Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

The waiting time is destined to be long.

During this period, Chen Shao found Gu Feiyan again and said straight to the point: "I'm going to be away for a while, and I need you to cover for me."

"Mengshe Smelting Prison is not far from Shan State. Someone will come in six or seven days at most." Gu Feiyan said, "If you want to go out, I won't stop you. Just tell me, how long do you want to be out?"

Chen Shao knew that the Shan State would arrive soon, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. The letter was sent out only two days ago, and it will arrive in at most six or seven days?

Chen Shao questioned: "I went out for urgent matters, please don't fool me."

Gu Feiyan said: "Then tell me, what's the urgent matter that you need to go out for?"

Chen Shao smiled: "So you were waiting for me here."

"I'm not waiting for you here," Gu Feiyan said with a smile, "I didn't lie to you when I said that someone from Shan would come in six or seven days at most. Think about it, if you were one of the armed forces of Shan, would you dare not come even if you knew I was lying? Or would you dare to come hesitantly?"

Chen Shao nodded: "I really don't dare."

They are in a competitive relationship. If you don't come, someone else will. If you come, if the matter is true, you will be the one who gets beaten.

No one wants to be the one who gets beaten, so even if they know there is a trap, they still have to come.

This is why they invited them so widely.

"Since you understand, then tell me what you are going to do outside?" Gu Feiyan changed the subject at the right time.

Chen Shao had no intention of hiding it from her, so he told her the truth.

She went out with the intention of visiting those county towns that had not yet been controlled by Luo Wanyou, to see if she could persuade them to work for her.

Since we have to eradicate the influence of the previous dynasty's princelings in Jiannan Road, we must eradicate it as completely as possible.

But now, all the people she could use have been deployed, and for the time being, she really couldn't spare more manpower to search for the prince's party forces of the previous dynasty.

She couldn't even find anyone to verify the nearly two hundred people that Zhou Shan had reported as being scattered across the counties and serving as Luo Wanyou's spies.

According to her original plan, these nearly two hundred people were to be encircled and suppressed using the Shan State's armed forces.

But leaving everything to others is not her style.

Even if we want to use the Shan State's armed forces to solve the problem, we must first find out the whereabouts of these people with our own people, and then use them to encircle and suppress them at specific points after the Shan State people arrive.

After hearing her words, Gu Feiyan nodded in agreement, "If we want to act at the same time and catch the former princelings off guard, then we really need to have someone watching over us, so that we can feel more at ease."

"The princelings of the previous dynasty have been developing in Jiannan Road for so many years. What we have found so far is most likely just the tip of the iceberg. We can use the Fuyuan crossbow to incite rebellion against the Shan Kingdom. If we really have to rely on the Shan Kingdom to encircle and suppress the forces of the princelings of the previous dynasty, then the princelings of the previous dynasty may follow suit and use the Shenbi crossbow to incite rebellion against the Shan Kingdom again."

By that time, the Shan army had already entered the territory of Datong, and they had the prince's party from the previous dynasty to support them. With the few people they had, they would have trouble saving themselves, let alone expelling them.

"However," Gu Feiyan changed the subject and continued, "Shan Country is unreliable. If you go out to look for people now, it is difficult to guarantee that they are reliable."

Chen Shao smiled and said, "It's very simple to ensure that they are reliable."

Gu Feiyan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in tacit understanding, "Pledge system?"

Without waiting for Chen Shao to answer, she continued, "In that case, there are still sixteen counties that have not joined the Prince's Party of the previous dynasty. Do you plan to visit all of them, or just visit a few nearby ones?"

Chen Shao said: "With only six or seven days, we can only visit a few nearby places."

Gu Feiyan thought about it and suggested: "Since we are sending a few people nearby, then we can send one or two. If they know what is happening, we can ask them to send someone to contact the rest."

"That's what I think," Chen Shao said. "In addition, if there is enough time, I also plan to go to Nanxi County or Yuexi County. I think they understand the current situation of the former prince's party. If they are willing to give up the dark and join the light, I can give them a chance to reform."

"It's definitely too late," Gu Feiyan said, "Just go one by one."

"Okay." Chen Shao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Now that you've made the decision, let's go." Gu Feiyan urged, "It's best to come back within five days."

Chen Shao smiled: "Okay."

Because the operation was secret, Chen Shao only brought Fu Jiu, Chan Yi, eight elite soldiers and Zhou Shan.

After it got dark, the group quietly went down the mountain under the cover of darkness.

Chen Shao plans to go to Nanxi County first.

However, after coming down the mountain, she did not go to Nanxi County immediately, but went to Hewei Village first.

Hewei Village is the village where Yang Shun, Chen Ping and Liu Jinzhong had previously hidden.

Two days ago, after she sent out the secret letter ordering the elite troops to take action, three people were arrested that night.

The three were arrested secretly and the news was not leaked.

Therefore, the "bandits" from that county who were entrenched on the Panling Ridge not far from Hewei Village and planned to rescue the brothers Sun Shoushan and Sun Shoulin were still hiding there.

Chen Shao's purpose of this trip is to deal with them.

When the people from Shan State arrive, it will be the time to completely encircle and suppress the princelings of the previous dynasty. To prevent them from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, it is better to get rid of them in advance.

After meeting the twenty elite soldiers who were monitoring them at Bipanling, Chen Shao asked, "Where are they?"

After the elite soldiers answered, Chen Shao signaled Fu Jiuqian to go over and find out the situation.

A little later, Fu Jiu came back like a nighthawk, saying quietly, "There were about sixty or seventy people, eating meat and drinking, and they were already staggering."

"There are only 30 of us, and we have to deal with 60 to 70 of them. Each of us has to deal with two." Chen Shao glanced at the elite soldiers. "With our skills, this is naturally not a difficult task. So this time, we have to make a quick decision!"

All the elite soldiers answered yes in unison.

Chen Shao added: "I am an amateur in fighting, so I won't give orders blindly."

He looked up at the moon, then at the shadows of the trees: "It's almost three quarters past midnight. Two quarters of an hour, gather here and move!"

The one hundred elite soldiers who came with Gu Feiyan had rich combat experience. At Chen Shao's command, the twenty-eight men disappeared into the forest like black smoke.

Fu Jiu also wanted to go, but seeing that only Chan Yi and Zhou Shan were with Chen Shao, she held back despite scratching her head.

Chen Shao said: "Go if you want to."

"I can't go!" Fu Jiu said as she quickly walked a few steps up the mountain, hugged a tall tree, and looked towards the top of the mountain.

Chen Shao also walked a few steps up the mountain and looked towards the top of the mountain with him.

Zhou Shan didn't know who they were going to deal with, but seeing that they were all looking at the top of the mountain, he couldn't help but look towards the top of the mountain out of curiosity.

Chan Yi stood three steps away from him. Although she was also looking at the top of the mountain, her eyes never left him.

It would be fine if he had no ulterior motives. If he did, Chan Yi would kill him on the spot immediately.

The moon is very big tonight.

The moonlight shone through the treetops, falling on the few people in patches.

The wind blows through the branches and leaves, making a rustling sound, like an hourglass, pushing time forward bit by bit.

"They're back!" After an unknown amount of time, Fu Jiu let go of Gao Shu and took a few steps forward.

blink.

The elite soldiers appeared one after another and stood in front of Chen Shao.

Chen Shao didn't ask anything, turned around and walked down the mountain, saying, "Let's go."

The elite soldiers followed her closely, and soon left Shupanling.

At the same time on the next day, when he appeared again, he had arrived at Kaibian County of Nanxi County.

The county magistrate of Kaibian County was named Du Zhenbian. His subordinates were named Dong Weiwu and the county lieutenant Lu Bogui.

Chen Shao met them at Shimenzhang.

They were kidnapped by Fu Jiu and several elite soldiers while they were sleeping.

The walls of Shimenzhan Mountain are steep and the rocks are rugged.

The three men were robbed and were scared to death. They were thrown onto the stone wall in the air on the top of the mountain. They were even more horrified when they saw Chen Shao.

Chen Shao's gaze fell quietly on the three people, and he did not speak for a long time.

Until the three of them knelt on the ground trembling, kowtowed and said: "Your humble servant greets you, sir."

Chen Shaocai nonchalantly withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "Half a month ago, I received a report that the three of you had defected to Luo Wanyou and were planning to rebel with him. Tell me, is this true?"
