As soon as these words came out, Wu Song's eyes widened in shock.

He originally thought that his brother was going for the execution and power of the higher-level state capital, but he never expected that there would be such an outrageous-sounding reason!

But if you think about it, in fact, everything has already been traced.

There are many idle people in the government, and they collect money to do things, and there are repeated rumors that the county magistrate has collected the money from the rich man, so that the people have no way to redress their grievances.

Once or twice it may be a rumor, but if there are too many things, things will turn sour.

Wu Song has always firmly believed in one truth.

Nothing will come out of nowhere, so there must be a problem!

Thinking of this, he finally understood all the truths, and deeply agreed with Wu Zhi's approach, and no longer had any doubts.

"Brother, then listen to you, let's go now! This way you should be able to get to the place before dark, and then start interrogating the matter overnight! ”

"Hmm."

Wu Zhi nodded in agreement.

With his brother's approval, Wu Song suddenly felt that his body was full of strength, raised the whip in his hand, and galloped the horse.

In this way, the two of them took a brief look in the village and quickly left.

Not long after the Wu brothers walked on their front feet, a black shadow flashed behind the big tree at the entrance of the village, and the hat covered most of their bodies, and their bodies were thin, as if they would drift away at any time.

He chuckled as he stared in the direction in which the carriage had disappeared for a long time.

"It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, I never thought that the two of you would dare to challenge them, so let's wait and see how far we can go."

After the last word was spoken, the figure flickered, and then jumped away.

I don't know where I'm going.

On the other side, Wu Zhi and Wu Song were speeding up, hurrying to finally reach the location of the higher-level state capital before dark.

It's a bigger and more prosperous town.

They parked the carriage at the door, and had barely jumped down, and before they could take a few steps further, they saw a soldier approaching them.

The man was dressed in armor, held a long sword, and saluted with fists.

"Let's stop here, this is not a place where ordinary people can enter and exit at will, and the carriage had better move away quickly, if the state lord sees it, the consequences-"

Before the words fell, I saw Wu Zhi take out the waist card that Cai Jing had given him before, and his voice was flat.

"I am the general of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, this is my younger brother Wudu head, the waist card is given by Lord Cai, I want to meet with your state capital, there are important matters to discuss, I don't know if I can meet him with such an identity?"

There is not a word of nonsense before and after.

When the soldier heard this, he was dumbfounded, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and it took a while for him to finally come to his senses.

And his attitude has also changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he instantly became respectful, nodded and said: "Yes, of course we can meet, Master Wu, you are really too polite, please come in!" ”

"Huh."

Wu Zhi sneered, and did not intend to continue to embarrass this soldier.

Because he also acts according to the rules, he will stop himself, if he doesn't go through such a process, he will definitely have to be responsible if something happens at that time.

So, after an insignificant episode, the Wu brothers followed the soldiers into the state capital.

It was temporarily placed in the side hall, and refreshments were served.

The two brothers glanced at each other, and after quietly confirming that the tea was non-toxic, they passed the time while sipping tea, waiting for the appearance of the state capital here!

At the same time, in the study.

The man sat at the table, holding a scroll in his hand, and read it carefully.

The air around is silent, and the years are quiet.

But this time did not last long, as a rush of footsteps was interrupted, and the panting soldier pushed the door in, out of breath.

"My lord, Lord Cai's men are down, and I want to see you by name!"

"Huh?"

The man's expression froze, tilting his head, his face full of doubt.

The soldier finally came to his senses and continued, "Although I don't know what the situation is, it seems that it is not a small matter, so you should go and take a look." ”

"Okay."

As soon as the words fell, the man quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked briskly towards the front yard.

When he arrived at the place, he had just seen two figures sitting on the chairs inside, and before he could even say hello, he heard a deep voice.

"Liuzhou Mansion, first time meeting, please advise."

"Hello General Wu."

Liu Zhinian said hello.

Both sides are smart people with brains, and they sit down after greeting each other.

Wu Zhi asked straight to the point: "Liuzhou Mansion, the Ming people don't say secret words, do you really not know anything about the slaughter of the subordinate villages by water bandits?" ”

"General Wu, I also just received the news, you can listen to my explanation first."

"Then please speak."

Liu Zhinian calmly drank a cup of tea and spoke eloquently.

He has so many towns and villages under his command, and if he reports to him every day, he will not be exhausted.

So in order to avoid accidents, he kept everything to the bottom of his heart.

Wu Zhi frowned and thought.

In this case, it seems that there are not many flaws to explore!

"General Wu, you have also seen that the slaughter of my people by the water bandits is not groundless, there are many strange things here."

"Oh?"

"First of all, when the bandits slaughtered those towns and villages, why were only a few small ones selected? Secondly, since the water bandits slaughtered those small villages, how could they not even spare my people? ”

"This ......"

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, what Liu Zhinian said was reasonable, but he couldn't find the words to refute it.

"I think the reason for this can only be investigated by you, General Wu."

"Liu Zhinian, I can help you find the bodies of those who were slaughtered, but you must give me a suitable reason."

"General Wu, of course."

"Then my brother and I can't be busy, you have to send a few more people to us, in this case, your losses will be much less."

"This ......"

Liu Zhinian groaned, he really needed the strength of Wu Zhi and Wu Song, and his purpose was also this.

"Okay, no problem."

Wu Zhi heartily agreed, and then added, "But you have to let my people follow, so that I can also find out about the water bandits as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, no problem."

"Then I'll thank Liuzhou Mansion first."

After speaking, Wu Zhi stood up and said with a smile: "Take us to see those soldiers, be skilled in advance, and it will be more convenient to act." ”

"Okay, please come with me."

With that, the two walked out of the study side by side.

When they came to the outer courtyard, the two saw the soldiers kneeling on the ground at a glance.

"See Liuzhou Mansion, see General Wu."

Liu Zhinian bowed slightly, signaled everyone to be exempt, and then pointed to the man kneeling in front and introduced: "General Wuzhi, this is Zhang Wenlong, the commander of our soldiers, he will be responsible for leading the team for this period of time!" ”
