Chen Mingye and several prisoners beside him were in charge of turning over the soil, which was purely hard work, and it was not difficult to do.

A group of people faced the loess with their backs to the sky, although the autumn wind was strong, they couldn't stop sweating.

Chen Mingye was distracted to observe the surroundings, but suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

He raised his head and glanced at it from a distance, and in the distance on the horizon, a group of people rode horses to lead the way, but in the center was a carriage, moving forward without hurry.

Next to the carriage, accompanied by a horse, even if he was wearing armor, Chen Mingye also recognized it at a glance, it was Jiang Ying's posture.

In this way, the identity of the person driving the car is self-evident.

Chen Mingye observed silently, and the movements in his hands continued unhurriedly.

And the guards of the grange here are all stretching their necks, and they are all looking at the cars slowly moving here.

"Where's the caretaker here?"

The group soon approached, and a general rode forward and asked loudly.

"Here, here. Scar-faced Lao Wei and the big fat Lao Liu hurriedly put down the wine glasses in their hands and rushed out of the shack.

"My lord, who are you?" Scarface Lao Wei looked at the strange general who was immediately dressed and solemn on the other side in a little confusion, and asked.

"This is General Luo from Kyoto," Jiang Ying rode over beside him and said to the two of them, "Today, I am here to inspect it, and you are on duty normally." ”

"Yes. Lao Wei replied, standing aside respectfully, his eyesight was naturally very fine, and he didn't put one more fart in this battle.

Lao Liu naturally looked at Lao Wei with the horse's head, and when he saw Lao Wei standing respectfully, he naturally didn't dare to walk away, his huge body shrunk together, and he looked aggrieved.

"Father-in-law Li, it's here. Jiang Ying glanced at the Grange and said into the car.

"I'm tired of Zhen Nanhou to put down so many things in his hands and accompany me, a bad old man. A shrill voice came out of the car, although the tone was quite peaceful, but the sharpness of it still made people can't help but have a faint disgust.

"Father-in-law is too polite, you came from Kyoto thousands of miles away, and I can walk dozens of miles with you. Jiang Ying smiled and said.

"Well, since Zhennanhou is also present today, today's matter is better handled, and it is much more plain and misunderstood when I save it. Gonggong Li smiled, lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage with the support of the attendants.

"My father-in-law said that there was something at the banquet yesterday, and Jiang Ying was also curious for a long time, but she didn't know why she came to this small grange. Jiang Ying wondered.

"Hahaha, Zhennan is in no hurry, and let me talk to you slowly. Gonggong Li narrowed his old eyes, swept his gaze over the people present one by one, and then fell on the bodies of those prisoners in the distance.

Jiang Ying listened attentively. ”

Gonggong Li stepped forward slowly, and looked carefully while walking around the grange, but his mouth was already open: "Can Zhennan Hou know the Duke of Qi Guogong of the Kai Dynasty?"

"Naturally, I know that Taizu started a business, and Qi Guogong has the merit of helping. Jiang Ying nodded and said.

"Then do you know that the son of the Duke of Qi is collaborating with the enemy and treason?" asked Gonggong Li when he turned his head and looked at her seriously.

"This incident shocked Haoming up and down, and the crowd was angry, and I naturally knew about it. Jiang Ying's face did not change.

"Oh," Gonggong Li smiled and asked, "What does Zhen Nanhou think?"

"What does my father-in-law mean?" Jiang Ying asked rhetorically.

Gonggong Li and her looked at each other deeply, and let out a long laugh: "Jokes, Zhennanhou doesn't have to take it seriously, just because today's events have a very close connection with the above two people I mentioned." ”

Jiang Ying frowned and said, "If my father-in-law has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Zhennanhou doesn't have to be anxious," Gonggong Li waved his hand, his gaze continued to sweep over the ragged prisoners in the field, pointed forward casually, and said slowly, "Go, bring someone back for me to ask questions." ”

Immediately, a soldier left, and it didn't take long for a prisoner to return.

The prisoner looked at the big scene in front of him in a daze, and the whole person was trembling with nervousness.

"What's the daze, don't kneel down when you see the adults!" The guard next to him saw it and immediately scolded.

The prisoner was frightened, and immediately knelt on the ground with a "poof", and it was strange to say that the prisoner, who had been trembling all the time, seemed to have stopped a lot after kneeling.

"Just ask, why bother," Gonggong Li waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let me ask you, how long have you been here?"

The prisoner was like a fool, just staring blankly at the middle-aged eunuch in front of him in brocade clothes and high hats, unable to say a word.

"If you ask you, you can't let out a fart for a long time. Lao Liu on the side was anxious, for fear that this big man would implicate himself if he was unhappy, so he habitually kicked at the prisoner.

The prisoner was kicked and seemed to be frightened, and quickly curled up together, shrunk his head, and completely formed a posture of being beaten.

"Hey, that's it," Gonggong Li sighed, "There are a few people who have been exiled here after all these years." Your Majesty is also suspicious, and the old slave has no choice but to be a wicked person. ”

Everyone looked at him silently, and Jiang Ying also stood on the side, listening to the middle-aged eunuch's muttering to herself, a light flashed in her eyes.

"Forget about this person, take it down," Gonggong Li waved his hand, turned his gaze to the two guards waiting respectfully in front of him, and asked, "Do you have a prisoner named Chen Mingye here?"

Lao Liu's body was shocked, and his eyes became a little suspicious.

Gonggong Li looked at it carefully, and immediately pointed at him and said, "Come, you say." ”

Lao Liu's face turned pale suddenly, and he said tremblingly: "There is such a person, the villain is ignorant, how offended, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Gonggong Li was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Oh, why are you offended?"

"Villain ......" Lao Liu was just about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of the scar-faced old Wei with a respectful look, those words from yesterday suddenly came to mind, he took a long breath, stabilized his voice, and then spoke, the villain is a little heavier when he scolds that kid on weekdays, and he is more offended, please forgive me. “”

Gonggong Li nodded and said, "It's okay, since you know him, tell me what kind of person he usually is." ”

Lao Liu was dumbfounded, what kind of person?

The scar-faced old Wei said at this moment: "Lord Qiyu, I am the caretaker with this fat man, this fat man is a little stupid, he can only eat, drink, scold, and ask, if the adult wants to ask, the villain is a lot better than the fat man." ”

"Oh?" Gonggong Li looked at Lao Wei with interest, stretched out his finger and pointed at him, "It's a little interesting, you can say it if you want to, you can say it well, there is a reward, if it is not good, or dare to lie to me, you must know it in your heart." So, do you dare to say that?"

Lao Wei smiled: "If you say something simple, you will be rewarded, and the villain will naturally rush to say it." ”

"Okay!" Gonggong Li clapped his hands, "I like your temperament, okay, let you tell me about this Chen Mingye." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law. Scar-faced Lao Wei looked happy, and the moment he lowered his head, his eyes were deep.
