Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

The two sides just left with their horses.

One after another, five more teams arrived.

Chen Shao did not show favoritism. He followed the entire process of receiving the General Zhendong and the General Huoqi, and then sent them away.

The remaining five teams also arrived one after another in the next five or six days.

After arranging everyone out, Chen Shao looked at the letter sent by Dong Weiwu and tapped the armrest twice.

The nearly 200 spies of Luo Wanyou that Zhou Shan confessed to were distributed throughout Jiannan Road.

When she arranged Du Zhenbian, Dong Weiwu and others to find these spies, she deliberately arranged their search range to be far and near. The same was true when arranging Lu Pu, Zhao Senduo and others.

This letter from Dong Weiwu was sent by students from Kaibian County School.

The content of the letter was very simple. A spy they had just found was killed two days ago.

Chen Shao assigned the spies in Kaibian County to the last group of Shan armed forces that arrived.

In other words, after so many days, Dong Weiwu, Du Zhenbian and Lu Bogui were still wandering around Kaibian County.

After tapping the handrail twice again, Chen Shao raised his eyes and looked at the student who delivered the letter.

The student was very nervous. The moment he met her gaze, his face flushed and he lowered his head.

Chen Shao curled his lips and asked, "Did Master Dong send you to deliver the letter?"

The student nodded.

Chen Shao: "Why did Lord Dong ask you to deliver a letter to him?"

The student stumbled over the reason.

Du Zhenbian, Dong Weiwu and Lu Bogui assigned the yamen runners to search for informants who were a little further away, and assigned the students of the county school to search for informants who were a little closer.

The student who delivered the letter was one of the students who followed Dong Weiwu to look for someone.

Perhaps he had received special instructions from Dong Weiwu before coming. After the student finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then said, "Not only did Lord Du, Lord Dong, and Lord Lu ask for help from the county school students, but the lords from the neighboring counties did the same."

Chen Shao nodded, "I understand, you can go back."

When the student heard that she didn't care about Dong Weiwu's bad impression of him, he immediately felt relieved. After thanking her politely, he turned around and left.

"Wait a moment." Chen Shao stopped him again and told Fu Jiu, "Take him to eat first, and then prepare some dry food for him to eat on the way."

The student's heart, which had been tense, slowly settled down, and he was also moved. He turned around, bowed deeply to Chen Shao, and then followed Fu Jiu.

Wait until he goes away.

Chen Shao's gaze fell back on the letter.

It is foreseeable that there will be more and more letters like this in the future.

The more letters there are, the faster the thirteen armed forces of Shan State are moving.

She couldn't just sit here and wait for news.

She had to take advantage of this opportunity and do something else.

"Where is General Gu?" Chen Shao asked, looking up.

Chan Yi glanced outside and replied with a smile, "He must have taken that group of people to the weapons depot again."

With the arrival of the armed forces of Shan State, Gu Feiyan did not continue to defuse the bomb. Knowing that Chen Shao would keep an eye on the various encirclement and suppression situations, she took the initiative to take on the task of entertaining them.

"Go and see if you can get her to come back." Chen Shao ordered.

Chan Yi glanced at the letter on the table and asked tentatively, "Master, are you going out again?"

Chen Shao smiled: "Why do you say that?"

"It seems that I guessed right." Chan Yi smiled and went out to look for someone.

After two cups of tea.

When Gu Feiyan came back and entered the military tent, the first thing she said was: "Tell me, where are we going this time?"

Chen Shao looked at Chan Yi.

Chan Yi smiled and said, "Sir, you really wronged me. I didn't say anything."

Gu Feiyan looked at the two of them: "What did you say?"

Chan Yi then repeated what she had said before she went to see her.

After listening to this, Gu Feiyan looked at Chen Shao with a smile: "What else do you have to say?"

"Nothing to say." Chen Shao joked for a while and changed the subject again. "Since you have all guessed it, I won't beat around the bush. I really want to take advantage of the chaos in Jiannan Road and go to Shu County."

Gu Feiyan nodded: "Since Luo Wanyou is the chief of the prince party in Jiannan Road, and he is also the governor of Shu County, it is reasonable for you to go there while the situation is in chaos. However, all the people I have have been dispatched by you, and now there are only more than ten people I can use. There are still so many people from Shan State here, and there is no guarantee that there are no treacherous people among them. So, I support you to go to Shu County, but you have to find a way yourself."

"I asked you to come here to discuss this matter with you." Chen Shao said, "Earlier, we had speculated that many of the bandits rampant in Jiannan Road were private soldiers of the former prince's party in disguise. From the clues we have found, at least fifteen bandits are. It is unknown whether the remaining bandits are real or not. But I think, regardless of whether they are real or not, do we have a chance to take advantage of it?"

Gu Feiyan asked: "Are you talking about surrender?"

Chen Shao asked: "How feasible do you think it is?"

Gu Feiyan lowered her eyes and thought, and did not speak for a long time.

When she first came to Hongyuan County, she actually thought about recruiting the bandits, but Chen Shao's mind was on eliminating violence and maintaining peace at the time, and the prince's party of the previous dynasty was harming the people under the banner of the general who assisted the country. The rash proposal of recruiting the bandits would inevitably make her think too much.

After arriving at Mengshe Smelting Bureau, various things came one after another and there was no suitable time.

Now, taking advantage of the chaos in Jiannan Road, it is appropriate. However, recruiting people is not just about recruiting them and appeasing them. A series of subsequent arrangements, such as making them fully useful to them, must also be followed up to solve the problem once and for all.

"It's very feasible," Gu Feiyan said as she thought, "but if the news of the amnesty gets out, the bandits who come to join us will inevitably be a mixed bag. It is profitable, but it is also accompanied by many dangers."

"in addition……"

Gu Feiyan thought for a while before speaking again, "I can't leave for the time being. When you raided the Zhu and Gu families in Hongyuan County, you detained two to three thousand people. Make use of the young and strong laborers."

Chen Shao smiled and said, "You reminded me. They said no one was using them, but they locked up so many people and left them doing nothing all day, wasting food."

Gu Feiyan was in no mood to joke: "If you really want to use them, I have a way."

Chen Shao said: "You say."

Gu Feiyan said, "You can divide these two to three thousand people into thirty or forty teams, and let each team elect one person as the captain. Afterwards, the fifteen teams with the most meritorious deeds can have their families forgiven of all sins. In addition, arrange the bandits who come to surrender in the same way, let them compete with each other, and choose one out of ten. That is, if there are only ten teams, the team with the most meritorious deeds will be awarded the official titles of a Zhechou Duwei, a Youguoyi Duwei, and a Zuoguoyi Duwei."

"If you want to completely eradicate the former princelings in Jiannan Road, it will definitely take three to five months. This time is enough for you to investigate the identities of each of them."

"Those with clean backgrounds can be given official positions and sent to protect the peace of Jiannan Road. Those with dirty backgrounds can be eliminated by some means."

Chen Shao's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!"

"That's great indeed." Gu Feiyan agreed. "If we recruit them during peaceful times, we would have to spend a lot of time and effort to rectify the situation. Now that things are turbulent, we don't need to spend too much time on it. We can just let them kill each other."

Suddenly he smiled again and said, "However, you can spend less time worrying, but the risk factor will definitely increase exponentially. I can't leave, so you just take care of yourself. If something really happens, don't worry. For the sake of our acquaintance, I will avenge you."

"Thank you very much." Chen Shao replied.

"You're welcome." Gu Feiyan stood up, "Anything else?"

Although the remaining Shan forces did not have the bloody storm outside, they were fighting fiercely in secret. Before the victory was decided outside, they could not cause any trouble.

So, although she seemed to be idle all day, she actually worked very hard.

"I still need you to spread the news of the amnesty. Let's set the gathering place at the Hongyuan County Governor's Mansion." Chen Shao stood up and accompanied her out of the military tent. He lowered his voice and said, "I plan to leave tonight. I don't need to bring too many people. Fu Jiu, Bao Chengle and Zhou Shan are enough."

Chan Yi was shocked: "Young Master is going to abandon me?"

Gu Feiyan chuckled.

Chen Shao said: "It's not that I want to abandon you, but I have to leave someone with medical skills here just in case."

Even though she knew this, Chan Yi still had a bitter face. After Gu Feiyan left, she glared at Fu Jiu who was gloating over her misfortune, then turned around and went to find Quan Shuyu.

The night is so dark that the moon is not visible.

After Gu Feiyan issued the amnesty order, when all forces were ready to move, Chen Shao rode his horse and quietly left Mengshe Smelting Prison, and rode all the way back to Hongyuan County at full speed.
