Chapter 136: Looking for a Helper【Month(1/2)
It was just noon, and Grandma Geng’s three children may not have arrived in Xiqiu Village.
Liu Mingqi has not finished the arrangement yet, so she naturally will not go there rashly.
When you hear the name of Xiqiu Village, you will know that there are at least one or two hundred families and five or six hundred people.
It is okay to kill with the twenty or thirty guards of Liu Mingqi and Ba Gu, and they can't tie up their own people.
But this way, they cannot be wiped out completely.
If they hear the movement and flee in all directions, and escape from a beast, it will be a failure for Liu Mingqi.
So he wants to find more people.
Of course, the boy didn't go looking for Miao Yan.
Miao Yan hates evil, so there is no problem, but the people under his command have problems.
Otherwise, why hasn’t Xiqiu Village been eradicated for so many years, and even found out that the children and women were abducted and sold?
There must be an insider!
And more than one!
If you want to mobilize hundreds of yamen runners or police officers, you may leak news or neglect your duties and let them go.
Therefore, the young man went to the embroidered yamen.
Before this, he took Zhuang Jingtao out and threw it into a carriage, surrounded by a group of guards, not allowing him to contact the outside world.
Hearing all the way, the officials and guards of the Embroidered Guard Office greeted Liu Mingqi with a smile.
There is no way, he is the God of Wealth.
Every month, even the smallest mail-man, the type that is not even formally organized by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, can get a piece of soap, and it costs one tael of silver when you go out to sell it, which is enough for the family to buy 25 liters of rice or wheat flour to eat.
For ordinary embroidered guards, you can get 5 pieces of soap and 1 bottle of flower essential oil every month.
Especially the flower essential oil, now it has been sold for two or three taels per bottle on the market, and there is still no market price.
The embroidered wardrobe guards would not sell them out. They would either go home to give them to their wives or give them a favor to the flower building, and they would always receive gentle treatment for several days.
As for the general flag, commander, lieutenant, etc., they get more.
The mouth that eats people is soft, but the hands that hold on to people are soft.
With such great benefits, everyone thinks that Prince Yu is righteous and open-minded!
Even the smell of heated lard is stinky. They don’t think it smells too bad.
Gao Jing was handling official business in his room at this time.
The embroidered ward monitors the whole country. Although there are several lieutenants who help to deal with it, the most important thing is that Gao Jing must check it out in person.
It would be fine if he didn't want to ask about it himself, but this would be deceived by the people below and even underestimated.
What's the use of a large governor of the embroidered garment guard who was elevated?
When Gao Jing heard that Liu Mingqi was coming, he felt a headache.
This prince Yu usually has no good things when he comes.
Sure enough, Liu Mingqi asked as soon as she came up: "Governor Gao, do you know the Xiqiu Village west of the capital?"
Gao Jing's eyes froze, "What does it mean?"
"You know indeed!" Liu Mingqi slapped the table and said angrily: "There is such a dirty place in the capital city. Your embroidered wardsman did not report it to eradicate it? What is the reason?"
Gao Jing's momentum immediately restrained: "You don't know that this matter involves all aspects, and the villagers are all very hard-working, and the Imperial Court Office can't find any evidence, so he keeps dragging it like this."
"Can't find out the evidence?" the young man expressed doubts, "Governor Gao, do you think I'm stupid? How is that possible?"
"well!"
Gao Jing sighed, "Your Highness, you are such a smart person, of course you know why you can't find evidence, but it's not just that someone reveals the news."
Liu Mingqi's face suddenly sank.
Gao Jing didn't say it, Liu Mingqi really didn't expect it.
Why can't the evidence be found?
Because it destroyed the evidence!
How to destroy it?
That means the disappearance of life!!
Only when death is unproven can they escape punishment.
"Is there such a thing... many?" Liu Mingqi asked with her fists clenched.
"There are as many searches as you search." Gao Jing nodded, "The people in that village are all dark and there will be no evidence left."
"I see."
Liu Mingqi let go of her fist, "Governor Gao, this time I went to the disaster-stricken area to investigate the situation under the orders of the emperor. I didn't expect to encounter such a bad incident.
I didn't meet it, so that's fine. It happened under my nose today, which really made me unable to bear such provocations. This is also a disrespect to the emperor!"
When Gao Jing saw that he even carried the emperor out, he could only ask: "What do you want? We don't have the right to directly dispatch people to arrest people."
"The specific things do not need to be done by the Embroidered Uniform Guards." Liu Mingqi said in a deep voice: "I need you to grasp the various directions of Xiqiu Village, and not to escape... As long as you escape, you will send them back to the village. Can you do it?"
"Don't let anyone go?"
This time it was Gao Jing's turn to take a breath of air conditioning.
He quickly said, "Your Highness, what are you going to do? It is impossible to learn from Miao Taisheng, and burn the village with a torch, right? That's worse than Miao Taisheng!"
Miao Yan burned the younger brother of the prince's favorite concubine and a group of evil slaves. If Liu Mingqi killed everyone in a village, it would definitely lead to a huge disaster.
Liu Mingqi smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not that cruel. I can't kill anyone alone. I will only teach them a lesson so that they can know how to be alone."
"real?"
"real."
During the question and answer, Gao Jing nodded in another change.
Prince Yu is not a fool or a disciple of the Legalist, so naturally it is impossible for him to do such a cruel thing.
"Okay, my people are responsible for escorting them back, but they also have the right to supervise. If you find something wrong, you will stop your Highness and your actions. Is this OK?" Gao Jing quickly added an extra insurance.
Prince Yu had something wrong, and it was under the nose of the embroidered guard, so he couldn't get rid of it.
"OK!"
Liu Mingqi said cheerfully.
...
After the two discussed, Liu Mingqi took Bagu, Dazhu and the six most fierce guards in the palace to escort Zhuang Jingtao to Xiqiu Village.
Chi San and the remaining group of guards followed two miles behind.
They will not enter the village, but will only rush in when Liu Mingqi sends a signal, crushing all those who dare to block the way.
As long as you can't kill, then do it.
This is Liu Mingqi's original words.
In fact, Liu Mingqi was never afraid of just relying on the few guards around her.
When they really started to act fiercely, the group of farmers were not as good as these guards who had seen blood, otherwise hundreds of cavalry would have chased and killed tens of thousands of people.
Zhuang Jingtao sat on the carriage and was driven by a guard, but he was in a bad mood.
The closer he got to Xiqiu Village, the more panicked he felt.
Especially when I saw Liu Mingqi and Bagu riding a horse and talking and laughing next to me.
But at this time, there was no room for him to retreat.
No matter how the royal family members have no real power, it would be easy to kill him, a businessman, silently.
Especially these are the children of the two princes, so they dare not offend them.
Thinking that his family business in Beijing had disappeared like this, Zhuang Jingtao felt very distressed.
He thought he could work hard for more than ten years, but he didn't expect to force his retirement so soon.
With such a complicated mood, half an hour later, the group arrived in Xiqiu Village.
The name of Xiqiu Village contains the word "Qiu". In fact, there were two hills that were rising and falling before entering the village.
Liu Mingqi, from afar, saw several people standing on the hill.
When they saw the person coming, they immediately ran three down, and the remaining two were still standing still.
The boys who were used to watching tunnel warfare and mine warfare knew that these people were sentries, but they didn’t know whether to send a message to cut down trees or burn wolf smoke.
The three men who came down were about thirty years old. When they saw Zhuang Jingtao sitting in the carriage, their vigilance on their faces became a little more relaxed.
"Boss Zhuang, why are you here again?" The man in charge said with a smile, "How about it, the woman I took away last month, okay? xx is big, with a round butt, and it's very exciting to play!"
