The Major General's Country Wife

"master."

Xu Chongwen looked up and saw that it was a servant at home, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Old Madam and Madame, Master please go back." The servant said.

Xu Chongwen nodded clearly, he knew why, and he was afraid that they would do something stupid if he didn't want to go back, so he said: "Tell the old lady and the others that they are busy with work now, so I will go back in the afternoon."

"Yes, sir." The servant stepped back and reported.

At this time, Xu Chongxin hurried back to the mansion, the more he thought about what his elder brother said, the more wrong he became, he rushed back to ask if there was anything wrong in the mansion?

"Master." Seeing him coming back, Mrs. Xu burst into tears, "All properties have been smashed and sealed, what should I do?"

"What's going on?" Xu Chongxin's eyelids twitched, and his premonition got worse, "Say it quickly."

Mrs. Xu recounted what happened, and begged, "Master, can you think of a way?"

"A solution?" Xu Chongxin slumped on the chair all of a sudden, knowing in his heart that this kind of thing must have happened in the Duke's Mansion, otherwise the eldest brother would not have said those words.

"You should think about how to make up for the mistakes you made!" Xu Chongxin sighed, "You know how much you have involved in this, even if you say you didn't participate at all, no one will believe you."

He glanced at Xu Shi, and said: "Don't try to push everything out, you can't get rid of the fact that you just condone the evil servant's murder."

"Master." After hearing what he said, Mrs. Xu quit immediately, "Who am I for, isn't it for this family?"

"For this family?" Xu Chong said: "Does this family cost you a little money? Where does the Duke's Mansion cost you a little money? A mistake is a mistake, there is no need to shirk responsibility."

After he finished speaking, he got up and didn't want to continue talking with her. Xu Shi always had ideas, but he still reminded him, saying: "Go back to your mother's house and have a look. I can't help you with those things. You can go back and talk about it." .”

"Come here." When Mrs. Xu heard his mention of her natal home, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly called for someone to prepare a car, and went back to her natal home to inquire about the news.

……

When the evening was approaching, Xu Chongwen left a little earlier.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw a little maid saw him, turned around and ran quickly, and the direction she saw was going to the old lady.

He didn't delay any longer, he didn't even change his court clothes, and walked directly to his mother's yard.

"Master." When Qian saw him coming in, she hurriedly got up and wanted to ask if she had found out what she told him last night.

Xu Chongwen raised his hand to stop her from asking, and looked at his mother. Seeing that she also looked expectant, he sighed helplessly and sat down.

"Don't think about it, just wait for the yamen to judge the case." Xu Chongwen said.

"Why?" Yang asked in surprise, "Jingzhao Mansion doesn't even give you face?"

"I didn't go to Jingzhao Mansion at all." Xu Chongwen said: "I went, but it was of no use at all. Don't take this matter by chance. No one can suppress it."

"How could it be?" Qian didn't believe it, she looked at Xu Chongwen suspiciously, "Is the master afraid of losing face and doesn't want to care about this at all?"

She was in a hurry when she said this, and accused Xu Chongwen: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, but you can also watch the mother's affairs."

"You've been bullied to the door, how can you bear it?" Qian's face flushed with anger, and she looked at him angrily and said, "Our property was destroyed, and the servants below were arrested. Can you keep it?"

"Chongwen." Yang's eyes were gloomy, and he said angrily, "That's your mother's dowry private property, and there are so many years of hard work, do you want to see it all destroyed by others?"

"Mother has a rich family, and manages all the dowry by herself." Xu Chongwen looked at her inexplicably, "For so many years, all expenses have been paid by the Duke's government, why do you still do those outrageous things?"

"You?" Mrs. Yang clutched her chest angrily, and said angrily, "How could I hurt the world? I just run my own business. This is in the way of who will make us feel better."

"What's going on, mother should be clear." Xu Chongwen said: "If there is no real evidence, who dares to come to the door to vent their anger, and how dare to go to the yamen to sue the Duke?"

No matter how much Mrs. Yang and the others argued, Xu Chongwen didn't believe it. They still refuted things that even a three-year-old child couldn't fool.

"If my mother can calm down a bit and wait for the yamen to judge the case quietly at home, maybe she will be lenient." Xu Chongwen said.

He thought about it, and finally gave some advice as a son, saying: "If mother doesn't believe it, send someone back to the Earl's Mansion to check the news."

After he finished speaking, he got up, thinking that he had already said what he should say, so he didn't want to stop any longer.

When he passed Qian's, he paused, and said again: "You also send someone back to your mother's house to ask, see what happened to them, and then decide what you should do."

"Master." Qian grabbed him, "Since the master knows, why didn't he say it?"

"Chongwen, what happened to your natal family?" Yang Shi also got up to stop him, and said, "You understand what you said before you leave."

He saw the two people in front of him, they looked like they didn't intend to let him go, and didn't want to say that what happened early was impossible.

"Okay." He didn't pretend to be a secret, and directly told them about the impeachment of the court, and told them that the emperor was so angry that he had sent someone to prison.

As soon as Xu Chongwen finished speaking, he saw that his mother couldn't get up, and she was precariously tilted to one side.

"Old lady."

"Mother."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Xu Chongwen ordered loudly, "Go and ask the doctor, hurry up."

"Go to prison, go to prison?" Mrs. Qian seemed to have never heard of it, she didn't pay attention to everything in front of her eyes, she stood there with blurred eyes and muttered, "Go to prison, everyone go to prison."

"Woo." She sat down on the ground, crying loudly. She didn't know why so many things happened in a short period of time.

……

A few days later, the Duke's Mansion and the Uncle's Mansion came to a verdict.

The Yang family, Qian family and Xu family were all deprived of their titles and demoted to common people, all their properties were confiscated, and the evil servants were sentenced according to the law.

Uncle's Mansion, Shi Lang's Mansion and Xu Mansion were also removed from official positions and demoted to common people, and those who did evil, whether they were masters or servants, would be punished according to the law.

The reason why the whole family was not exiled was that the family property was confiscated. Emperor Shengkang looked at the face of those innocent old and weak women and children and made a lenient one.

In the face of this verdict, Emperor Shengkang showed his benevolent side, and let the civil and military officials see his strong and resolute side, leaving a deep impression on the world.

"Young master." Qiu Si saw that Yun Changsheng didn't react at all when he heard his report, so he couldn't help calling softly.

"I see, you go down." Yun Changsheng said.

Emperor Shengkang's sentence was not harsh, especially when he was lenient to the government of the state, and he was concerned about himself, so he deprived the Yang family and the others of their titles, which was considered both sides.

He didn't want to pursue it too harshly, he just counterattacked what he thought he should do. As for the rest, let things take their course.

But he knew that he and Xu Changfeng were no longer possible. Even if he didn't mind understanding, there was already a rift between the two of them.

There are also Xu Guogong and Xu Chongwen, those people in the Duke's Mansion who had goodwill towards him and got along well with him, maybe it would be embarrassing for both of them to meet again.

These few days he refused to think about it, but at this moment, he could no longer ignore it. The success of the Duke's Mansion was also his own, and now he was humiliated and lost.

Yun Changsheng smiled wryly, "That's all, that's all, just do it if you do it, why not be afraid to face it."

Since then, he has devoted himself to the construction of the medical school, doing what he should do without distraction, leaving everything else behind.

It's just that sometimes, you are often not allowed to keep your ears shut, and someone will wake you up and let you remember.

"Master." Qiu Si trotted in with a letter in his hand, "A letter from the Major General."

With a bright smile on his face, he looked anxious, "Master, how long has it been? I guess the Major General has not arrived at the border, so I wanted to write to you."

"Yeah." Yun Changsheng looked at the letter in his hand. According to the distance, this letter was written on the way, "Go down."

"Yes." Qiu Si looked at Yun Changsheng puzzled, and muttered in his mouth: "Young master read the letter from the young general, so you can't let someone wait on you."

Yun Changsheng ignored him, his eyes fell on the letter, and he read it silently for a long time, but finally didn't open it, he thought there was no need to read it again.

I believe it won't be long before Xu Changfeng will know what happened here, anyway, he doesn't want to bother about these things anymore, just let them go like this.

Yun Changsheng also didn't want to know Xu Changfeng's thoughts. It was impossible for him to return to the Duke's Mansion. The fate of the two of them could be said to end here.

Time passed slowly for a month, and on this day he suddenly received a message from Emperor Sheng Kang about the war at the border, and he just received the news today.

Yun Changsheng's heart skipped a beat, and his calm heart was suddenly disrupted. He suddenly realized why Xu Changfeng had to go to the border.

He was so reluctant, if it wasn't something really important, why did he have to leave him?

The border affairs, and the caravan he sent to form were just excuses. Xu Changfeng must have received the news that the border was unstable before he resolutely chose to leave.

There is also Xu Guogong, since Xu Changfeng left, he is going to visit friends far away, and he has not returned for so long, so he probably followed him to the border.

"Qiu Si, prepare the horse." Yun Changsheng hurried to run, and ordered Qiu Si loudly.

He galloped all the way to the Southwest Escort, "Uncle He, Uncle He."

"What's the matter, Changsheng." He Xi looked at him strangely, "What's the matter, in such a hurry?"

"Does Uncle He know the news about the war at the border?" Yun Changsheng asked.

"Just received the news." He Xi said, "I still want to let you know when I send you a letter later."

Yun Changsheng took a deep breath, and took Xu Changfeng's letter. This was already the sixth letter this month, and he felt sore.

"Send more people to the border, and always pay attention to the news of the battle." Yun Changsheng said.

"Of course." He Xi said, "We have a lot of business there now, so we will definitely pay close attention."

He thought for a while, seeing that Yun Changsheng's complexion was not good, he said: "The major general will be fine, don't worry."

"That's not the problem." Yun Changsheng turned his face away uncomfortably, "The breach of the border gate affects the safety of the whole world, and we are one of them."

He thought for a while and said, "It was agreed this year that we will vigorously develop land planting, and now it just comes in handy."

Yun Changsheng looked at He Xi, "There are also a lot of fields bought in the north, and all the food grown cannot be moved at all. We must make preparations in advance, and we can't rely on the imperial court."

"Yeah." He Xi was annoyed, and said, "After such a war, our caravan on the other side of the grassland can't leave at all, and the loss is not small."

"It's just less cattle and sheep to eat." Yun Changsheng said: "This fight, I don't know how long it will end, and what money do we want to make, none of us will miss this profit."

"That's true." He Xi said, but he thought in his heart: We are not bad, but some people are bad.

He didn't say anything, knowing that Yun Changsheng didn't want to talk about it right now, so he said instead, "I'll go to the North Pass in person, don't worry, wait for the news."
