Chapter 249 What You Said Makes Sense

Mu Anbang saw Ning Chen and ran over quickly.

"General Ning?"

Ning Chen nodded, "How is it?"

Mu Anbang wiped the blood on his face and said: "Antied more than 2,000 enemies and captured more than 5,000 prisoners... These weaklings are vulnerable to a single blow."

Ning Chen smiled, "Where is the prisoner?"

Mu Anbang pointed in one direction, "There is a large open space over there, and all the prisoners are being detained there."

Ning Chen nodded slightly and said, "Well done!"

"Mu Dutong, leave some people here to deal with it, and you continue to suppress the rebels... Before dark tonight, all the rebels will either be killed or suppressed. Tomorrow I will restore peace to Fuzhou."

Fuzhou City has been captured, but this does not mean that the crisis has been resolved.

The Grand Master's 200,000 troops were the real challenge.

Therefore, everything must be sorted out before the Grand Master's 200,000 troops arrive.

Mu Anbang nodded, "Yes!"

"Have you seen Yuan Long?"

Mu Anbang shook his head.

Ning Chen hummed, "Okay, go and do your work!"

With the 20,000 troops led by Mu Anbang and Yuan Long, and the assistance of the Musketeers Battalion, how long can the rebels stay?

Next, he, the commander-in-chief, does not need to worry about the suppression.

Ning Chen took the people away.

It seems aimless, but the goal is actually very clear.

When he walked to a spacious street, Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

There is a street monument at the intersection of each street with the name of the street engraved on it.

Jing'an Street!

Looking at the three words on the street monument, the corners of Ning Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Ning Chen led the people and walked forward along the street.

After a while, he stopped and squinted his eyes to look at the plaque on a large house... Mei Mansion!

Ning Chen took a sniff and asked a soldier accompanying him, "Do you smell the smell of blood in this house?"

The soldier smelled it and replied honestly: "I didn't smell it."

"Come, come!"

The soldier walked up to the horse.

Ning Chen leaned over, raised his hand to peel off his scalp, and cursed at the same time: "Are you doubting my general's sense of smell? Say it again, do you smell it?"

The soldier covered his head and nodded repeatedly, "I smell it, I smell it, little man. It does smell of blood."

Ning Chen stopped and nodded with satisfaction.

"Why don't you knock on the door if you smell it?"

The soldier rubbed his head, ran to the door and knocked the knocker.

After a while, the door slowly opened.

The person who opened the door was an old servant. When he saw Ning Chen and others, his expression suddenly changed.

"Gentlemen, what are you doing?"

Ning Chen stepped forward and asked, knowingly: "Who is the owner of this house?"

The old servant said tremblingly: "My master is not here."

"I asked who your master is?"

The old servant said tremblingly: "I...my master is Lord Governor Shi Zhuo."

"Zhuo Heguang?"

The old servant trembled: "Yes!"

Ning Chen snorted, "Your master assassinated this general and was killed by me."

"I now suspect that there are rebels hiding in this house. I want to search it... Let all the maids and servants in the house gather. I want to question you."

Hearing that Zhuo Heguang had been killed, the old servant turned pale with fright and nodded in horror, "Young man, I'll do it now!"

Ning Chen waved his hand.

The old servant turned around and ran in tremblingly.

Ning Chen dismounted and handed the horse to a soldier, leaving a few people to guard the door while he led the others into the mansion.

This house is very large, with four entrances.

Ning Chen walked inside and looked around.

He turned to the soldiers beside him and said: "Next, I will stay in Fuzhou for a while and need a place to stay. I like the environment of this house very much. It is in line with my noble temperament."

"Zhuo Heguang committed a heinous crime by assassinating me. Do you think it's not too much for me to live in his house for a while?"

The soldier who had just been scalped learned the lesson this time and shook his head repeatedly, "It's not too much, not too much at all... General Ning deserves to keep this house as his own."

Ning Chen raised his hand to scalp him, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by taking it as your own? These are stolen goods and must be confiscated... If I, the general, like it, I will spend my own money to buy this house."

"Are you asking me, General, to make a mistake? I, Ning Chen, have never taken advantage of the common people."

The soldier covered his head and said, "General Ning has a noble character and his subordinates admire him...but Governor Zhuo is not a common man."

Ning Chen stopped and couldn't help but feel happy, "What you said makes sense... What's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Youcai!"

"Zhang Youcai?" Ning Chen smiled and said, "You are indeed very talented... Then from today on, when this general lives here, you will be responsible for protecting my safety."

Zhang Youcai said with excitement on his face, "Yes!"

"Zhang Youcai, please bring someone to search this house for me now to make sure there are no rebels hiding here."

"Yes! General, don't worry, my subordinates promise not to let go of even the mouse holes."

Ning Chen's lips twitched, "It's not necessary to be so careful."

Good guy, you won't even let go of the mouse holes...Do you want to find my treasure?

Zhang Youcai led people to start the search.

Ning Chen brought several people to the inner courtyard.

All the maids and servants in the mansion gathered together.

There were not many people, only about a dozen people.

Seeing Ning Chen walking in, everyone looked horrified.

Ning Chen glanced at them and said, "Don't be afraid. The evil done by Zhuo and Guang has nothing to do with you."

"Let me ask you, are there any rebels hiding in this mansion?"

Ning Chen didn't believe what Zhuo Heguang said. To be precise, he didn't believe the left prime minister. This old guy was so scheming. His treasure was hidden here. How could he not send someone to protect it?

It would be a great loss if there was a rebel force hidden somewhere in the house, or a master like Poisonous Master, who rushed out to kill him while he was not paying attention.

He wants to embezzle the treasure left by the left prime minister, but he must ensure his own safety... If he can make money, he must also have his life to spend.

The old servant who opened the door hurriedly shook his head, "Sir, we are the only ones in this mansion, there is no one else."

Ning Chen stared at him with sharp eyes, "Are you sure? Think carefully before answering... If you deceive this general, I will kill your whole family."

The old servant was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground and trembled: "Little... Even if a little man has great courage, he would never dare to deceive an adult."

Ning Chen stared at the old servant and felt a little relieved when he saw that his expression didn't look like he was lying.

An hour later, Zhang Youcai came back with his people.

"General Ning, we searched the house inside and out to make sure there are no rebels!"

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

"Zhang Youcai, go and get rid of all the servants and maids in the house... I will handle official business here from now on. I will give you fifty people. These fifty people will be under your command. The safety of this general will be left to you. ”

Zhang Youcai's face was full of excitement, "General Ning, don't worry, even if your subordinates die, the general's safety will be guaranteed."

Ning Chen patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "Do a good job, and I'll give you a reward when you get back to Beijing!"

"Thank you General Ning!"

...

Ning Chen left fifty people with Zhang Youcai, and then took the others back to the Governor's Mansion.

What Ning Chen didn't expect was that Lei An was here.

Seeing Ning Chen, Lei An quickly stood up and paid homage!

"When did you arrive?"

"General Hui Ning, my subordinates have just arrived."

Lei An looked at Ning Chen with eyes full of admiration and adoration.

He prepared provisions and for fear of delaying the opportunity to fight, so he led the people from the baggage camp with siege vehicles and ladders, and traveled day and night under the stars and moon. More than a dozen horses were exhausted, and he finally arrived.

But when they arrived at the place, everyone was stunned. Ning Chen had already captured Fuzhou City.
