Finally, Chu Yunfei said: "Take out some of the money to buy some rice and noodles, and give it to the poor families inside and outside the county. No matter what, we have to let them survive this winter."
With that said, Chu Yunfei stood up and sighed softly, I am too tired now? For such a small matter, I have to explain it in such detail. It seems that there is still a lack of talents around me!
After he explained these things clearly, he let Ma Shumou handle it on his own.
However, he found Meng Feiwu and learned about the situation in Lu'an County in detail. After all, Meng Feiwu was considered a local snake. Chu Yunfei was so angry today that he almost killed Uncle Wang. He was afraid for a while that if he killed him
, then wouldn’t there be one less tiger general on Wagang Mountain? It seems that we need to know more about the situation before we can take action.
Meng Feiwu witnessed Chu Yunfei's thunderbolt methods today, and Chu Yunfei captured Wang Lu, which avenged half of his blood revenge. He felt grateful and told Chu Yunfei the situation in Lu'an in detail.
Chu Yunfei nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Lu'an County is a big county. The people were originally rich and lived in peace and contentment. The original county magistrate was not so greedy. Later, the Sui army went south. After Chen was defeated, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty sent Cui Changren to take office as the governor of Yangzhou. Listen
After Cui Changren came over, he immediately clearly marked the price. Each official position had a different price, so various places responded. Wang Lu donated money to get an official position. Since he took office, this guy immediately began to collect various kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The local wealthy gentry
He did not dare to move, and specifically targeted the poor and powerless people. This made people angry, but the people in Lu'an area fled the country one after another, and thieves broke out one after another.
Hearing this, Chu Yunfei interrupted him and said, "Are there any other thieves that are more rampant in Lu'an County?"
Meng Feiwu thought for a while and said: "There are dozens of big and small thieves in Lu'an County, but most of them are small groups of bandits. Most of them are common people. It is not a cause for concern. As long as the prince of Jin implements benevolent government and appeases them, he will give them
If you don't forgive others for their crimes in your own land, the bandits will naturally fall apart."
Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "Of course it's best to do this. I've asked Uncle Ma to collect some money. I'll post the notice later to recruit the bandits. If the army is in danger and the war is in danger, of course it will be possible to defeat the bandits without using swords and guns.
It’s the best.”
Meng Feiwu nodded and said: "Prince Jin, you take the safety of the people of the world as your own responsibility. This is the blessing of the people of Jianghuai. However, there is a rogue bandit running rampant in Lu'an County, and I am afraid they may not be willing to listen to Prince Jin's orders."
Chu Yunfei hummed and said, "Are there such rogue bandits?"
Meng Feiwu nodded and said: "Yes, Prince Jin. It is said that the number of these bandits is only two thousand, but these people were born as horse thieves. The leader of the bandits is called Lone Wolf Fan Qing. He is ruthless and does all kinds of evil! We bandits usually only rob
With some money, he would not hurt people easily unless he had to, but this was not the case with Fan Qing. After robbing money and sex, he would kill people and set fire, destroy the corpses and wipe out traces, and then escape immediately. During the Nanchen period, General Qin Yi wanted to destroy
This living bandit, Fan Qing, is cunning and cunning. General Qin Yi surrounded him several times but never caught him."
Chu Yunfei frowned. He didn't expect that Fan Qing would be able to escape from Qin Yi's hands.
He asked: "So, this Fan Qing's ability is very high?"
Meng Feiwu shook his head and said: "As for Fan Qing's ability, it's not necessarily that brilliant. However, this man is cunning and vicious. He will escape immediately after a blow. When the wind is tight, he will not take action. When the wind is loose, he will not take action.
, this guy's cavalry will attack immediately, and the timing is very good."
Chu Yunfei nodded and then asked: "Where do these horse thieves usually hang out?"
Meng Feiwu said: "They often appear around Lu'an County, but I heard that they also have footprints in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I still think that their base is actually around Lu'an County.
Chu Yunfei sighed and said, "The whereabouts of this group of horse thieves are uncertain, and we don't have much time. I'm afraid we might be in a bit of a dilemma."
In fact, these horse thieves are not difficult to deal with, but the difficulty is that they are erratic and have no fixed place. When the Sui army was in Lu'an County, as long as the enemy did not come out to commit crimes, Chu Yunfei would have no place to find them.
Meng Feiwu nodded and said: "Prince Jin, you are right, but it will be a severe winter soon. The horse thieves must want to save some winter food. Maybe this group of horse thieves will come out."
Chu Yunfei asked with some confusion: "Save food? Don't these horse thieves usually save food?"
Meng Feiwu smiled and said: "The biggest advantage of the horse thieves is that they do not have a fixed territory, but this is also their biggest disadvantage. Without a chassis, they cannot store too much food. Moreover, I heard that Fan Qing is lavish and lustful.
, the number of women he robbed was hundreds, and he had 2,000 men, so food became their fatal enemy."
Chu Yunfei nodded and pondered silently. If these gang of horse thieves came out, he might be able to eliminate this great harm for the people. However, it was obviously not a good idea to wait here and wait.
Seeing that he was silent, Meng Feiwu knew that Chu Yunfei was in trouble, so he smiled and said: "Prince Jin, this group of horse thieves has been around for a long time, at least five years, and we are not in a hurry."
Chu Yunfei smiled: "That's right. There are many such horse thieves in the world, and we can't control them so much. Okay, I've written this down. Are there any other large groups of bandits?"
Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei smiled and suddenly remembered that Meng Feiwu was once a horse thief. What he said was a bit inappropriate.
Meng Feiwu didn't pay much attention. He thought for a while and said: "In the past six months, there has been a bandit that has become very famous. It is said that it is a group of female bandits. I heard that the bandit leaders are two girls and they are all female soldiers. The number is between four and five hundred people.
They are nicknamed Feihongjin. However, this group of bandits has a good reputation for robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Other than that, there seems to be no other bandits who have become popular."
Chu Yunfei was a little surprised: "Female bandit?"
It seems that I have never heard of female bandits in the Sui Dynasty in novels? Two female bandit leaders?
Meng Feiwu nodded and said: "Yes, I have never heard of it before. They just came out recently. I heard that these female bandits had a conflict with Fan Qing's horse thieves a few days ago. As for the specific situation, I don't know.
.”
Chu Yunfei nodded. He knew that Meng Feiwu was a bandit, and in his mind, he had never recognized his identity as a bandit. Moreover, in just three or four months, he had become famous, and his followers
Over 10,000, which shows that Meng Feiwu is highly capable and it is normal for him to have little contact with these two groups of horse thieves.
