Chapter 12: Saving Lives
The tragedy struck ten days ago.
On that day, Cai Hui went out of the city to hunt as usual. When his wife went to the street to buy rice, she unfortunately ran into the infamous Cui family's evil young man - Cui Du, the second young master of Cui Mansion. So, Cui Du did what he usually did, and took Cai Hui's wife back to his house. Cai Hui's wife was unbearable and died when she hit a rockery in Cui's mansion.
When Cai Hui went home and didn't see his wife, he went to the street to inquire, and when he found Cui's mansion according to the clues, he only saw his wife's cold body. So, Cai Hui quarreled and fought with Cui Fu, and after injuring many people, he was finally seriously injured because he was outnumbered, and then he was sent to the yamen, and he is still locked in the yamen.
In Cai's mother's intermittent, crying narration, nearly two hours passed. Although Ye Teng was sympathetic and inexplicably sad and indignant, he knew that now was not the time to be sad, so he cleaned up his mood and said to the eldest mother in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Auntie, please open your eyes now and see if you can see it?" ”
Cai's mother opened her teary and hazy eyes, looked at Ye Teng, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, and said to Ye Teng: "Young man, you are really a good doctor, my eyes can actually see!" ”
Ye Teng looked at Cai's mother's teary eyes with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "Auntie, since this matter has been touched by me, and I have a relationship with your family, I will definitely have to help you." After all, this is unfair, and you are old, and the little stone is still young, so I have to rescue your son no matter what. Please give me three days, and I will do this as my own business, and try to bring your son to you! Please take care of your body these days, don't hurt your eyes by crying, and be sure to take care of the little stones so that they can be reunited smoothly. ”
After finishing speaking, he handed over 10 silver to the eldest lady and said goodbye.
As for how to rescue Cai Hui, Ye Teng had a bottom in his heart.
Because there is a "good official" in Jingcheng County who is very "close to the people" and "fair", that is the county commander Wei Min. Wei Min is a side descendant of the Wei family of the Hedong clan, who is shrewd and capable, and extremely loyal to the family. To say that he is a "good official" means that as long as he receives money, he will definitely do things; Saying that he is "close to the people" means that no matter the identity of the briber, whether it is a family or a pawn of a peddler, as long as he can afford to pay money, he can help you do the corresponding things, and there is no threshold; To say that he is "fair" means that there is a relatively reasonable price for everything entrusted to him, and he will not deliberately set the price because of the identity of the trustee.
In Jingcheng County, Wei Min is also considered to be a good way to make money, and he does not overdo it to scrape the poor people. Therefore, in the last years of the Han Dynasty, where the world was full of corrupt officials, the overall governance of Jingcheng County was quite passable. Wei Min's corruption proceeds were basically contributed to the family, so the Wei family also regarded Jingcheng County as their family's own land, and gave Wei Min great support at some critical times, for example, during the Yellow Turban Uprising, it was precisely because of the strong support of the Wei family that Jingcheng County was never breached.
Out of Cai's house, Ye Teng went straight to the county government and stuffed 2 silver for a government officer, and the government official took Ye Teng to see Zhang Xiancheng very happily, and then turned around and left.
Ye Tengsai gave Zhang Xiancheng 1 gold coin, and seriously introduced the affairs of Cai's mansion. After listening to the introduction, Zhang Xiancheng took the case, saying that the world of the Han Dynasty was not yet the turn of the Cui family, and he immediately reported to the county magistrate.
After returning from the report, the county lord said that the county magistrate of Caifu's experience felt the same as him. But at the same time, conditions were also prescribed: rescue Cai Hui for 100 gold, so that Cui Du needed 10,000 gold to pay for his life.
Cui Duye Teng couldn't afford to kill him, so he paid 100 gold and asked Zhang Xiancheng to uphold justice, and at the same time, asked the county lord to consult Cui Fu about the location of Cai's wife's body.
Zhang Xiancheng immediately asked the head catcher to ask Cui Fu, and at the same time, he went to the prison to raise Cai Hui.
After a while, the scarred Cai Hui was brought, his legs were limping, his right arm was drooping, obviously fractured, his clothes were ragged, he was covered with blood, and his complexion was extremely bad. Ye Teng lost a probing technique:
Name: Cai Hui Character: Chengye Occupation: Senior Military General
Maybe because the level difference was too far, he only got a simple piece of information, but this did not prevent Ye Teng's heart from blazing, because he couldn't believe that he saw the scene in front of him:
Although Cai Hui was seriously injured, his right hand was obviously fractured, but it was not broken! And in the previous life, the benevolent brother got a high-ranking military general with a broken arm.
After confirming that it was correct, Ye Teng solemnly thanked Zhang Xiancheng. Quickly walked over and took Cai Hui from the servant's hand, helped him to his seat and sat down, picked up his teacup, and fed him two qi tonifying pills with the tea. After about 10 minutes, seeing that Cai Hui's complexion gradually improved, he fed him a healing pill.
While waiting for the official to report the information, Ye Teng roughly guessed the reason why Cai Hui's right arm was still there: the time when the benevolent brother in his previous life saved Cai Hui was nearly a month later than Ye Teng. In the intervention of this task, Xiaoshi rubbed the buns after the old grandmother was blind, and the grandmother was blind a week after the accident at the Cai family. It can be inferred that the time when the benevolent brother in his previous life accidentally encountered the small stone should have been many days later than Ye Teng, and after encountering it, he had to find a way to rescue him, and after finding a way, he had to find a way to get money. Therefore, in the previous life, Cai Hui should have been rescued about a month late. It is possible that during this time, Cai Hui was tortured or his injuries worsened.
Of course, this may also be a hidden premise of the game: the sooner you rescue, the greater the benefits!
After about an hour, the official who went to Cui's Mansion came back and told the county that Cai's wife was buried under the largest pine tree in the mass grave in the west of the city, and that the family of Cui's Mansion had carved a mark on the big pine tree at that time: Cai's wife.
At this point, the county gave a verdict stamped with the big seal of the county government to end the matter: Cui Du robbed people, but Cai's wife committed suicide after all; Cai Hui injured many people, and three fractured people; Therefore, it was decided that the two sides should not pursue each other and close the case.
After Ye Teng got the verdict, he hired an ox cart and went straight to Cai's house.
When they arrived at the Cai family, the three generations of grandparents hugged their heads and cried, and the joy of reuniting their loved ones after the catastrophe was particularly touching and equally sad and indignant, but fortunately, Ye Teng's eloquence was given, and relying on the identity of the benefactor, they finally successfully pulled their attention back to the future survival:
Cai's wife has passed away, but the deceased is gone, and the family still needs to survive;
Cai Hui is scarred, but he has escaped from prison;
The Cai family has endured calamity, but has been reunited;
The initiator is still at large, but the opportunity for revenge is still there!
Ye Teng persuaded them to move to Ye Mansion together, one could avoid the Cui family's possible continued trouble; In both cases, you can get away from the sad place and integrate into the new environment.
In the end, Cai's mother made a decision, Cai Hui and Xiaoshi recognized Ye Teng as the master, and the whole family moved into Ye Mansion. The whole family lived together on the second floor of the main house of Ye Mansion, and before resting at night, Ye Teng fed him a healing pill and a bone renewal pill, and it was estimated that Cai Hui's injury would improve greatly the next day, of course, it would take a period of time to recuperate completely. Before leaving Cai Hui's room, Ye Teng carefully checked Cai Hui's attributes:
Name: Cai Hui, word: Chengye.
Qualification: SS level
Class: Senior GeneralSubclass: Senior Hunter
Identity: Ye Teng's general
Loyalty: 96
Level: 42
Brawn: 78 Dominance: 43 Intelligence: 50 Politics: 5
Trait: Training
Internal Strength: Advanced Exercises (Dacheng)
Skill: Bloody Battle Eight Desolations (Xuan level, has been practiced to the seventh style) advanced archery
Equipment: None
The scarcity and strength of the characteristics, Ye Teng knew it too well. Many yellow-level and Xuan-level generals may not have characteristics. For example, Cai Hui's trait - training: When leading soldiers to train, soldiers gain a 50% experience bonus. This is really too powerful, after all, you will die in war, although the country is big and warlike, it will be dangerous, and if you fight every day, how many troops are not enough to consume. Moreover, the army is flesh and blood and needs to rest. Therefore, military training is the norm and an important way to enhance strength.
At this time, although the weather was already dark, Ye Teng, who was greatly relieved, couldn't help but carry a gun to the courtyard to practice the dragon spear technique. As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and in less than 10 minutes, Ye Teng heard a pleasant system prompt sound in his ears: "Congratulations, you have created and successfully practiced the second form of the primary skill: Double Flash Battle, and obtained 2 force attribute points." As the world's first player to create his own primary skill type 2, he has 1 free attribute point. ”
Ye Tengfu was blessed to his heart, sat down cross-legged in the courtyard, condensed his mind, and began to cultivate internal strength.
Sure enough, in less than two hours, the system prompt sounded: "Congratulations, you have obtained 1 force attribute point for the completion of the cultivation of the primary exercises." ”
Adding free attribute points to the force, the force point reached 29 points, and when Ye Teng opened his eyes, he felt that his strength had increased significantly.
