Chapter 205 Punishment
It was already late at night. Under the reflection of the candlelight, Qian Yuan sat silently in a strange and awkward position on the edge of the bed, holding his mother's outstretched hand in one hand, and shaking a palm fan with the other hand to fan the mother.
After Qian Yuan was abducted by Japanese pirates, Qian Zheng and Gu Chengzhi followed Yang Wen and Xu Wei for thousands of miles to pursue him. The Tan family, who was kept in the dark, was soon discovered. The reason was very simple. Her son was her only one now, and all her hopes. Three days later, Lu had to tell the truth.
Since then, Tan has tossed and turned in pain every day, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue for a long time every night to pray devoutly.
After Qian Zheng sent someone to send back the safety news, Tan set off immediately. Lu was really worried and followed him. He left Huang's family through Hangzhou and his younger sister in the food garden. He only brought a few guards, two mothers and two maids to Nanjing.
Seeing his safe and sound son, Tan's tight string did not immediately tuck his head, and pulled his son and chattered endlessly. He lay on the bed and stretched out his hand to pull his son, for fear that he would not be able to see him if he closed his eyes.
After talking for a long time, Tan fell asleep unknowingly, but Qian Yuan did not leave. The right hand of the fan was shaking his fan was slow but never stopped. A smile appeared on his face that appeared at some point.
Lu, who was outside the door, felt at the same time peaceful and a little sad when he watched this scene. Although his sister-in-law lost her father and son, she had a filial young son. Compared to this, she did not have such blessings.
"Ahem."
Qian Yuan, who heard the coughing sound and was afraid of disturbing his mother's sleep, frowned and turned to look, his eyes sharp and cold. The murderous aura that had been suppressed in his heart for several months made Lu, who had been outside the door chill.
Compared with half a year ago, Qian Yuan has lost his lazy and elegant appearance on the surface, and has a hint of sharp edge, like a half-drawn sword, which is extremely eye-catching.
"Auntie." Qian Yuan walked out slowly and asked softly: "Thank you, my uncle, for accompanying my mother on this trip. My nephew is very grateful..."
"Does the family have to say two families?" Lu said angrily: "What's your business."
Qian Yuan looked back at the inner room where there was no movement and walked a few steps out, "Walking all the way, my uncle should rest first?"
"Well, let's go back now." Lu nodded, "This house is a bit small. We will have to live in Nanjing for at least one month. Tomorrow I will call a tooth to ask and change to a big house."
Qian Yuan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's leave it here for the guards, let's move it, just choose someone that's enough to live in."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements. Just concentrate on preparing for the exam." Lu hesitated for a while, looked out, and whispered: "After all, I've followed you a long time ago. Although I made a mistake, don't punish you too much."
"What?"
"He made great arrangements along the way and served me attentively..." Lu looked at Qian Yuan with a confused look in surprise, "It's the guard named Liu, who is still kneeling outside the side door."
"Liu Hong..."
The scene a few months ago flashed in front of his eyes, but Qian Yuan recalled the first scene where he was grabbed by the Japanese pirates and Liu Hong rushed over in a crazy manner, but the scene where Liu Hong was cut off by the Japanese pirates in the battle of Longchuan.
Outside the side door, Liu Hong, one-armed, still knelt on the ground and refused to get up. He was seriously injured in the battle of Longchuan. He stayed in Longchuan Village for more than two months and finally saved his life and came back.
After that, he returned to She County silently, escorted the Tan family and his group to Hangzhou, and then to Nanjing, and worked hard along the way.
"Crack."
The door is open.
Qian Yuan looked at Liu Hong's empty left sleeve, hummed and walked around to the back, stretched out his toes and kicked Liu Hong's bent back, "Straight up."
Liu Hong immediately straightened his back and whispered, "Young Master..."
Qian Yuan said coldly: "Nine people were killed in front and back guards, seven were injured, and three of them were disabled... You saved your life and came back."
Liu Hong suddenly looked up, "Young Master, I'm not afraid..."
"If you are not afraid of death, you will not stand up in Longchuan's battle." Qian Yuan witnessed the battle with his own eyes in the rapeseed field. If Liu Hong had not been at the forefront to stop the Japanese pirates for a moment, Yang Wen might not have had time to gather the guards and form a formation of wolves. Once they were killed by the Japanese pirates, everyone would not have escaped.
"Remember, you still have nine lives on your back." Qian Yuan kicked Liu Hong in the knee and turned around and asked, "But the state has national laws, and the family has family rules..."
After a pause, Qian Yuan looked at Yang Wen and Wang Yi who followed him, "Tell me, how to punish me?"
Yang Wen hesitated and said, "Sign up a contract for selling your body?"
"The young master will definitely be in a high position in the future. This kind of contract for selling... many people are willing to spend money to buy it!" Wang Yi sneered.
Yang Wen's mouth moved. I still took advantage of my relationship two years ago?
Ignoring Yang Wen and Wang Yi's argument, Qian Yuan looked at Liu Hong, who was still kneeling on the ground, and looked at the hope on Liu Hong's face.
To be fair, Liu Hong is responsible for the capture of Songmingshan, but objectively the main factor. Who would have thought that the Japanese pirates appeared in Huizhou, where there had never been any Japanese pirates, and who would have thought that Xu Wei was drunk and wanted to turn back and draw his sword... The accident was the main reason for Qian Yuan's capture.
"First, the nine brothers who died and the two disabled brothers have double pensions, one I pay, and the other you pay, you pay, and you pay for their family."
"Yes." Liu Hong nodded vigorously.
"Second, I will pay a piece of silver for..." Qian Yuan turned his head, waved his hand to calm down before continuing: "You are responsible for the villages near Jingde County, Jing County, and Nanling County of Ningguo Prefecture."
Liu Hong looked up and saw the twisted expression on Qian Yuan's face, opened his mouth and finally nodded.
A native of the Ming Dynasty rarely had such emotions, and an ordinary person who traveled through time in the modern era rarely had such emotions, but for Qian Yuan, who was a criminal policeman in his previous life...
No matter what the reason is, whether he finally killed the Japanese pirates completely, he was injured by the Japanese pirates during that period, explored the way for the Japanese pirates, and purchased supplies for the Japanese pirates... This is where he could not forgive himself deep in his heart.
Although Qian Yuan never regrets or feels guilty, he will never forget the hardworking farmers in the village, the elderly who enjoy their old age, the children who play in the fields, and the burning flames.
Although Yang Wen, Wang Yi, and Liu Hong may not be able to understand, Qian Yuan felt that as a time traveler, some things cannot be integrated into this era and some things need to be kept in his heart.
"This is done, let's talk about the ones behind." Qian Yuan kicked Liu Hong for the third time, "Get up."
Yang Wen rushed up to help Liu Hong up. Wang Yi rubbed his knees hard and muttered: "That is, the young master is soft-hearted, change the master... If you don't chop you up, you will be like you."
Qian Yuan, who was about to enter the door, turned around and pointed at Wang Yi and scolded, "If it weren't for your order, Liu Hong would kneel at the side door until so late!"
Qian Yuan felt a clear mind. Wang Yi was in charge of everything inside and outside the house. Liu Hong knelt outside the side door for several hours, but he didn't even report it. It was probably Wang Yi's idea.
