The next day, the team went on the road again, but there was one more carriage. Of course, Yu Wenfeng still sat in the first carriage. Since Zheng Wei could drive the carriage, the two guards were relieved from the job of driving the carriage.
Da Ma walked in front of the team, and Niu Er drove the second carriage. In the car were her wife and Zheng Kang. It was almost noon and they finally arrived at the final stop of the trip - Jinzhou.
Jinzhou is north of Di Du, about five or six days' journey from Di Du. It is a small city in the north of Daqin, with a population of about 50,000. It is about three days' journey from the northern defense line of the empire.
Therefore, there are 3,000 permanent border troops and 1,000 city defense troops. The border troops are stationed in the military camp north of Jinzhou, so that they can directly go north to support. Yu Wenji once served as the local garrison of Jinzhou here, and was in charge of the 3,000 border troops.
.
Therefore, Yu Wenji had a house and some land in Jinzhou City. Of course, Yu Wenfeng didn't know how big the house was and how much land he had.
One mile away from the gate of Jinzhou City, Yu Wenfeng's voice came from the carriage: "How long will it take to reach Jinzhou?"
One of the guards quickly said: "Master, there is still about one mile." After hearing this, Yu Wenfeng said: "Stop." After the carriage stopped, Zheng Wei cleverly opened the door of the carriage, and Yu Wenfeng left.
come out.
Looking at Jinzhou from a distance, he was lost in thought for a while. Compared with Di Du, the city walls of Jinzhou were much lower and the city gates were also much shorter. Yu Wenfeng thought to himself: This is the city where he will live in the future.
"Enter the city." After saying that, he got into the carriage again. No one in the team understood why the young master suddenly got off the carriage. But this was just a small episode.
Under the leadership of the two guards, they entered Jinzhou City directly, and then drove directly to the house that Yu Wenji bought. Both guards had been there before, so the escort task fell on them.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and the two guards got off their horses. One went to knock on the door, and the other walked towards the carriage and said, "Master, we are home." After Zheng Wei heard this, he opened the door of the carriage.
Yu Wenfeng got off the carriage, but he sneered in his heart: Home, is this my home? At this time, Niu Er, his wife holding the child, and Zheng Kang and Zheng Wei all came to Yu Wenfeng. Yu Wenfeng raised his head and looked at it.
In this house, a large plaque hangs across the main entrance, showing the character of a warrior, and the stone lion in front of the door shows the vicissitudes of life.
It is as if he has witnessed the defeat of this house. It is not difficult to understand. It was Yu Wenji who purchased this house as a local guard. Coupled with the big sign of Yuwen's family, of course there is an endless stream of people coming to visit, but now
Yu Wenji is gone, who else will come to visit?
In less than a minute, the door opened, and the guard brought an old man about fifty years old to Yu Wenfeng. Yu Wenfeng looked at the old man who came over carefully.
The old man was dressed in brocade clothes. Although his face was wrinkled, he was full of energy. It looked like he had been pampered for a long time. Behind the old man were several servants wearing green cotton-padded clothes. When the old man arrived in front of Yu Wenfeng, he bent down.
He saluted and said: "I have seen the young master."
Yu Wenfeng raised his hand to support him and said: "Get up, I don't know what to call the old man?" "No, no, the old slave's name is He Li, and he is the housekeeper left by the master.", "Since he is an elder, let me call him.
It’s Uncle Ho.”
..The meeting between the master and the servant at the door can only be described by the word harmony. It really couldn't be more harmonious. Although both of them are smiling, who knows what they are thinking in their hearts.
Under the leadership of Uncle He, the group entered the gate. As for the carriages and horses, of course they could not enter through the main entrance. Naturally, there were servants leading the followers in. After walking for about ten minutes, no one else was seen along the road, so Yuwen
Feng was slightly confused, but immediately put his mind aside.
I paid close attention to the house and finally saw this nominal "side house" along the way. I thought to myself: It is really a waste to buy such a big house just to live in it for a few years.
Yu Wenfeng didn't know that when you have power, you will naturally have money. This house was given by a local wealthy businessman after Yu Wenji took office. After thinking about it for a while, he started to look around again and found this house.
He didn't seem defeated without a master. It could be seen that Uncle He carefully considered everything in an orderly manner.
When the group of people arrived at the entrance of the hall, they saw a little maid waiting there. Uncle He said to the little maid: "You haven't seen the young master yet, why are you still standing there?"
After hearing this, the little maid quickly saluted Yu Wenfeng and said, "I have met the young master." Yu Wenfeng nodded and said, "Get up." Then she entered the hall under the leadership of Uncle He, who led Yu Wenfeng to sit down.
After getting off, Yu Wenfeng said: "Uncle He, let the female family members stay and rest first."
After hearing this, Uncle He was confused, but he still called out, "Come here." The little maid who was outside just now walked in. Without Uncle He's instructions, the little maid had just heard Yu Wenfeng outside the hall.
Then she walked directly to Niu Er's sister-in-law and said: "Please." Niu Er's sister-in-law glanced at Niu Er, saw Niu Er nodded, and walked out with the child in his arms." Uncle He looked at this scene with doubts in his eyes.
Flash past.
Seeing Mrs. Niu go out, Uncle He said to Yu Wenfeng: "Master, there are forty-four servants including old slaves, twenty-seven servants, and seventeen maids in the house. They are all waiting in the garden now.
I will meet the young master later."
"Okay, please lead the way, Uncle He." After saying that, he stood up, and Uncle He walked out immediately. At this time, Yu Wenfeng and his party also followed. Niu Er followed Yu Wenfeng closest, and the two brothers Zheng Wei and Zheng Kang
Secondly, there were two guards at the end. When he came out of the hall, Yu Wenfeng was half a step behind and whispered to Niu Er: "Brother Niu Er, get ready, or I will use the knife later."
After hearing this, Niu Er felt confused. Just now he felt that the master and servant were harmonious, so why did he want to use the knife? But no matter what, since he decided to join Yu Wenfeng, for the sake of his wife and children, he had no choice but to use the knife.
After thinking about it, he kept holding the handle of the knife with his right hand.
The two brothers Zheng Wei and Zheng Kang also heard what Yu Wenji just said, and they were extremely shocked. However, thinking of the signed contract of betrayal, they also became extremely firm in their steps. The men of Da Qin will never lack passion. The two of them
A guard walked at the back and didn't hear Yu Wenfeng's words, but he also felt that the atmosphere in front was a bit strange, and felt that there was a bit of a chilling atmosphere.
After a while, I arrived at the garden and saw a large group of people. Some were talking in low voices, while others were standing upright. Seeing Uncle He coming over, they all became quiet. Uncle He came over and turned around.
Let Yu Wenfeng out.
This was the first time that everyone saw the nominal young master in this mansion. At this time, Uncle He said loudly: "Quick, come and see the young master." Dozens of people all came to greet Yu Wenfeng and said: "See you.
Pass young master."
This was the first time that Yu Wenfeng saw so many people giving him gifts. He didn't know what it felt like, but he felt strange. Fortunately, no joke was made and he said: "Everyone, get up."
At this time, a middle-aged man about forty years old came out and said to Yu Wenfeng: "I wonder what the young master has to teach you?" The word "little" was emphasized very hard, with a mocking expression on his face.
meaning.
Yu Wenfeng thought to himself: Sure enough, here we are, hey, where there are people there are rivers and lakes, I really just want to live a good life. Yu Wenfeng said: "Who are you?" said the middle-aged man.
: "My name is Zhang Cai, and I am the deputy steward here." Yuwen Fengran said softly: "Oh."
He glanced at Niu Er and suddenly said sternly: "Get it for me." Before Zhang Cai could react, he was still secretly proud. He had already learned from relatives of Di Du's family that the young master in front of him was at home.
Given his status, today he couldn't wait to give this young master a show of strength, so as not to ruin his good deeds in the future. Suddenly his knees hurt, and he couldn't bear the pain, so he knelt down.
When he reacted, a knife was already placed on his neck, but Niu Er heard Yu Wenfeng's words, stepped forward, made Zhang Cai kneel down, and then put the knife up. Yu Wenfeng walked up to Zhang Cai
, asked: "What is your identity? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me? Who gave you the courage to offend me as a deputy steward? If you are not punished today, where are the family rules?"
After listening to Yu Wenfeng's words, Niu Er admired the ruthlessness of this young master. Although he was thinking in his heart, his hand movements were not slow, and the horizontal knife directly passed through Zhang Cai's neck. Poor Zhang Cai didn't understand it yet.
As a result, someone chopped off his neck. It all happened so quickly that no one reacted until Zhang Cai's neck fell to the ground and rolled next to the servant who was close to Zhang Cai.
The maids all screamed, and the others were not much better, retching, but Niu Er didn't care so much. He took the knife directly in his hand and stood behind Yu Wenfeng, looking at the blood stains on his body and the...
The bleeding blade reminds me that what just happened is real.
Although it was the first time for brothers Zheng Kang and Zheng Wei to see someone being seen through, their childhood experiences made them extremely tough and they quickly adapted to it. They quickly took two steps forward, fearing that these servants would
Excessive behavior will be detrimental to Yu Wenfeng. But Uncle He looked at all this with cold eyes. As for the two guards, they both smiled helplessly, thinking in their hearts: This is already the second time. At this time, Yu Wenfeng said loudly
: "Why are you panicking? Come here and pick up the body. Everyone else has dispersed. Do what you should do..." dd
