Chapter 1011: Not Like a Normal Teenager
Deputy General Zhao also led his soldiers to patrol and monitor the crowd at the northeast city gate to prevent any assassins from pretending to be Wei people and taking poison, and then pretending to die from poisoning after eating wild potatoes and taro.
However, because Lieutenant General Zhao had a criminal record, Madam Cui did not trust him. She was afraid that Lieutenant General Zhao would deliberately let him go and give the assassins of the aristocratic families a chance to cause trouble. So she asked Cui Yingban, Luan Que and others to arrange martial artists and assassins to help with patrols and surveillance.
Deputy General Zhao and his soldiers secretly cried out that they were wronged... They had finally got this opportunity to make amends and wished they had a few more pairs of eyes watching them closely. How could they deliberately let him win?
The soldiers under Deputy General Zhao monitored the situation more carefully... With the combined efforts of several parties, no accidents occurred in the area around the northeast city gate until dawn.
All the people of Wei who ate the wild yam and taro did not feel any discomfort.
Commander Mei was still not at ease and wanted to keep some evidence, so he sent half of his troops and a medical team to ask everyone who left: "Fellow villagers, have you eaten sweet potatoes and taro? Do you feel unwell? If you feel well, you can leave. If you feel unwell, the medical team can take your pulse for free."
Great attitude.
Wei Min was caught off guard.
Someone brave enough said, "Sir, what you are doing is different from when we stormed into the warehouse to conduct a surprise search.
Wow, this kid is so brave, he actually dares to make fun of me in person!
Captain Mei said, "The Dongmo spies have been lurking in our Great Wei for a hundred years, so the government troops have to be cautious. Don't worry, after today, the number of surprise searches will decrease, and goods traveling north and south will be cleared quickly!"
When this promise was made, the people of Wei were very happy. The warehouse heads, shop assistants, porters, carriage inns, escort agencies, and merchants who made a living from the warehouse and freight transportation all came back to life.
"Thank you for your consideration, General. Please rest assured, we are native Wei people and will be loyal to the Great Wei. If we find any suspicious people or animals, we will report it immediately!"
"Thank you all." Commander Mei breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Gentlemen, sweet potatoes and taro are good things, but some people don't want these good things to be promoted for cultivation, saying they are poisonous. So, I ask those who have eaten sweet potatoes and taro without any discomfort to help promote them, so as to help these two high-yield potato crops be planted more widely!"
"This is a matter of great justice. We are willing to leave our names and fingerprints to prove that the mountain yam is not poisonous!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we should learn from Mr. Rong and do good things for the world!"
Thousands of Wei people spontaneously signed and put their fingerprints on the "Certificate of Non-Toxic Consumption of Yams and Yams".
After an hour of commotion, by mid-afternoon, the bustle in the northeast city gate area had only just subsided by half.
The fact that Mr. Ke Rong opened a private warehouse to donate grain to the country to fight the enemy and that wild yams were high-yielding and non-toxic fermented even more vigorously.
There is a constant stream of people coming to the northeast city gate to pay homage to Mr. Yong.
There is a constant stream of people coming to the fried food shop to eat sweet potatoes and to Mrs. Cui’s farm to see fresh sweet potatoes day and night.
There was an endless stream of families donating money to fight the enemy.
Because of Kang Rong's relationship with Jing Lao, Ying Zilin and Zhou Rong, Taizhou Academy became a place where various families donated money.
Taizhou Prefecture was the ancient capital of several dynasties, and Taizhou Academy was once the Imperial College of several dynasties. Due to the strict rules of the aristocratic families, ordinary people and common people were not allowed to approach within a radius of one mile.
But now, Taizhou Academy has opened its main gate. Principal Cui, Deputy Principal Que, and Mr. Luan, along with the students, have set up rows of registration tables at the gate to register donations from people from all walks of life.
From the headmaster to the students, everyone tied white cloth around their waists to mourn Kang Rong.
Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Cui Shanzhang, and the ladies of the Ying, Ban, and Luan families also set up a special donation office for female heroes.
After the news spread, many women came to donate money... Some donated farms and shops, some donated half a bag of wheat. In short, no matter how much, as long as the donation was made, it would be registered.
The female guards also stated: "The list of female heroes who donated money to help the country fight the enemy will be sent to the capital by Madam Cui, directly before the emperor, so that His Majesty can know the efforts made by women to help the country fight the enemy!"
Upon hearing this, the women who came to donate straightened their backs a bit more. Some had come to donate without telling their families, and when they got home, they told them about the promise to shut up their families' nagging.
And because of the presence of the government troops, the nobles, and the Taizhou Academy, the proceeds from this donation were particularly generous, equivalent to the treasury of the Great Wei State...
It really means: "Those donations are enough to fight against the Eastern Desert, and even the Western Rong at the same time."
The leader of Mr. Ming's assassins reported to Mr. Ming what happened outside.
Young Master Ming has lost a lot of weight recently. The baby fat on his face is gone, his cheeks are sunken, and his eyes are sharper and colder... He looks like a little evil ghost that has just crawled out of the underworld.
Just, not like a normal teenager.
The leader of the assassins saw his grim expression and was terrified, but Master Ming did not interrupt. He continued to report: "Mi Dong put the blame on Madam Mi. Madam Mi donated all her dowry and even practiced Buddhism with her hair uncut to pray for Mr. Yong for three years."
Bang!
The jade shattered with a sound, and Master Ming sneered, "Mr. Rong? He really deserved his death."
"Kang Rong, a wastrel, a good-for-nothing who would never amount to anything even if he lived a hundred years, yet he earned a place in history through his death, along with the blessings of his younger brother for five generations!"
Huh, Master Ming took a deep breath, but still couldn't calm down his anger.
"If the Qin family is not wiped out, the harm caused by the Qin family will be endless." Master Ming believed that Kang Rong dared to cause trouble by threatening death because he learned it from the Qin family.
The Qin family's new dye was able to succeed because of the Qin girl who overturned the table and smashed the monopoly!
The leader of the death squad didn't dare to persuade them, but just bent his body lower.
Young Master Ming also knew that it was not possible to exterminate the Qin family at this moment. He had to return to Beijing and make careful plans with his father.
"Oh, Mr. Yong? Five generations of grace? Kang Yan and the Li family are also worthy?" Young Master Ming ordered: "Pass the order to seal off all the Li family's assets. I will make sure that the Li family cannot survive in this generation."
This?
The leader of the assassins felt something was wrong and hesitated for a moment before responding.
Bang! Young Master Ming smashed things again in anger.
The leader of the assassins immediately knelt down and apologized.
Young Master Ming looked down at him and said, "This isn't an impulsive move, nor is it a miscalculated decision. It's a necessary deterrent... Otherwise, the people in the Aristocratic Family Alliance might not recognize who their masters are."
A century-long dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, so the master of a family is never the emperor of a certain dynasty, but the head of the most powerful family alliance.
And his family is secretly the leader of the aristocratic family alliance and the master of all the aristocratic families.
Now, Cui Yingque and other noble families want to join another master, so he, as the real master, naturally has to wake them up.
"Yes." The leader of the death squad accepted the order.
But Master Ming still couldn't vent much of his anger, and said again: "Discard Mi Dong, he is useless."
The leader of the assassins said, "Sir, although Mi Dong was defeated this time, his reputation is still great. Moreover, Mi Dong has already dealt with Madam Mi. Outsiders will only think that it was the woman who was stupid and made a mistake, bringing trouble to the Mi family. It will not affect Mi Dong's reputation as a famous scholar, and they may even pity him instead."
But Master Ming cursed, "Fool! The Mi family's affairs involve Deputy General Zhao and the country's military affairs. If Mi Dong is not deposed, will the emperor turn a blind eye?"
