Hearing his mother's voice in the main room, Zhang Cheng just smiled and waved, "Carry me in."
The soft sedan was carried directly into the house. Her mother, Zhang Han, hurriedly greeted her. With tears in her eyes, she asked with concern: "How is Cheng'er? How could he be injured? How could Chen Zhong be injured?" Are you a guard?"
Zhang Cheng looked at his mother with a smile on his face, and said in a gentle voice: "Mom, the baby is fine, just some skin injuries. However, the time is still young, and the wounds will be stretched and difficult to heal, so I carried them here in a soft sedan chair. "
As the soft sedan was firmly placed on the ground, Zhang Cheng was about to get up, but his mother stopped him. She said: "Lie down, don't get up. If you really stretch the wound, it will be a disaster!"
Zhang Cheng smiled happily. At this time, Liu Ying came over with a soft pillow and said in a soft and caring voice: "It is also easier for the two old ladies to talk when the general leans on the soft pillow."
Zhang Cheng stood up slightly and asked Liu Ying to put the soft pillow behind her back. He raised his uninjured left hand and stroked Liu Ying's charming cheek very gently. He helped her wipe away some tears and said, "It doesn't matter. How many days will your general be here?" In the future, he will become lively and energetic again, and he will do all kinds of torture."
A touch of pink came to Liu Ying's delicate face, and she said coquettishly: "Huh, it would be better if you lie in this soft sedan all the time. Who cares about your torture?"
"Yohe..."
Zhang Cheng pretended to be angry and was about to say more words to tease this cute little girl when his aunt asked: "Cheng'er, there was a riot in this castle yesterday, but is it related to Cheng'er's attack?"
"When I go back to my aunt, they are all young people from the North Road. They usually invade and occupy farmland and enslave military households. Seeing that Cheng'er has touched their interests, they take risks and fight to the death. Now they have been captured by Cheng'er. From now on, the journey to the north is worry-free, and Auntie no longer has to worry about Cheng'er."
Zhang Cheng replied respectfully, but Zhang Lifang didn't care about Zhang Cheng's injury. She took two steps forward and asked lightly: "Brother, are you going to the capital to meet Fang'er's future sister-in-law?"
Before Zhang Cheng could say anything, his mother, Zhang Han, asked eagerly: "By the way, will everything go smoothly when Cheng'er comes to Beijing this time?"
Zhang Cheng was also tired from lying down. He called the two strong women who carried him into the house to help him up. He also brought a chair with soft cushions on it. Sitting on it felt better than lying down. Much more comfortable.
Then he replied to his mother: "To my mother, everything went smoothly for Cheng'er during his trip to Beijing. He also went to see the Wu family's cousin at the house of Mr. Wu, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. He has now entrusted the Wu family's cousin to deliver the money to Ji's family on his behalf. With the auspicious gift and letter of engagement, if nothing unexpected happens, my mother and aunt may have to prepare for the wedding."
Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng saw a look of sadness flash across the faces of the Liu sisters from the corner of his eye.
The two sisters were also destined to be misfortune. Wu Youlu originally arranged to come here to find out Zhang Cheng's secrets. Unexpectedly, they met such a good man like Zhang Cheng. Originally, they were still a little confused about whether to continue helping Wu Youlu.
Now that she heard that Wu Youlu had been beheaded by Zhang Cheng, her sister was overjoyed just now. From then on, she had no burden and could serve Zhang Cheng wholeheartedly. But at this moment, she learned that Zhang Cheng would marry his real wife soon, and she had a feeling in her heart. A feeling of loneliness welled up.
…………
Zhang Cheng chatted with his mother and aunt for a while, then lied that he wanted to go back to rest, and was carried out of Jiaoxiang Courtyard by the two strong women and rushed to the central hall of the general's office.
Chen Zhong had been waiting here for a while, and after Zhang Cheng sat down, he reported: "General, this Xue Liangqing is really tough-talking. He really refuses to admit his participation in the rebellion. He only said that this was done by Xue Jing alone.
We showed him Xue Jing's confession. The guy was still like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. Thanks to Su Yiyang's tricks, just a few small iron needles stuck in Xue Liangqing's body, which made Xue Liangqing feel more uncomfortable than death. , signed and stamped it after a while. "
"Hmph, the ungrateful thing insists on suffering a lot before he dies. Since he has such a wish, I will fulfill his wish. Chen Zhong, tell the big monkey and let him try the knife skills. I will behead him alive." Get rid of Xue Liangqing, the culprit!"
Zhang Cheng laughed and cursed, then continued: "I sent the order, but at the wrong time, Xue Liangqing and other rebels were found outside Nanguan, their bodies were identified, and they were punished in the same way as in Chicheng. Their corpses were exposed for three days as a warning. Follow your example!"
"yes."
Chen Zhong turned around and left after receiving the order. Zhang Cheng turned to Lin Fangping who was standing aside and said, "How has my son Chengfang been doing during this time?"
Lin Fangping took a step forward and said: "Reporting to the general, Zhang Chengfang is very diligent. When others are resting, he is not idle. He is very good at riding with swords and sticks. Even Wang Xiucai praised him for his ability to read and write. Others came quickly, and now all thirty-eight of them are placed in the barracks opposite the General's Office."
"Oh, Cheng Fang is really good at being so diligent and diligent." Zhang Cheng was very satisfied with this.
Lin Fangping said at this time: "General, Fangping has one more thing to ask General."
Zhang Cheng also looked at him with a puzzled face and said, "What's the matter?"
"My second brother Lin Fangqing has been making trouble recently and wants to join the new army and follow the general."
"Is this a good thing? How old is Fang Qing this year?"
"Back to the general, my brother Lin Fangqing is seventeen years old this year. He has been working hard at home these years. Now he can fight on foot and on horseback, but he is a good young man." Lin Fangping said excitedly.
"Seventeen years old, well, it's still a bit young. Let's do this. You can ask Fang Ping to stay with Wang Xiucai first. I know Fang Qing's ability. First, I want him to stay with Yuan Jing and learn more words. You tell him that he can come and see me if he knows 500 words." Zhang Cheng said to Lin Fangping with a smile.
Lin Fangping has been with Wang Yuanjing recently. As civil and military instructors, they were in Zhencheng to teach He Shihui's New Army, Su Zhenxiang's Women's Camp, and Zhang Chengfang's Boy Scouts. They were already familiar with each other and had a tacit understanding. In fact, Lin Fangqing had been with Wang Yuanjing for half a month. More than enough.
Zhang Cheng didn't pay attention to this matter, but talked about another matter with Lin Fangping. He said: "Fangping, you have been following me for more than three years."
After receiving Lin Fangping's affirmative answer, Zhang Cheng continued: "Well, Fangping, Chen Zhong still has many other things to do. Now I want you to assist Chen Zhong in taking charge of the affairs of the personal guard. From now on, your burden will be on you." You have to be more careful, you have to make progress at home, and you have to pay more attention to everything."
"Yes, Fang Ping knows. Although these days are training for the new army and boy scouts, Fang Ping has also followed Wang Xiucai to read and read. He has indeed learned many truths. He will not stop in the future. He will definitely learn to read more and read more! "Lin Fangping felt flattered.
Zhang Cheng said calmly: "The fact that you are so enlightened means that I have not appreciated you in vain. You are here to pass on my wishes, and those who rebel against the party will be executed before the time comes. I have traveled a long distance and am not in good health, so I will not participate."
You go and make arrangements now. After Shen Shi observes the execution, ask Wang Yuanjing, Ma Zhongli, Su Zhenxiang, Zhang Chengfang and others to come to see me and tell them what you have to say. "
