Blood from Daming

Chapter 172 errands
Xue Polu watched the convoy going away for a long time before speaking: "It seems to Jin that Xue Zong has gone mad for the position of Patriarch, and we all need to be more careful in the future."

Lu Yaojin: "General, that's why I withheld nearly half of the weapons and equipment. The young master is good at everything but his heart is too soft-hearted. How could those people like Xue Zong change their positions just because you gave them something?"

Xue Polu pondered for a while and said: "Xue Shi is very good."

Lu Yaojin: "That's why I tried to win him over."

Xue Polu: "Let's go, if you want Jin, let's go to train the team." After speaking, Xue Polu and Lu Yaojin left the gate of the camp to watch the soldiers training on the beach near the sea.

On the fourth day after Xue Aoren returned to the capital to recuperate from his illness, Yan Sanniang, the head of the Xiaoxue Mansion, left for Yingtian Mansion on business.Although the Ming court took the traitor Fan Wencheng seriously and quickly on the 26th of the first month, the other criminals are still at large.

The court attached great importance to the case of the collusion between the Jianzhou Tartars and the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect. Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Shuntian Mansion all took action, sending their men to search for the fugitive Jianzhou Tartars and the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect.

According to the account of the traitor Fan Wencheng and the collection of information from all parties, the principal culprits in Zheng Gezhuang's case are Jianzhou secret camp leader Dong Feiyang with iron arms and bronze legs, one of the top ten martial arts masters today, Dong Feiyang, a white-clothed scholar, and Wen Xiang The teaching elder Liu Yunzi and Taoist priests, they discussed in Zhenggezhuang that the three groups of people would form an alliance to deal with the Ming court.

It was under such circumstances that Yan Sanniang was pushed out by Shuntian Mansion to go to the south to arrest the white-clothed scholar and the elder Liu Yunzi of Wenxiang Sect. Qi Tianyu and others were pushed out, but this coincided with Yan Sanniang's intentions.

What's more, this time when Yan Sanniang went south, she got a hint from her grandfather Xue Rui that she could use the power of Jinyiwei's secret camp. Later, Dongchang also told Yan Sanniang that she could act cheaply on behalf of Xue Yun, but Xue Yun's grandfather cared about the white-clothed scholars. What the factory cares about is the remnants of Wenxiangjiao.

Yan Sanniang went south to Yingtian Mansion eight times if not ten times. This time Yan Sanniang was squeezed out to do this kind of thankless job. All the servants in Shuntian Mansion who followed her were downcast, but anyone who had some connections was unwilling. Go, if you really can't avoid the clever one, pretend to be sick and ask for leave. Obediently go and arrest the well-known white-clothed scholar in the rivers and lakes. Every idiot knows that he is hitting a stone with an egg. Don't say credit for being able to save his life. Thank God and thank the ancestors up.

Yan Sanniang set off to the south for business, after all, she was also one of the four famous arresters of Shuntian Prefecture. The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture ordered 20 people to follow him, and these [-] people asked for leave and transferred a lot. Yan Sanniang estimated that there would be ten more left. Eight people, but Yan Sanniang waited at the gate of the Shuntian Mansion Yamen before leaving, and there were only three people standing behind her until it was almost noon.

Yan Sanniang looked at the three servants beside her, all of whom were her old subordinates, and the subordinate she valued also avoided this time, Yan Sanniang said to the three servants: "Going to the south is very difficult. If you don't want to go, I won't blame you, Yan Sanniang, everyone should think about it."

The three guards looked at each other, and they all firmly expressed their willingness to go to the south with Yan Sanniang to work.Yan Sanniang was a little moved: "Thank you for looking up to me, Yan Sanniang. In the future, I, Yan Sanniang, will definitely take care of the three brothers and get on the horse." Yan Sanniang got on her horse and ran towards Chaoyang Gate. A servant also got on his horse and followed Yan Sanniang closely.

In fact, Yan Sanniang used to be very popular in Shuntian Mansion. She was sincere, warm-hearted, and highly skilled in martial arts. She would do any dirty or tiring work that others didn't want to do, plus she was a girl. Everyone gave her face very much. As long as the big and small things in Shuntian Mansion were not particularly excessive, Yan Sanniang would say nine times out of ten. San Niang is too upright, no one dares to give it to her.

Since Yan Sanniang became Xue Yun's concubine, now she has stabbed the hornet's nest in Shuntian Mansion. Xue Yun has abolished the invincible master of Lan Tianyun. , but rotten people also have the advantages of rotten people. Lan Tianyun has high martial arts skills, thick skin, black and white all over Zhili Shuntian Mansion, and has many apprentices. The officials in the yamen also like to use him, that is Lan Tianyun. Especially money.

At that time, Lan Tianyun was crippled by Xue Yun, and many people in Shuntian Mansion felt ashamed to face Xue Yun, but these were not the most important. Since Lan Tianyun left Shuntian Mansion, the officials and servants of Shuntian Mansion It was only then that he realized Lan Tianyun's benefits when he found that his fees and bills had decreased.

Is there anything more painful than being touched by someone's money bag? The officials and guards in Shuntian Mansion naturally hate Xue Yun, but they can't do anything about Xue Yun. The majestic General Ming is not something they can shake. I had no choice but to continue to find ways to collect those fees and fees. However, Zhuge Dugu Qingyun, Nantian Shenjian Xiu Wangang, Qi Tianyu, who steals fragrance with skillful hands, are not as invincible as Lan Tianyun, so the effect is naturally worse. Not a lot.

Yan Sanniang became Xue Yun's wife, and the officials of Shuntian Mansion began to avoid her and exclude her in many things. The ancients said: "Loving the house is as good as Wu, and the people of Shuntian Mansion hate Xue Yun and Yan Sanniang. In order to let Yan Sanniang rest at a distance, lest she be an eyesore in front of everyone, since Yan Sanniang loses power, everyone will naturally not follow her.

Yan Sanniang and her party of four left Chaoyang Gate and galloped all the way to the southeast.The three officials who followed Yan Sanniang were all under Sanniang's father when he was there. The oldest officer named Min Chenglin volunteered to join, and the other two were middle-aged men named Wan Jianxin and Liu Ben.

Yan Sanniang ran for more than ten miles in anger before she slowed down the reins and let the horse walk forward slowly.Min Chenglin, the oldest, spoke to Yan Sanniang: "Little Yanzi, can a few of us go to Yingtian Mansion to succeed? Why don't we go back to Shuntian Mansion and tell the adults, and we won't go."

Yan Sanniang reined in the horse, looked back at Min Chenglin and the three of them, and said, "Uncle Min, Yanzi won't go back if you fight for a piece of incense. Brother Wan and Brother Liu, what do you say?"

Wan Jianxin and Liu Ben looked at each other, and Wan Jianxin said: "We are inseparable from our fathers and mothers, and we are never separated from our mothers. We have been orphans since we were young and wandered around the capital. It was Uncle Yan who took us in and let us go I became an official servant, this time the mansion ordered me and the young lady to go with me, don't say anything about others, Ben'er and I have no face to leave."

Liu Ben: "Miss, if it weren't for Uncle Yan, maybe the two of us would have died a long time ago. This time, the two of us will accompany the lady to repay your father's kindness. The two of us have also made a wish. If this time If we don’t die, the two of us will withdraw from the official business and live a peaceful life of our own.”

Yan Sanniang nodded, and said to Min Chenglin: "Uncle Min, you should stop going to the south when you are old."

Min Chenglin: "Little Yanzi, I'm only in my early fifties and I'm much younger than your father. Don't worry, Uncle Min's bones are very hard."

Yan Sanniang didn't say anything else and rode straight to the east. Min Chenglin, Wan Jianxin, and Liu Ben followed behind on horseback, but the three were obviously in a heavy mood and no one spoke.

When Yan Sanniang and the others could see the fortress on the small slope of Xuezhuang, there were a lot of people gathered at the fork in front of Xuezhuang. : "Uncle Min, hurry up, there are people waiting for us in front."

Min Chenglin and the three of them hurriedly looked forward, where there were hundreds of people standing at the fork in the distance, and there were more than a dozen people on horseback rushing towards them. Sanniang's.

Yan Sanniang waited for the riders to recognize it when they got close. The first was Xue Yun's fourth uncle, followed by Qin Zhehua, a hundred households under her in the dark camp of Jinyiwei, and Wang Defa, the general banner, Yan Sanniang slightly With a smile, he reined in the reins and stood there waiting for Xue Si and the others to come over.

Xue Si and the others ordered to get off their horses when they got close. Xue Si saluted Yan Sanniang: "Xue Zhuang steward Xue Si respectfully welcomes the mistress back to the village to rest."

Yan Sanniang: "Please trouble fourth uncle, let's go to Xuezhuang." Yan Sanniang turned her head and called Min Chenglin and the three of them.

Xue Si led Yan Sanniang and his party into Xuezhuang. Wu Hui had been waiting for Yan Sanniang at the gate of Xuezhuang. As soon as Yan Sanniang arrived, she stepped forward to greet her. Yan Sanniang quickly got off the horse and they held hands and talked With a smile, he went to Xuezhuang's small courtyard.

Yan Sanniang and Wu Hui sat down in the small courtyard, Xue Zhuang's servants quickly brought up the lunch, the two mistresses Yan Sanniang and Wu Hui sat at a table alone, Min Chenglin, Wan Jianxin, and Liu Ben Naturally, Xue Zhuang's middle-level managers were there to receive them. It was already past noon at this time, and Yan Sanniang and the others picked up the bowl without any formality and began to eat.

After Yan Sanniang had lunch, Xue Sicai stepped forward and said, "Mistress, this time you are going south to Yingtianfu to do business, do you want to pick some people from Xuezhuang, so that you won't get caught up with the newcomers you are looking for over there?"

Yan Sanniang thought for a while and said, "Thank you fourth uncle. If it's convenient, fourth uncle will send someone who can do things. The errands are ready to go to fifth brother's place to ask for it." Yan Sanniang agreed to Xue Si's request.
