This banquet was not only a successful social event, but also a fundraising gathering.

The banquet had a magnificent scene, exquisite food and good tea.

There is also the blessing dance of the fairy children that can cleanse people's souls.

All of this has made people enthusiastic about promoting the upcoming fundraising event.

Just wait until the eleventh day of the eleventh lunar month.

Everyone expressed that they would actively participate and donate generously!

As the event progressed, people from all walks of life in Beijing attached great importance to it.

Even the Queen Mother came out to say that such activities can not only raise funds for charity, but also awaken the kindness and sense of merit in people's hearts.

Very good!

And this grand banquet is full of love and warmth.

People have demonstrated through their actions what a philanthropic spirit is, and have been praised by all sides...

None of this has anything to do with Qin Qiong.

Because she was still in a small village not far from Ji'an Town.

Angry!

Why are you angry?

Because Xiaoyan took away all the banknotes she took out from the Xian family!

Not a single one was left for her!

She's going to be so angry!

It’s too bullying!

She was so angry that she decided not to go back to the capital to watch the event.

This small village belongs to the Zhao family.

There was only an old servant inside.

Now, besides the two of them, Tingyu and Mosang have also arrived.

"Xiao Qiong, are you still angry?"

"Yes, don't be angry, the young master is worried about you."

Qin Qiong somersaulted and jumped high.

"He's worried about me? Worried that I'm not mad to death! Tell him I'm dead!"

"Don't ask for his mercy! I won't accept it!"

She remained in this mood until they had dinner.

Several people lowered their heads and ate for a long time.

Ting Yu whispered again.

"We, we belong to the young master..."

Xiao Qiong looked up at him and said, "Just try and say we are just servants."

Tingyu didn't dare to speak.

After a while, Mo Sang asked her hesitantly.

"So, are we still going as planned?"

Xiao Qiong put down her chopsticks.

"I really... deserve it"

Qin Qiong waved the chopsticks in her hand angrily.

"Just wait, sooner or later, I will let him know why the flowers are so red!"

"..."

Tingyu and Mosang looked at each other and immediately lowered their heads to eat.

The old servant of the Zhao family seemed not to hear anything and continued to eat quietly.

That night, they drove the carriage out of the village again.

"In a few days, the government will come."

Qin Qiong said to the old man: "Just say you know nothing. Later, when you go to class, just say it was all arranged by your son. You still know nothing."

"Understood, don't worry, girl."

"possible……"

Qin Qiong thought about it.

"We are not sure who will preside over the trial yet. You may be tortured at that time. You..."

"Haha... Just like the girl said, I don't know anything, it's useless to kill me."

The old man smiled.

Qin Qiong looked at the old man with some pity.

The elderly are very important in their plan.

Originally, if this old man was greedy for money and afraid of death, it would be easy to deal with him, just kill him.

But he is just an old man.

What do you think we should do with someone who is loyal to the Zhao family?

"possible……"

"Don't worry, girl. My body can't take a beating. I might die in one blow. That's better. There will be no evidence."

The old man said with a smile.

"I am an old servant of the Zhao family. The master said that this farm is for my old age. The young master will collect my body, so you don't have to worry."

Qin Qiong looked at him and suddenly felt like crying.

"You guys... are so nice to your young master."

"As it should be. When the master was alive, he saved many people. We were all saved by him. Now we can't do anything, so..."

He knelt down in front of Qin Qiong and the others.

"I beg you to seek justice for our Zhao family! Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

……

On the rugged road heading southwest, several carriages were moving rapidly.

Sitting in the first carriage was a coachman with a serious expression. He kept waving the whip in his hand, urging the carriage to speed up.

The cars in the middle followed the car in front closely.

However, if you look closely, you will find that there seems to be no one driving the car.

There was a young man on horseback guarding the convoy.

In the last car sat a person whose entire body was covered by a curtain.

Along the way, they were silent, but their eyes revealed a kind of urgency and nervousness.

They have been traveling day and night for several days.

During the day, the sun is scorching hot; at night, the moon is dim and gloomy.

However, no matter it was scorching sun or cold night, they dared not slow down.

I was exhausted from the journey.

Qin Qiong and his men ran straight to the southwest.

It was not until the third station that they saw the person they were waiting for.

The other team was led by General Xiaoli's guard with a disabled hand, Wang Bo.

He had obviously been waiting here for a long time.

After seeing Qin Qiong and the others from a distance, they were so excited that they were jumping and dancing on the road.

……

Qin Qiong once asked Xiaoyan, what happened to General Li after the Wu Kingdom was destroyed?

Xiaoyan said that General Li was stationed in the southwest. After the country was destroyed, all the prefectures sent people to surrender.

He's just more miserable.

What a cruel method?

"I heard that he died because of a mutiny among his subordinates. I don't know whether he died of anger or illness."

"All I know is that General Xiaoli returned to the capital alone, taking his mother and siblings back to his hometown, and there has been no news since then."

"so……"

Qin Qiong thought for a while and asked, "This marriage didn't take place."

"Ah?" Xiaoyan.

……

Wang Bo was accompanied by more than twenty soldiers.

These people look to be in their forties, with a weathered look on their faces.

They are all people who have experienced a lot of hardships.

At this moment, each of them had a smile on their face and hope in their eyes.

When he saw the convoy behind Qin Qiong and his group, he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

Qin Qiong followed them into the post station and had just sat down for a while when Wang Bo brought in a soldier who looked like a scholar and was holding a pile of account books in his hands.

"This is our chief inspector, also Fa Suan, he is..."

Wang Bo wanted to explain the identity of this commander to Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong waved his hand to stop him.

"No need to introduce, I don't want to know his name either. You don't need to know my name either, you just need to know that these are what General Li asked you to do."

The man was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed his head.

"Yes, that's all I know. I'm just following orders. I don't know anything else."

"Okay, let me see the book."

The man immediately handed over the notebook in his hand.

"These are the figures of the military pay owed to our officers and soldiers over the years, with detailed names and amounts."

He thought about it and said.

"And you said...it was the Marshal who said that the military pay for the first half of next year should be paid first, so we set up a separate account."

"actually"

At this time, Wang Bo continued, "Actually, there is no need... there is no need to issue half a year's payment first. We trust the general. We just need to make up for the debts from previous years."

"Yes, yes," the man echoed.

Qin Qiong waved his hand.

"General Li's words are orders. Don't you want to disobey them?"

Several people looked at each other.

They all became serious and immediately raised their hands to return the greeting.

"Yes! I'll obey your orders!"
