Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 149 Court Rewards
"You all back up! Back up! No one is allowed to hurt her! Follow me down the mountain!" the head of the family said loudly.

The people in Heihuzhai dare not refuse.

Ye Qiongdan held him down the mountain step by step. The bandits in Heihuzhai were very nervous, but they didn't dare to attack her due to the order of the head.

After leaving the gate of Heihuzhai, the head of the family heaved a sigh of relief: "Chivalrous woman, can you let me go now?"

Ye Qiongdan ignored him, just looked at the dense forest, and shouted: "Master Qianhu, send troops!"

Then, the sound of orderly footsteps sounded immediately, and Lord Qianhu led thousands of soldiers to surround the whole place.

"Miss Ye, you really impress me!" Master Qianhu laughed, and then waved his hand, "Archery! Except for Miss Ye and the head of Heihuzhai, don't leave anyone alive!"

……

Three hours later, it was all over.

Before leaving, Lord Qianhu cupped his hands at Ye Qiongdan: "Miss Ye, I never thought you were such a strange woman! Killing the second and third masters of Heihuzhai is so effortless!"

"The daughter of the people said that she dare not boast in front of the adults, she will naturally do her best, and dare not let the adults down!" Ye Qiongdan said modestly.

"Don't worry, my lord will definitely report your achievements and let the court reward you."

"This is all thanks to Lord Qianhu, and has nothing to do with Minnv." Ye Qiongdan said immediately.

"My lord does not lack this credit. When the time comes, please accept the rewards issued by the court with peace of mind. Not to mention anything else, just the rewards offered by the big head, second head and third head of the Heihuzhai. After hanging up for so many years, it has increased a lot of money!" Master Qianhu said heartily.

"Then I would like to thank my lord for your support." Ye Qiongdan saluted him.

"You're welcome, it will be my lord's birthday in a while, Miss Ye must come to the door!"

"It's a great honor to be loved by your lord."

"A Zhong, Ah Yong, take Miss Ye back!" Master Qian Hu ordered.

Immediately, two soldiers came out and nodded slightly to Ye Qiongdan.

They sent Ye Qiongdan to Jiuwei Restaurant. When the worried Hai girl saw her, she immediately came up to meet her and looked her up and down: "Sister Adan, are you okay?"

"It's okay, uncle, Piaoxu and I are all fine!" Ye Qiongdan said with a smile.

"This is really great!" Hai Yatou became happy.

In the yard, the second daughter-in-law who heard the movement came out, and was shocked when she saw her.

"You actually came back in such a complete way?"

"What? You really want me to die without a place to bury you?" Ye Qiongdan raised his eyebrows.

"That's not true, it's just a bit of a surprise." The second daughter-in-law said angrily.

"Miss Ye, then let's go back and report to Lord Qianhu!" The two soldiers clasped their fists at Ye Qiongdan.

"Thank you very much," Ye Qiongdan took a little money from the counter and handed it to the two of them, "Please give me a ride, these money, I will treat you to a drink."

"Miss Ye, we dare not accept this." The two said quickly.

"It's just a little bit of wine money, just accept it." Ye Qiongdan insisted.

"Then thank Miss Ye." The two nodded.

After the two soldiers left, the second daughter-in-law said sourly, "Oh, you really invited Mr. Qianhu?"

"Yes." Ye Qiongdan said lightly.

"It didn't cost a penny?"

"It didn't cost a penny."

"Then why is Mr. Qianhu willing to send troops for you? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to you?" The second daughter-in-law stared at her suspiciously, "I said, there must be some shady things between you and Mr. Qianhu something?"

"What shameful things can there be between me and him?" Ye Qiongdan sneered, "He is a man with a wife, how can I be so humble?"

"Maybe someone is interested in you?"

"Then why don't you take off your head and kick it for me first?" Ye Qiongdan stopped her directly, "Didn't you say before that if I can please Lord Qianhu, you can take off your head and kick it for me? "

"When did I say that?" The second daughter-in-law immediately pretended to be stupid, and then walked towards the backyard, "Does it seem like I, You Yue'e, can say such a thing?"

Early the next morning, Lord Suozhenfu of Qianhusuo in Qinghe County came to Jiuwei Restaurant with a group of officers and soldiers.

Among the Qianhusuo, there are three officials who serve. The master Qianhu is a fifth-rank official, the deputy Qianhu is a fifth-rank official, and the Suo Zhenfu master is a sixth-rank official, and his subordinates are officials.

"Miss Ye, congratulations!" The Lord of Suozhen Mansion bowed his hands to Ye Qiongdan when he saw Ye Qiongdan, "This time, you have made great contributions to Qinghe County! Lord Qianhu has already reported your achievements , and ordered my lord to bring you a reward from the imperial court."

"My daughter, thank you, Lord Qianhu, and Lord Suozhenfu." Ye Qiongdan said hastily.

Neighbors gathered around and watched the excitement.

Even the daughter-in-law of the second room, who had always been mean and ignorant of gratitude, felt a little honored at this moment.

"In addition to capturing the head of Heihuzhai for the lives of thousands of adults, he also got rid of the notorious second head and third head for the common people, and offered rewards of 1000 taels, 500 taels, and 300 taels respectively. In addition, the imperial court also gave fifty bolts of silk and 200 taels of silver." The Lord of Suozhen Mansion continued.

"Minister, thank the imperial court for the reward!" Ye Qiongdan said respectfully.

Several officers and soldiers opened the boxes they carried. In the first box were bundles of high-quality silk, which made many neighbors red-eyed with envy.

In the second box was a whole box of silver, each of which weighed about ten taels of silver.

"Hey, this shopkeeper Ye is really powerful. Heroines don't give in to men! Even the vicious second and third masters in Heihuzhai dare to kill!"

"It's nothing to kill them! It's great to capture the head of the family alive! This girl is really brave and resourceful, but it's a pity that she gave birth to the wrong daughter. If she is a man, she must be a good hand in defending the country!"

"Isn't it? Oh, I'm really envious of this white silver!"

……

"Your Excellency has worked so hard to come here, and the girl is very grateful. It's not too early now, why don't you have a light meal with the girl as the host." Ye Qiongdan motioned to the two shop assistants to carry the box in, and said to the town hall. said the adults.

"No, the bandits have just been suppressed, and there are still a lot of official duties in the camp, so my lord will leave first!" Suo Zhenfu said.

"The daughter of the people sends you off respectfully!" Ye Qiongdan hastily bowed to him again.

After seeing off the people from Suozhen Mansion, Ye Qiongdan said to the neighbors: "Folks, thank you for your care during this period of time. Now the imperial court has rewarded you. If you don't mind, I will send a bolt of silk to my family."

Everyone was happy and came to thank them one after another.

Ye Qiongdan gave away twenty pieces of cloth, and said to the coveted second wife, "You can also take ten pieces of cloth."

"Ten horses? Isn't that too little? I'm still your second aunt, and you treat your own family like this? How stingy!" said the second daughter-in-law dissatisfied.

"Mother! This is the silk that Sister Adan gave her life in exchange for!" Hai Yatou said quickly, "Sister Adan, you can keep these silks for making clothes, we don't need them."

"Why don't you use it? Do you think your family has mountains of gold and silver? You don't need it! Oh, yes, I didn't expect that this girl can be so strong. Sure enough, surviving a catastrophe is different. It's really a queen. Blessings are long." The second daughter-in-law said sourly.

"You keep ten for the second room, and ten for our third room," Ye Qiongdan said, "The remaining five are for the old couple, and five for the first room."

"For the old couple?" The daughter-in-law of the second room blew up, "They are all people who have fallen into the loess. Isn't it too wasteful to make clothes for them with such good material? You have to think about it. Ah Hai has reached the marriageable age, and they need to dress up more beautifully. It is a waste of youth to suffer here with you, shouldn't you give them more silk to compensate for their sacrifice?"

"Mother! We came here voluntarily! Besides, it's not that Sister Adan didn't pay her wages. What's wrong with giving five pieces of cloth to grandparents? Grandparents are your father-in-law and mother-in-law!" Hai Yatou said word by word, " Mother, you are so unfilial to your parents-in-law, you are not afraid that your father will come back, are you in a hurry?"

"Why is this not filial? Is it because they eat, or because they wear? They are living a good life, so they shouldn't ask for this or that. Well, let's give the old couple five pieces of cloth, then I can still understand, but what's the reason for giving it to the first wife? Is their first wife qualified to wear this silk and satin?" The daughter-in-law of the second room snorted coldly, "Where did the silk and satin rewarded by the court come from? Don't think I don’t know, but this is woven by the government-run weaving bureau, and if you sell it in the market, it will cost at least ten taels of silver a piece!”

"Mother, this is the cloth that Sister Adan put her life into, and it belongs to her! Mother, don't talk about it!" Hai Yatou tugged at her again.

"Anyway, I can't swallow this breath if I give Dafang five pieces of cloth!" The second wife said with her neck stuck.

"This time Uncle and Piaoxu were arrested in Heihu Village, and I was also implicated. Now that they escaped from death, they should be given some compensation." Ye Qiongdan explained.

The second daughter-in-law had no choice but to stop talking, but there was still a layer of gloom in her heart that couldn't be dispelled.

"I'll persuade my mother in a while." Hai Yatou said quickly.

"What about the silver?" The second wife asked again.

"What do you think?" Ye Qiongdan replied.

The second daughter-in-law who had to look forward to Shu, knew now that it was a dead end.

She snorted coldly and walked into the backyard.

Ye Qiongdan asked two assistants to carry a total of 2000 taels of silver rewarded by the court to the bank to deposit.

Since he got a reward today, Ye Qiongdan went to Quanfulou to order a table for dinner, and then asked the staff to go to Shanghe Village to bring the whole family over.
