Chapter 2394 The Xu Family’s Reward
Shu Yu followed a few people inside and nodded, "Yes..."
Before he finished speaking, a familiar and ecstatic voice suddenly came from outside, "Someone is coming from the Yamen, someone is coming from the Yamen, Manager Yu, come out quickly."
Shu Yu paused and turned his head to look in the direction of the door, "It seems to be, Shu Quan?"
Aunt Fang whispered, "It's him. Since the two adults in the village left, Shu Quan has been running to the county government office every day, squatting outside the government office to inquire about news, and waiting for the court to reward him for his merits. At this moment..."
She suddenly paused in the middle of her words, widened her eyes and said in astonishment, "What did Shu Quan just say? Someone came from the Yamen. Is there an order from the imperial court?"
Shu Yu smiled, "I guess, let's go and have a look."
Qi Lie hadn't been gone for long, so he was probably still on the road now. But the report on what happened in the southwest and what happened was submitted early. The rewards for those who have made great contributions can be negotiated slowly. For example, Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng, they probably won't know until next year.
But the rewards for people like Shu Quan are much easier to handle and can be sorted out easily.
But Shu Yu didn't expect that this decree would come so quickly. Before they left, the document was sent to the county government office.
Several people turned around and walked out of the door, just in time to see Shu Quan running over like crazy.
Seeing Shu Yu, he stopped hastily, but his face could not conceal his joy, "Lu Shuyu? You are here too."
Shu Yu glanced at him, then looked away and looked at the carriage coming behind him.
The carriage stopped a few steps away. Wang Changdong helped the county magistrate get out and walked steadily to Shu Yu.
"The County Lord and Mr. Meng are also here, what a coincidence." The County Magistrate said cheerfully, "The Emperor's decree has arrived, and it is about Xu Dali and the others. By the way, there is also one about the Wei family. County Lord I think I care a lot.”
Shu Yu was surprised, "About my cousin?"
Wei Qin, who came with Shu Yu, was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly walked out from behind, "Me?"
"Yes." The county magistrate smiled and told Manager Yu, "Call all the villagers who participated in the capture of the rebels in Zhengdao Village this time. I want to read out the imperial edict."
"Yes, sir." Manager Yu hurriedly asked the people in Zhuangzi to find the person separately.
Xu Dali, Aunt Fang and Shu Quan both ran home respectively. Only then did Manager Yu welcome the county magistrate, Shu Yu and others into Zhuangzi.
After just a cup of tea, several families came over one after another. At the same time, there were also many villagers who had heard the news. They were all lying outside the door, looking inside curiously.
When the magistrate saw several families arriving, he glanced around, nodded, stood up and read out the imperial edict.
The first one mentioned was Xu Dali's family. Xu Zhensheng had the greatest credit. He stabbed Yuan Ye directly, causing Liu Jie and the others to be in chaos. They left most of their accomplices to escape alone. Because Yuan Ye was injured, he was anxious to get out. He threw himself into a trap and was captured by Meng Yunzheng and others. In the end, Yuan Ye was used to force back the deputy general who took over the garrison, minimizing his own losses and avoiding chaos in the city.
Not only that, Xu Dali also deserves credit for providing a list of suspects in Zhengdao Village.
"...I will now pardon the sentence of exile for the three members of the Xu family, reward them with a hundred taels of silver, restore their place of origin, and return their family property. Xu Zhensheng is young and promising, and has extraordinary courage. After returning to Beijing, he can go to Dali Temple to report and follow orders."
