Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 137 Reward 2.0

Song Jue felt that it must be because God thought that he was too idle, so that he would do things like coaxing the commander-in-chief of the army to run out of Xijing to play, so he showed kindness and caused so much trouble for him, otherwise, he would not be at all. There is no way to explain why so many things happened one after another after he returned to Beijing and the palace.Although these troubles are far from reaching the level that makes him burnt out, but one more thing is worse than one less thing. Isn't it time to have fun during the Chinese New Year!

Song Jue's depressed mood reached its peak at the moment when he received the news about the robbing and killing of the Jin Kingdom's mission from Jiaping Pass City. They are all filled with an atmosphere called "decline". Not only is the country not peaceful, but also encountered floods and heavy rains that have not been seen in many years, and even sent a mission to be robbed and killed on the way. It is really decayed to the extreme.

Because he received this news that made him very unhappy, Song Jue's expression was gloomy for two or three days in a row. Except for Eunuch Pan, who was serving him personally, all the maids and eunuchs were cautious, wishing to hide from Song Jue. Jue, so as not to suffer disaster.However, Song Jue didn't stay in this state for too long. Just when he was thinking about what to do, the news that the murder case of the Jin Guo Mission was solved was placed on his dragon case. The case record, as well as all the statements of all those present and their signatures.

After Song Jue finished reading this secret booklet, he immediately felt extremely relieved, even more refreshing than eating a big bowl of ice in the dog days.He took the secret booklet and looked it inside and out many times, and felt that his tea was really powerful. He solved the case in one night and caught the real culprit. Not only did he expose the relationship between Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyanxi Conspiracy, helped the Liao Kingdom to clear up its grievances, and made the Liao Kingdom owe such a big favor... No, it should be kindness, this kindness is amazing, just like what Eunuch Pan said, with this kindness , the Liao people cannot attack them at will, otherwise, some people will say that they are ungrateful figures.Yeluertu is such a face-saving person, he will never allow his reputation to be lost.

Before Song Jue could finish his joy, Jiaping Guancheng sent another secret letter. Although the content inside made him a little worried, but if he took precautions properly, Liao would owe Daxia another favor.A case of robbery and murder of the mission of the Kingdom of Jin caused Liao Qianqian to owe them two great favors. What my father didn't do, was actually realized in the hands of a fool like him.

"Pan Pan, I must reward you!"

After Song Jue's excitement calmed down, he felt that Jiaping Guancheng should be rewarded properly. For such a great contribution, not rewarding the hero would hurt the heart of the hero, especially his tea heart.However, this case is still in a state of secrecy. The secret letters and secret documents sent by Shen Haolin and Shen Cha all emphasized one thing, that is, the killing of the Jin Kingdom mission must be kept secret. At least Liao and Xia couldn't say it before Jin Guo himself said it.Moreover, the Kingdom of Jin will definitely not expose this secret during the Chinese New Year and when the missions from various countries are in Xijing. They will only say that because of their own problems, they cannot send missions to congratulate them.

For this reason, it is unrealistic to award Jiaping Guancheng alone, and other people will find it very inexplicable, and it will easily cause unnecessary troubles to the Zhen Guogong Mansion and Wudinghou Mansion.

So, Song Jue thought about it, because of the escape of the third son of Prince Yihe's mansion, all the border gates in the north have helped find someone, and he should have something to say, so, simply, all the gates in the north will reward, It's just that Jiaping Guancheng has more rewards.

"Pan Pan, please take a trip to Jiaping Pass!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Eunuch Pan has been with Song Jue for many years. It can be said that he watched Song Jue grow up. He experienced many things with him, all kinds of joys and sorrows. He even suffered a lot of injuries for Song Jue. Therefore, Song Jue trusted him very much.

The reason why he asked Eunuch Pan to go to Jiaping Guancheng was actually a little selfish. He wanted Eunuch Pan to transfer some things to Shen Cha in private.

Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Eunuch Pan didn't think there was anything wrong with being sent by His Majesty to a place as far away as Jiapingguan City. He hadn't seen the young masters and young ladies of the Duke of Zhen's Mansion and Marquis of Wuding's Mansion for a long time. , It’s also strange to miss, and, I heard that the old guy Qin Zheng also went to Jiaping Guancheng to celebrate the New Year, and it happened that the old brothers gathered together for a meal.

So, Eunuch Pan quickly packed up his things and set off from Xijing with a hundred soldiers of the Imperial Army and twenty carriages.It happened to be New Year's Eve when they arrived at Jiaping Pass.

Hearing that Eunuch Pan personally escorted the reward to Jiaping Guancheng, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian were all stunned. The first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible, but Ying Wu is not the kind of boring person who uses such words to tease them. , Therefore, several people quickly tidied up, and quickly ran to Zhen Guogong's mansion, and at the same time sent someone to notify Qin Zheng, Yan Bo, Song Qiyun, Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu to come to the gate of the mansion as soon as possible.

After sweeping the ground solemnly, he opened the middle door of Duke Zhen's mansion, and everyone saw the smiling Eunuch Pan standing at the door.

"This servant has seen the Duke, Lord Hou, and Miss!"

Eunuch Pan saluted Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian, and Shen Cha, and the three hurriedly returned the salute. Eunuch Pan is a man of great merit, and they dare not accept his salute.

"Eunuch Pan has worked hard all the way. Please wait a little longer. Deputy Commander Qin and the two county princes will be here soon." Shen Haolin hurriedly asked someone to bring a chair for Eunuch Pan. It was snowing heavily and he rode from Xijing Running to the border is simply suffering. Eunuch Pan is not young, and it will be troublesome if the old man is exhausted.

"Grandpa, the slaves are not so delicate yet. When the slaves were young, they used to fight with the old master." Eunuch Pan looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian with a smile, "Seeing that all of you All right, this servant will let go." He looked at Shen Cha, "The news of the eldest lady's assassination has frightened this servant, you should be more careful in the future, don't try to be arrogant."

"Thank you, Eunuch, I'll remember it!" Shen Cha nodded, and stuffed a cup of ginger soup into Eunuch Pan's hand, "Keep the cold out, this journey has been too much."

"Miss has a heart!"

Eunuch Pan found that not only did he have ginger soup, but also the hundred soldiers of the Imperial Army. Different status will be treated differently, every time they do it will make people feel very heartwarming and moving.

After Eunuch Pan finished drinking a cup of ginger soup, all the people arrived. Uncle Yan quickly set up the prepared incense table. Qin Zheng, Shen Haolin, and Xue Ruitian led everyone in the mansion to kneel down to receive the decree. Eunuch Pan read out the imperial decree , was invited into the main hall of the Duke's Mansion by everyone.

Yan Bo commanded the imperial army to move all the boxes on the carriage to the warehouse in the front yard, and took a checklist to count them one by one.

In the reward, there are ten boxes of gold and ten boxes of silver, each with 10,000 taels. There are [-] varieties of plain and colorful silk cloth made by the imperial palace, each with ten horses, and a large box of jewelry. Ten sets, the imperial decree specified that this box of jewelry was for Shen Cha, Yan Bo summoned Mei Lin, and handed over this large box of jewelry to Shen Cha's private treasury.

In addition to these, there are five full boxes of court pastries and sweets, a total of sixty kinds of pastries, each containing ten small boxes, and each small box contains six pieces of pastries.There are also five small boxes for the specially made candy in the palace. According to the list, there are 25 kinds in total, each with a hundred pieces.

Yan Bo ordered to send all these palace snacks and sweets to the warm pavilion. He believed that Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian would definitely keep a small part, and the rest would be given away.

After counting the last five boxes, Yan Bo was very helpless. He felt that His Majesty must have searched all the tonics from the Queen Mother's palace. Looking at the things inside, they were all used by the elderly and old ladies for health preservation. Yes, it is not suitable for young people to eat at all, and it is not suitable for people who are not very fit like their eldest lady.

After counting all the rewards and settling down the brothers of the imperial army, Yan Bo walked into the main hall with the list, handed the list to Shen Haolin, and then sat beside Qin Zheng.

"Young Master Yan, long time no see!" Eunuch Pan looked at Uncle Yan, "You look very energetic, and you are living a good life!"

"It's really good!" Yan Bo nodded, took a sip from his teacup, and glanced at the big cloth bag that Eunuch Pan put at his feet, "What is that?"

"It is the flower seed that His Majesty promised to give to Jin Junshi, and the old prince of Yihe kindly provided it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jin Jing saluted, took the big cloth bag, and flipped through the contents happily.

"Eunuch Pan, it's New Year's Eve today, why don't you celebrate the New Year with us? You haven't seen Uncle Qin and Uncle Yan for so many years. The old brothers need to catch up on the past, at least after the New Year's Eve Go back to Beijing again?" Shen Haolin looked at Eunuch Pan, "If we make you travel even during the Chinese New Year, His Majesty will definitely blame you."

"What brother said is true!" Shen Cha also said, "The snow outside is so heavy, the road is not easy to walk, at least we have to wait for the snow to be a little lighter."

"Thank you, Duke and Miss, for your kindness, but I have told His Majesty before leaving Beijing that I must return to Beijing before the fifth day of the lunar new year. The princess's ceremony must be handled by my servant from the beginning to the end. So , I'm really sorry, please forgive me, the Duke and Missy."

"But..." Shen Cha frowned slightly, looked at Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu, and asked them to help persuade him.

"Miss!" Eunuch Pan smiled when he saw Shen Cha winking at the two county princes, "Don't bother, we'll leave after lunch."

"Little Cha!" Qin Zheng waved his hand at Shen Cha, "This old guy has a stubborn temper. A hundred horses can't move the things he decides. Let him do whatever he wants! Prepare more delicious food, It doesn't matter if he eats or not, just don't let those one hundred brothers in the Imperial Army be wronged."

Eunuch Pan: "..."

Qin Zheng is an old thing, the older he gets, the more annoying he becomes!
