There is an east-west street outside the Dong'anmen Gate of the Imperial City called Dong'anmen Street, because it is more prosperous near the Imperial City, and the east end of the street is the Shiwangfu Street in the north-south direction.

The street is named after the house, the Ten Princes' Mansion is the residence built by the Ming royal family for the adult prince to leave the imperial city to go to the fiefdom during this transitional period, and then because the royal few heirs are becoming more and more conscious, although the land is not biased, it is very desolate, and it is mostly a gathering place for refugees, chickens, dogs, and thieves.

It was noon, the inn was overcrowded, Chang Yu and his entourage walked all the way east along Dong'anmen Street, and saw several taverns full of guests, many of which were soldiers, he didn't like many people and continued to search.

Finally, I saw a tavern at the intersection of Shiwangfu Street, with only a few guests, so I came to the door.

The guys in the store saw four or five customers, and hurriedly greeted: "What are the military masters eating, although the store is small, the chef's skills are good, and the wine is good."

It turned out that when he saw Ji Jike's relatives carrying knives, he thought he was a soldier.

"Don't want wine, just fry a few meat dishes and put a pot of tea" Chang Yu and a few people found an empty table at the door and sat down, and said to the second child in the running hall.

"It's unusual for soldiers not to drink," a few people at the table next to him looked sideways when they heard this, and one of the middle-aged men said with a smile.

Chang Yu smiled back: "It's expensive, I can't afford to drink."

"I heard that you can get a lot of silver for fighting, but do you care about that bit of silver?" The middle-aged man chuckled, his expression full of mockery.

"Of course, you have to save the money you get in exchange for your life" Chang Yu smiled faintly, and the middle-aged man looked a little embarrassed and stopped talking.

"Master Jun, then, meat dishes are not cheap, there is no beef, but there are some fish and bacon, and it costs less to buy a table than three taels of silver." The shopkeeper listened to the conversation between Chang Yu and the table next to him, and couldn't help but remind.

"It's really not cheap" Chang Yu sighed slightly: "But the brother Tai also said just now, we are not bad for silver" said and took out a few pieces of broken silver and put them on the table: "Just set up a table at this price."

"Okay," the shopkeeper went to the back kitchen with his throat pulled.

The people at the table next to him looked at it, and some people couldn't help it: "I don't like the expensive wine and food, it's not you soldiers who eat and drink expensive."

"You ......" Hearing his words, a guard couldn't help it, and was stopped by Chang Yu with his eyes, and then smiled at the table: "Whoever pays for this wine and food can eat it, and the more people who eat it, it will naturally be expensive, since you can eat it, why can't we eat it when we are soldiers, but we blame it because we are expensive, I also said that this wine and food are expensive for you, but when we defended the city and fought, I didn't see anyone blame us for shedding too much blood and killing too many people."

"Hey, how do you talk" A big man at the next table slapped the table and was about to roar, but he was pulled by the middle-aged man next to him, looked at Chang Yu and frowned: "This little brother is not a soldier, right?"

Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How can you see that who is not a soldier in this city dares to bring a knife to the street."

The middle-aged man arched his hand: "Whether it is or not, the momentum of the little brother is not an ordinary person, we are just ordinary people who can't afford to provoke it, just drink a little wine and nag at will, don't take it to heart."

acquaintance, Chang Yu also arched his hand in return and stopped talking to him.

The food in the store is very fast, unexpectedly the craftsmanship is really good, Chang Yu eats with relish, and a few guards regret that there is no wine, but no one dares to ask for wine.

After all, it's on duty.

During the meal, Chang Yu told a few people that they would go out of the city to the northern military camp in a while, and Chen Wangting proposed to transfer personal guards or a battalion under his command to accompany him.

Chang Yu didn't think so, there was a big search in the city today, and the thief frightened the bird that was either hidden in the depths or had escaped from the city, and what he was going to was the military camp in the north of the city, where there were tens of thousands of troops, what assassin dared to assassinate so boldly.

Everyone thinks about it, but for the sake of safety, let the carriage with obvious targets go back to the yamen to change a few treasure horses.

The meal is fast, and a few people eat fast, so that the next table is dumbfounded, and the heart is not gone, I thought that the son of a wealthy family came out to experience life and taste it in this kind of small restaurant, but you can see the food...... It should be the head soldier of the army.

While eating, he waited for the people from the yamen to send the mounts, and suddenly heard the noise outside the store mixed with shouting and scolding, and the attention of everyone in the store was quickly attracted to it, and someone at the next table looked at it, and then smiled: "There was a fight outside, a few splashes and a girl were fighting."

As soon as they heard the excitement, everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks and squeezed towards the door, Chen Wangting couldn't help but get up and take a look when he sat on the side, and suddenly turned back to Chang Yu and said, "It's the red lady!" ”

Chang Yu was stunned, then dropped his chopsticks, got up and squeezed out of the door to look over there, and saw that under a big willow tree not far away, several people were fighting, one of whom was actually Li Yan's wife, the famous female general Red Lady in the former thief army.

At this time, he was fighting with a few splashes.

The Red Lady was born in the army, and her martial arts skills are extraordinary, but after all, she is a woman, in the face of a few young and strong people and indecent shots, which makes her a little embarrassed.

Chang Yu was angry, and immediately flew over.

"You girl is hot, but you just touched you to be so hot" In the fight, there was a shameless lewd laugh, and before he finished speaking, he was swept on the head with a kick, and he fainted to death on the ground with a sound.

"Fight to the death!" Chang Yu grabbed another person while he spoke, and smashed several punches in the face, and the person suddenly fainted with blood, and Chen Wangting and others behind him had already pounced on them to catch those splashes is punches and kicks.

Chang Yu casually threw away the splash skin in his hand, and then he arched his hand to the panting and angry red lady: "Let my sister-in-law be frightened, wait for me to be angry for you."

"Adult......" When the red lady was entangled and embarrassed, she only hated that there was no weapon in her hand, otherwise she would be cut down, and when she was in a hurry, she suddenly saw someone helping her fist, and she wanted to thank her, but she found that it was Chang Yu, and she was pleasantly surprised.

"Why are you here?"

coincided with the meeting, Chang Yu saw that the onlookers here were mixed, so he dragged the red lady out of the crowd, and several people from Chen Wangting over there had already taken control of the scene, and the little eunuch ordered to be beaten to death, they really ...... All of them were knocked unconscious and died.

Shiwangfu Street, in a remote place, Chang Yu stopped: "Why is my sister-in-law here, and how did you provoke these splashes?" ”

The red lady sighed and said slowly.

Since the surrender to the Ming court, the red lady has retreated to the second line, and the female soldiers under her command have gradually put down their weapons to save the wounded, and obeyed Chang Yu's arrangement to create the first military hospital in the Ming Dynasty, which was located in the Jinwuwei Yamen.

When the Tartars went south, Chang Yu was ordered to pursue the soldiers, and if they were injured, they were immediately transferred to the rear of Beijing and handed over to the Red Lady Yamen to be responsible for treatment and maintenance, it can be said that during this time, in addition to Emperor Chongzhen and Chang Yu, she was the busiest in the capital.

was so busy that Li Yan's class returned to Beijing, and she didn't have time to see it.

Of course, there is another reason why husband and wife can't see each other, that is, Li Yan is now a foreign army general and has no mansion in the capital, although he was ordered to enter Beijing, but his identity is sensitive and he has just surrendered to Cheng, and in order to avoid all kinds of suspicions, he lives in the courtyard arranged by Chang Yu every day and never goes out at will.

And the red lady is also very busy, so much so that Li Yan has been back in Beijing for a few days, and the two have not seen each other.

The red lady is a sassy and heroic female general on the battlefield, caring for the people and caring for her subordinates, her reputation has always been very good, and the Jinwuwei Yamen where she is stationed is near the Ten Princes' Mansion, where a large number of refugees gather here, the red lady is kind and charitable, often brings some food to visit orphans and widows, or help refugees to see a disease or something, but she doesn't want to meet a few pimply teasing today, with her temperament is naturally going to fight.

Poor people must have something to hate, Chang Yu glanced at the incident in the distance, the hateful red lady did so many good things to them, but she didn't even say a word when the accident happened.

From ancient times to the present, the sentiment of hatred of the rich has always existed, and in the eyes of the poor, the rich have no good things, and they are not kind to the rich.

But is that really the case?

The contribution of the rich to the society is much greater than that of the poor, in peacetime to repair bridges and roads, natural disasters and man-made disasters to donate money and disaster relief have always been rich people to contribute money and efforts, and at this time what are the poor doing, they will only magnify some of the shortcomings of the rich, bullying others, etc., in fact, these shortcomings are more on him, stealing chickens and dogs and pulling garlic seedlings is not less.

There is a saying that the poor have a good conscience.

The poorer a person is, the more vicious his heart becomes. complaining about the world and complaining about the society, otherwise there would not be that sentence about the poor mountains and bad waters.

"In the future, this kind of kindness will not be rewarded, so don't do it." Chang Yu snorted, and the red lady shook her head with a wry smile, "But I have a clear conscience, I know that what the adults said is angry, you have never stopped doing good deeds, and I heard today that you are going to raise money to build an orphanage."

"Hey, how did you find out about this so quickly?" Chang Yu was surprised.

"Did you talk about this in the yamen last night, Luo Yu said it when he came to me this morning," the red lady smiled slightly. Chang Yu scratched his head: "Okay, this matter was originally intended to be handed over to you to do, but I haven't had time to tell you yet, so I will turn around and allocate the money to you, and I will ask you to prepare for it."

"The humble duty must do your best to live up to the trust, but there is still one thing to ask the lord," the red lady plucked up her courage and said.

"But when I want to see General Li, he is outside the front door, and my sister-in-law can go over at any time." Chang Yu said.

"No, no, no" The red lady hurriedly shook her head: "The lowly position is to ask the lord, can you place a yamen of your own for the military hospital, at the moment it is borrowed from Jin Wuwei, a few days ago they went out to fight The yamen is empty, but now the class teacher is too crowded to return to the Yamen, and most of the lowly subordinates are female soldiers...... It's very inconvenient."

It turned out to be this matter, Chang Yu sighed slightly: "That's it, I still have something to do, when my sister-in-law goes to the yamen to find me in the evening, and we have a small gathering with General Li, how about talking about this matter again?" ”

The red lady was overjoyed and thanked her again and again.
