Chapter 584: It's not a good time
After Zhuang Mingyue listened to Ah Yu's report, her brows furrowed, and she rubbed the teacup in her hand, Long Zhengning should have made a new move. Guozhang is vicious, and I don't know what bad idea he gave Long Zhengning.
Before things started, she wanted to take the first step to sabotage Long Zhengning's plan, so that Long Zhengning would have no time to take care of anything else.
"Caiyun Caixia, you should go to Gaojiazhai quickly and discuss with them about hijacking the convoy of rich merchants on the official road." After Caiyun Caixia listened to the order, she found a fast horse in the capital and ran all the way out of the city.
After arriving at Gaojiazhai, Caiyun Caixia explained her intention, and the two bandits guarding the gate of the village saw that it was Zhuang Mingyue's personal maid and hurriedly welcomed them in.
Gaojiazhai is full of watchtowers, there are bandits patrolling back and forth, the world is getting more and more difficult, and there are more and more people who fall into the grass.
Every day, new people come to the village, and they also need a lot of money to survive, so robbing the rich and helping the poor has become the most important way.
Gao Zhuang heard that the younger brother said that two women came to discuss the matter, and thought that it might be Zhuang Mingyue's person, so he quickly came out to greet him.
After the three of them entered the house, several bandits immediately brought tea, and Gao Zhuang said: "Caiyun Caixia, you have also been running all the way, let's drink saliva."
Caiyun took a big sip of tea, and then said: "Long Zhengning, that villain doesn't know what he's calculating recently, my young lady wants you to kidnap a rich businessman in the official road, so that he can't spare time to plan."
After hearing this, Gao Zhuang slammed the table fiercely, spat on the ground, and said indignantly: "These rich and noble families are really full of food and support every day, and so many things have happened."
Caixia continued: "Senior brother, only you can help us with this."
Gao Zhuang threw the wine glass on the table, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I have helped with this favor, and these powerful people should also be punished."
Caiyun Caixia settled in Gaojiazhai, and they had to act together to chase and intercept these rich businessmen in the past few days. Gao Zhuang also discussed with them the specific action matters: "We will send people to ambush them on the road where we have just become officials, and after snatching all their goods, we will escape from this road."
Gao Zhuang pointed to a map of the area, detailing the road conditions and escape routes.
This area is mostly official roads, and there are many merchants who come and go every day, and it will be very troublesome if there is chaos.
According to the spies in the stockade, Long Zhengning had not come to inspect in person for five days, and the guards couldn't help but be a little slack, and this was a good time for them to do it. After Gao Zhuang deployed, he sent someone to take out the weapon from the warehouse, and after everything was ready, the group waited for tomorrow's action.
The next morning, the sky was dim and dark, the morning star in the distance was still hanging in the sky, and the rooster on the side of the road kept crowing. Caixia Caiyun and Gao Zhuang each brought some people to ambush on the road, and before Gao Zhuang left, his voice was very low and said: "Caiyun Caixia, you pay attention to safety, we will meet in the village."
Caiyun Caixia gestured and ran all the way to the pre-planned place, and they lay motionless in the grass on the side of the road, looking at the slightly depressed road in front of them, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
The sky gradually became clearer, and shouts kept coming from afar, and everyone was holding their breath at this time, watching the convoy coming and going, ready to wait for an opportunity to move.
"Come on, brothers, rush, let the people live a little better." With a loud shout from Gao Zhuang, hundreds
A bandit rushed out of the grass, and the caravan on the official road was already in disarray, and the horsemen were fleeing for their lives. The bandits shouted and quickly looted the caravan with its caravan.
In the blink of an eye, the bandits were gone.
Caiyun Caixia led the bandits to the temporary underground warehouse, and soon everyone converged in the dark tunnel.
After Gao Zhuang saw the dense goods on the ground, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I think that back then, I couldn't even eat, and I was hungry and full every day, and these people's lives were really good."
Caiyun Caixia is also a little embarrassed, sometimes it is really unfair between people.
The hundreds of bandits who had brought in all of them had their eyes shining when they saw the goods, and one of the bandits stammered: "Boss, are these enough for the people for a year?"
Gao Zhuang nodded frequently, and said with a hearty smile: "After these money are exchanged, all of them will be donated to the people, and we will continue to block them tomorrow until they are afraid of causing a commotion, hahaha."
Caiyun Caixia and the bandits of Gaojiazhai robbed several times on the official road, and for a while, the people were panicked, and Caiyun Caixia said goodbye to Gaozhuang and went back to Zhuang Mingyue after seeing the expected effect.
At this time, no one dared to walk on the official road, and every caravan passing from here was robbed by bandits, and every day the caravan passed through the capital, and the capital was in chaos.
After Long Zhengning heard the report from the Fuzhong family, he found that he had not gone to check in person for many days, and he was caught off guard by these bandits, so he had to temporarily put down the affairs in his hand.
Long Zhengning reorganized the military defense, strengthened defense, and immediately arrested the bandits, but the effect was not satisfactory, and the bandit robbery spread in the entire capital, and the uproar was uproar.
Every day, merchants came to Long Zhengning's mansion to denounce them, begging for their losses. Long Zhengning was forced to be helpless, dealing with these things every day, but the public opinion in the capital couldn't suppress it.
There are even rumors that bandits rob to rob the rich and help the poor, not for their own selfishness. Those who benefited also began to gather to throw vegetable leaves in front of Long Zhengning's mansion to seek justice for the bandits.
Above the court, Emperor Tiansheng has received many important ministers in the court, and he asked what happened in the court this day.
The official Shangshu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the capital area managed by His Highness has been in chaos recently, and there are bandits robbing there every day, and the capital is in chaos, how can this be good," Emperor Tiansheng was furious when he heard this, and threw the song to the ground.
The ministers immediately knelt on the ground, and the court was silent for a while. Emperor Tiansheng's breath of anger didn't come up for a long time.
After waving his hand back, he coughed, and said in a hoarse voice: "Rong Zhen think about it, retreat from the court."
The ministers said in unison: "Your Majesty pay attention to the dragon's body, long live long live" and then retired, and no one wanted to touch the dragon's whiskers.
Liufu stepped forward to pick up Emperor Tiansheng on the side, gently patted him on the back to give him relief, and said, "Your Majesty, you must pay attention to your body."
Emperor Tiansheng understood that his health was not good, he thought of Zhuang Mingyue, who was smart and witty, and wanted her to try to solve it, so he sent Liufu to invite Zhuang Mingyue and threw this matter to her to deal with.
Zhuang Mingyue quickly came to the palace after being summoned. After Zhuang Mingyue knelt down and saluted, Emperor Tiansheng motioned for her to sit down and said, "Mingyue, I guess you have also heard about the bandits in the capital recently, I."
I entrust this matter to you, and I will appoint you as the patrol of the capital and lead the patrol battalion. ”
Zhuang Mingyue was slightly surprised in her heart, she didn't say anything, and knelt down to receive the order.
Emperor Tiansheng was unwell, Zhuang Mingyue did not stay long, and soon retired.
When he returned to the mansion and told him about it, Caiyun Caixia was overjoyed. Zhuang Mingyue looked at the happy two, and smiled unconsciously, she had a great grasp of the affairs of governing the capital in her heart, after all, she came from modern times, studied history, and knew the governance methods of every famous person in history.
"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world" is a well-known ideological statement.
Zhuang Mingyue thought about this decision and explained to everyone tomorrow that the bandit robbery contained this meaning.
She wrote a greeting post in advance, focusing on "Princes and generals, rather have a kind of", and explained in detail that the money obtained from the robbery of bandits was for the people who were living in difficulty, and reduced rumors.
The next day, Emperor Tiansheng officially issued a decree to reward Zhuang Mingyue, and there was an uproar in the capital for a while.
Zhuang Mingyue's prayer note Caiyun Caixia posted it on the notice board, officially stating her thoughts, as for persuading the people, she needs to rely on her strength to prove her ability to them, and those who benefited from the people stood up to speak for the bandits, proving the matter of helping the poor, and the matter of bandits became a good story for a while.
Zhuang Mingyue patrolled the capital with the patrol battalion every day, and found that there were very few women on the street. This flower thief took advantage of the turmoil in the DPRK and China to come out to commit crimes, and haunted the entire capital like a ghost every night.
The family with a girl in the capital no longer dared to let the girl go out, for fear of being seen by him.
The soldiers of the patrol battalion, who had been busy with the bandits for the past few days, and they also had their own female dependents, said angrily: "Head, we must catch him quickly."
Zhuang Mingyue nodded and said, "Use me as bait tonight to lure him into the bait, and you must catch him in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, the soldiers of the patrol battalion thought that this method was the most feasible at present, and they all nodded in agreement.
The night soon shrouded the sky over the capital, Zhuang Mingyue was already dressed as an ordinary woman, walking slowly on the side of the street with her baggage, while Caiyun Caixia and a group of patrol battalions were hiding in the dark.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the sound of small fragments was accompanied by the birdsong, and a man in black appeared quietly from the corner of the wall, and his eyes fell on Zhuang Mingyue.
Zhuang Mingyue had already noticed something unusual, and her steps were a little faster. The flower thief quietly followed her, all in the eyes of everyone, and when the flower thief followed him to the willow tree by the side of the street, a large net fell from the sky and enveloped him firmly.
Zhuang Mingyue turned around at this time and said loudly: "Boldly pick flowers." The flower thief couldn't struggle, and his eyes glared at everyone fiercely.
The next day, the story of the flower thief being caught by Zhuang Mingyue spread throughout the capital, and was loved by the people of the entire capital, and many people came to visit.
And the flower thief would rather die a few days ago, but later because he couldn't stand the torture and daily torture in prison, he confessed his accomplice, which was the thief Long Zhengning said before.
After Zhuang Mingyue got the news, he sent someone to surround their old nest, and quietly blew incense into the window, and the thief lost consciousness after being fascinated while drinking, and was caught by Zhuang Mingyue in one fell swoop.
