Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 87 Song Zhen Deserves to Die (3)

Although he had long known that Luo Yuheng's thoughts were rather jumpy, the fact that they jumped to such an extent still caught Song Yan off guard.

We were probably discussing how to deal with the Japanese pirates just now, why did we suddenly jump to Luo Tianyi?
For ancient people, it was normal for sisters to marry the same man. Song Yan subconsciously turned around and looked behind him, but found that Luo Tianyi, who was originally leaning against the tree trunk, was nowhere to be seen.

call!
If Luo Tianyi heard this, he might think that he was coveting her. Although his sister-in-law was very nice, he really didn't have that idea.

Luo Yuheng seemed to be just joking and didn't delve into it.

Song Yan has been quite busy during this period.

He first made a wolf whisk.

The so-called wolf whisk is also known as dragon whisk.

It is relatively simple to make. You only need to choose a thick bamboo and take the head of about five meters, remove the bamboo leaves but keep the bamboo branches, then pour tung oil into it, and embed an iron spear head on the head, and it is done.

If you want, you can also apply poison to it, and it will become a poisonous wolf whisk.

Such weapons are long and heavy, not suitable for single combat, but bamboo branches are relatively soft, and even Japanese swords cannot cut them easily, so they can effectively resist the frontal assault of Japanese pirates. Moreover, because the wolf-whip is long, even Japanese pirates holding spears are difficult to harm.

Fortunately, he had the "Ji Xiao Xin Shu" in his mind. Otherwise, although he knew that there was a weapon called wolf-whip, he would have no idea how it was made.

The five hundred soldiers... no, the farmers... were somewhat disdainful of Song Yan's weapon. No matter how much they tossed it around, it was still just a piece of bamboo, wasn't it? It was a joke.

What's more, it was really unpleasant for them, who had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, to obey the orders of a young boy.

It was only after a farmer tried to play the role of a pirate, thrusting left and right but still unable to break through the wolf-shaped mace blockade, that he gradually gave in. Of course, Song Yan also understood that it was not so easy to subdue these people, but he did not care, as long as they could be obedient for a while.

During this period, Luo Tianshu also brought news that the Japanese pirates would attack Ningping County in half a month.

The good thing is that Song Yan has enough time for these so-called farmers to become proficient in using the wolf-whip and setting up the mandarin duck formation.

The bad thing is that fifteen days is enough to show that the number of Japanese pirates appearing this time will be extremely exaggerated. Even if Song Yan did everything according to the "Jixiao New Book", he did not have much confidence whether he could withstand several times more Japanese pirates.

On an August afternoon, the sky was dotted with white clouds. It was early autumn at this time, and the temperature was just right. There was a leisurely atmosphere inside and outside the city. The bright autumn sun cast shadows on the roads and courtyards.

People come and go in the ancient city, storytellers' voices echo in restaurants and teahouses, and girls with red sleeves enthusiastically attract guests coming and going. After all, winter comes after autumn.

It's too cold, even the girls don't want to go out.

The aroma of brewing tea slowly wafts through the attic.

"Damn it! The court is full of treacherous officials. This time, Chu has disregarded the alliance between our two countries and brazenly sent troops to capture two of our cities. They are even demanding an annual tribute of 300,000 silver coins and 100,000 pieces of cloth from us."

"The Emperor of Chu actually requested to address Your Majesty as uncle or nephew."

"It's a disgrace."

"How could I, Daning, have fallen into such a state?"

In the teahouse, several scholars were filled with indignation.

Song Yan, who was drinking tea on the side, slowly exhaled, looking somewhat helpless.

In the autumn of the 19th year of Ninghe, there was a border conflict between Ning and Chu. Ning was badly defeated, with more than 30,000 soldiers and two cities lost. If winter had not approached and the northern barbarians on the grassland had not made some unusual movements, they would have fought all the way to the heartland of Ning.

"Taxes will be increased again this year. After all, three hundred thousand silver and one hundred thousand cloth are not a small amount."

"The people will suffer again."

"Hey... If the Yang family hadn't controlled the court and their military wasted, how could our Ning Kingdom have been in this state? Think back to when Daning was first established, with its fierce battles and iron cavalry, the northern barbarians dared not come south to graze their horses. What heroes were they? It's a pity that Taizu died young..."

The middle-aged man he met that day appeared in Song Yan's mind.

Majesty, pride, and suppressed fatigue.

Uncle and nephew.

For him, that must be a great shame.

"Shh, Brother Liu, don't talk like that. There are too many people here, be careful..."

One of them was probably a little drunk. He stood up with one foot on a chair, holding a wine jug in one hand, his face flushed, but his eyes were filled with deep hatred.

However, his companion's face changed drastically, and he hurried forward to try to cover his mouth. It would have been fine if he had criticized the government in private, but he specifically mentioned the Yang family. He was asking for his life. Didn't he even know the surname of this Ningping County?

"What are you being careful about?" The scholar surnamed Liu struggled to break free. "As scholars, we should be loyal to our emperor and our country. How can we be afraid of a mere Yang Ning?"

call.

At this moment, a jar was suddenly thrown down from upstairs.

With a bang, it hit the scholar's forehead and shattered with a crackling sound. The wine flowed down his head and all over his body, but he was injured. Some red marks slowly dissolved with the wine.

"Bah, what kind of person dares to insult the reputation of my Yang family?"

A frivolous voice came from upstairs.

Looking up, I saw three young men, all about eighteen or nineteen years old, and they looked somewhat similar.

Behind him, a large number of servants swarmed out.

Seeing these three people appear, many people's faces changed drastically, and they immediately lowered their heads, not daring to speak. These three people were considered local tyrants in Ningping County. Aside from the young masters of the Duke of Song's mansion and the young masters of the Luo family, there was no one they dared not provoke.

But it was Yang Chang, Yang Ping, and Yang Long!

The magistrate of Ningping County, the son of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.

Seeing these three people appear, even their classmates dared not stay and retreated to the side with their heads down. However, the young man surnamed Liu was unafraid. He wiped the wine and blood from his face and glared at the three people: "Reputation? The Yang family still has a reputation?"

"Who in the entire Ning Kingdom doesn't know that the Yang family is full of beasts? If the Yang family is not destroyed, Ning Kingdom will perish."

He's quite a man of character.

The three young masters of the Yang family, who had just come downstairs, had completely darkened expressions. This was the first time in Ningping County that someone had dared to be so rude to the Yang family. Yang Long, the most explosive of them all, clenched his fist and was about to strike, but Yang Ping, who was standing next to him, grabbed his wrist and said, "Cousin, why are you going through so much trouble? Someone, take him away and throw him in the dungeon first. Don't let this idiot ruin our fun."

At that moment, a group of servants rushed forward, directly controlled the scholar named Liu, and dragged him out.

The other two men had gloomy smiles on their faces. Beating people outside would not have a good impact after all, but in a place like a dungeon, there are plenty of ways to torture this kid. They could break all his teeth and cut his tongue to see if he would still be as sharp-tongued as he is now.

Many people looked at the scholar with pity in their eyes, but they could do nothing.

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from not far away: "As expected of the Yang family, so majestic."

"They are just a few servants, not even a single officer, yet they dare to arrest people in public. I thought Ningguo's surname was Yang instead of Luo."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became silent.

My goodness, where did this fearless person come from?
Even the three brothers of the Yang family changed their expressions. These words were even more vicious than those of the Liu family. Even though the Yang family now controlled the court, they did not dare to say such a treasonous thing about the Ningguo family. After all, the relationship between Emperor Ninghe and the Yang family was not harmonious, and the Yang family was not without opponents in the court.

If someone else could catch me...

Three pairs of eyes glared at the direction where the sound came from, and saw that there were three people, one man and two women.

That man was as gentle as jade;

One woman is mature and charming, the other is lively and playful.

It was Song Yan, Gu Banxia and Kong Chan.

Originally, the three of them were extremely angry, but when they saw Gu Banxia and Kong Chan, greed appeared in their eyes.

It would be a pleasure to bring such a beautiful woman home and play with and torture her.

"Who am I? I'm the son-in-law of the Luo family. Since when did a son-in-law have the right to speak? This person has insulted the reputation of our Yang family. Can't we punish him?" Yang Ping, the eldest of the group, said coldly, recognizing Song Yan's identity.

"I don't know whether it has tarnished the reputation of the Yang family. I only know that we are a group of servants and have no right to arrest people, let alone throw them into the dungeon." Song Yan smiled and said without any sign of nervousness or anger, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

"My father is the county magistrate..."

"That's your father, who are you?" Song Yan raised his eyebrows, his tone still calm.

But Yang Ping's breathing stagnated, his face flushed, and a layer of anger suddenly emerged on his face. This kind of calm humiliation of himself was even more infuriating.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, Yang Chang beside him suddenly reached out to stop him, smiling: "Brother Song is teaching a lesson to our brother Meng Lang."

With a wave of his hand, Yang Chang left with the people around him. Although Yang Ping and Yang Long were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to follow behind.

When they reached the door, Yang Chang suddenly stopped again and said, "By the way, Brother Song, I heard that your brother Song Zhen seems to have been acquitted recently. The Ministry of Justice has reviewed the case, and it seems that Song Yun's death was just an accident."

"I'm sure you must be very happy that your brother is out of prison. Brother Song, you must be careful recently. Don't lose your life accidentally."

Song Yan smiled and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Yang, but... the person who loses his life may not be me."

Yang Chang just snorted and ignored Song Yan as he walked straight outside. When he got outside the teahouse, Yang Ping couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, are you just going to let this kid go?"

"How could that be? A little impatience can ruin a big plan. You haven't forgotten tonight... I don't want any trouble to arise before this." Yang Chang said with a smile: "After all, I heard that Luo Yuheng attaches great importance to this son-in-law. Wherever Song Yan is, Luo Tianyi must be there. I don't want to mess with that crazy woman."

Yang Ping and Yang Long's expressions also changed slightly. They probably couldn't beat Luo Tianyi, even with the servants included. But they soon thought of something, and cruel smiles appeared on their faces.

Yes, after tonight, the Luo family will completely disappear from Ningping.

"It's such a pity for the women of the Luo family. They're going to be raped by those Japanese pirates... Tsk tsk..."

"What are you afraid of? At worst, I can just spend some money to buy it back from those pirates. It doesn't matter whether it's a chick or not."

"Who knows, even Luo Yuheng and Luo Tianyi can have a taste of it, and then they can all get together. She was once the eldest princess, a royal relative."

"hey-hey!"

With a sinister laugh, the three men walked away.

Inside the teahouse, Song Yan had a strange look on his face.

Song Zhen, there is still a chance to get out?

I'm afraid the Yang family directly exerted force in the court to change Song Zhen's judgment.

If that’s the case, why would Yang Miaoqing do this?
Could it be that this message was intercepted? Was it Yang Siyao?

It doesn’t matter. Anyway, Song Zhen deserves to die.
