Jinghong Building

Chapter 361 Zhou Chi's tablets have some wonderful uses

Although the blood-stained clothes on the body were already ragged, it can still be seen that this is the best material.

The corpse's face was already **** and bloody, and he could not see his original appearance, but he only had one ear!

Duke Ding was trembling all over. He picked up the body's right hand, which was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and untied the layers of cloth strips. There were only four fingers on his right hand!

Duke Ding could no longer hold on and fell down with a bang!

In the Ran Army's tent, He Xiulong listened to the person's report and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She arranged the corpse. In fact, if Duke Ding looked carefully, he could see that the corpse's ears and fingers were all new injuries.

He Xiulong knew that this matter would be exposed sooner or later, but that doesn't matter. As long as it's shocking enough at first glance, it's enough.

Facts have proved that He Xiulong's flawless plan succeeded.

This time, Duke Ding not only fainted, he suffered a stroke!

Fortunately, Duke Ding has a good health and is rescued, but he can no longer lead troops in the near future.

Of course, after Duke Ding fell, the corpse was also confirmed to be not Jing Laosan. The ears and fingers of the corpse were cut off after death, which was inconsistent with the time when Duke Ding received his ears and fingers. .

And this corpse was found from today's battlefield, so it was obviously He Xiulong's trick!

The next day, after Duke Ding woke up, his confidants couldn't wait to report the good news.

Unfortunately, Duke Ding was not at all happy. He opened his mouth, and a shiny saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"Kill"

Who do he want to kill?

Is it He Xiulong or Zhou Cangyue?

No one knows this.

At the same time, a group of scholars gathered outside the government office. They held the statue of Confucius, held the head and raised their chests, and were generous and calm. One of the students in the head loudly condemned the Duke of Ding to his own selfish interests and was defeated without fighting. He gave in to the six counties of Anqing, and was extremely shameless!

The officials who went out to deal with it were already shocked. If he remembered correctly, the people in front of him would be the same group of people who sat here in silence a few days ago and asked Duke Ding to give the answer.

The scholar beats his chest and stamps his feet, and cries to the sky. My article is the best in the world and the capital is covered with the crown, but it is actually occupied by the beggar. It’s dirty, it’s dirty!

The bustling outside the government office is just a few. At this moment, there is only this bustling place in the entire Yangzhou City. Whether it is shops or private houses, they are all closed. This battle has been fought for several days, and the people are also at home. I've been in a few days.

But the battle has not been completed, and they cannot leave the house.

The next morning, Ranjun came to call again. This time, a tablet was hung in front of the city gate!

The tablet of Taizu Zhou Chi!

Since the Ran army was typing up the banner of King Zhao, as long as He Ran has not deposed King Zhao, if the Ran army sees Taizu Zhou Chi's tablet, it will be disrespectful to Taizu. Not only He Xiulong, but also He Ran will also be criticized by the people of the world.

He Xiulong cursed: "You are cruel, and you're on the verge of fighting today!"

Zhou Chi's tablet was hung at the city gate for several days, and He Xiulong was not in a hurry. People outside the city could not enter, and people in the city didn't come out. So it depends on who was anxious first.

At this time, He Ran had already set out for Yangzhou.

The last time she came to Yangzhou, it was fifty years ago.

That year she booked a flower boat and asked a few flower girls to accompany her to drink on the boat, which was so happy.

He Ran only brought Xiaoli and Liuxia a few others around her. She did not go to meet with He Xiulong, but went to a nearby village.

This village is more than thirty miles away from Yangzhou City.

I originally thought it was a war and it might not be easy to find someone in the village who was willing to stay, but I didn't expect that as soon as the six of them entered the village, they were surrounded by a group of aunts watching the fun.

These days, there are not many young women who can ride horses.

"Hey, you can still ride horses?"

"Are you going to the Fucheng? Unfortunately, I heard that the Fucheng started fighting."

He Ran smiled: "Yes, it's a coincidence, so we can't go to the city for the time being. My aunts, don't you know that you might be staying in the village?"

Aunts, aunts, look at me, I look at you, and then look at the girls in front of you together.

Xiaoli took out a ingot of silver: "We won't live in vain."

When they saw the silver, the aunts' eyes immediately lit up. This is silver. They have never seen such a large amount of silver. They usually handle copper coins, and occasionally there is silver.

He Ran saw the little flames beating in their eyes, and thought that the next moment, they would rush to report themselves and invite them to stay at home.

But He Ran was wrong. The aunts and ladies looked at the silver ingot, but sighed at the same time.

Finally, an aunt couldn't help but say, "Girls, it's not that we refuse to entertain you, but that Li Zhengye has advised that the village cannot receive outsiders, even relatives, not to do so."

He Ran understood: "So that's the case, then I won't bother everyone, say goodbye."

After saying that, she waved her hand and several people held the horse and wanted to leave the village.

The aunt felt as uncomfortable as if she had been cut off when she saw them leaving.

"Wait, my family has a house outside the village. If you don't dislike me, I'll take you there."

Hearing this, the other aunts rolled their eyes at her, but it was obvious that she had a house outside the village.

It turned out that my aunt's family had a fight with the villagers a few years ago and was driven out of the village. In desperation, she built a house on a wasteland not far from the village, and the whole family lived here.

This year is not peaceful, and the war is in chaos. Living there is definitely not as safe as returning to the village. So the aunt's family found Li Zheng, said all the good things, and paid another ten taels of silver. Then they moved back to the village again, and the house was vacant.

Although this house has not been living in for many days, the house is not dirty and can be lived in a little tidy.

But the bedding was removed, and only two old beds were left.

Xiaoli looked around and said to He Ran, "There are firewood in the yard, and the clay pots in the stove, so you can cook."

The aunt hurriedly said, "You are willing to pay money, so I will go back to the village to move the bedding and get you some rice, flour and vegetables."

He Ran smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll have a lot of luck."

The aunt smiled and ran away. When she came back, she brought two young women with her. Both of them were dressed as women. They were pushing a wheelbarrow with several bedding and rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables on the car.

Xiaoli was very generous and paid the money in advance. The aunt was worried that they would live far away, so she ran away tomorrow morning without paying money. Now that the money has been obtained, the aunt has relieved her and her tone is more friendly, making the two young people who came with her. The woman went to help clean the house, but she sat down without hesitation and started talking to He Ran.

Only then did He Ran realize that the two young women were her daughter-in-law and the other was her daughter.

Before He Ran asked, the aunt said to herself: "Oh, my Aqiu is not in good luck. I met a beast. After all, it was the flesh that fell from my body. I can't watch her beating and scolded by that beast at her in-law's house. Well, last year, I gritted my teeth and took my two kids back from my in-laws' house."

At this time, the two women cleaned up the house and stood outside the door waiting. He Ran saw that one of the women looked a little similar to the aunt, and thought that this was the aunt's daughter Aqiu.

Although she dressed as a woman, she was still very young, only eighteen or nineteen years old.

During dinner, Aqiu came again, and this time she came alone. She was holding a jar in her hand. When she saw the little pear coming to open the door, she felt a little embarrassed: "This is a pickled milk cucumber, my mother asked her to send it to you for a try."

The pickles in Yangzhou are very famous and are the most delicious when eaten with porridge.

Xiaoli hurriedly thanked her and asked her to come in and sit down. Aqiu shook her head and said that she would go back early if it was too late.

At this time, the dusk was already dark, and Xiaoli saw Aqiu carrying a small bag.

Didn’t you come here to deliver pickles?

Why do you still carry a burden?

Xiaoli asked, "Miss Aqiu, are you going out?"

Aqiu hurriedly said, "No, no, I just went to an aunt's house and got the freshly cut clothes."

Having said that, the panic in Aqiu's eyes cannot be hidden from others.

Xiaoli naturally doesn't believe it.

"Miss Aqiu, you'd better tell the truth. You came out of your home under the name of delivering pickles to us. If something happens to you, your family will definitely doubt us. We are the ones who get into trouble.”

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Aqiu obviously didn't think so much. He heard Xiaoli say this for a moment, and didn't know what to say.

He Ran came out of the room after hearing the sound and saw the two people still stalemate at the door. She walked over and saw Aqiu with panic expressions and the baggage Aqiu was carrying.

"We are all women. Miss Aqiu doesn't need to worry about it. If you have anything to do, come in and talk about it."

Aqiu shook his head, but refused to come in and said unscrupulously: "I should go home, I won't cause trouble for you. I'll go home. Really, I'll go back now and won't go in."

He Ran winked, and Xiaoli suddenly took action and pulled Aqiu in.

By the time Aqiu realized, the person was already in the yard, and Xiaoli put the door bolt on it.

He Ran smiled and said, "Since you're here, then go into the house."

Aqiu wanted to say that I was going to leave, but I couldn't help but follow He Ran into the house.

After entering the house, He Ran signaled Aqiu to sit down and asked Xiaoli to serve Aqiu a cup of tea.

Aqiu saw that the teacup was shiny, like it was made of silver. It was not his own thing, but it was theirs.

I still bring a cup when I go out, so I must be a very particular person.

Tea is warm, but tea is not expensive. Most people in Jiangnan know how to drink tea. Aqiu tasted this was the old tea from the next year. He used such a precious cup but drank the old tea from the next year. He didn't know these girls. Who is it?

After drinking a cup of tea, Aqiu's nervous mood calmed down.

She was thinking about how to say goodbye, but she heard He Ran ask, "Miss Aqiu runs away from home, aren't you afraid that her family will worry?"

Aqiu was stunned by her sudden talk about the central matter, but tears came out disobediently.

Xiaoli thoughtfully handed over the clean veil. Although Aqiu took the veil, she still wiped away the tears with her sleeve, but her tears couldn't stop flowing.

He Ran did not disturb her, and watched her silently wipe her tears constantly. Her sleeves were soaked with tears, and she then changed to a veil.

I don’t know how long I cried, but Aqiu finally said, “Because of my business, my brother was quit, and I’m embarrassed at home.”

He Ran understood that the woman who came with her during the day was her sister-in-law, and it turned out that she had a younger brother who had not yet married.

"Are you retired?"

He Ran still remembered that the aunt said she took her daughter back from her in-laws' house. At that time, she subconsciously thought it was divorced.

Now if you think about it carefully, although this dynasty allows couples to divorce, occasionally divorce is all in the upper circle. There are few common people among the people.

If it is not a separation, it is a retirement.

Sure enough, Aqiu nodded: "The day after Ah Mother brought me back, he asked someone to send me a divorce letter."

The "he" in Aqiu's mouth is obviously the beast's ex-husband.

So it was because Aqiu was divorced by her husband's family and her brother's marriage was also ruined. The woman learned that there was an abandoned sister in the family, so she simply retired from the bride.

This world is unfair to women.

He Ran has heard of many such things and encountered many of them.

She looked at the small bag on Aqiu's shoulder and asked with concern: "You want to leave home because you don't want to cause any more trouble for your family, but now that the war is in chaos, where can you go?"

Aqiu raised his head, his eyes washed with tears and became clearer: "I heard that Ran's army is outside the city of the city, and the one who led the troops was a female general."

He Ran was stunned and then relieved. Whether in her previous life or this life, she had seen many women who came to join the army. Some of them did not have their parents' homes, some could not live in their homes, and of course some were like Aqiu, who did not want to cause trouble for their homes. of.

"Do you know martial arts?" He Ran looked at Aqiu's figure. The woman in the water town of Jiangnan was slender and soft. Even though she lived in the countryside since she was a child, her every move was gentle.

Aqiu shook his head: "I don't know martial arts, but I can cook fires and cook. I heard that there are fire-headed soldiers in the army who are specialized in cooking. I can go and cook. I don't want military pay and I don't eat much. Just give me a place to sit. I heard that there are many female soldiers in the Ran army."

He Ran smiled and asked, "How is your cooking skills?"

Aqiu didn't understand why the girl asked this, but she still said, "Everyone in her family loves to eat the food I cook, the same ingredients, but I make it tastes better than my mother and my sister-in-law's."

He Ran said, "Then you just stay and cook for me. None of them cooked well."

Xiaoli said angrily: "Big Girl"

She and Liuxia were both selected to train since childhood. They have learned **** people, how to poison, how to detoxify, and how to spy on news, but they have never learned how to make a good dish.

He Ran laughed and said to Aqiu, "What do you think?"

Aqiu never expected that the girl in front of her wanted to hire her. She stood up and felt a little at a loss. He Ran said, "Let Xiaoli take you back. Tell me to your family and I will go with us tomorrow. ”

When Aqiu returned home in a daze and talked about this with his family, he suddenly remembered that she didn't even know the girl's surname.

Sure enough, her mother was the first to object: "How can this be? Now there are chaos, only the family is safest. Besides, those girls are all riding horses and don't look like good people. We don't even know their origins. What if they sell you?”

But her brother and sister-in-law had different ideas: "Aqiu, did they say how much money they gave you? Should they sign a contract for sale? They are generous, why don't we go with you tomorrow and talk to her about the price?"

Her mother was anxious when she heard this: "Boss, what are you talking about? You still have to sign a contract for selling your body? Do you want to sell Aqiu?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a bang, and the younger brother kicked over the bench on the ground and shouted at her mother in anger: "Shouldn't he sell her? You still have to keep her at home ? ”
