www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Not even half past time, the scorching sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight was burning the earth below like a fire.

In the Luoyue City camp, the soldiers still wore heavy armor and performed their duties in the rolling heat wave, guarding, sentrying, training, cleaning... in an orderly manner.

In the middle military camp, there are several basins of ice cubes placed in the tent, which is much cooler than outside.

The king of Zhennan sat behind the desk with a golden sword, frowning at the person kneeling in front of him.

"Your Majesty, there are unscrupulous people gathering in the horse market to cause trouble! Lord Niu and the others are trapped in them. I hope the prince will quickly give orders to quell the civil unrest!" Niu Xinglong's follower Li Chang never mentioned the matter of thousand-mile horses, competitions and bad horses, and only bitten Death said there was a mob causing trouble.

As he told the story, the face of King Zhennan became more and more ugly. Luo Yuecheng was the place where King Zhennan was sitting, and there were still mobs who dared to make trouble here. It was clear that they did not take him seriously!

The King of Zhennan raised his voice and summoned the soldiers: "Come here, tell me General Tang!" They were just unscrupulous people, but as long as he asked Tang Qinghong to send a thousand soldiers, not all of them would be captured and brought to justice!

"Yes!" The soldier hurriedly took the order and left.

Li Chang bowed his head and knelt on the ground respectfully, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: As long as the prince is willing to send troops, that will not be a problem!

After a while, someone came into the tent. King Zhennan thought it was Tang Qinghong who came, but what he didn't expect was a middle-aged scribe in blue with an elegant face, his counselor He Hao.

He Hao walked into the tent casually, bowed in salute and said, "I see you, Your Majesty!"

The King of Zhennan was very polite to He Hao. He raised his hand with a smile and said: "Sir, no courtesy! Why are you here suddenly?"

He Hao glanced indifferently at Li Chang who was kneeling on the ground. King Zhennan knew that He Hao had something important to say, so he waved people to leave first.

After the King of Zhennan gave He Hao a seat, He Hao said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates just heard that there is civil unrest over there in Ma Market..."

"Sir, you are indeed well-informed. You heard about it so quickly." King Zhennan was stunned for a moment, then looked surprised.

He Hao said worriedly: "Your Majesty, my subordinates are worried that if this matter is not handled carefully, it will cause great trouble for the Prince."

It's just a civil commotion... Zhennan Wang Meifeng moved and felt that He Hao was making a fuss this time.

He Hao stood up, bowed again, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, now in southern Xinjiang, first the Wuyin people are disturbing the people, making refugees everywhere, and then Nanliang is coming. The southeastern border is in danger. If at this time, another mob attack There is chaos in southern Xinjiang. Isn’t it true that there are constant internal and external troubles in southern Xinjiang? By then, these things will reach the ears of the emperor... The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, Your Majesty!"

When the King of Zhennan heard this, his expression became more solemn.

What He Hao said is not unreasonable. After the last Baiyue Rebellion, the emperor was already very dissatisfied. If there was another trouble, there might be more excuses to seize his title. He has been guarding southern Xinjiang for so many years, but he cannot make wedding clothes for others!

The King of Zhennan pondered for a moment and asked cautiously: "How do you think this matter should be handled, sir?"

He Hao said with emotion: "Your Majesty, in view of my subordinates, it would be better for you, Your Majesty, to personally lead the troops to appease the people." He emphasized the pronunciation of the word "fu", which means that the king of Zhennan is here. The purpose is to comfort, not to suppress.

Seeing that the King of Zhennan was a little moved, He Hao continued: "Your Majesty, how can ordinary people dare to attack the Southern Xinjiang Army against you, Your Majesty? Someone in the horse market must be causing trouble and deliberately provoking public anger. This It caused the turmoil. When Your Majesty goes to bring the culprit to justice, and then pacifies the people, the people will be grateful in their hearts. I feel that Your Majesty treats the people like your own children, and spreads this matter widely. Isn't that right? What a beautiful story! Nowadays, the only way to do great good is to turn conflicts into friendship."

He Hao's words were so sincere that King Zhennan felt the same.

Since the battle with Baiyue the year before last, as the traitor bucked the trend, his popularity among the people in southern Xinjiang has gradually weakened. If he can win over the people through this incident, it will be an unexpected gain!

So, he needs to make a trip.

Thinking of this, King Zhennan slapped the case decisively and said: "Okay, then I will lead two thousand sergeants to go to the horse market in person!"

He Hao breathed a sigh of relief, finally living up to his trust.

When Tang Qinghong arrived, what he heard was the words of King Zhennan, and Li Chang didn't know what was going on. Why did King Zhennan suddenly change his mind and lead the troops himself? ! He didn't know whether the result was good or bad, but he was not qualified to stop it.

The King of Zhennan led two thousand cavalry to the horse market quickly. For a moment, the hoofs of the horses were flying. Wherever these cavalry passed, there was a rumble, as if the earth was shaking, and a cloud of dust was raised... …

Before arriving at the horse market, I saw a group of angry people driving hundreds of horses from a distance.

Those people were only a few hundred people, including men and women, old and young. They did not look like a mob that wanted to rebel, but they all had angry faces, as if they were filled with great indignation and hatred. .

The King of Zhennan slowed down his horse and raised his right arm to signal the accompanying sergeants to also slow down.

Li Chang quickly rode his horse to the side of King Zhennan, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, those people are a mob. Please save Lord Niu!"

A few dozen feet away, the people who had just walked out of the horse market certainly saw a group of cavalry brought by King Zhennan. A red military flag was flying high with a big "Xiao" embroidered on it. Everyone in Xinjiang knows that that is the military flag of King Zhennan!

Could it be that King Zhennan is here! Many people in the crowd looked at each other. Although they planned to go to Zhennan King to express their feelings and ask him to make the decision, at this moment, when they saw the army at first glance, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Niu Xinglong was in a state of embarrassment, with his hands tied behind his back. When he saw that his subordinates had brought in reinforcements, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart and said: "I advise you to let go of me and surrender quickly. Maybe the prince will still do it." Spare your life..."

It's okay that he didn't speak, but when he spoke, the raging anger in everyone's hearts was aroused a little more.

"Guan Guan, shut up!" A young man in Tsing Yi angrily interrupted Niu Xinglong, waving his fist and shouting, "Everyone, let's go! Let's go ask the prince for an explanation! If we let the traitor take advantage of the bad horse, To send them to the battlefield is not to let those soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army die alive, but it is not my brothers and sisters in Southern Xinjiang who are harmed!"

Every sentence comes from the heart, and the people's blood boils with enthusiasm and they echo:

"That's right!"

"Your Majesty has arrived just in time, let's go to him to express our feelings!"

"..."

The people were furious and strode towards the King of Zhennan. When the distance between the two sides was only four to five feet, Tang Qinghong rode forward and said sternly: "You are so bold and unruly. You dare to gather people to make trouble. You are so bold to dare to use violence against Young Inspector Niu! Why don't you let me, the general, capture you without mercy!"

Niu Xinglong shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, General Tang, please save the official and punish these unruly people on the spot!"

The King of Zhennan in the rear frowned and glanced at Niu Xinglong, feeling unhappy.

This time I am here to appease the people! If Niu Xinglong said this, wouldn't those people think that he, the King of Zhennan, was cruel and unkind!

The King of Zhennan told Chang Sui a few words. Chang Sui hurriedly went to Tang Qinghong’s side to convey a message. Tang Qinghong nodded repeatedly, and then his tone softened a lot: "Your Majesty is kind, as long as you release Young Supervisor Niu quickly and hand over today's culprit. , Your Majesty promised to be given a lighter sentence!"

Everyone was aggrieved. What happened today was not their fault at all. How could we blame them?

The young man in Tsing Yi took a step forward, clasped his fists and said righteously: "Your Majesty, and this general, it's not the ordinary people who are deliberately causing trouble. It's really the young supervisor who has gone too far to bully others. He actually used a bad horse as a good horse to enrich his own pockets. , Seeing that this bad horse will be sent to the battlefield tomorrow, the common people and others, although they are just commoners, are also concerned about the safety of our southern border!"

This young man obviously had studied in school, and his words were clear and coherent. Niu Xinglong was sweating profusely. Before King Zhennan could speak, he shouted: "Nonsense! You are such a slanderer! My lord, The official was wronged..."

"Your Majesty, the horse warden has picked all the horses there. You will know if he has been wronged or not." An old man said with sorrow, "Your Majesty, the two sons of the grassroots died on the battlefield the year before last. They died for the people of southern Xinjiang, and they deserved their death. But, if they died because of waiting for a dog official to take bribes, then they would have died unjustly! Your Majesty!"

This remark made everyone feel the same. They also had relatives and friends who died on the battlefield or went out with the army this time. On the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable. If you really die under the enemy's sword, you will die fighting for Southern Xinjiang. But now, someone is stabbing you in the back!

"Your Majesty!" Another young man shouted indignantly, "Young Master Niu is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and should be killed!"

"Deserve to be killed!"

"Deserve to be killed!"

The sounds of "should be killed" were heard in his ears, and Niu Xinglong was trembling with fear. He secretly hated Li Chang for being too clever and actually attracted the prince. Niu Xinglong had planned well. After asking the prince for help, the prince would definitely send troops to support him. In this way, he could easily bring these mobsters to justice, and he could also hide the fact that he had enriched his own pockets from the outside world. I fell asleep, but I didn’t expect...

There are only hundreds of mobs, so there is no need for the prince to take action personally! It's all Li Chang's fault for not getting things done!

Niu Xinglong shouted with force and calmness: "My lord, please don't listen to the nonsense of these mobs! I am following your order to select horses. Those racecourse owners did not pick their own horses, so they They will cause trouble, they..."

Before he finished speaking, someone picked up a wooden stick and hit him **** the back. It was a young woman. The stick was not strong but full of hatred. The woman said with tears streaming down her face, "It was because of such a dog official that all nineteen members of my family would have died under the swords of the Baiyue people. Even my three-year-old nephew was chopped to pieces. .......My lord, please make the decision for the common people!"

Zhennan Wang frowned, and he was also shocked by the words "Deserves to be killed".

He thought it was just a mob causing trouble, but he didn't expect there was a hidden agenda...

Does this Niu Xinglong really dare to embezzle even military expenditures? !

Thinking of this, King Zhennan raised his right hand to signal them to be silent, and said: "I already know what you have requested. I will investigate this matter in detail. If what you said is true, I will definitely Severe punishment is required to correct military discipline..."

At this moment, a majestic female voice suddenly sounded: "I bear witness that everything they said is true!"

Not everyone can use the title "this palace". Only the empress, prince and princess in the palace can call themselves this.

For a while, all eyes followed the sound, and the surroundings became silent.

Yong Yang walked out of the crowd, with Nangong Yue, Fu Yunyan and Xiao Fei following closely beside her.

The King of Zhennan couldn't help but blurt out: "Your Highness..."

At this moment, Niu Xinglong's face was as pale as the bottom of a pot. Ordinary people may not know it, but he knew that the only woman in Luoyue City who could claim to be my own is today's aunt - Yong Yang The eldest princess.

This His Highness is not ordinary... No wonder he has a yellow gelding!

On the one hand, Niu Xinglong suddenly realized it, but on the other hand, he was extremely desperate in his heart.

With the testimony of Princess Yongyang and her granddaughter, I am afraid it will be impossible for me to stand up today! ……etc! He thought of something again and looked towards Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei. His eyes paused on Xiao Fei first, and then he realized that Xiao Fei looked familiar, and she looked a bit like his niece, the King of Zhennan. The stepmother Xiao Fang?

So, it is self-evident who this smiling fox-like woman next to Xiao Fei is!

The Crown Princess of Zhennan!

This name is really not unfamiliar to him at all. The Crown Princess dared to confront his niece who was still a princess at the time just after she came in. Not only did she take away Liuhe Village, but she also openly sold his nephew into the From the Bitter Cave, no one has been found back to this day.

Now it's my turn!

Looking back at Nangong Yue's words and deeds since the two met, it was clear that he was deliberately provoking himself, but he was stupid enough to fall into the other party's trap.

Thinking of this, Niu Xinglong had an even more terrifying thought: Could it be that the crown prince’s concubine would even have people riot and the prince’s visit in person? !

Niu Xinglong's feet softened and he knelt heavily on the uneven ground, almost collapsing.

Nangong Yue glanced at Niu Xinglong indifferently, and then stepped forward to salute the King of Zhennan together with Xiao Fei and Fu Yunyan:

"I have met my father (Prince)!"

As for the ordinary people around, they were still in the dark. They didn’t know what was going on. They only vaguely felt that the old woman who had won a thousand-mile horse obviously had an extraordinary origin. In the playbook, she was called "Your Highness." "Yes, aren't they all noble people? ! What's more, he is still someone who can make the Zhennan capital look respectful!

And this little lady and the girl in blue beside her actually called King Zhennan their father! Isn't that the Crown Princess and the girls from the palace? !

At this time, a man in his thirties and wearing a brown brocade robe squeezed out from the crowd, pointed at Yong Yang excitedly and said: "I know! No wonder, Madam, you are so good at sizing horses. It turns out you are Her Royal Highness Princess Yongyang! Let me just say, with my ability, who else can surpass me!" The man said with a hint of complacency.

The person who came was none other than Mr. Ning. With a few words, he suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Her Royal Highness Princess Yongyang! your Highness!

These words echoed repeatedly in the minds of these people. I don’t know who was the first to kneel down and kneel on the ground. Following that, the people next to that person also knelt down one after another. It's like a stone dropped into a lake, causing ripples to spread out in circles...

Their faces humbly fell to the ground, but the corners of their mouths could not suppress the joy. This young prisoner looked down on others and bullied Her Royal Highness. This time, he was definitely in trouble! As Her Royal Highness the Princess testifies, such a worm who enriches his own pockets will definitely be punished as he deserves!

The people are all excited, and they have a sense of fate in their hearts: Heaven is reincarnating, people are doing it, and God is watching!

It seems that their fate in southern Xinjiang should not be cut off!

Later, out of the hundreds of people present, only Yongyang and his party and Mr. Ning were left standing there, looking extremely awkward.

The King of Zhennan was confused. He jumped off his horse neatly, bowed to Yongyang and said, "Your Highness, why are you here? What is going on?" As he said that, he looked towards Nangong Yue. The three of them glanced around.

Yongyang said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, today I, Liu Niang, Yue'er, and Sister Fei came to the horse market to pick horses. Unexpectedly, I bumped into this Young Inspector Niu who was here to buy war horses..." Yong Yang said in a calm tone. Yang Jianming clearly told what happened exactly.

The King of Zhennan believed 70% of the people's petitions. At this time, after Princess Yongyang said this, he became even more convinced.

No wonder people are so angry.

No wonder they cried blood every word they said.

No wonder they rioted...

Niu Xinglong really deserves to be killed!

With unconcealed anger in his eyes, he looked at Niu Xinglong, and the thunder was furious: "Niu Xinglong, you are so brave! I trust you, so I entrust you with such an important matter. No Thinking of you actually sending a bad horse to the battlefield for your own selfish interests, putting our soldiers in the Southern Xinjiang Army in danger, and ignoring the safety of our Southern Xinjiang! Do you know that this crime deserves to be punished!"

Niu Xinglong was so frightened that his heart went cold. He knocked his forehead on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! My subordinates were also deceived by Boss Wu! Please, Your Majesty, treat me lightly for the sake of my wife!"

Boss Wu also kowtowed desperately, trembling all over, "Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, have mercy on me! The horses of the common people are not bad horses!" It's just that they can't be called horses...

It was fine if Niu Xinglong didn’t mention Xiao Fang. At this time, the more he mentioned Xiao Fang, the more unhappy King Zhennan became. It was also because Niu Xinglong was Xiao Fang’s uncle that he arranged for him to go to Ma The prisoner became a young prisoner and entrusted him with such an important task of purchasing war horses, but how did he repay his trust?

First it was the scandals involving brothers Fang Chengling and Fang Chengxun, and now it’s Niu Xinglong. These relatives of the little Fang family are really the same as each other. He, the King of Zhennan, has lost all his face!

Thinking of this, King Zhennan looked extremely ugly and ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, put these two people in prison..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Yue said respectfully: "Father, my daughter-in-law, please punish this person severely."

King Zhennan frowned and saw Nangong Yue quickly glance at Yongyang. He suddenly realized that the Crown Princess was deliberately reminding him! Also, the eldest princess Yongyang saw what happened today. If it were not punished clearly, I am afraid that the corruption of military expenditures by officials in southern Xinjiang would have made trouble in the royal capital and in front of the emperor!

This is all caused by Xiao Fang... The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he wished he could drive Xiao Fang back to Mingqing Temple.

"Come here." King Zhennan could only vent all his anger on Niu Xinglong at this moment, and said in a hateful voice, "This person has embezzled military funds. The evidence of his crime is conclusive. He has ordered thirty military sticks and will be executed on the spot. Later, he was taken to the Huiling City Army and dealt with according to military law to rectify the morale of the army."

Niu Xinglong's face was pale. Before he could react, two soldiers immediately came forward, took him from the hands of the people at the racecourse, and held him down on his knees.

"My lord, spare my life..."

Before the voice fell, a military stick as thick as an arm was suddenly swung at his back.

Bang!

"Ah——"

Niu Xinglong let out a scream that hurt his heart, and then came the second and third blows...

The sound of sticks hitting the flesh could be heard intermittently, along with the screams of Niu Xinglong, which only made the people around him feel happy.

I don’t know who said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Highness is wise!" Others echoed one after another.

The face of King Zhennan softened a little. Fortunately, he heard what He Hao said today and came here in person, otherwise his great reputation would have been destroyed by Niu Xinglong. He quietly took another look at Yongyang's face, and saw a look of satisfaction on her face. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but think to himself: The Crown Princess is indeed very sensible, and she even knows how to remind him secretly, otherwise she will annoy Yongyang today. The eldest princess.

After all the thirty army sticks were hit, Niu Xinglong collapsed to the ground like mud. Although Boss Wu on the side was not hit by the army stick, he was so frightened that his whole body felt bad, and his body was even more injured. A pool of water stains exuded a fishy smell.

Tang Qinghong, who caught the eye of the King of Zhennan, ordered the soldiers to drag down Niu Xinglong and Boss Wu. Even the two hundred horses from Wu's horse farm were taken away as evidence in the case.

The people were also driven back to the horse market by the soldiers. They felt that today was a turn of events. What happened on this day was enough for them to talk about for the rest of their lives! Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Prince, the Crown Princess... these are all the most noble people in Southern Xinjiang!

The area finally became quiet. Nangong Yue took half a step forward, faced the King of Zhennan, and asked with a puzzled expression, "My daughter-in-law just heard that Mr. Niu kept mentioning 'Madam', for fear of damaging Madam's reputation." It's in the way..." She hesitated, "I wonder if this Young Inspector Niu is..."

The face of King Zhennan was a little stiff, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his tone as he said: "Niu Xinglong is the brother of your mother's biological aunt Niu."

Nangong Yue showed a hint of surprise on her face, then raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had thought of something, and said: "Father, my daughter-in-law vaguely remembers that when my mother took charge of the property left by her grandfather, she handed it over to a person with the last name. The steward of the cattle is here to take care of it, I wonder if it is this person?"

Manager Niu... King Zhennan frowned slightly, thoughtfully: The surname "Niu" is not common even if it is said to be common...

If it were really him, Niu Xinglong would even dare to corrupt military expenditures. How could he really take care of the properties left by his father?

Reminiscent of the last time when Xiao Fang was asked to return the property and income to Xiao Yi, Xiao Fang seemed to have said that the income over the years was only a few thousand taels of silver...

Could it be that this cow is also responsible for Xinglong...

Xiao Fang, how many things is she hiding from herself? !

The seeds of doubt have long taken root and sprouted in the heart of King Zhennan. At this moment, they are growing like vines. He can't wait to go back and question Xiao Fang immediately.

But now, he could only restrain himself and said casually: "I will ask your mother about this when I get back."

Nangong Yue had been paying attention to King Zhennan’s expression and accepted it as soon as he saw it, without asking any more questions.

The King of Zhennan then said politely that Yongyang was frightened today, and then he ordered people to **** everyone back home.

On the way back home, Yong Yang looked at Nangong Yue with a smile on his face and said, "Yue'er, you are very good."

Yongyang didn't plan on Nangong Yue's plan at first, but as he watched the situation develop gradually, he suddenly realized it.

Yueer is really well-intentioned, and with step-by-step planning, she can easily resolve this military-horse corruption incident that even embarrassed herself. Yongyang originally planned to lower his face and go see King Zhennan as a last resort, but in this case, his intervention in southern Xinjiang's military affairs would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

Unexpectedly, Yue'er could find another way.

This is very good. Not only can it solve the problem of bad horses this time, but it can also make the King of Zhennan face up to the problems in the army. He will definitely be more cautious when purchasing military horses in the future.

After receiving Yongyang's praise, Nangong Yue smiled shyly.

Fu Yunyan and Xiao Fei were confused, especially Xiao Fei. It was not until just now that she knew that Mr. Niu, the horse supervisor, had such a relationship with her mother, and had even taken care of her grandfather's property for her mother. The property given to her eldest brother... Thinking of this, she felt bitter in her heart.
