Chapter 047 Joke
Other officials are either getting bigger and bigger, or they are getting more and more money, and Lin Zimo is a fast claw. The 2,000 taels of silver he got from Zhang Chi didn't cover much, so he went out one after another. Fortunately, he had seen some of the world in his previous life, otherwise he would be very distressed.
Lin Zimo, who was sober, knew that this sum of silver must be rewarded. Those who follow themselves are injured, disabled and killed in battle always need to get the rewards they deserve. He knew that they were all suffering people, otherwise they would not have done terrible things. There are only so many things I can do, so I asked Zhao Wenxuan to cook quickly.
"Brother, I think this can be postponed. You don't have to take out your money and farmland to pay in advance. Zhao Wenxuan said his thoughts and said, "We can send the good news first, wait until the money of the court is sent out, and then send it to them one after another. They should not have any opinions, and it is impossible for the court not to admit it.
Lin Zimo smiled faintly and said, "The shortage of silver in the county government, the government, the provincial government, and the household department is not a matter of a day or two. I believe that the court will not repudiate the debt, but it is hard to say when they can send me the cash money. They are all ordinary people, and what they especially lack is silver. Only when we send white silver to their hands can we truly establish prestige in their minds. These people will follow us solidly."
"What the eldest brother said is reasonable." Zhao Wenxuan said with admiration, "I will do it as soon as you want."
Lin Zimo called Yang Mengqi and asked her to take out the 1,000 taels of silver tickets at home and the land deed by the Xiaoqing River. Without hesitation, she returned to the north room and took out everything he had entrusted. Yang Mengqi, who returned to the front hall, put down his things and retreated. She knows that men talk about things, and women should not be present.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work." Lin Zimo still had some worries and said, "Our Pingnan County is really a right and wrong place. If you want to relieve the disaster of war here, you still have to recruit a large number of volunteers to protect the country, otherwise it will always make me feel uneasy. The trouble with this is that there is not enough money."
"Big brother, don't worry." Zhao Wenxuan comforted him, "Let's do these things slowly."
The two brothers chatted for a long time until they drank and talked until dinner. Although the rebels have retreated, there is no guarantee that they will not come again. The scale of this battle is very small, but the proportion of casualties is quite high. Zhao Wenxuan's officers and soldiers and Lin Zimo's bravery suffered more than half of the casualties, while the casualty rate of Wang Pengfei's army was much smaller. Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan, who were not carried away by victory, clearly realized that what they need most now is to supplement soldiers and train a few more righteous teams.
When the two were drinking happily, Cailian led Wang Qiang with a crutch in both hands and walked up.
Wang Qiang, who threw away the stick in his hand, took care that the injury on his body had not healed. He fell to the ground and kowtowed three times to Lin Zimo. He held his fists in his hands and said, "This little life was saved by Lord Lin. In the future, my Wang Qiang's life will be adult. If the master does not give up, I am willing to serve you.
"Get up and talk." Lin Zimo, who put down the glass in his hand, said seriously, "This time, you are very brave and fearless. I decided to let you be the leader of justice. You have to do it well and live up to my expectations of you.
"I don't want to be a brave leader." Wang Qiang, who was reused, did not show excitement, but knelt on the ground and did not stand up and said, "Even if I just want to be a family member here, I am willing. I hope you can fulfill me."
"You really don't regret it?" Zhao Wenxuan suddenly interrupted and said, "Although you are only the leader of the righteous and brave, the number of people under jurisdiction is the same as mine. Many people dream of getting your position, but you refuse. I think you should think about it carefully and live up to your eldest brother's kindness.
"I don't regret it." Wang Qiang's eyes showed perseverance and said, "Master Lin, just accept me!" I can do anything."
Lin Zimo said half-seriously and half-falsely, "If I ask you to do things like killing and arson, are you willing to do it?"
"My life is already the master's." Wang Qiang said without hesitation, "I will kill whoever you want me to kill. There is absolutely nothing to say."
Lin Zimo took a look at Cailian standing next to her, so he pointed to her and said, "Kill her for me."
Wang Qiang stood up without asking anything. When he turned around, the perseverance revealed in his eyes turned cold in an instant. The murderous atmosphere on his body suddenly expanded. Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan sitting next to the wine table can feel the cold breath of death. And that breath can only be felt by people like them who have killed many people.
The lotus with soft feet was so scared that she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowed and said, "Master, forgive me..."
As soon as Wang Qiang took two steps, he was stopped by Lin Zimo: "Shout. Since you are willing to stay here, I will leave you behind. You don't have to kill this person. I have to keep her to show you the way."
Wang Qiang, who knelt down again, knocked three more times and said, "Thank you for your success."
"Cai Lian, take Wang Qiang down." After thinking for a moment, Lin Zimo said calmly, "You just take him to the west wing room."
Cailian, who was frightened, tried to stand up, but her feet did not listen to her at all. Wang Qiang, who got up again, his eyes became much softer, and his footsteps slowly walked towards her.
"Don't come here. Do you hear me? I told you not to come here. Cailian suddenly cried with fear and said, "Second lady, help!"
Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan couldn't help laughing. It's really funny for people like them. Zhao Wenxuan, sitting next to him, knew for a long time that his brother did not intend to let Wang Qiang kill Cailian, and his purpose was nothing more than to test Wang Qiang's loyalty.
Chu Hanlu, who heard his maid shouting, suddenly appeared and said blankly, "Cailian, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing the savior Cailian climbed to her feet, stretched out her hands and hugged her feet, crying and begging, "Second lady, save Cailian quickly! Whoo, whoo, whoo..."
Wang Qiang bowed to Chu Hanlu and said kindly, "Good evening, second lady. My name is Wang Qiang, the master's family.
Chu Hanlu, who didn't see anything wrong, said with his head down, "Good Cailian, don't cry. You stand up first!"
Lin Zimo, who supported his chin with his left hand, thought this scene was very funny and funny. Two pure and ignorant girls and three murderous men form a strange picture. And what Chu Hanlu said made him feel more and more coke. Zhao Wenxuan, who drank a glass of wine, also found it interesting and kept laughing.
Cailian's cry for help shocked Yang Mengqi and her mother, and they rushed in together to see what was going on. As a result, they didn't find anything strange. They were equally strange. Yang Mengqi saw that Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan kept laughing, while Cailian cried with tears on his face, revealing extreme fear in his expression.
"Fare, what happened?" Yang Mengqi went to his husband and asked.
"It's nothing. Just now, I just made a little joke with Cailian. Lin Zi, who was so smiling that his face was stiff, said silently.
Yang Mengqi, who didn't ask the result, walked to Cailian and said, "What do you think happened again?"
Cailian looked up at her and knew that it was important for her to speak in this family. She was second only to Lin Zi and said silently, "Madam, you must save me. As long as you open your mouth, the master will listen. If you don't save Cailian, I will have to die."
"How can I save you if you don't say it?" Yang Mengqi, who locked his eyebrows, said bluntly, "Speak quickly."
"Master, the master wants that person to kill me." Cailian pointed to Wang Qiangdao.
Clever Yang Mengqi suddenly understood. After all, Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan laughed so happily. She thought that Cailian, a girl, was not only timid, but also really stupid. My father-in-law is not a pervert who likes to kill and have fun when he has something to do. However, Yang Mengqi stood from the perspective of Cailian and felt that it was really difficult for her.
Knowing the reason for the matter, Chu Hanlu stood up and said righteously, "Brother Zimo, Cailian is my maid. I won't allow you to kill her."
Yang Mengqi shook his head and said to the mothers, "Let's go down!" There is nothing good here."
"Yes." The mothers spoke in unison, turned around and went down to do their own things.
In their hearts, the master is a good man, and the fault of all this is to pick lotus. It's really rude of her shouting like that. In the minds of these old women, they decided that she was an ignorant country girl. They are jealous that she can stay and serve Chu Hanlu, all because of her good fate.
Wang Qiang respectfully saluted Yang Mengqi, "Madam, Wang Qiang wishes you all the best."
Yang Mengqi carefully looked at the person in front of him and found that he was not a good person. If there is no Lin Zimo in this family, I'm afraid no one will be able to deter him.
"In the future, it's better to make less jokes like this." Before leaving, Yang Mengqi, who made Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan, said, "The slave family will go down first."
"You take them down together." Hey hey, Lin Zi said silently with a smile.
