Not only did Jian Yu know her, he was also related to her!
"It is the totem of the An clan."
Jian Yu had seen this jade pendant before from her mother, and later when she was investigating her grandfather's family, she also saw it, so she recognized it at a glance.
Jian Yu didn't know much about her maternal grandfather's family, and her grandfather kept silent about them, so she couldn't say it was a frame-up, and she couldn't guarantee that the An family was really involved.
But no matter how much I think about it, it seems impossible. How dare An Jia do it? !
As an imperial merchant, the An family knew the laws of the Zhou Dynasty better than ordinary merchants, and understood what would happen if they attacked the royal family, especially someone with the status of Prince Jing!
"I feel something is fishy."
In such an occasion, was it too coincidental that the jade pendant fell?
Zhou Jinyan did not answer, but handed the jade pendant paper to Jian Yu and told her to put it away. Then he turned to the head and continued to say: "There are two ways. First, the punishment will not harm the family; second, the merit will be lost." crime."
After explaining all the things, the master seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He looked much older, and his eyes were more resigned to his fate. Now when he heard Prince Jing's words, he seemed to be injected with life, and his lips trembled and said: "Can you save your life if you sacrifice your merits?"
Zhou Jinyan glanced over, and the head master immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty Mingjian, although we have blocked roads and robbed over the years, we only seek money and have no malicious intention to harm people's lives."
"Yes, yes, we are also trying to survive, not killing people for fun!"
…
Listening to the bandits' begging for mercy, Jian Yu remembered that the article did describe a few relevant sentences. Two villages were recruited to follow the male protagonist. As members of the protagonist's group, they naturally have to be more upright. Although they belong to The bandit has a chivalrous heart.
There was sarcasm in Jian Yu's eyes. Have these people ever touched the lives of innocent people? impossible!
It's just ignored for the sake of self-interest, and the male protagonist's principle is nothing more than this! In the original work, the heroine Tang Fu is not a kind person, and the third prince is not a very innocent person either!
So, how would Zhou Jinyan choose? Recruit them?
"The life of a common person in the Zhou Dynasty is worth ten heads of a golden slave."
Jian Yu raised her eyes sharply and heard Zhou Jinyan continue: "No matter what the reason is, all the lives killed over the years will be counted as such. You all will go to the north to fight against the enemy and use the heads of golden slaves to save your own lives."
The bandits were stunned, not expecting such a request.
At first, the head master was a little happy. Did Prince Jing mean to ask them to sacrifice their lives?
Road robbery is also about making money by selling one's life. Who is selling it to but not selling it? Besides, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in following Prince Jing.
Although there is a big gap between the actual situation and what I thought, it is still better than life. What they just said was not nonsense. Although they did not harm anyone maliciously, there are always those who rise up to resist, or who see their faces, etc., these people cannot Keep.
They have lives on their hands.
According to Prince Jing, going to the battlefield and using the head of a golden slave to atone for past sins made the master feel indescribably grateful.
Prince Jing did give them a way to survive. If they were punished according to their culpability, all of them would be killed. It would be better to fight for their lives on the battlefield, and become military households. If they can survive and return to their hometown, they can get tax reductions!
"Thank you, Lord Jing, for showing mercy!"
"Thank you, Lord Jing, for showing mercy. We will definitely atone for our sins!"
…
The bandits saw the leader kowtow to express gratitude. Although they hadn't figured out what was going on inside, they knew it was a good thing from the leader's attitude, so they all followed him and knelt down.
Jian Yu on the side looked at Zhou Jinyan with complicated eyes.
Regarding the placement of the bandits, Zhou Jinyan did not need to give instructions. Wei Bai handled it very well spontaneously. He first sent a soldier to Ruoshui Village to report that they were safe, and wrote down the names of everyone present on a piece of paper, and each person could send a message.
Then Wei Bai didn't know what method he used to recruit three people dressed in ordinary clothes who looked like local villagers, and they led the bandits to Bianbei.
Obviously, these three are from the secret guard camp.
After the problem of bandits was resolved, the team continued on their way. This time Zhou Jinyan did not ride a horse, he sat in the car.
"Your Majesty really sent the bandits to Bianbei? Wouldn't it be better to keep them for now?"
Just like the male protagonist, he pointed out which bandits to attack, and then pretended that they had nothing to do with him. In this way, the bandits from the two villages became his secret soldiers.
Although Prince Jing does not need to cultivate power like the male protagonist, the matters he is currently investigating clearly require manpower.
Zhou Jinyan, who was taking a nap, slowly opened his eyes and said in a calm tone: "It's messy and unorganized, burning the forest for hunting. It's not of much use."
Well, in three words, this man, who will be the main force under the male protagonist in the future, has been reduced to dust.
Seeing Jian Yu's confused look, Zhou Jinyan added: "Send these gangsters to Bianbei for some training. They are most suitable for fighting against the golden slaves."
The key point is to practice a lot, otherwise you won't even be able to go to the battlefield. You must know that Zhou Jinyan's military camp pays attention to formations and coordination when fighting, so the casualties of the soldiers in each battle will not be too heavy.
Only by confidently handing your back to your companions can you unleash your greatest ability to defeat the enemy. It's not just a matter of just knowing a few moves to go up and fight.
Recalling the reaction of the bandits during the battle just now, Zhou Jinyan frowned, that was not cool!
Jian Yu could see that Prince Jing really disliked these bandits. He also escaped several sieges and caused headaches for the government. The bandits who ranked among the heroes of the green forest were defeated in one face to face.
I look down upon people with this strength!
"Your Majesty, what do you think of that totem?"
After talking about the bandits, Jian Yu brought up the issue of the jade pendant totem. She was happy to have lost the male protagonist's early right-hand man, but her heart was still a little heavy because of this incident.
Zhou Jinyan lazily leaned back, crossed his legs and stretched them out, then said with a half-smile, "What do you think the king should think of me, princess?"
This familiar breath, familiar posture, familiar tone...
Dog assassin déjà vu!
"I sincerely hope there is a misunderstanding on this matter."
Jian Yu raised her chin. It was said that she had severed ties with others, but the blood ties were still strong. Compared with others, she would definitely prefer her maternal grandfather's family.
Zhou Jinyan looked at Jian Yu's arrogant look and said with a smile: "Since the princess feels there is a misunderstanding, let's stop by and ask to resolve it."
"When I meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I'll just take a trip to Qingzhou." Zhou Jinyan's tone was extremely casual.
This distance from Qingzhou is not convenient!
An idea flashed in Jian Yu's mind. She looked at Zhou Jinyan carefully and said thoughtfully, "The prince's original destination is Qingzhou, right?"
Zhou Jinyan was slightly startled by Jian Yu's acumen, then smiled broadly and said, "The princess is indeed the number one person in my heart. I guessed it right away."
really! She knew that it would not be that simple for Zhou Jinyan to leave Shengjing. He looked so frank with her at first and pretended to be so!
Bah, no one should be the first person in your heart, even a dog!
The villain in Jian Yu's heart punched and screamed angrily.
