Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"Well, yes. Xing Hongniang obeyed Wang Puyan, shook her sleeves, and the meteor hammer in her hand rattled, and more than 20 sons and brothers and gangs were afraid of female power, and they actually fled one after another.

Or after seeing too much of this scene, Xing Hongniang ignored them and went straight to lead the horse. Wang Pu conveniently rode a horse with Xing Hongniang and hurried towards the city gate.

The

soldiers defending the city heard a noise in the city from afar, but they could not hear it really, and the sound of horses' hooves became more and more obvious, and they were puzzled, and they saw a man and woman rushing towards them on horseback. Just as he was wondering, another sharp-eyed man saw that the woman had a weapon in her hand and shouted: "Is this a pair of thieves, armed with sharp blades, killing people?" "

All the soldiers surrounded one after another, raising their guns and preparing to stab, and heard the sound of gongs and drums, but it was the helpers who also rode horses from behind, and shouted while beating gongs, killing people, the third master of the Gao family was killed, don't let go of the murderers.

As soon as they heard that the third master of Gao had harmed someone, then the man and woman were righteous men, and the soldiers slacked off one after another, shouting, the thief is powerful, flee for his life. The soldiers actually let go of the city gate together, Xing Hongniang was overjoyed, these soldiers were wearing leather armor, and it didn't work very well with a meteor hammer, I thought it would be a vicious battle, how did I know that there was such a good thing, and the whip pierced through the city gate at the moment.

Out of the

city gate, Wang Pu turned his head to look at the distant Tongxu County, his heart was mixed, it turned out that the people's hearts were like this, the decent people of the Ming Dynasty were so unbearable, and the last days were like this, and a little bit of grudges converged into a torrent, and finally thirteen years later, the Ming Dynasty was defeated, and the Han family died for the second time in a foreign race.

"It's not them who are at fault, it's us. Wang Pu muttered, meat eaters are despised, without the usual arrogance and lasciviousness of these magnates, full of evil and oppressive goodness, how could the Ming Dynasty not gather people's hearts and finally be defeated by the Jurchen tribe with a population of less than one million. At this moment, Wang Pu actually had the intention of rebellion, if he could take away Chongzhen's throne, would it be better.

"Huh?" Xing Hongniang was confused when she heard this sudden whisper.

"I mean, the rich and powerful are bad, and it's no wonder that everyone rebels. "

"Hey, husband, do you know that you didn't go to the street in the past, such a boy is the most hateful, harming people every day, my master and sister were killed by them. Tsk, I don't dare to say these evil things. "

"I understand. Wang Pu can imagine that he has only been a low-level citizen of the Ming Dynasty for a few days, and he has encountered a classic bullying of men and women.

However, at this moment, it is too early to say that it is out of danger, there is wind and sand behind her, Xing Hongniang looked back, and secretly shouted that it was not good, the team in the city chased after her, and she was two people riding together, but she couldn't get rid of it.

"It was the hammer that killed the man. Xing Hongniang regretted it and said: "After I stay, you ride a horse and go first, go to the foot of Guanyin Mountain to find Tang San, if you don't find it, you will go to Mengjin County Baihe Ferry to meet, and you won't be separated." "

"Huh?" Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, fell into a dilemma, and separated from Xing Hongniang, he could go to the Shenjia camp and return to his position as he wished. But to break through the Ming Dynasty alone, this is unprecedented since the crossing, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

"Husband, you have to live. Xing Hongniang is the daughter of the rivers and lakes, never dragged the mud and water, stopped the horse after saying that, turned over and went to the ground, and then patted the horse's legs, fortunately, Wang Pu crossed to practice equestrianism with logistics, and the horse turned over the hooves to resume, he hurriedly stabilized his body, and glanced back at the slender straight-legged beautiful lady who was getting along these days, he could no longer take this female thief as an enemy.

Xing Hongniang watched Wang Pu leave, she was inexplicably sad in her heart, this man left like this, leaving her as a wife, maybe she was just a wild woman in the eyes of this man, but as a woman, there was a choice in her life, she chose, and she could only accept her fate. Lifting the meteor hammer, he shouted loudly and greeted the pursuers.

Wang Pu

ran more than ten miles from the official road, the horse was tired, refused to run, he dismounted and led, the side of the road is a lot of farmers in the field house, walked for a while, Wang Pu finally mustered up the courage to ask the road, this road leads to the eighteen-mile town.

I should go east and find the Shenjia Battalion, but is the Shenjia Battalion still in Kaifeng Fuqi County? Wang Pu was in a dilemma, so he had to go to the Baihe Ferry in Mengjin County and wait. Wang Pu thought about it, and finally decided to go north to Baihe Ferry. Because at this time, most of the Shenjia battalion is also waiting for rabbits at the ferry.

However, after asking for directions, I realized that Mengjin County was behind me. At this time, it is too dangerous to turn around, and if you bump into a pursuer, it will be bad to recognize it. Wang Pu decided to go to a nearby farmhouse for the night first, and then turn back tomorrow, the pursuers would never chase for a day and night.

He looked for a good house nearby, went to buckle the door, opened the door is an old man, saw Wang Pu's face was pink, was taken aback, and saw that he stepped on the official boots, frightened, and exclaimed: "The people of the government are coming, come, come to me for something, I don't owe taxes." "

"Huh?" Wang Pu was also speechless, why did this guy see at a glance that he was from the government, so he said: "Old man, I am not from the government, I came here to spend the night, I have silver." "

"Yes, yes. When the old man heard Wang Pu's kind words, he believed seven or eight points. turned angry and said: "Xiao Lao'er used to be a dart master, and he has been to the border town a few times, son, your boots are official boots, or purple piping, the shape of a three-grade general, this can't be worn casually, show it to the government, it's not a joke." "

"That's my friend's, no problem. When Wang Pu heard this, he knew that there were still these rules for boots, so it was no wonder that his boots were always made by craftsmen and not mixed with others.

"You can't say that. The old man was skeptical when he heard this, but if this is true, then the origin of this son is not small, and most of them are the children of official eunuchs. It's suspicious that he just came out alone, and he didn't even have a servant.

At this time, an old woman called out from the house: Old man, what are you rubbing, come and peel the beans, and you will be in the pot.

The old man replied: Oh, you wait a minute.

"Little Lao'er, surnamed Mei, if the son doesn't dislike it, there is also a room empty, pick it up, and visitors can use it. "

"Mr. Mei, the boy's surname is Li. Wang Pu smiled with a smile.

Entering the house, I caught a glimpse of a large family sitting around the window, Wang Pu and them were stunned, the old woman didn't move to ask, Old Man Mei preemptively spoke: "This son is coming to spend the night, after you finish eating, hurry up to clean up the room in the left wing, and the bedding must be dried before daring to receive guests." "

turned around and said to Wang Pu: "This is the cheap, this is my second son and second daughter-in-law, this is the eldest daughter-in-law." "

"Old lady, brother, brother and sister-in-law. Wang Pu hurriedly bowed his hand and said one by one.

"Oh, don't dare to be, Childe knows that he is a noble person at a glance, how can I have the confidence to call myself a wife, Childe will call me a wife. The old woman hurriedly waved her hand.

"Old lady Shi. Wang Pu was alone for the first time, and he was extremely cautious, and the etiquette was unconsciously extremely thorough.

But he was still too tired, and he galloped all the way, and was affected by the wind, and the cold and illness on his body were even more recurrent. Sitting on the sidelines, his head drooping. When Mrs. Shi saw it, she hurriedly motioned to Er'er to help Wang Pu to the left wing.

Wait for the second child to come back and say that the guest is asleep. Mrs. Shi asked, "Who is this person, have you inquired clearly?" "

"It should be a military family from the nine sides, and there are officials in the family. Old man Mei estimated.

"That's not going to be a desertion, but it's not like it, you see if he's leading the way. "

"No, I'm not an official or a government, where can I say it. "

"If there is a lawsuit, you will

look good, you are not unaware, the Luo family stares at our fields every day, as long as we fall into the well, their Luo family will come down the stone on the back foot, hoping that we will not be able to live, and try to buy our fields cheaply, I think this person is a little weird, I am afraid that there will be lawsuits. "

"It's a bit weird, but you see that this year's conscription is coming, the eldest son is dead, and I really can't bear to send the second son to death. This person stays overnight, and if he is willing to give money, we can use this money to offset the forced labor. Old man Mei said with a bitter face, since the emperor named King Fu, the conscription has become more and more onerous, building a palace and carrying big wood, and many people have to die every year. His eldest son is to repair the Xingqing Palace for the Fu King died in vain, the official government gave the saying that the tiles fell to the head and smashed to death, and the companion came back and said that he was smashing the bricks and feet, and could not carry things, and was beaten to death by the evil slaves of the Fu King, but the corpse was also burned, and the government said that what was it, and what else could the grass people do. Such a tragic situation is not limited to their family, how can the royal style care about the death of the villain.

Thinking of the

tragic death of the eldest child, Shi Po's eyes finally dimmed, and she only sat down slowly and cried silently. Old man Mei sighed on the side and said: "What can I do with my duty, can I live, my son died a miserable death, and he died unjustly, this is the fate of his own people." "It's like persuading my wife, but it's also like persuading myself.

Wang Pu was sick and suffered from the cold, but also frightened, without Xing Hongniang's meticulous service, it was difficult for his body to recover for a while. I thought I could set off to the ferry early tomorrow morning, but he had a splitting headache and almost couldn't get out of bed, he saw a doctor in the county a few days ago, and the recipe was still kept, so he had to buy some herbs to cure the cold.

Boiling soup and swallowing it, it was past noon in the blink of an eye, so I had to rest the entanglement of going and staying, and only wait for tomorrow, but there was no Xing Hongniang snuggled in her arms at night to warm up. The house is not well protected from the wind, and the wind and cold are not getting better.

He was bedridden for another day, and on the third day, the so-called long nights and many dreams, Wang Pu didn't know how much it cost to delay these three days. The news of Li Xin's rebellion in Qi County finally spread here, this is an inevitable trend, Wang Pu should have thought of it, but he was troubled by the illness in the past two days, and he did not realize it in time. Part of it is also because Wang Pu is not Li Xin in the first place, and he is separated by a layer, so he is not transparent when he encounters things, and he is easy to be confused.

Ordinary people just know that there is a person named Li Xin in Linxian who gathered a crowd to rebel, but the gentry has a lot of eyes and ears, and he can know the details in detail, it turns out that Li Xin escaped from prison in the chaos that day, and he doesn't know where to go, and the thief army occupies the county seat, but the group of dragons has no leader, and they quickly disperse.

On a cloudy and uncertain day, it became more and more cold, the eaves outside the curtain were hung down, the ice was hung into beads, and it fell into the broken Qiong chaotic jade, Huang Gongzi of Tongxu County was smashing a small cricket with a wine bottle, two times at a time, shattering the carapace, three times and four times, and the thick juice flowed out. Slightly drunk, it is not uncommon to use ten taels of silver for the baby, only joked: "The young man doesn't need you anymore, what's the use of keeping you." "

The young master of

mercy surprised the scholar on the side, this young man usually beats and scolds the subordinate to leave a sense of proportion, to be elegant and decent, once he is punished by the master, what is the young master who has been wronged, the little concubine who was killed in the past was buried in the grave with his own hands, if she can still speak, Xu is tears can not be finished.

This time he was punished by the master and grounded, which is not a small punishment, and how dangerous it is to accompany the young master at this moment, the scholar only felt a slight chill in his ears, and big beads of sweat went down his earlobes into the collar.

"Less, young master, wine should not be eaten dry, I will buy you the jujube cake of Babiyuan, Dongxiang water tofu, and the candied fruit of Sanli'an, these are all foods you like, and you can only taste it when you buy it with wine." "

"Bastard fart, oblique minions, do you see my jokes, so you have to rush out and talk about it. Young Master Huang wanted to choose someone to devour, but his handsome face turned hideous at this moment, and he said angrily: "Hmph, say, no wonder Young Master, I was degraded outside, it turned out that you were doing it." "

"Young master, even if a slave has 100,000 guts, he doesn't dare to do such a heartless thing behind his master's back. "The scholar is a clever man, and he is busy kowtowing, and he touches the ground with his head, and blood froth on the ground and forehead in a few clicks.

"Dog minion, who is the show for. Huang Gongzi stepped forward and kicked him, which was not light, kicking the scholar up a heel. But the scholar was relieved, rolled five or six steps away, and got up again under the threshold, so he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Young Master Xie rewarded this kick." The blood foam was still on the face, like an oil cake, and with this smile, the shallow lines dissipated, and the deep gathered into thick beads. It's obviously weird, but it's inexplicably cunning and interesting.

"If you are a dead king, you will make a show and sell miserably, and deceive me with a good heart. Huang Gongzi was amused by his funny spirit, so he stopped thinking about fighting to death.

"Young master, don't worry, I'll inquire, everyone has suffered this big loss, and the thief couple has fled to the ends of the earth, and they have to be pulled out, chopped up and fed to the dogs. But at this time, the dragons are leaderless, and you still need to give you an idea. "

"It doesn't matter if the man lives or dies, the woman wants to live, pick off the tendons and tendons, and keep them for me. "

"Yes, young master. The boy had a hairy spine on his back, but his face was full of flattering smiles.

Leaving the young master's house, the scholar breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the blood marks on his forehead, only felt a burst of spicy, and bitter, the young master only said that he wanted to live, but there was no one at this time, where did he come from. However, according to the young master's temper, he couldn't find a living mouth, and sooner or later he would be reduced to death.

There were officials in a hurry in the corridor of the courtyard of the yamen, and the scholar was very puzzled, so he stopped a scribe and asked, "What's the matter, there is an official here today?"

"How can there be an official coming, at this time, the eight sedan chairs don't dare to invite people to come, it is Li Xin of Linxian County who rebelled. "

"Rebellion, who is this Li Xin, I haven't heard of it. "

"Go, go, you know what. "

"I don't understand, but my young master does, or I'll ask him to come and ask you personally. "

"Don't, don't, let me tell you, Li Xin is a wealthy family in Qixian County, I heard that his father is still a courtier of the former emperor, such a person rebelled, hey, it's rare. "

"What, how capable the Hao family is, who doesn't know, at most a few family members, hundreds of villagers, I look at your battle, and I think Li Xin is a general of the army." "This scholar has been in the yamen for a long time, and he has seen a lot.

"You know what a fart, Li Xin is a well-known scholar, this kind of character rebels, you should be joking, as long as he votes for the thief army, it will be endless troubles, he is no better than those rogues who don't know a few big words, as long as he enters the camp of the rogues and is reused by the leader, from then on, the rogues will be like a tiger with wings, and its momentum will be difficult to control. "

"Oops, that's amazing. The scholar was stunned at this time, and asked again: "We are only 100 miles away from Qixian County, will we call, what should we do?" "

"You can rest assured, although Li Xin captured the county seat of Qixian, he did not defend the city, but dismissed his subordinates and absconded by himself. "

"Then why, the city that is so easy to take down is not needed before it is hot. "

"So you don't understand, Qixian is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are countless officers and soldiers around, there is no danger to defend, there is no mountain to hide, he doesn't run, isn't he looking for death. This kind of character is decisive, brain-clear, not trivial, Kaifeng Mansion has been ordered, a reward of 5,000 taels of silver, must be arrested. Our county happens to be located in the west of Qi County, and if Li Xin wants to join the Liukou in Shanxi and Shaanxi, it is possible to attack our county. "
