"Yes, yes, if it were in the barracks, it would never have happened. So I'm sure it's a bandit cottage! And that Su Dongpo walked sideways in the cottage, everyone listened to him, he must be the owner of the village!

Childe, if you say that others raise so many bandits outside Beijing, let alone you, even I don't believe it. But Fuyao Lou has a lot of money, and they are completely capable of doing this kind of thing!"

Sun Fatzi said.

"You repeat, from beginning to end, not a single detail can be missed."

"Yes, that's it, that night......

Sun Fatzi told all the experiences again.

Obviously, Sun Fatzi didn't dare to lie to him. Because the other salt merchants also said that there were indeed a lot of people with weapons that night.

Then what Sun Fatzi said is true.

Although this incident also made Lu Zhenghong unbelievable, what Sun Fatzi said was indeed reasonable.

There are barracks inside and outside the city, and the number of troops stationed there is a variety of numbers, and the total number of troops is more than 200,000.

These numbers are different from each other, and each other's generals may not even have met a few times.

If there is a group of people mixed in under the banner of the army, it is really not impossible.

"Are you being blackmailed?" Lu Zhenghong asked.

"Yes, yes, then Su Dongpo threatened my family's life, how dare I not sell salt to him!" Sun Fatzi said again and again.

"Then why didn't you report the situation to my son as soon as possible?" Lu Zhenghong asked.

"Am I not afraid? You said that I sold the salt to Fuyaolou, and I couldn't do anything about it, otherwise what would I think

It's a loss-making deal. But if I don't sell it, what if people kill my whole family?" Sun Fatzi said bitterly.

"Do you remember the location of the cottage?"

"Outside the East City! I don't remember exactly where it was, but I knew it wasn't far from the grove!"

When Lu Zhenghong heard this, he didn't say anything, got up and walked into the courtyard.

He re-inquired with the salt merchants about the night.

"Childe, I did meet a lot of people that night, all shirtless, fierce and vicious!"

"Yes, they all have tattoos! Great Flame Law, people with tattoos can't join the army!"

"Not only do I have tattoos, but I also see a guy who is almost a foot tall! That guy seems to be gnawing on a human leg, and it's raw!"

"They have all kinds of weapons, knives, hammers, axes, maces, everything!"

"It's a lot of gangsterism! It's scary, but it's good that we can run fast!"

……

Lu Zhenghong went back to the mansion and locked himself in the study and thought carefully.

According to the analysis of the salt merchants, the number of bandits outside Beijing is in the range of 8,000 to 10,000.

Fuyaolou dares to raise so many bandits outside Beijing, but it is really bold!

Actually, this matter has nothing to do with him Lu Zhenghong.

Not to mention 18,000 people, even 18,000 people, it may not be able to set off any waves outside the capital.

But Fuyao Lou harmed his interests.

The salt merchants couldn't sell salt, and they were all monopolized by Fuyao Lou, which meant that he Lu Zhenghong had no money to make.

No wonder Fuyao Tower is menacing this time, it turns out that so many bandits have been ambushed outside the city in advance.

It's just 10,000 people, he

Lu Zhenghong is not helpless.

As long as you kill those bandits and catch the leader, Fuyao Tower will be completely finished.

If Lu Zhenghong wants to deal with the 10,000 bandits, he has to transfer troops from the military department.

He thought about it and thought of a solution that didn't mean anything.

As long as he can lend the soldiers, he will destroy the bandits raised by Fuyao Tower, which is a great achievement.

When the time comes, not only can you take back your business, but you can also be the emperor

Promoted!

So, Lu Zhenghong personally walked a few government offices, and finally borrowed troops from the military department.

The current situation of the military department is a little special.

Naturally, it was because Su Xuan hung up the rank of squire of the military department.

Although Su Xuan is not a regular position, he can enjoy the same power as a temporary position.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that he is a celebrity in front of the eyes of the four princesses, and even the emperor appreciates him very much.

In this matter, the military department did not decide at the first time, but invited Su Xuan over.

"Grandpa Su, I didn't mean to disturb you. But here's a secondment paper, which is related to the household department. Now the household department is under the control of the public government, so we want to hear your opinion."

An old scholar said and handed a piece of paper to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan immediately took it apart and took a look.

"Seconded 40,000 Janissaries to inspect the fields outside the city and open a road destroyed by a flash flood...... Where did you get this paper?" Su Xuan asked.

"The Ministry of Industry sent it, and we originally planned to approve it. One of the above is to inspect the field, which is also related to the household department. Therefore, we would like to ask if there has been such a move in the household department recently." The old pedant asked politely.

"Recently, our family has only been in charge of the deficit of the national treasury

We don't care about trivial matters. If it's customary, what should be the decision?" Su Xuan asked.

"That's a downward order, of course."

"Then follow the rules and lower the order." Su Xuan handed the paperwork back to the old scholar.

Although Su Xuan doesn't care much about the idle affairs of the household department, he runs at both ends of the household building every day, and he must know what is going on in the household department.

At present, the household department is basically still in a semi-paralyzed state.

In addition to routine affairs, some important affairs are basically handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, Su Xuan can be sure that this inspection field is fake.

Since the inspection of the fields is fake, the opening of the road must also be fake.

And this document was sent by the Ministry of Industry, could it be that Lu Zhenghong was thinking crookedly?

He is a little gentleman, and he will definitely not dare to rebel.

Besides, seconding 40,000 Praetorian Guards, what kind of rebellion?

The Praetorian Guard is not under the direct control of the Ministry of War, and if you want to be transferred, you have to hand over documents to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, this Lu Zhenghong has gone around in a big circle.

Although Su Xuan didn't know what Lu Zhenghong wanted to do, he felt that this matter must be very interesting.

The next day, Lu Zhenghong got the order from the military department.

It's not the first time he's done borrowing troops to do things.

This is the first time that 40,000 troops can be seconded.

He watched the black pressure on a large number of soldiers, and it was inevitable that he would be a little excited.

If these soldiers are under his control, then he is at least a third-rank general.

No wonder the Great Yan Dynasty is so strict with the canonization of military generals, it turns out that being a general is like this.

Lu Zhenghong did not choose to do it during the day, but after nightfall, he let Sun Fatzi lead the way out of the city

。

Sun Fatzi looked at so many people behind him, and his heart was about to jump out.

"Childe, these are these?"

"Forty thousand Praetorian Guards."

"Childe is going to lead the troops to pacify the bandits?"

"That's right, this son has 40,000 people in his hands, can you have confidence?"
