Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 460 Ten Years (3)
"The one who proves that Brother Yi has died in battle is the son of Duke Cheng." Xiao Yu continued, "The son of Cheng Guo was the main general who conquered the Northwest back then. Because the elder brother performed very well, he was remembered by the Duke of Cheng. Later, after several battles, the eldest brother of the Yi family killed a young general of the enemy army. Later... the war ended and the army was re-deployed. The son of Cheng Guogong wanted to transfer Brother Yi to his side, but not long after the order was issued, Brother Yi's team was ambushed and the entire army was wiped out, including Brother Yi. They were all killed in battle, Uncle Ahe... Duke Cheng has personally seen Brother Yi's body... So, this matter cannot be false..."

"Then why so many years..."

"After I returned to the capital, I begged my father to inquire about the news, and this matter was found out by the son of An Guogong who returned to the capital. He met my father and asked him why he wanted to find a man who died in battle." Xiao Xiao Yu continued, "Soldiers who died in battle will be notified to the yamen of their origin, and the yamen will issue a death notice, and at the same time give pensions to the families of the soldiers who died in battle in accordance with the law... But Brother Yi didn't... the son of Cheng Guogong learned about us I have never heard of Brother Yi's death, so I immediately asked someone to investigate the matter... Unexpectedly, a big case was brought up!"

"Major case?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yu nodded, "The Quartermaster of the Northwest Military Battalion intercepted the death news of the soldiers who died in battle, in order to defraud the court of military pay. Besides Brother Yi, there are many other people whose death news was concealed."

Liu He's eyes widened. Even he had seen the market before, but he couldn't believe that someone would do this!

"Every soldier in the army has a fixed salary every month. If you hide the news of your death, you can continue to ask for military salary from the court, and then take it for yourself..." Xiao Yu's expression turned cold, "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the northwest military camp. Count and check the accounts of the military pay one by one, and you will not be found out easily! These people are taking advantage of this loophole for personal gain!"

"How can this be? How can it be!" Liu He trembled, because of shock, and even more because of anger, dying on the battlefield and being buried in a foreign land. No... not even paper money from my family... How can I be reincarnated after being in hell like this?What's more, the family members have not heard from them year after year, and they can't see people when they are born, and they can't see the dead bodies... Such suffering... "Those people's consciences have been eaten by dogs!?"

Xiao Yu sneered and said: "As long as there are benefits, what do you care about your conscience? Although it is only a small part of the concealment, but the monthly military salary, accumulated over the years, is a huge amount. Facing such a big benefit, How can you care about bad conscience?"

Liu He gritted his teeth, "These people will definitely have retribution!"

"There will be retribution, and it has already come!" Xiao Yu continued, "After this incident came out, the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation and strict punishment!"

Liu He said bitterly: "These people deserve to be hacked to pieces!"

"Uncle Ahe." Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and changed the subject, "The most important thing now is sister-in-law and aunt Yun. Aunt Yun has me, and sister-in-law..."

"I'll go and have a look." Liu He said immediately.

Xiao Yu nodded, and watched him go to Liuqiao, then, he looked up at the gloomy sky, "Brother Yi, this is the ending you want to be upright, if you didn't insist on that day, if you didn't insist on not wanting to change like your father , Now my sister-in-law and Aunt Yun will not be heartbroken. Brother Yi, is it worth it? Do you think it’s worth it? Your integrity didn’t hurt your enemy, but made your loved one fall into pain , Brother Yi, you must regret it now, right?"

The sky is so gloomy, like the hearts of everyone in the Yi family.

Liu He knocked on the door, but there was no response. Fortunately, the door was not locked, so Liu He could go in, pushed the door open, entered the dark room, and saw Liu Qiao sitting on the kang with his back against the wall, singing With legs stretched and head lowered, seeing his daughter like this, Liu He was heartbroken, and walked lightly to the side of the kang, "Aqiao..."

Liu Qiao didn't react immediately, until Liu He called out three times, then she slowly raised her head.

"Aqiao..." Liu He sat on the edge of the kang, "Father is here, father is here..."

"Father..." Liu Qiao opened his mouth, his voice was low and hoarse, his expression was dull, his eyes were red, but there were no tears.

Liu He reached out and stroked his daughter's head, "Father is here, Aqiao, don't be afraid."

"Father..." Liu Qiao looked at him, "Yi Zhiyun is dead."

"Father knows, dad knows..."

"But he clearly promised that I would come back." Liu Qiao continued, "Father, he promised me."

"Aqiao..."

"Father...I let him go that day, I let him go...Dad, did I kill him? Didn't I?"

Liu He hurriedly shook his head: "Aqiao, no! Why did you kill him? Didn't you also say that even if you don't let him go, he will still go in the future! Aqiao, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Father..." Liu Qiao's dry eye sockets became moist again, "He's dead... what should I do?"

"Father is still here! And your mother, we..."

"I know that I like him, I know that I wait for him wholeheartedly, I know that I am very worried about him... But I always think that no matter how much I like him, no matter how much I love him, I have to have him! But now... Dad, I don't know what should I do without him? I don't know how to go forward? I don't even know what I have worked hard for these years? Dad, I don't know that without him, I would There will be no goals, and there will be no direction for the future...Father, what should I do?" She raised her hand to hold Liu He's hand, her eyes filled with confusion and fear, "Father, what should I do?"

"Aqiao..." Liu He really wanted to give her an answer, but he didn't have an answer either.

Liu Qiao shed two lines of tears, "Father... it's only been more than two years... I've only been with him for more than two years... Why is it like this? How could it be? Dad, we have been separated for so many years , I even started to think very carefully to remember his appearance, but why would I be so sad when he died? I would have no direction and no hope, Dad, why? Do I love him so much? "

"Aqiao..." Liuhe couldn't understand Liuqiao's words, he just thought she was sad and confused, and stretched out her hand to hold her daughter in her arms, "There is a father, there is a father...Aqiao, don't be afraid..."

Liu Qiao closed her eyes, but she couldn't stop the tears from seeping out, let alone the pain in her heart, her heart was very painful, Yi Zhiyun, how could you treat me like this?How can I lose my direction and die after I lose it?Die like this?
