These yamen runners and guards only know some mediocre skills...
How did it come to this?
Seeing the burly man immersed in self-doubt, Shi Ding reached out and lifted the tarpaulin on one of the carriages.
Under the tarpaulin were neatly stacked sacks, each of which was filled to the brim.
Shi Ding took the broken knife and cut open one of the sacks.
The contents inside flowed out like water and dripped onto the ground.
However, what flowed out of the sacks continuously was not grain, but yellow soil mixed with sand and gravel, which mixed with the land when it fell to the ground.
The burly man's face turned pale again.
"Letting you know this is just to make you understand before you die." Shi Ding waved his hand, "Tie up all these people and hand them over to the government office for punishment!"
Anyone who robs military supplies will end up dead.
"Yes!" The subordinate responded and immediately stepped forward, tied up the burly man tightly like a dumpling, threw him together with the other robbers, and took them to the nearest city in a carriage.
After picking up all these, Shi Ding ordered someone to bring the pigeon cage over, took out a pigeon, put a note in the copper tube on its leg, and then raised his hand.
The pigeon flapped its wings twice and flew high, and its white figure quickly disappeared into the ribbon-like black night.
One of the pigeons flew straight to Magistrate Luo, who was driving a cart on another road transporting grain and fodder.
After taking the note from the carrier pigeon and examining it carefully, County Magistrate Luo heaved a sigh of relief, his brows lit up with joy.
"Your Excellency is so happy, but have things over there been settled?" asked County Magistrate Song.
"Yes." Magistrate Luo nodded, and then sighed, "I really didn't expect that there would be bandits so bold that they would even set their sights on the military grain and fodder. Fortunately, Princess Ping'an and Miss Lu were smart and clever. They used this deceptive strategy to not only avoid delaying the transportation of grain and fodder, but also catch those bandits in one fell swoop, killing two birds with one stone."
"That's right." County Magistrate Song also echoed, and then he scratched his ear in embarrassment, "To be honest, sir, when Princess Ping'an acted so arrogantly and asked me to take half of the people to look for Miss Lu, I thought Princess Ping'an was cunning and rude, and all her kindness was just a show."
"I never thought that this was actually a plot carefully planned by Princess Ping'an, in order to make those bandits feel at ease and bold to fall into her trap. I really misunderstood Princess Ping'an."
Shame on you, shame on you.
As County Magistrate Song spoke, his face was filled with guilt, and he looked as if he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
The few people who followed him, especially those who had cursed Princess Ping'an and Miss Lu in secret that day, looked at each other and couldn't help but slap themselves a few times...
But no matter how ashamed I was, it would be useless to say more at this moment. I had to put all my shame into my current task.
Princess Ping'an took so much trouble just to ensure that the food and grass at the border could be delivered smoothly, so they must do their best to complete this task! At the same time, another carrier pigeon flew over the city wall of Shimen County and landed in the garden where Su Yujin and Lu Wenjing lived.
Dusong picked up the pigeon, took out the letter and handed it to Qingkui who was guarding the door.
"Miss." Qingkui entered the room, "There is a letter."
"What's going on?" Lu Wenjing became alert when she heard this. "Have all those people been caught?"
"They were caught." Su Yujin smiled, "Shi Ding was very cautious in his work. All the bandits were caught. Not a single one escaped."
"That's good." Lu Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her chest with a smile on her face. "It's worth all my efforts, thanks to Sister Jin's excellent plan."
"I don't want to be modest, but this time I really owe it to you." Su Yujin said with a smile, "If you hadn't discovered the misconduct of these people while wandering outside, and heard from their words that they had more people outside the city, and followed them in disguise, even if I had more plans, I would still be helpless without the ingredients, right?"
Seeing Su Yujin praising her like this, Lu Wenjing felt a little embarrassed. "I just disguised myself as a scholar and pretended to be unreasonable to smear the Lu family's unique tracking powder on the bandits. This is how I can easily find the hiding places of those people by smell."
Only then could he send Shi Ding to follow quietly, learn the whole plan of those bandits, change the actual route of transporting grain and grass, and ensure that the grain and grass needed for the border could be delivered smoothly.
Su Yujin's face was full of smiles. "This is just what you want to eat. It really has done a great job. Just tell me what you want to eat. I will make everything I can and reward you well. How about it?"
When talking about food, Lu Wenjing immediately became energetic, her eyes full of sparkling light, "Since Sister Jin said so, I won't be polite!"
"I want to eat fried dough twists, the newly baked bread that Sister Jin made recently, honey crispy peanuts, and the lamb cake that I didn't get to eat before."
"Oh, yeah, I also want to eat cumin grilled lamb chops, five-spice braised dried tofu, and braised eggs..."
She was very hungry now, and she wanted to eat anything that Sister Jin cooked! "Okay, okay, I'll make it all." Su Yujin agreed with a smile.
The news that Su Yujin and Lu Wenjing had devised a plan to catch the bandits who attempted to rob military supplies soon reached the ears of He Yanxiu, Qin Peiyou and others.
Qin Peiyou nodded repeatedly, "Princess Ping'an has always been extremely intelligent, but it's rare that Miss Lu is also so smart."
"Do you mean Jing'er isn't smart enough?" He Yanxiu glanced at him and joked.
"How could that be? She is as smart as usual, but maybe she is too smart. I always feel that she lacks some calmness. Now it seems that Miss Lu is as calm and thoughtful as Princess Ping'an, which is really impressive." Qin Peiyou added hurriedly.
These words fell into the ears of Lou Yanlin who was standing next to him, causing him to raise his eyebrows.
Miss Lu is indeed very smart, and she is kind, enthusiastic, thoughtful, and gentle...
To be honest, when they were in the capital before, he and Qin Peiyou had almost the same idea. They just thought that Lu Wenjing was a bright and lively person with an outgoing personality.
Such a person is destined to be unstable and very easy to cause trouble.
But after meeting Lu Wenjing again, he found that his previous views were wrong.
Although Lu Wenjing is bright and lively, she is also calm and steady. What is even more rare is that she is kind and willing to work hard. Now she is also cunning and strategic...
Lou Yanlin was lost in thought and didn't even hear He Yanxiu calling him twice.
I received a call at around 9 o'clock and handled work until nearly 11 o'clock. I was completely emo. I was supposed to take my kids back to my parents' house this Saturday, but my boss said I might be away on a business trip at any time, which made me even more emo... It's not that working people have hard work, it's that their fate is hard...o(╥﹏╥)o
