While Yu Gao and others were standing in front of the tree in amazement, the government offices of the five counties were already trembling.
At three quarters of noon, five teams of secret guards dressed in Yiluan officer uniforms rushed into the government office. The leader Qianhu's token flashed and he said coldly:
"The Yiluan Division is following the imperial concubine's orders to capture key criminals, and those who resist will be killed on the spot!"
After hearing this, everyone in the government office changed their expressions, especially the masters and junior officials who stayed behind in the government office. They almost immediately wanted to call out and ask the government officials to stop these Yiluan guards.
Because they clearly saw the owl patterns on the backs of these people's necks, they knew that these were definitely not real Yiluan guards.
Even if they were, those of them who wear the same pants as their own adults would probably end up having their homes confiscated and beheaded.
After all, the adults are the principal culprits, and they are the accomplices. Now the adults still don’t know if they are against the imperial concubine?
Have they already lost?
The master and the officials were beating drums in their hearts, but they were not slow at all in calling people.
However, the government servants who dominate the prefectures, counties and villages are no match for these Yiluan guards.
It went up, but everyone who went up fell down.
"Big, bold! We are the officials of the imperial court, how can you little owl tribe..."
Before the arrogant master could finish speaking, someone hit him in the stomach with the hilt of a sword. The pain was so painful that he almost vomited out the lunch he had just eaten.
Seeing that he was treated like this, those government officials who had not yet stepped forward did not dare to make any mistakes. Their legs softened and they knelt directly in front of the Yiluansi masters, trembling and holding their heads.
Even though Yiluan Division has been in decline for many years in Beijing, in the eyes of ordinary people in these places, it is still a nightmare for high-ranking officials.
"All the officials were bound and immediately taken to the downtown area for public display!"
"yes!"
In the evening when the heat was fading, Xiao Xiruo and Chu Jiaojiao were sitting in Sujun's courtyard enjoying the scenery and eating.
Fresh lotus roots, fresh water chestnuts, lychees and peaches, as well as Xiao Xiruo’s specially made sour plum soup to relieve summer heat, and fruit shaved ice that Chu Jiaojiao can eat herself but cannot.
There was a sudden rain and the lake was full of beautiful scenery. When it came to maintaining health, Xiao Xiruo felt that she, who was drinking wolfberry, red dates and chrysanthemum tea at this moment, should be considered a leader.
"My Lady, all the governor's offices of the five counties have been captured. All the officials in the mansion have been tied up and shown to the public, and the people in the mansion are asked to report their crimes. In addition, there are people who have escaped from the governor's office, but the escapees have been secretly detained."
Wen Susu placed a bowl of medicinal porridge in front of Xiao Xiruo. It was more like chatting than reporting official business.
"No wonder your Majesty wants to lure the snake out of its hole. It turns out that you want to seize their lair without any effort and directly cut off their retreat."
Before today, Wen Susu was also curious about why their empress knew what these people were plotting, but still let them go.
Obviously they have a lot of people in the mortal world, so it is not difficult to make things impossible for these people.
Now she understood that it turned out that their empress wanted them to simply take over the five county offices in order to avoid unnecessary losses.
After all, both the county governor and the governor are not here. Those little fish and shrimps want to resist, but they don’t have the backbone.
Who allowed their master to be greedy and suspicious, and keep all his strength firmly in his own hands?
Thinking of this, Wen Susu couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Your Majesty, this plan is very clever, my subordinates are very moved!"
She praised her so sincerely. I think the lady who is unhappy because of her illness can relax and be happy, right?
Then she saw her mother-in-law drinking porridge and looking at her with confusion.
At that moment, she even felt that the other party didn't understand what she was saying at all and needed her to say it again.
Well, didn’t Xiao Xiruo just not understand?
Is she doing this to make it easier to catch her?
Wouldn't it be easier for her to just send people to where they were gathering and cut them all down?
The group of people given by Ayan are no good at killing people faster than anyone else!
But what’s the use of directly killing these people?
Can a dead person hate her?
No way!
So for the sake of the sustainable development of the hatred value, and for the constant supply of Shiquan Dabu Pills to cure the plague, couldn't she raise some guinea pigs?
It just so happens that this group of people is extremely evil, everyone is bad, and everyone will excuse themselves and leave the problem to others.
So, what can she do if she is so squeezed by patients and anti-epidemic personnel that she can’t get enough of it?
It's not just a matter of reluctantly sparing these people's lives and raising them like blood packs.
Hey, who told her that she has been helping the world and fighting corruption recently, and her reputation among the people is getting better and better?
It is said that several counties have begun to secretly worship the White Lotus Immortal and ask the Immortal to bless them...
Xiao Xiruo lowered his eyes and coughed twice, not knowing how to explain to Wen Susu, but finally said mysteriously:
"It's just a small plan, a small plan..."
At the same time, in the suburbs of Su County, all the officials who had received the news from the government were looking pale, especially Yu Gao, who almost thought he had won.
Who would have thought that a person like the little imperial concubine would dare to play tricks with them to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
"Damn it! So what if the governor's mansion of the five counties is occupied? Now that we have no way out, we might as well fight back to the relatively safe Qin County and seize one place first!"
"That is, we have three thousand soldiers and horses, why are we still afraid of a few Yiluan guards?"
"Kill back!"
…
Several county guards had different opinions, but Yu Gao and Fan Lin looked at each other, shook their heads and said:
"At this time, when we return to the county, we can't catch the Yiluan guards, and we can't find out where the imperial concubine is. On the contrary, the fact that the imperial concubine can capture the governor's mansion and the governor's mansion of the five counties so quickly shows that she has good intelligence.
There are many who can control our movements at any time..."
"So what? I have been rooted in Qinjun for many years, so don't I know Qinjun as well as she does?"
The governor of Qin County's voice gradually became colder, and he no longer had any fear of this noble concubine who was trying to kill everyone.
He is his disciple first and then himself, so what’s the point of being patient? It’s not a dead word!
"No." Yu Gao sighed: "She doesn't understand Qin County, but there are many people in the court who do. She is a noble concubine, does she still need to fight and siege the city by herself?"
Yu Gao's question obviously disturbed the governor of Qin County, so that everyone who was excited quickly became quiet.
"Whether it is Qin County, Su County, or the other three counties, the county is all flat and smooth, allowing soldiers and horses to march straight into it. Don't forget who the imperial concubine's father and brother are. Even if those two don't come to help the imperial concubine, the Xiao family will
There are so many generals who can capture Fucheng. We can get a short period of peace when we return to Fucheng, but in fact? We are just changing places to wait to die!"
Yu Gao moves it with emotion, and understands it with reason:
"Unless we know where the imperial concubine is, we can capture her in advance. But we don't know, so these five counties must not return. Listen to me, what we should do now is not to fight head-on, but to find a place where we can rest and recuperate.
