Chapter 239 - 239 Sister, Give Me a Chance!
239 Sister, Give Me a Chance!
When the county governor’s wife arrived, she was dignified, but when she left, she looked very dejected. She looked like she was fleeing.
After sending away the kind woman, Lin Suisui pondered for a moment before getting up to look for Lu Ze for help again.
The most important thing for her now was to find two reliable accountants. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be completely at ease no matter who she handed this money to.
After Lin Suisui passed through the arch and entered the courtyard, she was shocked to see Wei Qing, who was standing alone with a water bowl on his head. She looked curiously at Wei Qing, who was holding his breath and standing still. This was…
He was mastering juggling?!
“Why are you here?!” When Wei Qing saw Lin Suisui, his originally tense expression immediately became cheerful. However, although he was happy, he didn’t relax at all. It could be seen that his martial arts foundation was good.
“I’ll finish practicing in an hour!”
Wei Qing smiled widely, making Lu Ze, who had come out after hearing the commotion, raise his eyebrows. He added, “Since it’s so easy for you, practice for another hour!”
“No way! I’ve been practicing here for more than two hours!” Wei Qing’s face immediately fell when he heard this. He looked at Lu Ze aggrievedly and complained, “Brother-in-law, aren’t you being too ruthless?! I’m still an injured person!”
“When you go out and ride your horse to face the enemy, will you tell your opponent that you guys have already fought for two hours, so you want to take a break?!
“So what if you’re injured? You injured your arm, not your leg! If you hadn’t injured your arm, you wouldn’t be so free now!”
Facing Wei Qing’s accusation, Lu Ze didn’t panic at all and immediately retorted.
Lin Suisui covered her mouth and couldn’t help but laugh as she said to Lu Ze, “It’s about disaster relief. I might need your help to arrange a few people for me.”
“Sister, are you going to the disaster relief scene personally?! When the refugees come, it won’t be easy to control the situation! Why don’t I bring people to help you maintain order?!”
Although Wei Qing was standing in the middle of the courtyard and practicing the so-called “balance technique”, his ears were still very sharp. When he heard Lin Suisui mention disaster relief, he immediately became energetic and recommended himself.
However, as soon as he said this, Lu Ze poured cold water on him. “Most of your men have gone with Mr. Pei to patrol the border. What can the remaining guards do?!”
“Sister, I want to do something for the refugees too!” Seeing that Lu Ze refuted his plan, Wei Qing turned to look at Lin Suisui pleadingly. “Generals like me, who have been through thick and thin, are the most needed in this sort of situation!
“Sister, I’m very capable. Believe me, give me a chance!”
“When the time comes, you should listen to Lu Ze’s arrangements! I’ll leave things like maintaining order to him!” Lin Suisui calmly pushed the responsibility to Lu Ze, who was standing at the side. Then, she continued to say to Lu Ze, “Regarding the accounting, I originally planned to entrust this matter to the county governor’s wife, but…”
“County Governor Tang is just a sleaze. Tsk, the two of them are both sly and tactful!” Hearing Lin Suisui mention the county governor’s wife, Wei Qing spat on the ground before Lin Suisui could even finish speaking. “Previously, the orphans of the soldiers in the Huben Battalion were enslaved by those bastards surnamed Ma. That family couldn’t survive anymore and could only go to the county governor’s residence to complain.
In the end, County Governor Tang sent them to the general’s residence!
Gao Xuwei, that bastard, was in the same boat as the Ma family. How could this family survive?!
“When I rushed back after receiving the news, there were only two children less than eight years old left in the family!”
“Then are you just going to let this matter go?!” Lu Ze raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wei Qing. “You aren’t someone who would just take this lying down!”
“How can I let it go just like that?! I can’t deal with Gao Xuwei, but I can deal with the trash below! At that time, a few brothers and I beat up the Prefectural Governor at his courtyard door. We also found an opportunity to break an arm and a leg of that bastard from the Ma family who wanted to embezzle land. Hehe, the one who was dragged out of the wheelchair and into the Imperial City’s government office this time is him!”
“Are you familiar with the accounts?!” Lu Ze didn’t harp on this matter anymore. Instead, he changed the topic to another matter.
“What account?!” The topic changed so quickly that Wei Qing couldn’t react for a moment. He looked at Lu Ze in confusion.
Lu Ze looked at Wei Qing and sighed regretfully. “Originally, I thought that since General Wei Qing’s arm was injured, it wasn’t appropriate for him to go to the porridge shed to maintain order, so I wanted to leave things like accounting to you. Since…”
“Leave it to me! Although I’m not good at managing accounts, the butler in my residence is good at it! I’ll get him to arrange two reliable accountants for me!”
How could Wei Qing accept Lu Ze’s refusal? Before Lu Ze could finish speaking, Wei Qing accepted the mission. “Don’t worry, leave this to me. I’ll definitely handle it well. There won’t be any mistakes!”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, General Wei Qing.” Lu Ze nodded and slowly walked in front of Wei Qing. After Lu Ze took the water jar from his head, Lu Ze patted his shoulder gently and instructed earnestly, “There’s no time to lose. It’s best if you go back and make arrangements now!
If possible, they should start dealing with related matters tomorrow morning!
“You also know that this matter is extremely important. If we make a mistake and there’s a problem with the accounts, we’ll be scolded…”
“Impossible!” Before Lu Ze could hypothesize the worst outcome, he was interrupted by Wei Qing. Wei Qing raised his hand and patted his chest as he promised seriously.
Looking at Wei Qing, who turned around and rushed away, Lu Ze smirked slightly. When he turned to look at Lin Suisui again, he returned to his usual gentle and amiable self. “Since Wei Qing wants to help, leave the task of finding accountants to him!
I know you’re worried that he doesn’t know about these things, but don’t worry. He comes from a prominent family. His family must have arranged for a capable servant to serve him in the north! Finding two people who are proficient in accounting is a piece of cake for him.”
