Chapter 47 Fear
At the mention of Chen Changshi, Magistrate Cai finally put down the teacup in his hand.
The princess is a female prostitute. She is young and ignorant and easy to fool. Chen Zhuoku had been the chief official of the palace for thirty years and was very influential in the officialdom of Nanyang County. In the year after the death of King Nanyang, Chen Changshi was in charge of the affairs of the palace.
The master looked at his master eagerly and waited for a long time before he said: "Prepare the pen and ink. I will write a letter to Chen Changshi in my own handwriting and explain something."
The master : "..."
That's it?
Don’t you need a backup gift?
This is too much!
The master wanted to persuade him again, but Magistrate Cai waved his hand impatiently: "Please step aside first! I have been busy all day and rarely have time to enjoy a cup of tea. I will go to the study later."< br>
The master was also discouraged.
What else could he do when he encountered such a master? No matter what, he had done his duty as a master. Magistrate Cai wanted to commit suicide, and no one could do anything about it.
Sure enough, news came two days later.
The princess personally led a thousand elite soldiers into the territory of Li County and went straight to the direction of the bandits' den in the mountains.
Cough cough cough!
Magistrate Cai choked on the hot tea in his mouth, coughed several times, and his face turned red: "What, what did you say? The princess led troops to suppress the bandits?"
The master replied with a bitter face: "Yes, one thousand men and two thousand horses, with a huge momentum, without any intention of avoiding the eyes of others. After entering the boundary of Li County, they rushed to Heisong Mountain. Also, Chen Changshi also personally When I came to Li County, I was there On the way, we will arrive at the county government office in about one or two days. Your Excellency, you must prepare yourself in advance and think about how to deal with Chen Changshi’s questioning... Your Excellency!"
Magistrate Cai’s eyes darkened and his body shook. A flash.
The master's quick eyesight and quick hands helped the shaky Magistrate Cai.
Magistrate Cai took a few deep breaths, feeling unable to relax for a while. He held the master's arm tightly with both hands: "The princess is only ten years old, and she is still a little girl. How dare she personally lead the troops to suppress the bandits in Li County?"
The master sighed: "Because This shows that the princess is definitely not someone to be trifled with. You have to be careful next time, otherwise this black hat may be in danger.”
No matter how young the princess is, she is still the master of Nanyang County. All appointments of officials in Nanyang County depend on the wishes of the princess. The princess can drive Magistrate Cai back to his hometown with just one word.
Magistrate Cai finally realized that he was afraid.
It’s a pity it’s too late! The princess led a thousand elite soldiers and went straight to Heisong Mountain. She didn't even come to the county government office, which showed that she was furious.
Magistrate Cai was in shock, his hands holding his arms kept shaking: "What should I do now?"
If you are willing to listen to him, go to the palace to plead guilty in person, and calm down the princess and Chen Chang Shi's anger would not be as guilty as he is now.
The master was madly complaining in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. He had to rack his brains to find a way to deal with his master: "The princess personally led the troops to suppress the bandits. Now that you have the news, you can't pretend that you don't know about it. All the local government servants in the county government office are here." Send them over to explore and lead the way for the army.”
Exchange your merits!
Before Magistrate Cai was too confused, he immediately said: "Don't leave any government servants behind. Send them all to the princess. You go too! Please plead guilty to the princess on my behalf!"
Master: "..."
...
Ten miles outside Heisong Mountain, a thousand soldiers have begun to set up camp.
When marching outside, setting up camp is a big deal. Qin Zhan was a good fighter, but his vision in selecting camps was not as good as his ability in setting up camps. He did not seek credit and directly recommended Liu Hengchang in front of the princess, who agreed without saying a word.
Liu Hengchang sighed again in his heart, "I have to meet the Ming Lord, but the Ming Lord is a woman." He didn't show anything on his face, and after receiving the order, he led people to cut down trees to build a stronghold.
Song Yuan, Qin Hu and other two hundred personal guards did not move. Their duty is to protect the princess. No matter when and where, she will always be by your side. Jiang Shaohua was not idle at this time. He was asking the handsome young archer Xiaotian in a gentle voice: "There are ten of you, why are you and Tao Dalang the only ones back?"
Xiaotian replied respectfully: "Back to the princess, ten of us were divided into five teams, and we went into the mountains in teams of two to explore the road. It was difficult to communicate in the mountains and forests, so we agreed to meet at night. Tao Da and I calculated the marching speed of the army, and specially Come and greet him. The others won’t go down the mountain until evening.”
Oda is actually not short among boys of his age, but Tao Da is too tall and strong, standing there like an iron tower. Oda looked particularly slender and petite.
Tao Da is arrogant and a fool, so it would be a good idea to partner with Xiao Tian. Xiaotian quickly reported the situation of the road exploration, and Tao Da nodded aside.
After Jiang Shaohua listened, he asked Xiaotian and Tao Da to step back and rest. Then he called Song Yuan and Qin Zhan to come over to discuss strategies to suppress the bandits.
Liu Hengchang was also called over.
In the temporary tent, Jiang Shaohua tapped the simple route drawn by Xiao Tian with his hand: "The approximate location of the bandit village is here. The gate of the village is tall and strong. The specific situation needs to be explored further."
Song Yuan answered What they said: "The transport camp is still on the way. It's just a good time to explore the terrain in the past two days."
Qin Zhan said: "In the past two days, I will lead people to hunt in the mountains and forests. I will give it to everyone." To satisfy the craving, no matter how strong a man is, he will have no strength after eating dry biscuits and drinking cold water for several days."
Jiang Shaohua nodded: "The bandits will definitely be panicked by such a move, maybe it would be best to make a noise. I can catch one or two alive."
Qin Zhan immediately became energetic and clenched his big fists: "Leave this matter to the general."
At this time, there was movement outside the tent.
“For your information, Princess Cai, County Magistrate Cai has sent masters and servants for the Princess to dispatch.”
Song Yuan snorted coldly: “He also has this face. I’ll go right away. Send them away."
" Since they are here, let them stay. "Jiang Shaohua said lightly: "Most of the government officials are from Li County. Let the master come in to explore. I have something to ask."
Song Yuan responded and turned around to order Qin Hu.
Qin Hu quickly went to deliver the message.
The government officials, who were panting after two hours of walking, were divided into teams of five. They took the bamboo whistles that carried the message and went into the mountains with a grimace.
The master entered the tent tremblingly, not daring to look up, and knelt down with a plop: "Little Cai Ye, please see the princess."
The name is interesting.
Master Cai was born black, thin and shriveled, with two goat's beards, like a black goat.
Jiang Shaohua raised his eyebrows and asked casually: "Your surname is also Cai, are you a relative of Magistrate Cai?"
Master Cai lowered his head and replied: "The younger one is a distant cousin of Magistrate Cai. At the age of sixteen, he passed the examination as a scholar. After several years of failing to pass the examination, the family could not afford to continue studying, so the young boy went to work for Mr. Cai and became a master in Lixian County." A lot of people.
It is a pity that the family is poor and ugly. Given the bad habit of having a good face in the Daliang officialdom, with his appearance, even if he entered the officialdom, his future would be bleak.
Jiang Shaohua glanced at him: "If Magistrate Cai doesn't come, what will you do?"
