All Hail Cousin Brother

Mr. Li's face was full of shame: "But it was the lower official's inability to govern the area, which allowed bandits to run amok in the area. They attacked the princess and caused her body to be damaged. The lower official is extremely ashamed."

Yu Youyao said calmly: "Master Li, you don't have to blame yourself. He just thought he was an ordinary bandit, so he was careless for a moment. Who knew that these bandits had some origins. They actually escaped from the Xishan Mountains and occupied the mountain." As the king, he also gathered four to five hundred men, very fierce."

Mr. Li was almost frightened to death.

The bandits coming out of the Hundred Thousand Miles Mountain are all desperadoes with a lot of evil, so the implications are huge.

Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, bandits have been entrenched in this area. Now hundreds of years have passed, bandits have been suppressed again and again, but the bandits are still eradicated.

He couldn't help but feel lucky, and thanks to his extra foresight, he saw that the gangsters had lost their morals and frequently committed crimes in the Anshan area, committing many murders. He felt that it was a bit difficult, so he raised the issue with Princess Shaoyi. This issue.

Otherwise, if we just wait for the bandits to continue to grow in power, sooner or later they will develop into a serious problem in the Liancheng area.

It is even more difficult for the government to suppress bandits.

The banditry was too big, and he couldn't afford to be held accountable by the state capital.

Mr. Li's reaction was completely within Yu Youyao's expectation: "You don't know that these bandits are so bold that they went to the imperial court to personally ennoble themselves and acted wildly on the head of the third-rank General Anyuan. To put it mildly, they were They have no eyes and are looking for death. To put it more seriously, they are ignoring the imperial court and despising King Wu Mu Dingbei. If they are let go, where will the face of General Anyuan who has experienced hundreds of battles be put, and where will the majesty of King Wu Mu be? If so, where should the imperial laws be placed?"

Lord Li was convinced that it was indeed the princess who had disguised her identity, kept everything simple, and made a plan to lure the bandits into taking the bait. But if the bandits didn't do it themselves, General Anyuan would have done it without any trace.

really!

Yu Youyao changed the subject: "General Anyuan immediately led his troops to attack the stronghold. Who knew that these bandits actually kept more than a hundred hostages in the stronghold. The bandits were in a deadlock. They patrolled the Xiuyan area until late at night. King Wu Mu, who was inspecting on the side, got the news and rushed over, re-formulated the plan to suppress the bandits, and secretly sent people to sneak into the stronghold to cooperate with outsiders. Only then did they rescue the hostages and successfully eliminate the bandits."

Master Li was even more frightened when he heard that the bandits were keeping so many hostages. He was glad again that he did not interfere: "I didn't expect that the situation in the mountain stronghold was so complicated. Even King Wu Mu was alarmed."

He did not doubt Princess Shaoyi's words that all the Youjun were elite, and no matter how powerful the bandits were, they could not compare to the Youjun. This argument was completely flawless.

Yu Youyao nodded: "The situation in the mountains is a bit complicated. In order to escape for their lives, some bandits set fire to the stronghold to create chaos. Currently, Military Advisor Huang is still verifying the number and identity of the bandits. The hostages also need to be verified, because they are not sure. Are there bandits among them, so these hostages are temporarily under the custody of Youjun."

Knowing that this group of bandits were not ordinary bandits, but people who had fled from Shanxi, Mr. Li was eager to leave them to Youjun, and this move was exactly what he wanted.

The two of them talked for a while and finally explained the situation in the mountain.

Mr. Li said goodbye to Princess Shaoyi and immediately went to the place where the hostages were placed, but was stopped by the guard You Jun: "His Royal Highness stated that before the identities of these hostages are verified, no one is allowed to approach them without His Highness's permission."

Mr. Li was even more chilled. He always felt that there must be unidentified bandits hiding among these hostages. It was impossible to verify for the time being. That's why King Wu Mu was so cautious and sent heavy troops to guard them and refused to allow anyone to get close.

There was even more fear in my heart.

At that moment, Mr. Li had no choice but to invite a soldier to lead the way, and led hundreds of government servants to the mountain.

The entire cottage was destroyed by the fire and was in a mess. The bowl-shaped cottage blocked the spread of the fire. Otherwise, the fire would spread to the mountain and the entire mountain would be burned down.

There were many corpses placed in the valley, some were killed by the Youjun, some were burned, and there were more than thirty people alive, with their hands and feet tied and kneeling on the ground.

Huang Wenwen was still interrogating the living bandits about the identities and crimes of other bandits in the village, while Yin Huaixi sat and watched.

Master Li hurriedly went to see King Wu Mu.

Yin Huaixi said quietly: "Suppressing bandits is also a matter for the government, and You Jun should not have intervened. But not long ago, the Queen Mother issued an edict that Princess Shaoyi must be protected. Bandits attacked Princess Luanjia. Only then did Youjun take action. The government should have taken action on all the subsequent matters. However, the origins of these bandits were unusual. They were related to bandits in the mountains of Shanxi. The relationship was very important. For the safety of the princess, , this matter should be investigated further, if there is anything that is too embarrassing, please forgive me, Mr. Li."

These words also gave him enough face. Mr. Li dared to take advantage of Qiao, and he quickly bowed down: "It turned out that the official was not able to manage the land well, so the bandits went rampant and attacked Princess Shaoyi. Your Highness does not blame him." , is extremely gracious, and now His Highness is helping the government to eliminate the banditry. This is the official’s good fortune and the blessing of the people. I am deeply grateful.”

Yin Huaixi nodded: "For the specific situation of the bandits and hostages, Mr. Li directly contacted Military Advisor Huang. If the government has any needs, Military Advisor Huang will definitely cooperate with them."

With these words, Mr. Li really put his heart into his stomach.

The bandits have been wiped out, and King Wu Mu will be responsible for all the rest. The next thing he needs to do is to interrogate the living bandits, interrogate the hostages, verify the hostages' identities, comfort the hostages, etc.

Mr. Li waited until Military Advisor Huang finished interrogating the bandits before looking for Military Advisor Huang.

Military Advisor Huang was very generous. Not only did he give him a list of bandits who had escaped in Shiwanli Mountain, as well as the crimes they had committed over the years, he also copied another copy of the case file for the bandits’ interrogation and the previous interrogation of the hostages. register.

These three volumes are ironclad evidence, and Mr. Li is convinced of this matter. With these three volumes, the case of suppressing the bandits can almost be closed.

However, we still need to go through a formality, bring some bandits over for interrogation, and the hostages also need to be interrogated.

Military Advisor Huang added: "There was a fire in the village, and many bandits were burned to death. There is no way to verify the identity of the bandits, and it is impossible to determine whether all the bandits have been wiped out, let alone whether any bandits have escaped. His Highness has already sent people to search the mountain, so we need to be more cautious when dealing with matters, for fear of risking death, please understand Mr. Li."

Mr. Li quickly said: "Master Huang's words are serious, and the subordinates are frightened."

The government servants brought by the government worked with Youjun to search the stronghold, move the corpses, and do some hands-on work. Mr. Li listened to his servants' report on the situation in the mountains, and found nothing unusual. The last trace of doubt in his heart also dissipated. .
