The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"That village is as impenetrable as water can't be poured in, and a needle can't be inserted into it. It really surprises me!"

After listening to Shui Rong's words, Mr. Wu Zhai nodded slightly and said,

"Your Highness is right in your concern, but this also demonstrates your unique foresight!"

"Such a capable chess piece will be of great use in the future!"

Shui Rong smiled and waved his hands, thought for a moment, and said with a hint of worry,

"However, I asked people to push for the mobilization of the Jinling Imperial Guards to suppress the bandits, and His Majesty actually agreed, and did not insist on mobilizing the Beijing troops."

"Sir, do you think there might be something in here..."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wuzhai's smile slowly faded and he began to think deeply.

Shui Rong saw his fishing rod move on the water surface, and hurriedly pulled it hard, but the rod came back empty-handed; the fish was off the hook.

Suddenly frowned,

"This fish took my bait, but refused to take the bait. How can this be justified?"

Mr. Wuzhai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately bowed to Shui Rong and said,

"Your Highness, this fish in your mansion has been deeply influenced by you every day. Naturally, it also knows that all fish have invisible hooks after being caught!"

Shui Rong paused slightly, turned his head and looked at Mr. Wuzhai with a little surprise.

"Sir, you mean to say..."

Mr. Wuzhai closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Shui Rong frowned, still a little bit incredulous.

"But, that's the imperial army, at least tens of thousands of people, right? How could he..."

Mr. Wuzhai waved his hand and said,

"Even if they belong to the imperial court, how many troops can he mobilize? In this situation, if he wants to seize control of the army, the more chaos he creates, the better! If he really wants to take advantage of a bandit attack to seize military power and overthrow the Beijing camp, what would a mere ten thousand men mean?"

"Only in this way can we order the Ministry of Revenue to raise funds to prepare and train a new army, so that it can be put to good use!"

Shui Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression flickered.

Mr. Wuzhai continued,

"Your Majesty, if some chess pieces are beyond your control, it's better to do it as soon as possible..."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand pulling down like a knife.

Shui Rong raised his hand to interrupt Mr. Wu Zhai.

After thinking for a long time, he slowly put down his hand and said,

"After all, they are just chess pieces. As long as we can exchange important pieces at the critical moment, why do we need to control them?"

Then he hummed softly and looked at the small stove where tea was being boiled.

"Humph! I finally understand why he told me not to take any action. These civil servants are truly wicked. No matter what, they can stand firm like a tumbler."

Mr. Wuzhai's face twitched slightly and he coughed twice in embarrassment.

Upon hearing this, Shui Rong bowed to Mr. Wu Zhai and said,

"My words were spoken carelessly, Mr. Wuzhai, please forgive me!"

Mr. Wuzhai waved his hand.

"Your Highness, you are too kind! I have been dismissed for many years. Fortunately, Your Highness trusts me!"

"However, everyone has desires and wants. This way, we can better serve the prince!"

Shui Rong smiled and nodded, and was about to speak,

Suddenly I noticed the fishing rod move.

He immediately said happily: "The fish is hooked!"

Mr. Wuzhai said hurriedly,

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It looks like a big fish. It won't be too late to give it a try!"

"OK!"

……

In Jinling City, Xue Mansion.

The whole Xue family was in a state of panic. Finally, one day, a timid man outside the door threw a stone wrapped in an envelope at the gate and turned around and ran away.

Menzi was furious and wanted to chase after him.

He happened to meet Butler Zhang who was about to go to the government office to inquire about the news.

Butler Zhang picked up the stone, opened the paper outside and took a look. His expression suddenly changed.

He quickly gave orders to his attendants.

"Guard the gate. If you see anyone acting strangely, report to me immediately!"

He turned around and quickly returned to the mansion.

In the backyard hall.

Xue Baochai held a bowl of medicine and served her mother.

"Mom, the Xue family is so big now, but it all depends on you to support it. You must not collapse. Take this soup first, okay?"

Xue's mother covered her face with a towel and cried,

"It's all your fault, you evil creature! I usually spoiled you, and now look what's happened. It's been two days and there's still no news."

"The government is full of idiots! They've kidnapped everyone and there's been no news for two days. God knows if your brother will ever come back!"
