Chapter 57
In August, the whole of Huguang felt that something was wrong. After the imperial decree was issued, the governor, governor and other senior officials did not move at all. This is an abnormal behavior in itself.

The Ning family felt this abnormal atmosphere, and everyone felt a little panic and tension in their hearts. Ning Yu also lived in the Young Eagle Camp during this time. He understood that no matter what situation he was facing, only the Young Eagle Camp can rely on.

After Ning Zhongyuan made relevant preparations for his family, he went to Hanyang Camp. As a military commander, he naturally understood what was the most important thing. Butcher the fish.Ning Zhongyi also went to Yunmeng County, and was also well prepared.

As for Ning Zhongxin and the others, they were not idle, and went to the various clans to make contact, hoping that the other party would give them a helping hand.However, this road is quite unsatisfactory. Except for the two families of Cheng and Zheng who made it clear to help each other, the other families are in a wait-and-see state.
After all, everyone understands that the governor's yamen wants to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, so don't act rashly, otherwise it will be easy to become the chicken that was killed.And the Ning family is now in this dangerous position.

The 20 taels of silver that Ning Zhongjing sent to the Governor's Mansion before had nothing to say, so it was in vain. In desperation, Ning Zhongjing had to make one last effort. He held a roll of land deeds and several The deeds of the ten shops came to the gate of the Governor's Yamen, and said respectfully: "Ning Zhongjing, a grassroots man, is here to visit the Governor, and please see him."

In the governor's yamen, Xiande hesitated after listening to the servant's report: "You said, he is holding a thick stack of land deeds? But is it true?"

Menzi respectfully said: "I checked it myself, and it's all fertile land in Huguang, so I absolutely dare not fake it."

Xiande waved his hand, "Let him in."

A moment later, Ning Zhongjing walked over holding the land deed, knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, Ning Zhongjing, a grassroots man, come to pay your respects to your lord!"

Xiande sneered and clapped his hands lightly. A group of soldiers walked in, pressed Ning Zhongjing firmly on the ground, packed up the title deeds and other things that Ning Zhongjing brought, and handed them to Xiande .

Ning Zhongjing was firmly pressed to the ground, but his heart was icy cold, "Dare to ask the governor, what is the meaning of this?"

"Hmph, are you still pretending? You don't know what your Ning family did? To tell you the truth, I will send someone to capture Ning Zhongyuan in Hanyang City immediately. When your Ning family is captured, you Naturally, I will say it obediently!"

Xiande's face was cold, but when he touched the land deed, his face turned slightly red.

Ning Zhongjing was like falling into an ice cellar, and said in a shy voice: "I don't know what the lord means, but the villain really doesn't know. If the Ning family offends the lord, the Ning family is willing to donate [-]% of the family property to the lord, and I hope the lord will make a clear decision!"

Xiande sneered, "Hmph, why do I need [-]% of your family property, as long as I can return the Huguang land to a bright future, I will not hesitate!" After finishing speaking, someone asked Ning Zhongjing to be detained.

At this time, a stout man walked in from the door, dressed in armor, he was Yue Lingfeng, the general who was brought by Xiande. man's cousin.

"My lord, the preparations for the Fubiao Camp have been completed, and we are just waiting for your lord's order to capture the traitor Ning Zhongyuan."

Xiande nodded slightly, and said in a concentrated voice: "Then I wish the general the victory." After saying this, he sighed in his heart. After all, he has become a full-fledged tongs. Although he can benefit in the short term, it will affect the It will be bad, this kind of thing is really optional.

Just when Xiande was thinking wildly, a servant in the mansion took the opportunity to slip out. Although he walked slowly, he kept looking for a shortcut along the way, and soon arrived at the Cuixiang Tower in the city.

Cuixianglou is the largest restaurant in Wuchang City, so when people come and go, it seems very lively.

The young man walked into the restaurant and whispered to the shop owner: "My young master is seriously ill."

"Your young master is sick, he should go to the medical center in the city, why come to my restaurant?"

"Because my young master wants to drink Cuiyunxiang."

The shopkeeper looked around, and then said to the boy: "Follow me."

The two entered a secret room in the restaurant one after the other. Strange to say, the secret room was extremely quiet, in stark contrast to the noisy scene outside.

The shopkeeper whispered: "Emei Peak, why did you come here suddenly? Didn't I tell you that without my order, you are not allowed to have any activities, and you forgot what the young master said?"

There was a bit of nervousness on the boy's face, "Something happened, No. [-] was arrested, and it was Xiande who gave the order."

The shopkeeper's face darkened. He is an old man from the Ning family, so he naturally understood who the number three in the code name was.

Among the code names Ning Yu set for them, the number one is Ning Zhongyuan, the number two is Ning Yu himself, and the number three is Ning Zhongjing, and the arrest of Ning Zhongjing is an unbearable loss for the Ning family. .

The boy hurriedly said again: "I also saw Yue Lingfeng, there may be danger in the base camp on the [-]st."

The shopkeeper knew that he had seen Zhenzhang at this time, and ordered: "You go back quickly before people pay attention, and it is best to know where No. [-] is currently being held. As for No. [-], No. [-] and the base camp, I will send someone to notify. "

After the boy left, carrier pigeons flew out of the Cuixiang Building, carrying some ciphertext written in code on them, carrying the hopes of the Ning family and flying into the sky.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ning Qianqiu, as the chief person in charge of the shadow, has stayed by Ning Zhongyuan's side during this period of time, which is also Ning Yu's request. He is worried that someone will choose to capture the thief first and capture the king, and defeat the Ning family in one fell swoop.

Now Ning Qianqiu has got rid of his previous appearance, and some beards have appeared on his face. After long-term training, he is now a qualified intelligence officer.

There was a cooing pigeon sound, and Ning Qianqiu took down the secret letter from the pigeon's leg, on which was written a line of information in cipher text, if an ordinary person, even if he found the cipher text, he would not understand the meaning of it.

Ning Qianqiu immediately took a copy of "Shi Shuo Xin Yu", and gradually deciphered the secret letter according to the arrangement of the cipher text. Come.

His father Ning Zhongjing was arrested!
The father who didn't seem to pay attention to him, but actually thought of everything for him, was arrested.

Ning Qianqiu held back the grief in her heart, walked to Ning Zhongyuan's side, knelt down and lifted the secret letter above her head.

"Reporting to my second uncle, there is news from the shadow that my father has been arrested by Xiande, and the Fubiao Camp seems to be secretly coming to Hanyang."

Ning Zhongyuan's face instantly turned livid, the veins on his forehead seemed to burst open, and his cheeks were bulging.

"Command, beat drums and assemble."
