Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

With horses to travel, the speed was indeed much faster.

A journey that usually took two hours now only required half the time.

Along the way, Li Yuan kept Zhang Kui entertained with lively conversation.

Li Yuan was already talkative, and he brought over many stories from later generations to tell Zhang Kui.

This made Zhang Kui feel endlessly amazed.

He marveled at the extraordinary knowledge of this common soldier.

The journey was uneventful.

As they approached Xihe Fort, Li Yuan suddenly pulled on the reins of his black horse.

He looked at a woman walking along the roadside with her head down and called out in confusion.

"Cuiniang, why are you here?"

The woman heard someone call her name, and when she looked up, she saw Li Yuan's handsome face.

The person was indeed Cuiniang. As soon as she saw Li Yuan, she ran over.

She ran while shouting.

"Li Lang! Hurry home, something has happened to our workshop!"

Tears streamed down her face.

She quickly ran to the front of Li Yuan's horse.

She haltingly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that the root of the trouble was the money-loving clerk Gou in the village.

Ever since he forcibly exchanged Li Yuan's barren land and suffered a great loss, he had secretly harbored resentment towards Li Yuan.

He had been watching Li Yuan open a winery and workshop in the village.

At first, he didn't take it seriously.

Until one time, he saw the price of [Qingyuan Paste] in a tavern in Xihe Fort, which was actually selling for 800 coins a bottle.

This shocked him greatly.

Of course, he knew that this wine was produced by Li Yuan's winery.

But he didn't expect that the profit from this wine would be so great.

Greed instantly surged in Gou Clerk's heart.

He wanted to take this money-making winery for himself.

But he was not stupid. He knew that he certainly had no way to get the winery on his own.

However, this clerk had a relative in Xihe Fort who was a military fort commandant named Wei Lun.

This man was ruthless and had many tricks.

Moreover, he was extremely greedy. There were quite a few military households who had been ruined and destroyed by him.

Gou Clerk then found an opportunity to meet with his relative Wei Lun and have a drink.

He told his relative about what he had seen at Li Yuan's winery and the price of Qingyuan Paste in Xihe Fort.

When Wei Lun heard that Dongxiang Village actually had such a profitable business, and the owner was just a squad leader of a military household, he immediately had the idea of seizing the winery.

The two hit it off.

They even agreed that after the winery was seized, it would be managed by the clerk.

But Wei Lun would take 70% of the profits.

This afternoon, Wei Lun brought several of his men to Dongxiang Village.

He went straight to the winery without saying a word upon entering the village.

He claimed that the winery had not obtained permission from the military fort and wanted to forcibly seal it off.

His attitude was extremely arrogant.

The orphaned girls working in the winery were unwilling. If there was no winery, they would starve, so they came out to stop him.

As a result, Wei Lun and his men beat them hard with whips.

Five or six sisters were injured.

Cuiniang was one of those who were beaten.

The Chu sisters rushed over, but were also blocked by Wei Lun's men and could not enter.

The village head and the centurion also hurried to find out what was going on.

They heard that the military fort commandant was going to forcibly seal off the winery.

They did not dare to stop him.

In a moment of crisis, Cuiniang volunteered to go to the county town to find Li Yuan.

Only by finding Li Langjun and bringing him back would there be a way to deal with Wei Lun.

Hearing Cuiniang's account, Li Yuan was furious.

This Wei Lun was simply too much, this was blatant robbery.

He turned his head and said to Zhang Kui, whose face was ashen.

"Brother Zhang, something has happened to the winery at home."

"How about we go to the winery first?"

Zhang Kui was also cursing in his heart at this time.

As a member of the Left Division Guard, he was responsible for the supervision and reward and punishment of the military fort.

He really did not expect that such a scumbag as Wei Lun would appear in his jurisdiction.

This made Zhang Kui feel ashamed.

He said to Li Yuan.

"Brother Li, don't panic, I'll go with you to see this Wei Lun."

"As a military fort commandant, he actually dares to rob the private property of military households."

"I'll skin him alive."

So the two rode their horses directly to Dongxiang Village.

At this time, in the Dongxiang Village winery.

The two gates of the winery were violently destroyed.

The courtyard of the winery was littered with cups and plates.

When Wei Lun came, the female workers here were having dinner.

This was originally a scene of laughter and joy.

But at this time, the winery was filled with continuous crying.

In the courtyard of the winery.

Wei Lun was waving the whip in his hand and hitting an orphaned girl hard.

"Say, what is the recipe for brewing wine here?"

"Speak up, if you don't, I'll whip you to death, you bitch."

The female worker was beaten by him and rolled on the ground, screaming, her clothes were also whipped into a mess.

Wei Lun was not tall, had a pockmarked face, a pair of triangular eyes, fierce eyes, and a hoarse and penetrating voice.

This person was arrogant and crazy in his work, relying on the fact that his Wei family had some influence in the military fort.

Ordinary people are also unwilling to provoke him, this mad dog.

But he is not stupid either.

Before coming, he had carefully checked Li Yuan's identity, confirming that he was just the second son of an ordinary peasant craftsman.

There is no power or background in his family, so Wei Lun was relieved to do it.

The orphaned girl was beaten into a coma.

This guy wandered around the winery with a whip.

Looking at the millet rice and pickles on the dining hall, he snorted disdainfully.

"Your owner is really wasteful, actually giving you cheap embryos such good things to eat."

He pointed to the clerk and said.

"From now on, the winery will be ours, so we have to save some, just give them some rotten rice bran to eat."

"There are even pickles, it's a waste of things."

"Also, those who are lazy and slippery, just beat them to death for me."

"Anyway, your cheap lives that are about to starve to death, there are as many as you want outside."

The orphaned girls hid in the corners, listening to his harsh words, trembling with fear.

But the eyes looking at Wei Lun were full of hatred.

These poor orphaned girls finally met a good owner.

They were just able to eat a few days of full meals.

They were ruthlessly smashed by this guy.

Wei Lun saw that these women had unkind eyes, but gave a cold smile.

"You cheap embryos, are you still expecting that Li Langjun will come back to save you."

"I'm telling you, he's looking for death when he comes back."

"I am a military fort commandant, killing a cheap military household like him is like crushing an ant."

"As long as I move my finger, I can take his life."

"Even if he runs away, I won't let him go."

"If he doesn't hand over the wine recipe obediently."

"I'll burn his house and mess with his woman."

The eyes of those orphaned girls gradually became desperate.

This person was not bragging, Li Langjun's identity was just a squad leader of a military household.

And the evil person in front of him is the military fort commandant of Xihe Fort.

An official one level higher can crush people to death.

What's more, from the commandant to the squad leader is more than five levels higher.

Even if Li Langjun comes back, what can he do?

I'm afraid it's not easy to save his own life.

Thinking of this, some of the younger orphaned girls cried.

They were desperate in their hearts, why is God so unfair to them.

Why should Li Langjun, this good man, be bullied by this evil person.

Wei Lun was about to stand up and continue to beat these cheap embryos.

Continue to force the wine recipe.

Suddenly, a cold voice of a man came from behind him.

"Is my winery robbed?"

"Where did this bird come from, daring to cause trouble here."
