Xiao Mingzhe, the son of Xiao Jiu, is a man of extraordinary means. After several months of open and secret fighting, he successfully exposed Xiao San and Xiao Si's acts of forming a clique for personal gain and bribing courtiers.
By this time, he was actually only one step away from being the young city lord. But Xiao Wende refused to announce it for a long time, Xiao Mingzhe was anxious, but actually had a lot of complaints about his father.
When he first set up Xiao Junlin, he was very happy, and his love for Xiao Junlin could be seen from his name.
Isn't it because he is the eldest son and he belongs to the bastard? If you can choose, who wouldn't want to crawl out of the belly of the mayor's wife!
Xiao Mingzhe has endured for so long, it is impossible to break his merits now, he is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to hit a hit. Unexpectedly, he was so lucky, and this opportunity was quickly brought up by Kou Guanshi—the defense map of Wei Jiajun in Zhinan City!
Xiao Mingzhe was overjoyed, not only promoted Guanshi Kou in an exceptional way, but even the people he brought were generously rewarded.
Xiao Mingzhe went to see City Lord Xiao with the deployment map, and expressed his willingness to lead his troops to Nancheng to relieve his father's worries and personally wipe out Wei Guang's group of rebellious officials and thieves.
This deployment map came too easily, and Xiao Wende hesitated for a while.
Xiao Mingzhe persuaded, "Father, don't worry, my subordinates have repeatedly confirmed this defense plan after getting it, and it is guaranteed to be true. With it, we will definitely catch Wei Guang by surprise. However, soldiers are precious and fast. If the news leaks Let Wei Guang, the traitor, re-arm his defenses, and this great opportunity will be gone."
Xiao Wende had long intended to deal with Wei Guang, not to mention anything else, let Wei Guang be at ease in Zhinan City, the face of his Changwu City Lord Where to put it!
There is only one thing, "Zhinan and Yuxi are not far apart, and they can be reached in ten days by a quick march. The Wei family father and son are fierce generals who fight against ten with one enemy. With them, it is impossible for the Wei family army to support them in a short period of time." No. Once the reinforcements from Xicheng arrive, it will be my troops from Changwu City who will be attacked from both sides."
Mr. Zhang Ge next to him suggested, "The city lord might as well write a letter to Yanjing and Chongning, they will definitely be willing. Help me."
City Lord Xiao also thought about this method, but he was unwilling to let the other two cities pick up the cornucopia of the Shen family.
Mr. Zhang Ge saw his thoughts, stroked his long beard, and his old eyes were full of brilliance, "The city master must have heard that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. When they are exhausted from fighting, let's attack from both sides. They did it all at once... After all, we have the defense plan of the Wei family army, and no one knows about it. The Ninth Young Master solved Wei Guang as quickly as possible, so don't we have a free hand?"
City Lord Xiao's eyes lit up, "Zhang Ge What the old man said makes sense, what do you adults think?"
"Mr. Zhang Ge's plan is very clever. If it goes well, the city lord will take control of Yanjing just around the corner."
"Thanks to the defense plan of the ninth son, otherwise we would not be so easy to deal with Wei Guang. "
In order to prevent things from changing, it is best to let the ninth son bring the Wei family with him. With them, are you afraid that Wei Guang will not open the city gate and surrender?"
... The
more the people talked, the more excited they became, and Xiao Mingzhe also had a look of victory He turned his head and urged, "Father?"
City Lord Xiao patted him heavily on the shoulder, "Okay, Mingzhe, I will entrust you with the task of exterminating Wei Guang's rebels, and I will wait for you in Changwu City for my father." Good news!"
"Yes, father, Mingzhe will fulfill his mission!" Xiao Mingzhe quickly knelt down to accept the order, and when he looked up at City Lord Xiao, his face was full of admiration.
Seeing this, City Master Xiao felt comforted, and couldn't help wondering if he was being too suspicious. The kid Mingzhe still respected him...
While helping him up, he promised, "Mingzhe, when you come back victorious, I will serve my father well." I will officially announce to the world that you are the heir of my Xiao Wende and the future heir of my Great Xiao!" Xiao
Mingzhe was overjoyed, "Father, Mingzhe will definitely not let you down!"
***
Xiao Mingzhe came out of the City Lord's Mansion, For the first time ever, he went to see Xiao Junlin.
"Brother, my father is going to make me the young city lord soon, no, it should be the future prince of our Great Xiao. You will call me soon, His Royal Highness."
Xiao Junlin paused for a moment while holding the pen holder. , A good calligraphy and painting, because of this small pause, there are flaws. Just like him, if you take a wrong step, you will never turn back.
He took a deep breath, "Xiao Mingzhe, isn't it too early for you to show off your power now? I, Xiao Junlin, are the young city lord now!" Xiao
Mingzhe's expression changed, and he soon laughed again, "Brother , I really admire you, because of Wei Yingying, a bitch who can abandon even blood relatives. Not only did I become a cripple, but I also lost the chance to win the big position. Do you regret it now?"
Xiao Junlin sneered , sarcastically said, "If it wasn't for my leg injury, do you think you, a bastard born to a lowly dancer, would have a chance to be in power?
" It is also his eternal pain.
Xiao Mingzhe cut Xiao Junlin inch by inch with his cold eyes, and then he laughed nervously, "Okay, very good! My good brother, it doesn't matter if you are stubborn now, let's wait and see!"
Then he strode out, walked halfway, and turned around, "By the way, your ex-fiancé, Wei Chengyue, is already engaged, and you arranged this marriage yourself. People didn't think much of you. Well, I turned around and married Shen Yuan. I heard that Shen Yuan promised in front of Wei Guang and everyone that Wei Chengyue is enough for him in this life. Shen Yuan's acting skills are much better than yours. I didn't see him fooling Wei Chengyue For a moment, even the Wei family army got in!"
Xiao Junlin was stunned, and for some reason suddenly remembered Wei Chengyue's clear cat's eyes. Wei Chengyue was only eleven years old when they got engaged, and his fiancé seemed to have no other meaning to him other than having an extra playmate.
But he already knew about the personnel, so he was naturally very disappointed with such a husband. He couldn't disobey his father's will, so he could only treat Wei Chengyue indifferently. Wei Chengyue bumped into a wall with him a few times, and gradually she no longer invited him to play together, and even avoided him. The two are called fiancee, but their relationship is actually quite distant.
The only time Wei Chengyue asked him for help was when he framed him for "adultery". He designed it himself, so how could he respond?
Thinking about it now, Wei Chengyue is so innocent, but just like him, he is just a pawn that he can't help himself.
Now that he is engaged to Shen Yuan, it seems to be a good thing, but when the Wei family is useless, how can he know that Shen Yuan will not turn his face and be ruthless?
After all, a brother like Wei Chengyue can't end well...
When Xiao Junlin was in high spirits, he didn't care about other people's lives at all, but now that he's down, it's inevitable that he has a little empathy. While sympathizing with Wei Chengyue, he still didn't forget to make excuses for his unfeeling back then. It seems that if I think so, I can feel at ease...
***
Old Mrs. Wei, Wei Ling, Li Shi and others were locked in a private house in Changwu City. It looked ordinary on the outside, but in fact it was tightly guarded inside.
But no matter how closely guarded they were, it was impossible for City Lord Xiao's private soldiers to treat them too well.
"It's time to eat!" The
two guards carried a bucket of food into the yard, threw it on the ground at random, and shouted loudly, regardless of whether the food in the bucket would spill out or not.
Hearing the call, three men and four women rushed out of the small courtyard in an instant, it was Mrs. Wei, Wei Ling and his one wife and two concubines, and two brothers Wei Xiuyong and Wei Jiayuan. Among them, Mrs. Wei's legs and feet did not change because of her age, so she was supported by Wei Xiuyong to walk behind.
The seven of them were all unkempt and embarrassed. There was no well in their courtyard, so the guards would not be kind enough to bring them water. They had to beg and beg every time, and even made Wei Ling's two concubines sell themselves before the guards were willing to bring them some water and daily necessities.
Because of this matter, Wei Ling's two concubines always rushed to the front every time they ate.
At this moment, they took out their broken bowls, and each of them scooped up a bowl full of mixed food from the bucket, and scooped away the only little meat residue in it.
Wei Ling and Wei Jiayuan watched obediently, and when the two walked away, they rushed over impatiently. It's not that they want to let the two concubines serve, but that the two women will act coquettishly and sue the guards, and the guards are also happy to have fun, not to mention bullying Wei Ling and others will give them a sense of accomplishment.
These people didn't pay attention to their shouting and drinking in the past, but now they have to crawl over for a bite to eat.
Wei Ling was originally a handsome middle-aged scribe, but now he can't see his original demeanor at all. He was unshaven, and because of hunger and endless torment, his complexion was blue and black, and his face was pulled down, and he was extremely emaciated.
Completely ignoring his wife, children and old mother, he snatched a bowl of rice with a broken bowl, and then began to grab it with his hands, eagerly stuffing it into his mouth.
Behind him, Wei Jiayuan and Li's mother and son were already fighting over a single bite, "Wei Jiayuan, do you still have a conscience? I'm your mother!
" While grabbing food from the bucket with her hands, she said, "The mother would rather starve herself to death than feed her son. Which mother is like you, grabbing food from her own son! If it weren't for you for that bitch Wei Yingying Why is our family like this?"
Whenever Wei Yingying, the culprit, eats delicious food and drinks spicy food outside, and they are starved and tortured here, Wei Jiayuan's teeth itch with hatred.
Seeing that the two of them were about to scrape up the bottom of the bucket, a guard kicked the bucket, "You f*cking starving ghosts reincarnated, save some for the old woman. If she starves to death, I will cut your skin alive Already !"
Li Shi and Wei Jiayuan paused, reluctantly grabbed a small ball of rice from the bowl and put it back into the bucket, then firmly protected their bowls and hid in the corner.
Wei Xiuyong swallowed, and scooped out the last bit of soup and rice from the bottom of the bucket with a thick bowl that he wiped clean, not even a single grain of rice was spared.
He gave most of it to Mrs. Wei, "Grandmother, it's time to eat."
Mrs. Wei didn't even bother to say a word, she stretched out a hand like dry bark, grabbed the rough rice grains and stuffed them into her mouth.
Wei Xiuyong smiled wryly, and finished his little bit of food cherishingly. Because he had to take care of his grandmother, among these people, he was the thinnest.
In fact, he didn't need to do this. With these guards around, Mrs. Wei would not starve to death no matter what. Because they are pinched together, they are not as important as the grandmother's position in the second uncle's heart.
He just couldn't pass the test in his heart. As a son and elder brother, he really couldn't compete with his parents and younger brother for food.
Or starve to death, he won't have to face more cruel things if he dies - if the second uncle refuses to compromise, they will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being tortured and killed in front of the battle.
Before the accident at home, Wei Xiuyong had never felt that human nature was so complicated, and it gave him such chills. His handsome father, who would teach him etiquette, righteousness and shame, disappeared, and his mother and younger brother also changed their faces. It is common for them to accuse and abuse each other, and even quarrel and fight.
Now it's just because I don't have enough to eat and I don't have the strength to argue. This delicate balance may be broken because of a trivial matter. In their eyes, family affection is not as important as a bowl of swill...
