An Wanqing paused, turned her head to stare at him with big eyes, and said in shock: "What did the Overseer say?" ”

"This dry well ......" Yan Qingyu didn't finish speaking, and suddenly pulled her into her arms.

Before An Wanqing could react, Yan Qingyu had already taken her and hid behind a big tree.

"You ......"

"Shhh~ Don't make a sound, someone."

I saw two patrolling housekeepers coming to the courtyard with lanterns.

"I just heard a movement here, and it seems that I heard it wrong." A housekeeper glanced around with a lantern and said to the person next to him.

"Come on, let's go, brother, it's normal to have a little movement here, it's almost time to change shifts, go back to sleep, I'm sleepy." Another family member urged while napping.

"Hmm." The two housekeepers glanced into the courtyard and left with lanterns.

Seeing that the footsteps of Jia Ding were getting farther and farther away, the two people hiding behind the big tree breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll talk about it when I have something to say." Yan Qingyu said.

An Wanqing nodded, as if thinking of something, pushed him away, took a few steps back to keep a distance from him, bowed his head and said, "The overseer will go first." ”

"What to pretend to be reserved! It's not the first time! Yan Qingyu glanced at her lightly, with an evil smile on the corner of her mouth, and walked forward with her hands behind her back.

"You ......" An Wanqing was ashamed and annoyed, glared at him fiercely, and followed.

The two returned to the wing, and Yan Qingyu immediately informed Mo Qiu and Mo Ting to summon the Imperial Jin Army to surround the dry well and relieve the families of the victims.

"If it weren't for the fact that the Overseer accidentally discovered that there was a problem with the wall of the well, we would never have imagined that the Ning Governor's Mansion would have built a basement in the ground of his yard and hid the families of the victims underground." An Wanqing took a deep breath and suddenly realized: "No wonder we have no clues in Ningbei, no wonder this mansion is built like this." ”

"Ben Du picked up the dagger, I wanted to go up, I heard a slight clicking sound under the well wall, I was surprised for a while, squatted down to take a look, only to find that there was a big hole under the well wall, enough for a baby to crawl in and out, Ben Du Fu groped the well wall again, only to find that the well wall was actually a secret door, Ben Du touched the mechanism, quietly opened a meeting, but I didn't expect that this Ning Yebo was so bold, he actually built a basement underground, and hid the families of the victims in it." Yan Qingyu clenched his fists and snorted coldly.

"When the secret door of the well wall was built, it was obvious that he cut corners and did not choose good stones, which caused the lower part of the well wall to be slowly compressed and broken, and a hole appeared at the bottom, and what Young Master Ning accidentally saw was actually a baby who crawled in and out of the hole, and Mrs. Ning lied to him that it was an underground mouse, and Young Master Ning believed it completely because he was stupid, and often ran to watch." An Wanqing said thoughtfully.

"Master, Governor Ning and Mrs. Ning brought it." Yang Kun and Ji Jian brought Ning Yebo and Mrs. Ning to the front hall of the wing room.

"I don't know what the so-called matter is that the adults summoned the officials late at night?" Ning Yebo looked at Yan Qingyu with trepidation and asked.

Yan Qingyu looked at him, slammed the table, and said sharply, "Does Lord Ning still need to be reminded by this governor?" What you've done yourself, don't you know! ”

"This ......" Ning Yebo's whole person became nervous.

There was a commotion outside, and Mo Qiu and Mo Ting brought more than a hundred people to the courtyard, among these people, there were old people, and there were also young children of two or three years old.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Ning Yebo's eyes widened in shock, his face was ugly, his legs were weak, and he collapsed directly on the ground.

"Sir?" Mrs. Ning was startled, and also knelt on the ground, pounced on Ning Yebo's body, and sobbed.

"Say! What the hell are these people going on! Immediately recruit the official from the truth! If you dare to have half a lie, this official will not be spared! Yan Qingyu said sharply.

"Master, all the people who were hiding in the dry well basement have been rescued and have been placed in the courtyard. There is enough water and raw food in the basement for half a month, but no relief food from previous years has been found. Mo Qiu said.

"No relief food found?" Yan Qingyu was taken aback.

Mo Ting hurriedly said: "Master, there are indeed a few bags of raw grain in the basement, but they are only for the temporary food and clothing of these imprisoned people, and a large amount of disaster relief grain has not been found!" ”

"No wonder the victims are desperate for us to leave soon, if we delay any longer, these people hiding in the basement are afraid that they will be cut off from water and food." An Wanqing frowned.

"Drink cold water, eat raw rice, Ning Governor's Mansion, you are too vicious, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled!" Mo Ting turned his head to glare at Ning Yebo and said resentfully.

Yan Qingyu's face turned pale, he stood up violently, and warned Ning Ye sharply: "Recruit it truthfully immediately!" If you dare to tell half a lie, this official will kill you now! ”

Knowing that the matter could no longer be hidden, Ning Yebo sighed sadly and frowned, "I said." ”

"Master, if you say it, what should Zheng'er do?" Mrs. Ning burst into tears, pulling Ning Yebo's arm and shaking her head desperately.

"Madam, now I am cornered, six years, these six years of being slaughtered, I have had enough of this kind of life." Ning Yebo pounded his thigh and said sadly.

"But Zheng'er ...... him"

"Don't mention this rebel, if it weren't for this rebel, how could I Ning Yebo be reduced to today, hey. Woe to the family! Ning Yebo gritted his teeth and said.

Yan Qingyu's brows furrowed a little, staring at Ning Yebo, waiting for his words.

Ning Yebo sighed heavily, knowing that he had no power to return to the sky, he bowed his head and said: "Six years ago, the eldest son Ning Zheng studied at Hong'an Academy in Shanghai, who would have thought that this rebel son not only did not get angry and tried to be strong, but made trouble in the academy, and actually killed Lord Liu's adopted son, this Lord Liu's official position is above me, and he refuses to give up, and he uses this matter to threaten him, detain my son, and ask me to give him a ration of money and food every year, in order for my son Ning Zheng to survive, I have to obey his arrangement......"

"In other words, the dam breaking every year is actually deliberately done by you, the purpose is to let the imperial court issue disaster relief food and disaster relief funds, so that you can use it to honor Lord Liu?" Mo Qiu looked at Ning Yebo and asked.

"You are mad, risking the lives of the people to make this decision, hateful!" Mo Ting glared at him and said indignantly.

"The amount of food and money proposed by Lord Liu is very large, let alone a year, even if it is half my life, I can't afford to pay it back, so he gave me this idea, there is no way, I can only do it." Ning Yebo was full of grief and remorse, beating his chest and said: "According to his instructions, I rebuilt and widened the walls of the mansion, dug the ground and built a basement, and replaced the family in the mansion again, and I will secretly hide and seize half of the disaster relief food issued by the imperial court every year, for fear that the people would complain back then, I had to detain their relatives and use them to blackmail them, for five consecutive years, there was nothing to do, and after the imperial court disaster relief envoy completed the handover with me, I went back to Beijing, but this year, I didn't expect to meet adults ......"

"I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet!" Mo Qiu snorted coldly.

"But Liu Linjie, the guard of Shanghai?" Yan Qingyu asked coldly.

Ning Yebo sighed and nodded.

"The people of the third prince...... Yan Qingyu frowned thoughtfully, looked at Ning Yebo, and snorted coldly: "What does Liu Linjie want so much food and money for!" Could it be that they are recruiting troops and trying to rebel? ”
