Wu Tiezhu was silent for a while. Then he looked back at his parents' graves and said, "Xiaochen, I want to go to the battlefield with you." Ning Chen shook his head, "No, you are the only one in your family. Now that Uncle Wu and the others are gone... you have to stay and continue the Wu family's incense." Wu Tiezhu said in a deep voice: "Xiaochen, just let me go with you!" "Father, mother, and Chuntao are gone... I don't want to be alone." "Xiaochen, although I don't have any other skills, I have arm strength, and I often go hunting in the mountains, and my archery skills are also very good... You helped me get revenge, I want to stay by your side to protect you!" Ning Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you really thought it through? On the battlefield, swords and knives have no eyes, and you may not be able to come back alive after going." Wu Tiezhu nodded, "I've thought it through!" "Okay! I promise you." Wu Tiezhu showed a simple smile on his face, then kowtowed to his parents' graves again, got up and left with Ning Chen.
Ning Chen and Wu Tiezhu came to Aunt Lan's house. Aunt Lan had already prepared the meal. Ning Chen drank two large bowls of wild vegetable porridge, and then left contentedly. He did not go to the Yang'an County Office. Ma Bing was not worthy of his personal interrogation. He returned to Lingzhou and found Jiang Zhengyang, asking him to send someone to the Yang'an County Office for interrogation. Ning Chen explained two points. First, the anti-bandit tax collected by the Ma family should be returned in full... and the remaining property should be confiscated. Second, all male members of the Ma family over the age of twelve should be sent to a bitter and cold place to build city walls, and the female members should be sent to the Jiaofangsi. Zhang Yuancang and others were beheaded in Caishikou today. The real Zhang Yuancang and others have been hidden. Ning Chen asked Qi Yuanzhong and Yuan Long to lead the army to board the ship and set off early tomorrow morning. He would stay in Lingzhou for a day to deal with some trivial matters. During this period, he wrote a memorial, together with the charges against Zhang Yuancang and others, and asked someone to rush to the capital. He killed so many court officials in one breath, and this matter must be reported to Emperor Xuan in person. Feng Qizhen and Chen Chong found Ning Chen. Seeing the two of them smiling obscenely, you know that these two animals are not holding back their farts. "Ning Chen, are you at the Jiaofangsi tonight?" Feng Qizhen smiled very obscenely, "I tell you, we went there last night... The girls at the Lingzhou Jiaofangsi are not worse than those in the capital."
Chen Chong nodded repeatedly, "We also saw the courtesan last night... That woman is so damn good-looking, I feel weak at the sight of her." "Ning Chen, if you go there... With your talent, you will definitely win." Ning Chen stared at them speechlessly. "I'm asking you two, do you have anything else in your mind besides the frivolous things about your lower body?" Feng Qizhen didn't care, "My parents have passed away long ago, and I'm not married... People in our line of work may look glorious on the surface, but they may fail one day. I have no ties, so it's not too much to have some fun, right?" Ning Chen: "???" But what Feng Qizhen said is not without reason. He looked at Chen Chong, "You have parents above you, a wife and children below you... What reason do you have to have fun?" "I'm in good health... Besides, I give all my salary to my family. Usually, when I go to the Jiaofangsi, you treat me, so I'll go for nothing." Chen Chong patted his chest, and such shameless words were said by him with righteous words and pride. Ning Chen was completely convinced. Feng Qizhen laughed and said, "Ning Chen, you don't have to spend money tonight, I'll treat you!" "You're not going to go, go away... I'm the commander of an army now, what's the point of going to the Jiaofangsi every day?" "Go away! Go by yourselves... Remember to set off tomorrow morning, don't delay the business." Feng Qizhen said, "You really don't want to go?" Ning Chen shook his head. "That courtesan is no less beautiful than Miss Yudie..." Ning Chen said unhappily, "If you keep talking nonsense, get back on the boat." The two dared not talk nonsense anymore and ran away. Ning Chen shook his head helplessly, "What a beast." The next day, Ning Chen and others boarded the boat and prepared to set off. Feng Qizhen and Chen Chong came back early. Although these two guys are lustful, they have never failed to do their job. Next, they will have to float on the water for more than ten days. They will first go to Chenzhou, and then change to land. If they march quickly, they can reach Beilin Pass in five days. Beilin Pass is the destination of their trip. During these days, Ning Chen taught Wu Tiezhu how to use a musket and some fighting skills.
Wu Tiezhu has a good understanding and learns quickly. Especially his archery, he often goes into the mountains to hunt, and his archery is better than that of ordinary soldiers. ...... Beijing, the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. A carrier pigeon flew over and landed on the fence outside the pigeon house. The pigeon house is a place where carrier pigeons are raised. The pigeon breeder walked out quickly, took off the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, and then found Steward Ding. "Standard Ding, it's a message from Lingzhou." Steward Ding hummed, waved his hand to let him go, and then took the secret letter to see the left prime minister. The left prime minister was drinking tea in the study with a big belly. When he saw the content of the secret letter, his face suddenly changed and he stood up. "Damn, this bastard... is against me everywhere." The left prime minister grabbed the teacup and smashed it to the ground in a rage. Butler Ding was ready to hide, but the Left Prime Minister paused and gently put the teacup down. He sat down expressionlessly, his eyes cold. Butler Ding was curious, but didn't dare to ask more. After a while, the left prime minister spoke up himself: "Something happened in Lingzhou... Our way of making money is cut off." Butler Ding was shocked, "Is it the gold mine that's in trouble?" The left prime minister nodded, "Ning Chen found out." Butler Ding's face changed, "How could he find out about the gold mine? It shouldn't be... Could someone have tipped him off?" The left prime minister waved his hand, "This bastard's hometown is in Lingzhou. I roughly guessed that he would stay in Lingzhou, and I had already reminded Zhang Yuancang in advance to let him be careful... I didn't expect this waste to be wiped out by Ning Chen." "This way of making money is now completely cut off... This bastard is still a little capable." Butler Ding was a little panicked, "Prime Minister, what should we do next? Ning Chen will definitely report this to His Majesty, we have to find a way to get out of it." "What are you panicking about?" The left prime minister glanced at him and sneered, "Although Ning Chen has some skills, he is too young after all, and sometimes he can't help but act rashly. If you move, you will do something stupid. " "He killed Zhang Yuancang and all the related personnel... Zhang Yuancang was the only one who could identify me. Now he is dead and there is no evidence." Butler Ding breathed a sigh of relief, and then sarcastically said: "This Ning Chen is really stupid... Once Zhang Yuancang died, this matter became a headless case. Even if His Majesty holds him accountable, it will not involve the Prime Minister." The left prime minister narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since this financial path is cut off, some people are useless... You go and clean up your ass and don't leave any clues." Butler Ding hesitated for a moment and asked: "Prime Minister, how do you deal with Ma Kaicheng?"
The left prime minister glanced at him and said lightly: "This matter concerns the lives and property of all of us. All hidden dangers must be dealt with... Tell Ma Kaicheng that I will take good care of his family." Butler Ding nodded, his eyes sinister, and said: "Yes, I understand, I will do it now!"
