225.Chapter 225: King Ning explains
Thousands of villagers dressed plainly and carrying tools walked over, and the posture was very strange. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Thirty was worried that these people would be unfavorable to King Ning, so he immediately put his hand on the hilt of the knife on his waist, wanting to block in front of King Ning to protect him.
King Ning slowly stretched out his hand to block the thirty, the expression on his face was indifferent and calm, at this moment he was dressed in black, behind him was the embankment that had collapsed, and in the distance, there were layers of distant mountains.
His eyebrows and eyes are as peerless as ever, especially those deep eyes, which seem to have fallen into a cold ice, which makes people feel cold after seeing it. Hair flutters in the air, strands of hair.
Thirty had no choice but to retreat to King Ning's side, but his eyes were still staring at the person in front of him.
After King Ning saw the person who came, he let down his guard, because the leader was only the old man who sent the body of the bandit back to the village by himself, crying and beating the corpse.
However, in just a few days, the old man seemed to be a teenager again, and his back was rickety. When he walked to King Ning's side, he trembled and was about to kneel.
King Ning stretched out his hand to support him, and said in a deep voice, "There is no need to salute this king. ”
The old man still choked up: "His Royal Highness King Ning......" He looked up at King Ning, only to feel that even if King Ning didn't do anything, he could suppress others in terms of momentum.
"Where did this come from?" King Ning looked at the villagers behind him, and still didn't know what the situation was.
The old man wiped the moist corners of his eyes and said to King Ning: "After you went back that day, the grass people thought that the embankment in Weishui had been blown up, and it must be rebuilt, so they ran to more than 30 villages and gathered people from the villages around the capital, and we are willing to do white work for you, and strive to build this embankment as soon as possible!"
King Ning's eyes widened slightly when he saw the old man say this, but then he decisively refused: "You are all all family and property, you can't throw away the crops in the field to build a dike, this king does not agree." ”
But the old man insisted: "Tian, we can go back at night and plant again, if we don't succeed, there are still mothers-in-law and children at home! But we must help you rebuild this embankment! You help us kill all the bandits, this is the greatest kindness to us! We want to repay you!"
The old man said, tears falling from his eyes. In the past few months of the existence of this gang of robbers, the people around the capital have made their lives miserable, and they have gone to the villages to burn, kill and loot at every turn, and they are already desperate.
And at this time, there was a person who helped them kill all these bandits and return them to a clear life, how could they not be moved?
People's hearts are long, and when they heard that the emperor punished King Ning for building a dam and only allocated 100,000 taels of silver, they were all sad. So the old man spontaneously organized these villagers to do day jobs for King Ning, so that the wages could save a lot of money.
Although the embankment in Weishui is the smallest, it is also a big project, but no matter how big the project is, he can't stand the large number of them, as long as more than 1,000 people work together, it will definitely be completed as soon as possible.
After the old man finished speaking, the people behind him knelt down, looking at King Ning's eyes, all of them were sincere.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, it was you who saved us, and we are willing to help you work!"
"Yes, we don't want your wages, we just want you to let us stay!"
……
There were still many people who were responding, and Ghost Yue, who had been concentrating on checking the terrain, couldn't help but stand up straight and watch those villagers bow down to King Ning.
Thirty stood beside King Ning, even though he was not young anymore, when he saw this scene, his eyes were still slightly red.
These villagers can be so grateful to His Royal Highness King Ning, making Thirty feel that the suffering suffered by His Royal Highness before was not in vain. On the emperor's side, the military power of the forbidden army has not been withdrawn, but no one knows what he thinks after punishing King Ning like this.
Now, if there is the support of these villagers, the emperor will definitely not punish His Royal Highness again.
King Ning looked at the kneeling people, the emotions in his eyes were also a little complicated, and his heart was sour. After being silent for a while, King Ning said softly: "This incident is not the credit of this king alone. ”
When those villagers heard King Ning speak, they all fell silent, and they just looked at King Ning directly, but no one got up on the ground.
King Ning first waved his hand and motioned for them to get up, and then continued: "This time, with this king deliberately being caught in the stockade, there is also Miss Shu of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yuan Jinyu. Originally, the king could let her go first, but she was worried that the thieves would be wary of the king, so she didn't agree. And she was in the village, not only did she not need the protection of the king, but she also pretended to promise to marry the big boss in the cottage to delay time for the king. Otherwise, so many explosives in the stockade were detonated together, and there would be no time for the king to blow up the embankment. ”
King Ning raised his head and looked at everyone, his eyes were clear and firm, and although the words he said were plain, they made these villagers feel shocked.
"Later, this king was trapped in the mire, and it was also the king who came to find the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. From the moment she made up her mind to go with the king to the stockade, she was prepared for the ruin of her reputation, but even so, she did not complain. At this moment, in the capital, there are countless people who don't know the situation to slander her and insult her. But even so, I believe that if she is given another chance to choose, she will follow the same path. ”
King Ning rarely said so many things at once, and only when he encountered Yuan Jinyu's matter again, would he be like this. Maybe he didn't realize that when he mentioned Yuan Jinyu, his heart was always soft, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little gentle.
He knew that he was slow with his feelings, and everything he did came from all his heart. However, he clearly understood that he cared about Yuan Jinyu, so he was unwilling to let Yuan Jinyu suffer the slightest grievance.
He wasn't a good interpreter, but he could say these things to the villagers. He just hopes that there will be fewer people who misunderstand Yuan Jinyu.
She's a good girl, and she shouldn't be ruined by gossip. The **** asked himself, if people outside talk about themselves so much, do they feel sad.
His heart was cold, he was really not sad, and he didn't even care much, but now, when he heard the gossip about Yuan Jinyu outside, he felt his heart throb.
When he thought that if Yuan Jinyu was defeated because of such a thing, or if he was nested in the prime minister's mansion, he was sad and sad, his heart seemed to be empty, whirring and leaking.
When the villagers came here, he told them all about the situation. In fact, even if they didn't come, King Ning was ready to go to them.
Those who don't understand the reason just misunderstand Yuan Jinyu, for these people, Yuan Jinyu should also be their benefactor, if they all slander Yuan Jinyu, Jinyu will definitely be even more sad.
Now that they happened to be here, they saved King Ning some time.
When those villagers heard King Ning's words, they were silent for a long time.
They didn't expect that such a thing would happen to Miss Xiangfu. Ordinary girls must be extremely afraid of the cottage, let alone pretend to be caught and assist King Ning to eliminate bandits.
But Yuan Jinyu did it, and she did it better than anyone else.
How could they still misunderstand such a Yuan Jinyu? Now don't say it's a misunderstanding, a large group of men have begun to admire this woman.
The old man choked up from the beginning, because he also had a woman who was tortured by the bandits, and when she was sent back, she was already a corpse. So with such an experience, he felt even more sorry for Yuan Jinyu.
The young lady was just a teenage girl, and she was not yet able to reach the end of her life, and it was the men who were incompetent and could not resist the bandits, so they let the woman be arrested.
So the old man knelt down again: "Your Royal Highness King Ning, the grass people have never slandered Miss Jinyu, but they have not said anything for Miss Jinyu, now that we know that Miss Jinyu has done so many things for us, we naturally can't let the rumors spread, this is a danger to Miss Jinyu's reputation! Please tell us, how can this matter be calmed down?"
One after another, some villagers knelt down, but it was King Ning who knelt before, but at this moment it was Yuan Jinyu who was far away in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Now for them, His Royal Highness King Ning and Yuan Jinyu are their great benefactors, and they are worthy of their knees! If they can, they would prefer to kneel in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
King Ning stared at the old man for a long time, and finally said: "If you really want to save her, you might as well jointly write a book, your joint name, this king will send it to the emperor." ”
"The grass people understand! Tomorrow morning, the grass people will send a joint name to Ning Wang's Mansion! I hope you will tell the emperor that although we villagers don't know a single big character, we can still distinguish the good from the bad, and I hope the emperor can return Miss Jinyu a clean slate!"
The villagers behind him all followed him and echoed: "I hope the emperor can return Miss Jinyu's innocence!"
Thousands of people spoke at the same time, and the birds in the forest were shaken.
Although King Ning couldn't hear their voices, looking at the firmness in their eyes, his heart was half relieved. There is not much I can do for Yuan Jinyu, but as long as I can do it, I will give it all to Yuan Jinyu.
As long as she has it, as long as she wants it.
After solving this matter, King Ning also gratefully stretched out his hand and helped the old man up, still refusing their proposal just now: "As for the matter of building a dike, this king will find another way." ”
100,000 taels of silver is really not enough, and counting his own savings, it doesn't come out much. King Ning would never let these villagers do their own free work.
Ghost Moon didn't know when she came over, she was standing beside King Ning at the moment, and when King Ning looked at him, she said, "Your Highness, are you worried about money again?"
King Ning nodded, his face open.
Ghost Yue suddenly understood a little, why Yuan Jinyu would come to him for King Ning, King Ning looked a little cold on the surface, but in fact he was a good general for the country and the people, if the other princes knew that there were so many day workers, I am afraid that they would have said a few beautiful words and agreed.
