Chapter 465: Beheading
It took many years for the dog to fully heal from the harm done to the dog by his native family.
The harm done to her by this medicinal pork belly...
"Then I will make a pot of stew for you every day!" Yin Lingyou said happily.
No need!
Xia Mingyue hurriedly found an excuse to refuse, "Actually, I don't like eating pork these days. Well, I just don't like eating pork belly."
"That's it." Yin Lingyou thought for a while, "Then Just stew pork liver. Pork liver nourishes blood and improves eyesight. It is most suitable for Lady Xia. Then add a little bit of sour plum, which is beneficial to the stomach and intestines..."
Sour plum, pork liver?
Is this an ingredient that can be put together?
Every word looks familiar, but why are they so strange when put together...
After eating medicated meals that had a complex taste that was difficult to swallow for several days in a row, and the complex taste was different every day, with new and complicated recipes every day, Xia Mingyue finally thought of a way to stop Yin Lingyou from continuing to stew the medicated meals.
Get a copy of the storybook that has been reviewed by Shen Shujun, and give it to Yin Lingyou along with a few storybooks that she had previously thought were very good, so that he could read it slowly.
And Yinling Tour was just as Xia Mingyue expected. From then on, she stayed up all night reading, forgetting about food and sleep, and indulged in it...
Just when Xia Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, A letter arrived.
It was written by Lu Qiyan.
He said that the army was busy and had no time to spare. He and An Yunji probably wouldn't be able to go home on New Year's Eve, so Xia Mingyue must take good care of herself.
Putted in the envelope together with the letter paper is a banknote.
The face value is two thousand taels.
Xia Mingyue held the letter and the banknote, pursed her lips and was silent for a long time, but finally let out a "hum".
If you don’t come back to celebrate the New Year, you won’t come back. You even sent her such a big banknote. Are you trying to send her away?
Do you think she is someone who doesn't care about other things when she has money?
Really...
The guess is so accurate!
Now that you have money, men don’t matter anymore!
Xia Mingyue carefully collected the large banknotes, wrapped them in paper again and again, and then put them into a locked box.
The box is painted with multiple layers of tung oil to make it waterproof and moth-proof, and there is a medicinal sachet inside to avoid snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Burying it like this makes it twice as safe.
Zhao Youcai, who lives next door, also received a letter from Lu Qiyan.
To be exact, it’s a reply.
Zhao Youcai had been recovering from his injuries at home for several months. His leg injuries had healed and he was recovering very well. He was thinking about things in the army. He had previously asked someone to send a letter to Lu Qiyan in the army, asking him when he could return to the military camp.
Lu Qiyan's reply this time was to inform Zhao Youcai that he could return to the military camp, and that he would return as the head of the army.
The promotion of the head of the brigade to the head of the capital was a great joy for Zhao Youcai. After receiving the letter, he happily started packing his clothes and other things.
On the other hand, Mrs. Lu frowned in worry. After mumbling for a long time, she asked in a low voice, "Do I have to go back to this military camp?"
In the past, Zhao Youcai joined the army, mostly for the following reasons: However, in the past two years, the family has made a lot of money with Xia Mingyue. Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu also have skills, so the family will not have to worry about food and drink in the future.
Lu had been on tenterhooks for many years, not wanting to let herself live such an unstable life again.
“It doesn’t mean that something will happen in this battle, right?” Zhao Youcai opened his mouth to reassure, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
There are bound to be casualties in a war, and there are indeed some who will be fine, but there is no way to prevent something from happening... Lu was still full of worry, but she also felt that these words were really unlucky, so she hurriedly said "Bah, bah" twice, and sighed, " I hope so."
Zhao Youcai was able to rest at home peacefully until his leg injury fully recovered, and was promoted to the position of head of the capital. Lu Qiyan contributed a lot to this.
It is not a good idea to give up your choice at this time.
Besides, Lu Qiyan is considered a grassroots leader, so he must have brothers around him who have experienced life and death.
Due to emotions and reasons, Zhao Youcai had to go back.
Mr. Lu knew that the outcome could not be changed, so she could only keep praying to the City God in her heart, hoping that Zhao Youcai, Lu Qiyan and everyone would be safe and sound.
Seeing that his wife was worried, Zhao Youcai just smiled and said, "Don't worry."
Three simple words seemed a bit dry, but he really didn't know what to say next to them. What, even if you say it too much, it will be useless in the end.
Only then can we prove it with facts!
Zhao Youcai set out early the next morning. When he left, he was covered in big and small bags.
Most of them were winter clothes, shoes and other items that Lu made for him, and some were things Xia Mingyue asked him to bring to Lu Qiyan and An Yunji.
Lu Qiyan and An Yunji had already taken away their winter clothes and shoes. This time, Xia Mingyue did not prepare too much. She only prepared some honey-glazed preserved meat baked by herself for Lu Qiyan, An Yunji and Zhao Youcai and the others held a tooth ceremony in their free time.
Beef jerky is minced pork tenderloin, mixed with various seasonings, and then crushed into thin slices. Cut into cubes of appropriate size. Brush with honey and sprinkle with sesame seeds when grilled. , after roasting, it tastes five-spice with a touch of sweetness, delicious, and easier to chew than the previous jerky, without straining your cheeks.
The dried meat roasted in this way is durable in storage and easy to pack. It can replenish strength and resist hunger at critical moments. It is very suitable for taking with you when going to war.
There were a lot of roasted pork breasts, including some for Lu Qiyan and An Yunji, as well as some for Zhao Youcai.
Zhao Youcai thanked him repeatedly, carried large and small packages on his back, and walked west out of the city gate, heading all the way to the military camp.
At this time, the atmosphere in the military camp was extremely depressing.
After days of trials by the Ministry of Punishment, An Jingzhong has committed more and more crimes.
In addition to the previous greed for military supplies and medicinal materials, killing good men and taking merit, brutally killing Cui Wendong, bullying the emperor, and resisting orders and disrespecting the emperor, there are also those who are overjoyed with great achievements, humiliating soldiers in the army, and disposing of innocent people at will without complying with military laws. Criminal soldiers, accepting bribes, seizing fertile land...
There are piles of piles, and there are more than 30 of them.
According to the laws of the current dynasty, it would be enough to behead dozens of times.
An Leiting only had such a legitimate son. After hearing the news, he wrote several letters to plead guilty, and even detailed his military exploits over the past few years, hoping that the emperor would be lenient and spare An Jingzhong's life.
However, the emperor's thunderous anger did not diminish and he personally ordered An Jingzhong to be beheaded and executed on March 16th of the following year.
When An Leiting heard about this, his face was dejected, his heart was filled with grief, and he stayed in bed for several days.
Later, another decree was passed to the army.
The wandering army of Jin Weiguo was causing trouble, and they even wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the city. The border was in turmoil, so An Leiting was ordered to lead an army of 50,000 at the border to stand ready to annihilate the wandering army and stabilize the border.
An Leiting couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth after receiving such a decree.
Your Majesty is really interesting.
You want to kill his son, but at the same time you want him to serve the country loyally. He is really greedy.
