647: If you are a close friend, you need to pay more [two-in-one]
Deed of redemption???
The big three characters make people suspect that they are illiterate.
"Redemption deed? Redemption? What does this mean?" Qiu Cheng's old subordinate slapped the "redemption deed" on the table, and shouted sternly, "What does Shen Youli mean by this! Give me a 'redemption deed' What does it mean! Say it!”
The old man who was given the deed was very angry.
The soldier who came to deliver the deed was shivering with spray, and he dared not wipe his face with the spittle. Even though this old soldier had been banned from the Dan Mansion and could not use his unique skills of tearing alive people, his burly and strong body and the temper of years of fighting The murderous intention still brought a psychological shadow to Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing said bravely: "It means... let the general's family use money to redeem the person..."
"Why!"
The table clattered loudly.
Xiaobing: "...But, you are a prisoner."
Qiu Cheng's straightforward answer choked Qiu Cheng's old subordinates to the point of speechlessness. He was like a wounded beast whose territory had been invaded, pacing back and forth anxiously and angrily. After a long while, he said in an extremely irritable tone: "All my relatives are dead, what can I do with it?" Redemption?"
When the soldier heard this, he looked at him with sympathy and said: "If that's the case, you can only redeem yourself by doing corvee labor to earn working hours... When you have earned enough, you will regain your freedom... With the ability of a general, it should be very easy Fast……"
After all, it is an eighth-class public transport.
Qiucheng's old department: "..."
When two forces fight, the winning side asks the losing side to use money, rice and food in exchange for prisoners. This is actually a common operation.
Because prisoners are manpower and burdens at the same time.
There are as many mouths as there are prisoners.
There is no food and no price or no way to sell it?
Then we can only kill them all to save food rations.
However, Qiu Cheng's situation this time was quite special. Shen Tang took care of him from top to bottom. Not to mention his former subordinates who were captured, even Qiu Cheng himself was handed a "redemption deed". The size of the amount was based on their family background, origin, status, and savings. Wait for the data to come up with a more reasonable figure. They can choose to let their relatives redeem the person with money, or they can work to redeem the person.
What if you just live without any money or work?
Then we can only meet the King of Hell.
All in all, you can't just eat rice.
Some of the people responsible for negotiating with them were former colleagues who had changed their jobs, which was somewhat embarrassing.
Qiu Cheng's face was as black as the ashes on the bottom of a pot, and the eldest lady frowned: "Master Sir, why don't you ask me to write a letter to my mother's house?"
If Qiu Cheng wanted to redeem his life, he had to write to the head of the eldest family clan of the Qiu family, who was his nominal cousin and actual biological brother, and wanted money to redeem his life. However, Qiu Cheng had previously ignored the fact that his eldest brother and his family were in the hands of Zheng Qiao as hostages, and responded to Huang Lieju's request. Soldiers fight against Zheng Qiao.
They almost forced the entire Qiu family to death.
The two brothers had a deadly feud.
How could he come up with the ransom money to redeem his life at this moment?
Even if the other party was willing, Qiu Cheng didn't have the nerve to speak. He had been secretly competing with his eldest brother all his life, and he would never bow to anyone. The eldest lady saw her husband's inner awkwardness, and in order to maintain his dignity, she took the initiative to speak.
Qiu Cheng shook his head and refused.
"My father-in-law has not been easy these past few years. He has not received much respect from my son-in-law. How can I bother him with my words?"
This is actually a scene talk.
The actual reason is that Qiu Cheng did not develop well in the early years, and the eldest lady's mother's family disliked him. The two families had little contact and their friendship was shallow. He also had no feelings for the eldest lady, his married daughter. If he asked for money now, he would definitely be declined. .
Why should Qiu Cheng go up and suffer this humiliation?
The couple fell into sorrow.
At this moment, Shen Tang also had his own troubles.
It's not because there are many government affairs - after taking over Xiaocheng, she has been busy, but it is much better than when she was poor and destitute, and there was a serious shortage of manpower at the grassroots level. She has to do everything by herself - she is worried about two things now, one of which is related to Xun It must be related.
On the fifth day after taking Xiaocheng, when Qiucheng and his old subordinates received the deed, Xun Ding gave her something.
A crudely made wooden box.
"What's this?"
Shen Tang did not open it to read.
Xun Ding said: "Return to Lord Shen to redeem your life."
The young man was wearing a loose-fitting indigo round-necked uniform with a wavy waist that tightened the waistline. At first glance, he did not look like a warrior, but he looked a bit like a romantic scholar. However, his answer left Shen Tang confused: " Do you want to redeem yourself? But you are not a prisoner in the first place, so there is no question of redeeming yourself or not. Speaking of which, you made a great contribution in the battle of Xiaocheng."
You should be rewarded based on your merits.
But Xun Ding couldn't help but owed Xun Zhen a huge debt.
"No, it's to redeem Gong Xi's revenge."
"Atoning for the feud between the Duke and the West?"
Shen Tang thought about how he had been eating and drinking for free these past few days, playing marbles and basking in the sun to beat Yang Ying's Gong Xiqiu. How could this guy look like a prisoner? Could Xun Ding have misunderstood something? Besides, she remembered Xun Ding. There will definitely be no enmity with Gongxi.
She began to tease him and said: "Gong Xiqiu is my close friend. If I want to redeem him, I have to pay more!"
Xun Ding was not sure: "About...enough."
Now it was Shen Tang's turn to be shocked.
Xun Zhen's grown-up son actually has such a fortune?
She couldn't wait to open the wooden box, and what she saw looked familiar. She touched her waist and felt the seal and ribbon of the county governor. The object in the box was also the seal and ribbon of the chief of a county. Shen Tang looked up at Xun Ding, almost indigestion: "What do you mean by Yongan, you want to use Minfeng County to redeem Gongxi Qiu?"
Xun Ding nodded: "Yes. Although Minfeng County is only a small area, surrounded by mountains, forests and valleys, with little cultivated land and few common people, it is still a county. Lord Shen fully controls Sibao County, and then takes over Minfeng The county is also the icing on the cake."
He didn't feel any pain at all if he was given up.
The seals and ribbons of Minfeng County were originally obtained by him who used force to kill the original county government and robbed it. In recent years, by cleaning up the bandits hiding in the territory, they have been beaten so that they dare not disturb the common people in the territory, making the common people's lives a little easier, but only a little.
If you want to truly live a good life, you still need a professional team.
And, invest a lot of money.
Shen Tang thought for a long time and pushed the seal ribbon.
It’s not that she doesn’t want this land, but—
"The ransom money for Gong Xiqiu has been handed over by someone."
Xun Ding was surprised: "Who?"
"Lin Lingde and Tu Xianrong."
Xun Ding didn't recognize either of the two unfamiliar names.
"You know one of them." She already knew that before the encounter broke out between Linshan County and Xun Ding, Xun Ding met Kang Shi's troops, so he must have fought with Lin Feng. "As for Tu Xianrong, he is Ling De's senior brother. Gong Xiqiu saved their lives. I promised Ling De that I would capture Gong Xiqiu one day and let him go for her sake."
"I see." But Xun Ding still pushed Yinshou to Shen Tang and said, "My father's vision is not wrong."
Shen Tang: "..."
This trust is really heavy.
Another thing she worried about was not how to govern Sibao County and Minfeng County, but how many uninvited guests came to her door.
We were acquaintances along the way.
Qin Li, Qin Gongsu.
He was the first to come over and said as soon as he came: "Don't be angry, Mr. Shen. My lord also had to send someone this way because of the friendship between allies. In terms of relationship and friendship, he is naturally closer to Mr. Shen. Qiu Cheng is this person. ...Does Mr. Shen have any plans?"
"Kill or let go?"
Two years have left no trace on Qin Li's face.
He has become more calm and graceful.
"We haven't seen each other for two or three years. Is Gong Su so straightforward?" He didn't warm up the situation. He said some casual remarks and went straight to the topic. Shen Tang said, "I didn't intend to kill him, but I just let him go. It's impossible. When will Qiu Wenyan hand over the ransom money and when will he be free again? Brother Wu's family has a great business, so if you are willing to help pay, you can."
These words clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Wu Xian's meddling in other people's business. Qin Li said: "Jun Shen is joking. Our Lord has a close friendship with Qiu Cheng. How can we hurt the friendship between Wu and Chen's family for his sake? I'm presumptuous to disturb you, but there is actually another one." Important things."
Shen Tang asked: "What's important?"
"Mr. Shen, are you willing to work with us to overthrow the tyrant?" Shen Tang's annexation of Qiu Cheng is equivalent to depriving the Dragon Slaying Bureau Alliance of Qiu Cheng's elite men. This vacancy will naturally have to be filled by someone.
Shen Tang quickly changed the subject.
"Brother Wu is the leader of the alliance now?"
Qin Li replied: "No. But in a short time, the envoy from Huang Lie's tent will arrive. Shen Jun had better make a decision early. To be honest with Shen Jun, Qiu Cheng has a lot of friends. If you fight with him, there will be no dissatisfaction." There are so many, I’m afraid in the future..."
Shen Tang chuckled: "Does he have many friends? That's a good relationship. I want to see which one of them is willing to pay Qiu Cheng's ransom?"
Qin Li: "..."
Whether he was in the game or not, Shen Tang never gave a direct answer.
But, as Qin Li said, Huang Lie's envoy also arrived at Xiaocheng City very quickly. The envoy was a middle-aged scribe, and his attitude was very respectful, and Shen Tang was willing to give him a good look. When the envoy mentioned Qiu Cheng, Shen Tang It's as horizontal as hob meat.
In a word -
If you want her to be released, take the money. If you don't have the money, don't beep.
The purpose of the envoy was not to intercede with Qiu Cheng, but also to test Shen Tang's words. The envoy arrived at the border of Sibao County long before the two sides decided the winner. Huang Lie asked him to act according to the situation. If Shen Tang was valuable, he would win over him, and if he was not, he would do it. Press and beat.
Obviously, the result is the former.
Hearing that Qian Yong went to raid Shen Tang's lair and kicked a metal plate, nearly breaking his foot and suffering a lot of damage, he fled back in embarrassment.
"Jun Shen, are you willing to work with us to overthrow the tyrant?"
Shen Tang was serious when he heard the words, and his words were sonorous and powerful.
"It is Shen's duty to make a living for everyone in the world!"
The messenger's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed: "Jun Shen is righteous!"
The time is set after the spring plowing in the coming spring.
Shen Tang: "Shen will definitely attend the appointment on time."
The war will be fought next year. The top priority is to solve the trivial matters in the old nest. The Mingfeng County that Xun Ding threw away is just a little more. Although this place is only a little big, there are a lot of troubles in it, and it will take some time to settle them. energy.
In her spare time, Shen Tang listened to some gossip.
Bai Su: "Master, do you still remember Miao Shu?"
Shen Tang looked up from the government affairs: "Of course I remember, how come, this person faked the corpse? Or did he fake his death before to hide the truth?"
Bai Su didn't know where her lord came from such a big idea. He shook his head and said in a sighing tone: "No, her body was left to dry in the courtyard for five or six days. Fortunately, it was cold at the moment. If it was midsummer, she wouldn't be able to climb out." How many maggots..."
Shen Tang didn't think much about it at first, and just said: "Aristocratic families are very particular, and they usually have to stay in mourning for seven or fourteen days."
Some people with noble family backgrounds waited for three to five years to wait for the construction of the mausoleum to be completed before being buried. The gossip Bai Su told was not interesting at all. But who knows, Bai Su said: "It's not that they were buried, or they were left there without care. He is also a poor person."
Shen Tang was shocked: "The old rookie of Sepi didn't care?"
After all, a couple's kindness lasts a hundred days, and Miao Shu is still his old subordinate. Although Qiu Wenyan is a prisoner and has no freedom, it is not difficult to entrust the old officials who have changed the court to help bury Miao Shu's body in the ground. Shen Tang is not so mean that he does not allow it. .
Bai Su was also surprised and said: "I don't care."
He also guessed: "Maybe you are worried about annoying the lord?"
Shen Tang said angrily: "There is something wrong with his brain!"
Who in the world doesn't know that she, Shen Youli, has a kind heart and a kind heart?
"Shaoxuan, what happened after that?"
If the body was still there, Shen Tang would have to find someone to bury Miao Shu properly. She did not punish Miao Shu, nor did she humiliate her. She had other considerations. In the future, female literary scholars or brave warriors will become more and more popular. If there are too many, they cannot all be loyal to Shen Tang, and conquests will be inevitable in the future. As long as there is a war, there will be a victory or defeat. Women are captured and their situation is more difficult than that of men.
For example, encountering sexual violence and torture.
I only hope that the victor will treat them as true warriors and warriors, treat them with respect and dignity, and avoid being disrespectful and disrespectful.
Bai Su replied: "It has been buried properly. It was an eighth-class public servant from Qiu Cheng's old department who came forward to ask for help from his colleagues who had returned. This man had been saved by Miao Shu, and now he came forward to repay the burial." ...Oh, it’s time to judge.”
Shen Tang agreed upon hearing this.
"Where is that eighth-class public servant?"
Bai Su said: "I am doing corvee to earn my working hours."
Shen Tang: "..."
She remembered that Mr. Yang was in charge of this matter.
Xiaocheng was destroyed, and the one with the most complicated emotions was Mr. Yang who once used his courage to defend the city. In the past two days, he took leave and went to the place where his old residence was to pay homage to his family. Shen Tang did not disturb him and waited for him. Regulate your emotions.
In order not to let herself think too much, Princess Yang took on many errands. Although he did not have the strength he once had, he had learned other things in the past four years, and Shen Tang was relieved. By coincidence, Mr. Yang came to the county government today, and Shen Tang followed He mentioned the eighth-class public transport.
Yang Gong thought about it carefully: "There is such a person."
Shen Tang: "Is there going to be trouble?"
Yang Gong shook his head: "No, he seems to be an honest and honest man. I was wondering why the lord didn't recruit this person before."
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that he himself doesn't want to."
My family knows their own business.
How could she not know where the shortcomings of the account were?
This time when HR was interviewing Qiu Cheng's former subordinates, she specifically asked Gu Chi to pay attention to the generals who could be used, as partial subjects would affect his performance.
As the lord, Shen Tang can't fight in person every time. It's not that she doesn't want to, but in the future, she may fight on multiple fronts, and multiple battlefields will be fought at the same time. She will not be able to do all the work on her own. Naturally, she must take advantage of the small power to balance it. develop.
But if people don't want to, she can't force it.
"Oh, actually it would be nice if we could keep Gong Xi Qiu..." It would be better to use a top combat power to pull down the average. Shen Tang felt that it was necessary to fool his best friend again and keep Gong Xi Qiu. He couldn't run away, "Mr. Yang, do you want to go take a look?"
Yang Gongdao: "Alright."
Meet the young man who failed him completely back then.
_(:з ∠)_
Let's make a transition and go fuck Zheng Qiao.
Bet, bet, guess who will win Zheng Qiao's head?
Shen Tang: As soon as Yang Gong entered the door, he saw Gong Xiqiu beating Yang Ying in Ou...
