The next day, a few villagers didn't understand the situation, but they came to Lu Ning knelt down and cried and complained, reprimanding the village Zheng Zhang Taigong's family, colluding with the town soldiers, how cruel and domineering they are now, one of their relatives, because he offended the slave of Mrs. Zhang's family, was falsely accused of Ma Chu's fine work, the whole family was beheaded by several people, and was hung in the village gate to show the public, they ganged up to go to the county to sue, and they were also driven back.

Last month, several of their men and women were driven out of Yongning Town, and they had to go to the fields to build grass huts, and now they are worried that they will be killed in the middle of the night, and then treated as if they were plundered by Ma Chuliu's soldiers.

Li Jingyi's face is green, doesn't this make people see a joke?

Lu Ning was a little angry when he heard it, but regardless of the truth of this matter, he naturally couldn't care about it.

After another two days, Li Jingyi's personal soldiers went to lock up and take the entire family of Taigong Zhang, apparently he was not idle, and found out the matter, most of what these villagers said was true.

But late that night, there was a riot in Yongning Town.

The next day, I learned that the town commander led dozens of soldiers and fled, obviously because he had a close relationship with Mrs. Zhang's family, and was worried that he would be punished by the Duke of Baoning.

When he saw Lu Ning, Li Jingyu seemed to have become numb, anyway, he had already been thrown home, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Li Jingyu just sent an order, ordering the original deputy commander of Yongning Town to temporarily lead the commander.

Then, a little girl was born timidly, saying that she knew Li Da's whereabouts, and she called Li Da her brother.

This little girl is the fire girl of Mrs. Zhang's family, Li Jingyu raided Mrs. Zhang's house, and these low-level slaves from the local area made her return home, and those from other places were entangled.

This fire girl, said to be originally from Xiangtan, Changsha Prefecture, a few years ago to escape the war to Yongning Town, her parents died of illness here, she was lonely, into Zhang Dahu's family to work.

The little girl's surname is Dong, and she is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, stunted, and very thin.

In the past few days, no villager has been able to provide really useful clues, Lu Ning was a little disappointed, and even prepared to turn around, but he didn't want to, Zhang Dahu's house was raided, but it led to such a gratifying change.

This Dong Xiaomei first cried and asked Brother Li how he died, and said that she didn't dare to come out before, because she was afraid of being beaten by Da Langjun again.

Back then, Brother Li injured Zhang Dalang because Zhang Dalang abused himself and was seen by him.

However, it was Zhang Dalang, and he didn't know why Brother Li beat him.

Hearing that Li Da was killed by officers and soldiers after killing people, Dong Xiaomei asked Brother Li if he was a bad person.

Lu Ning told her that Li Da killed his friend, and he may not be a good person in the eyes of outsiders, but he is definitely not a bad person, even if he is at fault, he will not be guilty of death.

Lu Ning has been telling her with a pleasant face, Dong Xiaomei seems to be gradually convinced, and she has never seen such an amiable official.

Lu Ning could see that in fact, Dong Xiaomei went to the shackles of the Zhang family, but she was even more at a loss, when she came to ask Li Da for news, she didn't understand a lot of things, and she missed her Brother Li even more, if she waited, what kind of bad person she was, it might be unfavorable to her Brother Li's friends, she was only afraid of death and would not tell Li Da's whereabouts.

"Brother Li, Brother Li went to Xiangtan three years ago, and came back last year, gave it to me, and gave me a gold ing......ot," Dong Xiaomei cried as she said, "At that time, I wondered, what was Brother Li going to do...... But he didn't say anything, he only said that he wanted me to put away the gold ingots, and wait for me, and when I was older, and I could make up my own mind, I would leave here, and use the gold ingots to buy a house and a field, and live a good life......"

Dong Xiaomei whimpered and cried, "Brother Li, why did you die?" Why did you die......"

After waiting for a long time, seeing that her crying gradually stopped, Lu Ning asked, "Where is the gold ingot?" ”

"I, I've been buried under the firewood in the firewood room......" Dong Xiaomei replied timidly.

Li Jingxiao, who had been listening quietly, waved his hand, and immediately there were pro-soldiers to go, and after a while, he came back with a gold ingot and presented it to Li Jinglu, Li Jingkui waved his hand, and the pro-soldiers then forwarded it to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning picked it up and looked at it, and then frowned slightly, it was a gold ingot from Zhaoyuan, ten taels, and the official price was one hundred yuan, in fact, it was common for rich people to buy it with two or three hundred yuan as a hard currency collection.

However, the gold ingots produced by Zhaoyuanwei are available all over the country, and now in the entire Central Plains, the gold ingots are cast in Zhaoyuan, and this gold ingots do not explain anything.

"This little sister, you have to settle it well!" Lu Ning handed the gold ingots to Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingyu naturally understood what Lu Ning meant, if this Dong Xiaomei took the ingots, she would turn her head and be afraid that it would be a disaster of death, and his own soldiers were afraid that they would have hot eyes and secretly kill people and sell goods.

"She is a citizen of Jiangnan, I will arrange it properly!" Li Jingkui turned to Dong Xiaomei again: "Little lady, you don't have to be afraid, I will pay you 500 yuan for this gold ingot, buy industrial land for you in Jiangning Mansion, and choose a housekeeper for you to take care of it." ”

Dong Xiaomei's mind was confused, and she just looked at Lu Ning.

Lu Ning smiled: "Don't worry, Bao Ning Gong is an upright person, you just have to listen to his arrangement." ”

Dong Xiaomei nodded, and then retreated with Li Jingyi's personal soldiers.

"The General Court of Literature has a good reputation!" Li Jingyu looked at Lu Ning, obviously unable to imagine that Lu Ning had such an impression of him.

Lu Ning smiled, "I often hear the Son of Heaven mention Baoning Gong, he misses you very much, but at this time, it is not easy to meet Baoning Gong." ”

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then sighed and asked, "What does the General Academy want to do next?" But the subject changed.

Lu Ning said: "I also asked Baoning to send a messenger to Xiangtan, saying that I want to go to Xiangtan." ”

Nowadays, whether it is Changsha Mansion or Xiangtan County, they are nominally the territory of Qi State, but when they go west from this Baoning Town, they must inform the local officials of their identities in advance, so as not to cause any misunderstanding.

Li Jingyu nodded, "Okay, I'll send someone there." Glancing at Lu Ning, "Among the people of the General Hospital, there are dragons and phoenixes, that little lady Dong, at a young age, how can you have any likes and dislikes?" It's just a matter of nature to feel it, but I am so convinced of the General Hospital, which reminds me of an old friend! ”

Lu Ning smiled and said nothing, too lazy to pretend that he didn't know who his old friend was to ask him.

Li Jingyu didn't say anything more, and left with his hands.

……

A few days later, Li Jingyi's pro-army rushed back from Xiangtan, but they brought an astonishing news, saying that it was news that had reached Xiangtan County yesterday, and that Daozhou had rebelled and expelled Wang Hanshi, the appeasement envoy who had gone to inspect Daozhou, and there were even rumors that Wang Hanshi was killed in the chaos.

Xiangtan County Commander heard that an official from the State of Qi was coming, and he was very frightened, and he had already set off to pick him up, and he should be able to go to the Machu border village in the west of Yongning Town tomorrow morning.

Wang Hanshi was expelled or even killed in Daozhou?

Lu Ning was stunned, the exact news should be being sent from Jiangling Mansion to Quanzhou now, after all, the people in the secret prison will not know their exact movements all the time.

Slightly regretted, if Wang Hanshi was killed, it would be because he had hurt him.

It seems that he did overestimate Wang Hanshi's ability, of course, maybe he can't count on Wang Hanshi after all, he can't expect a powerless literati like himself to be able to deal with all kinds of emergencies at any time.

"Baoning Gong, it seems that I am bound to go to this Xiangtan! How about Boryeong Gong's pro-army borrow me for use? Lu Ning sighed and asked, in fact, he had already made up his mind, and these five hundred pro-army would not be returned if they were borrowed, and they would be incorporated into the Red Tiger Army.

After all, excellent archers are too difficult to train, according to the original plan, this Red Tiger Army has begun to have combat strength, how can it be a year later, but if most of the archers are trained, the time will be greatly shortened.

"Okay......" Li Jingyu was a little helpless, but there were only ten soldiers of the Northern Dynasty around this general hospital, and it was not safe to go to Xiangtan like this, and it seemed that he couldn't persuade him, so if he ignored it, if something went wrong, the cheeky guy would have to rely on Jiangnan again.

Lu Ning coughed, looking at Li Jingxiao's appearance, he felt that he couldn't stand it.

However, then thinking of Wang Hanshi's uncertain life and death, he got up, "So, give the order to go down, pull out the camp and set off!" ”
