Chapter 144: Bereavement
Dongqu and the others didn't expect that Xiao Rui would actually go for three days like this, and Qin Mingyue did not stay alone in Fengyuan for these three days.
She asked Zeng Yukun and some of the secret guards of the Star Picking Tower, under the protection of the Yun family, to let the Yunyuqiao sisters take her to start wandering around in Cloud City in disguise, and later, she simply left Cloud City and went to the village on the plain below Cloud City.
Of course, they are all dressed in disguise, sometimes pretending to be a rich boy to go out to play, and sometimes, pretending to be a female crown of the Taoist family. Even so, in the past three days, they have actually encountered two assassinations. What made Zeng Yukun admire was that every time, Qin Mingyue seemed to be sensing it in advance, and she had already calculated it, and let Zeng Yukun take the Yun family and the people from the official mansion to continue to the assassin's ambush location, while she took people to another path.
Of course, in doing so, Qin Mingyue was unscathed, and the people who were brought out to confront the assassins were actually very small because they knew the news in advance and made preparations in advance, and the number of people accounted for the majority.
Qin Mingyue is very generous in doing things, these casualties caused by her, even if the other party is a pawn of Cloud City, even if the other party is a soldier of the Yun family, she will also give additional compensation to the casualties.
For those who were slightly injured, not only did they invite the best doctor in Cloud City to show them, she was responsible for all the cost of soup and medicine, and she also gave each person five taels of silver. Those who are seriously injured will not only be treated for their injuries, but will also be given a pension of fifty taels of silver per person. As for the deceased, each of them was given a bereavement payment of one hundred taels of silver.
That's more than the imperial court gave.
On this day, Qiao Yilun, the garrison of Cloud City, spoke to Zeng Yukun: "Zeng Shizi, tell me, why is this Miss Mingyue so godly?" Just now, how did she know that in the place of Tiger Leaping Cliff in front of her, there would be people from Wumen in ambush? How did you know that you informed us to outflank us from both sides and wrap up the ambushed assassins? ”
"Hehe, when I think of those Witch Assassins, I really feel very happy to see our frightened expressions, although this time, seven or eight of our brothers were wounded and two brothers were killed, but we also got a lot of credit. There are nearly thirty Wumen assassins in total, but a lot of credit, I have once again written to Li Thorn Shi in Dujiang City. Hehe, this year, I have added another stroke to the merit book of the Ministry of War. ”
"Actually, even the two brothers who died in battle are actually not at a loss. Think back then, when we were on the frontier, on which day did no soldiers die? What if you die? The imperial court gave a pension of ten taels or eight taels at most. The wife and children at home can't support them. As for the injured brothers, it was even worse. Like me, with a little credit, relying on the savings of the past years, I can still retire, and the military department gave a position in the garrison of Cloud City in Ba Province to retire. More brothers have no food to eat since then, and they are destitute and can only die miserably. ”
"Tsk, we have a pension of one hundred taels of silver in Cloud City, which is enough for the wife and children at home to buy seventeen or eighteen acres of land, be hardworking, and have enough food and clothing. As for those who were seriously injured, with fifty taels of silver, they could buy seven or eight acres of land, and they didn't have to continue to work on errands, just go back and take their wives and children to farm, anyway, they would be enough to live. The minor injuries were not much of a hindrance, and some people paid for medical expenses, and if they were cured, they could get five taels of silver. These five taels of silver are enough for the family to chew for a year or two. ”
"This is just the pension given by Miss Mingyue alone, and the little pension given by the government, although it is small, it can be regarded as the icing on the cake. So, these days, the brothers are fighting bravely to be the first, scrambling to get this job. ”
Zeng Yukun smiled and said: "Rao is so, Miss still feels sorry for those deceased brothers, I have already sent a message, after the construction of Daomen Primary School, the children of these dead and injured brothers will be the first to enter the school for free, regardless of what kind of craft they have, learn a subject, and they will not worry about this way to eat in the future." ”
Garrison Qiao Yilun widened a pair of small eyes: "Oh, there is also this good thing, I want to talk to my brothers, in this way, it is estimated that there are more people who are willing to follow Miss Mingyue out." ”
Zeng Yukun said: "Hehe, this matter, it is estimated that there is not much, Miss will not go out from tomorrow." Tomorrow, she will go to the ancestral grave of the Yun family to do things. I'm telling you, you'd better follow along and see this. Miss Mingyue's Taoism is magical, maybe we don't have many opportunities to see such miracles appear in this life. ”
Qiao Yilun nodded and said, "Yes, don't say anything else, some time ago, Miss Mingyue's practice caused the pillar of light to soar into the sky in the mountains." It scared me half to death. Later, I wondered, could it be that there is something in this mountain that is about to appear? Or is it like the confluence of the three rivers in Dujiang City, which also ambushed a mirage? Later, I found out that it was actually done by Miss Mingyue. At that time, I regretted it, why did I stay in the city, I should have followed to see it. Maybe I'll be able to come back with some spirits. ”
Zeng Yukun said: "Who says it's not? I didn't go the last time, and I'm regretting it. This time, I'm going anyway. Come to think of it, the Yun family won't let us go. ”
Qiao Yilun said: "Don't worry, the Yun family is all bright people, and they will definitely let us go." By the way, Zeng Shizi hasn't told me yet, how does Miss Mingyue know where these assassins are ambushed? Could it be that she has an inside line? ”
Zeng Yukun smiled: "Miss, she is not familiar with the life in Ba Province, where is there any inside line?" However, since you are going to go with you tomorrow to see the young lady presiding over the ceremony and see the miracle appearing, how can you not imagine how the young lady knows where the assassin is ambushed? ”
Qiao Yilun patted his brain with a pair of big hands: "Oh, look at my dead brain." No wonder Li Tingshi said that I am a stupid pig. Why didn't I remember this stubble? Miss Mingyue, who is that? That's the future national teacher. I heard that Shen Guoshi has passed on the crown of the national teacher to Miss Mingyue. So what does this mean? It shows that Miss Mingyue will become a new national teacher soon. ”
"Successive national teachers, which one is not a fairy-like figure? Those of us who have been at the border have heard from the veterans. Every time there is a major war, the successive national teachers have divined how to fight, and then the generals follow the instructions of the national teachers, and then formulate a plan for marching and arranging, so that they can resist the wolf cubs like Daxia, Dashang, and Dayu from the country. National teachers, they are all immortals. ”
"All of them can pinch and calculate, and all of them are land immortals. The Great Zhou can have today, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, really thanks to the successive national teachers. I just don't understand, what's wrong with the people in Pakistan? Why don't you believe in such a good sect as Daomen, but also believe in those witches who are deceived and abducted? Don't you know that Wumen's Great Xia, Great Yu, Great Shang and our Great Zhou are enemies? ”
Zeng Yukun couldn't help but sigh.
