Chapter 472 ?
This time when I came to Longmen County, Li Hao gave Xue Rengui a lot of face.
In Wan Deyong's view, as long as his son-in-law follows the young master in front of him, his future success is just around the corner.
Cheng Yinyin didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Hao like this. In her opinion, everything about Li Hao's behavior of protecting his son. As a son of the general, she could understand it completely.
After all, if you don’t take care of your subordinates, how can you expect others to work hard for you in the future?
The Zhu family is not far from the county government. After walking for a short while, they arrived at a large-scale house.
Looking up, the vermilion door was about five feet wide, and there were six or seven servants in black at the door. Just above the door, there were two huge golden characters: Zhu Mansion.
Seeing Xue Rengui wearing a bright armor appearing in front of the door, he was looking up and down at his home door with cold eyes. One of the servants at the door walked out of the door, standing on the steps at the gate, and looking forward with his nostrils: "Who is coming, what's going on?"
Just a local snake with some power in Jiangzhou, he dared to speak in front of him so arrogantly, which made the big-headed soldiers behind Xue Rengui endure it.
Before Xue Rengui could speak, one of them walked out, with a cold face and a stern tone: "Let your master come out, the governor of the Ocean Navy of the Tang Dynasty, and the Sanyuan County Master Li Houye specially ordered General Xue Rengui to come and pick people up."
What? Refer to someone?
When did my master become a prisoner?
The servants guarding the gate used to be arrogant and domineering, but they could not bear such stimulation. They immediately sneered: "Hmph, I think you came to make trouble on purpose, right? What do you mean by the navy commander, Sanyuan County Hou, my master, let alone not breaking the law, even if he really broke the law, there will be a local government to deal with it. What does it have to do with your navy?"
The big head soldiers didn't like that family. I thought that the group of people from Ling Mansion had been commonplace to follow Li Hao into and out of the palace in the past.
Now he was criticized by servants from several places, which made him not angry.
Just as I was about to take advantage of the topic and say something, my shoulders were heavy, but Xue Rengui behind me said, "Get back!"
The big head soldier did not dare to disobey the military order. Although he was so angry that he could only turn around and retreat, leaving a cold snorkeling.
Seeing this, the servants at the gate of the Zhu family became more and more proud, pointing at Xue Rengui and his party and laughing: "Haha..., you guys who come to fight Qiufeng have seen too many big-headed soldiers. Isn't they just eating military rations for a few days? What's so great about it? I don't even see where this is.
Come to our Zhu family to show off your power and show off your power, and don’t urinate and see what kind of virtue is it? Is it worthy to stand here?"
Xue Rengui is a local from Longmen County and has heard of the Zhu family before.
However, although the Zhu family had some power back then, they were not as arrogant and domineering as they are now, and even the third-rank Hou in the court did not take it seriously.
While thinking, Xue Rengui stepped forward and came to the steps of the Zhu family's main gate with a calm expression. He raised his head slightly and said to the head of the family: "You are so unscrupulous, aren't you afraid of the disaster coming from the mouth and causing disaster for your master?"
"Come to trouble? Haha..." The servant looked at Xue Rengui condescendingly, his eyes full of contempt: "Your name is Xue Rengui, right? I have heard of your reputation, and it seems that you can eat very much... right?"
"Hahaha……"
Listening to his boss's provocative words, the other servants not only did not say anything to dissuade him, but instead burst into laughter with mocking sounds.
After a long time, one of them said, "Xue Rengui, for the sake of the same hometown, I would like to advise you to go back early and to persuade your family that the Master Hou is not something he can afford to do with the Zhu family."
Xue Rengui remained silent, as if he hadn't heard the ridicule just now, and said with confusion: "Oh, why is this? There are gentry in this world who cannot afford to offend the third-rank Hou?"
"It was naturally affordable in the past, but now..."
The head of the servant took over his words and pointed his thumb behind him: "Now..., my son-in-law is a noble family of five surnames and seven hopes. The third son of the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan. His grandfather is the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan. How about it, is this identity enough?!"
Xue Rengui was speechless.
The third son of the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan is such a big name. He is really scary. He just doesn’t know whether he knows Wang Deyuan or not. It should be his third brother, right?
Thinking that the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan asked Li Hao to laugh, although Wang Deyuan, the eldest grandson of the Wang family in Taiyuan, could not be humble in front of him, he was also kind-hearted, Xue Rengui felt extremely fed.
"The Wang family in Taiyuan is not bad. The Zhu family has indeed found a big backer. But no matter how strong the Wang family is, it is not as strong as the court? Do you know that just because of what you said just now, it may bring a catastrophe to the Zhu family?"
"Stop talking nonsense, Xue Rengui, I think you don't cry until you see the coffin, right? Do you think you can stand here with a big tail wolf with five or six people pretending to be a wolf? Let me tell you the truth, if you don't know how to retreat, I will not be missed and let the dog bite people directly. If you are unlucky at that time, you will not be unlucky, but you will also involve others and suffer."
Xue Rengui originally thought that if he could not do it, he tried not to do it. After all, Li Hao was just passing by Longmen County and interfered in this matter to give him a face in front of his father-in-law.
But the current situation does not allow him to continue to accommodate. If he cannot bring the head of the Zhu family to Li Hao, then his benefactor will lose all his face.
Thinking of this, Xue Rengui no longer talked to those servants, raised his hand and waved it forward gently, and said two words in his mouth: "Take it all!"
"No!" The guards who followed Xue Rengui were already impatient. At the same time, they rushed towards the servants like wolves and tigers. They knocked everyone down in a few seconds, kicked open the gate of the Zhu family, and threw the limp people into the yard.
"Who!"
"Bold, who dares to come to the Zhu family to cause trouble!"
"Come, come quickly, some officers and soldiers are coming to the door!"
The Zhu family servants in the yard did not know what was happening outside. Seeing that the door was kicked open, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed into the crowd, and they were in a mess in an instant. Some people ran around and shouted, some people shouted, and several outlaws rushed towards Xue Rengui and his party with sticks and swords.
However, these crops were not the opponents of the trained Marine Corps officers and soldiers. Anyone who dared to rush up was beaten to howl in a few seconds. When they realized that they wanted to run away, they were already kicked to the ground and made a group of mandarin ducks with the servants who had thrown in at the door before.
By the time the person in charge of the Zhu family came out, there were no more people in the front yard who could move.
"Stop, hurry up... stop!"
Zhu Maocai, the contemporary head of the Zhu family, was about sixty years old. With the help of his servants, he rushed over as fast as possible. Before the person showed up, his voice had already been heard from afar.
However, he was still a little underestimated by the people Xue Rengui brought. After shouting, he realized that the servants who had hired for a lot of money had already been controlled by the other party and were squatting together and trembling.
This scene made Zhu Mao so proud that he was the seven orifices of smoke. He pointed at Xue Rengui and said angrily: "Who are you? What happened to my Zhu family? Are you going to break into a private house? Is there any other way to the king?"
"You are the head of the Zhu family, right?" Xue Rengui naturally knew the head of the Zhu family, but the tall and arrogant head of the Zhu family was not even considered a character in his eyes.
"So what?" Zhu Maocai said with his neck in his arms.
Xue Rengui had a blank expression on his face: "You'll go with me, my general wants to ask you."
"Who is your general? What's the matter with me?"
Zhu Maocai is no better than those uninformed servants. Just by the dress and outfits of Xue Rengui and the men he brought, he could see that this team of officers and soldiers were not ordinary government troops, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
"My general is the governor of the Ocean Navy, the prince's attendant Li Dejian, the prince's attendant of Sanyuan County." Xue Rengui did not conceal Li Hao's identity. It would be useless to hide such a thing. It would be better to directly say it to shock the other party.
But the facts prove that Li Dejian's name is indeed easy to use.
The old man who had just expressed righteous indignation instantly wilted and his face changed drastically: "Li, Hou Li? Prince Wei?"
"Yes, Zhu family, come with me to Longmen County Government, and my general will be waiting for you there."
"Uh... OK, OK, OK, this young general, please wait for me to change my clothes."
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.
Li Dejian was the one who dared to kill even the children of aristocratic families, and his reputation spread all over the world.
Although Zhu Maocai has the Wang family as his backer, he is not so confused that he thinks that the Wang family will fight to the death with Li Hao for himself.
Not to mention, although the Zhu family has always said to the public that the third son of the Wang family's legitimate family is his son-in-law, the actual situation is that the Zhu family is just a concubine who has added a house. Although he is quite favored at the moment, he is still far from the position of the wife of the main wife.
Therefore, the Zhu family is not as important to the Wang family as the one at the door before described.
If both sides really show off their faces, Zhu Mao can be sure that the Wang family will definitely not fight to the death with Duke Wei because of them.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Maocai, who had changed his clothes, appeared again in front of Xue Rengui, and accompanied by the official family of the Zhu family and twenty maids. Each of the maids held a tray with red cloth covering them.
When he arrived in front of Xue Rengui, Zhu Maocai pointed to the tray in the hands of the twenty maids and said, "This general, brothers, come and work hard, I hope the general will accept it."
Even a fool can guess something under the red cloth.
A few doorkeepers who were too powerful to force before were frightened to see this situation and their faces turned pale.
Even the person who even the head of his family gave gifts was blocked by himself and others at the door and taught him a lesson, and even let the dog bite him.
If the other party holds a grudge and tells the previous incident, he will probably not be able to save his life if he is alone.
Thinking of this, the "security chief" at the door rolled his eyes and fainted, the kind that could not wake up no one shouted.
Xue Rengui looked at the trays held in front of him, not too much, not too little, exactly twenty, and the number of people he brought was exactly twenty. He shook his head: "Master Zhu's family should take back the things, and he will not receive any reward without any merit."
"How can this work, brothers..."
Xue Rengui interrupted him without waiting for Zhu Mao to finish his words: "If the head of the Zhu family is ready, let's set off. Don't let my general wait anxiously."
Behind him, the black-armored guards didn't even look at the pallets. Since they followed Li Hao, only a few dozen taels of silver, they were about the same income as their half-year. If they were driven out of the Ocean Navy because they received such a little money, the loss would be great.
Seeing that Xue Rengui had no intention of collecting money, Zhu Maocai had no choice but to order the maids to go down, and he took the butler to the carriage.
There was nothing to say along the way. After a while, the group returned to Yaxian County again and returned to Wan Deyong's guest room.
Xue Rengui stepped forward at the first time: "God, father-in-law, and head of the Zhu family."
"Yeah!" Li Hao nodded, his smile calmed down, and glanced at Zhu Maocai: "Master Zhu, I heard that your family is married to the Wang family in Taiyuan?"
Zhu Maocai, who was already a little nervous, was sweating coldly now. He had just heard Xue Rengui call Wan Deyong his father-in-law. With Li Hao's attitude at this time, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that his family had been in trouble that he shouldn't have caused.
"Yes, the villain Zhu Maocai, the third son of the Wang family, took the villain's granddaughter as his concubine."
"The Wang family's legitimate family is really getting worse and worse." Li Hao curled his lips and turned to Xue Rengui and said, "Let's ask Wang Deyuan what's going on with his third brother? Why do you bring all kinds of things to your home? Is the current standard for choosing a spouse in the Wang family in Taiyuan so low? If so, next time I will introduce him to a Turkic woman."
Xue Rengui didn't say anything. He knew that Li Hao was just taking the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with Zhu Maocai and did not mean to let him pass the message.
"House Li..."
"Why, do you think I was wrong? If so, you can just say it directly. I am not a person who can't listen."
Li Hao stared at Zhu Maocai with a red face and said in an indifferent tone: "Of course, before this, I need to know where the grain in Longmen County's granary went, hundreds of thousands of stones, and it was pushed there so much, but where did that pile of grain go now? Master Zhu, can you tell me?"
His face turned red because of Li Hao's humiliating words and suddenly turned pale. Zhu Maocai lost his mouth and denied: "Mr. Li, how do you know about this kind of thing? The granary belongs to Longmen County and has always been under the jurisdiction of the county. If the food is gone, you should ask... ask..."
Zhu Maocai wanted to ask Wan Deyong, but when he said that he remembered Xue Rengui's previous title of County Magistrate Wan, he immediately stopped talking.
