Chapter 87 The troubles of envy
"General, Miss sent someone to report that the general should go back home quickly. There is something important." The soldier guarding the door came in to report.
"Then I'll go back first. If you have anything to do, come directly to the house to find me." Deng Mao felt very sorry for this girl. After getting the news, he rode back.
"Where's the lady?" Deng Mao returned home, threw the reins into the hands of the guard at the door, and asked.
"General, the lady is waiting for the general in the backyard." The guard took the reins and led the horse away.
Deng Mao strode toward the backyard, wondering what important matter this could be.
"Dad, you are back. My daughter almost..." As soon as Deng Wei saw her father coming back, she quickly threw herself into his arms and cried loudly. While crying, she told everything about today's events.
"This is too much of a deception." Deng Mao was so angry that he was slapping himself in the face.
"Dad, you have to make the decision for your daughter." Deng Wei said with a smile.
"My dear daughter, don't worry. I will go to the palace for a visit as a father." The other party is the son of Chen Hongjin, the commander of the army, and he is here to attend the banquet at the palace. I definitely can't take it directly. The prince will have to judge the matter.
.
"Dad, where is Mr. Sun?" Today, thanks to Mr. Sun, I can keep my reputation.
"As a father, it's not good for me to see him in person. Tomorrow, prepare some gifts for your eldest brother to go." Logically speaking, it would be best to go alone, but after all, Sun Yu is the governor of Jianzhou, and it is not appropriate for him to have too much contact with him.
Intersection, in the eyes of interested people, will inevitably lead to trouble.
"Weier, don't worry, what will Uncle Liu and the others do?" Wei'er pointed to several guards kneeling outside the courtyard and said. After entering the mansion, they knew they were guilty, so they were all kneeling at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Kneel down for now. Daddy will arrange some more guards for you later." Deng Mao saw it before entering the backyard. If the guardian is not effective, he must be punished, otherwise the people below will have no fear. But judging from their appearance, they are still loyal.
, he is also an old man under his command, but he is not strong enough.
"Dad, Uncle Liu's hand is broken. He has to go back to nurse it. How can his body bear the pain if he keeps kneeling like this?" Deng Wei grabbed her father's arm and shook it coquettishly.
"Then how do you think the punishment should be?" Deng Mao had no idea. He couldn't bear it when his daughter acted like a spoiled child, so he could only rely on her.
"Let's punish them by going to the stables to clean up the horse manure." Weier thought for a while. The stables were so smelly, so it should be considered a very severe punishment.
"Okay, okay, okay, it's all up to you." Since his daughter was fine and they were all injured, Deng Mao didn't intend to punish her severely. Today, her daughter was also frightened, so he might as well support her and make her happy.
"Daddy is the best." Deng Wei was very excited.
"You stay at home and go to the palace for your father. The Chen family must give me an explanation for this matter." It is impossible to just let this matter go. You must seek justice for your daughter.
In the Jinjiang Prince's Palace, Liu Congxiao was lying on the couch, and Princess Song Wushu and her maid were cleaning him up. In order to cover up the stench emanating from his back, extremely strong incense was lit in the room.
"Your Majesty, General Deng Mao is waiting outside. He said he has something to report." The butler came in with small steps to report. Deng Mao is considered to be the prince's favorite general, so naturally he cannot be kept waiting for a long time.
"My dear concubine, please go down first and ask him to come in." Liu Congxiao waved his hand, and Song Wucheng hurriedly left with his maid as if he was being pardoned.
"I have finally met the prince, and I wish him good health and good health." As soon as Deng Mao entered the door, he bowed with great salute.
"General Deng, without courtesy, will grant you a seat." Liu Conxiao sat up from the couch and pointed to the stool next to him. The butler moved the stool forward, and Deng Mao stood up and sat down carefully.
"Your Majesty, I have suffered great humiliation today. Please ask Your Majesty to seek justice." Deng Mao said bitterly.
"Who is so bold and dares to humiliate my beloved general? Tell me and I will make the decision for you." Liu Congxiao still valued Deng Mao very much, otherwise he would not have handed over the defense of Quanzhou to him.
"It is Chen He, the son of General Chen, the commander of the army. Today he actually did such a beastly thing to the general's beloved daughter in broad daylight in Wanghai Tower..." Deng Mao immediately told what happened.
I said it all out, and the more I said it, the angrier I became.
"General Chen is in ill health. I don't want to be too harsh. I will write a letter soon and ask him to discipline him strictly." When Liu Congxiao heard that it was Chen Hongjin, he felt helpless. His health was getting worse and worse.
, I can't touch him easily. Besides, the son I plan to adopt is still young. If something happens to me, I have to rely on him and not fall out.
"Your Majesty, Chen He has committed an adultery and committed a crime, so he should be dealt with strictly in front of a secretary." When Deng Mao heard this, he thought, this is just a quarrel. How could Chen He not have Chen Hongjin's instruction behind his actions? Let him discipline him strictly.
Isn't it like nothing is wrong?
"General Deng, this Chen He is just young and can't control himself for a while. Besides, your daughter is safe and sound. It's not appropriate to get into a big fight over this matter, lest your reputation be damaged." Liu Congxiao had no choice but to comfort him. After all, what he did did really make people happy.
He was wronged.
"Your Majesty, General Chen has no way of teaching his son. This time he claimed that he was not sick. I'm afraid he had evil intentions..." Deng Mao was furious. After being so humiliated, he actually had to swallow his anger.
"That's enough, General Deng, do your duty. I'm tired, so go down." Liu Congxiao shouted angrily, how could he not know Chen Hongjin's thoughts, but this is all he can do now, his body,
I can't stand the trouble anymore. If he could lead troops a few years ago, how could he allow Chen Hongjin to be so arrogant? Now he can only show kindness and not civil strife.
"I will retire at the end!" Although Deng Mao was full of resentment, he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had no choice but to surrender.
"Old Xi, did you send someone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Jianzhou governor when he came to Quanzhou?" As soon as Deng Mao left, Liu Congxiao lay down on the couch again. This was thanks to this person. If Chen Hongjin and Deng Mao were
Being a good friend of Qin and Jin, I am afraid that I will have trouble sleeping and eating.
"I'm keeping an eye on him. This man is quite well-behaved. After entering the city, he went directly to the post house to settle down, and then went to Wanghai Tower for dinner. In the afternoon, he went to the port and met the eldest son of the Song family at the port. The two had a pleasant conversation.
"Butler Xi reported Sun Yu's whereabouts in detail. Ever since he entered Quanzhou City, someone has been keeping an eye on him.
"There is no movement from those families? Is this really a chance encounter?" Liu Congxiao was already suspicious of the princess' suggestion to invite the governor of Jianzhou, so he had already told Sun Yu and his entourage to pay close attention to it.
"No, except for Chen He and Chen Qisi from the Chen family, the only people Sun Yu came into contact with today were the eldest young master of the Song family, Song Wumian. Besides, if there were really important matters to discuss, they wouldn't be in a place like the port.
Their conversation can be heard by everyone below." Butler Xi felt that his prince was a little too cautious. Jianzhou was barren, so how could the four major families be worthy of secretly communicating with them? In the end,
Have more business dealings.
"That's right. At the banquet the day after tomorrow, arrange for him to be closer to me. After all, he is a popular person in front of the king, so we can't lose face." Since he came to the banquet to congratulate him honestly, Liu Congxiao thought it was better.
Give him some face, he is a celebrity after all. Liu Congxiao also read the lyrics he wrote and found them to be really good.
But on Sun Yu's side, Song Wumian took him for a stroll to experience the prosperity of Quanzhou. There were many shops along the street, and there were many vendors on the road. Everything he saw was a prosperous scene. Liu Congxiao could be considered a capable person.
"Master Sun, please look at this. This is the largest brothel in Quanzhou, Liuyunfang, the prince's property. It's not time yet. In another hour, it will be overflowing with fragrance." Song Wumian pointed to the building in front of him.
, showing a smile that every man understands. There are twelve attics in Liuyunfang, each of which is inhabited by a Qinghuan who is both beautiful and talented. Every night, there is an endless stream of people who come here.
"Young Master Song must be a frequent visitor here." Sun Yu took a look. Liuyunfang occupies a large area and has beautiful architecture. It must be a paradise for rich people.
"That's not true. My father is very strict and it's rare to come here." His father Song Lian hates visiting brothels and likes women. Then you can take concubines. It's not like our family can't afford to support them. If we work more at home, maybe
You can have more children and your family can prosper. No matter how much you play outside, it's useless.
"Why is that?" Sun Yu was a little strange. At Song Wumian's age, it was nothing more than a visit to a brothel. If the news spread, it was just a romantic story.
"Hey, my family has very few children. Every time I visit a brothel, my father will give me a room for concubines." Song Wumian looked up to the sky and sighed. His father now only has one son, and the other one died in infancy. He still has only one son.
He has two daughters and no son. His father wishes he could force him to make a baby at home every day.
"What? There is such a thing. How many concubines have you had now?" It's different to have money, and to have this kind of operation, Cheng Zhenbei and Chen Qiba next to them looked envious.
"It's the fifth room. If I go in today, I will definitely get the sixth room. You can't understand my pain." Song Wumian looked up to the sky and sighed. Every night when he entered the yard, in the middle was his wife, the daughter of the Qi family, one of the four major families.
, there were concubines standing on both sides. In this posture, his legs were shaking so much that he couldn't control himself.
"Mr. Song, why do I, Old Cheng, feel my hands are so itchy? Let's practice?" Cheng Zhenbei looked at Song Wumian's twitching face and really wanted to slap him with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan. What is this called pain?
There are nearly ten thousand men in the Jianzhou army. Except for the wounded barracks, they can only see women in their dreams.
"Old Cheng's words make sense, add me." Bahu is also gearing up. I am the son of a dignified military commander, and he doesn't even have a wife now. He is raised by those donkeys, and he ruins his reputation outside all day long, making everyone's ladies.
They all avoid him, his family status must be low, and his mother refuses.
"You two, you really don't understand, this will happen one day." Song Wumian looked at the two people who were gearing up, not afraid at all. The Jianzhou army has strict military discipline, and they didn't say anything until they saw the rightful owner.
"A man who is really full doesn't know how hungry he is. Let's go." Sun Yu originally wanted to go in and take a look, but since Song Wumian said so pitifully, let it go. If Mr. Song doesn't go in, no one will pay the bill.
