There are many deserters, and the officials can only casually catch some old, weak, sick and disabled to make up for the number.

Such a soldier, when he fights, can imagine his combat effectiveness.

This matter has to be solved.

At least solve the matter of the Hangzhou Health Center first.

Even if these people are sent to the government, there will be other deserters, and then it will not be as simple as pretending to be ghosts and cheating money.

Seeing Zhu Bai's contemplation, they reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, should we go to Suzhou City first?" ”

Zhu Bai looked up: "Well, let's go." ”

He thought about it, stopped again, and asked Fugui: "What did you say just now that this Lord Wei was unjustly killed?" ”

Fugui didn't say anything.

Zhu Bai beckoned to him and stepped aside.

Fugui whispered: "The Suzhou Mansion is too broken, and Lord Wei has no money to rebuild it, so he wants to renovate Zhang Shicheng's old palace into the Suzhou Mansion, and by the way, clean up the surrounding rivers that are seriously silted." ”

Zhu Bai suddenly realized that the people of Suzhou have a lot of feelings for Zhang Shicheng. Lao Zhu killed Zhang Shicheng for fear that the people of Suzhou would rebel. As a result, Wei Guan ran to renovate Zhang Shicheng's old palace and touched the dragon scales.

Lao Zhu misunderstood that Wei Guan was aggrieved for Zhang Shicheng, and killed him in a fit of anger.

Zhu Bai glanced at the three deserters: "Come on, come on, you three bastards come over and kowtow to Lord Wei." ”

Poor Wei Guan is a rare clean and good official.

When he was older, he was arrested by Lao Zhu to be an official, and he worked hard for the country, but in the end, he was cut in half for a little thing.

Now that they are dead and dead, they will not be at peace, and they will be used by these deserters as a pretext to deceive people.

The three men looked ashamed and kowtowed to the tombstone.

"The little ones are also forced to have no way out, so they will make this decision."

"Don't blame Lord Wei."

"I'm sorry, it's an insult to your name."

Zhu Bai stood behind them, a little emotional.

Originally, the prefect was rotated every few years. In fact, if it weren't for all the people petitioning to let Wei Guan stay, maybe Lao Zhu would not be so jealous of Wei Guan, and he would have to kill a seventy-year-old man for that little thing.

If it weren't for the people's gratitude for Wei Guan's goodness and their grievances for Wei Guan, they were afraid that he would not be at peace after his death, and they would not have been deceived by the clumsy tricks of a few deserters.

Things in the world are sometimes so ridiculous.

On the way to Suzhou City, Fugui asked Zhu Bai in a low voice: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of ghosts?" ”

Zhu Bai said, "What is there to be afraid of ghosts. Ghosts only scare and scare you, and ask you for something. Talent is terrible, and people ask for other people's lives for money at every turn. ”

Then everyone fell silent.

Isn't it?

Have they seen less along the way?

The guards were even more touched, those thousands of households deducted some silver for Duoke, didn't they just want the lives of these little soldiers?

-----

Zhu Bai called the prefect of Suzhou City and thousands of households to drink tea early in the morning.

The two adults heard the guards guarding the door say that Zhu Bai caught three deserters who pretended to be ghosts and cheated money last night, and their hearts beat drums.

It's fine if the deserters are elsewhere, so the Suzhou guards are in trouble.

Bad luck for both of them.

As a result, Zhu Bai didn't say a word about desertion, and only asked about the county school and Caoyun with a smile.

The prefect sighed: "The state school is open, but there are very few people who come to the exam to enroll." ”

Suzhou has always been wealthy.

Coupled with the matter of Wei Guan, the people of Suzhou were very resistant to entering the court as officials.

Everyone knows why, but no one dares to find out.

Because Wei Guan is one of the things that Lao Zhu thinks he has done wrong, it is a taboo.

If he follows the previous routine in Changzhou to urge students to enter the county school and the state school, I am afraid it will not work.

Zhu Bai tilted his head and pondered what to do.

Suzhou Qianhu was not worried and asked Zhu Bai in a low voice: "Your Highness, the road was smooth yesterday." ”

Zhu Bai nodded: "Smooth, smooth." ”

Isn't it smooth to play the game of ghost catching that he is eagerly looking forward to?

The prefect felt that Zhu Bai must be holding back his big move, but he just felt that it was difficult to say it here, and he had to wait until he got out of Suzhou City and then sued Lao Zhu.

Instead of being frightened and hiding like this, it is better to go straight in and have a good time.

Anyway, even if he doesn't make a mistake, Lao Zhu has to rectify the officials every once in a while and take them under the knife.

The prefect's heart was horizontal, and he waved at Zhu Bai: "Your Highness, did you catch three liars last night, it was Weichen who couldn't make His Highness frightened." ”

Zhu Bai said: "Those three people belong to the Hangzhou Health Center, and they have nothing to do with you." ”

How could it be okay?!

Zhu Bai is planning to do something else with these three people.

The prefect was annoyed.

Chiho was also annoyed.

Hangzhou is the headquarters of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command. He is a subordinate of the commander of Hangzhou, and if Zhu Bai really goes to find trouble with the commander, the commander will definitely come to him for trouble.

The prefect tried to reason with Zhu Bai: "Your Highness. Although the prisoners were from the Hangzhou Health Center, they were caught outside the city of Suzhou, and were conventionally under the jurisdiction of the Suzhou prefect. ”

Zhu Bai tilted his head and asked, "Really?" ”

The prefect and Qianhu nodded in unison: "Yes, yes." ”

Zhu Bai smacked his lips: "However, this king has already released them." ”

The prefect and Qianhu exchanged a look of surprise: Wouldn't it?!

You little Hades would be so kind?!

Zhu Bai sighed and said: "They didn't hurt anyone's lives, this morning this king confiscated all the money they had recently cheated, and one of them was beaten with ten rods, and then released." Why don't you go and get them back?! ”

The prefect and Qianhu hurriedly waved their hands: "Ah, no, no, no, since we have escaped, it will not be under our jurisdiction." ”

"Anyway, it's also from the Hangzhou Health Institute."

I knew that Zhu Bai had already been released, so they pretended to be stupid and didn't ask!!

Anyway, the commanders of those deserters will not report to the police at all in order to avoid punishment.

The prefect and the thousand households secretly repented.

Zhu Bai asked: "Lord Qianhu, there is something unknown about this king. The imperial court had clearly divided the land for these soldiers, so why did they flee? ”

Qianhu's eggs hurt: I have to explain this matter clearly, all the chiefs of the guard will die!

It is all up to the conscience of the rulers.

Anyway, there are quite few deserters in the Suzhou Guard.

Because he is strictly controlled, he is not very greedy, and he does not allow his hundreds of households to be corrupt.

He held back for a long time, his face turned red, and he squeezed out three words: "I don't know." ”

Zhu Bai frowned: "Yesterday, those three people said that they couldn't eat enough to escape." Hangzhou is also a grain production area, and the grain of Yingtian must be transported from Hangzhou. How could the guards in Hangzhou not have enough to eat? ”

Qianhu pursed his lips and remained silent.

Zhu Bai: "Lord Qianhu, are there many deserters in the Suzhou Guard?" ”

Qianhu couldn't help but secretly scolded in his heart: It's another fateful question.

I'm going to say not much, and you're going to ask me why I don't say much.

I'm going to say more, and you're going to ask me why it's more.

I'm going to say I don't know, you're going to call me dereliction of duty.

He pursed his lips, blushing and unable to speak.

Zhu Bai said: "Qianhu, how many soldiers do you have?" ”
