Chapter 992 Hua Lan Oh my god!

On this day, Yuan Wenshao had to work on urgent official matters in the yamen, so he worked until late at night before returning home exhausted.

Although spring has begun, the temperature in Yuzhou is still a bit cold, and even the thick mink cloak cannot withstand the cold wind.

I yawned while riding on the horse. I was used to fishing all day long, but suddenly I was busy at work, which was a bit uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but complain to his confidant Chang Sui Rongbao.

"Damn it, Xu Shiyi, an unworldly playboy, has been thinking about evil ways all day long. Even if the brothel door is open and he won't enter, he must have tasted the consequences this time, and he almost got me involved~"

"Sir, you won't be held accountable for this, right? That's fourteen lives of a family. Xu Tongzhi is too cruel~"

Rong Bao usually claimed to be bold, but when he thought about that incident, he shuddered a little. After speaking, he shuddered subconsciously because it was so scary.

"Alas~" Yuan Wenshao sighed longly, and then shook his head helplessly.

As the saying goes, the county magistrate who broke the family and wiped out the family was the governor. Xu Shiyi was the military commander of Yuzhou. He had always been arrogant and domineering because of his relationship with King Yong, and even the governor of the state did not look down on him.

He was nicknamed "Tiger Xu", not because he was a good fighter, but because he could eat people. He went a little far when he went hunting a few days ago. He slept in a small village drunkenly and raped women.

Then the girl refused to obey, and this guy took advantage of the drunkenness and went on a killing spree. He directly led his troops to kill her whole family. Now he was in big trouble.

The man of that family happened to be away from home for something, and upon learning of the bad news, they immediately gathered together to bandit. In recent years, the two princes in Beijing have been in a heated dispute over the issue of inheriting the heir. Not only has the central government been in chaos, but it has also affected local officials.

And Yuzhou had the disaster of Xu Shiyi, who imposed exorbitant taxes and expropriations all day long, and countless people lost their families and perished.

Li Shi, whose whole family was wiped out, and several of his fellow villagers are now like a snowball, breaking up several wealthy families one after another, gathering thousands of people in Ziyun Mountain, and even robbed the government and army's transport team!

This is no small matter. Relatives of several big families have come together to report to the imperial court. From ancient times to the present, one level at a time has been suppressed.

The two yamen, Dusi and Zhuanshi, were scolded by their superiors, so they naturally issued reprimand orders to Yuzhou to exterminate the Ziyun Mountain bandits within a time limit.

It was okay for Xu Shiyi to let him do bad things, lead troops to fight and get killed, but he felt good about himself and refused to let anyone interfere, so he went out with a battalion of more than 800 people in high spirits.

As a result, they were beaten by those grass bandits and fled, and they came back in disgrace a few days later. However, Ding, the general of the battalion, managed to return to Yuzhou with only one out of ten. This time, he was considered honest, and he began to worry about the meeting with everyone to discuss strategies.

The more he thought about these bad things, the more headache he got. At this moment, he felt that Dahei, who was sitting down, was not moving forward. Yuan Wenshao looked up and realized that he was home.

The leader leading the horse followed and knocked on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"My lord, you are back!"

Uncle Qin, the night porter, heard the sound outside the door and hurriedly picked up the door rail, put on his clothes and came out.

Yuan Wenshao felt weak and weak all over. He was physically and mentally exhausted from the day at the Yamen. He waved his hands and walked into the courtyard.

After entering the house, he looked tired and said: "Rong Bao, tell the servants to be quiet and be careful not to wake up the eldest lady and two children!"

"Also, ask the maid to prepare hot water, I want to take a bath!"

"Yes!" Rong Bao on the side responded respectfully, and then quickly went down to make arrangements.

In the hall, Yuan Wenshao was leaning on the Taishi chair, enjoying the service of two maids squeezing his shoulders and beating his legs.

For a moment, I felt that all the fatigue in my body had dissipated inexplicably. I thought about whether I had done anything wrong in the yamen today, and I slowly couldn't help but close my eyes.

I don’t know how long I squinted.

The mother-in-law came to report, "Master, everything is ready~"

Yuan Wenshao opened his eyes when he heard this, nodded and waved: "I understand, you have been working hard all day, so go and rest early!"

After speaking, he stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back and walked towards the bathroom in the back with eight-step steps. Under the care of the maid, she took off her clothes and entered the tub. She leaned back and closed her eyes.

"Phew, feel comfortable~"

Sip the best tea and then have your back massaged by the beautiful little maid.

It has to be said that the life of this rich and powerful family is really corrupt and decadent, and it is much better than those upstairs in modern bathing centers.

Of course, everything is limited to the powerful class.

Civilians are not that particular, and there is no one who doesn't smell bad.

After lamenting his depraved life in his heart, he casually sent away a few maids serving in the bath, and Yuan Wenshao wiped his body in boredom.

The bathroom was foggy, and Yuan Wenshao couldn't help but yawn for a while. He covered his forehead with a towel and leaned against the tub, intending to close his eyes and rest for a while.

But before I fell asleep, I vaguely felt someone walking over. Before I even opened my eyes, my head was being gently rubbed by both hands. This familiar feeling meant that I didn’t have to guess who it was.

"Madam, why are you up?"

"The two children were so noisy that they didn't even fall asleep!"

The speaker was none other than Hua Lan. She was wearing a light pink blouse with a pink embroidered peach blossom and flying butterfly bra on her upper body, and a long cyan skirt on her lower body with white dots of red plums embroidered on it.

Although she has given birth to two children, her waist is still very slender without any fat, and is tied up with a white brocade belt.

A pair of hands gently rubbed the husband's forehead, and then the couple chatted like this.

"Sir, in a few days it will be Changbai Chungui's day. My mother wrote to ask if we have time to go back~"

"This may not work. A lot of things have happened in Yuzhou recently. The bandits in Ziyun Mountain are making trouble. As the governor, I can't leave my post without permission!"

"Well, then I'll write to my mother later and tell her!"

Hua Lan just said casually, after all, she only went back during the Chinese New Year, and it was very unpleasant. Besides, she usually likes to be lively, and she and her close friends in the back house had already heard about the bandits.

It’s true that I can’t leave…

Yuan Wenshao was quite busy for a period of time after that. Although he did not personally attack, he was also responsible for escorting the transportation of grain and preparation of ordnance and other matters. He almost forgot about his brother-in-law's participation in the imperial examination.

It took more than a month and countless money, food and material resources to finally put down the bandits under the leadership of the new commander.

And that Xu Shiyi was transferred away. It would be nice to have a backer, and he would still be an official after returning to Beijing for such a big deal.

It was rare for me to have a free half-day. After I came back from ordering at the Yamen, I was basking in the sun in the yard. Not long after, I heard a rush of footsteps.

When he looked up, he saw his wife, Hua Lan, running over with a happy face, holding up her skirt. She was so fast that not even the maids behind her could catch her.

Yuan Wenshao smiled fondly. Although she was now a mother of two children, she probably inherited the character of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and was still a bit childish sometimes.

Of course, this is normal, because if you really want to count, Hua Lan is only in his 20s, and in modern times, he probably just graduated from college.

"Madam, what a happy event it is. Run slowly so you don't fall~" He said with a smile and stood up to greet her.

"Officer, my God, I just received a letter from my mother. Changbai actually passed the exam and ranked 13th in the second class!"

"Really?"
