I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

?

"How dare you ask someone to look for him when you're not sure? What if it's all in vain?"

"We should do our best and leave the rest to fate. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Besides, if Qinzhou prefecture fails, there are still Fengxiang and Xingyuan prefectures. At worst, we can go to Minzhou.

After all, not everyone is stupid enough to throw away the achievements they have made. "

Ning Ning firmly believed that stupidity was only the personal behavior of the Qizhou prefect, and there would always be people who could see clearly.

Sure enough, around noon, Bai Li and Chen Sha came back, and they brought back an "army of a hundred people" consisting of yamen runners, militia, and servants to guard the palace.

Lord Xiao was among them. He was just a civil servant who had followed the team here and his old bones were weak. However, he had to hold on because of the call from Qingyun Zuoqi.

Although Lord Xiao had imagined the scene of coming here countless times in his mind, he was still a little shocked when he saw with his own eyes that all the people here were killed.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with these problems, several people came from the village.

He looked up and was stunned.

The woman in the lead looked very familiar. She must be Si Yang who had saved his daughter's life before.

But...why is Si Yang here?

Just when he was feeling confused, Ning Ning spoke first: "Long time no see, Sir Xiao."

"Uh, long time no see, but why is Miss Si here? What is this?"

He looked around suspiciously, unable to understand what was happening for a moment.

"Formally introduce, I am not Si Yang, but Ning Ning, the daughter of Ning Zhongyi, the gold official of Qizhou. Si Yang is my friend. A few days ago, my family encountered a great disaster, and I had no choice but to go to the capital in the name of my friend to seek justice for my father. Saving Lord Xiao's daughter was an accident, and I had no choice but to deceive Lord Xiao. Please don't be offended."

It would be fine if Ning Ning was anyone else, but she was Ning Ning.

The fact that Ning Zhongyi, a gold official in Minzhou, embezzled 100,000 taels of gold shocked the government and the public. Later, his daughter overturned the case for him, found out the real culprit behind the scenes, and brought justice to her father.

The royal family was grateful for Ning Ning's filial piety and loyalty, so they asked her to temporarily take over the position of Minzhou Jinguan in place of her brother whose whereabouts were unknown.

This matter was announced to the world, and the imperial edict was naturally sent to officials in various state governments at first, and posted by the officials themselves.

At that time, Lord Xiao even praised the fact that there were such filial daughters in the world. If his daughter could be like this, he would die with peace of mind.

He never thought that things would happen so suddenly, and the filial daughter he envied turned out to be someone he actually knew.

Moreover, he also helped her go to Beijing.

This is really...amazing.

Lord Xiao's face was filled with excitement and emotion. At this moment, he couldn't find any other words except to say "wonderful".

"The saint asked me to return to Minzhou to temporarily take charge of the overall situation on behalf of my brother. I never expected that I would encounter people from Buyi Village doing evil as soon as I arrived in Qizhou.

Fortunately, the Saint asked the Qingyun Left Cavalry to escort me home, so we were able to suppress the bandits. I didn't expect that the Qizhou prefect would think that we were in cahoots with Buyi Village and didn't dare to come and take over here. I remembered Master Xiao, so I could only inform you. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you."

"Miss Ning, what are you talking about? You are not disturbing me. In fact, Buyi Village has committed many evil deeds in our Qinzhou and Qizhou areas, which has aroused public outrage. Previously, several of our states and counties have joined forces to suppress the bandits, but they are too powerful and we have all returned empty-handed.

Later, we reported this matter to the court, but we happened to encounter the missing gold case, and the court ordered us to monitor Buyi Village at all times, and when the matter was resolved, we would do our best to take down Buyi Village. "

The implication was that what the Qizhou prefect said was indeed correct, and the imperial court did ask them to be patient and that it would send troops sooner or later.

So there is nothing wrong with him choosing to protect himself.

"Then why did Lord Xiao choose to come?" Ning Ning became interested.

Lord Xiao smiled a little embarrassedly: "To be honest, I have been working in Qinzhou for ten years and twelve years. In these years, I have been thinking about finding an opportunity to transfer back to Kyoto, but unfortunately I have not made any achievements. Now the opportunity is in front of me. At most, it will be a little risky, but if it works, there will be hope to return to Kyoto."

Ning Ning understood: "Indeed, officials are planning. I can only say that Lord Xiao's fortune has indeed come. I hope that after Lord Xiao rises to a higher position, he can still help my daughter."

"Miss Ning, you are too polite. Speaking of rising to prominence, you are a big celebrity around the saint. No one is more noble than you. In the future, I will have to ask Miss Ning to help me more."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Ning Ning introduced Shang Wenqi to him.

Lord Xiao naturally remembered Shang Wenqi.

After all, it was rare to find such a tall man at that time. Besides, Shang Wenqi had pretended to be Ning Ning's husband, whose name was Chu Yun.

All in all, Lord Xiao was deeply impressed.

Unexpectedly, Shang Wenqi turned out to be the famous Qingyun Left Cavalry Commander-in-Chief. Lord Xiao couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Fortunately, he didn't blame or mistreat them both at the beginning, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

After the "recognition of relatives" was over, everyone began to discuss what to do. Ning Ning suggested that they should first escort these people back to Qinzhou, and wait until they destroyed Qinglong Village, and then have Lord Xiao escort them back to Beijing together.

It was already a surprise that we could get a Buyi Village, but I didn't expect that they would also plot against Qinglong Village.

Lord Xiao was stunned. Although he was the prefect, he obviously had no say here. As a tool responsible for delivering prisoners, he could only cooperate silently and do whatever he was told to do.

"But what if the Qizhou prefect regrets his decision and comes to ask for my return?"

After all, these people were arrested in Qizhou. Strictly speaking, he was an official from Qinzhou, and he crossed the border by going to Qizhou to arrest people.

"It doesn't matter. If they want, let them catch him themselves. Just say that you are only following orders to detain the prisoner and have no right to hand him over to others. If he still refuses to give in, let him go to the commander-in-chief of the Qingyun Left Cavalry."

Ning Ning pushed Shang Wenqi out without any hesitation.

Anyway, his official power is enough to overwhelm those county magistrates.

With Ning Ning's promise, Lord Xiao felt a little relieved and began to direct everyone to work.

For those that were already dead, their heads were simply cut off and taken away.

In ancient times, military merit was still calculated based on the number of heads cast, and the same was true for suppressing bandits.

As for those who were still alive, they were directly escorted back. As for those who were to be killed or cut into pieces in the later stage, they would be executed by the court.

After everything here was done, the prefect of Qinzhou took his leave first.

The little princess in the carriage couldn't help wondering: "Where are we going? Aren't we going with that Lord Xiao?"

"We have things to do."

Ning Ning calmly greeted everyone and went to the village again.

At this time, Si Yang had also woken up and expressed his gratitude to Ning Ning for rescuing him.

Ning Ning smiled and shook her hand: "I'll take you back to see Chu Yun now!"
