"Yesterday, when the White Lotus Sect was exterminated, a fish escaped from the net. Today, this fish who slipped through the net came to the government office and brought a joint letter from the six thieves in Jinhua. The letter asks us to hand you over to them and leave them at their disposal, otherwise they will attack the city of Jinhuafu, burn and loot. After a moment of silence, the prefect said solemnly.

There was absolute silence in the room, and the sound of the howling wind and the terrible rain was especially noticeable now. The corners of Ning Caichen's mouth were slightly hooked, and he raised his eyes and said, "What is the prefect going to do?"

"To be honest, Benfu is actually extremely entangled in his heart. If you give in to the thief, your name in this life will be ruined. If you don't give in to the thieves, the people of Jinhua will be bullied. Lord Ning, you are also a Jinhua person, and you also know that this war has just subsided, and the people's livelihood has not yet recovered, if you come here again......" the prefect sighed and said.

Ning Caichen was silent and looked at him coldly.

The neck that was looked at by this gaze was cold, and the prefect turned his head away, and coughed: "Later, when I thought about it, I felt that this matter was really important, and I or even Jinhua officials could make a hasty decision." Therefore, I have already notified the well-known martial arts people and local families in Jinhua Mansion and asked them to come over as soon as possible to participate in the discussion of this matter. ”

"Discuss?" Ning Caichen smiled coldly, glanced at Luo Yinghao, and straightened his body: "Then wait for them to come over, I want to see if you will give me away as a five-grade official in the end." ”

In the middle of the night, all the so-called Jinhua characters with heads and faces arrived, sitting or standing, and standing in the room according to their status.

In front of countless inquiring eyes, the prefect recounted the cause and effect of this matter, and finally spoke: "You can think about it carefully, and discuss it for a while to see how to face this matter." ”

"Prefect, we can't soften our backs. An old man in a brocade robe said: "Otherwise, it will increase the arrogance of the other party, and evolve into a situation where people are swords and I am fish and meat." ”

"Liu Yunshi, although Ning Caichen saved your child in the grave mountain, please don't be emotional, and think more about your family. Zhang Rang, who was dead, spoke.

Liu Yunshi glanced at him coldly: "I don't need you Lord Zhang to teach you to do things, anyway, we have received the favor of Lord Ning...... Well, fourteen families, none of them would agree to address the threat in such a humiliating way. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the prefect who was sitting on the throne, if his memory was correct, the prefect's beloved daughter Qingyu was also among the fifteen people who were rescued.

The prefect saw this kind of gaze, but his face was still the same: "Speaking of which, this mansion still bears the favor of Lord Ning, but for the sake of the people of Jinhua, I dare not have the slightest heart of favoritism." Now that everyone is more or less here, let's vote on what to do. ”

"I do not support this humiliating sum. Luo Yinghao of the Ning Alliance was the first to speak: "Everyone, this kind of thing must not be a precedent, at this time, the thieves want Lord Ning, what if the second priority is everyone here? ”

"I support Lord Luo's opinion. A high-ranking official in Jinhua said solemnly. His daughter was among the fifteen.

"Isn't it too child's play to gamble with the lives of the people of the whole city for the sake of one person?" said a middle-aged man with a red face.

Ning Caichen turned his eyes to look at him, and Luo Yinghao's subtle voice came from his ears: "It's the patriarch of the Dong family, Dong Teng." ”

"Let's let Lord Ning explain his thoughts, whether it is one person who is more important, or the people of the city are more important. Zhang Rang and Dong Teng exchanged a look and said gloomily.

In Ning Caichen's heart, even if he inherited the inheritance of Haoran's righteousness, he still felt that he was more important. However, this kind of thing can be thought and done, but it must not be said. He is not a person in the Demon Dao, and saying this is equivalent to being stained.

And if he says that the people of the city are important, even if he doesn't mean it, he will deal a heavy blow to his alliance and disappoint everyone who defends him.

This is a set, a red fruit to a provocative trap, a sharp sword in language.

Under the gaze of all the upper-class people in Jinhua, Ning Caichen hooked the corners of his mouth, and his thin lips lightly opened: "I will lead people to exterminate the rudder of the White Lotus Sect, and the merit lies in Sheji, and the reward of the imperial court will rush to Jinhua in a few days." With such miraculous feats, he does not seek knighthood or silver, how can this official be promoted to the rank of a third-grade official? The four products are all given to a state in the matter, and the state officials can be punished according to the law. The three-grade imperial envoy said that the official inspected a mansion, hehe......"

His face was cold, his laughter was cold, and Zhang Rang, who was staring at him, seemed to be targeted by a poisonous snake, and there was a chill in his bones.

"Having said that, but the official is dependent on the law to exist, whether it is given to the matter, it is given to the matter, or the imperial history of the official, you need to act according to the law. I Zhang Rang didn't do anything illegal, and you can't punish me. ”

Ning Caichen sneered: "Oh, there is nothing illegal, no matter whether others believe you or not, I don't believe it anyway." ”

The panic in Zhang Rang's heart was even worse: "My lords, all the heads of the family, listen, you listen, in the middle of the matter, you actually threatened the officials in the palace in the court, how can you be so narrow-minded......

"Bang...... Oops. The lid of the cup in Luo Yinghao's hand flew out inexplicably, smashed on his mouth, and suddenly broke two teeth, 'shocked' Luo Yinghao hurriedly stood up, and hurriedly said with concern: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Lord Zhang, my hand shook when I drank tea, are you okay?"

was bruised and broke two teeth, Zhang Rang's painful tears were about to come out, and he shouted indistinctly: "Luo Yinghao, you did it on purpose, on purpose!"

Nonsense, who in the room can't see that I mean it. Luo Yinghao thought in his heart, but on his face was a picture of you wronged me, and the baby was unhappy: "Lord Zhang, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, be careful that I sue you for framing the court officials!"

Zhang Rang's heart was both angry and miserable, and he said hideously: "Do you think I am a fool? Do you think that the officials and heads of the families and the heroes of the rivers and lakes present are blind?

Luo Yinghao blinked, holding the idea that he would not pay for his life, and asked Ning Caichen: "Lord Ning, do you believe that I didn't mean it?"

Ning Caichen stared at his face for a long time, for a long time, and did not notice the slightest trace of red on it, and said in a vague tone: "How can a person like Lord Luo who is as high and bright as Lord Luo and shine with the sun and moon on purpose?"

As he spoke, he turned sharply and sighed: "At the end of school, you have to learn more from adults, it's because I'm too simple and ......kind."
