Chapter 118: King Ping Arrives
"When and where?" Midnight stared at the little girl with her whole face collapsed.
The little girl was obviously afraid of midnight, and she couldn't speak clearly when she shrank her head: "Two, more than two months ago." I, I went to collect medicine for my mother on the mountain, and I saw a group of officials going to a village in the mountain, and I was curious to follow them. Then they saw that they had killed all the people in the village and burned the village. ”
As if remembering the scene at that time, the little girl was trembling unconsciously as she spoke.
Midnight glanced at the night shadow, and the night shadow flashed to the little girl, and carried her away as if she had just come in.
In the private room, the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
Several people were speechless, the only imperceptible sound of tea drinking.
"Nineteenth brother, if, this king said if, if it is really an epidemic, then if the corpses are burned and the village is burned, can it be stopped?" King Jing hopes that the answer is yes, and it seems that he heard his mother mention that he did the same thing outside the capital a hundred years ago.
Midnight looked at him with a smile, "What do you want to hear from Fifth Brother?" If the master said yes, does the fifth brother think that the practices of those officials are right? ”
"No, this king doesn't think so." King Jing's neck was choked, who did the nineteenth brother think of him?
Midnight sneered: "It's done, I didn't say you meant it." "It's really not funny," this is not a simple matter, it's done, let's go back." Second brother, what is your identity now? ”
"Second brother make a face, can you be your military advisor?"
"We're not marching and fighting here, so we don't need any military advisors. However, I lack a gentleman, is the second brother willing? ”
"Sir? It's good. ”
&
"Lord Xian, who is this 。。。。。。?" The city lord looked at King Ping who came back with midnight in curiosity and weirdness.
"The gentleman in this royal palace." Midnight made a gesture of invitation to King Ping: "Sir, please, the dog and the little girl miss Mr. very much." ”
Dogs?
Little?
What do the nineteenth brothers want to do on this southeast tour?
However, King Ping did not debunk it, but nodded calmly and coldly, and then left with Midnight.
But when he came to the courtyard where Midnight lived, he really saw a man and a woman rushing into Midnight's arms, and when he had a father, King Ping, who was indifferent on weekdays, instantly broke his success.
"This is? What's going on? ”
King Jing craned his shoulders, "That's what you see." ”
He thought that he would be scared, but it turned out that the second brother would be like this.
It can be seen from this that the nineteenth brother did this thing is so shocking.
Midnight picked up the two children, turned to face King Ping and smiled: "These are my two children, son Helian Zelei, daughter Helian Ziyan." ”
"Hehe, hehe, good, good." King Ping didn't know how to express his feelings anymore.
"Father, is it an uncle?" Xiao Ziyan looked at King Ping cutely, her face full of curiosity. There seem to be a lot of brothers in my father's father.
"Yes, your second uncle."
"Second uncle is good." The two children called in unison, which made King Ping's heart soften by three points.
"The second uncle didn't bring any gifts, why don't you wait for you to return to Beijing, and the second uncle will double the amount of money?"
"Okay, thank you, second uncle." Xiao Ziyan was lively and happily hugged Xian's neck in the middle of the night, while Lei Lei was shy and blushing.
These two children, if they are placed in ordinary times, or other people's homes, King Ping believes that he will like them, and they are indeed cute enough.
But the nineteenth brother 。。。。。。
Ahem~~, forget it, he can help a little, he's alone anyway.

Because of the arrival of King Ping, King Jing also ran over to share it with Midnight for dinner in the evening. On weekdays, he didn't dare, because he thought he would disturb the two children to eat in the middle of the night.
Midnight was chatting with King Ping about some and some things, all of which were topics that King Jing couldn't interject, and then he realized that he not only had a distance from the nineteenth brother, but also with the second brother of his own brother, there was an indelible gap.
It seems that they are a family, and he is just a passerby who intersperses halfway.
This feels very bad, very bad, not so bad that King Jing buries his head in a while and eats violently, using food to supplement the sudden emptiness in his heart.
Nightshadow flashed in, came to Midnight's side, and after a few words to him, Midnight waved his hand, and he disappeared again.
King Ping was silent, but his inquiring eyes looked at midnight, King Jing also stopped his chopsticks, and wanted to ask, but when he saw King Ping's attitude, he stopped talking this time, and learned King Ping to ask with his eyes.
"Seven of the villages around Quyang, which are almost a day's journey away, have been slaughtered, and all of them are suspected of being epidemics."
"So there's an outbreak of the epidemic?" The smile on King Ping's face vanished.
Midnight also looked solemn: "It should be." ”
"And what are you going to do?" Now he is the Inspector of the Southeast, that is, he is the biggest.
"Second brother, take back the initiative." Midnight tapped his fingertips on the table, "Second brother, I have sent someone to investigate, Zhou Fuyi, Feng Dehai, and more than half of the officials in Quyang are all his people." ”
"His hand is long enough. And what about in the army? ”
"It's all his people." The leader of the army who defends the local people of a state.
The army is also his, "then how are you going to take back the initiative?" The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and we are afraid that it is difficult to move forward. ”
"The city lord has a list of the hundred officials of Quyang City who are greedy for ink and earthquake silver, and it should record the content of how much he offered to him."
"You're planning to take this thing in your hands, but Brother Nineteen, have you thought about it, the dog jumps off the wall when he's in a hurry, how dangerous will you be then?" King Ping is not very approving of his adventure, it is certain to take something, but he has to think about how to take it.
However, the man didn't give them much time, two days had already passed, maybe he was almost in Quyang City.
Midnight wasn't worried, "Second brother, don't worry." ”
The lockdown lord actually has such a thing, could he have just gotten it? Such a sleek person, he is protecting himself, even if that person comes, he will not be able to take it out. Doesn't that tell the other party that he has a piece of evidence that can kill the other person?
"Okay, then the second brother will rest assured."
Then, both of them looked at King Jing with their eyes.
King Jing, who was eating, was stunned by the two of them: "What's the matter?" ”
Midnight approached King Jing, and said with a mysterious expression: "Fifth brother, I want your help with something." ”
"What?" King Jing is full of vigilance, the nineteenth brother is like this, his instinctive reaction is not good.
"Fifth brother, aren't you in charge of rebuilding? How much money will be spent, and how much land will be built, but there will be a certain number. Those villages were burned, and it stands to reason that they don't exist, Fifth Brother, do you understand? ”
