The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 319 319. Shameful

Although he was treated in time, the wound is just a wound and it is irreversible.

Dr. Chen is not a miracle doctor either. He is helpless to deal with many illnesses.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s best if you can save your life.”

Although Hua Shi is sad, this injury may be the only way to save Fengshan from the fire pit, so she can only endure it!

 The heavy rain washed the post-war Liangzhou City clean, giving it a refreshing smell.

  But except for the majestic General's Mansion in the past.

At this moment, there are traces of fire and lightning everywhere in the General's Mansion, and a large number of houses have collapsed. If you look carefully, you will find that the fire started from the west, and more than a dozen houses were swallowed up at once.

There were no people inside who had escaped, some were curled up and struggling could be seen, or some were lying flat on their limbs as if they had died long ago.

 They were placed in rows on stretchers, and each one was covered with a white cloth.

After counting, it was found that all the people living in the house with the Ninth Prince were buried in the fire without being exposed.

Xiao Ji, who was in charge of this matter, took a look at their neatly arranged corpses, his face showing no emotion.

They are just a group of people who don't care about death. It's just that the Ninth Prince has been seriously damaged this time, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with.

"General, a large number of female corpses were found in the house. These people are not maids in the house. In addition, many fragments of wine jars were also found. It seems that this is what caused the continuous fire."

This is because the sky has eyes, and even excuses are sent to them at the door.

So he gave the order, "Find a righteous village and park them there. Wait for the Ninth Prince to say anything about the burial matters."

"yes!"

 In the Huajia Restaurant, when listening to Xiao Ji's reports one by one, the Ninth Prince's face turned pale and he almost couldn't get off the stage.

They brought those women from Ganzhou, and they also collected the wine. The burning exposed this embarrassing matter. Even if he wanted to blame Xiao Ji, he couldn't make an excuse.

 The fire was caused by lightning, which is a natural disaster.

 The fire spread because there were too many wine jars.

As for why they failed to escape, it was probably because they drank too much or indulged in too much.

 No matter what the result is, it is a slap in the face of the Ninth Prince.

 So he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

It was Xiao Ji who took the initiative to speak.

“The generals have traveled thousands of miles to help Liangzhou, and it is a pity to have such a result. The general thought that they could be included in the list of fallen soldiers, so as to comfort the heroic spirits.”

 When Xiao Ji said this, he almost made himself sick, but there was nothing he could do.

In this way, on the one hand, the list of pensions can be quickly submitted to the Ministry of War, and the pensions can be paid out faster. On the other hand, the Ninth Prince can also be slightly respected. By then, he will bring up the Fengshan matter, and things may change. room.

Sure enough, the Ninth Prince looked much better after hearing what he said. "General Xiao is a great righteous man. These words have won the heart of His Highness. It is a great loss for us to lose so many good generals all of a sudden. However, they also sacrificed their lives for the country, which also ruined the friendship between our Highness and their masters and servants." , just do as you say, and you can submit the list, and I will ask the Ministry of War to expedite and approve it."

 “Your Highness is kind and kind, I will thank you on behalf of thousands of soldiers!”

"Get up, this fire was caused by the dryness of the northwest. General Xiao still has to find a way to solve the water source problem, otherwise relying on a few wells will not work. Look at how slow it is to bring water to put out the fire this time. "

“Thank you for your highness’s advice. I will take this into consideration and find a way to divert a branch of the Lanshui River to alleviate the urgent needs of Liangzhou City.”

 While talking, he gave a kind suggestion.

"The general's palace was burned down, and your highness has nowhere to go. It's not appropriate to stay in Hua's restaurant. Why don't you go back to Ganzhou? The governor's palace is also convenient for your highness to recuperate. What do you think, your highness?"

The Ninth Prince had long wanted to leave Liangzhou City, which was not in line with his destiny. Now that Xiao Ji said this, he just happened to be able to use the **** to get off the donkey.

"That's fine, otherwise this prince will be distracted by General Xiao taking care of me here. After returning to Ganzhou to rest for a few days, it's time for us to return to the court. My father and others are still waiting in the capital to hold a celebration banquet for everyone. "

 Xiao Ji nodded with understanding, "Then, general, I wish your highness a safe journey."

"General Xiao, you are welcome. You have a share in this credit book. Your Highness will never forget it."

The two of them were talking in a harmonious atmosphere. Xiao Ji felt that it was almost time, so he planned to plead for Fengshan.

"Your Highness, the fire has also spread to the dungeon. The Su tribesman who assassinated you has been burned to death. The head of the Feng family was burned by the fire after struggling to escape from the dungeon. He is now lying unconscious in the hospital for treatment. Feng Family The family said they are willing to hand over 100,000 silver to pay for the army’s departure, and also ask Your Highness to allow Master Feng to go home first for medical treatment.”

The Ninth Prince was silent. If it had been before the fire, he would never have agreed to it. It was simply impossible to send him away for just one hundred thousand silver.

 But now, he was in a hurry to leave Liangzhou City, and Fengshan was seriously burned and injured. Whether he could survive or not was irrelevant. Why did he take away a half-dead man?

If Fengshan really lost his life because of this, wouldn't he be enmity with the entire Feng family?

Forget it if they were just ordinary merchants, behind them there were also the big houses in Dongdu City, the Bai family, and even the Lin family and Prince Kang's house. He had to think about how everything could be affected by their influence.

 After a while, when Xiao Ji was a little unsure, the Ninth Prince slowly spoke.

"Since the assassin is dead, that's it. For the sake of General Xiao, His Highness will let him go. However, all these Su people will be expelled from Liangzhou City. If you look at them one more time, Your Highness will feel that Disgusting."

The expression of disgust and disdain is clearly revealed.

 Dajin people, Su people, Zigu people, Mobei people…

Now they are all from Liangzhou City. Since they have accepted them, there is no reason to send them away. What's more, the Ninth Prince is just doing it for his own selfish purposes. It has not been found out whether that person has been framed, but now he is implicated. The whole clan is really wrong.

 But if he pleads openly for them, I'm afraid the Ninth Prince will kill them all.

So he changed his direction and said, "Your Highness's words are reasonable, but there will be a better way in the end, which can not only preserve His Highness's reputation, but also make these Su people vent their anger on His Highness's behalf."

“Oh? General Xiao, please speak.”

"The construction of city walls and the defense of outer roads are the hardest and most difficult tasks. We might as well drive all the Su people over to build them. This will not only save the strength of the soldiers, but also allow them to live a miserable life. If they can't help but flee at that time, , then we have an excuse to punish him properly."

The Ninth Prince's eyes lit up, and there were more indescribable emotions in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Ji.
