Li Minglou and his party were placed in the courtyard of the back office, surrounded by high and thick walls like prison cages. There were officers and soldiers stationed outside the walls to ensure that not a single fly could fly out of the cage.
Yuanji stepped into the prison cage, the drunkenness on his face disappeared, and went straight to Li Minglou's room.
Li Minglou was looking at the map, and when he saw him coming in, Jin Jue went out to guard.
Yuan Ji said: "Miss, what are we going to do? These people don't intend to let us leave."
Li Minglou sighed softly: "That's it, it's great."
Yuanji thought he heard wrongly, why was being trapped a good thing?
Li Minglou knew Yuanji's doubts. She meant that she didn't want to leave, but she couldn't say it or think about it.
Just like she had to come to Huainan to seek medical advice, but everyone, including herself, said that they were going to Taiyuan Prefecture.
Li Minglou didn't leave Yuanji confused for too long. She turned around and looked at Yuanji and gave the answer.
"I want Dou County," she said.
Yuanji was puzzled and even more surprised. He didn't know if the lady meant what he thought.
Dou County is not a person or an object, but a city.
If the city is farther away, it belongs to the emperor; if it is closer, it belongs to the magistrate.
The lady wants Douxian County, why? Should she be the county magistrate?
Although the young master is about to become a Jiedushi, seemingly ridiculous things will come true, but the young lady is a woman, how can she get the official status of a seventh-grade county magistrate?
The lady's thoughts are becoming more and more elusive.
Of course, it is impossible to be the county magistrate. Even if she could, she would not be. Li Minglou explained: "What I mean is that we want to control Dou County. You should also be able to see by now that those fake bandits on the mountain are in collusion with the Dou County government."
of."
Yuanji nodded, although he didn't care about other people's affairs, but the officers and soldiers were causing trouble for thieves, and the local government even knew about it and wanted to silence them. There must be a big conspiracy in this.
"This matter is indeed a big conspiracy." Li Minglou has seen the precursors of the military rebellion with his own eyes, and there are some things that Li Minglou no longer intends to hide from Yuan Ji, "Ankang Mountain is planning to rebel."
Yuan Ji was shocked. Everyone in Ankang Mountain knew that Fei Yang was domineering and powerful, but rebellion was still terrifying.
The country of Daxia is rich and prosperous, and its army and horses are strong, and the border countries are also convinced and surrendered. How dare Ankang Mountain dare?
This Li Minglou can no longer answer. When Ankangshan rebelled in that life, many people thought the same way. They also thought that Ankangshan and his son were crazy and suicidal. In fact, they were invincible. If they had not encountered an equally crazy person,
Wu Ya'er will succeed.
Despite this, Daxia fell into ten years of melee, and its vitality was severely damaged.
Today's Daxia is no longer the Daxia that everyone thinks of. The emperor has been neglecting the court for more than ten years. The Luo family is extravagant and wants to sell their official positions. Prime Minister Cui Zheng and eunuchs are all greedy for power and profit. Officials are drifting with the tide.
The seemingly majestic and splendid palace was already in decay on the inside, but it collapsed with just a knife strike from the outside.
"You know that the emperor sent an envoy to Fan Yang, right?" Li Minglou said, "It was because someone reported that Ankangshan had the intention of treason, so the emperor asked Prime Minister Cui Zheng to investigate."
How did the young lady know? An adult told her? If an adult told her, there is no need to worry.
No, the adult had already passed away when this happened.
Various thoughts flashed through Yuan Ji's mind, but he did not ask any questions, let alone question, and listened to Li Minglou continue to speak.
"This inquiry will not yield any results. Ankangshan has bribed the envoys. During this period, Ankangshan is still expanding its troops and consolidating its power. Those Jiedu envoys in the north who did not obey him have been put under house arrest by him, and all their troops have been captured by him.
Occupy.”
"Dou County belongs to Huainan, the western part of Zhejiang near Huainan..."
Yuanji understood: "Ande Zhong."
Therefore, Ankangshan expanded his troops and grabbed land in the north, and his son Andezhong was in the southeast.
There is no need for Li Minglou to say the next words.
Yuan Ji said: "These soldiers and horses are arranged by Ande Zhong. He wants to cause chaos in Huainan and then take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Huainan."
Li Minglou nodded: "That's why I can't reveal my identity on the mountain. Mingyu just received the order. It would be bad if he is targeted by Ankang Mountain."
Yuan Ji understood that Ankangshan was ruthless and scheming, and was deeply loved by the emperor and the imperial concubine. Now that Li Fengan was gone, although Ankangshan could not easily kill Li Mingyu, it was easy to take away the banner.
"Fortunately, there is Liang Zhen." Li Minglou said.
It would be perfect to let him come out to attract everyone in Ankang Mountain.
When the Grand Governor was there, Liang Zhen was bullied by the Grand Governor. Now that the Grand Governor is gone, the eldest lady can easily bully Liang Zhen. Yuanji couldn't help but laugh, thinking of that crazy blind woman again.
When he was on the mountain, he also spotted the green smoke and called the police, so he rushed over with people. The scene at the bottom of the mountain was already very dangerous. Just when he was about to reveal his identity, Li Minglou spoke first and said something he didn't expect.
identity.
"Is she really Wu Ya'er's mother?" Yuan Ji asked.
Li Minglou shook his head: "I can't be sure, after all, the woman is not mentally conscious."
The woman's identity actually comes mostly from her intuitive guesses.
And it doesn't matter whether it is true or not. What is important is that the danger was eliminated at that time.
"Didn't they ask for a certificate?" Li Minglou winked at Yuanji, "The verification time is enough for us to do our work."
This is the first time Yuanji has seen Li Minglou's playful movements in a long time. His scary face, wrapped in black cloth with only his mouth, nose and eyes exposed, becomes a bit vivid. However, Yuanji's nose is inexplicably sour, and his face is busy with expressions.
Laughing: "Yes, who in the capital is more familiar with Liang Zhen's family than we are?"
Li Minglou smiled and nodded.
"So we need to control Dou County and prevent Ande Zhong from causing rebellion." Yuan Ji returned to the topic just now.
I'm afraid it won't work to stop Ande Zhong's rebellion. She only wants to make some changes on a small scale, such as rescuing Han Xu as she thought before, or changing the fate of Dou County being massacred.
If those people who were supposed to die were alive, not just one or two, but tens of thousands of people, would God still care about her?
Li Minglou said: "Let's find out the details here first and see how many people know about it."
He will do these things, Yuanji nodded, the lady only needs to say what she needs.
Li Minglou looked at him without speaking.
Yuanji hurriedly asked: "Miss, do you have any other instructions?"
Li Minglou's voice was filled with curiosity: "Uncle Yuan Ji, do you believe what I said? Don't you think I'm joking?"
Yuan Ji was startled, then smiled: "You are the eldest lady, you are Li Minglou."
Even if you are fooling around, I will just accompany you to fool around.
Li Minglou's heart felt stuffy. She had never felt this way in that life. In that life, she was carefree and did not need to be cared for or trusted by others. She had no emotions such as being touched because she did not need it.
Or maybe those who really cared about and trusted her were killed.
"Uncle Yuanji, how are you doing lately? Do you feel any discomfort?" Li Minglou asked.
The time of his death in his previous life was getting closer and closer. Although the place of his death was getting further and further away, Xiang Yun saved Li Mingyu and refused to marry Xiang Nan, letting her know that God's destiny is so cunning and she did not dare to take it lightly.
Yuanji said seriously: "I'm fine. Please don't worry, Miss. If there is any discomfort, I won't force myself to hide it from the Miss."
Li Minglou nodded and was about to say something, when Jinju's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, what are your orders?"
This is a reminder that the woman is here.
Yuan Ji opened the door, and Li Minglou came out and saw the woman standing on the porch. She was stopped by Jin Jie and did not make any noise. She kept silent and did not take another step.
"Madam." Li Minglou said.
The woman heard her voice and stretched out her hand: "Qiao'er."
Jin Jue supported her and brought her over. Li Minglou took the woman's hand and said, "I'm here."
"It's good that you're here." The woman's nervous expression disappeared and she held Li Minglou's hand tightly.
Li Minglou stretched out his hand to touch the woman's face and said softly: "I will talk to the people in the government about things, so don't worry."
Yuan Ji leaned over and said: "Have a good rest, madam. I will take my leave first."
The woman nodded gently and didn't say much.
Yuanji left, and Li Minglou took the woman indoors.
"Don't talk too much to others." The woman entered the room and whispered to Li Minglou, "Just talk to Old Governor Liang."
Li Minglou thought that this was exactly what I wanted, so he comforted the woman and asked, "Why can't you say it?"
The woman sighed: "It's not good for Ya'er."
Why are you treating Ya'er badly? Because you are not treating Ya'er well, the world doesn't know that Wu Ya'er has a mother. Because she is blind, crazy and stupid, the son thinks her mother is ugly?
But when Li Minglou asked again, the woman said nothing.
This crazy and foolish woman who cannot recognize relatives and strangers is sober and firm when it comes to her son.
