Chapter 17 Guan Hai and Qian Mansion
The messenger quickly dismounted and reported to Xie Chengbin: "Report to the envoy! General Dian and General Guan have returned from purchasing grain! General Guan was caught several arrows and was dying. Please return home quickly!"
"What!" Xie Chengbin was shocked when he heard this, and rode the horse that sent the order soldiers, leaving everyone alone.
In the room of Guan Hai in the county government, Guan Hai was unconscious due to excessive blood loss and many trauma on his body had been bandaged. The eight doctors blushed because of whether the arrow on Guan Hai’s chest was pulled out.
This arrow is inserted near Guan Hai's heart. Some doctors believe that once the arrow is pulled out, Guan Hai may die immediately, and should wait for Xie Chengbin to decide. If it is pulled out, Guan Hai may die, so if it is not pulled out, Guan Hai will die without doubt! Therefore, some people think that saving people is like putting out a fire. Xie Chengbin is not here, so who knows how long Guan Hai can last.
The eight doctors were divided into two factions, and the more they quarreled, the more fierce they became, and no one was convinced. Dian Wei didn't understand the medical skills, so he could only worry. Just when the quarrels between the eight people escalated into a fight, Xie Chengbin finally rushed back. "Brother, let the doctor go down and receive the reward. No one is allowed to enter, otherwise he will be killed!"
Dian Wei clasped his fists and answered, took the eight doctors away and closed the door. Xie Chengbin walked to Guan Hai and reached out to Guan Hai's breathing with his hand. His breathing was very weak, but he was really dying. Before he could think too much, he picked up the arrow in the plate next to him with his right hand and cut the middle finger of his left hand hard. Blood immediately poured out of the wound and dripped on Guan Hai's wound.
After about five minutes, Xie Chengbin felt that it was almost done, so he pulled out the arrow from Guan Hai's chest! At this moment, blood quickly poured out like a fountain! Xie Chengbin quickly pressed Guan Hai's chest tightly with both hands, praying in his heart that Guan Hai could survive.
"Brother Evil, why are you stopping me? Get out of here, I want to see how Brother Guan Hai is injured." Zhang Fei, Gao Xu, Yu Jin and Zangba have already rushed back and wanted to go in and see Guan Hai, but were blocked by Dian Wei, which surprised Zhang Fei. Dian Wei's face was serious and did not give Zhang Fei any face. "Zi Bin told someone not to enter, otherwise he would kill him. It was already very good if he just stopped him and did not take action!"
"Brother Zibin said that all the people who come are brothers. Could it be that brothers are not allowed to enter the house?" Zhang Fei expressed Xie Chengbin's original intention. Xie Chengbin wanted everyone to give up this kind of landlord society, and everyone was equal like later generations, but he could not change everyone's thoughts all at once, so he started to change from the verbal name of brothers.
However, Dian Wei didn't think so. Dian Wei felt that brothers were just a title. In Dian Wei's heart, Xie Chengbin was the lord. No matter what Xie Chengbin said, he would do whatever he wanted. "This is Zibin's entrusted, and Yide should not embarrass someone."
I just looked at Guan Hai and left at a glance, and it didn't take much time. I didn't expect Dian Wei to be so disrespectful. Now Zhang Fei is so angry! Gao Xu's thoughts are the same as Dian Wei. When he saw Zhang Fei going to take action, he stepped forward and pulled Zhang Fei. "Yi De, I know that you care about Hai, but if you think about it carefully, you should ignore the rough words of evil. You should not go against Zi Bin's will! Otherwise, how will Zi Bin convince people?"
"Hmph!" After Gao Xu persuaded him, Zhang Fei's anger was relieved a lot and turned around and left. At this moment, the door was opened. Who else was not Xie Chengbin who opened the door? "Come in."
Everyone walked in one after another, and saw Guan Hai lying motionless on the bed, his clothes were stained with blood, and his breathing was very slow, and it seemed that he was in danger. Seeing Guan Hai's appearance, Zhang Fei's heart felt like he was cut by a knife, and his eyes were a little wet. The others were also feeling uncomfortable, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Brother Guan Hai..." Zhang Fei thought Guan Hai was helpless, so he couldn't help but want to go forward and take a look, but was stopped by Xie Chengbin. "Brother Guan Hai is no longer in trouble, but he just lost too much blood. Since you have seen it, let him rest."
Xie Chengbin led the others to the lobby and ordered his servants to keep boiling water and food, and to provide warm food and water at any time when Guan Hai woke up, and then asked Dian Wei the whole story. Dian Wei said he was not very clear. When he was about to arrive in Jinan, he happened to meet the messenger sent by Guan Hai. When he learned that Guan Hai was attacked, he asked 500 people to escort the food and grass back, and he led 1,500 people to support Guan Hai.
When they arrived at the battlefield, they saw Guan Hai getting several arrows and still leading his troops to meet the enemy. These enemies were dressed up, but they had the skills of soldiers. The bandits saw that the officers and soldiers had reinforcements, so they did not dare to fight again, so they retreated one after another. "The situation was probably like this. Before his brother Guan fainted, he said to someone, 'This is the food for the lord to help the people. Hai dared not abandon it. I hope that the evil brother would hand it over to the lord.'"
After Dian Wei finished speaking, Zhang Fei stood up immediately. "It must be Liu Dai's son who sent troops to pretend to be the people to attack Brother Guan Hai! While he had not walked away, he begged Brother Zibin to send a cavalry to pursue him. The last general is willing to lead the army order and will present Liu Dai's son's head within three days!"
"I'm willing to go!" After Zhang Fei said this, Yu Jin and Zangba stood up and clasped their fists, and spoke in unison. Gao Xu, who was usually fighting to plead for the people, pinched his chin and thought about something.
"Don't be impatient! Listen to me." Xie Chengbin pressed his hand and signaled the three of them to sit down. After the three of them sat down again, Xie Chengbin continued to speak. "You are so proud that you can be happy, but whether Liu Dai is still unknown. It is unwise to use troops rashly. Moreover, once the troops are used, war will surely occur, and the number of refugees will continue to increase. The total population is already as high as 280,000. In addition, farming is a shortage of food and grass!"
Gao Xu nodded frequently when he heard this, and after Xie Chengbin finished speaking, he stood up with his beard. "Zibin said very much. To fight against foreign countries, he must first settle the country. The most urgent task is to consider how to take back the land in the country so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment!"
Qian Mansion is a wealthy family in the east of Dongpingling (Jinan Guojun City). The owner's surname is Qian and his name is Liang. Qian Liang is very stingy and unreasonable. He is rich and rich, even if he is a penny, he will fight with others. He often has to go on the market to buy vegetables in person, such as two kilograms of cabbage and one cent. He insists that it is too expensive, and five kilograms of cabbage and one cent is about the same, so he takes away five to ten kilograms of cabbage and only pays one cent. The poor people can withstand such troubles. They dare not speak out, and can only admit that they are unlucky.
The so-called upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked, and the son of Qian is even more wealthy than the blue one. He never spends money on buying vegetables on the market, and he just takes it for nothing. There are even cases of forcing a robbery girl.
The father and son are notorious, not only in Jinan, but also in other counties and states, but also in other counties and states, know the reputation of the father and son. The reason is that some foreign merchants do business in Dongpingling or pass by Dongpingling. If they meet this father and son, they will have unpleasant things. It’s okay for the big merchants to have servants or guests to accompany them, but the small merchants will cry without tears. Over time, no businessmen will come to Dongpingling to do business.
In the morning, the official envoy came to Qianfu to inform the sale of land. Although Qianliang was unreasonable, he was not confused. He thought that no matter how much gold was, he would be used up sooner or later, and the field could support his descendants forever, so he ordered people to beat the official envoy out. Originally, Qianliang just wanted to scare the official envoy, but the servants were used to being rampant and thought that with the support of the master, they really beat the official envoy out.
It's around 11 o'clock in the evening, that is, midnight, the streets and alleys are empty, with only the cold wind whistling tirelessly. A head wearing a yellow turban and masked man suddenly appeared at the corner of the alley at the back door of Qian Mansion. The man looked around and saw that there was no one around. With a wave of his hand, many people dressed in the Yellow Turban Army ran out quietly, each holding dry firewood or weeds.
These people kept running out of the alley, and there were more than a thousand people! Each of them piled dry firewood or weeds on the wall of the back door of Qian Mansion, and their movements were very neat, and no one was panicked. The person in the leader seemed very anxious and kept urging in a low voice. "Hurry up! Speak quietly! Who, the Yellow Turban fell off, tie it up quickly! Next time, military law will deal with it!"
More than a thousand people placed dry firewood and weeds in order, and then fled the scene the same way. In a short while, the wall on the back door of the Qian Mansion was filled with all the walls, reaching the roof with a height of the height! Dozens of people lit the torches at the same time, threw the torches onto the roof, and the soles of their feet were oiled. Due to the wind, the fire burned very quickly, and the burned bigger and bigger, and gradually began to spread to the entire Qian Mansion.
The fire was crackling and the fire was too big, awakening the people in the Qian Mansion. Many guests and servants came to put out the fire with wooden barrels filled with water. As soon as the back door opened, the burning plants and trees collapsed one after another, blocking their way by the raging fire! It seemed that they could only take a detour through the main entrance to put out the fire.
Just as the servants and guests arrived at the main entrance and opened the door, many people outside the door, wearing yellow turbans and masked people pulled their bows and arrows toward the door! Before the servants and guests could react, the archers had already shot the arrows!
"Swish swish swish swish swish..." Some of the dozen servants or guests standing in front were injured, while others were shot into hedgehogs, and they all fell down screaming. Some fell down in a lying position and pressed down on the bow and arrow, which immediately pierced the body and died so much that they could not die again.
