Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 246
Hearing the dog's report, Wei Guan, the magistrate who knew the inside story early in the morning, was puzzled.

His Highness built this building as a straight hook designed to bluff people.Anyone with a little brain can see that something is wrong with this building.

He thought that he wanted to use himself and a bunch of Suzhou government bureaucrats and celebrities as bait to lure the water bandits and rebels to come to the confrontation.

He thinks he has seen through the bandits planned by His Highness, and then thinks that the preparatory warehouse of the government government is now leaderless. Su Song is bound to fall into panic.Such a large amount of food must not be transferred quietly without anyone noticing.

Then, the bandits will definitely choose to abandon this "straight hook" building and choose to attack the reserve warehouse.It happened to fall into His Highness's plan.

But Wei Guan really didn't expect that someone would actually "bite" this "straight hook". Could it be that these remnant bandits are the kind of reckless men who only grow muscles in their brains and beat the master to death with random punches?

No, that's not right... Pishi Street also encountered a battle, and it should be only a small group of partial divisions who came here.It should be that among the bandits, some people saw their "plan" and then "followed the plan" to directly attack this place, which is heavily guarded on the surface, but actually has no defenses.

But in this case, why not gather all the strength to directly break through this building?Although they were in a disadvantaged position, if they guessed that there was an ambush in the reserve warehouse, they should attack here regardless of the cost...

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Wei Guan's mind, and before he could come up with a reason, he heard a guard on high ground yelling: "Arrow attack! Dodge! Dodge!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

"Zuoduoduo!" Several crossbow arrows flew into the building from the window and shot at the pillars on the wall of the building.Although it didn't cause any casualties, it scared everyone in the building who didn't know it to death.

"It's a thief! It's a thief!"

"It wasn't water, it was set on fire by thieves, and some thieves have entered the city!"

The crowd suddenly panicked, and Zhu Su, who was guarded by a group of guards, pushed away the crowd in front of them. They saw a group of people collapsed to the ground in fright, some stood up and wanted to flee, and some of them were even officials in the Suzhou government. .

There was a sudden chaos in the building.

"Run away! The thieves have broken the city!"

"Everyone, don't mess around! If you go out, you will definitely be the target of the thieves first! The prince is still here..."

"Go away! Do you dare to stop me!"

Amidst the chaos, a merchant who remained calm shouted to his colleagues not to panic, but was kicked aside by an official.Zhu Su's face turned dark, and Zheng Guogong Chang Mao had already slapped the table with beard and hair standing on end: "Why are you arguing! Didn't you see that His Highness is still here! Everything is as expected by His Highness, why are you in such a mess?"

Everything as expected?The crowd froze for a moment, they all looked up at Zhu Su who was still sitting upright.Wei Guan was also surprised, didn't it mean that this is just a "straight hook" to bluff people, and its function is to let the bandits bite the "curved hook" on the side of the reserve warehouse?

His Highness expected someone to bite the hook?

"It's true, it was unintentional..." Zhu Su sighed inwardly.But under the watchful eyes of everyone, he also made a calm appearance.

Seeing the dog watching outside nodded, indicating that there was no more threat, Zhu Su stood up. "Everyone, this king has also prepared a sideshow for you."

"If you don't give up, please go to the outside terrace with me to have a look."

As he said that, he moved first and walked to the terrace outside the house.

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay. They were worried that they would be shot by crossbow arrows if they went outside, but the daughter of Prince Wu went to the terrace, so how could they refuse?He hesitated to go outside the terrace, only to feel the night wind blowing, and the whole person was suddenly refreshed.Sure enough, there was no imaginary besieging bandits outside, only a round of moonlight shining on the rushing river in front of the building.

"Oh, I found it, I found it, there it is."

Holding the binoculars, Zhu Su kept searching the river under the amazed eyes of everyone, and he found several figures swimming across the river.

"Show us too!" Chang Mao snatched the telescope over. "Hey, there are indeed! These turtles are swimming very fast in the water!"

Everyone didn't know what tricks the two of them were playing. Even Wei Guan, who thought he knew everything, looked at Zhu Su and Chang Mao who were holding strange props and yelling in bewilderment.I only heard Zhu Su say to Chang Mao: "Brother Chang, you can close the net." Chang Mao nodded, took a big flag from the sergeant beside him and danced against it.

"Your Highness, is this... fishing?"

Several fast boats docked in the river suddenly started to move, and a huge and incomparable net was formed between each two boats, and they headed towards the river.I saw His Highness holding that strange prop and muttering something, "Left, right, and a little more to the right..." Chang Guogong waved the command flag to give orders to the clippers below, but after a while, the clippers seemed to have arrived Everything returned to the voyage.

"As expected of an elite soldier trained by Shuai Chang! This technique of maneuvering a boat in the water is really unmatched!" Zhu Su praised.

"Hey. That's needless to say." Chang Mao looked complacent. "Those thieves claim to be good at water. But our Chang family's water skills are not bad!"

Someone had vaguely guessed something. After the soldiers on the fast boat landed, everyone saw many wet "water ghosts" entangled in the fishing nets they were dragging.Everyone was in an uproar.

"Okay, these 'Taihu water bandits' have been captured in one fell swoop." Zhu Su laughed.The crowd behind was stunned for a moment, and those who reacted quickly knelt down first: "Your Highness has strategized and won a thousand miles!"

Everyone realized that tonight's thoughtless banquet was actually a good show to exterminate the Taihu water bandits.

It's just that they still don't understand why they and His Royal Highness are eating and drinking in the building, and then His Highness and Chang Guogong commanded the sergeant to drag a round of nets in the river, so as to catch these people who came and went without a trace. "Water bandits" all caught up.

However, this does not prevent them from using their imagination to tell their friends and relatives the story of "fishing for water bandits" tonight.

This is exactly what Zhu Su wanted.Spreading the news that the Taihu water bandits have been exterminated as soon as possible can completely end the so-called rumors that "the ghost of King Cheng's army is in trouble" and quickly stabilize the people's hearts in Suzhou because they miss Zhang Shicheng...

……

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

"Did you expect someone to attack here?"

After sending sentry cavalry to confirm that there was no hidden danger, Zhu Su dismissed the guests who were still confused.Feeling that he was kept in the dark, Wei Guan kept asking Zhu Su, with a tone of blame:
"His Royal Highness, if you expect that there will be thieves coming here, how can you risk yourself here..."

"Master Wei, let's not mention this for now..." Fortunately, under Yao Guangxiao's reminder, he still saved his hand.Now, Zhu Su just wanted to torture him, who instigated these people to carry out the sneak attack.Surrounded by Chang Mao and the guards, he was overjoyed when he saw the figures entangled in the fishing net.

Unexpectedly, a big fish was caught!
He looked at the slightly petite figure in the fishing net who was protected by a group of people and tried to lower his head.

"Hey, isn't this an old acquaintance of this king? How about it, does the feeling of soaking in the river feel good?"

"Sister Human Trafficker? Or, should I call you: Princess Chen Han, Chen Hui?"
