106 Rescued

Song Yunfeng pondered for a moment. She seemed to have thought of something and chuckled. “Alright, Father. I’ll go play with my friends after the Lantern Festival.”

There were indeed many fun things to do in Shifeng County, but what was even more fun was the county magistrate of Shifeng County. Her parents had a grudge against him, but she did not. When her Third Brother was still around, he had always looked down on her. It was good that he was dead. He was finally no longer an eyesore to her. Speaking of which, not only did she not have a grudge Ming Zhiyan, but she also had to thank him. When she thought of that peerlessly handsome youth, she giggled.

Song Yuancheng did not know why she agreed, but this was a good thing for him. He quickly agreed, “Okay, okay. When that time comes, Father will send someone to send you there. When that time comes, you have to communicate with Father more often. Father will miss you.”

Song Yunfeng said perfunctorily, “Of course, Father.”

After saying that, she turned around and left, leaving Song Yuancheng alone on the spot.

Song Yuancheng clenched his fist and gave the butler a vicious kick. “Get up!”

The butler hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully. “Sir, do you have any orders?”

Song Yuancheng ordered, “Call all the officials here. Tell them that an important criminal has escaped. I will have them search the entire city!”

At this time, the city gates had already been sealed. They were definitely still inside the city!

The butler nodded and bowed, “Yes, I will definitely give the order!”



The black-clothed man brought Li Baode out of the city through the tunnel without any obstruction. There were already carriages waiting outside.

The person leading the horse quickly took Li Baode and placed him onto the carriage. He asked, “Where’s Master? Why hasn’t he come out yet?”

The man in black replied, “Master is at the back. He asked me to come out first.”

After waiting for a while, he finally saw Ming Zhiyan, who had arrived late.

He got on the horse and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”

The group of people quickly rode back to Shifeng County. The doctor was already waiting. Li Baode, who was riddled with injuries, was sent into the inner room. A few doctors went in and worked for a few hours. When they came out, the sky was already slightly bright.

Ming Zhiyan asked, “How is he?”

The doctor shook his head and said, “His injuries are too serious. His life is temporarily saved. It’s hard to say if he’ll be able to come back to life. Even if he can save his life, he might not be able to wake up.”

Ming Zhiyan nodded. “I’ll have to trouble you doctors to take care of him.”

The doctors nodded in unison. “That’s for sure.”

Ming Zhiyan went in to take a look. The wounds on Li Baode’s body had already been bandaged, leaving only his two eyes exposed.

He looked at the person lying on the bed with a heavy gaze.

Two days ago, he had received news that Li Baode had evidence of Song Yuancheng’s rebellion, but Song Yuancheng had found out, and locked him up in prison. He could not find out who had sent the news. After two days of deployment, he decided to rescue Li Baode tonight.

The evidence of Song Yuancheng’s rebellion was too important. It was enough to capture him in one fell swoop.

The previous embezzlement of disaster relief funds was actually just a list. If Song Yuancheng wanted to shirk it, it would be very easy. Therefore, if he wanted to bring him down, he still needed irrefutable evidence. He needed to make it impossible for him to turn the tables.



After the Lantern Festival, the weather gradually warmed up. The farmers who depended on the land for a living would have to start working for another year.

Before the villagers moved the soil, Jian Qingqing planned to go to the county town and ask Ming Zhiyan to go to the countryside to mobilize people. Otherwise, a nine-year-old girl like her would go to someone’s house and ask them to stop planting traditional crops and plant her high-yielding grain instead, it would be difficult. Even if they were from the same village, she would still be chased away, and they would think that she had mental problems.
