Chapter 342: The Wicked Have Their Own Evildoers
Shao Zhiqiu also assured that even if her plan was not successful, it would just be a matter of dragging some half-grown children around, and the young guards on the left and right would also have to travel.
The price paid by the imperial court was nothing more than to pull out a team of men and horses to ambush near the bandits, and if there was a chance, they would be captured in one fell swoop, and if there was no opportunity, they would have the right to train the soldiers.
Raising soldiers for a thousand days is not a lot of work for those in charge.
In the end, it is the daughter-in-law he chose, since it is harmless, Emperor Jingwen naturally wants to support it, at least on the surface.
However, Shao Zhiqiu had already arranged for the local officials to collude with the bandits and bandits when the ministers were in trouble, otherwise they were just a group of thieves, how could they let them run rampant for so long?
Although this kind of participation is pointless and meaningless, it can be a thorn in Emperor Jingwen's heart.
Especially now that Emperor Jingwen is going to send someone to clean them up, he will naturally be more vigilant, so under Shao Zhiqiu's intentional or unintentional reminder, Emperor Jingwen decided to secretly dispatch the foreign government and go to suppress the bandits.
In this way, it is even more in line with Shao Zhiqiu's mind.
Before leaving the palace, Emperor Jingwen looked at Shao Zhiqiu with a smile and said.
Her plan, the imperial court has also contributed, even if it does not work out at this time, Emperor Jingwen will not hold her responsible, but there is only one thing that Shao Zhiqiu must do, and that is to ensure the safety of the young guards.
There is no room for error in this regard.
After all, Emperor Jingwen didn't want to see the monarch and ministers centrifugal, it was okay to suppress it, but it was appropriate to appease it, right?
It's easy to soothe someone who gets hurt or something, but if someone dies, it's not easy.
Shao Zhiqiu originally didn't plan to take the lives of the young guards, but they were just children who were being used, so she naturally promised again and again that she would never risk everyone's lives, so Emperor Jingwen let her be.
So Shao Zhiqiu asked Emperor Jingwen for a favor, that is, to let the palace people take the imperial doctor to each family to condole, so that there is today's situation.
When he was leaving, Emperor Jing Wen couldn't help laughing and scolded Shao Zhiqiu for being cheap and behaved.
As for the generals and soldiers sent, even Shao Zhiqiu didn't know, Emperor Jing Wen only said that she would wait for news when she arrived in the local area, and gave her half an iron talisman.
Naturally, someone took the other half to join her.
This is a small accident in Shao Zhiqiu's plan, and she originally wanted to discuss and cooperate in advance, but now it seems that she can only talk about it then.
The one who can play the most representative role is defeated.
The young guards, who were still reckless and ruthless in the young guards, also muttered in their hearts at this time.
They are all big families, and Shao Zhiqiu released the news earlier, and someone has already gone to investigate the situation of the gang of thieves.
That's really not a good stubble, not to mention the ruthlessness, but also quite skilled, it's really not something that these children can deal with.
The reason why the elders finally compromised was because they knew in their hearts that Emperor Jingwen would not let so many children go to death, and everyone wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Shao Zhiqiu's pot.
Shao Zhiqiu is so high-profile, it is clear that he is a conspiracy.
If so, if you still have to bump into it, it will be a mortal enemy who will never die.
But after all, the young guards are careless, how can there be so many twists and turns in their hearts.
Shao Zhiqiu organized everyone's guards into a queue, and the guards were originally a little reluctant, but Shao Zhiqiu said coldly, if they were disobedient, they would go back, and everyone would be honest.
Sure enough, the soft ones are afraid of the hard, and the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal.
It's really that the guards looked at their masters, all of them lowered their heads, like little sheep, and almost shocked their jaws, the masters are like this, they are a little guard, what are they messing with others?
The group was mighty and had no intention of concealing it.
Under the instigation and stimulation of Shao Zhiqiu, the teenagers who were originally a little cowardly were aroused again, and the guards who watched shook their heads, how could they not think that their master's IQ was worrying before...
Several capable staff members in Qi Ruichen's mansion were standing aside with a frown, and Qi Ruichen asked with a gloomy expression.
"So, the fifth brother is missing?"
The person who replied nodded.
"There was no news two days ago, the last time it appeared was in Prince An's Mansion, and there has been no news since then, and our people in Prince An's Mansion haven't seen anyone."
"Didn't you go out of the city with Shao Zhiqiu?"
The person who replied shook his head in denial.
Qi Ruichen was vigilant.
Now he no longer has the mind to win over Shao Zhiqiu and the Zhenguo Mansion.
With his understanding of Shao Zhiqiu, he couldn't think of anything that could be used to win her over or control her for a while.
Since it can't be used by him, it's better to accompany the fifth child to die.
Qi Ruichen hated in his heart!
Thinking of this, Qi Ruichen turned his head to look at Luohu on the side.
When he recruited Luo Hu, of course, because of his talent, it was more important because of his relationship with Shao Zexuan.
Over the years, he has secretly instructed Luo Hu and Shao Zexuan to maintain a relationship, and now it seems that he is going to use this move.
He also ordered people to continue to search for Qi Wu's whereabouts, and let them disperse.
It's just that he left Luohu alone.
Shao Zhiqiu didn't know that Qi Ruichen's mind had changed so much.
In Shao Zhiqiu's heart, the two of them have long been in an endless situation, but now they have just surfaced, and the two are just going to start a head-on confrontation.
Out of the capital, everyone had to walk for another seven or eight days, and on this way, Shao Zexu's training of the young guards never stopped.
The guards could still ride horses, but the young guards had to dismount and trot behind the group.
The guards watched their masters being dominated one by one, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, really the wicked are more wicked!
Shao Zhiqiu and the others acted so flamboyantly, the news had already spread everywhere, and even the bandits they were going to deal with had already heard about it.
Of course, someone did it on purpose.
And it is also the situation that Shao Zhiqiu wants to see, so when Shao Zhiqiu and the others arrived at the lair of the gang of thieves, the other party had already prepared food and grass and was ready for battle.
That's right, when the group of thieves heard about the origin of Shao Zhiqiu and the others, they made up their minds not to entangle with them, and directly retreated into the mountains to become turtles, and no matter how Shao Zhiqiu and others scolded, they would never come out to fight.
In this way, Shao Zhiqiu's goal was achieved, and the matter was delayed.
In the next few days, Shao Zhiqiu directly led people to camp at the foot of the mountain and besieged the bandits.
As soon as Shao Zhiqiu and the others arrived at the place, Qinghuai asked people to send a message over, the materials stored by the bandits, plus the mountains could feed people, if it really took time, but Shao Zhiqiu and they couldn't afford it.
Of course, Shao Zhiqiu can't really consume with them, this is just a smoke bomb that Shao Zhiqiu put into the capital.
It wasn't them who destroyed the main force of this group of real people left and right.
Without Qi Wu showing up, Shao Zhiqiu didn't know if Qi Ruichen would make a move, and they just came, so they couldn't leak the flaws too quickly.
She had to give the young guards a chance to get the news out.
Shao Zhiqiu began to command everyone to slowly advance up along the foot of the mountain, until they reached more than ten zhang in front of the cottage gate, and then entered a clearing, and they could already see the bandits with bows and arrows in the sentry.
Shao Zhiqiu asked everyone to go in a group, and from here they began to set traps at the bottom of the mountain.
If none of them go down the mountain, it's fine, but if anyone wants to go down the mountain secretly, they must definitely catch them.
It's just that Shao Zhiqiu is entangled in her heart, she doesn't know where the mountain behind this cottage is, and now from the map, it is a cliff, but it is difficult to guarantee that the thieves have lived here for a long time and know some unknown paths.
