When it comes to the Gusu Murong family, it can be said that everyone knows about the land south of the Yangtze River, especially after Murong Longcheng and Xiaoyaozi made a big fuss in Beijing, although the news was blocked by the official and did not spread to the people.

But for some people with noble status and well-informed, everyone still knows the news of Murong Longcheng's birth.

Naturally, Gusu Murong has also entered the sight of many people.

Normally speaking, Murong Longcheng made a big fuss in Jingshi, which can be said to be a thief, and the imperial court has nothing to do with Murong Longcheng for a while, but it does not mean that it can't deal with the Murong clan in Gusu.

It's just that there is such a great power as Murong Longcheng, to be honest, unless the imperial court is completely sure that Murong Longcheng can be suppressed, otherwise he really doesn't dare to take the Murong family's lineage.

Whether it is the power of the imperial court or the power of the royal family, if you really want to deal with Murong Longcheng, there is really no way.

It's a pity that Zhezong Zhao Xu died, followed by Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne, in this short period of time, whether it is Zhao Ji or the ministers of the court, the attention is on the struggle for power and profit, where is there the kung fu to deal with Murong Longcheng.

If it weren't for that, even if it was just for the sake of the royal face and the face of the imperial court, the imperial court would join forces with the royal family to suppress Murong Longcheng, otherwise, wouldn't it be said that anyone in the world could make a big fuss with their own cultivation?

As the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, Chen Zao has been sending people to pay attention to the Murong family's actions during this time, although it is said that the imperial court has not dealt with the Murong family's movements for the time being, but as the prefect of the first prefecture, Chen Zao is very clear, this is just because all the ministers above the court are busy adapting to the new emperor, once the situation in the imperial court is stabilized, then the imperial court will inevitably free up its hands to deal with Murong Longcheng, and the Murong family will inevitably be destroyed by the imperial court at that time.

And as the prefect of Suzhou, he will inevitably be able to enter the sight of the imperial court by virtue of the information collected in advance, and he may not be able to enter the Beijing division from the locality.

It's just that what Chen Zao didn't expect was that the imperial court was indeed going to deal with the Murong family, but what he didn't expect was that the imperial court would send Chu Yi and his party.

In Chen Zao's opinion, as long as the ministers in the court were not dizzy, they would definitely not hand over the matter of dealing with the Murong family to a group of martial artists and chamberlains, and they must be a prime minister who personally supervised this matter.

After all, Jingshi had a long way to go from Jiangnan, and the news would not be transmitted to Jiangnan so quickly, so Chen Zao didn't know the news that Murong Dragon City had been taken down at all.

If Chen Zao had known the news of Murong Dragon City being taken down for a long time, he would dare to send someone to test the Murong family.

At this time, Chen Zaozheng summoned his subordinates to catch the head and raise the jurisdiction, in the Great Song Dynasty, the military of the chief officer of the city, also shouldered the responsibility of catching thieves, and the head catcher was to inspect the place, responsible for local security, and also responsible for local arrest of thieves, according to modern saying, the jurisdiction belongs to the military system, and the arrest belongs to the police system.

At this time, a governor of Suzhou Mansion and a catcher were standing respectfully in front of Chen Zao, and the two of them could be said to be not daring to make a mistake in front of Chen Zao, even if the two of them relied on their strength alone, they could shoot Chen Zao to death with one hand, but Chen Zao was a literati and a scholar, and he was naturally high, and the two of them did not even dare to have a trace of disrespect in the face of Chen Zao.

Looking at the two subordinates, Chen Zao said, "These days have made you keep an eye on the Murong family, but have you gained anything?" ”

Zheng Tizhi's name is Zheng Wu, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Back to the prefect's words, we have been sending people to keep an eye on the Murong family these days, and the Murong family, as usual, has not made any major moves at all. By the way, Murong Fu of the Murong family and several other family generals have returned from going out, and they haven't left Yanziwu for a few days. ”

Mao Zhutou, who was inferior to Zheng Ti Shi in status, nodded on the side and said, "What Ti Ha said is that the people of the Murong family did stay in Swallow Dock and did not go out. ”

Brushing his beard, Chen Zao nodded and said, "Very good, this official has something for you to do." ”

With a whisper of command, Zheng Tizhi and Mao Zhutou left with a solemn face.

However, it was said that Chu Yi and his party were settled in a courtyard at this time, and with Chen Zao's perfunctory treatment of Chu Yi and his party, it was impossible to prepare any good accommodation for Chu Yi and his party, so this courtyard was very ordinary.

Although Yang Zhi and the others were very dissatisfied with Chen Zao's slow treatment, they also knew that in the face of these literati and doctors, these martial artists and chamberlains had no status at all, of course, the most important thing was that Chu Yi did not speak, even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they could only endure it, in case there was a conflict with Chen, they were not afraid, but if they caused trouble to Chu Yi, wouldn't it be their sin?

Yang Zhidao: "Admiral, if you want me to say, there is no need for us to go through Suzhou Mansion at all, directly lead people to kill the Murong family, and arrest all the people of the Murong family." ”

Chu Yi looked at Yang Zhi and said, "Are you sure that just our people can guarantee that the Murong family will not have any fish that slip through the net?" ”

Yang Zhi was stunned, there were only dozens of people in their group, and the Murong family had been rooted in Gusu for hundreds of years, it could be said that it was a huge family, plus the family attached to the Murong family, the entire Murong family was a huge force and power.

Don't look at the appearance, it seems that only Murong Fu and a few generals of the Murong family appear, but as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the Murong family is definitely not only Murong Fu, it is nothing more than Murong Fu is a descendant, as for the other branches of the Murong family, there are definitely not a few.

The four generals have their own manoras as their territory, and the family behind these four generals is not as simple as a dozen or twenty people.

It will be easy to kill Murong Fu and the four masters of the Murong clan, but the key is to completely uproot the power of the Murong clan, but it is not so simple.

By force alone, Xu Ning, Lin Chong and others may not be the opponents of the Murong family, but with Chu Yi in charge, they are not afraid that they will not be able to suppress the strong men of the Murong family, but it is impossible for Chu Yi to hunt down and kill thousands of Murong clansmen.

In such a case involving local clan forces, only with the cooperation of the local government can it be as foolproof as possible.

Hearing Chu Yi's explanation, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, Yang Zhi and others showed a sudden look on their faces.

"The Admiral is thoughtful, and his subordinates are too late!"

Chu Yi smiled slightly: "Now it depends on whether that prefect is smart enough." ”

Early the next morning, I saw Yang Zhi excitedly saying to Chu Yi in the study: "Lord Admiral, here, the people from Suzhou Mansion are here." ”

The corners of Chu Yi's mouth turned up slightly and nodded: "It seems that this prefect is quite smart and knows what to do and what not to do." ”

While speaking, Chu Yi said to Yang Zhi: "Bring people." ”

Soon, I saw Zheng Wu and the Mao Catcher walking over under the guidance of Yang Zhi.

The two of them saluted at Chu Yi and said, "Governor Zheng Wu and head catcher Mao Fang have seen Lord Admiral. ”

Chu Yi looked at the two of them and said, "Why did the two of you come?" ”

Zheng Wu clenched his fists and said: "We have been ordered by the prefect to obey the dispatch of the Admiral and assist the Lord in arresting the thief Murong and his comrades. ”

Chu Yi said with a straight expression: "I don't know how many people Zheng Tizhi and Mao Zhutou can mobilize to assist this governor?" ”

Glancing at each other, Zheng Wu said: "This official's subordinates can dispatch thousands of people to assist the adults. ”

Mao Fang groaned, as if he was estimating how many people he could transfer, and finally said to Chu Yi: "The lower officials can dispatch a hundred arresters to assist the Admiral." ”

1,000 soldiers and horses, 100 fast catches, this can be regarded as a not weak force in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is enough to raid the family and destroy the clan.

Of course, if you really face the Murong family, it is absolutely impossible to succeed by relying on these horses alone, but if you add Chu Yi and his party, it is a perfect combination.

Chu Yi slowly got up and looked at Zheng Wu and Mao Fang: "Zheng Wu and Mao Fang obey orders, this governor orders the two of you to immediately dispatch your men, I want to see everyone on the shore of Taihu Lake in half an hour." ”

Swallow Dock is located in the Taihu Lake, as the old nest of the Murong family, Swallow Dock does not dare to say that it was made into an iron bucket by the Murong family, but not everyone can penetrate it.

Especially if you want to enter Yanziwu by water, you must first pass through several outposts arranged by the Murong family, such as the perfume pavilion where Ah Zhu lives, and the small building of Qinyun where Ah Bi lives.

These residences are obviously the outposts built by the Murong family that are distributed around the Swallow Dock, anyone who wants to enter the Swallow Dock must first pass through these outposts, as long as they arrange people to defend in these places, then the Swallow Dock can get the news as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard by being killed.

As the real head snake of Suzhou Mansion, whether it is Zheng Wu or Mao Fang, the ability of the two is not bad, especially under the order of the prefect Chen Zao, the two of them are very quick to implement Chu Yi's order, and there is no delay at all.

Half an hour passed, and two teams of people appeared on the dock neatly, especially Zheng Wu, who had prepared dozens of large ships.

Needless to say, being able to mobilize dozens of large ships at a time is definitely not something that can be done by a single prefecture, and it must be an arrangement made by the prefect Chen Zao.

Chu Yi was very satisfied with Chen Zao's knowledge, and could only say that the will of the Son of Heaven was still quite useful, otherwise, it would be good if Chen Zao didn't make trouble for them, how could he arrange everything so properly.

On the big boat, Chu Yi stood on the bow of the boat, while Zheng Wu and Mao Fang stood aside, pointing to the vast Taihu Lake and facing Chu Yi and said: "Lord Admiral, look at it, Taihu Lake is vast, there are many islands in the lake, and the swallow dock occupied by the Murong family is built on an island, and it will take about half a day to take a boat." ”
