Chapter 448: Water Bandits

He stood on the deck, looking around blankly for a moment, before he saw the passing man.

He hurried over, stopped the man, and asked him where the men on the ship were resting.

The human didn't know his identity, but he knew that he was different, and pointed to the cabin below.

"The grown-ups are there."

Shouren followed, and when he saw that they were all forbidden soldiers, he immediately frowned.

He couldn't forget the way these men raised their butcher's knives to face the unarmed people.

The forbidden soldiers saw him acting and were also very unimpressed, everyone had seen him debate with Han Anyun on stage, and they originally had a good impression of this polite little Langjun, but with his previous prevention and righteousness, everyone's perception of him plummeted.

At this time, seeing him so undisguised dislike is even more disgusted.

"This is not the little Langjun of the right minister, how can you condescend to our realm, you can settle down slowly, and when the heart is on the sole of your shoes."

In the crowd, someone said in a weird way.

Shouren followed the prestige in the past, and they were all black and oppressive, and they couldn't see who it was.

There was a pang of anger in his heart.

Since he met these people, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed several times, even if he has a good temper, he can't stand this.

But where he cultivated, he couldn't speak ill of him, so he could only walk away angrily.

There was a burst of laughter behind him, which made Shouren even more angry.

He strode onto the deck in a rage, and made up his mind that he would rather blow the wind and get sick than be in the company of those vulgar people.

A forbidden army commander passed by, saw him with his hands behind his back, and admired the water in the wind, thought about it, and followed.

"It's windy here, and if you're not careful, you'll catch a cold."

"Xiao Langjun, you have to be more careful."

Shouren turned his head and saw that the person was looking at him with concern, and he was immediately moved.

"Thank you," he arched his hand, his body shuddering uncontrollably.

The captain's brows moved, and when he saw him forcibly stop his trembling body, he suddenly realized.

"I still have an empty cabin over there, can Lang Jun go there to rest for a while?"

Shouren pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly.

On the other side, someone informed Yuan Bao'er of the news that Shouren had gone to the cabin with him.

Yuan Bao'er hummed, and her face was not very good-looking, "Keep an eye on him." ”

Earlier, Yuan Baoer thought that this person was a good talent, but it was a pity that he was dragged down because of his family background.

Now it seems that this person is too much to take for granted, and only takes what he thinks and wants to see as a basis, which is completely fancy and useless.

Knowing how this person was, Yuan Bao'er didn't want to follow people at all, but the other forbidden army captains had scruples.

Although the forbidden army is not under the control of the right minister, he is also one of the important ministers of the imperial court, and he can almost compete with the left minister, and is on par with Gu Sheng.

Yuan Bao'er knew their scruples, so she could only take a step back.

Fortunately, this person is not stupid, and he knows that if he doesn't come to Yuan Bao'er if he has nothing to do, he can make her reluctantly accept.

The ships in the fleet had a deep draft and traveled slowly.

Yuan Bao'er was worried about being ambushed, so she sent reconnaissance boats to patrol the surroundings from time to time.

Simply the security here is good, and with the deterrence of their official flags, it has been quite stable.

However, good luck cannot always be there, and on the canal that is about to cross the north and turn to the south, the inspection ships find something unusual.

They quickly turned the bow of the ship and tried to go back to report the news, but the bottom of the ship was scuttled, and even if they jumped out of the boat, they were knocked unconscious by the bandits.

Five miles away, Yuan Bao'er's fleet was still moving unconsciously.

In the lotus swing, the water bandits lurked silently under the cover of wide lotus leaves.

On the deck, Shouren was brewing poetry with passion.

The comfort of these days made him lose his previous anger, and the pleasantness of the journey and the beauty of the scenery made him poetic.

Just as he was impassionedly reciting a sentence, he heard someone shout that there was an enemy.

Before he could react, he saw that all the forbidden troops were in action.

Everyone stood in their positions in an orderly manner, shooting arrows, patrolling the bilge to prevent being chiseled, and the bow and stern of the ship to scout so as not to be climbed.

These people's movements are too fast, Shouren is a layman, he just feels at a loss, and his eyes are not enough.

The Forbidden Army Commander who passed by frowned and glared at him, and was about to speak, when he suddenly pounced on him.

Shouren passively fell to the side, and was horrified to see a sharp arrow fly over his face.

The captain waited for a moment before turning over and distancing, "Are you alright?" ”

Shouren's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak for a while.

On the deck on the second floor, Yuan Bao'er was already standing there.

She looked coldly at the surface of the water and ordered in a deep voice.

With her command, the movements of the forbidden soldiers also became rapid, and on the mast above their heads, the messengers were also quickly passing the flag, so that several ships around them also took action.

In just five breaths, the situation has developed in favor of several parties.

Shouren saw the water bandits floating on the water, and also saw how the forbidden army cooperated to help their comrades, assist manpower, and carry out the whole process of encirclement and suppression.

Shouren never imagined that he would be able to see with his own eyes how an outstanding general would lead the team.

The battle started abruptly and ended abruptly.

In Shouren's feeling, it seemed that after only a few short moments, the battle came to an end.

After killing the last few bandits who didn't have time to escape,. Yuan Bao'er ordered all the corpses of these people to be moved to the shore, and set up firewood around the corpses, doused them with oil, and asked the forbidden army to go around to find the people, and let them go to the declaration with silver money, and exchange their people for these corpses, and within three days, if there is no reply, these corpses will become char.

When Shouren heard this, he immediately frowned.

"My lord, this is really subversive."

Yuan Bao'er sneered, "I only know that they detained my people, they are alive, they can say anything, if they die, let alone the corpses, it is their ancestors for eighteen generations, I will dig them out and draw them into bone slag." ”

These words were so fierce that Shouren was frightened.

Yuan Bao'er snorted coldly and ordered: "Scatter the money, I want to make sure that the water bandits can hear it." ”

More than a dozen forbidden troops immediately went into action.

Yuan Bao'er called all the forbidden army captains back to the cabin.

Half an hour later, several people came out with calm faces.

Shouren felt cold treatment again, but he didn't have the same emotions as before, because he felt that everyone here was the same as Yuan Bao'er, and they hated the water bandits.

He absolutely believed that if it really came to the worst, Yuan Bao'er said that they would definitely do it.

Shouren stood by the side of the ship, and when he saw the scratches on the outside of the ship, he was speechless for a long time.

For two days, the forbidden army was always busy, and the corpses on the shore were also patrolled from time to time, and the manpower, after obtaining Yuan Bao'er's consent, also went to the surrounding villages and towns, wanting to buy some things to take home.

Soon, the third day arrived.

The genius was bright, and Shouren got up.

He stood on the side of the ship, looking at the corpses not far away.

The corpses of nearly 200 people were left there for three days, and even if the weather was not hot at this time, it was not a good sight.

The forbidden soldiers patrolled as usual, but the scope of their patrols was larger.

There's no other reason than that the smell of that stuff is too bad.

Little by little, the sun rises and sets.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, the expected person still did not come.

The commander of the Forbidden Army pinched the dots and went over with torches and refueled oil.

The captain stared at the sun, commanded the people to pour oil, and waited for the sun to set completely, and then lit the fire.

The oil that can be used by the official household must be excellent, not to mention that they have been rewatered, such an amount of oil, when it is really a fire, it will become a disaster immediately, even if it can't be saved, until it is burned, it can leave a little bit of ash and slag, which is good.

This is the real dust to dust.

This is a little uncomfortable for the forbidden soldiers who are accustomed to seeing life and death, but it is not unacceptable.

The horse leather shroud was originally the fate of these marchers.

But for bandits who were born as civilians or slaves and had no special training, this was absolutely intolerable.

Even if they are careless of people's lives, it is someone else's life, and they cherish themselves very much.

At this time, it is not only their companions who lie here, but also some of their relatives and friends, but also lovers.

They couldn't just watch it burn to ashes.

But it is also impossible to hand over people, it is their life talisman, and if they hand it over, it is equivalent to putting their heads under the guillotine.

So after thinking about it, they decided to come and rob once.

Little by little, the sunlight faded until the last glow was gone.

The Forbidden Commander shook the torch in his hand and threw it into the fire.

The torches tumbled over and fell into the pyre.

Just as he was about to fall, an arrow knocked him away.

"Prepare, enemy attack," the captain reacted quickly and immediately organized his manpower.

However, the previous indulgence allowed the bandits to successfully blend into the manpower.

At this time, they broke out, and dozens of forbidden troops were not opponents at all.

The rest of the forbidden soldiers were either on the boat or patrolling farther away, and there was no time to rescue.

The bandits managed to trap the man and quickly pulled the corpse.

In the distance, more than a dozen donkey carts rushed by, and the bandits hurriedly moved the corpses.

They were very united, and it didn't take them a quarter of an hour to load the car.

Just as they were about to leave, there was a fire around them, and the bandits were startled and hurriedly looked around.

Only then did they realize that they had been surrounded at some point.

Yuan Bao'er came out of the forbidden army and looked at these people coldly.

"The dead can't be replaced, the living should be okay."

"Catch them all."

Her voice was soft, and she didn't sound the slightest bit of authority, but the forbidden soldiers obeyed her words.

The bandits had just put their knives aside for the convenience of handling, and it was too late to pick them up.

Because at some point, the knives were removed.

After successfully tying everyone up, Yuan Baoer went back to the cabin.

Seeing this scene, Shouren didn't know what to say.

In fact, the people on the ship wouldn't say anything to him.

If what he did before disgusted the forbidden army, then when he helped the water bandits speak, it already disgusted the forbidden army.

This kind of emotion, even the captain who has the intention to please him, exists.

It's just because of Yuan Bao'er's order that he had to deliver food to Shouren on time and on time every day.

The isolation of everyone made Shouren very uncomfortable, and in order to prevent this mood from expanding, he waited for his leisure and did not come out again, and he did not know that in the middle of the night, a group of forbidden troops quietly left.

When he got up in the morning, he found that the forbidden soldiers had returned in a uniform manner, mixed with a few embarrassed forbidden soldiers and flat-headed people.

He understood it just by thinking about it.

Yesterday's round-up is actually an illusion.

Thinking that when they surrounded and suppressed, they were already prepared, just waiting for the informant of the water bandits to go back to report the news, and they followed the vine to find the melon.

Shouren's idea is very consistent with Yuan Baoer's approach.

Yuan Bao'er did let go of a few people who had let go during the round-up the day before, and the most outstanding scouts in the forbidden army followed closely behind and touched the lair of the water bandits.

That night, the forbidden army all went out and took the old nest of the water bandits, not only rescued people, but also pulled the leaders of the water bandits in their sleep, and then burned them clean with a fire.

The fleet was repaired and began to go offshore.

Yuan Baoer and several captains interrogated.

The two leaders of the bandits are very tough, but the other minions are boneless, and they can be recruited with a few whips.

However, what they know is not exact, they only know that they actually gave the wind this time, so they took action.

And the man gave a lot of benefits, and promised that as long as the thing was done, there would be money later.

But who that man really is, only the head of the bandit knows.

However, the leader's teeth were so hard that he refused to reveal the slightest detail, even if his skin was open.

Yuan Baoer wanted to know who was deliberately targeting, but this person didn't cooperate, and her patience was gone.

She directly handed over a few cloth guards disguised as human beings brought over, "Interrogate people." ”

The cloth guards have all been tempered a lot, but the way they temper them is completely different from that of the forbidden army.

Those people glanced at each other and said in a low voice: "This is not difficult, but after passing through our hands, this person may not be able to do it." ”

"It's okay, whatever you want," Yuan Bao'er said, "I just need that person, and I have to make sure that he is right." ”

The cloth guard arched his hand and strode away.

Half a day later, Bu Yiwei brought back the news.

Knowing who it was, Yuan Baoer was still a little confused.

She'd never heard of Tangerine.

"Whose person is this?"

Bu Yiwei said in a low voice: "This person's subordinate has a little impression that he is an outer housekeeper of the Zou family. ”

"Who?"

Yuan Baoer didn't know any of the Zou family at all.

Bu Yiwei said again: "Some time ago, the eldest son of the right minister's family accepted a concubine's room, and the daughter-in-law of the outer housekeeper of the Zou family and the uncle of the concubine's room are the same. However, her uncle's family is a side branch. ”

It's quite a relationship.

But the more you go around like this, the more problematic it becomes.

"You guys take the messenger bird, let it out, and let the rat help me check, has there been any movement on the right side recently?"

The cloth guards took the order and left.

Yuan Baoer pinched her knuckles and pondered.

The eldest son of the right prime minister was doing something, and the younger son went here to blindly command, and he almost lost his life.

This family is afraid that she can't really die, how can she drop?
