Chapter 223 Magical Settlement
But on the way here, she thought it through again.
Thinking about the attitude of the woman just now, as well as their attire and the way they spoke, they didn't look like bad people at all.
She looks more like a maid in a wealthy family.
Moreover, although the two men were also armed with swords, they were still gentle and polite to others.
Such a person doesn't look like a bad person at all.
That's why Aunt Huang persuaded the two of them to go out and take a look. After all, they didn't want to miss any news about Da Niu.
Hearing this, Xie Hongzhen finally sighed and walked towards the door.
At this time, she herself knew that no matter what she said, her granddaughter would probably not listen.
I don't know why she is so stubborn?
At the village gate, no matter how many people Caiyue and Zeng Zhaoming asked, the news they got was that Huang Chunhua was ill.
But when they asked Huang Chunhua for her home address, no one told them.
It is understandable if one or two people say this, but it would be very strange if eight or ten people did so.
If she really died, wouldn't it be normal for them to go and pay their respects to her?
Why is it that when asked about their address, no one tells you?
It was obvious that the villagers regarded the two of them as people who were against them.
It is also possible that Man Jingzi had arrived at Qinglin Village before them.
Something bad has been done to them, and they have become defensive in their hearts.
"Do you think we look like bad guys?" Caiyue couldn't help but ask Zeng Zhaoming.
Zeng Zhaoming turned his head, glanced at Caiyue, and finally shook his head.
"Since they don't look like bad people, why don't they even want to tell us their address?" Caiyue asked again.
"I guess he was frightened by those people before."
After thinking about it, Zeng Zhaoming could only think of this excuse.
Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine what the reason was that caused them to be so anti-foreign.
Since they were able to rescue their own prince, it seems that the people in this village are not cold-blooded and heartless.
The reason why they are rejecting outsiders now is probably because they were scared by the last incident.
"What should we do now?" Caiyue asked again.
She wasn't sure whether Man Jingzi had come, but whether they could come or not, they couldn't go back now.
If Man Jingzi came, then they should not have succeeded in finding Huang Chunhua.
But if they hadn't come, it would be even less likely that they would leave now.
Once we leave, who can guarantee that nothing will happen to Qinglin Village?
You know, the people in this village are all unarmed villagers.
Even if Man Jingzi only sent one or two people, the people in this village would not be their match.
They have been wielding swords and guns all year round, so dealing with them is just a matter of a few casual swings of the sword.
They didn't dare to massacre the entire village, but it was easy to kill one or two people.
Especially Huang Chunhua.
At this time, Caiyue and the others were extremely certain that Huang Chunhua was definitely still alive.
It's just that they are wary of outsiders.
at the same time.
After Yu Mengqing and Chu Shiheng dealt with Lu Cunming's affairs in the yamen, they went to Lu Cunming's home.
But when I saw Lu Cunming's house, I was shocked.
His residence is so good that even the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity may not be as good as his, let alone the General's Mansion of Yu Mengqing and the others?
The people of the entire Lingshi County can be said to have suffered devastating losses, but what about Lu Cunming himself?
He is not satisfied with living in such a house and has repeatedly plundered the people's wealth. He is simply worse than an animal.
"Sister Mengqing, I think killing him like this is too easy for him." Guo Peiying said indignantly on the side.
Yu Mengqing on the side nodded without commenting.
Such a person deserves to die a thousand times.
Thinking of the people of Lingshi County, Yu Mengqing instructed Caiyun and the others:
"Please count all the valuables in this house and sell everything that can be sold. The money from the sales will be distributed to the villagers of Lingshi County."
"Okay, miss." After saying that, Caiyun took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone and started counting.
All of them were trained by Yu Mengqing personally, so they naturally have their own way of doing math.
As long as you write these things down, it will be much more convenient when you calculate.
The three of them worked together and it took them several hours to register the more valuable items in the house.
"Miss, please take a look." Caiyun placed the recorded account book in front of Yu Mengqing and said.
Yu Mengqing followed his instructions, held the account book in her eyes, and began to read it at a glance.
Everything here is written with a brush, and a page of paper is just a few numbers, so you can read it at a glance, right?
Moreover, those numbers are basically round and can be calculated mentally.
So Yu Mengqing read it out loud in front of everyone.
"Just these few rooms in the backyard cost six thousand four hundred and thirteen taels and five hundred and forty-one coins?" Yu Mengqing asked Caiyun.
The question stunned Caiyun.
Although the young lady taught them arithmetic herself, they still needed an abacus to assist them.
But no lady is so smart as to figure it out with just one glance, right?
Not only Caiyun was extremely surprised, but everyone else in the room was also surprised.
The account book was handed to Yu Mengqing in front of them, and she also looked at the account book in front of everyone.
How could it be figured out so quickly?
Especially Chu Shiheng, he was sitting next to Yu Mengqing.
To be honest, he had just looked at the account books with Yu Mengqing, but he was just looking at them.
I have never calculated how much silver is recorded in this account book.
"Sister Mengqing, the number you just mentioned refers to the total amount of money in this account book?" Guo Peiying asked in disbelief.
She now seriously suspected that Yu Mengqing might have just casually said a number.
But her numbers had beginnings and endings, and didn't sound like random talk.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Do you think I can just come up with a number at random?" Yu Mengqing asked back.
She didn't think she was that good at the arithmetic just now.
In her eyes, it was normal.
There are only a few numbers in the entire account book. Can't I just add them up mentally?
"I..." Guo Peiying wanted to say something, but she didn't know what else to say.
What she meant was that this was unlikely.
But seeing Yu Mengqing's as if it was a matter of course, she couldn't say these words no matter what.
