Chapter 68
The little girl was holding the child and didn't dare to get up to chase Madam Yan, she just stared blankly at Madam Yan's back as she left.

She didn't expect that her aunt would leave the child to her alone and run away!
Madam Yan walked quickly, and disappeared in an instant.

The little girl immediately looked at Yan Min who was sleeping soundly beside her, and curled her lips.

If she knew that it was so difficult to hold a baby, she would not have added Schisandra to calm the nerves in Yan Min's medicine.

A mere dose of schisandra gave her a taste of what it means to be in a dilemma, and she regretted it.

At this moment, the sound of a carriage came from outside the house, and the corners of the little girl's lips raised slightly.

She knew her pre-arranged laundry had arrived.

The little girl looked down at the child with blurred eyes in her arms, and said comfortingly, "Go to sleep. The new clothes have arrived. I will make you a new one tonight. How about it?"

Although children are difficult to hold, the soft and soft dumplings are really cute.

Chengzhou
"The next official, Kang Fengnian, sees General Sheng." Kang Fengnian in official uniform knelt in front of Sheng Jingmo and saluted.

Sheng Jingmo stood in front of the upright plaque, scrutinizing the person in front of him, his eyes were deep and piercing.

Sheng Jingmo didn't say a word, but Kang Fengnian could feel Sheng Jingmo examining himself, and tiny beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, densely packed.Hands trembled slightly, covered with sweat.

He sent his adopted son to assassinate Sheng Jingmo.

In order to keep the secret, he gave his adoptive daughter a seven-day powder to avoid future troubles, so as not to follow the clues and find out about him.

Five days ago, Cheng Fan, who had been following Sheng Jingmo's side, suddenly appeared at his mansion, saying that he had something important to discuss, and forced him to Chengzhou.

Facing Sheng Jingmo who had the title of "Iron Man Tu", Kang Fengnian was so frightened that his hands and feet became numb, and beads of sweat fell to the ground.

Sheng Jingmo looked at Kang Fengnian who was covered in cold sweat, and said in a deep voice, "Get up!"

Kang Fengnian got up immediately, took a step forward to cover the dripping sweat from himself, and wiped his forehead to cover up: "The weather is a bit hot, and the officials are in a hurry to travel, and they didn't bring thin clothes to change. General Sheng, don't argue with me."

Kang Fengnian stood opposite Sheng Jingmo, allowing Sheng Jingmo to see clearly what his adoptive father said to be the most literati-like court official.

He has a ruddy complexion, a tall figure, a long beard, and a smile on his lips. Although he is over forty years old, he can still be called handsome.

Sheng Jingmo sat down on the top chair, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't have time to argue with your lord about your disrespect. I sent someone to invite you here today because I want to ask your lord something."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's okay to say what's up with the general, the subordinate officer will know everything and say everything." Kang Fengnian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not just looking for trouble, it seems that General Sheng is here for the first time, and some things are not clear, so he sent someone to bring him here.

General Sheng was born in the military, and he always pays attention to speed in doing things.

Sheng Jingmo looked at Kang Fengnian with a relaxed expression, his dark eyes flickered with a dark light, gloomy and gloomy: "This general wants to know who built the Chengzhou dam when Mr. Wu was the magistrate of Chengzhou, and who were the participants? ? Who is the supervisor?"

Kang Fengnian didn't see Sheng Jingmo's eyes, and pretended to be relaxed, and replied calmly: "The next official just entered the official career, and was transferred to Chengzhou to take up the post, so the next official doesn't understand these things."

After finishing speaking, Kang Fengnian was afraid that Sheng Jingmo would be angry, so he made a note: "General, if you want to find out the truth, you can consult the classics and archives of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

When the flood broke out, the classics and records of the household department had been quietly destroyed by the people he sent to the capital.

No one could find out that he led people to build the dam, then expropriated the houses of the common people, and put all the silver that the court pulled out into his pocket.

Sheng Jingmo sneered when he heard his answer: "Kang Fengnian, why do you think this general invited you here?"

For many years of fighting, he had never met such a brazen person.

Kang Fengnian smiled and said: "The general is for the Chengzhou dam."

"The Chengzhou dam was supervised by you and your people. You expropriated the houses of the common people and put all the money in your pockets. But you have the guts to talk nonsense in front of this general." After the words fell, Sheng Jingmo looked up. Kang Fengnian with a face of hypocrisy and righteousness: "Do you have anything to say to defend yourself?"

"General, how can you slander the lower officials like this?"

Kang Fengnian was not afraid at all, but argued with him righteously: "You are a general of the second rank, an extremely personable minister, and the lower official is also a civil servant of the fourth rank. The lower official entered the court as an official and first entered the court. The king of Xiliang fell in love with each other at first sight, and they were friends of the same generation. How could you insult him at will?"

Kang Fengnian was a civil servant and didn't know much about Sheng Jingmo, so he wanted to rely on his old man to sell his old man and overwhelm Sheng Jingmo in terms of momentum.

The king of Xiliang once said that he often used his collection of poems to inspire his children.

Thinking about it this way, Kang Fengnian became even more imposing.

Sheng Jingmo stood up suddenly, looked at Kang Fengnian in front of him, and said, "It seems that you still don't understand this general."

His voice was low and cold, Sui Dazhuang and Zhao Kuan stepped into the door, held Kang Fengnian's shoulder, and kicked Kang Fengnian's leg.

"Crack."

"Ah." The sharp painful voice resounded throughout the room, deafening.

Sui Dazhuang stepped on Kang Fengnian's leg bone, raised his voice and slapped Kang Fengnian across the face, and scolded: "What's the point of yelling in front of the general?"

"If you dare to say one more word, I will destroy you." Zhao Kuan put his foot on Kang Fengnian's secret place.

Kang Fengnian was sweating profusely from the pain, and now he was threatened again, so he dared to say too much, so he hugged himself, curled up into a ball, gritted his teeth and endured.

Sui Dazhuang will give Kang Fengnian a chance to cry out in pain, and hold his arm to make him kneel in front of Sheng Jingmo: "Confess your crime honestly. Otherwise, I will make your life worse than death!"

"A military camp is not an official prison. There are plenty of ways to make life worse than death."

Sheng Jingmo looked at Kang Fengnian who was sweating profusely, and said: "If you are stubborn, I promise to save your life and give you the opportunity to experience all the tortures."

Kang Fengnian lost all five senses of pain, and roared hysterically: "I am an official of the imperial court, even if I want to be detained for interrogation, it is a matter for the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. How can you ignore the law and allow your subordinates to use lynching."

Sheng Jingmo sneered, and said softly: "This general has never heard such a funny joke since he went to the battlefield."

"Didn't you tell your adopted son Zhang Ye that this general kills people like hemp, disregarding right from wrong, and disregarding the law?" Sheng Jingmo asked back with a smile, his sword eyebrows slightly raised, and there was a trace of murderous intent in his cold eyes.

"Your adopted sons have already been recruited, and you are still here playing sloppy with this general, you are quite courageous!"

Sheng Jingmo waved his hand and ordered, "Bring Zhang Ye in."

 The reason for the lynching will be revealed in the next chapter.
