Chapter 349: Find a way
The last time Fu Zhiheng was injured by the bandits, Chu Junlan couldn't have imagined that these bandits were so rampant, they had already looted a sum of money but didn't want to stop for a while, and they dared to strike again in broad daylight in such a short period of time!
"It just doesn't make sense!" The Nine Emperor Princes were furious, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, under the nose of the Father, there would be such a rampant petty person who dared to do evil!" Don't worry, I'll go with you and slaughter these beasts! ”
The Nine Emperor Princes got up angrily and was about to move, but was pulled by King Qin's arm, he suffocated his movements, looked back at King Qin suspiciously, and saw that the prince shook his head without a trace.
The Nine Emperors have always believed in King Qin, and since the third brother stopped him, there must be a reason. But he had already said everything, and he didn't want to lose his trust in front of Chu Junlan, so he was in a dilemma for a while.
Chu Junlan was so keen, seeing the eye contact between the two, he knew that King Qin didn't want the Nine Emperor Princes to be involved.
Originally, as the Nine Emperor Princes, it was inappropriate to participate in these things at will, and it was difficult to guarantee whether his actions would bring any hidden dangers to the people of their faction.
It was Chu Junlan who said very considerately: "I understand the kindness of His Royal Highness the Nine, but I have my own plans for this matter." His Royal Highness the King of Qin and His Royal Highness the Nine, please feel free, I will go to Zhuangzi to have a look. ”
King Qin was very impressed by Chu Junlan's understanding, and smiled gently: "Okay, you can go." ”
Chu Junlan saluted, asked Zi Yan to bring her medical box, and rushed to Fengya Villa with Tianbao.
The villa, which was originally full of laughter and joy, was filled with sad cries this time.
As soon as Chu Junlan entered Zhuangzi, everyone saw her, and the first few people greeted her, shed tears, and knelt in front of Chu Junlan.
"Miss Chu, we were useless, and we asked the bandits to rob the wine ticket. We have inherited the great kindness of the girl, and we want to do an errand for the girl's life and repay your life, but we didn't think that it would become like this. ”
As soon as a few people said this, many people shed tears again.
Chu Junlan hurriedly persuaded: "It's no wonder you, the reason is all because of the bandits." Those who have sacrificed their lives have been buried, and those who have family members will definitely give them a bereavement pension, and there are any injured people among the goods that I went to transport this time? They all came to me to see the injuries. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chu Junlan came, instead of blaming them for losing important wine tickets, he even took the initiative to look at their injuries.
This group of simple and poor people was suddenly moved.
Fu Zhiheng stood in the crowd wearing a dark blue cloak, and watched Chu Junlan bandage the injured, his eyes became extremely soft.
Tianbao snorted and said sullenly: "Childe is right, Miss Chu really didn't care about the people in the villa. ”
Fu Zhiheng said: "She is not that kind of person. ”
Chu Junlan noticed that there was a gaze falling on him, and immediately raised his eyes keenly, and when he saw that it was Fu Zhiheng, he bowed his head and saluted.
Fu Zhiheng immediately gave her a smile back, and he didn't even realize how soft his smile was.
Chu Junlan comforted the wounded, and then talked with Fu Zhiheng and a few people with heads and faces in the front hall.
Without waiting for Chu Junlan to ask, Fu Zhiheng said: "I have already investigated, and the one who robbed us twice was the bandit on Erwang Mountain. ”
As soon as they heard the name Erwang Mountain, the faces of several people were not good-looking.
Chu Junlan's original body was a lady who didn't go out of the door, and she didn't know much about these things, and she didn't specifically inquire around after she came, so she didn't know about it.
Fu Zhiheng saw that she was puzzled, so he said considerately: "Erwang Mountain is eighty miles away from the capital, the terrain on the mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, bandits have existed for many years, and the officers and soldiers have also suppressed bandits for many years, but every time they can't be completely cleared, they always let Erwang Mountain resurge.
"It is said that there are five village owners on Erwang Mountain, all of whom are from the rivers and lakes, with strong martial arts, and the mountain has been quite large-scale, and it is precisely because of this that the actions of the imperial court to suppress bandits can not be completely eradicated."
Chu Junlan bowed slightly.
The name Erwang Mountain, Chu Junlan always felt a little familiar. When she thought about it, it immediately dawned on her.
At the beginning, Aunt Sun wanted to burn her to death, and the eldest brother was blind, so Chu Cailiang drove Aunt Sun out of the house.
Aunt Sun left the Chu family with her brother and sister-in-law, and Yuan Kanghu followed to avenge her, but found that their group had been robbed by bandits, who were the bandits of Erwang Mountain.
According to Yuan Kanghu, the Erwang Mountain is not like an ordinary cottage that only relies on looting property to make a living, and they rob people to help them do all kinds of work. This bandit den is operating well, and in addition to robbery, there are other ways to develop the economy.
"Such a banditry, as long as it exists for one day, it will be a hidden danger for one day," Chu Junlan said, "If you want to ensure the safety of transporting goods in the future, and also avoid the danger of ordinary people being looted, it is imperative to suppress banditry." ”
"You're right," Fu Zhiheng said in a deep voice, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you tolerate the existence of such a tumor?" It's just that if you want to suppress bandits, it's really difficult. You can't do it by relying only on your strength, and you still need to rely on the power of the government. ”
Chu Junlan nodded, lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "I think that such an errand to suppress bandits, falling into the army may also be a beautiful difference, which can not only train the army, but also get a merit, killing two birds with one stone." ”
Fu Zhiheng hooked the corner of his lips, Chu Junlan refused to say everything, he wanted to say it, "Is it just killing two birds with one stone?" In the process of suppressing bandits, you can also make a lot of money. ”
Chu Junlan shook his head with a smile, didn't answer Fu Zhiheng's words, and only said, "I have to use some connections in this matter." ”
"Oh?" Fu Zhihengxin smiled a little surprised, and then said, "I almost forgot, you are also the daughter of a noble family, it seems that you have a plan in your heart?" ”
Chu Junlan bowed, "I know that if Fu Gongzi comes out, this matter will definitely be resolved." But the same method, it's always bad to use it continuously, so it's better to let me try it this time, and if I can't do it, you can shoot again. ”
Fu Zhiheng also knew that always writing essays was easy to annoy the emperor and the Manchu ministers, and Chu Junlan made such a decision for his sake.
"Okay, then you can try it," Fu Zhiheng smiled softly: "If it can't be done, you don't have to be anxious, come back and let's figure it out together." ”
Chu Junlan nodded, left Fengya Villa, took the car home, and handed over the post to the Guogong Mansion first.
This time, what she wanted to see was not Lu Ruohan, nor Lu Wansong, let alone the Duchess of Dingguo, but the Duke of Dingguo.
Chu Junlan was a little apprehensive, and he didn't know if Dingguo Gong would see him.
But fortunately, she was quickly approved, and the next day she went to the Dingguo Mansion to meet her.
Unexpectedly, when Dingguo Gong met her in the study of the outer courtyard, Lu Wansong was also there.
"Thank you Dingguo Gong for taking the time to meet and see the prince." Chu Junlan saluted.
