"Can you give me a drink of water?" Chen Da, the magistrate of Chang County, was immediately sent by Ning Changrong to mobilize local troops to arrest them after their criminal evidence was collected.

This time, not only Chen Da but also Bai Guangfu, Bai Yunliang's relative, and Yuzhou Prefecture Yin Tian Yushun were escorted to Jingzhou.

Tian Yushun licked his dry lips. They were locked in the prison car, with their hands and feet shackled.

"Give me some water, too. I'm so thirsty. I haven't had any water in two days."

The escorting soldiers ignored their pleas.

No matter how much these people talk, they have no reaction. When these people make them upset, they will even hit them with sticks.

"If you continue to make noise, come down and walk. Do you still think you are the master of Qingtian?!"

After being beaten several times, Chen Da and Tian Yushun did not dare to speak again.

When the army came to their door and forced them into prison, they knew they were doomed.

Now I just ask that the whole family is not harmed.

Seeing that these people had very bad attitudes and would beat or scold them. The food they ate was not even for dogs. It was so hard that it would choke someone to death. They also provided so little water. Bai Shiqi cursed and said, "You know who my uncle is." You guys dare to do this to me, wait till we get to the capital and see if I don’t take care of you!"

Bai Shiqi still couldn't see the form clearly, even his father Bai Guangfu turned away and didn't bother to scold him.

But why is there no desire in my heart?Maybe, the children's uncle really has a way to save their lives?

Bai Guangfu asked Bai Shiqi to personally lead people to block the entrance to the capital of Jingzhou, but Bai Shiqi was lazy and assigned his men to go there. He hid in Chang County and had fun, but was immediately caught and the whole family was escorted.

The soldier guarding the prisoner pulled out the knife and put it on Bai Shiqi's neck. Bai Shiqi's cursing voice stopped immediately, like a duck being strangled by the neck.

"What do you mean, you have to go under the knife to know how to be honest? You still expect Mr. Bai to save you, Mr. Bai himself can't save himself!" the other party said sarcastically.

Bai Shiqi waited for the other party to take the knife back, and wanted to reach out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but found that he was so scared that his whole body was weak and he couldn't even raise his hand.

"You, you are talking nonsense! How could something happen to my uncle? You are lying to me, right?"

Several other people also focused their attention on this soldier.

The soldier sneered: "Are you a prisoner worthy of me lying to you? The whole city has spread the news. It's just you idiots who don't know about it. You still don't understand the situation. Are you here to show off your power? You can eat whatever you have." You earned it by living one more day!"

After hearing this, Chen Da and others were filled with despair.

The only hope is gone.

All they can count on is Bai Yunliang.

No one would think that the soldier was deliberately lying to them, there was no need.

Several urging orders came from the capital, and the speed of escorting the prisoners became faster. They rushed day and night, and finally arrived at the capital of Jingzhou seven days later.

Originally, Chang Yuan hadn't figured out how to deal with Bai Yunliang, so he told him not to rush in escorting the prisoner.

After much deliberation, he came up with a great idea and asked Ning Changrong to discuss it. In the end, he adopted Ning Changrong's idea and then urged people to rush the prisoners and evidence into the capital.

Today is the day when the Changxian incident will be heard publicly in court. Ning Changrong was dressed and about to go out when he noticed a sedan in front of the house.Before he could speak, a woman came out. After a closer look, she was Bai Yunliang's wife.

The other party stepped forward and saluted Ning Changrong, "I have met Mr. Ning."

Ning Changrong also raised his hand and replied: "I have met Mrs. Bai." He was a little unsure. Why did Bai Yunliang's wife come to him at this time? Could it be that she wanted him to intercede for Bai Yunliang in the court?

Who doesn't know that Bai Yunliang doesn't want to deal with him, so he shouldn't beg him, right?

Bai Yunliang's wife looked bitter, "I know that Mr. Ning and my master have a lot of quarrels, but you are both dedicated to the country, but you have different opinions on certain things. Please believe that Mr. Ning, even if he does things No matter how bold you are, you will never dare to do such crazy things as cashiers."

When the other party said this, Ning Changrong already understood that he really came to him to plead for mercy.

Sure enough, the other party's next sentence was:

"I also ask Master Ning, for the sake of our former colleagues, to speak more for my master."

Ning Changrong smiled slightly, "I am just discussing the matter. It is getting late and I have to attend the morning court. If Madam has nothing to do, I will leave first."

After saying that, he opened the curtain of the carriage and got in, without giving Mrs. Bai a chance to say another word.

When they walked away, the maid next to Mrs. Bai asked: "Madam, will Mr. Ning really speak to the master?"

Since the incident in the Bai family, Mrs. Bai Yunliang no longer wears delicate makeup on her face. She looks like she has aged ten years and has gray hair on her temples. Whenever she comes to ask for help, they always turn her away, either. I just found an excuse to send her away.

Although she didn't say a few words to Ning Changrong today, this was the only time she could complete her request.

"Master Ning is indeed a true gentleman." In the past, her family was so busy that the door would be trampled to pieces. Now that something happened, everyone avoided their family like snakes and scorpions, for fear of attracting speculation from the palace officials. He didn't even dare to talk to her.

Ning Husheng drove the carriage and sat in the front, "Changrong, do you think Mrs. Bai took the wrong medicine and came to you for begging? Why did Bai Yunliang forget about her in the first place? How could he still have the nerve to come here? Looking for you, you are also good-tempered and listened to what she had to say."

Ning Changrong's face was calm, "I guess I have no other choice. Considering that I have worked with Master Bai in the past, it's enough to hear what she said." The friendship can only go so far.

The atmosphere in today's morning court was very solemn. Everyone had been speculating on why Bai Yunliang was grounded by His Majesty.

As the prisoners were escorted into the capital yesterday, the news had spread.

The group of people who had taken refuge in Bai Yunliang all felt like mourning.

Everyone wanted to work in a hurry and started to have a relationship with Bai Yunliang.

Bai Yunliang also participated in the morning court today. Normally there would be many people around him, but today there was suddenly a large empty space around him.

Ning Changrong walked next to him without looking away. When he saw the other person looking at him, he smiled politely at him.

Bai Yunliang was stunned for a moment, with mixed feelings in his heart.

When he was extremely powerful, he competed with this person. Now that he is in this situation, the person who dares to interact with him is actually this person?
This is probably the true gentleman mentioned in the book, right?

It was a waste that he had read the books of sages all his life and was actually blinded by power.
