Manchu traitor, I really don't want to be emperor

Chapter 143 Collusion between officials and bandits?

In an instant.

The people in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay, still not knowing how to answer.

Zhang Miao, Zhuge Jin, and all the officials of Gusu City also look at me, and I look at you.

I don't know how to answer.

After all, Huang Hao did it all by himself at this time, and it has nothing to do with them.

Seeing this, Liu Ye also had an answer in his heart, so he simply got up and was about to walk out of the lobby.

"Where is your Highness going?"

Zhang Miao got up and chased him out, asking tentatively.

But Liu Ye in front didn't seem to have the intention to stop, and said without turning his head.

"All the officials of Gusu City have contributed to the prevention and control of the disaster. After a while, after checking the accounting books, they will be rewarded!"

Originally, the first half of the sentence made Zhang Miao and the others a little happy.

But when they heard the following words, everyone's hearts were already cold.

They are also well aware of the situation in Gusu City. I am afraid that if they do not dismiss their posts at that time, they will already be treated leniently!
When the officials in the hall were downcast, Liu Ye continued to speak lightly.

"Zhuge Jin, follow me to investigate the local banditry situation!"

At this time.

Zhuge Jin was a little overjoyed, he didn't expect that His Highness was seeing him for the first time.

Just because of a few words, there is a sense of appreciation for myself.

Now let him personally follow him on inspections!
When the officials in the hall heard it, they also looked at Zhuge Jin in surprise.

There was a burst of indignation in everyone's hearts. If I had known that I had stood up just now, I would hate Qian Qianyi! !

They also speculated about His Highness Six's intentions.

I'm afraid that the important Zhuge Jin is going to be promoted? ! !

"Yes, Your Highness!"

in the afternoon.

Zhuge Jin followed Liu Ye out of the city, and was cautious all the way.

I'm afraid something will go wrong!
It's not that I'm afraid that the black hat will be lost.

But he had heard about Liu Ye's personality a long time ago, and wanted to show it well.

On the road.

Liu Ye asked casually.

"Ziyu, why didn't Wei Yan go to Hecheng with Huang Hao this time?"

When Liu Ye asked about Wei Yan, Zhuge Jin smiled gently.

"Return to Your Highness, Wei Yan has been demoted because he contradicted Huang Hao some time ago!"

Liu Ye smiled after hearing this, recalling Wei Yan's cautious performance in the lobby.

Now also understand!
No wonder he didn't have the strong aura he had before!

It turned out that Huang Hao suppressed and excluded~
Afterwards, Liu Ye continued to ask.

"Ziyu, how is the current situation of banditry in Zijin Prefecture?"

Zhuge Jin felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

After all, Governor Huang Hao has always been indifferent to this, and he has not sent troops to attack the bandits in the south for a long time!

"The bandits in Zijin Prefecture occupy the mountains as kings and run rampant. They often loot nearby villages and towns and massacre villagers."

Before coming here, Liu Ye had heard that local bandits were rampant, so he was not too surprised by this.

"Then why don't you go to suppress the bandits?"

Hearing Liu Ye's question, Zhuge Jin hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind.

suddenly.

Zhuge Jin knelt on the ground, his face was full of pain, and he replied sincerely.

"Inspector Huang Hao supports his own self-respect and doesn't care about the life and death of the people.

The prefects and county magistrates in various places in Zijin Prefecture have no troops to transfer, and they have also organized government soldiers to suppress bandits.

But due to the great disparity in strength, it all went to nothing in the end! "

At this time, Liu Ye pulled Zhuge Jin up after hearing this.

He patted Zhuge Jin's shoulder lightly, and said with a look of sudden realization.

"That's how it is~
Ziyu don't need to worry too much, you just lead the way, this time I will personally sit in the town and wipe out the bandits! "

Seeing Liu Ye's appearance as a commoner, Zhuge Jin was moved in his heart.

The sixth prince is really as rumored!
It is really the light of my man!
Zhuge Jin seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and asked hesitantly.

"May I ask how many soldiers and horses your Highness has brought this time?"

"four thousand!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhuge Jin rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought, looking at Liu Ye who hesitated to speak.

Seeing his hesitation, Liu Ye comforted him.

"It's okay for Tzuyu to speak up!"

With Liu Ye's affirmation, Zhuge Jin spoke worriedly.

"Your Highness does not know that there are several bandit villages outside Gusu City, although there are not many bandits in each village.

However, several cottages colluded with each other, if His Highness went to encircle and suppress rashly, they would definitely collude together.

I'm afraid we'll be at a disadvantage then! "

After learning about the local banditry situation, Liu Ye asked casually.

"How many of them are there altogether?"

"There are more than [-] bandit villages in Zijin Prefecture, big and small!"

More than 3 people?

Where the hell is this bandit? !
It's almost time to catch up with the regular army! ! !

There are more than seven times more soldiers and horses than his men!
Liu Ye couldn't help being in trouble for a while, but he didn't think it was impossible to fight!
However, the banditry in the south of the Yangtze River did not happen overnight.

During the years of Huang Hao's rule.

Countless local people have no livelihood, and they fall into bandits. In addition, the Jiangnan area is mountainous and complicated, and the banditry is even more serious.

Plus this year's floods and plagues!
Today, there are tens of thousands of bandits entrenched in the mountains, and they operate independently and are very rampant.

On the one hand, the people have to bear the exploitation of the government, and on the other hand, they have to be robbed by the bandits, and they are in great pain.

The good news is.

In several cottages nearer to Gusu City, there were only more than 1 bandits in total.

It's not unbreakable either!

"Then gather all the soldiers and horses in the city tonight, and join me in suppressing the bandits tomorrow morning!"

Just after Liu Ye gave the order, Zhuge Jin spoke again with a worried face.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the people in the city can no longer use it!"

Liu Ye was taken aback for a moment, and asked casually, "Why?"

"Now many people in the government have been bought with a lot of money, and they have already acted as internal agents for these bandits!"

At this time, Liu Ye sneered and waved his hands.

"It's okay, just do it!"

Seeing Liu Ye's determined look, Zhuge Jin knew that he would not be persuaded, so she bowed her hands and retreated.

"As you order, Your Highness!"

After Zhuge Jin left, Liu Ye whistled.

shhh-

At this time, Guo Jia floated down from not far away, and respectfully saluted Liu Ye.

"Lord."

Liu Ye stood with his hands behind his back, a playful smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered calmly.

"Quickly gather all the bad guys and ask them to send people to guard every exit of Gusu City.

Any suspicious person coming in or out should be arrested immediately and brought to see me tomorrow morning! "

"Yes, my lord!"

"Order the three armies to station outside the city, waiting for orders!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After Liu Ye turned around and gave Wei Qing the order, he left the spot with a smile on his face.

A pair of confident appearance!

Now that you know there is an internal response, it's easy~
The rest is just sitting on the sidelines and waiting for the traitor to show his flaws!

The next morning.

Zhuge Jin and Wei Yan led less than a thousand people from Gusu City to join Liu Ye outside the city.

Looking at the sporadic soldiers and horses, there was no worry on Liu Ye's face.

Liu Ye was not surprised by Wei Yan's arrival.

Many of these sergeants are Wei Yan's headquarters, and Zhuge Jin naturally has no right to directly mobilize them!
Accompanying the army were a group of officials from Gusu City.

Everyone gathered in front of the city to see Liu Ye off for suppressing the bandits!
