After eating, it was getting late, and Yi Chu returned home with Zong Zhengjin, who was not yet happy.

Zhao Qing was very happy to see her princess holding a fox puppet, so she asked curiously: "Princess, where did you get the little fox?" It's so ugly. Zhao Qing grew up in the palace, and all the things she came into contact with were exquisite things, and it was the first time she had seen such an ugly doll.

Seeing her disgusted face, Zong Zhengjin pursed his lips and snickered, and said evilly: "I won't tell you." She looked at the little fox in her hand, it was indeed ugly, but it was still quite cute when she looked closely.

Zong Zhengjin was reluctant to say, and Zhao Qing didn't ask anymore, but looking at the princess's expression, she probably guessed who it was. An ugly fox can make the princess happy, why didn't she know that the princess was so easy to coax before? Zhao Qing's heart was a little sad.

After washing, Zong Zhengjin went to bed and prepared for bed. Seeing that Zhao Qing closed the door and walked away, she took out the little fox from the quilt, and pointed left and right with her little hand at it, playing happily. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she reached under the cotton pillow and found a brocade box. Open it to see, there is a delicate peony golden hairpin inside, and the hairpin body is engraved with the word "brocade hairpin".

She sat up, caressed the hairpin with her little hand, and muttered: "Mother, today I saw a stall selling puppets on the street, and there are also rag tigers there, but what she does is not as good as what you do." Look, this is the little fox that Mr. Yi gave me, isn't it particularly ugly? Zong Zhengjin laughed as he spoke, but there were tears in his eyes.

"Mother, Mr. is a very good person, he has taught me a lot of things, with him by my side, you can rest assured." Zong Zhengjin held the little fox in one hand and the brocade box in the other, staring blankly at the brocade tent in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, it wasn't until the moonlight hit her bed that Zong Zhengjin slowly lay down with the little fox in his arms, and fell asleep not long after.

In the next few days, Zong Zhengjin has been focusing on the construction of Yangcheng Pharmaceutical Market, for the economic development of Yangzhou, she has exhausted all her belongings, so in the construction, she does not allow any mistakes. On the other hand, under the leadership of Yi Chen, the six counties have begun a large-scale crackdown on bandits.

On this day, the six county guards gathered in the princess's mansion to discuss the plan to eliminate the mountain bandits.

"Princess, the so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, if we want to make those mountain bandits surrender, we had better clear the largest mountain bandit den first." Fang Junen spoke earnestly to Dongfang Hua's suggestion.

"Yes." Zong Zhengjin nodded, "Then in your opinion, which cottage should we attack first?"

At this time, Du Heng, the county guard of Liancheng, stood up and said: "If you want to say that the biggest cottage should be Tang Laoqi, I heard that his martial arts are very high, and the power of the cottage is not small." The Tang Lao Qi in his mouth is Tang Qiming. The people of Yangzhou know Tang Laoqi, but they don't know that he is the famous Tang Qiming hero on the rivers and lakes.

Zong Zhengjin and Yi Chu glanced at each other, Yi Chu turned to look at them and said, "Don't encircle and suppress Tang Laoqi, I will persuade him to surrender."

"Huh? I heard that he is very fierce, can he listen to your persuasion and surrender voluntarily?" Fang Junen and several people were very suspicious, it was not that they didn't believe Yi Chu, but how could such a mountain bandit surrender after listening to a few words of persuasion?

"Don't worry, Mr. Yi can do it." Zong Zhengjin replied very firmly, they didn't need to persuade at all, as long as they gave him a letter, he would cooperate with them.

Seeing that Zong Zhengjin was so confident, several county guards couldn't say anything more. Fang Junen thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Since Tang Laoqi can persuade him to surrender, then let's choose another big tiger."

"Who is it?" Zong Zhengjin asked.

"Liu Lin'an," Fang Junen slowly spit out a name, "He is the biggest mountain bandit leader besides Tang Laoqi, although Lin'anzhai is not as powerful as Tang Laoqi, but they have done the most bad things, so it is best to get rid of them first." ”

After listening to Fang Junen's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Yi Chu asked, "What countermeasures does Lord Fang have?"

"I haven't thought of a countermeasure yet, but I've found out something." Fang Junen replied.

"What?" Zong Zhengjin asked,

"The princess asked me to investigate Xu Shouzong's crimes before, and when I was looking for evidence, I found out that Xu Shouzong and Liu Lin'an were secretly in contact."

"What?" Zong Zhengjin stood up suddenly, his face full of anger, this Xu Shouzong was really bold, and he dared to collude with officials and bandits.

"Yes, the reason why Liu Linan dares to be so domineering and do all kinds of evil is because Xu Shouzong supports him. And on the twenty-fifth day of each month, the Xu Mansion will send people to the cottage to get the stolen money. Fang Junen was also furious when he said this, Xu Shouzong himself was lawless, and even helped the mountain bandits to harm the people, how could this kind of person make him an official.

"Xu Shouzong really deserves to be killed!" Zong Zhengjin gritted his teeth and said, is there vicious blood flowing in the blood of this Xu family.

"Ah Jin, sit down." Yi Chu tugged at her sleeve and motioned for her to calm down. Zong Zhengjin listened to his words, and realized that he was impulsive just now, and immediately sat back in his chair.

Seeing that her face was much calmer, Yi Chu said: "Since Xu Shouzong and Liu Lin'an have colluded, then we will use this line to encircle and suppress Lin'an Village."

"What does Mr. Yi mean?" A few people haven't figured it out yet.

"The day after tomorrow is twenty-five, if according to Lord Fang's complaint, that day Xu Mansion will send people to the cottage, and then we will hijack the people of Xu Mansion, and then let our own people pretend to be people from Xu Mansion to enter the cottage, and finally the inside and outside should be together, and take Lin'an Village in one fell swoop." Yi Chu said that he was not in a hurry, and the listeners nodded again and again, thinking that this method was very good.

"Who did the gentleman think about sending into the cottage?" Zong Zhengjin asked, this pretending to be from Xufu to enter the cottage requires not only courage and strategy, but also the courage to be fearless in the face of danger, and the candidate can't be sloppy. Except for Yi Chu, she really can't think of a second person.

When Yi Chu heard this, he raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "I already have a candidate." Tang Yi, you come in. As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome big boy walked in outside the door, he was wearing an ordinary guard uniform, his steps were steady, and his face was calm.

"Tang Yi see the princess." He walked up to Zong Zhengjin and bowed steadily.

"Flat." Zong Zhengjin nodded, although he didn't understand why Yi Chu chose Tang Yi, but since he felt that he could, then believe him.

"This ...... Mr. Yi, who is he? Can this kid make it happen?" Fang Junen and the others were full of distrust. He was still a child, how could he leave such an important matter to him?

Yi Chu smiled slightly and said, "His name is Tang Yi, he is the princess's right-hand man, and he is also Tang Qiming's son."

"Tang Qiming's son?" Wu Fan was taken aback, Tang Qiming knew that he was a famous hero in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect this kid to be his son.

"My father is Tang Qiming." Tang Yi replied calmly, he didn't feel complacent because he was Tang Qiming's son, on the contrary, he had a lot of pressure, he had to do better and better than his father to be worthy of the title of Tang Qiming's son.

Tang Yi's words made several county guards no longer question his ability, and at the same time, they admired Zong Zhengjin even more, even Tang Qiming's son could receive it, her ability was really not small.

Seeing that they no longer questioned it, Yi Chu looked at Tang Yi and explained: "Tang Yi, the day after tomorrow, you will pretend to be the little servant of the Xu family, enter the cottage, try your best to destroy their combat effectiveness, and then cooperate with us inside and out." Do you understand?"

"Tang Yi understands." He nodded, his face a little heavy. It is easy for him to enter the cottage at such a young age, and he has to find a way to destroy their combat effectiveness, this task is not easy, but this is Mr. Yi's test for him, and he must complete it well.

Yi Chu seemed to see his thoughts, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He really wanted to use this opportunity to test Tang Yi well, and by the way, let these county guards see his ability, so as to lay a good foundation for him to enter the Yangzhou garrison in the future.

After everything was arranged, everyone left with peace of mind. Just wait for the day after tomorrow to arrive, and you will be able to end Lin'an Village in one fell swoop.

In the blink of an eye, July 25 arrived, a light rain fell in the early morning, the road in the suburbs was wet, muddy and difficult to walk, and I saw a group of people coming from afar, just when they were about to approach the small bamboo forest, a group of black-clothed people appeared out of nowhere, without saying a word, as soon as they came up, they would fight. Before the team could fight back, they were taken down.

The middle-aged man led by him saw that his people were all taken down by this group of black-clothed people, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Heroes, heroes, we are just ordinary traders, you can spare us."

The black-clothed leader glanced at him coldly, put his sword on his neck with a "swish", and asked sharply, "Say, what is the code for you to enter Lin'an Village?"

As soon as he heard this, the middle-aged man who was still trembling and begging for mercy was immediately stunned, and as the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, he instantly thought that this group of people was not for money, I was afraid that there was some conspiracy.

He immediately pretended to be stupid and asked, "What Lin'an Village?" Hero, I really don't know what the code is. ”

The black-clothed leader was not annoyed, he turned his head and glanced at the person behind him, and the black-clothed man immediately understood, raised his sword and killed a small follower of the other party.

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he immediately spread it on the ground. The black-clothed leader sneered: "Let me ask you again, what is the code for entering Lin'an Village?"

The tone was full of threats, and the middle-aged man finally stopped pretending to be stupid, and hurriedly pleaded: "I said, I said it all......"

............

Lin'an Village is located in the suburbs of Zhujia County, is a pleasant place, but since Liu Lin'an built a village here, no one dares to come here to play.

Tang Yi sat leisurely on a white horse in a blue brocade robe, followed by a team of guards disguised as family members. The group slowly walked to the gate of Lin'an Village.

As soon as the people standing guard saw them, they immediately stepped forward with knives and asked, "Stop, who are you?" What are you doing here?"

Tang Yi's face was extremely calm and replied: "There are more than two people."

"Lin'an Wuxian," a pair of codes, the man immediately put down his guard, and said with a smile: "Steward Xu used to come, why did you come with a handsome brother today?"

Facing his doubts, Tang Yi chuckled and said: "I'm Steward Xu's nephew, he is sick today, so let me come, look, he doesn't worry about me, didn't he send more people." Looking in his direction, there are indeed a lot of family members today.

The man was completely relieved at this time, and shouted a few times at the door, and the door opened in a few moments. He beckoned to Tang Yi, Tang Yi immediately understood, turned over and dismounted, and then led the horse into the cottage with a group of people.
