Gu Qinghan frowned slightly when he saw Yang Ning taking action coldly.
The cold blade is a top-quality weapon. Not only is it extremely sharp, but the blade is not stained with blood. When it is pulled out from the shoulder, it is still clean and smooth. Manager Luo's voice has become hoarse: "Master, ancestor... ancestor, really... really... According to the order of the Marquis, we...we are just doing things...!"
Yang Ning was a little surprised. At this point, he believed that Steward Luo would never be able to persist with such a spineless character. If someone else really instigated it, Steward Luo would not be able to bite Marquis Jinyi to the death.
"No matter who instigates it, go back and tell the person who sent you here, tell him that his good days are coming to an end." Yang Ning put away the cold blade, stood up slowly, and looked at the big men with dagger-like eyes. , although he is much shorter than those people, but his courage at this moment has an awe-inspiring coldness, "Do you guys want to continue fighting?"
In fact, these big men also saw that today they went out to fight ghosts and encountered a tough opponent. They also saw Yang Ning's skills just now and knew that this young man looked weak, but when he started to act, he was a ruthless character. , seeing that even Manager Luo was stabbed in the ankle, he dared to step forward again. Besides, he was just making a living, but he never thought of losing his life here.
"Let's go...!" Seeing that the big men were still in a daze, Manager Luo endured the huge pain in his ankles and shouted, "Hurry up and carry me away."
After all, he is also a man who has seen the world. He knows that the world is huge and there are many strange people and strange people. Today, if he encounters a powerful character, it is better to leave first.
"There's no rush." Yang Ning shook his head and said, "You injured someone, do you just want to walk away like this?"
Manager Luo naturally understood what Yang Ning meant and shouted: "Take out all the money you have."
All the big men took out their own money bags. Manager Luo also put his own money bags in a pile with those money bags and said to Yang Ning: "Master, we only brought so much. You see... If it's not enough, I'll go back and try again." Send someone to deliver it.”
Yang Ning said calmly: "Manager Luo, I know you are a person who must retaliate for your flaws. I will put my words here now. If you go back and want to seek revenge on King Lu Village, even if you hurt every plant and tree here, I will I’m going to take your life, do you hear me clearly?”
Manager Luo immediately said: "I don't dare, I absolutely don't dare...!" He said to several of his subordinates: "Hurry up and leave!"
Some of the big men went to lift the companion who was knocked unconscious by Yang Ning with a pole, and some came forward to lift Guanshi Luo. Yang Ning sneered and said, "Are you going to leave like this?"
Manager Luo thought to himself, you have beaten me and you have taken the money, what more can you do? His ankle was in severe pain and blood was flowing. He knew that the knife must have injured his hamstring. Whether he could walk in the future would be a problem. If he angered this young man at this time, he might not even be able to save his other foot. , said with a tearful tone: "Young Master, there are... any other instructions?"
"I remember someone said that I was asked to crawl on the ground like a dog. I was not lucky, but I also wanted to see how a dog crawls." Yang Ning's face turned cold and he pointed at someone, "You are carrying Those who fainted, and the others, all crawl out of this village for me."
Manager Luo and others all changed their expressions. Yang Ning's face darkened and she sneered, "What, you're not convinced?"
Manager Luo was filled with hatred but could do nothing about it. He shouted angrily: "Get down and crawl out of the village." Not wanting to stay any longer, he turned around and lay on the ground. Enduring the pain in his ankles, he led the people to the ground. Crawling like a dog towards the outside of the village, no one dared to take away the horses.
When the villagers saw that the previously arrogant Manager Luo was in such a predicament, they were all happy. The children who were ignorant of world affairs all clapped their hands and laughed, and even the young people cheered. However, the mature and prudent villagers saw this scene. , apart from feeling happy, I am even more worried.
Marquis Jinyi is a hereditary marquis in the empire. In the eyes of these ordinary people, he is an unattainable existence. The Qi family is even more powerful and well-established in Jiangling. Now that he has offended the Qi family, although it is temporarily satisfying, it will only lead to disaster. It will come down soon.
Although Yang Ning warned Steward Luo not to retaliate in front of everyone, the mature and prudent villagers did not take it seriously. They thought that Yang Ning was just a righteous man passing by the village, and he drew his sword to help when there was injustice. After leaving, Steward Luo would never be able to do it because of him. Just give it up in one sentence and you will definitely come back.
Gu Qinghan was surprised and happy at this moment. He was surprised that Yang Ning could hide his secrets. He had such good skills and a chivalrous heart to act righteously. He was happy that Yang Ning was safe and sound. He quickly walked over and looked him up and down. Fan, after confirming that Yang Ning was okay, took a deep breath and said, "Ning'er, you scared me to death."
Yang Ning laughed and ignored the guys who were crawling out of the village. He picked up the money bag on the ground, walked up to Han Yi, put a few money bags into Han Yi's hands, and said: "These coins are used to help the injured." The villagers are treating their injuries and replenishing their bodies." He raised his hand and pointed at the horses, "Let's keep those horses in the village for now."
Han Yi thought for a moment, turned around and handed the money bag to the person behind him, and then said: "Little hero, thank you for your help today. This kindness will not be forgotten by everyone in King Lu Village. However, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I think You two should leave as soon as possible. Han will remember this kindness in his heart and will definitely repay it if there is an opportunity in the future."
"Are you worried that Manager Luo will come back and cause trouble?" Yang Ning naturally understood what Han Yi was thinking.
Han Yi did not hide it, nodded and said: "The power of the Qi family is not comparable to that of our small Lu Wang Village. This man named Luo is a person who must repay his flaws. He has suffered a big loss this time and will never let it go. I'm afraid he will turn around." More people will be brought here, and the Qi family also has a relationship with the government. If government servants are transferred, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to."
Gu Qinghan finally said: "Han Yi, Jin Yihou will never condone his servants to do evil, and the Qi family is definitely not a family that relies on the strong to bully the weak. Manager Luo cleverly created a name to collect taxes. Who is behind it? It won't take long The truth will come to light, and Jinyihou will give a satisfactory explanation to the people of the feudal city."
Han Yi couldn't help but glance at Gu Qinghan. He was a little surprised when he saw that Gu Qinghan was so handsome. He had not paid attention to Gu Qinghan before, but now he realized that Yang Ning had such a handsome companion beside him. He was called the Marquis of Jinyi. Defending, and speaking affirmatively, I was a little shocked.
"Han Ditou, it's getting dark soon, and it's hard for us to travel at night." Yang Ning suddenly smiled and said, "I wonder if I can stay in the village for a night?"
Although Han Yi felt that it was quite dangerous for Yang Ning and Yang Ning to stay, after all, they came to help when there was an injustice, and the sky was indeed getting dark at this time. It would be too unkind to force Yang Ning and two to leave the village at this time. , he was still a little hesitant, but other villagers already said: "We have a vacant room at home. If you don't mind, you can stay at our home for one night."
Han Yi finally said: "If you two want to stay, of course you are wholeheartedly welcome." He then asked the villagers to pull the horses over and tie them up, and then arranged for Yang Ning and Yang Ning to live in their own homes. Manager Luo and others Climbing to the entrance of the village, I didn't dare to look back, got up and left in embarrassment.
Life in the village is simple, and there is naturally no big fish or meat. However, Han Yi is an enthusiastic person and has his family's chickens killed. Some villagers also sent things from home to show their gratitude to Yang Ning, some of which were cured meat that they were reluctant to eat. There are also people who deliver eggs, to name a few.
While Han Yi was busy at home, Yang Ning found an opportunity and whispered to Gu Qinghan: "Sanniang, is there someone named Luo in the old house?"
Gu Qinghan frowned and said: "When I married into your Qi family, I worshiped my ancestors in my old house. Since then, I have been in Beijing and have never returned to Jiangling. The general also did not come back for four or five years before his death. Everything here, The general manager is responsible for it. Every year, the general manager will go to Beijing to report on the affairs here. I have seen him twice, but most of the time it is General Manager Qiu who comes to ask about these matters." He pondered for a moment, then said: "I only know There are only a dozen people in the old house, and I haven’t heard of anyone taking charge, let alone raising such a group of people.”
"Earlier, the man surnamed Luo said that someone went to Beijing to complain to the Hou Mansion. You didn't know anything about it?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "Someone in Jiangling went to the Hou Mansion. How could I hide it from you?"
"I'm thinking about this too." Gu Qinghan's beautiful eyes showed a hint of anger, "If this really happens, I can't possibly know anything about it, unless... unless someone deliberately conceals it."
"Sanniang, are you talking about Manager Qiu?" Yang Ning looked coldly, "Manager Qiu is trying to hide things from his superiors and bully his subordinates?"
Gu Qinghan shook his head and said: "Ning'er, there is no evidence, so don't make an assertion lightly. Although Manager Qiu is usually a bit tactful, he has been working hard in the Hou Mansion for many years. And why would he hide this matter? Even if he is the chief manager of the old house, Although I have only met him twice and don’t know him well, he is capable but kind-hearted and does not look like a cunning person. He has been managing the old house for decades, when the old Marquis was still alive. The old Marquis has a sharp eye for the people he selects, and he will never see the wrong person."
In fact, Yang Ning had always suspected that the general manager was behind it, but after hearing what Gu Qinghan said, he felt that his judgment might not be correct.
Gu Qinghan is a very smart woman, and the old Marquis is naturally a great person. The general manager was selected by the old Marquis. Gu Qinghan also has a good opinion of the general manager. In this way, the general manager is really not like him. If someone who deceives his superiors and deceives his subordinates, things will be weird if he really does this.
"Ning'er, I'm glad I listened to you and didn't go directly to the old house." Gu Qinghan sighed softly and said quietly: "Otherwise, how would we know what happened? I always thought that in the feudal land of the Hou Mansion, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. We have no worries about food and clothing, but today I found out that this is not the case." Turning her beautiful eyes, she looked at Yang Ning: "How did you know that there was a problem in the feudal city, so you had to go to the village incognito to find out?"
