What is this comfort? This is adding salt to someone’s wounds!
If he hadn't offended anyone, he would have started scolding the matchmakers who came to every village.
Sorry...
Li Xiaoying did not dare to disobey Li Zheng, the clan leader, and quickly nodded in agreement.
Her mother-in-law didn't expect her to have such a relationship, and she actually became much kinder to her, which was an unexpected surprise.
Li Xiaoying was also eager to visit and accompany her mother more often. She secretly wondered when she would find an excuse to go to Yancun...
Although everyone is curious about Yancun and has some prejudices, it is not absolute. As long as it can lead everyone to make a fortune, what happened to Yancun? No one will mind this.
Let's talk about the garrison camp. The remaining pirates were escorted back. Zhong Jing was overjoyed. The fifth leader was caught, and three more minor leaders were caught. At this point, all the pirates on the list were brought to justice.
Even if there are still a few fish that slip through the net, they are just ordinary little Luoluo. Even if they are not caught for the time being, they will not dare to reveal their identity in this life. They will only dare to travel far away and remain anonymous. This is not a danger.
At this point, the case can be officially closed after trial.
Zhong Jing went to the imperial court to confiscate all the items seized from the pirates' dens for military pay. He also reported to the imperial court that these pirates should be punished according to the criminal law. Those who should be killed should be killed, those who should be subject to hard labor for life, and those who should be exiled should be imprisoned.
, listed one by one according to the size of the sin.
Then it’s time to ask for credit.
This has nothing to do with Zhou Hansheng. Zhou Hansheng is the direct cousin of the Prince of the East Palace. He has a sensitive status and has no official position. Even when he came to help, he acted in secret. The biggest credit goes to Zhong Jing.
Subsequently, through the careful operation of the officials of the prince's line, Zhong Jing was promoted from the fifth-rank staff general to the fourth-rank Guangwei general. Originally, he was only a temporary official in charge of the three-county garrison. Now he has been officially converted into a full-time official and became the Lingnan Province.
One of the second-in-commands of the garrison.
Lingnan is located in a remote area, and Zhong Jing's status is even more inconspicuous in the court. No one in the capital and court will pay attention to him.
But no one thought that he was Zhou Hansheng's person, which was equivalent to the prince's person.
No one thought that a single spark could start a prairie fire. When this fire started burning in Lingnan Province, no one could put it out if they wanted to...
At the moment, Zhong Jing has weighed again and again and did not ask for credit for Zhao Liya and Hu Ling in the memorial. Naturally, the county magistrate also deserves credit, so Zhao Liya and the others can only write an entry in the local credit book and reward them with some money.
The Zhao family's identity is too eye-catching, so it is best not to send this credit to the capital.
But in this way, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling felt a little too wronged.
Zhong Jing thought about it and felt very sorry. In addition to passing the reward through the Gaolian County Yamen, he also ordered Zhong Lu to go there in person and bring three thousand taels of silver notes.
The pirates' lair was looted, and a lot of gold and silver were looted. He had no intention of handing it over, and put it all into military pay. How to spend it was not his final say?
Giving three thousand taels to Zhao Liya and Hu Ling is not much.
The things are all stolen goods, so it's hard to give them away, but you can give them money.
It happens to be almost August 15th, so I would like to give them a big holiday gift.
Jonglu took two sergeants, dressed in ordinary clothes, to Yancun.
Zhao Liya's house is really easy to find, it's the first one at the entrance of the village.
Just go up and knock on the door.
Zhong Lu was also an acquaintance. Zhao Liya and Hu Ling happened to be at home at this time. When they saw him, he hurriedly invited them home with a smile.
"Master Zhong, please come quickly!"
Zhong Lu was startled, and shook his head with a smile: "No, no, I can't bear this title. Just call me Little Bell, and Brother Zhong will do it! The general said, you are people who have made great contributions, and you deserve my respect."
You are the right ones."
Zhong Lu didn't quite understand why the general had repeatedly told him to be polite to the Zhao family and lower his attitude, but the general's advice was definitely not wrong. He just followed it.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were also a little confused after hearing this: How come you have made such a great contribution and have a much higher status? There are so many benefits?
Since Zhong Lu said this, they did not refuse. At that moment, Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong started shouting.
Zhong Lu met Zhao Xiang, Deng and others again, and the three of them had lunch at Zhao's house.
After dinner, he talked with Zhao Xiang, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling. Zhong Lu took out the three thousand taels of silver notes. The Zhao family said: "..."
Got rich again!
Such luck!
Three thousand taels can buy a lot of land!
The Zhao family didn't mind at all about Jonglu's euphemistic apology for the inconvenience of asking the court for credit. Instead, they were relieved.
If this were to happen, it would be another turmoil.
General Zhong Jing's handling of this situation is good for everyone.
He got the credit, and the Zhao family got benefits!
An unknown and mysterious boss can continue to invest through the Zhao family!
Zhong Lu did not expect the Zhao family to be so considerate. It would be a bad thing to refuse such a big contribution. He was happy and admired at the same time. He felt good in his heart and said cheerfully: "Our general admires Miss Zhao and Brother Hu very much. You will have a good relationship in the future."
If you need help with anything, just go and ask. The garrison camp is in Suixi County, so it’s very convenient to get there! When I came, the general told me many times, and this is no polite word!"
Zhao Xiang smiled and cupped his hands: "General Zhong, you are very polite! If something really happens, I will have to trouble General Zhong."
For example, the Gu family.
The Zhao family never mentioned the Gu family in front of Zhong Lu, just because they didn't want to use this favor casually. They also didn't want people to think that they were bullying others. After all, the Gu family couldn't do anything to them.
Zhong Lu smiled and nodded: "Absolutely, that's what our general said!"
Zhao Liya's heart moved and she suddenly said: "Brother Zhong, I have one more request. If the general feels embarrassed, then just pretend that I didn't say it. If it can be done, please help the general. My mother made a contract and recognized a sister. I
I also have a cousin. If my cousin wants to get rid of her sins and become a good citizen, I don’t know..."
The Zhao family had only come here not long ago, and it was difficult to get rid of their criminal records, but Qu Yutao was different.
Qu Yutao's father was actually a big businessman, but his cousin became a corrupt official and was implicated. He made money and was separated from the others when he was exiled. The family arrived here. Life was pretty good at first, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened
After death, only orphans and widows are left.
More than ten years have passed since this incident. Qu Yutao is not even considered an accomplice to his family members, so it should not be difficult to get rid of the crime.
Zhao Liya explained the situation of Qu Yutao and her daughter in detail, and Zhao Xiang also said some kind words to help, which made Zhong Lu smile immediately.
"What's this! It's just a matter of our general's words. He just found an excuse to pardon her."
