"If I don't do it myself, how can I expect you losers?"
"If this bandit dares to attack me, he will be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts!" Yang Shu said with a cruel look on his face.
"I have killed all the people. When I bring the bodies down, you can identify them and see if there are any missing people."
The county magistrate was stunned. Kill him?
After taking two steps, Yang Shu turned around and said, "Just some idiots. The court has tried to suppress them several times over the years but they still haven't been able to eradicate them..."
Yang Shu paused and looked at the county magistrate sharply.
The county magistrate's heart skipped a beat, and his back immediately became wet with sweat.
"It turns out that you are all for a living!"
"Publish it outside and let everyone know how powerful this prince is." Yang Shu raised his chin, proud and arrogant.
The county magistrate relaxed all over and his flesh sank. How could he think that this dude had seen something?
"Fang Zhuang, this is the first mountain that this prince has conquered. If the Yang family army comes over, it must be defended by me!" Yang Shuzhi was very proud.
The county magistrate secretly pouted, a dude is a dude, a broken mountain, what's there to show off?
What happened to Zhang Ling and the others that they were defeated so quickly?
This year's filial piety is gone.
The county magistrate looked at Yang Shu, who was still talking. When he saw someone walking up the mountain, he wiped the sweat off his body and asked someone to carry him back.
"It's a hard night." Yang Shu looked at the direction the county magistrate was leaving and said to Fang Zhuang.
"The knife was deeper. It has a lot of flesh, so it might not have penetrated in."
Collusion between officials and gangsters is not a rare thing. Now that you are in front of him, just think about it.
As for the profit network behind, he didn't bother digging.
It is impossible to clean up the dirty court of Yan State.
Silver mines were his top priority.
Lu Yun opened the letter, read two lines, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Miss, are you crying and complaining that you can't sleep alone and want you to accompany me in your dreams?" Mo Mei refilled Lu Yun's tea.
"Not today. I told some interesting stories about Liang County."
Lu Yun put the letter away, put it into the box, and lightly opened his lips, "Go and see what Pai Gow is doing and ask him to come."
Mo Mei put down the teapot and immediately left the yard.
Lu Yun looked through Ye Guo's information with a focused expression.
Pai Gow came very quickly, and he didn't dare to delay for fear of missing something. He had already seen how powerful Lu Yun was.
"Madam." Pai Gow called softly.
"I want to go to the farm tomorrow to meet Cui Tingyu."
"I'll make arrangements now, little one." Without asking why, Pai Gow withdrew.
In the past, Pai Gow respected Lu Yun because she was the mistress of King Ding's Mansion, but now it has an extra level because of who she is.
Pai Gow had investigated Lu Yun's past very clearly before she got married. She was a poor person who was teased by her stepmother, and who seemed to have a father but no father.
Although he has read poetry and books, he is not as good as the one in Shangshufu.
Except for appearance, there is nothing too superior.
Now it seems that he is just hiding himself and not showing his face, so as not to be targeted by the mother and daughter.
When it comes to arranging things, Lu Yun is more meticulous than the prince, and her insight is amazing. No flaw can escape her eyes.
With her help, the prince's path will be much more stable.
Pai Gow always feels that Lu Yun's strength has not been fully developed yet.
"Your Majesty, kill me. The meat was too fat. I had to stab him several times before I pulled the neck open. I lost all my breath and still oozed feces and urine." Fang Zhuang looked disgusted.
Yang Shu took a sip of noodles and said silently, "Can you give me a wink next time? This prince is having a midnight snack, is it appropriate for you to say this?"
"There's one in the kitchen, go and serve it yourself."
Seeing Fang Zhuang coming up to look at him, Yang Shu protected the bowl.
Fang Zhuang turned around and said, "Your Majesty, it will take a long time to dig this silver mine. We won't just stay here, right?"
"What are you thinking about? I'll leave in two days."
Fang Zhuang was shocked, "You don't want the silver mine anymore?"
If Fang Zhuang hadn't been eating noodles, Yang Shu would have slapped him on his head. He seemed to be someone who regarded money as nothing?
"I am a playboy who wants to have fun. If I stay on the mountain without leaving, even a fool will know that there is something wrong."
"When the rumors ferment and let everyone see how proud I am, even if I occupy this mountain, no one will think twice about it."
"By the way, keep an eye on Zhang Ling. If he makes any move, kill him." Yang Shu said in a very calm tone.
By letting people go down the mountain, he has fulfilled his promise to Zheng Shao. It is no wonder that Zhang Ling seeks his own death.
Putting down the bowl, Yang Shu went to wash up. Before going to bed, he touched the two pieces of silver ore on the table. They were dug out half an hour ago. Good things must be shared with his wife.
In the early morning, after breakfast, Lu Yun changed into less eye-catching clothes and followed Pai Gow into the secret passage.
It was the first time for Lu Yun to come to the farm where Cui Tingyu lived. After getting off the carriage, she looked around.
It's quiet and far away from people.
"Madam." Zhuangtou saluted Lu Yun and led the way.
Cui Tingyu was playing chess in the yard. She didn't look up when she heard footsteps.
"Miss Cui." Lu Yun walked over and called out. After looking at the chessboard, she picked up a black stone and dropped it.
Cui Tingyu looked at Lu Yun, raised her lips and smiled, "Did Yang Shu leave Jian'an?"
"How can I see it?"
"If he were here, he would never let you come alone." Cui Tingyu picked up the white child and dropped it, "Can you ask me for anything?"
"We can't talk about it." Lu Yun glanced at the chessboard and made no move, showing a thoughtful look, "Miss Cui is not happy in Ye Country, right?"
Cui Tingyu raised her eyes and looked directly at Lu Yun, waiting for her to continue.
"Emperor Ye dotes on his young son, but King Cheng and you are not of the same mother."
"After King Cheng was born, Cui Ye's treatment was far worse than before. You were not affected much, but it is impossible for Miss Cui to be without resentment in her heart when her brother was bullied."
Lu Yun looked at it for a while and then dropped the black man.
Cui Tingyu's eyes were pale, "Has Yang Shu been exposed?"
Lu Yun shook his head, "The prince has always been cautious, and his acting is perfect. No one will believe that his playboy is just faking it unless there is irrefutable proof."
Cui Tingyu said nothing and looked at Lu Yun quietly.
"My purpose is not to persuade Miss Cui to join forces with the Crown Prince, but to let you know something about the situation in Yan Kingdom."
Lu Yun looked into the distance, "The army in the north of Xinjiang was captured by King Xi."
"General Zhenbei doesn't want to train his guards and instructs them to dig cordyceps all day long."
"There is obviously no war and no achievements have been made, but the military pay in northern Xinjiang is far higher than that in other places."
"Miss Cui is very smart, she should know what I mean." Lu Yun's eyes moved to Cui Tingyu.
Cui Tingyu's eyes narrowed slightly. Of course she knew what Lu Yun was expressing. Being so unprepared could only be collusion.
Rongguo has long existed in name only, and the only one that King Xi can collude with is Xiaoguo.
"Miss Cui must have gotten to know Xiao Guo. King Xi is definitely no match for them. Yan Guo's final fate will be the same as Rong Guo's."
"Long ago, Xiao Guo had a fight with Ye Guo, and Ye Guo was almost defeated."
"If they want to take over Yan State, it will be difficult for Ye State to fight against them."
"The most important thing is that Cui Ye's illness has been cured. Once a fight breaks out, he will have to watch the battle. If he cannot give a good performance, Emperor Ye will dislike him even more."
