[Chapter 2127 Tie Kui Fanwai (51)]
Hearing Yunqing deploying troops to attack Liaodong, Ning Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been looking forward to the imperial court sending troops to Liaodong, so that Tiehu would not have to hide in the mountains all the time. Even if you won’t be cold and hungry, life in the mountains is hard, and Iron Tiger is getting older, so it’s better to go down the mountain earlier.
Yunqing Yu drove personally, and the army was like a broken bamboo. It didn’t take long for the army to take Anshan.
The war is going on, and the general who leads the troops will definitely not be able to leave at this time. Ning Hai asked A Shao, a personal guard, to bring six guards to Tiejia Village: “You take them to the mountain and take the old man down the mountain.”
Ah Shao has been to Tiejia Village three times and knows how to get there, so he nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle, I will definitely take him down the mountain in good condition at the end.”
As Shao walked on the front foot, and Ning Hai followed the army on the back foot to continue to attack the next city.
Every time the army goes to a place, it will snatch the local officials and the wealthy squires who are domineering and domineering for the rich. When it comes to Anshan, it is no exception. The Shao family was also on the search list.
When the officers and soldiers came to raid the house, the Shao family stopped him. As a result, the whole family was bundled into zongzi by officers and soldiers. Shao’s mother, who was scolding, was directly stuffed with a rag by a soldier.
The family business that he had worked so hard to save was about to be emptied, and Shao Lili suddenly shouted: “This official, I don’t know if you know Tie Kui.”
Among the officers and soldiers, there was really one who had heard of Tie Kui’s name. Immediately putting down the box he was carrying, he asked strangely, “Do you know Tie Kui?”
Shao Lichen grabbed the driftwood like a drowning man and said, “He’s my brother-in-law.”
Another soldier asked, “Who is Tie Kui? Is he famous?” If he wasn’t famous, his buddy wouldn’t know.
The soldier who spoke first smiled and said, “Tie Kui is Anyang Boninghai. He is the uncle of the Empress.”
After finishing speaking, the man looked at Shao Lili and said, “You said that Tie Kui is your brother-in-law, doesn’t it mean that your daughter-in-law is the queen’s aunt?”
Shao Lili didn’t know Tie Kui’s true identity at all, and was stunned for three minutes when he heard the words of the two soldiers. But when he came back to his senses, he immediately said: “Tie Kui is my brother-in-law. Everyone in the county knows about this. If the official doesn’t believe it, you can ask.” He’ll figure it out later.
The soldier who spoke first hesitated, but went to their immediate superior.
The boss knew a lot about this, so he couldn’t help laughing when he heard it: “The mother family of the Empress is the only survivor of Uncle Anyang.”
The soldier said, “He said that people in the entire county knew that Tie Kui was his brother-in-law, so it shouldn’t be false. Besides, I don’t think he has the guts to deceive us.”
The boss pondered for a while and said, “Seal their belongings. If Uncle Anyang asks for the property in the future, he will return it to them.” them.
Not only the valuable things in the Shao family were emptied, but the shops and fields were also confiscated by the government. The officers and soldiers gave them a house to live in. In fact, the Shao family is pretty good, but someone died after taking the medicine they sold. Like other wealthy squires who have done many bad things, the owner of the house and the perpetrator are directly beheaded, and all property, including the house where they live, is confiscated. As for where these people live, these officers and soldiers don’t care.
Shao Lili watched Mother Shao and her second daughter-in-law sitting on the ground crying, and said angrily: “Why are you crying? I didn’t hear those officers and soldiers saying that your uncle is now Uncle Anyang. Go and ask your uncle, our family. The property must be returned.”
The second daughter-in-law lowered her head and said nothing. Although this uncle is said to be Uncle Anyang, it is unknown whether he will help to get the property back. It’s just that, she didn’t say it.
When Ah Shao went to Tiejia Village, he knew that Tiehu and his party were still on the mountain when he saw that the tables and chairs in the house were covered with dust. At Ninghai’s order, Ashao went to Ershui.
Ershui has long heard that the army is about to come in, and is looking forward to Tie Kui’s return! Seeing Ah Shao, Er Shui was overjoyed: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to Brother Tiehu and Chunni.”
Chunni is picking vegetables in the vegetable garden with her daughter-in-law. It is also a tiring job to prepare meals for more than ten people every day.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were picking vegetables when they suddenly heard the barking of the wolf dog. Chun Ni hurriedly walked forward with a vegetable basket.
As soon as he arrived at the front yard, he saw Ashao wearing a majestic military uniform and six guards who wore military uniforms like him.
Chun Ni was so happy that the baskets fell: “A Shao, did Kuizi send you to pick us down the mountain?” In all these years, except for going to the town to buy necessities such as salt, oil and grain, they dared not go down the mountain again. However, this does not mean that they are willing to stay on the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, if you lack anything, just go to the town to buy it. And here, money can’t buy anything, it’s too inconvenient. Sometimes I want to eat dumplings with oil residue, but I don’t have it.
A Shao smiled and nodded: “Yes. Second aunt, uncle sent us to pick you up and go down the mountain with your grandfather.”
Tie Hu hurriedly asked, “A Shao, is Kui Zi okay?” Although Tie Kui was said to be Uncle Anyang now, Tie Kui was still worried about him.
A Shao nodded and said, “Don’t worry, my grandfather. Uncle is very good now. The emperor and the empress rely on him very much. Now, he is following the emperor to attack Shengjing. When the battle is over, he will come back to visit you.”
“He’s busy so he doesn’t have to come back.” Knowing that his son was safe, Tie Hu was relieved.
It was dark at this time, and it was not suitable to travel. Therefore, Ashao and his party stayed in the mountains, preparing to travel tomorrow morning.
Chun Ni asked curiously: “A Shao, I heard that the Queen’s concubine is domineering and very fierce. A Shao, is this true?”
As Shao heard the words and smiled: “Second auntie, those rumors are not credible. The Empress is very gentle and kind. I don’t know how many people have received her favor. By the way, the Empress is very gentle.”
Chunni: …This is not one person at all from what she heard!
As Shao looked at Chunni’s appearance and said, “Seeing is believing, but hearing is false. When you have a chance to meet the Empress in the future, you will know whether what I said is true or false.”
Chun Ni said with a look of surprise: “You mean, is it possible for me to go to the Empress?”
Asho paused for a moment, but still told the truth: “The Empress is very busy with the affairs of the state, even if the uncle has nothing to do, he will not be able to see the Empress.” The second aunt has nothing to do with the Empress, so she probably won’t be able to see her.
Chunni looked disappointed.
Seeing this, Ah Shao said, “The Empress will raise her son as her own son. Maybe the Empress will come to participate when the son gets married.” This thing is also uncertain.
After hearing this, Chun Ni felt that something was wrong and asked, “When did Fang Hui and Fang Jia raise the Queen?”
“It’s not the eldest young master and the second young master, it’s the third young master.” Seeing everyone looking at him, A Shao said, “The third young master was born by his wife. At that time, the uncle was afraid that his identity would be revealed and the whole family would be poisoned by Yan Wushuang, so he took the third young master away. Hide it and send it to the northwest.”
Chun Ni said, “So that’s the case. What’s that child’s name?”
A Shao glanced at Tie Hu, and said cautiously, “The surname of the eldest son is Ning and his name is Zhan. And the uncle, he has also changed his original name to Ning Hai.”
Tie Hu knew that Tie Kui had changed back to his original name long ago, but he didn’t know that he had a direct son until now. However, in the countryside, there is no difference between the sons and daughters.
When sleeping at night, Chun Ni tossed and turned on the bed. In the end, she woke up Duan Dongzi who had fallen asleep and said, “When we go down the mountain, the first thing is to bring back everything that was stolen from my house.”
Duan Dongzi had a good temper, and he didn’t lose his temper when he was woken up: “Okay.” It was his family’s thing, so naturally he had to come back.
Chun Ni shook her head again and said, “No, I don’t want anything because they have used it. I will convert it all into silver. If not, I will never finish with them.”
“good.”
Chunni said again: “Er Shui said that all the fields in my family were taken away by those shameless people. After going down the mountain, the fields must be recovered.” Their fields are all good.
Duan Dongzi said: “Not only do the fields have to be returned, but this year’s land rent must also be recovered.” The family’s fields are the lifeblood of Duan Dongzi. The field was robbed, and this matter has always been in his mind.
Chunni nodded and said, “You’re right, you have to ask for the rent for the past few years.” Otherwise, it would be a big loss.
The couple murmured and said that they only fell asleep in the middle of the night. Of course, not only Duan Dongzi and his wife, but also Hongbo and his wife also said what Xiao Bansu said. However, they were not talking about the fields at home.
Mrs. Fu whispered to Hongbo: “Master, tell your grandfather after you go down the mountain that you want to find an errand in the county government.” Mrs. Fu is a girl from the county town, and her aunt is Mr. Hongbo’s wife.
Because Mrs. Fu’s mother was unreliable, she saw that Hongbo was good in all aspects and made this matchmaker.
Chun Ni had met Fu once, and seeing that she was gentle and personable, she immediately agreed to the marriage. If this eldest daughter-in-law has a bad temper, the family will have to jump around. Therefore, even if Mrs. Fu could not do field work, she agreed to the marriage. Facts have proved that this daughter-in-law is indeed married. In the past few years, she has been working with Chunni in the fields with her child every day. Even if she is pregnant, she has not stopped for a few days, but she has never complained.
Hongbo understood what Fu meant, hesitated and said, “This is not good.”
Fu said, “Just find an errand that you are capable of, and I think grandfather will definitely agree.”
Seeing that Hongbo was still hesitating, Mrs Fu said: “Xiang Gong, you have to think about Dabao and the others. If they want to keep farming in the countryside, Dabao and the others will have to shave food in the fields all their lives. When they grow up, they can only Marry a girl from the village. But if you can work in the yamen, it will be good for Dabao’s future. In the future, Dabao can also marry a girl in the city.”
As a parent, it’s basically children. Hearing this, Hongbo said, “I’ll write to my uncle when I get down the mountain, and tell my uncle about it.” Since it was his own business, he said it himself. Asking my grandfather to ask for help seems very irresponsible.
A smile appeared on Fu’s face.
Seeing her so happy, Hongbo said, “Don’t hold out your hopes too much, maybe my uncle doesn’t agree!”
Fu felt that they did not make excessive demands, and Tie Kui should agree. But thinking so in his heart, he said, “If my uncle doesn’t agree, there must be some difficulties for him.”
Hongbo nodded in relief and said, “That’s it.”
