Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter four hundred and thirteen

Guo Shao has been busy expanding his armaments these days, and he is full of energy all day long. But in the "Qin Guogong Mansion", it is a different situation. The Qin Guogong Mansion is just an ordinary house with a plaque hanging on it; it is a boring place with few houses.

Mrs. Huarui held her chopsticks and lowered her head, distracted, thinking: Guo Shao seems to have forgotten himself.

At this moment, she heard "Bah, Bah, Bah!" Mrs. Huarui was startled, and looked to the side. Seeing Meng Chang's angry face, he slammed the chopsticks on the table, and immediately cursed: "What the hell! There is sand in the rice!"

"Master calm down, it's all because I didn't clean up the servants." The eunuch Wei Zhong hurriedly bowed down and said.

Mrs. Huarui said quietly: "The rice is harvested. If there are no stone stalls around, it can only be dried on the earth dam. Usually there is sand mixed in it, so it is difficult to pick. A Lang will just let it go."

Meng Chang said angrily, "I won't eat it! It's fine if there's no wine, and there's no meat in the dishes. What's the matter with being bland?"

Wei Zhongdao: "Salt is very expensive, two hundred Wen a catty."

"Aren't I Qin Guogong? Where is the salary? I can't even afford salt?" Meng Chang asked with a frown.

Wei Zhong glanced back, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Two hundred Wen is just the price on the market... There are officials from the Xuanhui Yuan guarding here. If you want to go out to buy something, or ask them to buy it for you, the price will have to be increased by at least ten times. There is also the promised salary, which has not yet been seen. Our money is running out, and it is getting less and less every day. The slave family can only save some for the master."

After hearing this, Madam Huarui stretched out her hand to untie a necklace from her neck, and handed it to Wei Zhong: "Let's find a way to exchange some money."

Wei Zhong shook his head hastily: "There are still some. Madam can't make it happen. If you exchange these things for money, I don't know how many will be left after you get them. Let's keep them."

Mrs. Huarui stuffed it into Wei Zhong's hand: "It's useless for me to hold it, I can change as many as I can."

Meng Chang stood up and walked back and forth in front of the dining table with his hands behind his back. After a while, he was out of breath. He leaned on the table and said, "The court of Zhou has done a good job of saving face. What Qin Guogong, shit! What's the difference between Lao Tzu and a prisoner?"

"Don't be impatient, Ah Lang, don't let anyone hear you." Mrs. Huarui pointed to the door and said softly, "You were once the lord of Shu, the lord of thousands of people in Shu, and the court will naturally be wary. After a while, when they think that A Lang is not a threat, and when Shu is settled, the court will naturally not need to waste manpower to take care of it, and life will be better slowly."

She thought for a while and said: "I heard that there are many civil and military personnel from the Shu Kingdom who have been reappointed by the imperial court. These people have all received Alang's favor. You are the Duke of Qin who was bestowed by the royal family. Can you find someone to help you with your salary and other things in the future? Alang, with a little patience, it will not be difficult to live a prosperous life in the future... much easier than those who were born poor and humble."

She pulled Mengchang to sit down: "Eat some more food and take care of your body. Maybe after a period of pure and simple life, Alang's body broken by those alchemists will be able to take care of himself."

"Don't worry, this hard time will end soon." Meng Chang's face suddenly became a little excited, "You are right, I still have many courtiers."

Mrs. Huarui observed his emotions and felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly asked, "Where is Li De?"

"I told him to go to work." Meng Chang hummed.

Mrs. Huarui hurriedly asked: "What is Ah Lang going to do?"

Meng Chang said in a low voice mysteriously: "Gao Yanchou and Hou Mao regained the military power of the Shu Imperial Army. I will send someone to contact him to make a big deal!"

Mrs. Huarui's face paled immediately, her face turned white immediately, and the chopsticks fell from her hands, landed on the rice bowl with a "clang", and jumped to the ground. She grabbed Meng Chang's sleeve, tears glistened in her eyes, and she couldn't cry anymore, "Ah Lang... why can't you live a good life? Why do you have to do such things..."

"What kind of life is a good life?" Meng Chang stared at Mrs. Huarui, "I live like a pig and a dog with trepidation! Maybe one day poisonous wine will be sent again, and it will be a good day?"

Mrs. Huarui cried for a while, then took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and faced Meng Chang with her head down, she was speechless, and the atmosphere became icy. There was only Wei Zhong and the only remaining maid clinking with each other when they put away their bowls.

In fact, even if she is down and out now, she thinks it's okay, and there are servants working and waiting around her. Some small rich and small landlords in the village who have a lot of local wealth do not have servants to serve them. So even if she changed from a pampered concubine to what she is now, Mrs. Huarui can still bear it; but she feels uneasy in her heart, and she has never been at ease... In the past, the Great Shu Kingdom had a large area of ​​land and many troops, and that kind of worry was vague; but now that the threat is gradually increasing, Mrs. Huarui has finally woken up. She thinks that Meng Chang is not reliable at all!

I don't know why, he is very unreliable when he does something from time to time. Perhaps it was caused by long-term obsession with alchemy, or perhaps it was because the (Shu) ancestor left behind a large foundation that could withstand tossing...

At this moment, a scribe walked outside the hall door. Seeing this, Wei Zhong, the eunuch with delicate skin and tender flesh, greeted him outside, and the two muttered for a while outside the door. Wei Zhong turned back and said, "The governor of Xuanhui Academy, Wang Zhenfu, is in the outer room and said he has something important to see his wife."

Mrs. Huarui immediately remembered that Meng Chang had sent someone to contact the general of the Shu army. She was in Tokyo, and others were obviously very wary, and she might be exposed quickly if she did such a small trick. But she immediately felt that something was wrong: "The officials of the Zhou Dynasty should see A Lang if they have something to do. Why do you see me as a woman?"

Wei Zhongdao: "The man didn't say anything, he just said he wanted to discuss an important matter with Madam, please be sure to see him."

After hearing this, Meng Chang said, "I will go with my wife."

So the three of them walked to the entrance of the cave, but were stopped by a clerk: "Governor Wang only saw Mrs. Huarui, you wait here first."

Mrs. Huarui said: "It's not polite for me to go to see people, since you don't see Duke Qin, then forget it."

The clerk said: "Then you can do whatever you want, the Xuanhui Academy is in charge of the old minister's affairs, and there are some ways to talk about some things now."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Hua Rui frowned and asked.

The scribe said: "I don't know, I heard it's a big deal."

Mrs. Huarui hesitated for a while, and finally went to see Wang Zhenfu, wanting to make sure if Meng Chang had been exposed. It's more uncomfortable to hang in your heart than to know the worst outcome.

Mrs. Huarui went out of the cave and was taken to the door of a wing room not far away. Inside, she saw a forty or fifty-year-old Fufu official sitting at the table and waiting. The official was tall and fat, with a big face and small eyes, which looked very greasy, and the sideburns on both sides of the black gauze hat were already grey.

"I have met Governor Wang in person." Madam Huarui made a blessing at the door.

Wang Zhenfu's small eyes stared at Mrs. Huarui and immediately lit up. Mrs. Huarui is now dressed very plainly, wearing an old light blue skirt. The silk material is suitable for her status as a princess, but because of the situation, she dare not dress up too brightly, and the old clothes have faded. However, her beautiful face with bright eyes and white teeth and fair and smooth skin cannot be concealed, and her bulging breasts and graceful figure are also rare beauty in the world. When Meng Chang was the emperor, he liked women with big breasts and good shape, and Mrs. Huarui's favor was also in line with his aesthetics.

"Please come in quickly, let's sit down and talk." Wang Zhenfu excitedly picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea.

Mrs. Huarui stood still, and asked softly, "But I don't know why Governor Wang summoned my concubine as a woman, why?"

Wang Zhenfu bowed his body, with a gesture of wanting to stand up, he finally stabilized, took out a letter and threw it on the table: "You come in first, do you want everyone to know about this by talking like this? Madam should know what this letter is about."

"I don't know who I am." Mrs. Huarui frowned, and glanced at the table.

Wang Zhenfu said coldly: "Meng Chang has a close relationship with Gao Yanchou, and intends to rebel! Don't pretend, you don't know about such important things?"

Mrs. Huarui's heart was tense, she believed that the letter was genuine, otherwise Wang Zhenfu wouldn't have used the secret letter to blackmail her right now. She felt that her mind was sinking continuously, and there was a panic of impending disaster.

Wang Zhenfu said again: "Madam, you know what will happen to you when you hand in this letter?"

Mrs. Huarui is also thinking about her end. The court probably didn't want to support Meng Chang in the first place, and let him live just to show kindness; now that she has the real evidence, she can blatantly get rid of Meng Chang... What about herself, will she be buried with her, or will she kill Meng Chang and be taken as a concubine?

Will Guo Shao take her away? Mrs. Huarui has no idea now. Guo Shao doesn't seem to value her very much. He seems to have forgotten after ignoring him for so long... He is a very young man, younger than himself, rich and prosperous, and has a bright future. Thinking about it this way, Guo Shao is really not necessarily willing to rob him. To do such things, he might have done it long ago.

So Mrs. Huarui didn't say a word, but her face became very pale.

Wang Zhenfu breathed a sigh of relief, and said kindly: "As long as you listen to me, we will quietly burn this letter, don't play it, and destroy the certificate as if nothing happened."

"How does Governor Wang want me to listen to you?" Mrs. Huarui was depressed, her face ashen.

Wang Zhenfu said: "You come in first."

Mrs. Huarui didn't know what to do, so she stepped into the door as she said, but she was careful to be on guard against this strange bureaucrat. When she met this person for the first time, of course she didn't trust him, and the light in Governor Wang's small eyes was obviously lustful and malicious, and Mrs. Huarui's heart was in her throat.

Fortunately, Wang Zhenfu didn't do any violent actions to scare Mrs. Huarui, he just said calmly: "I don't believe you still don't understand what I mean, as long as you..." Wang Zhenfu's eyes moved from Mrs. Huarui's beautiful face to her full breasts that couldn't be concealed.

Mrs. Huarui's scalp felt numb all of a sudden, and her body felt uncomfortably cold.
