Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 550 The Worries of Private Soldiers
However, there is a very difficult problem. Through Chen Wei and Lao Liu's temptations, these villages are not all private soldiers, but the people also have them. The private soldiers may have spread to the villages and merged with the people. I want to identify them one by one. , is extremely difficult.

Especially after so many years, some of the aborigines in these villages have married these soldiers and thieves, I am afraid they will not expose these people at all.

If you want to find out, you will have a headache.

Even so, Cao De had no choice but to admire: "Break the whole into pieces, the Xue family is a little bit capable, and even deceived my uncle, it is not in vain for Master Fei to suffer this crime."

He could think of this good way to hide private soldiers.

Chen Wei and the others took it for granted.

Such scattered villages are really hard to find. Even if they passed by here, no one would think too much about being driven away. At most, they think that the people here are more fierce. No one will pay attention to the people who pass by, who has time to care about the livelihood of the village.

"Chen Wei, we're back in Beijing..." Cao De turned to look at Chen Wei, ready to give orders.

However, seeing Chen Wei's sloppy body and stench, his eyes hurt from seeing him, and his face was very disgusted.

"..." Chen Wei automatically walked a few steps away, and then said, "Master Patriarch, what are your orders?"

Cao De didn't say any more: "This time I was able to gain something, thanks to those two people. When you go back to Beijing and find them, just say that this nomination certificate is acceptable. These days, Chen Fa should have found out the two people If you haven't found out the details, then you can ask them directly, if they don't say anything, or if there are loopholes in their words, they will be arrested and locked up until the master comes back."

Now that such a person has been met, he must either become one of his own, or get rid of it directly, and must not flow outside, but he is willing to give him one more chance to recruit himself.

Chen Fa is Chen Wei's twin brother. Originally, Chen Wei would stay in Beijing this time, but in the end Cao De changed his mind and took Chen Wei with him, leaving Chen Fa behind.

"Yes, Master Patriarch." Chen Wei knew who Cao De was talking about, but what did Master Patriarch mean?
He couldn't help asking: "Patriarch, do you want your subordinates to go back?"

Cao De nodded: "Well, the matter is very important, you go back and report the letter to Yuchi personally...Long Live Lord, I will not write the letter, in case you are arrested and miss the important event."

The words of the patriarch are so true, Chen Wei is in a complicated mood: "Yes..."

Cao De indicated that he would take the map to him. He made a secret mark on the map, handed the map to Chen Wei, and explained a sentence to submit:
"There are more than ten thousand rats, and the exact number needs to be ascertained. They live together with the common people, and it may be difficult to distinguish them. If they are all killed, there will be no future troubles."

Chen Wei took the order, took his own luggage, left quickly, and returned to Beijing.

Cao De looked at the village in the distance, his eyes showing a trace of solemnity.

It is extremely difficult for private soldiers who can be broken into parts, hidden among the people, and maintain their combat effectiveness.

Xue Ping, an old thief, has been plotting for a long time, and has long held back.

This location is chosen for its unique geographical location. It enters Koryo in the east, Tatar in the west, and slaves and cadres in the north. Whenever there is a rumor or they are wiped out, these private soldiers can flee to other countries. Jianzhou Wei is not far away from this place. Nearly, it may not be easy to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

At the same time, it is not far from Beijing, and it will take a few days to arrive in a hurry.

There is also the problem of living together with the common people and making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Killing them all can be done once and for all, but it may kill the people by mistake. If they are screened one by one, there may be changes and delay the opportunity.

It is difficult to have the best of both worlds.

Yu Chizhao, how would you choose?

Cao De was deeply worried for the emperor. According to his idea, he dispatched soldiers and horses to surround all these villages, and killed all the middle-aged men. count innocent.

But there are too many disadvantages in this way, Yu Chizhao should not do this, nor would he choose this path.

Let Yu Chizhao deal with these tricky matters.

What he can do is to stay here, find out the villages in this area where soldiers are mixed up, and determine the number of soldiers, so that Yu Chizhao can make complete preparations.

While Cao De was worried, the slaves in the harem in the capital were worried, and the masters of all palaces and halls also avoided their sharp edge and lived in seclusion.

in the capital.

A huge storm is coming, slowly sweeping away from the harem towards the front.

In the harem, one of the five servants was arrested and interrogated, and the interrogation was done urgently and later.

Zhang Qing took the archives of the classics and called the remaining servants who had not been arrested one by one to roll their names, and searched the details of each servant. Some of them could not tell their origins clearly or looked hesitant, and they were thrown into prison on the spot. Weird, write down the name and go.

This posture, like wanting to turn over the entire harem, all the servants have to turn over.

There was a young eunuch from the Hall of Stars who hurried out of the Canglan Courtyard to convey the will of Lord Long Live to the waiting ministers.

Commander Han, who supervised the examination, had already returned with the reexamination paper of Xie Yuan from Taiyuan Prefecture, and asked to see the Lord Long Live.

The little eunuch came here to report the matter, but Lord Long Live ordered that the examination papers be temporarily sealed and placed on the imperial case, and at the same time Lord Long Live did not see anyone, and told them all to go back and not enter the palace without incident.

There was a major event in the palace, and it was expected that Long Live Lord would not be there at this time, and the little eunuch understood it very well.

But the old man in the Ministry of Rites is highly respected and difficult to deal with, and Mr. Zhang is too busy to touch the ground and has no time to take care of this matter. He has a headache as to how to get rid of that man.

What the little eunuch didn't expect was that this time the Minister of Rites listened to his words, pondered for a moment, and left immediately without making any troubles at all. The rest of the people followed suit, which made him greatly relieved.

The imperial prison was almost overcrowded, and the people in charge of the punishment department were busy.

Dongxue and Xia Liu are the ones who handle the bird’s nest and soup cups, and they are in the Canglan Courtyard, and they belong to Madam Qi. The maids who come out of the Hall of Stars enjoy special preferential treatment, and they are given Ji Yunlai and the punishment. Zhou Yong, deputy director of the department, personally interrogated him.

Ji Yunlai interrogated Xia Liu over and over again. Although the court lady was flustered, she insisted that she did not commit a crime. No matter how frightened she was, she was almost tortured, she still gritted her teeth and insisted that she did not commit a crime.

He turned to ask about the bird's nest fraudulently. Xia Liu still said that there is no problem with the bird's nest. If there is a problem, it is the problem of the imperial dining room. She got it from the imperial dining room. There are records, witnesses and so on. Clearly.

Ji Yunlai knew that there was nothing wrong with the bird's nest, and Xia Liu's questioning seemed to be okay, but he always felt that Xia Liu was hiding something.

At this moment, Zhou Yong came to report, leaned into Ji Yunlai's ear, and whispered a few words.
