The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 261 261. Sending merit

It's not that Shaan Yan didn't know, but the place he mentioned was already empty.

The Ninth Prince was so angry that he rushed directly to the cage and beat him severely!

The more flesh and blood flew everywhere, the more excited he became.

The bloodthirsty look in his bones made the generals under him a little scared.

Shaan Yan had not eaten for several days and was tortured one after another. He returned to the west without being able to hold on any longer.

Looking at Shaan Yan who was motionless, the Ninth Prince stopped whipping.

"Go and see, is anyone dead?"

"yes."

A general behind him walked up, felt the pulse on his neck, and said with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, someone is dead."

"If you die, die. Send the news back to the Eastern Capital City and tell your father that the former governor bit his tongue and committed suicide out of fear of torture after being captured. As for his body, just find a mass grave and throw it away. Keep looking for that He went to interrogate his family members without telling him the whereabouts of the banknotes, and I don’t believe that no one would know!”

"yes!"

He threw the whip on the ground, took the handkerchief handed over by Long Guang, wiped the blood on his hands, and led the others away in full view of everyone.

Next, countless horrific roars came from the prison, but unfortunately, the whereabouts of the banknotes were still not found.

On the other hand, in Liangzhou City, Xiao Ji looked at the message sent by General Su with a solemn expression.

Xiao Muqian was sent to invite Feng Shan and Mr. Chen, the head of the Feng family, to discuss countermeasures.

"I didn't expect that the person who colluded with the Beidi people would be the Governor. No wonder he wanted to help the Ninth Prince at first, which delayed the advance of the army. He also deliberately came to report the incident in Liangzhou when he was drunk and his ears were hot, forcing him to I had to come late at night, so the Beidi people succeeded in blowing up the bridge due to my negligence!"

His fist hit the table so hard that the corners of the table were cracked.

Xiao Jizhi knew that he was feeling sorry for the three thousand soldiers who fell into the water and died, so he could only pat him on the shoulder and comfort him.

"Fortunately, he was caught by General Su, and he will not end well. But now we have to think about countermeasures. If the Ninth Prince crosses the bridge and comes to Liangzhou City to cause trouble, how can we protect those people? Disaster victims?"

The so-called disaster victims are actually foreigners.

During this period, nearly 8,000 people came one after another, almost one-tenth of the original number in Liangzhou City.

And there is a tendency to come again, so they don’t know how many people will come in the end.

But the attitude of several of them was that they would not refuse anyone who came.

If Liangzhou wants to reach a higher level, it must absorb everything around it like an open sea.

Of course, among these foreigners, there are some who are not enterprising, but they are a minority after all. Most of them rely on their own ability to make a living. On the contrary, they have made the originally lazy Jin people become much more diligent.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Instead of blindly thinking that the Jin Dynasty was the orthodoxy of the Celestial Dynasty and looked down upon foreigners.

"The Ninth Prince's move is nothing more than to seize the credit for the Liangzhou Battle. If General Xiao can speak of these honors and ask himself to attribute the credit to the Ninth Prince, perhaps the peace of Liangzhou can be preserved."

Mr. Chen could see the crux of the problem at a glance and said it bluntly without any hesitation.

Xiao Ji pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

However, Xiao Muqian next to him couldn't sit still.

"Why? Why should we give up the military merits we gained by fighting swords here to the Ninth Prince who sings and sings every night in Ganzhou City?"

As a general in the Jin Dynasty, most people want to earn more glory through military merit.

Especially the lower-level soldiers and captains all pointed to this victory as a chance to be promoted and receive more military pay to support their families.

If they retreat this time and hand over the credit to others, the soldiers below will be heartbroken.

Xiao Ji was a little embarrassed when his whole body was affected by a single move.

Fengshan had not said a word, but now he could see what he was thinking, so he spoke.

"General, you can write a letter and give all the credit for the rapid recovery of Liangzhou City to the Ninth Prince. It should be noted that this credit is not small. I think the Holy One will praise the Ninth Prince generously if he knows about it. Such double credit will be exchanged for For the honor of the soldiers below, I believe the Ninth Prince will agree."

"However, the reconstruction after the war is all the merits of Brother Feng, other family heads, and Mr. Chen. I, Xiao Ji, can do without my military merits, but if your merits are wiped out, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future."

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants had little status.

Xiao Ji originally wanted to earn some face for these righteous family heads through this matter. Even if His Majesty just gave them a plaque or something, it would make the world think highly of them and improve their status.

But now...

Fengshan smiled heartily and looked at Mr. Chen.

Xiao Ji admired the open-mindedness in his heart.

"General Xiao, don't worry. What we are rebuilding is our own home. If Liangzhou City becomes more prosperous, then we businessmen can naturally make more money. Compared with those illusory achievements, it is really better. Besides, we will wait for you to come out." The people all see the disaster relief efforts made with money, it’s just a false name, the common people don’t care, I believe other family heads think the same way, don’t you think so, Mr. Chen?”

"Yes! General, please don't worry about us. This trivial matter is of no importance. The peace of Liangzhou City is more important!"

Having said this, Xiao Muqian also relaxed a lot.

He said to Xiao Ji, "Second uncle, don't worry, as long as the soldiers under my command can achieve the achievements they deserve, I will not talk about this matter again!"

"Okay! This time it's the good son of my Xiao family."

Seeing that the three of them didn't take any credit, Xiao Ji thanked God in his heart. Liangzhou was lucky to have them in Liangzhou City.

The next day, Xiao Ji eloquently attributed the two great achievements of the Liangzhou Campaign and post-disaster reconstruction to the Ninth Prince. He wrote a thick memorial in thick ink and color and sent it to the Ninth Prince first.

When the Ninth Prince read the letter, he couldn't hold back the joy in his eyes and mouth.

"General Xiao is indeed the pillar of the country. I admire you very much. Since the memorial has been prepared, let's send it to the capital as soon as possible. I think my father is still waiting to see it."

"Yes!" The person who came to deliver the letter was General Su. Although he did not agree with General Xiao's move, he also knew that it was the best choice after weighing the pros and cons.

If the Ninth Prince were allowed to cross the river and cause trouble in Liangzhou, not to mention military achievements, I'm afraid many people would suffer.

Instead of doing this, don't let the Ninth Prince wear the high hat.

Anyway, the prince knows the truth.

Those who should be rewarded in the future will never be left out!

Then while the Ninth Prince was happy, he quickly added.

"Your Highness commanded this battle well, but the soldiers below also fought bloody battles. I hope Your Highness can consider their risking their lives and give them more praise."
