Chapter 2394： Xu's reward

Chapter 2394 The Xu Family’s Reward

Shu Yu nodded as he followed several people inside, "Yes..."

Before he finished speaking, a familiar ecstatic voice suddenly came from outside, "The yamen is here, the yamen is here, Manager Yu is coming out soon."

Shu Yu paused, turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, "It seems to be, Shu Quan?"

Aunt Fang whispered, "It's him. Since the two adults in the village left, this Shu Quan has been running to the county government every day, squatting outside the government office to inquire about news, and waiting for the court to reward him for his meritorious deeds. Right now..."

She suddenly stopped in the middle of her words, her eyes widened and she said in astonishment, "What did Shu Quan just say? The yamen is here. Could it be that the court's order has come down?"

Shu Yu smiled, "I guess so, let's go and have a look."

Qi Lie hasn't been away for a long time, so he reckons he's still on his way. However, the report on what happened in the southwest and what happened was submitted early. The rewards for those who have made great contributions can be negotiated slowly, such as Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng, they probably won't know until next year.

But the rewards of people like Shu Quan are much easier to sort out.

It's just that Shu Yu didn't expect that the decree came so quickly, and the documents were sent to the county government before they left.

Several people turned around and walked out the door, just in time to see Shu Quan running over like crazy.

Seeing Shu Yu, he hurriedly stopped, but couldn't hide his joy, "Lu Shuyu? You're here too."

Shu Yu glanced at him, then looked away and looked at the carriage coming behind him.

The carriage stopped a few steps away, and Wang Changdong helped the county magistrate get out of it, and walked steadily in front of Shu Yu.

"It's a coincidence that the county lord and Mr. Meng are also here." The county magistrate happily said, "The emperor's order has arrived, and it's about Xu Dali and the others. By the way, there's another one about the Wei family. I also care about it.”

Shu Yu was surprised, "About my cousin?"

Wei Qin, who came with Shu Yu, was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly came out from behind, "Me?"

"Yes." The county magistrate smiled, and told Guanshi Yu, "Call all the villagers who participated in the capture of the rebels in Zhengdao Village this time, and I want to read the imperial edict."

"Yes, my lord." Steward Yu hurriedly asked the people on the Zhuangzi to find someone separately.

Aunt Xu Dalifang and Shu Quan both ran home, and then Steward Yu greeted the county magistrate, Shu Yu and others into the Zhuangzi.

It was only time for a cup of tea, and several families came over one after another. At the same time, there were many villagers who heard the news. They all lay outside the door and looked inside curiously.

Seeing that several families had arrived, the county magistrate glanced around, nodded, and got up to read the imperial edict.

The first one mentioned was Xu Dali's family. Xu Zhensheng contributed the most. He stabbed Yuan Ye directly, causing Liu Jie and the others to be in chaos. They left most of their accomplices to escape alone. He threw himself into the trap, and was caught by Meng Yunzheng and the others. In the end, he used Yuan Ye to force back the lieutenant general who took over the garrison, minimizing his own losses and avoiding chaos in the city.

Not only that, Xu Dali also contributed to the list of suspects in Zhengdao Village.

"...Today, three members of Xu's family are pardoned from exile, rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, restored to their original places, and returned to their family property. Xu Zhensheng is young and promising, with extraordinary courage. After returning to Beijing, he can go to Dali Temple to report and obey orders."
