Chapter 324 Suppressing Bandits

Lieutenant Shen of Nanyang County was so daring that he sent someone to assassinate the princess.

The news soon spread in Nanyang County, and most people didn't believe what they heard.

When the officers and soldiers of the imperial court surrounded the yard of the county captain's house and escorted the whole family to Beijing, everyone realized that the news that the princess had arrived in Nanyang County was true.

It's just a golden princess. Why would she come to Nanyang County when she can't stay in a nice palace?

Could it be that this princess was born to the Queen Mother?

Coming to the Shen family in Nanyang County to visit relatives?

That’s not right, I haven’t heard that the Queen Mother gave birth to a girl back then.

Someone immediately retorted that the Queen Mother did not give birth to a girl when she was in Nanyang, so maybe she would have given birth when she went to the capital.

This seems to be correct!

Someone else asked, since the princess was born to the Queen Mother, why did County Lieutenant Shen kill the princess?

You must know that the Queen Mother is from the Shen family, and it is only because of the Queen Mother Shen that Shen Xianwei has been able to hold the position of County Wei from the previous dynasty to the present.

Who knows, anyway, Shen Xianwei is not a good person. The princess must have seen Shen Xianwei's character. Shen Xianwei was afraid that the news of his bad deeds would be leaked, so he had to kill the princess to prevent the news from leaking.

Some people also say that Lieutenant Shen was so lustful that he saw the princess as beautiful as a flower and wanted to take her into the palace as a concubine in the ninth room. However, he did not know that this beautiful girl was a princess who visited incognito.

It is also said that the emperor in Beijing found out about Wei Yurou Village in Shen County and sent a princess to pay a private visit incognito.

laugh.

While Zhou Yang was still struggling, Lu Sige had already spoken: "Since General Zhou has arrived in Nanyang, I won't care about the water bandits. Tomorrow, I will return to Jiangjiaba and live with my adoptive parents for a while."

She crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. You didn't need to look to know that General Zhou was injured this time.

If you take the water route, you can get there in about an hour with smooth wind and water. If you take the land route, you have to take a detour. There is no bridge in the middle and you have to take a boat. You will have to spend at least a day on the road.

Zhou Yang saw that Lu Xiangge did not listen to his words, and he had some idea in his mind. It seemed that Lu Xiangge did not know who led the water bandits on Hong Lake.

"Zhou Yang, aren't you a bandit suppresser? Why did you come to Nanyang?"

Originally, the direct branch of the Shen family had been severely damaged by the previous dynasty a few years ago. This time, because of the incident involving County Captain Shen, everyone in the side branch was also in danger. For a while, no one in the Shen family even dared to mention the title of Queen Mother.

"So fast?"

Lu Sheige smiled, raised his tea cup and took a sip.

When he arrived in Nanyang, he discovered that Lu Shenge had moved Lieutenant Shen, but seemed indifferent to the river bandits.

"Of course we will take the water route."

Zhou Yang responded tactfully: "Wei Chen has this intention, but the status of the princess is valuable. Why don't you stay in Nanyang for a few more days and wait for me to wipe out the water bandits before you go to Jiangjiaba?"

After Lu Xiangge finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "General Zhou, should you send a boat to take this princess off? Maybe we can meet the water bandits from Hong Lake."

However, to Lu Xiangge, he would naturally not say that he was injured, let alone complain.

He didn't even say that he was injured, but he still held on here.

"Aren't you afraid of embarrassing Queen Mother Shen by doing this?" Zhou Yang was sitting opposite Lu Xiangge, holding a cup of tea and savoring it carefully.

It's amazing, how amazing can it be, but can a group of more than a dozen water bandits be more powerful than the chief leader who suppressed bandits before Zhou Yang?

It is said that those several villages were originally independent of each other. Later, the owner of one of the villages took the lead and united these villages to advance and retreat together. Only then did we have today's three mountains and six villages. Otherwise, they would not have grown so much in recent years that even The imperial court was afraid of them.

Strange, the princess's adoptive father is a fisherman. Logically speaking, she should hate these water bandits deeply?

"Going to Jiangjiaba?"

He wanted to sell a favor to Lu Sheige, but he didn't know how to say it.

Lu Xiangge snorted coldly, "With General Zhou's ability, he is not afraid of the bandits from the three mountains and six villages, but will he be afraid of the dozen water bandits in Honghu Lake?"

With the fall of Lieutenant Shen, the group of people who usually followed Lieutenant Shen to pretend to be powerful also suffered great misfortune. Their homes were confiscated, and they were exiled.

Although he said this, Zhou Yang still couldn't control himself and secretly touched his waist and abdomen with his hands.

Zhou Yang was overjoyed and thought he had found an opportunity, "Shall the princess go to Jiangjiaba by water or by land?"

It is said that there are three mountains and six villages, but in fact, there are not even one mountain on top of it, but I don’t know how many hills there are.

"If these people don't arrest people in the countryside in the name of the Queen Mother, they will embarrass the Queen Mother." Lu Xiange looked at the man in front of him, "Besides, the person who killed County Captain Shen this time was the princess. Maybe, I This time I can still get it right, give the Queen Mother a good name, and win praise for her righteousness in killing relatives."

Could it be that the princess already knows who the leader of the water bandits is?

Zhou Yang was still calculating carefully when he heard Lu Sheige ask: "I heard that there are only a dozen or twenty gangsters in Honghu. Are these people worthy of General Zhou's action?"

"It's really not worth it originally." Zhou Yang looked up at Lu Xiangge and paused slightly, "However, I heard that the young man in the lead is very impressive."

"General Zhou, your character is supposed to be upright and upright. Why do I find that General Zhou's words are not grand at all?"

Zhou Yang put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "The suppression is over. I heard that there is banditry in Honghu Lake, so I stopped by to take a look."

Originally there was no need to ask this question. Few people would choose the land route from Nanyang to Jiangjiaba.

"They are just a group of ragtag people. They are said to be three mountains and six villages. The largest village only has a few hundred people, and the total number of people is less than a thousand. When the imperial court sends troops, they still don't run away."

"It makes sense." Zhou Yang raised his glass and said, "To the queen mother, to the princess."

Lu Sheige only thought that Zhou Yang's words were strange and didn't think much about it.

Zhe Xue couldn't help but snort in her heart. This young master from a wealthy family seemed to value face more than anything else.

To put it bluntly, is it too hasty?

To put it mildly, I'm afraid that the princess won't understand and something will happen to her when the time comes.

There are natural dangers in the mountains that are easy to defend but difficult to attack. If he hadn't been so skilled, he might have fallen into the hands of this gangster this time.

Since Zhou Yang rushed to Nanyang County injured, he was naturally afraid that Lu Xiangge would not know the situation and actually send troops to suppress the bandits.

Zhe Xue, who was standing behind Lu Sheige, was breathing slightly and seemed to be able to smell a faint smell of blood.

Zhou Yang's forehead jumped hard, and he knew he was wrong this time.

For Princess Changle, one should speak frankly to her instead of trying to hide things.

"General Zhou said that the leader of this group of water bandits is very capable. Let me guess, the person who makes General Zhou afraid is probably related to me, right? Let me guess, he is the one I grew up with. Neighbors? No, there are seven households in Xiaoxinzhuang. I know what each household does, and there is no chance of a gangster among them. Then they are my former relatives of the Lu family."

Lu Sheige looked at Zhou Yang with a cold look: "Is it Chen Xiaohu?"
