She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 51
Captain Meng understood Xu Shu's meaning, she suspected that Ah Wang's plan was very big, but now everything is still guesswork, he still has to send someone to the grassland to inquire, but...

Captain Meng was eager for Xu Shu's trophies and asked tentatively:

"Your Highness, what are you going to do with this prince? Some of my subordinates are good at nonsense, and some are good at interrogating. Maybe we can squeeze something useful out of his mouth. Why don't you hand him over to him?"

Cheng Yufeng spoke at the right moment:
"Captain Meng, this person has an extraordinary status. There are many people in the prison, so it is easy for information to be leaked. There is a basement in the princess's mansion, which is not known to outsiders, but it is a good hiding place. If Colonel Meng wants to interrogate , you can also take people to do it without any delay.”

Lieutenant Meng was not prepared to give up the prisoners he had obtained to Zhou Keping, let alone put them in prison. They had their own place to hold prisoners in the army.

It's just that Cheng Yufeng's meaning is also very obvious. He doesn't want to give up the ownership of the person. Although Xu Shu didn't say anything, it was obvious that he meant it.

Alas, are young girls so difficult to fool around these days?

Captain Meng had no choice but to give up, and went down to arrange the defense of the city gate.

Xu Shu asked Cheng Yufeng to meet the subordinates who were restraining the battlefield, while she and Zhou Keping walked around the county government office.

"Your Highness, there is something that I have not told you for unknown reasons. I have just found out recently and would like to report it to you."

Xu Shu thought to herself, it must be Tian Xiancheng's business, but she still didn't know what to do, and asked curiously:

"what's up?"

Zhou Keping also knew that she knew about this matter. Xu Zhao had already sent someone to inquire about it, so how could he not tell Xu Shu.

What's more, most of the children of civil and military officials who lived in her house were encouraged by her to manage the people in the county. It is said that they were even divided into groups to compete in the ring to see which side did better.

Turning disputes into motivation to urge them to work, how could Xu Shu really be unaware of this move?

But Zhou Keping still explained to her in detail:
"It's a shame to say that it was due to poor management by the lower officials. When Tian County Magistrate got the news of the invasion by the barbarians, he didn't think about how to fight the enemy together with the people in the city. Instead, he first chose to send his only son out of the city - fortunately, His Highness stopped him."

"The reason why the lower official didn't find out until now is because he did something strange about it.

Logically speaking, the city gate officer guarding the city gate and Meng Xiaowei, who was in charge of the soldiers, were the first to get the news about the invasion by the barbarians. Meng Xiaowei did not delay and sent his second son to inform me.

I just started sending a letter to His Highness the Princess.But the time Tian Xiancheng learned was about the same as mine, even a few moments earlier than me. "

Xu Shu's face darkened.

"Is he putting people in the barracks? No, unless the people he puts in are Lieutenant Meng's most trusted subordinates, otherwise he won't get the news so early.

That means he colluded with the barbarians? "

"Your Highness, it's not good!"

Before Zhou Keping could speak, he was interrupted by someone coming. Xu Shu was also stunned. They both looked up and saw a servant from the Princess Mansion running over in a hurry.

The concierge from the county government was following behind him, saying as he ran:

"My lord, my lord, he said that he has something important to talk to His Royal Highness, I said you two are discussing something serious, I told him to wait, but I didn't stop him."

The servants of the Princess Mansion didn't have time to plead guilty, so they hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, Tian Jing, the son of Tian County Cheng, was kidnapped by the barbarians!"

Xu Shu was shocked.

Zhou Keping was even more shocked - he just found out that Tian Xiancheng had secretly communicated with the Azu people, secretly selling salt and tea to the Azu people many times that the government was not allowed to sell privately to the Hu people.

There was even a barbarian servant hiding in his house, and it was this servant who accidentally revealed the plan of the Albanians to go south.

But, how did this turn into Tian Jing being kidnapped by the barbarians again?
Could it be that he had wronged Tian Xian Cheng, but he actually endured the humiliation and tried to find out the information by trading goods, which led to the revenge of the barbarians?
Or is it that he also colluded with other tribes and had conflicts?
