The general's wife through time

Chapter 159 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
A ray of morning sun slowly broke through the clouds, and a faint orange light gradually appeared on the horizon. The calm sea surface was illuminated inch by inch. Against the background of distant mountains and green mountains, four ocean-going ships were traveling at high speed, making ripples.

Sunlight shone on the beds through the windows. At the same time, people on more than a dozen beds in the four ships suddenly opened their eyes. But they didn't get up. Instead, they tossed and turned in bed, waiting...

After waiting for half a cup of tea, Kaiyang whispered, "Isn't that right?"

Why didn't the general strike any iron today?
The sound of ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, etc., sounded on time every day for nearly two months, and then suddenly disappeared. It was really not used to it!
Just when everyone was confused, a burnt aroma filled the air, stimulating everyone's taste buds.

Kaiyang threw off the quilt, jumped out of bed, and ran towards the deck happily.

The general must have known that he had disturbed everyone's rest recently, and because of his conscience, he caught seabirds today to reward them.

As soon as Kaiyang approached the deck, he heard the deep voice of his general.

"Be obedient and you'll be fine soon."

Kaiyang stopped not far away. He couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the general who had conquered the North and shocked South Vietnam with one spear. He stared at the strange scene in front of him and swallowed his saliva.

His general is actually harming the hair on the golden eagle's tail!

The golden eagle finished the last bird leg in its mouth and turned to look at the brazier.

What was burned in the brazier was not only its leftover bird skeleton, but also its majestic and domineering feathers, which were its gone glory.

It didn't expect that it would pay such a high price to come and eat the delicacies fed by its owner with great joy.

It let out a mournful low cry, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and held back its tears.

Before the golden eagle could finish sighing, Yaoguang tied a large bundle prepared by Qin Shuanyuan under the golden eagle's belly without hesitation.

The golden eagle almost burst into tears when he looked at the burden that was as big as itself.

Tiger sister, didn’t you say you want to protect animal rights? It has been bullied like this, why don't you stand up and seek justice?
The white tiger took the wooden stick in his mouth and pulled the grilled scallops aside to dry. He glanced at the golden eagle briefly, and finally his eyes stopped on the bird's tail that was refined into a heart shape by Qin Huangyuan, and nodded with satisfaction.

Hey, Golden Eagle, there's no other way. This is your job. If you persist, this will definitely be the last big express delivery. I'm sure you won't have to run around anymore after tonight.

The golden eagle took a deep breath: Why?
Bai Hu: Because we can dock at night.

The golden eagle took a deep breath again: Damn, we are almost reaching the shore, why do you still need me to send you? Couldn't the owner wait until he got home before sending it off?
In order to give it a New Year gift, I even cut its tail into this weird shape!
Master, you have no humanity!
Seeing the golden eagle leave cursing, Bai Hu shook his head.

Silly bird, you don't have a wife, so of course you can't understand Qin Huangyuan's anxiety.

His wife not only went into the water to save people, but also sent other men home. How could he not be anxious? What if the gift is delivered late and is outdone by someone else’s gift?
Besides, Qin Huangyuan speeded up his voyage just to surprise his wife during the New Year. Giving gifts first and then giving away others would make the surprise even more surprising...

After dinner, the old lady of the Si family personally sent Xue Tang and others to the gate. The old man held Xue Tang's hand and was reluctant to let go.

"If we weren't all going to attend the palace banquet tomorrow, I really want to ask you to come and celebrate the New Year with me, an old woman."

Xue Tang smiled slightly and said: "We will come over on the first day of the Lunar New Year to wish you a happy new year. You..."

"Madam, Madam General!"

Agent Fang's anxious shout interrupted the conversation between the two. Everyone followed the sound and saw Captain Fang walking quickly, carrying a thin young man in his hand.

Qin Mingqi recognized the young man at a glance. He was the concubine of Lord Gu Hou who was rescued from Pei's house that night.

"What's wrong?" Xue Tang asked.

After finding Xue Tang, Captain Fang breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the person in his hand in front of Xue Tang, "The general's wife is here, you can talk now!"

Without Agent Fang's support, the young man shivered, his body went limp, and he collapsed directly on the ground.

Taking advantage of the young man's panic, Detective Fang quickly summarized the outline of the matter to Xue Tang and Si Wei.

"After Laba, some cases of food compatibility occurred in the back houses of some wealthy families. At first, they concealed the case and did not report it for the sake of face. It was not until the wife of the Wang family reported it to my family seven days ago that it was poisoning by a bastard, that my family knew about it. After investigation, it was found that there were more than a dozen bedridden mistresses in Beijing, as many as thirty maids and maids were poisoned, and five bastards were killed with sticks secretly stolen from the family. My lord is sure that this is the case. Someone was behind the poisoning case. Further investigation revealed that the suspects were all young eunuchs who were kicked out of the palace, and they all entered the palace through the Pei family. However, the suspects we caught were all tough-talking. Very, no matter what punishment is imposed, they will not confess. We are also monitoring the bastards who did not commit the crime. Just now, we found that a man in black sneaked into the Gu family and contacted this boy, but this boy had to meet the general's wife before he would tell the truth. The truth.”

At this time, the boy's mood had stabilized slightly. He raised his head, looked at Xue Tang, and said with red eyes:
"Madam, when you exposed Pei's crimes and rescued people like us, I think everyone should be very happy like me after being rescued, and then fell into deep confusion.

Everyone in the capital knows that we are useless people. What can people like us do even if we return home? We are a disgrace to our family, and most of us will live worse than the beasts at home when we return.

My wife donated land to build a Chinese school with the imperial court, but what does that have to do with us? There is no academy that is willing to accept us anymore, let alone Chinese studies in the imperial court. We have no future!

I think most aristocratic families are just disgusted with the general's wife. It is precisely because of your meddlesomeness that you will cause trouble later on. Otherwise, let alone letting the concubine enter the palace and maybe become a helper, it is not considered a sacrifice, even if the concubine dies directly. It has no impact on them, they just set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.

As for those concubines, at least they can still survive in the palace and will not be worse than pigs or dogs like they are now. So few bastards will thank you, and they will hate you as much as they hate their parents at home. Therefore, when they receive a secret message saying that as long as they poison the mistress of the family and involve you, they will not only be able to avenge themselves, but they can also enter the palace and live a life of pampering in the future, they will all ignite their fighting spirit and want to do something for them. If you give it a try, no one will sit still and wait for death.

As for me, I was still doing well, but my father divorced his wife when he returned home. I could just eat and die at home, so I didn't plan to do anything. I came to see Madam just because I want to seek protection from Madam. Although my father used to like to go out and drink, he has changed for the better now. It’s just that he is weak and cannot deal with the forces behind the scenes. If Madam can protect me, the entire Gu family If it's safe, I'll hand over the secret message from the man in black. "

"The Si family protects you, just say it!" Si Wei said in a deep voice.

"No, I don't trust anyone, I only trust the general's wife."

"Okay, I promise you." Xue Tang frowned.

She knew that people's hearts were complicated, and she had also considered that it would be difficult for those children after they came out, so when she donated the land, she made a condition that the victims would be able to go to school in the future. They were all children of aristocratic families. Even in the future, It is difficult to find a good job outside, but if you have the ability, you can at least make a difference in your own household affairs and avoid being wasted.

But she still overestimated the conscience of the wealthy families. Those parents and relatives never thought about giving their children a chance to bathe in the sunshine again. The words Shangguan Xun had previously told them to love and protect their children and clean up their family tradition were probably worse than nonsense.

The young man handed over a note with trembling hands.

Xue Tang immediately opened it and read it to everyone at the same time: "Tonight, at midnight, the fire will burn down the house..."

Xue Tang moved his fingers slightly, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said sternly: "If something changes, catch me and go to the prison quickly!"

At the critical moment, Xue Tang could no longer care about anything else. As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards Jingzhao Mansion. When leaving, he only had time to tell Qin Mingrui, "Send someone to protect the Gu family."

Upon seeing this, Qin Mingshu, Qin Mingyue, and Qin Mingqi all wanted to help.

Si Wei stepped forward and stopped in front of several people, "You guys wait here, I'll go."

The old lady of the Si family covered her heart, feeling suddenly uneasy. She simply stretched out her hand to hold Aunt Yu, "Mingshu, all of you come over and wait here with me. Mingrui, don't go back to the house to make arrangements. Fang Yun, ask the Si family’s guards to go to the Gu family.”
