Yao Yao smiled helplessly: "Da Ya is a wild girl, you have to watch her closely, don't let His Highness make her anxious, or she beats His Highness again."
Wang Xian raised his eyebrows with a look of gloating on his face: "Isn't that just right? I've never seen you so humble and begging for mercy. When you go to confess to His Highness later, don't forget to call me. Go watch the fun."
"..." Yao Yao was speechless and kicked Wang Xian: "Go away quickly, you are so inhumane."
Wang Xian chuckled, walked up to Leng Linjiang and Bao Cheng, and explained Han Changmu's arrangement in a low voice.
Yao Yao walked quickly to Da Ya, interrupted Xie Mengxia's dancing to a point of madness, and whispered to Da Ya: "You will follow Wang Xian and others in a moment."
Daya was startled and asked in surprise: "Sister Ah Yao, won't you come with us?"
Yao Yao gently patted Daya's bun: "You guys go first. I still have some things to finish. I will catch up with you soon after I finish. Don't worry, I will ask Wang Xian to send you to Jingzhao Mansion." , your wife and Erya are both in Jingzhao Mansion."
Da Ya burst into tears all of a sudden: "Are Grandma and Er Ya okay?"
"Okay, they are all fine, just waiting for you to go back." Yao Yao reached out to wipe the tears from Da Ya's face and advised in a low voice.
Xie Mengxia finally found an opportunity, squeezed in between the two of them, and puffed out his chest: "Ayao, don't worry, Da Ya will be left to me. I will bring her back to the capital safely."
"You?" Yao Yao raised his eyelids and smiled sarcastically, but did not continue or reveal Xie Mengxia's identity. He only said to Daya calmly: "Daya, you will be smart in a moment. Please follow Wang Xian closely."
Da Ya nodded heavily and said the word "OK" timidly.
Yao Yao turned around and saw that Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming had already squeezed towards Han Changmu. She told Daya a few more words and hurried over.
She and Zhao Yingrong walked to Han Changmu almost at the same time, took a slight breath, and nodded to Han Changmu imperceptibly.
Han Changmu looked up calmly and saw that in the pitch-black night, Wang Xian and several people were hunched over, walking slowly along tree trunks and grass in a direction away from the crowd. In just a moment, several people Then disappeared.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly heaving a sigh of relief, and braced himself to deal with Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming who had already walked in front of him.
When things developed to this point, Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming completely put away their contempt for Han Changmu. Their respectful eyes showed endless scrutiny and caution, and they all saluted, but neither of them was willing to speak first.
It seems like whoever speaks first loses.
Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming didn't speak, and Han Changmu stayed calm and didn't speak either. He only looked at the two of them with indifferent expressions.
Zhao Yingrong was so panicked when Han Changmu saw him that he couldn't care about anything else. He coughed heavily and said awkwardly: "My lord, this,"
"My surname is Han, and I am the Chief of the Internal Security Department." Han Changmu interrupted Zhao Yingrong lightly and introduced himself first.
Upon hearing the words "Department of Internal Security", Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming both changed their expressions and looked at each other with a heartbroken look.
Qingyun Village has always adhered to the three no-robbery principles of not robbing honest officials, not robbing common people, and not robbing scholars. They kept a low profile as water bandits and managed the village peacefully. When did they provoke the plague god of the Internal Security Department?
This means confiscating the entire family.
Of course, most of the people in Qingyun Village are all members of the family, and they work together as water bandits. No one is innocent, and there is no injustice in confiscating their homes and killing their families.
Zhao Yingrong was so frightened that his liver trembled. He tried to calm down, and his laughter was even uglier than crying: "It turns out that it's Mr. Si Shi. Mr. Si Shi, I don't know how we, our Qingyun Village, got into trouble with you. How could it be possible? How could it happen? meeting,"
He hesitated to speak. He was too frightened to speak any more.
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "Originally, you couldn't hinder me, but you tied up a girl who shouldn't be tied up."
Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming looked at each other, girl, I tied up a girl who shouldn't have been tied up, who could she be?
God, who can tell him who tied him up? He will chop off that person's claws!
Han Changmu looked at the despair on Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming's faces, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but his face didn't reveal anything, and he said calmly: "Okay, as for who caught it, and who was caught, the two heads of the house will investigate the current situation later. , the two masters should also be very aware that at this rate, the time has come and none of us can escape, so the two masters might as well think about how to escape faster."
When Han Changmu speaks, he never knows the meaning of euphemism and implicitness. He always speaks in a straightforward manner, saying one thing and another, and not exaggerating or adding jealousy. Of course, he doesn't know how to speak softly to eliminate fear.
His words stated the facts straightforwardly, and frightened Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming to death.
Zhao Yingrong then thought about the saltpeter cylinders buried under the mountain. The number and location were unknown, but they could be piled up into a mountain. He felt that Han Changmu's words were not entirely meant to intimidate them.
He spoke impatiently: "Sir, before leaving the village, the villain arranged for someone to raise the ropeway, put the dug saltpeter tubes in the hanging basket, and sent them all to the opposite cliff. I don't know. Can you reduce the power of the mountain explosion?"
Hearing this, Han Changmu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Zhao Yingrong could react so quickly and come up with such a way in such an emergency.
He thought for a moment: "The master's arrangements are very good, but once the mountain is exploded, although the Yulin Army will also be greatly affected, the impact on the northern mountain range will not diminish. We are still the first to bear the brunt. Now the most The most important thing is to stay as far away from the village as possible."
Li Changming nodded heavily and agreed very much with this: "What the Commander-in-Chief said is absolutely true, but there are too many young people. We, my eldest brother and I, cannot leave so many young people behind and run for our lives without any care. ."
"You two are people who value love and righteousness." Han Changmu praised him sincerely. He meant it from the bottom of his heart. If these two people only thought about escaping for their own lives, they would probably have run out of the Qingyun Village by now. I won't delay discussing anything with him here.
"Your Majesty, thank you very much. Our brothers are all rough people and can't speak eloquently. These young people are all hard-working people. They only go up the mountain to have a full meal. We can't watch them lose their lives." "Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming smiled sheepishly. Han Changmu said lightly: "I wonder if you two heads have thought about the future. It will be extremely difficult to rebuild Qingyun Village after this crisis. Besides, do you have to lead these people to be water bandits for the rest of their lives? This, It’s a fool’s errand.”
Yao Yao lowered her eyes and stood with her hands tied next to her. Listening to Han Changmu's words, she smiled in her heart, and now she was setting a trap for these two brainless people.
Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming looked at each other, and were heartbroken by what Han Changmu said. They both shook their heads: "Who wants to be a water bandit for the rest of his life? Isn't it something that can't be helped?"
Han Changmu concentrated for a moment and took the initiative to mention: "The Internal Security Department recruits many hidden stakes every year and places them in Chang'an City. If you two heads are interested, I can select a group of people from these water bandits to serve as the Internal Security Department's secret agents." Hidden stakes were placed throughout Chang'an City, and the two heads of the family were responsible for delivering the news. The remaining people who were not elected were returned to the land in the suburbs of Chang'an City, registered as good citizens, and became ordinary people from then on. I don't know what they meant. How about next."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming couldn't help but be ecstatic. They have been water bandits for decades, which sounds cool and comfortable enough, but deep down deep down they still want to obtain the household registration as a good citizen and stop being a Chawu. This person's black account.
Now, not only do they have a decent household registration, but they can also earn a living as an official. What else can they do? If they don't agree to such a good thing, then the two of them are really stupid as water bandits.
Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming nodded in unison.
After the ecstasy, Li Changming came back to his senses, his eyes were wary, and he asked hesitantly: "What are the conditions for your Majesty to help us like this?"
Han Changmu looked at Li Changming for a moment and said with an indifferent expression: "First, hand Dou Weiqi and Xue Shou over to my officer for interrogation. Second, all the water bandits will be sent to the Department of Internal Security for screening and interrogation."
Zhao Yingrong was stunned for a moment. The second point is easy to understand. Since we have to select suitable people from among the water bandits to be the secret agents of the Internal Security Department, of course they must have a clean background and must be screened carefully. But the first point must be The interrogation of Dou Weiqi was expected, as he was a scourge in human skin, but why was Xue Shou interrogated?
What Li Changming was thinking was, why was everyone interrogating, but he and Zhao Yingrong were not interrogated, was it discriminatory against them?
He stiffened his neck and asked: "Sir, sir, one of the villain and the eldest brother is the head of Qingyun Village, and the other is the second in charge of Qingyun Village, so there is no need to interrogate. Can you trust the villain so much?"
Hearing this, Yao Yao almost laughed out loud. Why didn't they interrogate the two of them? They had no idea. What else could be the reason? Isn't it because they don't have enough brain capacity? Interrogating them would bring down the Internal Security Department. Average IQ?
Han Changmu tilted his head and looked at Li Changming, as if looking at a fool. How stupid must he be to ask such a question.
After a while, Li Changming realized belatedly that he seemed to have asked a stupid question that he shouldn't have asked. As for why he shouldn't have asked it and why it was a stupid question, he couldn't figure it out.
Zhao Yingrong followed Li Changming's words and asked, "Sir, why are you interrogating Mr. Xue? Is there anything wrong with him?"
Yao Yao sighed desperately, what else could be the reason? Because he has no brains. People without brains can't think of so many dirty tricks, so the only one who has the brains is Xue Shou.
