Xiao Ge said: "That's right, as long as there is hope and follow the track of hope, you can live well".

The next day, Xiao Ge, Zhao Delin, Liu Yuxiang, Ding Zhishan bid farewell to Wang Xin and left Xinyang City, now the famine problem of the people of Xinyang City can be temporarily alleviated, they have to go back to restore their lives, passing by Qi Yue Mountain, everyone stopped, Ding Zhishan kicked the horse's hooves, came to Xiao Ge, strangled the reins of the horse, and said: "Brother Xiao, let's say goodbye, the matter of Qi Yue Mountain will trouble you", Xiao Ge rode on the horse, strangled the reins of the horse, and replied: " Please rest assured, this matter will be handled by me, and Xiao will definitely give you a satisfactory answer", Ding Zhishan said: "Thank you, let's say goodbye, there will be a period later", Xiao Ge said: "There will be a period later".

A few days later, above the court, Xiao Ge as a soldier of the Ministry of War, naturally also to participate in the court meeting, the official worship of the military department of the second day to pacify Qi Yue Mountain, kill Guo Zhengfan, this news has been in the court of the boiling, Xiao Ge entered the hall, everyone came to the strange eyes, head to ear, discussion, pointing, Xiao Ge wearing the official uniform of the military department, high spirits came to the court, looking at the civil and military officials to point to themselves, did not take it as a thing at all, this time to the court is just to come to the emperor, Xiao Ge held his head high, the first time as an official, he made such a big move。

Xiao Ge came to the top of the main hall, knelt down on one knee, and said: "Meet the emperor", the emperor said: "Please get up", Xiao Ge said: "Thank you emperor".

The emperor said: "Xiao Aiqing has made a great contribution this time, and I have made a great contribution to getting back five million loads of grain, which is indispensable, reward", among the hundred officials, one person shouted: "The emperor", the emperor wanted to reward Xiao Ge, but was interrupted by others, that person is Taifu, the emperor's master, the official worships from Yipin, and masters the formulation and implementation of the laws of the imperial court, this Taifu is Xu Zhong, the master of today's saint, the master of teaching, familiar with astronomy and geography, and humanities.

Xu Zhong said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say", the emperor said: "Taifu has something to say, please speak", Xu Zhong said: "Xiao Ge was able to recover five million quintals of grain, which is indeed indispensable, but Guo Zhengfan is a first-class official of the dynasty, why did Xiao Ge kill him, so where is the law of the Ming Dynasty, where is the majesty", everyone has exchanged ears left and right, and the words are not stopped, the emperor said: "Xiao Ge did kill Guo Zhengfan, but you don't know that the five million quintals of grain this time was done by Guo Zhengfan and Qi Yueshan's people" 。

Xu Zhong said: "Everything has to be spoken according to the law, and now that Guo Zhengfan is dead, no matter how much we say, there is no response from the parties, and besides, we have no circumstantial evidence, Xiao Ge's behavior does not know whether Lu Dao is framed by family stolen goods."

Zhao Delin said: "Lord Xu Zhong, Lord Xu, it is written in the Daming Decree that the law is high, and anyone who kills an official must be in prison, isn't it", Xu Zhong said: "Yes, the Daming Decree is like this", Xiao Ge said: "Your Majesty, since this Lord Xu wants to send me to prison, Weichen is worthy of his heart, and if he does not kill Xiao Ge, he will not be able to eliminate everyone's resentment." , The emperor is still hesitating, Xiao Ge is a rare general, born in the rivers and lakes, but his father is a former general, and it is natural for the son to inherit his father's business, this is such a great credit to Xiao Ge, but he still wants him to go to prison, just because of the Ming Dynasty's 'reason', the emperor said: "What else do you have to say about the Qing family", I didn't expect the officials to say in unison: "Prison", and knelt down one after another.

The emperor couldn't eliminate the resentment of the hundred officials, and said: "In this case, come and put Xiao Ge in prison", Zhao Delin said: "Your Majesty" , The emperor waved his hand categorically, no one was allowed to talk more, Xiao Ge was taken away by a group of officers and soldiers, with Xiao Ge's martial arts, he wanted to escape, it was not a problem at all, Xiao Ge wanted to go to prison, but it was to appease the people's hatred, these officials all wanted to cause Xiao Ge to go to prison, the disaster of Shuntianfu Prison, Xiao Ge enjoyed sitting in the cell very much, the two people guarding the cell did not dare to be rough with Xiao Ge, he was a Jianghu person, these people couldn't afford to provoke Xiao Ge at all, and he knew Xiao Ge's martial arts moves, but once he entered the prison, he was a squire of the military department of the dynasty, and there would be a prison disaster。

In the evening, the emperor came to the prison, followed by Zhao Delin, Xiao Ge saw that the emperor of the Ninety-Five came to visit him, and arched his hand and said: "Meet the emperor", as soon as he entered the prison, he was a prisoner, Xiao Ge is a person from the rivers and lakes, and his backbone is very heavy, he does not kneel to see the emperor, and the emperor does not blame, and said: "Xiao Ge, it's not that I don't want to defend you, Xu Zhong is a loyal minister, he is the one who makes the law, and even I don't dare to tamper with it in front of his law.

Xiao Ge said: "It is indeed a good thing to have a law, Weichen does not dare to refute", Zhao Delin said: "Xiao Ge, do you remember the Dongying people", Xiao Ge thought about it, he was very familiar with the Dongying people themselves, the lord captured Wen Jing, how could he not know about him, Xiao Ge nodded, I don't know what Zhao Delin wanted to say, Zhao Delin continued: "There is urgent news from Shandong", Xiao Ge read in his mouth: "Shandong, what happened" , The three of them spoke through the prison door, Xiao Ge didn't care about this cell at all, if he wanted to escape, unless the iron door could close Xiao Ge, when he was in Tianmen, Xiongfei made his own copper walls in order to be able to close Xiao Ge.

Zhao Delin said: "The Dongying people invaded the sea and wanted to take away the control of my Ming Dynasty on the coast", Xiao Ge said: "What is the emperor going to do, do you want to let these Dongying people be powerful", the emperor said: "I want to hear your opinion", Xiao Ge said: "There is a girl who is still in the hands of the Dongying people, and they use this girl to blackmail me", the emperor said: "There is such a thing, I will give you soldiers and horses, take that girl back, just kill the spirit of the Dongying people", Zhao Delin said: " The girl you are talking about is a quiet little girl, the Dongying person called the Lord seems to have very high martial arts, and they are all above you and me", Xiao Ge said: "If you don't say good, I haven't figured out what that Dongying person is until now, and the martial arts are very high, and I can't even touch him."

The emperor said: "It seems that the people of Dongying have premeditated and want to get a piece of the land of the Ming Dynasty, but they are wishful thinking."

Xiao Ge arched his hand and said: "As long as the emperor has the heart to destroy the Dongying people, even if Weichen goes to the soup and fights the fire, he will kill the Dongying people, and Hugh wants the Dongying people to cross the coast", Zhao Delin said: "Then Brother Xiao should come out now, the emperor", the emperor said: "Of course, come to someone, open the lock", Xiao Ge stretched out his hand to interrupt and said: "Weichen can't go out of the city now", the emperor can't understand Xiao Ge's words, the cell is a place of bad luck, but Xiao Ge doesn't want to come out, is he hearing the wrong thing, said lightly:" You should come out and study how to deal with the Dongying people, not in prison, I can allow you to come out", Xiao Ge said: "Weichen hides in the cell for a purpose", the emperor was surprised and said: "What purpose".

Xiao Ge said: "Only when Weichen is imprisoned, the Dongying who is called the Lord can rest assured about Weichen, let go of his vigilance, and ask Lord Zhao to help me run away", Zhao Delin said: "What way to run."

Xiao Ge said: "Please invite my Jianghu brothers to come here, although this is a matter of the court, but I still believe that the Jianghu people have this ability, and the martial arts of the Dongying people are not weak", Zhao Delin said: "Definitely, rest assured, I will definitely call your brothers on the rivers and lakes over", Xiao Ge said: "There is one more thing", the emperor said: "What is the matter", Xiao Ge said: "Please also ask the emperor to draw up a holy decree, please Wuxi City Governor Liu Guang to come to the court" , Liu Guang, the emperor has heard of this name, how many years have forgotten it, every city has a prefect, so many prefects and the emperor can't remember it all, I don't know who this Liu Guang is, and said lightly: "Liu Guang, who is this person."

Xiao Ge arched his hand and said: "Liu Guang is a very ambitious person, he has been an official for more than 20 years, but he is still the prefect of Wuxi City, and he asked the emperor to recruit him back to the court", the emperor realized that he did not reuse others well, and said: "Okay, rest assured, I will draw up a holy decree and let Zhao Delin bring it over with him and recruit Liu Guang back", Xiao Ge arched his hand and said: "Thank you to the emperor, Weichen will thank the emperor for Liu Guang first", the emperor said: "Xiao Ge, if you have any other requirements, I will definitely meet them."

Xiao Ge said: "Now that Weichen has nothing to do, when Lord Zhao goes to Jiangnan, please keep a low profile, the master's martial arts are very high, be careful, don't make a big show", Zhao Delin nodded and said: "Okay, definitely."

The emperor said: "How long do you plan to live here", Xiao Ge said: "Wait for my Jianghu brothers to come to Jingshi, find a way to deal with the lord first, and the other Dongying people may not be afraid", the emperor said: "Okay, since this is the case, on the day you are released from prison, I will canonize you as a general, and you will occupy your father's position, and reproduce your father's heroic style", Xiao Ge arched his hand and said: "Thank the emperor", the emperor said: "You have suffered a little in prison these days, and when the time is ripe, I will not treat you badly."

Zhao Delin said to the official who was guarding the cell behind him: "Listen to me, Xiao Ge is a big hero, don't treat Xiao Ge badly, serve him with good wine and food", those people hurriedly nodded and replied: "Yes, yes."

Zhao Delin turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, let's go back first, it will be bad to be seen by others", the emperor said: "Okay, then I will go back to the palace first, and you still have to do things", Xiao Ge found a table, wrote out a book, handed it to Zhao Delin, and said: "Take this, Chen Yanbo and they can believe it", Zhao Delin took a piece of paper written by Xiao Ge and said: "I must live up to my mission."

After the emperor and Zhao Delin left, Xiao Ge sat alone in the cell, took out a token from his arms, which read 'General Order', and recalled that in Qiyue Mountain, Guo Zhengfan handed over the talisman to Xiao Ge before he died, and said something meaningful.
