Lu Weixin frowned, "Are you really going to use troops?" Last time she said, he didn't believe it yet, but now it seems that he is really going to be bloodbathed.

Guo Wenying nodded, "I have already ordered Xu Heng to be on standby at any time, you can also prepare, at most a month, the southeast rebellion will inevitably have an ending." ”

Lu Weixin sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade her, he was afraid that his father's hard work would be in vain, and he was afraid that it would not be long before the emperor would come to the southeast. He thought about it for a while, but it was better not to tell Guo Wenying, this girl was too bold, and if there was no one to treat her, she might cause a lot of trouble.

Bloody southeast, she really dares to do it.

The ransom letters sent by the bandits had a great effect on all the official residences in Fuzhou, including the governor of Fujian.

He searched for several days but could not find any trace of the bandits, as if they had disappeared, but could not be found. It is said that as long as they are in the territory of Fuzhou, there is no place where they can't find it, where will people hide?

He was puzzled, and after receiving a blackmail letter, he actually asked him for 200,000 taels of silver.

With such a huge amount, how could he be willing to take it out, and after thinking for a while, he had to go to Li Qingyu to ask for an idea, this salt transport envoy is the backbone of these officials at present.

He came to the Li family's annex in Fuzhou, a well-known scenic garden.

As soon as they stepped into the garden, they were shocked by this chic and elegant, finely carved garden, and their Fuzhou officials said that they had made a lot of money, but it was really not as good as the fingers of this salt envoy. Look at where people live, even though the courtyard where they lived for a few days was like this, how much the fuck did they have to fish?

He secretly scolded this turtle grandson for eating meat, so he asked them to drink some soup, but he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, and followed his subordinates into the flower hall with a humble face, and the smile on his face didn't dare to disperse at all.

When he entered the door, Li Qingyu was looking at a kettle watering a green peony flower, his expression was both leisurely and focused, but he did not have the panic and frustration of his wife being arrested.

Hu Yanyu took a few steps to meet him, smacked his lips and said, "I said Lao Li, you are also Jiang Taigong sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, why are you not in a hurry at all?"

Li Qingyu raised his head and glanced at him, "What if you're in a hurry?

Hu Yanyu sighed, this Lord Li is really big-hearted, he has been married to a little daughter-in-law for a few years, so he doesn't believe he doesn't want it. He said: "Let the money be ransom, otherwise you will have to tear up the ticket." I said you didn't get the ransom letter?"

Li Qingyu snorted, "Naturally, I received it." ”

"Then what do you think, do you pay this money or not?"

Li Qingyu didn't answer him, handed the kettle in his hand to the maid on the side, and wiped his hands with a white towel with gold wire.

At this time, someone served tea, he sat on the main seat, and made a gesture to Hu Yanyu, "Master Hu will sit down and have a cup of tea first, and rest for a while." ”

Hu Yanyu calmed down again, took a sip of the teacup in his hand, and said busily: "What do you think, can you also give me a bottom?"

Li Qingyu took a sip of tea and smiled slightly, "You should first tell me how much you have found out about the details of the bandits." ”

Hu Yanyu said: "Check, what can be found? Until now, I don't even know where those people are." He said and said: "But to be honest, it's not that I haven't found out at all, I sent a lot of people down, I can't figure it out, the bandit leader is named Du Erhei, but the original water bandit on Taihu Lake, somehow found Fuzhou to commit a crime." ”

Li Qingyu glanced at him, "That's all you find?"

Hu Yanyu said: "That's it." ”

Li Qingyu snorted, "It seems that Master Hu hasn't done much." This Du Erhei left Taihu Lake in a few months, where he went during this time, and who people he came into contact with, do you really not know anything about it?"

Hu Yanyu was stunned, "Could it be that Lord Li has any news?"

Li Qingyu's face was slightly ugly, in fact, he didn't get any exact news, just some Du Erhei's identity. Regarding where Du Erhei went after leaving Taihu Lake, he checked many places but couldn't find it, this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and hundreds of water bandits in Taihu Lake also disappeared. There was no trace of it.

In fact, this is also because Guo Wenying operates well, when she asked Xu Hai to incorporate Du Erhei and others into the navy, she expected that one day someone would make a fuss about Du Erhei's identity. However, at that time, I didn't want Du Erhei to be employed, just to remove the hidden dangers, let Xu Hai erase all the traces of the Taihu Lake bandits, and changed Du Erhei to a new name, called Du Zhao.

Everyone else knows Du Zhao, how can they know Du Erhei, and they don't know the relationship between Du Zhao and Du Erhei, he listened to Guo Wenying's order and turned back into a water bandit, and for a while, he couldn't find his whereabouts for more than five months. It's no wonder that Hu Yanyu and Li Qingyu sent many people out, but they couldn't find them, no wonder they didn't do their best, they can only say that Guo Wenying was too prescient. With Xu Hai coming forward to erase the traces, and with 80,000 sailors as cover, even the most clever spies may not be able to find them, and who knows that they have been co-opted?

However, Li Qingyu is not an idle person, and he is not so easy to fool.

At this moment, he smiled coldly and said: "Master Hu, do you really think that this was done by a group of water bandits? Who are those water bandits, a group of water ghosts on Taihu Lake, who usually help salvage corpses, make some money from the dead, and rob them when they meet a fat sheep.

Hu Yanyu smacked his lips, "I don't believe it either, but the facts are here, and it took us a lot of effort to find out that it was Du Erhei's belt." ”

He didn't know that the reason why he was able to find Du Erhei was because Guo Wenying wanted him to find out, if she didn't want to, he couldn't even find out who this gang of bandits was.

Li Qingyu was angry when he saw him like that, and secretly scolded a bunch of fools, if only it were so simple on the surface. That is, because this is not his territory, his power cannot be exerted, if he is in the land of Lianghuai, what can he not do?

Hu Yanyu said: "I said Master Li, what are you worried about, you always say that there is someone behind this, who is behind this? You also tell me, we have to see who is planted in the hands of whom, right?"

Li Qingyu pondered for a while, "Actually, I can't say who is here, but I always feel that it has nothing to do with the one in the Governor's Palace. ”

Hu Yanyu pouted, "That, Guo Wenying, she is a woman, can she do such a thing? I said Master Li, just think about it, don't think about it, then she is also a second-grade official, a second-grade court official, can collude with the bandits? What is she doing this for? Collect the extorted silver?"
