Chengdu Mansion, Xiangwang Mansion.

Due to the outbreak of the White Lotus Sect in a county in Sichuan, the road was blocked, and Mu Ningxue did not succeed. One after another, I heard that there was a Maitreya sect in Hanzhong, and for a time, there were rebellions in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places.

The king of Shu led his troops to quell the rebellion, although the northwest land was full of beacons, the imperial court reacted quickly, and most of the prefectures and counties quickly quelled the rebellion, causing little harm and impact.

So far, the imperial court is very happy, the reason why the White Lotus missionary activities are extremely rampant this year is because of the locust plague, which has given the missionaries an opportunity to take advantage of, and such rebellions will emerge in an endless stream in the year of great disasters and famines.

This year, due to the timely discovery, the local government deliberately released the news of arrest, which frightened the congregants in various places and had no choice but to uncover it. Otherwise, God knows how much harm will be caused when the White Lotus Sect bandits, who are ready for everything, will bewitch many people who have no food to eat, and meet at the same time to start an incident?

Mrs. Mu frowned and walked over and said, "The princess has been confined in the palace for her son Daoqian, but the poor one is imprisoned in the palace. Xu Hao's kid is really, he shot too fast and ruthlessly, fortunately, the king of Shu was not at home, and the princess finally saw her son, otherwise the child would have to be scared crazy. ”

Mu Ningxue closed the book, her heart was sweet, and she said with a wry smile on her face: "He is used to being careful in everything, and I don't dare to be careless at all." As soon as he got the news, he immediately asked for a decree to leave the capital. If it hadn't been for the fact that he had encountered something serious on the way, everyone would have been sitting here at this time, and maybe Zhu Yueyi would have suffered a greater loss. ”

Mrs. Mu said funny: "What can this be?" Just so worried? He was lucky that he didn't arrive, otherwise if he injured the prince, how could the court give up? ”

"As soon as he met the person he cared about, he completely changed, what can't he do? No more cautiousness. After this incident, I will never dare to go out to play by myself in the future anyway, so I don't have to cause trouble for him. ”

Mu Ningxue finished speaking with a wry smile, recalling the bits and pieces of getting along with Xu Hao. "Somehow, he seems to be wary of many things, and wary of any stranger. He always said that there is nothing wrong with being careful, and his daughter thinks it is very right, take Zhu Yuexi as an example, if it weren't for the fact that there are 300 families around us to protect him, what if he was faint for a while? ”

Mrs. Mu agreed: "It's really not accurate, I don't know the face but I don't know the heart, a young man with such an identity, once he has a lust heart, what evil thing can't he do?" Even if it is cut by a thousand knives afterwards. But the life of the daughter's family was also ruined alive. ”

I don't know this moment, Mu Ningxue misses him thousands of miles away, even if he has such and such shortcomings and deficiencies, but who can compare to his cherishment and protection of himself? Warm and sweet, I couldn't wait to fly over to meet him immediately, and couldn't help murmuring, "What are you doing?" Are you reading a book? And Mrs. Mu silently watched her daughter's subconscious corners of her mouth curl up, shook her head and stopped.

In Huizhou Mansion, in a slightly dimly lit room, Xu Hao looked at the newspaper in his hand. The shouting and killing outside gradually calmed down, and it took less than half an hour before and after.

The door was pushed open, and Mu Hui strode in, and said with palpitations: "The White Lotus Sect bandits resist to the death. Most of the men would rather die than surrender, and the brothers were red-eyed, and even kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy were hacked to death with knives, but twenty or thirty women were captured. Thankfully, our people are smart. Overheard the thief's conversation, otherwise he would suffer a big loss tonight. ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "I didn't expect to live in a thief's den, but I didn't know that Lao Tzu's subordinates were the most elite brothers among the more than two hundred brocade guards. Just a few dozen people dared to rebel, and they deserved to be unlucky. By the way, what is the situation in Huizhou Mansion? ”

Mu Hui said: "The praying mantis was just blocking the car, and less than 200 people tried to attack the city gate in vain, and were shot into hedgehogs by the archers on the city wall. ”

Xu Hao frowned and said: "Fortunately, it was discovered early, the locust plague in the northwest has just been bad this year, and the people still have food to eat at home, if the weather is not beautiful in the coming year, and the disaster suffers for several consecutive years, then it will not be the scale of one or two hundred people." ”

Mu Hui sighed: "People who don't have food to eat can't care about anything, and they will become even more terrible than evil ghosts." Last year, Qingzhou Mansion was full of people eating people, I was ordered to go to check, there are really all kinds of evil things, I witnessed a woman fall in front of the county government, and in a blink of an eye was eaten by the hungry people; The student was sent to a private school by his father, who knew that no one came home at night, broke into the stove room of Mr. to take a look, and actually cooked for Shengsheng, the gentleman and his wife said that your child is white and fat, who will eat if he doesn't eat? Not to mention the cannibalism of Yi Zi, it abounds, so that I don't dare to eat meat for a whole year. ”

How can Xu Hao not know about Qingzhou? It's just that when he went to Shandong, the most difficult period had passed, and the people of Qingzhou Mansion went to sixty percent because of this. Even if the imperial court provides disaster relief for three or five days at night, the victims will become walking corpses in the blink of an eye in order to survive.

Xu Hao became more and more determined to obtain food crops from the Americas, and for this reason, he must also stand on the side of Zhu Di, the king of Yan. Zhu Yunwen is by no means an emperor with such courage, especially the so-called virtuous and respected civil servants around him, who are the most stubborn in their old age, and anyone who changes the policy of banning the sea formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang will be regarded as a great rebellion and attack him in groups, the reason is that he is not from a formal literati background, and his delusional attempt to persuade the bigwigs in the DPRK and China is tantamount to a fool's dream.

As the saying goes, if Zhu Di hadn't ascended the throne as emperor by himself through the Battle of Jingjing, would he have the ambition to change the national policy formulated by his father and go to the West seven times? And if he didn't reach the top of the high position by following Zhu Di and making meritorious achievements, according to the current civil and official system, step by step, I am afraid that my life's energy would have to be spent on the never-ending monopoly of reluctance, and nine times out of ten I would lose my official position and resign, how could I play with my heart and eyes to play with that class of civil servants?

Even if Zhu Yunwen can be affected, it seems that it is too late now, and there is no turning back when he opens the bow, and he will not come down when he gets on the big ship of Yan Wangfu.

At this time, Mu Hui noticed that Xu Hao was distracted again, and reminded: "What should I do with those prisoners?" Most of them are young and beautiful girls, and two of them are particularly good-looking, which can be called stunning, and the brothers say that they will leave it to you for use, and the other women they want to be happy tonight. ”

"Why are you stunning everywhere, have you ever seen a beautiful woman?" Xu Hao looked up at Mu Hui and asked again, "What do you mean?" ”

Mu Hui said nonchalantly: "These women will be sent to the capital to be interrogated by the Criminal Department, if they are lucky enough not to die." will be sent to the church as a slave. Instead of cheapening others, it is better to have fun for the brothers tonight. ”

Xu Hao got up and strode out, Mu Hui hurriedly followed, and gradually heard the woman's crying and scolding, and from time to time the man's laughter came out.

In a courtyard, surrounded by brocade guards with torches, a group of disheveled women were surrounded by a group of women.

Under the light of the torches, Mu Hui pointed to two of the beautiful women who were tied up by five flowers, and said, "They are very skilled, and they injured a few people when they resisted. Originally, Jihua deliberately approached you, or hijacked or assassinated, saying that it was the daughter of the master's family, I don't think it's that simple. ”

The women all glared at Xu Hao angrily, Xu Hao looked at the beautiful woman opposite, probably especially in the dark, she looked very good, she was indeed very beautiful, and said, "What are the identities of the two of you?" The Holy Maiden or Holy Aunt of the White Lotus Sect? ”

"Phew!" The gorgeous-looking woman spat at Xu Hao, but saw that Xu Hao was dodging her. Turning his head away in disdain.

However, another beautiful woman looked sad and said, "Our sisters are not from the White Lotus Sect, they have been orphans since they were children, and they were adopted by their masters to teach martial arts. After the master died of illness, we walked the rivers and lakes to make a living by selling arts, and one year was favored by the young master of the official family, and he had to force us to buy us as slaves and maids, and my senior sister was angry and cut him with a sword. Desperate to be taken in and protected by the master here, tonight is to repay the favor before I reluctantly agreed to assassinate you, who knows that you have already taken precautions. ”

Mu Hui was surprised when she heard this: "Is this serious? Then you won't be rebellious. ”

The beautiful woman said quietly: "The prisoner under the stairs." How dare a slave lie? ”

Mu Hui nodded and said: "That's right, it fell into the hands of my Jinyi Wei, if you want to lie, even if you try, forgive you and other women who don't dare to believe it." ”

Suddenly, a Li Zongqi smiled and said: "In this case, you might as well wait for you to make a vow to change your mind from now on, and wait for me." The two of you followed the two adults to ensure the glory and wealth of your life. ”

Mu Hui scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, they are all Qin criminals, who dares to excuse them?" ”

Li Zongqi grinned and said disapprerovingly: "It's just a group of girls, and it's reported by Lord Xu that they are all wives and daughters. It's a big deal to send it to the Criminal Department to say hello, suffer less flesh and skin, and when it is sent to the Jiao Si Fang, then ask for people to come out, do you think that the Jiao Si Fang still dares to refuse? ”

Seeing this, the men around them began to talk about it, and they all wanted to take these women for themselves, while the women had complicated expressions, and some of them seemed to have been shaken, after all, everyone wanted to live.

The gorgeous woman thought for a moment and asked coldly, "If my sister and I promise to be a maid for this adult and swear that we will never have two hearts, can you let the sisters go?" Even if you want to take them in, you have to be willing to do so. ”

Li Zongqi shouted: "The girl is happy to say this, so that's it." ”

"That's good." The gorgeous woman said resolutely to Xu Hao, who was frowning: "My sister and I are both virgins, and we can be tied up to serve the adults to sleep tonight, so it can prove my sister's sincerity, right?" ”

Mu Hui thought of her sister and said embarrassedly: "What is this?" Alas! Li Zongqi said with envy: "Lord Xu, people are virgins, and their subordinates think that they can rest assured that their sisters will follow you from now on." ”

Xu Hao never spoke, and suddenly asked at this moment: "Do they all have martial arts?" ”

Mu Hui said: "Yes, they will have some three moves and two styles, and ordinary people are definitely not their opponents." ”

Li Zongqi smiled: "That's better, adults take the two of them with them wherever they go, how good is it to have two more beautiful concubines who can protect you?" ”

"Then I'm sorry." I didn't want Xu Hao to turn around, waved his hand, and said, "Listen to my orders and send these women on the road." ”

Mu Hui was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said, "You are crazy, you actually ordered to kill a woman?" ”

Xu Hao frowned and scolded: "You dare to disobey? Go away, don't look like a wreck when you see a woman. ”

Mu Hui said angrily: "They are all poor people, and you are ruthless to kill them all?" ”

Xu Hao patted Mu Hui on the shoulder speechlessly, turned around and took out his embroidered spring knife, and threw it in front of the women.

Xu Hao looked at the incomprehensible gazes cast by the brothers around him, and said to the women: "You wait to be protected by the White Lotus Sect first, and then follow the White Lotus Sect bandits with the intention of killing officials and rebelling, and it is a capital crime!" Maybe if you survive tonight, you will have to be insulted by men continuously, and after being sent to the prison of the Criminal Department in the capital, you will encounter endless torture, even if you are lucky enough to save your life, you will have to be a slave and a prostitute for generations. And this official told the truth, you and others are martial arts and women, and most of them are beautiful women with good looks, so you must not be allowed to let people who are involved in the White Lotus Sect mix into the official's house in the future, in short, they will definitely die, and this official will not leave any trouble.

I'll give you a chance tonight, you can hang yourself, and you can keep your innocence. If anyone doesn't believe what this official says, he can go into the room with my brothers and be happy, but the ugly words are ahead, here are more than 200 men, and the ones who are waiting for you may be even more miserable if they die. ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Hao said loudly to his subordinates: "Everyone has a wife, sons, and daughters, think about it carefully, don't embarrass Lao Tzu." It's easy for you to want a woman, ten taels of silver per person, and go to the county seat to solve it yourself. ”

After saying that, Xu Hao strode away, and the brocade guards present looked at each other one after another, a little dumbfounded for a while, and at the same time looked at Xu Hao with a little more awe in their eyes.

The boss who can be unwavering in front of the beauty and fulfill these women in such a seemingly ruthless way is obviously not really ruthless, and dare to make them choose to commit suicide and bear the possible questioning of the court with all their might, this is the real husband.

PS: Every time I complain about the pain and set the bowl, everyone will immediately encourage Xiaochai with actions, and I am grateful, I don't know if everyone is satisfied with Xu Hao's performance today? (To be continued......)
