Chapter 311: Shocked to hear about the sale of the official

"What's wrong?"

Li Qingan walked out of the gate and shouted sternly. More than a dozen personal soldiers rushed up immediately, guarding him from both sides, and staring at the uninvited guests vigilantly.

"We ask to meet General Li Qing'an!"

A man in his fifties said timidly when he saw that Li Qing'an had a noble status and did not know his background.

"I am Li Qing'an. What are you asking me for?"

It was said that the person who came was Li Qing'an. These mourned men and women immediately broke out. They rushed forward and knelt together, snatching and crying, "General, we are wronged! Wrongful!"

"Everyone is quiet! Be quiet!"

The personal guard commander Jiang Xiaonian roared and everyone finally calmed down. Seeing the words "Dead Husband Zhao Xing" written on the coffin, Li Qingan suddenly felt that the name looked familiar and seemed to have seen it somewhere, so he asked, "Tell me! What's wrong with it?"

A young woman kneeling took two steps with her knees and crawled in front of Li Qing'an and cried and said sadly: "General, my husband is the commander of the Hanhai military."

This sentence made Li Qingan suddenly remember that Zhao Yan was indeed the Han Haijun, because there were very few people named Yan, which left a deep impression on him.

Li Qing'an's tone immediately became softer, "Tell me! What happened?"

Zhao Ying was actually dead. He knew that Han Hai army was participating in the attack on the Uighurs, and it was normal for him to die. However, he was a little surprised. Cui Qianyou should have not retreated yet. How did these families know that, and he actually ran from Beiting to Shuye, he was confused.

Seeing that the young woman was almost fainting when she cried, he comforted her and said, "There will always be deaths when fighting in the army. Don't worry, your husband will have pensions, and we will arrange your life."

The young woman was even more sad and couldn't say a word. A man next to her shouted anxiously: "Wenniang, stop crying, talk quickly!"

The young woman has been here for three consecutive days to complain about her. Today she finally met Li Qing'an. She also knew that the opportunity was rare, so she restrained her crying and said intermittently: "General, my husband died of suicide, not of battle."

"Suicide?" Li Qingan was stunned. He immediately said to his left and right: "Take them in and ask in detail!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the yamen.

In the conference room, the young woman knelt in front of Li Qing'an and finally told her grievances.

"The general, the slave family and husband are both immigrants who moved from Guanzhong and live in Jinman County. Her husband joined the army five years ago and has been serving in the Hanhai Army. Two months ago, he suddenly went home to visit relatives and said that as long as he raised 600 guan, he could be promoted to lieutenant. In order to raise 600 guan, our family sold all the land, houses and all valuable things. It was not enough. He also borrowed 400 guan. He took the money. Our family was waiting for him to be promoted. We could wait for a month, but we got the news of his death. The army said that he was killed, but his friend quietly told us that my husband did not die in battle, but committed suicide."

Li Qingan's face turned pale. There was something to spend money to buy an official in his army. This was the first time he heard that he restrained his anger and asked, "So you continue, why did your husband commit suicide?"

"General, his friend said that he gave the superior six hundred stale money, but he was not on the list of promoted lieutenants. He went to the superior to argue, but the superior denied the receipt of the money and beat him hard. He was so angry that he... it was over."

Speaking of this, the young woman lay on the ground and cried loudly, "My husband is dead and still owes a lot of debts. How do I pay it back?"

Li Qing'an felt murderous intent in his heart and said word by word: "Tell me what is the person above?"

"I don't know the specific name, but I heard it is the highest commander of their Hanhai Army."

The Hanhai Army's envoy was Nan Jiyun, but more than a month ago, he went to war with Cui Ganyou. It should not be his turn to do this. The highest commander of the Hanhai Army left behind was the deputy envoy Pugu Huaien. Could it be that he would not be?

Li Qing'an slowly calmed down and said to the young woman: "Don't worry, the Anxi army has strict military discipline and will never allow such a thing to happen. I will immediately send the military discipline supervision team to Beiting to investigate the matter. I will definitely give you an explanation."

He waved to a personal soldier and pointed at the young woman and said, "Arrang her a place to eat and board, and there are also people who come with her, let's arrange it together."

The young woman thanked her for leaving. Li Qing'an walked back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back, and was extremely angry. Although it was common for buying and selling officials in the army, it was the first time he heard that he had to investigate this matter to the end!

In Li Qing'an's mansion, Dugu Mingyue walked through a bamboo forest and came to a quiet courtyard. This was Wuyi's residence. Although Mingyue and Wuyi came all the way west, the two were together in a carriage day and night, and went west thousands of miles away, which also brought the distance between them. Mingyue began to gradually understand Wuyi, a noble and arrogant person. Her childhood misfortune made her self-esteem extremely sensitive, and she would offend her if she was not careful when speaking.

But on the other hand, she is very good by nature and is very simple. She never disdains to do things that hurt people by secretly arrows. More importantly, she has no intention of competing with her for the position of a wife and wife, which has relieved Mingyue. Moreover, this dance dress is very favored by Li Qing'an, which makes Mingyue sometimes give her some points.

A few days later, Pugu Huaien and his daughter visited the mansion and mentioned the matter of learning art. Although Mingyue no longer wanted to agree, if she didn't tell Wuyi about this, it might lead to another storm.

As soon as I passed through the bamboo forest, I heard the sound of playing the piano, and there seemed to be a poetic laugh. This made Mingyue smile bitterly. Although the sisters Rusi Ruhua looked exactly the same, their temperaments were very different. One was quiet and gentle, and the other was passionate and unrestrained. Ruhua and her sister Mingzhu were a couple, and they rode horses everywhere to play all day, without any shadows.

Thinking of her sister, Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little worried. Her sister is already seventeen years old this year, but she always looks like a young lady who never grows up. She makes her blind dates fail repeatedly. She seems to have no intention of getting married at all, but Mingyue vaguely feels that her sister seems to have a little affection for Qing'an. Especially after the last time she fell into the water in the village, her eyes looked at Qing'an different. Mingyue sighed and was helpless. She knew that her parents would never allow such a thing to happen, but what can she do? Send her back soon!

As soon as Mingyue walked into the yard, the maid Yunu in the dance clothes hurriedly said, "Madam is here!"

The sound of the piano in the room stopped abruptly, and Wuyi was only heard laughing and saying, "Is it Sister Mingyue? Come in quickly."

"It's me, Sister Wuyi, I've disturbed you playing the piano."

Mingyue smiled and pushed the door into the room. Rushi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to her, "Madam!"

"Rushi's piano is getting better and better. I almost thought it was played by Wuyi just now."

"Thank you, Mrs., for the compliment."

"Come on! Sit down."

Mingyue pulled Rushi and sat down. Wuyi smiled and said, "Looking at your appearance, are you looking for me?"

"A guest visit today may have something to do with you."

Mingyue said the story of Pugu’s mother and daughter wanting to learn the piano and said, “I did not agree to this matter, nor did I refuse. After all, they wanted to come to you to learn the piano, so I want to ask for your opinion first.”

Although Wuyi is arrogant, she is not an isolated person. On the contrary, her sensitivity is far more than that of ordinary people. She also understands some human feelings, but she disdains to do it. Pugu and his daughter want to come to learn the piano. As a housewife, Mingyue can make the decision, agree or refuse, but she did not do that, but came to solicit her own opinions. This shows her caution in doing things, which touched Wuyi a little.

She lowered her head and thought for a while and asked, "What do you mean?"

Mingyue smiled and said, "I mean it's best to ask Qing'an about this. I always feel that their mothers come with a purpose. If Qing'an doesn't object, then it's up to you to decide. What do you think?"

Wuyi nodded, "Just do what you want. If Qing'an doesn't object, I want to see that servant Guyu. If I meet my requirements, I can accept her as my disciple."

They chatted for a while. At this time, Wuyi remembered something and pointed to the maid Yu Nu at the door, and said to Mingyue: "Yu Nu has been with me since she was a child. We have been dependent on each other for ten years, and we are like sisters. She is already nineteen years old this year. I want her to marry a good family. Can Sister Mingyue help me in this matter?"

Mingyue glanced at Yu Nu and saw that she was listening to the conversation with her ears, and then smiled and said, "Being a matchmaker is also one of my hobbies, and this matter is included in me."

Mingyue looked at the sky and stood up and said, "Okay, I guess Qing'an is coming back, so I'll go first."

Mingyue took Rushi away, and Yu Nu immediately knelt in front of Wuyi and cried, "Miss, do you want me to go out?"

"What are you saying? I'm for your own good, don't you understand?"

Yu Nu burst into tears and shook her head and said, "I don't want to get married. I just want to be with the girl. I beg the girl not to drive me away."

Wuyi was also a little sad. She helped Yu Nu up and said with a forced smile: "Men is married when they are old, and women are married when they are old. You are not young anymore. You are nineteen years old this year, and women can get married when they are sixteen years old. Do you also want to get married just like me and not be twenty-one?"

Yu Nu felt even more sad. She choked and said, "I am willing to be a concubine for the master. As long as I am with the girl, I have nothing to ask for."

"Be a concubine?" Wuyi sneered and said, "I am already young. Do I still want my sister to be a concubine? Don't say you want to be a concubine for the master. Even if the master wants you, I won't give it to you. I have decided to find a innocent family for you and let you marry into a grandma."

"Girl, I don't want to..."

"Don't say it, I've decided on this."
