Chapter 61 Yutao's Resignation
Qu Yutao is just a female family member of the sinner's family, and more than ten years have passed, no one would argue about such a trivial matter.
Zhao Liya was overjoyed immediately, smiling like a flower: "Thank you, Brother Zhong! Thank you, General Zhong! Since that's the case, I will trouble Brother Zhong. This matter should be done sooner, and it should be done before August 15th. It will be considered as a new addition to the family." It’s a happy event, let’s have a good holiday!”
Jonglu laughed and nodded happily: "It should be fine!"
When Zhong Lu and the others left, Zhao Liya sealed one hundred taels of silver to him, and the other two each had fifty taels of silver.
I just received three thousand taels, so I don’t feel bad at all spending the two hundred taels!
Besides, it is worth the money.
After Jonglu and the others left, they opened the red envelope and were shocked.
"Hey, the Zhao family is too generous."
It cost dozens of taels of silver in one shot!
But Zhong Lu understood that this must be to let him wholeheartedly report to the general that Qu Yutao was exonerated.
He smiled, the Zhao family really valued love and righteousness. For a cousin girl who just came back, she is willing to do this. No wonder the general and Mr. Zhou are willing to help them.
Sure enough, the master is the master, and he can see people accurately.
Back to the barracks, Zhong Lu reported everything. The matter of rewarding silver was also mentioned.
Zhong Jing also smiled and said: "As expected of the Zhao family, they act openly and generously, hey! Wu Ke really envies you, I made a hundred taels for a trip!"
Jongno laughed along with him.
Zhong Jing rolled his eyes, but didn't ask for the money back, just said: "I can't ask for it again in the future."
Jonglu quickly agreed.
It is not difficult for Qu Yutao to be exonerated.
This matter is under the control of local officials, not Zhong Jing. In the past, if Zhong Jing wanted to take care of this matter, he would have to ask for favors from County Magistrate Yin of Gaolian County, and he would have to pay back in the future. But it's different now.
Because Zhao Liya and Hu Ling captured the leader of the pirates, County Magistrate Yin was also credited for their contribution, and the court must have rewarded him. It is impossible for County Magistrate Yin not to agree to Zhong Jing’s request.
Not bothering the two masters for one thing, Zhong Jing wrote a letter and asked Zhong Lu to go to the Gaolian County Yamen.
County magistrate Yin immediately agreed, and simply gave Qu Yutao more credit for capturing the remnants of the pirates. They found out their whereabouts and reported the crime, so they made a contribution. Zhao Liya and Hu Ling are willing to use this to exchange Qu Yutao for exoneration.
In addition to being freed from his criminal record, County Magistrate Yin also rewarded him with ten taels of silver.
Of course, the benefits he gets are much more.
Yu Gongcao, who manages Yancun, also received fifty taels of silver.
As Jong-ro said, the good news reached Yeon-chon before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Zhong Lu belonged to the people in the garrison, and this matter did not come forward. On August 12, Yu Gongcao came to Yancun with the good news and a reward of ten taels of silver, and publicly announced the good news.
Just according to General Zhong's intention, the word "sea bandit" was hidden, and only "bandit" was vaguely mentioned.
Widow Qu and Qu Yutao were stunned!
Qu Yutao looked at Zhao Liya subconsciously, her eyes gradually became moist, and her heart was moved and sour.
There will be no pie in the sky, although she doesn't know when the cousin and the others did what, but the fact is that the cousin and the others did it for him and her.
Widow Qu and Qu Yutao thanked and accepted the reward with great joy, and Yu Gongcao smiled and said words of encouragement before leaving.
Yancun is going to be bombed.
"Congratulations! Sister-in-law Qu's hard work has finally come to an end!"
"The child Yutao is really blessed! This is a great joy!"
"No, what a blessing!"
"Hey, it will be great when we have such luck."
The faces of the Gu family were ugly, and Hulu was even more jealous, helpless and panicked.
Qu Yutao transformed into a good citizen. He is a criminal, how can he have the right to marry her?
Even if Qu Yutao is willing to marry, and he is willing to marry, he must first go to the Yamen to suffer 20 boards and pay a fine.
The fine is at least ten or twenty taels of silver.
Where did he get it?
Not to mention that Qu Yutao was not willing at all.
But the bald head was still adding fuel to the fire by the side, tsk tsk regretful: "If only you had married Qu Yutao earlier, brother Hulu, wouldn't the credit fall to you? Ai ai, what a pity, what a shame!"
Mao Ya also showed a regretful expression when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what a pity!"
Hulu originally wanted to think about this aspect, but when the two of them said this, his heart trembled fiercely, and his intestines were almost green with regret!
This is so reasonable and so right!
Isn’t it such a pity!
If he had known that girl had such luck, no matter what means he used, he would have to marry her. Why did you give up at that time?
He couldn't help but fantasize: If this credit fell to himself, then he must be the one who was exonerated. After getting off his criminal record, he no longer needs to serve in the military, and he no longer needs to be detained in Gaolian County. He has already gone to the provincial capital to make a fortune. If you are lucky, if you marry a good man, give birth to a promising son, earn him a lot of money, or come back with a degree of fame, wouldn't he enjoy endless blessings?
But all of this has nothing to do with him!
He is not reconciled
It wasn't just him who was unwilling, but also the Gu family.
Second Aunt Gu gritted her teeth with hatred, "Can that dead girl Qu Yutao be blessed? Why? Even if their family really found some gangsters, shouldn't they tell our family first, and our family should report them? What are they? What self-assertion! Since they came, all the rules in this village have been broken by them!"
Gu Laoer also speculatively said: "Brother, this is the truth, the Zhao family is not paying attention to us more and more. What's the big brother's idea? Can't we deal with them now?"
Boss Gu was also full of aggrieved anger, and said coldly and angrily: "Don't even think about it now! Their family has just been praised by the government. If we do something now, what will the government think? You really think Yu Gongcao treats us as himself People? Heh!"
He didn't know that in the eyes of Yu Gongcao, he was just a useful dog, with no status at all.
But what can he do?
He can't get a lot of money to pay tribute to the meritorious Cao.
"Then, let's leave it at that?"
"Hmph, what's the rush, there's a day when you can vent your anger!"
The Gu family had no choice but to know that Boss Gu was right, no matter how aggrieved they are now, they can’t trouble them, or they would deliberately slap the government in the face.
Damn it, wait!
Rao couldn't suppress the Zhao family immediately, the Gu family couldn't hold back their anger after all, so the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law ran to the Zhao family to make a fuss.
The second sister-in-law of Gu bared her fangs and claws, coming menacingly.
It’s a new week, my dears!
