After the meal, everyone was still full of energy.

Dean Kong had nothing to do, so he proposed to gather all the children in the group together and prepare to teach them to read.

As farmers who have been working in the fields all their lives, it is difficult to get enough food on weekdays, so how can they afford to send their children to school? Many people will never be able to write their own names, which is sad to think about.

When the families with children heard what Dean Kong said, they were naturally delighted. This was a great opportunity that could not be found even with a lantern. They immediately set up a simple podium and asked Dean Kong to stand on it. The children also had smiles on their faces, and they sat down obediently without making any noise or making any noise.

Some children who had already been enlightened gathered around and listened with great interest. Some adults wanted to go over but were embarrassed. However, they did not want to miss such a good opportunity, so they stood quietly nearby and listened with their ears stretched out.

Song Jixiang carefully discovered this problem. In order to make Dean Kong less tired and to allow more people to hear his lectures, she equipped Dean Kong with a loudspeaker. In this way, Dean Kong did not have to shout with a trembling beard and a hoarse voice, and the people below could hear clearly.

Dean Kong did not give lectures by quibbling over the contents of the book, but instead used language that even children could understand. He told the originally obscure articles like a story, making them lively and interesting. The children were so fascinated by his lectures that even the adults no longer cared about their face and sat behind the children to listen quietly.

Due to limited conditions and the need to travel in the afternoon, Dean Kong could only talk about some excerpts from classics.

When he gets to the exciting parts, everyone often follows him, shaking their heads and muttering to himself.

"… When soil accumulates to form a mountain, wind and rain arise; when water accumulates to form an abyss, dragons are born; when good deeds accumulate to form virtue, the gods are content and the sage's heart is ready. Therefore, without the accumulation of small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without the accumulation of small streams, one cannot form a river or sea.…"

The clear sound of reading echoed throughout the vast snow-covered world, making everyone's heart pound. However, they couldn't describe what it felt like, as if another world had opened up before their eyes.

……

Suddenly, a group of people came from outside Yongning County. It looked like there were thousands of them. They were flying flags and making a lot of noise. If you didn't know, you would think that some important person had arrived!

The city gate was still the same, but it was a bit strange. The city gate that used to be bustling and lively was now deserted, with only the endless cold wind whistling past.

A man walked quickly to the carriage, bent down and reported: "Sir, we have arrived at Yongning County."

A servant heard the order from the person inside and immediately rolled up the curtains.

Prime Minister Meng tightened his fox fur coat, looked outside, and could not help sneezing several times. He took out a silk handkerchief and rubbed his red nose, saying unhappily, "Why is no one coming out to greet me? This is ridiculous. They don't take the court and me, the imperial envoy, seriously. They are really a bunch of unruly people, unruly people..."

That day, he sent a small team to come ahead to notify and look for the boy named Hua Bufan. However, a few soldiers came back to report that the captain who went there was struck by lightning.

What kind of excuse was that? It was ridiculous! Was he struck by lightning? These people were not good enough. In order to shirk their responsibilities, they actually made up such a ridiculous excuse to deceive him. He immediately killed all the members of that squad. As for the captain, he must have gone to some place to play. When he came back, he would definitely make him suffer.

"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right. We will punish them for the crime of disrespect after we enter the city..."

The man with a fawning face was none other than Song Bowen.

After he proposed the idea of ​​killing someone with a borrowed knife to the Third Prince, he knew that he could not stay in Yongning County any longer. The fact was just as he expected. It was said that the county magistrate who was left behind by the Third Prince was torn into pieces by the refugees. It was terrifying to think about it.

With his eloquence, he followed the Third Prince back to the capital, and not only escaped disaster, but also got a position as a chief clerk. There were very few people like him who could get an official position without taking the imperial examination, and he felt quite proud of himself.

Song Bowen knew that everything he had now was given by the Third Prince. Therefore, he was thinking about pleasing the Third Prince and doing more for him.

That day, the Third Prince finally called Song Bowen to his palace. Song Bowen was overjoyed, he knew that his chance had come.

Because he was from Yongning County, the Third Prince asked him to accompany the imperial envoy to the northwest and find the boy named Hua Bufan. No matter what method was used, he had to bring him to the capital because he was very useful. He also had to obtain the former queen's blood and then cut off the roots.

As long as these two things were done, the third prince promised him that he would promote him to a higher position.

Such a simple thing was simply a free gift, and he couldn't ask for more.

This time, he returned home in glory. He wanted to trample all those who had looked down on him and laughed at him. And... those bastards in Dashan Village actually dared to drive their family out of the village. They all deserved to die... I wonder if they have been massacred by the northern barbarians. I laughed like a devil in my heart...

"The Imperial Envoy has arrived, come out and greet him quickly..."

Thousands of people sang in unison. Even a person who couldn't hear the sound would be intimidated by their momentum. Unfortunately...

The city gate was still empty. Not a single person, not even a mouse, showed up.

Everyone...

Prime Minister Meng had already walked out of the sedan chair. Seeing this scene, he yelled angrily: "Go in, I want to see how many heads these unruly people have..." He was really angry and could no longer maintain his dignity as the Prime Minister. He couldn't help yelling out his catchphrases when he was a gangster. Since his sister became the imperial concubine, no one dared to ignore him like this.

The team responded in unison and rushed in with spears in hand.

Prime Minister Meng walked slowly into the city gate surrounded by a dozen personal guards.

"This, this is Yongning County???!!!"

This is clearly an empty city.

Everyone was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.
