   Chapter 482 Civil Revolt

   "Tsuna, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." Seeing that Jingniang, who was lying in Zhenniang's arms, frowned and was about to wake up, Qiao Zhao hurriedly reassured her.

   After finally waiting for Zhenniang to speak, she can't let Jingniang go back to the starting point.

"My father used to be the censor of Fuxi, and he had the right to inspect and impeach the county officials in the prefectures to which he belonged. At the end of last year, he was transferred to the censor of Fudong. Unexpectedly, it was discovered that many officials in Fudong were corrupt and colluded with Japanese pirates. Common people. My father was extremely sad and angry, but he found out that even the Jinlin Guard stationed in Fudong was bought by Xing Wuyang, the chief soldier in Fudong.

   Zhenniang recalled the past, her whole body trembling like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

  Qiao Zhao listened quietly, not daring to make any noise to disturb her.

"Father couldn't, so he could only secretly collect evidence of corruption and fraud by Xing Wuyang and other officials, and finally waited for an opportunity to ask someone to send the two account books that recorded Xing Wuyang and other officials embezzling army salaries and colluding with Japanese pirates to my father's Shangfeng Master Qiao... As Zhenniang said, she suddenly found that the girl who had been quietly listening to her story had red eyes.

"What’s wrong with you?"

  Qiao Zhao hurriedly smiled to cover up: "It's okay, I was moved when I heard that Ling Zun was in such a difficult situation and didn't forget to expose the country's silverfish."

  It turns out that the two account books that my father got were provided by Zhenniang's father.

   This world is going around in circles, but there is God's will in the dark.

  Father, as the censor of Zuoyadu, Ding Youjiafeng, is undoubtedly the best person for Zhenniang's father to entrust the account books.

   "What happened later?" Qiao Zhao suppressed the turbulence in his heart

"Later, my father's behavior was noticed by those people. They put my father under house arrest and threatened him with our lives." Zhenniang raised her eyebrows and muttered, "Actually, I don't understand, they If you are so bold, why did you leave your father alive..."

Qiao Zhao said calmly: "They need a living Fudong Superintendent. If I am right, there must be some of them who are good at imitating handwriting, and regularly forge letters from Ling Zun and send them to the capital. Although Xing Wuyang can be in Fudong. One hand covers the sky, but there is no airtight wall in the world, if Ling Zun dies, he will never show up on many necessary occasions, and sooner or later he will be noticed, and after the news of the death reaches the court, the capital will definitely send a new censor over."

   "I understand. The new Inspector Censor is here, and he doesn't know his family background at all. He is not as easy to deal with as my father. It will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for those people, so they simply leave my father alive and maintain the status quo."

  Qiao Zhao nodded: "Exactly."

   Zhenniang closed her eyes and shed two lines of clear tears: "That's fine, at least my father left his life because of it."

  Qiao Zhao's lips moved, and she wanted to ask why Sister Zhenniang fell into the hands of Japanese pirates, but she was afraid that Zhenniang would be stimulated and the situation that she had finally waited for would become passive again, so she had to wait patiently.

   "Afterwards—" Zhenniang slowly opened her eyes, her hands trembled slightly, and she seemed to have exhausted her strength to say the following words, "There has been a civil uprising in Fudong—"

  Qiao Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, if it wasn't for his constant concentration, he almost exclaimed.

   There was a civil uprising in Fudong!

  Qiao Zhao's heart jumped violently.

  Ming Emperor Kang did not like the unstable situation of Daliang, so even if the evidence was presented to him, he still chose to put her brother in jail and save Xing Wuyang.

  This time they went south, they got another account book in Jiafeng, and they were still not sure that the emperor would make a move, but now it is different.

There was a civil revolt in Fudong. Throughout history, there are shadows of "people's revolt" or "mutiny" in the changes of dynasties. This is something that cannot be tolerated by the emperors of all dynasties, not to mention that Xing Wuyang concealed such a thing from happening. die.

   Now she can be sure that as long as Emperor Kangdi knows about this and has enough evidence to convince him, he can no longer pretend to be confused even if he has "ascended the way".

"This time the civil unrest was not small, and it still reached my father's ears. At that time, my father hit a wall, but was rescued by those people, and then...then they sold my sister and me to Japanese pirates as a warning! Zhenniang's eyes were red, and she grabbed Qiao Zhao's hand, "Since you are the people around the emperor, you will definitely be able to save my father, right?"

  Qiao Zhao stretched out his other hand to hold Zhenniang's hand, and said with a firm expression, "Yes."

   She wants to save not only Zhenniang's father, but also to avenge their Qiao family and seek justice for the thousands of officials and people who have been harmed by those beasts!

   "Thank you, thank you!" Zhenniang knelt on the bed and kowtowed to Qiao Zhao.

  Qiao Zhao stopped her: "Don't do this, it will wake up Jingniang."

   Hearing Qiao Zhao mentioning Jingniang, Zhenniang trembled and burst into tears: "I didn't protect my sister well, I promised my mother to take good care of her..."

   Qiao Zhao embraced Zhenniang and said softly, "Sister Zhenniang, you have done a good job."

  How many women fell into the hands of Japanese pirates and found their shortsightedness early, but Sister Zhenniang survived tenaciously. With the teachings they have received since childhood, it is impossible to support the present without a strong belief in survival.

  Zhenniang looked at Qiao Zhao: "Do you think we are shameless, even though we were spoiled by Japanese pirates, we still live shamelessly?"

Zhenniang's pale lips trembled, and she wept: "We should have hanged a rope earlier, so as not to embarrass our father, brother and family. But I am not reconciled, I am afraid that if I die, I will never see my father saved again. I can't see those beasts get the retribution they deserve!"

  Qiao Zhao knew that Zhenniang was thinking of death, and the day her father was saved might be the time when she killed herself.

   "Sister Zhenniang, I don't understand what you said."

   Zhenniang was startled.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was still childish, and she asked innocently: "It is the corrupt officials and officials in Xing Wuyang who have done all the bad things, and the pirates who have destroyed humanity. They are still living shamelessly, why do you feel shameless to live? "

  Qiao Zhao's words undoubtedly made Zhenniang's psychological burden a lot easier.

   As the daughter of the censor, she fell into the hands of Japanese pirates but endured the humiliation and survived. She was afraid that the girl in front of her would look down on her and embarrass her father.

   However, there was only a trace of ease, Zhenniang sighed: "The girl is still young, I don't understand."

Qiao Zhao smiled: "Sister Zhenniang's father is the supervisor of the censor, and my father is Hanlin Xiuzhuan. Sister Zhenniang understands it, and I also understand it. It is precisely because I understand that I feel that Sister Zhenniang should live a good life. My sister is strong and smart, and she should understand what I mean."

   Zhenniang was silent for a long time, then said softly, "Thank you."

   Considering that Zhenniang had just revealed her heart, Qiao Zhao did not dare to stimulate her with the fact that Jingniang was pregnant.
