After hearing this, Cui Zhonglei was slightly distracted and said in a soft voice: "when I met Mrs. Li and Su Kun, I always thought of the days when I was a child and my mother depended on each other Well, it's useless to talk about the past. Let's talk about something else. "
Qiulan thought about it and asked him, "how do you know about Ni Qingfeng? Doesn't it mean that it's secret? "
Cui Zhonglei said: "it's not difficult to know. After all, a simple reasoning can lead to a conclusion."
Qiulan shook her head: "I don't understand."
Can orange way: "there is a way is that people are not afraid of shadow slant.". If Ni Qingfeng didn't do something bad, why should he stay in a simple place and stay away from home? In addition, I heard elder brother Cui say that Ni Qingfeng built a study in the mansion for fear of being harmed. He also blocked all the doors and windows of the study with bricks and stones, leaving only a thick iron door to go in and out. He kept his only key for 12 hours. According to this, he was clearly afraid of revenge. In principle, he has been far away from the capital, to the border, who will pursue him? It must be the enemy who has a deep hatred with him. What hatred is so deep? If you think about the defeat in Northern Xinjiang, the tragic death of 800 warriors, his resignation and Gao Rong's pursuit, you can see the clue. "
Cui Zhonglei sincerely praised: "but orange is really a little bit transparent!"
But orange said with a smile: "I'm just guessing. I'm just right. By the way, is Ni Qingfeng dead? Does his son really have no idea? "
Cui Zhonglei nodded: "yes, Ni Jinkang knows nothing about the evil things his father did."
Can orange way: "treason is a capital crime, won't implicate descendants?"
Cui Zhonglei shook his head: "no connection."
Qiulan widened his eyes: "so he can still sit on his family property and enjoy the rest of his life?"
Cui Zhonglei said: "after Ni Qingfeng's judgment, Ni Jinkang collected his body for him. After he was buried, he dismissed a group of slaves, but he didn't know where he was. Half a year later, he was suddenly sent a letter. The letter said a lot of remorse for Ni Qingfeng. It turned out that he spent half a year selling all the treasures in his family and discounted a total of 100000 taels of silver. He sent all the silver to the county government and asked me to hand it over to the families of those soldiers who died in Northern Xinjiang. To be honest, I read the letter at that time, and I had all kinds of tastes in my heart... "
Everyone sighed: "his father is so unbearable, how can he bring up a righteous son?"
Cui Zhonglei said, "who said no, everyone feels strange. The extremely solid and thick Ni house, which has been standing in Lan county for ten years, has become the granary of the county government ever since This is the only contribution Ni Qingfeng has made to Lan county
Takasaki is indifferent to these. What he cares about is whether Hu Bing has invaded Lan county on the appointed day.
Cui Zhonglei smiles and says, "Your Highness, listen to me."
After the Yamen officer put Ni Qingfeng in prison, Cui Zhonglei and Wang man Gaorong discussed for more than half a day about Hu Bing's appointment to attack Lan county in the later days. After discussion, Wang man Gaorong and Cui Zhonglei acted separately.
In the afternoon of that day, Gao Rong arranged to stop the city guarding one by one. He selected elite soldiers to ambush at the water gate in the west of the city, and ordered the remaining soldiers to form a formation one by one to guard the four gates in sections.
According to Wang man's order, the four square regular told the people that Hu Bing might attack the city that night. Therefore, all the adult men in the city were busy. They piled up all the wood, rolling stones, dry firewood, fire oil and other things on the city tower, and took all the bows, arrows, machetes and other things, ready to fight the enemy.
Before the time of Wushi, Gao Rong ordered a team of 50 people, led by a soldier, to go up to the city building to help fight.
Six soldiers were deployed on the drum tower in the west of the city. As soon as Hu Bing approached the border, they beat the drum and called the police, while torches were immediately set on the tower. If Hu Bingming knew that there were heavy soldiers guarding the city and still wanted to attack, they would sacrifice their lives to protect the city and let them die in the sea of fire.
Cui Zhonglei had dinner in the inner Yamen and took out the sword that Wan Su had given him on the eve of his departure. He looked at it carefully. After a while, he murmured: "it's a good sword! He was willing to give it to me in this way. You can see that he is magnanimous, which is rare in the world! "
After saying this, he pulled out the blade again, but heard a "buzzing" sword buzzing into his ears. The sound was as melodious as a golden bell.
Cui Zhonglei held the sword for a moment, then inserted it into the scabbard and put it on the small table at the head of the bed. Then he went to bed and fell asleep.
When the time came, Wang man came to pick up Cui Zhonglei. He put on his armor, put on his official robe, took his sword, put on his official hat, and rode with Wang man to the west of the city.
Gao Rong reports to Cui Zhonglei under the gate tower in the west of the city that Magan has taken several brothers to guard the watchtower of Pan's mansion. If someone goes upstairs to light a fire, he will be taken down immediately.
Cui Zhonglei nodded, climbed up the stone steps to the tower, stood in front of the arrow tower, and looked into the distance with his sword in one hand. He saw that the sky was gray and the sky was dark. On the right is Gao Rong and a group of soldiers, and on the left is Wang man, who holds high the flag, with a solemn and majestic face.
Cui Zhonglei is very talented and rare in the world. He has become the youngest Deputy Minister of the capital water conservancy administration under the exception of a minor. However, due to family reasons, his desire to be a top three candidate in the scientific examination failed. He thought that he would never get what he wanted in his life. He led the army before the battle and fought against foreign enemies. He didn't want to make a mistake. Now he went to Lan county and became a Confucian general.Cui Zhonglei was very proud to see the apricot yellow flag flying in the wind.
As midnight approached, people looked into the distance and saw the fire rising in the dark. From far to near, a large group of infantry were rushing to Lan county.
The light of the fire is approaching. When it's about half a mile away from the gate, it doesn't move forward. It seems that they are waiting for the signal from the watchtower of panlan's house.
Cui Zhonglei stands on the top of the tower and watches it quietly. Everyone around him is ready for a fierce battle with sharp swords and bows. However, Hu soldiers did not see the fire on the watchtower, and did not dare to rush in. After a stalemate for half an hour, they retreated without fighting.
Since then, the three rebel forces in Dali have been silent. After ten years of painstaking efforts, Ni Qingfeng, the former general of the left Wei Wei army, attempted to launch a rebellion, and finally leveled off without fighting.
Soon after, the official documents of the imperial court came to Lan county.
Ni Qingfeng was sentenced to beheading; Gou Lan was also sentenced to beheading.
On the day of execution, there was a sea of people in the South Square of the city. The executioner's hand fell. Ni Qingfeng and Gou LAN didn't snort. Their two heads fell into the dust, and blood gushed from their necks. Some of the people around them screamed in horror, some hid their faces with their sleeves, and others cheered and yelled that they deserved what they deserved.
Since then, Cui Zhonglei has cleared all the obstacles in Lan county. This small border town is happy to be even. The people are very grateful to Cui Zhonglei's parents, and even set up a ancestral temple for him after he left office and returned to Beijing. A few years later, when they were exiled from the capital to Dali, Ke Cheng and WAN Su passed by here, and they were filled with emotion. This, of course, is a later story.
At the beginning of the next year, Cui Zhonglei solved the case of Sujing's legacy. Everyone in Lan county was surprised. The imperial court learned that Cui Zhonglei had solved several suspicious cases. If he had been a magistrate in Lan county, a small border town, wouldn't he have buried talents? Therefore, before his term of office expired, he was recalled to the capital and entrusted with another important task.
