Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh five-color flag
The gentry in Huayin County was ready to receive the reception. As soon as Zhao Guanhou's team entered the city, someone immediately sent a batch of rations and meat. It was stipulated in advance that the army did not need silver dollars or women. As a must-have wine, meat and food, all the money would be paid at the price. The gentry naturally welcomed this team, and the same was true for the position of ordinary residents.
Some women who had to blacken their faces during Guo Jian's occupation, wore a cotton jacket and hid them at home and did not dare to go out can restore their true colors and even put on powder. They wore satin cotton jackets hidden in some corners, and stood on the street to watch the soldiers in the city. After all, in Shangnan, many wealthy families had married officers, which is a good marriage that cannot be missed.
Under the five-colored flag, Zhao Guanhou, who was riding on the white dragon horse, was wearing a brand new dress. The sunset fell on the medal on his chest, shining brightly. The troops were stomping in a straight stance, lifting their military boots high and landing on the ground, making a crisp sound of tapping. These men and women who were used to playing swordsmen were all looking straight. A few old scholars shouted in tears: "Secretary Wang, this is the Secretary Wang!"
Zhao Guanhou's mansion was chosen in the office where Guo Jian used to work. It was already controlled by Zhensong Army. When he arrived, Liu Zhenhua immediately came out and said, "Master! Bei Zhi led the guard company to protect the office very well. The stolen goods and gang members gathered by Guo thieves were properly placed, and no one moved at all."
Lu Du’s good fish color is already an open secret. Liu Zhenhua took a step forward and lowered his voice: “Guo thief did evil and forced himself to steal several women, all of whom are in the inner house. Now he is in the guards arranged by Bei Zhi himself, and no one touches a finger…”
Sure enough, the office was well protected, with simple maps on the wall, wine pots on the table, and calligraphy written by Guo Jianxing, all of which were placed there. There was no change from before, as if he was still waiting for the owner to come back.
The female relatives were gathered in a mansion. They did not cry, and their eyes were not afraid, but were empty or numb. Perhaps they had guessed that they were waiting for their own destiny, and then they took it calmly. Since they were forcibly taken as concubine by Guo Jian, they had learned to accept their fate. This time, it was nothing more than a man or a group of men to possess themselves.
Although the guards outside did not dare to infringe on them, all kinds of vulgar jokes and dirty talk were still unscrupulously passed into the room. They discussed whether a certain wife had small feet or a certain wife's skin was whiter, who would this Duke Lu like and who would reward her brothers below.
Suddenly, all these jokes stopped, and then there was a burst of woman's scolding. The sound was loud and fierce. The scolded guards did not dare to say anything, but instead kept admitting their mistakes. Later, there was a slap in the face.
When a woman slapped a man in the face, the women in the room were a little confused. Even when he was Guo Jian's concubine, he would not hit his subordinates for his sake, let alone now? Who is this, and who has such great ability to make women ride on men's heads?
When the door opened, the person who walked in was not Lu Du who was choosing goods, but a woman wearing a robe with red satin and white fox fur. She was not too old, with a beautiful appearance and a different temperament from an ordinary lady. She was not arrogant, but very friendly. Behind her was a girl of the same beauty, following her for serving her.
The fear of these women has not decreased, but has increased a lot. Women often treat women more ruthlessly than men. Maybe she will make the decision in the next moment, selling these vixen or giving them to the soldiers.
The woman who came in looked at them and smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I am the wife of the Jiangbei Inspection Commissioner. Here we will see you. I came from Qiangbai. Who among you is Qiangbai. Say your name and I will send you home for travel expenses. We are counting Guo Jian's property, and we will share it according to the number of people. Everyone has a sum of money. If you don't want to stay in Shaanxi, you can go to Shandong with me..."
Zhao Guanhou searched in Guo Jian's office and packed the spoils into a small package with satisfaction. Yang Cuiyu looked at him, "Even the congressman has contact with him, which is unexpected. And these telegrams that communicate with Yunnan, if they are made public, maybe we will have to celebrate the New Year in Kunming next year."
"It's too far from home, I don't want to go. So these things cannot be put into the newspaper office, so we can only give them to the president ourselves. In the future, the president will burn in front of Cai Feng, and the clouds will disperse in one day. After a few months away from home, I also miss our children. Go home and hug a few young people. Then, the whole family is not very good to play cards, and it's boring to kill each other when they see the sky."
Cuiyu smiled and said, "I'm afraid there is another Miss Hannah who wants my Guanhou to pursue it with all his heart. In the past two years, you have not used such great energy and so much thoughts on a woman."
Zhao Guanhou did not deny it and only handed the things to Cuiyu. "How is Yang Yuzhu?"
"She is the condition. I think you can consider agreeing to her. Guo Jian is very popular among swordsmen. If these people do anything rash to save him, it will be very troublesome. Why not take a step back? I think it will be beneficial to the overall situation."
"If you ask someone to bring her, I will talk to her, hoping that she is a wise man. The current situation, even if the more than 20,000 surrendered soldiers are mutiny, it will only be a death sentence, and it will not change the major situation. I think Yang Yuzhu, who is known as the female Zhuge, should be able to see the relationship here."
The Lu army had sufficient supplies, and Zhao Guanhou's special care, Yang Yuzhu was very nutritious and had a good complexion. Liu Peixuan specially prepared a very expensive mink coat for her, and put a lot of pearls and jade embellishments on her head, making her look more and more wise. The four female soldiers were half supported and half hostage, surrounded her and brought her into the Marshal's Mansion from outside.
Along the way, both the people and the newly captured prisoners could be seen clearly, which confirmed the previous words of the prisoners outside the city. Yang Yuzhu indeed became Zhao Guanshuai's concubine. Otherwise, how could there be such good clothes to wear and so many jewelry?
Some people couldn't help but curse Shui Xingyanghua, but then a butt stock was smashed over. The one who beat people the most was not the Lu army, but the Zhensong army that had just surrendered. These generals treated their comrades the most severe way in the past, and they never hesitated to beat, scold, kill. There were already more than a dozen corpses on the streets.
The Chang'an Revenge Column, the Qiangbai Revenge Column, and even the Shaanxi Pingtung Camp were naturally not much better than Guo Jian and his people. Yang Yuzhu saw these old-fashioned brothers everywhere, and were now being pulled around like animals, punched and kicked. Some people who had never scolded her shouted
"Sister Yuzhu... The third wife... Give us a pleasure! Show compassion and give us a pleasure!"
Immediately, these tough guys, who were eager to revenge, were knocked over to the ground by the guards around them, and fell mercilessly.
Therefore, when she saw Zhao Guanhou, she said in her first sentence: "Give the prisoners the treatment they deserve, this is the civilization that your Lu Army claims to be. Although I have never read foreign books, I have learned from foreign nuns for a few days in Chang'an and understand some foreign rules. You are abused by prisoners!"
"They are taking revenge. Of course, the Zhensong Army is not included. The people in Shaanxi are avenging their relatives or serving their bosses. I don't want to get along with the public opinion, so I can only tell them not to go too far. Think about Chang'an and Qiangbai. You have been to Dali by yourself. You should know how miserable the people were killed and how resentful the people were. Because they couldn't pay military pay, they were skinned. What's the fault of them? In the past, your brother had a knife in his hand, and he could only be kept in his heart. But this does not mean that it's okay, it just means that he saved his anger. Now it's time to pay interest. I think Miss Yuzhu himself should understand the scale here."
"I understand, but I still hope that they can die with dignity!" Hearing the fire in Chang'an, Yang Yuzhu had nothing to say, so she had to take a step back. "Even if they deserve to die, they should be punished according to the law and cannot be lynched."
"I'll do my best. By the way, don't you care about Guo Jian? That's a hero in Guanzhong and the culprit. You don't want to know, how is he now?"
Yang Yuzhu shook her head, "Cao Shiying, Gao Jun has a good meal and a good living, I believe you will not be in trouble for the army. As a hero, you will not make things difficult for another hero. This is the demeanor that a hero should have. If you are a petty man, you are not qualified to be his opponent. So I believe that you will not make things difficult for him, and you will also let him die with dignity."
"I really didn't expect that you know me very well, at least you know me better than the gentry in Huayin and also know me better than Peixuan. They all hope that I will push Guo Jian out to parade in the streets and cut into pieces. What do you think?"
Yang Yuzhu snorted coldly and untied her coat as if provocatively. "When the man made a condition with me, in the end, he wanted me to surrender to them. I have nothing now, and what I have is my body. I am in your hands and I can't resist. If you want, just take it away without saying these words to scare me. If you are willing to let Guo Jian go, I will be grateful to you for the rest of your life. If you don't let him go, I have nothing to say."
Zhao Guanhou smiled and covered the leather jacket on her shoulders. "It's cold, be careful to freeze. You are not afraid of the cold, and the one in your belly is also afraid. I really want to negotiate a deal with you, but I don't want you to accompany me. I want you to comfort the Shaanxi army for me. This does not mean I am afraid of them, but just to keep this area safe."
He pointed his finger outside the window, and the sound of firecrackers was floating in the window. At the same time, the sound of gongs and drums and shouts came in, which was very lively.
"This is the city celebrating Guo Jian's evil deeds and the extermination of the king's rescue. The gentry took out the money and asked someone to dance yangge and hold a meeting. Today is like the New Year. What is this? This is the heart of the people! The people are afraid of you and even more afraid of fighting. They all hope to restore peace as soon as possible so that people can live a better life."
"Those big families are afraid of us, but the poor are not afraid of them!"
Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "Don't say that, I recruit soldiers in Shaanxi, and it's easy to recruit soldiers. Most of the people who join the army are poor. They like you because they like you to release food, but not like you forcing them to take a knife to raid our guns. Of course, the governors in Shaanxi are very bad, and the wealthy families are also bad, but Guo Jian is not much better. The real benefit is those who are brave and cruel in the village but cannot serve crops with peace of mind. These people follow Guo Jian and can get what they want by force. But people should live by their duty. If they rely on their knife to be bigger, they think they should live better than others. This is unreasonable. Without rules, they cannot be square. Guo Jian broke a rule but did not set new rules for others. This is his fault. The reason why I value you is that you have been working hard to set a rule."
Seeing Zhao Guanhou lowering his head, Yang Yuzhu smiled without fear, and a hint of contempt in her eyes. No matter how nice the mouth sounds, aren't you going to rush towards her now?
But unlike what she imagined, Zhao Guanhou did not mean to infringe on her, but helped her up and came to the window. "Listen, how nice and pleasant the firecrackers sound? If you don't believe it, I can help you outside to see how sweet the people smile, how many women dare to show up in the streets and alleys. Can those store shops be opened again? There is a girl in my house named Fuman. You should ask how her family died."
"No need, I've seen her." Yuzhu shook her head, her face turned pale. Even though she was eloquent on weekdays, she had nothing to say at this time. Zhao Guanhou said again:
"If those Shaanxi troops rebel, if they don't need my men to take action, the Zhensong Army will kill them all. The most feared thing about these rebels is Guo Jian to fight back. They must have more ruthless methods when they kill Guo Jian. Everyone will kill each other and end up suffering. Since you are known as Yang Guanyin, in addition to being beautiful, you should also have a compassionate heart. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about those young men who love you, and you should think about these people, and destroy the order that has finally been restored again. Is it good or bad for them?"
"What should Guo Jian do? Does he deserve to be harmed? He... he is not a bad person, he is just confused for a moment..."
Yang Yuzhu was a little excited, but the medicine Liu Peixuan gave her was very heavy. When she was excited, she became dizzy and tinnitus and weak in her limbs. Zhao Guanhou took her hand, helped her back to her seat, and poured her a cup of tea.
"I can let you meet Guo Jian. As for your conditions, I can agree. However, I also want you to agree to me with a condition and stay with me... Don't worry, not to accompany me. I am going to set up a female police investigation brigade in Shandong. I have a wife named Feng Xi. She is very good at doing this. She is very good, but she is not good at strategy. If you can assist her, it is a perfect match. This is all about our transaction. Whether we agree or not will be all in you."
A woman's police investigation? Can women be patrol officers? Yang Yuzhu looked at Zhao Guanhou and was quite surprised. Since she became a prisoner, she has seen a lot of strange things about the Lu army. For example, foreigners can have the power to command the battlefield, such as shrew camps, and wives and concubines who can coach the machinery...
However, the female police investigation showed that there was no strange story about Shaanxi, which is more conservative than the mainland. Even Guo Jian could not do such a rebellious thing.
