Chapter 254: All for Justice

Cui Zhoubao had already gone back to sleep, the lights in the next few rooms had been extinguished, obviously they were all asleep, this was the guest room of the post station, and there was a stable in the back, the pouring rain could not hide the irritable neighing of the horses, and the soldiers who lived in the army were all used to it, and they slept very sweetly.

The spring rain moisturizes things silently, but this heavy rain does not know how many crops are going to be flooded, Rao Su is worried about the livelihood of a criminal officer who should not be worried, and sees the dark sky.

There, someone jumped in.

A purple bolt of lightning pierced the sky, revealing the crescent-like scimitar.

On the night of the thunderstorm, someone jumped over the wall with a murder weapon at the wilderness station, Rao Su only thought of one possibility, is the emperor really so ruthless? Can't even a minister like himself who is upright and dedicated to serving the people? He was originally most worried about the emperor's anger in the capital, but he didn't expect the emperor to treat a righteous courtier like him so ruthlessly, and the situation was worse than he imagined.

"Zhou Bao! Zhou Bao! ”

He knocked on the door and window of the next room, knocking all the way, shouting at the top of his voice, he was sorry to die, these soldiers were entrusting their lives, and he must ensure their safety.

There was a sound in the room where the lights were out, and Cui Zhoubao walked out with his pants.

Several other soldiers and Rao Su's escort also ran out, although the guards didn't have time to put on their pants, but they brought out their own weapons, they had been guarding Rao Su for many years, if they hadn't found clues or encountered danger, Rao Su would not have yelled in such a panic.

There was more than one man in black who jumped into the wall, and with the occasional lightning bolt across the sky, they saw the ten bright scimitars and long swords.

"Protect Lord Rao!" The guards rushed to Rao Su quickly, blocking Rao Su behind him, and the soldiers who reacted rushed into the house and took out their weapons, and spontaneously stood in front of Rao Su.

"This is Lord Rao Surao, the imperial court, don't you retreat quickly!" Cui Zhoubao stood at the forefront, the heavy rain slapping his body and washing his sword.

One of the men in black snorted coldly, and the ten people standing in the corner of the wall rushed up.

The jogging who was woken up pushed open the door in a daze with an oil lamp, and when he saw the tense confrontation between the two parties in the courtyard, he ran out of the house in fright and slipped down the path to the backyard.

There are nine people on the Rao Su side, and there are ten people on the black-clothed side, and the momentum on that side must be well prepared.

His heart was dead, and he chose to die.

"You don't have to worry about me, go through the back door!" Rao Su pushed the soldier in front of him away and pointed to him the path that led to the backyard.

"Lord Rao, we are willing to protect your thoughtfulness!" None of the soldiers chose this way of escape, although Rao Su is not a military person, but his upright style enjoys a high reputation in the civilian military, and it is a shame for soldiers to flee from the battle, they are all soldiers with strong blood, how can they choose to leave Rao Su's stomach and flee.

The sword of the man in black has already met these eight swords, Rao Su has no martial arts to protect him, he can't join the battle at all, the soldier is so generous, Rao Su will not be timid, he picked up a bench in the corridor, shouted and waved at a man in black, there is an inn next door, he believes that as long as someone knows that there is a war here, someone will come to support.

There were candles lit in the inn, and the noise of the post station next door made it impossible for them to continue sleeping, and some people wanted to rush out of the inn to remind them of a word or two, but they were forced back by the two bright scimitars at the door of the inn.

Next door, someone is killing people.

The morning sun pushes the clouds and urges the rain, it rains for a whole day and a night, making the capital a water city, the uneven streets are full of potholes, walking under the trees is very likely to be thrown a rain, the sound of the eaves ticking has never stopped, after the busy work of the family in the morning, the drainage channel blocked by the dead grass has been dredged, the bolt of the window in Du Yiyi's house has also been repaired, Ning Zhiyuan went to the court early in the morning, Qinglan didn't know who he went to visit this morning, Du Yiyi was worried about Lu Xiangxue's illness and asked Xu's mother to go to Shen Mansion to see it, and she went out in a sedan chair.

The heavy rain overnight left many streets with standing water, and the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were dredging blocked ditches and other passages, and the streets were in shambles after a night of strong winds and rains toppling many trees.

Only a few merchants opened their doors on Chopping Horse Street, Du Yiyi looked at a few shops, except for the shop that sold silk and satin, which was wet by the rain and a few pieces of cloth, there was not much loss, Kuang Xiaofeng's bookstore was miserable, because he did not live in a bookstore, and last night's heavy rain leaked, many of his books were wet, and many of the calligraphy and paintings on the walls had been scrapped.

After looking at the shop, she began to go to the farm, last night the thunderstorm was fierce, from a distance, the low-lying fields have been filled with water, and the road also has overflowing water from the side paddy fields, the owners have organized the tenants to drain the water, and the discharged water collects towards the river, and the turbid yellow river water rushes to the other side.

Except for the crops in the smaller, low-lying fields that were affected by soaking for a day and a night, there was not much loss in the other fields, and Du Yiyi took a tour of the tenants' villages, which were the most damaged by the thunderstorm.

Because the tenants lived at the foot of the mountain, three tenants' houses were crushed and buried on the day of the landslide, injuring two people and killing one, while the tenants' houses were dilapidated and shabby, unable to withstand such heavy rains, and two of the houses had collapsed in the rain, and the others were not inhabitable at all.

Du Yiyi asked the owners to arrange for the tenants' families to live in the village temporarily, and let the people of the village take the tenants to clean up the sediment and loess of the landslide.

Du Yiyi's benevolent act made the tenants all grateful to Dade, these silver were only a small amount to the Rui Wangfu for her, but for the poor tenants, it was impossible to get out of the money, and it was already afternoon after finishing these things.

Ning Zhiyuan did not come back at noon, according to the itinerary from Suzhou to the capital and yesterday's heavy rain, Rao Su's arrival in the capital should be tomorrow, this morning in addition to determining the commander of the Left Army Governor's Mansion and the former Military Governor's Mansion, the emperor of the former military Governor's Mansion that had always been under the jurisdiction of Shen Ke was temporarily handed over to Ning Chaoge to take charge, in order to appease Shen Ke, it should be said that it was to appease the soldiers in the Five Armies Governor's Mansion who were hot-blooded and violent, This time, the emperor impeached Shen Ke in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and Xu Zesen, the secretary of the military department, was punished for one year, and let Shu Ruhai go to the Shen Mansion with the reward of gold, silver and jewelry, and promoted Lu Xiangxue to a first-class wife.

Although the emperor weakened Shen Ke's strength, he finally appeased Shen Ke a little, and the rest of the people couldn't talk to the emperor even if they had opinions.

Xin Tonghou, who was elected as the commander of the left army governor's office, has become a person who has attracted everyone's attention, as far as they know, Xin Tonghou has always been an idle lord, this time the emperor handed over such an important position to him, most people only thought of one possibility, that is, the emperor wants to use Xin Tonghou as a puppet, it seems that Xin Tonghou is in charge of the left army governor's office, but in fact, it is to lay the foundation for Ning Chaoge to lead the five armies in the future.

And Zhao Jingzhi, who was appointed as the commander of the former military governor's office, is the most optimistic new force under the ups and downs of the five military governor's mansions this time, the emperor's future son-in-law has meritorious service in Suzhou supervising the army, and his father was recommended by Lu Yi'an as the first assistant of the cabinet, if the emperor really appoints Zhao Qidong as the first assistant of the cabinet, then the Zhao family has really become the only power and government in the capital.

The Zhao family has such power, Qi Zhaoyi is of course the happiest, Ning Xiao is not loved by the emperor, there is such a strong husband in the future, and he will definitely not suffer any grievances after marrying, as soon as he was happy, Qi Zhaoyi agreed to Ning Xiao's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and took her out of the palace to Rui Wangfu for the first time in several months.

Qi Zhaoyi's mother family is not obvious, because Ning Xiao's love is more low-key among the five concubines than those who have no heirs, after the emperor set the marriage of the Zhao family for Ning Xiao, she stayed in her own residence to teach Ning Xiao in addition to going to the queen's palace every day to ask for peace, Ning Xiao is impatient and reckless, the Zhao family's official family is the most important, she is so attentive, she just wants Ning Xiao to marry in the future and be a good daughter-in-law in the Zhao family, Since the death of the eldest princess, Ning Xiao's temperament has changed greatly in the palace, and she studied quietly for several months before slowly becoming more lively under Qi Zhaoyi's care, Rui Wangfu has experienced major events such as Ning Yi Ziyue, and she has always seen Qinglan haunting the queen's palace recently, and after listening to Qi Zhaoyi talk about the current situation of Rui Wangfu, she thought about going to Rui Wangfu.

Ning Xiao was very disliked to Qinglan at first sight when she saw Qinglan, in addition to the identity of Qinglan, the second lady's concubine she hated, but also because of Ning Xiao's intuition, she loved and hated clearly, and her intuition was the most accurate, and at first glance, she could get along well with the people she liked in the future, such as Du Yiyi, such as Yang Huaijin, but she couldn't like the people she didn't like at first sight, although Qinglan was now the county lord of Xiu'an canonized by the emperor, but every time Ning Xiao saw this person, he immediately turned around and couldn't see it.

She grew up in the harem and saw all kinds of love, the most accustomed thing is that the man's three wives and four concubines like the new and hate the old, only hear the newcomer laugh and don't listen to the old cry, the eldest princess and Yang Yi are the only ones she has ever seen who is true to love, but in the end they all died in Huangquan, and she also set a marriage contract for several months She and Zhao Jingzhi have had several communications, although she has no original rejection of Zhao Jingzhi or accepted this marriage contract, but for the future marriage, she is still nervous.
