Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter [-] Negotiation

"Shu Ping, Shu Ping!"

The door of Zhang Deqi's house is becoming more and more dilapidated. Although it is not a few days before the Chinese New Year, there is no trace of rewashing and papering on the dilapidated gate. The owner obviously has no intention of cleaning it up, so he just let it be so dilapidated go down.

When Li Xin arrived outside the gate of Zhang’s house, it was dusk and it was already dark, but none of the surrounding houses lit up lanterns... Jinan is a prefectural city, and even ordinary people would hang a lantern above the gate It is used for lighting, adding a little popularity, and shining on the lintel of one's own home.

But in this chaotic world, no one cares about it even if it’s the New Year’s Eve, and it’s impossible for anyone to waste lamp oil, so when it gets dark, the alley is pitch black, and you can’t see anything at all. [

He slammed the door of Zhang's house hard, bang bang, and after a while, he heard Zhang Deqi's steady and powerful voice: "Is it the elder brother?"

"it's me."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After Zhang Deqi answered, there was the sound of carrying things in the yard. After a while, the door opened with a dumb sound, and then there was the figure of Zhang Deqi holding a lantern.

Seeing Li Xin, he said very apologetically, "Brother, please forgive me for being rude."

"It's okay." Li Xin went in and saw that Zhang's family was blocking the door with some sundries. He nodded and praised: "Deqi, be careful, it won't break... Hurry up and bolt the door."

At this time, his status as the governor of the yamen is not very useful. The volunteer soldiers or Laizhou soldiers in the city know that the Qing soldiers may attack the city, and most of the city cannot be defended. Is there still time to restrain them?During the chaos of war, it is not known who will die in battle and who will survive. At this time, the soldiers would like to enjoy more blessings, so they indulged themselves extraordinarily, and the generals also knew that this was not the time to talk about military law, so they became more and more concerned. indulgence.

These days, apart from those who killed many people in the east of the city, the rebel army has been looting, raping, and killing people almost every day.There is almost no place that does not suffer. In the city of Jinan, the more than 1000 soldiers have suffered a lot. Many families who have been raped or robbed either hanged their families or cried and robbed the ground. Most of the people's panic comes from this.

The alien Tartar soldiers have not come yet, but they have already felt what the war is going on in advance. This is really a cruel joke.

The alley of Zhang Deqi's house is very close to the west archway of King De's Mansion, so there are many dignitaries and nobles living there, and there are also many nursing homes. Ordinary rebels will not come here, which also benefits the Zhang family a lot. But even so, the necessary precautions are It is inevitable, otherwise the one who regrets must be himself.

Hearing Li Xin's words, Zhang Deqi also hurriedly inserted the bolt of the courtyard gate, then put his sleeves on his hands, and smiled wryly at Li Xin: "Brother, please come in and talk."

"Okay, let's talk in the house."

Li Xin came here in a hurry, but he was not in a hurry. It was getting dark at this time, and it was too late to do anything, so we might as well talk slowly.

When he entered the room, he saw Zhang Deqi's son was squatting in the corner, weeping at something. In a child's house, when everything was worry-free, crying like this was obviously very sad, not really Know what it is for.
