Chapter 474 Something Happened (Part 2)
Every one of me who expresses similar feelings must have a son who is not worry-free.
For example, Li Jing, and Zhu Maocai.
The difference is that Li Hao knows what he is doing, while the second master of the Zhu family doesn't know.
After being driven away, Mr. Zhu returned to his yard with a penis face, with a housekeeper with a bitter face behind him.
"Second Master, in my opinion, you should tell the master the truth, otherwise if someone discovers the beginning and end of it, it will probably involve the entire Zhu family."
"You know what a fool." After Mr. Zhu sat down, he waved his hand impatiently, drove the servants in the room out, glaring at the butler and said, "No one can tell this matter a lot, whether it is a big brother or an old man, it is the same no matter who it is. And I will warn you one last time that we are now grasshoppers on the rope. If you can't run away, you can't run away. Don't think that you can be forgiven if you take the initiative to sue."
"But Second Master, the Master Hou of the Li family is really very big. I heard that all the children of the Lu family in Fanyang were killed by him. We..." The butler said as he said that his face turned pale. I don't know if he was scared by the rumors about Li Hao or his gloomy tone of Zhu Er's voice.
"You are really stupid, but what's so stupid about Li Dejian? No matter how awesome he is, he is just an outsider and cannot be permanently stationed in Longmen County. What are you afraid of him?"
Mr. Zhu said, and went to grab the teacup on the table, but found it was empty inside. He put down his annoyed tone and said in a stern tone: "Butler, I advise you to think about your family carefully before doing anything, and don't mislead yourself. Remember, even if this matter is really kicked off, I, Zhu Shi, and the third young master of the Wang family, may not really die, but you... are dead."
"Yes, yes, I understand, understand."
"Get out, go back and think about it." After receiving a satisfactory reply, Mr. Zhu's expression cleared a little and said to the butler: "You can't stay away from the old man for too long. You go back and keep an eye on it first. Notify me in time if you have any news."
"Yes, I'm leaving." The housekeeper saluted again and arched his body and retreated.
Just as Master Zhu said, the master should not be away from others for too long, otherwise it would be difficult to explain whether it is right.
In the hall in front, Zhu Maocai didn't know what happened in the back house. After sighing for a while, the second son was not good, he sighed and said to the eldest son: "Boss, my father's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years. Many things are full of energy but not enough. Therefore, you should pay more attention to the family affairs in the future, and don't think about things you shouldn't think all day long."
"Yes, my son understands. But father, don't say those sad words. My son feels uncomfortable when he hears it." Mr. Zhu is obsessed with calligraphy and painting. He is not very concerned about family affairs, and he doesn't even want to mention business affairs.
But at this moment, the old man said that he was not willing to refuse directly, so he thought of agreeing first. At worst, he could wait for the old man's sadness to pass and do whatever he should do in the future.
Zhu Maocai didn't understand what his son was thinking, so he waved his hand powerlessly, signaling that his eldest son and grandson could leave and he needed a good rest.
Old Man Zhu is also in his sixties. He was shocked and frightened this day and his body couldn't stand it anymore.
...
In a corner of the south city of Longmen County, the alleys that used to be extremely quiet are full of noise today.
Seven or eight men gathered together, bragging loudly and drinking wine.
More than a dozen little kids surrounded the table not far from the table, staring at the wine and vegetables on the table. Their greed saliva was flowing, and their little noses kept shaking, looking like a dog begging for food.
The women were surrounding the stove in the house, talking about some gossip about the long and short family. From time to time, some people would lift the lid of the pot to see if the fish that was burning inside could be plated and served on the table.
Mr. Gong was lucky. The news that he used a steamed bun to curry favor with the big man in Chang'an City was like wings, and it quickly spread in the alley, which attracted countless people's envy.
The other person who stood with Mr. Gong in the afternoon had no idea how many times he had told the situation at that time, and his mouth was dry.
But whenever I think of the scene at that time, I still feel my blood boiling.
Who would have thought that Xue Rengui, a poor boy who was about to starve to death, now followed Prince Wei, who would have thought that Mr. Gong was kind-hearted back then, but today he actually received the promise of a big shot, and promised his family to be safe in the future.
"Brother Gong, in my opinion, don't continue working on the days on this pier. Take the jade pendant and go directly to General Xue. With his ability, he will do an errand for you in Chang'an. It's just a matter of just one word." The drink was almost done, and in the afternoon the man spoke with his tongue and said his heart.
"No, no!" Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man surnamed Gong shook his head repeatedly: "I didn't do anything at the beginning. I just saw General Xue lying in front of my door, so I couldn't bear to see him starving to death and gave him a steamed bun. Now people are thinking about the kindness of that year, but my surname is Gong, but I can't be shameless. I can't do such a thing as a steamed bun to run to get the benefits."
"Tsk, I'm going to say that you're just trying to save face." Another man said with a drunken eye and smacked his lips: "Pretending to be a chicken and a big tail wolf, do you really think you're a character? Alas, your surname is Gong Yaoying, we're shameless, right?"
"How do you say anything in Kang Laosan!" Someone thought the man was too straight and yelled at him.
"What, am I wrong?" The man in Guanzhong is like a fire, and Kang Laosan was no exception. He was scolded by his companions, put the wine bowl on the table, pointed at the middle-aged man named Gong and said, "If his surname is Gong, I will definitely give him a thumbs up and call him a good man, awesome!
But is he a single person? The surname Gong, you said, are you a single person?
Look there yourself, open your dog's eyes, look at your aunt, then look at your baby, look at what kind of life are they living."
The yard was quiet, and all the men stopped talking, and the atmosphere was dull and a little depressing.
Kang Laosan did drink too much, but he said nothing wrong.
My wife and baby were there, and you could see it by turning your head, but these men didn't dare to look at it, and couldn't bear to look at it, for fear that they would shed tears after seeing it.
The ladies won’t say anything. After getting married, they never wore a decent piece of clothing or jewelry except for the wedding dress I borrowed on the day of the wedding.
Since the baby was born, they didn't know what it means to eat, and their eyes were always filled with desire when they looked at the food.
They envy those rich people, those rich wives who wear colorful clothes and sit in the carriage with gold and silver jewelry, and those rich children who buy food on the street and throw away food at will if they think it tastes bad.
But men couldn't do it. Although they had tried their best to work, at most, their mothers and baby would not starve to death.
It’s not that they don’t want their mothers to eat and wear well, nor do they don’t want their children to go to school with a bookcase. They really can’t do it, even if they work hard, they can’t do it.
"San Lao, you've drunk too much, stop talking."
"Why can't you say it, why can't you? I, Kang Laosan, admit that I am indeed jealous of Mr. Gong, I am jealous of him. I am jealous of why no one was about to starve to death at my doorstep back then, and why no one I know can stand out, I..., woo...."
As he was talking, Kang Laosan, a five-foot man, actually cried loudly: "Erya, baby..., I'm sorry for you. I, Kang Laosan, was incompetent and let you accompany me for the rest of my life. I finally sold you to the Zhu family. I, Kang Laosan, deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
Several men are all neighbors, so they know the truth. Most of the things that happened to Kang Laosan's family are also aware of.
It was the drought that was several months ago. At that time, the river was dry, and there was not even a sampan on the Fen River, let alone a boat. These men who were seeking survival on the wharf naturally had no livelihood.
The third son of Piansheng Kang was also unlucky, but he got sick at this time. The family sold everything he could to cure him, but his condition still did not improve.
In the end, the wife at home had no choice but to watch her man die of illness.
So, one day, she quietly entrusted her man to her neighbors, and then took her children to the Zhu family in the county.
From that day on, people in this alley had never seen this mother and daughter again. Except for the Zhu family who sent five hundred coins to prove that the mother and daughter had existed, the two of them were like evaporated from the world.
After this incident, Kang Laosan recovered, but his temperament began to become extreme. If the neighbors had not known that he had no bad intentions for many years, no one would have paid attention to him.
‘Bang’….
A fist hit the table hard, shaking the cup and plates.
The middle-aged man surnamed Gong turned his head to look at his aunt with red eyes. Their eyes were intertwined, and it was difficult to understand.
After a long time, the middle-aged man surnamed Gong took out the jade pendant that was enough to change his life from his arms, and put it in his hand for a while, and finally he seemed to have made up some determination and his eyes froze: "Brothers, Gong wants to ask for something."
"You said." The other person who accompanied him looked upright in the afternoon.
"Help me find out General Xue's residence, the faster the better."
"Okay, no problem. It may be difficult to find out about other things. You can tell by asking about this."
"Boss Gong, you finally figured it out. It's good, it's really good."
The companions thought that Boss Gong had figured it out and congratulated him one after another.
Boss Gong's wife also showed a relieved smile on her face, and she was finally relieved.
At this moment, Mr. Gong said in a shocking voice: "Lady Kang, don't be so sad. If you want to be a man, you will go to see General Xue and Prince Wei with me later. Even if I sacrifice my face and fight for this life, I will help you find your younger brother, sister and child."
"What?!"
"You are the leader, you..."
"Boss Gong..."
If a middle-aged man in the surname Gong doesn’t make a name for himself, he will make a splash.
Everyone present looked at him in shock, and felt overwhelmed by his decision.
Kang Laosan even dragged his long snot and stared at him blankly, allowing the snot to flow into his mouth without knowing it.
"What are you doing when you are standing there? You don't think that Mr. Gong is the kind of person who abandons his brothers for glory and wealth? Besides, Prince Wei said in the afternoon that this jade pendant is for me to save lives, and it is just right to use it here."
The middle-aged man surnamed Gong smiled very purely, and his dark face seemed to flash with golden lights under the lights at night.
However, his eyes were full of guilt when he looked at his wife and children.
Sorry, my woman; sorry, my child... I will use all my strength to compensate me for everything I have lost in the future.
"Gong, Boss Gong, you, I..." Kang Laosan was very excited and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He was either distrustful of the power of the Duke of Wei’s Mansion. No matter how powerful the Zhu family was, no matter how powerful the power behind it was, it was not as great as the Duke of Wei’s Mansion.
Therefore, as long as the prince is willing to stand up, his aunt and daughter will definitely be able to get them back, and at the worst, there will be news about them.
But... the chance of using the jade pendant should be only once, and after using it, there will be no chance of using it again.
"If you are brothers, don't say anything. Get up. Let's go to Prince Wei and General Xue, go!" The middle-aged man surnamed Gong waved his hand to stop Kang Laosan's next words, turned his head and explained to his aunt: "Xiaohui, please stay tuned for the children at home and wait for me to come back."
"I understand, the head of the family, go." Mrs. Gong smiled gently, but her eyes were filled with unconcealed loss and pride.
This is the man I chose. I did not give up on human nature because of selfishness. Perhaps it was because of this that I would marry him back then.
Mrs. Gong thought so, watching the tall back of her man disappear outside the door.
...
The Longmen County Post Station is already full of Li Hao's manpower.
However, due to the well-trained reasons, although the inn was already full of people, there was no sign outside.
The guys from the Ocean Navy have become accustomed to using sign language to communicate, and even if they are face to face, they are too lazy to talk.
Try not to touch your mouth if you can do it.jpg
Cheng Yinyin was not used to this way of communication. He could not hear any sound at the huge inn, especially when the guards were still wearing black armor, it felt like they were living in a haunted house.
Cheng Yinyin was very "scared", so she ran from her yard to Li Hao's yard and pestered him to tell stories to him.
Li Hao was helpless, but when he saw her pitiful look, he couldn't bear to drive her away.
In this way, the two sat awkwardly in the yard and chatted without a word until a soldier outside came in with a jade pendant that Li Hao was very familiar with and put it in front of him.
