When this girl, who had only escaped the disaster thanks to God's blessing, climbed out of the ruins. Looking at the once poor but warm home, it has turned into piles of ruins. My parents, brothers, and fellow villagers were all reduced to ashes. In his eyes, the former beauty no longer disappeared, replaced only by hatred and emptiness.
Facing her destroyed home and the corpses of her murdered relatives, she did not leave. Instead, he sat quietly in front of his home that had become a ruin, looking at the bones of his relatives without moving for a long time. It took a long time before he found a hoe and dug a big hole regardless of his body's weakness.
Little by little, he put the burned remains of his parents and all the villagers into the pit, and then buried them again. After doing all this, she knelt quietly in front of the flesh mound grave. The tragedy that happened in this small mountain village was not discovered until several months later because the village was so remote.
No one knows the whereabouts of the only surviving girl. Perhaps they had already starved to death, froze to death, or were buried in the belly of a wolf. After all, the following winter was the coldest since the founding of Daqi. No one believed that a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old orphan girl whose home was completely destroyed and had no one to rely on could survive in that bitter cold weather.
Although no one has ever found the girl's body. No one really knows what happened to this mountain village. The destruction of a mountain village, for those who instigated it, this massacre was nothing more than an indulgence. But for that mountain village that had already suffered destruction, dozens of families had completely disappeared.
After venting all his anger on the innocent villagers and destroying a once peaceful mountain village, the King of Shu spent hundreds of lives to feel a little calmer. At this time, he had returned to his own camp, so naturally he didn't know that there was a survivor in that mountain village. After returning to his home, he stood quietly in the study, saying nothing in front of a painting and calligraphy.
After a long time, he turned to Lu Wentao behind him and said: "Sir, don't stay here any longer. Go to Zhengzhou immediately to take charge of the important events. As for me, I will go to Beijing as discussed in the morning. Until now, I have not had my last breath. The capital of the fight. As long as Princess Jing does not come to Beijing, I will not be completely defeated."
"No matter what method you use, my king, even if you personally take action, I will never allow my ninth brother and Prince Jing's family members to enter the capital alive. As for what you do, I don't care about the process. , all I want is the result. Even if I fight to the death, I will never watch that bitch step on my head."
After the King of Shu finished speaking, Lu Wentao looked at his livid face, said nothing, and turned around respectfully to leave. After Lu Wentao left, the King of Shu did not look back but said: "You don't have to follow me back to the capital, and follow him quietly with the secret guard Zuoying. After the incident in Zhengzhou, together with the masters from Tubo and Dali, Get rid of it, remember to do it cleanly.”
After King Shu finished speaking, a man in black walked out of another room in his study. Facing the uncertain face at this time, King Shu cupped his hands and said: "Please rest assured, master, I will do it now. This time, I will never let my master down again. If this Lu Wentao fails, I will personally take action." Deal with the King of England and King Jing’s family.”
After everyone left, the King of Shu returned to his bedroom. Looking at the two women on the bed, their whole bodies had been ravaged by him to a state of disgrace. He didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hands and grabbed the two women's throats fiercely. He didn't let go of his hand until the two girls stopped struggling. At this time, nothing could be seen in King Shu's eyes except scarlet.
Huang Qiong, who was far away in Zhengzhou at this time, naturally didn't know what happened in Ruzhou. In the past few days, after the knot with Lin Hanyan was opened, he was accompanied by the three women tenderly at night, and often secretly went to Lin Hanyan and Li Xiu's place, which made him live an unusually comfortable life. Especially when He Yao and Lin Hanyan let go, Huang Qiong enjoyed the unexpected tenderness between the sheets.
Especially between the bed and the bed, Lin Hanyan was really unable to resist Huang Qiong. He simply dragged the He sisters and even the two close and affectionate maids in to become Huang Qiong's maids. Almost every time Huang Qiong went there, Huang Qiong was given a different surprise. Although he considers himself not a lecherous person, Huang Qiong can't refuse such a good thing, right?
But when others were accompanying Huang Qiong, Lin Hanyan just sat aside and watched quietly. Even if he was emotional, he would never participate. Except for Li Xiu, she never slept with any other woman in the same bed as Huang Qiong. Lin Hanyan is quite insistent on this point. In order to respect her, Huang Qiong never forced herself.
During this period of time, Huang Qiong's life was not an ordinary spring breeze. As for the aftermath of Zhengzhou, with the advancement of Su Jin and Jian Yong, the progress is relatively smooth. With this giant Buddha around, the dignitaries in the court and other clans who were concerned about the land left by King Jing did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Away from the chaos in the court and his own father's schemes, Huang Qiong often even felt like he did not miss Shu. The Xiaoqi Battalion cannot be stationed in Zhengzhou for a long time, as the Zhengzhou Guards are reorganized. In addition to leaving three thousand troops and horses for Huang Qiong as a personal guard in accordance with the emperor's wishes, the rest of the Xiaoqi camp had received the imperial edict to return to Jingzhao.
On the day when Xiaoqiying returned to Beijing, Huang Qiong took Su Jin and Jian Yong to the east gate of Zhengzhou to see them off. After entering the Xiaoqi camp, it was not until the end of the rebellion in Zhengzhou that the Xiaoqi camp received the imperial edict to return to Beijing. Huang Qiong has established good relationships with the generals at all levels of the Xiaoqi camp. Especially deputy envoy Guo Chen, Huang Qiong looked at him with special eyes. Now that Xiaoqiying returned to Beijing, Huang Qiong naturally wanted to see him off.
What followed Xiaoqiying back to the capital was the huge wealth copied from Prince Jing's Mansion and the homes of those rebellious officials. There are enough gold and silver ingots, which are not used as currency in circulation at the moment, but are used as valuable property, to fill hundreds of carts. As for the amount of money made, it is not too much, only a few large cars.
However, Wuwei Bank's large banknotes worth more than 10,000 yuan, as well as land deeds from various places, filled two large carriages. In Jian Yong's words, these properties can basically cover the imperial court's annual income for at least two years. The ten thousand ingots of gold and hundreds of thousands of silver ingots alone were more than enough for the imperial court to make a year's income.
Even the emperor's inner treasury probably does not have so much gold and silver. With this money, the emperor suddenly became much richer. Looking at the back of Xiaoqiying who was escorting such a large sum of gold and silver back to Beijing. Regarding Jian Yong's evaluation, Huang Qiong shook his head and said nothing. In fact, he had nothing to say.
It has only been a few years since Zhengzhou was upgraded from Henan Road to Zhili Prefecture. My second brother has only been a feudal lord for a few years, which seems to be less than ten years. To actually amass such a huge wealth, how many people will have their families destroyed? These are the true blessings of the people. Just as Lin Hanyan said, all this money is hot to use.
What Huang Qiong knows better is that these are not all the properties that were seized. This does not include the 350,000 yuan that he left privately for Lin Hanyan, and the 150,000 yuan that he left for Li Xiu in private. Although the money is not much, it adds up to half a million yuan.
In addition, he left a sum of property to his second brother, the woman who was famous or not, but who left a son for his second brother, and the children they gave birth to. All of these, added together, amount to 17.8 million coins. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly in his heart.
What Huang Qiong knows better is that these are probably only part of the property of Prince Jing's Mansion, or the property that can be obtained on the surface. The confidant next to his second brother who really controls the financial resources can only have more money than this, and definitely not less than this. Even if he had not made a mistake in his judgment, he would not have any land that was not easily liquidated in his property.
He didn't know what kind of impression he, the virtuous king who was known as the most compassionate king in the court, would have among the people if this matter spread. But even though I know that my emperor, I will not let my nephews and nieces become poor. But no matter what Huang Qiong said, maybe she felt a little sorry for her second brother because she robbed someone else's wife.
But his second brother has now gone to the Western Paradise. I want to compensate myself, but I have no place to compensate, so I can only leave some property to my nephews and nieces as a disguised compensation. Although gold and silver are more expensive, after all, they are not commonly circulated in the market, and they cost a lot of time and cost.
So all Huang Qiong left for them were large banknotes from Wuwei Bank. However, in order to prevent some bad things from spreading, Huang Qiong gave all these banknotes to Lin Hanyan. It's up to her to decide when or how the money should be distributed. With more money comes more trouble. No matter what, Lin Hanyan is still the head steward and concubine of Prince Jing's Mansion.
Having your own backing can also shock those who have different aspirations. How to divide this money is better left to Lin Hanyan. Moreover, Lin Hanyan is very fair in dealing with things. He handles all kinds of affairs in the house on weekdays, at least he can be regarded as a bowl of water. Distributed by Lin Hanyan, at least some people dare not prick. Although Lin Hanyan repeatedly stated that she didn't want it, Huang Qiong was not willing to leave any body for her.
As for the eldest son of King Jing, Huang Qiong did not leave him any money alone. In addition to leaving 100,000 guan with his mother, he also gave 40% of the proceeds from the 2,000 hectares of the original 8,000 hectares of King Jing's fiefdom awarded to him by the emperor's decree to the mother and son. The remaining half was assigned to the names of King Jing's other children.
Huang Qiong was very concerned about the placement of King Jing's remaining children, and the emperor finally acquiesced to Huang Qiong's suggestion. However, of the 8,000 hectares of fiefdom first allocated to King Jing, the emperor only allocated 2,000 hectares. Huang Qiongfa returned the rest to the original owner. Two thousand hectares of land was the standard reward for county officials in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Perhaps in the emperor's opinion, these two thousand hectares of land were enough.
However, Huang Qiong had guessed what his old man's intentions were as early as the day he received the imperial edict. Now that the rebellion of the two kings was at the forefront, he naturally couldn't decide what reward to give to the son of the second king. Even if the title is given to a Fengguo general, it will easily cause great criticism.
Although the Tian family doesn't pay much attention to the implication, they still have to kill one person to serve as a warning to others. The two sons who rebelled against the king were not punished after returning to the capital, and they were even awarded titles. Even if it is a purely empty title like General Fengguo, I am afraid that most princes and even the clan will not agree. I'm afraid even some high-ranking ministers in the court would not agree with the emperor's outcome.
