Shangjing Plan Volume: Suppressing Bandits (Medium)
Anyway, it had been decided to let people know that he had brought soldiers, so Li Mingyuan simply asked these 30 people to wear military uniforms and escort these boxes. The common people who fled along the way saw that there were officers and soldiers escorting them, and they all followed the team, and he might have asked people to drive these people away in the past, but this time he did not let people drive them away, so he let these people follow him.
Could it be that he really changed sex? Lin Qingran thought to himself.
In fact, Li Mingyuan himself also found that if he was good to the people, he seemed to be happy, just like the last time he helped the people in the small city to suppress bandits, although it was just a small thing for himself, but it was a very happy event for the people in the small town, and the team also changed the lifeless atmosphere of the past.
As the procession was about to reach the city gate, they saw a group of people coming towards them. "Welcome to everyone in the Dingwang Palace! The arrival of the little marquis really makes this place shine! The leading steward said.
He has also heard a lot of such compliments. "These are all ordinary people who have followed us all the way, and they all have to be taken care of."
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll take care of it. The leading steward said resignedly.
After speaking, Li Mingyuan was ready to enter the city.
Lin Qingran was also used to these officialdom politeness when he was a child, and he didn't care, but Shangjing felt a little cramped. "Are they here to meet us?" Shang Jing asked cautiously.
"It's not to greet you, it's to welcome the little marquis!" Liu Wei said disapprovingly.
"I said Liu Wei, what is the difference between welcoming the little marquis and welcoming us? Not all of them are in one team. Lin Qingran helped Shang Jing fight injustice.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Xiao Hou Ye said that she is the only woman in this team, and she can do whatever she wants.
Soon the team arrived at the location of the official's mansion in the city, "Let me pass the word!" The lead steward said.
After a while, some people came out of it, and they should be the main local officials.
"See the little marquis!" The crowd said.
"Excuse me!"
"We're going to take a break here for the next two days!" Li Mingyuan said.
"Of course, of course, this place has been prepared for the little marquis, the little marquis just rest assured!" Said one of the leading officials.
Then the group of them went inside, Lin Qingran entered the mansion is quite fresh, I haven't entered the official mansion for a long time, look left, look right. "The officials here are quite rich, and these furnishings don't look cheap."
"Can you see that these are not cheap?" Li Mingyuan looked surprised when he saw her.
"What do I do? Of course you can see it. Lin Qingran naturally knew.
"Hey! You guys, don't touch these boxes! Liu Wei saw that someone came to prepare to carry the box, and said fiercely, Li Mingyuan told him that if someone came over, he would be fierce.
"Yes, yes, yes! Then let's go down first! The men said.
"It's going to start acting now, it's okay, Li Mingyuan, you have a lot of ideas!" Lin Qingran said jokingly.
"It's all eyeliner here, can you pay attention to what you say!" Li Mingyuan didn't want his carefully arranged bureau to be seen through like this.
"Good, good! I was wrong! Lin Qingran also found that he was too reckless.
It turned out that she would admit her mistakes, Li Mingyuan suddenly seemed to have discovered something terrible.
The steward also noticed the boxes, and immediately went to report the matter to the master.
"Master, those boxes must contain something of value! Don't let people touch it! The steward said.
"Of course I know, this time the emperor recruited this little marquis to go to the capital, you think it was really to take the prince back, that's all an excuse, this little marquis must not bring some money to the emperor, otherwise he will be locked up like his old son!" It was the official who had just taken the lead who spoke.
"Oh, I see? Do you want to notify ......? ”
"Not for the time being, you have a chance to check how much money he has brought with him."
"Brothers, it's been a hard journey!" Seeing that there were only a few small soldiers guarding, the steward brought some of his subordinates over with a bunch of wine and food. "Here are some drinks and food, let's eat some together!"
Liu Wei told them that if someone brought food, they just had to pretend to eat. "Brothers, come and eat!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity for these officers and soldiers to eat, the steward sneaked into the house, opened the boxes and examined them. It's all money! So many, a whole dozen boxes! Although he had seen money on weekdays, he was surprised to see so many boxes of money, and he was about to take a closer look. "What? Get out! An officer came in and interrupted him. Liu Wei still has this careful thought, Chen Chong said, this money is only superficial, and people can't look at it too much.
The bait has been released!
"They've brought so much money!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Do you think we're going to collect some first?"
"This is Dingwangfu, not good."
"They brought 30 soldiers this time, and we sent some people to them, and it is understandable to collect some money from them!"
"That makes sense! Then you can do it. ”
"Yes, sir!"
In the evening, the steward prepared a table of wine.
"Little Hou Ye, this is a banquet specially prepared for you by our master!" As he spoke, he was about to step forward to toast, but was stopped by Liu Wei for them, "Our little marquis doesn't drink!" Chen Chong said.
"Yes, yes, yes, there is a mountain here, there are more than 200 bandits on it, and they usually go down the mountain to rob a property or something, which is very hateful!"
"Then you don't go and kill them!" Chen Chong said.
"I beat it, but I really can't beat it! I see that this time the little marquis only brought 30 soldiers, I am afraid that it will be dangerous to cross this mountain! ”
"What about you?" Liu Wei asked.
"According to the humble opinion, you can bring more people over!" The steward said.
"How about bringing more people over?" Liu Wei asked.
"Although we are also understaffed, if it is the little marquis, we must take care of it first, but you also know that this little one also has to eat, and I hope that the little marquis can give some rewards!" The steward said in a low voice.
"You ......" Liu Wei was about to say but was interrupted by Li Mingyuan.
"You officials, not only let the thieves rob the house, but also open your mouth and shut your mouth to make money, I will go over these 30 people like this, I don't need you! Get lost! Li Mingyuan was furious when he heard it, and he didn't know if he was pretending to be.
"Yes, yes, what the little marquis said is, let's go down first!" The steward saw that Li Mingyuan was angry, so he had to leave in disgrace.
"Didn't you say that it was a good idea, didn't you make it true?" Lin Qingran couldn't see his impulsiveness.
"Whatever is true or false, you must smelt them well." Li Mingyuan saw that there were so many refugees outside, and these officials not only did not act, but also took advantage of the fire to rob and were angry.
"Forget it, the effect has been achieved anyway!" Lin Qingran didn't bother to argue with him anymore.
After returning home, the steward reported the matter to the official master.
"Master, this little marquis is really young and vigorous! This scolds me! ”
"I really don't know what to do, so you go and inform the big boss first, and see what he says."
This mountain, the terrain is dangerous, it was to see that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the big boss and his brothers built the gate of this village here, and set up camp. Just the gate of this stockade, there is no heavy weapon or anything, and I really don't want to come in.
"Who's coming?"
"Looking for your boss!" The guard at the gate opened the gate as soon as he saw that it was the steward who often came from the city.
"Big boss, looking for you!" As he spoke, he led the man to the great master.
"It turned out to be a steward, what happened today!"
"I'm here to inform you today that in two days, the team of the Dingwang Mansion will pass through you."
"They'll come when they come."
"They've got a lot of money with them this time!"
"Can you see clearly?" The big boss asked.
"It's a real thing! Dozens of large boxes full! So the lord asked me to ask the opinion of the big boss! ”
"This Li Mingyuan is not easy to deal with, a few days ago, he also suppressed dozens of people over there, and I heard that he killed countless enemies on the battlefield!" The big bosses didn't want to provoke them.
"I think that Li Mingyuan is brave and unscrupulous, he only brought 30 soldiers when he came out this time, last time they were lucky, and those people in the city helped, he was able to barely suppress it, this time it was not so lucky." The steward said encroachmently.
"Thirty soldiers, let me consult with the brethren." After he said this, the big boss felt as if he could give it a try.
"Then wait for your good news!"
After the steward left, the big boss gathered his men together.
"Big boss, I think I can grab it! With so much money, as long as we grab this order, we don't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives! The second master said.
"Yes, big boss, this Li Mingyuan is powerful on the battlefield, our mountainous land, we have advantages, we are not afraid of them, not to mention that they are only 30 people!" Another subordinate said.
"Don't underestimate these 30 of them, all of them can fight, especially that Li Mingyuan!" The big boss said.
"Big boss, otherwise, if I take 150 people down the mountain, even if they can fight two at one, can he fight five at one? We'll withdraw when we grab the money! The second master said.
"But ......" the big boss is still worried that there will be an accident.
"Don't do it, there won't be this shop in this village after that, such a lot of money!" The second master said with his eyes lit up.
"Okay then, you guys go, be careful, withdraw as soon as you grab the money!"
"Okay!"
