Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1137 The Return of the Soul
Sitting high in the post hall, Li Qinzai ordered someone to hold a banquet.

The fishermen and their families were overwhelmed with gratitude. When the food was served, the fishermen found out that there was only food and water, but no wine.

Li Qinzai picked up a glass of clear water, looked at the family members of the deceased, and said in a deep voice: "Your husbands or sons died because of me, and they are still in the filial piety period. Drinking alcohol is disrespectful to the deceased. Only prepare a thin glass of water as a way of respecting the deceased. The generation of righteousness."

The family members stood up one after another and saluted with tears in their eyes.

Li Qinzai took a sip of clear water and sighed secretly.

Those who died in battle because of him, their responsibilities during their lifetime should be taken care of by themselves.

The atmosphere of the banquet was a bit dull. After an hour, the banquet ended, and Li Qinzai and his wife sent everyone out of the post gate.

Li Qinzai then discussed with Cui Jie that the livelihood of the fishermen and the family members of the deceased would be borne by the Li family from now on, buying land and building houses outside Dengzhou city for them, and building new boats for them if fishing was inseparable. etc.

Cui Jie understood and immediately went to do it herself.

The next day, Li Qinzai got up very early, Cui Jie pushed the wheelchair, and the couple went out with their disciples and parts.

Today's destination is a remote village outside Dengzhou City.

There is Zheng Sanlang's hometown.

After driving for half a day, I came to a village that looked very poor. The houses in the village were small, and there were few people in it, and the labor force of the middle-aged was even rarer.

All the way to Zheng Sanlang's home, Zheng Sanlang's parents are all there, and there is an elder brother.

Zheng Sanlang had great strength, but he also had a big appetite. The few acres of Susukida in his family could not support him, so he was asked to find a job by himself in Dengzhou City, which also made Li Qinzai and Zheng Sanlang acquainted.

After being carried off the carriage by Buqu, in front of the dilapidated and simple house, Zheng Sanlang's parents and elder brother looked at him nervously.

Li Qinzai told them with tears that Zheng Sanlang had died for his country, and his body was buried outside Goguryeo Black Bone City, and only a few clothes from his lifetime were brought back.

After the parents and elder brother were shocked, they knelt down and cried.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Li Qinzai lowered his head and sighed sadly.

On an unknown green hill outside Zhuangzi, a clothes tomb was built. Zheng Sanlang's name was engraved on the stone tablet. Not only his parents and elder brothers signed the name, but also a line of small characters.

"The man who owes his life, Tang, Li Qinzai, the Duke of Weinan County, respects him."

White flags and flags stand in a row on the grave, and the trilogy are separated in various directions, waving the soul-calling flags in their hands, Li Qinzai and Cui Jie are kneeling in the middle, and behind him is the blood-stained handsome Zheng Sanlang who refuses to let go even if he dies. flag.

The handsome flag is fluttering, waving in the wind.

The trilogy were waving their flags and shouting.

"The heroic spirit is not far away, and the soul is back!"

Li Qinzai closed his eyes, and seemed to see Zheng Sanlang's simple and honest face again in his mind.

Zheng Sanlang said, Li Shuai, are you in charge of the meal?
Zheng Sanlang said, Li Shuai, Mr. Feng said, the Shuai flag cannot fall.

Zheng Sanlang also said, Shuai Li, I'm so cold...

Unknowingly, Li Qinzai's tears meandered down, but he muttered with a smile: "This idiot..."

…………

After bidding farewell to Zheng Sanlang's parents and elder brother, Li Qinzai and Cui Jie also left enough money for his family.

From the moment he returned to Datang, Li Qinzai suddenly felt that he had a lot of debts to pay.

Li Qinzai is obliged to help them take over the responsibilities of Paoze who died in the battle, their aftermath, and the responsibilities they cannot bear, so that their families can continue to live.

The court's pension is another matter, Li Qinzai just wants to express his heart.

On the carriage back to Dengzhou City, Li Qinzai asked, "About how much money has our family saved?"

Cui Jie silently calculated, and said: "The concubines of the Duke's Mansion don't interfere, they only talk about the accounts of Ganjingzhuang Bieyuan. Over the past few years, they have saved more than 4 yuan, all of which are for the sale of beauty creams. The family and the Duke's Mansion each share the profits, as does the ice cube business with the Xu family."

Li Qinzai nodded in thought.

Cui Jie said again: "By the way, when my husband went out to fight, people from Xue's family came and sent several batches of money. The amount was not small. There were four times in half a year, and each time it was at least tens of thousands. The Xue family said that my husband and Xue Na were there. The Wa Kingdom has done business and split the accounts."

"My husband is away at war, and my concubine has trouble communicating. I don't know what happened. I accepted the money sent by Xue's family, but I didn't dare to move it, so I ordered the parts to be sent to the warehouse of the other courtyard of Ganjingzhuang to be sealed."

Li Qinzai smiled with satisfaction, this woman is really good at housekeeping, she is very shrewd.

"Jie'er, after returning to Chang'an, the family needs to pay a sum of money, which is not small."

Cui Jie seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and said with a smile, "Does your husband want to subsidize the families of those who died in battle?"

Li Qinzai nodded: "Aside from other things, I can't subsidize all the robes that died on the Goguryeo battlefield. It's the court's business. If I do it, I will be taboo."

"But in the battle outside the Black Bone City, the five thousand soldiers were almost wiped out, and only more than 100 people were left alive. It was the most tragic battle in the Eastern Expedition, and it was also a battle I personally participated in. Nearly five thousand soldiers died in the battle. Pasawa, it is my responsibility to take care of their families."

Cui Jie held his hand and said softly: "This is what a human being should do, I will not object, and I am even more fortunate to have married such a loving and righteous man as my husband."

"Husband, please instruct Buqu to organize the name and hometown of Paozhe who died in battle. After returning to Chang'an, I will allocate all the money in the warehouse of Ganjingzhuang and distribute it equally to the family members of Paozhe who died in war. loved ones suffer again."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Madam understands righteousness, it is my good fortune to marry you."

Cui Jie glanced at him with resentment and joy, and quietly said: "My husband is really blessed. I heard from Luye Zanliang that my husband met another goddess doctor in Goguryeo? He also asked her to give up after the war. Returning to Chang'an with grandpa, and being hired by our Li family as an enshrinement?"

Li Qinzai laughed: "It is true that I met a goddess doctor, but there are no such vulgar things between men and women. She saved my grandfather's life and mine. When she comes to Chang'an, Madam should treat her with courtesy."

"She saved the lives of the grandparents and grandchildren of the Li family. Madam, don't be rude, let alone eat vinegar. I'm not an animal. I can't just see a woman and try to hurt her."

Cui Jie blushed, and then sighed: "That goddess doctor saved my grandfather and husband, of course I have to treat each other with great courtesy, grandpa and husband are really destined not to die, if it weren't for this goddess doctor, today's country I'm afraid that in the palace..."

Cui Jie couldn't bear to go on, but Li Qinzai smiled: "I'm afraid we will set up white flags and build a mourning hall. Count the days, my grandpa and I have already passed the first seven days, you can only go to the graves of our grandparents and grandchildren to worship next year." ...Of course, I can't stop you from dancing."

Cui Jie was so angry that she pinched him hard, and said angrily: "Don't say such bad words, what about life and death, from now on our family will live in peace, grandpa can live to be a hundred years old, husband should live at least to ninety."

"I'm working hard to keep breathing until I'm 90 years old..." Li Qinzai laughed.

Looking at the scenery receding outside the car, the sky is already cool in autumn, and everything is gradually bleak.

Li Qinzai murmured: "It's time to go back to Chang'an."

Cui Jie held his hand and said softly, "It's time to go home."
