In the previous life, the remnants of the previous dynasty suddenly appeared after a hundred years of floods, and soon occupied Nanling, and the chaos in the mountain plains that had just been pacified broke out again, and the exiled military households in the northern frontier conspired with the remnants of the previous dynasty to besiege the Great Shang army in order to return to the life of normal people, and Beichang took advantage of the chaos to rob, and the Great Shang army with no money and no food was finally defeated, and he, the emperor, was also besieged in Kyoto.

One qiē was too sudden, and in just one year, the big business became history.

Shang Qing has been looking for where those people are hiding, the criminals in the prison of the Criminal Department have replaced their shadows, and even the children who have been replaced have become the main force of the rebellion, they all know this, but those people retreated too quickly at the beginning and did not catch the big fish. I didn't expect to accidentally crash into the stronghold of the previous dynasty today.

Shang Qing decided to stay after being silent, no matter what, the cancer of the previous dynasty could not grow like this.

Seeing that the eldest apprentice had already made up his mind to wade into this troubled water, Master Joy simply went to the stool behind him and told the apprentice what he had seen in the minds of the women.

"Master speculates that the people in the eight villages that have been slaughtered have become anti-thieves, or that some people in their families are anti-thieves, and those anti-thieves should be the beards who slaughtered the villages. Those people originally lived in a small ravine, and after the ground moved, they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to occupy Wuzhou. Those people can come to Pingyuan Village so quickly to live in these villages, and if they want to come to the county order, they should be their people. ”

The peasant woman didn't know much, and Master Joy didn't get much useful information, so he picked up the important ones and said them.

Although Shang Qing didn't know how Master knew these things, he believed it.

Shang Qing tapped his fingers on the table and hesitated, "Why did those people do this?" Could it be that he wants to occupy this county, but he doesn't need to spend so much time. Shang Qing couldn't figure out the reason for this.

"Let's see what to do now." Master Joy reminded. Since the big apprentice didn't want to leave, it was naturally impossible to stay here in vain.

"I remember that Wuzhou joined the army as the cousin of the Five Princes. If he knew that these so-called beards were from the previous dynasty, they would definitely come to fight for this work. ”

Now that the princes are growing up one by one, their ambitions are gradually revealed.

The maternal ancestor of the fifth prince Shang Wen was a general of the dynasty, with 300,000 troops. Now that Wuzhou's army is only a junior who has come out to train, Shang Qing believes that he has enough ability to catch these thieves, and no matter how bad it is, there is still the Meng family behind him, such an opportunity to add merit to the five princes and the Meng family, Shang Qing does not believe that they will let go.

Master Xile also thinks that this plan is feasible, and anyway, Shang Qing will not have less credit. As for the grass, it will be done by the five princes. Anyway, in the past few decades, the more low-key the Shangqing, the better.

The two briefly discussed what needed to be done next. That night, Shang Qing sent someone to tell Meng Hongyuan that Wuzhou had joined the army.

As soon as Meng Hongyuan returned home, he heard from the housekeeper that the Nine Emperor Princes had sent a letter to him. He had known about the Nine Emperor Sons' inspection of the disaster area on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and of course he also knew that the emperor suddenly mentioned such a Nine Emperor Prince, who had never shown his face, because this time the crown prince was not suitable, and the emperor didn't want other sons to take the lead and do it deliberately.

For this sudden appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes. Meng Hongyuan naturally paid attention to it. When he heard that he had gone to Lin'an City for the first time, he immediately laughed, and then stopped paying attention. Lin'an is just a slightly larger port, and now that everyone is dead, there is not even a single person to woo, I really don't know what the Nine Emperor Princes think.

However, it was only a few days before he ran from Lin'an in Nanyuan Mansion to Hongxing Mansion. Or to a small county town that I had never heard of.

Meng Hongyuan took the letter and was really curious about what the Nine Emperor Princes were looking for him.

Meng Hongyuan's original carelessness when he looked at the letter had been replaced by surprise.

It is inconceivable that there are remnants of the former dynasty stationed not far from his territory.

"Hurry up and ask Uncle Eight to come over. Let's just say that I have something urgent to discuss! Meng Hongyuan shouted hurriedly, and immediately changed his words: "Forget it, I'll go on a trip myself." As he spoke, he took the letter and hurried to find someone.

"Eighth uncle, what do you think of the things written in this letter?" Meng Hongyuan didn't wait for Meng Deyi to finish reading the letter and asked hurriedly.

Meng Deyi is a side branch of the Meng family. The factor is that there are points and resourcefulness, so he was arranged by the old general of the Meng family to be a strategist under Meng Hongyuan's account. Meng Hongyuan usually takes a fancy to this clan uncle, and he always has to ask for advice about anything.

Meng Hongyuan's frowning brows never let go, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you think about joining the army?" ”

Meng Deyi's fingers rubbed the letter a few times. "I think we should take a trip. Now there is nothing big in Wuzhou City, and he has been helping to deal with the affected people since he joined the army. If it's good, it's going to be like that for the rest of the day. It's better to go to Zhouxiang for a trip, if the anti-thief thing is fake, destroying the bandits can also make the prestige of joining the army more victorious, if the anti-thief thing is true, it can lead to big fish better, and His Royal Highness's followers in the emperor can also increase some weight. ”

Meng Hongyuan nodded in agreement, "Okay, that's it?" We gathered our men and set out immediately to take those people by surprise. ”

The letter from the Nine Emperor Princes stated that he would arrange for the victims to go to the county government office to complain about grievances tomorrow, and when the time came, he would raise the matter of suppressing the bandits.

Meng Hongyuan's side made intensive arrangements to cooperate with the suppression of bandits, and Shang Qing also arranged for someone to make things bigger.

Day 2

The water vapor was still heavy in the early morning, and the people living in the county town of Zhou Xiang had already begun to work, and the sudden shouting attracted all the attention.

"The young man who is still alive in Pingyuan Village went to the county government to ask for a county order to suppress the bandits! Let's go and see it! ”

"The daughters who got married in Pingyuan Village have all gone to the county government to beg the lord to suppress the bandits! Let's go and see it! ”

"Ahh The girls who got married in Daliu Village also went! It's all poor people! ”

Several shouts or discussions sounded, and all the people who were killed and suppressed were heard running towards the county office.

After the earth movement, eight villages have been burned down by the beard killer, although they live in the county town and do not have to worry, but there is also a panic, especially those women who have lost their mother's home are about to cry and go blind. Now they don't dare to come out of the county, for fear of encountering those elusive beards and suffering. When they heard that they were going to suppress the bandits, they couldn't help but applaud.

One by one, soon the gate of the county government was blocked tightly.

Shang Qing sat aside, and Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao stood next to the master.

Zhou Xiang County ordered Zhou Yunshan to sit in the right position, and there was no abnormality on his fat face, but a flash of urgency flashed in his eyes from time to time.

He never thought that the Nine Emperor Princes Disaster Relief would come to his small county town, and he also took care of his affairs, hoping that his seizure of land would not happen.
