Chapter 321: Compensation
When this girl, who escaped by relying on the favor of God, crawled out of the ruins. Looking at the once poor but warm home, it has become a pile of ruins. Parents, brothers, and villagers have all become coke. In his eyes, the former Lingxiu was no longer gone, replaced by hatred and emptiness.
Faced with the destroyed home and the remains of her relatives who were killed, she did not leave. Instead, he sat quietly in front of his home, which had become a ruin, and watched the bones of his loved ones remain motionless for a long time. It wasn't until a long time that he found a hoe and dug a big hole despite the weakness of his body.
Little by little, he put the remains of his parents, as well as all the villagers in the village, into the pit and buried them again. When she had done all this, she knelt quietly in front of the mound of flesh. The tragedy that happened in this small mountain village was not discovered until a few months later, because the village was so remote.
The whereabouts of the only surviving girl are not known to anyone. Maybe he had starved to death, froze to death, or died in the belly of a wolf. After all, in the next one, the coldest winter since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty. No one believed that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old orphan girl, whose home had been completely destroyed and who had no one to rely on, would survive in that bitter cold weather.
Despite all the people, the girl's body has never been found. No one really knows what happened to this mountain village. The destruction of a mountain village, for those who started it, this slaughter was nothing more than an indulgence. But for the mountain village that had been destroyed, dozens of families had completely disappeared.
and so vent all his anger on the innocent villagers, destroying a once quiet mountain village, and using hundreds of lives to calm his mind a little. At this time, he had already returned to his own path, so he naturally didn't know that there was a survivor in that mountain village. After returning to Xingyuan, he stood quietly in the study, without saying a word in front of a pair of calligraphy and paintings.
After a long time, he turned to Lu Wentao behind him and said, "Sir, don't stay here any longer, and immediately rush to Zhengzhou to preside over major events." As for the king's place, he still entered the capital according to the early morning consultation. Until now, this king has not been without the capital of the last fight. As long as Princess Jing does not enter Beijing for a day, this king will not be completely lost to the end for a day. ”
"No matter what method this king uses, even if you go out yourself, the ninth brother of this king, as well as King Jing's family, this king will never allow them to enter Beijing alive. As for how you do it, this king does not look at the process, but only the result. Even if it is a desperate fight, this king will never watch that cheap seed step on the head of this king. ”
After the King of Shu finished speaking, Lu Wentao looked at his iron face, didn't say anything, and turned around and left respectfully. After Lu Wentao left, the King of Shu did not look back but said: "You don't have to follow this king back to Beijing, take the secret guard Zuoying and follow him quietly." After the Zhengzhou incident is over, get rid of those Tubo and Dali masters together, and remember to do it cleanly. ”
When the King of Shu's voice fell, from another room in his study, a man in black walked out. Facing the uncertain face of the King of Shu at this time, he arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, the master, the subordinates will do it." This time, the subordinates will definitely not disappoint the master again. If this Lu Wentao fails, his subordinates will personally solve the problem of King Ying and King Jing's family. ”
When everyone was gone, the king of Shu returned to his bedroom. looked at the two women on the bed, who had been ravaged by him. He didn't say anything, just stretched out his hands and grabbed the second daughter's throat fiercely. It wasn't until the second daughter was no longer struggling that he let go of his hand. At this time, in the eyes of the King of Shu, nothing could be seen except scarlet.
Huang Qiong, who was far away in Zhengzhou at this time, naturally didn't know about these things that happened in Ruzhou. In the past few days, after the heart knot with Lin Hanyan was opened, he was accompanied by the three daughters gently at night, and often went to Lin Hanyan and Li Xiu secretly, so that he did not live an ordinary comfortable life. Especially He Yao and Lin Hanyan, who let go, let Huang Qiong enjoy an unexpected different gentleness between the bed.
Especially between the sheets, Lin Hanyan, who was really powerless to parry Huang Qiong. simply dragged the He sisters and even the two intimate maids around them into Huang Qiong to make a room. Almost every time Huang Qiong went, she gave Huang Qiong a different surprise. Although she thinks she is not a lustful person, Huang Qiong is not easy to refuse this kind of good thing, right?
However, when others were accompanying Huang Qiong, Lin Hanyan just sat on the side and watched quietly, even if he was emotional, he definitely did not participate in it. Except for Li Xiu, she never turned the dragon and phoenix in the same bed with Huang Qiong with any other woman. Lin Hanyan is quite insistent on this. And in order to respect her, Huang Qiong has never been reluctant.
During this period of time, Huang Qiong lived every day, not an ordinary spring breeze. As for the aftermath of Zhengzhou, under the promotion of Su Jin and Jian Yong, the progress is still relatively smooth. With him, the big Buddha, the powerful people in the court who are worried about the land left by King Jing, and the other clans don't dare to be too presumptuous.
Away from the chaos of the court, as well as his own father's calculations, Huang Qiong often even feels happy. It is impossible for the Xiaocai battalion to be stationed in Zhengzhou for a long time, with the completion of the re-establishment of the Zhengzhou Guard. In addition to leaving 3,000 military horses for Huang Qiong as a personal escort according to the emperor's wishes, the rest of the cavalry battalion has received the holy order to return to Jingzhao.
On the day that the Xiaoqi camp returned to Beijing, Huang Qiong took Su Jin and Jian Yong to see off at the east gate of Zhengzhou. After entering the Xiaocai camp, until the end of the counterinsurgency in Zhengzhou, the Xiaocai battalion received the holy order to return to Beijing. Huang Qiong has established a good relationship with the generals at all levels of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. Especially the deputy envoy Guo Chen, Huang Qiong looked at him differently. Now that the Xiaoqi camp has returned to Beijing, Huang Qiong naturally wants to send it.
And those who returned to Beijing with the Xiao Cavalry Battalion also had huge wealth copied from King Jing's Mansion and the homes of those rebellious officials. At present, gold and silver ingots, which are not used as currency in circulation, but only as valuables, are enough to fill hundreds of vehicles. As for the amount of money, it is not too much, only a few big cars.
However, the large amount of silver tickets worth more than 10,000 yuan in Wuwei Qianzhuang, as well as the land deeds in various places, filled two large carriages. In Jian Yong's words, these belongings can basically be topped, and the imperial court has at least two years of income. The 10,000 ingots of gold and more than 100,000 ingots of silver alone are more than enough for the imperial court to enter a year.
Even the emperor's inner treasury, I'm afraid there is not so much gold and silver. With this money, the emperor suddenly had much more money on hand. Looking at the back of the cavalry battalion that escorted such a large sum of gold and silver back to Beijing. Regarding Jian Yong's evaluation, Huang Qiong shook her head and didn't say anything, in fact, she had nothing to say.
Zhengzhou has only been upgraded from Henan Road to Zhili Prefecture for a few years. His second brother has only been in the domain for a few years, and it seems that it has not been ten years. has actually collected and amassed such a huge amount of wealth, how many people will be ruined? These are the real people's fat and people's ointment. Just like Lin Hanyan said, all this money is hot to use.
And Huang Qiong knows better that these are not all the properties that have been confiscated. This does not include the 350,000 Guan Guan money he left for Lin Hanyan in private, and the 150,000 Guan Guan Ji he left for Li Xiu in private. Although this money is not much, it adds up to 500,000 yuan.
plus a sum of property left by his second brother, a woman who has a name and no name, but who left a child for his second brother, and the children they born. Together, there are 17.8 million of them. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly in her heart.
Huang Qiong knows better that these are probably only part of the property of King Jing's Mansion, or the property that can be obtained on the surface. In the hands of the henchman who really controls the financial resources next to his second brother, he can only hold more money in his hands than this, and definitely not less than this. Even if he hadn't misjudged, there wouldn't have been any land in those properties that weren't easy to realize.
He didn't know what kind of impression he would have among the people if this matter spread out, and he, who was known as the first merciful king in the court, would have among the people. But although he also knows that his emperor Lao Tzu will not let his nephews and nieces be poor. But Huang Qiong said it anyway, maybe because she robbed someone else's wife, she always felt a little sorry for her second brother.
It's just that his second brother has now gone to the Western Heaven Elysium. I want to make amends, but there is no place to compensate, so I can only leave some property to those nephews and nieces in disguise, as a disguised compensation. Although gold and silver are more valuable, they are not often circulated in the market, and they are expensive and have a large goal.
So what Huang Qiong left them was a large amount of silver tickets from Wuwei Qianzhuang. However, in order to avoid some bad things from spreading, Huang Qiong handed over these silver tickets to Lin Hanyan. It's up to her to decide when to distribute it, or how the money should be distributed. There is a lot of money, there is a lot of right and wrong, no matter what Lin Hanyan says, she is still the head of the Jingwang Mansion at the moment.
With your own backing, you can also shock those who have different aspirations. How should this money be divided, it is better for Lin Hanyan to distribute it. And Lin Hanyan is also very fair, taking care of all kinds of affairs in the house on weekdays, at least a bowl of water is even. Distributed by Lin Hanyan, at least some people dare not stab. Although Lin Hanyan repeatedly stated that she didn't want to, Huang Qiong would be willing not to leave her some self-esteem.
As for the eldest son of King Jing, Huang Qiong did not leave him a sum of money alone. In addition to keeping 100,000 yuan with his mother, he gave him 40% of the 2,000 hectares of the 8,000 hectares of the original king's fiefdom in the emperor's holy decree to the mother and son. The remaining half was assigned to the names of King Jing's other children.
Huang Qiong went straight to the placement of King Jing's children, and the emperor finally acquiesced to Huang Qiong's suggestion. However, the emperor only allocated 2,000 hectares of the 8,000 hectares of fiefdom that was first allocated to King Jing. The rest was returned to the original owner by Huang Qiong. Two thousand hectares of land is the standard for rewarding county officials in the early years of the founding of the country. Perhaps in the emperor's opinion, these two thousand hectares were enough.
However, what kind of thoughts existed in the disposal of the old man, Huang Qiong guessed as early as the day he received the holy decree. At present, the rebellion of the two kings is on the cusp, and it is naturally difficult for him to give the son of the second king a reward. Even if it is given to a Fengguo general, it is easy to cause great criticism.
Although the Heavenly Family doesn't pay much attention to Zhulian, there are still things to be done to make an example. The two sons of the rebel king were not punished after returning to Beijing, and they were even knighted. Even if it is a purely empty title like a general of Fengguo, I am afraid that most princes and even the clan will not agree. I am afraid that even some high-ranking ministers in the court will not agree with the emperor's disposition.
