In accordance with the emperor's will, the officials of the government quickly moved and surrounded the Zhou house in the afternoon of the same day.

Maybe the surname Zhou has a bit of power in the local area, so this movement still caused some sensation, and the people were afraid of his past obscenity, so they didn't dare to watch and laugh, but they discussed it in private.

When the two brothers Ningshan and Ninghe came back from the Yellow River with people, they were treated like heroes to a certain extent, and more than 70 people who followed them were surrounded by ordinary people.

Their eyebrows fluttered and they explained what happened to the sedan chair.

Among them, Ningshan and Ninghe were received by the emperor.

The shop owners and butchers selling meat along the street all stared at them, "The government has come to arrest Zhou Huai!" You can do it! ”

"Brother Ning also met the emperor!"

"Really, what does the emperor look like? What did they say? ”

Ning He had been feeling the enthusiastic palms of the villagers patting him, and he confirmed, "Zhou Papi was really arrested?" ”

The people on the side responded, "Really! There are a lot of people! And the chin is very high, and before leaving, he left his words, saying that you can't get past this level with anyone this time! ”

The brothers Ning He and Ning Shan glanced at each other, and they understood in their hearts.

"In this way, don't panic first," Ning He tried to calm down and think carefully, "The government will have to interrogate next." A conviction can only be made if it is verified. Everyone help, and think of ways to tell those who have family members who have been poisoned by the Zhou family, so that they can know that the emperor is calling the shots for our people! Then they all came to us brothers. Because after the government starts to try the case, it will definitely come to ask for witnesses! Let's go together! This time, I have to let the Zhou family repay the new and old debts together! ”

"Good!" The people on the side all volunteered, "I'm going to find Lao Zhangtou, he hates it so much, his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were taken away together!" ”

"I don't have to look for it, I'm here myself, Brother Ning, I'll go with you then!"

……

This meal was full of emotion, which immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the people.

The government over there was promoted by the emperor, and it didn't take long for someone to announce: Zhou Huai's case will be tried tomorrow!

One more day of delay, even the governor can't stand it. The governor is not happy, which of his men can be better?

The people of Shanyang County have never been as happy and united as they are today, and the whole thing is like the New Year.

At night, there were still many people gathered in the dilapidated courtyard of Ning's house and refused to leave.

Because they made an appointment to go together tomorrow, they slept for one night anyway, but they didn't expect to be unable to sleep at all.

Everyone nestled together, excited and a little apprehensive at the same time.

I don't know who mentioned such a sentence,

“…… Brother Ning, I can't sleep anyway, why don't you tell us what the emperor is like? ”

Ning He was reluctant, and he hadn't said anything since today. He was worried that there were a lot of vulgar words in the speeches of his uneducated villagers, and if any of them were stunned and 'insulted' the emperor, he would be uncomfortable.

However, his younger brother Ning Shan had a happier personality, and the villagers admired him, so he couldn't help the pride in his heart, so he also pouted, "Big brother, do you want to talk about it?" ”

Ning He didn't move.

"Big brother! Your Majesty didn't say anything, so you won't let us say it. ”

"Yes, Brother Ning, the twenty-six people here haven't even seen a prefect, just the two of you have seen the emperor, tell us about it. Or the second one, you say. You went too. ”

"I'll tell you." Ning He thought to himself, making his younger brother even more unreliable, "But listen to the story and listen to the story, you talk about the emperor, be polite." ”

"That's fine, there's no outsider here."

"Not outsiders, not outsiders. The emperor is a good emperor who is rare in a hundred years, let's not give him a bad moral. ”

"Oh......"

Everyone didn't expect Brother Ning to still think about this.

After that, Ning He began with the emperor summoning them, "...... When my second child and I were brought over, the emperor was sitting in front of the carriage, very young, younger than all of us, with a thin body, but he also looked a little strong, and his body was very upright, but at the beginning, where did we dare to look, so we lowered our heads, and then knelt. ”

Ning Shan's eyebrows also danced, and he said happily: "I'll demonstrate it to you again!" ”

Ning He kicked him directly, "Demonstrate kneeling and kowtowing?" Who are you going to worship? Lack of heart eyes, isn't it? ”

After saying this, he immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha! We don't mind! ”

Ning Shan scratched his head innocently, he actually wanted to show off, he was young, he had this vanity.

"Brother Ning, tell us quickly, what did the emperor say?"

Ning He took a breath, "Your Majesty...... The emperor's voice was very calm, he said that he was protecting the people, and whoever bullied the people, he would clean him up! ”

After everyone heard this, the emperor said this, which was really simple and exciting.

Then he said...... We cannot slander or wrongfully accuse good people. That's why he pointed at the governor! Ning He gradually became energetic, "That's a governor, a second-grade official, the emperor pointed at him like this, and then said to our brother: The governor is the biggest official here, and this matter will be investigated by him!" If you can't find out, you'll deal with him heavily! ”

The people in the room gritted their back molars one by one as if they were about to beat their chests, "Okay! ”

"And then? And then what? ”

"Then the emperor will give us silver." Ning Shan couldn't help it, "The emperor said that the Zhou family's salt factory may have to be shut down for a few days, for fear that we won't be able to get paid and be hungry, so he wants to give us money." ”

"The emperor's reward must be indispensable, right? Is it gold? ”

"I don't know." Ning Shan spread his hands, "Because my eldest brother didn't ask for it." ”

……

"Huh?" More than 20 people were dumbfounded, "Why not?" ”

"Brother Ning, were you so panicked that you didn't know that you didn't even want money?"

Ning Shan held his chin with both hands, and his eyes were also slanted at his eldest brother, with a helpless and powerless expression.

"I think so, we have troubled the emperor for this matter, and we have caused chaos to the emperor, and we owe a favor in ourselves, and we haven't done any more work, I really can't take this money."

"Are you stupid? What can you do for the emperor? ”

Ning He couldn't say anything when he asked this, and he really couldn't think of what the emperor needed him to do.

"And then?"

"And then we came back."

"Ah...... I really didn't take the money, huh? ”

"Nope."

Here's how it happened.

Immediately afterwards, others also asked: "Brother Ning, what is the emperor's posture?" Isn't it particularly magnificent? ”

"Brother Ning, are those big officials like little chickens when they come to the emperor? Ha ha. ”

……

Anyway, we had a great chat.

They have seen the world.

People are like this sometimes, they don't know, they haven't seen it, they don't think about it, but when they do, it's different.

Ning Shan was always in a state of flux, and when the discussion reached its climax, he said: "Brothers, I see that the guards around the emperor are very magnificent, wearing a big hat, and the clothes on his body are clean and powerful. After reading it, I thought, in the future, we will not be cooks, what kind of salt to dry, let's get a gun for the emperor, where is there danger, let's go forward to protect it, and no one dares to approach! That's amazing, and it's long-faced! ”

He was not ashamed to say it, but the others still laughed at him, "Then it will be your turn?" You went to the most poured toilets! ”

Ning Shan was not convinced, "That someone fell." Besides, why can't it be me? I have strength! ”

"You look ugly, the emperor should look good."

This is a bit offensive.

"You're ugly! Your eyes are slanted! ”

"Hahaha."

Later, Ning He also laughed, in fact, his second brother's words also hooked him, the world is difficult, they met someone who is willing to be the master of the people, if there is really a day when he can give up his life for the emperor, it is worth it for him to give up this life, it is better than turning salt water in this ghost place every day.

After chatting hotly, everyone's nervousness can be eased a little, and as soon as they relax, they will gradually become sleepy.

But Ning He never fell asleep, and then he went out lightly, sitting on the big stone in the courtyard and watching the stars in the sky, but in the end, he laughed at himself, his status was low, and he was delusional.
