Chapter 844 The First Rural Martial Arts School Opens [3]

The rest of the Taifeng Town civilian team members looked at Uncle Qin, and seeing that this backbone did not make a fuss about leaving, they tacitly agreed to stay.

Qin Xiaogu, Xiao Jiang Erlang, Kang Lang, Luo Min, Shao Wei, Xie Nian, Xue Mingyi, Li Zhiyuan, Xiaobai, Huang Yanglong and others, even mountain villagers Mengzi, Wen Yang, Aunt Alan and others stayed.

"Come here and sign and put your fingerprints on it." Deputy General Zhen took out a confidential document and asked everyone to put their fingerprints on it. Then he left Captain Zhu and a hundred soldiers in the Noon Building.

Bang bang bang!

The three doors of the noon building were closed and sealed.

Nearly 600 people from several parties were locked up in the Noon Building.

This stage lasted for two days and two nights. It was not until the morning of the third day, when the accounts were checked and the drum was beaten inside to report, that Deputy General Zhen went to report to the Duke of Yan.

After receiving the handwritten letter from Duke Yan, he opened the door and went in, first controlling the people, then checking whether the account books were complete, and finally asking everyone to "sign and put their fingerprints on the books. If there are any problems with the accounts in the future, and the court wants to investigate, you must be summoned to cooperate with the court."

The same goes for the Taifeng Town civilian team. Although they did not participate in the settlement, they were witnesses present and could testify.

"Yes." Everyone lined up to sign and put their fingerprints.

After finishing, Deputy General Zhen said, "Duke Yan, Lord Yan, Lord Gu, and General Liang are already waiting for you in Chen Tower. Bring all the account books and follow me to Chen Tower to make a report."

At the command, hundreds of people went to Chen Tower.

The person who made the report this time was not Ying Zilin, but Lord Su from the Provincial Administration Commissioner's Office.

As the chief account checker, Lord Su said, "Duke Yan, Lord Yan, General Liang, and Lord Gu, in May of the third year of Wuxing in the Great Wei Dynasty, the total account of the materials donated by all walks of life to support the establishment of the Township Wutang has been completed by the scholars, officials, soldiers, and civilians, and the account is correct."

After saying this, he presented the general account book to the Duke of Yan.

Duke Fang of Yan, Lord Yan, Lord Gu, and General Fang of Liang checked the last few pages of the general ledger. After confirming that there were no mistakes, they signed, pressed their fingerprints, and stamped their seals.

"Lord Shi." Duke Yan called out.

Lord Shi went to check the account books in the box on the spot... It was very rigorous and tedious, and it took almost an hour to finish.

Finally, the documents they signed, including an original ledger, were sealed in boxes and escorted by soldiers to storage.

After the account books were escorted away, Lord Yan, Lord Gu, and General Liang did not stay long. They each took a complete copy of the account books and said goodbye and left.

There were a lot of account books, and each side was carried by several people.

"Dalang, bring your brothers to the Liang family army camp tomorrow. If you dare not come, you will be punished by military law!" Before leaving, General Liang gave Jiang Dalang a death order.

Jiang Dalang saluted and said, "Yes, I obey your command."

"Huang Xiaozi, Bai Xiaozi, and the mountain brothers, come too." General Liang invited them again.

Huang Yanglong wanted to die and didn't want to go to the Liang family army camp again.

Aunt Alan was very happy and saluted, saying, "Thank you, General Liang. We mountain people will definitely be there. We hope the Wei army brothers can give us some advice then!"

"Haha, good, you are worthy of being a heroine. Then let's have a competition between our two sides!" General Liang agreed readily.

Lord Gu was contemptuous in his heart. Ha, a mountain barbarian, and a woman at that. Liang actually let her enter the military camp. Isn't he afraid of bringing bad luck to the entire camp? !

All I can say is that he's a bit of an idiot.

Gu Chengyong cursed in his heart, but decided to take his son Gu Xuan to visit Liang’s army tomorrow... If his son could get along well with Jiang Dalang, maybe Xuan’er could be brought into Wuyuan by Jiang Dalang to meet Duke Yan.

Because Gu Xuan was angry and confronted Captain Fan when he moved back, he was excluded by Duke Yan and failed to attend the Dragon Boat Festival meeting. The Gu family lost face again.

And the Duke of Yan's move was to send a message to every family in the Northeast Province that His Majesty and he hated deserters and would not honor them, unless you know how to make up for your crime with merit!

After the adults left, Duke Yan rewarded Ying Zilin and other students: "Thank you for your hard work, this is the recommendation book of the Imperial College in the capital. With this recommendation book, you can study in the Imperial College for two years to improve your knowledge. If you don't need it, you can give it to others to make a good relationship for yourself."

This recommendation only gave them the opportunity to study at the Imperial Academy and build connections, but it did not allow them to take the imperial examination directly.

Those who are not Juren still have to take the provincial examination before they can be qualified to take the metropolitan examination.

And the Duke of Yan's final words gave the students another way out.

The students were extremely surprised and bowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Duke, for your generous reward!"

"Yes," Duke Yan nodded.

An Neijian came out sensibly and took the students away with a smile.

In the main hall on the first floor of Chen Tower, only the civilian team from Taifeng Town was left. In an instant, everyone didn't know what to do with their hands and feet.

Duke Yan smiled when he saw this. He didn't ask any questions, but just said, "Go on, watch carefully, observe carefully."

After saying this, he had them taken away.

Everyone was dizzy along the way, and it was not until they were almost back to their residence that they came to their senses: "Duke Yan spoke to us and asked us to observe carefully, right!"

The eldest brother of the Han family was so excited that he kept grabbing his relative Zhou Bantou.

Zhou Bantou's arm was pinched by him and it hurt: "Yes, yes, Duke Yan did talk to us, calm down, you are the future head of the Han family."

Patriarch Han did not come himself, but gave his place to his eldest son to come to the capital, in order to give the new patriarch of the Han family the honor of "having an audience with the Duke of Yan" and to continue the dignity of the Han family for another generation.

So, Boss Han, you better stay calm and don't lose the Han family.

"Don't blame the eldest nephew of the Han family. Who wouldn't be excited when encountering the glorious things that happened during these days? I, your uncle, haven't recovered yet. It's like a dream...Brother Zhao, you pinched me so hard. I wonder if I am dreaming?" said Master Dai.

Mr. Zhao laughed: "Brother Dai, this is not a dream, it is real. We really live in the same garden with Duke Yan, and we also got the words of Duke Yan."

The matter of smoke coming out of the ancestral grave has been settled.

As long as the Duke of Yan is not convicted and killed, even if he dies next year, the families of their group can hold on to this honor and let it protect their future generations.

Humph, a bunch of ignorant peasants, they got so excited just because they said a few words to the Duke, how shameful!

Mr. Wen Tao felt proud in his heart again.

However, in the eyes of the direct descendants of the Wen family in the capital, he is also a low-ranking person?

"Everyone, what we should do now is to help the Duke do his job instead of just limiting ourselves to reading words." Wen Tao took the opportunity to persuade them.

These words made Mr. Ji, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Dai, and even Mr. Qu Si very excited.

But they know their own strengths and weaknesses, so they are timid and don't do anything rash.

"Mr. Wen Tao is right, but we are incompetent and dare not cause trouble for the Duke. We'd better just watch it and broaden our horizons." Master Dai said this at the risk of offending the Wen family.

Others echoed: "That's right, that's right. The Duke of Yan is surrounded by great men, generals and celebrities. We are from a small place, so we'd better watch and not meddle in other people's business."

What a bunch of losers. They have come before the Duke of Yan, but they don't know how to seize the opportunity to do the job and achieve greater achievements!

Wen Tao cursed in his heart.

However, everyone ignored him and returned to their residence to have a good rest and digest the insights they had gained from the Fengmen Revenue Censorship.

The next morning, Eunuch An came and assigned them new tasks.

"Zhou Bantou and Qin Jie should go to the capital government office and the provincial government office to help out and learn how the two major offices handle cases."

"Uncle Qinzhuang and his nephew, take those who are willing to go with you and go to Lijiazhuang, 20 miles outside the city, to help. The Li family donated the village, which has been designated as the first village martial arts hall. It is currently being renovated and will open after the renovation is completed."
