Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 345 The Lord of Aye City

There was silence in the room.

The person in charge swallowed his saliva lightly, and continued: "The little one also went to inquire. I heard that the fur shop of the Liu family has imported a lot of goods from Aye City over the years. The owner of Aye City is The half-brother of King Nanyuan, Yeluqi."

Xie Jue frowned slightly, and tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair.

Aye City is the border town of the Rong people opposite Fengcheng, with Song Kingdom to the south, mountains to the east, Moer Grassland known as Thousand Lakes to the north, and the endless Barr Grassland to the west.

The location is excellent.

Like Wucheng, it is also on the main road of traffic.

For the Rong people, it is an extremely important city.

The lord of the city has always been a confidant among the confidantes of the King of the South Courtyard.

However, the customs of the Rong people are very different from those of the Song people. The custom of the Rong people is that power, status and family wealth will be passed on to the most powerful brother among brothers, and the rest of the brothers can only get a very small part of the property. The competition between them is far more tragic than that of Song people, even if they are of the same father and mother, they have been competing and guarding against each other since childhood.

Let alone a half-brother?
"When did he become the city lord?" After pondering for a while, Xie Jue asked.

"Ten years ago." The steward replied.

Xie Jue nodded slightly and said, "Send someone to Aye City."

"Yes." The manager responded, seeing that Xie Jue didn't say anything else, he saluted and left first.

Xie Jue raised his jaw slightly towards the person standing on the right.

The man stepped forward and said: "The Shui family was originally a squire in Jinzhou City. Earlier, there were thousands of acres of fertile land in the family, and there were two shops in the city for rent. 16 years ago, Duke Zhen Guo came to Jinzhou to recruit soldiers. married the daughter of the Shui family with a dowry of [-] guan, and the Shui family prepared a dowry of [-] guan for Miss Shui."

"Wanguan betrothal gift?" Xie Jue snorted softly.

As a Duke of Zhen to marry a wife, such a small amount of money is not enough. Back then, Duke Zhen married Concubine Wu's sister, it is said that she prepared a dowry gift of [-] guan.

But as a Jinzhou squire, this is a huge sum of money!

And the other party is the Duke of Zhen, but the Shui family only returned [-] dowry...

"Yes." His subordinates replied: "The rest of the money, the old man Shui originally bought the land, but ten years ago, because of his naughty grandson, the old man Shui was knocked down and became half paralyzed. The uncle has been the master of the family, and within a few years, not only the tens of thousands of dowry gifts have been lost, but even the original land of the family has been sold to only a hundred acres. The parents were locked up in the thatched hut next to the warehouse of their own house, and they were not moved back to the main room until Mrs. Zhen Guogong came back. If you have a stroke, you can’t speak directly.”

"So vicious..." Xie Jue's face changed slightly, and he cursed bitterly.

His subordinates also showed some emotion on their faces.

It took him a few days to extract these secrets from an old servant of the Shui family, and he was surprised when he heard them for the first time.

However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.

With a wry smile, his subordinates continued: "Also, after Mrs. Zhen Guogong returned to the mansion, she saw that her parents were so strange, she didn't have any doubts, she just saw them once and left. These days, she hasn't seen her parents again. I didn't even ask, I just urged Master Shui to send a letter to the border town."

"Send a letter?" Xie Jue smiled coldly when he remembered the words left by Mrs. Guogong in Dewanglou Town.

I just don't know what that Shui girl thought when the word "send a letter" came out?
"Yes, originally the Shui family was waiting for the prince of Zhen Guogong to come, and even let the word out, saying that his nephew is coming soon, so that those who are disobedient should be careful." The voice of the subordinates paused: "Still There was County Magistrate Wu, and the Shui family specially sent servants to warn him, but the concubine of County Magistrate Wu beat him out."

"Oh?" Xie Jue suddenly became interested: "The concubine's room is so tough?"

"The magistrate of County Wu brought a whole family from his hometown, and he was straightforward. When his subordinates asked curious questions, the old man immediately answered." A smile appeared on his subordinate's face unconsciously: "He said, That concubine was originally the daughter of a bodyguard head of a bodyguard agency in Dai County, and she knew some kung fu. She used to walk through bodyguards with her father, but she was unlucky. Three fiances died in a row. She didn't get married until she was in her 20s. Later, the wife of the county magistrate of Wu went out in danger and was rescued by this woman, so she took the initiative to persuade her to become the magistrate's concubine. Righting."

While talking, the subordinate sneaked away to Xie Jue.

In the past, Xie Jue would never listen patiently to such gossip.

"And then?" Xie Jue asked interestingly.

He is not interested in these things, but Su Yue likes to listen!
I don't understand how Su Yue and Shi Hongpiao can talk for an hour, he deliberately eavesdropped outside the window.

What Shi Hongpiao was talking about was such nonsense. The hunter in the next village disappeared as soon as he went up the mountain. Everyone thought he was eaten by a tiger, but he ran away with his wife from another village...

There is also the head of the village and the end of the village, where the owner and the family are short, Su Yue heard it with great interest, and kept urging Shi Hongpiao to continue.

It is much more exciting and joyful than listening to him talk about how much money he made and how he killed his opponent!
So, he should also listen to this kind of thing more, and go back to Su Yue later and tell Su Yue, how can someone else do this kind of thing that makes her face shine and her eyes shine!
The look on Xie Jue's face made everyone in the room tremble slightly.

The subordinate coughed lightly and said: "The old servant said that the wife of County Magistrate Wu is the aunt of County Magistrate Wu. She was weak when she was young. She was pregnant twice, but the child was not saved, which made her body even worse. , Seeing that she was just struggling, that time she passed out suddenly when she was out of the house, but fortunately the concubine passed by and saved her, or she would have died outside, so I wholeheartedly begged the girl to enter the Wu family."

"You asked the old servant about such things, and you said it out?" Xie Jue frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.

It is normal for the domestic servant to gossip about the concubine's room, but these things about the wife of the wife are family secrets, and no one will let people talk nonsense.

The subordinate shook his head and said: "No, after the servant of the Shui family was kicked out by the concubine's room, he cursed outside, swearing all kinds of obscenities, and the old servant was enraged, so he was tricked out by his subordinates. Come on."

Xie Jue nodded slightly, and said, "Is there someone from the Shui family to send a letter to the border town?"

"Yes." His subordinates hurriedly said: "The Shui family provides good wine and meat every day to Mrs. Zhen Guogong and the aunt, but after waiting for three days, the prince still did not come, so he asked Mrs. Zhen Guogong and asked, Zhen Guogong's wife. Mrs. Guo asked the Shui family to send a letter to the border town, saying that Zhao Hao might have gone the wrong way, and asked them to inform them."

Hearing Xie Jue let out a sneering laugh, his subordinates continued: "The person who delivered the letter has already been dealt with."

The voice paused, and the subordinate said again: "The one who attacked was a man who came back from the north. His martial arts are not weak. After killing the messenger, he went back to Jinzhou City and met the aunt outside. Afterwards, That person was about to go north, but when the subordinates saw the urgency of the matter, they decided to take that person down."

The voice paused again, and the face of the subordinate showed shame: "But..."

"But that person took advantage of your unpreparedness and committed suicide, right?" Xie Jue said softly, "That should be Tong Guan's subordinate."
