Chapter 19 Arbitration
Gold and silver were rewarded on the third day, but there was only one catty of gold and five catties of silver.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the economy was hit hard, private money was everywhere, and the currency depreciated.

And precious metals like gold, silver and copper continue to grow in value.

Therefore, gold and silver are directly rewarded.

The money was obtained by Yang Zheng in exchange for his life, and he didn't expect that it would be deducted layer by layer.

Yang Zheng of the Wu and Shu kingdoms didn't know about it, but in the memory of the original owner, since Emperor Ming's extravagance, corruption and corruption have become common throughout the Wei kingdom.

Needless to say Deng Yang and Ding Mi, even Xia Houxuan, who was quite a celebrity, also received a lot when he was serving as the Central Guard.

Five catties of gold, four catties were taken away, and thirty catties of silver left only five catties...

It's just sucking the bones out of the marrow.

The more Yang Zheng thought about it, the more furious he became, and he still couldn't swallow this breath.

It's normal for Yan Guo to pluck hair, and I didn't expect how clean this era would be, but it's unreasonable to pluck so hard.

So they called Linghu Sheng, Zhang Te, and Zhou Yu to discuss.

"In the past, half was deducted from the top. Since the general appointed Ding Mi, He Yan and Deng Yang, life in the Chinese army has been difficult." Zhou Yu looked mature, and a man in his 20s looked like he was in his forties.

"Gold and silver are rewards from the state, who is so bold?" Zhang Te said.

Both of them were from common people, so naturally they don't know the muddy water inside.

Linghusheng glanced at Yang Zheng, "This is a common practice, the general should make a big deal a small one."

Money has been hacked, don't you even have the right to know?

Four catties of gold and 25 catties of silver is a huge sum of money in this era.

Can do many things.

Yang Zheng looked depressed.

Could it be Guo Huai?
Cao Shuang was rich and powerful, and he didn't think much of these three melons and two dates. Deng Yang had a possibility, but the gold and silver shipped from Luoyang never passed through his hands.

The two had already run away.

If it was really Guo Huai, Yang Zheng had nothing to do.

It's too late to hide from him now, how dare you go to him?

"The general might as well go to the governor!" Zhou Yu reminded.

Yang Zheng's eyes lit up. Xia Houxuan was one of the few people in the Cao family who understood. It was thanks to Xia Houxuan that he was able to survive Guo Huai's hands last time.

This time he was promoted to the general of the trilogy, and he should also be favored by him.

Xia Houxuan is a truly reliable person.

Cao Shuang was really stretching his hips, spending time with Deng Yang every day, so Yang Zheng sometimes couldn't help but complain that the relationship between the two was not normal.

And after being promoted to the governor of a trilogy, you can recommend a hundred generals.

It was Yang Zheng's chance to win people's hearts.

Linghusheng has been through life and death all the way, and his martial arts, brains, and knowledge are all outstanding. He knows all kinds of interests and interests in the army, which is really a great help to him.

Both Zhang Te and Zhou Yu are also gentlemen, not as good as Linghu Sheng, but they are also good fighters on the battlefield, and their martial arts are not weak.

Zhang Te was brave and fearless, and Zhou Yu shot a hundred shots with one hand.

The key is that there are only these few people available around me now, and the others don't know the details, and their minds are not in the same place.

I think Zhao Deng and Wang Xi fought bloody battles with themselves and the Shu army, but they couldn't get together after all.

"I am going to recommend the three of you to the governor as generals of a hundred men."

Excitement immediately rose in the eyes of the three people.

No one in this day and age can resist this temptation.

"Thank you, General!" The three bowed their hands together.

Yang Zheng helped the three of them up one by one, and originally wanted to say some ambitious words, but some words seemed artificial.

Wugong is a small town.

Most of the people in the city had fled long ago, disabled soldiers were everywhere on the streets, and there was a rotten smell everywhere.

Not to mention looking after, there is no food.

As if forgotten.

No one looked at the dead bodies, and blowflies were flying everywhere in the June weather.

Occasionally, there would be Yongliang soldiers patrolling the streets, who would wantonly beat the wounded soldiers with whips, and then laughed out loud...

Most of the good mood when I went out suddenly disappeared.

I wondered if I was seriously injured, would it be the same?

Human life in troubled times is really worthless.

With a lot of thoughts in my heart, I walked to Xia Houxuan's mansion without knowing it.

Although it is a temporary residence, the blue tiles of the high gate of the mansion are obviously also the residence of a wealthy family.

The surrounding area was spotless, and there were not a single wounded soldier.

Seven or eight Chinese soldiers lined up at the door holding spears.

The majesty of General Zhengxi is really extraordinary.

Yang Zheng cupped his hands towards the high gate, "The general Yang Zheng pays a visit to Commander Xiahou."

The soldiers recognized Yang Zheng, and there was a little kindness in their expressions.

Not long after, a person came out of the door, wearing a green shirt with a turban scarf and long sleeves, "Master, please come in."

Yang Zheng, the third-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, did not dare to neglect, and bowed and handed over, "Thank you."

As expected of being a disciple of a celebrity, the disciples are polite and courteous from beginning to end, making people feel like a spring breeze.

For the first time in so many days, Yang Zheng felt that he was being treated as a human being.

Thinking of Pang Hui, Guo Huai, and Deng Yang, they either cheated themselves or killed themselves.

Even Cao Shuang was speechless.

"This subordinate pays his respects to the governor." Yang Zheng half-knelt and saluted Xia Houxuan in the lobby.

Celebrities will always be celebrities.

Any ordinary clothes would look glamorous on him.

Yang Zheng suddenly felt ashamed of himself.

"There's no need to be too polite." Xia Houxuan waved his servants back and looked at Yang Zheng fixedly.

This made all the polite words he had been brewing for a long time stuck in his throat.

With Xia Houxuan's character, going around would make him bored, so it's better to go straight.

Some people can play with their eyes, but some people have to be honest.

"Thank you for the promotion of the governor, and my subordinates will remember Wu Nei!"

Xia Houxuan's eyes became more complicated, "You don't have to thank me, I didn't promote you."

"What?" Yang Zheng was extremely surprised.

It's not him, and it doesn't look like Cao Shuang, so who could it be?

Now that Cao Shuang can't protect himself, how can he think of himself?

Guo Huai?
Even more impossible, remembering that day at the gate of the city, Guo Huai definitely had the intention of beheading himself.

"Don't think about it too much, those who are loyal to the country will be rewarded, and the court will make its own judgment!" Xia Houxuan said.

Arbitration?

Pang Hui escaped from death and fought the Shu army several times. He was defeated that day because he blocked the east. Although he escaped in the end, it was also due to the situation at that time.

The imperial court did not express anything, and Guo Huai used it as a model, reprimanded it in full view, and manipulated it at will.

If you have no family background and no one is covering you, who will reward you?

People are everywhere these days with their heads in their hands, so why reward you?

Yang Zheng felt that he had fallen into a huge mystery.

There is no free lunch.

If you don't figure out the stakes, you might get involved in life and death at some point.

Those who bear the benefits must bear the harm.

Yang Zheng suddenly remembered the figure deep in his memory.

I always feel like I've forgotten something important.

The more I think about it, the more I get a headache, like a needle prick.

Xia Houxuan coughed softly, and brought Yang Zheng back to reality, "With your merits, the court's reward is fair."

It’s okay not to mention this, but Yang Zheng became angry when he mentioned it, “I will report to the governor, the gold and silver rewards from the court are only on May [-]st.”

Xia Houxuan was taken aback, "Is there such a thing?"

"Subordinates dare not lie to the governor!"

The astonishment on Xia Houxuan's face only lasted for two or three breaths, and quickly faded away. He paced back and forth in the hall for two steps, "Let's leave this matter at that. You must keep quiet, Shiyi, and take five catties of gold."

"Captain, my subordinates have no such intentions." Yang Zheng quickly refused.

Xia Houxuan didn't allow Yang Zheng to refuse, "There are some things that you just need to know."

Yang Zheng couldn't believe that this sentence came from Xia Houxuan's mouth.

The matter has come to this point, and I dare not disobey, "This subordinate obeys orders."
