Chapter 60 Get rich again
What kind of consolation is this? This is called sprinkling salt on someone's wound!
If you don’t offend anyone, don’t offend the matchmakers who come and go from every village and village.
怄 ah
Li Xiaoying didn't dare not listen to Li Zheng and the patriarch's words, so she nodded quickly in agreement.
Her mother-in-law didn't expect her to have such a relationship, and she treated her a lot more kindly, which was a pleasant surprise.
Li Xiaoying was also eager to visit her mother more often and accompany her, thinking secretly 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 you can lead everyone to make a fortune, what will happen to Yancun? No one will mind this.
Let’s talk about the garrison camp, where the remnants of the pirates were escorted back. Zhong Jing was overjoyed. The fifth boss was arrested, and three more small bosses were arrested. So far, all the pirates on the list have been brought to justice.
Even if there are still a few sporadic fish that escaped the net, they are just ordinary little Luo Luo. Even if he is not caught for the time being, he will not dare to reveal his identity in this life, only dare to go far away and hide his name. That's hardly any danger.
At this point, the case can be officially closed after the trial.
The items confiscated from the pirates' dens were confiscated by Zhong Jing to the imperial court, and all of them were confiscated for military pay, and then reported to the imperial court to divide these pirates into criminal laws, those who deserved to be killed, those who deserved to serve life in hard labor, those who deserved to be exiled, and those who should be imprisoned , listed one by one according to the magnitude of the crime.
Then it is 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 identity and no official position. Even if he came to help, he was acting in secret. The biggest credit is naturally attributed to Zhong Jing.
Later, under the careful operation of the officials of the prince's lineage, Zhong Jing was promoted from the fifth-rank general to the fourth-rank general Guangwei. Originally, he was only temporarily acting as the main post in charge of the three-county garrison, but now he has officially become the main post and became the Lingnan province One of the second in command of the garrison.
Lingnan is located in a remote place, and Zhong Jing's identity is even more inconspicuous in the court. No one in the capital will pay attention to him.
But no one thought that he belonged to Zhou Hansheng, which was equivalent to being the Prince's.
No one thought that a single spark could start a prairie fire. When this fire started from Lingnan Province, it would not be extinguished by anyone who wanted to.
Besides, at the moment, Zhong Jing has weighed many times and did not ask for credit for Zhao Liya and Hu Ling in the memorial. The county magistrate naturally also has credit. Zhao Liya and the others can only record a sum in the local credit book and reward some silver.
The identity of the Zhao family is too eye-catching, 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 sorry for it, so besides giving 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 old dens of the pirates were taken over in one pot, and there were a lot of gold and silver treasures looted. He didn't intend to hand them over, and they all went to the military pay. He has the final say on how to spend them?
Give Zhao Liya and Hu Ling three thousand taels, not too much.
Things are stolen goods, so it is not easy to give them, but it is okay to give them money.
It happens to be almost August 15th, so it's a big gift for them.
Jongro brought two soldiers, dressed in ordinary clothes, to Yeon Village.
Zhao Liya's house is really easy to find, the first one at the entrance of the village.
Zhong Lu is also an acquaintance. Zhao Liya and Hu Ling happened to be at home for a while, and when they saw him, he quickly smiled and invited them home.
"Master Zhong, please!"
Zhong Lu was taken aback, and quickly shook his head with a smile: "Don't, I can't afford to be called that. You can call me Xiao Zhong or Brother Zhong! The general said, you are people who have made great contributions and deserve my respect." You are right."
Jong Lu didn't quite understand why the general told him to be more polite to the Zhao family and to lower his stance, but the general's instructions were definitely not wrong. He did so.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were also a little puzzled when they heard this: How did they make such a contribution, even their status is much higher? There are so many benefits?
Since Zhong Lu said so, they didn't refuse. At that moment, Brother Zhong and Brother Zhong shouted.
Zhong Lu met Zhao Xiang and Deng Shi again, and the three had lunch at Zhao's house.
Talked with Zhao Xiang, Zhao Liya, and Hu Ling after dinner, Zhong Lu took out the 3,000 taels of silver note, the Zhao family: "."
Get rich again!
This luck!
Three thousand taels, you can buy a lot of land!
The Zhao family didn't mind at all for Zhonglu's tactful inconvenience and their apology for asking for credit from the court, but they could only breathe a sigh of relief.
If this is brought up, it is hard to say that it will be another disturbance.
General Zhong Jing's treatment like this is good for everyone.
He got the credit, and the Zhao family got the benefit!
An unknown and mysterious big boss can continue to invest through the hands of the Zhao family again!
Zhonglu didn't expect the Zhao family to be so considerate, and it would be bad to say no to such a great contribution. He was happy and admired, and he felt good. He said cheerfully: "Our general admires Miss Zhao and Brother Hu very much. If you need help with anything, just ask. The garrison camp is in Suixi County, so it’s very convenient to go there! When I came, the general warned me, this is not a polite word!"
Zhao Xiang cupped his hands with a smile: "General Zhong is polite! If there is something to do, I will really trouble General Zhong."
For example, the Gu family.
The Zhao family never mentions the Gu family in front of Zhong Lu at this moment, but they just don't want to use up this favor casually. It's also not good to make people feel that they are bullying. After all, the Gu family couldn't do anything to them.
Zhong Lu smiled and nodded: "It must be, that's what our general said!"
Zhao Liya's heart moved, and she suddenly said: "Brother Zhong, I have another request. If the general finds it difficult, then just pretend I didn't say it. If it can be done, please ask the general for help. My mother made a bond with a sister, and we I also have a cousin, if my cousin wants to get rid of crimes and become a good one, I don’t know.”
The Zhao family came here not long ago, and it is not easy to get rid of crimes, but Qu Yutao is different.
Qu Yutao's father was actually a big businessman, and his cousin was implicated when he became a corrupt official. He used money to clear the way, and when he was exiled, he was separated from the others, and the family came here. Life was going well, but unexpectedly died, leaving only orphans and widows.
It has been more than ten years since this happened, and Qu Yutao is not even counted as the family member of the criminal, so it should not be difficult to get rid of the criminal record.
Zhao Liya described the situation of Qu Yutao's mother and daughter in detail, Zhao Xiang also helped to say a few good words, Zhong Lu immediately laughed.
"What is this! It's just a matter of our general's words, just find an excuse to pardon her."
