Chapter 220
The sun was rising, and the snow from last night had disappeared without a trace, but the cold wind was still biting. It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Wu Linguang, the magistrate of Qianshan County, staggered out of bed, washed himself and had breakfast with his concubine.
It is said that last night, the rebels under King Ning suddenly came to attack the city, which really frightened Wuzhi County so much that he could not sleep or eat. Later, when he heard that the rebels had retreated, he peacefully hugged his concubine and went to sleep. Before going to bed, he could not help but hug his concubine.
I moved my belly a few times, so I didn’t wake up until now.
After finishing breakfast, Wu Linguang did not go to the county office in front of him, but stayed in the backyard to kill time. After all, he blamed the county magistrate Mengxuan last night on the excuse of back pain. Naturally, he had to do a full set at this time, so he continued to pretend to have back pain.
Have fun and relax!
Just as Wu Linguang was reading Xianshu contentedly, Li Ming, the head of the Yamen, hurried over.
"Boss Li, what's the matter?" Wu Linguang put down his book and asked calmly. Li Ming was his confidant, so there was no need to pretend in front of him.
Li Ming's face was a little flushed, and he said slightly excitedly: "Sir, the band of thieves who attacked the city last night were wiped out!"
Wu Linguang was slightly shocked and said unexpectedly: "Xiong Qianhu is so powerful. He wiped out the rebels in one night? Is the news accurate?"
Li Ming curled his lips and said: "It was the new commander Xu Jin who led the troops to exterminate the rebels. The main force in the battle was Shangrao Qianhu Station, and Qianshan Qianhu Station was just a support. Hey, if we rely on those farming in Qianshan Qianhu Station
Soldier, it’s good if you didn’t get beaten up by the rebels.”
As the head catcher of the Qianshan County Government, Li Ming was somewhat familiar with the situation at the Qianshan County Government Office. Those farming soldiers did not receive much training on weekdays, and their combat effectiveness was not much better than that of his own government officials.
Wu Linguang was confused and frowned: "Boss Li, what are you talking about? Where did you get the general sentence? Why did you lock up Rao Qianhu Office again?"
Li Ming slapped his forehead and said: "I forgot to mention it to the county magistrate. The newly appointed general judge of Guangxin Prefecture is Xu Jin, a student from Shangrao County who has been in the company for three years..."
After listening to Li Ming's explanation, Wu Linguang suddenly realized that his benefactor, Governor Sun, had actually been killed. Before his death, he appointed a fifteen-year-old Confucian scholar as the general judge of Guangxin Prefecture to control the troops of the counties.
Li Ming added: "Your Excellency, Mr. Xu Tongpan has sent a vanguard of 500 people to take over the city defense and ordered the county government to cooperate with all matters. Right now, the county magistrate Meng is busy vacating the county government prison and preparing to detain the prisoners.
The rebels, hehe, I heard that the rebel leader and deputy Qianhu were captured alive.
Tsk tsk, although this Xu Tongpan is young, he does have a lot of skills. I heard that last night he personally went to Qianshan Qianhu Station to mobilize troops. Deputy Qianhu Luo Hong made excuses and made things difficult, and Xu Tongpan was almost fired.
The gun shot off the head..."
Wu Linguang couldn't sit still after hearing this, and quickly stood up and said: "Go and get ready, I have to leave the city and rush to Fei's house."
Li Ming said in astonishment: "Don't you, Lord County Lord, suffer from back pain?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get ready!" Wu Linguang scolded with a dark face.
As the saying goes, Wu Linguang is an out-and-out loser. Now that Xu Jin, the new commander, has killed more than a thousand rebels, he will naturally rush to pay homage to the mountain, not to mention that Sun Sui is his benefactor.
Lord, the body is now in the Fei family. If he doesn't ask about it, his reputation will be ruined.
Wu Linguang hurriedly put on his Shangguan uniform and rushed out of the city to Fei's house with a group of government servants and confidants.
…
Outside the Fei family's manor, the soldiers and horses of the two guard stations were clearly separated on the east and west sides.
After fighting for most of the night, all the sergeants were tired and hungry. At this moment, they were setting fire to cook. The air was filled with the aroma of rice and meat. As promised by Xu Jin, Housekeeper Zhou ordered several big fat pigs to be killed and delivered.
Reward all the soldiers.
Compared to the lively and high-spirited military camp, the atmosphere inside Fei's house was much bleaker.
In Fei's house, the smell of blood has not dissipated in the air, and stains of blood can be seen everywhere. The servants are cleaning and cleaning, and heart-wrenching cries can be heard everywhere, making people cry.
This time, the Fei family's Zhuang Ding and maidservants suffered heavy casualties. More than forty Zhuang Ding alone died. In addition, many maids were poisoned by the rebels. It will take a long time for all the pain to be diluted.
To forget.
Xu Jin dragged his heavy steps into the courtyard, which was the same courtyard where he had lived in Fei Mansion for more than two months at the end of last year.
"Ms. sir!" As soon as Xu Jing appeared at the door of the room, Xie Xiaowan greeted him happily.
Xu Jin opened his arms and hugged Xie Xiaowan tightly, burying his face deeply in the little girl's hair. Just now, Xu Jin watched with his own eyes the Fei family's servants put away several bodies that had been destroyed by the rebels.
The body of the maidservant was simply too horrible to look at. If this had happened to the person in her arms, I would probably go crazy. Fortunately, I got back in time.
Xie Xiaowan could obviously feel her husband's deep love at this moment. Her heart felt sweet and her pretty face was flushed. She hugged Xu Jin emotionally and murmured: "My husband!"
"Ahem..."
Two coughs sounded, and Xu Jin discovered that his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, was sitting at the coffee table drinking tea, while his brother-in-law Xie Sanqiang was eating melon seeds next to him, while winking at him. He couldn't help but sweat secretly, and quickly let go of his hand and saluted: "
My son-in-law pays homage to my mother-in-law."
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite. My dear son-in-law has been busy all day and night. Please sit down and rest for a while. Yue'er, go and prepare hot water for your master to bathe and cleanse."
Yue'er glanced enviously at Xie Xiaowan, whose face was flushed with happiness, and walked out with a sweet smile.
Jiang and Xu Jin chatted casually for a few words, then left the room with Xie Sanqiang, leaving the space for Xu Jin and his wife.
"Ms. sir, you can't ride a horse again from tomorrow!" After bathing and cleaning, Xie Xiaowan said distressedly while applying medicine to the wound between Xu Jin's legs.
Xu Jin's inner thighs were already bruised. After galloping last night, they were even more miserable now. The bandage was stained with blood. Xie Xiaowan was so distressed that she almost burst into tears. The maid next to him
Yue'er also has red eyes.
Xu Jin said dotingly: "Okay, my husband will never ride a horse again. A carriage will do, or a sedan will do!"
Xie Xiaowan then turned her anger into joy, and while covering for Xu Jin, she said softly: "Ms. sir, sister Ruyi's neck has been cut. You should go and see her when you have time."
Xu Jin couldn't help being surprised. He had been busy at the front after returning with his troops last night, dealing with various matters. He just had time to come back to meet Xie Xiaowan, so he didn't know about Fei Ruyi's injury at all. He quickly asked: "What happened to Ruyi?"
Yes, is it seriously injured?"
Yue'er said: "Miss Ruyi was cut on her neck by her own dagger, but the skin was only broken, nothing serious!"
Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded and said: "I'll go see her later."
Yue'er looked at Xu Jin with a strange expression. Last night, Mrs. Zhao kept talking in front of all the Fei family members, so now the entire Fei family should know that Miss Fei San has an "illicit affair" with her husband.
Although Yue'er was a bit bitter and jealous as the maid who accompanied the family, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it since she was born in a prince's palace. It was abnormal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Which prince's wife didn't have a large number of concubines in his house?
It's just that Yue'er is very curious about how Miss Fei San will be married in the future. After all, the Fei family is a wealthy family, and Mr. Fei Ge will definitely not easily agree to Miss Fei San as his concubine.
Of course, Yue'er is not worried that Miss Fei San will endanger her wife's status. Let alone the fact that she has the status of the prince's adopted daughter. Even if she doesn't, based on the master's deep affection for her, her position as the main wife is definitely unbeatable.
of.
Xu Jin didn't know what his beautiful maid was thinking about. After bandaging the wound and filling her stomach, she fell asleep.
It is said that Xu Jin has not slept since the night of the 18th day of the first lunar month, when Sun Sui gave his final orders. It is already noon on the 20th day of the first lunar month. Calculating carefully, he has not slept for a day and two nights, and he has been running around fighting all the time.
Supported by a will, he was already exhausted.
So Xu Jin fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as he lay down, and didn't wake up until dark. Magistrate Wu, who hurried to the Fei family to pay homage to the mountain, naturally couldn't even see Xu Jin's face. Fortunately, Mr. Fei Ge
