Han Yunshen did not deliberately hide his identity. He directly took out the token he had with him and handed it to the government officials at the door. They immediately knew what to do.
"A Shen, will our whereabouts be leaked? The Red Lotus Sect hasn't solved the problem yet."
"I think the Red Lotus Sect will still contact us. For such a large sect, the disappearance of one or two people will only be regarded as apostasy."
It is much more lethal than the Red Lotus Sect here. If it cannot be eliminated, large-scale killings are likely to occur, and the Japanese will land.
By then, Danzhou City will be the first to fall, and I am afraid that all countries will take action at the same time.
"Sir, please come inside. The prefect is already waiting for you in the hall."
Han Yunshen and others were all wearing tight-fitting black training clothes and curtains, so people outside could not see his appearance.
"Master Zhang, you are well."
Magistrate Zhang suddenly raised his head to look at the person who came, immediately stood up and walked forward quickly, quickly closed the door and knelt down on one knee.
"See you, my lord!"
"Get up." Han Yunshen sat at the front of the table very naturally, while Mr. Zhang stood below him respectfully like a subordinate.
"Do you know each other?" Su Yining didn't expect that this person and Han Yunshen were old acquaintances. This gesture seemed a bit like a subordinate.
Mr. Zhang bowed to Su Yining and saluted: "This must be Princess Jiahe! You are so polite as a subordinate."
"You don't know something. Although I am a civil servant, I have served under the prince for many years. My current official position was also recommended by the prince."
Su Yining suddenly realized that no wonder Han Yunshen was absolutely sure that he could get the geographical map and strategic defense map here.
"I see, Mr. Zhang, we are here this time to ask for your help."
"Princess, you are so polite. You can do anything but do anything!" Mr. Zhang was very polite. He patted his chest and said, "If the prince has something to do, it's just a matter of words, isn't it?"
"The king needs a geographical map and a strategic defense map of Danzhou. Recently, the king discovered that a group of Japanese pirates landed ashore and were hiding near the pirate cave. It would be fine if we could find a guide to take us there."
Mr. Zhang suddenly understood and agreed, with a smile on his face like a friend he had not seen for a long time: "Your Majesty, such a small matter can be done quickly, but you need to wait for two days, guide."
"It's like this. The squad leader from the yamen hasn't come back yet. He followed when the pirates were wiped out. He is the most familiar with it. Outsiders only know the location, but they don't know the internal structure."
"My lord, please wait a moment, my subordinate will get you a map right now!"
Mr. Zhang hurriedly bowed and walked quickly to the door. After greeting the Yamen servants for tea and snacks, he went to the study room of the Hou Yamen.
"Ah Shen, this prefect is not bad, and his work efficiency is quite fast. We should prepare for it in the past few days."
Han Yunshen also agreed very much with Su Yining's words and even talked about what happened to him in the military camp.
Time passed quickly, and soon Mr. Zhang came back with two boxes in his hands.
"Look, Your Majesty, this is the map you want."
"Well... I would like to ask you, how many people will you bring this time? Do you need to mobilize troops? Is there a shortage of food?"
Han Yunshen gave him a cold look: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. We will prepare these ourselves."
Even though he was reprimanded, Mr. Zhang did not feel displeased at all. Instead, he happily greeted his servants to prepare meals.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but I have overstepped my bounds. Why don't we have a casual meal here after a long time?"
Han Yunshen had no intention of eating, so he picked up the map in his hand and stood up to leave.
"No need, I still have something to do. The guide will come back in two days and go to Fulai Inn to find me."
Mr. Zhang immediately stood up to see him off with a respectful and humble attitude: "I send you off to the prince. If you have anything to do, just send someone to tell me."
It wasn't until Han Yunshen's figure disappeared from sight that he stood up slowly, smiling like a knife with his fox eyes.
He sat at the table and took a sip of tea, squinting his fox eyes and wondering what he was thinking.
In the past two days, Su Yining was not idle either. He purchased a large amount of grain and seafood, as well as various dried fish and kelp in Danzhou City.
Two days later.
The guide is back.
"Your Majesty, this is Jiang He, the leader of the Yamen team. He is a little familiar with the Pirate Cave."
Mr. Zhang still has a smiling face, and his fox eyes seem to be unable to be opened, they are always squinted.
Jiang He is of medium build, and his appearance cannot be said to be very good-looking. He is in his forties and looks serious and fierce.
"My subordinate Jiang He meets the prince and princess."
Han Yun looked at him deeply for a long time and said: "Are you very familiar with the pirate cave?"
"Replying to the prince, I am not very familiar with it. I followed it there during the bandit suppression, and I know some of the road sections quite well. It has been abandoned for a long time, and there are reports of being haunted from time to time, so no one goes there."
Jiang He doesn't exaggerate or be complacent, and he always leaves some room for words. It can be seen that he is a very smooth person.
Mr. Zhang laughed and laughed: "Haha, this Jiang He is like this. He always leaves a third of margin when doing things. He is the person who is most familiar with the pirate cave among us."
Su Yining suddenly asked: "What about the other people? There must be quite a few people participating in the suppression of bandits."
When he asked this question, the atmosphere in the room suddenly solidified, and all the government officials did not dare to express their anger.
At this time, Master Zhang said two words coldly: "Dead."
"Dead?" Su Yining exclaimed, how could they all be dead? Even Han Yunshen's face became serious.
Mr. Zhang sighed: "My lord, you don't know something. It took more than ten thousand people to encircle and suppress the pirate cave. Do you know how many soldiers died?"
Han Yun frowned deeply and said in a cold voice: "It's just a pirate. How can he still have a lot of casualties after using so many officers and soldiers?"
The main reason is that the court did not know about this matter. Who concealed it?
Mr. Zhang sighed heavily: "Your Majesty, it was King Lao Li who sent troops to the rescue back then. The lower official had just taken office at that time. The specific operations were handled by the old prefect."
"I only know that the sea was dyed red with blood..."
A trace of fear appeared on Jiang He's fierce face: "Those pirates are very powerful. They use hidden weapons and poisonous smoke. They use all kinds of tricks."
"When we received the intelligence at that time, it was said that there were only a few hundred pirates, so when the first group of people went up, there were a thousand people, but we didn't expect that they were all wiped out."
"Later, the second group, the third group, and groups of people entered the cave and never came out. What came out were only corpses."
"Then it was my turn. I entered with a few buddies and found that the inside was not as expected."
"There are caves everywhere, extending in all directions, and it's hard to guard against the pirates' attacks."
Jiang He didn't know how he escaped at the time. The blood in his eyes was all red, and he himself was dyed red by the blood.
Finally, King Lao Li used the most vicious move, fire attack!
A large amount of kerosene was pushed into the pirate cave, and then troops were sent to surround the entire island, using a large amount of kerosene to bake the cave every day.
Until three months later...
The pirate cave with constant high temperature turned into a steamer. Without food or drink, the pirates drank themselves to death and starved to death.
The corpses were roasted into mummies, and their faces were very hideous.
