Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 263

Sima Zong, king of Nandun, was sitting on the top seat, his face was serious, thick bags under the eyelids had accumulated under his eyelids, his beard and hair were gray, and he was obviously old, with a look of excessive mental strain.Sitting below him, on the right is the eldest son Sima Chuo, and on the left is a burly man with a fierce head.

"Haiyan man doesn't want to see you, is it because you didn't make it clear why you came, or did you say something offensive without knowing it?"

Hearing his son talk about visiting the princess mansion, Shen Zhezi avoided seeing him, and King Nanton pondered for a long time before asking.

Sima Chuo smiled wryly and said: "Father has already known the purpose of this trip to me, so how dare I offend you. He has all the etiquette, but he was sent out outside the court. I have never seen anyone in his family who has a little bit of power!"

Hearing this, King Nandun's eyes suddenly became dark: "This raccoon is becoming more and more arrogant. If my family gave up his daughter to him, how can this local tyrant of Wu Zong make progress in the capital! People are outside the gate of the court, could it be that he really thinks that I dare not attack his family!"

The burly man sneered, and then said sadly: "Your Majesty, why should you be angry, but there is an order, and I will lead people to attack his house lightly, and blood will be spilled on the gate of the courtyard, no man or woman will be left behind!"

Hearing this, Sima Chuo, the son of Prince Nandun, frowned slightly, and subconsciously turned his gaze to the side.The name of this burly man, Peng Hui, was originally a first-class man in the north. He was often punished for violating taboos in the Wubi. Flooding and looting, forced by the military power of the East and West, he could only devote himself to the Nandun Palace, he was a real desperado.

Sima Chuo didn't agree with King Nandun's recruitment of such heroes and desperadoes. He believed that such people were hard to be restrained by etiquette and law. Words are not enough.

King Nandun glanced at the son's benevolence and cowardice with some displeasure, and then turned to the murderer Peng Hui and said with a smile: "I have Peng Lang and other strong warriors for my use, so why worry about that raccoon. Kill him It's a pity that there are still greater uses for keeping it."

When Peng Hui heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.Now the whole city knows that the Shen family is the wealthiest, and there is Nanyuan, which is full of guests every day, the name of daughter is definitely not in vain.

After joining Nandun Palace, he was treated with great courtesy. Peng Hui was already full of confidence, and he had been planning how to rob the house of Jiangdong Haoshou.But hearing that King Nandun disagreed, Peng Hui didn't dare to be too stubborn. He was only brave enough to take advantage of others, even if he was treated politely, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of King Nandun.

"The Shen family should not move lightly. If there is a big event in the future, it will still need the support of his family in Wuzhong."

Although he was so slighted by Shen Zhezi, King Nanton could only bear with it for the time being when he thought of his plans in the future.The current momentum of the Shen family is far from being guessed by a reckless person like Peng Hui, but King Nandun knows it.Although Li Yang had a lot of connections with him, if he really wanted to accomplish great things, he still needed the support of a powerful Wuzong like the Shen family who was deeply rooted in Wuzhong.

The reason why I wanted to let the son go to visit this time is because of a man from Nandu who is in the limelight now.King Nandun also overheard the man in charge of the mansion mentioning that his family had some entanglements with Jingzhao Duhe, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that Duhe was promoted by the Shen family, so King Nandun planned to use this matter to quarrel with Shen The family communicated with each other, but they did not expect to be treated so unceremoniously.

After pondering for a long time, finally the resentment in his heart could not be dispelled, and King Nandun said bitterly: "This raccoon thinks I have nothing to do with him? Hmph, since his family treats those poor people favorably, I will make his family lose face!"

"Later, Peng Lang led his men to capture Jingzhao Duhe and all his entourages. A mere Nandu gangster dared to tamper with my family's property! I want everyone to know that the Shen family treated them generously. What is the background of Guan Zhong Xianliang!"

King Nandun didn't pay much attention to the overseas Chinese children like Du He who traveled south alone. Originally, even if he cared about his own status, he wouldn't go into such a trivial matter as stealing and logging trees.If the Shen family is willing to respond politely, they can just laugh it off, but now, he doesn't intend to give up, he wants to ruin Du He's reputation and shame Shen Zhezi!

When Sima Chuo heard this, he hesitated a bit, and murmured: "Father, although that man is a newcomer, he is also from Guanzhong's old surname after all, or he is in trouble for a while, so it is really not appropriate to go too deep into it to hurt his heart... ..."

"Shut up!"

The king of Nandun suddenly changed his face after hearing the words: "Nowadays, everyone is humiliated to the face, so why have you ever scrupled to hurt my heart! I just want everyone in the capital to see clearly that whoever harms me will be rewarded! Be kind and cowardly in everything. What dignity is there? With your shallow eyesight, you can't do some things well, and you dare to teach me how to do things?"

Seeing King Nandun reprimanding his son in front of him, Peng Hui also frowned in his heart. He really looked down on this weak son, but unexpectedly King Nandun's father Hu gave birth to a dog son.After a little emotion, he clasped his fists and said: "My lord, please don't worry, I will go immediately when I am humble, and I will definitely capture all the thieves who stole the wood!"

------

In Du's house in Changganli, Du He held the ox rein and led the ox cart into the courtyard gate, and then respectfully said: "Sister-in-law, we are home."

Inside the bullock cart, a delicate young girl poked her head out. Seeing the wide courtyard, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help exclaiming: "What a big house! Sixth father, my mother and I can really live here!" it's here?"

Du He stepped forward to help the little girl out of the car, and said with a smile: "This is our home, Ah Ling naturally wants to live here!"

That little girl was changing her teeth, she opened her mouth and smiled, revealing the gap between her front teeth, she woke up after a while, quickly covered her mouth with her hand, but looked around with her bright eyes, obviously extremely excited and curious.

Mrs. Du and Mrs. Pei also got out of the car later, seeing the grand layout of the courtyard, her eyes were also full of surprise: "Hai Yannan's move is really grand, such a vast family, it is a bit wider than my family's family when my husband was alive. Uncle, how can you take such a generous gift lightly..."

Hearing this, Du He respectfully said: "My sister-in-law knows that He is not a person who indulges in materialistic pleasures, especially since he went south after the catastrophe, all he thinks and worries about is how to repeat the old hope of my family. You can just cover your head, but how can I bear my sister-in-law and Ah Ling living in poverty, so that my elder brother can't rest in peace!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Pei was also slightly moved. After pondering for a while, she whispered: "The sages have taught, first think about how to pay, and then think about how to receive. My family has a deep reputation. My uncle inherited this origin, so you should pay attention to it." Take it easy, don't bend your ambitions for a while and cause more controversy in the future. Pengmen Huaju, just rest assured."

Du He stood with his head bowed, respectfully listening to Pei's teachings.In fact, he had already thought about what Pei said for a long time.In fact, the favor of the Shen family is not limited to the mansion in front of him. Shen Zhezi helped him to become famous in the capital, and this kindness is many times heavier than the mansion.

After going through the trials and tribulations of the world, Du He is no longer an innocent boy, so he naturally knows that there are not many unreasonable gifts in the world.Especially since going to the south, even many old families in the past have treated him coldly and alienated, but the Shen family has treated him so favorably, and Du He also knows that this appreciation is not easy.

After immersing himself in the capital for a long time, Du He also understood the position and situation of the Shen family in the current situation. The more he understood, the more surprised he was unavoidably.Although his family is a newcomer from the south, but the background is profound, and the wealth of the family is just a sign, but the strong aspirations of his family deeply rooted in the Wuzhong countryside are really eye-catching.

With such a profound rural background, and the fact that Wuzhongfang Town is governed by the family of the emperor's relatives, it can be said that no matter who the ruler is, he must be kind to the Shen family, otherwise it will be absolutely difficult to maintain the stability of the situation.

Thinking about it in a different place, Du He put himself into Shen Zhezi's situation to consider. Considering the current family background of the Shen family, there is really no urgent need to support him, a newcomer from the north.Unless, his family intends to go one step further, break the barrier between the north and the south, and use the southerners to overwhelm the Qiaomen and leap to the ruling position!
Since traveling to the south, she has been looked down upon by the overseas Chinese, but she was simply pulled out by a southerner's family at a time when the journey was poor.To be honest, the division between North and South in Du He's heart is no longer very clear, and there is no general resistance from northerners to the plan of the Shen family.Especially when Shen Zhezi treated him with such kindness, Du He hoped from the bottom of his heart that this young man could realize his long-cherished wish and was willing to use him.

But now when he heard his sister-in-law Pei mention this festival, Du He still couldn't take it lightly.Recently, he has become famous in the capital, and he has gradually resumed contacts with those old people from the past.At the beginning of the naming, it was indeed strongly recommended by the Shen family, but the reason why he was able to receive such a miraculous effect had a lot to do with his own family background.

Therefore, many people have recently mentioned the defense between the North and the South in his ears, and warned him not to get too close to the Shen family.This inevitably planted many seeds of conflict in Du He's heart. On the one hand, he must not disappoint the kindness of the Shen family, and on the other hand, he must not ignore the opinions of those old friends from overseas Chinese.It is also extremely difficult for Duch to strike a balance between the two.

Although he has not yet faced the choice of choosing one of the two, every time he thinks of this episode, Du He feels somewhat anxious and even indignant.Now that the situation in the north is like this, the national power has been sluggish to the point of Jiangdong. These people don't think about how to protect the soil, but they still care about the defense of the north and the south. It really makes people angry!

With these considerations in his mind, Du He didn't want to speak out to add to his sister-in-law's worries, so he softened his words slightly, and then hurriedly settled his sister-in-law and niece at home.However, because the mansion has not yet prepared too many female family members for use, and the maids are not yet ready, so Mrs. Pei only came to visit once, moved some furniture, and then returned to the old residence with her daughter, and officially moved in in the future. .

After nightfall, Du He had just rested, and when he was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard a commotion in the courtyard.He was shocked in his heart, turned over hastily, put on his clothes and went out with a sword in his hand, and soon saw a faint fire flickering in the backyard.

"Liulang, there are enemies coming!"
