"Mr. Mu, your topic is too big for me to get involved in. Let's continue talking about Qu Damu. Should we arrest him and let him testify against the two county magistrates and dig out those two moths?
?”
Shen Lang only promised to help relay Qu Damu and Ge Qingyun's appeals, but he never promised to intercede for them.
So when he asked Mu Qingyun if he wanted to arrest Qu Damu, he felt no pressure.
"it's useless."
Mu Qingxue shook her head expressionlessly:
"Qu Damu is a pirate. He accuses the government of being a thief. His testimony is unconvincing and the court will not believe it. Unless there is irrefutable evidence... It's a pity that last year's eucalyptus was so long ago that even if there was evidence, it would have been destroyed by those two moths."
Destroyed.”
"Then let them get away with it?"
Mu Qingxue snorted coldly:
"Of course we won't let them go unpunished. The root of 'Fire Dragon Burning Cang' is difficult to find, but we can start from other clues. I don't believe that those two borers will turn into upright officials after being transferred to poor counties in the mainland. I will
Write a letter to Shen Cat Hall and ask your colleagues to check them carefully..."
Shen Lang nodded and asked again:
"Do you still want to catch Qu Damu?"
Mu Qingxue said in a deep voice:
"Catch! But if Qu Damu is willing to surrender, he can give them a chance to make atonement.
"After all, we have too few people. In addition to six to seven thousand young and strong pirates on Shark King Island, there are tens of thousands of old, weak, women and children.
"I can't go on a killing spree and kill all the pirates. If I only capture and kill the pirate leader, the remaining thousands of pirates will not be restrained by the leader, but they may cause a big mess, and the island will be afraid.
It means blood will flow like a river...
"So I need some pirates to help me deter the young pirates and maintain order on the island.
"Under your instigation, the people of the Feiyu are rebelling against Sha Wanli, fighting against the Nanhai faction, capturing Jin Yiming, and killing the ghost Wang Dong. Their position is trustworthy and they can be counted among them. Qu Damu has no blood debt. If he is willing to surrender, he can do it.
Count him in."
Shen Lang bowed his hands and said:
"Most of the old and weak people on the island are pirates. People in Mu are willing to pity and cherish their lives. They are really compassionate."
Mu Qingxue shook her head and sighed:
"The vast majority of pirates are just miserable people who can't survive on land.
"As the saying goes, the officials force the people to rebel. What the people want is nothing more than God's mercy, good weather, no serious illness, and just getting along with their lives. If all the officials in the world were honest, and all the distinguished nobles and nobles were compassionate to the people, they would be satisfied.
The world is governed without picking up relics, there are no unjust prisons, and the rivers and seas are clean, how can any good citizen be willing to become a bandit?
"Master Yan once said that the number of mountain bandits, river pirates and sea bandits is not decided by the common people, but by the officials, gentry, nobles and wealthy families. To put it to the extreme, every bandit, bandit, refugee and beggar in the world is determined.
...can be regarded as a witness that corrupt officials are corrupt and incompetent, and that nobles and powerful men abuse the law and harm the people!
"Either the victim was forced to die, or the official failed to act and allowed himself to get rich. What's more serious, he was simply a black glove who was ordered by the powerful to work for the powerful!"
Shen Langxin was right, Yan Tianying's Dachu pills were successfully sold, at least Mu Qingxue seemed to have taken them!
After coughing twice, Shen Lang decided to use this topic to talk about something serious:
"Mr. Mu, I have a grievance to report."
"Grudges?" Mu Qingxue glanced at Shen Lang in surprise: "What grievances do you have?"
Shen Lang said seriously:
"It's not that my subordinates are wronged, but Sister Yu...it's the owner of Feiyu, Chen Yuniang, who is wronged. Her family..."
He explained the old grievances of the Chen family from beginning to end, and then said:
"More than twenty years have passed since this incident. The victims of the Chen family who were lucky enough not to be killed, but were put into the mines and Jiaofang Division, I am afraid that none of them can be found now.
"Even Chen Yuniang only heard about it from her father and has not experienced it personally. But I believe she will not lie to me, and I hope you can help the Chen family clear their wrongs and avenge them.
"I know that for an old injustice that happened more than 20 years ago, not only can no physical evidence be found, but also personal witnesses are difficult to find, and it is extremely difficult to investigate. Please forgive me for embarrassing you."
Mu Qingxue was silent for a while and sighed:
"I just said what Mr. Yan said, and in the blink of an eye, a witness came here who was an official and remnant of the people. This is really..."
She shook her head and said seriously:
"This matter is not difficult. The governor who served as the naval commander of Yingzhou more than 20 years ago can easily find out.
"Don't worry, after I go back and deal with the scandal in the Yingguo Palace, I will definitely get to the bottom of this case, bring the corrupt officials who framed and persecuted the Chen family to justice, and restore the Chen family's innocence."
Shen Lang solemnly raised his hands and bowed deeply:
"Mr. Mu understands righteousness deeply, and I admire you greatly. On this occasion, Madam Jade, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"
Mu Qingxue hummed noncommittally, and looked at Shen Lang up and down for a while, with subtle eyes:
"Speaking of which, you can instigate that beautiful lady to fight for you...don't you use some kind of beauty trick on her?"
Shen Lang immediately complained:
"What's the matter? I was..."
Just as he said this, he suddenly thought that being robbed of his bride was not a glorious deed worthy of bragging for a man like him. He quickly swallowed his words and coughed twice:
"Ahem, in short, the main reason is that Lady Jade is well-educated and able to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. She taught me about righteousness, and only then did she know how to return from the lost path..."
After that, he quickly changed the topic:
"By the way, Mr. Mu, I heard Ge Qingyun say that the Dragon King of the Seven Seas wants to establish a country on Suiye Island in Nanyang. What's going on? Isn't the Dragon King of the Seven Seas the great master of the East? Why did he go to Nanyang to establish a country?"
As expected, Mu Qingxue did not ask any more about the private matters between men and women. She was silent for a while and said slowly:
"The Dragon King of the Seven Seas, originally known as the 'Dragon King of the Vast Sea', was born into a family of a small officer in the northwest frontier army. He was a natural prodigy in martial arts. At the age of thirty, he was promoted to a rank in the desert of the vast sea in the northwest.
"When he was promoted, he stirred up the heavenly phenomena, with tornadoes rising in the desert, and sandstorms like tsunamis, so he was named the 'Dragon King of the Vast Sea'.
"Then the Dragon King guarded the northwest for twenty-five years, slaying demons in the desert, and repeatedly defeated religious bandits in the Western Regions and barbarians in the Northern Desert. However, he did not want to receive official positions from the imperial court, and only protected the territory and the people as a civilian warrior.
"Until eleven years ago, the northwest was suddenly hit by a once-in-a-century drought. Rivers were cut off and wells were dry, vegetation was dead, and the fields were harvestless. The imperial court allocated a huge amount of silver and grain for disaster relief. The Dragon King of the Seven Seas, who was fifty-five years old at the time,
Suddenly, something shocking happened.
"In three days and three nights, he traveled through thirteen counties in two prefectures and counties in the northwest, killing half of the officials in those two prefectures and thirteen counties. He also killed many grain merchants who were hoarding food, and coerced the remaining officials and gentry to open fire.
Store grain in warehouses, provide relief to victims, organize reconstruction...
"Master Yan had only been promoted to the first rank for a year at that time, and his realm had just stabilized. However, after receiving the news, he still volunteered and rushed to the northwest alone to capture the Dragon King of the Seven Seas. After a great battle, the Dragon King of the Seven Seas escaped overseas, and Master Yan also
Suffered some minor injuries...
"Later, Mr. Yan, by investigating the reasons why the Dragon King of the Seven Seas killed officials, took advantage of the situation to investigate and investigate those who embezzled money and food for disaster relief, usurped the land of the victims, and trafficked people. He also seized a group of corrupt officials and local tyrants who the Dragon King of the Seven Seas had no time to kill.
"The Dragon King of the Seven Seas occupied Suiye Island in the South Ocean and changed his name to the Dragon King of the Seven Seas."
"..."
Shen Lang blinked:
"This... Mr. Yan and the Seven Seas Dragon King seem to have a tacit understanding..."
As he spoke, he felt a sense of longing and yearning for the feats of the Dragon King of the Seven Seas.
Draw your sword in anger and cut off all the injustice, this is what a man should do!
"Don't say this nonsense, Master Yan won't recognize it if you say it."
Mu Qingxue also winked playfully, put on a pretty face, and said seriously:
"The Dragon King of the Seven Seas indiscriminately kills officials and gentry, which is tantamount to rebellion. He can't stay in Chu anymore. As for why he wants to establish a country overseas, I don't know.
"Okay, that's the end of the digression, it's time to take action."
Shen Lang said: "Please tell me how to act specifically."
Mu Qing pondered for a while:
"You stay to take care of the prisoners, and ask Chen Yuniang to take me to capture the pirate leader."
Shen Lang said in his heart that Madam Jade hates the Chu court and asked her to go with you. She was afraid of getting into trouble, so he immediately volunteered:
"Why don't you leave Lady Jade to guard the prisoners, and I will lead you to arrest the leaders of the thieves. I have been gathering information on King Shark Island these days, and I have actually met a lot of famous pirate leaders. And Lady Jade has great martial arts skills, so she can guard the prisoners."
The prisoner is more reliable than me."
Mu Qingxue left him to guard the prisoners, so of course she trusted him more.
But seeing that Shen Lang trusted Chen Yuniang so much, and thinking that Chen Yuniang had taken the lead in disrupting the "Heroes Conference" with Sha Wanli, the Nanhai Sect, and Gui Wangdong, and had made great achievements, and had a close relationship with Shen Lang, he did not deny his proposal.
Nodding and saying:
"Okay, let's follow this arrangement."
"Thank you for your trust, sir. I will go and tell Madam Jade."
Shen Lang opened the door to the secret room and saw Chen Yuniang sitting in the corridor with her eyes closed and breathing.
Luo Er and Niu Si stood by her side, protecting her and guarding the prisoners.
Shen Lang knew that the breathing and breathing method at the seventh level was not as strict as cultivating internal strength and could be interrupted at any time, so he called out softly at the moment:
"Sister Yu, Sister Yu..."
Sure enough, Chen Yuniang immediately stopped talking, opened her eyes, and first took a look into the secret room with the door open. Then she looked at Shen Lang with bright eyes and asked:
"Is something wrong?"
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Muda is ready to take action. Next, I would like to invite Sister Yu, Brother Luo, and Brother Niu to guard the prisoners here. I will take Muda to capture the pirate leader."
Chen Yuniang said:
"Only capture people from the King Shark Gang?"
"More than that. All the pirate leaders on the island, whether they are from the Shark King Gang or not, must be arrested first. However, Muda is willing to give the leaders with better reputations a chance to make atonement. As long as they are willing to be captured and help her suppress the Shark King Gang thieves,
To maintain order on King Shark Island and avoid chaos on the island, I won’t punish them for their crimes this time.”
Chen Yuniang nodded:
"You all know the single gang shopkeepers who are close to me at Feiyu. As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, but all the shopkeepers I am willing to deal with have a decent reputation and are not cruel and murderous people. Just give them a look.
Chance."
Shen Lang: "Sister Yu, don't worry, as long as they are willing to cooperate, I will ask the Mu people to give them a chance."
Chen Niangyu nodded and winked at Luo Er:
"Luo Er, you follow my uncle and the Muda man and help them lead the way and identify the people."
Luo Er understood the idea and smiled:
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I will take good care of my uncle."
Shen Lang: "?"
