Chapter 33 Suppressing Bandits
When he got into the room, Mu Zhengliu was holding a pot of tea and Yu Donghai bowed and said, "Yu left without saying goodbye, I'm sorry for forgiveness!"
Mu Zhengliu hurriedly put down the teacup and said, "I dare not, but I dare. Lord Yu is the first priority in official affairs."
Yu Donghai raised his eyebrows keenly: "Is it really a blaming brother Yu for being so rude?"
Mu Zhengliu said, "Brother Yu, please sit down quickly."
When the two of them sat down, Yu Donghai told him about the letter he received from his master saying that the bandits in Huoyun Mountain were in chaos and had to leave early.
Mu Zhengliu had heard the scholar say these words, and after a little comfort, she said, "Have you ever encountered unusual things in the inn?"
Yu Donghai's hand holding tea paused slightly: "What is an unusual thing? By the way, I have never asked the widow Zong from Yangliu Hutong who is from and what is the relationship with Lord Liao?"
A sneer came from the door, and Su Shawei glanced at them, squatted at the door with sweet potatoes, and continued to eat.
Mu Zhenliu pretended not to see it, and smiled bitterly, "This is a long story." After that, he briefly said the assassination of Yangliu Hutong. Because he didn't know whether Yu Donghai knew Princess Qingheng's identity, he skipped it.
Yu Donghai was shocked: "The thief is so bold!"
Mu Zhengyue said: "Fortunately, there is something good."
Yu Donghai couldn't help but look at Su Sha for a few more times. It was really hard to imagine the person who ate sweet potatoes in front of him as an invincible master. He laughed dryly and said, "I feel relieved with Mr. Su Sha by my side. According to Brother Mu, the Widow in Yangliu Hutong is really not simple. Not only can he use many good players in the world, but he can also clear the streets. It is probably not done by ordinary people in the world."
Mu Zhengliu said, "Well, Lord Yu thinks?"
Yu Donghai looked at Su Sha well.
Su Sha licked the sweet potato on his fingers and stared at him sideways.
Yu Donghai said: "Brother Mu, I wonder if I can take a step to speak?"
Su Shawei narrowed her eyes and stood up slowly.
Mu Zhengliu stood up quickly, carried the teapot to him, blinked at him a few times, and said, "The tea is cold, please boil another pot."
Su Shawei glared at him and reluctantly carried the teapot to the kitchen.
Mu Zhengliu closed the door and turned around and said, "Brother Yu, please tell me."
Yu Donghai said: "It's not a big deal. I just heard what Brother Mu said, Mr. Susha and the assassin seemed to be old acquaintances. Perhaps, they could start from it and find out the identity of the assassin."
Mu Zhengliu said, "I asked, I met by chance and didn't know the other party's background."
Yu Donghai thought for a while and said, "Gutang Town is so dangerous. It seems that only by catching General Tang's power can we find out the truth." As he said that, he smiled bitterly, "There is Huoyun Mountain in front and Gutang Town behind. This Pingbo City has become a place for tigers and wolves with wolves in front and tigers behind."
Mu Zhengliu then comforted him a few words.
Yu Donghai stood up and said goodbye. Mu Zhenliu sent him out of the mansion. When he turned back, Su Sha stood at the gate of the yard and looked at him quietly.
Before he could ask, Mu Zhengliu took the initiative to say, "Mr. Yu wants to ask you if you know the identity of the assassin."
Su Sha said nicely, "I know. I also know that you lied to him and said that I had asked me. I met the man by chance, but I didn't know the details."
Mu Zhengliu nodded and was about to walk in when he grabbed his arm.
Su Sha said in a deep voice: "Why don't you ask me?"
Mu Zhengliu said: "You will naturally say it when you want to."
Su Sha curled his lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "That man once lived in seclusion in Qinglang Mountain."
Mu Zhengliu was stunned for a moment, and Su Sha turned his head and left.
Qinglang Mountain is located in Longchang Prefecture.
Longchang Prefecture is located in the northwest.
The northwest is the jurisdiction of the northwest king Jingchi.
Mu Zhengliu looked up at the sky.
The clouds have gradually dispersed.
Northwest Prince's Mansion.
There was one person in the upper part of the study, and the two of them sat on the left and right, each without saying a word, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"If you stop, you will suffer from chaos." The man in the left seat of the lower head clasped his fists and said, "What's more, his martial arts are enough to be rampant among thousands of troops, and he will not be hurt."
The right seat hurriedly said, "What the general of heaven says is very good, please think twice."
Jingchi got up and walked slowly to the window.
On the opposite side of Chi Xin Pavilion, a white dress leaned on the corner of the pavilion with serene satisfaction, looking down at the fish swimming in the pond from a high place, sprinkling a handful of broken rice from time to time, as if he could sense his gaze. The man in white turned his head, looked at him with all eyes, turned his head and smiled, and the sun and the moon lost its brightness.
Jing Chi was shocked and said, "Let's follow your wishes."
"yes!"
The two left the study room.
Jing Chi pressed the windowsill with both hands, and suddenly jumped out. He pointed his body gently on the lotus leaves in the pond, flew across the water like a wild geese, jumped onto the eaves of the pavilion, and smiled and said, "Climb up to look far. Looking at the royal palace here is indeed a different scene."
The man in white said, "Does the prince only see the prince's mansion?"
Jing Chi said: "What did you see?"
The man in white said: "The mountains and rivers of Dazhuang."
Jing Chi couldn't help laughing.
The man in white looked at him with an uncontrollable smile and said slowly: "Are you going to do something I won't agree but you must do?"
Jing Chi's laughter gradually stopped.
The man in white stood up and said calmly: "Since I don't want me to know, don't be discovered by me." After that, he stepped down the eaves of the pavilion.
Since Tang Chizhou went out to suppress bandits, Yu Donghai guarded the prefect's office all day long and rarely appeared in the military weapon bureau. Pingbo City suddenly became quiet.
The clues of the old commander's office were unable to be investigated when he arrived in Gutang Town. He has not yet figured out what the letter he sent to Shen Zhenghe meant. Mu Zhenliu could do now, but he could only calm down and rectify the Military Weapon Bureau. The Military Weapon Bureau has a lot of affairs. Fortunately, the two orders borrowed from Tang Chizhou and Yu Donghai could help, and they were orderly and reasonable for a while.
Ten days later, Tang Chizhou returned from a great victory.
Yu Donghai went out of the city to greet him, and the two of them spoke happily and entered the General's Mansion.
Mu Zhengliu got the news and laughed it off.
In the evening, under the guidance of two yamen runners who had protected Mu Zhenliu, Yu Donghai entered the official residence from the back door. Mu Zhenliu was walking into the living room with vegetables. When he saw him, he was stunned and said, "Mr. Yu?"
Yu Donghai looked down: "Why is it Lord Yu again?"
Mu Zhengliu smiled and said, "You are wearing an official robe, and you are powerful without anger. I will be restrained unconsciously."
Yu Donghai laughed and said, "Brother Mu will also tease Brother Yu!" He followed Mu Zheng into the house. When he saw Su Sha, his smile suddenly closed and said indifferently, "Young Master Su Sha."
Su Sha Niu grabbed the chopsticks and said with a smile: "You're a coincidence."
Mu Zhengliu greeted Yu Donghai for a meal.
Yu Donghai declined, "I have used it."
Mu Zhengliu brought the bowls and chopsticks, staring at Susha's nice wine pot.
Su Sha's smile froze and put the wine pot to his side.
Mu Zhengliu withdrew his gaze and said to Yu Donghai: "I'll go and make a pot of wine."
Su Shajie took the wine pot and slowly pushed it back.
Mu Zhengliu looked at him and couldn't help laughing. He was snorted coldly. "Brother Yu, please sit down. Please forgive me for being a simple meal and not being well-received."
Yu Donghai refused again, but he really refused, so he sat down. He came out of the General's Mansion, and the grain of rice had not yet entered, and he didn't notice the food. He smelled the fragrance of the vegetables and aroused his greed. He suddenly felt hungry. Seeing Mu Pin flowing chopsticks, he also moved. After eating 70 to 80% full, he put down his chopsticks.
Seeing that he let go, Mu Zhenliu also put it down and said, "Brother Yu is coming from the General's Mansion? I wonder if the bandits from Huoyun Mountain can be arrested and brought to justice?"
Yu Donghai smiled bitterly and said, "It's not easy. Since I took office, General Tang has attacked Huoyun Mountain for less than four times. He could catch a few people in the first two times. Later, the bandits became more and more talented. As long as there was a turbulence, they would hide in the deep mountains, making it impossible to see, touch, or find it."
Mu Zhengliu said: "Where do these bandits come from?"
Yu Donghai said: "At first, he was a gangster in nearby towns. Later, he joined the vicious thieves such as Green Forest thieves, imperial court criminals, and other vicious people, and established a Huoyun Village to fight against Pingbo City. Although Lord Tang drove them away again, he still treated the symptoms but not the root cause. However," he suddenly lowered his voice, "This time the bandit suppression was not completely unreal. The predecessors planted trees and the later generations enjoyed the cool air. Brother Mu must thank Lord Tang this time."
Mu Zhenliu looked confused.
Yu Donghai said: "Mr. Tang seized a weapon in Huoyun Village, with the 'Pingbo City Weapon Bureau' engraved on it."
Mu Zhenliu felt a change in her heart, and her face was also shocked: "How could this be?"
"Brother Mu, don't be impatient," Yu Donghai patted his hand, "Even if it is really from Pingbo City Weapons Bureau, it was a matter of many years ago. What does it have to do with you? The most urgent task is to transport them back and not fall back into the hands of those bandits."
Mu Zhengliu said: "Has Lord Tang not brought it back?"
Yu Donghai said: "Mr. Tang hopes that the Military Weapon Bureau will take over this batch of supplies and then allocate them to the General Office to avoid being unclear in the future. However, according to the laws of our dynasty, the Military Weapon Bureau will not transport weapons and local troops privately. I think that Master Tang's idea is not appropriate. It is best for the Military Weapon Bureau to transport the weapons back and hand them over to the court for disposal."
In other words, if the Military Weapon Bureau does not come forward, it will be difficult for others to deal with these weapons.
Mu Zhengliu said: "Brother Yu said so much."
Lord Yu said: "Although Lord Tang has sent thousands of troops in Huoyun Mountain, Huoyun Mountain is still a distance from Pingbo City and cannot stay for a long time. If Brother Mu is ready, he will transport the weapons back as soon as possible to avoid the bandits coming back."
