As soon as they saw that Wu Shigong was using a knife here, the tax collectors, gangsters and Qingpi brought by the official screamed and immediately ran away. The people who had just gathered around to watch the excitement also fled in all directions, shouting.
.
From the corner of his eye, Wu Shigong saw the two businessmen who were in the restaurant just now running away in a hurry. As they ran away, they shouted: "Run quickly! There are really gangsters!"
Wu Shigong's lips curled up slightly. He walked up to the official, waved his hand and told Yang Rusong and the others to put away their swords, and asked the official: "Who sent you here?"
The official immediately poured the beans out of the bamboo tube: "It's the Yangzhou Qi family. They reported the case. It has nothing to do with me! It really has nothing to do with me!"
Wu Shigong patted the official's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's the Qi family! Go and tell the Qi family that this is not something their Qi family can afford, nor is it something you, a mung bean and sesame official, can afford. From now on, keep an eye on things."
You have to open your eyes a little bit."
After saying this, Wu Shigong turned around and left the official. He loudly ordered his guards: "Don't worry about the goods. Let Mr. Yuan and the guys from the trading company go ashore, and we will go back together."
At this time, the madam beside Man Ling squeezed to Wu Shigong and asked: "General Wu, what should we do?"
Wu Shigong glanced sideways at the madam and said, "Do you have your own carriage? If so, let's follow together. When will I overtake you and leave?" The madam smiled and nodded in agreement.
The official who was let go by Wu Shigong and the others heard the old bustard calling Wu Shigong "General Wu", and then he suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was also a member of the officialdom. This made him feel relieved, at least Wu Shigong and the others would not treat him wrongly.
He was at a disadvantage. However, although Wu Shigong and the others had ignored the official, the official still stood there blankly, not daring to leave at will.
Wu Shigong's guards were all trained for emergency gatherings, so they all quickly went ashore and assembled the team. Wu Shigong also got on his horse. On the horse, Wu Shigong said to the official who was still standing there
Said: "Why don't you leave? Why don't you wait for me to treat you to dinner? Give the Qi family a message and take good care of the goods on my ship."
After saying this, Wu Shigong shook the reins of his horse and led the guards to leave the dock.
Wu Shigong ignored the boatmen he hired. The madam and Man Ling also left the guards and boatmen on the boat. Because Man Ling and the others only had one carriage, they only had Man Ling on the carriage.
, the madam and the two maids.
As for the people left behind, they can only find a way to return to De Mansion. However, even if the Qi family chases them, they probably won't embarrass these servants.
In the early spring afternoon, the earth was dotted with green. Birds were flying and chirping in the wilderness, bringing bursts of vitality. The hoofbeats of Wu Shigong's horse team beat the ground, as if drums were beating the earth.
And when they moved from the ship to the horseback, all Wu Shigong's personal guards exuded an aura of indomitableness, as if no obstacle in front of them could stop their steps.
Wu Shigong was also very excited. He drove his horse called "Ren Lai Feng", which was indeed Ren Lai Feng, and ran back and forth in front of and behind the cavalry. When the horse speeded up again and passed the carriage in the middle of the cavalry, Wu Shigong saw the window of the carriage.
In the middle, Manling's little head is exposed.
Wu Shigong immediately made a face at Man Ling, and Man Ling immediately yelled at Wu Shigong angrily: "The slave family didn't get on your boat again!"
Manling's body was immediately pulled back by the madam. Wu Shigong laughed and rode his horse and rushed past the carriage.
Maybe Wu Shigong moved too quickly, or maybe the Qi family couldn't figure out Wu Shigong's whereabouts. Anyway, after Wu Shigong hurriedly traveled for several days, neither Mr. Guan nor anyone from the Qi family caught up with him.
After driving for six days, Wu Shigong finally entered Henan. This made everyone feel relieved. He finally reached his own territory.
Seeing that they had arrived in Henan, the Madam and Man Ling wanted Wu Shigong to send some guards to escort them back to Defu City. But they did not dare to tell Wu Shigong, so the Madam quietly found Shu Mo and wanted to use the Man Ling to
Due to the relationship between Ling's maid and Shu Mo, Shu Mo was asked to send a message to them.
But as soon as the madam opened her mouth, Shu Mo flatly rejected her words: "If you have the guts, just talk to our young master directly. To be honest, our young master thinks highly of Miss Manling, and that is her blessing. Just stay here and wait with peace of mind.
Let it be arranged by the young master."
How could Shumo come forward for such a thing? Besides, Shumo didn't have a good impression of the old bustard. When leaving the old bustard, Shumo even said: "Humph! You even gave me Shuye two
It's a hundred taels." You know, our book master is very grudge-y.
After completely entering their own control area, Wu Shigong and his party slowed down. After arranging several guards to send Yuan Xingshan and others back to Runing Mansion to handle the affairs of Sihai Trading Company, Wu Shigong took advantage of this rare opportunity for himself.
When I had the opportunity to leave Runing Mansion, I took a detour to inspect the training of my soldiers in Guide Mansion.
Regarding Wu Shigong's sudden inspection, the military attaches and soldiers in Guide Mansion were a little confused. However, Wu Shigong was very satisfied with this inspection. Because of the lesson learned from He Fei's dismissal last time, all the military attaches were supervising themselves.
The soldiers intensified their training and did not dare to relax for a moment.
Only He Fei was a little disappointed. He still hoped that some military attache would relax the training of soldiers and he could make a comeback.
This kind of inspection took more than half a month. It was not until the Qingming Festival that Wu Shigong returned to Runing Fucheng. Manling and the others had been tortured by Wu Shigong's detention and lost their temper.
When the old madam tried to talk to Shu Mo and was rejected by Shu Mo, the old madam helplessly said to Man Ling: "Daughter, just accept your fate."
Man Ling was not convinced at the time. She also wanted to find Wu Shigong and argue with him. But then, Wu Shigong kept wandering around the various military camps, carefully inspecting the training of the soldiers in the military camps, and simply ignored him.
Man bell.
Gradually, Man Ling discovered that Wu Shigong looked different from the Ming Dynasty officials that Man Ling knew. Wu Shigong was basically busy with official duties all the time and had no fun at all. Even at night,
They were all discussing official business with their military attachés, and there was no act of feasting or enjoyment.
Moreover, the military attaches and soldiers around Wu Shigong were not like the soldiers around other officials. They looked like they were fawning. They all acted in a disciplined and well-founded manner. In addition, Manling later heard about Wu Shigong's
His identity is that of a young marquis. Therefore, Manling could only think helplessly in her heart: "I have no choice but to accept my fate."
Because he had been away for more than a month this time, when Wu Shigong returned home, his family members were very happy to welcome him. Only when they saw Manling brought back by Wu Shigong did the ladies look at Manling more.
Eye.
Wu Shigong didn't care what the ladies were thinking. He played with his children until after dinner. After dinner, Wu Shigong went to Li Xin's room to rest as usual. But Li Xin was full of joy and wanted to drive Wu Shigong away.
go out.
Wu Shigong quickly inquired and found out that Li Xin was pregnant again. This made Wu Shigong very happy. After talking to Li Xin for a while, Wu Shigong went to Zhuyun's room.
But as soon as Wu Shigong stepped into Zhuyun's room, he saw Zhuyun writing something on the desk. Zhuyun raised her head and saw Wu Shigong, and hurriedly tried to hide what she had written. This made Wu Shigong a little bit
Curious, he asked for what Zhu Yun had written and took a look. It turned out to be a letter written by Zhu Yun to his wife Xue Yufei.
This letter reads: "...my uncle brought a girl back to Yangzhou last time. This time he went to Yangzhou and brought back another girl. I hope that the lady will come to Henan soon to prevent my uncle from getting interested..."
It turned out to be a complaint letter! Wu Shigong deliberately made a fierce face and gently hit Zhuyun's head several times. Zhuyun shrank her head and stuck out her tongue playfully.
Wu Shigong handed the letter back to Zhuyun, then hugged Zhuyun and said: "Then tonight, you can take charge of me on behalf of your lady."...
While kissing Zhuyun, Wu Shigong thought: "It's so good to go home!"
