Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 144

Xia Xinhe immediately showed a smile and said: "General Xia, before you were concerned about suppressing the bandits, and you refused to relax at all, and your subordinates did not dare to disturb you. Now that the bandits have been eliminated, I have asked the best in our Jiacheng Prefecture. Book a banquet at our restaurant to celebrate the general and everyone!"

"There is no rush to celebrate!" Xia Chixiao pointed behind him and said, "This time we rescued nearly a thousand women who were kidnapped from the bandits' den and went up the mountain. I wonder if Mr. Xia can arrange for these people?"

Xia Xinhe was startled, nearly a thousand?Looking up, behind the officers and soldiers, those who were wearing men's clothes were much smaller in stature. They were indeed a large group of weak women. The number was almost endless as far as the eye could see.

"Just return their families!"

"They have no family and no home!"

Xia Xinhe looked embarrassed. Of course these people could accommodate him, but why did he do this for Xia Chixiao?These women will only be grateful to Xia Chixiao for rescuing them from the den of thieves in the future, not himself. Doesn't he want to be taken advantage of?

He smiled and said: "General Xia, this... there are too many of them, and I can't arrange them at the moment."

Xia Chixiao was not surprised at all, but asked: "Is the refugee resettlement center in Jiachen Mansion still there?"

Xia Xinhe said: "Yes, I am here, but it is already vacant!"

Is it because he is short of manpower and wants to go there to replenish it?

Xia Chixiao said: "It doesn't matter, please ask Mr. Xia to send someone to lead the way!"

Xia Xinhe sent people, and Xia Chixiao sent people to escort the wounded and the women to the refugee resettlement center.

The refugee resettlement center in Jiachen Mansion is also outside the city. There are two large sheds that can separate men and women, leaving a team of people to protect their safety.

As for food, housing, and medicine, it was a coincidence that they had just conquered the village and had gold, silver, and food. They allocated some of it to accommodate these people, and there was no need for Jiachen Mansion to provide money or supplies.

When Xia Xinhe saw Xia Chixiao, he just asked a few questions and immediately settled the women. He didn't mean to make things difficult at all, but he didn't mean to rely on local officials at all. He was afraid, so he invited Xia Chixiao again under the pretense of haha. Restaurant.

Xia Chixiao did not refuse this time, but he only brought Monk Hua, Meng Changdong, Deng Cong and three captains from the garrison who were brave enough to kill bandits.

Xia Xinhe said: "I have ordered ten tables! General Xia might as well bring more people!"

Xia Chixiao said: "Send the rest of the banquet to the refugee resettlement center!"

Xia Xinhe was speechless, but seeing that Xia Chixiao seemed to have made up his mind, he persuaded him a few more times and stopped insisting. It was enough that Xia Chixiao was willing to come anyway.He will try to find out more about Mei Shijie's affair later.

In addition, if things don't work out this time, it will be difficult for the capital to explain.Only by getting in touch with Xia Chixiao more can you find this person's weaknesses, so that you can make a safe move next time.

The people from the government office went to the restaurant together, occupied three tables, and left six tables. They were sent to the homeless shelter for the wounded and the women, as well as the officers and soldiers who were going to stay there to protect them.

During the banquet, Xia Xinhe kept probing and probing.But Xia Chixiao was impeccable, and he couldn't find out anything.

This time, Xia Chixiao personally interrogated the prisoners and did not rely on the government's help.

Because Anping Village was defeated one by one, there were not many prisoners.There were dozens of people in the east village and more than 200 in the main village. During the melee, when they saw that the military advisor and the leader of the sixth village were captured, those who lost their fighting spirit quickly dropped their weapons and surrendered.There were only more than five hundred people in total.

The military advisor confessed to many of the numerous crimes committed by Anping Village without even waiting to be tortured.He has personally handled many things and knows them better than anyone else.After the explanation, his face was ashen, and he seemed to understand why Xia Chixiao didn't kill him at the mountain stronghold, just for this moment!
The leader of the Sixth Village still had some toughness and survived two tortures. Monk Hua went to the place where he was imprisoned, which made him curse him repeatedly, but he finally confessed.

The remaining bandits were interrogated by Huo Ci and Zhuo Jun, and their crimes were recorded one by one.

Xia Chixiao wrote a thick memorial and sent it to the capital, and also asked for credit for Hua Heshan and others who had made great contributions.

Those garrison soldiers returned to their original positions.

But Mei Shijie was a criminal, so Xia Chixiao chose a school captain who was the bravest among them and had some brains to temporarily act as the leader of the garrison.He also mentioned specific matters in the memorial, including Mei Shijie's crime.How to deal with it, how to arrange the garrison, whether to send officials or let Xia Chixiao's assignment, there will be corresponding imperial edicts.

The leader of the Six Villages and others committed human life, burned and killed the bandits who had taken them captive, and announced to the whole city that they would be executed three days later.The military advisor had no lives on hand, but his crime was not light at all and he was executed in the same way.

Those people suffered deeply from bandits, and many of them were direct victims.After hearing the news, they rushed to tell each other. On the day of execution, there was a sea of ​​people, many of whom knelt and kowtowed in the direction where the officers and soldiers were stationed.

Xia Chixiao took a short rest and asked Huo Ci, Meng Changdong and others to rush to the next city without stopping to suppress the bandits. He took a detour to Changli County.

Xia Xinhe's secret message was also sent out.

A few days later, Beijing.

In Mingxia Garden of Anyuanhou Mansion, Chu Nanning was a little confused, holding an unopened letter in her hand. Xia Chixiao sent her a letter from the north?Their relationship is not familiar enough to send letters to each other, right?
Or is it that Xia Chixiao found the information she provided useful at the beginning, but now wants to ask something else?
Never mind, read it first.

In the letter, Xia Chixiao first expressed his gratitude to her for providing the information before, and then said that the person he was looking for already had some clues. Then he mentioned the suppression of bandits in Jiachen Mansion, and then asked her: I heard that you built a building in the suburbs of Beijing. Yishantang specializes in taking in some homeless women and teaching them the means and skills to make a living.I don't know if he still needs more people, but he has more than 900 of them, fresh and warm, just rescued from the bandits' den.

Chu Nanning: "..."

She has indeed built many righteousness halls, not only in the suburbs of Beijing, but also in Linzhou, Jiazhou, Yanzhou and Yunzhou adjacent to the capital.

Because her business expansion requires manpower.

In this era, it is generally believed that men are the main force in doing things, and women are far inferior in terms of ability, vision, ability and ideas.

Chu Nanning knew that many of them just lacked an opportunity. If they were given corresponding education and equal conditions, they would do no worse than men.

So what she built was not a charity hall in the true sense. Those women were there to do things.They learn skills from her and use them for her, maybe three or five years.After the contract period is over, you can stay if you want, or you can find another way out on your own.

However, this is within the scope of her business, which is as far away as Jiachen Mansion in the north.

When her eyes fell on the number over 900, she hesitated again.
