Daming Wuhou

Zhu Di didn't even look at the bandit.

After all, not everyone can talk to Prince Yan.

On the contrary, Lu Changting became interested in this person, so he said to Cheng Er, "Bring him here to have a look."

Cheng Er laughed: "What's so interesting about a bandit?" Having said that, he still walked over there.And Zhu Di also acquiesced to Cheng Er's move.

Seeing that someone was talking to him, the thief wished he could jump to Zhu Di immediately.

Cheng Er stretched out his hand to pick him up, and just slid it in front of Lu Changting and Zhu Di, "Say, what do you want to say!"

The thieves stared at Zhu Di with bright eyes, and shouted again: "My lord, the villain is not on the same side as them! The villain just saw how strong you guys are, so he purposely lured the thieves here... They This place has been a disaster for a long time, but no one has been able to subdue it. The villain finally waited for a few nobles, and then he boldly came up with this strategy! Please spare my life, I am willing to kill the bandits I will tell you everything about them one by one..."

Hearing this, Lu Changting couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly.This bandit was indeed different from others.But even though the bandit had already explained why he behaved so weirdly, Lu Changting still saw some sense of disobedience from him.

"Let him stand up and let me see." Lu Changting said out loud.

The bandit looked at Cheng Er, then at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked cold, and said in a deep voice, "Stand up."

The soldiers on both sides let go immediately, and the bandit had a chance to stand up straight.

Lu Changting's gaze swept across his face, and then he suddenly stopped: "Are you a woman?"

Cheng Er was startled and took two steps back: "Xiao Changting, what did you say?"

Zhu Di was extremely calm, but his gaze towards the bandit became colder.

The bandit grinned and said, "Exactly! This young man has good eyesight!"

Where is the vision needed?The faces of men and women are different. Although Lu Changting is not proficient in this way, he can distinguish men and women at a glance.

Lu Changting pursed his lips, and did not answer her words, but asked again, holding the initiative firmly in his hands: "Is there anything else you have to hide?"

The other party smiled awkwardly: "There is nothing to hide, that's all, that's all... villain, no, the little girl was snatched by those thieves, in order to save her life, she got in among them , pretending to be ugly all day long... But I didn't do anything wrong, but I tried my best to save those people who were targeted by them, really! If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check, just now they robbed Things, and I wanted to kill those robbed people, but I stopped..."

Just as she finished speaking, the person who went to clean up the mess came back.

"His Royal Highness, the remaining thieves and bandits have all been executed." The man frowned as he spoke, "No one from the family that was robbed was spared."

After hearing this, Lu Changting immediately looked at the female bandit.

The female thief suddenly jumped up and down as if she had been electrocuted: "I, I, I am not lying! Seriously...really... there should be people who survived, you...you go to search again...there are two children , yes, two children!"

"Children?" Cheng Er immediately turned his head and asked the soldiers: "Do you see the bodies of two children?"

The soldier shook his head: "That's not true."

It is human nature to protect women and children, Cheng Er heard this, and immediately led a few soldiers forward again, trying to find the whereabouts of the two children.

Halfway through, Cheng Er suddenly turned around and quickly called the female bandit: "You lead the way."

The female bandit nodded hurriedly, fearing that Lu Changting and others would kill her.

Wait for the female thief and Cheng Er and others to leave.

The remaining two thieves who were captured alive were already terrified, trembling all over, and wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't make a sentence.

Lu Changting couldn't help wrinkling his nose, why did he feel like he smelled a smell of urine?When he looked down, there was really a small stream under those two people.Two big men, as for?

Zhu Di immediately showed a disgusted expression, making them take them aside.

"Fourth brother, let's go and have a look." There are still many corpses lying around, and the smell of blood and urine is mixed together, which is really irritating to the eyes.

Zhu Di nodded, and helped Lu Changting get into the carriage together.The wheels turned again and moved forward.

Soon, the carriage stopped again, and then Lu Changting also heard the sound of a child crying, presumably not very old.Lu Changting quickly raised the car curtain and looked out.Unexpectedly, the first thing to look at is a mess, the carriage and luggage are tattered and crooked, and there are a few scattered people lying around, looking lifeless.

Lu Changting had already lost all consciousness on the battlefield, but when he saw him at this moment, he couldn't help feeling tense.

Lu Changting let out a shallow breath, and jumped out of the carriage first.

After a while, I saw Cheng Er leading a child out of the small dilapidated temple nearby, and the soldier beside him was holding another child in his arms, and it was the child wrapped in swaddling clothes that was crying out from his throat Voice.

Lu Changting first looked at the child Cheng Er was leading. The child was about eight years old, but the boy grew up late, so he didn't look very tall.That's all, when the child walked, the flesh on his face was round and trembling.Instead, Lu Changting suddenly thought of An Xi who was deep in his memory.Lu Changting's heart suddenly softened.

Look at him, he should have been extremely favored at home before, but he suffered such a misfortune...

Lu Changting took the initiative to step forward and asked him in a low voice, "What's your name?"

The other party stared blankly at Lu Changting, but refused to speak at all, as if he had been frightened stupid.

Looking at the pale face of the little fat man, Lu Changting thought of An Xi more and more.Lu Changting reached out and touched his shoulder, and seeing that the other party didn't resist, he changed from touching to caressing, and finally turned to patting.

Such skillful movements made the people on the side dumbfounded.

Cheng Er couldn't help but smiled: "Okay, okay, this kid is for you." Cheng Er looked at the little fat man, and said in a low voice, "You think of that kid from the An family, right?"

Lu Changting pursed his lips and nodded, but didn't say much.

Cheng Er simply let go of the little fat man, walked over to the other soldier, and picked up the crying child: "Hey, this little guy has pretty features..."

Zhu Di stood aside, not interested in the two children at all, and only whispered: "Check the corpse again to make sure there are no survivors."

"Yes!"

The soldiers dispersed again and searched for the corpses on the ground.

Zhu Di turned around and looked at the female bandit with cold eyes: "You still have something to say, so let's talk now."

The female bandit gritted her teeth and said, "Are you really King Yan? The fourth son of His Majesty the current Emperor?"

Zhu Di didn't speak, just looked at her coldly.

The female bandit felt chills all over her body, and hurriedly looked at Lu Changting.

Lu Changting glanced back at her inexplicably, does this person think he looks like a talkative person?That was a miscalculation!Lu Changting temporarily put down the fat man, turned around and walked to Zhu Di's side.

The female bandit's eyes lit up, as if she had rescued soldiers.

Zhu Di's face turned even colder.

Of course, Lu Changting would not give her any good looks at this moment, and immediately turned cold, and said, "Since they snatched you back, why did you go out with them to rob and kill?"

Looking into Lu Changting's eyes, the female thief couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly said, "I, I was trying to protect myself, so I, I pretended to give them some advice, so that they can manage better. They don’t have much knowledge, so they depend on me so much, so I’m like a military adviser... But when I give them advice, I never have any bad ideas! I have limited strength alone, and I can’t escape. Going out, I can only try my best to improve what I can improve..."

After the female bandit finished speaking, seeing that Lu Changting and Zhu Di were still indifferent, she gritted her teeth and said, "In just such a short period of time, I also learned a big secret!"

"Secret? About those thieves?" Lu Changting became interested.

"Exactly! After several days by their side, I also vaguely know that they didn't become bandits voluntarily, but they took money and food from others, and they became bandits here just now under the instigation of others! But other... I really don’t know. It’s important to think about it, and they don’t often mention it in front of me. I would know this, and it’s because they slipped up in a momentary dispute.”

Lu Changting also felt strange.

This land is not a poor place, how could there be bandits?

These thieves and bandits seemed to be uneducated people, most of them should be from the countryside, or from local hooligans.But no matter how uneducated they are, they should know what it means to be a bandit.This was the Hongwu period, when the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, with simple folk customs and sufficient food and clothing.How could they be willing to be thieves?Since ancient times, if the dynasty was not extremely corrupt, the people were in dire straits, and the people were starved of food, there would be many bandits, but it was rare at other times!After all, the price of being a thief is really too high!

Lu Changting's another doubt was resolved in this woman's mouth.

Zhu Di also became interested: "Is someone instigating? Apart from letting them become thieves, what else is instigated?"

"There should be nothing else, of course, maybe I didn't hear it. I think there should be nothing, because since two months ago, they have been so impatient, they took off the thief's clothes when they wanted to rob one last time, and went back Some of them disagreed. This caused them to quarrel, let me hear it clearly."

"Aren't they afraid of the people who ordered them to see them leave and come to settle accounts with them?"

The female thief whispered: "From their description, the person behind him should not have appeared for a long time."

Lu Changting suddenly felt funny in his heart.

The person behind it is definitely not smart!

There are too many prerequisites for a person to become a grassroots bandit and be willing to work hard all the time... Obviously, that person can buy a group of gangsters with only a sum of money, but he doesn't want to think about it, without those prerequisites... Conditions, how long can these thieves persist?

Also, what is this man's plan?What do you want to do by playing such a hand?Bad for the government?Or is it not good for Daming?

It's no wonder that Lu Changting thinks too much, it's really the recent incident of the White Lotus Sect that made him think more.

The author has something to say:

This female bandit is a lovely girl!
