Chapter 78 Compensating the Wounded Cause and Effect
Fu Yun took the jujube and put Qingluan, who looked like his body had been hollowed out, back on his shoulder. He thanked Zhang Sui again, and Zhang Sui just smiled and waved his hand.
You De, who was on the side, couldn't wait to return to Kunzhou City and said to Zhang Sui: "Master Zhang Sui, something has happened here. How about we return to Kunzhou City to talk about it?"
Zhang Sui heard this and wanted to return quickly, because he had just used medical techniques to identify the shellfish left by Cang Qi, and found that some of them were very beneficial to the bloodline of his third sister Zhang Xin.
At this time, You De mentioned that he also wanted to go back quickly and let Zhang Xin give it a try.
Fu Yun, who was looking at Qingluan on his shoulder, heard You De's name for Zhang Sui. He suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Sui and asked: "Master Zhang's name is Zhang Sui? I don't know if he is the same as the Zhang family of Tanhua Bookstore in Kunzhou Prefecture."
Does it matter?"
Zhang Sui saw that Fu Yun's attitude was a bit baffling, so he nodded and said, "I am a member of the Zhang family."
Fu Yun asked again: "Who are you, Zhang Tian?"
Zhang Sui nodded again and said, "He is my eldest brother."
Fu Yun's face no longer looked cold, and it was so gentle that Zhang Sui was a little frightened. Fu Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Your brother and I are old friends, and I wanted to meet him when I passed by Kunzhou this time.
There is such a big difference between the descriptions given by you and your brother!"
Zhang Sui looked at Fu Yun's expression and already had some guesses in his mind. He smiled and said: "I must be a playboy in the eyes of the elder brother, right?"
Fu Yun shook his head and said softly: "No, in your brother's mouth, you are a genius who has been extremely smart since childhood, even he himself is ashamed of himself.
It's just that after his father passed away, he failed to fulfill his duty as an elder brother and failed to accompany and teach you well. When your brother mentioned you, he often blamed himself."
Zhang Sui was shocked when he heard this and was speechless for a long time.
Seeing his appearance, Fu Yun smiled and said: "Now it seems that his worries are completely unnecessary. As far as I can see, among my peers, there are probably not many who can compare with you."
Zhang Sui recovered from the shock and looked at Fu Yun in front of him. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He was knowledgeable and reasonable, good-looking and well-spoken. She was a perfect candidate for a sister-in-law.
It seems that there is a reason why the eldest brother still insists on not getting married because of her mother Liu's pressure.
Zhang Sui's heart moved and he said to Fu Yun: "Starting from my brother, I will call you Sister Fu."
Fu Yun's face turned red, and she nodded: "That's not a bad name."
Zhang Suidao: "Sister Fu, there is a reason why I took action to eliminate Cang Qi this time.
Half a month ago, when my eldest brother was returning from an inspection tour, he was attacked by Cang Qi on the Wei River. He was seriously injured and his life was in danger.
Fortunately, Mr. Meng took action in time so he didn't die on the spot. If I hadn't just returned from my trip, I guess Sister Fu wouldn't have been able to see my eldest brother when she came here this time!"
When Fu Yun heard this, her beauty turned pale, and she asked anxiously: "How is your elder brother doing now?"
Zhang Sui consoled him: "I have expelled the poison from my eldest brother and saved my life. However, my eldest brother is now weak and is recuperating in the mansion."
Fu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, with slightly red eyes, turned around and saluted Mr. Meng beside him, and said, "Thank you Mr. Meng for saving Zhang Lang's life!"
Mr. Meng smiled and said to Fu Yun: "I have watched these two brothers grow up, so it is only right to lend a helping hand. Girls don't have to be polite."
Fu Yun saluted again, turned to Zhang Sui, and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Zhang has a capable younger brother like you, otherwise I wouldn't dare imagine it."
Zhang Sui secretly laughed in his heart. He was an old friend just now, but now he has become Zhang Lang.
Zhang Suidao: "Why don't you, Sister Fu, follow me back to Kunzhou to meet your eldest brother? Maybe your eldest brother will feel better after seeing you and your health will get better soon."
Fu Yun didn't hesitate, nodded and said: "I will arrange for my subordinates to be stationed first, and I will follow you back to Zhang Mansion later to meet your elder brother."
After speaking, he nodded to the others, turned around and returned to his warship.
Mr. Meng smiled and said: "This Commander Fu is straightforward and friendly, not bad."
Zhang Sui smiled and said to Mr. Meng: "Yesterday, my mother was still urging my eldest brother to get married. It seems that there is hope. My eldest brother is nearly thirty years old. If he doesn't get married, there will probably be a huge quarrel in the clan. This is good.
This big stone in my mother’s heart should be put down!”
While talking, Fu Yun should have already explained the relevant stationing matters to his subordinates. At this time, he took a personal guard and returned to Zhang Sui's merchant ship.
Taoist Yinglie greeted Cheng Di, and the two of them apologized and went to the stern of the ship together. Taoist Yinglie probably had something to communicate with Cheng Di.
Zhang Sui ignored them and ordered the captain to return to Kunzhoufu Pier, then invited everyone to sit in the cabin.
Zhang Sui was very curious about the acquaintance between Fu Yun and his eldest brother. According to common sense, the two should not have much intersection. But depending on the situation, the two should have known each other for a long time.
You De saw Zhang Sui and Fu Yun talking about family matters, so he took Mr. Meng to sit on the other side and asked him for some advice on interpreting classics.
Zhang Sui asked Fu Yun in a low voice: "I wonder when Sister Fu met my eldest brother?"
Fu Yun smiled and said: "I have known your eldest brother for five years, and speaking of it, he can be regarded as my savior."
Zhang Sui became more and more curious. Five years ago, it was the time when his eldest brother Zhang Tian tried to expand the family business to Hanjiang Road in the north after sorting out the family business on Southwest Fourth Road.
Fu Yun said: "Five years ago when Di Rong invaded the border area, I led my men to attack and kill their leader. As a result, I was chased by the masters and priests of the Di Rong tribe and fled all the way from northern Xinjiang to Hanjiang Road.
I was seriously injured at that time, but it was your eldest brother who took the risk to take me in and led me to escape the pursuit of the masters of the Di Rong tribe. Later, the imperial court defeated the masters of the Di Rong tribe and took me back to Tianjing."
Zhang Sui was stunned. But he was also puzzled and asked: "Then why didn't I see sister Fu and eldest brother interacting with each other after that?"
Fu Yun sighed: "That time I went to northern Xinjiang to attack the leader of the Di Rong tribe was a test for me. Because I have royal blood, that test was to stimulate the power of my blood by being in a dangerous situation.
It’s a way to connect with this little guy.”
As he spoke, he touched the somewhat languid Qingluan on his shoulder. Seeing Zhang Sui looking at it, the Qingluan shrank its neck and moved towards Fu Yun's neck.
Fu Yun continued: "Because your elder brother saved my life when I was in danger, it also prevented me from completing the trial. It will take several years to polish the power in my blood."
When Fu Yun said this, he smiled, and Zhang Sui felt that the light around him became a little brighter.
Fu Yun continued: "But this also made me get to know your eldest brother. He took care of me for three months. Finally, I was found by the royal family and returned to Tianjing. But I also made a five-year agreement with your eldest brother.
A month ago, I completed my trial and received the task of wiping out Cangqi. I came all the way here to meet your elder brother and fulfill my five-year agreement."
Speaking of this, Fu Yun's face turned slightly red.
Zhang Sui understood. He smiled and said: "My eldest brother has been running around here and there in recent years and rarely stays home. He is probably worried about my mother's nagging. This time, my eldest brother will be very happy when Sister Fu comes."
As the two of them talked, the merchant ship was not far from the pier, and they soon saw the outline of the pier.
From a distance, you can see many people waiting on the pier. After the merchant ship docked, Zhang Sui and others jumped onto the pier.
Waiting at the pier were Dong Zheng, the lord of Kunzhou, and his son Dong Kuo.
Seeing everyone coming ashore, Dong Zheng immediately came forward with Dong Kuo and asked Zhang Sui who was walking in front: "Master Zhang, I wonder what the situation is?"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Everything went well. Not only the water monsters here have been eliminated, but also the water monsters in the upper and lower rivers have been eliminated. Thanks to these two."
With that said, he introduced Taoist Yinglie and Fu Yun to Dong Zheng.
Dong Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and a huge stone fell to the ground in his heart. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute the two of them and said: "Thank you, Taoist Master, and Commander Fu. I have been unable to sleep at night after knowing the information about the water monster in the past few days. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Taoist Master Yinglie waved his hand and said: "I came here just casually. If I want to thank you, I would like to thank Commander Fu. She has cleaned up all the water monsters in the lower reaches of the river. Her merits are immeasurable."
Fu Yun regained his cool demeanor, nodded to Dong Zheng and said: "The imperial court has noticed the flooding of Cangqi in the Weihe River waterway, so it ordered me to wait for the Shuojiang River to go up to clean up the river. It is my responsibility to do so. Master Dong does not need to do more.
present."
Seeing that the hidden dangers near Kunzhou Mansion had been eliminated, Dong Zheng was in a good mood and his whole spirit was lifted a lot. Dong Zheng said: "This is not the place to talk. Why don't you come to my house and I will have a banquet for everyone to celebrate.
.”
Taoist Yinglie did not express his position. Fu Yun said: "The banquet is not urgent. I will order my subordinates to come here. I also ask the master of the palace to send people to hand over and arrange a suitable camp for them. Follow-up supplies must also follow."
Dong Zheng nodded and said: "This is what it should be." He turned to Dong Kuo and said: "Send someone to greet the Qingluan Army and arrange for them to be stationed in the Wuwei Army Camp. Treat them well and don't neglect them!"
Dong Kuo accepted the order and bowed to Zhang Sui and others. Then he turned and left to arrange the garrison of the Qingluan Army.
Zhang Sui smiled and said to Dong Zheng: "Master Dong, we can talk about the banquet later. I still need to ask Master Dong to help me with something."
Dong Zheng said hurriedly: "Master Zhang, please speak!"
Zhang Suidao said: "We still need to trouble Mansion Master Dong to send someone to find out how many people have been harmed by the water monster Cangqi near our Kunzhou Mansion recently. It is best to calculate a specific number and how to provide compensation."
Dong Zheng was a little confused and asked: "Master Zhang, what does this mean?"
Zhang Suidao said: "I am also entrusted by others. Master Dong can just do the statistics and convert the required pension into silver taels. Just come to my house and tell me in the next few days, and someone will send the silver taels."
Zhang Sui didn't want to explain what happened to Pu Hui. This was just a last-minute idea. After all, when Pu Hui left Ling Bei, he wanted to compensate those who had been harmed by Cang Qi.
Ever since he experienced Mr. Meng's breakthrough and rescued his elder brother, Zhang Sui was still in awe of the underlying cause and effect.
Zhang Sui felt that it was necessary to convert the spirit shells left by Cang Qi into silver coins and compensate the ordinary people who were harmed by Cang Qi.
Taoist Yinglie and Mr. Meng on the side were both thoughtful after hearing Zhang Sui's decision.
But Dong Zheng, who didn't know the situation, said after hearing this: "Master Zhang, you don't have to be like this. After the statistics of the people who were harmed by the water monster are calculated, the government will naturally provide subsidies, so there is no need for Master Zhang to spend any money."
Zhang Sui shook his head and said: "Master Dong only needs to do statistics. I have my own reasons and reasons for doing this."
Upon hearing this, Dong Zheng only thought that the matter might be related to Zhang Sui's practice, so he said no more and turned around to order a steward around him to deal with the matter.
Zhang Sui smiled and said to Dong Zheng: "I will not attend Master Dong's banquet, but Taoist Master Yinglie, Mr. Meng and others can go and sit if they are free.
Commander Fu has an old relationship with my family, and the elders in the family have long wanted to see her. I need to take her back to my home, so I won’t accompany you."
When Fu Yun heard Zhang Sui's hidden words, her cold face began to turn red again, but she did not refute.
Upon hearing this, Dong Zheng looked at Taoist Master Yinglie and others, and when he saw them nodding, he said happily: "You can come here, it will really bring glory to my house, I will let people arrange it right away."
Then he said to Zhang Sui: "Since Mr. Zhang and Commander Fu have something to do, I won't say anything more. I will come to visit you again when you have free time to thank Mr. Zhang and Commander Fu for their great kindness to the people of Kunzhou City!"
After saying that, he bowed.
Zhang Sui and Fu Yun returned the courtesy, and then greeted Taoist Yinglie and Mr. Meng.
Zhang Sui smiled and said to Fu Yun: "Sister Fu, let me lead the way for you."
Fang Xiong had already been waiting aside with a few horses.
Zhang Sui and Fu Yun got on their horses, and Zhang Sui shouted: "Go back home!"
With a wave of his riding whip, he ran out first, and Fu Yun also ran out side by side.
Fu Yun's personal guards followed closely behind. Only Fang Xiong stretched out his thighs and carried an iron rod, following behind in a cloud of smoke and dust.
Several people quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
