Daoxiangju, Brother Xu Lu looked at the maids busy sorting out their clothes and so on, and he was speechless with the joy of going out.

"What's so good about Liaodong? It's cold and cold, and it's hard to get off the beaten track, and it's taken too long on the road. Brother Xu Lu walked to Mu Ningxue's side and continued to agitate: "If you don't go to Fujian and Guangdong, Luzhu will definitely die of happiness, and it is also enjoyable to swim in the sea water on a hot day, and it is time to come back when the red leaves come." ”

Mu Ningxue said: "It's Hao'er who wants to go to Liaodong to have a look, and the summer in Liaodong is as hot as the scenery. ”

"But I have to take a sea boat, I can't stand it for a day, and I don't have much to do when I go, there are barren mountains and mountains everywhere, and there are no places of interest." Brother Green then said: "The south side is different, and there are many lively and interesting people. Besides, he must also go to the south to visit his sister, so we might as well go to Fujian first and wait for him to come. ”

"Yes!" Mu Ningxue knew that her husband Liaodong and his party were completely for serious business, and it was inconvenient to bring a large group of female dependents. If you go to the south, stay for a few days and then go to Yunnan to visit the second brother and sister-in-law, it can be said that you can count it in one fell swoop.

Brother Xu Lu saw that his sister-in-law was a little moved, and said to Xu Cuiyun, who had been silent: "Third sister, you can speak, don't be like a gourd." ”

Mu Ningxue asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Could it be that he is sick? ”

"Nothing." Xu Cuiyun suppressed the discomfort in her heart, "I'm just tired of the holiday, I'll go back first." ”

After saying that, she walked away, and Brother Xu Lu whispered: "I heard that the third sister has nightmares all day long, how can she do this if she doesn't do bad things?" How could a good person throw himself into a well? ”

Mu Ningxue sighed lightly, speaking of Cuiyun's temperament, she was the most kind and timid, but in the past few years in the palace, she didn't know what stimulation she had received, and her whole person had changed. I heard that she often beat and scolded her husband at home and persecuted the concubine, and she used foul language, which made people completely unbelievable, is this still Xu Cuiyun who was bullied and didn't care about it back then.

It's that when Brother Green was a child, he was one person in front of him and one thing in the back. The husband didn't like her cruelty in beating and scolding the girl at every turn, so much so that he ignored this sister for a long time. But Brother Green is born with an intolerable character, and after marrying, he is just as bitter and mean, even if he is hated by his brother, he is still the same.

But after getting along for a long time, I can realize that she has no harmful intentions, and if she doesn't like it, she will be scolded directly, and no one can be a sage, so her husband gradually felt a little guilty about her, as if he went out this time and personally offered to take Green Brother with him.

At this time. Yuelan came in and said, "Grandma Sang has come to resign." ”

Brother Xu Lu sneered: "The little husband lost his life, the eldest husband went overseas, it seems that he can't live a day without a man, so he just opened a kiln by himself and became a bride every night." ”

"No nonsense." Mu Ningxue scolded lightly, Brother Green disdainfully stopped talking, and said to Yuelan: "You don't have to come in and kowtow, I have prepared fifty taels of silver, which can be regarded as a little heart." ”

Brother Xu Lu pouted and said, "It's also a loss to have my third brother." Otherwise, sister-in-law, you are a bodhisattva who is a rotten good person, and you have to curse you behind your back if you help others. ”

Mu Ningxue smiled bitterly: "Why don't I know? But you have to put yourself in my shoes, if I don't rub sand in my eyes anymore, my family won't have to live. ”

"That's just as well. It is enough for Bao Gong, who pretends to be blackfaced, to have a sister-in-law and a third brother. ”

After Xu Luge finished speaking, he pointed outside, and saw Xiuchun holding a package containing silver clothes to hand it to Grandma Sang, but Grandma Sang pushed her away viciously and left with a scolding.

Brother Green sneered, "If it's me." directly scolded her body and kicked her out, and then publicized her ugly things to everyone, so that she could not gain a foothold in the capital. Hum. Giving a shameless thing to her face, it was obviously her attempt to harm her goddaughter, but now Xiuchun owes her. ”

Mu Ningxue couldn't help but feel envious, sometimes she can say it if she wants to, and how good it would be to scold if she wants to? It's no wonder that my husband always says that he is too tired, and he is holding everything for fear of being picked out for a little fault.

Here Xu Cuiyun returned home, and as soon as she sat down, she stood up suspiciously, as if Sister Fan was sneering at her.

Xu Cuiyun calmed down and asked, "Did the aunt come?" ”

"It's coming, it's coming."

Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Ma Sangu, the presiding officer of the Lianhua Nunnery near the Huanggu Temple, hurriedly walked in and saluted with his hands folded.

"Sin, sin, sin. The one who shaved his head and called the shaved head took my ears from me, and I didn't want my grandmother to call me. Because he was deaf in both ears, he hurried over when he was done. ”

Xu Cuiyun instructed the girl to look at the tea, invited Ma Sangu to sit down, and said, "I want to ask you about the sins you said last month, but I always don't understand." ”

Ma Sangu said: "The Buddhist scriptures say, 'There is no difference between yin and yang. 'In the yang world, there are three divisions, two courts, prefectures, and counties, and in the underworld, there are Hades, little ghosts, bulls, heads, and horses; In the yang world, if you violate the royal law and are accused, there is an official trial, and the same is true in the underworld, and the gods cannot be deceived, and no crime can escape. ”

Xu Cuiyun said: "I haven't harmed anyone, but you also know that the one who died more or less because of me and committed such a crime, what can I do to save him?" ”

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to say." Ma Sangu explained: "You have to have the magical powers of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the treasure scripture of the Medicine King Buddha to be saved in front of the king of Hades. However, I have to repent under the Bodhisattva's seat, sincerely vow to change my past mistakes, change my sins, and never repeat them in the future, even if it is the merit of repenting sins and eliminating disasters. ”

Xu Cuiyun nodded and said, "Although I scolded my mother-in-law a few times, but my mother-in-law was gone that day, and I also wore white sideburns and filial piety clothes for her." Men don't learn well outside, but they are just disciplining and disciplining, and I don't think I've done anything wrong. Only the concubine was scolded and beaten a few times by me, and I can stop her if she wants to die? Anyway, you can help me get rid of my sin. ”

"Alas!" Ma Sangu said with a serious expression: "I don't dare to coax you in a false way, this criminal is not small." First of all, you have to fast and bathe, so that there are no evil thoughts in your heart, three days and three nights to recite the Bodhisattva Guanyin to save the suffering, recite a Buddha, kowtow; I also had to invite ten female monks to recite 10,000 volumes of the Medicine Buddha's treasure scriptures for seven days and nights. ”

Xu Cuiyun said: "Where is it better to set up an altar? ”

"It's at our house." Ma Sangu pointed outside, "In the front hall, or in the patio to set up a tent, it is also convenient to get up early and eat fast and tea, add incense and light candles." ”

Xu Cuiyun said: "It's inconvenient at home, isn't it true that I'm a wicked woman?" This matter can't be spread out, just in the Bodhisattva Hall of your Lianhua Nunnery, which will save trouble. “

Ma Sangu said: "Then you have to calculate the time." There are too many people who go to my Jiao house. I'll go back to the nunnery and ask, and I'll come back tomorrow to discuss the date, and ask the master to set the number of scriptures. ”

The housekeeper Tong's mother sent her sister-in-law away, came back and said, "Why bother in Lianhua Nunnery? The temple requires a lot of money, the family temple or the Huanggu Temple, which is not a serious Buddhist holy place? Jianjiao is not limited to how much sincerity is spiritual, and he didn't have to cheapen Maguzi in vain. ”

"Don't talk about it." Xu Cuiyun's face sank, "It's just a few more dollars, I don't want to alarm anyone." You don't care about it, I'll do it. ”

In the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, Lu Shu carefully tidied up his clothes, and said loudly: "Xiaguan Lu Shu was ordered to visit. ”

"Come in." Xu Hao's gentle voice came from the room.

Lu Shu perked up, gently pushed open the door and strode in, and gave a steady military salute.

Xu Hao pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "You are also a friend of my family, you are welcome, please take a seat." Wait for Lu Shu to sit down cautiously. said directly: "I may be away from Beijing for a while in the near future, and someone needs to keep an eye on those things at home, and I can trust you." Not only my family, but also my relatives and friends are watching closely. I don't want the Zhang family to happen again. ”

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Lu Qi got up and said loudly.

Xu Hao waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and said, "You and Xiao Wei are both decent people, and you know the nature of Jinyiwei better than me, so you must beware of people with ulterior motives." I'll give you a few places. When you go back, you can promote a few trustworthy subordinates with good character. ”

Lu Qi was overjoyed, and then said hesitantly: "Can Xia Guan recruit a friend to join the Jinyi Guard?" This person is also a good friend of Liu Zhi. That year, because of Mrs. Ru, who helped Liu Zhi, she was hated by Mrs. Liu, not only closed the pawnshop where she depended for her livelihood, but also did not allow Liu Zhi to help him, and warned relatives and friends not to interact with his family. ”

Xu Hao became interested, and asked clearly that it was Liu Zhi's Fa Xiao Wang Erzui, although Sister Fan was suspected of messing with other people's homes, but this person can do his best for his friends, which is really rare.

Wang Erzui is half a literati who doesn't know martial arts, and there will be no development in Jinyiwei, Xu Hao is simply a good person to the end, and said: "My friend Yu Peng is about to enter Beijing, and he wants to be the imperial envoy of the Zuo Tuo Du of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so let Wang Erzui be a secretary under him." ”

Lu Qi hurriedly thanked him, but the secretary was from the ninth grade, which was no less than a step to the sky for Wang Erzui, I think Liu Zhi still hasn't entered the stream, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a first-class tiger yamen, who bites whom.

In fact, Xu Hao is also pushing the boat along the river, and now the Metropolitan Procuratorate is more and more inclined to be controlled by Chen Ying, he has to put a few of his own people inside, but I don't know if Yu Peng, who has been being an official in other places, can sit firmly. If we don't wait for Sun Tao or Zhang Xin and others to end their three-year term, and throw another one in, we must not let the Metropolitan Procuratorate become a hall of words for a few.

At this moment, Lu Qi heard a tsunami-like shout from outside, as if the entire capital was trembling, and the thunderous words of everyone spoke.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Lu Qi hurriedly said: "Governor Qi, the original intention of the saint is to be barbarian and incivilized, when you repay your grievances with virtue, it is enough to kill the first evil, and the rest of the accomplices should be returned to their own country after a lesson." ”

Xu Hao shook his head and said: "You just said the opposite, the surrounding countries have been deeply influenced by Confucian culture since the Han and Tang dynasties, and they are no longer barbarians. If you don't kill them, how can you be worthy of the innocent people who died? Don't tell me about the great truth of the imperial court's education, I am a martial artist, and I only know that the blood debt of the Dao must be paid with blood. ”

Lu Qi saw that the governor was so resolute, and he didn't dare to raise any more objections, to be honest, he didn't feel very happy in his heart? I'm afraid that this matter will lead to future troubles.

In the Qianqing Palace, several ministers were asking Zhu Gaochi to give priority to state affairs, and to convince people with reason in dealing with the Wa State that sacrificed Haikou, and it was too cruel and bloody for a state of etiquette not to give the wrong people a chance to repent and pardon.

Zhu Gaochi hesitated about this, listening to the people's unanimous demand to kill, if he did not kill, the people would not be convinced, and if he killed, it would be too inappropriate, and he was worried that it would hurt the peace of heaven.

Xie Jin said: "Xu Dudu was too ruthless in dealing with the prisoners, but it was at the time of the battle, and the minister could understand it. But right now, in the capital, and when the whole world is celebrating, nearly a thousand people are executed in one go, which is really too appalling. ”

Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "Aiqing is right, someone came to deliver an edict to postpone the execution of the widows. ”

Several eunuchs who passed the edict came out in a hurry, and rode their horses straight to the area around the entrance of the vegetable market in the inner city, and there were people everywhere along the way, crowding the streets.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has been 40 years now, and for 40 years, the Japanese have harassed the entire coastal area every year, and there has been no detailed number of how many people have died because of the Japanese invaders.

Even in the most conservative terms, tens of thousands of people were probably killed and robbed, Jinling is located in the center of the south, close to the coast, who has not heard of how the brutal Japanese killed the Han people.

The reason why Emperor Taizu completely forbade the sea and established countless coastal guards and thousands of warships was not the main purpose to prevent the Japanese invaders?

Since ancient times, the Han people have paid attention to tooth for tooth and blood for blood, and the common people do not understand and do not want to understand the way the court weighs the overall situation. (To be continued......)
