Murong Xue's eyes were dim, and she thought carefully about the robe Fu Yi was wearing...it was silk brocade, the jade pendant on her waist...was top grade ice, the yard he rented...exquisite and precious, and the decorations in the yard...was expensive...
Fu Yi's current wealth is more than two or three thousand taels...
Murong Xue's dignified face made the palace steward's complexion also dignified: "The Imperial Concubine is suspicious of Fu Yi..."
Murong Xue didn't say anything, it was her tacit agreement.
The steward of the Wang's residence stared deeply: "The humble officer will send someone to investigate immediately."
"Okay." Murong Xue nodded. Fu Yi's wealth is a bit unreasonable. It's better to find out. After all, Fu Yi has a close relationship with Wang En, and Wang En has a relationship with the black-clothed assassin who plotted against her and Shaochen. Closely, Fu Yi's money, which exceeds his salary, is worth noting...
If the money is really the best way for Fu Yi to make money, if not... hehe...
A cold and dark light flashed in Murong Xue's cold and beautiful eyes.
Maid, the mothers suddenly felt that the temperature around them had dropped. On a sunny day, they shivered from the cold and lowered their heads, not daring to say more.
The bright sun was shining warmly, Murong Xue came back to her senses, put aside the matter of Fu Yi's wealth, looked around, but did not see the person she wanted to see, she couldn't help asking: "Housekeeper, where is Shaochen?"
When Wang Shanshan called at the door just now, the housekeeper said that Shaochen was not at home. She thought the housekeeper was trying to put Wang Shanshan in a perfunctory way, but now, after she has been back for so long, Shaochen is still missing. It can be seen that Shaochen is really not in the house.
Last night, Shaochen obviously went home before her, so why wasn't he at home
"Back to the concubine, the son has gone to court." The housekeeper said in a deep voice.
"Going to court?" Murong Xue's eyes widened in surprise: Shaochen was not interested in court affairs, no matter whether it was before traveling or after returning from traveling, he had never gone to court, why did he suddenly go to court...
"Returning to the concubine, the emperor summoned the son to court..." the housekeeper said in a low voice.
"Oh!" The emperor called urgently, that Shaochen had to go to court, but: "Do you know what the emperor called him for?" Murong Xue looked at the housekeeper and asked in a deep voice.
The steward said: "Returning to the concubine, it seems that they are discussing the matter of exterminating the pirates in Yunzhou..."
This time the officials came to Beijing to report on their duties, and they reported a big problem, that is, Yunzhou and the neighboring prefectures were seriously affected by banditry. Return those states to a clear sky, and the banditry there must be cleared as soon as possible.
There are two kinds of banditry, one is the robbers on land, and the other is the pirates and robbers on the sea. The robbers on land are fierce and powerful, killing people like hemp, and the robbers' cottages are also very secretive, very bad Catch, but it's not difficult for the soldiers in the barracks. The soldiers are all well-trained, and their martial arts are acceptable. A general with thousands of soldiers, sweeping over hills one by one, will definitely take away their cottages , Capture all the robbers and robbers.
Bandits and robbers on land are completely vulnerable to powerful soldiers, and there will be no problems in suppressing bandits.
Pirates and robbers shuttled and robbed the sea on pirate ships, coming and going without a trace. Whenever they robbed a merchant ship, they would kill all the people on the merchant ship, and rob all the money and goods on the merchant ship, leaving only one A merchant ship riddled with holes and blood stained on the ground was given to the government to let the government know that the merchant ship had been robbed.
To this day, the government and people in Yunzhou and other places only know that there are pirates in the sea, but they don’t know what the pirates look like, let alone who they are, where they come from, and even talk about the pirate dens where the pirates hide. , it is a bit difficult to catch them and eradicate their pirate dens...
Therefore, what the emperor summoned his son to discuss should be the issue of pirates and robbers at sea.
Murong Xue's eyes were dark: "Shaochen should have a way to catch them..."
"Yes." The housekeeper nodded: The pirates reported by the officials are highly skilled, well-trained, and cunning, making them hard to guard against. The government has searched them for several years, but found no clues. They will be handed over to the crown prince. There is no need to worry about anything, Shizi will definitely come up with the best way to destroy those pirates in the shortest time...
Murong Xue looked at the sun rising high in the eastern sky, um, morning time has passed, and Shaochen hasn't come back yet, it seems that she is still discussing the way to eliminate the pirates, so she won't wait for him, go eat something first stuff, get some sleep...
She was busy all night last night, and her eyes were so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open...
Murong Xue rubbed her eyes, and was about to turn around and walk towards the bedroom, but a familiar call sounded from behind: "Sister."
Murong Xue turned around, and saw Murong Ye flying over from a distance, her black jade-like pupils were shining brightly, and her youthful face was so handsome that even the scorching sun in the sky paled.
"Why are you here? Is there any movement at Wang En's place?" Murong Xue looked at Murong Ye with wide eyes.
"No." Murong Ye shook his head, landed lightly in front of Murong Xue, and raised his voice, "I'm here to report to you about Fu Yi's suppression of bandits that you asked me to investigate..."
Murong Xue's eyes froze: "The investigation is over so soon?" Fu Yi was suppressing bandits in Dongshi County, and Dongshi County is far away from the capital. She thought it would take at least ten and a half months for Murong Ye to finish the investigation. The investigation was clear. Unexpectedly, it took only a few days for the investigation to be completed.
"Your brother is smart." Murong Ye patted his chest with a proud look.
Murong Xue: "... What did you find out?"
"I found a lot." Murong Ye said leisurely, walked to the stone table not far away, picked up a cup of tea poured by the servant girl and drank it down in one gulp, the sweet tea fragrance filled his mouth, Murong Ye sighed comfortably With a single voice, he recounted what he had investigated: "The cottage that Fu Yi wiped out was indeed a robbery cottage. The chief of the cottage was named Zhen, and his name was Zhen Chun. The second leader of the cottage was Zhen Chun's second brother... The three chiefs of the Shanzhai are Zhen Chun's third brothers... The four chiefs of the Shanzhai are Zhen Chun's fourth brothers... The five chiefs of the Shanzhai are Zhen Chun's fifth brothers... Zhen Chun's father is Zhen Chun's deputy, Zhen Chun's second Uncle is the second chief's deputy... Zhen Chun's third uncle is the third chief's deputy... Zhen Chun's fourth uncle is..."
"Wait, wait..." Murong Xue interrupted Murong Ye with a wave of her hand, looked at him and said, "How do you say that they all have the surname Zhen?"
"Because the high-level people in the robber's cottage are all surnamed Zhen, and they are all relatives of Zhen Chun..." Murong Ye's eyes were full of innocence.
Murong Xue: "...that robber's cottage, is it a family cottage?"
"En." Murong Ye nodded. According to the information he investigated, that cottage was a family-run cottage, and the heads of robbers with some status in the cottage were all surnamed Zhen.
Murong Xue: "...this is really strange."
