Then, the two people who claimed to be Jin Yiwei were brought over.
Sure enough, it was the one sent by Zhang Mingwei before, and one of them was Ma Wu.
Both of them were from Fangshan County. As soon as they came back, they immediately contacted their fellow villagers, and soon they had news about the previous thief.
Zhou Yuji heard this from the side and said happily: "Sir, this saves us time. Even if they are moving again, we can catch up with them today!"
Zhang Mingwei nodded after hearing this, and he immediately sent Ye Bushou, a man and two horses, to search in the direction of the thief.
Then, Zhang Mingwei questioned several other people who were acting suspiciously.
Zhou Yuji then reported: "Sir, those few people are from the palaces of the powerful people in the capital. They traveled all night and did not go on official roads. They tried to bypass us. In the end, they were stopped and questioned by Ye Bushou, who was released by the general. He uses his power to overwhelm others and rushes in a hurry but refuses to explain what he is doing."
Having said this, he added: "Two of them are from the residence of Duke Chengguo, and the other three are from the residence of Wei Zhaocheng, the assistant minister of the cabinet. According to the report, they are heading towards Fangshan. Go to the county."
The origins of these people are indeed quite big. If they were an ordinary army, they would really not dare to embarrass them. But the Yongwei camp was different. It was under the jurisdiction of the Royal Horse Supervisor and belonged to the emperor's personal army. Now that Zhang Mingwei is in charge of the army, I will not be scared even if the King of Heaven comes.
"Oh?" Zhang Mingwei asked thoughtfully upon hearing this, "Do you have any letters with you?"
"No!" After hearing this, Zhou Yuji immediately replied, "Why don't you, sir, go and have a look? I have been shouting that I want to see you and tell you that I am the last general."
After Zhang Mingwei heard this, he did not answer immediately, but was thinking about the question.
At this point in time, under the background that there are still people in the capital who are adding fuel to the flames of the refugee issue, Zhou Yuji's statement of suspicious behavior does make sense. But if you ask directly, you will definitely get nothing out of it. So, what to do?
There were too many examples in his mind. Just thinking about it, Zhang Mingwei had an idea in his mind. He immediately called Ma Wu and others, a total of four Jinyi guardsmen, and ordered them: "Go and recognize the faces of those people. Don't be discovered by them. Then go to the city gate of Fangshan County and wait. If you see a few of them, follow them to see who they are in contact with. If necessary, ask for specific information."
After hearing this, Ma Wu and others immediately took the order and left.
When Zhou Yuji heard this, he couldn't help but admire him and said: "I will admire you for your wisdom!"
In this way, you can roughly know what these people are here to do?
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cough behind him.
Zhou Yuji turned around and saw his wife coming over protecting Princess Kunxing.
Isn't it such a coincidence that she heard what I just said today, and when I look back, she will probably talk about how I learned to flatter!
For a moment, Zhou Yuji blushed a little. Before I thought about it, how could this happen if we were fighting on the battlefield? But having said that, Duke Xing Guo is really powerful!
As he was thinking about it, Zhu Yuluo had already walked over and said with a hint of excitement: "Sir, when will we break camp and set off?"
The first battlefield battle in her life, fighting to save the Ming Dynasty, really felt very sacred to her!
But who knows, Zhang Mingwei looked at her and said with a smile: "What are you doing so quickly? Let's go hunting first!"
As soon as he said these words, everyone was dumbfounded: Aren't they here to suppress thieves and punish local officials? How come they still have time to hunt?
Including Zhou Yuji, seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Zhang Mingwei explained with a smile: "Ma Wu and the others have come back to report, and they probably know the location of the thieves. Now they have sent Ye Bushou to investigate. I believe it will be very soon." The results will be there soon. In addition, we must also give others the opportunity to act for them to see."
Generally speaking, the army can go in the direction of the thief, and it does not hinder the return of Ye Buzao's investigation. But it is obvious that the real reason why Zhang Mingwei wants to hunt is to act.
Therefore, after hearing this, Zhu Aolao couldn't help but curiously asked: "Sir, what play are you playing?"
After Zhang Mingwei explained for a while, even Mrs. Zhou Liu behind Zhu Yuluo looked at him, her eyes flashing. She didn't know whether she thought Zhang Mingwei was smart or cunning. In short, she finally understood why she heard her husband say she admired him just now!
Who would have thought of the truth in this!
……………………
The sun was rising higher and higher, and the Yongwei camp showed no signs of breaking out. Zhu Youfu, who was being held in custody, was anxious and at the same time, he was also a little puzzled: Why is there no sign of breaking camp? This place is still far away from Fangshan County!
Although he couldn't understand it, he was afraid of delaying the matter, so he continued to make trouble and strongly protested against his imprisonment.
However, the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion who were guarding them seemed to be deaf and ignored them at all.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhu Youfu was a little tired from all the trouble. When he was discussing what to do with his accomplices, he suddenly heard a movement outside.
"Haha, it's so interesting. It's more fun to leave the palace!"
"Since the princess is so interested in hunting, let's go hunting again in the afternoon after we have had enough wine and food. It's a pity that I didn't even catch a rabbit, but the princess gained a lot!"
"Mr. Xingguo, let me do it. How about we compete again in the afternoon?"
"..."
When Zhu Youfu heard these words, he suddenly realized.
With his status, he naturally knew that Princess Kunxing was sticking to Duke Xingguo. Now it is not surprising that he is accompanying Duke Xingguo again.
The reason why the Yongwei camp did not break out was because the princess wanted to hunt. Also, Duke Xingguo actually treated marching and fighting as a child's play and even played with the princess. Sure enough, it was only through flattery that I got to where I am now. What a villain!
Thinking like this, while being jealous of Zhang Mingwei, he looked at his accomplice and started making a loud noise again.
As expected, they provoked Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Ayao. After some questioning, Zhu Yura scolded Zhou Yuji and asked him to let him go. Then she urged Zhang Mingwei to leave quickly. She couldn't wait for the afternoon hunting, saying that it was her first time out of Beijing and she must take this opportunity to have fun.
After seeing Zhu Youfu and other imprisoned people go away, Zhu Yuyao no longer looked like a princess, but calmed down and asked Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, will they be fooled?"
Zhang Mingwei smiled after hearing this and said: "The princess performed very well. As for whether they will be fooled, they will know soon!"
After he finished speaking, his expression became a little heavy again.
I just went out for a walk and saw a few bones. This was still around the capital. For Zhang Mingwei who came from a later generation, it was quite shocking.
If it were in Shaanxi, or in the Central Plains where thieves were more rampant, I don’t know what would happen!
You must work hard and see how you can change this world!
Waiting until the afternoon, Ye Buzuo quickly reported the traces of the thief.
