Four hundred and seventeenth chapter Beiyang hometown
My nephew:
It’s like seeing a letter in person. I’m writing to you today. I really can’t decide. I hope and pray...
…
After Su Lu read the letter, he frowned and asked Li Qing, who was lying on the brocade couch next to him.
"Which channel did this letter come from?"
Li Qing was slightly surprised. What was the channel? It should be Dingxiangwei or an inn.
"It was transferred here from Dingxiang Guard. Since the Northland has expanded and the area has become larger, the power of Dingxiang Guard has also expanded to the north. I don't know who is the chief officer of Beiyang Dingxiang Guard now."
Su Lu stood up: "I went to the North to have a look. I haven't been back for a long time. My distant uncle encountered a difficult problem and asked me to make a decision for him."
Li Qing raised his eyebrows, got up from the brocade couch, threw aside the memorial in his hand, and said in persuasion:
"But are you encountering any difficulties? Is it because you have no food at home or are you being bullied by evil people? You don't need to go there in person to solve the problem that can be solved by just sending a message."
Su Lu smiled: "Your Majesty, you are short-sighted. After all, I, Su Lu, am also a prince. Beiyang is still Su Yun's fiefdom. That idiot dares to insult my uncle."
"The purpose of this letter is to invite me to go home and read it. I always feel that something is wrong. Are all my brothers and sisters at home this old?"
Hearing this, Li Qing was obviously a little confused: "Brother and sister? Shouldn't I be about the same age as you?"
Su Lu waved his hand: "My mother's family is poor, and most of her relatives' families have a hard time. Those who are related to each other are two families. My original intention was to enthrone only one family. Now it seems that it is not them.
The canonization was wrong."
"This is a family matter, I'll go back and take a look."
Li Qing was a little worried. Although everything was safe in the north, Thule was lying low, and the Guards were already the strongest army in the north, he still felt a little worried.
"Su Yun, go and have a look. You don't need to go and see it yourself, right?"
Li Qing really didn't want Su Lu to have to work hard again. What would he do if his injuries were aggravated?
Su Lu smiled: "Okay, if you can bring Su Yun back, I wouldn't mind her traveling for me. Anyway, she knows all the relatives in my hometown."
…
Beiyang
South of the city, Shadui Village.
In a dilapidated courtyard at the end of the village, a stooped man sat at the door, looking enviously at the mansion opposite.
"Silly old Gen, you are squatting outside the door smoking again. Go and give it to the helper at the door. We haven't paid back the New Year's gift money yet, damn Sha Dagen."
The man called Sha Laogen stood up with a smile, knocked the cigarette bag in his hand, wiped it with his sleeve like a treasure, went into the house and put it away, only to be greeted by another woman scolding him.
"If the boss can get a wife this year, how much work do you expect you to do for her?"
"If you continue to be such a lazy person, I won't be able to marry you."
After such a noise, the man came out in disgrace and reached the opposite door.
Opposite the door is a large house, with a vermilion-lacquered door spanning more than ten steps. The tall doorway is majestic. There are several servants in gray standing at the door. When they saw Lao Gen coming to the door, they all said with a smile:
"Lao Gen, there's not much work to do these days. You can't make any money even if you come here. You'd better go back."
"Yes, Lao Gen, there are no big shots coming down from above, so you won't make any money even if you come here. I'm so stingy that I won't give you any money."
"Go back, Old Gen. Why don't you go digging for food in the fields? You can save some."
A group of people were either ridiculing or showing good intentions. Sha Laogen stood at the foot of the steps and apologized to a group of guards.
"Wow"
The closed middle door suddenly opened wide, and a fat man in rich clothes rushed out from the door, holding a letter in his hand and shouting.
"Go and tie Sha Laogen from across the street to me. Damn... Hey, bring him to my door and give him a beating."
The fat man pointed his thick hand at Sha Laogen at the foot of the steps and cursed fiercely.
"You are a rip-off, eat my food, use my food, even if your daughter gets married or your son gets a wife, I have thought about it for you."
"This is how you repay kindness with hatred. If I don't beat you to death today, I won't be Sha Dagen."
Amidst the angry shouts, a group of servants surrounded him, knocked Sha Laogen over, and beat him hard on his head and face.
After beating for a while, Sha Dagen stopped the servant, walked over, and kicked Sha Dagen on the butt.
"How dare you hit my old man!"
With a sharp sound that sounded like tearing clothes, Laogen's wife across from Mensha rushed out holding a rolling pin as thick as an arm.
"I'll beat you to death, you bastard."
“Bang bang bang”
Sha Laogen's daughter-in-law beat her wildly, several servants received several blows, and then she was knocked down.
Sha Dagen pointed at Sha Laogen's daughter-in-law fiercely: "Xiuxiu, you still dare to hit me. Your family eats and drinks from me. I give you gifts during every year and festival, and you still want to harm me?
Do you have any conscience anymore?"
"You still want to hit me and say hell, but your Sha Laogen family won't take any notice of you today."
Lao Gen's wife got up from the ground, the flesh on her face trembled, and she said viciously: "Don't think I don't know, if you hadn't hooked up with Zhao Lizheng, this big house would have fallen on you."
"Back then, my family was the one who took care of Su Yun and her grandma's family. You guys bullied them. Su Yun took the wrong medicine and then rewarded your family. Didn't you kidnap Zhao Lizheng's wife and get all the benefits to your family?
.”
After some scolding, Sha Laogen and Xiuxiu were beaten again.
When Su Lu arrived, the fight had just ended. Qingfeng who opened the way didn't know Sha Laogen and just asked.
"My prince has received my uncle's letter and has come to see him. You go and report that Prince Su Lu of Anguo has arrived."
Up and down the gate, everyone fell silent.
Sha Dagen made a show of force towards several servants, scurried to the foot of the steps, helped Sha Laogen up, and threatened them fiercely.
"You kid, please listen to me. If you cooperate this time, I will give you one hundred taels."
When Sha Laogen heard this, his eyes lit up. One hundred taels was a huge sum of money. Not only did he have the gift money for his son's marriage, his wife also had money to wear clothes.
After wiping the blood under his nose, Sha Laogen responded in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, I'll do it, Mr. Sha."
The driver for Su Lu was Chang Ning. In order to save Su Lu from the bumpy road, the carriage drove very slowly. By the time Su Lu arrived, the door of the Sha family mansion had already been cleaned.
After getting off the carriage, Su Lu was about to walk to the right. When he saw the mansion on the left, he stopped again and asked Sha Laogen at the foot of the steps.
"Uncle, I remember that your house is across the street from where you enter the courtyard. Why, when did you move to another place?"
Su Lu was already convinced that someone must have made a mistake and exchanged the two uncles he wanted to reward.
However, looking at Sha Laogen in front of the door, Su Lu was still a little confused.
Could it be that the honest old uncle in the past turned into a bully after he got rich, bullying men and dominating women?
But with my aunt's appearance, it's really possible.
"Uncle, who beat you so badly that your nose was bruised and your face was swollen?"
