But he was grabbed.
There is one missing link in tonight's action plan, which is the location of the new granary.
The guy from the carriage shop had already gone to inquire, but Di Ying didn't know if he would be able to find out before dark.
Now, with Meng Zhenyao, a person who knew the details, in front of him, Di Ying had no choice but to risk his life and trust him.
This is a dangerous military expedition...
In fact, Di Ying knew that Meng Zhenyao was grateful to him, but he did not appreciate it.
He just freed an innocent man.
But the current situation is really special.
Seeing that Meng Zhenyao was available and Di Ying felt that he was a good person, he simply assigned the task to him.
Di Ying owed this favor.
The role that Meng Zhenyao can play tonight will be the most important and critical.
…
But looking at the light from the torches gradually approaching on the river, Di Ying couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Did something go wrong?
Could it be that Meng Zhenyao regretted it halfway?
After all, that would require him to take his wife Dong Yani into a dangerous situation.
After Meng Zhenyao was released from prison, he took Dong Yani back and moved out of Changshi Mansion to live independently.
This time, Di Ying originally wanted to arrange for an oiran to assist Meng Zhenyao.
However, Meng Zhenyao did not agree, and Dong Yani also invited herself to fight. Time was tight, and Di Ying had no time to argue with them, so she nodded.
It’s not that they are not worried. If something happens to them, their whole family will be gone...
If they really quit the operation midway, Di Ying would understand and would not complain.
At worst, let the bad guys who came to carry the stone bags step over you.
That’s how you were prepared, wasn’t it?
Di Ying took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and raised the torch in her hand higher.
…
As the flower boat gradually approached the embankment, Meng Zhenyao completed his mission.
He watched Ma Xinggui being stabbed to death by She Yanbo, while Wu Xiongcai was still following him in a daze, and he nodded towards his wife Yani who was hiding behind him.
Yani turned around and went to another cabin next to the passage, changed into normal clothes, then put on a bamboo hat and veil.
Sitting quietly in the chair, waiting for news from outside.
After his wife left, Meng Zhenyao shouted: "Killing!"
Then he rushed over to start a fight.
He was covered in blood.
By the way, all the cups, plates, drinks and other items in the cabin were knocked to the ground.
When Ma Xinggui and the others started fighting, several flower girls were so frightened that they ran to the back cabin.
They don't belong to anyone, they're just used to staying away from guests whenever they make a scene.
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, be wise and prudent to protect yourself.
I don't want to be implicated.
But the guards who were arranged outside the cabin to break the dike could not escape.
Originally, the masters were enjoying themselves in the cabin, but they were standing outside on the side of the ship.
Hearing the sound of fighting inside, he didn't pay attention.
I knew a beauty was coming in, but as a man, he drank too much, so it was normal for him to fight.
The masters had no one to give them orders.
It wasn't until he heard the cry of murder that he suddenly panicked and broke the window directly.
The sight before them made them take a breath of cold air.
The four young masters were covered in blood.
Mr. Ma was already lying down, Mr. She was still waving the dagger in his hand, Mr. Wu was holding Mr. She's legs, and Mr. Meng was jumping to pick up the bucket in the corner, and poured it over the three people. .
What a mess of words.
…
In the city. Governor's Mansion. In the study room in the front yard.
Ma Guangjin, the governor of Bingzhou, and She Jianhong, the governor of Bingzhou, were playing chess cross-legged on the couch.
"This rain is getting lighter and lighter..."
She Jianhong picked up a black stone and placed it on the chessboard. Hearing the rain outside the window, he said with some concern.
Ma Guangjin smiled nonchalantly, gently pressed down the white teapot held between his two fingers, took back his hand, picked up the tea cup, and slowly blew the foam on it.
He opened his mouth and said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't come down. Once the dam is opened and the floodwaters are released, we have the final say on what to write in the memorial. Once Xinggui and the others come back, we will just wait to receive the disaster relief food funds from the court." That’s it.”
"I always feel a little uneasy. Brother Guang Jin, do you think there will be any hidden dangers if we defy God's will this time?"
Seeing that his chess path was blocked, She Jianhong had no intention of trying to solve the situation. He simply leaned against the window, looked at the dark night outside, and said worriedly.
"What hidden dangers could there be? We have been working together for five years, right? It has always been smooth. This year is just a temporary shortage of grain, and that is a small matter.
When the court's disaster relief grains and money arrive, and we distribute them generously, maybe those untouchables will kowtow to thank us and give us the Wanmin Umbrella.
This guy can't do anything good until the critical moment.
In the past years, things went so smoothly for them, but they even called us corrupt and evil officials behind our backs.
Huh, think of it as a lesson to them this time!
After this, no one will dare to mess around anymore. "
Seeing that he had won, Ma Guangjin took another sip of tea proudly, put down the teacup, and began to pick up the chess pieces on the chessboard.
"Brother Guang Jin is really far-sighted. With your analysis, we can really get a blessing in disguise."
Thinking about getting the "Umbrella of All Peoples", She Jianhong didn't worry anymore.
He turned around and helped clean up the chessboard together, with a smooth face and a smile.
Tonight, something big happened and they couldn't sleep. They got together to play chess and talk, just waiting for the news of the breach of the embankment to be sent to the court to report the news.
Ma Guangjin put away the chess pieces and looked at She Jianhong's smiling face. He suddenly thought of something and asked him.
"My troops cannot enter the city in large numbers. You still have to have a good relationship with Chen Jun from the city defense camp.
It will take at least half a month for the royal court's food and salary to be delivered. During this period, if the unruly people keep causing trouble, your jail in the governor's office will not be able to close it.
Besides, keeping it closed all the time is not an option. If someone goes to Beijing to complain without fear of death, it will add unnecessary trouble to us.
If you have more contact with Chen Jun, it's best if you can win him over. You were a little too impatient last time. Wasn't it the woman in charge of your house who robbed his tenants?
Just give me more money. You want to beat up Chen Jun's father who complained to you. Do you hate him that much?
As a human being, you still have to have a bigger picture. We should not be confused about major matters, and we should not leave too many clues about minor matters, as this will not be beneficial to our career. "
"Brother Guangjin, I know you are doing this for my own good."
When She Jianhong heard Ma Guangjin mention Chen Jun and that old man Chen, he became a little angry. The chess pieces are no longer collected.
He patted his legs and said: "That old guy is really annoying. Didn't he just kill a tenant's wife? As for that?"
I compensated him, and I also said that I would just compensate that person's wife.
Isn't it just to have a good relationship with his son Chen Jun? Otherwise, who would care patiently?
But that old guy just refused to obey me, life and death, and wanted me to kill the person in charge.
Can I cut it? After cutting it off, do I still want my face? "
