Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 322 Hematemesis
Ning Wan was originally a smart person, after she married into the Lu family, she also quietly inquired about it, and then she had a general idea of ​​the Lu family's past.At this time, he said to Wu Liangshang: "It seems that Commander Zhou's sister may have had a secret relationship with the father-in-law, and then misrepresented the news of the mother-in-law's remarriage, so that the father-in-law stopped his wife and remarried. I think the second master Wu should be caught. In fact, if it wasn’t for my mother-in-law’s indisputability, and Tie Shi’s willingness to ask for his father-in-law’s attack, even if we don’t use those excuses, we can still win if we sue the government. That’s why I don’t want to listen to Wu Erye. I tell the secret."

After Wu Liangshang heard this, he smiled wryly, "You don't need to talk about my son, but I already knew about it, and I even know more about it."

"Before your father-in-law sent someone to the old house to pick up your mother-in-law, someone came here first. I gave money to your mother-in-law's cousin and asked them to send your mother-in-law to Aunt Wu's house first, and locked the old house. Come out and tell people that your mother-in-law has remarried. Most people in the Wu family know about this, even your mother-in-law knows vaguely."

Ning Wan used to think that the Zhou family sent people to the old house, and when her mother-in-law happened to be out on something, she went back and lied about the news without asking. It's a pity that I entertained them with all my heart when I was married, they are really a bunch of wolves!"

It was Wu grain merchant's uncle who scolded him, but he didn't argue now, he just said: "Now that they have passed away long ago, Madam can't be angry anymore. Besides, none of their descendants are promising, so it can be regarded as retribution. "But he told Ning Wan, "It's the Zhou family. Although we couldn't find out the details, my son found the midwife who delivered Mrs. Zhou's delivery. According to the midwife, the baby was a The child of the full moon, because it is the Xiao family of Commander Zhou, she remembers it very clearly, but she has never dared to say it."

After all, it was a matter of public and private morality. Ning Wan couldn't say anything after hearing it, but asked instead: "Since Uncle Wu already knows, why did you ask me again?"

"Although this is considered a secret, my son is definitely not talking about this matter." Wu Liangshang said, "If this matter is found out, the witnesses and material evidence from that year have long been gone. How about Commander Zhou? How could he hate me like that and kill my son whenever he had the chance?"

"It also makes sense," but Ning Wan thought again, "Second Master Wu intervened in Anpingwei's military supplies after he came back from the capital. Did he have a business dispute with Commander Zhou? That's when I started to kill."

"Although my son is not good, I know his temperament. As long as it is what he wants to do, he has always been very generous. He will never treat Commander Zhou badly with money. Besides, he once told me that he was good at military supplies. Most of the profit was given to the commander's mansion, and Commander Zhou has no reason to kill him."

Ning Wan is someone who has dealt with Wu Er before, and she feels that his behavior is really uncomfortable. When he competed with his family for business, she hated him so much, and Ning Qing and Liu Wulang often said Want to kill him with a knife.It's just that it's not easy for her to tell Wu Erye's own father, after all, every parent feels that their child is not that bad.So he shook his head and said, "I don't know anything else, so please ask Uncle Wu to inquire about others, or maybe there are other things that I don't know."

Wu Liangshang has been rushing around for a month since he got the news, so he has determined that the cause of Wu Er's death is related to the old affairs of the Lu family, and asked Ning Wan, "Did you hear that your family or the Zhou family has an illegitimate child?"

"I don't know about the Zhou family, but there are only a few members in the Lu family, and I've never heard of anyone having an illegitimate child." Even Lu Tiecheng, at best, can barely be considered a child of adultery, far from an illegitimate child.Ning Wan only thought that it was abnormal for Wu grain merchant to send a black-haired man for a white-haired man, so she persuaded again, "I naturally understand Uncle Wu's desire to seek justice for his son, but just relying on Commander Zhou to kill people without reason You can sue him, and you don’t have to dig into a dead end.”

"The Zhou family is very powerful. Now that the murder of the state official has not been imprisoned, what is the life of a businessman like us? I must find out the Zhou family's handle and let him pay for my son's life! Besides, my son The business has been doing well in the past few years, and he left 10 taels of silver. He has no life, I want to spend all the money on him, and I must investigate and find out!" Then he stood up and cupped his hands: "Since Mrs. Lu doesn't know , I also want to ask Mrs. Lu about introducing me to the old commander Lu, I want to ask him about the past in person."

Ning Wan was taken aback. It's no wonder that Anpingwei was called Second Master Wu, and Wu Er actually earned so much money in just a few years!But, just like what his father said, what's the use of money if you earn it?Seeing the crazy light in Wu Liangshang's eyes, Ning Wan hurriedly waved her hands, "My father-in-law suffered several arrow wounds while defending the city, and he is resting now. The doctor said that he can't move for a hundred days, and he can't get angry in a hurry. Thank you behind closed doors now."

Wu Liangshang said, "I only ask about the past, and I won't disturb the old man to recuperate."

Now, not only do the family members not dare to talk about outside affairs in front of the father-in-law, they don't even mention the names of mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, Lu Tiecheng, etc., just to let him heal his wounds calmly.Now Ning Wan would not let him disturb her father-in-law, so she resolutely said: "At present, no matter what, if the father-in-law is fine in a few months, I can help Uncle Wu ask him in front of the old man. If the father-in-law wants to see you, I will Let me introduce you again."

Wu grain merchant said: "I will donate another two thousand shi of grain to you!"

"It's not about how much you donate," Ning Wan still refused, "I don't even want the thousand shi of grain from before. After all, the donation must come from the heart. In the future, when Uncle Wu is in a better mood, then we will talk about donations." It's something." Saying that, he saw off the guests.Talking to Tie Shi at night, Ning Wan only picked a few words, and said: "According to Uncle Wu, Commander Zhou has a strong family, so I'm afraid it may not be able to do anything this time.

It just so happened that Tieshi also had news to tell her, "Uncle Wu is right. The official document from the capital has arrived. Commander Zhou really only removed the post of Commander Shi, but nothing else. He assisted the commander in defending the city, causing the west city wall to collapse, and his death is not a pity, whether there is a feeling of communication with barbarians will be judged by the Dali Temple; as for Wu Er's death, it was also because of disrupting military supplies, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and he will not be held accountable."

"It turned out to be like this." Ning Wan muttered, and then asked, "What about Commander Sun?"

"He was dismissed from the hereditary military position and demoted to a military household." Tie Shi smiled again and said: "Daughter-in-law, you are now the wife of the deputy commander of the third rank, and you will be rewarded with the imperial title immediately."

Slaying Harlang with iron and stone, keeping the two cities of Anping and Hutai, and being promoted to a third-rank commander is nothing, Ning Wan realized: "I am afraid that the emperor thinks that it is not good to promote you to a fourth-rank commander all at once, so I will give you a higher level of command." A deputy commander was set up in Anpingwei, and then I was rewarded with an imperial order to balance it out."

Qian Shi laughed, "Look at what you said, it seems that imperial appointments are also bargained like business."

"Although it's hard to say that, the truth is the same!" Ning Wan actually didn't understand the important affairs of the court, but she felt that everything was reasonable, "Either Anping Guard didn't have a deputy commander in the past, but now there is one? You are in charge of Anpingwei, and you have some leeway, and when you make new achievements in the future, you will be promoted to commander!"

Tie Shi nodded when he heard it, "It really makes sense." But he was very happy, "I originally wanted to ask for an imperial order for you, but now the imperial court has thought of it for us in advance, and it is also considerate."

"Maybe it was Big Brother Luo's idea. Now we have someone in the court who is easy to be an official."

Tieshi agreed, "Not bad, not bad."

For Lu Tieshi's promotion to three levels in a row, naturally many people are envious, even secretly jealous, but most of them are still convinced and happy.There was a constant flow of people who came to celebrate, and some people clamored for her to treat guests with wine, but Ning Wan refused them one by one, "There are still many unfinished things in Anpingwei's defense, and Tieshi has been very busy; besides, the fair Healing his wounds, the family can't stand the noise, and I will definitely invite everyone when I have a chance in the future." I only invited a few wives who worked together outside to be a host.

Everyone should obey the imperial court's will, but people close to each other will always discuss it quietly. Several wives of the generals said: "Zhizhou died in vain, and Mrs. Zhizhou also left Liaodong in despair. Below Mrs. Zhou, the arrogance of those wives of civil officials has gone down. They only value civil officials and despise military officials in the court, but they don’t think that they still rely on military officials when wars break out! When defending the city, instead of assisting the military officials, the civil officials added to the chaos and died. Death is useless! Not charging them with the crime of being a barbarian is already taking advantage of them!"

Commander Zhou's killing of Zhizhou, the imperial court did favor military officials, but everyone said: "If the imperial court does not do this, how can it comfort our military officers in the border towns? When defending the city, we have to fight with civilian officials. Can the battle be won?"

"That's the reason. It's fine for civil servants to fight for power on weekdays. If they still want to make trouble in wartime, they are definitely asking for their own death."

Mrs. Lu commented again: "However, this time, it must be attributed to Commander Zhou's great backing in the capital, so this result can be achieved."

Everyone also agreed, "The backing of the Zhou family is really strong. Anpingwei was finally determined to have not broken the city, so Commander Zhou was only charged with the crime of ineffective defense of the city, and even survived the attack. Now he hides his strength for a few years, or Come back, or let the eldest son take over the post, and he can still get the position of the third-rank commander, which is no different than the Sun family, which has been reduced to a military household."

At the end, everyone still came to congratulate Ning Wan, "Now your lord has not only been promoted to three levels, but also your reputation has spread everywhere. The court has already experienced the head of Harlan, and you are now passing on the first nine sides." Everyone gets along, Mrs. Lu is only the wife of a fifth-rank official, and now she has immediately become the wife of a third-rank official, and the imperial seal has also come to the border town, overwhelming everyone.

Ning Wan just laughed, "I still need everyone's help!"

Now Tie Shi has officially taken over Anpingwei, and his identity is different. Even Ning Wan and these ladies are doing things smoothly. There are always good-sighted merchants who donate money and goods on their own initiative, and the soldiers are comforted and their morale is boosted. vibration.Because of the stability in the city, Anpingwei swept away the previous slump, the businesses reopened, the sound of reading was heard in the school, and even the teahouses and restaurants gradually became more crowded.

After the fifteenth day, Tieshi resisted all opinions and still opened the city gate to celebrate the Lantern Festival. He and his wife entertained the guests at the largest restaurant in Anpingwei, and then took the lead in admiring the lanterns. The city was filled with fiery trees and silver flowers. .

The two returned home in the middle of the night and saw that the light was still on in the father-in-law's room, so they went to have a look and saw that the father-in-law was alone sitting at the table with a sullen face. The writing paper is no longer there.Ning Wan stepped forward and saluted and asked with a smile: "The doctor said that the father-in-law should take care of it, why are you writing again?"

Tie Shi also said: "If you have anything to do, just ask me to do it."

The father-in-law raised his eyes to look at them, waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, it's all small things."

Ning Wan touched the tea on the table again, it was already cold, so she went out to ask for hot water, but seeing that there was no one in the west courtyard, she felt a little annoyed, before she went out, she clearly told the family to keep someone with her father-in-law.

At this moment, Aunt Fei entered the yard from the corner door with a smile on her face. When she saw Ning Wan, she quickly stopped her smile and asked, "Madam, what orders do you have?"

Ning Wan asked, "Where did you go? Why is there no one in front of your father-in-law? The tea is also cold?"

Aunt Fei said: "Today it's my turn to serve the master, so I didn't go when they were watching the lights. I saw that all the girls and women in the yard couldn't sit still. They couldn't wait to go out and play, so I let them go. Originally, I I have been by the master's side all the time, and a fellow countryman happened to come to see me, so I said a few words at the corner gate, and I was about to come back to make tea."

Seeing that what she said was quite reasonable, Ning Wan said, "Then quickly make tea and send it to Eunuch. Besides, Eunuch is injured after all, so it's better to keep someone by your side."

Aunt Fei agreed again and again, made tea and served it.They sat for a while, and saw that the father-in-law didn't talk much, and they just quit when he was tired.

Ning Wan and Tie Shi went back to the house and changed their big clothes when someone knocked on the door.Tie Shi went forward to open the door in three steps and two steps, and saw Baolu standing in front of the door, trembling all over, with a snow-white face, teeth chattering, and reluctantly said: "Mother and I came back and saw Dad lying on the kang, vomiting. There was a lot of blood!"
