Chapter 73: Out of nothing

Wang Pu brought people to free the siege of Scarface, and then went to Wangjiazhuang, where the family was raised in the city. When they returned to the Wangjia Courtyard, it was already dark. At this time, Wang Ju and Wang Hua had already learned about Wang Pu's troops in the daytime and causing trouble in Yihong Courtyard. As soon as Wang Pu came back, the two brothers came to the door.

Wang Ju asked, "Lao San, I heard that you beat Zhao Santai in Yihongyuan?"

Wang Puying said: "This is the case."

Wang Hua also said: "You also redeem the beautiful girl and Hongxing from Yihongyuan for 4,000 taels of silver?"

Wang Pu said again: "Yes."

"Hey, let me tell you what's good." Wang Hua said with a wry smile. "Yihongyuan is an independent business on the surface, but who doesn't know that it is the property of Prince Dai? Without Prince Dai nodding, who dares to redeem Jiao Niang and Hongxing? What's more, the redeemable silver you gave is only 4,000 taels. The third brother, who is the third brother? This time you offended Prince Dai fiercely."

Wang Ju said: "When my father was alive, he often taught us to be low-key and not to offend others easily! Third, you were always very low-key in your past, but why did you feel like you had changed your personalities after going to Liaodong? In just two days after returning to Datong, you offended Prince Dai and Zhao Santai?"

Wang Hua said: "It is a powerful dragon that cannot suppress local snakes. When the 100th day expires, you pat your butt and go to the capital to be the admiral. But your second brother, your elder brother, and such a family must continue to stay in Datong, right?"

"Second brother, the matter is not as serious as you think." Wang Pu said indifferently, "I dare to guarantee that in Datong, no one dares to cause trouble for our Wang family! Eunuch Zhang, I have already said hello. Zhao Santai is just a deputy general. Even if he has the background of Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, he can't make a fuss."

Wang Hua said: "Where is that king?"

Wang Pu said: "Who is King Dai? He can't be unable to get along with our Wang family for the sake of two fans."

Wang Pu said this, but in his heart he wanted to wait for him to pull the army up. What is a mere Dian Wang?

Wang Hua said: "Although the King of Dai doesn't care about local affairs, as long as he has an idea, our Wang family will never have a place to stand in Datong."

"The words are heavy, the second brother is heavy." Wang Pu said, "The King of Dai is quite famous. He cannot do such a thing as oppressing the people. It was not too late. The two sisters-in-law and nieces must be waiting for the eldest brother and second brother to go back to their house for dinner. So, what's the matter tomorrow."

Wang Ju and Wang Hua wanted to say something else, but Wang Pu pushed him out of the door without saying anything.

Back in the room, Wang Pu breathed a long sigh and leaned against the pit and lay down. Amid the sound of footsteps, Chen Yuanyuan, wearing a mourning clothes, had already walked out of the inner room with Lianbu Shanshan and softly advised: "Mr., are you tired?"

Wang Pu looked at Chen Yuanyuan and started to be straightforward. As the saying goes, women should be pretty and filial.

Wang Pu was used to Chen Yuanyuan wearing red makeup. When he suddenly saw her put on a simple white mourning clothes, he suddenly felt a bright look. Chen Yuanyuan was originally charming and charming, and her country was beautiful. Her plain white mourning clothes even made her face look like a snow-covered face, as if she could be broken. It was so moving that she could be as charming as she was.

"My husband, will I squeeze your feet?"

Chen Yuanyuan twisted the willow waist, shook her buttocks and walked to the pit, looking at Wang Pu affectionately. Beauty is a beauty. No matter what clothes she wears, she always looks charming, and even when she walks, she always looks graceful. When people see it, there are ten thousand ants crawling and scratching in their hearts, which is so itchy.

"My grandma, bring the prepared hot water."

"Hey, here it's here."

Chen Yuanyuan turned around and said, Ge Nianniang had already turned out of the inner room with a basin of hot water. Chen Yuanyuan helped Wang Pu to sit up from the pit. While reaching out to take off Wang Pu's boots and socks, she said softly: "My husband, let's burn your feet first, I will pinch you to relieve your fatigue."

"Oh, OK."

Wang Pu blinked his eyes and responded silly.

Chen Yuanyuan took Wang Pu's feet and stepped on the basin, scooped some hot water on his feet, and asked, "My husband, is the water burning?"

Wang Pu suddenly felt an unprecedented warmth, shook his head and said, "Not hot."

Then Chen Yuanyuan helped Wang Pu to step into the hot water, and turned around and said to Neng Niang: "Neng Niang, go and get some coarse salt. If it is melted in the water, it can remove the smell of my husband's feet."

"Why."

The young lady responded crisply and turned around.

At this moment, Zhen Youcai's voice suddenly sounded outside the house: "The villain Zhen Youcai, please see the general."

Wang Pu said angrily: "Come in."

Chen Yuanyuan did not avoid washing Wang Pu's feet in front of outsiders, and squatted and continued to apply hot water to Wang Pu's feet. Zhen Youcai entered the door in a shrinking manner, and did not dare to look at Chen Yuanyuan's squatting Fengzi. He frowned and asked, "General, I heard that in Yihongyuan, you have cleaned up Zhao Santai, the deputy general of Datong Town, in the daytime? He also redeemed the two top fans in Yihongyuan for Scarface?"

"It's because of this." Wang Puwo said in a hurry, "Are you planning to scold me?"

"I dare not." Zhen Youcai said respectfully, "The villain does not think that the general has done something wrong, but rather thinks that the general has done something too right! Especially at this critical moment, if you make such a fuss, many problems will be solved."

"Are you praising me or scolding me?" Wang Pu asked in confusion when he heard this, "I don't have as many intestinalities as you do, just say, what does this mean?"

Zhen Youcai asked back with a thief eyes: "General, are you not planning to return to Beijing?"

Wang Pu was silent for a while and suddenly said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, the water is a little cold. Go and get some hot water."

Chen Yuanyuan was smart and clever, of course she knew Wang Pu's meaning. She immediately responded and got up and went into the inner room. Wang Pu did not believe Chen Yuanyuan, but there were some things that women didn't need to know.

When Chen Yuanyuan left, Wang Pucai asked, "Zhen Youcai, how do you know that I don't plan to return to the capital?"

Zhen Youcai pointed to his head and smiled and said, "I guessed it."

Wang Pu said: "What's the reason?"

Zhen Youcai said: "General, you are doing great things, but there are too many people in the capital who can hold you and even kill you! So the villain dares to assert that after returning to Datong this time, you will not return to the capital in a short time. Maybe one day you will return to the capital, but that will happen at least many years later."

Wang Pu stared at Zhen Youcai straight, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "That's right, let you guess it right."

Zhen Youcai smiled and said, "After the 100-day mourning for the old man, if the general doesn't want to return to the capital, he not only needs a reasonable reason, but also needs an army that can conquer and fight well and is completely loyal to you! But how easy is it to pull up an army that can conquer and fight well within a hundred days?"

Wang Pu sighed: "The reason is easy to find, but the army is difficult to pull. The key is that there are not enough veterans."

Zhen Youcai said, "So just now, the little man said, General, you are making a good deal in Yihongyuan. After you make such a fuss, the problem of not having veterans will be solved."

Wang Pu asked, "How do you say this?"

Zhen Youcai said: "General during the day, you made such a fuss in Yihongyuan. In a few days, this incident will spread throughout Datong Prefecture. At that time, all the soldiers in Datong Town will know that you actually beat Zhao Santai to protect your son, and offend the prince Dai to forcefully redeem the two fans of Yihong Prefecture for Scarface. Also, General, you will give your brothers and pay the pensions to the families of the fallen soldiers. You said, what would the veterans in Datong Town think?"

Wang Pu said: "What would you think?"

Zhen Youcai said: "It's not worth fighting for the court. Only by following the general can you have hope!"

Wang Pu thought for a while and shook his head and said, "But these veterans are all the officials in Datong Town. If they really want to dig them up, Zhao Santaitou refused to agree. Although Zhang Zi'an took my money, he could not refuse to report this matter without telling him. If Emperor Long Sui was charged with a private concealment of desertion, he would probably not be able to take it away?"

Zhen Youcai said: "There is no need for general to poach people, they will start to make trouble first."

Wang Pu said: "How do you say this?"

Zhen Youcai said: "Scarface and others told the villain that when General, you were the general of Datong, the soldiers of the border army in Datong Town had not paid their wages for more than half a year. If a silver from the court was transported to Datong at this time, they were used to reimburse the soldiers' wages, and the money was greedy by Zhang Zi'an, Zhao Santai and others. What would happen, General?"

"If this is true, the soldiers of Datong Town are afraid of mutiny!" Wang Pu Ning said, "But the court did not bring the silver?"

Zhen Youcai smiled wickedly: "As long as someone releases the news, even if it is fake, it will become real. If tens of thousands of soldiers of the border army really make trouble, who can calm down and listen to Zhang Zi'an, Zhao Santai and others' explanation? This is called making something out of nothing! At that time, Zhang Zi'an and Zhao Santai will definitely not be able to suppress the situation. They must come and ask General, you will come forward to appease the mutiny soldiers."

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "Continue to talk."

Zhen Youcai said: "When Zhang Zi'an and Zhao Santai have arrived at your gate, how should the mutiny soldiers appease you, how should the owed money be reissue, and how to reissue it? That is, General, you have the final say. Although you are not the general of Datong Town, the border soldiers of Datong Town still have to obey your condemnation."

"Okay!" Wang Pu whispered, "You can do this."
