Blood from Daming

Chapter 741 Dowry
Xue Wu still arranged a very good lunch. Xue Yun, Xue Si, Xue Wu, Mr. Hong, and Hong Jieyi had a meal together. It could be seen that Hong Jieyi was very favored in Hongjiazhai. He is more self-willed in doing things and speaking, and there is no defense between men and women. This is another tomboy cultivated in a cottage.

After the meal, Hong Jieyi wanted to chat with Xue Yun, but was forcibly taken away by Mr. Hong. That night, Mr. Hong and Hong Jieyi lived in Xue Wu's barracks; When discussing matters in the tent, the first thing they talked about was the Xuejiazhai where Xue Yun's nominal father was.

Although the current Xuejiazhai is Xue Aoren's head, but since Xue Bo came back to Xuejiazhai from Liaodong, he suddenly became very arrogant, as if he had acquired murderous intent from the Tartars. A group of soldiers seem to have become the overlords of the Xue family's army. Coupled with Xue Aoren's connivance, Xue Bo completely pays attention to the older generation of Wang Jianping and Wan Decai. .

Xue Yunxin said it was strange, this Xue Bin was a pile of shit in Liaodong, how could he be coaxed when he returned to the customs so shamelessly, Xue Yun asked, "Fifth brother, what did the second child do to us."

Xue Wu said: "Young master, when Xue Bo came back, he had no soldiers. He asked for a hundred soldiers from the master. The other four or five hundred soldiers were all dug from Wang Jianping and Wan Decai. They have been recruited since September. Intercepted and robbed the property we were transporting to Xuezhuang. As of November 22th the day before yesterday, Xue Bo robbed 800 times, a total of 4000 times, and took away [-] carts worth [-] taels of silver. It should be worth more than [-] taels of silver."

After hearing this, Xue Yun said angrily: "Xue Wu, how could such a thing happen? Are the knives in your hands for cutting vegetables?"

Xue Si quickly said: "Young master, I don't blame Xue Wu at this time, I disagree with Xue Wu and the others, but I have already asked Xue Wu to suspend the payment of the salary to Xue's family village, so the master must come out and give an explanation on this matter. "

Xue Yun asked: "Fourth Uncle, how many troops does Xue Aoren have now?"

Xue Si and Xue Wuyi were taken aback when they heard that Xue Yun called his father's name directly, the young master was confused, but if Xue Bo was beaten up by this attitude, if Xue Aoren felt unconvinced, the young master would definitely fight with his father, In this way, the two don't have to be caught between their father and son.

Xue Wu hurriedly replied: "Master, it's about three thousand. Originally, Wang Jianping and Wan Decai each had 1000 people, and the master almost had 1000 people. But after Xue Bo returned to Xuejiazhai, it became the master, Xue Bo, Wang Jianping, Wan De only had four teams, Xue Bo put together a slightly smaller team, but they were extremely arrogant.

Xue Yun said: "Xue Aoren is already the deputy commander in chief, why hasn't the number of troops increased at all?"

Xue Wu said: "Young master, although the master has been promoted, the military salary has been reduced by 500 people. It is said that the [-] military salary was specially approved by Mr. Li, the servant of the Ministry of War. Because the military salary in Liaodong is tight, it has been cancelled. After passing the Ministry of War, it was said that the Xue family army had [-] troops in Liaodong. It stands to reason that the Xue family village should not pay soldiers. It's an idea to play our transport team with one dark and one light."

Xue Yun said: "Isn't the Ministry of War bullying people? The Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers can get food wherever they go. All the troops have gone to Liaodong to fight. They have Mao's relationship with Xuejiazhai, but this can't be Xue Aoren. An excuse for the father and son to hit our transport team idea."

Xue Si said: "Master, what's more, it's the owner who used the money of the young master to pay for the casualties of the Liaodong soldiers. Now Xue Qingyi's various supplements for less than 2000 people are all collected by the owner in various shops. Not including the various needs of Xue Zong's troops."

Xue Yun said: "Fourth Uncle, my nephew knows about this matter, everything is according to Grandpa's wishes, it is nothing to make a little contribution to the Xue family warriors in Liaodong, but Xue Bo, who can't chew green hills and soaked wood, ran to his family You must not get used to the domineering temper in front of you, and Xue Bo's prestige must be suppressed."

In the evening, Xue Yun helped Xue Si break through the level. Xue Si did not expect such a good thing to come to see the young master. He had been looking forward to breaking through the fifth level of the Plum Blossom Divine Art for a long time. With the help of Xue Yun that night, he finally succeeded in breaking through the level. The test was successful, but Xue Si's quadruple plum blossom magical skill had just passed eight points. Xue Yun insisted on raising the skill with Xue Si, which annoyed Xue Yun at once. After being exhausted, he circulated his true energy in the tent for a week, then fell asleep on the Persian blanket.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Xue Yun was woken up by Wang Erwa. Except for Wang Erwa, Xue Si and Xue Wu were all there. Xue Yun thought that Xue Si and Xue Wu were not going to see off Mr. Hong and Hong Yiyi. People, I said that I want to take a good rest for a day, and the three of them hurriedly shouted that something serious happened to them.

Before Xue Yun opened his mouth to ask questions, Xue Sixian said: "Young Master, my subordinates have sent away Mr. Hong's family. As soon as they returned to the barracks, Xue Bo's led hundreds of people to chase him down."

Xue Yun asked: "Fourth Uncle, why did Xue Bo go after Mr. Hong?"

Xue Si said: "Oh, young master, I'm afraid Xue Bo has taken a fancy to our betrothal gift to Miss Hong."

Xue Yun asked: "The dowry, how many dowries are there?"

Xue Si said: "Master, everything has been prepared in advance, fifty carriages and one hundred horses, two boxes of pearls, gemstones, coral, gold, jade, emerald heads and Zhu ornaments, two boxes of silver, ten pieces of sable hair, cloth, silk and satin. carts, [-] carts of miscellaneous utensils and daily necessities of various kinds, and a batch of tea, salt, refined copper and iron.”

Xue Yun was startled and said, "Fourth Uncle, is this a princess or a queen?"

Xue Si said: "Young master, except for gold, silver, jewelry and various furs, everything else is a favor. If you don't give it to the Hong family village this time, maybe we will send it over next time."

Xue Yunxin said that this is all the matter, Hongjiazhai is eating his big family, but he still has a little conscience, and sent out his darling. By the way, this batch of goods is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. No wonder Xue Bo That guy's eyes were red, but this time he met him, if Xue Bo knew that the word Xue would not save his life.

Xue Yun said: "You come to ask me why, Xue Bo's idea of ​​taking Miss Hong's property, just do it to death."

Xue Si said: "Young master, Xue Bo usually doesn't hurt people, so how can the master explain it like that."

Xue Yun said: "All of Erwa's own soldiers are dispatched. As long as Xue Bo starts to rob, I will immediately kill this young master regardless of life or death."

Wang Erwa turned around and ran out of the tent, Xue Wu was also about to leave the tent, Xue Yun called to stop Xue Wu, and then said to Xue Si and Xue Wu: "It's fine for Erwa to go, you don't want to show up, don't be Xue Aoren in the future It's my father, you can do whatever you want without worrying about it."

Xue Wu said: "Young master, I'm afraid the number of people under Erwa's lead is a little less, so the subordinates should go down to meet them."

Xue Yun thought for a while and said, "Okay, fifth brother, go and support Erwa, and don't help unless it is absolutely necessary."

After Xue Yun let Xue Wu go, he stopped Xue Si and said, "Fourth Uncle, what is going on with Xue Aoren."

Xue Si sighed and said: "Young master, our Cangzhou camp has been subsidizing the food and salaries of a thousand officers and soldiers in Xuejiazhai. Ah, how can we ask our Xue family army to provide food and salaries, but Xue Bo stared at our transport convoy to snatch it, and his subordinates also thought about attacking Xue Bo and his gang, but Xue Bo would grab it if he could Run away if you can't grab it, and you don't have to kill someone, thinking of the master and the master, so the subordinates really can't do anything cruel to Xue Bo."

Xue Yun scolded: "You son of a bitch, you're really cunning."

Xue Si said: "Young Master, Xue Aoren is just hiding from showing up. He is really in a hurry. Xue Aoren belongs to his son anyway, so let's borrow it first and use it. Father and son will discuss it in the future, so we servants don't worry about it. "

Xue Yun said: "Old bastard, don't pay attention to him in the future, and don't give the 1000 people's food and salary. In short, Xue Aoren's matter has nothing to do with Xue Yun."

Xue Si knew that Xue Aoren and Xue Yun did not deal with each other in the past, and the relationship between father and son has been up and down in recent years. The other two incompetent sons, Xue Bin and Xue Bo, are especially doted on, allowing them to do anything wrong. Xue Yun, Xue Bin, and Xue Bo are all his sons, but why is there such a big difference between Xue Aolao and Xue Yun compared to Xue Bin and Xue Bo.

Xue Si didn't quite understand, but he still agreed. Xue Yun asked, "Fourth Uncle, didn't you keep telling you to give up Xue Zhuang? Why are you still thinking about it and refusing to leave?"

Xue Si said: "Master, there are so many industries and businesses in the capital, and we still need to inquire about the court's information. The Xue family is really in danger, and we can leave no matter how long we go."
