Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

Chapter 261.
It's not that Shan Yan doesn't know, but that the place he said has long been empty.

The Ninth Prince was so angry that he rushed directly into the cage and beat him up!
The more flesh and blood flew, the more excited he was.

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

Shan Yanben didn't eat for several days, and was tortured one after another.

Seeing the motionless Shan Yan, 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, the man is dead."

"If you die, you will die. Send the news back to the Eastern Capital and tell your father that the former governor killed himself by biting his tongue out of fear of torture. As for his body, just find a mass grave and throw it away. Continue to look for that As for the whereabouts of the bank notes, if he doesn’t say anything and goes to interrogate his family, I won’t believe that no one will know!”

"Yes!"

Throwing the whip on the ground, he took the handkerchief Long Guang handed over to wipe off the blood on his hands, and led the people away in full view of everyone.

Then, there were countless horrible screams from the prison, but unfortunately, the whereabouts of the banknote were still not found.

In Liangzhou City, Xiao Ji looked at the news sent by General Su with a solemn expression.

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

"I didn't expect that it would be the governor who colluded with the Beidi people. No wonder he wanted to clean up the Ninth Prince at the beginning, not to mention delaying the army's advance, and deliberately reported the Liangzhou incident when he was drunk, forcing him to I had to come late at night, so that I would be accidentally bombed by Beidi people!"

The fist hit the table heavily, and the corners of the table were cracked.

Xiao Ji 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, so he probably won't end well. But now we have to think about countermeasures. If the Ninth Prince crosses the bridge and comes to Liangzhou City to make trouble, what can we do to protect those people?" Disaster victims?"

The so-called disaster victims are actually foreigners.

During this period of time, nearly 8000 people came one after another, almost catching up with one-tenth of the original 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 the few of them is that no one will be rejected.

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

Of course, among these foreigners, there are some people who are not enterprising, but they are a minority after all, and more people rely on their own ability to eat. On the contrary, they have made the originally lazy Dajin people become more diligent.

Be prepared for danger.

Rather than blindly thinking that the Great Jin Dynasty is orthodox and looks down on foreigners.

"The Ninth Prince's actions are nothing more than trying to steal the credit for the battle of Liangzhou. If General Xiao can swallow these honors, please attribute the credit to the Ninth Prince. Maybe the peace of Liangzhou can be preserved."

Mr. Chen saw the crux of the problem at a glance, and said it bluntly.

Xiao Ji pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

On the other hand, Xiao Muqian couldn't sit still.

"Why? The military merits that we gained from fighting with swords here are just handed over to the Ninth Prince who sings and sings every night in Ganzhou City. Why?"

As a military general of the Jin Dynasty, earning more glory with military merit is what most people think in their minds.

Especially the soldiers and lieutenants at the lower level, they all pointed out that this big victory would allow them to be promoted and get more military pay back to their families.

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

Xiao Ji is a little bit embarrassed that one hair can move the whole body.

Feng Shan hadn't said a word, but now he could see what he was thinking, so he spoke.

"The general can write a letter and place the credit for the rapid recovery of Liangzhou City on the Ninth Prince. You must know that the credit is not small. Presumably the Holy One will praise the Ninth Prince if he knows it. Such a double credit For the glory of the soldiers below, the Ninth Prince must agree."

"However, the reconstruction after the war is all due to the achievements of Brother Feng, the other Patriarchs, and Old Chen. I, Xiao Ji, don't need the military achievements, but if your achievements are obliterated, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunities in the future."

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have no status at all.

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

But now...

Feng Shan smiled heartily, and exchanged glances with Mr. Chen.

Xiao Ji admired the open-mindedness in his heart.

"Don't worry, General Xiao, what we are rebuilding is our own homeland. If Liangzhou City becomes more prosperous, then we will naturally earn more businessmen by doing this. Compared with those illusory achievements, it is really better. The common people see the disaster relief with money, it’s just a false name, the grassroots don’t care, I believe other Patriarchs think the same way, Mr. Chen, don’t you think so?”

"Yes! General, please don't worry about us. This trivial matter is nothing to worry about. The peace of Liangzhou City is more important!"

Having said that, Xiao Muqian also eased a lot of emotions.

Facing Xiao Ji, he said, "Second Uncle, don't worry, as long as the soldiers under my command can have the merits they deserve, I won't talk about it again!"

"Okay! This time it's Hao Erlang from my Xiao family."

Looking at the appearance of all three of them not taking credit, Xiao Ji felt grateful to God in his heart, Liangzhou is lucky to have them in Liangzhou city.

The next day, Xiao Ji eloquently attributed the two great contributions of the Battle of Liangzhou and the post-disaster reconstruction to the Ninth Prince, wrote a thick and colorful memorial, and first sent it to the Ninth Prince.

When the Ninth Prince read the letter, the joy in the corners of his eyes and mouth could not be suppressed.

"General Xiao is indeed the pillar of the country. This king admires it very much. Since the memorial for this report has been prepared, let's send it to the capital as soon as possible. I think the emperor is still waiting to see it."

"Yes!" It was General Su who came to deliver the letter. Although he disagreed with General Xiao's move, he also knew that it was the best choice after weighing the pros and cons.

If the Ninth Prince is allowed to cross the river and make a fuss in Liangzhou, not to mention military merit, I'm afraid many people will suffer along with him.

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

Anyway, what the truth is, the prince knows it well.

Those who should be rewarded in the future will never miss it!
Then, while the Ninth Prince was happy, he hurriedly added.

"His Royal Highness commanded this battle well, but the soldiers below are also fighting bloody battles. I hope His Highness can praise them more for the sake of their lives."
