Reborn Princess Chasing Her Husband Crematorium

Chapter 98, Lin Muci loudly declared war on the water bandits!

Gu Wanting never imagined that Liu Changpeng would focus his obsession on Gu Wanye on himself.

"I'm Gu Wanting!" she said angrily to Liu Changpeng.

"Wan Ye, don't make trouble." Liu Changpeng hugged Gu Wanting and said softly, "I specially asked a tailor to customize this dress for you. If you wear it, my mother will not object to us."

"Liu Changpeng, you are crazy!" Gu Wanting struggled desperately, but could not move at all.

"Don't worry, Wanye, I will create a world of our own for you. When the time comes, I, Liu Changpeng, will be so powerful that no one will dare to dictate our affairs."

Liu Changpeng hugged Gu Wanting tighter and tighter.

"No one dares to touch a hair of your head."

Liu Changpeng murmured, not knowing whether he was telling Gu Wanye or himself.

Such conversations have occurred almost every once in a while in the past ten years.

And Liu Changpeng's madness became more and more severe.

It was just limited to the area where he arranged Gu Wanting.

After leaving that residence, Liu Changpeng returned to his original self, and no one noticed any flaws at all.

But after all, such things cannot be hidden from everyone.

As a result, "Liu Changpeng has a beloved woman whom he loves alone" spread in a very small area.

For example, Liu Changqing and Tong Jiu were the guards guarding Gu Wanting.

The head of the Liu family and Fang Shujing both died when Liu Changpeng was establishing the southern empire.

Before her death, Fang Shujing told the truth about why she sent someone to kill Gu Wanye.

What she didn't expect was that Liu Changpeng actually smiled.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Wan Ye has always been by my side and never left me."

Fang Shujing suddenly opened her eyes wide!

"Mom," Liu Changpeng put his hand on Fang Shujing's face, "Wan Ye and I are already together. Don't worry, I will help the Liu family."

Fang Shujing died with her eyes closed.

After that, Liu Changqing has inherited the entire Liu family, but everyone knows that Liu Changpeng is the real leader of the Liu family with the right to speak.

Gu Wanting was also taken to Liu Yuan's villa and was kept in captivity by Liu Changpeng.

No one wants their life to be controlled by another person.

In the past ten years, Gu Wanting cried, committed suicide, and killed Liu Changpeng, but to no avail.

Gu Wanting gradually became a soulless person.

What she eats, wears, and uses are all the best things from Xi country, but she is "dying" little by little.

"Gu Wanye." Liu Changpeng hugged her and lay on the bed as usual.

"Let me go." Gu Wanting begged.

"The emperor has sent an imperial envoy to the south again." Liu Changpeng said to himself.

Gu Wanting was silent.

Over the years, Liu Changpeng gradually told Gu Wanting all the characters and secrets of the entire royal family.

She didn't want to know at all.

However, Liu Changpeng is a self-centered person.

"I gave you ten years of glory and wealth, don't you like it?"

Liu Changpeng buried his head on Gu Wanting's shoulder.

"Then I will overthrow the Shen dynasty and you will become the male queen, okay?"

"No! You can't do this!" Gu Wanting shouted.

"Look, you will still pay attention to me." Liu Changpeng smiled.

"You are simply crazy!" Gu Wanting said in a trembling voice.

"I'm a madman, let's be crazy together, Wan Ye, let's be together." Liu Changpeng said in a daze.

"You're sorry, my sister!"

"Gu Wanye! Why aren't you awake yet?"

"I told you I'm not Gu Wanye!"

"Okay, okay, you are not Gu Wanye, you are Gu Wanting."

As he spoke, Liu Changpeng pressed on Gu Wanting.

"I'm not Gu Wanye!" Gu Wanting cried miserably.

"It's all the same, Wanye, Wanting, you are all the same."

Liu Changpeng stubbornly believed that Gu Wanye and Gu Wanting were always the same person, like two souls in one body, so he even paranoidly put a tear mole on the corner of Gu Wanting's left eye.

As long as people are by his side and don't leave him, it's the same for everyone.

When something is repeated many times, people's thoughts will become confused.

Sometimes Gu Wanting begins to have the illusion that "I am Gu Wanye" and even begins to forget who he is.

Liu Changpeng was entangled with her like this, not only deceiving others, but also deceiving himself.

Such a long period of more than ten years only flashed through Liu Changpeng's mind for a moment.

Gu Wanye and Gu Wanting, as long as they are his, they are who they say they are, as long as he is happy.

"Brother...Brother, what are you talking about?" Liu Changqing became incoherent at this time.

He felt that his brother was starting to lose his mind. He actually said that Gu Wanting was a man. Was he crazy?

"Ah..." Liu Changpeng suddenly paused, "It's nothing."

He pointed toward the door: "You can go."

"But... but brother..." Liu Changqing wanted to ask again, but Liu Changpeng glanced at him sideways.

This sight made Liu Changqing's legs weak.

"get out."

After speaking, Liu Changpeng closed his eyes again and said no more words.

Liu Changqing and Tong Jiu could only withdraw.

Return to the main building of Water Bandit Village.

After Liu Changqing lost his temper for a while, he finally calmed down.

"My brother is sick, already." Liu Changqing said to Tong Jiu, "His mind is getting more and more unclear. He can't even tell the difference between men and women, and he speaks only half the words."

Tong Jiu remained silent.

Liu Changqing and Liu Changpeng are as good as each other.

Without Liu Changpeng, Liu Changqing is just an ordinary person.

Tong Jiu looked at Liu Changqing, her eyes darkened.

Liu Changpeng took a breath.

"What are you talking about with Lin Mici? I have no fewer than five batches of killers, how come they all left and never came back?"

Tong Jiu was speechless. Is it possible that he possesses peerless martial arts?

"I don't know." Tong Jiu shook her head and hid her guess.

"It's really troublesome." Liu Changqing frowned, "By the way, have those officials made arrangements with them?"

Tong Jiu nodded: "Same as before, we have already agreed."

Hearing this, Liu Changqing sneered: "Hmph, I want to see how Lin Mici solves the problem this time."

"Then I'll retreat first."

I don't know why, but these days Tong Jiu feels more and more that Liu Changqing is not worthy of the status of the leader of the water bandits.

"Go ahead and tell me if you have any news." Liu Changqing said.

"Yes."

After saying that, Tong Jiu leaned over and left the main building.

At this time, inside the Imperial Envoy's Yamen.

Many officials sat on both sides.

On one side is the bandit suppression faction headed by Lin Muci.

On the other side are the officials who are still on Liu's side.

There is no centrism.

Lin Muci sat at the top, wearing an imperial uniform and looking solemn.

"Master Lin, it's not that I don't want to be lowered, it's just that I can't do it." An official bowed to Lin Mu and said with a grimace.

The entire southern official organization is complex, including military preparation, guarding, and patrolling, with magistrates, co-presidents, and judges, and further down there are state magistrates, county magistrates, chief registrars, etc.

Lu Mingze was a member of the Bingbei Road, but the suppression of bandits involved more than just the Bingbei Road. Both the Fenshou Road and the Fenxun Road were involved.

However, when Lin Muci talked to the underground officials about suppressing bandits, they began to shirk one by one.

"What? You, a colleague, can't even do these things?" Lin Muci asked.

"My lord, I am sorry that I am really unable to do anything." The official shook his head and refused.

"Chen Weixu, who are you fooling? You are the most experienced in defense." said an official named Lin beside Lin Muci.

"You are trying to flatter me. If I am the most experienced, why am I just a small fellow?"

"You...!" The official surnamed Lin wanted to argue a few more words, but was stopped by Lin Muci.

"What about you?" Lin Mici turned to another official on the side.

The official became nervous and immediately waved his hand.

"Sir, you can't be a lower official. The person who was originally responsible for the patrol affairs was not the lower official. The lower official was just a bookkeeper. Your superiors have all been killed by the lower official." The official also complained.

Lin Mici glanced back and forth several times at the officials who were "on strike" collectively.

The officials looked away but remained silent.

During this period, Lin Muci killed many officials at once in order to establish his prestige among the people.

The officials appointed by the imperial court have not yet taken office, and many current officials have complaints about Lin Mu's resignation.

On the one hand, he didn't have enough confidence in Lin Mici, and on the other hand, his original workload suddenly increased several times.

If you can't even handle the task at hand clearly, how can you talk about suppressing bandits? In case Lin Muci fails, no matter whether Lin Muci dies or walks away, it will be them, the lower officials, who will suffer in the end.

No matter how much you think about it, it’s not worth it.

Therefore, most grassroots officials are rebellious and unwilling to get involved in this muddy water.

This left Lin Mici in a place where no one could help him.

In addition, after Liu Changqing received Tong Jiu's suggestion, he simply let go of the southern officialdom and simply let go.

This made Lin Muci even worse.

After all, no matter how ambitious Liu Changpeng was and no matter how greedy the officials were, the entire southern officialdom was operating normally.

Lin Mici's sudden appearance and his powerful thrust were like a stick that stuck the gears and could not move, bringing the entire southern officialdom to a halt.

Once officialdom ceases, social chaos will follow.

Lin Mici deeply felt that he was still too much.

He thought that many officials would come to actively participate in suppressing the bandits.

In fact, many officials did participate, but most of them were officials with different positions.

Almost all the officials who were really involved in suppressing the bandits were colluding with the water bandits. The rest were just like those present, either turning a blind eye or closing an eye, or just looking after themselves.

Originally, Lin Mici wanted to make a move, but today, to his surprise, these people actually chose to "go on strike" collectively.

And did he really kill them one by one?

This is impossible.

If he continues to be killed, he is likely to become the most notorious imperial envoy in the history of Xi Kingdom.

Lin Mici fell into silence for a moment.

Obviously, someone is behind this.

At this time, Lu Mingze stood up suddenly.

"All your sages' books have been read into the dog's belly!" Lu Mingze said with anger.

"Lu Mingze, we are not as lucky as you!" Another official retorted.

"Zhao Yandong, how much money did the Liu family give you to work for them like this?" an official from Lin Muci's side asked angrily.

"You are slandering!" the official named Zhao said angrily.

"Zhao Yandong," Lin Mici spoke at this time, facing the officials of Liu's faction, "your superior colluded with the water bandits and sacrificed ten lives for the sake of his family's business. Do you know?"

Zhao Yandong was suddenly startled and lowered his head: "I... I don't know."

"Well you know now."

Lin Muci cleared his throat.

"Kang Zhixiong, a Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanzhen's reign, embezzled 10 million taels of silver from merchants, raped and kidnapped two women from good families.

Cao Su, a Jinshi in the 11th year of Wan Zhen's reign, colluded with water bandits and smuggled and sold illegal salt for personal gain of thirty million taels.

Liao Yiyou, a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanzhen's reign, participated in the deliberate murder of imperial envoy Zhang Yitian just because he fell in love with his new wife.

......"

Lin Mici mentioned the ten officials he had personally killed in one breath, without any fluctuations in his tone, as calm as a lake without wind.

For a moment, the surroundings fell into silence.

Now, Lin Mici is clearly standing on the opposite side of the Liu clan with his strong strength.

He seemed to be the weathervane of southern officialdom, the only lighthouse in the dark sea of ​​southern officialdom.

But it attracts the attention of all kinds of interested people.

Over the past few days, he has been suppressed, assassinated, marginalized, and isolated. He has experienced the same things that other imperial envoys have experienced, but he still stands there.

Therefore, the people gathered after Lin Mu resigned gradually grew, which was why Liu Changqing was very anxious.

"I still say what I said, I am here, whether it is the common people or you, when you figure it out, I will welcome you at any time."

After saying that, Lin Muci stood up.

Behind him, many officials also stood up.

After Lin Mu resigned, the officials who stayed looked at each other and looked at each other.

In fact, everyone was thinking the same thing. If Lin Mici didn't succeed, they would be dead.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that they don't dare.

The Liu family has sent people to warn them one by one. It is difficult for them to arouse resistance after being "tamed" all year round.

Ten days passed like this.

During these ten days, Lin Muci was as busy as ever, listening to voices from all sides, recording, solving cases, and gaining information on bandits.

And he never mentioned anything about "suppressing water bandits" with these officials.

The matter of suppressing bandits seemed to have been cut off at the waist and put on hold.

Liu Changqing laughed heartily after hearing the news in the Water Bandit Village.

"I just said that this is what Lin Mici is like, okay? Let you establish your prestige and let you kill so many people."

His eyes were stern: "Without these people, I'll see how you can suppress the bandits!"

At this moment, a servant came to report that Lin Muci was openly recruiting soldiers to suppress bandits.

"What did you say?" Liu Changqing shouted.

"Boss, the entire Chunfeng City, as well as the next city, and even Linxi City, all conspicuous places are covered with bandit recruitment notices."

"Conscription to suppress bandits?" Liu Changqing was so angry that he could think of it. The south is rich and the people have no worries about food and clothing. Who would go to suppress bandits?!"

"Hahahaha, he can't say goodbye!"

Seeing Liu Changqing smiling like this, the subordinate said nothing more.

At this time, Lin Muci was standing at the door of the Imperial Envoy's Yamen.

There was a notice posted behind Lin Muci.

The text says:

[Gai has heard that the river is so vast that it has been plagued by water bandits for a long time. They are hiding among the waves, doing evil, invading my good people, and taking away my property. How terrible!

All our loyal and brave people should fight bravely to be the first and help each other in this great difficulty.

At this point, the imperial court wanted to build an army to suppress bandits and suppress all the people. Those who conquered and suppressed bandits could join the army in the future, and they would be required to pay fifty guan per month and one stone of food.

This campaign is not about being outnumbered, but about being brave and courageous and sharing the same hatred of the enemy. 】

Next to the notice, there was a bright sentence.

【Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible. 】

The calligraphy of that hand seems to be like a dragon and a snake. It is magnificent and yet delicate, which is really breathtaking.

At the same time, notices with the same content appeared at the entrances of different government offices, city gates and centralized centers in the south.

Now, many people gathered.

This is incredible!

When did the suppression of bandits require the participation of ordinary people?

Looking at the monthly payment, the imperial court gave a lot.

"Everyone!" Lin Muci said, "I, Lin Muci, am not dead yet!"

As soon as these words came out, the breathing of everyone around him slowed down for half a beat.

"I am here, just waiting for the imperial envoys who sunk in the Moyang River to be here too!"

He looked around.

"Are you really willing to live in the shadow of water bandits forever?"

He took a step outward: "Today, in front of everyone, I officially declare war on the water bandits!"

"hiss--!"

Everyone gasped.

Declare war on the water bandits!

This is the first person to say this publicly in so many years!

"Everyone!"

Lin Mici raised his voice again.

"I know that many water bandits do not fall into bandits from the beginning. Therefore, I am not only issuing a letter of war to the water bandits here, but also asking them to surrender. Anyone who is willing to break away from the water bandits and return to the court, as long as he is not a heinous criminal. If you do, the imperial court will not blame anyone!

Everyone! Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible! Let us work together to restore the blue sky in the south! "

There was sudden silence and silence.

At this time, a man stepped forward and said to Lin Mu: "Your Majesty, Imperial Envoy, are there any requirements for joining the army?"

Lin Mici observed him for a while and nodded: "Our recruitment requirements cannot be too high, too short, too fat or too thin. You must pass the physical examination, and you must answer some questions. Only after you pass all the requirements can you join the army!"

"The requirements are so high," the man said.

"Suppress the bandits. If you fight with the water bandits, you will die!" Lin Mu said.

His expression was focused and his tone was serious.

"If you have the mentality to give it a try, then please come back."

Lin Muci continued.

"I'm not joking with you. If you sign up here, you will be a dignified soldier of the Xi Kingdom. After the bandits are suppressed, you will be incorporated into the formal army. From now on, you will embark on a military career. Have you thought clearly?"

Lin Muci paused.

"Of course, if you die, you have sacrificed your life for the country, and the court will compensate your family a hundred taels of silver."

In fact, at first, everyone would find it somewhat "funny".

After all, no imperial envoy has ever recruited troops in the rich south to fight against the water bandits that have been rampant in the south for many years.

Water bandits, government, merchants, and common people are all under the control of the Liu family. As long as you "obey", everything will be prosperous.

And this illusion of peace was finally broken open by Lin Muci's sword.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. It is never a joke."

Lin Mu resigned.

Originally, the man just wanted to understand, but after Lin Mici's solemn words, he began to think seriously.

After a long time, he stood up straight and said to Lin Mici with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

"I want to sign up!"
