Chapter 220: Worshipping the Mountain (Asking for Votes)
The sun is rising, and the snow from last night has melted away without a trace, but the cold wind is still bitter. It wasn't until the third pole of the day that Wu Linguang, the commander of Leadshan County, staggered out of bed and ate breakfast at the service of the concubine.
It is said that last night it was dark, and the rebels under King Ning suddenly came to attack the city, which really scared Wu Zhixian into restlessness, and later heard that the thieves retreated, so he hugged the concubine and slept with peace of mind, and couldn't help but move a few times on the concubine's belly before going to bed, so he didn't wake up until now.
After Wu Linguang finished breakfast, he did not go to the front county office to work, but stayed in the backyard to kill time, after all, he threw the pot to the county Cheng Meng Xuan under the pretext of low back pain last night, and at this time, he naturally had to do a full set of plays, so he continued to pretend to have back pain, and he was happy!
Just as Wu Linguang was looking at the idle book pleasantly, Li Ming, the head catcher of the Yamen, hurriedly came.
"Li Bantou, what's the matter?" Wu Linguang put down the book and asked calmly, Li Ming is his confidant, so there is no need to pretend in front of him.
Li Ming's face flushed a little, and he said with a little excitement: "My lord, the thief soldiers who attacked the city last night were wiped out!" ”
Wu Linguang was slightly startled, and said quite unexpectedly: "Xiong Qianhu is powerful, he wiped out the rebels in one night?" Is the message exact? ”
Li Ming pursed his lips and said: "It was the new general judge Xu Jin who led the troops to exterminate the rebels, and the main force of the battle was Shangrao Qianhu, and the lead mountain Qianhu was only an auxiliary." Hey, it would be nice if you relied on those land planters in the Thousand Households of Lead Mountain, and weren't beaten by the rebels. ”
Li Ming, as the head catcher of the government office of Leadshan County, still has some understanding of the situation of the Qianhu Office in Leadshan County, and those farming soldiers have not trained much on weekdays, and their combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of the government servants under him.
Wu Linguang was stunned, frowned, and said, "Li Bantou, what are you talking nonsense?" Where did the verdict come from? What is the matter with the closure of Rao Qianhu? ”
Li Ming patted his forehead and said, "I forgot to mention it to the county lord." The newly appointed Guangxin Mansion general judge is Xu Jin, a student of Shangrao County, who is even a junior and medium-sized Sanyuan......"
After listening to Li Ming's explanation, Wu Linguang suddenly realized, his expression was extremely complicated, the benefactor Governor Sun was killed, and before his death, he also appointed a fifteen-year-old Confucian scholar as the general judge of Guangxin Mansion to control the soldiers and horses of the counties.
Li Ming said again: "Lord County, Xu Tongju has sent a vanguard of five hundred people to take over the city defense, and ordered the county government to cooperate with all matters, Meng County Cheng is currently busy vacating the county government prison, preparing to detain the captured rebels, hehe, I heard that the rebels' main and deputy thousands of households have been captured alive."
Tsk, although this Xu Tongju is young, he does have a few brushes, I heard that he also personally went to the lead mountain Qianhu last night to transfer troops, and Luo Hong, the deputy Qianhu, used the excuse to make things difficult, and was almost blown up by Xu Tong's firecracker......"
Wu Linguang couldn't sit still when he heard this, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Hurry up and prepare, this official is going out of the city to go to Fei's house." ”
Li Ming was stunned and said, "Isn't the county lord a low back pain?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, go get ready!" Wu Linguang reprimanded with a dark face.
As the so-called wall grass falls with the wind, Wu Linguang is an out-and-out wall grass, and now that Xu Jin, the new general has killed more than a thousand rebels, he naturally wants to rush to worship the mountain, not to mention that Sun Sui is his benefactor, and now the body is in the Fei family, if he doesn't ask and don't hear it, his reputation is estimated to stink.
Wu Linguang hurriedly put on his official uniform, and rushed out of the city to Fei's house with a group of government servants.
……
Outside the Fei family's manor, the soldiers and horses of the two guards were camped on the east and west sides respectively.
After fighting for most of the night, all the sergeants were tired and hungry, and at the moment they were cooking on the fire, and the smell of rice and meat was in the air. As Xu Jin promised, Steward Zhou ordered someone to kill a few big fat pigs and send them to reward the soldiers.
Compared with the military camp that is in full swing and has a high atmosphere, the atmosphere in Fei's house is much bleaker.
In Fei's house, the smell of blood in the air has not yet dissipated, there are stains of blood everywhere, the servants are cleaning and cleaning up, and the heart-rending cries can be heard everywhere, making people cry.
This time, the Fei family's Zhuang Ding servants suffered heavy casualties, more than 40 people died in Zhuang Ding alone, and many maids were poisoned by the rebels, and all the injuries must be diluted and forgotten for a long time.
Xu Jin dragged his heavy steps into the courtyard, and it was still the small courtyard where he had lived in Fei Mansion for more than two months at the end of last year.
"Xianggong!" As soon as Xu Jin appeared at the door of the room, Xie Xiaowan greeted him happily.
Xu Jin opened his arms and hugged Xie Xiaowan tightly into his arms, burying his face deep in the tips of the little girl's hair. Just now, Xu Jin watched the servants of the Fei family collect several corpses of handmaidens who had been ruined by the rebels, it was unbearable, if this happened to the person in his arms, he estimated that he would go crazy, but fortunately, he rushed back in time.
Xie Xiaowan could obviously feel Xianggong's strong love at the moment, her heart was sweet, her pretty face was full of redness, she hugged Xu Jin emotionally, and murmured: "Xianggong!" ”
"Ahem......"
Two light coughs sounded, and Xu Jin found that his mother-in-law Jiang was sitting at the coffee table drinking tea, while his brother-in-law Xie Sangun was sipping melon seeds next to him, squeezing his eyebrows at him, he couldn't help sweating, and hurriedly let go of his hand and saluted: "Son-in-law to meet my mother-in-law." ”
Jiang Shi said with a smile: "No need to be polite, the virtuous son-in-law has been busy for a day and a night, hurry up and sit down and rest for a while." Yue'er, go and prepare hot water for your lord to bathe and clean. ”
Yue'er glanced enviously at Xie Xiaowan, who was flushed with happiness, and walked out with a sweet smile.
Jiang Shi and Xu Jin chatted casually, and then left the room with Xie Sangun, leaving the space for Xu Jin and his family.
"Xianggong, you can't ride a horse anymore from tomorrow!" After bathing and cleaning, Xie Xiaowan said distressed while applying medicine to the wound between Xu Jin's legs.
Xu Jin's thighs on both sides were already bruised, and after riding his horse last night, he was even more miserable at the moment, the strip of cloth used to bandage was stained with blood, and Xie Xiaowan's tears were about to fall out, and Yahuan Yue'er next to her was also red.
Xu Jin said dotingly: "Okay, Xianggong will never ride a horse again, take a carriage, or take a sedan chair!" ”
Xie Xiaowan turned her anger into joy at this time, and while including Xu Jin, she said softly: "Xianggong, Sister Ruyi's neck is cut, you have to go to see her." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but be surprised, he had been busy in front since he came back with the troops last night, dealing with various matters, and he had just come back to meet Xie Xiaowan, so he didn't know about Fei Ruyi's injury at all, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Ruyi, is she seriously injured?" ”
Yue'er said: "Miss Ruyi was cut by her own dagger, but she just broke off her skin, and it was no big deal!" ”
Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded and said, "I'll go and see her when I go back." ”
Yue'er glanced at Xu Jin with a strange expression, the Zhao family was unscrupulous in front of the Fei family's relatives last night, so now the entire Fei Mansion should know that Fei San has a "private relationship" with her master.
Yue'er, as a girl who accompanies the family, although she is a little jealous, but she is born in the palace and doesn't think there is anything wrong, it is not normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. It's just that Yue'er is very curious about how Fei San will marry in the future, after all, the Fei family is a big family, and Fei Ge Lao will definitely not easily agree to Fei San as a concubine.
Of course, Yue'er is not worried that Miss Fei San will endanger the status of her wife, not to mention that Mrs. now has the identity of the princess's daughter, even if she doesn't, just with the master's deep feelings for Mrs., the position of Mrs.'s main room will definitely be untouchable.
Xu Jin didn't know what his beautiful maid's brain was pondering, and after bandaging the wound and filling his stomach, he fell asleep.
It is said that since the night of the eighteenth day of the first month, Sun Sui was on his deathbed, Xu Jin has not slept yet, and it is now noon on the twentieth day of the first month.
So Xu Jin fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down, and he didn't wake up until dark, and Wu County, who hurriedly came to Fei's house to worship the mountain, naturally didn't even see Xu Jin's face, fortunately, Fei Ge Lao was still saving face this time, and met him in the front hall, and the two sides discussed the matter of entering the city tomorrow.
