"What do you think we should do?" Liu Ce looked up at Chen Xiaobei.
"Miss Liu wrote you a letter before she left. I believe there will be arrangements. You can read the letter first and we will discuss it more."
Liu Ce nodded and turned around, shouting to the soldiers behind him, "After entering the village, you are not allowed to disturb the people. Everything must be obeyed."
Although the two thousand people seemed to be a large number, they were well organized. Each of them began to look for a place to stay in the village in twos and threes. Liu Ce hurriedly came to the place where Liu Rumei once lived.
When there was a guard, he showed him the letter Liu Rumei left.
The letter was written very concisely. He briefly explained the matter of taking people to find the prince, and then asked Liu Ce to discuss anything with Chen Xiaobei.
After Liu Zhi thought about it, he also understood what Liu Rumei meant and asked him to discuss it with Chen Xiaobei. To put it bluntly, Liu Rumei did not intend to let him lead the team to find the prince.
But if we don't go to the prince, what should we do with these two thousand people? It's a bit tricky.
After much deliberation, he decided to follow Liu Rumei's arrangement and come to Chen Xiaobei again to discuss countermeasures.
After listening to Liu Ce's account, Chen Xiaobei also roughly understood that bringing more than two thousand people to the front line was indeed an unstable factor. If they had the idea of returning to Zhu Meng again, wouldn't it be a problem?
It has the opposite effect, so Liu Rumei’s idea is right.
But how to arrange these two thousand people?
"The best way is to spread out the people, divide some of them, and temporarily live in the garrison camp in Qingniu County. There are a thousand people in the Qingniu County garrison. You send a thousand people there. The strength of both sides is basically the same, and they are also
It won’t make any waves.”
"They left a thousand people behind, and you also have a thousand people. When the chain bridge is restored, they can be sent up the mountain to help transport supplies down."
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's suggestion, Liu Ce admired him even more and had to say that this was a good idea.
First, let the two thousand people be divided into two groups, one group will go to the county town to hide for a while, and the other group will wait for the transportation of supplies.
I believe that these people transporting supplies will definitely envy those who are hiding out in the city.
So after a while, let them go to the county seat, and they will be grateful.
Therefore, there will be an emotional confrontation with the people in the county. As long as they are not united internally, there will naturally be no threat.
Thinking of this, he gave Chen Xiaobei a thumbs up, "What a great idea. It's really a brilliant idea to divide them up and treat them."
Liu Ce sent someone to deliver a message to Hu Fan overnight, asking him to prepare and send troops there the next day.
Hearing that a thousand soldiers would be received the next day, Hu Fan felt a little uneasy. After all, these were Zhu Meng's rebels.
Master Mao You was even more worried, "Hu County Magistrate, I am worried about this matter. Our garrison has a full strength of one thousand people, but it has neglected training. It is incomparable with Zhu Meng's army. This will really cause trouble for the other side."
If something goes wrong, we're afraid..."
Hu Fan sighed, "Yes, that's what he said, but before the prince left, he specifically asked us to obey Liu Rumei's arrangements. Now she is sending someone here, and we have to listen even if we don't."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and sighed heavily again.
And at this moment Xiaojia Town.
Cui Dana finally got the news, saying that Cui San and his concubine Chunxiang had been taken away by the county government for two days, but there was no news. When he went to inquire about the news, he was rejected, saying that he did not know where they were.
.
After hearing these words, Dana Cui shook his head and sighed.
The son Cui Shilun next to him was very surprised when he saw it, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep sighing?"
Cui Dana looked at his son and sighed, "This is my fault. I wanted to deal with Chen Xiaobei, so I asked Aunt Chunxiang to sacrifice her face and set a trap for Cui Fugui."
"I wanted Cui Fugui to admit the adultery, so that I could use this to catch Chen Xiaobei in the future."
"But not only Cui San and Chunxiang were taken to the county government office, Cui Dahai was also taken away."
"Dad, what does Uncle Hai have to do with this matter?"
Cui Dana sighed, "On weekdays, our family has no contact with Cui Fugui, so an acquaintance must come forward. Your Uncle Dahai has a lot of contact with Cui Fugui, so we asked him to do this."
Hearing this, Cui Shilun showed a hint of bitterness on his face.
"If you want to put it that way, then your plan has probably been discovered by others."
"This Cui San has gone to the county government. If he stops talking nonsense, he might still be saved. If he falsely accuses others, I'm afraid he will be in big trouble."
Cui Dana's expression became a little uneasy, "If Cui San really talks too much, I'm afraid your father will also be involved. After all, I asked Chunxiang to do it."
"Dad, just to be on the safe side, you'd better go out and hide. Bring a few more taels of silver with you tomorrow morning and go to Wannian City to relax. You'll come back after a few months when the weather calms down."
A smile finally appeared on Cui Dana's face, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll leave the affairs here to you."
That night, after dinner, Hu Fan was reading a book. He Dali hurriedly walked in and said, "Sir, Hu Dana's concubine Chunxiang is crying and shouting that she wants to see you. She said that if you don't see you, you will die.
In jail."
After hearing what He Dali said, Hu Fan frowned. He originally wanted to wait until tomorrow, but now it seems that Chunxiang has collapsed.
"Okay, then bring her over. I want to hear what she has to say."
Soon the disheveled Chunxiang was brought into Hu Fan's study.
Hu Fan also had his own considerations as to why he chose to meet Chunxiang in the study. Chen Xiaobei was doing this in private and did not want to go to court, that is, he did not want to make a big fuss.
"Chunxiang, do you know why I locked you up?" Hu Fan got straight to the point.
Chunxiang kowtowed respectfully and said with a cry, "Master Qingtian, I was wronged because it was arranged by my master. He wanted me to sleep next to Cui Fugui. After he woke up, there was a burst of crying
He made a fuss and said that as long as he did this, he would reward me with three hundred taels of silver."
Fortunately, Chen Xiaobei was not here. If Chen Xiaobei were here, he would have cursed him endlessly. Cui Dana is really a talent. No wonder he insisted that Cui Fugui pay three hundred taels of silver.
Hu Fan did not speak, but looked at He Dali.
He Dali understood the idea carefully and placed pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the ground.
"Chunxiang, write down everything you said, sign it, and then you can go back."
Chunxiang was naturally happy when she heard that she could go back. She wrote down the whole story exactly.
After you finished writing, you signed your name and pressed your thumbprint.
After everything was done, Hu Fan looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Chunxiang, I would like to advise you again, people are good people. I really want to pursue your case. You are making false accusations, and you will be prosecuted.
of."
"Chunxiang remembers it, Chunxiang will never dare to do it again."
Hu Fan waved his hand, Chunxiang thanked her and left.
"He arrests the head, what is the situation of the other two people?"
