The news that an assassin in Linzhou, Qingtian Bairi, assassinated the general at the city gate is also spreading in all directions.
There was some commotion outside the city gate of Jiangling Mansion, with soldiers and horses running around, making the people a little uneasy.
At the beginning of spring, there was a dispute between wealthy families and the people in the three counties of Jiangling Prefecture over grain.
Because they are all the people, the county government and Xini ignored the despair of the people in troubled times. Anyway, they had no way to survive, so they dared to do things they had never done before. They picked up shovels and forks, and the wealthy families also
Because more guards were raised and equipped with weapons during the troubled times, armed fighting broke out in an instant and spread quickly, causing many casualties and shaking Jiangling Mansion and the entire Jiangnan Road.
Li Minghua mobilized troops and horses, and several generals of the Guards were also there. He asked what would happen if both sides did not stop? Li Minghua said that they would kill them.
In order to show the people that this was not an act of violence by soldiers, but an order from her, she personally came to these three counties and shouted to stop it. When the shouting did not stop, she personally gave the order to take action, and the rebels regarded them as traitors and killed them without mercy.
The iron hoofs, swords and guns charged in mercilessly, leaving corpses on the ground, and finally frightened both sides of the melee.
Although the civil strife was stopped, the matter did not end there. Li Minghua did not tell Mrs. Chu about the incident, but soon she received a letter from Mrs. Chu. The letter asked her if she was afraid of killing someone and was worried about her.
He also sent her a few pieces of dried flowers with the letter, saying that they were dried by Mrs. Chu herself, and asked her to put them next to her pillow so that she would not have nightmares when she slept at night.
Although some time has passed, Li Minghua still couldn't help but reach out and press his hand to his heart when he thought of this letter, feeling his heart pounding.
She cares about her so much, and she keeps looking at her.
In addition to concern, the letter also contained suggestions. This matter could not stop the fighting, but there must be rewards and punishments to truly solve the problem and appease people's hearts.
Rewards and punishments only ask about right and wrong, not status.
The noble families should be punished for their mistakes, and the common people in the fields should also be punished for their mistakes.
Li Minghua followed this suggestion and released the soldiers and horses he had collected again, but this time the government came forward to strictly investigate, arrest and convict people in the three counties. After a group of people were killed by the soldiers and horses, another group of people were convicted, and another group of people were convicted.
They belong to aristocratic families, common people, and refugees.
Everyone in the Jiangling Mansion was nervous for a long time, but now that the government has convicted him, there are still laws, rules, and principles in this world, and everyone feels at ease.
However, it still had an impact. Seeing a group of soldiers and horses coming out surrounded by Li Minghua, the people suddenly became nervous. What happened again? Is the young lady of the Li family going to kill someone again?
The people of Jiangling Prefecture's attitude towards Miss Li changed from affectionate and affectionate to awe and wariness. People with soldiers and horses always make people fearful, whether they are men or women.
Another group of people came out, led by Magistrate Hu. Seeing Magistrate Hu, the people relaxed a little. If the government intervenes, they will not kill casually...
"Miss Minghua, do you really not need me to come?" Magistrate Hu asked, looking uneasy, "After all, he is holding the name card of Mrs. Chu."
Mrs. Chu's imperial decree was a rank higher than theirs. As the prefect of Jiangling Prefecture, he should have received her in person, otherwise it would be disrespectful.
Li Minghua shook his head: "No, after all, it's not Mrs. Chu who's here, and it's not a business matter. He just said he was passing by to stay overnight. This is a private matter. I also have private dealings with Mrs. Chu, so I'll be the one to receive her."
"That's fine." Magistrate Hu finally relieved himself of this heavy burden and looked at the road outside the city. Thinking of the person who was about to arrive, he still frowned, "This person is the same. Hand me your name card.
It’s not like we don’t know why we just casually took out Mrs. Chu’s name card and sent it everywhere..."
He glanced at Li Minghua, but did not say what he could say to his subordinates. After all, Li Minghua was an unmarried girl.
The unmarried girl Li Minghua didn't know anything. The man she was about to receive was a handsome man that Mrs. Chu liked.
I liked it so much that I gave it to a troop of soldiers.
In today's world, expressing friendship is not about giving gold, silver and jewelry, but giving soldiers and horses.
Entertaining the lover of a close friend of hers is something Li Minghua has never imagined in her seventeen years of life. However, taking troops and horses, leaving her family and joining the rebels is something she has never imagined in her seventeen years of life.
thing?
Don’t think about whether it’s right for Mrs. Chu Guo to be a married woman and have a lover, and don’t think about whether Lian Xiaojun’s behavior is right, let alone whether she should give advice for the sake of Mrs. Chu Guo’s benefit...
Although she was being entertained in a private capacity, she had no real personal relationship with Mrs. Chu. She was not her sister, let alone her husband... It must be remembered that Mrs. Chu was the master of a dynasty.
As long as you see the things she has done as the leader of the alliance to benefit the country and love the people, it will be enough.
"People are coming." The soldier said, pointing forward.
Li Minghua and Magistrate Hu looked forward and saw a group of people and horses roaring on the road. The soldiers and horses in front were majestic. Colorful flags were waving in the queue. Among the colorful flags was a gorgeous carriage. Behind the carriage were a long entourage of carriages and horses.
Bronze bells are embellished, and wind bells are hung on the roof of the car, tinkling like fairy music coming from the clouds...
He hasn't seen anyone yet, but his grace has already stunned the people on the road.
Magistrate Hu was red-faced and at a loss as to what to do... More than just casually handed over Mrs. Chu's name card, the Chu-character flag Zhenwu Army flag was flying fiercely.
Those who didn’t know thought that Mrs. Chu or Governor Wu was traveling.
"Then, I'll go back first." He said to Li Minghua, wanting to run away immediately, but he didn't worry about asking, "Where do you want him to live? The official post office? I'll make people avoid it... No.
, I’ll let someone clean it up right now.”
Li Minghua said: "I'll ask him first. Sir, you go and do your work first."
It was supposed to be a casual affair, so why did you ask him? Magistrate Hu wanted to be reasonable, but seeing Lian Xiaojun's carriage getting closer and closer, it was too late if he didn't leave, so he had to run away in a hurry.
Magistrate Hu returned to the government office and paced back and forth. Not long after, he heard the news that Li Minghua and Lian Xiaojun had moved into the Li family mansion.
"Oops." Magistrate Hu reached out and slapped his forehead, "What, how do you say this!"
The person who came to report the news was still immersed in Lian Xiaojun's grace, and said excitedly: "Master Lian said that he had heard about Governor Li's name for a long time, so he passed here specially because he wanted to see where Governor Li was born and raised.
place."
Having said that, how could a little girl like Li Minghua refuse? Magistrate Hu was a little annoyed. He really shouldn't be afraid of trouble, he should just wait and drag Lian Xiaojun to the government office...
After all, Li Minghua is a little girl, and Lian Xiaojun is the one who charmed the Lady of Chu!
But if we try to pull him out now, we will not give Mrs. Chu any face...
Magistrate Hu struggled day and night, and when he was about to continue struggling the next day, Lian Xiaojun left.
It turned out that I only borrowed it for one night.
"And I didn't sleep all night. I sat outside the courtyard where Li Fengan lived, playing the piano and drinking tea all night." The follower looked intoxicated, "He is really like an immortal."
Many people heard the sound of the piano outside Li's house and were so moved that they couldn't move their feet.
After playing the piano all night, there were still so many people listening, so my reputation was intact, and Magistrate Hu breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Minghua did not see Lian Xiaojun off. After he left, he also came to Li Fengan's old residence, looking dazed until a willow branch swayed and hit her on the head, once, twice, three times...
The willows will not move in the absence of wind! Li Minghua came back to his senses and looked up, and saw a person squatting among the willow branches and leaves on the willow tree. His expression was suddenly surprised: "You..."
"Are you fascinated by that guy's music? Or by his appearance?" Xiang Qiu asked, without Li Minghua answering, he squatted on the tree and touched his face, "Qin is just like that. As for his face, you don't care."
You've seen me, how could you be obsessed with him?"
Li Minghua frowned and said: "Don't talk nonsense, why are you back? Where have you been?"
Xiang Qiubeard jumped down from the tree: "I said I was good-looking, why is it nonsense? I...hiss"
Before he jumped down and continued his reasoning, he took a deep breath and tilted his body slightly. He soon regained his composure and stood up straight, but Li Minghua still discovered it.
"Are you injured?" she asked, reaching out to pull Qiu Xi's clothes, "Where are you injured?"
He waved her away towards Qiu Beard: "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Li Minghua was pushed away but did not come forward again. Since he didn't say anything, she ignored it and asked another question: "Who hurt you?"
"It's that man." Xiang Qiubeard was also annoyed when he talked about this. "I picked a flower from him and he still hasn't let me go!"
Li Minghua remembered that incident, and he was still chasing him: "It shows that people really cherish their flowers."
"What are you cherishing?" Xiang Qiubeard thought of the fallen flowers on that spot and glared angrily, "He is an evil ghost who can destroy flowers with his ruthless hands!"
Does destroying flowers refer to flowers or people? Li Minghua glanced at Xiang Qiubeard and asked: "He wants to kill you? Is he unwilling to reconcile with you?"
Xiang Qiubeard was very satisfied with her looking at him and treating him like a flower. He touched his chin and said, "That's not true. In fact, he saved me."
Saved him? Was it hatred or kindness? Was he in love or killing each other? Li Minghua couldn't understand.
He waved his hand to the beard and said, "Don't think too much, that uncle is just mentally ill!"
