Chapter 194 Such benefits, tacit understanding
After Wu Cheng escaped, Duke Fu of Weibei immediately wrote a memorial to report what had happened in Weibei to the emperor and sent someone to deliver it back to the capital.
Then he ordered the soldiers to check all of Wu Cheng's property and register it. After the inventory was completed, he saw page after page of treasures on the book, the red coral that was half a person's height in front of him, the night-shining pearl that was not even in the palace, boxes of gold, farms, shops...
Duke Fu couldn't help but sigh in amazement. Who gave a small Weibei garrison commander such courage? He was so crazy. This was a typical example of someone who valued money over life!
Especially since this guy actually dared to chase and kill Jiang Chuan, he deserves to die a hundred times.
This time, if I don't kill him, the emperor will not let him go.
Wu Cheng, Wu Cheng, you are really useless and have accomplished nothing!
Duke Fu was happy, smiled and stroked his beard, and ordered Wu Da beside him: "Give each person who came with you five taels of silver as a subsidy. As for where the money will come from, you should understand, right?"
Wu Da smiled knowingly: "Master, I understand, this is the custom. Isn't this ready-made money?" Wu Da pointed to the account book with his finger.
Duke Fu laughed loudly: "You old fellow, you understand me more and more. I didn't say anything. I just told them to do it cleanly. If anything gets out, I won't care. This can be considered as a benefit for them! Apart from these, have them seal the boxes and send them to the capital to the emperor, to make up for the loss of food and grass!"
"I understand, sir. I'll go right away. If they don't know these rules, then there's no point in them making money." Wu Da smiled, saluted, and retreated.
Then we walked through the flower corridor and came to the residence of the young general who was leading the team this time.
It is dinner time now and several young players are having their meal.
They were all people who lived in the capital, and they knew that although Wu Da did not hold an official position, he was probably the most important person in Duke Fu's mind besides Jiang Chuan.
The people in the army worship strength above all else. Everyone knows that Wu Da has protected Duke Fu for decades, but no one knows how good his martial arts skills are.
Seeing Wu Da coming over, several people stood up and bowed to him: "Mr. Wu, you are here at this time. I wonder what instructions the Duke has for you?"
Wu Da was a man who understood human nature, and seeing their respect, he did not act arrogantly, but smiled and helped them up.
Then he found a chair and sat down: "Come over this time, there is some good news, it depends on whether you can handle it."
"What good news? Please tell me directly."
"You have worked hard all the way here, Wu Cheng, that dog official. He has embezzled a lot. The silver in the treasury, including 25,000 taels, does not need to be recorded in the register. The Duke will not take care of it. You and the soldiers who came with you can handle it. Do you understand?"
Several people were delighted: "Thank you Mr. Wu for your advice. Please thank the Duke for us."
Who wouldn't want to provide some benefits for the soldiers they lead? Now the opportunity is right in front of us. Ordinary people may not care about this little money, but for some children from poor families, this may be the living expenses for one or two years.
Wu Da laughed: "I didn't say anything! The Duke and I don't know anything. There is only so much silver in Wu Cheng's warehouse. Of course, you have worked hard and you don't know that there are a few hundred taels missing. But whoever lets it slip will bear the consequences."
This means that they are allowed to take an extra hundred taels each.
Several young generals laughed and said, "Understood."
When investigating corrupt officials, there was an unwritten rule that those who went there would be allowed to take a little. The most important thing was that Wu Da knew that there was nothing harder than being a soldier. He also wanted to give them some benefits.
Once Wu Da came back and told Duke Fu about it, the matter was over.
Duke Fu felt relieved when he saw that the situation had been resolved and Wu Cheng could no longer cause any trouble.
While asking people to continue chasing Wu Cheng and his son, he waited for news from Jiang Chuan and the others.
When he was feeling upset, Fu Shisan, who was sent by the government to look for Jiang Chuan, finally came back.
When Duke Fu heard the news, he immediately asked someone to come in. As soon as he saw them, he asked anxiously, "Is the young master injured? Are the others in danger of life?"
Fu Shisan knew that Duke Fu was worried about Jiang Chuan, so he told him the details of Jiang Chuan and the others' situation: "Duke, don't worry, they are all fine now. Young Master Jiang was injured, but it was only a superficial wound. He is not in danger of death, and he will be fine after some rest. The injuries of the others are not serious, and the missing person has been found. He is still in a coma and is now resting temporarily in a dilapidated temple at the border of Weibei."
Thinking that those places were not conducive to the recovery of the wounded, Duke Fu simply asked Fu Shisan to go again and bring all of Yun Changhai and his group to Weibei.
Fu Shisan received the order and was about to leave immediately, but the Duke called him back: "Well, you little bastard, go to the kitchen and get some food first. Eat your fill before leaving."
Fu Shisan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Duke. I'll go right away." After saying that, he slipped away quickly.
As soon as he left the courtyard, he went to the kitchen. Fu Shisan came to the kitchen and asked the cook to prepare some food for him.
In order to find the young master as quickly as possible, the people who were looking for him worked non-stop for several days. After finding him, in order to let the Duke know the news as soon as possible, they hurried back to report.
From yesterday till now, I have only eaten a few bites of dry food and drank some water that I brought with me. Now I am really tired and hungry.
The cook heard his order and immediately started cooking. She made a bowl of noodles for Fu Shisan. She added two eggs and some braised beef. She simply sliced it and put a few pieces on top.
The taste was good, and Fu Shisan devoured the noodles in no time. At the same time, he did not forget to ask the cook to fry some pancakes for him to eat on the way.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, I felt comfortable all over. I breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that I was finally alive.
He took a few scallion pancakes that the cook had fried, wrapped them in oil paper, put them in his bag, and then went to the stable to lead his horse outside the door, then he got on the horse and headed towards the ruined temple to pick someone up.
