Chapter 583 I have a way

They were said to be locked up in the Ningzhou Yamen. In fact, there were not that many cells in the Yamen. Hundreds of people were locked up in an open-air paddock, surrounded by fences and without a roof. Although the weather in Ningzhou has gotten warmer recently, they were kept in the open air. , after all, it’s not a good life. For the people inside, it’s no different from animals. Everyone eats, drinks, and poops here. Food and water are not guaranteed. The environment is extremely harsh. At first glance, it looks like purgatory on earth.

As soon as Tao Zhen and Huo Xing arrived, everyone rushed to the fence and stared at them with burning eyes.

"Master Huo, help!"

"Master Huo, we know we were wrong. We don't dare to run away anymore. Please save us."

"Master Huo, please save my son, he is dying!"

"Master Huo!"

"..."

Even Huo Xing's stone heart couldn't bear it. Tao Zhen frowned even more. She looked at the high platform and didn't see the Li family, but she saw Liu Huihui squeezing over. If Liu Huihui hadn't called her name, she would have almost recognized her. Not out of her.

"Tao Zhen!"

Liu Huihui's eyes were red. In addition to being dirty, she also had a bruised nose and face, and was covered in blood and stains. It was not easy for a girl to think about it.

"Huihui!"

Tao Zhen walked up to her and Liu Huihui opened her mouth. Tao Zhen knew what she was going to say. She turned to look at Huo Xing, but Huo Xing shook his head.

There is nothing he can do!
It was impossible to take Liu Huihui out, but Tao Zhen was familiar with the people in the yamen, so he asked the guards to bring some food and drink to Liu Huihui and the others.

She looked around and saw that there were dozens of women who were still alive who ran out, almost no elderly people, and even fewer children.

"Thank you!" Liu Huihui's eyes were red and tears were falling out.

"Have you seen Aunt Liu and the others?" Tao Zhen asked softly.

Liu Huihui shook her head: "No, I haven't seen them since the village was in chaos."

Tao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. There was no news, which meant that they had run away.

Coming out of the paddock, Tao Zhen asked Huo Xing: "What is the court going to do with them?"

This is what Huo Xing is worried about. He said: "Master Ning wants to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and kill them, but the prince and Master Su disagree. Now both sides are in a stalemate. If both sides refuse to give in, the best result is to be exiled again." Send it to the far north."

Tao Zhen frowned and said, "What's the difference between that and killing them?"

Men will die sooner or later if they go there. Women and children can't get there at all. They will probably die on the way. Exile to the North sounds nice, but in fact it just prolongs the period of death a little.

Huo Xing sighed helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it. You should have noticed that the emperor may want to interfere in Yan Bei's affairs."

Tao Zhen said: "Is there no other way?"

Huo Xing shook his head: "Not yet."

He said: "Actually, the emperor is also testing. This is a game between the imperial court and Yanbei Palace. Yanbei has opened a mutual market, which is also a piece of fat for the imperial court."

"Fat meat!"

Tao Zhen suddenly stopped, and Huo Xing did not rush her. He stood there waiting for her. Tao Zhen stood there for a cup of tea, raised his head and said, "Master Huo, I may have an idea."

...Fucheng Inspection Department.

Several adults were still arguing over how to deal with the prisoners in the exile village.

"Where's Mr. Ning?" Huo Xing hurriedly came in and asked.

Master Zhang snorted coldly and said: "Still resting in the mansion."

Mr. Zhang was extremely dissatisfied with this gentleman from the capital. He mocked: "After all, he is a high-ranking official from the capital. He kills people at every turn. That is killing, not chopping cabbage. He knows what will happen after killing him." The consequences? Our Yanbei is not just a quarry or an exile village. If he does this, it will have the opposite effect and there will be a riot. How many people are there in the Yamen and the Inspection Department? What use can they do? Besides, then, Can multiple people be killed?"

Mr. Zhang was upright and spoke directly. An adult next to him persuaded him, and he became even more excited: "What did I say wrong? Originally, they caused trouble. They just patted their butts and left. It's not the one who cleans up the mess then." Us? Yanbei has only been peaceful for a few years, and has finally lived a peaceful life, and then some high-ranking official comes here. His hair is not even long, and he is dictating to Yanbei without letting anyone talk about it..."

Before Mr. Zhang finished speaking, a man walked in from outside. This man was very young. He looked like he was only in his twenties. He had a handsome appearance and a cool temperament. He was wearing a red official uniform, which made him look more gorgeous. His lips were very red. , with sharp eyes, he glanced at Mr. Zhang and sneered: "Why don't you say anything?"

Mr. Zhang was a bit sarcastic at first, but he became angry when he saw the person coming. What the hell, he just came to Yan Bei to point fingers because he was the emperor's nephew and didn't understand anything. He didn't buy it.

Master Zhang said: "Master Ning, I am not wrong. Even if you are standing here, I will still say that."

Master Ning was sitting at the top, listening to Master Zhang's words. In fact, he had heard these words countless times and repeated them over and over again. These words had no effect at all.

"What do you think Master Zhang should do with these people?" Master Ning suddenly said: "Let them go directly? Let them go back to the exile village to live a stable life? What if they are unhappy and escape again in a few days?"

Master Ning's words made Master Zhang choke.

"Then we can't kill them. If Yang Songbo hadn't forced them, how could they have run away?" Mr. Zhang was a little angry: "They're all dead anyway, so aren't you afraid of them joining together and rioting together?"

"How about the riot? How many fugitives can the Yanbei Army defeat?" Mr. Ning narrowed his eyes dangerously and said: "So, Mr. Zhang still hasn't said how to deal with these people!"

Lord Zhang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by another adult on the side. He reluctantly sat on the chair, but he was still very disdainful of Lord Ning. The imperial court was crazy and sent a Maoist. If a little guy comes here, what use can he do?

Everyone was silent. Master Zhang and Master Ning were both right. It would definitely not work to let him go directly, but it would not work to kill him either.

Everyone whispered and talked a lot.

Ning Hao sat at the top and looked at these people. He had to say that they were a bunch of useless trash.

Master Su came soon after, followed by Yan Dongyuan. When he saw Yan Dongyuan, Ning Hao finally raised his eyelids.

The Yanbei Palace is finally going to intervene!

"My lords, I am Huo Xing, the director of the Ningzhou Inspection Department. I have a solution for the fugitives from the Ningzhou exile village."

Huo Xing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up.

Master Su smiled and said, "Master Huo, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong. We are here today to discuss a solution."

Ning Hao picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. The tea was indeed good, but it was not new. Yanbei was a poor place and there was no such thing as old or new tea. Moreover, people here did not like to drink tea. If you drink too much, it is also a cow's drink, which is extremely vulgar.

He put down the tea cup and sat casually, waiting for the young man below to speak.

Judging from his age, he is a little younger than himself. He took the position of Director of the Audit Department at a young age, so he must have come through the back door.

The attendant whispered something in his ear, and Ning Hao thought to himself, it was indeed the eldest grandson of the Huo family who came through the back door.
