Someone curiously asked: "Real? False? I heard that he killed many ordinary people, and many others were injured and were saved by his companions."
One of the short, fat young men said with bright eyes: "I was there at the time, and I was so scared that the baggage I was carrying was dropped. I don't know who picked it up. I was so scared that I ran away with my head in my hands. Can I really be compensated?"
"What's in your bag?"
"It's nothing. I just have a change of clothes and some dry food."
"Tch...it's just this little thing, do you still want compensation?"
The pudgy young man thought of something quickly and continued with a colorful mouth: "By the way, there are two more gold ingots and five silver ingots. Can you compensate me..."
Everyone immediately winked and said sarcastically: "Brother, what do you want to eat? I also said that I lost the baggage, and there are a hundred large gold ingots in it."
Everyone suddenly burst into laughter.
Someone really kicked the nose in the face!
Gu Yunxiao was making some calculations in his mind. The golden melon seeds obtained by Captain Song and Captain Luo were rewarded by the emperor, and most of the things in the car were rewarded by the Marquis. I wonder if they can be compensated?
The key is who to talk to about this?
Listen to everyone continue to discuss: "Who will the emperor send to implement this matter? If it is the two princes, I think this matter will be in vain."
"I know. I heard that Mr. Guo was sent to handle this matter. Of course, the compensation was paid by the two princes. The emperor also fined the two princes three years of salary and asked them to shut up for a year. I heard that Mr. Guo was sent to deal with this matter. I have arrived at the scene and are investigating."
Everyone gave a thumbs up after hearing this.
"Old Marquis Guo is a man who has never said anything. When he comes, he will definitely judge the matter impartially."
"That is, as long as he is here, it will be useless for anyone who dares to talk nonsense. The old general will not rub sand in his eyes."
Gu Yunxiao complained in his heart: After so many people died, the two princes were fined with salaries and had to sit behind closed doors to reflect on their mistakes. This punishment was too light.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, they all felt that this punishment was severe.
The privileged class in this world is terrible.
I retracted my wandering thoughts, thinking that I couldn't find the lost things. Now that Mr. Guo is here, this matter will definitely be solved.
It is true that there is no way out at the end of the road. Unexpectedly, there is another village where there is a bright future.
She went back in a good mood and told Capt. Song and Capt. Luo the good news.
After hearing this, the two people's faces suddenly turned from gloomy to clear.
They all said, "Other things are nothing. It would be great if I could make up for those two bags of golden melon seeds."
Gu Yunxiao knew that they were obsessed with golden melon seeds.
He said proudly: "Thanks to me saying wait a day, if we had left early in the morning, this good thing would have been lost."
He quickly remembered something and said, "I'll go out and ask around to see when the old Marquis will arrive so that we can go and see him."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Gu Yunxiao walked out of the house and wandered around the yard of the inn, constantly listening to all kinds of gossip.
She thought that this inn was not far from the scene, and the Marquis was cautious, so he should come over.
It was not until noon, when Gu Yunxiao felt a little sleepy, that he saw several carriages approaching the inn, accompanied by many guards on horseback.
Someone shouted: "Master Hou is here..."
Immediately, everyone rushed to tell each other and came to the door of the inn to greet the Marquis.
Gu Yunxiao ran back and told Capt. Song and Capt. Luo, who immediately ran out and walked into the yard with Gu Yunxiao.
When they came to the yard, the carriage of the Marquis and others had already walked in.
The Marquis was getting off the carriage.
The old man looked at the crowd and soon saw Gu Yunxiao and the others.
He waved to the three of them, waited for them to come over, and asked with concern: "Are you also affected by the impact?"
Gu Yunxiao then said: "Yes, Song Captou was injured. The carriage was frightened by the horses charged by those people, the carriage fell apart, the contents of the carriage were robbed, and the purse that the emperor rewarded was also lost. Fortunately, the emperor I have kept what I was given as a carry-on.”
The Marquis asked with concern: "Is Mr. Song's head seriously injured?"
Song Captou hurriedly replied: "To tell you what to say to Mr. Hou, I was stabbed in the back. After applying the medicine, I'm fine now. Thank you very much."
The Marquis said in a comforting tone: "It doesn't matter if the things are lost. Someone will compensate for it anyway. As long as you guys are safe."
Listen! These words immediately warmed their hearts.
Gu Yunxiao saw the tiredness on Mr. Hou's face and said, "Master Hou, please sit in the room first and have a cup of tea and some food before you get busy?"
The Marquis nodded slightly and said, "I have been busy at the scene for several hours, and I am really tired."
After hearing the news, Yi Cheng greeted him respectfully and said: "Master Marquis, please go to the public kitchen to rest. Food has been prepared there."
"good!"
From morning to now, Mr. Hou has been busy for several hours. He is thirsty and hungry. He comes to this inn not only to work, but also to take a rest and eat something.
When everyone saw it was noon, they rushed to the public kitchen.
There was a room in the public kitchen for entertaining distinguished guests, and the Marquis and the people around him were quickly invited in.
Gu Yunxiao and the other three were looking for a place to have a quick meal.
Then Yi Cheng came out and said to them: "Master Marquis, please come in and follow me."
Gu Yunxiao was shocked. This Yi Cheng must have come to invite them in person because of the Marquis's reputation. This shows that the Marquis valued them.
The three of them were grateful, thanked Yi Cheng, and followed him to the room where the distinguished guests were entertained.
When they walked in, they discovered the exquisite and luxurious decoration inside.
In the room were not only the Marquis and his entourage, but also several of Yi Cheng's direct subordinates.
I saw a total of two tables placed inside.
The Marquis sat at the main table.
They knew their status very well. They were the top catchers in a small county. Not to mention the Marquis, they were not even as good as the Yi Cheng.
Several people were trying to go to the next table.
The Marquis, who was sitting at the main table, immediately shouted to them: "You guys, come and sit down and tell me what you saw at that time."
They came to sit down next to the Marquis in fear.
Gu Yunxiao briefly explained what he saw at the scene.
The Marquis continued to ask: "What else?"
Gu Yunxiao thought of everyone's discussion and said, "I also heard some gossip. I wonder what the real situation is?"
"Tell me everything!"
"Some people say that King Jin's men destroyed King Qi's men because they were good at martial arts and had sharp weapons."
The Marquis narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly remembered his grandson's letter. Those men in black not only searched for wealth frantically, but also refined many sharp weapons. Who was behind this incident?
Gu Yunxiao took the opportunity to pour a cup of tea for Mr. Hou and secretly added some spiritual essence into the tea cup.
The old Marquis worked too hard, and he couldn't do anything to help him. He could only secretly help the old man adjust his body.
The Marquis had no idea that he had received great benefits just because he treated his grandson's subordinates well.
He drank a few sips of tea and felt his mind became much clearer.
He kept this in mind and said calmly: "Eat first, and after dinner, count the injured people and lost items in the inn."
Yi Cheng immediately ordered the chef to serve the food.
Soon, various exquisite dishes were served.
Gu Yunxiao thought of the food he had eaten at the inn yesterday, and then looked at what the chef had served now. The difference was huge.
Smell the aroma emanating from the dishes and your mouth will immediately be filled with saliva.
I muttered in my heart: It’s nice to have power and status.
Borrowing the help of the Marquis, the three of them had a hearty meal.
Next, the public kitchen became the yamen, and the Marquis's men kept writing down the reports.
The Marquis ordered his men to go to work separately.
Not to mention, the Marquis's men all look smart and capable, they have obviously gone through experience, and they all look mature and stable.
Gu Yunxiao suddenly felt uneasy when he thought of how much the Marquis valued them.
Observing carefully, the few braggarts in the morning have all stopped and did not expand the matter of losing three melons and two dates.
The inn is finished and the Marquis is leaving with his people.
Before leaving, he called to three people and said, "Don't leave yet. Wait one more day. I will return to the imperial city in the evening and send someone to compensate you for your losses before leaving."
Gu Yunxiao said hurriedly: "Master Hou, you can go and do other people's business. What we mean is forget about other things. Can the purses that the emperor rewarded Song Captou and Luo Capt..."
No one knows what Captain Song and Captain Luo are thinking better than her.
The Marquis comforted you: "Don't worry, the purse and its contents will be replenished for you, and other things will be replenished as well. Anyway, someone will pay the bill."
Not only did he know what he rewarded the three people, and the amount, but the steward around him also knew it.
Gu Yunxiao thought of something quickly and said diligently: "Master Marquis, if you need our help with anything, please give me your instructions."
The Marquis nodded with satisfaction and said: "No need for now, you have also been frightened, Song Captou is also injured. I have brought many people with me, you should have a good rest, we have to go on the road next."
After saying this, he hurried away with his people.
As soon as the three of them returned to the room, they saw Yi Cheng coming with someone.
He said respectfully: "I'm sorry, when you arrived yesterday evening, this was the only room left in the inn. Now that a few guests have left, I can give you another room at no additional charge. You can use it." Need not?"
It's pie in the sky, such a good thing?
They understood that they had borrowed the help of the Marquis.
Gu Yunxiao said hurriedly: "Of course, where is the room?"
Yi Cheng said respectfully: "I will take you over to have a look."
Several people followed Yi Cheng forward and soon came to a guest room.
This room is not small in size, and it also has a suite, which is fully equipped with daily necessities.
There is also a dedicated washroom.
In their minds, they invariably compare it with the place where several people live, and the proper treatment of the rich and long-term workers.
The three of them understood that if they hadn't seen the Marquis showing kindness to them.
Nor would they let them live in such a luxurious room for free.
Yi Cheng said respectfully: "I didn't know you were the Marquis's people yesterday, so I didn't treat you well, so please forgive me. In the future, when you see the Marquis, please say a few kind words for me."
Gu Yunxiao wanted to say: We are not from Mr. Hou.
I still keep these words in my heart, just a polite greeting: "Master Yi Cheng, don't worry, we will put in a good word if we have the chance."
Living in such a comfortable room for nothing, of course I have to say good things.
After Yi Cheng left, Gu Yunxiao said to the two of them: "Uncle Song is still injured, you can stay here. There is a suite here, which is suitable for you. I will go back to the original house."
Song Captou quickly thought that the other party was a little girl, shook his head and said: "Yunxiao, you should stay here, you didn't even get a good rest last night."
Gu Yunxiao smiled and said, "Uncle, there's really no need. I'm going back to rest."
Capt. Song and Capt. Luo quickly watched Gu Yunxiao run away, so they had no choice but to stay in a luxurious suite.
In fact, Gu Yunxiao didn't care about the quality of the room, as long as he had a separate place.
Song Captou was injured, and she didn't want to occupy a good room and waste resources.
She returned to the room, spread the quilt on the bed, locked the door, and went into the space to wash up and rest.
After a good night's sleep, she woke up when she heard someone knocking on the door.
Quickly leaving the space and opening the door, it turned out that Brother Luo was here to deliver breakfast.
"Yunxiao, you can really sleep. Song Captou was afraid that you would be hungry, so he asked me to bring you breakfast."
Gu Yunxiao took it and said gratefully: "Thank you!"
After she finished her meal, she heard a lot of excitement in the yard. When she looked around, it turned out that the Marquis had sent the old housekeeper to deliver something.
The most eye-catching thing is that parked in the yard is a three-horse cart.
Gu Yunxiao hurriedly walked over and said respectfully: "Uncle housekeeper, why are you here?"
"Xiao Gu, I want someone to call you. This carriage and the things inside are all compensated for you. Can you please take inventory and see if there are many things missing?"
Gu Yunxiao opened the carriage and went up to take a look, and was immediately pleasantly surprised.
Not only are the things that the Marquis rewarded the three of them with, but also the things they bought while shopping.
The most eye-catching place is also placed with three bags filled with golden melon seeds produced by the palace embroidery girl. The pattern on the purse is a golden dragon, which looks eye-catching and dazzling.
Gu Yunxiao was suddenly pleasantly surprised. Mr. Hou was so awesome that she made a lot of money!
