Chapter 35 On Merit (Asking for Recommendations and Collections)

"Qiong'er, come and tell your uncle how you suspected that there was something wrong with the shopkeeper. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Thinking of his own appearance, it has not been half a day since he sat in Chongyi, and the case of the Wang family has made a breakthrough, even though Huang Yijing's decades of officialdom has perfected his qi cultivation kung fu, but at this time, Huang Yijing's heart is also a little rippling.

In addition to being happy, Huang Yijing asked Hu Qiong, who returned to the ancestral hall of Steep Water Village with the confession of the shopkeeper, to tell him how the case was solved.

According to the confession of the shopkeeper, his name is Wang Degui, and he is a peripheral member of the famous horse thief gang in Nanbu, Nanbatian, whose main task is to spy and transmit intelligence, and the restaurant he serves is actually a peripheral stronghold of Nanbatian. As long as you pass by his restaurant, if you are found to have something of value on you, if you are just alone, maybe you will sneak into your room on the night you stay in this restaurant, and let you disappear into this world without knowing it. Even if you are traveling together, you will encounter the legendary Nan Batian in which wilderness, and there will be no bones left at that time.

As for the tragedy that happened in the Wang family, it can be said that it is an accident, because the distance between the steep water and the front of the camp is only about 20 miles, and the people of the Wang family usually rush back to the steep water village even if they go out and come back late. This originally had no intersection with this Nan Batian gang at all, but this was not a coincidence, just two days before the tragedy of the Wang family, a caravan from the Wang family came back from other places, and when it passed in front of the camp, a carriage suddenly overturned. As soon as the carriage overturned, some of the gold, silver and jewels on it were scattered all over the ground. Although the people of the Wang family quickly packed up the money scattered on the ground, it was unfortunate that all this was seen by people with a heart, so the tragedy of the Wang family inevitably happened.

It was precisely because she felt the seriousness of the case that Hu Qiong ran back to meet Huang Yijing with the confession of the shopkeeper, that is, Wang Degui and Huang Ren, and the other three soldiers stayed in the Wang family.

Thinking that if Wang Degui was brought from the Wang family to the ancestral hall, if someone along the way saw it, there might be a leak, Hu Qiong left Wang Degui in the Wang family. Even in order to create an illusion, Hu Qiong also arranged dozens of soldiers to pretend to be melon-eating people to stand at the door of the king's house and watch.

"Uncle, in fact, the little nephew didn't find this Wang Degui suspicious at that time, although it was a little strange for him to go all the way to Steep Water Village to see the excitement of a restaurant in Yingqian Village, but he didn't think about it deeply. After all, it is also possible that this Wang Degui may also have relatives and friends in Steep Water Village, maybe he came to visit relatives and friends, which happened to catch up. To say that the first person to find out that this Wang Degui was inappropriate should be the pig ingot, and it was after it bit this Wang Degui's ankle that Wang Degui's subsequent reaction made me suspicious of him. ”

Regarding Huang Yijing's inquiry, Hu Qiong still told Huang Yijing the actual situation in 1510. This is not to say that this Hu Qiong is a sincere gentleman, but he feels that this fame and fortune are all floating clouds, and only the actual interests are truly missable. Even if this head is taken away by the pig ingot, in the end, the bounty does not have to be collected by himself. At most, when the bounty comes down, it will be enough to give the pig ingots two more good meals.

"Oh, then according to what you said, the first credit for solving the case should be credited to this little pig?"

This person is in a good mood, and even when he speaks, he seems more approachable. Although after hearing Huang Ren's report, Huang Yijing was happy that Hu Qiong was able to do things at such a young age, and was happy that his eldest brother had such a unicorn, but what really made him happy was that there was a breakthrough in the tragedy of the Wang family.

The identity of this Wang Yuanwai is just a turtle trench brother living in Steep Water Village, but if Wang Yuanwai does not say that his family was only killed by seventy-two people, and a few hundred more people will die, Huang Yijing, the governor of a province who is in charge of the army and the people, will not come to investigate in person.

Speaking of which, the identity of this king is relatively simple, he is just a spokesperson jointly launched by some of the central officials of the Heath Empire. The main job responsibility of this king is to take advantage of the geographical advantages between him and Panlong Town to sell some shady things to Panlong Town.

These shady things were all-encompassing, ranging from blades and armaments to contraband that were strictly forbidden to trade under the laws of the Heath Empire, and even the golden silk wood needed to build the palace was on the list for sale.

Therefore, these court officials have both military attaches who represent the military, as well as civil officials who call for justice all day long, and as for the threshold for entry, then your lowest level must be above the second grade. And Huang Yijing, as a feudal official of the second grade, has to become a member of this group no matter what.

After hearing that Wang Yuanwai's family was killed, this Huang Yijing was also panicked all of a sudden, for fear that this Wang Yuanwai would have some account books or the like, if this thing was leaked, it might be a big earthquake for the entire Heath Empire.

In order to ensure the stability and unity of the imperial court and not give political opponents an excuse for impeachment, Huang Yijing could only come to suppress the battle in person, hoping to close the case as soon as possible and eliminate all threats in the bud.

Now, because of Hu Qiong's effective performance, it seems that this case can be solved, and by the way, the horse thief gang that has been evil for many years can be eliminated, how can this not make Huang Yijing happy.

"Uncle, although this pig ingots have discovered the suspiciousness of this Wang Degui, the little nephew thinks that this merit should not be recorded on this ingot. In any case, this pig ingots are just a pig, a beast, if the time comes, as soon as this excerpt is handed to the cabinet, we in Nanbu, including my uncle, will be ridiculed by the entire Heath Empire, saying that all the people in our entire Nanbu are not even comparable to a pig. ”

Although he knew that this was just a joke from Huang Yijing, Hu Qiong still told the other party very clearly that it was not appropriate to give this merit to the pig ingot. Of course, although this Hu Qiong said that this first skill could not be given to the pig ingot, he still pointed out that this pig ingots were also considered meritorious pigs after all.

"Oh, what you mean is to count this gong on your head?"

Although Huang Yijing still had a smile on his face when he said this, this smile is worth playing.

"Uncle, this must not be. ”

Regarding Huang Yijing's proposal, Hu Qiong immediately rejected it sternly. What are you kidding, this is to deal with the famous horse bandits in the entire Nanbu, in case there is a fish that slips through the net, and Hu Qiong is the first to ask for merit, anyone knows that the fall of Nanbatian has a lot to do with him, and when the time comes, he will have an endless fight with him, and then he will know that the most regrettable thing in the world is nothing more than that.

Even if none of the Southern Batian gang is wiped out, then who knows if there is any life-and-death friendship between them, and it will not be possible to seek revenge on Hu Qiong for the sake of morality in the rivers and lakes at that time.

Therefore, Hu Qiong has made up her mind to solve the case this time, and only does good deeds without leaving a name.

"Then why can't you tell me? I think this time the first credit must be yours, if it weren't for this pig to bite the suspect, if you hadn't told Huang Ren to arrest people, maybe the suspect would have run away from under our noses. Since you said that this pig cannot receive merit, I also agree with this, but this pig is raised by you, and its credit must be counted on your head, plus the credit for your order to arrest people, so I said that this merit must be yours. ”

Regarding Hu Qiong's refusal to receive this first credit, Huang Yijing still agrees very much in his heart. In Huang Yijing's opinion, this Hu Qiongsheng is the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials, and this starting point is higher than that of ordinary people. Besides, in the future, this Hu Qiong is not going to be a fast catcher, where do you need to receive any credit for criminal investigation, with his uncle who is the governor and his father who is the secretary of the ministry, Hu Qiong has no need to receive any credit.

"Uncle, if you think about it, as far as the relationship between the two of us is concerned, it must be clear to the Manchu Dynasty and the military. If you hand over the excerpt with my name, will it attract gossip, saying that you are abusing your power and fraudulently receiving meritorious service, if so, it will have an impact on your old reputation, so my suggestion is that my name should not appear on this fold. As for the first merit, I think it can be counted on Huang Ren and his brothers, after all, without a few of them, it would be impossible to catch this Wang Degui without me and a pig.

As for the little nephew, although I and this pig also made a little effort in the process of arresting, we don't need to write our names on this excerpt of merit, I just hope that your uncle, you can reward us with some silver taels or something, and comfort us. ”

Hu Qiong gave a detailed explanation to Huang Yijing of the shortcomings of the person who made the first merit, and asked Huang Yijing to report Huang Ren and others as the first meritorious, of course, in order to comfort his wounded heart, Hu Qiong still hoped that Huang Yijing could make up for it more or less financially. Because in Hu Qiong's heart, those so-called false names are floating clouds, and only the gold and silver in the pocket are truly practical.

"Young Master Cousin, this is absolutely impossible. This merit must be yours, and the four of us brothers just did what we were supposed to do. ”

Hearing that Hu Qiong was going to give this merit to himself, Huang Ren, who was standing on the side, was moved, don't want it, and can't wait to be able to throw his head and spill blood for Hu Qiong immediately.

"Okay, that's it, everything will be done according to what you say. ”

Although Huang Ren still knelt on the ground and kept shirking, in the end, the boss of the scene made a final decision, and Huang Yijing said that everything should be done according to Hu Qiong's opinion.

This will divide the spoils, oh no, it should be that after the matter of merit and reward is settled, Hu Qiong and his cheap uncle began to chat about some family things. Of course, as a male elder, it is impossible to gossip so much, and after simply greeting Hu Lai and his wife, he began to study Hu Qiong's homework.

Although Hu Qiong seemed a little embarrassed at first, as soon as she said too much, she let go, and some of the words she said could still make Huang Yijing feel refreshed.

"Qiong'er, when you encircle and suppress this Nan Batian, you will also go and take a look, to see and understand?"

Just when the two were chatting happily, the people who went to the restaurant at the front of the camp came back. Due to the suddenness of the incident and the strict arrangement, all the people in this restaurant were served in one pot.

After the interrogation, Huang Yijing also had an in-depth understanding of the details of the Nanbatian's lair. At this time, Huang Yijing gave full play to the domineering spirit of the governor of a province, and as soon as he found out the situation, he held a meeting to arrange the encirclement and suppression of the Southern Batian, which was simply appropriate to chase after the poor and brave. After arranging everything, Huang Yijing asked Hu Qiong if he was interested in going to Nan Batian's lair for a day trip.

"Uncle, my little nephew is not an official after all, and it will be unjustifiable to participate in the war with the army when the time comes. Besides, if I go, then I have to send people to protect me, which will also weaken the power to attack Nan Batian. It's better for Huang Ren and the four brothers to go there on my behalf, and then tell me in detail about the situation of the bandits' nest. ”

Hearing Huang Yijing's words, although Hu Qiong knew very well that the other party asked him to go this trip was completely for his benefits. As long as Nan Batian's lair is captured, those gold, silver and jewelry that Hu Qiong fancies will definitely disappear from the inventory list. But what kind of person is Hu Qiong, he always keeps in mind the message of the old way, and the gentleman does not stand under the wall. Even if Huang Yijing sent heavy troops to protect him at that time, he would not hurt a single hair of his hair. But it would not be good if his handsome and chic image spread out, Hu Qiong always thought that his appearance should only belong to legends in the rivers and lakes.

Although Hu Qiong himself was reluctant to go, this did not mean that Hu Qiong was willing to give up those wealth, so he sent Huang Ren and the four of them to go, and emphasized that this was on his behalf.

"It's Young Master Cousin, I will definitely report to you in detail what I have seen!"

Regarding Hu Qiong's request, Huang Ren patted his chest and promised.

"Alas, Huang Ren, when you take the other three brothers later, you must make it clear to Huang Zhi that this is going on my behalf, show me everything I should see clearly, and tell me when you come back. Remember, you must tell Huang Zhi as I said. ”

Hu Qiong felt speechless about Huang Ren's uprightness, and only hoped that Huang Ren's little brother Huang Zhi could understand his thoughts, so he told Huang Ren to tell Huang Zhi his original words.

"Yes, Young Master. I must tell Huang Zhi the original words. ”

Huang Ren here patted his chest again and assured.

"Okay, Huang Ren, you hurry up and do what Young Master Biao said. ”

After hearing Hu Qiong's arrangement, Huang Yijing nodded slightly, and secretly praised it in his heart, so he ordered this Huang Ren to quickly deal with it according to Hu Qiong's words.
