In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Chapter 136 County Seat

Under the dim candlelight, Li Wei finally put down his pen. He took a deep breath and slowly folded the heavy memorial. His hands trembled slightly, as if conveying endless heaviness and expectations. He handed the memorial carefully to Li Bin, with a flash of fatigue in his eyes, but more of a firmness and determination.

"You must personally deliver this memorial to the capital and hand it over to my teacher Fan Hui." Li Wei's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. "He is the person I trust the most, and he is also a rare sober person in the court. Only he can present this memorial to the court and let His Majesty the Emperor know the truth here."

Li Bin took the memorial, holding it in both hands as if it weighed a thousand pounds. He could feel the heavy expectations and responsibilities his father had placed on him. He looked at his father deeply, his eyes full of respect and trust for his father. He nodded solemnly and said firmly, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely deliver this memorial to Lord Fan and live up to your trust."

Li Wei nodded with satisfaction, then leaned back in his chair tiredly. He closed his eyes, as if thinking about something, frowning, as if weighing some important decision. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, with an indescribable light flashing in his eyes.

"This world needs someone to stand up and tell the truth." Li Wei's voice was low and firm. "Even if we are in the darkness, we cannot give up the pursuit of light. Only when each of us dares to stand up and tell the truth can we break the darkness of this world and usher in the real light."

Li Bin was deeply shocked by his father's words. He had never seen his father so determined and resolute, and he had never thought that he would have the opportunity to participate in such a great thing. His heart was filled with excitement and pride, and at the same time, he became more determined. He held the memorial tightly in his hand, as if he could feel the heavy responsibility and mission.

"Father, I will." Li Bin's voice was firm and powerful. "I will send this memorial to Lord Fan and ask him to seek justice for the people of Xishan County!"

The father and son smiled at each other, as if all the difficulties and hardships disappeared at this moment. They knew that although they were in the darkness, as long as they had faith and courage, they would be able to welcome the arrival of light!

Li Wei glanced at the sky outside. It was already late at night. He said softly, "It's getting late. Go to bed! You have to get up early tomorrow!"

Li Bin looked at his father hesitantly, but after seeing his father's determined eyes, he nodded and said, "Then father, you should also rest early!"

"Don't worry, you completed your task very well this time!" Li Wei patted his son on the shoulder and gave him the greatest affirmation and encouragement.

"Yeah!" Li Bin responded and turned to leave. When he reached the door, he looked back at his father's slightly old figure, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He knew that his father had paid too much for this county, but he had never complained. At this moment, he was more determined to share his father's worries.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window into the room, Li Bin had already gotten up early and dressed up, ready to ride to the capital with two martial arts servants. Standing outside the door, he looked back at his father's somewhat hunched back, his heart filled with reluctance and gratitude. But he knew that this was his mission and his responsibility, and he had to complete it!

"Father! This is goodbye to me!" Li Bin took a deep breath and said loudly, his voice full of firmness and determination.

"Well! Be careful on the road! Remember to deliver this memorial to Fan Hui as soon as possible!" Li Wei's voice came from inside the house. Although it was a little hoarse, it was full of expectation and trust.

"Yes!" Li Bin responded, then mounted his horse and rode away. His figure gradually faded away in the morning light, leaving only a series of crisp horse hoof sounds echoing in the air.

After the door closed, Li Wei turned around and entered the study. At this time, there were piles of documents on the desk. His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about how to restore the order of the county as soon as possible and how to solve the problem of General Liu and his 5,000 troops. He knew that these were the problems he had to face and his responsibility as the head of a county. Although the road ahead was difficult, he believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome this difficulty and usher in new hope and light!

In the military camp in the county town, General Liu was having breakfast!

"General Liu! Magistrate Li's son Li Bin left the county early in the morning!" A soldier hurried over to report, "He seems to have something urgent to do!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing the news, General Liu immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, with a puzzled look on his face, "Why is he leaving the city?"

The soldier shook his head, his face a little confused. "I don't know about this. Magistrate Li seemed to have something important to do, so he didn't say much to us and just rode away on his horse."

General Liu frowned upon hearing this. He looked at the other person sitting next to him and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Dong put down his chopsticks, a sneer flashed in his eyes, a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "I'm afraid Li Bin is going to Beijing!"

"Go to Beijing! What is he doing in Beijing at this time?"

General Liu frowned even more tightly, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

Chen Dong didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "Li Wei is a legitimate Jinshi! He has many old friends in Beijing. I'm afraid he wants to report the situation here!"

"React!" General Liu snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face, "A young boy who is still wet behind the ears dares to stir up trouble in the court? He really doesn't know how to live or die! However, he did give me a reminder!"

"What do you mean?" Chen Dong's face showed confusion!

"We must not let him enter the capital!" General Liu said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, we will be in trouble!"

Chen Dong nodded, a solemn look on his face. After a moment of silence, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "But, after all, he is still the son of the county magistrate."

General Liu frowned, his eyes filled with anger, and said coldly: "If he dies at the hands of the rebels, the court will not be able to hold us responsible."

Chen Dong stopped talking. The image of Li Wei appeared in his mind. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly with a hint of sarcasm.

"You're right!" General Liu said coldly, "In that case... let's teach him a lesson! Let him never forget it!"

"Yes!" A sinister look appeared on Chen Dong's face!
