Chapter 208 The Mission for Dou Duoduo
Zhu Mingqing slowly stood up from the ground, holding his sword unchanged, and said with a calm smile: "You lose!"
"I was so scared!" Dou Duoduo closed his eyes and then opened them again, feeling relieved. "Madam, are you really not hurt?"
Zhu Mingqing asked with a smile, "Are you admitting defeat?"
"Give up, give up." Dou Duoduo confirmed again whether she had any problems.
Zhu Mingqing then put down his sword. Just as he said nothing was wrong, a sword immediately appeared on his chest.
"Madam, you taught me that." Dou Duoduo smiled shyly: "All is fair in war."
Zhu Mingqing was stunned, looked up at Dou Duoduo who looked embarrassed, and acted decisively.
So, this is a white-on-black situation?!
Wu Xing was also confused, but still very relieved.
The junior brother used to be an obedient child who never rebelled. He was afraid that Duoduo would not be pleasing to the lady.
After all, the lady is... how should I put it, not a good person in the general sense.
Now, it's the same thing.
I should be able to barely support myself.
"You win."
Finally, Zhu Mingqing said directly.
"Then I'll put down my sword. Besides, I have internal strength, but Madam doesn't. If we continue fighting, the situation won't be optimistic." Dou Duoduo said with a smile.
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly and was once again impressed by this handsome young man.
He has good kung fu and a good learning ability. Although he looks simple, he actually has his own ideas.
I just don't know if I can handle the next task.
Zhu Mingqing: "You can stay."
Dou Duoduo was so happy that he stepped forward and gave his senior brother a big hug: "I'll treat you to a big meal!"
Wu Xing smiled and patted his shoulder: "Alright, thank the madam!"
"No rush!" Zhu Mingqing asked Wu Xing and Fen Tao to leave the yard first, then said, "The next matter will depend on your future monthly salary."
Dou Duoduo's eyes lit up: "I will definitely do it beautifully."
The wind blew gently as Zhu Mingqing pulled out a portrait from inside the house. "This is Liang Zongwu, the governor of Jizhou. If you can injure him, your base monthly salary will be ten taels. That means you don't have to do anything, and you'll receive ten taels of silver every month from now on."
"Besides that, there's also performance. This is determined based on the difficulty of the task and the degree of completion. A hand is fifty taels, a leg is fifty taels, and if the injury dies, five hundred taels."
Dou Duoduo had never seen so much silver in his life. The most silver he had in his hands was the five taels of silver he took when he went down the mountain this time.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhu Mingqing asked again: "Can you accept it?"
This kid has never left the mountain, and it is very likely that he has never even killed anyone.
Zhu Mingqing didn't know whether he could complete it.
But Dou Duoduo was very excited: "Yes!"
Zhu Mingqing shook the portrait and said, "This is the governor of Jizhou, surrounded by countless guards. Think carefully before answering."
Dou Duoduo's handsome face was filled with an uncontrollable eagerness: "Madam, you don't know, but on my way to seek refuge with my senior brother, I was chased by this dog official's men."
He was just passing by and saw someone being besieged, so he was mistaken for an accomplice by the corrupt official. He only managed to escape after falling into the water.
Zhu Mingqing thought it was a coincidence: "Who did you save?"
Dou Duoduo touched his head and said, "I don't know. I saw five or six people besieging one person. I was resting on a tree at the time. I accidentally made a noise and got implicated."
"Do you remember what that person looks like?"
Since it was possible for Governor Liang to take action to deal with the other party, there might be some conflict between them.
Dou Duoduo recalled: "He was tall and mighty, but his body was very dirty because of the blood stains from his injuries. I couldn't see his face clearly, but it seemed that he was going to leave the country and go to the territory of the Hu people and the Xiongnu."
Zhu Mingqing was disappointed that he couldn't find out more information, but he didn't hold out much hope.
Let’s leave the investigation of the Liang family’s affairs to the Censor.
Suddenly, Dou Duoduo took out a booklet from his sleeve: "However, he accidentally dropped something and I picked it up."
Zhu Mingqing opened it with suspicion, flipping through it faster and faster, and then suddenly closed it at the end: "Do you know what this is?"
Dou Duoduo nodded: "I have heard about the matter in Zhending Prefecture. But I have no connections and no money. There is no way to send this thing to the right person."
Ever since his senior brother said he would introduce him to the Luo family, he has been thinking about how to resolve this matter.
But that's just how it happened.
The first task that Madam Zhu assigned was related to that dog official.
But the two sides are still in a hostile relationship.
"I'll take it." Zhu Mingqing generously gave him a hundred taels of silver. "This is your reward."
Dou Duoduo's hands were shaking as he held the banknotes.
He licked his lips. Senior brother was right. The Luo family was really a good place to go.
"Madam, I will leave tomorrow." He was also eager to make a contribution as soon as possible.
Zhu Mingqing opened the desk beside him, but actually put the book into his immortal residence.
She turned her head and asked, "Do you need help?"
Dou Duoduo quickly shook his head. He didn't want others to share his performance with him: "No need!"
Zhu Mingqing thought about it and called Luo Tian over: "Xiaotian's reward will not be paid from your account, so you really don't need help?"
Hearing this, Dou Duoduo immediately looked at Luo Tian with a smile: "Xiaotian, right? Come, let me test your skills."
A quarter of an hour later, Dou Duoduo stopped.
He patted Luo Tian's body, then said to Zhu Mingqing, "That's right, I understand Madam's intentions. I will definitely bring the child back safely."
Although it is a bit troublesome to bring a child with you on a mission, it is the master's intention after all.
Don't refuse it yet. When we get to Zhending, let the child wait in the inn.
Wait until he finishes his work and then the child comes back.
…
The second day of the full moon banquet.
Luo Huai touched the booklet on his chest. Although he didn't know where his mother got it from, with this thing, he was one step closer to severely punishing the prefect Liang.
Before dawn, he led his men quietly out of the city.
Dou Duoduo and Luo Tian followed closely behind.
Watching the figure gradually go away, Fen Tao stood behind Zhu Mingqing and said.
"Madam, let's go back. The Wuxing guards should have arrived."
After returning home, Zhu Mingqing went straight to the side courtyard and said straight to the point: "If Guard Wu has anyone with strong martial arts skills, please feel free to recommend them to me, but the prerequisite is that they cannot be of bad character and kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Wu Xing immediately thought of someone in his mind and felt a little conflicted.
"Guard Wu, please feel free to speak up," said Zhu Mingqing.
Wu Xing said in one breath: "I have a friend who has been wandering around the world. Some time ago, he was falsely accused of murder and has been hiding recently. Madam, don't worry, I can guarantee that this person is not a bad person. He must have been wrongly accused."
When Wu Xing reminded him, a name suddenly popped up in Zhu Mingqing's mind.
She asked, "What's your name?"
"Li Yunfei." Wu Xing said in a low voice.
really.
Another tragic figure.
