Chapter 53: The Great Funeral (I)
Lai Tongyu naturally knew that the most anxious thing for the lord was to mine gold mines, and he had said in secret talks before that he was counting on all kinds of military expenditures!
But he still stayed for three days, and waited until a team of pro-soldiers came over, this team of pro-soldiers was trained by the lord in Jishui County, the family background is innocent, and he has not yet been infected with the habit of tooth soldiers, which is the most useful.
This said that Lai Tongyu rested in the county office, and read the book in the hall for half a day, although he wanted to see the miserable situation of this county, and he wanted to rectify it, but this was not within his authority, and he could only breathe out.
After all, Lai Tongyu is from an official family, knows joints, knows the rules, and just endures not to speak or interject.
At this time, the chief came up and said, "Master, the army is coming, and a team is asking to see you." ”
"Is it finally here? Let him in. Lai Tongyu was overjoyed and said.
After a while, I saw a young man in leather armor, with a heroic spirit, and when he arrived in the hall, he saluted: "Team Zheng Zhou Bin greets your lord." ”
When Lai Tongyu saw it, he said, "Are you from Jishui County?"
"Exactly, on the orders of the lord, at the dispatch of the lord. ”
"Very good, the most taboo thing in mining is that someone instigates trouble among the miners and gathers people to make trouble, so I will transfer you here, you can go with me now, take turns to guard the periphery, you don't have to worry about the things inside. Lai Tongyu was anxious, so he immediately said and stood up.
The attendant smiled and asked, "The master will go out this time, but he will come back for dinner?" If you don't come back, do you want to send it to the next with a small explanation?"
Lai Tongyu groaned: "This time, you will send someone to organize and make more dishes, both the army and the people must supply it, which can be regarded as a reward for opening a mine!"
The attendant answered, and went to Zhang Luo.
When Lai Tongyu went out, he saw fifty soldiers waiting outside, and immediately ordered someone to pull the carriage, go up by himself, and slowly head towards the mining area.
The road was tortuous and difficult, and after an hour of tossing, I came to the mining area.
When I arrived at the mining area, I saw that the mountain was not high, and now the mountain was full of withered grass, and I saw that the camp wooden houses were packed up very neatly, at least there was no water leakage and rain, and a big stone suddenly fell in my heart.
Before I passed, I saw Zhao Lingzhi running over, kowtowing and saluting: "My lord!"
"Have you done everything I commanded you?"
"My lord, it's all done, you see, everyone has arrived. As he spoke, he ordered to bring people, and after a while, hundreds of people had already arrived, and they saw that everyone was full of dishes, but they were indeed young and strong, and they couldn't help nodding secretly.
This Zhao Lingzhi was really said by Lai Tongyu, he did have some talents, and in just a few days, he really appeased these people properly.
Lai Tongyu commanded: "Divided into the outer camp and the inner camp, the outer camp is guarded by the team, the inner camp is divided into two halves, and there are still some people coming, you can distribute it according to this!"
Then he said, "Today I will give you wine and meat, and you will go to rest first, and then you will start tomorrow." ”
"Obey!" Zhao Lingzhi and Zhou Bin immediately responded.
Lai Tongyu didn't know anything about gold mines, but according to the words of the lord, he was digging around, digging deeper to see, sure enough, the bottom layer was indeed not thick, and the third said, there was a team leader Zhou Bin sent someone to report: "My lord, dig out the gold." ”
At this time, Lai Tongyu was waiting in the hall, and when he heard this, he quickly stood up.
I saw that there were a few pieces in the basin sent, some of which were so-called natural dog's head gold, and a few of which were stones with golden light, Lai Tongyu hurriedly stepped forward and looked at it carefully, the feel was particularly heavy, it was indeed gold, Lai Tongyu put it down with a heart, and couldn't help laughing.
You must know that this time he came to Shunyi County and shouldered the most important mission, which was to mine gold. If this thing is not done properly, it is worthy of trust in the lord.
"Pass my order, the salary will be increased by 50%, and the food will also be increased by 50%, and I must dig it well, and the guards must strictly search the body, whoever dares to take the gold out will be severely punished immediately!"
"Yes!"
After another ten days, the veins have been completely identified, the gold has been mined continuously, and after a month and a half, Lai Tongyu made the small pot melt gold, and finally turned it into gold bars, weighed, there are more than 6,800 taels, even if it is not pure now, there are 5,000 taels of gold, Lai Tongyu laughed loudly, and finally completely relieved his heart, and said: "Quick, take it and transport it to the lord, transport it to the lord!"
When Lai Tongyu arrived at Wenyang Mansion, he arrived at the Marshal's Mansion to report the good news, but he saw people coming and going, all of them in a hurry, but with a kind of sadness, he was surprised in his heart.
Lai Tongyu stayed for a while, and finally saw a somewhat familiar person walking by, and hurriedly pulled him over and asked, "What's going on?"
This person was angry at first, and then raised his eyes and saw that it was Lai Tongyu, so he hurriedly endured it again, and whispered: "You still don't know?
"Ahh
"Lord Lai, now the house is not allowed to spread the news, so I don't know outside, Lord Lai, you sit down first, I think the lord will meet you soon." ”
Lai Tongyu shook his head and said, "I understand, you just have to go, I'll wait here, if the lord can't meet me, I'll come back tomorrow." ”
And he took out some money, and the man took it, and went out without saying a word.
After a while, a person with an attendant hurried over, and when Lai Tongyu saw it, he hurriedly saluted: "Lord!"
The person who came was Wang Hongyi, his face was pale at this time, he smiled reluctantly, and said, "I heard that you have dug up the gold?"
"Yes, my lord, look, six thousand five hundred taels of gold!" As soon as he opened the box he had brought in, there were golden gold bars inside, although the production was still a little clumsy, but there was no doubt that they were gold bars.
Wang Hongyi casually ordered: "You take one and take it with you." ”
"Yes!" Lai Tongyu hurriedly responded, a gold bar was ten taels, heavy, and the volume was not large, so he took it and followed.
I saw a group of people only running to one courtyard, and in this courtyard, there were already people coming and going.
There are prepared to take out shrouds in suitcases, some carry kettles, and a few medical officers are hurrying in and out, filling the hospital with the smell of medicine, but at this time, although there are many people, they are all tiptoeing.
Wang Hongyi went in with a few people, only to see that Lao Shuai was already lying on the bed by the window, his face was yellow, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was slight.
Doctor Zhao was taking care of it, and someone was holding a bowl of ginseng soup, and he didn't even notice Wang Hongyi coming in.
"The general is here!" One person heard the movement, turned his face and saw that it was Wang Hongyi, and hurriedly pushed Doctor Zhao, who then felt that he wiped his eyes and saluted.
Wang Hongyi nodded and said, "How is the situation?"
Doctor Zhao said: "Yes, this morning, Dashuai felt very tired and asked me to come and see, I don't want to be in a coma before I have time." ”
Perhaps it was because he heard Wang Hongyi's words, Wang Zunzhi's face was miraculously bloody, and he opened his eyes, and at this time, Doctor Zhao hurriedly stepped forward, took the bowl and took the spoon, and fed it one bite at a time.
This is fifty old ginseng soup, used to hang his life, Wang Zunzhi drank a few sips, his spirit seemed a little better, smiled at Wang Hongyi, and said: "Wu'er, it seems that this time I can't escape." ”
Wang Hongyi's heart ached, and he stepped forward and whimpered and said, "Father, as long as you take care of this disease, you can get better, don't think about it!"
"Hey, I'm clear, it's a flashback. Wang Zunzhi smiled and said, "Maybe I understood before I died, I really gave you a problem in the end." ”
Wang Zunzhi paused for a moment and smiled suddenly: "General Dingyuan, hehe, General Dingyuan, it's not easy to sit in this position!"
Wang Hongyi listened to the tears and said: "Father, don't worry, I will support it and watch me get back into the overall situation." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and whispered two more words.
"Oh, yes, you are blessed, I don't care about this bit of gold, what I care about is that you are blessed, when you want it, you have it, this is much more relieved!"
Wang Zunzhi showed a child-like smile, his eyes lit up, and then dimmed, and at this time, his face gradually changed, becoming gray and white.
Wang Hongyi was shocked and stepped forward.
Wang Zunzhi's body twitched suddenly, and he whispered: "Don't be afraid, I've taken care of everything I can cook...... That woman died with me today, and you buried me with her......"
Wang Hongyi knelt on his body and listened to Wang Zunzhi's increasingly weak voice: "I figured it out, the Li family is a disaster, and I don't protect my shortcomings...... Ay...... What should you do when people die...... What to do...... You said you were going to take over the world...... I support, hey, the world of our Wang family......"
At this point, Wang Zunzhi only moved his lips and couldn't hear clearly.
At this time, Medical Officer Zhao rushed forward and stabbed him with a needle.
Wang Zunzhi suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Wu'er, I watched you make contributions underground......
Speaking of which, as soon as the head is tilted, the breath is gone.
Wang Hongyi was confused for a while, took a few steps back, and was about to fall, but several people behind him hurriedly rushed up and helped him sit on the stool, Wang Hongyi was stunned for a moment, stared at Wang Zunzhi's corpse blankly, and said for a while: "Then, just follow the rules......"
Since then, no one has secretly helped him behind his back and cared for him.
"Yes!"
Wang Hongyi was silent for a moment, his eyes kept crying, but his heart became clearer and clearer, and he said orderly: "The whole mansion has changed into filial piety clothes, so that the two counties are not allowed to be happy." ”
"Order all officials to come to the house to meet the spirit of the knock and hold a big funeral. Speaking of this, he remembered that Wang Zunzhi had dealt with the aftermath in the past few months, and he didn't need to do anything at this time, just use it.
In my heart, I was sad again, and said: "My father has been uneasy for a long time, and now that he has passed away, can it not make people sad when he thinks about his words? Mrs. Wang Zhang's grief is excessive, and he also passed away, and he lost his parents, how can I bear it? It's just that the son of man is filial piety and dedication to courtesy, and I should have been mourned for three years, but I am the lord of the two counties, and the government and army are busy. ”
Speaking of this, he said: "The two counties have suddenly changed dramatically, I am new mourning, I am afraid that there is something missing, that is, Li Gang and the secretary Lang Yuzhao to deal with the funeral, although Wang Yan is an uncle, but the Changding Mansion is very important, not to say that there is no owner, after bowing, I will go back to the town to do things, and the other generals and ministers should be like this!"
"In this big change, if there is chaos and rumors, they will all be killed!" Speaking of this, the murderous spirit has been revealed.
Because they had been prepared, there was a law on how to deal with it, and everyone bowed down together and said, "No!"
