Qin Rushuang took the map around Qu County, and Wu Yong pointed out a shortcut.
"I discovered this road by accident. Entering the forest from here, you can go directly to a place about three miles away from the bandit village. No matter how close you are, you will encounter a sentry post. I have been to the sentry post, and I can see about
When it comes to situations seven or eight miles away, the route we take is more hidden, but we can still be discovered no matter how close we are."
"There are two factions in the village. One is the confidants of the leader, who are basically desperadoes. The other is more conservative, and most of them are common people who joined later."
Xie Xun asked carefully about the situation in the village, and the specific method of attack would probably have to be adjusted in the forest based on the situation.
Then the only ones left are the more troublesome master in the city and his group of people.
"Your Majesty, please take some people to suppress the bandits. I will take care of the matters in the city."
Qin Rushuang had a vague idea, and was about to explain to Xie Xun, but Xie Xun had already nodded and said: "Leave it to you and Ying Er, I will send a small team over."
Xie Xun did not ask Qin Rushuang for specific methods, but his words revealed trust.
Without further ado, Xie Xun led others to leave first.
Wu Yong had been untied, and when he walked outside the inn, women and children gathered around him with concern.
Although there were many people, everyone was in order.
There was a bit of reluctance and worry in Wu Yong's eyes, but he still managed to put on a reassuring smile: "Everyone, Wu is gone."
No one asked him what he was going to do, as if everyone knew what was coming.
Several children who were whispering to their mother were frightened into silence by the somewhat solemn atmosphere.
After Xie Xun left with Wu Yong and Ying Yi, a small army to support the city also came.
Qin Rushuang gathered people together and started making arrangements.
"Mr. Wu left some messages when he left. They are all here. Please take a look."
"Now we are divided into five teams, and each team chooses one person to lead the team."
Under Xie Xun, the Imperial City Army already had the demeanor of a border guard. Especially the team selected by Xie Xun was one of the best. They were quickly divided into five teams according to Qin Rushuang's arrangements.
"The team leader kept Mr. Wu's words in mind and went to look for the gangsters, beggars, street children, girls from brothels, and the stewards of the major gambling houses in the city, and get in touch with them."
"These people are the ones who know the situation in the city best. Even if the master's more than 300 people are rotated every day, and the people you contact are active in the city every day, they can probably catch nine out of ten, and the rest.
....."
Qin Rushuang took a deep breath, "For the rest of your hard work, brothers, please visit each house one by one. If you encounter anyone suspicious, subdue them immediately. If you resist, kill them on the spot!"
Qin Rushuang looked at the sky, calculated the time it would take Xie Xun to arrive at the military camp, and said, "No matter how many of Master's people are uncovered, we will meet at the inn in an hour."
"yes!"
Qin Rushuang was able to make such an arrangement, thanks to Wu Yong's early precautions against the master and his private contacts with some like-minded friends, most of whom were in the lower circles, well-connected and well-informed.
After ordering the soldiers, Ying Er was a little at a loss: "What about me? Princess, what can I do?"
"wait."
These five teams were very efficient and acted vigorously and quickly. After Qin Rushuang gave the order, they quickly dispersed.
Qin Rushuang poured herself a cup of tea and waited quietly.
An hour usually takes just one afternoon tea, but Qin Rushuang has never felt that this hour is so long.
An hour later.
The soldiers returned to the inn one after another, followed by many of the master's subordinates who had been subdued.
"Counting the number of people, how many were caught in total?"
"Back to the princess, there are 297 people in total. The leader has been tortured. The total number of people in this group is 300. The positions of the remaining three have not yet been determined!"
Qin Rushuang thought for a while and said, "I can't wait that long. You should interrogate them as soon as possible. You must interrogate the remaining three people!"
"yes!"
Qin Rushuang turned to Ying Er and said, "Follow me."
"Princess, where are we going?"
"The county magistrate's house, oh, no, it should be the master's house now."
The sooner the master's minions are wiped out, the better. Later, the master will definitely notice the clues. There are still three people missing, and she has to hold him back.
The county magistrate's original residence was not far from the inn. Qin Rushuang rode a horse and burned a stick of incense before arriving at the door.
"Princess, be careful, beware of fraud." Ying was very alert.
The prince entrusted the princess and the fetus to his protection, and he must protect the princess and the fetus.
"Are you sure our actions haven't reached Master yet?"
Ying Er nodded: "After everyone is caught, they will be under unified supervision. There will be no contact with outsiders. The master should not know yet."
Qin Rushuang took the first step and said, "Let's go then. Master should have been waiting for us for a long time."
Sure enough, as he approached, the servant waiting at the door opened the door without saying a word and made a "please" gesture.
Qin Rushuang asked: "Is your master still asleep?"
The servant said nothing, opened his mouth and pointed. Only then did Qin Rushuang realize that this man only had half a tongue.
The master's methods are indeed vicious.
Walking into the courtyard, an old voice rang out.
"I'm so lucky to have you, Princess Huai, personally come to visit me. I'm so happy!"
Qin Rushuang looked up and saw an old man with gray hair and beard standing in front of him.
If you just look at his appearance, it would be difficult for anyone to connect him with the initiator of the Quxian tragedy. He looks more like an old scholar.
However, Qin Rushuang always believed in one sentence.
You know people and their faces, but you don’t know their hearts.
Seeing that the master's attitude was so confident, Qin Rushuang's heart dropped.
It seemed that he really didn't know that his minions had caught him.
Qin Rushuang was invited into the inner room.
After a brief inspection, the decoration in this house is simple, even a little poor.
"What is the purpose of the princess's trip?" Master asked.
"Master, why bother beating around the bush? I'm afraid Master already knew about my visit to Qu County with the prince."
Seeing Qin Rushuang clarifying the matter, the master sighed: "Why should the prince and the princess have to fight each other so hard? Isn't it good to maintain the harmony on the surface? The weather in Qu County is going smoothly. This is a prosperous scene that many high-ranking people have dreamed of for a long time.
"
Qin Rushuang gave a sarcastic smile: "Is this a "prosperous age" built on the suffering of tens of thousands of people in Qu County? Don't even want this prosperous age!"
