man, I am afraid that I would have to envy Chen Taishou, unexpectedly, such a lucky, beautiful woman can as much as possible.

Wen Le's eyes didn't even look at Yingying Yanyan for a moment, he fell into sleepiness, looked at Chen Taishou, and said, "You are guilty."

Chen Taishou quickly knelt down, turned over the methods in his mind, and said: "I am guilty. The matter happened urgently, and I panicked for a while. There are twenty-one wives and children in my family. I am really afraid that this rebel army will hurt my wife and children." , and then hid in the suburbs."

Wen Le laughed angrily, clapped his hands, and said: "Chen Taishou said well, wives and children are really important. But who in the city has no wives and children? Even I have a wife at home, don't I follow the emperor's order and come here Xuzhou is suppressing the rebels. Prefect Chen thinks that your family is the only one with a wife and children in the world?"

Chen Taishou was sweating profusely, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Chen, Chen..."

"Don't worry, think about your excuses slowly." Wen Le recruited Si Zhu and said, "Take him to the prison of the county government and take good care of it."

"Yes, sir."

Back in Xuzhou City, Wen Le ran all over the street wearing a mask.There was no one on the way, and occasionally officers and soldiers came in and out.

After the closure of the city, Miao Yuan and all the imperial physicians stayed in the pharmacy day and night, and a dozen quack warlocks who did not know who sent them outside Xuzhou City shouted the name of Wen Le, saying that they were ordered by the second prince, Come and help.

Wen Le thought of Princess Yi'an, so he sent those quacks to go to the pharmacy and toss with the doctors by themselves.

The dead people burned their bodies and left their ashes.Wen Le considered that everyone in Xuzhou city was exhausted and could no longer withstand the slightest blow, so he called the officers and soldiers to mark who, where, and when they died, so that the common people would know how to write their tombstones when they buried their relatives.

The street is rare and quiet, occasionally coughing can be heard from the house.

Wenle walked all the way and returned to the prefect's mansion.Now he lives here temporarily, and it is also convenient for business affairs.As soon as Chen Taishou was arrested, many things were piled on him, so he had to pick up things and do them bit by bit.

Writing official documents made Wen Le feel dizzy. After thinking about it, he carried the pile of letters and walked to the next room.

Jin Yun's grandfather was old. After Li Yun's tossing, he still didn't survive, and died in the prefect's mansion seven days later.According to the rules, the bodies of the dead had to be burned.Wen Le thought that Jin Yun was still young, and that his grandfather did not die from the plague, so he called Miao Yuan to have a look, and after confirming that he could be buried, he helped Jin Yun bury his grandfather's body on a nearby mountain.

Wen Le heard from Sizhu that the Jin family used to be from Xuzhou, and there was a beautiful woman in the family who was Jin Yun's mother.It's a pity that Chen Taishou loves beauty, and he fell in love with that beautiful lady. Regardless of her being married and a woman, he tried every means to torment the Jin family.

The ancestors of the Jin family were all literati for three generations, and they were very resolute. They were neither officials nor ministers, but only taught and educated people.It is very famous in Xuzhou City and even Luzhou City.

Chen Taishou had many tricks and strategized in many ways, and completely destroyed the Jin family.Because of his young age, Jin Yun was taken out of the mansion overnight by his grandfather, and went to live in the temple. Within two days, he heard the news that the extremely beautiful wife of the Jin family had hanged herself.

Jin Yun's life is really bitter, but there is always a hint of sweetness in the bitterness.

Wen Le opened the door with the letter and entered. Jin Yun was painting, and quickly walked over, saluted Wen Le, and said: "Young General, last time I thank you for trying to keep Grandpa's body from being destroyed. The boy has not yet thanked you."

Jin Yun is only ten years old and looks very thin.Wen Le helped him up and said, "Can you approve the paper?"

It was the first time that Jin Yun knew about the big and small things in Xuzhou City.Literati always like to say some big truths, and the real things are hidden in those words. Wen Le has a headache watching it. With Jin Yun's help, it is finally twice the result with half the effort.

After finishing the last page, Wen Le leaned back on the chair and shouted: "Sizhu, send this letter. Also, ask someone to distribute food."

Jin Yun is young, but he doesn't like to eat meat and fish. All the dishes on the table are only sandwiched with the lily and cashew nuts.

The lily has been soaked in honey for a long time, and it has a sweet taste, and the cashew nuts are fried crispy, fragrant every bite.

Wen Le saw him eating in small bites without speaking, smiled softly, asked Sizhu to add some vegetarian dishes, and said to Jin Yun: "You are very similar to a person."

"Is he alone like me?" After Jin Yun finished speaking, he realized that he had no brains, so he quickly apologized, and said, "The boy speaks nonsense, please don't blame the general."

Wen Le laughed, stretched out his hand to pinch Jin Yun's face, and said, "You little adult looks exactly like him."

Jin Yun didn't dare to say any more, for fear of offending Wen Le, the two finished their meal quietly.

When Si Zhu called people to take down the meal, Wen Le looked at Jin Yun and said, "What are your plans once the plague is over?"

Jin Yun pursed his lips, thought for a while, and said, "Study, prepare for spring."

"Little nerd." Wen Le said angrily, "Are you willing to go back to Jinlin with me?"

Jin Yun widened his eyes and said, "Jin Lin?"

Wen Le nodded, poured a cup of tea to rinse his mouth, kept a mouthful of tea fragrance, and said: "I am married to Lord Jijiu, and I will have no children under my knees. I am destined to be with you. If you want, you can recognize me as a Yifu, I will take you back to Jinlin."

Jin Yun's eyes became hot. Ever since his grandfather died, he has been rootless like duckweed on water. He doesn't know what he is doing, nor where he will go in the future.

Rudely wiping away the tears on his face, Jin Yun lifted the hem of his clothes, kowtowed three times to Wen Le, and shouted: "Father-in-law is here, please pay respects to my son."

Wen Le accepted it peacefully, helped him to sit up, took out a string of coral strings worn by children from his pocket, and put them on for him, seeing his red-eyed face, said softly: "He will like you too. "

Fu Xiaoyu: Wait, you recognized me a grandson and a son?
