Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 242 Chaos
The people of Jiaozhou could not speak the same language, but it was easy to find information about pirates. Looking at the pirate leader in front of her, who was talking incomprehensible words, Xie Xian was too lazy to say more.
The man had a flat nose and a broad forehead, and looked like a Jiaozhou native. The translator at the side came forward and said, "My lady, this Jabba said that there is a royal noble behind them, and he said that you cannot kill him."
Yongji sneered: "He is just a dog of the King of Linyi. What a nobody. If it weren't for the fact that their boats are pretty good..."
Xie Xian glanced at him and Yongji quickly shut up.
"Excuse me, where do these two ships come from?" Xie Xian pointed at the two ships next to them. The ships were not big, much smaller than the eight-slot ships. These pirates really couldn't have too high requirements.
Apart from a 100-meter-long three-masted sailing ship and a 20-meter-long shuttle, the rest could hardly be called ships, they were only slightly better than sampans, and Xie Xian suspected that a slightly larger wave would be able to throw them into the sea.
No wonder they didn't encounter any of them after wandering around in the open sea for a long time. With the equipment they had, they could only shuttle between nearby islands, and it would be difficult if they were a little far away from the land.
After working hard for five or six days, the other party could only see two ships, which made Xie Xian, who was full of expectations, a little disappointed.
"Your Majesty, you are so poor. Even the King of Linyi lives in a wooden house!" Someone advised. Although Xie Xian was looking for pirates along the way, she still met many sea people. They were all forced to flee overseas.
But when they saw that it was a Great Xia ship and learned that it was a noble lady from a noble family going out for training, they were naturally more enthusiastic as they were isolated in the open sea and saw the Xia people.
Xie Xian would not let them help in vain. Although there were many ethnic minorities in Jiaozhou, the area was vast and sparsely populated. Once the eight-slot ships appeared, those arrogant and domineering natives immediately became obedient.
After rescuing a number of oppressed sea dwellers, Xie Xian thought about it and decided to put them in Yizhou. More people would help them protect themselves.
The pirates in the south are not worth it. Next time I can only look to the north.
Xie Xian was surfing the sea, unaware that Kuaiji County was in turmoil because of a small fish she released.
The eldest princess somehow got into a quarrel with the waiter of Prince Yu's mansion, causing Prince Xiang to come and help. As a result, the disappearance of Prince Yu's Prince Li Zheng could no longer be suppressed.
The nobles were in an uproar, "I heard that this matter is related to the Beggars' Sect!"
Someone whispered.
Hearing the word "Beggars' Gang", many locals showed disgust on their faces: "These stinky bugs, they have made the county town filthy. The Liuxiang Street is full of filth and no one dares to let their wives and daughters go out."
"Yeah! It was better in previous years, but since...it has become more and more blatant." Someone exchanged glances implicitly.
The hottest topic in the teahouse these days is the disappearance of Prince Yu's son Li Zheng.
"You said that Prince Xiang is in favor of sending troops to eliminate the Beggars' Sect, but the Princess's Mansion is forcing it not to do so!" This is really eye-opening.
"That's not all. I heard that the Prince of Yu disappeared from the Princess's Villa. What do you think..."
The following words can only be understood but not expressed in words, but the eldest princess who was once high and mighty in people's hearts has now fallen from the altar.
"Ridiculous! It's just a Beggars' Gang. Is Li Xi crazy? Look at what people are saying outside, and she is still not happy?" Li You was also a little impatient at this moment.
He didn't want to get involved, but he had to come to maintain the royal family's reputation. "Hasn't the person been found yet?"
"If Uncle Wang hadn't asked me to do so, I wouldn't want to get involved in this matter." Li Xi is only a few years older than Li You. Although Li You has to call her aunt based on seniority, Li Xi does not have a good reputation because of her own selfish desires.
Moreover, there is Emperor Qi in between, and the younger generations like Li You do not like the eldest princess.
Seeing that his master was angry, Bu Yu hurriedly added new tea and said, "This is the princess's fiefdom. It is natural for the gangs on the ground to work for the princess, but the most important thing is to find the young master back."
Li You snorted coldly, "After so many days, we have already found clues, but my good aunt has not taken any action. Has she been in the South for too long and has she lost her mind because of the coaxing of her lovers?"
"This good dog is about to devour its master, and yet it is still hesitating!" In Li You's opinion, the Beggars' Gang knew the news about the prince. As a dog of Li Xi, he could not share the worries of his master. Instead, several days had passed and Li Zheng had not been found. It was clear that the Beggars' Gang was probably not so loyal.
On the carpet in the outer compartment, Wu Daozhi no longer had the composure he had in the past few days. He knelt on the ground in a slightly embarrassed manner.
After hearing the call, he trembled and went inside to reply: "Sir, the bald man has confessed that he sent the two young men to the old Qiantou, the beggar gang's forger, in exchange for twenty taels of silver."
When they pulled the man out of the gambling house, the bald-headed guy had been beaten black and blue, but he seemed to have expected this and told them everything they asked.
But when they went to the dilapidated temple, they only found the prince's hairband in the doghouse, and the other clues were lost.
Li You suppressed his anger and said, "Since we have confirmed that they are from the Beggars' Sect, let's check them one by one."
Li Daozhi looked embarrassed: "We are already investigating. However, this Beggar Gang has a large number of members, and the gang's dens are hard to find." He now understood that this Beggar Gang was ruined. He heard that some high-ranking officials had already started to flee. This was what the princess wanted to see. All he could do now was to delay as much as possible.
The high-ranking members of the Beggars' Sect had been beaten to a pulp yesterday, but the brokers below are only a branch of the Beggars' Sect. On weekdays, there are only a few dens that are open to the public, and it is difficult to say how many there are exactly.
This old Qiantou disappeared with Li Zheng, not for business. He took his people to search the entire Kuaiji upside down but couldn't find him. He almost suspected that this old Qiantou was from some other force.
Li You ignored his embarrassment and just said lightly: "You take care of yourself." After this incident, Li Daozhi was considered useless. The eldest princess failed to fulfill her duty, and as a member of the royal family, she could only reprimand her a few words. However, someone had to take the blame afterwards, and King Yu needed to vent his anger.
Apparently Li Daozhi had also thought of this. He knelt on the ground, sweating profusely. At this moment, Bu Yu came in and whispered, "Sir, Huang Ying, the eunuch of Prince Yu's Palace, wants to see you."
Li You waved his hand and let someone in.
Although Huang Ying looked haggard, he was now dressed neatly, obviously having taken care of himself, compared to the panic and tears he had shed when he first saw Li You.
Bu Yu nodded imperceptibly, and it was obvious that this colleague had figured it out.
"Your Highness, I heard that Lord Wu was having trouble tracking down the gangsters' den. I just happened to get this the other day. I hope I can do my best to help."
Huang Ying handed over a piece of thin paper with both hands, and Bu Yu stepped forward to take it.
Li You opened it and took a closer look, his eyes full of amusement: "Eunuch Huang, if the above is true, it can help solve our urgent problem."
