Chapter 349: Grace
This is a beautiful child, with a rosy face, small fingers, and thick black hair. Qian Yuan stretched out his finger and touched it, and the child started crying again.
"It's too hot, don't wrap it so thick." Tan took off the little clothes on the child's body quickly, "Hurry up, bring a diaper."
Qian Yuan returned and sat at the table, picked up the herbal tea and drank it, and looked at the scene with a smile. His mother and sister-in-law were busy, and the younger sister came over to look carefully at Qian Yuan's face.
"Brother, after you entered Beijing, we went back to Hangzhou Food Park." The younger sister licked her lips and said stammeringly: "Once, my mother and sister-in-law went to burn incense and passed by a village..."
"Oh, it's an abandoned baby, so my mother and sister-in-law were kind enough to adopt it."
“Yes, yes, that’s it.”
"Well, it should be." Qian Yuan answered casually, turned to see his sister's snooping gaze, and smiled: "What? Isn't it?"
"No, no, no, no...yes..." The little girl was so panicked that she didn't know what to say.
The crying sounds of Zhao Qisan and several other conciers in the outer courtyard had calmed down, and only the cry of the baby resounded throughout the backyard. Qian Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and smiled: "The sound is really loud and he has enough strength. How many months have you been?"
"Three...no, two months."
"I don't know if you were crying as loud as him when you were a child."
"No, I was very obedient when I was a child, but my brother, you cried loudly."
"Oh? What my mother told you?"
“…”
Qian Yuan was too lazy to ask again, and only recalled in his mind. It seemed that his mother said in her previous life that she was quite well-behaved when she was a child, but unfortunately she became more and more naughty as she grew older...
It took a while before Tan and Huang finished packing up. The latter sat in the corner with the baby in his arms, humming a small song in his mouth, and the child fell asleep in a deep drool.
"Mother, sister-in-law, although Huangyan County is rarely attacked by Japanese pirates this year, she is on the front line and should move back to Hangzhou." Qian Yuan did not ask his mother. Sister-in-law asked the baby, and said, "The food garden is empty, and Hangzhou City is surrounded by heavy troops, so it is safe."
Tan lowered his eyes and said nothing, Huang turned his mind: "Don't go."
"Don't go?" Qian Yuan's smile became more and more intense, "Then don't go, one is the mother and the other is the sister-in-law, so it is naturally the two of you who decide, but Huangyan County cannot live for a long time, so moving to Linhai County is necessary."
Huang and Tan looked at each other, and both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very uneasy. Before they could speak, Qian Yuan rushed in front and said, "I have missed the wedding, but the daughter-in-law who just entered the door is still in Linhai. Wouldn't the mother and sister-in-law go and take a look?"
"Where is the reason why a bride who just passed by doesn't come to see her mother-in-law? Sister-in-law, let her go to see her?" The little sister interrupted sarcastically: "Brother, do you say there is no such reason in this world?"
"Oh, my mother and sister-in-law didn't say anything, but your sister-in-law has a temper." Qian Yuan teased: "Can you still give your second sister-in-law a warning?"
"I don't dare, but if my brother can come to Huangyan County, she can come too?" The little girl bulged her mouth and looked indignant, but her eyes dodged.
Qian Yuan picked up the teacup and drank it. He glanced at the nervous Huang from the corner of his eyes and said softly: "I really don't want to go to Linhai."
The little girl just breathed a sigh of relief, Qian Yuan continued: "Did this house be bought or rented? If it was bought, did you have a contract written in the county government? If it was rented, who is the middle-aged man?"
"I bought it." Tan said intermittently: "I bought it cheaply..."
"In Jiading, Chongde, Huating, and Hangzhou, my Qian family guards killed more than a thousand Japanese pirates. We must investigate carefully. Even if others have good intentions, we must understand." Qian Yuan smiled on his face and said a gentle tone. "Don't worry, the magistrate of Taizhou is my uncle, and the magistrate of Jingchuan is my old friend. Even if he is the magistrate of Huangyan County... He happened to be a new Jinshi and his son's same year, and he would definitely find clues."
The room was silent and could only hear the whispers of the child in his sleep. Qian Yuan looked at Huang and his younger sister with fun, and the two immediately avoided Qian Yuan's sight.
After waiting for a while, Qian Yuan stood up and said, "Just bring some clothes and utensils with you, and then buy other things when you arrive in Linhai County. My little sister, accompany me out for a walk."
The younger sister followed Qian Yuan and looked back every three steps. Her mother and sister-in-law looked worried, but she had already started to pack up her things.
"Young Master."
Wang Yi and Yang Wen bowed together, and bowed to the younger sister again, "Miss."
The little girl nodded absent-mindedly and stood on tiptoe to look at Zhao Qisan lying on the bench. These four people were guards and concierges of the original food garden, and escorted all the way to Huangyan County.
"Brother..." The little girl pulled Qian Yuan's sleeve from behind and begged: "Don't blame them..."
Qian Yuan turned around and smiled, "Who is that blame?"
Her smile was still gentle, but the little sister immediately let go of her hand when she shivered.
"The guard team has always been rewarded with merits and punishments." Qian Yuan walked over slowly, "Is it convincing to you twenty sticks?"
Zhao Qisan's head was covered in cold sweat, "Young master, the villain accepted the punishment, but the third brother and the third brother made contributions to killing the Japanese. Please ask the young master to bypass them."
The three except Zhao Qisan were injured and disabled in battle formations. Two of them had one arm and one lacked legs. In this era, it was difficult to have a chance to survive because of serious injuries on the battlefield. These three people were lucky enough to survive.
"Twenty sticks are free, thirty whips." Qian Yuan said coldly.
Wang Yi was still calm and Yang Wen was still young. He immediately breathed a long sigh. All three of them were injured in the battle of Longchuan, and they were all witnessed by Yang Wen.
Seeing the thirty whip after whipping, Qian Yuan signaled Wang Yi to get hurt for the four of them and whispered: "I'm still very dedicated and reward each person with a silver for May."
On the way back to the backyard, the little sister couldn't help asking, "Brother, is this a kind of kindness and power?"
“Where is that easy.”
"Reward one person and others please others, reward it; kill one person and others shock it, kill it." The little girl shook her head and said, "Is it right?"
"If you don't read women's books, what kind of military books are you going to read?"
"What the sister of the Wang family said." The younger sister giggled: "Now my brother-in-law is so famous in Taizhou. It is said that he is like the Yue family army of the Southern Song Dynasty, with strict military operations and invincible."
"Qi Family Army?" Qian Yuan pursed his lips. Qi Jiguang's training in Yiwu was not very smooth. Not to mention the training, there was no full service so far.
However, along the way, Yang Wen once suggested that Taizhou and Chuzhou could also recruit rural brave men who were willing to kill the Japanese, but Qi Jiguang might not be willing. After all, the Yiwu soldiers themselves have strong clan centripetal force. According to the standards in history, the Qi family army was full of strong men who only knew how to obey orders, but the supplement to the Qian family guards could be given a try.
"Brother, I was wrong just now." The younger sister said seriously: "The rewards and punishments come from the emperor. You personally punished the whip, but let others give you kindness..."
"Hahaha, what books have you read in the past year!" Qian Yuan couldn't help laughing. If it could be so simple, there would be so many things.
In fact, this sentence cannot be wrong, but the problem is that the escort team is not an army after all, but a private armed force of the Qian family. Qian Yuan did not care about the thoughts of the four servants who had withdrawn from the escort team.
Speaking of grace, Qian Yuan did not show grace to those four people, the target of his grace was Wang Yi.
Qian Yuan believed that in the political struggle between Yan Song and Xu Jie and Gao Gong, Zeng Xian and Xia Yan represented by Wang Yi could play a key role.
A time traveler entered the political arena and had a relationship with bigwigs such as Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Gao Gong. Naturally, he could easily clear away the fog of history and explore the truth behind the fog.
Xu Jie actually had a limited time in power, but he was famous among the previous prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, he defeated Yan Song, the worst-known prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, he was kind to him.
Those who were killed by Yan Song, dismissed from office, and demoted... were all Xu Jie pleaded with the newly ascended Emperor Longqing for them. This political reputation was enough to allow Xu Jie to control the court. It was also in this case that Xu Jie could easily kill Gao Gong.
Qian Yuan believed that Xu Jie's preparation was not a one-day effort, and Wang Yi's existence could give Xu Jie an unwanted surprise.
In the backyard, there was only one old lady, except for the three girls. The simple cleaning was over soon. The group set off and left Huangyan County and headed straight for the dock. They took a boat from Yongning River to Lingjiang to go upstream.
