Blood from Daming

Chapter 244 Transfer
Xue Rui had been sick at home for several days, Xue Rui's condition had just recovered a little that day, when the second son Xue Aoren came to the room, Xue Rui asked: "My son, how is the situation outside?"

Xue Aoren knew that his father was concerned about every move of the imperial court, so he said: "According to the report from my family, the convoy of prisoners from Liaodong entered Deshengmen earlier. Li Yongfang is here, and more than [-] heads were brought in, father, our Xue family's contribution this time cannot be lost."

Xue Rui shook his head and sighed, "My son, is the Xue family's contribution still small? Yun'er killed many times more Tartars in Datong than this time at Hongluo Mountain, but the officials in the court don't recognize you. The credit for it is also in vain."

Xue Aoren said: "Father, the family said that the second steward of "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" left the capital today with a huge caravan, I don't know if my father knows about it. "

Xue Rui sat up and said: "These things are handled by your daughter-in-law in Xiao Xue's house, what are you doing with these things?"

Xue Aoren was a little embarrassed and said: "Last month, "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" went to Datong, and I heard that he made a lot of money, but shopkeeper Chen and the others didn't even give me a word. Our Daxue Mansion is paying attention. "

Xue Rui said angrily: "You fart, is it that your mother-in-law is instigating again to get some money? If you are capable of running the Xue family's business, the Xue family will not be ruined by your dead mother-in-law." collapsed."

Seeing his father getting angry, Xue Aoren stopped talking, and Xue Rui calmed down after a while before saying: "My son, the less people who know about some things, the better. Shopkeeper Chen and the others have already prepared for this time, waiting for the news of Datong As soon as we arrived, we set off immediately, and the granddaughter-in-law of Xiaoxue's residence, Mrs. Chen, had already come to report the night before."

Xue Aoren asked: "Father, what did the daughter-in-law say?"

Xue Rui said with some pride: "Yun'er was lucky this time. He wiped out a caravan of the Jian captive Nurhachi in the west of Liaoning, and captured nearly a million gold and silver goods from the north. He is about to let Manager Yang Er bring them back to the capital from Datong. In this way, the pensions for the casualties of the Xue family will be settled, and you can see that my spirit is much better now, and it won't be long before my body recovers."

Xue Aoren said with some regret: "Father, it's a pity that millions of dollars are wasted. If our Xue family keeps it for a few lifetimes, we will never be able to eat it all."

Xue Rui reprimanded Xue Aoren and said: "As you lead troops with such virtue, I'm afraid not many people will work for you, sooner or later you will be killed by money." Xue Aoren looked at his father and just laughed without arguing.

A few days after Miss Chen from the Xiaoxue Mansion sent away Yang Er, the caravan in charge of "Xue Ji Silk Cloth", they received a top-secret coded letter from her husband in Datong Mansion, and it was sent by both the light and the dark. When Miss Chen After deciphering the content through the codebook, I was shocked. The signal from the husband Xue Yun actually said that Datong had received information that the peace negotiation mission of Jianlu was about to or had arrived in the capital. For safety's sake, Xue Yun ordered Miss Chen to quickly evacuate the people from the big and small Xue residences, and the initial transfer place was Xuezhuang outside Guangqumen.

Yan Sanniang was not here, and Ms. Chen suddenly felt that the heavy burden of the Xue family was overwhelming her. Jianlu's peace mission arrived three days ago, and she knew all these things. After the defeat, he came to Daming to ask for peace. Unexpectedly, even after losing the battle, Jianlu harbored evil intentions to deal with his husband.

Miss Chen immediately ordered her servants to inform Mei Xiang and Xue's four plants, Rumeng, Ruolian, Xue'er, and Yunxi, to discuss matters, and then sent Xue Yun to stay with his own soldiers to check around Xiaoxue's mansion and Xue's mansion. There was a movement, and a secret signal was sent to call Qin Zhehua, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, to come to Xue's house for discussion, and an order was given to the shopkeepers of Xue's "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" and "Sanjiang Huitong" to come to Xiao Xue's house for a meeting. Miss Chen herself plunged into grandfather Xue Rui's small house. hospital.

After Ms. Chen finished talking about the content of the encrypted letter, she presented Xue Yun's handwritten letter to her grandfather Xue Rui. After reading Xue Yun's letter carefully, his grandfather Xue Rui said to Ms. Chen: "Oh, unexpectedly, Jianlu hates me. The Xue family has come to this point, daughter-in-law, the emperor will not be so easy to fall for Jianlu, even if the emperor is greedy for the land and wealth in Liaodong, the most he can do is to remove Yun'er from his position. I believe that our Xue family will not have any big troubles .”

Ms. Chen said anxiously: "Grandfather, my husband is not prepared to hand over military power. If the emperor is angry with the Xue family, he will not be able to withstand the court's thunderous tactics. Grandfather, let's evacuate everyone from Beijing."

Grandfather Xue Rui pondered for a while and said: "Granddaughter-in-law, if all members of our Xue family leave, this will just put the handle in the hands of Xue's political opponents, grandson and daughter-in-law, let's take the people from Xiaoxue's family away."

Miss Chen saw that her grandfather Xue Rui couldn't persuade her, so she left and went back to Xiao Xue's mansion. When Miss Chen returned to Xiao Xue's mansion, Mei Xiang, Ru Meng, Ruo Lian, Xue Er, and Yun Xi had already been waiting in the hall of the inner courtyard for a while. Miss Chen She didn't talk to everyone and said: "Sisters, Sister Hui has something to ask everyone to visit Xiaoxuezhuang. You go now, take all the valuables at home, and let me deal with what you can't take away."

Mei Xiang, Ruo Lian, Ruo Lian, Xue Er, and Yun Xi suddenly paled when they heard this. Mei Xiang, Ruo Lian, Xue Er, and Yun Xi were still calm, but Ru Meng couldn't take it anymore and asked: "You don't need to move if you go to Sister Hui's place. If you have anything to say, Sister Chen can talk it over."

Ms. Chen knows that Rumeng insists that the people who come from the family of Xue Rui's grandfather, Xue Rui, are also old people from her husband's old house. With the Shangfang sword given to me by her husband in her hand, she naturally became authoritative, not to mention that the time is urgent and Ms. Chen has time to chat with Rumeng, so she said to Rumeng: "This is an order from your husband. For the specific situation, you have arrived at Xue's residence Naturally you will know, now everyone hurry up and prepare for departure in half an hour, remember that everyone should dress plainly, it is best to dress up as a girl or a servant."

Rumeng, Ruolian, Xue'er, and Yunxi all left Xiaoxue's mansion and went back to pack their things through the covered bridge if they knew something serious happened. Someone came to report that Qin Zhehua from the hundred households of Jinyiwei, shopkeeper Chen from "Xueji Silk Cloth", and shopkeeper Du from "Sanjiang Huitong" all arrived.

Ms. Chen first met Qin Zhehua from one hundred households of Jinyiwei. Miss Chen said directly to Qin Zhehua from one hundred households of Jinyiwei: "You should know that the peace-making mission of Jianlu has arrived in the capital."

Qin Zhehua, a member of Jinyiwei's hundred households, said with some doubts, "Ma'am, I know from my humble position."

Ms. Chen said: "The peace mission of Jianlu promised the court a large amount of property and land in Liaodong in exchange for my family's life. My family is preparing to transfer the important personnel and materials of Xiaoxue's mansion out of the capital for safety. I don't know Qin Can Baihu be up to the task?"

Qin Zhehua, a hundred household in Jinyiwei, said: "The humble official has sworn allegiance to General Xue and will never go back on it. If the imperial court covets the small profits of the prisoner and offends the hero, such an imperial court will not give him allegiance. Madam, please give me an order." Bar."

Ms. Chen said: "After half an hour, you led the five concubines who used various methods to cover the general and left the capital for Xuezhuang, and then came back to cooperate with the large transfer of funds from "Xueji Silk Cloth" and "Sanjiang Huitong". After the mission is completed, you Jinyiwei's secret camp in the capital and Baisheng Tangtangkou, who were in charge, all turned from light to darkness and lurked. "

After Qin Zhehua, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, went out, Ms. Chen called in shopkeepers Chen and Du from "Xueji Silk Cloth" and "Sanjiang Huitong". To exchange my husband's life for Yihe and the land of Liaodong, the young master means to transfer all the money in the two shops out of the capital, so as not to be taken advantage of by some people."

The shopkeeper Du was the old man of the Xue family who immediately nodded and agreed, but the shopkeeper Chen of "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" asked hesitantly: "Ma'am, Jianlu is so clever that people in the court can see through it at a glance, so I shouldn't be fooled by Jianlu." .”

Ms. Chen sneered and said: "I'm afraid that someone in the court will take the opportunity to cause trouble. At that time, it is natural for the court to sacrifice a courtier for its own benefit, but for our Xue family, if we are tossed by the court once, even if we don't destroy the family, we will be punished by the court." The big guy has almost devoured it, so it must be transferred and the sooner the better."

Shopkeeper Chen of "Xueji Silk Cloth" is still hesitating. Shopkeeper Du of "Sanjiang Huitong" is anxious to pull the corner of shopkeeper Chen's clothes. Ms. Chen is a little impatient and says: "If shopkeeper Chen finds it difficult to do the job, I can arrange someone else to go deal with."

Shopkeeper Chen of "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" quickly said: "Madam misunderstood, this old man is wondering whether it is necessary to transfer it."

Ms. Chen said coldly: "Jianlu's wolf ambition and the imperial court will eventually find out that they have been fooled. It is only a matter of time before the young master is reused. Even if the court does not reuse the young master, so what. The young master has tens of thousands of soldiers in Datong in the north. You are invincible, who in the world can block the young master's thunderous blow, please think about it carefully."

Shopkeeper Chen of "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" heard Ms. Chen's words and said in cold sweat: "The old man didn't consider the capriciousness of the court officials, and arranged for the transfer as soon as he returned, so as not to let a copper coin fall into the hands of our opponents of the Xue family. It's just that if there is any accident in the old man, please be more sympathetic to my family in the future, Madam."

Miss Chen nodded and said: "Master Chen and Manager Du have finished transferring their money. You should hide your family members in Xuezhuang or other places, lest they suffer unnecessary suffering because of Xue's mansion."
