Mugui

Yang Mu was originally very interested in Tang Jing's ability to lip-read, and was thinking about how to lure her into joining the army. Now that Tang Jing took the initiative to mention it, Yang Mu immediately became interested and asked, "You and Cousin Xi want to marry into the Suzaku Army?"

Tang Jing was a little embarrassed and said: "I am at the fifth level of martial arts, and Tang Xi is at the fourth level of martial arts. Moreover, we have been familiar with military books since we were young. We also trained in the army with my father in Ganzhou..."

Tang Jing's voice became quieter and softer. She was afraid of dragging down her cousin.

Yang Mu smiled and said, "Cousin, if you can join the Suzaku Army, I'd love it!"

Tang Jing said with some hesitation: "But I heard that the Suzaku Army is going to be sold into slavery..."

Yang Mu said hurriedly: "That is a last resort. It is really difficult to recruit female soldiers, so we have to sign a contract of sale. In fact, there are some people in the military camp who voluntarily join the army, but the number is very small."

She said excitedly: "Well, cousin, wait for uncle's reply. If uncle agrees, I will go through the procedures for you and cousin Xi immediately!"

Tang Jing smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you in advance! I have to go back and tell Tang Xi about this!"

As she was about to turn around and leave, she thought of something and turned back again, saying: "I see that my aunt also wants to join the army..."

Yang Mu: "!!!"

Tang Jing covered her mouth and smiled: "If my cousin has time to go back home, remember to chat with my aunt."

My aunt is already 40 years old, and there are a lot of things going on in the house, and I'm afraid she won't be able to get away from it.

The corner of Yang Mu's mouth twitched and he nodded helplessly. It seemed that he had to go back to Yang's house early to meet the Tang family.

If her father knew that he had abducted his wife, he would probably come to settle the score with him.

After Tang Jing said she wanted to join the army, she suddenly gave Yang Mu a reminder.

Since Tang Jing, Tang Xi and the Tang family all want to join the army, will there be other women in the capital who want to join the army?
At that time, there will be no need to sign a contract of sale for army recruitment, and the Suzaku Army will be a real army, just like it was decades ago.

Instead of being looked down upon as slaves, female soldiers are now looked down upon.

Moreover, the palace would not be so afraid that the Yang family would have the contract of betrayal of the Suzaku Army.

After figuring this out, Yang Mu hurried back to the duty room to write a draft for recruiting new troops.

The Suzaku Army had killed more than 200 people in the previous battle, and it was a time when they needed to replenish their manpower. This could be considered an opportunity.

When he got off duty in the evening, Yang Mu rode to the hot pot restaurant, then walked out of the back door and entered a dark, deserted alley.

The courtyard at the end of the alley was dimly lit. This was the place Aunt Luan had arranged for her to meet Mrs. Cao's personal nanny.

The person who opened the door was a lame old servant. When he saw Yang Mu, he only bowed slightly and saluted, and then closed the door.

The small yard is not big, with only two rooms. There are chickens and vegetables growing in the yard. It looks like an ordinary farmyard.

The old servant led Yang Mu into the room on the left. Through the dim oil lamp on the Kang table, Yang Mu saw the person sitting on the bed.

Ocher-colored armor, silver hairpin, and silk spring shoes. This is a typical steward's attire. He looks to be in his fifties.

The old woman stood up, bowed slightly to Yang Mu, and said, "I have met the princess."

Yang Mu nodded, looked at the steward across from him who was not afraid of his identity, and asked, "What do you call him?"

The old woman lowered her head and said, "My surname is Teng."

Yang Mu said: "Manager Teng, is your sale contract still with the Cao family?"

Why do nobles sign a deed of betrayal?That is, life and death are in the hands of the master, and what is prevented is the rebellion of the slaves.Since Manager Teng has achieved the No. 1 position beside his mistress, why would he betray her and risk his own life?
She couldn't feel at ease if she didn't understand the matter.

Manager Teng raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the expressionless Yang Mu, nodded and said, "I know."

After a pause, Manager Teng continued: "The old slave also knows that the princess has concerns and is afraid that what the old slave says is not true. If the princess understands why the old slave sells his master for glory, she can believe the old slave."

Yang Mu clasped his hands behind his back, looked at Manager Teng, and asked, "Why?"

Manager Teng spoke slowly and leisurely: "Because the Cao family killed my only daughter!"

More than 20 years ago, Guanshi Teng was sold to a flower and tree businessman by his gambling father. Three years later, he gave birth to a daughter.

Her husband disliked her for not being able to give birth to a boy, so he sold her to Ren Yazi. After that, she moved into the Cao family and became the mistress's maid.

At that time, Master Cao was still a son-in-law, and Mrs. Cao, Fang, ran a medicine shop and medical clinic.

Later, the Cao family became an official, and Mr. Cao used his daughter to marry the princess. As he rose through the ranks, his mind became more active, and he took in one concubine after another.

It’s just that every concubine has a tragic ending.

Manager Teng, who was serving Mrs. Cao closely, could naturally guess the reason.

Three years ago, Mrs. Cao sent Manager Teng to go out on business, and it took a full year before she returned home.When she returned to the house, a concubine had just died in the house.

Mrs. Cao ordered her to deal with the aftermath.

While instructing her servants to wash the concubine, she saw the bright red birthmark on the concubine's back - a four-petal plum blossom.

Steward Teng's blood ran cold all over. The corpse in front of him was the daughter he had not seen for many years and was sold to the theater by her husband!

After questioning, I learned that this concubine was an actor who was bought by Mr. Cao eight months ago.

Not long after she entered the house, my concubine became pregnant. She somehow rolled down the stairs this morning, killing one and two.

How could Manager Teng, who was filled with grief and anger, not know that it was Mrs. Cao who had taken action again!
Manager Teng finished roughly explaining the matter and said: "Princess, this old slave is soft-spoken and can't defeat Mrs. Cao, let alone the Cao family, so I can only avenge the princess with honor and authority!"

Yang Mu looked at Steward Teng and asked, "Since it was Mrs. Cao who killed so many concubines and children of Lord Cao, why didn't Steward Teng report this matter to Lord Cao?"

Manager Teng had a sneer on his face and said: "Princess, how many lives have disappeared in the Cao family over the years. How could Mr. Cao not know that it was Mrs. Cao's method? But Mr. Cao was worried about the princess and did not dare to mention this matter. If you make a big fuss, let alone do anything to Mrs. Cao. Mr. Cao doesn't even dare to give birth to an illegitimate child, he is just a beast!"

She raised her eyes, looked at Yang Mu, and said: "Master Cao knew that Mrs. Cao was very jealous and that every concubine and every child could not survive, but he still kept taking concubines and kept those concubines. The concubine is pregnant! He didn’t even dare to take back Mrs. Cao’s right to manage the middle class!

"After so many years, naturally some concubines can understand that as long as they get pregnant, they will definitely die a good death. Some people secretly drink birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. But Mr. Cao will openly give birth control pills, and Mrs. Cao will also secretly replace birth control pills with Pregnant woman! Just wait until my concubine gets pregnant and then dies tragically in the house!

"Both of them are crazy! They are beasts! They are demons!"

What Manager Teng said later really shocked Yang Mu.

Mrs. Cao's viciousness has exceeded Yang Mu's expectations, and Master Cao's behavior is also shocking.

As soon as Yang Mu came in, Manager Teng, who had been calm all the time, suddenly knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily when he said this.

"Princess! As long as I can avenge my poor child, I...I will not regret dying!"

Yang Mu listened to the resentful voice at his feet, slowly exhaled, and said: "Boss Teng, let's get down to business. Whether we can avenge your daughter depends on what secrets you can tell." (End of Chapter)
