The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Yes, it was them. They came to us and told us that the government wanted to suppress the bandits." The big boss said, "They also said that this time the government's suppression of bandits is different from the past. The leader is not the local officials of Huizhou, but a Jingyang King from Chang'an City. As long as we can kill the leader Jingyang King, the rest of the people will disperse."

"Then you took their money, but you didn't do anything." Li Fu said with interest.

"Humph, we are not stupid. You are a noble from Chang'an City. If you are killed by bandits in Huizhou, it will not only be the local army of Huizhou that will be mobilized. You are a king after all." The big boss said: "So, no one can touch you. Otherwise, no matter if it is robbery, murder, or extortion, no one in Huizhou will have a good end."

"Well, you are quite smart." Li Fu praised: "You know this is a way to die."

"In the past, every time the government came to suppress the bandits, we just ran away. We just wanted to survive. "I just went there. If you fight with the people of the court, no matter you win or lose, you will not get a good result. You can't beat the army, so you can only run away."

"What about those people who went up the mountain yesterday?" Li Fu asked, "Since you didn't listen to their advice, did they leave these treasures to you?"

"I tied them up and locked them in the utility room." The big boss said, "Every grievance has its own perpetrator. It's not us who want to do something to you, but they want to kill you. They also said that it was the master behind them who asked them to come to us."

The big boss told Li Fu everything they said yesterday.

Let these nobles fight. They are not good people in the first place. They want to use themselves as shields. I will overturn the table for you.

Even if I can't survive, none of you can have a good life.

One is to kill people, and the other is to be killed by others. You two can continue to fight each other.

Li Fu smiled. It was almost the same as he expected. No one would attack a prince for no reason.

Just like the assassination on the Lantern Festival, there would be no reason.

"Bai Yunquan, take two people who saw those ten people going up the mountain to the front mountain stronghold and take over those ten people." Li Fu said.

"Yes!" Bai Yunquan bowed his hand and responded.

In the mountain stronghold in front, the army quickly took over the entire stronghold, and the rest who did not have time to escape were also arrested.

The governor brought people from the government office to the place where the ten people were detained.

When those people saw that it was the governor, a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.

"What are you doing up the mountain?" The governor asked these people.

Although we don't know where these people came from, they were definitely not kidnapped by bandits at the foot of the mountain. If a caravan was attacked and kidnapped by bandits outside Huizhou City, the government would definitely know the news first. Moreover, for so many years, bandits have never done anything to help people get ransom. They only extort passing merchants and leave after taking the money. Large-scale kidnapping and killing have never happened.

So the governor thought that this matter was strange and brought people to take a look.

"Governor Yang, there is no one around now, please do us a favor and let us go."

"Let you go?" The governor frowned and sneered, "Why, this crime will be borne by me in the end? You have a good plan, but I can't do this."

"Governor Yang, help us this time." The man said.

"Although I don't know who the master behind you is, you can't run away in the public eye, and I can't help you." The governor said.

When he saw these people and heard what they said, he knew that they came to the mountain with a purpose. They originally wanted to use these bandits in the mountain to do something, but they failed. They didn't expect these bandits in the mountain to be so vulnerable and flee without a fight.

"I don't want to know what your purpose is, but at the same time, this matter has nothing to do with me, so don't waste your words. If King Jingyang really finds out your origins in the future, it will be your own fault." The governor sneered.

If the bandit suppression this time is successful, it will be fine. If it fails, he, the local chief, will also be to blame, not to mention that if Li Fu has any problems in Huizhou, the emperor will be furious and he will also be blamed.

The masters behind these people are planning to bypass him, the governor, and take action on his territory. They don't care about him at all. Why should he clean up the mess for the other party?

His words are just to these people.Just a reminder.

After saying that, he led his men away.

Without even asking, they knew that the target of these people was King Jingyang.

After the governor left, these people were completely desperate.

They thought they would see "their own people".

But it was clear that the governor was not convenient and didn't want to care.

If they met Li Fu later, would the King of Jingyang believe them if they lied that they were kidnapped by bandits and brought to the mountain?

They would never betray their own master.

After the governor met them, he was relieved. If the people behind them were "acquaintances", the conversation between the two sides would not be those contents when they met just now.

It can only mean that the people behind them are known to themselves, but they are not so close, and they are not people on the same road.

Then there is no need to take the risk of doing anything superfluous.

As for trouble, it is not their own trouble.

After the governor took his men away, someone else came.

This time, it was a fire captain in the mountain bandit suppression team.

He looked around, carefully avoided the guards, and walked into the house.

.......

Bai Yunquan brought two people to the front mountain and met the general leading the troops.

"The people you mentioned were all imprisoned in the utility room by the bandits. They are still there. Guard Bai can go and see them." The general leading the troops said.

"Thank you, General."

Bai Yunquan bowed his hands and saluted, then took two people to the utility room mentioned by the general.

There were still people guarding around the utility room, but the door was closed and the surroundings were messy. Even if they were guarding here, they would not keep an eye on this room all the time.

Bai Yunquan walked to the door and stopped.

He frowned.

There was indeed a fight in this mountain stronghold. It was called a fight, but it was actually a one-sided killing.

But around this room...

Bai Yunquan smelled blood.
