Chapter 276 0273 [Send off the bride]

After getting off the boat, Cai You first placed Zhao Fujin and his daughters on the carriage, and then sent someone to the county town to invite Li Bangyan.

He was timid and did not dare to go to the Qingzhou bandit's military camp alone, so he had to drag Li Bangyan along with him.

Not long after, Li Bangyan came reluctantly.

Cai You smiled all over his face: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Li for this great achievement. Your Majesty will definitely reward you after you return to Beijing."

The two of them share similar odors and are political allies, so their relationship is quite close.

As for his father Cai Jing, on the surface he wanted to help him regain his appearance, but in fact he was unwilling in his heart.

The reason is very simple. Why did Song Huizong support him?

Isn't it just to fill the vacancy left after his father Cai Jing resigned as prime minister, and to maintain the connection with Cai Jing through his bond.

If Cai Jing returns to the prime minister, he will definitely be kicked into the corner.

Because His Majesty does not allow father and son to hold power at the same time.

After experiencing the taste of power, how could Cai You be willing to let go easily?

The old man is already dying, his ears can't hear, his eyes can't see. He honestly thinks it's so good to live at home for the rest of his life, so he has to go out and mess around.

Li Bangyan urged: "Let's go, go early and come back early. I don't want to stay in Jiyin County for more than a day."

"Alright."

Cai You thought so too.

Therefore, Li Bangyan did not even meet Zhao Fujin, but directly led the escort team to the military camp ten miles away.

……

In the military camp, Han Zhen was giving rewards to the soldiers.

He never delays in distributing rewards, which is also the favorite thing among the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army.

The soldiers bragged and spanked in private, and talked about all kinds of things, but no one said anything about the reward.

Han Zhen is really not short of copper coins now.

Half of the 3000 million yuan dowry given by the Ma family was left. In addition, they attacked the city and occupied the land in Shandong, confiscating the family assets of countless officials and some wealthy families.

Two to three hundred thousand guan here, three and a half million guan there, it's not much to carry alone, but when added up, even Han Zhen couldn't help but be surprised.

Including fields, shops and mansions, the total assets are as high as more than 800 million yuan!

Wu Ji came to the corner dragging a large bag of copper coins and counted them one by one.

Because of his bravery in battle, six levels of beheadings, and the achievement of being the first to reach the city, he received a large reward even though it was only a small county town.

A total of 52 coins were awarded.

The price you pay for this is a little finger on your left hand.

Fortunately, it's just a little finger, so it won't affect combat. If it were a big thumb, it would be over. You can't be a soldier or do farm work.

In Wu Ji's opinion, as long as a man is not missing arms or legs, he is still a good man.

52 coins was too much money, and he was not good at arithmetic. He made a mistake in counting and had to start over.

Hu Zhong held a piece of straw in his mouth and sat aside to watch the excitement. After watching it for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore. He curled his lips and said, "Don't count anymore. The county magistrate will not miss you a penny when giving out money."

Wu Ji replied without raising his head: "I believe in the county magistrate, but I don't believe in the secretaries."

Hearing this, Hu Zhong couldn't help but smile and said: "Then you should rest assured. The county magistrate has set a rule. If the reward money is short, the secretaries will have to pay ten times the compensation out of their own pockets. If the money is not enough, they will use their own heads to make up for it. .So, those secretaries are more meticulous in counting than you."

"That's the truth."

Wu Ji believed [-]% to [-]% of the money and gave up counting the money.

Although he didn't recognize Hu Zhong, he recognized the black lacquer mountain pattern armor on Hu Zhong's body.

Although there are also mountain pattern armors in the Western Army, they are all made of vermilion lacquer.

Therefore, those who wear black lacquer mountain pattern armor are basically veterans of the Qingzhou Army.

After stuffing the copper coins into the sack again, he suddenly discovered that many soldiers had received the rewards and then handed them back to the secretary. In the end, they only received a note and left happily.

And these people, without exception, are veterans of the Qingzhou Army wearing black armor.

Seeing this scene, Wu Ji pointed at the soldiers and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, why did they return the reward again?"

Hu Zhong replied casually: "Of course I saved it, otherwise I would be exhausted carrying a hundred kilograms of copper coins, and I have to guard against someone stealing it."

Wu Ji asked again: "What is that note?"

"The deposit slip is for withdrawing money in the future."

"Can you really get the money?"

Wu Ji was doubtful.

In his mind, money is something he can feel at ease only if he keeps it in his own hands. There is no reason to leave it to others for safekeeping.

"Ah!"

Hu Zhong smiled and was too lazy to explain.

This thing makes no sense. Wasn't it the same for him at the beginning?

Just when Wu Ji wanted to ask again, he saw a commotion coming from outside the military camp. Hu Zhong patted his butt and stood up, walking quickly outside the military camp.

Wu Ji wanted to follow him, but it was inconvenient to drag more than a hundred kilograms of copper coins.

It was only then that he vaguely understood how convenient it was to save the reward money.

Liu Qi put his hands behind his back and shouted: "Why is there so much noise in the military camp? Everyone wants to get slapped. Are they being put in solitary confinement?"

Whoa!

The soldiers who crowded at the entrance of the military camp to watch the excitement dispersed immediately.

A scout reported: "Liu Dutong, Zhao Song's dog officer is here again, saying he is here to see off his bride."

Send off a bride?

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the convoy in the distance, dressed in red and green, beating gongs and drums, and ordered: "Let them wait outside the military camp first, and I will report to the county magistrate."

After that, he hurriedly walked towards the White Tiger Hall.

In the White Tiger Hall, Han Zhen was studying the garrisoned city.

Liu Qi cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to the county magistrate, Zhao Song's bride-to-be team has arrived." "So soon?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Han Zhen's eyes.

The document was signed the day before yesterday and was delivered today. Why was Song Huizong so impatient?
"Come with me to greet you."

Although it was a marriage, she was still his wife after all, and she still had to be given the respect she deserved.

The escorting team received the order and stopped outside the military camp.

Seeing Han Zhen coming towards him, Li Bangyan quickly got off his horse.

When Cai You saw him, he also dismounted and quietly looked at Han Zhen.

Li Bangyan said with a smile on his face: "County Magistrate Han, Emperor Xunde has been delivered, and [-] bolts of silk and [-] silver coins are also among them. As for the remaining grain, we are stepping up the transportation, but the quantity is too large, and we still need to Some time.”

Hearing that the silk and silver had been delivered, Han Zhen was satisfied and chuckled: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."

"County Magistrate Han is welcome."

After exchanging a few words, Han Zhen looked at the thirty or fifty palace ladies behind the carriage and frowned: "Why are there so many palace ladies?"

Li Bangyan hurriedly explained: "Emperor Xunde is deeply loved by His Majesty, so she arranged for some maids to serve her in daily life."

Serve daily life?

Han Zhen sneered in his heart and said without any doubt: "No need, there will be people waiting for you by then. Take all these maids back."

"This……"

Cai You and Li Bangyan were both shocked.

"Why, is Mr. Li in trouble?"

Han Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and his tone became colder.

"No embarrassment, no embarrassment!"

Li Bangyan shivered and immediately responded: "I will take them back right now."

Cai You didn't dare to speak the whole time. He always felt that the Qingzhou thief looked at him as if he was looking at prey.

Soon, Li Bangyan and Cai You hurried away with the palace maids and coachmen.

In a luxurious carriage, four women were whispering.

"Luzhu, did you see it?"

"Oops! Don't rush me. There are too many people blocking my view. I can't see clearly."

"Get out of the way and let me take a look."

"hold on……"

Although Zhao Jinfu did not speak, he looked eager to give it a try. However, due to his status, he could not compete with them.

After a fight, Zhao Luzhu reluctantly gave up his position, and Jiang Suyi immediately stepped forward.

Just as he opened the curtains, he met a pair of sharp sword-like eyes.

"what!"

Jiang Suyi exclaimed and quickly closed the curtains, her heart pounding rapidly.

Zhao Fujin was about to ask a question when he heard a clear voice from outside the carriage: "Come, welcome the Emperor Ji into the military camp."

The next moment, the carriage started again.

The army was all men, so they couldn't receive them. The coachman simply drove the carriage into the camp and left in a hurry.

Seeing that the carriage stopped again and the surroundings were quiet, Zhao Luzhu took courage and said softly: "Suyi, who did you see just now?"

Jiang Suyi blushed and whispered: "It seems to be a Korean thief... Oh, no, it's my husband."

In fact, from the moment they left Tokyo, they were already Han Zhen's wives and concubines.

Zhao Luzhu hurriedly asked: "What does it look like? Is it really as rumored?"

For a moment, Zhao Fujin and Fu Qingyi also looked at her with anxiety and a hint of expectation.

"I...I didn't see clearly."

Jiang Suyi said timidly.

The three girls felt disappointed.

Even Fu Qingyi couldn't help it and asked: "You were clearly right next to the carriage just now, how come you can't see clearly?"

"I really didn't see clearly."

Jiang Suyi didn't tell lies. In fact, for a little girl, Han Zhen's eyes were too alluring, as if being stared at by a tiger. She was so frightened that she lost control and hurriedly closed the curtains.

Zhao Fujin comforted him: "It's okay, I'll see you soon."

With Di Ji's comfort, Jiang Suyi returned to her usual liveliness and chirped: "Although I couldn't see his face clearly, I just took a quick glance and found that Han... my husband is not as rumored. He is eight feet tall and eight feet in waist." .”

Fu Qingyi couldn't help but shook his head and laughed: "Only a fool like you would believe such rumors. Who is eight feet tall and has an eight-foot waist? Doesn't he become a Fangtian person?"

Jiang Suyi retorted: "Why not? The same rice can feed all kinds of people. I have even seen a Kunlun slave who was as black as charcoal."

Fu Qingyi was too lazy to argue with her and kept silent.

She has a cold temperament, and Jiang Suyi is still a bit of a brat.

Time passed bit by bit, and unconsciously, the light inside the carriage gradually dimmed.

Zhao Luzhu took out a candle, lit it, and served a plate of preserved fruit cakes.

"Di Ji is hungry. Let's eat some pastries first to cushion our stomach."

"it is good."

Zhao Fujin did not show any pretense. After twisting a piece of pastry, he ordered: "You all should also eat some. Don't be polite."

"Thank you Di Ji."

Fu Qingyi and the other two thanked each other and started to take action.

At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, accompanied by the sound of beetle leaves rubbing against each other.
