Chapter 72: Not too old, not too pompous

Early the next morning, Shen Yunfan's face was a little pale.

Last night, because I soaked in hot water for a while, I saw too fragrant scenes, so the nosebleed couldn't stop, and I ended up dealing with the nosebleed overnight.

Shen Yunfan, Shen Yunfan, is too angry!

He was full of regret and muttered, "It's a pity that I wasted a good opportunity to take a mandarin duck bath."

The wind chime next to him rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I have shed so much blood, and I am still thinking about the mandarin duck bath, young master, you are really stupid!"

While the two were talking, Xie Min came to knock on the door.

"Lord Qincha, Lord Zhou Tongwang is already waiting downstairs!"

Zhou Tong is the adjutant of Taishou, that is, the second-in-command of a state. Now that Jiaozhou is too guarded, the state is the acting leader of Jiaozhou.

"Okay, go down right now." Shen Yunfan responded.

Xie Min went downstairs first when he heard this, and at this time, there was a man in his forties sitting on the first floor of the inn in luxurious clothes, this was Wang Tong.

"What about people?"

"Said he would come down right away."

"Hmph, it's not that old, but the pomp is not small." Wang Tong sneered, he had already learned the general situation of Shen Yunfan from Xie Min last night.

The court sent such a hairy boy, and he naturally didn't take it seriously. After all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and he, the head snake, is not afraid of any court officials.

"My lord, they are the Qin Patrol Press, let's keep a low profile."

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things." Wang Tong frowned.

Xie Min pursed his lips and could only retreat to the side.

At this time, Shen Yunfan walked downstairs.

Wang Tong saw that his face was pale, and when he saw the wind chimes following next to him, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Lord Qincha is so blessed, I'm afraid it's a night sheng song, right?"

When he spoke, not only did he not salute, but he did not even stand up.

Obviously, he wanted to give a dismount.

Shen Yunfan's face sank, and he casually picked up the tea next to him and splashed it directly on Wang Tong's face.

"What are you doing?" Wang Tong was furious and stood up suddenly.

"I thought you were disabled, but you could stand?" Shen Yunfan said gloomily.

"What does it have to do with you whether I will stand or not?" Wang Tong was aggressive, and the guards behind him all stepped forward, which was extremely arrogant.

As the head snake of Jiaozhou, which official of the imperial court can't give him some face? In his eyes, if he threatens like this, Shen Yunfan has to admit it!

However, this time Wang Tong obviously thought wrong.

"Looks like it's a lack of discipline." Shen Yunfan said coldly and threw the teacup to the ground.

The cup shattered, attracting everyone's attention.

In the blink of an eye, there were several grimaceous black-clothed people around quietly, and the short sword in one of them was even on Wang Tong's neck.

Wang Tong's face changed suddenly, cold sweat came down, and he could only ask boldly:

"You...... You can't do it if you want to commit murder on the border of Jiaozhou!"

Shen Yunfan stepped forward and patted Wang Tong's face: "I am the secretary of the military department, the acting prime minister, and now I am the first rank of the Qin Patrol. You're a six-pinned state, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending?"

"I've cut off your head now, no one dares to ask, and the next day someone will grab your place, do you believe it?"

The tone was cold, Wang Tong shivered, and his legs trembled like a sieve.

After a while, he whispered, "One ...... Everything is done according to the instructions of Lord Chincha!"

"Okay." Shen Yunfan said loudly, "I came to Jiaozhou this time to do three things. First, eliminate banditry. Second, capture the remnants of Zheng Guo. Third, find out the case of Taishou's death. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone agreed.

But Shen Yunfan noticed a detail, originally he just mentioned Taishou in passing, but when he mentioned the word Taishou, Wang Tong inexplicably showed a trace of panic.

Could it be that there is something else wrong with the death of Jiaozhou Taishou?

He remained silent and pretended not to

Discover the clues.

At this moment, Di Xingchang brought people in, and when he saw the scene here, he was dissatisfied and said, "What are you doing? Is it possible to kill people in broad daylight?"

"Let's all go down." Shen Yunfan waved his hand.

Only then did the five-way ghosts retreat.

Di Xingchang frowned, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Several adults, the Jiaozhou defenders have already come to deliver information, I think, after getting the location of the bandits' den, let's go and kill them all."

"Don't be impatient." Shen Yunfan reminded.

Di Xingchang glanced at him, put on a look of "who cares about you", and walked out with his own people.

Shen Yunfan squinted his eyes and followed.

All of this was seen by Wang Tong. He followed behind, his expression gloomy, not knowing what to calculate.

The group soon went to meet the spies sent by the Jiaozhou defenders and got a map showing the location of the bandits' dens. There are three relatively large bandit dens in the entire Jiaozhou.

It is said that the fleeing bandits also hid in these three bandit dens.

The three bandit dens should have about 4,000 people, of which more than 2,000 were remnants of Zheng Guo's soldiers.

After Di Xingchang read it, he immediately took three thousand imperial forest troops to exterminate the bandits.

But Shen Yunfan stopped: "The enemy is outnumbered, and we should be fully prepared."

"We're a regular army, they're just a rabble, what else do we need to prepare?" Di Xingchang scoffed, "If you don't understand military affairs, don't point fingers."

"Regular Army? Then why did you kill 12,000 people in the battle against Zheng Jun before?" Shen Yunfan glared at him.

was poked in the sore spot, Di Xingchang's face was red and his ears were red. Without waiting for him to speak, Shen Yunfan added: "You said that I don't understand military affairs, but if I hadn't messed with the corpse of He Chengyun, your casualties would have increased by a few thousand."

At this moment, Di Xingchang was completely speechless, and could only hang his head and let him command.

Shen Yunfan pondered for a moment and instructed, "The intelligence says that these bandits are good at using fire to attack, and each of you can carry a bag of water, and at a critical moment, you can save your life with mud."

"In addition, the Jiaozhou earthen village is low, but it is very narrow inside. You go to the Jiaozhou Military Affairs Office and replace the long halberds, long knives and other weapons with short knives and short swords, which are easier to play."

"Be prepared today, and it's not too late to set out tomorrow to suppress the bandits."

Di Xingchang looked reluctant, and a sentence came out between his teeth, "Yes."

Then he led the people away and went to prepare.

"Lord Chincha, then let's go back to the inn and rest?" Xie Min asked.

"No, go to the Taishou Mansion, this official wants to see the scene of Taishou's death!"
