The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan found out that Jiang Chi was attacked by bandits and was rescued and brought back to the capital. It can be said that all the changes that happened to Jiang Chi were due to the banditry in some deep mountains in the southern part of the capital.

Previously, Ye Xiaohan had also sent people to deal with the bandit problem within Zhongyue, and the effect was very significant.

But since he went on expeditions in the past few years, he has focused most of his attention on the battlefield, leaving only some energy on the capital.

The emperor of Zhongyue's reign had no intention or time to take care of the ordinary bandit problem. He was only thinking about resisting the enemy and finding an opportunity to kill the regent Zhongyue who was becoming more and more popular.

There were some people in the court who wanted to solve the bandit problem, but they did not receive strong support.

Officials who do not want to deal with the bandit problem allow their subordinates to ignore people's livelihood issues and only care about their own safety.

Anyway, no matter what, the bandits will not be able to come into the capital to cause harm to them. At the same time, they are powerful and the bandits cannot easily do anything to them.

Those corrupt and ruthless officials all think like this: as long as they are fine, other people, especially the lower-class people, are not important.

The bandit problem in Zhongyue became more and more serious.

After Ye Xiaohan returned to the court, many bandits were more obedient because they were afraid of the Night King. But after learning that the Night King was injured, they started to stir up their previous small movements, and even made them bigger and bigger.

Jiang Chi wanted to go to Beijing from Jiangnan to do business, and he was attacked by a group of unknown bandits on the way.

After Ye Xiaohan learned about the rampant bandits, he immediately sent people to start a bandit suppression operation.

What Yun Mujiu now knows is the situation reported back from the front.

For this bandit suppression operation, Ye Xiaohan ordered his subordinates to take action and specially sent General Yang Wu to the deep mountains south to carry out the bandit suppression operation.

A guard continued to report that General Yang Wu had returned victorious today. Several places in the southern part of the capital where bandits appeared had all been visited by soldiers from the Night King's Palace, and the bandit problem had been completely resolved.

Dong Yu stood behind Yun Mujiu, raised her eyebrows, and asked confusedly: "General Yang Wu?"

Yun Mujiu explained: "He was the general who won a place in the hunting competition during the last Spring Outing Banquet."

Dong Yu and the other little girls immediately reacted, "I remember now."

General Yang Wu was a general under the Night King, and a fourth-rank general in the court. It was perfect for the Night King to send him to lead his soldiers to suppress the bandits.

Yun Mujiu suddenly thought of a fat man and asked, "The fat man in Dali Temple hasn't made any movement."

Butler Zeng looked at the soldier who delivered the message, then turned to look at Yun Mujiu.

"Could it be that the princess is talking about Lord Xu? The official who failed to do his job properly when the princess and her newlyweds were attacked by assassins?"

Yun Mujiu nodded, "That's right. When that person was forced to receive the body of the black-clad assassin sent by the Night Palace, he still wanted to burn the body to destroy the evidence. He is really wicked and insidious."

Yun Mujiu started to complain, and Fusang, who was always a bit like his master, followed up and said, "That's right! That fat guy didn't even want to send troops to our palace to suppress the riot, and he's just pretending to be a dead pig!"

Yun Mujiu held his forehead with his hand, and the others followed suit. Fusang, you are a beautiful girl, why do you speak so rudely like a fierce man?

The emperor once instigated a group of people to cause trouble in front of the Night Prince's Mansion. Even though the people from the Night Prince's Mansion went to report the case early, no one from the government office came to stabilize the situation.

At this moment, everyone in the room also remembered that person.

That was the legendary pig, namely, Lord Xu, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

The faction that Lord Xu belongs to is under the name of the emperor. He is the emperor's running dog and always keeps a close eye on various orders issued by the emperor.

In fact, Yun Mujiu and others had never seen Lord Xu in person, but they could imagine how fat Lord Xu looked from the oral accounts of other people. This person was just a figurehead, with no outstanding merits, and was just a puppet of the emperor.

Like Yun Mujiu and others, Suixi had never met Lord Xu.

Then he asked, "Why do I feel like I haven't heard anything about him recently? Is he dead?"

"Guess." Yun Mujiu smiled, and Fusang said, "He's not dead, is he? If he was dead, he would have died of fat. Before our Night King asked him to suppress the riot, didn't he pretend to be a dead pig and refused to come?"

Fusang's words are becoming more and more rough now, with a bit of Yun Mujiu's temperament. Yun Mujiu has a calm personality, but he also gets crazy sometimes.

Yun Mujiu explained to everyone: "I told the prince that this person is not dead at all. He was a court official before, but he always did his job poorly, which even offended the prince. When he did not send soldiers to maintain order at the gate of the Night Palace, the prince sent people to teach him a lesson shortly afterwards."

It was that lesson that

Lord Xu experienced a severe beating, after which he remained bedridden, with another official acting on his behalf.

Xu

Lord Xu was saved, but living was more painful than dying. Even though he knew it was someone from the Night Palace who did it, he didn't dare to go to the Night Palace to ask for an explanation.

And although he was the emperor's man, the emperor would never confront the Night King for a small official. Moreover, Lord Xu, a court official, owed a debt to the Night King's mansion.

Lord Xu lay in bed for several months, and no news about him was leaked. He was not dead, but lying in bed was more painful than being dead.

Yun Mujiu didn't say anything more after she finished talking about Lord Xu's situation, because she didn't know what happened next. The original Marble Shaoqing didn't get his job back, which proved that his illness had not been well treated. He hadn't recovered from his injuries at all, so how could he reappear in the government office?

Yun Mujiu asked the guard who reported the news again, and then learned accurately that the bandit suppression operation had come to an end.

Now, on the one hand, Ye Xiaohan successfully solved a major crisis that was harmful to people’s livelihood and the country.

Secondly, while strangling the bandits, they could also capture the captives to find out some useful information, including the fact that Jiang Chi was beaten and robbed by the bandits. With the help of the witnesses at that time, they in the Night Palace could further investigate Jiang Chi's identity as a Jiangnan businessman.

Thirdly, eliminating the dangerous hidden danger of the bandits can also add a peaceful force to the situation in Zhongyue in the future. Because it is expected that in a few months, wars between countries will break out again, and then there will be dangers in the country. Instead of spending energy to solve one hidden danger after another at that time, it is better to do the advance work now and clear all the potential hidden dangers one by one.

After Yun Mujiu finished his analysis, he subconsciously glanced at Butler Zeng.

The latter old man lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
