In the afternoon of the same day.

Yuan Zonggao went to the state government, and when he came back, he asked Zhu Youqi to see him alone, and he didn't even call Zhang Zuo.

In the study, Yuan Zonggao told Zhu Youqi in detail what he heard in the state government and truthfully told Zhu Youqi.

Zhu Youqi listened to the solemn expression.

“…… Yuan Changshi, there have always been bandits in the Huguang realm, why did you say that the bandits came to my Xingwang Mansion this time? Is the confession of the detailed work who came to the state city to spy on the news credible? ”

It turned out that the inspection department had captured a few detailed works that had entered the city to spy on the news, and there was a bandit leader among them, and under strict torture, it was learned that it was the rogue who was about to attack Anlu Prefecture, and the target was Wangzhuang, where the Xingwang Mansion was outside the city.

Of course, Zhu Youqi felt that this news was too nonsense.

No matter what, Xingwangfu is also a royal family, and there is a regular armed force called the Royal Honor and Guard Division under his hands, so you a group of bandits dare to trouble the palace?

It's crooked!

Yuan Zonggao sighed: "I didn't believe it before I went down, but when I saw Kuang Zhizhou himself, I learned after reading the case that the bandits came from Jiangxi and obviously had a ...... with Nanchang Mansion Ning Fan, too close to the past. ”

"Sss

Zhu Youqi took a breath of cool air.

Ordinary thieves, not to mention targeting Xingwangfu, even if they face ordinary county officials, they have to flee for their lives.

But this time the intelligence showed that the bandits who threatened the safety of Anlu Prefecture had the support of King Ning behind them, and their courage was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary petty thieves.

"King Xing, I don't like to listen to what I said below, Bohu is in Xingwangfu, although he has never publicized it to the outside world, but he has lived in Anlu for more than a year, and he has returned to his hometown and province before, so it is inevitable that he will not be targeted by Ning Fan...... Ning Fan didn't dare to openly oppose my Xingwang Mansion, but if he used conspiracy and treachery to make trouble......"

Yuan Zonggao said a very real problem.

Xingwangfu is not in the boundary of Jiangxi, and it has nothing to do with Ning Wangfeng, Ma Niu, so it should be safe.

But the problem is that Xingwangfu and Ningwangfu have festivals because of Tang Yin.

Tang Yin pretended to be crazy and fled from Nanchang City, it is very likely that he knows some of the inside stories of King Ning's rebellion, but this room was taken in by King Xing's Mansion, in King Ning's opinion, you obviously don't give me face.

On the surface, I can't do anything about your Xingwangfu, but I command some errands to go to Anlu Prefecture to make trouble, and rob Wangzhuang by the way, so that your Xingwangfu is not at peace, and by the way, hit your economic lifeline...... This is not difficult for Ning Wangfu.

Zhu Youqi frowned and said: "Yuan Changshi, you have done an analysis before, Tang Jiaoxi may know about the rebellion of Ning Wangfu, you see this matter...... Is it necessary to report to the imperial court? Ning Wangfu dares to make trouble with bandits, if he tolerates it again at this time, will he be too cowardly? ”

In the past, Xingwangfu didn't want to pay attention to what Ning Wangfu was doing in Jiangxi, but now that everyone is bullying him, if he still blindly avoids it, wouldn't it be too weak?

What will the world think of Xingwangfu?

Yuan Zonggao shook his head: "Yuan Mou once served in Jiangxi for a year, and he has a deep experience, King Ning is good at buying and demagoguery, and the court is even more traitorous.

"If I am accused by those traitors, saying that my palace has nothing to do, and I have a heart of disobedience......"

Zhu Youqi frowned.

Even if Yuan Zonggao didn't say it, Zhu Youqi also realized that this old and serious prince of the palace has always advocated that he should cut off contacts with the people of the DPRK and China, protect himself wisely, and be ready to go.

In the past, it was okay to be low-key, but now that Ning Wangfu is about to ride on his head to and pee, do you still have to retreat?

Yuan Zonggao said: "King Xing, as I can see, we have to quickly organize people to complete spring ploughing, strengthen the guards in various villages, and deal with them in time once the thieves attack...... In addition, the old and weak women and children in the royal village outside the city should be moved to the city as soon as possible to settle down. ”

Zhu Youqi shook his head: "There are only a few houses in the city, where are there so many places to replace?" ”

Yuan Zonggao smiled: "Isn't there Zhu Hao?" ”

"Huh!?"

Zhu Youqing never thought that this kind of thing could be related to Zhu Hao.

Yuan Zonggao changed his solemn face before, and said with a smile: "Su Xigui, the younger brother of Huang Fantai, is in charge of the family, and there are some industries in the local area, you can ask him for help in this matter, if Huang Fantai cares about the Anlu thieves and the chaos, and understands that it is difficult to get out of the Xingwang Mansion, there is no need to formally send troops, as long as the soldiers and horses are slightly mobilized and the momentum is built, the thieves will not dare to run rampant."

"In addition, Zhu Hao and his mother run a collapsed house business, and the family property is quite rich, and there may be idle houses in the local area that can be borrowed from Xingwangfu."

Obviously, Yuan Zonggao didn't know the details of Zhu Niang's mother and son, and thought that the business was very big and he had a lot of industries.

But I don't know that Zhu Niang is afraid of being remembered by the Zhu family, even if she buys land and property, she is outside the city, as for the house, there is only that old house, and the others are real estate purchased by Zhu Hao secretly, which has never been made public.

Zhu Youqi nodded happily: "Then this matter will be handed over to Yuan Changshi to deal with." ”

……

……

Previously, the chief of the palace, Shi Si, was pressed by the Cheng Feng Division because Zhang Jingming and Yuan Zonggao were not there, and Yuan Zonggao came back and ended in failure in the internal struggle with Zhang Zuo, which made the decline of the Chang Shi Division show its decline recently.

This time, through the theft, Yuan Zonggao was determined to regain power.

Zhang Zuo only has the control of the palace's warehousing and big accounts, and the bandits outside the city need to communicate with the government.

As for mobilizing manpower and material resources to prevent theft, it is naturally better for a wise old man like Yuan Zonggao to be responsible, no matter what you Zhang Zuo says, he is just a slave, in the eyes of the world, once a major event happens, it can only be decided by the scholar.

The house slave is responsible for the affairs of the house slave, although the palace knows that you are loyal, but the overall soldiers, horses, money and food dispatch, the house slave first stand aside and obey the order.

After Zhang Zuo learned of this, his first reaction was to go to Tang Yin to discuss.

He Zhang Zuo can't replace Yuan Zonggao's status in the palace, but if Tang Yin is added, he will have the opportunity to make a plank, and when he arrived in the East Courtyard, he was told that Tang Yin, Fan Yikuan, Lu Song and Jiang Lun were not there that day, and they actually made an appointment to go out of the palace to drink together, and they might not come back until very late.

Zhang Zuo was anxious, but helpless.

No matter how you say that Tang Yin is serving King Xing and helping you Zhang Zuo make suggestions, that is to look up to you, but people are not obliged to listen to your dispatch in everything, and besides, the person who paid Tang Yin for work is not you......

Zhang Zuo suddenly realized that winning over Tang Yin was already the top priority at present.

……

……

At this time, Zhu Hao went home to meet his mother, and went to worship in front of his father's spiritual seat, and told him the good news of the head of the county in the examination, so he changed his clothes and went out of the city to run errands.

In the morning, the shopkeeper came to the house, saying that there was a business matter to discuss, and Zhu Hao speculated that it was related to the mirror business of the Ouyang family.

In fact, in the past two days, Zhu Hao also vaguely learned that Jiangxi bandits had fled to the boundary of Huguang and colluded with local robbers to loot Jiangbei Prefecture, and now they have broken through the villages built by some landlords and gentry, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil.

Piracy in Jiangxi has existed for a long time.

The two governors of southern Gan before and after failed to quell the robbery, and Wang Shouren, who did not know the soldiers, was activated by the imperial court to deal with the thieves with all his might, but for the time being, there was no immediate effect.

According to history, the main reason for the rampant banditry in Zhengde, Jiangxi for about ten years is that the officials and thieves colluded. The robbers will be broken into pieces, hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and wait for the government to die down before coming out to plunder.

In areas where the imperial court was more dominant, such as the vicinity of Nanchang and Wuchang Mansions, bandits did not dare to provoke them at all, but in areas where the defense was relatively empty, such as Anlu Prefecture, which had two counties under its jurisdiction......

When the robbers came, the government basically closed the city gate and did not come out, and the villages formed villages to protect themselves, waiting for the bandits to attack, and the robbers looted and found that there was not much oil and water, so they would naturally move to the next area, until the government organized soldiers and horses to clean up, and then ran to the deep mountains and old forests to hide.

Cycle.

Zhu Hao led people to the Han River and found that there were soldiers and horses patrolling the ferry.

Hanshui wharf merchants gathered, trade developed, goods from Jiangnan and Bashu from here disembarked, transported to the neighboring state capital, is the most prosperous place in the state, although the ferry did not build a city wall, but also built some forts, supplemented by a three-meter-high wooden fence, if the bandits approached, in the case of stationed soldiers and horses, can support for a period of time.

The robbers have repeatedly succeeded in robbing homes and houses, mainly because they are mobile and flexible, relying on the speed of the march to fight guerrilla attacks with the government, so they are basically lightly armed, seriously lack siege equipment, and have extremely poor ability to attack fortifications, so even in a place like a ferry, a small group of bandits cannot be captured.

"Little proprietor."

The shopkeeper bowed when he saw Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao smiled and asked, "I'm so anxious, but there's news from the Ouyang family?" ”

The shopkeeper sighed: "Waiting for people's hearts to be anxious...... After listening to the words of the little owner, I sent someone to take a fast boat overnight, caught up with the cargo ship in Anqing Mansion in Nanzhili, and bribed a steward of the Ouyang family to open the box to check the mirror, and then the matter was revealed...... Last night, Ouyang came to the Didian to inquire about related matters, and he tried his best to cover it up.

"She came again this morning, and her attitude became agitated, asking us to give her justice, otherwise it will cause trouble to the government. I went to your house and didn't find anyone, and when I came back, she pointed at my nose and scolded me for a long time, and then rushed back to the city in a rage...... Why don't you go to the inn to meet him? ”

The shopkeeper is a businessman, but under Zhu Hao's ears, he already has the potential of a profiteer, and when he mentioned the reaction of the female head of the Ouyang family, his face was full of schadenfreude.
