"Brother Cai, who is stationed in this town?" Thinking that the people outside who occupied the city were likely to come to find the Ming army, Li Yuntian groaned for a while, put down the water cup in his hand and asked Cai Fu on the side.

"If there is no mobilization, the leader of the rebels here is a cousin of Le Li, named Li Hai." Cai Fu thought for a while and replied that when he and Fan You went to attack Sanjiang City half a month ago, Li Hai saw them off as the rebel guard of Fengmu Town.

"What is your relationship with this Li Hai?" Li Yuntian asked quietly when he heard this.

"The villain is under the fence in the rebels, and in order to protect himself, he has given gifts to many people, including Li Hai, who is greedy and arrogant, relying on the fact that he is Li Li's clansmen have privately looted the people's fat and ointment, and the relationship with the villain is acceptable." Cai Fu was a little strange, and he didn't know why Li Yuntian was interested in Li Hai, so he answered truthfully.

"Bring the baggage." Hearing that he was greedy and arrogant, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, and he shouted to a native soldier standing at the door with a burden on his back.

In order to stabilize the shape of Xuanhua Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and Sanjiang Mansion, Li Yuntian asked people to raid the homes of the Shangjia clan in collusion with the rebels in the Three Mansions, and then collected a lot of property.

This time, Li Yuntian went to see Li Li, and brought a total of three major burdens of property, which were gifts from him to Li Li to show the sincerity of this negotiation.

"Give this to Li Hai and let him release the people who occupy the city outside." Li Yuntian picked out a delicate jewelry box from the belongings in the baggage, opened it and saw that it was filled with gold and silver jewelry, then closed the lid and handed it to Cai Fu on the side.

"My lord, for what reason?" Cai Fu asked after taking the jewelry box.

Since Annan and Champa are feuding, and the presence of Champa people here at this time is extremely abnormal, if you want Li Hai to let them go, you must have a good excuse, otherwise it will inevitably make Li Hai suspicious and self-defeating.

Li Yuntian's brows suddenly frowned slightly, this is a difficult problem, not only does he feel that it is inappropriate for the people of Zhancheng to appear here, but Li Hai will also have this idea, which is to find a reason to fool the past.

"Let go of me, you let go of me!" Just when Li Yuntian was thinking of his idea, a woman's voice suddenly came from the corridor, shouting loudly in Jiaozhi dialect.

"You, a female spy who occupies the city, dare to beat Lao Tzu, see how Lao Tzu will clean you up when the time comes!" Then, a rude voice sounded, "Come on, bring them back to the camp, Lao Tzu will interrogate them strictly." ”

"They can't be allowed to take people away." Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel a little surprised, he never thought that there were women among those Zhancheng people, but the urgency of the situation did not allow him to think about it, if the rebels brought those Zhancheng people into the barracks, it would not be easy to fish them out, so he said to Cai Fu in a deep voice.

"You are spewing blood, I am from Hue Province, how can I be a spy in the city!" At this time, the previous female voice refuted in a coquettish voice, "The pacification of the king is strict in governing the army, you have already violated the military rules formulated by the prince by molesting the people's daughters, if you want to make things difficult again, I will definitely go to the prince to sue you!" ”

"Hmph, there are already many people in Hue Mansion who are secretly fornicating with Champong, you don't come sooner or later, but at this time you go to Sanjiang Mansion controlled by the Ming army, what is it if you are not a spy?" The rude voice sneered, "Whether it is a spy or not, it will be clear in the next trial." ”

"I have already sued you, we are in the medicinal herb business, and now that the prince has almost driven away the rebel army of the Ming Court, of course we, the merchants in the south, must take advantage of this opportunity to come north to open up the market." The female voice then explained coldly, "If the prince knows about your evil deeds, he will definitely punish you heavily." ”

"Oh, the little girl's temperament is quite strong!" The rude voice laughed loudly, as if he was not afraid of the woman's warning at all, and said ambiguously, "Lao Tzu likes to be fierce, wait until you go down to the barracks to see how Lao Tzu cleans you up." ”

"Take it away!" As he spoke, the rude voice gave the order in a deep voice.

"Let go of me, let go of me!" With this order, the female voice couldn't help but panic, and shouted loudly, "You robbed the people's girls in broad daylight, and the prince will definitely not let you go if he knows about it." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, he originally thought that it was the Champhans who clashed with the rebels in the corridor, but now it seems that this possibility has become a little slim.

Because this kind of fabricated excuse to rob people's women is not uncommon in wars, some soldiers and low-level military attaches often extort and **** women in the name of catching spies, so that those victims have suffering.

The rebel soldiers in Jiaozhi were all recruited by Li Li from the people, and it can be said that there are many dragons and snakes, and many rampant local ruffians and bullies in the countryside have taken the opportunity to join the rebels, so it is not surprising that there are rapes and plunder.

There was a sound of messy footsteps in the hallway, and the female voice also came from far and near, as if she had been forcibly dragged away.

Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, he had to make a decision now, whether to help those people in trouble in the corridor, although these people claimed to be from Hue Province, they were not likely to occupy the city.

Hue Province and Shenghua Province in the southernmost part of Cochin are the territories that Annam and Cham have been fighting for for hundreds of years, and the two sides take turns to rule, although Hue and Shenghua are now part of Cochin, but they were ruled by Champa 30 years ago, and were later recaptured by Le Ji Yen of Annam, and also captured a large area south of the two provinces.

It was not until Zhang Fu led his troops to conquer Annam and captured Le Ji Xuan alive that the Champa State took back the area south of Hue and Shenghua provinces.

As a result, many residents of Hue and Shenghua have close ties to the Champa state.

It is worth mentioning that the Champa state practiced a federal monarchy as a whole, dividing the country into five major regions ruled by hereditary chieftains.

Among them, the large area bordering the northern part of the Champa state and the state of Annam is called "Amoro Bodi", Hue Province and Shenghua Province used to be under its jurisdiction, since the state of Annam was destroyed by Zhang Fu, the relationship between the state of Champa and the people of these two regions has become increasingly close.

Although the rebels were the first to capture the southern region of Cochin, Hue Province and Shenghua Province have always been an unstable factor in the rear of the rebel army, and if it were not for the fear of the Ming Dynasty, the Champa State would definitely send troops to attack those rebels to prevent Cochin from breaking away from the Ming Dynasty.

It was precisely because of the complicated situation in Hue and Shenghua provinces that the rebel in the corridor would arrest the woman who spoke on suspicion of being a spy of the Champa state.

"Don't let those rebels take people away!" After a while, Li Yuntian made a decision and said to Cai Fu in a deep voice.

Although the current information indicates that the woman who spoke outside was a family member of a medicinal herb merchant in Hue Province, Li Yuntian felt that things were very strange, and now Sanjiang Mansion was a huge battlefield, even if the merchants wanted to seize the market in Sanjiang Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and Xuanhua Mansion, they should not bring their female dependents with them.

Of course, if the merchants were carrying concubines or maids, it was normal to serve them on the road, but judging from the tone of the woman in the corridor, this woman was definitely not a concubine or a maid, so it seemed very unreasonable, what merchant would take his family to venture here?

As the saying goes, the opposite must be demonic, Li Yuntian thought that the woman in the corridor was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface, so he decided to find out, anyway, he had Cai Fu by his side, so there was no need to use it in vain.

Cai Fu nodded to Li Yuntian when he heard this, then pushed the door and walked out, after listening to the movement in the corridor before, he already had a corresponding countermeasure.

In the corridor, twenty or thirty rebels escorted several people in cross-toe costumes towards the staircase, and one of them, a tall and pretty woman in men's clothes, with long burgundy hair, was dragged forward by two rebels, struggling and shouting at the rebels around her.

Although the pretty woman has delicate cheeks and looks similar to that of a Ming woman, her facial contours are deeper, and she looks like a mixed-race child.

A stout rebel leader walked beside the pretty woman in a daze, with an extremely ambiguous look on his face, as a man, Cai Fu knew at a glance what he was thinking at this time.

The movement in the corridor had already alarmed the diners in the private rooms on both sides, and because there were not many customers in the restaurant now, they were basically the residents of the town, who gathered at the door and looked at the rebels and pretty women with surprised expressions, talking to each other and whispering to each other.

"Stop!" Seeing that the stout rebel leader was about to take the pretty woman downstairs, Cai Fu stepped forward quickly and blocked their way sideways.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? The stout rebel leader glanced up at Cai Fu, and asked with some dissatisfaction, if it weren't for Cai Fu wearing rebel clothes, he wouldn't have bothered to give him more words, and directly let his subordinates beat him away.

"The prince once issued a proclamation and agreed with the people in three chapters: 'The people have been suffering from abuse of government for a long time, and all the states and counties they go to, there is no crime in the autumn, and the cattle valley of the non-puppet officials (Ming Dynasty government) is not allowed to be taken indiscriminately, although they are very hungry and poor.'" Cai Fu didn't answer, but looked at the stout rebel leader with an expressionless face, "Have you forgotten the prince's admonition?" ”

"This official is arresting the spies who occupy the city, who are you, who dare to stop this official from performing his official duties!" The stout rebel leader was slightly stunned when he heard this, he never thought that Cai Fu would use Li Li to suppress him, and then sneered and asked rhetorically.

"Whether it is to arrest the spies or harass the people, you don't care, General Li Hai will have a verdict at that time." Facing the rebel leader in front of him, Cai Fu had no pressure and said quietly, "Do you want us to go and see General Li?" ”

"You...... Do you know General Lai? The stout rebel leader's eyes showed a look of consternation, as the saying goes, the county official is not as good as the current management, Fengmu Town is Li Hai's defense area, and this rebel leader is naturally Li Hai's subordinate.

"Originally, the official wanted to go and see General Li, but the official has important business, so I bother you to hand over this thing to General Li." Cai Fu glanced at the stout rebel leader with a cold expression, and handed him the jewelry box in his hand, "Sue General Sù Li, this official is the one who punishes himself with three cups." ”

After speaking, Cai Fu ignored the stout rebel leader who looked at him with a stunned expression, turned around and walked back to the private room.

"Oh my God!" After Cai Fu left, the stout rebel leader opened the jewelry box curiously, and his eyes lit up, he had never seen so much gold and silver jewelry.!^!
