Translator: 549690339

Some soldiers were repairing the city walls.

Some soldiers were burying corpses, some of them were from their comrades, some of them were from the people of the city, and some of them were from the barbarians and demons.

These tasks had been carried out in an orderly manner for three days.

the history books will definitely record this incident as a warning to the future generations. At the same time, they will also record the North vanquishing Prince’s crimes and let his name go down in history for thousands of years.

Censor Liu appeared beside him. The diplomatic mission had already learned from li Miaozhen that Zheng xinghuai had escaped death and understood that the Zheng xinghuai they saw in the city was fake.

It was most likely the work of the third stage wizard. Otherwise, it would be impossible to hide it from the fourth stage Yang Yan.

“Will the Imperial court really convict the North-guarding King?” Zheng bu said in a low voice.

“Victory is something to fight for.” Censor Liu said, word for word.

At this moment, Xu Qi ‘an, Yang Yan, Constable Chen, and the others climbed up the city wall. Xu yinluo, the head of the Bureau, said in a deep voice, ‘”‘Next, we’ll be returning to the capital to settle the northern Prince’s crime and conclude the case.

but before that, envoy Zheng would probably want to give a few toasts to the dead souls in the city.

Centurion Chen Xiao held a wine pot in his hand as he stepped forward.

Zheng bu took the wine pot and looked down at the city again. He wanted to have some time to recall the first half of his life before paying his respects.

Zheng xinghuai was born in Zhang Zhou, which was known as one of the two major granaries of Da Feng. However, his family was very poor when he was young. He relied on his mother to wash clothes for the well-off family and work as an Embroidery Worker to survive.

What the young Zheng xinghuai looked forward to the most was the day of the autumn harvest, where he could go to other people’s fields to pick up ears of wheat.

If he picked up a basket of wheat, he and his widowed mother could have porridge for three days. He couldn’t pick up too many, or he would be beaten up.

After the autumn harvest, the most difficult time was winter. Every winter, his hands and feet would be frozen and cracked. As for her mother, even in winter, for a few copper coins, she had to wash clothes for people by the frozen river.

Little by little, his widowed mother helped him save enough money for teacher’s SHU Xiu, enough money to enter the Imperial College.

Zheng xinghuai entered the Imperial College at the age of 16 and studied hard for ten years. In the 19th year of yuanjing, he was listed on the Golden roll as a second-place scholar.

He rushed back to his hometown without stopping, wanting to bring joy to his mother. He wanted to take his mother to the capital to settle down. He wanted to glorify his family’s reputation and make all the people who had once said cold words look at him in a new light.

But what he saw was his mother’s short grave.

It had been many years since his widowed mother passed away, but she had never told him that the letters were written on her behalf by her clansmen. This was because the ordinary woman, who had worked hard her entire life, did not want to affect her son’s studies.

Zheng xinghuai knelt in front of his mother’s grave for a day and a night.

Zheng xinghuai’s official career was not smooth. Because he was too rigid and unwilling to associate himself with the filthy, he offended the chief Assistant at that time and was demoted to Chuzhou in the northern part of the Great wall, becoming an eigntn-ranK county magistrate.

At first, he didn’t like Chuzhou because the northern frontier was bitter and cold, and the people were tough. The inflexible him had finally been enlightened. He had exhausted all his savings to make connections with acquaintances, hoping that he could be transferred back to the capital.

Until one year, the Barbarian cavalry came to raid the valley and pillaged for dozens of miles.

After the incident, Zheng xinghuai was sent to comfort the people and inspect the situation. He walked on the fields and watched the Qing Miao people being trampled by the Armored Cavalry.He walked on the official road, looking at the corpses that had been devoured by the barbarians.He walked into the mountains and saw the people who were lucky enough to escape the disaster. He looked at their poor and weathered faces.

Zheng xinghuai thought of his mother who had passed away many years ago.

Later, when the first assistant retired, his classmates and good friends worked in the court to transfer him back to the capital.

However, at that time, Zheng xinghuai no longer wanted to leave Chuzhou because he had poured all his energy and effort into this land.

He worked so hard and often stayed up all night to deal with government affairs, as if he could make up for what he owed his mother.

Time flew by. 18 years had passed in the blink of an eye. He had given half of his life to Chu Zhou, and now he was all alone.

“Fame and fortune are like. piece of paper, but they’re nothing more than dust in the air …. Zheng buzheng’s sorrow rose and he burst into tears.

The wine was poured down, causing dust to fly up.

For a long time, no one spoke, until Zheng xinghuai’s mood stabilized. The

Chancellor of the judicial office cleared his throat and said,

“Que Yongxiu has already fled for his crimes, and the North vanquishing Prince has been executed. However, their crimes have not been announced to the world yet, and administrator Zheng is the main witness who must return to the capital with us. However, with the state of Chu Prefecture city, the current Northern Territory needs someone to stay behind to take charge of the situation …”

Imperial censor Liu frowned and analyzed, “The Chu Prefecture city’s 380000 people died tragically. The aftermath is simple. We only need to settle the 20000 soldiers.

“As for the other states and counties, just keep them as they are and don’t need any special attention. As for the Barbarian and demon races, they had just experienced this war and were already scared out of their wits. They were afraid that the mysterious master would not invade the border again in the short term. In fact, I won’t be able to do it for many years.”

Zheng xinghuai pondered for a moment and looked at Yang Yan. “A scholar doesn’t command an Army. I’m good at handling government affairs, but I’m a layman in managing the Army. Yang Jinluo, you have the highest cultivation among us and have experience in weapon control. It can be used to manage and also to intimidate the soldiers.”

“Alright,” Yang Yan nodded and said lightly.

The boss was actually the upgraded version of Zhu guangxiao. He was quiet, but he was down-to. earth. willing to work, and very reliable … Xu Qi ‘an did not interrupt from the beginning to the end.

This was because all he wanted to say had been said by these civil officials.

by the way, ” he suddenly remembered something, “”Bring North vanquishing Prince’s body back to the capital. He was the main character of this case. Even if he dies, he must be brought back to the capital.’

“Naturally.” Zheng bu nodded..
