After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Xu Zhenying added next to him: "The official examination will end in ten days at most. In other words, it will be in your village in twenty days at most."

With the time determined, several villages immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They never expected that this matter could be completed so smoothly.

There was no prevarication or arguing throughout the whole process, and it was all done so easily?

If this happened in the past, I would have to travel for ten days and a half, doing everything in order to barely be able to talk to the person in charge.

The village chiefs burst into tears of gratitude. When Xu Zhenying saw that they were about to leave, he stood up first and said, "Why don't you go register with Ming Xiaoshuang first, and I won't keep you here."

She smiled again and said: "When I go back, I will also publicize it to the people in the village, saying that our Jinzhou Mansion is now headed by a different person. Everything here is new and we don't follow the old rules. Everyone is welcome to come. Take a walk and take a look, to avoid rumors that I am good at killing people with three heads and six arms."

Several village chiefs laughed a little awkwardly, quickly apologized and asked for mercy, and then followed Ming Xiaoshuang out.

After walking a few steps, the old man in green robe received a look from his companion, took out half a coin, secretly put it in his hand, then stepped forward and pulled Ming Xiaoshuang affectionately: "Director Ming, please be careful. It's no respect, please accept it."

Ming Xiaoshuang hadn't felt like accepting a bribe for a long time.

Thinking about it carefully, the last time was when the prisoners were forced to go into exile last year.

It's strange to say that in the past, he was expecting bribes from his subordinates, but now the money handed over by the old man in green robe was like a hot potato.

He quickly pushed back, "Oh my God, old man, you really don't have to do this. Our place is different from the officials of Jinzhou Prefecture in the past. Didn't you listen to the city lord? Unfortunately, the old rules were there in the past. Besides, our city manager is strict, Not to mention collecting money from you, even if you set up a stall, I wouldn’t dare to eat for free... If someone reports this, I will at least give you a suspension!"

The old man's hands were frozen in the air, quite embarrassed. He was not sure whether Ming Xiaoshuang really refused or felt that half the money was too little.

Ming Xiaoshuang hurriedly smiled and put the money back, "Okay, old man, don't think too much. You can go to Lan County to have a look around and ask the people if what I said is true. Those people in Lan County You are smart and always supervise us. If there is any trouble, you will definitely complain to the city lord. You should do your best. I want to stay in this position for a few more years."

Seeing that Ming Xiaoshuang was serious about what he said, the green-robed old man took the money back boldly and praised: "When the city lord comes, our Jinzhou Mansion really takes on a new look! The city lord is compassionate, and he is also a leader in education for all, We are asked to engage in breeding again, and we don’t know what kind of life we ​​will live in the coming year!”

The old village chief next to him smiled and added: "I'm afraid I won't have to eat meat every meal next year!"

"Speaking of Nalan County pigs, my second daughter-in-law is really famous in the world. Director Ming, have you ever tasted them? Is it really that delicious?"

Ming Xiaoshuang smiled and said: "Not only is it fragrant, it's also tender and smooth. It's thousands of times better than beef and mutton! Especially the half-fat and half-skinned pork belly, when you bite into it, it's fat but not greasy, and the mouth is full of fragrance. That is to say, the output is low now. When the Lan County pig farm was open to the public last time, we killed two pigs and held a tasting party, and I just had a bite, and I am still very hungry!"

The old people looked fascinated, and one of the village chiefs murmured: "These Lan County pigs are so fragrant, they must be easy to sell! When we sell the pigs next year, we will first buy a thin coffin for the old people who died last year, and then set up a A stone tablet—"

Ming Xiaoshuang was stunned.

The villager looked at him and didn't seem to think it was such a sad thing. Instead, he smiled a little honestly: "Our village is poor. Last year there was a flood, and the crops in the fields were harvested. Many elderly people were starved to death by their children. Or they died of starvation to save food rations for their children and grandchildren. The family had no money and could not even afford a thin coffin, so they could only wrap it in a roll of straw mat and bury it. When we have money next year, our village will be able to live well. It’s been a long time.”

When Ming Xiaoshuang looked at the village chief, who was older than his father, and said these words with a smile, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Ming Xiaoshuang always felt that he was not as good as Xu Zhenying and Xu Yinxi. He had no dreams. Every time he heard them talk about dreams, he felt that they were very illusory.

What is the dream? Can it be eaten? Can it be exchanged for something?

As a human being, you still have to be down-to-earth.

The reason why I followed Xu Zhenying was to gain a future.

But Ming Xiaoshuang is now thinking about what will happen after becoming a marquis and becoming a prime minister.

Perhaps it is far less proud than letting the people in the village raise a pig that can be exchanged for money.

At this moment, Ming Xiaoshuang suddenly understood Xu Zhenying somewhat.

A kind-hearted person like the city lord will definitely be heartbroken when he sees this world riddled with holes.

Ming Xiaoshuang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, now that the city lord is here, our Jinzhou Mansion will definitely get better and better."

----------------------

And in the yard of the second room of the Xu family.

Xu Zhenying was sitting in the yard. The summer sun shone through the vine frame, and a ray of light fell on her face.

As she said, she was detained but not suspended.

She was reading the "Soldier Management Rules" that she had prepared before. According to Xu Zhenying, there will only be more and more soldiers under their hands in the future, which will involve all aspects of military management, including job promotion, year-end assessment, welfare payment, and trials. Each decision resulted in a more detailed charter.

After finally having some free time, Xu Yinxi wanted to implement this matter as soon as possible.

Unlike other people in the second room who were full of anxiety, Xu Yinxi reacted very coldly to being imprisoned, even calmly.

She seemed not to be affected by this matter at all. Every day she was either busy dealing with previous official duties or thinking about the future development of Jinzhou Prefecture and Qianzhou Prefecture.

Aunt Chun was like an ant on a hot pot. She was worried, but she couldn't think of a way. She looked at Xu Yinxi's back and said, "Do you have an idea in your mind or something? We have been locked up here for four days now. We are isolated. All outside news, only the eldest girl can handle it!"

Lian pursed her lips and said nothing.

The so-called beloved daughter Mo Ruomu, Xu Yinxi was obviously a little absent-minded since Liu Dazhuang came over yesterday and gave her a stack of documents.

The second-bedroom apartments are on the verge of collapse.

Although they locked the somewhat crazy Xu Deyuan in the house, Xu Deyuan would often go crazy and start cursing in the middle of the night.

One moment he cursed Xu Zhenying as a rebellious minister and a traitor, and the other moment he cursed the second roommate for loving to lick Xu Zhenying's stinky feet and willing to be his lackey. He made dirty words and made the second roommate and others frightened and exhausted.

This door is full of Xu Zhenying's soldiers. If Xu Zhenying hears these filthy words again, will the people in the second house still have a way to survive?

The second room and the others were like frightened birds at this moment, they could only wait helplessly for when the knife hanging above their heads would fall.

This is a long process of waiting to die.

It was the first time that everyone saw Xu Zhenying's unhuman side, but it was also the first time that everyone truly realized Xu Zhenying's energy.

She is no longer the sixth girl of the Xu family.

Rather, it is a behemoth in the southwest area!
The second room and others almost collapsed, and some even just wanted to die quickly. Suddenly, a dark cloud hung over Erfang's head.

Xu Yinxi looked up from the book, stood up, and looked into the distance.

There seemed to be a commotion in the city.

Xu Yinxi walked quickly and asked the soldiers guarding recently: "Excuse me, what is happening in the city that is so lively?"

Xu Zhenying did not seem to have issued an order to isolate the information, so the soldier said truthfully: "Today the city lord went to see off the city lord's wife and his sister, and some common people also followed to join in the fun. In addition, the civil service exam was coming soon, so the city lord forced those white deer who were making trouble to The students in the academy are also taking note, they are making trouble at the moment."

Everyone in the second room of the Xu family only heard the first sentence, "Send off?"

Lian immediately asked in surprise: "Where are my younger siblings and Mei Xiao going?"

"The city lord has captured Qianzhou, so he naturally wants to send him as a hostage. The chieftain of Qianzhou will also exchange hostages to show the sincerity of the peace talks between the two parties."

Erfang and others exclaimed.

Even Xu Yinxi looked shocked.

As soon as Xu Zhenying returned to the city that day, he sent someone to take them into custody. Therefore, the people in the second room of the Xu family had no idea what happened next. Even Xu Yinxi only knew that after they left Lan County, they split into two groups, one going to Jinzhou Prefecture and the other to Qianzhou Prefecture for peace talks.

But this peace negotiation actually led to the capture of Qianzhou Prefecture?
Doesn’t this mean they already have two states?

It would be false to say that I am not happy, but at this moment, this joy seems a bit embarrassing.

Rao and other people in the second room subconsciously showed joy when they heard the news.

Aunt Mei was even more happy and said: "The city lord actually included Qianzhou in his pocket? This is a good thing, a great good thing!"

Now the second wife of the Xu family has also been cultivated by Xu Zhenying to have a certain degree of political sensitivity. Almost at the same time, everyone thought of a question. Aunt Mei's voice trembled, "The city lord's territory has expanded several times, and he will definitely need more manpower! Is it possible that we will miss this promotion just because of Xu Deyuan?"

Aunt Chun's face immediately turned pale, and she thought of the civil service exam she just mentioned, and she couldn't help but gnashed her teeth with hatred: "What a great opportunity this is! Ming Lu just graduated from the intermediate class. If she can take part in this civil service exam, she might be able to win the civil service exam." I can rise to great heights! Damn it..."

more than.

Not only the future of the children, but also several aunts have been managing the logistics with the Miao family. It can be said that they are working hard without being lazy at all.

Now that the Miao family is going to Qianzhou Chieftain as a hostage, the position of chief minister will inevitably be vacated. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them!

An opportunity to look at their individual abilities regardless of their origins, age or gender!

It may even be the only opportunity in this life!
He was actually messed up by Xu Deyuan like this.

Lian Shi had obviously thought of this. She asked the soldier almost without hesitation, "Who is the new prince of Qianzhou?"

"The city lord's personal guard Zhang Wanjun."

Everyone in the second room immediately looked at Xu Yinxi.

This woman at the pinnacle of the second wife's power is the woman who embodies all the second wife's hopes!

When Lian heard this, his face instantly turned pale!
Even the aunts all changed their expressions.

Xu Yinxi seemed stunned for a moment, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on her face, "Zhang Wanjun, that is a very outstanding girl."

There was a cry of unwillingness in Aunt Mei's voice: "Girl, that position should have been yours!"

"There is nothing right or wrong, it all depends on the city lord's thoughts. Everything we have is given by her. If she doesn't give it, what can we do?"

Lian's voice was trembling, and she held Xu Yinxi's hand: "My son, you eat and drink day and night, and you never slack off even if you are sick. Why...why..."

However, Xu Yinxi patted Lian's hand to express comfort, her expression was calm, and she seemed to show no impatience or compassion, and her eyes were calm.

"Mother, dear aunts, haven't you seen it yet? The city lord is trying to beat us."

Everyone looked at her in confusion.

"The city lord wants to tell us that whether it's me or you, if we don't obey, we can be replaced at any time."

Everyone was speechless and silent for a moment.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Late at night.

The courtyard of Xu's second room was pitch dark, the moonlight was like water, like white mist in front of the steps.

In the lively Jinzhou Mansion, not even a sound can be heard after dark.

There were no lights in the room.

Two thin figures shuttled through the dark night, and then quietly arrived in front of Xu Deyuan's door.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

That was Aunt Chun's voice.

Like the first snow in winter, it is soaked in a little bit of chill, but there is a hint of trembling hidden in it.

"You can choose to go back." Lian Qiuzhi on one side said in a very low voice.

Looking through the moonlight, her face was as pale as a ghost, and there seemed to be a dark fire in the depths of her cold pupils.

"No need, since I'm here, I will never back down." Aunt Chun's palms were sweaty. She still held the rope in her hand and pointed to the room. "After entering, you must move quickly and the guards must not find out."

Lian nodded.

Two thin women gently pushed open the heavy wooden door.

Xu Deyuan fell asleep, even though his hands and feet were restrained, he still snored comfortably, which made people even more angry.

He was unaware that danger was approaching.

By the time he came to his senses, his mouth and nose were already pressed by thick cotton wool. He tried to shout for help, but he couldn't make any sound——

He wanted to use the shackles to make a sound to attract the attention of the guards outside, but his legs were tightly held down.

who is it?

More than one person!

Who wants to kill him? Is it Xu Zhenying or the person from the second room?

Aunt Chun was like a trapped little animal, gritting her teeth to prevent herself from making any sound. She hugged Xu Deyuan's legs tightly, making him unable to struggle.

She didn't even know where she got her strength from.

As soon as she thought about Xu Deyuan hindering her and Xu Minglu's future, her arms seemed to burst out with infinite power.

——Dang.

The shackles made a slight sound as they collided.

Aunt Chun's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her whole body was pressed against Xu Deyuan's legs!
At the other end, Lian was sitting on Xu Deyuan, using her own strength to suppress Xu Deyuan's upper body. Those slender arms were covering Xu Deyuan's mouth and nose with cotton wool!
Xu Deyuan was horrified, and the despair of dying suddenly filled his heart!
He struggled, twisted, and gasped with all his strength—

He didn't even know who wanted to do this to him——

Soon, Xu Deyuan stopped moving.

There was deathly silence in the house, the wind was blowing and the trees were shaking outside, and the moonlight was miserable.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the woman's weak and nervous breathing.

I don't know how long it took, but Aunt Chun's arms were numb and her back was covered in cold sweat. She felt that Xu Deyuan was out of breath, and she dared to raise her head cautiously.

Lian was still sitting on Xu Deyuan, maintaining the same movements as before, as if he was frozen in a snowy day and couldn't move.

Her body was tense, her back was soaked with sweat, veins popped out on her forehead, and she was breathing heavily——

Aunt Chun's throat rolled up, she poked her carefully, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Madam..."

Lian Shi seemed to be frightened, and climbed down from Xu Deyuan's body. Her chest was heaving violently, and her pupils seemed to be trembling faintly.

The two women looked at each other, and both saw the other's confused look!
Only then did they remember that they were not alone.

They teamed up to kill their men.

Lian suppressed the nausea in her heart and asked Aunt Chun with trembling lips: "Is he... dead?"

"Totally dead." Aunt Chun carefully supported Lian, with a calm and strange smile on her face at this moment, "He is dead, and we are finally free."

Lian smiled with tears in her eyes and clasped her fingers tightly, "Have a good death! Now no one can try to hinder my Yinxi's future!"

Aunt Chun's eyes were fierce, "Yes, no one can hinder the future of our second wife!"
