Late Tang

(Thanks to the Princess Sword for the reward and reminder for changing tickets, and also to [Savvy] for the reward of [-] coins, and congratulations to [Savvy] for becoming the first rudder master in the late Tang Dynasty! Four thousand-word chapters are here.)

Fatty Zhang Kuguan told the truth about the murder of Li Jing together with Wang Liang like a bamboo tube pouring beans.These words swept through everyone's hearts like a storm, especially those in the Li family who had the greatest impact.

After a long silence, Han asked tremblingly, "Are these all true?"

Li Jing nodded: "Yes, these are all true. After I was released from prison, I asked Wang Liang personally, and he also told me that he did it. He colluded with this bastard to harm me. My family has always been resentful. Especially because I refused to marry Guiniang at the beginning, and the engagement and gift proposed by the fourth sister later, and he even blamed the death of his father-in-law that year on his father. He colluded with Zhang Kuguan not only To take revenge on our Li family, and to make money. Zhang Kuguan only got 55 mu of land, and he also allocated 45 mu to Wang Liang. But in fact, Wang Liang took away from us, including himself and the blacksmith’s uncle’s family. Zhang Kuguan got [-] mu of land one after another, and Wang Liang swallowed [-] mu of land privately."

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Fortunately, we always thought that he was our family's savior, and we promised Fourth Sister to him." Han's face was pale and he was very angry.

"Aniang, I didn't say it earlier because I didn't want you to worry with me."

"But have you ever thought that Wang Liang treated us like that, and you still watched him get engaged to Fourth Sister. Fortunately, he finally got his retribution and was picked up by bandits on the way. Otherwise, how could you treat your Fourth Sister?" Han still has some worries in her heart.Li Jing said indifferently: "Even if he was not killed by bandits, I will never let him have the chance to marry Fourth Sister. Even if I drag him to die together, I will not let him succeed."

"What should we do now? Your fourth sister is still engaged to Wang Liang."

"There is no need to think about this matter, of course it has to be disclosed in front of the whole village." It was the first time Li Huier heard about this matter, and she also cursed Wang Liang for not being a thing.Han hesitated a little and said: "This matter is made public, what will the sister-in-law of the Wang family think, can you bear it?"

"Mother-in-law, Mr. Lang, I've decided this matter for my mother, please make it public. Since it was my third brother's crime, how can I let my fourth sister bear it? Besides, since I entered this family at the beginning, it was because of me The third brother cheated me. Then I would be ashamed to stay in this house any longer. I know that Sanlang is capable. Now that he is a general, he might become a son-in-law or the son-in-law of the prime minister in the future. I am not worthy of Sanlang. Saburo, just give me a divorce letter."

Only then did everyone remember that Mrs. Han asked Wang Guiniang to make tea just now, but she came back at some point and heard the whole thing.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Since you have already entered this house, you are from the Li family. Wang Liang is Wang Liang, and the crimes he committed have nothing to do with you. Since you entered the house, I have watched every word and deed. In my eyes. You work hard to manage the house, you are filial to your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and you are kind to your sister-in-law. I am too happy for such a virtuous daughter-in-law. How could I let you go. Don't say such things in the future!" Han said quickly, stepped forward and pulled Hold Wang Guiniang's hand and persuade carefully.

Among them, only Li Huier and Yu Youniang were the most embarrassed.In Wang Guiniang's remarks, the son-in-law and the prime minister's son-in-law were obviously referring to the two of them.In the past, they had a close relationship with Li Jing, and Feng Yanqing once said such unbelievable words.It's just that today in front of everyone, Li Jing's wife said such things in Li's house, this matter is different.Both of them couldn't help but blushed and had a fever on their faces.It was a feeling like being caught and raped in bed, making them appear naked in front of everyone. "We still have something to do, so let's go first." The two women couldn't muster up the courage to argue with Wang Guiniang at the Li's house, but just fled the Li's yard with their heads down as if they were lost.

The two of them left, but they didn't think about it. On the contrary, it was a bit of a cover-up.Even Mrs. Han looked at Li Jing suspiciously, and Li Jing was a little depressed by everyone's eyes.I had no choice but to say to Wang Guiniang: "What are you thinking about every day? Since I married you, as long as you don't violate the seven-out rule, I won't let you go out. Although I married you because of two families Arranged, but I also agree in my heart. You never disliked me in times of adversity. How can I abandon my poor wife even though I have a small achievement? It is enough to hear such words once, and I hope I will not hear them again. As for How to deal with the matter of Wang Liang, I mean that it is enough for us people to know about it. In addition, Guiniang finds a suitable opportunity and talks about it with her mother-in-law in private. There is no need to publicize it to the outside world, after all, there is no need to publicize family ugliness. You don't have to worry about Simei's marriage, I will definitely find a more suitable husband's family for Simei in the future."

When Wanjing heard that Wang Liang was such a shameless person, she had no feelings for Wang Liang in her heart.After hearing the third brother talk about her marriage, he couldn't help being shy, and ran back to the house with his skirt covered.

It was only then that Li Jing realized that it seemed inappropriate for him to say this in front of so many people just now, and his eyes just shifted to Lin Wei, and he couldn't help but move.He moved to his mother and quietly introduced Xia Linwei's background. "Aniang, look at my sworn brother. If you think it's okay, I think it's better to promise the fourth sister to him. You know everything, so you can rest assured."

Mrs. Han was also a little surprised by Li Jing's words, but after carefully looking at Lin Wei several times, it was the mother-in-law who looked at her son-in-law, and became more and more satisfied the more she looked at her.At that moment, Mrs. Han asked Lin Wei who else was in Lin Wei's family, how old they were, and so on.

"My nephew is now 28 years old. He is a native of Chang'an, the capital city. Five years ago, an accident happened. His family was ruined and his family was destroyed. Only my second brother and I are left. My wife and a pair of children are gone." Lin Wei didn't notice Han's words. I mean, just answer truthfully.

When Han heard that Lin Wei was 28 years old and had a wife and children, she was a little hesitant.Wan Jing is only sixteen, but there is a difference of twelve between the two, and they are still doing the sequel, which is a bit wronged for the woman.

"Aniang, Brother Lin is a gentle and gentle person. If Fourth Sister marries, he won't be wronged. What's more, Brother Lin is still a seventh-rank official. He is older, so he can take care of Fourth Sister." Li Jing The more I think about it, the better this marriage is.Although the matter of Wang Liang was clarified today, no matter what, Wanjing already had a marriage contract and the other party died before she got married.Furthermore, the family background of the Li family is not very high, even if they are looking for it, they may only be looking for a small farm family with a better family background.Instead of that, it's better to marry Lin Wei.After all, Lin Wei was born as a general in the capital. He has a good family background and a good temper.He neither gambled nor drank or committed any other evil deeds, and Lin Wei was Li Jing's most important deputy at the moment.

Although the two have sworn sworn brothers, if the sworn brothers are joined by two marriages, the relationship will be stronger.Besides, apart from being a little older, Lin Wei is a serious seventh-rank official.From the perspective of future generations, although Lin Wei looks a little old, he is only 28 years old, so he can't be said to be old. A 28-year-old seventh-rank official, in future generations, he is a diamond-level prince.

"Brother Lin, you met Fourth Sister just now, what do you think of her?" Li Jing pulled Lin Wei aside and asked softly.

"That's right, Wen Wen Wan Jing, she lives up to her name, and I heard that she has learned literature and calligraphy, and knows books and rituals. She is no worse than a lady." Lin Wei expressed his impression of Wan Jing very honestly.But he didn't realize that Li Jing was already smiling when he heard the words.

"Then I don't know if Big Brother Lin intends to get closer?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Wei heard Li Jing's meaning, but pretended not to understand with some embarrassment.

"My sister-in-law has also been away for five years. It is impossible for my elder brother to be single like this for the rest of my life, right? You are not married, and my fourth sister is not married. Since you also think the fourth sister is suitable, then I think it is better to combine the two. Let's kiss each other." How about getting married, and I will marry Qin and Jin for you?"

Lin Wei blushed at what Li Jing said, and shook his hands again and again: "Marriage, how can it be such a trifling matter, it should be the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and then six rituals can be done."

Li Jing said directly: "My mother also thinks you are suitable!"

"Really?" Lin Wei looked at Li Jing and asked with some embarrassment.

"Of course, can this matter be joked about? If you are willing, then my family will ask the fourth sister what she means. If you are not willing, then that's all." After speaking, Li Jing pretended to leave, but Lin Wei really fell into the trick, and hurriedly Grabbing Li Jing, she said softly, "If Auntie really has that meaning, then you can ask Fourth Sister. If he is willing, I will be very happy."

Seeing Lin Wei's heartbeat, Li Jing couldn't help laughing.Immediately, he returned to Han's side and reported Lin Wei's willingness.Mrs. Han pondered for a while and said: "Since you, the elder brother, think it's suitable, then I won't think about it anymore. I'll go and ask Fourth Sister, if it can be done, it will be good."

After a while, Mrs. Han went back and forth, and nodded to Li Jing. "The dead woman seems to be willing. She said that since brother and mother think it's good, we will make the decision for her. You go and talk to the brothers of the Lin family, let them hire a matchmaker, and choose a date to make a decision."

Li Jing went over to tell Lin Wei the result, and Lin Wei was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.Lin Wu saw that several people had been coming over mysteriously to ask questions, and when Li Jing told him the good news, he immediately became excited.The two brothers of the Lin family were married and had wives and children in Chang'an. Unfortunately, they were framed and their families were ruined. Even the two brothers almost died.Later, although he broke his family and saved his life, he became a homeless couple.Seeing that the two brothers are almost thirty, but there is no one in the house yet, they all say that there are three ways to be unfilial, and the worst is to have no descendants.Seeing that his elder brother finally found a suitable one, he couldn't be unhappy.

Lin Wu's big mouth immediately told everyone who was yelling about the matter, and Cui Zhenjiang also jumped out at this time and shouted to be a matchmaker.Li Jing only hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to Cui Decheng's old rough matchmaker.

As for the fat man Zhang Kuguan, he was completely forgotten by Li Jing on purpose. Cui Zhen made it clear that he wanted Li Jing's subordinates to spare the life of his brother-in-law Zhang Kuguan through his various performances today.It is said that one foot respected by others will be honored by another foot.Cui Zhenjiang had said so many good things, and even took the initiative to put down his status to befriend Li Jing. It's impossible for Li Jing to really be ignorant and insist on what to do with that fat man?

If Li Jing really wanted to kill Fatty Zhang regardless of Cui Zhenjiang's affection, it is very possible to imagine that he and Cui Zhenjiang would turn against each other.The reason for the story of Li Sheng, a famous general in the middle Tang Dynasty, and another general turned against each other was because of a camp prostitute.

What's more, General Cui Zhen beat the fat man up, and announced in front of Li Jing that he would drive the fat man out of Ziqing Town. eyes.In addition, Fatty corrupted Li Jing's family's [-] mu of land back then, but today Cui Zhenjiang signed a contract on the [-] mu of fertile land near Wangli Village to Li Jing on the spot.

The thousand mu of land was originally the farmland of Chishan Junzhen, but later became Cui Decheng's private field.Now Cui Decheng took this as an apology, and returned with him, and allocated the thousand acres of fine paddy fields to Li Jing.When the matter reached this point, Li Jing also accepted the apology with a smile.A thousand mu of land is indeed a lot, but Li Jing doesn't take it too seriously now.Accepting this field is just to express to Cui Decheng that the little estrangement between the two caused by Zhang Kuguan has completely passed.

If he doesn't accept it, it means that he is still thinking about this matter in his heart. If he accepts it, he will really be part of Cui Yunqing's family from now on.

Fatty Zhang kowtowed to Li Jing, Li's mother and others more than a dozen times as if he had received an amnesty. His head was dripping with blood. Finally, it was not until Li Jing called him up in a cold voice that he finally let go. heart.

If it wasn't for the fact that his sister was young and beautiful and was favored by General Cui, she gave birth to two sons. With General Cui's temper, how could he bow down to someone who gave him a low official position?After getting his life spared, Zhang Hong scrambled out of Li's house.He returned to Chishan Town without even daring to stop for half a step along the way, and then left Chishan Town on horseback that day, left Wendeng, left Dengzhou, left Ziqing Town, and for the rest of his life, he would never dare to return to Ziqing Town again Half a step away.
