Chapter 104: Great Benefactor

When I returned to the living room, I said a while, the banquet was ready, and Chen Wanrong invited everyone to take a seat. Ge Shuhan and the others were not polite. The cups were very lively and everyone was happy.

It was not until the drunkenness became a little bit that Chen Wanrong said skillfully: "I have been thinking about how Liu Fuqing did this, which shows that he is a righteous person and a good man! But I have been busy and have not had time to check his life experience. It's a pity!" I shook my head, very regretful.

It’s not impossible to ask directly, but it’s still speculation about this matter, so it’s better to be more tactful.

Ge Fushun touched his forehead and felt a little embarrassed: "General Chen, I feel embarrassed to say this. Think about it, I am commanding the Longwu Army for more than a year and should have known about them. There are such people in the army, but I know nothing. I am ashamed, ashamed!"

Geshuhan put down his wine glass and said, "I know about this. After the accident, I inquired and investigated it by the way. Liu Fuqing was originally from Liujiazhuang, Binzhou. Their village had more than 100 families, all of which were surnamed Liu, so he was called Liujiazhuang. His family had two elders and him, and a total of three people. Two years ago, both of his parents died, and Liu Fuqing joined the army. Since the prince's reign, the Longwu Army has expanded and selected elite troops from the army. Liu Fuqing has been able to pick up the troops because of his strength, hard training and superior conditions."

Binzhou is very close to Chang'an, even closer than Ning County to Chang'an.

"So that's how it is!" Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "This Liu Fuqing is really the same. She is not young anymore, so she hasn't gotten married?"

Geshuhan shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. After I checked it, I asked again. So far, Liu Fuqing has not gotten married or been engaged."

Ge Fushun said with some emotion: "Can he want to be lonely for the rest of his life? The Longwu Army is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all strong. They want to find a wife. As long as they are willing, the good girls are not waiting in line for them to choose?"

Liu Fuqing's life experience is already clear, and more importantly, he has not gotten married or got engaged, so Chen Wanrong is relieved. Chen Wanrong has always looked at Qing'e, and apart from her special relationship with Zheng Qing, she is also a good person, a good heart, capable, and praises people. If she has a good home, Chen Wanrong will be really happy for her.

Chen Wanrong raised his cup and said, "Cheer to the Dragon Martial Army of the Tang Dynasty!" The Dragon Martial Army is indeed powerful. Chen Wanrong has seen it today, and this is the truth.

Ge Fushun was the happiest and laughed: "Ge received it on behalf of his brothers! Do it!" Everyone clinked a cup and drank it all in one go.

After eating and drinking, Ge Fushun, Ge Shuhan and others talked to Chen Wanrong for a long time, then happily said goodbye and left. After seeing Ge Shuhan away, Chen Wanrong pulled Zheng Qing into the room: "The matter you want me to investigate is clear. What do you think should you do about this?"

"I have to ask Qing'e first. I'll ask her now." Zheng Qing explained and left on her own.

Chen Wanrong sat on the chair, drinking tea, waiting for Zheng Qing's message. After a while of old age, Zheng Qing turned around with anger on her face: "Qing'e is really true. I've been slandering. She never mentioned that past, which made me helpless."

Qing'e is Zheng Qing's sister. No matter what she does, Zheng Qing will not be angry. It is the first time she is so angry today. Chen Wanrong thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll deal with this matter! I don't believe her and won't say it."

Zheng Qing hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I am a general, hehe, I want her to know the general's majesty! Call her here and I will interrogate her carefully!"

"If she really doesn't want to say it, forget it, don't scare her!" Zheng Qing still cared about this sister and told her to call Qing'e.

After a while, the sound of fine footsteps sounded, and it was Zheng Qingqing and Qing'e coming in. Chen Wanrong patted the chair beside him and asked Zheng Qing to sit down. Qing'e looked at Chen Wanrong with great anxiety: "You want me to come, what's wrong? Tell me quickly if you have something to do!"

"Hehe! Are you still impatient?" Chen Wanrong rolled his eyes and looked at Qing'e, and said in an unstable tone: "I asked you to come, I want to ask you if Liu Fuqing has done anything illegal?"

Qing'e frowned and quickly defended: "Why are you guessing randomly? Don't blame the good guys for wrongly!"

"Is he a good person? I didn't see it!" Chen Wanrong said without hesitation: "You give an example, I want to see if he is a good person. If so, then military law will be ruthless!"

Qing'e hurriedly defended: "Isn't he doing that for you? You are so heartless!"

"Bang!" Chen Wanrong slapped his right hand on the table and shouted: "Good intention? He has caused me a lot. This matter is not over yet. I must do military law!"

Zheng Qing also interrupted: "Military law is ruthless, so what should you deal with him?"

"He has two major crimes! One is to offend me. If the general has no power, it will not work. For my majesty, I have to deal with him! The other is that his influence will be extremely bad. If he does not deal with it, he cannot warn others. The two crimes will be dealt with together. If he does not chop his head, he will also have to beat two hundred military sticks." Chen Wanrong praised Zheng Qing's alertness and his face was as heavy as water.

"Two hundred military sticks! You are too cruel!" Qing'e accused Chen Wanrong.

Seeing that it had taken effect, Zheng Qing said, "I heard that this military stick is extremely powerful. No matter who sticks ten times, he must be fragile. If he hits a hundred military sticks, he will be seriously injured if he doesn't die. No one can get over two hundred military sticks!"

Chen Wanrong has also seen the power of military sticks today, and it is indeed the case. Wu Shaoxing is such a strong man, and if he goes down with thirty military sticks, he will not be like a human being. Those who can survive two hundred military sticks are not humans, but superman.

Chen Wanrong also sighed: "I don't want to deal with it like this, but the military law is ruthless, and I have to do it. Qing'e, it doesn't matter whether you say I am or scold me, but this must be done like this!"

The army is completely different from other places. Although Qing'e has never lived in the army, she understands this truth. She suddenly became anxious and hurriedly pulled Zheng Qing: "Miss, stop him quickly, hurry!"

Zheng Qing comforted Qing'e very affectionately: "Qinge, what are you saying? Are you messing around! What is Liu Fuqing's relationship with us? Nothing at all! I don't get along with you, and why should I stop my husband? Besides, for me, I should support my husband. Husband, you must act according to military law and not betray the law for favoritism and abuse of the law!"

"Husband understand!" Chen Wanrong was very helpful to the word "husband", and he felt very happy and responded happily.

Zheng Qing heard another meaning and gave Chen Wanrong a blank look. At this time, he was still in a state of greed for advantage. Zheng Qing was both hatred and angry, and she was helpless.

Qing'e was speechless and stood there in a daze. She opened her mouth several times and couldn't speak, but she couldn't speak out, making her pretty face flushed.

The time is almost ripe, and Zheng Qing tempted: "Qinge, if there is some special relationship, you may be able to discuss it."

Qing'e knelt down at Zheng Qing with a loud bang: "Miss, you must stop him, you must! Miss, as long as you promise me, you are willing to do whatever you want me to do!"

Zheng Qing pulled up and comforted softly: "Qinge, our name is master and servant, but in fact, sisters, your business is mine. Do you have any inconvenience to speak? If there is, you have to tell me. If you don't say it, I can't help you even if I don't."

These words were both warm and truthful, and Qing'e was in trouble again: "Miss, don't ask, okay? He must be a good person, a great person!"

"The traitor seems loyal! If you don't tell the reason, don't blame me for being rude." Chen Wanrong knew that the time was coming, so he worked harder.

"I said, I said, isn't that okay?" Qing'e finally surrendered and said a sad past with tears in his eyes.

Back then, Qing'e came out of her uncle's house, had no relatives, wandering around, hungry and had a full meal. This life was very hard. It was also God's will torment. One day, she fainted from hunger. When he woke up, a boy was smiling at her: "Little sister, are you hungry? Give me some food first."

The boy handed Qing'e a bowl of rice. This is rice made from brown rice, and the taste is not good. However, for Qing'e now, it is a great thing to have something to eat. When she was hungry, Qing'e took it and ate it all in a while.

This is the fullest meal Qing'e has since left her uncle's house. After eating, Qing'e asked the boy's name, and the boy smiled silly and said, "I won't tell you. Do you have no place to go?"

Qing'e wandered around, and there was nowhere to go, so she kept nodding. The boy blinked and said, "Our home is the best, but my father and mother don't let me take strangers home. However, I know a place where you can live."

At present, the boy brought Qing'e to a dilapidated temple to settle down. This temple has been disrepaired and is dilapidated, and can shelter from wind and rain. It is much better than Qing'e sleeping in the open air. If you live here, it would be great.

But there is one thing, Qing'e must go out to ask for food, otherwise she would starve to death. The young man was very sensible and comforted her with a smile: "Little sister, don't worry. If there is too much, I will give you a bowl of rice every day. Just one bowl is enough for you to eat?"

Of course it is a good thing, but Qing'e has a sense of arrogance and shook her head and said, "Big brother, I understand your kindness. But, where did you come from? It's not a big deal after a long time, so I'll leave."

If someone else encounters such a good thing, they will definitely be happy. Qing'e is not like this. The boy was very surprised and thought for a while before saying, "Little sister, don't worry. My family is rich, and it's okay if you eat for ten or eight years."

"Your family is really rich?" Qing'e is a careful person and immediately asked back: "If your family is rich, how could you eat this kind of brown rice?"

The boy asked, but fortunately he was quick to react: "Little sister, you don't know. This rice is for the servants, of course it is brown rice. I ate it, but white rice, meat is a bit hearty, and I eat a lot."

"Really?" Qing'e couldn't help but believe it.

The boy nodded very seriously and asked Qing'e to live there. Qing'e suffered all the hardships of wandering, and it was a pleasure to have a place to stay, so he lived there. The boy did what he said and gave Qing'e a bowl of rice every day.

After a long time, the two of them became familiar and said more. After the boy learned about Qing'e's lonely life, he was very sad and said he wanted to keep her at home as a maid. Although being a maid was hard, it was much better than begging outside, so Qing'e naturally agreed.

Not long after, the problem arose. One day, Qing'e found that the boy was late. When he came, he didn't walk very quickly. Qing'e was very strange and asked the reason. Of course, the boy would not tell the truth, saying that he accidentally fell on the road. Qing'e became suspicious and did not expose it. When the boy returned home, Qing'e followed him secretly.

I followed the boy's house all the way, and then I realized that the boy was not the son of a wealthy family, and he was also a poor boy, not much better than the Chen family. Three thatched huts were low and short, and a wooden door.

As soon as the boy entered the door, he heard a loud shout: "Kneel down! Have you stole the food from your house again?"

The boy hurriedly said, "Dad, I don't!"

"No?" the rough man shouted: "No? There is much less food at home. Don't think I don't know. You have to go to the dilapidated temple every day. Did you give it to people? Your mother goes to see it, and there will be a result in a while."

Seeing that the boy could not hide it, he had to admit it: "Dad, I took it away. There was a little sister who was lonely and I felt sorry for her and asked her to live in the dilapidated temple. Dad, you can accept her as your daughter!"

Home is a dream for Qing'e. A warm word, but I can't have it. When I heard this, I really hoped that I would be taken in by someone, even the poorest family could warm people's hearts.

However, the man's decision shattered Qing'e's dream. The man thought for a while and sighed: "Fuqing, you are a good-hearted person, and my father is happy for you. But, she is a girl! If it is a boy, his father will take him in. Only in poor families can boys use it, have the strength and can work. The girl can only eat but not work, so how can my father afford it."

This is why poor families like their sons but not their daughters. In order to ensure the life of their families, some poor families drowned when they give birth to a baby girl and raised their sons to work when they grow up.

The boy repeatedly begged, but his father just disagreed. Finally, his father said, "Fuqing, this girl is also very pitiful, but she can't afford to raise her at home, so there is no way. Dad still has more than ten cents here. You can bring her a few pieces of your mother's clothes and make some dry buns for her so that she can eat on the road and don't be hungry." After that, he started to cry.

Qing'e heard all these words. Qing'e shook her face with tears and kowtowed three times in the direction of the thatched hut before leaving. When the young man returned to the ruined temple, where could he find someone?

After Qing'e finished speaking, she was already crying and begged at Chen Wanrong: "Sir, General, you are OK, please spare him, okay?"

Chen Wanrong was so moved that she burst into tears. She wiped her tears and said, "Qinge, are you sure this young man is Liu Fuqing?"

Qing'e nodded with certainty and said, "Yes, it must be him! I won't recognize the wrong person!"

Zheng Qing also came to plead and said, "Husband, just spare him."

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "You are confused too? You originally wanted me to ask about the situation, as if I am a bad person."

Qing'e looked at Zheng Qing in surprise and suspiciously: "Miss, it's you..." Zheng Qing suddenly realized and comforted Qing'e, "Don't worry, Lord Liu has been kind to you, that is, I have been kind to Miss, I will treat him well."

This is really bizarre. I originally wanted to take care of Liu Fuqing at home, but I didn’t expect that I would bring Qing'e’s benefactor to my home. Chen Wanrong thought for a while and said, “Qinge, do you know that you are the one he saved back then?”

Qing'e shook her head and said, "I don't know. But I don't seem to know. I was still young at that time and my appearance changed a lot. Apart from being more mature, there was no change, so I could recognize it."

To be precise, Qing'e was an ugly duckling turned into a white swan. Qing'e was skinny at that time, dirty and ugly. But now she has bright eyebrows and white teeth. A beauty told Liu Fuqing that Qing'e was the little girl he saved back then, and he might not believe it.

Chen Wanrong pondered for a while and said, "I have to confirm whether this matter is true. You guys wait a moment, I'll ask."

"Let's go too!" Zheng Qing pulled Qing'e and followed Chen Wanrong to Liu Fuqing's room.

When he arrived in front of the room, Chen Wanrong waved his hand, and Zheng Qing pulled Qing'e and stood outside the door. Chen Wanrong went in and closed the door. Liu Fuqing was sleeping on the bed, awakening Chen Wanrong's footsteps, and was about to struggle to show his salute. Chen Wanrong stopped him. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Chen Wanrong said seriously: "Liu Fuqing, I have one thing to ask you. This matter is of great importance, you have to answer me truthfully."

"General, if you have any questions, Liu Fuqing dares not obey!" Liu Fuqing said hurriedly.

Chen Wanrong didn't go around the circle and asked, "Liu Fuqing, are you from Liujiazhuang?"

"Go back to General, the youngest one is from Liujiazhuang!" Although Liu Fuqing did not understand Chen Wanrong's intention, he still answered truthfully.

Chen Wanrong asked, "Do you have three thatched huts and one wooden door? Also, is there a good temple to the south of your house? There are many pilgrims who burn incense all year round."

Liu Fuqing's eyes became wider and wider. He was surprised at first, and then he was amused: "General, what are you asking about this?"

"Don't worry, just answer." Chen Wanrong stared at him.

Liu Fuqing nodded and said, "General Chen, Liu Fuqing's family is poor, and it's good to have only three thatched huts, but is that right?"

Chen Wanrong did not answer the question, his face changed and he said loudly: "After talking about the question, you will know it."

Liu Fuqing smiled and said, "General, you know our family, but you don't know our Liujiazhuang. There is no temple to the south of my house, but it is on the west side. It is not a good temple. It has long been dilapidated. Where did the pilgrims come from?"

Chen Wanrong then asked, "Did you do something wrong in this dilapidated temple?"

"What a shame? In the ruined temple?" Liu Fuqing was confused. After thinking about it, he sighed and said, "General, you are right. Liu Fuqing did something that I regretted for the rest of my life in the ruined temple. General, you punish me."

Chen Wanrong browed and said, "I have found out about this matter. You have to tell the truth. If there is a little false statement, don't blame me for being rude then."

Liu Fuqing sighed and said, "All mistakes are the family is too poor. Back then, when I was young, I met a lonely little girl. When I was weak, I asked her to live in a dilapidated temple. Later, for some reason, she left. It was all my fault for not taking good care of her."

"Big brother!" Qing'e could no longer hold it back and rushed in.
