Chapter 4 Eighty-Four: Between Thoughts

In the cheers, the old woman has returned to the crowd, and Lan Ziyi is rarely left with her own people. Before the villagers could get up, Lan Ziyi turned around and asked in a low voice:

"Why did Mr. Wen Ruo say this?"

Qiu Wenruo said:

"Punishment and reward, the authority of the monarch, the soldier who died in state affairs should be rewarded by the state, and the marquis of Wei privately rewarded himself with the suspicion of stealing the name of the weapon, this suspicion is not easy to explain to the court, once the court investigates, the future will be endless."

Lan Ziyi said:

"With so many folks here, if I don't appreciate it, it will be a civil uprising. What's more, the soldiers died under my orders, so why should I not reward them? ”

At this time, Qiu Xiaozhi stepped forward and said:

"Wei Hou will naturally be rewarded, but the reputation of the reward is a hot potato, and Wei Hou can't take it. Now behind him is the Dewang Mansion, and the crowd is also on the rise, as long as Wei Hou says a word, saying that today's reward is given by the Dewang, the disaster can be eliminated. What's more, King De is the commander of this expedition, and he is the emperor's beloved son, he came to reward his name justifiably, and at the same time let him earn a reputation, and the two fathers-in-law of the inner court will also be satisfied.

Misfortune and blessing are born together, such as yin and yang, whether it is to take misfortune or gain blessing is all in the thought of Wei Hou, and Wei Hou must not be careless. “

Lan Ziyi frowned when he heard this, he looked back at the gate of the palace, those little guys were hiding behind the door with wooden sticks, and the probe was like watching a big drama that had nothing to do with him. Looking at these little guys, Lan Ziyi remembered the villain face of King De in the past, what did King De do and what could he do? Why should he be given credit for nothing?

Qiu Wenruo stepped forward again after his father finished speaking, and said:

"Wei Hou, the famous person is the real guest, and it is not the right thing for a wise person to be greedy for fame and harm himself. At present, the court is fighting over whether the main army of King De enters the city, and it is a great achievement to add this reputation to King De at this time. Wei Hou must understand that now you are on King De's side, and you must not spoil a big thing because of that little dirty relationship with King De. ”

The Tao brothers were also listening to the conversation between Lan Ziyi and the father and son of the Qiu family, and they were quite dissatisfied when they heard the words, and Tao Zhulu stepped forward and said:

"The young master is now rewarded with his own family's silver, why should he spend his own money to buy fame for that bastard of King De?"

Qiu Xiao said bluntly:

"Dalang! Two-thirds of the horses and cattle in my Taisho market are sold by the Lan family, how much silver can the families of these military families on the street take away? No more than 500,000 at most. What can 500,000 taels of silver be counted in the Lan family? Spending 500,000 taels is the icing on the cake for King De, and the two fathers-in-law in the palace will also be satisfied, and more importantly, after this move, Wei Hou will be simple in the emperor's heart, and the emperor will also look at Wei Hou with admiration.

500,000 taels of silver kill three birds with one stone, this transaction is sure to make a profit. “

Qiu Wenruo added:

"The Marquis of Wei has already given silver to reward the military households, and if you give credit to King De, you will really share the worries of the court and be loyal to King De. Although King De will not give Weihou a good face because of this, the two fathers-in-law and the emperor are all understanding people, and in the future, the emperor will not worry about whether the emperor will return this silver. Even if the emperor doesn't pay it back, 500,000 yuan to buy the peace of the Lan family is worth it. ”

Peach Chalu said:

"King De treats my young master five and six times, beating and scolding at will, it is not as good as a beast, he can't swallow this breath, why spend money to buy face for him?"

When Qiu Wenruo heard this, he said to Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Wei Hou must not come nonsense."

Lan Ziyi listened to the quarrel of the four people behind him, looked at the crowd in front of him who gradually quieted down after the excitement, and let out a long sigh, he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and said:

"Folks, my door is no longer here, but come with me to the north, and I will give you money over there."

When the father and son of the Qiu family heard this, they stepped forward and said:

"Wei Hou! The crowd is still there, please let the fame be known to King De, there will be no chance if it's too late! ”

Lan Ziyi raised his hand to stop the father and son:

"Sir, there is no need to say much, Ziyi is free to arrange."

The father and son lowered their heads and sighed when they heard this, and Qiu Wenruo said:

"Wei Hou always said that he hated me and my father's strategy, but he didn't listen to it when it was really useful. Wei Hou is so troubled, and my father can't do anything about it. ”

Lan Ziyi did not get angry when he heard this, but was worried in his heart. If what Qiu Wen said is true, every time Lan Ziyi didn't listen to the persuasion of the Qiu family's father and son before, there was no good result, would this time be an exception? In fact, Lan Ziyi also knew that the father and son of the Qiu family pointed out a clear road, and he also knew that his family was not bad for these rewards, but he couldn't swallow that breath, King De was obviously a puddle of mud that couldn't support the wall, and there was more than enough success and failure, so why could he lie down and earn credit? Lan Ziyi can not want the reputation of the current reward, but this reputation is not to feed the dog, and Lan Ziyi cannot give it to King De.

Lan Ziyi turned his head slightly and looked at Qiu Wenruo, and said with a smile:

"Is Mr. Wen Ruo serious? How bad can things be? “

After Qiu Wenruo complained just now, he had already lowered his head and stopped talking, and just said:

"The saint has a cloud: don't will, don't must, don't fix, don't me. Things haven't developed yet, what do I think about interfering with Wei Hou? ”

After Qiu Wenruo finished speaking, Lan Ziyi wanted to say a few more words to comfort him, but at this time, the cheering crowd had quieted down, and people's attention was turned to Lan Ziyi again. So Lan Ziyi said loudly to everyone:

"Fathers and fellow villagers! Wounded soldiers! My Lan Ziyi speaks counts, and I will be rewarded if I say reward!

It's just that I don't live near this gate, so it's really inconvenient for you to send silver; Second, coming here is the main gate of the palace, and you are blocking here to hurt the royal face. Please come with me to the side gate of the deer park where I live in the north! “

Lan Ziyi said that, the crowd broke out into a burst of cheers, and the people under the steps in front of the palace rushed up this time and lifted Lan Ziyi up, and the crowd put Lan Ziyi on top of their heads, cheering and walking to the north.

Lan Ziyi was naturally startled when he was first arrested, but he soon felt the excitement and gratitude from the hearts of the people carrying him under him.

Since there was no danger, Lan Ziyi relaxed, he began to listen to the call of the people under him, and began to experience the pleasure of being admired by thousands of people, these hungry people didn't ask for much, they just got a bite of food to be happy like this, what reason did Lan Ziyi have not to beg for them?

Lan Ziyi glanced back at the Tao brothers who were anxious to step forward to protect the back of the crowd, these two brothers were originally ten thousand enemies, but now they were crowded outside by a group of old and weak women and children, and they couldn't move. Lan Ziyi laughed and also sighed at the strength of the people, before being lifted up, Lan Ziyi had always felt that their shriveled bodies had no strength.

Lan Ziyi shouted at the Tao brothers:

"Big brother and second brother! You go and prepare as I tell you, I don't have any problems here, I'll see you outside the Deer Park later! ”

The Tao brothers couldn't squeeze through the crowd, and there was no better way to hear the rumors, so they had to act separately from the father and son of the enemy family.

When the crowd carried Lan Ziyi to the north side gate, Qiu Wenruo had already instructed Li Minchun's servants to set up tables and chairs on the street in front of the door, and someone in the house had already come out to put up pots and pans to serve porridge and cakes for everyone.

After the crowd carried Lan Ziyi to the place and put it down, Lan Ziyi personally instructed the servants to carry food and drink, Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo, father and son, brought a number of clerks from the house, and under the guidance of the small servants, people who came to ask for food and pay should drink porridge, and those who should register went to the clerk to register, and the order was not chaotic.

Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo, father and son, did not personally devote themselves to the work of registering and making books, and the two of them always walked behind the clerk to check and proofread to avoid mistakes. It didn't take long for Tao Zhulu and the people of the Qian Zhuang Dart Bureau to rush back with the silver, and the people began to receive the silver taels.

Although the people are still grateful to Lan Ziyi, they don't want to lift people to the top like just now, and Lan Ziyi is also free. He walked up to the father and son of the enemy family and asked:

"What do you need help with?"

Qiu Wenruo was busy instructing a clerk to register information in the book, and when he heard this, he replied:

"It's nothing, Wei Hou's feet hurt, let's go back to the house and rest early, just leave it to us here." After finishing speaking, Qiu Xiaozhi seemed to remember something, he walked up to Lan Ziyi and asked in a whisper:

"Wei Hou, the person who came only said it, without credentials, how should the reward be given?"
