Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 128
Xia Xinhe patted him on the shoulder and said: "Master Mei, don't think so much. You will soon serve General Xia and you may be able to find a wife in the future. But civil servants like us don't have such a thing." It’s an opportunity. I can only do some auxiliary work in the rear. In the future, Mr. Mei will be promoted, but don’t forget the friendship between today’s colleagues!”

Mei Shijie had many things on his mind. Even if he was given the title of wife and son, and served in the army, he could not relax.

Xia Xinhe said again: "I originally prepared a banquet for General Xia, and wanted to cleanse him from the dust, but General Xia didn't appreciate it, so it's an advantage for us. Master Mei, let me have three glasses of thin wine to celebrate you in advance. Bar."

He pulled Mei Shijie into the backyard of the government office, where a sumptuous banquet was already set up.

Accompanied by Master Tongzhi, Tongpan and others.

Mei Shijie was a garrison garrison, and he and Xia Xinhe did not have a superior-subordinate relationship. They usually had some friendship. At this time, after a few glasses of wine at the wine table, they became even more confidant.

Xia Xinhe said: "Brother Mei, don't blame me for talking too much. Your garrison was seconded by General Xia. It wasn't a big deal originally, but your manpower is far from enough. It's a full eight hundred less. What did you do to General Xia before? I guess he probably didn’t believe it. You should make plans early!”

Mei Shijie raised his head suddenly. He had been worried about this matter.

Xia Chixiao was in urgent need of people today, and he had no way to mobilize them all, because the number of garrison troops was said to be two thousand, but in fact it was only one thousand, and the rest were empty pay.The fact that he could bring in twelve hundred people had already exhausted all his might.

Anyone with a slightly clearer mind knows what's going on.

He is also worried.

But Xia Chixiao didn't mention it, so he suppressed his worries for the time being, but at this time, Xia Xinhe brought them out again.

He said: "What are the plans? My people have been assigned to perform tasks elsewhere and cannot be reunited for the time being!"

"Yes, yes, we can't get back together for the time being!" Xia Xinhe smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "I originally wanted to analyze it for Brother Mei, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary, so let's have a drink, and we won't come back until we get drunk. .”

Mei Shijie's eyes flashed and he raised his glass to drink.

As expected, Xia Xinhe never mentioned this matter again.

After the banquet was over, Tongzhi Tongpan and the master left.

Mei Shijie did not leave. He was drunk and lay motionless on the table.

Xia Xinhe said with a smile: "Brother Mei, Brother Mei, they are all gone, and I have sent them away. You can wake up!"

Mei Shijie raised his head: "Master Xia, does he know that I'm not drunk?"

Xia Xinhe smiled like a fox and said: "I have long heard that Brother Mei can drink a thousand drinks without getting drunk. How can you get drunk after just a few drinks? I guess Brother Mei probably has something to say to me, so, I will let the banquet end quickly."

Mei Shijie stood up and saluted, saying: "Master Xia, help me!"

Xia Xinhe asked curiously: "Brother Mei, why are you giving such a big gift? You and I don't have to be like this, it's not like this! If you have something to say, I will definitely spare no effort to help those who help me!"

Mei Shijie murmured his lips a few times, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "Master Xia, I know you can tell that people don't speak secretly. There are indeed free pay among my garrison. Please help me analyze it. This What exactly is Little General Xia’s plan?”

Xia Xinhe sat Mei Shijie on the chair, and he also sat down on the main seat, saying: "Brother Mei, we are both officials in Jiachen Mansion, and we are here to help each other. If it is your fault, I won't have an easy time either. But it's hard for me to talk about this matter today!" Mei Shijie was a little anxious: "Master Xia, Brother Xia, please give me some advice. If I can't pass this test, not only will I lose my future as a younger brother, but I will also lose my life!"

Xia Xinhe said awkwardly: "Brother Mei, when you saw this young general Xia today, what kind of person do you think he is?"

"After all, he is a noble son from the capital, and his temperament is a little cold and arrogant. This is normal!"

Xia Xinhe smiled: "Brother Mei, to put it bluntly, he is a noble man who comes often and has arrogant capital, so he does not need to show mercy to us. So he will probably not cover up this matter for you, Brother Mei, maybe I want to settle the score after the Anping Village is defeated! But you and I both know that the bandits in Anping Village are powerful, and it is not certain who will defeat them. If he loses the battle and uses Brother Mei as his retreat, he can also survive wholeheartedly. retreat!"

Mei Shijie stuttered a little: "How do you say this?"

"Brother Mei, what's the crime of taking empty wages?"

Mei Shijie suddenly felt as if he had eaten a bitter melon, and his whole face was filled with bitterness. He said bitterly: "If there are more than ten people, the staff will be thirty, and the staff will be retained; if there are more than one hundred people, the staff will be fifty, and the staff will be dismissed, and they will never be hired; if there are more than 1000 people... …cut……"

It's easy to eat when you're on the hook, but you're most afraid of leaking it. Once it's leaked, you'll be doomed!

He was a martial arts scholar, married a general's daughter, and got a sixth-grade military position in the garrison. His father-in-law worked for him, and within three years he was promoted to a fifth-grade garrison. He originally thought that he would have a prosperous official career in the future, and he would be like his father-in-law. Be a general.

In the second year of Ke's promotion to the garrison, my father-in-law was defeated and died on the battlefield. No one could support him anymore.

He had been a guard in Jiachen Mansion for more than six years and had no hope of promotion, so he came up with this idea.He wasn't so courageous at the beginning, with only a few people's salary, but the garrison's review was not strict, and no one cared about it, so he slowly ate more and more. Now, he is so courageous that the total number Two thousand people dare to eat one thousand empty wages.

He wanted to do more, move around, and move around, so that he wouldn't be just a fifth-grade person until he grew old and died.

Xia Xinhe shook his head and sighed: "Brother Mei, you are also a serious martial arts scholar with outstanding skills, but you are struggling in this small place with no hope of promotion. Now you may be facing annihilation. Are you just going to sit back and wait for death?"

"What else can I do?"

"What a meritorious service!" Xia Xinhe looked at him and said, "I heard that the bandits in Anpingzhai exceeded 1 people. Xia Chixiao's number was less than 4000. Including your garrison, there were less than [-] people. With four thousand against ten thousand, this battle How to fight? Alternatively, Brother Mei will charge forward and die in battle, and then the court may not hold you accountable for taking empty pay."

Mei Shijie: "..."

Xia Xinhe seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "Of course, who is willing to die if he is doing well? This kind of legislation is not the only way to achieve meritorious service, right?"

"Master Xia, please give me a clear path. I will definitely never forget your great kindness!"

"Brothers, you're just saying that!" Xia Xinhe smiled, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

Mei Shijie's eyes suddenly opened wide and he turned to look at Xia Xinhe mechanically, his eyes full of shock and dullness.

Xia Xinhe patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are talking nonsense after drinking, you are talking nonsense after drinking, it's just a joke, you don't have to take it to heart!"
