Chapter 577: Burning Mountain
The night was cold, Lu Shuo walked out of the study, and the light behind him was gradually thrown away, but the cold sweat was still flowing on his forehead, until he was blown by the cold wind, and then gradually recovered.
The little servant silently his lantern beside him, Lu Shuo saw it, took it and let him go down, and walked back slowly on the path alone, and when he returned to the main courtyard, the whole person had recovered as before.
It's just that, I can't say that he really thinks too much, what kind of person is the prince? Even if there are such good men now, it is also despicable, the fourth prince is a clear example, he is good, when he saw the prince deliberately approaching, he couldn't help but think more.
Thinking like this, Lu Shuo stayed in the courtyard for a while before slowly returning to the main courtyard.
Early the next morning, the sky was still gray outside, and the Lu family's house was woken up from outside, Lu Shuo slept shallowly, even if he woke up, when he heard that the person who was sent to Qishan to guard had something important to report, Lu Shuo was full of joy, and he didn't care about breakfast, so he went to the front yard in good spirits.
The front yard room was full of people, the prince was dressed in homely clothes, sitting in the middle, and next to him sat two people brought from Beijing.
"Your Highness. ”
Lu Shuo walked in from outside, glanced at the prince, and saw that he was just smiling and nodding at himself, so he turned around and talked to others again, no different from yesterday, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he really thought too much.
His status was noble, and another adviser asked him to sit down next to the main seat, and Lu Shuo asked him, "I heard the movement in the front yard early in the morning, what's wrong?"
Na Shi shook his head and said, "I can't say it clearly in a few words, Master Hou might as well listen to General Pang in detail." ”
Lu Shuo nodded, and the man in uniform said what he was going to report without hesitation.
After the prince gave the order yesterday, these people immediately sent troops to surround Qishan, seeing that it was densely surrounded, Pang Xiaojun took a team of people into the mountain, but only found six women in a cave, as for the person dressed in southern Yunnan that Lu Shuo said yesterday, there was no one.
At this time, the prince had already finished talking to people, Xu was talking about the affairs of the court, and after listening to the matter, he took the door and left, and the prince turned around and said, "Where are the six women now?"
Pang Xiaojun said: "Just press in the wing, Your Highness wants to see you now?"
The prince frowned and thought for a while without speaking.
Lu Shuo heard that he knew what he meant, so he suggested: "Your Highness is inconvenient to see these women, besides, they should have been abducted for a long time, I am afraid that they have already been frightened, if we are asked to interrogate again, it is still a question whether they can be interrogated." However, there are two grandmothers in the Weichen Mansion who have been in the palace for a long time, and it is very simple to interrogate these girls. ”
Although these two grandmothers were only given birth at the right time, they had seen a lot of private affairs in the palace, and they came in handy at this time.
The prince was relieved when he heard this, and said, "Just according to what Aiqing said." ”
An hour later, the two grandmothers came to the study after checking and explained the characteristics of the women.
It turned out that these women had been broken, but it was not caused by copulation, and the two grandmothers interrogated for a long time before they realized that they had been ground down with an iron pestle. And according to what they said, these people bought them in the past, except for the second day they were taken blood and humiliated, but at other times they did not suffer any serious crimes, but they were locked up in the house and not called out, some of them survived, and some of them went mad or died, and completely lost their lives.
Even though the few people present were men, they were also a little frightened when they heard this result, and the prince calmed down for a long time before continuing to ask: "You can poke out of their mouths, where did the people who captured them go?"
"This ......"
The two old ladies shook their heads, with a look of embarrassment: "These girls are all locked up, the house is dark and opaque, I only heard some movement in the house next to me in the evening, and then there was no sound, knowing that the little general rescued them, these people saw the light of day again." ”
The prince was a little disappointed, but Lu Shuo's eyes lit up and asked, "Mama said it was a movement you heard in the evening?"
The grandmothers didn't know why he asked, but they nodded honestly and said, "Exactly." ”
Lu Shuo's face was relieved, and he turned his head and asked General Pang: "General Pang entered the mountain yesterday, do you still remember the terrain in Qi Mountain?"
Qi Mountain is not very big, otherwise the prince would not be domineering and directly let people close the mountain, so General Pang has already figured out the terrain inside, and when he heard Lu Shuo ask, he nodded and said, "Naturally, there is." ”
Then he called a subordinate to come over, and after a while, the subordinate found a map to come over, although the painting on it was simple, but the appearance of Qishan was roughly drawn.
Lu Shuo looked at it for a while, his face calmed down a little, and he raised his head and asked, "Aside from the largest mountain exit and the hidden mountain exit, are there any other exits on this mountain?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people present lit up, and they heard General Pang say: "Xiaochen dares to pack tickets, except for these two holes, there is no other exit."
"That's fine. ”
Lu Shuo nodded with a smile and said to the prince: "Your Highness, when we came back yesterday, these two exits were guarded, since no one came out, presumably these people are still hiding in the mountain, take a look......"
Obviously, these people are still in the mountains, as long as they are found, but how to find them, this is another question?
Directly into the mountains to search?
Although Qi Mountain is small, it is not something that can be found in a while, just like General Pang has searched for a long time yesterday, but he has found nothing, which shows how secret these people are hidden.
Trapped mountains starve them to death?
It's spring, and there's a stream in the mountains, so it's obviously not going to work.
"Senior brother has an idea in his heart?"
The prince thought for a while, and when he turned his head and saw the old god Lu Shuo sitting there, he immediately smiled.
Lu Shuo's eyes turned around the room, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he thought about it and said, "There is one, but whether His Highness will agree or not." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"Set fire to the mountain!"
Lu Shuo said word by word, categorically.
What the?
Although there were not many people in the room, after hearing Lu Shuo say these four words, they all turned their heads to look at him, their faces full of surprise and disbelief.
I didn't expect this Hou Ye to be so ruthless.
The huge Qi Mountain, if it is less, then it can still be gained? Will it hurt the innocent and not to mention, this mountain can be regarded as a waste.
The prince obviously wants the same thing, that is, he wants to arrest this group of people, and he doesn't want to make such a big deal at the moment.
