"Ah?" Yang Ruoqing was dumbfounded.

Sure enough, I didn’t receive it, this...

Alas, carrier pigeons in ancient times were sometimes really unreliable. This is not the first time they have lost contact.

"Approximately how long ago was it written?" Yang Huazhong asked again.

Yang Ruoqing said: "About a month and a half ago, forget it, if you didn't receive it, you didn't receive it. Now I'm all back."

Yang Huazhong asked again: "Then what did you write in the letter? Did I delay something serious?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's not really my serious business, it's just a letter to tell my father that I'm safe, and in the letter I mentioned the new emperor's enthronement..."

Then, Yang Ruoqing told Yang Huazhong about the decree of amnesty and Wangfu.

Yang Huazhong thought about it for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the security chief asked us Li Zheng to go to town tomorrow for this reason?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's possible."

Yang Huazhong thought for a while and said: "If there is really a general amnesty, then I can't refuse Wangfu to return to the village privately."

"I don't dare to ask dad to resist the decree. If this is what we are talking about tomorrow, then dad will accept it," Yang Ruoqing said.

"Xiaoqin, I've already said hello. Wait patiently. Then we'll find something to blame for Wangfu. We'll send him to prison again for refusing to mend his ways despite repeated admonitions and being favored by my uncle, the Emperor." She said.

Yang Huazhong hesitated and said, "What if Wangfu has been in prison for so long and now he has changed his ways?"

Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment, then said: "It's easy to change a person's nature, but it's hard to change his nature. I can't believe that Wangfu will change for the better. He is such a bad person to the core."

Yang Huazhong nodded, "Okay, let's do as you say first. I'll go to the village elders later to say hello and listen to what they have to say!"

At night, Luo Fengtang returned to the bedroom after taking a shower and saw his wife leaning on the pillow, clearly holding a notebook in her hand, but her eyes were staring at something at the end of the bed in a daze.

Obviously, I haven't read more than a few pages of this book.

"What are you thinking about?" Luo Fengtang walked over and asked curiously.

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses in an instant and said: "I was thinking, instead of thinking so hard about digging a hole for Wangfu to jump, it would be easier to just kill him with a knife."

"Uh..." Luo Fengtang's head was covered with black lines.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking like this?" Yang Ruoqing asked in surprise.

Luo Fengtang sat down next to her and said, "Is Wangfu from the enemy country?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "No, they are the people of Daqi."

Luo Fengtang nodded and asked again: "Wangfu did make mistakes in the past, but he was arrested and imprisoned for a long time."

"In prison, you obviously had many ways to make him die, but you didn't take any action. Why?"

Why?

Yang Ruoqing thought for a while, yes, if it was in her previous life, if she wanted to kill someone, she would look for opportunities everywhere.

In this life, killing Wangfu is really easy. Kill him and throw him under the cliff of the back mountain without anyone noticing.

But why has she never done this, instead dealing with it in the way of this era?

"Killing him doesn't give me any sense of accomplishment. Besides, dirtying my hands may bring bad karma to my children!" Yang Ruoqing could only think of this much.

Luo Fengtang nodded, raised his hand and gently rubbed Yang Ruoqing's hair.

"In the final analysis, Wangfu is just an uneducated barbarian in the village. He is lustful and greedy. In addition, he was instigated by others, so he did so many wrong things."

"From the perspective of the sufferer, I really want to kill him. However, the sufferer is not us. If we directly kill him with a knife, then we are killing indiscriminately."

"Kill indiscriminately?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows.

Luo Fengtang said: "Yes, killing indiscriminately."

"Although I am a general and lead troops to fight, what I do is kill people for a living."

"But the people I kill are all enemies, enemies that are incompatible with water and fire. If I don't kill him, he will kill me. If he kills me, he will invade and occupy the country I am defending behind him, and invade my home and family!

"

"So, as a general, even if I don't know those enemies, I must kill them."

"But we will not kill hatching eggs, or innocent people or merchants from enemy countries."

"So, as for Wangfu, Wangfu actually has nothing to do with us. He just caused trouble to Xiaoqin,"

"I know that you have a good relationship with Xiaoqin and want to help her get rid of this problem. But you can help, but you can't really kill someone for her. This is a matter of principle."

After listening to Luo Fengtang's analysis, Yang Ruoqing lowered her eyes and digested his words carefully.

Luo Fengtang leaned over and gently held her hand with both hands, saying: "I am a general, and I am good at killing. I hope that my wife's hands are moist with spring water."

"So, don't worry about Wangfu. At worst, when he comes back, I will find him and arrange for him to join my army, let him do odd jobs in the kitchen, and watch him under my nose.

I can't find any clues."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoqing suddenly felt energetic.

"This is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it before? He is not too old. He is in his forties, which is when he is still in his prime." She said a little excitedly.

"Rather than go around causing trouble in the village with plenty to eat and drink, or embarrass Xiaoqin and the others, it would be better for him to do something meaningful and treat it like waste."

Waste utilization?

Luo Fengtang was amused again by this new word coined by Yang Ruoqing.

"My army will arrive in Wanghai County in the next two days. I have them stationed thirty miles outside the city."

"The soldiers can go home to reunite with their families on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, while the others will stay where they are,"

"We will wait until spring is over and the mountain roads thaw and the ice and snow melt before we return to the base camp in Xiushui Town."

"Go and tell your father-in-law early tomorrow morning if the bailiff really wants Li Zheng to go through the prisoner's bail procedures,"

"Just ask your father-in-law to stop owing you. When the time comes, I will go directly to the county jail to pick up the person in the name of the military. I will take Wangfu directly to the camp thirty miles outside the city, saving me a trip back to the village."

He said again.

"Okay, okay, okay," Yang Ruoqing leaned forward and hugged his neck,

"This is really a foolproof strategy. The Emperor has released him with great grace. Then it is time for him to repay the Emperor and serve the country. If he dares not to join the army, he will be despising the new emperor. Then he will use this as an excuse.

Take him down again!"

The stone in her heart completely fell to the ground. Yang Ruoqing hugged Luo Fengtang comfortably and had a good sleep.

Early the next morning, she went to the yard next door, cooked porridge and cakes for Yang Huazhong and Xiao An, and gave Yang Huazhong detailed instructions on what Luo Fengtang had told him.
