Xu Wu was silent, and the room suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, Xu Wucai said, "How kind the princess was before, but now she has become so terrible. Foster father, I'm really worried..."
Huo Changqing understood what Xu Wu meant. He was worried that Han Yuxi would become a person like Wu Lu, and even his own flesh and blood would be able to kill him for the sake of power: "What you are worried about will never happen."
Xu Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Foster father, the world is unpredictable." Who can imagine that the princess who had the heart of a bodhisattva back then can now use the refugees to achieve his own goals.
In fact, Xu Wu knew that Yuxi was not wrong intellectually, but emotionally he just couldn't accept it. Every time I see Yuxi, this kind of thought will come to mind.
Seeing Huo Changqing looking at him, Xu Wu bit his scalp and said, "It will be too late when it comes."
"Then what do you want? Let Zaozao her mother surrender power and return to the backyard?"
Xu Wu knew very well that Yun Qing would not agree to let Yuxi hand over power.
After a long time, Xu Wu said: "Foster father, I know I may be thinking too much, but I just can't control it. I am even worried that Yu Cong's words will become reality." He didn't believe that Yu Cong was about to die before. However, after the disaster victims, he began to worry.
Huo Changqing didn't know what to say anymore. After a long time of trouble, it turned out to be influenced by Yu Cong. After thinking about it, Huo Changqing said: "Don't forget that the military power is in Yun Qing's hands. Although Zaozao's mother is majestic, but without Yun Qing behind her back, she can't control the overall situation. With Yun Qing in her hands. , What you are worried about will not happen at all."
After a pause, Huo Changqing said again: "Zaozao and her mother once told Yun Qing that when A Hao can stand alone, she will abdicate and let Xian live a relaxed life for two days. Yun Qing is in good health and will live a second life. Ten years is no problem. With Ah Hao’s qualifications, it only takes ten years at most to be alone."
Xu Wu didn't know about this: "Foster father, did the prince tell you this personally?"
"Well, it was what Yun Qing said personally. You don't believe in Zaozao's mother, you should also believe in Yun Qing." This is why Huo Changqing is so relieved.
Xu Wu's heart was finally let go.
Huo Changqing said: "Since Zaozao is willing to let you be the leader of the imperial army, this is also an opportunity. You can't stay in the palace for the rest of your life." Dajun and Cui Mo are second-tier generals with heavy forces in their hands. Only from the third grade, far behind them. Now I don't think there is anything, the gap will show up when the world is settled and the practice is closed.
Xu Wu did not refuse again this time: "Okay." The princess saw through his thoughts and felt suspicion. It is not a wise move to stay in the palace again.
Xu Wu has been engaged in intelligence for so many years, it is still not difficult for him to find people. In two days, he found the three assassins who assassinated Fu Minglang.
What people didn't expect was that these three people were hiding in the secret cellar of Hu's Second Master's Courtyard.
Yuxi asked, "Hu's family? Shouldn't it? If Hu's family were from Yan Wushuang, the donation would not be so generous that day." The most important thing is that Hu's family has always been good and shouldn't be a villain with Yan Wushuang's embarrassment. .
Xu Wu respectfully said: "Master Hu didn't know about it, it was done by Hu Er. Master Hu Er was poisoned, and he hid these assassins in order to survive."
As soon as Yuxi heard it, he knew that this old Hu Er was a person who was greedy for life and fear of death. Otherwise, it is impossible to harbor these assassins. Because harbouring felons is a crime and family members. This is also why those people don't poison the Hu family, because only those who are afraid of death will disregard the consequences.
Xu Wu said: "This Hu Er master comes to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but he doesn't do business. However, the old lady of the Hu family spoils this little son and follows him in everything. These years, the Hu Er master has made a lot of things outside. It was all the Hu family elders who helped him solve it."
Yuxi sneered; "Lady Hu will die." Hu Er's behavior has already harmed the entire family.
Xu Wu hesitated and said, "Wang Hao, the old man of the Hu family has helped our army vigorously before, and this time he has donated enthusiastically. Wang Hao, see if you can help." The Hu family has done so many things for them now. Because of the improper behavior of the second master of the Hu family, he killed all the members of the Hu family, which will inevitably make people feel chilling.
If it was before, Yuxi wouldn't think too much. But now Xu Wu thinks she is cruel, and now it makes Yuxi very uncomfortable to say this. Yuxi glanced at Xu Wu and said coldly: "Are you teaching me to do things?"
Those eyes seemed to be able to see through him. Xu Wu's heart shuddered, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It's the minister who has overstepped."
Yuxi calmed down and said, "Xu Wu, if people don’t see where they are, they will easily go wrong. Yu Cong is the best example. I hope you can take a warning and don’t leave him. The old way." This is already Chi Guoguo admonishing Xu Wu. But being able to say this is based on years of love. Otherwise, even if you don't deal with it, you will be far away, so you can't see it, it's not like giving Xu Wu a good place to go now.
Xu Wu and Yuxi have known her a bit for so many years, and he warned that he had reached the limit. If he did something beyond, he would no longer be merciful.
These years of experience are not in vain, Xu Wu knelt on the ground and raised his head and said: "The princess can rest assured, the minister is determined not to make Yu Cong's fault."
In fact, with Huo Changqing watching, Xu Wu couldn't take Yu Cong's old road. However, Yuxi still said one more sentence: "Think about your wife and children. Once you have a problem, who do you let them rely on?"
Thinking of his wife and children, Xu Wu's heart sank. After a while, Xu Wu lowered his head and said: "Princess, the minister is convicted."
Yuxi didn't want to say any more: "Don't talk about things in the past, and work hard in the future." Everyone has their own standards of behavior, and Xu Wu doesn't agree with her approach and she doesn't force it.
On this day, Hu's family was ransacked. For what Mr. Hu did before, Yuxi left him a drug store, and the people in Dafang were not convicted. As for the second room, it is naturally handled according to the law.
Regarding this result, the Hu family was only fortunate, and did not dare to have any complaints or dissatisfaction. You must know that these assassins assassinated were important officials of the court, and if they were to be dealt with according to the law, their family would have to be exiled for thousands of miles even if they were not beheaded. Now I just ransack the family's wealth but the family is innocent. I'm very lucky. In addition, there is also a drug store, which is well managed, and the family has no worries about food and clothing. At this time, the benefits of Hu's persistence in doing good deeds were revealed. Even if the Hu family committed a crime, the doctor and the staff in the drugstore did not leave because of their involvement.
At this point, Mrs. Hu still forced Mrs. Hu to save her youngest son.
Except for Mr. Hu, everyone in Dafang hated Mr. Hu Er. If it weren't for this evil spirit, how could they have reached this point. Now the old lady wants them to save this evil spirit, how willing. But Baishan was filial piety first, and didn't dare to say nasty things. A bunch of people in Dafang knelt in front of Mrs. Hu's bed, begging her to leave a way for everyone to survive. But just like that, Mrs. Hu still insisted on Master Hu to save people.
Faced with the stubborn old lady Hu, Mrs. Hu finally got angry, and said frankly that if she hadn't blindly indulged her, Master Hu Er would not fall to the point where she was going to behead to show the public. In short, Mr. Hu Er committed the serious crime and lost his life this time.
The accusation made by Mrs. Hu made Mrs. Hu a stroke of anger. After that, her words were uncomfortable. At this point, the Hu's big room finally calmed down.
Meng Nian sent more than a dozen assassins to the northwest, but these three were arrested because they could not leave the city because they showed up. The others left the northwest with the help of Master Hu Er. Because it was delayed for a few days, I couldn't catch up.
Once the assassin's matter was resolved, Xu Wu took the post. It was not Xu Daniu who took over, but Sponian. It's not that Xu Daniu's ability is not enough, but that he is impulsive and also likes to drink, such a person Yuxi can't worry. Xu Daniu also knew his shortcomings, plus he knew that Sponian was better than him, so he was not dissatisfied.
It's rare to be free this day, Yuxi said with a smile: "I have been busy the other day, and I didn't have time to look at the things you picked. It just happens to be free today, let's go and see."
Zaozuo said that he was not interested and did not want to go.
Yuxi smiled and cursed: "This is for you, who are you not going to let it go?" The four brothers Yun Qing and Hao Er didn't want to go or force it, but Zazao had to go.
Zaozao has a bitter face.
Entering the room, Zaozao was blinded by the jewelry placed on the table. Rubies, sapphires, opals and other various jewels are placed in the box. Of these gems, the smallest ones are as big as peanuts.
Liu Er asked with a smile: "Sister, do you like it?"
Zaozao frowned and said, "These things add up to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, right?" Each gem is filled with a box full of silver, and these things are definitely worth hundreds of thousands of silver.
Yuxi smiled and said, "These are the spoils that your father has seized. You don't need to spend extra money to buy them." In fact, many of the things here are impossible to buy with money, especially the emeralds. of.
Hearing this, Zaozao had another worry: "Mother, I'll give it all to me, what will Liu'er do then?" She has a salary, and can get trophies in wars, and can support herself even if she doesn't have a dowry. . But Liu'er is different. If she doesn't have a generous dowry, she won't be successful.
When Liu'er heard this, she smiled in her arms holding Zaozao: "Don't worry, my elder sister, there are still many good things in my mother's storeroom, and I won't be missing my share." Liu'er likes everything that the girl likes. , Such as beautiful jewelry clothes and all kinds of exquisite embroidery. Relatively speaking, she is not very interested in calligraphy, painting and antiques.
Zaozao didn't believe this, and said, "I picked so many out, how much can there be in the warehouse? Mother, these jewels should be divided into willows!"
Liuer don't want it.
Yuxi smiled and said: "In two years, your father will lead soldiers to attack the capital. Is there anything good after the capital is taken? So, don't worry about it." In fact, there are still a lot of good things in the warehouse. Liuer is more than enough, saying this because he doesn't want to listen to Zaozao's nagging.
Zaozao's eyes lit up: "Mother, do you mean that we will attack the capital in the next year?" She missed the opportunity to make a contribution when she attacked the capital.
Yuxi said that for two years, it was just a general statement: "Just after the war, you have to recuperate for three years." Not only did this take-out of the Beijiao run out of the 10 million silver donated by the Wu family, that's it. The little silver that was saved over the past two years has also been filled in, and now it is really poor and white. How to send troops to the capital in this situation.
"Liu'er is now fifteen years old, and three years and eighteen years old. At that time, he will have to prepare a dowry or something. Then, doesn't Liuer need to be twenty to get married?"
A flush appeared on Liu'er's face, and her hand squeezed the corner of her clothes unconsciously. The eldest sister is also true, how can she talk about her marriage!
"You will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. Are you planning to marry next year?" Yuxi is planning to marry when Jujube reaches 18 years old, and Liu'er is the same.
Zaozao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Mother, I have to wait until I get married before I get married."
This is not inconsistent. She would have been in her twenties no matter how she took down the capital.
Liu Er is not worried about not getting married, but she still couldn't help but interject: "Eldest sister, you will be 20 years old in three years. Are you afraid that the second young master of the Wu family will despise you?"
"Don't worry about this, Jin Yu will definitely do what I want." Seeing Yuxi looking at her with a smile, Zaozao said hurriedly: "Mother, didn't you say that women should not get married too early? Getting married too early is not good for your body. good."
Yuxi never said this, she just said that it is not good for a woman to give birth to a child too early. However, she was too lazy to argue with Zaozao: "As long as the Wu family has no objection, I will do what you want." If her daughter stays for two more years, she is too happy to be too late, so how can she object.
"I'm relieved." She was still afraid that Yuxi would object, she kept thinking about how to say this. Now that's all right, the problem is solved: "Liu Er, I don't know what you like when you talk about it? Tell my sister, I can help you pay attention."
Liuer was a little annoyed: "Sister, what are you talking about?" Even if you want to say it, you have to say it in private. How can you say it in front of a housemaid!
Zaozao didn't think there was anything. It's so embarrassing for men to be married and women to be married. And it's about lifelong happiness, so we should be more cautious.
Seeing Zaozao, Yuxi wanted to say more, and coughed: "Okay, I've seen everything, Zaozao, if you don't have any comments, let's go back!"
Zaozao naturally won't have any comments: "Mother, you can decide on the dowry, don't ask me any more."
The person concerned didn't care about the dowry, but Liu Er asked with great concern: "Mother, is the furniture finished? When can it be delivered?"
"It's not good yet, and the work will not be finished until next summer at the soonest." Anyway, Zaozao doesn't marry so quickly, and it will be done later. Slow work will give you fine work!
Zaozao feels very wasteful: "Mother, transporting these furniture from Jiangnan to Gaocheng, the freight is not a small amount anymore."
Liuer said she was speechless.
At this moment, Meilan came in and walked to Yuxi's side and said, "Wang Hao, Master Yu said that there is something important." Since Yu Zhi said something important, he couldn't delay it.
When Yuxi heard this, he hurried to the front yard.
