At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 220 Wujimen is bright
At the city gate, Wuming had been waiting for a long time holding the little tiger. As soon as he saw the two people, he rushed over.
"Senior sister! Senior brother-in-law!"
Wuming came over and shouted at the city gate: "Ming Gongzi, my senior sister and her husband are here, open the city gate quickly!"
The city gate opened quickly, and Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin entered the city. As soon as they entered the city, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
After all, Nangong Lin has an outstanding temperament and Yu Yunxin is as beautiful as a fairy. The two of them standing together are like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.
"This is the female disciple of Taoist Ghost Master!" Master Ming looked at Yu Yunxin behind Nangong Lin with curious eyes and asked.
At this time, the ghost doctor slowly walked over, nodded gently, and said: "My disciple has already married. I believe that Mr. Ming should have heard about the story of Princess Xingguo and His Royal Highness Prince Yu."
Upon hearing this, Master Ming showed a surprised expression on his face. He immediately knelt in front of the two and said respectfully: "The guilty minister Minglang pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Princess Xingguo."
Nangong Lin frowned slightly, then motioned Minglang to stand up, and then said calmly: "This time, I came to Yongning County City on the orders of the current emperor. I will not pursue the fact that you led the people of Yongning County to revolt, but you need to know that King Rui and Prefect Bai have 200,000 private soldiers in their hands!"
Minglang did not show the slightest sign of fear when he heard this. Instead, he said angrily, "I knew something was wrong with Qizhou City. I didn't expect that Prince Rui and Prefect Bai would use the hard-earned money of the people of Qizhou to support so many private soldiers. They are simply so heartless and unscrupulous!" After he finished speaking, he clenched his fists, with anger flashing in his eyes.
"Yes! Not only do they exploit us, they also leave us hungry and cold. Even our families have starved to death. In some villages, people even eat their own children. These people are so despicable!" A big man next to him echoed.
"Humph!" Another big man snorted coldly, and then said: "However, we have millions of people in Qizhou. As long as we are united, what can a mere 200,000 troops do?"
"Yes!" Others responded and expressed their agreement.
At this time, Nangong Lin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He gently patted the big man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I am not here to oppose you, but to cooperate with you to create a new Qizhou together. In this way, no one will have to sacrifice any people, and everyone can achieve the life they expect."
Everyone was surprised, but also full of expectations. One of the men asked curiously, "Excuse me, Your Highness, what exactly do you mean by cooperation?"
"Mr. Ming, how many people can you mobilize in the entire Qizhou area?" Nangong Lin stared at him with sharp eyes and asked.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, to be honest, except for Qizhou Prefecture, where we haven't arranged any internal support, we have people from the Wuji Sect in other counties. I am the right protector of the Wuji Sect, Minglang." Minglang answered respectfully, with a determined light in his eyes.
“It seems that what I thought was right. Wherever the people are suffering, there the Wuji Sect will appear.” Nangong Lin said with emotion, his heart full of admiration for these chivalrous men in the martial arts world.
"Your Highness Prince Yu is right. If everyone can have enough food and clothing, who would be willing to join our Wuji Sect as a disciple? In the past few years, the number of Wuji Sect disciples in Qizhou has suddenly increased dramatically. I know that the people in Qizhou have a very difficult life." A big man next to Minglang couldn't help but interrupt, his tone full of grief and helplessness. The big man was burly and had an extraordinary aura. He bowed and introduced himself to everyone: "I am the fifth-generation elder of Wuji Sect, Bu Youming."
Then, another dark, thin, strong and capable man stepped forward and introduced himself: "I am the fourth-generation elder of Wuji Sect, Xiao Rongzu."
Minglang immediately invited Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin into a wooden house near the city wall.
"Please take a seat." Minglang warmly invited them to sit down and personally poured them two glasses of water.
"I don't have anything to offer. A glass of water is the gift from our Wuji Sect to entertain our distinguished friends." Minglang said as he poured a glass of water for Nangong Lin, Yu Yunxin and the others.
Nangong Lin took the cup and drank it all. He felt that the water was very sweet and tasted great. Yu Yunxin also passed the cup into her veil and drank it. Suddenly, she felt that the water was like a panacea that made her muscles and veins relax a lot.
"I didn't expect that Prince Yu and Princess Xingguo are really destined to be our Wuji Sect's people. Princess, the Sect Master even thanked you for saving our eldest lady last time. This bowl of water is a small gift." Minglang said.
"Protector Lang, then please thank your sect leader on my behalf." Yu Yunxin said politely.
"I don't deserve the title of Princess Xingguo!" Minglang replied.
"Okay, Protector Lang, this time I've brought a big gift to the people of Yongning County and other counties in Qizhou. Twenty carts of food." Nangong Lin immediately said as he looked at Yu Yunxin with bright and pure eyes that showed some respect.
Minglang was shocked when he heard this, "Oh my God! Prince Yu and the princess robbed the entire Bai Family Rice Shop in Qizhou City overnight. Were they your people?"
“I didn’t expect that Wujimen is so well-informed.” Nangong Lin praised.
"Of course I'm well-informed. After all, we in Wuji Sect have many disciples in Qizhou. It's just some gossip. And what we in Wuji Sect hate most are corrupt officials." Minglang said with a smile.
"Because our Wuji Sect has always been at odds with corrupt officials, they often suppress us. What's the problem? We have a lot of spies in Qizhou in our Wuji Sect. How can we know where Yueling Pavilion is? After all, they have arrested many of our female disciples." Bu Youming said.
"Oh! Elder Bu should know about the hatred between our Yanyu Manor and Yueling Pavilion. Please tell us." Yu Yunxin asked excitedly upon hearing the location of Yueling Pavilion.
"Yuelin Pavilion is the public enemy of the entire martial arts world. We will tell the princess the location of Yuelin Pavilion without her telling her." Bu Youming continued.
"Well, let's first discuss how to ensure that the people of Qizhou have enough food and clothing, and transport the Bai family's grain to various counties. After all, what so many oppressed people lack right now is food. Only by filling their stomachs can they unite to fight against corrupt officials." Minglang suggested.
So, everyone started to discuss. After a fierce discussion, they finally reached a consensus: Wujimen would be responsible for transporting the grain to various counties and send special personnel to protect it. At the same time, Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin would continue to stay in Yongning County. After all, they had an important matter to go to the county jail to find Eunuch Hu Man.
"The county jail currently holds not only the former Yongning County Magistrate's men, but also some other criminals. These criminals are now being guarded by our Wuji Sect. If you need to find someone, you can ask Elder Xiao to take you there." Minglang said. He then stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and left.
Xiao Zurong led Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin to the county jail.
"Many of the people imprisoned here have been wrongly accused. Although we have occupied the county town, we in the Wuji Sect are not rioters or mobs, so we dare not release these prisoners easily," Xiao Zurong explained.
"Elder Xiao, you did the right thing." Yu Yunxin had just finished speaking when she stepped into the prison and heard a lot of insults directed at the innermost cells in the prison.
"You dog county magistrate, our Hu family are all serious businessmen. Bai Jiayi, you didn't expect that you would be imprisoned here. How much of our Hu family's assets have you secretly stolen? Those were all earned by my aunt."
"I am the head of the Ma family, the dog county magistrate, the dog prefect. Every year, our Ma family pays you a lot of money as tribute. Do you still want to swallow up our Ma family?"
"Give me back my house and my land! You bunch of crooked officials, you will all die a miserable death!"
As soon as Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin entered the prison, the noisy environment suddenly became much quieter. People cast their eyes on them, with surprise and awe in their eyes. Obviously, they noticed the extraordinary temperament exuded by this handsome man and beautiful woman, and concluded that they must be high-ranking officials from the capital. So, everyone lay down beside the cage and shouted in unison: "My Lord, you are very observant! We are all wronged!"
However, facing such a chaotic situation, Nangong Lin seemed unusually calm. He frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness. Everyone felt his icy gaze, and they couldn't help but feel fear. They retreated back, not daring to get any closer.
At this time, Hu Man, who was imprisoned in the prison, recognized Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin at a glance. He originally wanted to call them His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Princess, but considering their special identities, he hesitated again. Just as he was hesitating, Elder Xiao suddenly appeared in front of him and walked straight into the cell where the magistrate of Yongning County was imprisoned.
Elder Xiao looked at Magistrate Ming expressionlessly and said calmly, "Ming Magistrate, you are the biological father of our Minglang Protector. Now that His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Princess Xingguo have come to the prison in person to look for him, I advise you to honestly explain all the crimes you and Prefect Bai have committed over the years."
"Perhaps His Royal Highness Prince Yu will spare your life because you have confessed the truth." Elder Xiao's words made County Magistrate Ming pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that he could not escape punishment and could only plead guilty.
Magistrate Ming, who was sitting in prison, heard the voice and looked up, and saw a man in gorgeous clothes walking towards him.
"Who are you? How dare you impersonate the prince?" County Magistrate Ming frowned and said to the man in front of him.
"How dare you, Magistrate Ming? You don't even kneel when you see His Royal Highness Prince Yu." Xiao Zurong on the side looked at Magistrate Ming and scolded him.
"Your Highness Prince Yu?" Magistrate Ming showed a hint of surprise on his face when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, you should know that this is the fiefdom of Prince Rui. Do you think Your Highness Prince Yu would offend his brother Prince Rui for a mere county magistrate like me?" County Magistrate Ming said with a sneer on his face as he looked at the man in front of him.
"Of course, I know that this is the fief of King Rui, but I came here this time on the orders of my father." Upon hearing this, Nangong Lin's face suddenly became gloomy. He quickly walked to the cage where Magistrate Ming was imprisoned, stared at Magistrate Ming with sharp eyes and said, "I came here today to find out the truth and give an explanation to the people of Qizhou City."
"Your Highness Prince Yu, the princess is here!" Hu Man shouted to the two of them when he heard that His Highness Prince Yu did not hide his identity.
When the people in the cell heard this, they all shouted, "Your Highness Prince Yu, we are all innocent. Please be more careful."
"Elder Xiao, please release Eunuch Hu first." Yu Yunxin heard Hu Man's cry for help and immediately said to Xiao Zurong. Her voice was clear and firm, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Xiao Zurong was shocked. He did not expect Yu Yunxin to be so decisive in demanding the release of Hu Man. He hesitated for a moment, but immediately ordered his men to release Hu Man from prison.
Hu Man finally regained his freedom. He looked at Yu Yunxin with tears in his eyes. Yu Yunxin nodded gently to comfort him.
At this time, Nangong Lin's eyes fell on Magistrate Ming, and he said in a deep voice: "Please also trouble Elder Xiao to release Magistrate Ming and some innocent people." His tone was firm and steady, revealing an irresistible force.
Xiao Zurong quickly agreed and had someone open the cell door where County Magistrate Ming and others were. The cell door had not yet been opened.
At this moment, a cold snort came from the cell next door. A handsome man in red official robes sneered, "Mingze, don't forget that Prefect Bai has the support of Prince Rui behind him! Prince Yu is just a fool abandoned by His Majesty. How dare you trust a fool?"
The man continued to taunt, "Also, don't forget that His Royal Highness Prince Rui has already arrived in Qizhou. Your son is the leader of the rebellion. When His Royal Highness Prince Rui finds out about this, the first person he'll kill will probably be you!"
When Yu Yunxin heard this, she couldn't help but feel angry. This person is really too much!
When Nangong Lin heard the man's harsh words, he immediately turned around and looked at the people in the cell. His eyes were as cold as a knife, as if they could penetrate a person's soul.
Bai Jiayi sat on the ground in a gorgeous dress with messy hair and no jewelry, obviously she had been robbed. She also cursed Nangong Lin and the man was in prison.
"Pan Liu, if you say another word, I will kill you, believe it or not." After hearing Liu Tongpan's words, Xiao Zurong said angrily, "You little white face, you just married the eldest daughter of the Bai family who betrayed her husband's family. What are you so proud of?" After Xiao Zurong finished speaking, he made a killing gesture towards Liu Tongpan, and scared Liu Tongpan so much that he hid behind Bai Jiayi.
Bai Jiayi took a few steps back and trembled when she saw Xiao Zurong's murderous eyes. She had never seen such a fierce look before, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
When Yu Yunxin heard Bai Jiayi's words, she looked at the woman. She was secretly surprised that she had remarried this pretty boy Liu Tongpan. However, she did not look at the other people in the cell, but turned to look at Xiao Zurong.
