Chapter 17



Chapter 17

You are a nice person.

If there is anything unclear, Gu Duo always asks on the spot, but today he couldn't help but think about that old woman, so he was rarely silent all the way.

Wang Yu was a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to confess: "Then what, I just made a bet with Lao Zhou."

"Bet on me?" Gu Duo asked strangely, "What can I bet on, which foot to step out first?"

"No." Wang Yu said, "Just... bet if you feel uncomfortable seeing that old man."

When he said this, Wang Yu himself thought it was shabby, and felt that it was not personal.Thinking back, there was nothing out of line in those few words just now, why did he suddenly explode.

Fortunately, he is a dull person, so when he meets Gu Duo, who is so heartless, he can take it easy.

Just now, as soon as Gu Duo entered the kitchen, Zhou Zhishan asked Wang Yu, "You two have a good relationship on weekdays and are always together, why are you so awkward today? The little general is ignorant, so you are fussing over him?"

Wang Yu's voice was a bit muffled: "It's not like he doesn't understand everything. He listened to the person who disappeared three years ago, just like listening to me tell a story."

Zhou Zhishan said lightly: "The prince is fascinated by the authorities, and you are also fascinated? Is it because of his appearance, or because of three years ago?"

In the First World War three years ago, most of the Beibei Army was lost, and Dongyang City was miserable like a purgatory on earth.Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, but Yu Zhihong lost his love and never recovered from it. No one regained his strength. These old things weighed heavily on his heart, not only did not fade with time, but became a weakness that could not be poked.

Especially seeing "Lu Xiaoqi" who "exactly has the same face as the old brother", many people are discussing in private, making up strange and chaotic statements, trying to come up with "those who died, maybe they are still alive." "Conclusion, let's talk about comfort.

"Xiao Gu is a member of the Wulin League. The prince asked me to go to the south of the Yangtze River three years ago. I have checked everything that needs to be investigated." Zhou Zhishan paused, and changed the topic, "You can't chase the past, but look at the people in front of you. I think so Well, the little general is not as heartless as you think. For example, the one inside, if he sees him, he will feel uncomfortable."

This guy is a gambler, often betting small money with others in private.He raised a finger and said with a smile: "I bet he can be touched. Just bet a penny, dare you?"

Without even thinking about it, Wang Yu agreed casually, but the result was obviously lost.

After listening to this explanation, Gu Duo was really shocked by the boredom of these two: Come to the kitchen, if you have the time to make a bet, you might as well steal a piece of cake from next door!

Wang Yu scratched his hair: "Sorry, I thought too much just now."

"It's quite a lot." Gu Duo took the opportunity, and instead of being polite, he took the opportunity to say, "If you are really embarrassed, I have a way. Next time, you will pay for me to buy wine Take half of it?"

Wang Yu felt sorry for even a penny, so he didn't feel guilty at the time, and started to fight with Gu Duo very embarrassedly.

As a result, just after two moves, he ran into Yu Zhihong.The two people who had been wrestling with each other stopped immediately and stood up separately, like children being caught by their parents for misbehaving.

Yu Zhihong glanced indifferently, and said to Gu Duo, "Come with me."

Wang Yu was "lucky to escape", patted Gu Duo on the shoulder gloatingly, left him with Yu Zhihong, and slipped away by himself.

Gu Duo took advantage of the gap between his body and grabbed Wang Yu's waist, grabbing out the smile that was pent up in his throat.

Yu Zhihong didn't say a word, and when Gu Duo was done, he turned around and led the way.Gu Duo threw another punch at Wang Yu, before trotting two steps to keep up.

It was already morning, and the cavalry and infantry had already lined up outside, and the packed supplies and food were being loaded into the carts, and they were about to leave the camp.Yu Zhihong led the way, instead of going to the gate of the barracks, he went to the side road and boarded the carriage parked by the side of the road.

Gu Duo was belatedly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and Yu Zhihong was so serious that he even forgot the embarrassment in the morning.

The driver was Zhang Quan. There was a small table in the carriage with several books stacked on top of it. On the top was an open book with strings of numbers written on it. I don't know what it was.

Gu Duo thought wildly: "He suddenly opened up the eight extraordinary meridians, is he going to kill me?"

When Wang Yu said that someone was looking for relatives, Yu Zhihong thought there was something wrong with it, and it turned out that he was looking for someone who disappeared in the northern border three years ago.

That brother is lively, always drinks with Gu Duo, and has made it clear about his family situation - no father or mother, alone, and has not found a wife for the time being - it is clear that he is a liar.

The old lady arrived last night, and her family lives in a nearby village.Wang Yu sent someone to inquire overnight, and before dawn, he got a reply: It's not a complete lie, but it's a little bit of relative, he's a distant relative of that brother's hometown.

Her husband died early, and she raised three children alone, and the family barely made ends meet.

A few days ago, the youngest son of this family suddenly became seriously ill, and the doctors in the village could not cure him.

The old woman was grateful and did not know how to repay.The famous doctor "understands others" clearly marked the price, asking for five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver are five copper coins, and counting one by one, you can find five thousand from one.

In the capital, find an ordinary steamed stuffed bun shop for breakfast, and you can eat steamed stuffed buns and porridge for one penny, and get a plate of small pickles for free; ten pennies is enough for two people to have a lunch, and you can order a piece of meat at a fly restaurant with enough rice. One vegetable; one tael of silver is the monthly expenses of many people.

The old lady was already so poor that she had to dig through her fingers for copper coins, let alone so many.

The "famous doctor" gave her some advice: she had a distant nephew who went to the army and died on the battlefield.The imperial court was unwilling to give the money, so it was recorded as missing and dragged on.It just so happened that the army was going to pass nearby, so she could block the way to ask for it.

The old man is not an ungrateful person. The benefactor is in need and asks the "dog officer" for money, so she is obliged to come.

People who can find trouble like Yu Zhihong in Daqi, except His Royal Highness King Rui, don't have to think about him.Yu Zhihong used to think about what his big brother wanted to do and what he wanted, but now he didn't bother to think about it, and he just saw his tricks.

Seeing that Gu Duo looked strange, no matter what he was thinking, he must be thinking wildly and crookedly, so he said bluntly: "This is the account book, from the southern border garrison to the northern army, all military expenses are included in it, You look first."

——The one that King Rui arranged beside him was nothing more than "Lu Xiaoqi".Although this move is enough to distract Yu Zhihong, it can't be called perfect, because this "chess piece" doesn't have the talent to be a traitor, so it's really hard to control.

What Yu Zhihong has to do is to use this chess piece as much as possible for his own use.

Gu Duo picked up the top one and flipped through two pages. Apart from the military camp, he also had to fire and cook, and the food costs a lot, so he basically didn't understand anything. He changed a new one, and the situation was similar.

Yu Zhihong explained to him: "Most of the armaments are issued by the imperial court, but maintenance and some cold weapons, such as ordinary arrows, are purchased by each army. Pensions for casualties and annual subsidies are also included in the register."

Gu Duo felt dizzy: "Do I still need to learn to read the ledger?"

"Uh..." Yu Zhihong couldn't help but laugh, "That's not what it means."

Gu Duo turned his mind and turned in the right direction: "Then you show me this... Oh, I understand, it's because of today's incident?"

Yu Zhihong said: "Yes. If you have any questions today, you can ask me."

Gu Duo especially adhered to the principle of "Winners have their heads, and debts have their owners." Zhou Zhishan told him about it, so he thought that he should go to Zhou Zhishan sometime and ask him about it.

This would tell Yu Zhihong that he would not refuse, but it was better to be comfortable talking to others, and to accept gags, and shorten many questions into one sentence: "Yes. I think that old man is very strange."

Yu Zhihong is not a person who is good at words, he is more used to building an army on the battlefield than to win over his confidants.Fortunately, Gu Duo doesn't need words to confront each other, he just needs to clarify the matter: "Well, her identity was fabricated and she was instructed by others. What did she tell you?"

Gu Duo said: "There's nothing... Wait, she thinks it's too much money and wants to return me a piece of silver. No wonder she thinks it's too much, she's here to cheat money?"

Yu Zhihong looked out the window, with a slightly self-deprecating tone: "Then she may not be doing her duty well. She should have told you that I embezzled military expenses, exploited soldiers, and withheld pension money."

Gu Duo was startled: "You wronged someone so much, did you provoke your enemies?"

What he said was too straightforward, Yu Zhihong asked back: "Don't you doubt me?"

Without even thinking about it, Gu Duo shook his head directly: "I don't doubt it, you are quite a nice person."

The author says:

Q: Mr. Yu, what do you think of this good person card?

Yu Zhihong: Q: What about Mr. Gu?

Gu Duo: What's the point of this? Are other people not good?

(Let us congratulate Mr. Yu Zhihong, and I would like to mention two good person cards——)

In the previous chapter, a little detail typo was changed, but the plot remained unchanged——
