I'm just a dude

The Battle of Yachuan was originally started to raise the prestige of Xichuan Mansion.

Xichuan Mansion is thousands of miles away in the southwest of Yunnan and Guizhou, and was originally ruled by King Xichuan.Later, the king of Xichuan was killed. After the new king came to the throne, he took advantage of the mountains and miasma in Yachuan, repeatedly harassed the border, and wanted to embezzle Yunnan, Guizhou and other places. General Tang Lin led the troops and swept away.

Although Tang Lin is young, he is brave and good at fighting, and he is a combat prodigy.At that time, the king of Xichuan led 20 troops and came in a threatening manner. He was also beaten by him like a bereaved dog and fled in panic.

Later, the imperial court took over the Yachuan area, established the Xichuan Mansion, and stationed troops in the city to defend it, so that the border of Yachuan was stabilized.

Unexpectedly, four years ago, King Xichuan's evil intentions were not dead, and he made a comeback.However, General Tang was unable to fight this time—after Emperor Yuanzhao seized the throne, Tang Lin was among the several generals killed.

The king of Xichuan also knew that Tang Lin was dead, so he became more and more rampant, instigating all the barbarians to invade Xichuan Prefecture and the Dushui River area, and the soldiers and civilians in the Yachuan area were miserable. In order to conquer the West, he also took Dou Shichen, Minister of the Ministry of War, as the general army, and Xu Ying, the servant of the Ministry of War, supervised the army's payment, led [-] troops, and went to Yachuan to suppress the rebellion.

Before this, Qi Zhuo was just a nameless junior living on hereditary salary.

Xu Yu also learned from the second brother's secret letter that this man is really talented.Yachuan's victory in the first battle should be attributed to him.However, he was at odds with Dou Shichen, the commander-in-chief, and he was also excluded in the army. The [-] soldiers under him were all selected after they arrived in Yachuan.

This time when Qi Zhuo disappeared, Xu Ying suspected that there was something else going on. Who knew that a defected soldier suddenly appeared.

What is even more surprising is that the defected prisoner entered the capital only two days after the memorial was submitted. Xu Yu made many inquiries and found out that the prisoner had already left in June, galloping all the way, and did not wear it until before entering the capital. The shackles, on the contrary, seem to be eager to testify and die.

There are too many oddities in this case.However, no matter how strange it is, the joint trial of the three divisions is a foregone conclusion.

Xu Yu just entered Dali Temple, young, and now he is only a judge of the seventh grade, and not qualified to participate in the joint review. Fortunately, the secretary of Dali Temple liked Xu Yu very much, and told him some inside information.

After Xu Xuan learned about it, she immediately asked You Ji to quietly tell Qi Yuan to make him prepare.

When Qi Yuan got the information, he was discussing with Mrs. Peng about the pharmacy.

The pharmacy was originally bought by Mrs. Peng's father when he was a bachelor's degree attendant, and it was used as a dowry for Ms. Peng. The shopkeepers and staff in the store are all old people.In recent years, most of Peng's dowry has been embezzled by Mrs. Qi, only the pharmacy is a little bit out of the way, and the place is smaller, so it survives.

As for the operation of the pharmacy in the past few years, Mrs. Peng also knew that something was wrong.But she doesn't know how to run a business, and most of the servants who were originally dowry were dismissed by Mrs. Qi. The mother Zhou around her is illiterate. The shopkeeper was helpless.

This year's Qiyuan University Examination, Yunlan and Ji, Peng's family was really helpless, so they decided to resell the medicine shop.

When Qi Yuan said that he was going to take over and turn it into a fragrance medicine shop, she was indeed taken aback. When she asked Qi Yuan if he wanted to make incense to make money, she couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

Qi Yuan has inquired a lot of news these days, and went to the shop to see it twice, and now he has a plan in mind.At this time, seeing that Mrs. Peng was worried, she also guessed a little bit.

"Mother doesn't want me to abandon Confucianism and become Jia?"

"After all, you have a reputation as a scholar, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do it yourself." Mrs. Peng nodded and hesitated, "If you want to use your incense making skills, you can hire someone to do it for you. Otherwise, if you really want to If you do it yourself, you have to submit it to the public and keep your business all year round."

Among the four peoples, merchants are the most humble. Once Qi Yuan starts a business, he will be looked down upon by other scholars in the future.

Mrs. Peng didn't know that Qi Yuan was the son of a merchant, but he had to do so for the sake of the family's livelihood.

Qi Yuan has experienced this for a long time, and he couldn't help laughing: "So what? The life of a wealthy businessman is much better than that of a poor scholar. Besides, being rich and polite, you can get things. As long as I don't steal If you don't want to be robbed or cheated, why should you be so contemptuous?"

"That being said, there has been a saying since ancient times that the sons of scholars will always be scholars, and the sons of merchants will always be merchants. Is there any one of the famous families in Beijing who begged to marry their daughter to a merchant?" Peng said melancholy, "You should also say goodbye this year." Now, if you really start a business, which lady will marry you?"

Qi Yuan didn't expect that the topic would suddenly jump to talking about kissing, he was stunned, his face flushed with embarrassment: "I don't want to marry a wife."

Seeing his shyness, Mrs. Peng couldn't help laughing: "It's not stupid, who doesn't talk about kissing?"

"I'm still young." Qi Yuan touched his face, turned around and ran away, then ran out the door, poked his head back from the curtain, and said with a smile, "I'm going to book the store! Mother just don't think it's embarrassing for me to be in business."

"I can't dislike you." Peng said with a spoiled and helpless smile, "You just don't act impulsively, think carefully..."

The two were talking when they heard a little girl shouting outside.

Qi Yuan turned his head and went out, and heard the maid calling him, after careful questioning, he found out that someone was looking for him at the back door, wearing a big hat, but looking very anxious.

Qi Yuan felt strange after hearing his description, but he followed the maid and hurried to the back door.

You Ji outside had already waited impatiently. Seeing him coming out, he hurriedly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qi, why did you come out? I'm so anxious!"

He kept throwing things in, but no one responded.You Ji didn't dare to disturb the others, so he met a little maid who came out from the back door, so he got word.

Seeing his solemn expression, Qi Yuan was dressed in the clothes of a handyman and covered his face with a big hat, he couldn't help but wondered: "What's wrong?"

You Ji didn't dare to be wordy, and in a few words, he told about Qi Zhuo's soldiers being escorted back to Beijing and accusing Qi Zhuo of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

"...This matter is confidential, and only a few officials in the joint trial know about it." You Ji said in a low voice, "Young Master, let me tell you that in this joint trial, in addition to Lord Shangshu, the Ministry of Punishment will also participate in the joint trial. "

The law of this dynasty followed the old system, and set up three legal divisions in charge of criminal and prison affairs.The Ministry of Punishment received the name of punishment from all over the world, and was refuted by the pickets of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple.The Ministry of Punishment also set up thirteen clean-up departments, which were in charge of affairs in rotation.

Now Xu Yu sent someone to inform him...

"From the Ministry of Punishment..." Qi Yuan's heart trembled, and he asked in a low voice, "Could it be Huguang Qingli Department?"

You Ji looked at him and nodded slowly.

Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help being stunned.

Huguang Qinglisi Langzhong is Cai Xian's godson.This person has a sinister personality and despicable conduct. In order to recognize his godfather, he even gave up his ancestor's surname, and now he changed his name to Cai Yisheng.This kind of identification by the personal soldiers is more ominous than good.If this person participates again, it will be even more difficult to be kind.

"Is there anything else?" Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, he looked left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Only one personal soldier came?"

"That's it, the young master doesn't know much." You Ji paused, "Brother Qi, do you want to..."

Qi Yuan: "...what?"

You Ji sighed: "Young Master said, it's still too late."

As soon as the personal soldiers testify, and the others shirk the responsibility for the defeat, Qi Zhuo will be convicted of treason in all likelihood.Qi Zhuo himself has disappeared, but the whole family cannot escape.Unless Qi Yuan waits for an opportunity to go out of Beijing early and hide away with Peng Shi.

When Qi Yuan first passed through, he thought about this day.Now You Ji was extremely anxious, but he calmed down strangely.

"The goal of the three of us is too big, it is impossible to escape together. What's more, if we escape, there is no guarantee that we will not be implicated in your Duke's Mansion." Qi Yuan took a deep breath, "Wait until I go back and discuss it with my mother." .If things go wrong, I will only have one living in my family.”

You Ji was taken aback, and glanced at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan knew that this matter had a lot to do with it, and by acting like this, Xu Yu took the risk of beheading.With serious thoughts, he took a step back, rushed to You Ji and bowed deeply, "Tell your son, Qi Yuan... I am very grateful."

You Ji opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything else.She nodded at him and hurried away.

Qi Yuan went back to the mansion, now he went straight to Peng's courtyard, turned around and discussed secretly.

In the Duke's mansion, Xu Yu was also secretly discussing this matter with Luo Yi.

Luo Yi didn't quite agree with this, and frowned: "Does the Duke know about this?"

Xu Yu shook her head.He planned to discuss it with Luo Yi before telling his father.

His father had no friendship with Zhongyuan Bo, and although the second elder brother mentioned Qi Zhuo a few words in the secret letter, it was far from the point where the Duke's mansion took the risk to arrange a wife and daughter for him.His decision this time is indeed a little rash, but if he is allowed to sit idly by, he will not be able to do it.

Luo Yi has a straightforward personality and has a very close relationship with Xu Ying. Hearing this, he couldn't help but snorted: "Third brother, this is not like you. Did that Mr. Qi come to beg you?"

"He doesn't know about this yet." Xu Yu said, "Brother Luo is in trouble? If that's the case, I'll think of other ways."

"Fart! Am I a timid person? Don't provoke me on purpose!" Luo Yi said angrily, "I'm just afraid that you will be deceived by the villain because you are young and innocent."

Xu Yu raised her eyebrows to look at him, and sighed helplessly for a while.

"The case of Uncle Zhongyuan has too many strange things. The second brother said that Qi Zhuo is a man of benevolence and general talent, and the victory in Yachuan's first battle should be attributed to him." Xu Yu said, "Since he was suddenly recruited , and his wife and children are in Beijing, and his son is talented and his exam is coming soon. He has no reason to betray the enemy. What's more, Cai Langzhong of the Ministry of punishment has a grudge against the Qi family. how?"

Luo Yi only knew the general situation, but she didn't know about the interrogation, so she asked doubtfully, "Which Cai Langzhong? Cai Xian's dog son?"

Xu Xuan nodded: "He wanted to marry Miss Qi's family, but Mrs. Uncle refused."

Luo Yi's expression changed.He hated Cai Dang very much, not to mention that Cai Langzhong was in his 40s and had a vicious personality. He was the most shameless of Cai Xian's sons.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a better impression of the Qi family.But after thinking about it, he still snorted softly: "Don't fool me. Even the Qi family is innocent, and if you are willing to act like this, it must be for the sake of Qi Yuan's family."

Luo Yi paused after finishing speaking, and reminded: "Zijing, don't forget the Duke's Mansion, don't forget your father and brothers."

The Duke's Mansion is full of important officials, very powerful, and the Duke of the Kingdom has also been a lecturer for the prince, so some people secretly suspected him a few years ago.Emperor Yuanzhao was inherently suspicious, and Cai Xian secretly supported the second prince, so in the past few years, the Duke's government has become more and more low-key, and even returned the world certificate of the mansion to the emperor.

If Xu Yu acted carelessly, once he was implicated, his whole family would be involved.

Seeing his serious face, Xu Yu nodded seriously: "I will tell my father tonight."

"That's good." Luo Yi said, "To prevent you from being obsessed with sex.

Xu Yu: "..."

"Brother Luo, why did you say that?" Xu Yu couldn't help but glance at him.

Luo Yi has a fiery temper, but she is not stupid, so she raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "At Tongzhou Station, you just brought Qi Yuan back privately, and you specifically asked me not to make trouble. Am I just asking for trouble? It's obvious that he himself is suspected! When will you take care of these things for others."

Luo Yi got angry when she said this, stood up and took a few steps, and then complained, "And that time when it was raining, bro, I was going to drink, but you caught me out to find someone. I thought something happened to him , Called a dozen brothers to search all over the city, dignified gentlemen, what is there to be afraid of when it rains and the sky gets dark?"

There is nothing to be afraid of... But Qi Yuan is indeed afraid!

Xu Yu coughed lightly, but could not refute, so she poured herself a cup of tea.

"And on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, you specially went to pick him up. He is just a young scholar, and he actually watched the scenery on the third floor. Your precious cousin is only on the second floor, right?" Luo Yi said angrily, "He even said that I Ugly face, deserves no sachet!"

At that time Qi Yuan was talking about his "smelly face", Luo Yi was far away, and vaguely heard it as ugly.He knew that he was handsome since he was a child, and Xu Wei even teased him that half of the reason why he was chosen as a vanguard general was that he was very beautiful and could confuse the enemy.

Qi Yuan said he was ugly, so he was naturally not happy, and seeing that Qi Yuan was still a child who hadn't grown up, he was even more unconvinced when he was 15 years old and made meritorious deeds with the leader of the enemy army.

"He's just like that, just speak the truth." Xu Yu protected the calf, and said slowly, "Besides, you really don't have a sachet, and you haven't been wronged."

"I don't have it? I'm too much, I can't hang it! I'm all over the room!" Luo Yi said in surprise, "Look, you can actually speak for outsiders. You even said you weren't deceived by beauty!"

Listening to the beauty of his opening and closing, Xu Yu thought about Qi Yuan's appearance, the corners of her lips curled up, and she simply recognized him.

"Then what do you think?" Xu Yu said bluntly, "Isn't he good-looking?"

"How would I know!" Luo Yi shouted, "I've never met the young lady of the Qi Mansion."

Xu Yu: "..."

"Who have you never met?" Xu Yu was taken aback.

"Miss Qi!" Luo Yi said, "But judging by his elder brother's appearance, he should not be bad. Speaking of which, before I ask you, Qi Yuan is only sixteen. His sister...is he old enough? "

Xu Yu: "..."

The two of them were talking when they heard a report from the servants that You Ji had returned.

Xu Yuzheng didn't know how to answer, so he hurriedly asked You Ji to come in and asked about Qi Yuan's situation.You Ji's expression was very dignified, he saluted Luo Yi first, and then relayed Qi Yuan's words back.

"...Brother Qi said that if things go wrong, only one of his family will live."

Xu Yu was stunned: "Only one?"

"Yes." You Ji said: "Brother Qi said, as for whether it is his mother or his sister, we will discuss it with him when he goes back. So I trouble you to prepare a few women's coarse clothes for me."

Xu Yu was stunned for a while, then frowned slightly.

Luo Yi thought about the young man in red in Wangyun Tower that day, and was also a little surprised.According to Qi Yuan's meaning, it is obvious that he wants to keep a relative to avenge his father in the future, and he himself is obviously preparing to die.

He underestimated this person.The little boy is also very courageous.

But it's much easier to hide one person.Luo Yi was no longer in the mood to laugh.

"If you hide one, it's easy to handle. The two of you can try it too." Luo Yi also became serious, thought for a while, and said seriously, "I'll go back and make arrangements, Zijing, you can discuss it with the Duke as soon as possible. It’s better to leave the city sooner rather than later.”

Xu Yu responded in a low voice, and sent him out, without daring to delay, turned around and went to the Duke's study.

On the evening of the second day, a green cloth carriage stopped at the entrance of the son-in-law alley.After discussing with Mrs. Peng, Qi Yuan didn't tell Yun Lan the truth, but only said to send her out to hide for a while, lest Mrs. Qi use her tricks to force her into marriage.

Qi Yuan put all the pony's rations earned in the past few days in his bag and gave it to Yun Lan.Yun Lan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell. She was straightforward, thinking that she would only cause trouble for her mother and elder brother at home, so she saluted them three times, and only brought Lonicera, a maid, and went out quietly. Get in the car and go.

The green cloth pony carriage drove the last wave out of the city before the city gate was locked.Luo Yi waited outside the east gate, and when the master and servant came out, she arranged for them to change their attire, drove the car by herself, and turned around to go to the suburbs of Beijing.

Qi Yuan sent Yun Lan away, and a stone fell in his heart.

He was still thinking about the shop in his mind. Last time he sent someone to send a message to ask the shopkeeper to bring the account book to him, but the other party didn't take him seriously at all.

Qi Yuan originally wanted to take his time, but now that he sees it, the interrogation is imminent, and whether he can live or not depends on his fate, why should he be polite to that guy?Tomorrow, I will kill him, and I will stand up to the prestige. I will earn this money one day earlier, so that I can still eat good meat when I die!

The dusk is sinking, and the ambiguous rays of the sun spread the way back.

A sense of pride suddenly rose in Qi Yuan's heart, thinking that life and death are up to him, wealth is in the sky, and he can be regarded as a person who lives freely and unrestrainedly, so in the end, he must not be wronged for a while.However, there is also a faint trace of confusion in my heart...or fear.

He didn't dare to think about it, he just bowed his head and walked back quickly.Just turning out from the alley of the son-in-law, I saw a shadow in front of my eyes, which was stretched thin and long by the setting sun.

Qi Yuan raised his head and looked against the light.

In the soft light, Xu Wei seemed to have been painted with a thin layer of gold.He just looked at Qi Yuan quietly, until the latter's eyes were stimulated to blink by the light, then he slowly made a sound.

"I told my aunt." Xu Yu slightly lowered her eyelashes and said, "Come on, I'll take you to my house to see your pony."
