"Okay!" Fan Jinchang nodded with a smile, suppressing the urge to cough in his throat.
Ning Haixin looked at Fan Jinchang's red face and was afraid that he would faint.
Even though he is in such a weak condition, he still works hard for the emperor. No wonder he can become the general.
"General Fan, please have some tea!"
Ning Haixin smiled and raised the teacup in his hand. "It hasn't rained in Menglan City for three or four months. This tea, every time I drink it, it gets less."
Speaking of drought, Ning Haixin couldn't help but frown.
He didn't even have time to think about who stole the gold and silver. He had been searching for so long but hadn't found a single cent. He thought it was impossible to find it again.
What he is most worried about now is whether the people can survive if the drought continues.
The deeper the well is dug, the less water there is.
The ground was so cracked that it looked like a child's mouth. If you stepped on it, your feet would get stuck in the cracked pit.
Not to mention that taxes could not be paid, even the people had difficulty in getting enough food and clothing.
If the drought continues, there will be a drought disaster.
Fan Jinchang picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, without responding to Ning Haixin's words at all.
Whether it is a drought or not is not his business.
There are natural disasters and man-made disasters every year, but there is always a way to survive.
Fan Jinchang moistened his throat, put down his teacup and looked at Ning Haixin.
"This general's personal guard, Xie Feiyang, led ten of his personal guards into Menglan City and disappeared. Lord Ning, do you know where they went?"
Before entering Menglan City, he had already inquired and confirmed that Xie Feiyang had entered Menglan City.
As for whether Xie Feiyang left Menglan City after entering it, he didn't know.
Ning Haixin's heart skipped a beat when he heard the three words "Xie Feiyang".
This name sounds familiar.
Aren’t those the group of people who were tortured to death by him in the prison cell?
The leader kept shouting that his name was Xie Feiyang.
However, those people can no longer be called out recently.
Because they refused to tell him where the things were hidden, he pulled out their tongues in a rage.
Out of eleven people, six of them died.
Ning Haixin took a deep breath and looked at Fan Jinchang calmly.
"Hiss~~ I wonder when the general's personal soldiers entered Menglan City?"
Fan Jinchang frowned, "More than two months ago."
"Tsk!" Ning Haixin smacked his lips and frowned.
"It's been more than two months. It's been so long, I'm afraid it will be difficult to check."
"Well, I'll have someone go to the city gate and ask if anyone can remember when they left."
"Thank you!" Fan Jinchang nodded.
He just wanted to know when they left.
After so long, he certainly knew that Xie Feiyang and his men were definitely not in Menglan City.
The reason why he found Ning Haixin to ask was just to confirm whether they had really left.
Ning Haixin immediately asked someone to call his lawyer and asked him to investigate Xie Feiyang's case.
When the master heard the name "Xie Feiyang", his pupils almost popped out.
this......
Listening to the hidden meaning of Ning Haixin's words, he immediately understood and nodded.
"Yes, I'll go look for it right away."
Xie Feiyang and others, who could have lived longer, began to count down their lives after their master left Fan Jinchang.
Fan Jinchang, who knew nothing about this, learned from his master after lunch that Xie Feiyang hurriedly left Menglan City and went to Danyun City on the night he entered Menglan City.
"Is everything cleaned up?!"
Ning Haixin stood at the gate of the prefectural yamen, watching Fan Jinchang and his group walk away, and glanced at the legal advisor beside him.
The master took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, sir, everything has been handled cleanly. I guarantee no one will know."
"The jailers in the cell..." Ning Haixin frowned as he thought of the jailers who had been in charge of guarding Xie Feiyang.
If these people leak the news, Fan Jinchang will fight him to the death.
He had no idea that it would be such a coincidence.
Fan Jinchang happened to enter the city when Menglan City was robbed.
How could he know that those people were telling the truth?
If he had known that they were really Fan Jinchang's men, he would definitely not have taken action against them.
Unfortunately, the fight ended up happening even though I didn't want to, and the person was left disabled. I had to deal with it even though I didn't want to.
"Don't worry, sir." The master said softly, "Everything has been taken care of. I did it myself."
He brought a pot of poisoned wine to the jailers and sent them all away.
Xie Feiyang and his men were also sent away with a glass of poisoned wine each.
Fan Jinchang is a very petty and vindictive person. You can never offend anyone but you must not offend him.
"That's good..." Ning Haixin sighed softly.
"Get rid of all their clothes and horses, and burn their bodies."
He didn't leave any chance of being discovered; he couldn't afford the consequences.
"Yes!" The master nodded.
.......
Qianhuang City...
"Sir, if this continues, our bodies will not be able to bear it."
The chief officer looked at Qu Yutang with a tired expression.
They are officials, and now they have to go to work on time every day to earn enough food to eat. It's really hard.
This has been going on for almost ten days straight.
The large, bumpy pits had almost been filled up by them.
They are really exhausted.
Although I work in three shifts, I still can't handle it.
Three days later, the marks on my shoulders had not healed yet, but I had to go haul mud again.
That's adding insult to injury, it really hurts.
Qu Yutang looked at the bag of white flour buns on the table, and looked at the chief official with a sallow face.
Looking at the officer's tired but healthy face, he sighed deeply.
"Why are there no meat buns these days?"
He only ate white flour buns every day, and his body could not bear it.
Why!
He also wanted to go to Magistrate Deng to find out, but he couldn't go now.
He had to wait for the capital to send troops before he could go to question Governor Deng.
Otherwise, if he went too early and the people from the capital had not arrived yet, he would be the one in trouble.
The chief officer was stunned and looked at Qu Yutang speechlessly.
"Brothers, we are really tired from work. We don't have the energy to do anything without eating meat buns, so..."
I have to go to work early in the morning, and the work I do is heavy and tiring. How can I have the energy without eating some meat?
At the beginning, the brothers could save half of the meat buns and bring them back.
Later, when it was his turn to work, he was so tired that he ate the meat bun in two bites.
From then on, no one brought back meat buns, and only saved some white flour buns.
Although they were tired from working every day, they ate well and looked much healthier than Qu Yutang.
