Nongmen beautiful wife

Chapter 86

Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin saw that they were going to the firewood house, and followed them secretly. It was exactly as Uncle Zhang said, the county magistrate in the northwest not only worked hand in hand with the bandits, but also helped them arrest people.

The head of the family looked at the men Dong Yichang had captured from the beginning to the end, and felt that the men Dong Yichang had found were not bad, so he relaxed his tone, "This number is far from enough. I will trouble you no more."

"No trouble, no trouble, what the boss said." Dong Yichang said flatteringly.

The head of the family nodded, and said to the two people behind him, "You two, take them away."

The two men pinned the knives to their waists, "Yes, the boss."

These people were all bound hands and feet. The two bandits first helped them untie the ropes on their feet, and then found a thick, long and strong rope from a corner, and pulled the rope from their tied hands. Tie them up in a string and take them out by pulling the rope.

"I'll take these ten people away first, and I'll come back in three days." When everyone finished speaking, they brought their brothers and left the yamen in a mighty manner.

Dong Yichang returned to the study and sat quietly alone, Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin also followed him to the roof of the study.

After a while, a servant opened the door and entered Dong Yichang's study, holding a tray with a bowl of bird's nest porridge in his hand. This person was Dong Yichang's confidant, named Dong Cheng.

"Master, let's eat something." Dong Cheng put the bird's nest porridge in front of Dong Yichang.

Dong Yichang looked at the bird's nest porridge in front of him, remained silent for a long time, then suddenly picked up the bowl and smashed it on the ground, with a crisp sound, the bowl was smashed to pieces.

Dong Cheng was not frightened, and still calmly bent down to pick up the fallen pieces, "It's fine if the master doesn't want to eat, why bother to drop the bowl too."

"Hmph, what kind of thing is a bandit leader, how dare he really ride on my head."

Dong Cheng put the fragments he picked up on the tray, "Master, calm down. They are just bandits, what can they do, the master just finds a chance to get rid of them."

"You said it lightly. In this huge northwest city, bandits alone account for as much as half, but you look at our county government. The sum of all the people is less than a fraction of the bandits. Tell me, what else?" A solution can solve them?" Dong Yichang frowned.

"My lord, if you want me to talk about it, why not...report it to the imperial court. If the imperial court finds out, it will definitely send troops to reinforce and quell the rebellion in the northwest." Dong Cheng made a suggestion.

Dong Yichang shook his head, "Hmph, so what if the imperial court finds out, Mu Cheng's family has been wiped out by the emperor, and the Mu family's corpses have been dispatched to us, how can there be a general like Mu Cheng in the court?" Can you come to calm the chaos?"

When Liu Xiaodong heard them talking about his father again, he held his breath for an instant. Xiang Qin felt Liu Xiaodong's nervousness, and gently shook her hand, "Don't be nervous, take it easy."

Liu Xiaodong hastily withdrew her hand from Xiang Qin's, glared at Xiang Qin, and said nothing, she was worried that Dong Yichang below would find out.

"I don't know what the emperor thinks, but he is so cruel that he has been loyal to assisting him for so many years. The general of the country, even his family, is not willing to let go. If General Mu is still alive, how can he tolerate these bandits and Barbarians are so rampant in the northwest?" Dong Cheng regretted.

Dong Yichang snorted mockingly, "What do you know? The emperor killed him not because he was loyal or not, but because he was a damned person in the eyes of the emperor."

Dong Cheng didn't understand why Dong Yichang said that, "Why did the master say that?"

"The emperor killed Mu Cheng because Mu Cheng was too loyal."

Dong Cheng still looked puzzled, Dong Yichang saw this and continued, "It's because Mu Cheng is too loyal, he won many battles for the court, made great achievements in battle, and gained fame."

Speaking here, Dong Yichang lowered his voice, "And our Long Live Lord is the most suspicious. Because Mu Cheng is proficient in arranging troops and has never lost a battle, he is called the "savior" by the world. In the eyes of the emperor, he will inevitably feel that he He has made great achievements and threatened the throne, so he found a reason for treason and solved him, once and for all."

Dong Cheng was surprised, "So, the emperor wiped out General Mu's family just because of his suspicion?"

"Otherwise, what do you think? The emperor is afraid of Mu Cheng's power. He is not allowed to leave his body in the capital even after his death. Even his Mu family's ancestral grave was dug up, and he was sent to the northwest with him."

"But the slave didn't see the master go to take care of these things."

Liu Xiaodong thought to herself that the matter she cared about was finally coming, so she held her breath and listened carefully to what Dong Yichang and Dong Cheng had to say.

Dong Yichang changed his posture and continued, "Although the emperor beheaded the Mu family in the downtown area on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, Mu Cheng is very popular among the common people after all. If the common people don't believe that Mu Cheng is Such people will definitely riot on a large scale, and the court will be unable to suppress it at that time. Therefore, the corpses of Mu Cheng's family were sent secretly, and I placed them in the underground palace."

Dong Cheng nodded, "That's right, as the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. The emperor has already killed General Mu, and if he loses the hearts of the people, the world may really change hands."

"You're right," Dong Yichang sighed, and said harshly, "But our top priority is to get out of the control of these bandits. One day, Lord Japan will never let them go!"

And Dong Cheng is a person who can observe words and expressions, and has a lot of calculations in his heart. He rolled his eyes a few times, and then he made up his mind, "Master, I don't think it's better..."

Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin were on the roof, and Dong Cheng whispered in Dong Yichang's ear, so Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin didn't hear what he said afterwards.

After Dong Cheng finished talking in Dong Yichang's ear, Dong Yichang thought deeply, "Is this method feasible?"

"Master, if you don't try, you will definitely not succeed. You have to try to know if you succeed."

Dong Yichang thought for a while, as if he had made up his mind, "Just do as you said, you go down first, this matter must not be let to a third person, understand?"

Dong Cheng's heart was "seven orifices and exquisite", and he said immediately, "What is the master talking about? I didn't hear anything just now." Dong Cheng also looked at Dong Yichang and smiled.

Dong Yichang was very satisfied with Dong Cheng's reaction, "Well, you go out first."

"Yes, master." Dong Cheng took the tray and returned it, not forgetting to close the door.
