Zhan Beihan thought for a moment, then asked without answering: "Brother, did you find anything when you investigated Hulang Mountain before?"
"Why do you ask this?" the prince asked.
"Hanhan was taken away by assassins earlier, and the Forbidden Army caught two fake monks who set fire to him. Shen Wan personally interrogated them. They were both from Hulang Mountain and were pretended to be bandits."
The prince doesn't know these things yet. The situation last night was too chaotic.
He frowned: "Is this happening?"
Then he looked at Zhan Beihan: "Don't you suspect that Shen Wan is related to Nan Yan? She personally interrogated it, is it credible?"
Zhan Beihan said expressionlessly: "It's credible."
The prince looked at him helplessly: "Tell me, you tell me that Shen Wan is not trustworthy, and at the same time you believe in what she does. Does this make me believe her or not?"
Zhan Beihan frowned and said, "It's just a matter of fact. How can it be as complicated as you said, brother?"
"You..." The prince didn't know what to say.
As an outsider, he sometimes sees things more clearly than Zhan Beihan himself.
Don't look at what he keeps saying that he doesn't believe Shen Wan.
But in fact, he clearly did not doubt her on many things, but he insisted on speaking harshly, and the words he said were not pleasant to the ears.
No wonder the two people quarreled.
However, these were just trivial matters, and the prince did not say much and quickly returned to the topic.
"I was previously ordered by my father to handle the case of bandits in Hulang Mountain. I also communicated a lot with Mr. Jingzhao Yinzhao, and I did find some strange traces."
The prince said in a deep voice, "According to Jing Zhaoyin's investigation, Hulang Mountain is located on the outskirts of the capital. The terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also right at the entrance to the official road of the capital. It is an excellent military location."
"Because of this, the bandits in Hulang Mountain have been repeatedly suppressed, and they have been there since decades ago."
"The imperial court also sent troops to encircle and suppress the area many times, but within a few years of each time it was razed, new bandits would emerge, occupy the mountain as kings, and continue to harm the businessmen and people passing by on the official road."
Zhan Beihan nodded: "I have also heard of these things."
"But the strange thing is not here." The prince continued, "Master Zhao and I checked some records in the past and found that the bandits who used to be entrenched in Hulang Mountain only wanted to rob money, not kill people for fun."
"Although they rob caravans, they will not deliberately embarrass the merchants as long as they hand over the money honestly. They will turn a blind eye to the poor people passing by. There has never been any malicious killing of people."
Zhan Beihan's eyes darkened: "But the bandits now entrenched in Hulang Mountain not only rob wealth, but also kill people! No matter whether they are caravans, common people, or even officials in the DPRK, as long as they are passing by on the official road, they will not Let it go!”
The reason why the bandits of Hulang Mountain became a serious problem in the capital of Northern Qin was inseparable from their cruel methods.
If it was just a robbery of wealth and no loss of life, the court might not kill him.
However, they robbed caravans, killed passing people, and even kidnapped family members of passing officials. The men were tortured and killed, and the female family members were taken captive to the mountains and tortured to death by the bandits. Their mangled corpses were thrown on the official road, almost It scares people passing by crazy.
It can be said that he committed murder and arson, and his methods were extremely cruel.
This violated the imperial taboo!
"The reason why my father was so angry that he did not hesitate to mobilize the capital's defenders and ordered me to join forces with Jing Zhaoyin and nine cities to eradicate the dangers of Hulang Mountain." Hot 『』 This chapter has been completed!
