Chapter 242: Jiangsi County Chapter 10
"The princess is very perceptive. w [Update quickly, please search]" Ning Yuanxing praised.
"It's easy to guess!" Elegy's gaze fell on Si Chen, glanced at him lightly, and then looked away, "Actually, I also sent someone to investigate, that Wangjun guard was a thief and had something to do with the bandits." β
"It's not as bad as what I learned, this county official and thief colluded, and the people were also very uneasy."
"Feeling restless?" Elegy had a slight hint at this wording, she remembered the scene downstairs just now, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like the people were restless, but she felt that their lives were quite comfortable, and they even had spare money to eat at the inn.
Ning Yuanxing saw through the idea of elegy at a glance, he shook his head and explained: "Those girls will be so ......" Ning Yuanxing thought about the wording and said: "...... It's hot for a reason, and it's not just because of me. β
"Oh? What are the reasons? Could it be that it has something to do with those bandits. The elegy is just so casually said, who knew that Ning Yuanxing showed an appreciative gaze, wouldn't it, did she really guess it?
The reason why those young women were so keen on Ning Yuanxing was indeed related to that group of bandits.
In the past, the bandits were indeed mainly robbing the business travelers who passed through the mountain roads, but since they formed an alliance with Wang Junshou and his gang, they have become more and more rampant, and their hearts have become bigger and bigger.
Every year in March and April, the bandits would come down to the mountain and take people captive.
Regarding this matter, Wang Junshou also turned a blind eye, but when the people were forced to be anxious, he would take a look and send a few people to the mountains to encircle and suppress the group of bandits.
Each time, they can bring back a lot of people, but it won't be long before these bandits will return to the mountains without realizing it.
This is simply a palliative rather than a cure, because this matter is also closely related to the interests of Wang Junshou, and the benefits obtained from every human trafficking. He can also get a lot of money, which is one of his important financial resources, and of course he will not really do it.
Gradually, the people were also disappointed with the county guard of Jiangsi County. had to rely on themselves, since the bandits only caught young women who were not married, then they had to marry people before that, and it just so happened. Ning Yuanxing came at such a nervous time, and he was a rare high-quality man, of course the women would not let go of this opportunity.
This is also the reason why so many women rushed to see his daughter's family despite the reserve.
When Elegy learned of this, she was surprisingly angry, and she slammed the teacup on the table, splashing water, and the other people present couldn't help but look at her.
"It's so arrogant! It's just a group of thieves, who are so blatant that they are blatant, is there still a king in their eyes? β
"Even the officials are involved. How could those bandits still have a royal law? Ning Yuanxing said leisurely, compared to the anger of the elegy, he seemed much calmer, maybe he had been shocked, maybe he was really calm.
"How can you be so calm? Don't you feel angry? is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, to be able to do such a thing, they are a little too bold! "Jiangsi County is not too far from the Imperial City, only a few hundred miles away, but such a thing happened, but no one has mentioned this matter before!
Ning Yuanxing glanced at her. said lightly: "Does the princess have any plans?" β
"Of course, find evidence of Wang Junshou's collusion with the bandits, and then bring them to justice!"
Since the emperor asked her to go south to inspect, she couldn't just make a show and encounter such a thing. Naturally, she also has to fulfill her responsibilities, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, let her end it!
The elegy is full of ambition and enthusiasm, and it is bound to do something great in this inspection, and I don't want to. Ning Yuanxing immediately poured a basin of cold water on her.
"So how does the princess want to implement it? Pai Si Chensi Dusk infiltrates the county government to find evidence? And then send an army to encircle and suppress this group of mountain bandits? Ning Yuanxing asked lightly.
Elegy raised his eyebrows and replied as a matter of course: "Of course, since this matter has been encountered by me, I can't sit idly by, isn't this also the purpose of our southern tour?" β
"Then the princess has ever thought about it, why is Jiangsi County so smoky, but no one plays it to the court?"
Elegy blinked, this was still easy to think of, and she replied, "Since the county guard of Jiangsi County is all in the gang with bandits, how could he tell others such a thing?" β
"Really?" Ning Yuanxing smiled and asked again, "Even if the county guard doesn't say it, but there are so many people in Jiangsi County, why didn't anyone go to the imperial city to sue the emperor?" Have you ever thought about it? β
"This ......" Elegy suddenly couldn't say why, she lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally hesitated: "Could it be that there are Wang Chengxian's people in the imperial city, and they have hidden this matter for him?" β
Elegy can only think of this possibility now, and this is also the most likely situation, because Jiangsi County does not restrict the entry and exit of people in the county, if someone really wants to sue the emperor, Wang Chengxian can't stop it, but after so many years, I have never heard of the collusion between the county guard and the bandits.
If it weren't for the fact that the people were too stupid and didn't even know how to defend their own rights and interests, it was because the people in the imperial city had already killed people before those who sued the emperor told the truth.
The first possibility is too low, judging from the reactions of those women, they are obviously still actively resisting, so it can only be the second case, but who is hiding this matter for Wang Chengxian?
Elegy cast his puzzled gaze on Ning Yuanxing, hoping to get an answer from him.
Ning Yuanxing smiled helplessly, "Princess, I am not omniscient and omnipotent, and I don't know who is covering Wang Chengxian at present." β
"I thought you didn't know anything." Elegy was a little disappointed.
"Although I don't know who the person above Wang Chengxian is, I can guess some."
"Huh? So, you're still a little brow-raising, aren't you? Elegy asked, "Who is helping Wang Chengxian?" β
"The people who can quietly cover up these things in the imperial city must also have some background, and the power in the imperial city is definitely not small, and there are only a few who can do it without us noticing."
In the imperial city, there are three major families that form a three-legged trend, including the Du family of the queen's family, the Lu family who controls the heavy army, and the Wei family, which is a big family.
Then, only the Du family and the Wei family were left, Elegy pondered for a while, and asked, "Could that be someone from the Wei family?" β
Ning Yuanxing was stunned for a moment, "How could the princess think of the Wei family?" β
"Uh...... I came up with it by elimination. Elegy scratched the back of his head, still a little embarrassed, "Because the Du family is now doing their best to help Luo Jia to seize the heir, there is no need to be at this juncture, and for a county guard, on the other hand, the Wei family, because it is a family with a long history, there are many disciples, maybe there is Wang Chengxian among them, and it seems reasonable to help his own disciples." β
The elegy is just a random thought, and there is no real evidence for this, so after saying it, I regret it a little.
No, Ning Yuanxing smiled appreciatively and said, "The princess has also done a lot of homework over the years, and she knows a lot." β
"What? Am I right? The elegy lit up.
Her beaming expression made Ning Yuanxing smile again, and he nodded, "Although it's not all right, it's almost the same as I thought, indeed, Wang Chengxian is the protΓ©gΓ© of Wei Chenliang, the head of the Wei family, and the two often have private contacts, if Wei Chenliang has the heart to help him solve that matter, it is not a difficult matter." β
"Sure enough, it is the officials who protect each other, since Wei Chenliang is also involved in this matter, can we take this opportunity to bring down the Wei family in one fell swoop?" Elegy suddenly thought of this level.
This Wei family, although it is a family member, has secretly done a lot of things that hurt the heavens and reason, and it is not bad to be able to bring them down through this matter, and it is not bad to eliminate the harm in the name.
Ning Yuanxing shook his head, and he said lightly: "Now is not the time to bring down the Wei family. β
"Huh? Why? "Elegy is a new hand in this regard after all, and he doesn't think as deeply as Ning Yuanxing.
"The three major families in the Imperial City, the Du family, the Lu family, the Wei family, the three families have become a strong force, if one side loses, it will inevitably be quickly absorbed by the other two, who do you think will benefit the most?"
Although the strength of the Du family is comparable to that of the Lu family, if you think about it, the people of the Lu family are not as long-sleeved and good at dancing as the Du family, so in the end, it will definitely be the people of the Du family, which is not a good thing for Elegy.
Considering the battle for succession, now is definitely not the opportunity to bring down the Wei family, besides, just relying on a county guard can't really shake the foundation of the Wei family, and not only can the Wei family be brought down at that time, but maybe it will also set up a strong enemy for itself.
This matter is not advisable, and the emperor, considering the stability of the imperial court, will definitely not let the elegy mess up like this.
Elegy can't think about such a deep level now, and if she really tells her like this, maybe it will cause her disgust, Ning Yuanxing thought of her temper, and it was very likely that he would do the opposite, so he said: "This matter is considered in the long run, don't act rashly first, if there is anything, discuss it with me before doing it." β
"And what about the bandits?"
"Now that we're here, do you think they're still rampant?" Ning Yuanxing smiled faintly.
When Elegy saw his smile like that, he knew that there would be no problem with it.
She exhaled, looked at him with burning eyes, smiled, and said, "That's right, with you, they will definitely not be arrogant anymore." β
She is still very relieved about Ning Yuanxing's ability. (To be continued.) )>
