"Oh, what's the matter?" asked Lady Black Bull.

Seeing this, Liu Pengyu didn't beat around the bush, and simply went to the topic, saying, "Madam, I saw a lot of wanted notices posted at the city gate before, this person is Fan Yue, the captain of the sentry team of Axe Yue City, I heard that he colluded with water thieves and intended to rebel, I don't know if this matter is true or false?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Black Bull's face showed a gloomy expression, and she behaved most naturally, and she couldn't see that she was pretending, and then said, "This person is very hateful, he has been undercover in Axe City for several years, defrauding my trust, and is ready to do a big thing, and he will pull my family into the water." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Hei Niu paused, the gloom on her face swept away, revealing a little pain, and then said, "Presumably Duan Gongzi also knows that my father-in-law has been working hard in Nanluo County for many years, and he has been working hard to eradicate thieves one after another.

Xiang Gong will be heartbroken every time he thinks of this, because he can't completely eradicate the thieves in Nanluo County, he can only increase the frustration again and again, only Xiang Gong is still in the status of Zhennan Hou for a day, and those thieves will not be at peace for a day, so if they want to live, they can only pull my Xiang Gong into the water.

In the past few days, Xiang Gong has something to go out, so Fan Yue took the opportunity to conspire against something earth-shattering, fortunately, yesterday I noticed that he was a little wrong, so I inquired, but he himself showed his flaws, and fled in a hurry, now Xiang Gong is not in the house, I, as Mrs. Hei Niu, it is necessary to deal with this matter, if the disposal is not appropriate, please ask Duan Gongzi for some advice. ”

Mrs. Hei Niu's words can be described as orderly, almost making Liu Pengyu think that this matter was done by Fan Yue and the water thieves, but her words were full of flaws.

At the beginning, if Fan Yue really wanted to arrest him and then blame Zhennanhou, then there was no need to catch him alive, so he would simply kill him, but if he died in Nanluo County, this matter would have nothing to do with Zhennanhou;

Moreover, what kind of person Fan Yue is, Liu Pengyu is not clear, but after yesterday's events, this person is the most arbitrary and intelligent person, and he will not let people find flaws at the joint, obviously there must be another reason for this;

Third, he suddenly remembered that when Mu Ange came to save him this morning, those guards were so vulnerable, it was obvious that someone did it on purpose, and there was something to do with it.

However, he didn't dare to boldly link this matter with Mrs. Hei Niu, after all, the Marquis of Zhennan was only a first-class marquis of Taifu in the Great Xia Dynasty, and his status and benevolence were extremely high, if he was framed without any evidence, he would definitely be asking for trouble.

Besides, he didn't have any hope of going against the Marquis of Zhennan, and then reveal the inside story, after all, the Marquis of Zhennan was also a competent marquis in the Great Xia Dynasty, and he was constantly guarding the stability of the frontier.

Seeing that Liu Pengyu did not have any fluctuations, Mrs. Hei Niu suddenly sobbed and said, "Over the years, Xianggong has invested a lot of manpower and financial resources in order to manage thieves, and relying on the imperial court's appropriations alone is not enough to connect with the current setbacks. ”

"Madame, rest assured, Peng Peng's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, and he will definitely be able to become an official in the future. Liu Pengyu replied, and his heart was even more sure of the past expectations, this Mrs. Hei Niu first reasoned, and then moved with emotion, either a ghost or a shame in her heart.

He didn't say anything, the real comparison was about to break down to his identity, so it was wiser to stop the original plan, but I hope that he won't find out about such a thing in the future, otherwise he won't abandon it easily.

Hearing Liu Pengyu's words, Mrs. Hei Niu hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and replied with the worst effect, "Let Duan Gongzi see and smile." ”

Mrs. Black Bull's hospitality was very thoughtful, and almost let Liu Pengyu experience what it means to be meticulous, even in the Fengwei Hou Mansion, he has never been taken care of so much, and he really doesn't know how to look.

Mu Ange was still laughing at him on the side, saying that if he didn't know that Mrs. Hei Niu had no blood relationship with him, otherwise outsiders would really think she was his own mother.

Speaking of this, Liu Pengyu suddenly remembered his mother and younger brother Duan Qiwen, and he didn't know what happened to them now.

Three days later, Liu Pengyu took a boat from Axe Yue City down the river one after another, and went to the next indicator place, Huihai City.

Originally, he was expected to stay in Axe City for five or six days, but because of the delay caused by the incident in the past, he had to leave early, after all, the stone fair was about to start.

The more you go to the lower reaches of the Xuelai River, the more spacious the river surface is, and the more the water flow is relieved, the lower reaches of the Xuelai River are basically plains, which are frustrated by the magnificent river, and the boundless fertile fields are located on both sides of the river, a prosperous and lush scene.

At the same time, he also found a problem, that is, the further downstream, the more ships sent to the sentry team, and the people on the ship said that the reason why the downstream thieves were important was that they were about to reach the sea.

Those water thieves are all pirates on the planetary sea, going up the river to rob passing passenger ships about merchant ships, and then pretending to be merchants and going down the river to the sea, often this kind of pirates are robbing an entire ship, unless they are found at the time of their move, otherwise once they pretend to be the whole ship, it is basically difficult to find flaws.

Therefore, we can only send additional sentry ships to guard on a fixed section of the river, and once the pirates are found, they will simply be killed!

Liu Pengyu thought that this trouble was indeed more vicious to deal with, but Mu Ange disagreed, and said sarcastically, "Hey, what's so difficult about this, only to set up checkpoints on the harbor where the pirates enter Nanluo County and check them one by one, so as not to reduce the number of pirates who have mixed in? Even if he doesn't, won't the Marquis of Zhennan personally exterminate those wandering pirates?"

Such words caused a gentleman on the side to be sentimental, and retorted, "Little girl, you don't understand the stakes involved, if you do what you say, how many people will be needed to be able to defend so many harbors, but I am afraid that the soldiers of Nanluo County will not be enough;

Moreover, it was not only the pirates who came in from the Huanxing Sea, but also merchants from all over the Shangling Continent, who had traveled thousands of miles to Nanluo County, and if they held inspections here, it would inevitably make them waste a lot of time, and once it caused a bad impact, would they come again next time? At that time, the trade of Nanluo County would only be drastically reduced by half;

As for the Zhennan Hou to exterminate the pirates, it is even more unrealistic, you must know that Huanxinghai is not the Great Xia Dynasty, not everyone can be the king and hegemon, besides, the Zhennan Hou has more important things to do than exterminate the pirates, he is the Peng Peng of a county, and it is the strongest fortress on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty, and what he wants to ensure is that the Great Xia Dynasty is not invaded by foreign enemies, so what he began to guard against should be the kingdoms such as the Divine Tree and Qu Zhao;

These pirates are hateful, and they need to be solved urgently, but the time that caused such a thief is not a year or two, but has accumulated over many years, and it is not about enough to lose the foundation in a short period of time, and Zhennanhou can only use this method to compress the pirates' survival and activity space in Nanluo County, forcing them to give up their plan to plunder Nanluo County. ”。

For Mr. Fu's gaze, Liu Pengyu was convinced, and immediately bowed, "What Mr. Fu said is extremely true, I don't know where Mr. Fu is?"

The person who can see the thief so thoroughly must be an extraordinary person, although this gentleman is old and gray, but he is old, and his righteousness is like ten thousand rays of light, which makes people dare not look directly.
