Chapter 54: Having Different Minds (Please collect and read)

"I'll think about it again and make a decision in a few days." Wei Fei thought for a while and said to Wei Tu.

Even though he couldn't understand the "Heavenly Book" called "Five Yuan Yun Spirit Body" before, he could still guess that it was of great value.

If he hadn't understood Wei Tu's character, he would most likely have hidden this secret book on his person, and then slowly looked for a way to decipher it.

Now, with the addition of Kou Liang and Fu Zhizhou, he feels that the risks are somewhat uncontrollable.

“This is the second brother’s business. Third brother, I’m just making a suggestion.”

Wei Tu knew how to use discretion. After hearing this, he nodded and agreed with Wei Fei's decision without forcing him to do so.

…

Three days later.

Xu County Lieutenant announced that he had captured several of the remnants of Wu Yunlou in Siyang Town and its surrounding villages, and the remaining remnants were still on the run. He hoped that the people would help the government to capture the rebels.

Then, in front of all the people, he chopped off the heads of several Wuyunlou martial arts masters on the grain drying field.

The people watching were silent, while the gentry standing in the crowd were trembling.

In the evening of that day, the gentry and wealthy households who had previously been "inflexible" and resisted law enforcement raids immediately pushed their wheelbarrows and sent their family's wealth to the military camp in Liujiabao.

"I don't have the exclusive use of these properties. Everyone is an official just to get promoted and make money. I will take 50% of it, and the rest will be distributed to you according to the rules..."

Possessions are piled up in the living room.

Xu County Lieutenant summoned a group of military attaches in. He glanced at the expressions on each military attache's face, then weighed the jade Ruyi in his hand and said with a smile.

In this group of military attachés, there were naturally Wei Tu and Wei Fei. The two looked at each other calmly and nodded.

Although the money in front of them was ill-gotten wealth, obtained by Xu County Lieutenant extorting a group of gentry and common people in Siyang Town, they could not change the overall situation... They would not take it for free.

In addition, if they claim to be high-ranking military attaches and do not take this money, they will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by Xu County Lieutenant and other military attaches.

It is not good for the future and one's own life.

Again.

They are miscellaneous officials and are not qualified to join the ranks of the Qing Dynasty.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Xu." After a few breaths, all the military attachés looked happy and thanked Xu Xianwei.

Seeing this, Lieutenant Xu County nodded with satisfaction, turned his gaze to Wei Tu and another middle-aged military attaché, and said, "Envoy of the Wei Army and Envoy of the Chu Army, you two will be responsible for distributing these properties this time."

The voice fell.

Wei Tu and the middle-aged military attache clasped their fists to accept the order, and began to decide the size of the distribution of property based on the rank of the military attache in the house and the credit for the attack on Liujia Fort.

An hour later, the two of them worked together to distribute the property in the house.

All the military attaches were satisfied and did not find any fault with Wei Tu and the Chu envoys regarding the distribution issue.

As the "capital military envoy", Wei Tu also received more than forty taels of money.

Including the property looted when he invaded Liujiapu, Wei Tu came to Siyang Town this time and gained more than 130 taels of silver.

This money was enough to pay off the foreign debts he had owed before, and he was still rich.

“Tomorrow we will break out of the village, leave Siyang Town, and return to the county seat.”

At the end of the game, Lieutenant Xu County said to a group of military attachés.

But just when Wei Tu was about to leave the living room, Xu County Lieutenant called Wei Tu to stop him and asked him to stay for the time being.

Wei Tu was slightly startled and stood in the hall.

After the military attaches left one by one, Xu County Lieutenant took a piece of gold from his pile of belongings and stuffed it into Wei Tu's hand.

“Envoy of the Guards, you have accomplished two great feats this time. You forgot this when you distributed the wealth to yourself. This is not a good habit.”

Xu Xianwei smiled.

“This…” Wei Tu was surprised when he saw the ingot of gold thrust into his hand.

One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver. This ingot of gold is about five taels, which means that this ingot of gold is equal to fifty taels of silver.

This is a lot of money.

Equivalent to the share of a military attache. "Thank you, Mr. Xu." After thinking about it for a moment, Wei Tu gathered his thoughts and bowed to Xu County Lieutenant with cupped fists.

This time, when he distributed the property, it was not that he didn't know that he had made two great contributions, but because he was worried that if he gave him too much money, he would turn against the Chu army envoys who were at the same level as him, so he received the same gift as the Chu army envoys. of silver money.

“Follow Xu, the guards don’t have to be too careful in the army in the future...”

Xu Xianwei walked up to Wei Tu, patted Wei Tu on the shoulder, and said this with a smile.

Then, before Wei Tu could come to his senses and understand the meaning of these words, Xu County Lieutenant waved his hand, signaling Wei Tu to retreat.

…

“Could it be that the captain of Xu County has a different ambition?”

"You are showing favor to me now? Do you want to accept me as your confidant?"

Stepping out of the living room, Wei Tu smacked his lips at Xu County Lieutenant's words for a while and thought about it.

This time it is a rule in the Xiang army to distribute money to a group of military attachés. We cannot let Xu County Lieutenant take all the benefits.

No money is spent. Next time Xu County Lieutenant wants to command the Qingshan County Xiang Army with a wave of his arms, it will not be so easy.

All the military attaches were dissatisfied.

It is difficult for the Xu county captain to command the army.

However, after the military attachés left, Xu County Lieutenant secretly gave him money again, which immediately changed the meaning.

This means to directly win over him and want to make him a confidant.

Buying the morale of the military and winning over military attachés are taboos in the military!

Even if the Shangguan knew about the previous division of wealth, he would lightly reveal it. After all, the imperial court did not allocate much food and salary for the attack on the Wuyunlou branch...

But if the latter is added, the meaning immediately changes. Everyone can see that Xu Xianwei's intention is not simple.

"not my business."

“It’s only fifty taels of silver, and it’s not worth risking your life for.”

Weitu touched the golden bump on his waist and decided to just eat the sugar coating without the cannonballs.

The ingot of gold that Xu County Lieutenant gave him was ill-gotten wealth, and he took it without any psychological burden.

I really want to serve you.

That is also to serve the Zheng court and the people of Siyang Town.

What does Xu County Lieutenant have to do with him?

Furthermore, given his identity and status, he was only given fifty taels of silver to win over him, which was far from enough.

…

The next day, early morning.

After the Xu county captain counted the soldiers, he ordered the soldiers to break out of the camp, leave Siyang Town, and return to the county seat.

When the Xiang army left Siyang Town and arrived at the mountain where they stayed before the war...

At this time, Wei Tu heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from Siyang Town.

He sighed secretly, shook his head, and without looking further, he rode away from the mountain and followed closely the large army.

The process of leaving Siyang Town and returning to Qingshan County went smoothly without any twists and turns.

After returning to the county town.

 Wei Tu returned home, took off his fine armor, washed himself, and then went to Huang's house with thirty taels of silver in his hand to pay a visit.

“Thirty taels?”

“You got enough together so quickly?” When Wei Tu heard Wei Tu’s intention, he looked surprised and couldn’t believe it.

Thirty taels of silver, according to Wei Tu's salary, it would take three or four years to save enough without eating or drinking.

How long has it been since she borrowed the money from Wei Tu?

Less than two years.
