For Ruofeng, those bandits were also their enemies in a sense, and they would not have been assassinated if they hadn't been for the bandits who passed the message in the middle.

But hearing his words, Lu Qingyi shook his head: "It's not us." You don't have to go, you and Luo Han will stay in the capital. ”

"Ah, why?" Ruofeng was a little shocked when he heard this answer, and he turned his head to look at Luo Han who was beside him.

Luo Han was also a little puzzled when he heard this: "Yes, why can't we go?" Isn't it just us who is being targeted? ”

"Have you forgotten who you are? In the state of Chu, you are now envoys, how can there be a reason for envoys to go out to help arrest criminals. Lu Qingyi shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

Shen Xi nodded in agreement: "You two just stay here obediently, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and it hurts your body if you run around." ”

After the persuasion of Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi, in the end, Ruofeng and Luo Han had no choice but to give up. The two of them sighed and said in unison, "Then since this is the case, we can only stay in the capital." ”

"Don't worry, the capital will be handed over to us." Patting his chest, Ruofeng spoke.

Lu Qingyi nodded, looking at Chang Yi on the other side: "And you also have to stay in the capital, you can't go with you."

"Why can't I go, I'm a native of Chu, and I'm still the prince of Chu, so it's more representative for me to go." Chang Yi heard this and refuted it directly.

Lu Qingyi patted him on the shoulder with his hand: "Don't be in such a hurry, it is precisely because you are the third prince that we can't let you go." ”

"Think about it yourself, now that the second prince has been grounded, the eldest prince has been abolished. You are not the only one in the entire capital who is competitive. If you don't manage well in the capital during this time, when you come back, maybe the second prince will already be on the throne. Shen Xi continued with Lu Qingyi's words.

Chang Yi felt a little reasonable when he heard this. nodded a little disappointed: "I'm tired of staying in the capital, but I heard you say so." Then I'll be reluctant to stay in the capital! ”

Everything has been allocated, and everyone already has a plan in mind. There were three people who went this time: Lu Qingyi, Shen Xi and Liu Congwen. Suppressing bandits is the business of officers and soldiers, and they must have to go to the palace before that.

But when you go to the palace, you will definitely startle the snake, the second prince is the kind of person, is there no eyeliner in the palace? If he knew that Lu Qingyi and the others had gone to the palace, he would definitely think of the bandits.

So the best thing to do is to find someone else. Lu Qingyi found the old eunuch in the Glory Bureau and asked him to hand the news to the emperor. The emperor agreed without saying a word, gave them a holy decree and let them go.

The imperial city of Zhou was a little closer to the northern border of Chu, and this bandit's den was not far from the intersection of the two countries. At the same time, because this is the place where the two countries meet, there are many businessmen who come and go.

Since ancient times, it has been a chaotic place, and bandits and the like have emerged one after another. Lu Qingyi, Shen Xiliu, and the three of them rushed there day and night.

They had never been to the city before, and they thought that the so-called chaos was an exaggeration, but when they arrived at the city gates, they realized that it was indeed happening. Cola Literature

On both sides of the city gate stood the soldiers who were investigating, and their expressions were extremely serious. However, the efficiency of the investigation is not flattering, and it takes half an hour to investigate a person.

At the same time, because of this investigation mechanism, many people have chosen another way to enter the city, and not far from the north of the city gate, there is a gate of one and a half sizes.

The officers of this place also know about it, but they don't check it, and the stakes are too great. The carriage of Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi was blocked outside the city gate for half an hour before entering the county seat.

After finally entering, they were taken to the county magistrate's house, and I have to say that the decoration in the county magistrate's house was even more luxurious than some big officials in the capital.

In the capital, some rich officials are very simple in order not to attract attention, but who can manage the high mountains and far emperors in this county?

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a man covered in flesh walking out of it. He had a flattering smile on his face, but his appearance was really hideous, and this smile looked a little terrifying.

County Magistrate Zhang happily walked in front of Lu Qingyi: "The two should be Lord Lu and Lord Liu from the capital. ”

"County Magistrate Zhang doesn't have to be polite." Lu Qingyi said coldly, in the face of such an official, he really didn't have a good impression.

Liu Congwen didn't speak from beginning to end, just nodded lightly. Shen Xi knew that he was not used to this style, if this person was in the capital, he would definitely be arrested and interrogated in Dali Temple.

County Magistrate Zhang walked into his mansion with the three of them. I saw that County Magistrate Zhang was talking all the way: "The three of them came to suppress the bandits this time." ”

"I heard that there are many bandits in the mountains outside the city, and the emperor is very worried about this, so he sent the three of us." Shen Xi said slowly: "It's just that the three of us have just arrived here, and we don't know much about the situation here, I hope County Magistrate Zhang can introduce us to it." ”

"Alas, the bandits in the mountains are all old! The emperor sent people to suppress the bandits many times, but they did not clean them up, it was like weeds, wildfires could not be burned, and the spring breeze blew and reborn. County Magistrate Zhang sighed when he said this, and his face was full of helplessness.

But Lu Qingyi's eyes were full of an inexplicable look, and he turned his head to look at County Magistrate Zhang next to him, and said slowly: "I'm afraid it's not that it's difficult to get rid of, but that someone doesn't want to exterminate them all." ”

After hearing this, County Magistrate Zhang's face was full of blank expressions: "What does Lord Lu mean by this?" How can anyone not want to get rid of all these harmful guys? ”

Shen Xi understood this problem in his heart, and knew that it was useless to say anything more, I am afraid that this county magistrate Zhang had already colluded with the bandits over there, otherwise, he would not be so rich.

There is a saying called mutual benefit, both of them can give each other certain benefits, then the county magistrate Zhang will not drive out those bandits, and those bandits will give the county magistrate Zhang the remuneration they deserve.

I'm afraid that his mission here will be hindered by him, but because he is serving in the imperial court, his obstacles should be much more hidden.

To put it bluntly, it is a kind of stumbling block for you in secret.

"A few people have come from afar, it's better to take a little rest, I've already found someone to prepare a table of banquets, and I can pick up the wind and wash the dust for you first." County Magistrate Zhang smiled happily.
