Chapter 401
Burying Hate
In the early morning, the people of the prefect Wu brought their luggage back to the boat, and the official boat went down the water and sailed towards the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. They would go ashore at Taoye Ferry, and then report to the Ministry of Personnel, and then go to Anqing to take office.
Wu Hanchao followed the dock sneakily, watching the official boat heading down the water towards Nanjing, then hurried back and said to Song Xiaoai: "That's right, it's really my father living next door. When I fetched the water last night, I felt that the servant who passed by the yard seemed to be from the mansion. Fortunately, I flicked quickly. Fortunately, if my father found out that we were living together before we got married, it would be troublesome."
Song Xiaoai glared at him and said angrily: "You are brave and brave. You are so capable at the time! Let's go quickly. Since your father has arrived in Nanjing, we have to be ahead of him so that the Duke of the State can be prepared. The Duke of the State promised to take care of us. I don't want your father to chase you away with his beard and glaring."
When Yang Ling heard that Song Xiaoai was pregnant, although the days were still short, Yang Ling did not dare to let her continue to run around the army. When she used cavalry to pursue Zhao Fengzi's troops into Nanzhili, she asked them to stop in Henan and rushed to the south. The two of them came soon. When they heard that the victory in Nanzhili and the remaining bandits fled, they immediately set off for Nanjing. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet their father who went to Jiangnan to take office at the foot of Qingliang Mountain.
Last night, Wu Hanchao and Song Xiaoai were chatting and laughing in the room for a while, and then served her bath. When she brought her wife's bath water out, she happened to see a servant coming out of the kitchen. There was a light in the kitchen, but there was no one in the corridor. Wu Hanchao was so scared that he was so scared that he hurried back and told Song Xiaoai. Although he didn't see it clearly, Wu Hanchao dared not confirm it, but he never dared to go out again. The couple spent the night in a hurry until dawn was watching his father leave. The two of them quickly set off and took the path to Nanjing City.
On the boat, Lao Wu lay on the small window in the cabin, holding a big beard in one hand and lifting the curtains with the other hand and looking outside secretly. Until the boat shook for a while and turned the bend in front, he sighed and patted his chest and sat back in the chair and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, my son was not seeing us, otherwise it would be miserable. I have taught him etiquette and integrity since I was a child. Now he has done this. If he meets me, would you say I would beat him?"
"Beat? Who should you beat? Your daughter-in-law is the second-rank general of the dynasty, the current commander of the emperor's personal guards, and the big head of the Zhuang family in Guangxi. Humph! She is now pregnant with your Wu family. If she makes her angry, she returns to her hometown and changes your grandson to the Song family as the Zhuang family leader, just cry."
Lord Wu raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Your High School cannot be a good match for her father. If you really meet me, no matter what, you will lose my father's dignity and let my always-off teachings. What if Xiaoai's child cries and wipes tears, wouldn't it hurt my precious grandson? Alas. I've been worried all night and dare not beat me, for fear that my son will hear it."
Mrs. Wu laughed and said, "I think you are happy, right? Old Wu's family has few people and has been passed down for generations. The incense is so shaking and making people feel heartbroken. Well...... I saw Xiao Ai's child like a child who can give birth. Are you happy now?"
Old Wu sat back on the chair, stretched his waist, stroked his beard and said, "I am happy because I am so confused. You have to pretend to be a fool. Do not make your family scandals public. This time I arrived in Nanjing, I should do the wedding for them as soon as possible. Otherwise, my wife's belly will become bigger and let others know. Isn't this style, tutoring, and reputation completely ruined?"
Mrs. Wu said angrily: "Who are you blamed? You are just stern in front of your children all day long, what kind of ethics and family style? A strict father and kind mother make the children dare not get close to you, and they dare not say anything when they have something to do, and they still have to hide in the place?"
Old Wu snorted dissatisfiedly, sat there thinking for a while, twisted his butt and started to laugh at himself: "Haha, don't say it, our son is really capable, he will have it if he says he has it. Hahaha, I am really worthy of being my son Wu Wending, a tiger father...... without a dog son!"
"Bah! Lao Wang sells melons!" Mrs. Wu did not give any face.
Jiang Bin was in a good mood today, and he felt like he was surging that day. Looking back, he felt that he was too impulsive. Can anyone mess with the Jinyiwei? Although he was under the command of Duke Wei and belonged to the emperor's personal army, it is better not to offend such a powerful character.
After all, Qian Ning got Wang Mantang from the Xiangmath thief, and he didn't snatch it from his own hands. There is no deep hatred. Wang Mantang was not a daughter, and he was repeatedly insulted by the robbers. What's more, Qian Ning?
Jiang Bin spitted out "pah" and kept convinced himself with various reasons. Finally, he untied the knot in his heart. Early in the morning, he hired a sedan chair to pick up Wang Mantang and waited here.
He had no house in Nanjing, so he rented a small yard in an inn and ordered a few side dishes. He sat on the stone table in the yard and was drinking by himself. Two Jinyiwei carried the sedan chair into the yard with the four sedan chair servants. The two Jinyiwei bowed to Jiang Bin and said arrogantly: "Jiang Guerrilla, your concubine, we have sent it back."
Jiang Bin didn't expect Qian Ning to send someone to escort him back. He bowed his hand and smiled with a stiff face: "Thank you!"
The two Jinyiwei Guli smiled strangely and said, "I'm not willing to be a polite person. The person has been sent, and we brothers have said goodbye."
The two Jinyiwei went swaying. Jiang Bin walked over and stood in front of the sedan chair and raised the curtain of the sedan chair with anger. He was a man with a bad habit, but he was responsible for his work. He knew that Wang Mantang was a weak woman who was unwilling to die, and she could not resist being humiliated again and again, so he didn't want to make it difficult for her. However, when he met at Confucius Temple, Jiang Bin had seen her and Qian Ning smiled and flattered her. He welcomed her very much. Now that he saw her coming back, he remembered this, and Jiang Bin didn't look good to show her.
Unexpectedly, when the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, Jiang Bin was shocked when he saw Wang Mantang's face, and said in a lost voice: "You... Why do you look like this?"
Wang Mantang looked haggard and his eyes were dull. He leaned on the seat and was weak. When he saw Jiang Bin crying, he neither came out nor spoke. Jiang Bin stomped his feet in a hurry and roared: "I'm not dead, why are you crying? What the hell is wrong?"
Wang Mantang shook his head and cried again. Two strings of tears rolled down his pale cheeks. He cried so hard that the pear blossoms were raining. When Jiang Bin saw it, his anger was gone by her crying. He stamped his feet and scolded viciously: "Why are you crying? When I see it, I will cry, and I will laugh at the Qian surnamed so sexy!"
Even though he was scolding, he still reached out to help Wang Mantang out and pulled his arms. Wang Mantang screamed in pain. When Jiang Bin looked at it, he saw that Wang Mantang's thumbs were tied together by a scattered bull tendon. This was a punishment for the police to use when catching a light offender or a woman. He could bind his hands and was not easy to open.
Jiang Bin was stunned when he saw this, knowing that something was wrong. Jiang Bin first took out the silver and sent four sedan chairmen away. Then he led Wang Mantang back to the room, took out a sharp knife from his waist, carefully cut the cow tendon between her hands, and then asked: "Why is this? Why did he tie your hands? You are mine, do you still want to take them back like a criminal? I'll go find him!"
Wang Mantang knelt on the ground with a loud bang, hugged Jiang Bin's legs, and cried bitterly: "Master. I have repeatedly lost my integrity and have a good nature. I am not worthy of my master's performance for me. I am just a humble and shameless woman, not worthy of your pity."
Wang Mantang cried sadly, and this time she was really sad. Because her father had been indulging her since she was a child, she walked around the streets like a boy, and met some playboys who had no idea about chastity. She was originally a romantic woman. When she followed Jiang Bin, she was also asking for a way out, not to be sincere to him, so she was robbed by men and officials and bandits, only to save her life. As for which man she was with, she didn't care.
Qian Ning has a higher official position than Jiang Bin, and is also an official in Jiang Nan, which is richest in the world. She is one in the sky and one underground, and is more sweet than Jiang Bin. After following Qian Ning, she consciously climbed up to the top and couldn't help but feel complacent, especially when she saw two flesh scars on Jiang Bin's cheek at Confucius Temple. She was even more ferocious and ugly than before.
However, Qian Ning is a very despicable person and likes to play tricks. He can't afford to offend Yang Ling. The Duke of the State came forward to plead with him. He dared not give face. However, Jiang Bin challenged him in public. He felt that he was the governor of the Nangong Fusi and was threatened by such a small officer. If he was so humble, he would be really shameless to see others in the future. After thinking about it, he poured all his resentment on Wang Mantang.
After returning to the mansion, Qian Ning was no longer gentle to her. This woman would no longer belong to him. What kind of pity does he have? Not only did he rudely ravage her, but after he was overjoyed, he rewarded her to several personal soldiers and even the trusted servants in the mansion to play with her. He was just sincerely humiliating Jiang Bin and finding her face back in public. Aren’t you challenging me? Your concubine has played with the people who serve me around me, and I see how you meet people in the future. She is still my natives in the past three days. I would like to reward whoever I am willing to give in. You are not afraid of embarrassing and making trouble.
Not only that, in order to stimulate Jiang Bin, he also tampered with Wang Mantang. In order to make Jiang Bin unable to bear the hardship, he could not make such a prudent matter to Weiguo, and was even embarrassed to spread it to others. His method of humiliating people was used in Wang Mantang's secret place.
Wang Mantang really didn't expect that Qian Ning looked kind and more gentle and considerate than a rough man like Jiang Bin. Once he was so cruel and vicious, he would be so heartbroken to her, a weak woman, and he was really heartbroken.
Seeing that she was just crying, Jiang Bin was so anxious that he blushed and his neck was thick. He grabbed Wang Mantang and asked about the past. His hands were very strong and he didn't know the importance of it. He pinched Wang Mantang's arm torn apart. She couldn't bear it, so she had to bear the humiliation and tell the past. After hearing her statement, Jiang Bin slowly let go of his hand and stood up, sucking in his mouth, without saying a word for a while.
Wang Mantang looked up and saw that Jiang Bin's forehead was bulging like green earthworms, his face was red and he was about to bleed blood. His eyes were wide open, and the two inward lumps made of arrow wounds on his cheeks were leaping. He chuckled strangely and said sternly: "He... let the personal soldiers in the mansion and the servants rape you?"
When Wang Mantang saw him like this, he couldn't help but crawl back a few steps. He thought Jiang Bin was so angry that he was about to kill her, but he heard Jiang Bin say again, "His he tampered with you?" What tampered with you?"
Wang Mantang hugged his arms and said tremblingly: "I'm...... I'm tied to a chair. I really don't know. Then they tied my hands and asked the Jinyiwei to take them back."
Jiang Bin sneered and pulled her up. Wang Mantang was tall and plump, and weighed ten pounds, but it was as light as a kitten in Jiang Bin's hand. She screamed and was thrown on the couch, and Jiang Bin began to tear her underground clothes. Wang Mantang was scared and cried and struggled. Jiang Bin said angrily: "Where hasn't you seen all over you? Then a loud noise. I will slap you in a whisper."
Wang Mantang didn't dare to struggle, and covered his face with both hands and just cried.
When Jiang Bin saw that a stream of turbid air surged, he staggered and took two steps back. He felt the blood in his chest surging, and with a thud, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Wang Mantang took away his hands and saw Jiang Bin's face pale and bloody corners of his mouth. He couldn't help but scream. Jiang Bin's eyes turned black. He calmed down and turned around to pick up two swords on the table. Wang Mantang was terrified and was about to dodge. Suddenly, he remembered that he was conceited with beauty, but over the years, he had a lot of fate and was bullied. He was completely disappointed. She crawled two steps forward, knelt on the bed, stretched out her slender neck, and said sadly: "Master wants to kill me, let's kill me now. I'm really boring to live."
Jiang Bin stuck out his tongue and licked the blood in the corner of his mouth, and said with a grim smile: "What's the ability to kill a woman? Wash it off by yourself, don't let me see it again. I'll go find Qianning, that bastard!"
Wang Mantang stared at Jiang Bin going out, and it took a long time to save some time to see what Qian Ning was doing. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry. This woman who never takes chastity seriously developed a strong sense of shame for the first time. She only felt that she had no dignity of being a human being. She usually thought she was young and beautiful, and the men were coveted, but she didn't know that in their eyes, she was always just a toy.
She thought of Jiang Bin again. This person is definitely not a perfect person, and not necessarily a good person. However, despite his faults, he is the only man who does not dislike himself, is insulted and angry, and is willing to fight for himself and bleed. Thinking of this, Wang Mantang hated and regretted, leaned on the bed and cried sadly, and felt heartbroken.
After this incident, Wang Mantang was enlightened. From then on, he washed away all his destiny and kept his wife's way. After that, he accompanied Jiang Bin for his whole life, he served him sincerely and never had a second thought. Besides, Jiang Bin, he walked on the streets of Jinling with his two swords. When pedestrians saw him holding his two swords, his face was on his face, and his fierce murderous aura was so fierce that he couldn't help but retreat to both sides. At the scorching sun, Jiang Bin's walking felt like a storm was shaking, which made people feel scared.
When we arrived at a crossroads, a convoy happened to pass by. Several soap servants shouted, "Peals dodge and avoid, the new magistrate of Anqing, Lord Wu, arrived."
These officials went out with flags and ceremonial guards, but Wu Wending had just taken office and had no ceremonial guards. He went to the Ministry of Personnel to pay homage to Duke Wei and met his son at the same time. The prefect of Yingtian sent a team of yamen to temporarily serve him.
Jiang Bin wore ordinary casual clothes in the military today. If he didn't have a title, no one knew his rank. He walked here silently. When someone asked to stop, he stopped. When Wu Wending's convoy passed, he thought for a while, but couldn't stop and left.
After this delay, he suddenly saved up. Qian Ning was so angry that his mansion was not prepared? He just took the knife and left, afraid that he would shoot him and kill him as soon as he entered the door. He would be unjustly killed. At that time, even the Duke of the State would not say anything.
Then he pulled his subordinates to fight with the Jinyiwei? What did the Jinyiwei do for food? This is their territory. Before the team could be pulled out, he might have heard the news and escaped. As soon as the news reached the Duke's ears, what should I say?
Did he tell the Duke that he would rather play with my woman than his house, even the underground people in his house played with my woman, and even painted pictures on her private parts to humiliate me? Should he call Wang Mantang as a witness, and should he find another stable woman to verify it?
If that were the case, I would be embarrassed if she was not ashamed. I, Jiang Bin, was not a despicable person. Now I am a guerrilla general. After all, I will never look up and want to be a human being.
Jiang Bin, leaning on his swords, staring at his figure under the sun. After a while, he suddenly looked up at the sky and beat him up. He carried the swords and turned around and left. Look at the relaxed soldiers who were idle and walking around the streets.
But Jiang Bin's body and appearance are too eye-catching. No one noticed the faint resentment in his eyes and the evil smile on his lips: "I, Jiang Bin, is a seven-foot man. I am a great humiliation. How can I be like that woman? Go and sue you for a lawsuit? I want to stay in Jinling. The future is long. If you like to play, then let's play slowly. You are despicable to my woman for three days, sooner or later, I will play with you for three years!"
"Mr. Wu has worked hard all the way," Yang Ling sipped the tea and said with a smile.
"Where is it? The Duke of the State is working hard to deal with the Jiangnan region every day." Wu Wending looked at his son standing beside him and said, "The little dog has been practicing martial arts on the mountain since he was a child and has been marching in the army. The rules in the officialdom are not too much. Following the Duke of the State will not cause trouble for you, right?"
He had been polite for a long time in the two sessions. There was no outsider in the hall. Apart from the Wu father and son, there was only one Yang Ling. Yang Ling looked at Wu Hanchao and smiled and said, "Hanchao has helped me a lot. He has been practicing in the army for a long time and is now a qualified general."
He looked at the uneasy Wu Hanchao and said, "Hanchao, please send it back by General Xu, and ask him to count it out and report it to the pension and reward according to the actual number of casualties and the registered officers and soldiers."
"Yes!" Wu Hanchao knew that Yang Ling was going to pick up Song Xiaoai's pregnancy for his father, so he hurriedly agreed and hurriedly retreated.
Yang Ling hesitated for a moment, looked at the majestic and bearded civil servant, and hesitated and said: "Mr. Wu, I know that I have a deep hope for the son. I hope he can serve the country and make more contributions while he is young. Han Chao will not let down your teachings and expectations. He has entered the official career for many military achievements and has worked diligently. But, uh......"
Wu Wending became nervous: "Mr. Please tell me if you have something to say. What's wrong with the little dog? The Duke even scolded the lesson, so you don't need to be polite."
Yang Ling covered her lips and coughed, and it was a bit inconvenient to talk about other fathers about these things. He calmed down and said, "Now the war has stopped, and the aftermath is rippling. It is the time when people are used, and the son is a capable man. But a few more Dukes of Japan returned to Beijing and wanted to keep him in Jiangnan. Lord Wu happened to come here to take the post, so let's prepare for his marriage."
"Preparing for a marriage?" Wu Wending was stunned and thought urgently in his heart: "What does the Duke mean? Is he knowing that Han Chao does good things, or is Han Chao asking him to beg for the media if his wife is pregnant?"
Yang Ling laughed dryly and said, "To be honest, Lord Wu, the son and Xiao Ai are in love with each other, and they are always with each other every day... so they have achieved good things. Now Xiao Ai is still pregnant..."
"What?" Wu Wending stood up as soon as he heard this, "shocked and angry" said: "This rebellious son is guilty of the customs and despises. My Wu family's poetry and rituals are passed down from family style. How could a person who is so insulting? Duke, this... this is really shameful. What a blessing is it to do things around Duke. I don't know how to be careful and follow the rules! Don't worry about this little beast. When the official returns, he will definitely discipline him strictly and punish him with family laws."
Lao Wu was blowing his beard and staring at his eyes, and he was almost pounding his chest to write a bloody letter. You should know that in ancient times, it was a great cause of morality before marriage. As an official, the word "virtue" was the most important. If the Duke became disgusted by this, his son's future would be ruined. His son became a relative and could also go to Beijing to become an official, but the Duke wanted to leave him in the place. Wouldn't he have already had this idea and exile in disguise? How could Lao Wu not be nervous when he thought about this?
When Yang Ling saw him reacting like this, he did not look as Wu Hanchao expected and quickly advised: "Hey, Lord Wu, don't do this. I also think Hanchao's doing this is too unsteady. However, he and Miss Xiao Ai have already set a name, which is not a hindrance to the family. In my opinion, Lord Wu should let him go. Besides, this matter should not be hyped. Getting married early will cover it up."
Wu Wending said sadly: "The Duke's mind and demeanor make the official ashamed. Alas, this is a private matter, but now the only way to do this is the only way to do it. The official just hates the little beast who is ungrateful and has the opportunity to do things under the Duke's command, but he does not know how to reflect on himself. Now he is disgusted by the Duke. It is his own fault. The official... The official is so ashamed that he really has the high expectations of the Duke."
"Disgusted? What do you hate?" Yang Ling said inexplicably, "You old man is angry that your son is not following the rules. Why am I angry with you?"
He said in confusion: "This is a small matter, how can you lose the big one because of a small matter? I think so. Han Chao is just a choir who is in front of me. It is difficult for him to develop as a disbanded cavalry lieutenant in the Ministry of War. I am going to ask for an order to release him as a guard commander. It is easy to develop in the army, and you can meet your father and son nearby. What do you think?"
Wu Wending was very calm when he heard this. The cavalry lieutenant was a false position, but the commander of the guard was real power. It seemed that the Duke of Guo did not blame Han Chao. He quickly changed his expression and said, "The Duke of Guo is really kind to the dog's son. Wu Wending was ingrained in his heart. In this way, according to the Duke of Guo, the subordinate officials would first handle the marriage for the beast as soon as they took office. When the Duke of Guo was in charge, they would also invite the Duke of Guo to come."
Yang Ling laughed and said, "If I were in Jiangnan, I would definitely go there. In the past few days, my Duke will have to return to Beijing. After all, state affairs are important. If time is not enough, my Duke will also regret it."
"That's right, that's right, state affairs are important, uh...... the officials must prepare as soon as possible."
Wu Hanchao, who was hiding outside the door, couldn't help but be furious when he heard this. He didn't want to listen to the words below. He turned around and danced and went to Song Xiaoai to report the good news. His son was anxious, but I was even more anxious. Wu Wending had no intention of staying in Nanjing for more time. When he said goodbye, he rushed to Anqing to take office.
Seven days later, a letter of greeting was delivered to Yangling's mansion. Yangling opened the letter in the study and saw that Wu Wending invited the Duke to attend the wedding banquet invitation of his son. The time was set for three days. He couldn't help but smile at Ma Lian'er, who had just brought tea, and said, "This Lord Wu is impatient and full of enthusiasm, without any steady temperament of a literati. From taking office to getting married, and then removing the time on the way, I guess he has almost done all of it in three places, and he is really there."
Ma Lian'er's eyes were full of wavy eyes and said with a charming look: "Of course, you can't compare with your Duke Wei. Your daughter is almost two years old. The marriage has not been settled yet. I just met you, a chronic doctor."
Yang Ling smiled and hugged her flexible and round waist, let her sit on her legs, and smiled in her ears, "Shameless girl, you are the urgent patient, huh? How anxious is it?"
She suddenly hooked Yang Ling's neck with her backhand. As soon as she put her cherry lips on her back, she heard the big stick in the middle hall of the outer room shouting: "Dude, the imperial envoy in the capital has arrived!"
Lian'er jumped off Yang Ling's body, slid her hair in her messy hair, and whispered: "Why don't you go quickly?"
When it comes to imperial edicts, central edicts, secret edicts, and special edicts, Yang Ling has received more edicts in the past two years than other officials in his entire life. Even imperial edicts are not surprising, so he didn't make much fuss.
Yang Ling smiled and pinched Lian'er's cheeks, then he walked out of the study. He saw a middle-aged official standing there with the imperial edict in his arms, and four Jinyiwei in flying fish suits stood high behind him with embroidered swords at his waist.
When Yang Ling saw it, he recognized that it was the eunuch Zhang Zhishui who was walking in front of Zhengde. Yang Ling smiled and said, "It turns out that it was the emperor's mission that Eunuch Zhang gave birth to. How good has it been?"
Zhang Zhishui hurriedly smiled and said, "The Duke Chengguo asked, "I am the emperor who is not convenient to pay tribute. I hope the Duke will forgive me."
"Haha, don't be polite," Yang Ling said as he walked up to him, brushed his robe, straightened his scarf, Zhang Zhishui curled his smile, and coughed, "Duke of Wei, Yang Ling, accept the order!"
Yang Ling knelt down and listened to the order. Emperor Zhengde agreed to his remarks. General Xu Tai stayed in Jinling as the general, and controlled the troops and horses of the Southern Zhili. Jiang Bin was the commander of the central guard in Nanjing and the deputy general. Ma Ang was the commander of the left guard in Nanjing and the general was the general. Wu Hanchao was the guerrilla general of Jiangnan Road. Peng Shayu led the light ship navy to settle in the Yangtze River port outside Nanjing to strengthen the security defense of the accompanying capital.
Yang Ling was overjoyed when he heard this. At this point, Li Sen was stationed in Huguang, He Bingwen was in charge of Fujian, Guangdong, Bai Chongjian and Zhejiang, Xu Tai, Jiang Bin, Ma Ang, Wu Hanchao guarded the accompaniment and the northbound main road, controlled the entire Nanzhili, and there was a navy defending the Yangtze River. Unless King Ning did not move, he would immediately surround him from all directions, trapped like an iron barrel. These generals were all good at fighting military generals and were always loyal to the court. Yang Ling did not believe that Prince Ning dared to be tough in this situation.
Chapter completed!
