Blood from Daming

Chapter 48 Thoughts
When Xue Yun was about to return to the city, Xue Wu went to Xue Zhuang. Xue Wu talked about the situation in the south. The local government was not very cooperative. Dao is ready to clean up the unstable factors.

Local officials, nobles, gentry, and landlords were very resistant to the arrival of the Xue family's army, thinking that Xue Aoren's arrival had broken the balance between them and caused damage to their interests, and the surrounding people did not dare to sell things to the army. .

Most of the soldiers who went out in the first few days were injured and robbed.Later, it developed to the point where the local people blatantly robbed ten carts of grain and grass under Wang Qianzong, as well as the weapons and dozens of pieces of armor of the sergeants accompanying the cart, and wounded more than a dozen soldiers.

Xue Yun took Xue Wuyi to Qi Bo to get 2000 taels of gold. Before leaving, Xue Wu told Xue Er to lead his team well, recruit more soldiers as appropriate, and strengthen the connection between Nanzhili and Beijing City. Zhuang formed a system to lay the foundation for future logistics and freight transportation, and looked for opportunities to severely attack the local evil forces against the government and army, gain a firm foothold in Nanzhili, and open up the land golden channel from Nanzhili to Beijing.

When Xue Yun returned to Xue Mansion, he avoided going to his small courtyard. Ever since he knew that Xue Yun had taken in a concubine, the four of them were indifferent to Xue Yun's solidarity. Some sarcastic remarks.

Xue Yun is very troublesome, the young master wants you, but you are not willing, and you are not allowed to be nice to other women, what are you mine, you are just girls, treat these women better, they will put on airs, and they will not come down. .

When Xue Yun returned to the capital, Dongchang sent someone to invite the factory owner to see Xue Yun. Xue Yun was alone in the flower pavilion at the second gate. The servants were obviously more in awe when they saw him these days. Xue Yun thought about seeing the factory tomorrow. For business affairs, I accidentally found a woman who was taking care of the dead flowers outside the pavilion very familiar, so I asked to come in and take a look, only to find out that it was Mei Xiang.

Xue Yun asked: "Who has arranged for you to do odd jobs?"

Mei Xiang stood there with tears in her eyes without saying a word, "Sister Mei Xiang, do you love me?" Xue Yun was very sad. When he was young, he had been left out in the cold and insisted on returning to Xue's mansion. It was Mei Xiang who treated him best in the second room. People care about him, and sometimes leave him food and talk to him, and then gradually alienate him when he gets older. I have an inexplicable nostalgia for Mei Xiang in my haze, this is the so-called first love.

Xue Yun said softly to Mei Xiang: "You can tell me what you want, and I will try my best to do it for you."

Mei Xiang bit her lip to keep the tears from streaming down, "Why don't you go to my Xiaoxue Mansion."

Mei Xiang knelt down all of a sudden: "Master, please bypass Er Niang." After Mei Xiang finished saying this, she began to cry somewhere.

Xue Yunli didn't say anything for a long time, he wanted to help Mei Xiang to get rid of the emotional pressure, but he didn't want to put a bigger burden on himself, "Sister Mei Xiang, I'm sorry." He couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it. Niang must pay the price for her actions, which is related to the honor of the Xue family.

Xue Yun left but Xue Yun's was left here instead. Mei Xiang was very kind and this was Xue Yun's saddest thing. He met Mao's old butler Xue Yun and asked him to take care of Mei Xiang and let Mei Xiang go to Xiao Xue's residence if possible.

The old housekeeper Mao told Xue Yun: The mother and daughter who came home to recuperate want to see him once.Xue Yun asked what was the matter, but the old butler Mao said that Dakai was because he recovered from his illness, so he should say goodbye to him.

Xue Yun finally went to see the mother and daughter. The mother and daughter thanked Xue Yun for taking care of them during this time, and asked whether they wanted the Xue family to find a job in the capital. Xue Yun thought they It was about leaving Xue's house. He looked at the two women and asked, "What will you do?"

The mother said, "I know how to do the accounts. My family used to be in the fur business."

Xue Yun took a closer look at the woman. The woman was very pale after a long illness, but she was masculine, no more delicate than the southern women. If she could take care of her body and restore her full complexion, she would definitely have a masculine and heroic spirit from northern women. beauty of.

Xue Yun said with a smile: "So it's a head of the family, but it's not easy for a woman to find a job, and she needs a middleman as a guarantee, so I don't know much about your situation."

The woman stated: her name is Ni Hongshuang and her husband's family name is Lin. Liaodong was invaded by Tartars, and the Lin family's property was lost. Her husband was killed by rebels. She fled to the customs with a few relatives and friends, and was robbed by the officers and soldiers in the Shanhaiguan area. The belongings, the refugees who entered the customs together were killed and injured, the little girl Ni Hongshuang brought her daughter, and the housekeeper fell ill when they arrived in Beijing with a large number of refugees.

Xue Yun said: "You might as well stay here for a few more days and take a good rest."

Ni Hongshuang said in embarrassment: "I have no relatives and no reason to eat and live here for a long time, and I feel uneasy."

Xue Yun: "I have another mansion that lacks an accountant. Sister Ni might as well give it a try. If it doesn't work out, I'll try to arrange other affairs for you." Ni Hongshuang promised to do it first and said.

On the second day, Xue Yun came to the East Factory, entered the secret room, and met Wei Zhongxian, the admiral of the factory, the East Factory. This time, Wei Zhongxian's attitude was much better, and he ordered someone to bring a chair for Xue Yun. Xue Yun sat down and listened to Wei Zhongxian's speech.

It turns out that since the case of Gu Zhengnan involved many people, dozens of people were arrested and interrogated, the officials of the imperial court panicked, and everyone jointly promoted the capital censor Zhao Nanxing, and the deputy capital censor Yang Lianshu impeached Wei Zhongxian and listed him for persecuting courtiers, A total of 24 crimes such as persecuting eunuchs, persecuting concubines, raising internal soldiers, and Luo Zhi prison case formally triggered the struggle between the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party.

Wei Zhongxian obtained a secret report from Dongchang: The officials involved in Gu Zhengnan's imprisonment were found to have millions of dollars in family assets, and there are many related officials, especially in Jiangnan, Jingshi, and Shanxi.

Datong deputy commander Yang Qing is an important channel for these officials to smuggle supplies and collude with slaves. Wei Zhongxian ordered the inner palace to send imperial eunuchs to condolences to Datong officers and soldiers. It can be done cheaply when necessary.

The convoy of imperial eunuchs dispatched by the Inner Palace has set off today. A group of sergeants and nearly a thousand civilian husbands are slowly heading towards Shanxi.Originally, it was Dongchang who organized the manpower, but when Wei Zhongxian saw Xue Yun changed his mind, Xu Xueyun had the right to recruit a hundred entourage to act on behalf of Dongchang.

Xue Yun hurried back home and told his grandfather Xue Rui about it. Xue Rui lamented that the trip was too risky and irresistible.

Zhang Shanfu was tortured under Xue Yun's powerful iron and blood attack. More than a dozen types of criminal weapons were used in battle, making Zhang Shanfu unable to survive or die. He regretted coming to this world. The things he explained were not of high value. The information obtained through the confessions of the seven people is basically the same.

Zhang Shanfu used various means to get about 50 to 3 yuan from Xue's house, most of which was spent on gambling and squandering. This time, he spent nearly [-] yuan on Gu Zhengnan to deal with Xue's family, trying to bring down Xue's family and conspire to seize Xue's family. He revealed some people and things that were hostile to the Xue family, and finally even revealed that there were hundreds of acres of land in his hometown in Henan, and that [-] taels of gold and silver were buried under the old house.

Xue Yun told Xue Rui all these situations, and Xue Rui said that he would send someone to deal with the affairs in Henan. For Zhang Shanfu, Xue Rui sent Yang Zhenlei, and Li Xiaoyong led people to take Zhang Shanfu's family of eight under the pretext of sending his slaves out of the city to Zhuangzi. Go to Xuezhuang and kill him to express the resentment in his heart.

This time Xue Yun went to Shanxi Datong with Xue Liu, Lu Yaojin with 15 people, Yang Zhenlei and Li Xiaoyong with 15 people, a total of 35 people. They are all good at horseback riding and archery. Zhang Gonggong's people met outside the city and set off for Datong.

It was late at night and Xue Yun was sitting in the Jiangnan water pavilion in Xiao Xue's mansion. He was very excited and anxious thinking about going to war tomorrow. After all, this was Xue Yun's first time going to a place thousands of miles away.

He was eager to vent his emotions in the excitement, and always felt that he needed something. Xue Yun sat in the flower garden until dawn, still without a trace of sleepiness. When he saw the hazy figure appearing in the water pavilion, Xue Yun finally Know what you've been waiting for.

Thousands of miles away, the bloody battlefield of the golden and iron horse burst out from his body with a strong impulse.He walked towards the hazy figure quickly, a quiet breath only made Xue Yun sober up a little, and immediately filled with strong possessive desire, he hugged the woman.

He and the woman fell down among the flowers. The woman's weak resistance aroused Xue Yun's lust even more. He needed a woman to calm his mood so much. He attacked like a fierce general on the battlefield, and the prey under him let out painful groans. Moaning, he was constantly consuming his energy, his spirit gradually recovered, and the endless pleasure sent him to the clouds. After a long, long time, he finally calmed down his mind. When his thoughts returned to reality , the Yi people around him have vanished away.
