Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

"Report, 211 people have been wiped out."

"Report, Su Mingjin was not found."

In fact, Ning Zhiwei had expected this a long time ago, "Interrogate the Mountain Beard's staff."

After being awakened by the cold water, the Shanhu staff was quite tough at first, saying that they would be loyal to the royal family of the previous dynasty. They also persuaded Ning Zhiwei to abandon darkness and join the light, and assist Su Mingjin in achieving great things.

After being whipped a few times by Ning Zhiwei, he became obedient, and after being tortured, he confessed everything.

Su Mingjin personally led people to explore the mines and they are currently staying in the deep mountains and forests. As for Baiyun County, it had fallen into their hands a week ago.

Ning Zhiwei threw the paper and pen in front of him and looked at him calmly, "Hand over your troop strength distribution map."

The mountain-bearded aide felt so oppressed that he dared not say a word. He dragged his injured leg to sit up, picked up the paper and started writing seriously.

After he finished writing, he handed it to the guard tremblingly. The guard handed it to Ning Zhiwei with both hands. Ning Zhiwei glanced at it and smiled coldly, "You are still not honest."

The mountain-bearded staff member felt nervous and said, "I wrote down everything I know."

Ning Zhiwei circled them with a pen, "These locations are not key points in the city, it is impossible to station so many people there."

"You only sent a small team to the granary, and you took away all the food. Tell me, where did you take it to?"

This drawing is a mixture of true and false, real and fake. If they believe it, they will be finished.

The Mountain Beard staff looked at the woman in front of them with horror. She could actually tell the truth of the matter at a glance and deduce the truth. This ability to see the big picture from the details was too terrifying.

"who are you?"

"Ning Zhiwei."

The Shanhu staff took a deep breath and finally understood what their lord said. There was only one person in the world who could be his opponent, and that was Ning Zhiwei.

He thought that his lord was out of his mind. How could a mere woman be worthy of being his opponent?

However, his underestimation of the enemy brought him a bloody lesson.

Such an extremely intelligent woman was destined to become a nightmare for the remnants of the previous dynasty.

"Beat him until he behaves."

In the end, the Shanhu staff confessed everything and did not dare to hide anything.

Ning Zhiwei confirmed it again and again before ordering, "Chunsheng."

"exist."

Ning Zhiwei gave the order, "Take people to guard the city gate and strictly check the people who come in and out every day."

"Yes." Chunsheng took the order and left.

Ning Zhiwei continued to give orders, "Xia Sheng, Qiu Sheng, the two of you pick out each stronghold according to this map, leaving no one behind."

"Yes."

Ning Zhiwei issued instructions one after another, "Dongsheng, come with me to Qingzhu Villa."

"Yes."

Ning Zhiwei looked at the girl next to him and said, "Peony, you stay at the county government office and take charge of all matters there temporarily."

Shaoyao was a little anxious. She had never done this kind of work before. "Then what if someone files a lawsuit?"

Ning Zhiwei felt that there were not enough people, and there were too few experienced people who could handle the situation on their own. "Delay until Zhou Hongye and the elder sister arrive. Everything should be done as before. Try not to alarm the people in the city."

"Yes."

After arranging everything, Ning Zhiwei led Dongsheng and his party out of the city.

Baiyun County is sparsely populated, with a vast area, arid climate, and spring sandstorms, making it quite desolate.

After walking for thirty miles, we saw a large fenced grassland. "This is the Qingzhu Grassland."

Ning Zhiwei's heart moved, "Dongsheng, you command this battle, and I will hold the fort."

Ning Zhiwei suffered from the fact that he had no independent subordinates and no young generals who could lead the army on their own.

Dongsheng and his classmates all have their own characteristics and their personal qualities are also top-notch. She has spent a lot of time and effort to cultivate them, but this is not something that can be achieved overnight.

We have to give them opportunities to gain experience.

Dongsheng was greatly encouraged, "Yes."

He rushed out with a group of people. After an unknown amount of time, there was movement on the Qingzhu Grassland. There were loud shouts and cries of fighting, and the two sides started fighting.

The door opened, and Dong Sheng ran out in a dishevel, kneeling in front of Ning Zhiwei, "My lord, I have fulfilled my mission and captured the Qingzhu Grassland."

It was his first time to lead a team independently, and he made a mistake due to his lack of experience. He was discovered as soon as he entered. Fortunately, their fighting ability was stronger.

Ning Zhiwei glanced at him and said, "Okay, those who participate in the action will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and Dongsheng will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver."

"Thank you, Lord."

Qingzhu Pasture is the villa of the Baiyun County Magistrate. It covers a large area of ​​more than ten mu of land, with hot springs and streams, and many cattle, horses and sheep are raised on the green grass.

Now it has fallen into the hands of the remnants of the previous dynasty and has become a place where many officials are imprisoned.

"My Lord, there is a man who claims to be the Baiyun County Magistrate who wants to see you."

Ning Zhiwei raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's go and take a look."

In the hall, a group of men and women were tied up and thrown on the ground, looking very miserable.

As soon as Ning Zhiwei came in, everyone looked over. A middle-aged man in official uniform said, "I am Chen Shihao, the magistrate of Baiyun County. What is your name, warrior?"

Dongsheng brought a chair and Ning Zhiwei sat down calmly, "What's the matter?"

She did not suppress her voice, but used her original voice, which was crisp and pleasant to the ear.

Chen Shihao was stunned. It turned out to be a girl dressed as a man. Who was she?

However, girls are more soft-hearted.

Next to him was a beautiful woman, holding a little boy in her arms. The little boy suddenly shouted arrogantly, "Aren't you here to save us? Quickly untie us. Why are you standing there? Quickly."

The guard whipped him and said, "Behave yourself."

The little boy immediately burst into tears and made a fuss, and the woman also cried and screamed, but Ning Zhiwei remained unmoved and looked at them coldly.

The guards seemed not to hear it and kept whipping him, even Chen Shihao was hit and was covered in blood.

Chen Shihao was very angry. "Stop it. I am an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare you beat an official appointed by the imperial court at will? Are you trying to rebel?"

Ning Zhiwei asked calmly, "As an official appointed by the imperial court, why didn't you commit suicide to preserve your reputation when you fell into the hands of the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

Chen Shihao's eyes swirled. "I... the remnant of the previous dynasty said that as long as I didn't commit suicide, he would release all the people in the city. I am the parent official of Baiyun County. It is my responsibility to protect the people, even if I have to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens."

Ning Zhiwei looked down at him, not believing a word he said, "What secrets did you reveal to the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

Chen Shihao's face turned pale when he heard that. "I didn't. I didn't say anything, so I was locked up here."

Suddenly, a sharp female voice sounded, "Liar, he betrayed the soldiers of Baiyun County and caused the tragic deaths of countless soldiers."

Chen Shihao was furious and glared at her fiercely, "Evil girl, shut up."

Ning Zhiwei looked over and saw a skinny girl with wounds all over her body. "What's your name?"

The girl's eyes lit up surprisingly, "Chen Yindi."

At this time, they didn't know that this was the beginning of an era.

This was the first meeting between the future empress and the first female prime minister of the founding dynasty, a scene that countless future generations longed for.
