Reborn Princess Chasing Her Husband Crematorium

Ten days ago, after the officials went on strike, Lin Muci came to the Tang Mansion that night.

Also traveling with him were the brothers Lu Mingze and Lu Minghao.

A small group meeting was held.

"Among the new batch of officials, the first Admiral Yu Dingping to take office will arrive in a few days." Lin Muci said, "Currently, with the persistence of each official, the government affairs work in the entire south can still persist."

"I don't know why, the Liu family's control over the news is gradually decreasing, and the people from the killer organization seem to have withdrawn from this muddy water." Lu Mingze added on the side.

"The Qin family and I have passed the message. It will be safer for the person who summoned them to take the route arranged by them." Shen Qing said, "I will discuss it with the Ding family in a few days to see if I can bring them over."

"Is there any news about the water bandit leader?" Lin Mici looked at Lu Minghao and asked.

"This water bandit leader has been hiding very deep. He has never shown up to talk or do anything. He is the only person I have not been able to find out over the years." Lu Minghao said, "But I have another news. Liu Changpeng seems to have suddenly become a Get rid of the boss and won’t be involved in anything.”

"Why is this?" Shen Qing asked.

"It is said that something happened to his woman." Lu Minghao said.

Although he has escaped from the water bandits, the news has never stopped.

"Is he the kind of person who wants beauty rather than power?" Shen Qing asked.

"I don't know." Lu Minghao shook his head.

"It looks like it's time to completely wipe out the water bandits while Liu Changpeng gives up." Tang Zongjiu said.

"We really don't have that much time to waste." Lin Mici agreed.

"Perhaps, we can try a two-pronged approach." Lu Minghao said.

"What do you say?" Tang Zongjiu asked.

"Since officials are on strike these days, we can arrange other things. For example, prepare for military recruitment."

"Conscription?" Lin Muci shook his head, "The south is rich. Although the Liu family controls the sky with one hand, most people will not have any difficulties in life as long as they obey."

"The key is these two words, obedience."

Lu Minghao continued.

"Most of the people in the south of the previous generation were almost never harmed by water bandits. And you have to know, how many people would have to be killed to make the people in the whole south obey?

Not to mention those who volunteered to become water bandits, there were also some who were tricked into becoming water bandits under the pretext of looking for work. Therefore, many people are just obedient on the surface and are waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Obviously, it is time to wake up those who have always wanted to resist or even overthrow the Liu Dynasty. "

"But even if this is the case, why not use the soldiers brought by Governor Shao?" Lin Muci asked.

"Yes, the soldiers I brought can definitely suppress the bandits." Speaking of his own soldiers, Shao Xingyue said from the side.

"General Shao's troops must all be used in the naval battle." Lu Minghao said, "The main battlefield for the water bandits is not on land, but on the water."

"Indeed." Shao Xingyue nodded.

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Lu Minghao looked at everyone, paused, and said all his thoughts over the years.

“While recruiting troops, we can recruit soldiers.

Because not all water bandits become bandits voluntarily.

We delivered grain and food to the water bandits' villages every day. Over time, we made them understand that as long as they were willing to submit to the court and had not killed anyone, the court would not blame them.

This is tantamount to dismantling the water bandits from within. "

"You can leave this matter to me." Shen Qing said, "Needless to say, the Qin family, if we can bring the Ding family over and hold on to the food and food until the war begins, there shouldn't be a big problem."

Once the south is pacified, the Qin family and the Ding family can make back all their losses, and Shen Qing can make them become imperial merchants, and their business territory will be improved to a higher level from then on.

"You can leave the training of new recruits to me." Tang Zongjiu said, "From the beginning to the time when the new recruits officially go to the battlefield, it will take two to three months at the fastest, but the Tang family has a more rigorous training method that can train a new recruit in one and a half months. batch."

"You don't need a lot of people. There are so many towns. If you recruit a thousand people, there will be a small team of twenty-five people, a large team of fifty people, and a general team of one hundred people. We will set up various positions such as Xiaojia, General A, and Sentinel Commander. , this is the best equipment for patrol deployment and sentry management." Lu Mingze, who had been silent, put forward his own opinion at this time.

In this way, everyone brainstormed and finally finalized the matter of suppressing the bandits.

Therefore, the day after the officials went on strike, Shen Qing and others pushed three carts of grain to the red forest boundary marker.

However, before they even got close to the red forest boundary monument, they were greeted by an arrow.

"Who?!" a water bandit on the sentry post shouted loudly.

"We are from Tingyulou, and we are here to deliver food to you." Tang Yu also shouted loudly from the front.

"What?!" The water bandit didn't seem to hear clearly, "Say it again?"

"We are from Tingyulou!" Tang Yu repeated, "We are here to deliver food to you!"

"What building?!"

"Tingyulou!"

"What are you doing here?!"

"Send food!"

After Tang Yu finished speaking, he found that the other party was silent.

He waited for a while, but there was still no sound from the other party.

"Young Master..." Tang Yu said.

"Wait a moment." Tang Zong said drunkenly.

When everyone had been waiting for about a stick of incense, the same person at the same place shouted again.

"We don't need it, leave now!"

"This is good food!" Tang Yu said as he moved a bag of rice under the cart, poked a hole with his sword, and tore open the bag of rice to show the people in the water bandits' village.

Obviously, there are many pairs of eyes in the Water Bandit Village watching every move here.

Tang Yu showed it generously.

I saw the rice grains arranged closely and neatly in the rice bag, each one full and shiny.

When the sun shines on it, these rice seem to shine with golden light, like crystal clear pearls, which is pleasing to the eye.

For this reason, Tang Yu specially leaned the bag against the sun, trying to get the best effect.

After another long while, the man shouted again: "No need, let's go!"

When Tang Yu saw this, he didn't insist and said, "Okay, okay, we'll leave right away, but there are thirty bags of good rice here. If you don't believe it, you can send someone down to take a look!"

Soon, Tang Yu left the territory of Honglin under the watchful eyes of the water bandits.

He jumped on the carriage and parked it in a hidden corner where the rice was placed, so that Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu could observe the water bandits' movements.

After burning incense, the door to the Water Bandit Village finally opened, and about six or seven people came.

These people walked around the cart several times, and then stopped in front of Tang Yu's broken rice bag.

One of them paused, picked up the rice grains on the ground, and seemed to study it for a while.

Immediately afterwards, they opened the other bags of rice grains one by one and looked at each other in surprise when they found that there was indeed real rice inside.

It seems that after some discussion, everyone returned to the water bandit village with the cart.

A good start is often half the battle.

Since the first time, when Shen Qing and the others approached the red forest boundary monument for the second time, the people on guard in Water Bandit Village were no longer so vigilant.

And the speed at which they got the rice was several times faster than the first time.

And the entire Water Bandit Village also knew that Tingyulou was sending rice to them.

The undercover agents hiding in the water bandits' village began to "work" along with the bags of rice.

"This rice is so delicious." The undercover agent sighed while eating, "Oh, I don't want to go to the shore anymore after I'm full."

"Who says otherwise?" The water bandit on the side approached the undercover agent and said softly, "You can have enough to eat without having to fight and kill, so there's no need to take risks, right?"

"Shh..." The undercover agent put his finger on his lips, "Keep your voice down! I heard that the leader of the village doesn't want us to eat this rice."

"Why not?" Another water bandit opened his eyes wide and immediately stuffed his mouth with rice and asked.

The undercover looked left and right.

"Oh, come on, we are all our own people and we won't tell anyone." The third water bandit said.

"It is said," the undercover agent lowered his voice again, "it seems that the leader of the village has a grudge against Tingyulou."

"Hey, when you said that, I remembered that the Tang family was once favored by Chai Dashan!" the first water bandit suddenly said.

"Ah, yes, after saying that, I also remembered it. It seems that there is really a grudge."

"What should we do? Will we no longer be able to eat these meals?" the undercover agent said worriedly.

"That's impossible!" The second water bandit disagreed, "They didn't do anything to us, right? They give us rice every day, why can't we eat it?"

"Yes, yes." There were other water bandits on the side who echoed.

With the efforts of these "undercovers", the water bandits became more and more accepting of Tingyulou.

For the next five days, Shen Qing continued to send these things as usual.

On the surface, Water Bandit Village looks the same as before, but some subtle changes have occurred in some corners.

Five days ago, when Liu Changqing learned that Boss Tang and Mrs. Tang had brought rice, he couldn't figure out what the other party meant.

After all, the girl from the Tang family died at the hands of Chai Dashan, and this matter was well known to everyone.

Without the incident of Miss Tang, there would be no follow-up in which Mrs. Tang angrily complained to the government and was finally famous by Lin Muci killing the admiral in one fell swoop.

It can be said that the Tang family and the water bandits should have sworn hatred, so why did the other party send rice?

Liu Changqing didn't understand.

Liu Changqing went to Liu Changpeng and tried to get Liu Changpeng to give him another idea, but Liu Changpeng actually disappeared.

This made Liu Changqing so angry that his whole body was smoking.

Why does he have a brother who only wants women but not the family?

In desperation, Liu Changqing decided to observe.

Five days had passed until Tong Jiu reminded him that "it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."

In the past five days, water bandits began to cook and eat the rice given by Shen Qing. Thirty bags a day and a hundred and fifty bags a day, the water bandits were satisfied with their food.

Compared with burning and robbing, such days of eating in peace are more comfortable.

But just when the water bandits were enjoying their meal, a group of people suddenly came.

The captain led the team to collect more than 100 bags of rice one by one.

When the water bandits were still puzzled, they saw this group of people pulling the rice to the river, and then "bursting, la la la -", all the rice was poured into the river.

The captain took a step forward and said to the water bandits.

"The leader of the village has an order. From today onwards, you are no longer allowed to listen to the rice delivered by Yulou! If you are found to have poured it out every time, the person collecting the rice will be punished according to the village regulations!"

This scene made many water bandits look at each other.

They watched bags of crystal-white rice being dumped into the Moyang River, and they couldn't help but recall the fragrant smell of rice.

After all, most of the water bandits here come from poor backgrounds, and many have been farmers.

The days of hard work in the wind and sun just for a little bit of rice are still vivid in my mind.

Many of them fall into banditry just because they are hungry and don't have enough to eat.

And their big village leader actually wasted food like this. Some water bandits were secretly dissatisfied with Liu Changqing's handling of food.

On the sixth day, when Shen Qing and others were delivering food, no water bandits went out to get it.

But on the seventh day, in the dead of night.

I saw the door of Water Bandit Village quietly opened a crack.

A water bandit sneaked into the village with two bags.

"I regard my brothers as my own, and I don't hide them. Today I resisted two bags of rice." The undercover agent faced the other water bandits and said with an attitude of giving up on me, "I know everyone is If you want to eat, don’t worry, the village master won’t know about it.”

"Thanks brother!"

"I really know how to thank you."

"Thank you so much. We have been starving for this rice all day!"

"There is clearly no rice to eat, but we are asked to rob it. I don't know what the people above are thinking."

"Stop talking, let's make a quick decision today. We still need time to cook." The undercover agent said softly.

"Yes, yes, eating is important."

So, the guys started cooking together.

When the fragrant rice aroused everyone's taste buds, suddenly a group of people broke in.

"Get them all!" the leader, the captain of the bandit, roared angrily.

"Spare your life! Spare your life!"

"Head! Spare your life!"

"We won't dare next time!"

The water bandits immediately shouted.

"Arrest them all! Let us wait and see!" The captain remained unmoved and only focused on arresting people.

Soon, these people were caught in front of the execution platform.

When everyone saw that this was a rhythm that was going to kill them, they suddenly started crying.

"Master Dazhai, please have mercy! We just don't want to waste food! We really don't dare to do it next time!"

"Master Dazhai, please spare your life!"

Some people even kowtowed.

"Who is taking the lead?!" the captain asked as he glanced around them.

The undercover agent took a step forward at this time: "I was the one who withheld the food. It has nothing to do with them."

"We wanted to eat Xiao Zhang, so we secretly took it!" said the water bandit on the side.

"Yes, yes, you can't blame Xiao Zhang!" said the other water bandits.

"You have violated the orders of the leader of the village, are you aware of the crime?" The captain glanced at a few people and asked.

"Young man admits his guilt, but please ask the leader of the village to spare the others." The undercover agent said in a serious tone with a sincere attitude.

"Then you will be punished." After the captain finished speaking, he winked at the people on the side, "This time the leader of the village will only punish those who secretly take the rice."

Hearing this, several water bandits couldn't help but step forward.

The undercover shook his head at them.

Soon, he was taken to the execution platform.

He knelt in the center of the execution platform, his eyes turned red, and he looked up to the sky and cried.

"Master of the village, the food is right. My wife and children are starving to death. I just want to have a hot meal! Master of the village!"

His words expressed the sentiments of many people present.

Only those who have truly experienced food can understand the importance of food.

However, the captain seemed to be deaf and had no reaction to this. He said to everyone with an expressionless face.

"The leader of Dazhai said that if you are punished by death, you will not be able to escape life. You will be punished on the stage to set an example for others."

After saying that, he tied the undercover's wrists and ankles firmly to the pillar.

This scene deeply hurt everyone who was just about to eat rice together.

Many things, once started, become out of control.

For example, the "rebellion" in people's hearts.

It had been three days since the undercover agent was hung on the execution platform, and Shen Qing had been delivering food for ten days.

Ever since the undercover agent was hung up, the food delivered by Shen Qing had been left untouched.

Shen Qing and the others had already expected this.

Therefore, Shen Qing replaced the new rice with the old rice every time, as if he wanted to let the water bandits see their sincerity.

On this day, Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu returned to Tang Mansion from Honglin after delivering rice.

As soon as the two people got off the carriage, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of people.

"traitor!"

One of the common people shouted and actually threw rotten vegetable leaves at Shen Qing.

Before he reached mid-air, he was stopped by Tang Zongjiu.

"Traitor, get out of Springwind City!"

"Liar, get out of Spring Wind City!"

As he was talking, other people also stood up and scolded him.

"Go back to the carriage." Tang Zongjiu said to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing nodded, she jumped on the carriage, sat in the carriage and paid attention to what was going on outside.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tang Yu ran forward and roared.

"You actually sent food to the water bandits! You and the water bandits gave it together!"

"You obviously have a grudge against the water bandits, why are you giving them rice?!"

"You are sanctimonious liars!"

The people were filled with resentment.

"How could we be liars?!" Tang Yu could not attack the people, so he could only try to explain to them, "There is a reason for us to do this!"

"What's the reason? Isn't it because you betrayed Mr. Lin and our common people!"

"We don't!" Tang Yu said loudly.

However, as much as the gathered people admired Shen Qing at the beginning, they were now very angry.

Rotten vegetable leaves and egg shells were thrown one by one towards the carriage where Shen Qing was sitting.

Tang Yu and Tang Zongjiu jumped up and used their body skills to the extreme to repel the "attacks" of the common people one by one.

As soon as this flowing movement was displayed, the people suddenly stopped talking.

They never thought that Boss Tang and his servants could be so skilled.

At this moment, someone hurried over and shouted to them.

"Don't be stupid, don't be stupid!" The visitor shouted, "Master Lin just declared war on the water bandits! At the same time, he also declared that he would recruit water bandits! He would give water bandits who are willing to submit to the court a chance to reform! Boss Tang Tang Madam, she is following orders!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized that the relationship between this couple and the imperial envoy was not ordinary.

How come they think someone is a traitor so easily?

At this time, Shen Qing was helped out of the carriage by Tang Zongjiu.

She took every step steadily and did not get angry at all because of everyone's rudeness.

"Is it true that there are no people around you who have been deceived into the Water Bandit Village?"

Shen Qing's voice was cold.

"Master Lin is willing to give them a chance to return to Spring Wind City, so why are you so opposed?

Aren’t the real persecutors of us the real water bandits?

Dear fellow villagers, it is everyone's responsibility to eradicate water bandits, but please also give a chance to those who are willing to escape from water bandits, and also give the fellow villagers around you a chance to reunite with your families. "

After Shen Qing finished speaking, he turned around and stepped into the gate of Tang Mansion with Tang Zongjiu.

There is a crowd of people making trouble at the door. You look at me and I look at you. You are so ashamed.
