Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Chapter 104

Wei Ruolan had been prepared for a long time, and his men were well-trained. He would either hold up a shield, or take a bow and arrow to fend off the enemy. He would take out a sword and throw it to Chen Yejun, telling him to cut off the flying feathers with the sword, and he quickly He took out the bow and arrow from the saddle bag, shot back at the enemy bandits, carrying the power of thunder, piercing through the bodies of the two bandits, but Chen Yejun's subordinates couldn't help but scattered and fled.

Chen Yejun felt ashamed all over his face. Facing this catastrophe, he couldn't blame them very much, so he swung his sword vigorously to block the flying feathers and also dealt with the attack for the horse. Fortunately, the Longquan sword was extremely sharp, and the flying arrows broke when it touched it.

Wei Ruolan patted the sweaty BMW's head to keep it away from the range of the arrow rain, so as not to suffer, but she flew up.

Chen Yejun saw Wei Ruolan put down the bow without arrows, and he was like a big bird, dexterously dodging the flying arrows, and after a few ups and downs, he arrived among the gangsters, and broke a gangster's neck with his probing hands, easily killing him Caught the king of thieves who gave orders.

Wei Ruolan didn't intend to save the gangster's life, so she used the thief king as a shield to make him afraid, and then killed all directions.

He held the Longquan sword that Miaozhen had given him in the past, and when he swung it, blood and flesh flew across his face, dotted with stars, extremely bright red, like durian flowers blooming, half of the other men were guarding the convoy, Half caught up.

Daiyu was so frightened in the car that her heart was beating wildly and she was worried. After an unknown period of time, when Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore, the sound of fighting outside stopped for a while, and Wei Ruolan came to her with bloodstains all over her body. In front of the car, he said through the curtain: "Grandma, don't worry, it's already been solved. One leader was captured, more than two hundred criminals were beheaded, and only ten or twenty escaped."

Daiyu patted her heart, relieved her worry, and said, "Amitabha, have any of our people been injured? The voices outside are extremely intense, and many people are crying out in pain."

Wei Ruolan said: "Seventeen people were injured, it's not serious, twelve horses died, nothing else."

Daiyu heard that she hurriedly ordered Zijuan to go out and get the sore medicine and gauze and other things that she had brought, and asked the little eunuch to deliver them to them, and asked Wei Ruolan eagerly if she was injured, and asked him to get in the car and have a look for himself.

Wei Ruolan was covered in blood, she didn't want to get in the car, she was afraid of scaring Daiyu, said: "Grandma, don't worry, I'm not injured, I have to go to interrogate the bandit leader, and I'll get in the car to talk to grandma after cooking." After speaking, he turned around and walked to the front, picked up the bandit who had been captured alive and gagged, and walked to an open space. Although there were woods here, he was worried about his family, so he chose this place so that no one else could hear him.

Wei Ruolan still used yesterday's interrogation method, he felt that he would know some secrets that Wang Damanzi didn't know from this leader, and leading so many gangsters to robbery, his status must not be low.

This person is not actually the Qidangjia mentioned in Yicheng's mouth, but the most capable person under the Qidangjia, named Cui Hong.

Just as Yicheng said, the Qidangjia didn't plan to take the lives of their own people, but just wanted to take away the large sum of property. They knew the weight of gold and silver in this business, at least it was a few hundred thousand taels, and they listened to it. It is said that Wei Ruolan got married not long ago, her wife's dowry was extraordinarily rich, there were countless gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin alone, they got this sum, it would be enough for a year without having to sell it.

When the six subordinates who stepped on the spot did not come back, Cui Hong knew that something was wrong, but he believed that his subordinates were tough, and the lives of his family members were in his hands, so he was not afraid of their betrayal, so he chose to do it today to prevent Wei Ruolan sent those people to the government, and there was a different kind of right and wrong.Moreover, they felt that since they couldn't use smoke to rob money, if they did nothing, they would lose their money and their lives, so they ordered more than [-] subordinates to gather at the foot of Hutou Mountain to wait for the opportunity to attack.

Cui Hong knew a lot about Jiuhuanzhai and the Nine Heads, except for the Seven Heads, she didn't know who the chief village head and the other eight heads were. As for the Seventh Heads, Wei Ruolan's questions were all like beans. He told the truth, he even told where Qidang's family lived now, and he didn't hide anything.

Wei Ruolan asked about everything, and killed Cui Hong with one palm, without mercy, returned to the front of the team, and said to Chen Yejun: "This matter is of great importance, elder brother must control the servants well, don't talk too much about what we are waiting for!" With martial arts in mind."

Chen Yejun was very ashamed, and said: "Don't worry, I didn't blame them just now, I just ordered them to keep their mouths shut."

Wei Ruolan smiled and said: "It's not that I'm afraid that they will tell what my little brother did today. Those robbers should have been killed and there is no need for forgiveness. It's just that Ping'an Prefecture is not Chang'an City, and everywhere is not safe. I have been thinking about it for the past two days. Let the people in Ping'an Prefecture know that we have extraordinary skills and it is not conducive to our actions. Unfortunately, three or four thieves have escaped, I am afraid that the news will not be concealed."

Chen Yejun took it very seriously, nodded and said: "I understand, when you first arrived in Ping'an Prefecture, it's not good for them to know everything, and it's only a short time to keep it secret for a while. Thanks to you and your people today, otherwise we would have known everything earlier." I will die. Although the people under me are greedy for life and afraid of death, most of them have never encountered such a thing, and they are not ungrateful people. I chose them to follow me and I have already asked their temper. What should not be said is that they all know it, and it would be more appropriate for me to tell you again."

Just as they were talking, ten or twenty officers and soldiers who were inspecting the boundaries of Ping'an Prefecture arrived late. They were shocked when they saw corpses all over the ground. say hello.

Chen Yejun took a step back, leaving everything in front of Wei Ruolan to deal with.

It's too late to destroy the corpses and traces. Of course, it's the robbers who died. It doesn't matter if it doesn't have to be. The robbers should be killed anyway. Previously, Wei Ruolan just wanted to cover up the fact that these people are highly skilled in martial arts.

Wei Ruolan rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand to cover her waist, where a piece of dry and dark blood happened to be splashed, his face showed pain, and then turned pale, and said: "Don't be polite, we are newcomers , Suddenly encountered this calamity, fortunately brought some capable guards to fight the enemy bravely, so they didn't steal money and kill us, but they underestimated us, and died seven or eight times."

Before the officers and soldiers could say anything or ask anything, Daiyu over there got the news and ordered the eunuch to come over and say: "Our uncle was injured, and he commanded everyone to fight against the enemy with force. I'll talk about it later."

Dai Yugui is the head of the county, and the eunuchs are dressed in palace clothes, so there is no reason for those officers and soldiers not to agree.

Even though Wei Ruolan didn't want to scare Daiyu, at this moment, she had to get in the car first, pretending to apply the medicine, but actually changed her clothes and was wearing her belt. Seeing that Daiyu's eye circles were red, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Just now You saw it all, and I'm fine."

Daiyu said with tears: "Ping'an Prefecture is very chaotic. All the way, it is deserted everywhere. I don't know how many people have been displaced. What? I don’t know how those thieves colluded with the officials of Ping’an Prefecture.” After leaving the boudoir, I realized that the world is hard.

Wei Ruolan tried her best to comfort her, and said, "Don't worry, even for you, I won't hurt myself and make you sad. I'll go down and deal with those officials first. Let's talk about it later."

Naturally, Daiyu would not delay his business, she sorted out his purse and other things for him before letting him out of the car.

Wei Ruolan went out, Zijuan and others came up to accompany her.

On the way, when Wei Ruolan was riding a horse, Daiyu Chang ordered someone to invite Chen Rui over to talk, and Yinglian, who was married and took her mother to Ping'an Prefecture with Zhou Kui, but she didn't know if Wei Ruolan would come back soon. The maidservants dare not invite them over, lest they bump into them.

Daiyu asked: "Has someone asked Miss Chen and Yinglian's mother and daughter? Don't scare them."

Zijuan watched Daiyu wrap Wei Ruolan's changed clothes into the baggage with her own hands, and Daiyu refused to let her help when she wanted to help. After hearing this, she said: "I went there in person. Although they were frightened earlier, they all With Mr. Chen and Zhou Kui's reassurance, I'm fine now, but I can't see the blood outside, so I can't come to visit the girl."

Daiyu fastened the bundle and said: "I feel uncomfortable looking at it. It's not auspicious after all. When I have time to wait, I ask someone to bring a brazier over and burn it. I'm afraid it won't be clean after washing. It's better not to keep it."

Zicuckoo agreed and kept it in her heart, reminding herself to cook in due time.

The master and the servant chatted for a while, and Zijuan asked: "Why didn't the uncle send someone to report to Ping'an Prefecture first? It should also be called Liu Erye to welcome Mr. Chen and Miss Chen. I asked Niu Fang and the others, It is said that we will reach Ping'an Prefecture in one or two days."

Daiyu sighed: "Silly girl, Ping'an Prefecture is in such a mess, there are more than 100 people in our group, and even if we encounter robbers, let alone the servants who deliver the letter? Going alone to deliver the letter, even if three or two people are together, when encountering groups of people I don’t know if the gangsters can save their lives. Although our servants are better, they are outnumbered.”

Zijuan said: "What the girl said is true, but I didn't expect it. This place is really not safe. It's strange that when we said we came, the old lady was so worried, and she knew it in her heart."

Speaking of Jiamu, Daiyu said, "Grandmother's [-]th birthday will be in two more months."

Zijuan was startled, she had forgotten about it, and asked unconsciously: "Since the girl remembers, why didn't you prepare a birthday gift to honor the old lady before leaving Beijing? In this way, it will save you the trouble of traveling."

Daiyu said: "It's already ready, a glass screen, an ebony Guanyin statue, and some needles and threads, I will give them to Uncle Lin and Mother Lin for storage, and I will send them to my grandmother's birthday. I thought I would prepare them at that time." , It’s a bit disrespectful, I’ll wait until I’m in Ping’an Prefecture to see if there are any good gifts to send there, but thinking that Ping’an Prefecture is not stable, I gave up my original plan.”

Zijuan was even more surprised, and said: "Miss has already prepared it? I didn't know it. It seems that I haven't fulfilled my duty."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Silly girl, when I was preparing the birthday gift, you just went home to say goodbye to your parents, and I forgot to tell you afterwards, how do you know?" When Jia's mother arranged for her to accompany her when she got married, she asked for Zijuan's family and Chunxian's family. In addition, there was a dowry girl, Xiaoqing, and her family. Xiaoqing was the little girl in her room. When she entered the mansion, she followed her, and Lin Tao and his wife happened to be four.

After hearing this, Zijuan knew that she was not negligent, so she breathed a sigh of relief, which made Daiyu smile even more, stretched out her hand to poke her forehead, and said, "It's not like this."

Everything was in order outside, Wei Ruolan sent someone to tell her about the departure, but the master and servant covered up the topic.

Since they were robbers, they were all arrested by the yamen. With Wei Ruolan's consent, those officers and soldiers cut off their heads and tied them on a rope and brought them into the city to perform meritorious service. The remaining bodies were buried on the spot so as not to scare passers-by.

Chen Yejun only felt disgusted, and after the officers and soldiers left, Fang said to Wei Ruolan: "This Ping'an Prefecture is really not a simple place. When these officers and soldiers chopped off the robber's head, they didn't have any fear at all, but they couldn't hide it. I can't hold back the excitement on my face. I see that these officers and soldiers walk vigorously, if they gather more, they may not be able to fight against the bandits."

Wei Ruolan said indifferently: "If the officials in Ping'an Prefecture wanted to suppress the bandits, His Majesty would not have sent me here. Only now did I know that the situation in Ping'an Prefecture is dangerous, and suppressing the bandits has become an urgent matter."

Getting on his horse and ordering people to set off, Fang turned his head to Chen Yejun and said, "After finishing Erlang's marriage, you should go back to Beijing earlier."

Chen Yejun was also afraid that he would cause trouble to Wei Ruolan, so he nodded hurriedly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "You have to help me when the time comes, at least you have to send me out of the border of Ping'an Prefecture, I'm really scared."

Wei Ruolan smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if I don't see you off, your brother-in-law will escort you away."

Maybe it was the news that they had killed more than two hundred bandits, and they did not encounter any robbers during the next day or two. Before they had time to exchange greetings, someone sent by the governor of Ping'an Prefecture came forward to say hello and sent a message to Wei Ruolan with both hands.

Wei Ruolan took it in her hand, opened it, and said with a smile: "When I first arrived in Ping'an Prefecture, I should go to meet the Jiedu Envoy, how dare I bother the Jiedu Envoy to hold a banquet for me?"

The sender bowed and said with a smile: "The general has the heavy responsibility of suppressing the bandits, and it can be regarded as the arrival of an angel. My lord said, it should be so."

Wei Ruolan said: "The road is full of wind and dust, and there is no place to settle down. I am afraid that adults will laugh at me. Please report to Lord Jiedu. After I and the county master clean up, I will go to your request."

The sender agreed with all his heart, and then invited Wei Ruolan to enter the city.

Liu Xianglian knew the news of Wei Ruolan's coming from the mansion newspaper, and also passed on the news with the help of Emperor Changtai. Unfortunately, she didn't know the exact date of Wei Ruolan's arrival, so she took the robber's head from those people. Only then did the officers and soldiers who exchanged rewards learn about it.Wei Ruolan asked him to buy a house, and he had already ordered someone to clean it up and lay things out.

Daiyu was busy cleaning the house, installing the utensils, arranging the servants and servants, and preparing guest rooms for Chen Yejun and Chen Rui, but Liu Xianglian had already prepared the house, and the brothers and sisters moved in. next door.

Liu Xianglian was also anxious to get married, but he was too busy with affairs in Ping'an Prefecture and could not return to Beijing. Fortunately, the Chen family was reasonable and asked Chen Yejun to send Chen Rui over to marry him. As for the new house, the wedding house, and the dowry matchmaker, Liu Xianglian has money in hand, so she has already made preparations, and just waits for the auspicious day to welcome her in person.

Wei Ruolan knew she was in a hurry, after listening to him talk about the situation in Ping'an Prefecture, she asked her husband and wife to help with the marriage, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I take your matter to heart, and I will wait for the arrival of Master Zhang, the envoy of the past festival." Let’s talk about the dust-cleaning banquet.”

Wei Ruolan replied to the post, and brought Daiyu to meet Jiedu envoy Zhang Kuang and his wife the next day.

Zhang Kuang hosted a banquet outside Zhang’s house. Zhang Kuang invited officials at all levels from Ping’an Prefecture and the surrounding states to accompany him. As a Jiedu envoy, he was in charge of affairs not only in Ping’an Prefecture, but also in four surrounding state capitals, a total of five prefectures. He was extremely powerful. Later, Mrs. Zhang invited family members of officials at all levels to accompany her. When she first saw Daiyu, everyone was amazed.

Although Daiyu is young, she is very calm, besides, she often goes to and from the palace, and she has a certain grace and demeanor, she offers her salutes in a graceful and graceful manner, and she is not overwhelmed by the aura of your orders.

Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to accept Daiyu's gift, so after each saluted in return, she held Daiyu in her arms and said, "I heard that the county magistrate is very compassionate, and he has a legacy of Lin Gong. He gave away several 10 taels of silver, which is admirable." Speaking of which, our family has a lot of contacts with Ling's grandfather's house, and I always wanted to see the county magistrate, but our master didn't bring me to Beijing when he went to Beijing to report on his duties. The Lord has actually come here, so we should kiss each other even more.”

Daiyu smiled shyly, and said: "I just relied on my father's shadow to obtain this status. How can I have half the demeanor of my late father? I can't afford such praise from my wife." With a smile on her face, she was surprised in her heart. Few, Emperor Changtai said earlier that he would not let outsiders know, how did they know?Although he later donated lottery prizes, the amount was small.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "The county lord is too humble. If you don't have the demeanor of Mr. Lin, who in the world can?" She told everyone about the feat of Lin Ruhai's family donating to the court and Daiyu also donating 10 taels of silver.

Everyone was horrified, and couldn't help but praise him endlessly.

Mrs. Daiyu Xindaozhang really knew it, but she didn't know who else knew about it. After all, she had heard from Wei Ruolan that Emperor Changtai was afraid that the Rongguo Mansion would not treat him well, so Fang only said that Wei Ruolan donated. Didn't mention myself.

Even if she was full of doubts, Daiyu refused to reveal the slightest, shyly listened to everyone's words, and was always very humble.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled even wider, and treated Daiyu more kindly and kindly. The conversation here was warm. After three rounds of drinking, everyone let go of their restraint and were very wild when they were drinking together. Zhang Kuang patted Daiyu lightly. After a few hands, drums and music sounded, and a group of beauties in tulle dresses filed in, singing and dancing like poetry and picturesque.
