Chapter 647 647: A close friend, I need to pay more [two-in-one]
Deed of redemption? ? ?
Three big characters make people suspect that they are illiterate.
"Redemption deed? Redemption? What does this mean?" Qiu Cheng's old subordinate slapped the "redemption deed" on the table and shouted sternly, "What does Shen Youli mean by this! Give it to me!" What does a 'redemption deed' mean! "
The old man who was given the deed had a hot temper.
The soldier who came to deliver the deed was shivering from the spray and dared not wipe his face with spittle. Even though this old soldier has been banned from the Dan Mansion and cannot use his unique skills of tearing alive people apart, his tall and strong body and the murderous intent honed by years of fighting still cast a psychological shadow on the soldier. The soldier said bravely: "The idea is... to let the general's family use money to redeem the person..."
"Why!"
The table was slapped.
Xiao Bing: "...But, you are a prisoner."
The honest answer choked Qiucheng's old subordinates to the point of speechlessness. He was like a wounded beast whose territory had been violated. Pacing back and forth anxiously and annoyed. After a long while, he said with great irritation: "My family members are all dead, what can I use to redeem myself?"
Hearing this, the soldier looked at him with sympathy and said: "If that's the case, you can only redeem yourself by doing corvee labor to earn working hours... When you have earned enough, you will regain your freedom... With the ability of a general, it should be very easy It’s fast...”
After all, it’s an eighth-class public transport.
Qiu Cheng's old ministry: "..."
Two forces are fighting, and the winning side asks the losing side to exchange money, rice and food for the prisoners. This is actually a common operation.
Because captives are manpower and also a burden.
There are as many mouths as there are prisoners.
No food and no price or no way to sell it?
The only option is to kill them all to save food rations.
However, Qiu Cheng was in a special situation this time, being dominated by Shen Tang from top to bottom. Not to mention the captured former troops, even Qiucheng himself was handed a "deed of ransom." The amount is determined by referring to their family background, background, status, savings and other data to arrive at a more reasonable figure. They can choose to have their relatives redeem the person with money, or they can work to redeem the person.
What if you just live on without paying or working?
Then we can only meet the King of Hell.
In short, you can’t just eat rice.
Some of the people responsible for negotiating with them were former colleagues who had changed their positions, which was somewhat embarrassing.
Qiu Cheng's face was as black as the ashes on the bottom of a pot, and the eldest lady frowned: "Master Sir, why don't you ask me to write a letter to my mother's family?"
Qiu Cheng wants to redeem himself, so he has to write a letter The eldest patriarch of the Qiu family, who was his nominal cousin and actual brother, wanted redemption money. However, Qiu Cheng had previously ignored the fact that his eldest brother and his family were in the hands of Zheng Qiao, and responded to Huang Lie by raising troops to fight against Zheng Qiao.
They almost forced the whole Qiu family to death.
The two brothers had a deadly feud.
How can you come up with the ransom money to redeem yourself at this moment?
Even if the other party is willing, Qiu Cheng has no shame to speak. He has been secretly competing with his eldest brother all his life, and he will never bow to anyone. The eldest lady saw her husband's inner awkwardness, and in order to maintain his dignity, she took the initiative to speak.
Qiu Cheng shook his head and refused.
"My father-in-law has not been easy in the past few years. He has not received much respect from my son-in-law. How can I bother him with my words?"
This is actually a scene talk.
The actual reason is that Qiu Cheng did not develop well in the early years, and the eldest lady’s mother’s family disliked him. The two families had little contact and their friendship was shallow. He has no feelings for the married daughter of the eldest lady, and if he asks for money now, he will definitely be declined.
Why did Qiu Cheng rush to suffer this humiliation?
The couple fell into sorrow.
At this moment, Shen Tang also had his own troubles.
It’s not because there are too many government affairs - after capturing Xiaocheng, she has been busy, but she is also poorer than before, and there is a serious shortage of manpower at the grassroots level. It is much better to do everything by herself - she is worried about two things now, One of them is also related to Xun Ding.
On the fifth day after taking Xiaocheng, when Qiucheng and his old subordinates received the deed, Xun Ding gave her something.
A crudely made wooden box.
“What is this?”
Shen Tang did not open it to read.
Xun Ding said: "Return to Mr. Shen to redeem his life."
The young man is wearing a loose-fitting indigo round-collared uniform, with a wavy waist that tightens the waistline. At first glance, he does not look like a warrior. , a bit like a romantic scribe. However, his answer left Shen Tang confused: "You want to redeem yourself? But you are not a prisoner at all, so there is no redemption. Speaking of which, you made a lot of contributions in the battle of Xiaocheng."
Rewards should be based on merit.
But Xun Ding couldn't stand it and owed Xun Zhen a lot of debt.
"No, it's to redeem Gong Xi's revenge."
"To redeem Gong Xi's revenge?"
Shen Tang thought about how he had been eating and drinking for free these past few days, playing marbles and sunbathing in his spare time. How could this guy look like a prisoner when he attacked Yang Ying's Gong Xichou? Could it be that Xun Ding misunderstood something? Moreover, she remembered that Xun Ding and Gong Xi were not at odds with each other.
She began to tease, and said: "Gong Xiqiu is a close friend of mine. If you want to redeem him, you have to pay more!"
Xun Ding was not sure: "Maybe... Enough.”
This time it was Shen Tang's turn to be surprised.
How could Xun Zhen have such a fortune?
She couldn't wait to open the wooden box, and what she saw looked familiar. She touched her waist and felt the governor's seal and ribbon. The object in the box is also a seal ribbon, the seal ribbon of the chief of a county. Shen Tang raised his eyes and looked at Xun Ding, almost indigestion: "What do you mean by Yong'an, do you want to use Minfeng County to redeem Gongxi Qiu?"
Xun Ding nodded: "Yes. Although Minfeng County is only a small place. , the surroundings are There are many mountains and valleys, little cultivated land, and few civilians, but Haolai is still a county. Lord Shen has complete control of Sibao County, and taking over Mingfeng County is the icing on the cake. Not distressed at all.
The seals and ribbons of Minfeng County were originally obtained by him using force to kill the original county government. In recent years, by cleaning up the bandits hiding in the territory, they have been beaten so that they dare not disturb the common people in the territory, making the common people's lives a little easier, but only a little.
If you want to truly live a good life, you still need a professional team.
And, invest a lot of money.
Shen Tang thought for a long time and pushed the seal ribbon.
It’s not that she doesn’t want this land, but——
"Someone has handed over the redemption money for Gong Xiqiu."
Xun Ding was surprised: "Who?"
"Lin Lingde and Tu Xianrong."
Two A strange name, Xun Ding didn’t recognize any of them.
"You know one of them." She already knew that before the encounter broke out between Linshan County and Xun Ding, Xun Ding met Kang Shi's troops, so he must have fought with Lin Feng. "As for Tu Xianrong, he He is Ling De’s senior brother. Gong Xiqiu has saved their lives. I promised Ling De that I would capture Gong Xiqiu one day and let him go for her sake.”
"I see." But Xun Ding still pushed Yinshou to Shen Tang and said, "My father's vision is not wrong."
Shen Tang: "..."
This The trust is really heavy.
Another thing she worries about is not how to govern Sibao County and Mingfeng County, but how many uninvited guests come to visit.
We were acquaintances along the way.
Qin Li, Qin Gongsu.
He was the first to come over, and as soon as he came he said: "Don't be angry, Mr. Shen. My lord also had to send someone to make this trip due to the friendship between allies. In terms of relationship and friendship, it is natural to be more friendly with Mr. Shen. To get close. Qiu Cheng...Does Shen Jun have any plans? ""Kill or release?"
Two years have not left any trace on Qin Li's face.
He is becoming more calm and graceful.
"We haven't seen each other for two or three years. Is Gong Su so straightforward?" He didn't warm up the situation. He said some greetings and went straight to the topic. Shen Tang said, "I don't intend to kill him, but I don't want to let him go just like that. Maybe. Autumn When will Wenyan hand over the ransom money, and when will he be free again? Brother Wu’s family has a great business, so if you are willing to help pay, you can.”
This statement clearly expresses his concern for Wu Xian. Nosy dissatisfaction , Qin Li said: "Shen Jun is joking, my master has a close friendship with Qiu Cheng, how can he hurt the relationship between Wu and Chen's family for his sake? I am interrupting you this time, but there is actually another important matter."
Shen Tang asked : " "What's the important matter?"
"Shen Jun is willing to work with us to overthrow the tyrant?" Shen Tang's annexation of Qiu Cheng is equivalent to depriving the Dragon Slaying Bureau alliance of Qiu Cheng's elite, so there will naturally be someone to fill this vacancy. Make up.
Shen Tang moved a lot and changed the subject.
"Brother Wu is the leader of the alliance now?"
Qin Li replied: "No. But in a short time, Huang Lie's envoy will arrive. Lord Shen had better make a decision early. To be honest with Lord Shen, Qiu Cheng has a lot of friends. In this battle with him, many people will be dissatisfied. I am afraid that in the future ..."
Shen Tang chuckled: "Does he have many friends? He has a good relationship. I want to see who among them is willing to pay Qiu Cheng's ransom?"
Qin Li: "... ”
Whether to enter or not, Shen Tang never gave a direct answer.
However, just as Qin Li said, Huang Lie's envoy soon arrived at Xiaocheng. The envoy was a middle-aged scribe, and his attitude was very respectful, and Shen Tang was willing to give him a good look. When the envoy mentioned Qiu Cheng, Shen Tang was as cruel as a knife.
One sentence——
If you want her to let her go, take the money. If you don’t have the money, don’t beep.
The purpose of the envoy was not to plead with Qiu Cheng, but also to test Shen Tang's tone. The envoy arrived at the border of Sibao County long before the winner was decided between the two sides. Huang Lie asked him to act according to the situation. If Shen Tang was valuable, he would win over him, and if he was not, he would put pressure on him.
Obviously, the result is the former.
Hearing that Qian Yong rushed to raid Shen Tang's lair, he kicked an iron plate and almost broke his foot. He suffered a lot of damage and fled back in embarrassment.
"Shen Jun, are you willing to work with us to overthrow the tyrant?"
Shen Tang was serious when he heard the words, and his words were sonorous and powerful.
“For the livelihood of the people of the world, Shen has no obligation to refuse!”
The messenger’s eyes lit up and he was overjoyed: “Shen Jun is righteous!”
The time is set after the spring plowing in the coming spring.
Shen Tang: "Shen will definitely come to the appointment on time."
The war will happen next year. The top priority is to solve the trivial matters in the old nest. It will be a waste of time for Xun Ding to throw Min. Feng County—Although this place is only about the size of a palm, there are a lot of troubles in it, and it takes some energy to sort them out.
In his spare time, Shen Tang listened to the gossip.
Bai Su: "Master, do you still remember Miao Shu?"
Shen Tang looked up from the government affairs: "Of course I remember, how come, this person faked the corpse? Or faked his own death before to hide the truth?"
Bai Su didn't know where his master came from such a big idea, shook his head, and sighed with a sigh. He said in a tone of voice: "No, her body was left to dry in the courtyard for five or six days. Fortunately, it was cold now. If it was midsummer, , I don’t know how many maggots have crawled..."
Shen Tang didn’t think much about it at first, and just said: "Aristocratic families are very particular, and they usually have to rest for seven or fourteen days."
< br>Some people with noble family backgrounds wait for three to five years until the mausoleum is completed before being buried. The gossip Bai Su said is not interesting at all. But who knows, Bai Su said: "It's not that the spirit is stopped, or it's just left there without anyone taking care of it. It's a poor person."
Shen Tang was shocked: "That old rookie Sepi didn't take care of it?"
After all, a couple's kindness lasts a hundred days, and Miao Shu is still his old subordinate. Although Qiu Wenyan was a prisoner and had no freedom, it was not difficult to entrust the old ministers who had changed the court to help bury Miao Shu's body, and Shen Tang was not so mean that he would not allow it.
Bai Su was also surprised and said: "I don't care."
He also guessed: "Maybe he is worried about annoying the lord?"
Shen Tang said angrily: "He has some brains. Trap! ”
Who in the world doesn’t know that Shen Youli has a kind heart?
"Shaoxuan, what happened after that?"
If the body is still there, Shen Tang will have to find someone to bury Miao Shu properly. She did not punish Miao Shu, nor did she humiliate her. She had other considerations. In the future, there will be more and more female literary scholars or brave warriors. It is impossible for them all to be loyal to Shen Tang, and conquests will be inevitable in the future. As long as there is a war, there will be a victory or defeat. Women are captured and their situation is more difficult than that of men.
For example, encountering sexual violence and torture.
I only hope that the victors will treat them as true warriors and warriors, respect them and avoid being scornful.
Bai Su replied: "It has been buried properly. It was an eighth-class public servant from Qiu Cheng's old department who came forward to ask for help from his colleagues who had returned. This person was saved by Miao Shu, and now Come forward to bury the corpse in return... Oh, the judgment is high."
Shen Tang agreed upon hearing this.
"Where is that eighth-class public servant?"
Bai Sudao: "He is doing corvee work to earn working hours."
Shen Tang: "..."
She remembered that Mr. Yang was in charge of this matter.
When Xiaocheng was destroyed, the person with the most complicated emotions was Duke Yang who had used his courage to defend the city. In the past two days, he took special leave to go to the place where his old residence was to pay homage to his family. Shen Tang didn't bother him and waited for him to adjust his mood.
In order not to let herself think too much, Princess Yang took on many errands. Although he is not as strong as he once was, he has learned other things in the past four years, and Shen Tang is relieved. Coincidentally, Mr. Yang came to the county government today, and Shen Tang told him about the eighth-class public transport.
Mr. Yang thought carefully: "There is such a person."
Shen Tang: "Is there any trouble?"
Mr. Yang shook his head: "No, look. He is an honest and honest person. I was wondering why the lord didn’t recruit this person.”
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that he doesn't want to."
My family knows their own affairs.
How could she not know where the shortcomings of the account were?
This time when HR was interviewing Qiu Cheng’s old subordinates, she specifically asked Gu Chi to pay attention to available generals. Being biased would affect his performance.
As the lord, Shen Tang cannot fight in person every time. It's not that she is unwilling, but that in the future she may be fighting on multiple fronts, with multiple battlefields being fought at the same time, and she will not be able to do all the work on her own. Naturally, we should develop in a balanced way while our power is still small.
But if people don't want to, she can't force it.
"Oh, actually it would be great if I could keep Gong Xiqiu..." It would be better to use a top combat power to pull down the average. Shen Tang felt that it was necessary to fool his close friend again and leave Gong Xiqiu behind. When he came to the west, Gong Xiqiu couldn't escape, "Mr. Yang, do you want to go and take a look?"
Yang Gongdao said: "That's okay."
Meet the young man who defeated him completely back then. .
_(:з ∠)_
Let’s make a transition and go fuck Zheng Qiao.
Bet, bet, guess who will win Zheng Qiao’s head?
Shen Tang: As soon as Yang Gong entered the door, he saw Gong Xiqiu beating Yang Ying in Ou...
