Chapter Three Hundred and Sixtieth Bandits Troubled

Zhu Biao was not in a very happy mood today. After all, acting requires a lot of effort. What's more, the original plan was suddenly disrupted by that old master Han Qi, which added a few twists and turns.

But it was really refreshing to see Mu Ying at this time. Zhu Biao greeted with a smile: "Sit down quickly. You have been working hard all the way, so I should let you go back home to rest first. If you have something to do, we will discuss it tomorrow. It's just that time does not wait for us.

, I will leave Beijing with my father early tomorrow morning, and there will be no time to explain some things by then."

Mu Ying couldn't say that she was dusty, but the fatigue on her brows was obvious. It was hard work to travel back and forth in the midsummer season. Mu Ying only heard this and asked: "As a foreign minister, I shouldn't have to ask about the affairs of the palace. I just have this afternoon."

We arrived at the inn outside the city. I thought it was getting dusk and I might as well go to the capital early tomorrow morning to report on my duties. However, I was shocked to hear that the Holy Emperor had fainted in grief because Liu Chun, the son of Marquis Yihui, had broken the law in the morning. So he rushed back to the capital regardless of day and night. I don't know what to do now.

Is the Holy Dragon's body in good condition?"

It's true that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. What happened in the morning today was even rumored in the inns outside the capital by the afternoon. However, it should also be the pro-military Governor's Mansion who added fuel to the flames.

Zhu Biao sat back on the chair and did not answer immediately. Liu Jin immediately led a group of palace maids and eunuchs out, knowing that what he said next was not suitable for these people to hear. After all, there were hardly any secrets in the palace.

After everyone had gone out, Zhu Biao said: "My father is in good health, but I just want to give an explanation to Marquis Xianyi Hui."

Mu Ying breathed a sigh of relief after confirming what he was thinking. On the way back to Beijing, he probably guessed it, but after all, it involved the dragon body. He couldn't rest at the inn due to emotions and reasons. Mu Ying sat aside.

He said from the Qilin chair: "That's good. Liu Chun's crimes are extremely heinous. The Holy One is always stern and unselfish towards corrupt officials, but now he fainted because of his grief. On the way, I heard that the people along the way praised the Holy One for his love and justice.

But they still hope to punish Liu Chun severely."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "My father always remembers the kindness of Xianyi Huihou. No matter what, he must go to Fengyang to worship before dealing with Liu Chun."

Mu Ying also sighed: "The Holy One has been extremely benevolent and righteous. When Liu Ying was working as a personal guard beside the Holy One, the Holy One took good care of him. Even if he made small mistakes, he never punished him harshly. He was always rewarded during every year and festival.

Even our adopted sons are jealous."

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Zhu Biao knocked on the chair and said: "A few days ago, Princess Kaiping came to plead for Lan Yu, saying that he was drunk all day long. If he continues like this, he will either die of drunkenness or hold it in.

I'm crazy, thinking that the Crown Princess is pregnant, I can't shirk it too much."

Speaking of Lan Yu, the devil incarnate, Mu Ying also frowned and sighed: "Before I left the capital on patrol, I went to talk to Lan Yu specifically and advised him to calm down and wait for the opportunity. Unexpectedly..."

Zhu Biao shook his head helplessly: "This guy Lan Yu is like this, but letting him out on his own may cause the trouble of beheading. I want you to be the main general and lead three thousand elites to sweep away the bandits in the territory.

River bandits and those cults that incited uprisings.”

Mu Ying thought for a while and said: "Both the bandits and the remnants of the cult are just a ragtag group of people hiding their heads and tail. I only need the cooperation of a thousand elites and the local government officials to wipe them out, but Lan Yu..."

As Mu Ying said, those are really nothing more than a mob. They are usually used by Xu Yungong, Chang Mao and other noble generals to lead troops to see blood. They can easily beat them to the point of running away, not to mention Mu Ying and Lan.

Yu, the two leading figures of the young generation in the Ming army, personally took action.

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said: "Lanyu is arrogant and disobedient. There are not many people who can convince him, and you are the only one among your peers. He is only a seventh-grade general now, so you can use him as a vanguard."

When Mu Ying saw that Zhu Biao had said this, she naturally would not refuse: "I accept the order and will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations. Lan Yu and I also have a friendship, and he can still listen to my words."

Zhu Biao felt much relieved after getting rid of a big trouble. Even though Lan Yu was usually right under his nose, Zhu Biao was also afraid that this bastard would suddenly do something speechless that day, and something would happen under the feet of the emperor of the capital.

Nothing is easy to solve.

Zhu Biao then talked about the goal of their patrol to suppress bandits this time. Nowadays, the situation in Ming Dynasty is getting better and better, business is gradually prospering, and the number of caravans traveling from south to north is also increasing day by day, but the risks on the way are too high.

Large-scale caravans are fine, but smaller ones don't dare to go out of the state capital to do business.

It is because there are too many mountain bandits and water bandits along the way, robbing the road for wealth and killing. Many small businessmen have lost all their money, and many more have even lost their lives. The local officials have turned a blind eye to this. After all, they are dead.

It's not like they were the people under their rule, not to mention the ones who died were merchants and the like, so it wasn't even worth bothering with.

Zhu Biao said: "The Jiangnan clan has a lot of business. If you need bait, you can discuss it with Chen Youzong, the general affairs envoy, and he will naturally make arrangements for you."

Mu Ying thought for a while and replied: "I have led others to do this robbery business earlier, but at that time, the robberies were all the military supplies of Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and others. Wherever the robbery is suitable, there may be mountain bandits hiding there. I

You can see at a glance that it is not difficult to destroy them as long as you are determined."

"What's more, most of the people who can turn into bandits are villains. As long as they are promised financial benefits, it is not difficult to control them. If there are traitors, they can be easily eliminated by cooperating inside and outside. In fact, if the local government is really serious, it is not impossible to eliminate them. I am afraid they are a little weak.

The petty officials accepted bribes from the bandits, and the government organized an organization to suppress the bandits and they reported the information, which allowed the bandits to become rampant to this day."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "This is the reason why I want you to go specifically. It's time to solve the scabies disease. After capturing the bandits, torture and extract confessions from the officials they colluded with, and then clarify the punishment together. Of course, you must pay attention."

During the review, you must not kill innocent people by mistake. If you let that guy Lan Yu make the decision, I'm afraid he could kill all the officials in the county government."

Mu Ying thought about it and couldn't help but smile. Lan Yu could indeed do it. Ordinary county officials were probably not even human beings in his eyes. It would not be surprising if they were killed for convenience.

"There is one more thing that I would like to ask your Highness for advice. Bandits are usually easy to deal with and can be punished clearly, but how to deal with those who are secretly acting as bandits? If they are killed, the censors will go crazy and impeach them again.

Zhu Biao was stunned and didn't understand. Is there any idea of ​​being a bandit in secret?

Mu Ying explained: "There is nothing to rely on in the remote villages. The people there cannot make a living by relying solely on men to farm and women to weave, so they have gone through many evil ways. Some foreign pedestrians and caravans accidentally enter the village and they will be killed at night."
