A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 393 Chapter 393 Chishui Female Bandit

Seeing this, Gao Yanzong quickly moved in front of Yuan Wuyou, holding the scabbard on his waist with one hand as a guard, and squinting at Lao Li opposite him.

When Lao Li saw this, he couldn't help but laugh so hard that his white beard trembled.
"Hahaha... What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Why does his son, the emperor, dare to arrest Empress Huaxu?"

Immediately, Lao Li raised his hand and pointed at Gao Yanzong:

"My old man said, he pinched the man in front of me! He is the one in the portrait, King Ande of Qi, right?"

Gao Yanzong's eyes were nervous and guarded. He turned to look at Yuan Wuyou and asked in a low voice, "How does he know your identity? But the county magistrate just now didn't know?"

Yuan Wuyou grabbed his hand holding the scabbard and comforted him: "Don't worry, we are one of our own. Lao Li has never left the land of Jingxiang. Every time I crossed the border from Zhou in the past few years, he followed me in Xiangyang." It was arranged next to the prefect, and his son grew up near Yunzhou where his adoptive father worked, and he didn't stay with his biological father for a few years. "

Old Li patted the table next to him and signaled to Yuan Wuyou:
"Young Master, please take a seat. The fact that you can find my old man in this stall means that you are seeing my son. Both my father and I were given their lives by Dugu Jingzhou. Even if the emperor's son wanted you, I can't betray my old master." ah."

At this point, Yuan Wuyou stopped being polite and pulled Gao Yanzong to sit down at the table while raising his head casually.

"Old Li Tou, I heard that you are retiring from the army today?"

Lao Li nodded in agreement,

"Yes, I have two hours to go before I get off work. I originally planned to follow the government officials to catch the female bandits, but these young people thought that my arms and legs were too old, so they asked me to come back and set up a stall. They said they would wait until the shift changes. I’m going to come to my old man’s place for a late-night snack later.”

As he said that, Lao Li turned his head and glanced at the wonton cart, and asked the two of them with a kind smile, "Nier, do you want two bowls of wontons?"

Gao Yanzong was very familiar with it, his eyes suddenly brightened, he pulled Yuan Wuyou's wristband and nodded, "I happen to be hungry too, Wuyou, can you eat with me?"

Yuan Wuyou nodded, "Then you'll have a hard time."

Seeing Lao Li turning around and walking towards the wonton cart, with Gao Yanzong emptying the bowls and chopsticks on the table beside him, she remembered something.

"By the way, Lao Li, why does the Dog Emperor want King Ande? It's obviously me who is causing trouble in his territory, Nezha."

Lao Li didn't even look back, he just clicked his tongue and said,
"I saw on the notice that King Ande sneaked into the Zhou Dynasty and was suspected of colluding with the female bandit. But when I saw you two together, I felt that it couldn't be done. How could I, the young master, lead the bandits to rape and plunder? Le?”

Young Master Yuan felt warm and moved after hearing this, but he was not confused. He followed the clue and asked, "What female bandit? I really don't know about it. Can you tell me what's going on?"

So the two of them sat at the dining table and waited for the wontons. Gao Yanzong raised his skirt and tried to take out the gold dumplings, but Yuan Wuyou saw through it at a glance and quickly held his hand, took off the copper coin bag from his waist and smashed it into his hand. , ordered in a low voice: "Don't do anything indecent!"

Gao Yanzong blinked his eyelashes twice and pursed his lips.

On the opposite side, Lao Litou started to talk while he was busy making wontons with his head down.

"This matter has to be told a few days ago when the Zheng Mansion in Mulan City was massacred. Wasn't Mrs. Zheng's family property plundered by the soldiers?" Old Li was throwing wontons into the pot. Suddenly he stretched his neck and came closer to her, and whispered to her: "Young master, are you here to get back Mrs. Zheng's money this time?"

Yuan Wuyou shook his head, "I don't even know where I was robbed. Is it already given to me by the Duke of Wei, Yu Wenzhi?"

"Hey, I can't tell anyone else! I heard that Duke Wei only robbed 70% of the Zheng family's wealth. He must have handed it over to the public, but 30% was taken away by bandits. I heard that the bandits were all Wei. The government hired me to launder money and fill it into my own coffers. "

Gao Yanzong frowned when he heard this, and even the two silkworms under his eyelids, which were usually plump and pretty, became serious following him. "Isn't this just collusion between officials and bandits?"

Lao Li quickly shook his head, raised his hand full of white flour and hissed to stop:

"This can't be said directly! But the Duke of Wei must have planned to live in vain, but these bandits refused to do it and fled with their money! But as soon as they escaped to the land of Jingxiang, they were captured by the governor of Suizhou After intercepting it, the stolen money was naturally handed over to the Lord of Xiangyang. After learning the news, how could Duke Wei ignore the Lord of Xiangyang's request for money? "

"Ah? Then what? The Governor of Xiangyang gave it to him?"

"How can I give it to you? The Lord of Xiangyang Prefecture also has a point. He said that the money was originally used by bandits to rob Mrs. Zheng. It was captured in battle and has nothing to do with Duke Wei of Zhou State! These words made Duke Wei very angry. , making noises about sending troops to attack Xiangyang."

Upon hearing that Xiangyang was in trouble, Yuan Wuyou understood why the Zhou Kingdom was so unwelcome to see the Xiangyang Governor during the negotiations a few days ago.

"What's the current situation in Xiangyang from then to today?"

"Strange to say, before Duke Wei took action, these bandits who were besieged in Suizhou suddenly, as if with divine help, armed with sophisticated weapons, counterattacked the Suizhou garrison! These extremely vicious bandits, Not only did they take back the treasures that Mrs. Zheng had robbed, but they also massacred Pingshi County and Huyang City, raped women, robbed money, and killed the guards of the two cities. After hearing the news, Duke Wei sent troops to come and said he would help! Xiangyang Prefecture eliminates the bandits."

Yuan Wuyou was speechless when he heard this, "Where did these bandits come from? They are so rampant?"

The man next to him was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes with a cold look in his eyes, "How are you, Duke Wei, trying to rescue the siege? You clearly want to forcefully send troops to station in Jingxiang land? Why do I suspect that Yu Wenzhi pretended to be a bandit and committed evil? Then the thief shouted to catch the thief and Where’s Xiangyang’s challenge?”

When Lao Li heard this, he was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly.

"King Ande, please be careful what you say! This is not true! I heard that those bandits are from Chishui, and they went south to do evil after being hired by others. And they are all women."

Gao Yanzong clicked his tongue and said, "How did you know that the bandits are all women?"

Hearing this, Yuan Wuyou suddenly remembered the interrogation when he entered the city. "So this is why your son is guarding the city gate, questioning us?"

Lao Li nodded in agreement and sighed,
"After this group of bandits escaped from Jingxiang, they came to Jiyang yesterday. On that day! This group of extremely vicious female bandits broke into the county government office, raped and killed the father and son of the county magistrate of Jiyang City...that evil woman The bandit leader still left a message carved with a knife on the dead body, accusing Yu Wenzhi of committing rape and robbery under the guise of a bandit, and the bandits they brought were all female bandits, and they only raped men but did not humiliate women. "

"Isn't this just what Gao Yanzong said... These female bandits are quite smart. How could they think of proving their innocence like this? They just responded to violence with violence and left no way out for themselves."

Gao Yanzong hummed, "It's just a matter of repaying him with his own way. If I am forced to a dead end by others, I will do the same."
