Chapter 83 The Three Stooges
Before the other party could speak, Tang Ning took the lead and slapped the letter he had received on the table. He asked in a bad tone: "Who wrote the letter to this governor?"
Ning and Rui looked at each other in a different way.
Pang Wei stood up and said loudly: "It's me, what's wrong?"
Tang Ning looked at Pang Wei, with an unknown evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly approached him.
Pang Wei took a step back with some fear, "What do you want to do? Do you know who we are?"
"I care who you are!" Tang Ning kept talking nonsense, kicked Pang Wei out and kicked him on the fishing net.
Ning Herui and Lu Yang almost frightened when they saw Pang Wei being hung on the fishing net.
Pang Wei struggled desperately in the fishing net. Although he was angry, he thought of Tang Ning's identity and their situation, so he could only shout unwillingly, not daring to say anything ugly.
Ning Herui hurried over and picked up the letter and looked carefully. Then his expression changed drastically. He took a deep breath before walking to Tang Ning, clasped his fists and bowed, "Governor, it's my palace that I am incompetent. I'm not respectful to him. I'll apologize for him. Please ask the Governor to let him go."
"I? Who are you?" Tang Ning asked knowingly, and his eyes sharply looked at the boy in front of him.
Ning Herui hurriedly replied: "I am the fifth prince of Daqi, this is my jade plaque."
Ning Herui took off the jade token on his body and handed it to Tang Ning, and asked nervously: "Can you release Pang Wei?"
Tang Ning looked at the jade plaque carefully, and then handed it to Qiu Jingming to identify it before returning the things to Ning Herui, signaling Lu Hongyue to release the people, and then invited Ning Herui to sit down.
He ordered the attendant to serve tea and smiled awkwardly: "If I had known that the fifth prince had led the troops to suppress the bandits, I would have brought people to support everything. But this letter was full of no end, so I would have asked me to lead the troops to help me. To be honest, if I hadn't rushed into the capital, I would have to go to Fujianguan and Wenzhou for a trip.
I questioned these two prefects, it would be fine if I could not keep my jurisdiction, but it would be reasonable to let the pirates secretly kill people and kill people! I dared to order me to suppress the bandits. I didn’t twist their heads off and sent them to Xijing to present them to the emperor. It was considered polite!”
Tang Ning's words shocked the three of them.
Ning Herui touched his neck and suddenly felt a chill.
Pang Wei's face looked extremely ugly, and he kept his energy silent. Lu Yang was extremely grateful. Fortunately, he believed it was not written by him or sent by him, otherwise he would be finished if he was hated by this female devil.
Seeing that the three of them looked wrong, Qiu Jingming immediately poured a cup of tea for each of them, with a chuckled on his face, and gently comforted him: "Governor Ping has a tough temper and speaks straightforwardly. Don't take it to heart, but I am very curious, how could the emperor ask His Highness to lead his troops to suppress the bandits?"
As far as Qiu Jingming knows, Ning Chengyun has many sons, but none of them inherited his generals. Judging from the fifth prince's miserable appearance this time, you know that this is not the source of leading troops to fight.
Ning Herui smiled embarrassedly, covered up the emotions in his eyes, and said slowly: "The country is in chaos, and the imperial court is employed at the moment of hiring people. The generals of the father and emperor either guarded the various fortresses in Xijing or were given orders outside. They were already nervous about hiring people, so how could they mobilize people to Wenzhou and Fujian Guan area to suppress bandits.
Originally, my father wanted to send troops to the four prefectures of Jiangnan, but Jiangnan was already seriously injured and finally relieved it a little, so he really couldn't draw out so many people."
Speaking of this, Ning Herui glanced at Tang Ning and continued, "Later, his father proposed to ask Mrs. Nanyue to lead troops to suppress the bandits, but was opposed by some ministers in the court, saying that such trivial matters as suppressing bandits did not need to alarm the governor of Lingnan.
At this time, a minister proposed to let the newcomer experience. The eldest brother recommended himself. The second brother and the third brother were not willing to be outdone. They all said that they could share the worries of the father. The fourth brother directly stated that he could not lead the troops, but could provide money to support him. The palace did not speak out. In theory, if there was no surprise, this job should fall on the three emperors.
Who knew that the morning court of Empress, Concubine De, went to see his father together. After that, the imperial edict was sent to the palace to lead troops to suppress the bandits."
After Qiu Jingming and Tang Ning heard this, it was really hard to describe.
The eyes of Ning Herui were filled with sympathy.
Although I don’t know what the child’s mother is in the harem, she is obviously an unpopular or has a low status, otherwise she would not have been involved in such a bad thing.
"Okay! Since you are asked to lead troops to suppress the bandits, the emperor should not give you nothing or just ask you to bring people here. He will always arrange a military advisor or something!" Tang Ning asked leisurely.
Ning Herui's eyes immediately floated to Pang Wei and Lu Yang beside him, and introduced: "This is Lu Yang, the second son of General Zhenguo's mansion, and this is Pang Wei, the younger brother of Princess Cheng.
Lu Yang followed his father to the battlefield, and Pang Wei also participated in the suppression of bandits in the southwest. His father thought they were experienced, so they walked with our palace."
Tang Ning crossed Ning Herui with his eyes and looked at Lu Yang curiously, "Where did the General's Mansion come from?"
Lu Yangjun's face turned red and she lowered her head in shame, "I am incompetent and failed to protect the fifth prince, but my father and my elder brother are really amazing, I..."
Lu Yang's eyes were red and he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.
Tang Ning did not continue to poke the scars, but turned to Lu Hongyue, "Did all those pirates kill them?"
"Yes! The other party is very cunning and has excellent water quality. Before the pirate ship sank, they had already found an escape exit in advance. After entering the water, they immediately abandoned the ship, grabbed the hemp rope that had been tied under the water, and with the driving force of the tide, they could quickly jump out of the dangerous range, and they didn't have to worry about being taken into the deep sea.
Our people cut off their ropes, followed the clues, and chased 68 people under the water. Together with the thirty-five people counted by the brothers before, they killed a total of 103 pirates."
Tang Ning looked at Ning Herui, "Is this data correct?"
Ning Herui was speechless in an instant.
Tangning: “….”
"Forget it, I'll write a letter to ask the Chaozhou Navy to come and search and see if you want to follow us back to Xijing or to go to the dock first?" Tang Ning asked.
Before Ning Herui could speak, Lu Yang said, "The fifth prince is a daughter-in-law, so you can't take any more risks. Please ask the governor to escort His Highness the fifth prince back to Beijing. If you ask the governor to send a small boat to me to the dock, I will be responsible for the aftermath, and then take the rest of the people back to Xijing to report."
Tang Ning looked at Lu Yang with appreciation, nodded with a smile, "No problem."
"Thank you!" Lu Yang bowed to Tang Ning, turned to look at Ning Herui, and reminded him: "Your Highness, my subordinates must be separated from you for the time being, take care of you!"
"Lu Yang..." Ning He Rui wanted to keep him, but he couldn't say that the three of them had to stay and have someone to do the aftermath. He could stay together, but Lu Yang and Pang Wei did not have the ability to protect him, and then they would become their burden.
