In the third room, Chun Yuyan bit the tip of his pen and pondered how to write a letter to Su Muzhe.

I was stumped at the beginning, what do you call it?

Husband?

Oops, Chun Yuyan shook off goosebumps.

On weekdays, you have to pretend to be affectionate in the Hou Mansion, she only calls it that occasionally, and now she writes to him like this, isn't it a bit too embarrassing.

So, General Su?

It seems a little rusty.

Chun Yuyan thought about it again and again, but still couldn't put pen to paper.

In the end, she wrote three words at the beginning: Su Muzhe.

Okay, it's finally the beginning, it's easy to write below, Chun Yuyan told her all the things of the past few days, and at the end, wrote: I have a new master, and my cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and I promised you that the braised lion head will definitely be honored, you can rest assured.

Finally, quietly, I wrote a line in small print: I wish you to find the person you like as soon as possible!

Then, Chun Yuyan sealed the book credit wax and handed it to Akiba.

Qiu Ye was silent on the thick letter, and thought silently, the young lady obviously had these words to say to her master, and it was strange that she was still waiting for her to urge.

However, Akiba did not delay for a moment and sent the letter away.

After all, the master is looking forward to it, isn't it?

Akiba felt very caring, and returned to the house with confidence.

And Su Muzhe, who was worried about the master and servant, encountered a big problem.

Qingtong Mountain is steep, surrounded by forest of dangerous peaks, only one road in front can go up, it can be said that a husband is a pass.

The key is that the people in the vicinity, on the surface, happily welcomed the arrival of the army of the imperial court to suppress the bandits, and when they came, they distributed relief food to them during the day, and at night they changed their faces and turned around and sent them to the bandits in the mountains.

Su Muzhe's plan to force the bandits to surrender by cutting off food and grass also failed.

Seeing this situation, the major general of the Gyeonggi battalion proposed to arrest the leading civilians in the vicinity as an example.

However, he was rejected by Su Muzhe.

They are all ordinary people who are powerless, but because of the bewitchment of the bandits, and the local county order did not do a good job in disaster relief, all the relief grain was embezzled, and then sold at a high price to make black money, and the people were disappointed in the court.

Su Muzhe sat alone in the room, thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, he ran in with Xia Ao, holding the letter in his hand, and said excitedly: "General, the young lady has sent you a letter." ”

"Bring it quickly." Su Muzhe stood up suddenly.

Thinking of something, he coughed slightly, pretended to sit down calmly, and said, "Bring it to me." ”

Sui Xia gave him a funny look and handed over the letter.

Su Muzhe couldn't wait to open it, and Juanxiu's handwriting appeared in front of his eyes.

Su Muzhe in the book: See the letter and ......

Su Muzhe bent the corners of his lips, as if he heard Chun Yuyan's voice ringing in his ears like a valley.

As he read the letter, Su Muzhe frowned for a while, patted the table in annoyance for a while, and smiled at the corner of his mouth for a while.

Sui Xia stood beside him with his hands down, peeking at Su Muzhe, laughing in his heart, but he also put his mind at ease and turned around and walked out of the house.

They are now in the government of the county magistrate, and the local magistrate has been strangled by the bandits of Qingtong Mountain.

Ever since he discovered that the local people were secretly helping the bandits on the mountain, Su Muzhe had been frowning and couldn't eat.

Chun Yuyan's letter came at the right time, and I wanted to come to Su Muzhe to eat something.

Sui Xia thought as she went to the kitchen.

Chen He and Li Yan came back at this time.

Su Muzhe happened to have just finished reading the letter.

Chun Yuyan said in the letter, sometimes kindness is a good thing, but excessive kindness may condone those with bad intentions, so in the end, Liu Qingqing got this kind of ending, and she didn't feel guilty.

Su Muzhe sat silently in his chair, thinking of his current situation.

Chen He and Li Yan came in and saluted Su Muzhe: "General, the subordinates have made it clear that the local county order does have the behavior of selling relief grain privately, and,"

Chen He paused: "I'm afraid it's not just the county order, it should be the collusion between the state and county, the people have been starved to death a lot, and those who resist have either been killed or locked up, so the current people don't believe in the court at all." ”

"How is Tobe Shangshu?" Su Muzhe asked with a deep groan.

"He was left in the government by the former governor of Nanzhou Mansion, and he was busy accounting and distributing food every day, relieving the people in the city, general, you didn't see it, it's not an exaggeration to starve all over the wilderness, it's really miserable."

Chen He said, his voice lowered.

He and Li Yan saw this tragic image along the way, and their hearts had begun to resist the officials of Yuannan, and the two of them were almost robbed on the way, and later, the two of them changed the clothes of the refugees and mixed up.

Su Muzhe's mood was also a little heavy.

On the way here, Tobe Shangshu had already divided the work with him, he was responsible for exterminating the bandits, and Tobe Shangshu was responsible for disaster relief.

However, it seems that the book of the household department has been entangled in the Zhizhou of the former south.

"Chen He, you take a small team, quietly change clothes, and then go to investigate the origin of this matter, Li Yan, you are mixed with the people at the foot of Qingtong Mountain, trying to understand the truth of the matter, and act immediately, if it is really the problem of local officials, then only by bringing them to justice can we open a breakthrough from the masses."

"Yes." Chen He and Li Yan took the order.

Sui Xia brought a bowl of steaming mutton soup.

"General, let's eat, no matter how difficult it is, you can't burn your body."

Su Muzhe waved his hand to signal him to put it aside, and began to study the topographic map of Qingtong Mountain with his head down.

If things are really as Chen He and Li Yan said, then some of the people who were forced to go to Qingtong Mountain were ordinary people who couldn't get by, and he couldn't use a more crude and simple method to exterminate them all as bandits.

The little general, who used to be a leader in the border city, felt for the first time that he was helpless against the enemy.

Sui Xia sighed and moved the mutton soup to Su Muzhe's hand again.

"General, how about you eat something, the young lady can explain, the big thing, the belly is the biggest, and the young lady knows that you don't eat well, it's time to train the little one."

Su Muzhe listened to Sui Xia's words, threw down the pen in his hand, took the mutton soup and swallowed it.

This kid has been consumed with him, and even the young lady has moved out, can he not eat it?

Sui Xia looked at Su Muzhe with relief and found a way to govern his own general.

As long as the young lady is mentioned, everything will work.

In the original southern city, the head of the household has just returned from the porridge tent for disaster relief.

The crowd full of withered yellow cheeks made him feel uneasy.

He knew how much grain and grass he had sent, but it was far from enough to go on like this, and if the refugees made a fuss at that time, I was afraid that their small mansion would not be able to stop it.

Hubu Shangshu thought about it and sent a letter to Su Muzhe, urging him to quickly exterminate the bandits in Qingtong Mountain, so that he could go back to raise food, just rely on those wine bags and rice bags under his hands, it is estimated that he will die here.

At the same time, the situation here was played to Emperor Jian'an, hoping that Emperor Jian'an could continue to send grain.
