Chapter 674: Alerting the Snake
Pingzhou, Changli
Jiang Yizhou walked in with a report in his hand, his face beaming with joy. "Governor, good news!"
Lu Songli put down the book in her hand and looked up at him, "What good news?"
"The Sun family army has successfully entered the north of Changshan. Shangquyang and Nanxingtang counties are both under our control."
"Very good." Xie Zhan hit the dog with a meat bun, and Sun Jiajun swallowed the meat bun in one gulp.
"Also, the spy Xie Yangui and his cronies have been captured."
"Good!" After the Sun family army took over Shangquyang and Nanxingtang, Lu Songli knew that Xie Yangui would not have a good ending.
At this point, they finally pulled out the nail.
Xie Yangui, after following the Sun family army to Pingzhou, has never done anything detrimental to Pingzhou. It is impossible for them to convict a small general for no reason.
You can't just say they suspect Xie Yangui is a member of Xie Zhan's clan and convict him, right? Even in later generations, there's still the principle that solitary evidence alone cannot convict.
"In addition, the two children of the Qin family have been rescued." Jiang Yizhou reported the good news one by one.
"That's good." Lu Songli was also very concerned about the safety of his two nephews.
"However, the situation was urgent at the time, and General Qin Sheng used explosives and Molotov cocktails..." Jiang Yizhou reported the situation truthfully.
After listening to the report, Lu Songli nodded.
She knew very well that neither the situation in Changli nor the situation on the front lines remained static. When unexpected events occurred, their plans would also need to change accordingly.
No matter how powerful a weapon is, it is developed to be used.
Equipping Qin Sheng and his men with gunpowder and Molotov cocktails is a trump card, designed to prevent Hou Shuang and his men from colluding with their counterparts to set up a big scheme, so that our own personnel will not be helpless when necessary.
Although these two weapons were not used as a trump card as she had previously imagined, plans were plans, and when unexpected events occurred, they still had to be used.
Moreover, Qin Heng has already made corresponding preparations, and she also agreed that if these two weapons are exposed in advance, the benefits will be maximized directly.
…
Tian, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and her mother and sister-in-law from her natal family slowly left the city in a large carriage.
"Master Xu is arresting people again."
Being bored in the carriage, Mrs. Mo held the child and leaned against the carriage window to look at the scenery outside. She happened to see Xu Zheng personally taking someone away.
Accidents happened frequently in Pingzhou during this period, and the officers and soldiers of various government offices were extremely busy, arresting people, arresting people, and arresting people!
Lu Songli and others intended to take this opportunity to carry out a major purge.
We need to clean up those people who are in Cao's camp but their hearts are with Han. We can't let them eat Pingzhou's food while thinking about destroying Pingzhou's bowl.
Since these people enjoy the treatment of being Pingzhou citizens, they cannot do anything that harms the interests of Pingzhou.
Because of the recent unrest outside, Tian was also trembling with fear and did not dare to act rashly. He was extremely grateful that he had decided to terminate all plans and actions before.
At this time, she didn't dare to send anyone out to confirm whether her orders had been implemented, for fear of being discovered.
She came out today because she was bored staying at home, and her mother invited her to go to the temple to burn incense, so she agreed.
After finally coming out to take a breath, she encountered this scene on the road. She was immediately upset, "Sister-in-law, please draw the curtains. Those people are so ferocious and they are scaring the children."
Tian's eldest sister-in-law, Mo, didn't think this was scary at all, but seeing her sister-in-law's insistence, she lowered the curtain, saying, "It's good that Lord Xu has arrested these suspicious people."
No matter what, it's a good thing for ordinary people like them, Madam Mo muttered.
"Do you think they are arresting people just for the sake of the common people?" Tian said unhappily.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Her daughter's reaction made Mrs. Tian's heart tremble.
Later, after her eldest daughter-in-law went to the temple to pay her respects, Old Lady Tian sent the servants out of the house and said to her daughter, "The governor is about to give birth. If she returns to the Lu Mansion, you should try not to get close to her." She said this as a reminder and also as a warning, for she was afraid that her daughter would get confused.
Old Mrs. Tian used respectful titles to address Lu Songli.
Since coming to Pingzhou, she had met Lu Songli several times when she went to Lu's house to visit her daughter. Although Lu Songli was very approachable every time they met, Mrs. Tian did not dare to treat her as just her daughter's sister-in-law.
"Mom, what do you mean?" Tian couldn't stand it anymore. Everyone came to criticize her!
"Mother is talking to you because she doesn't want you to get confused." Their Tian family is completely dependent on the Lu family to have the situation they have today...
"Don't worry, your daughter is not confused. Besides, what good will it do me if I do something to her?"
"I'm glad you understand." Mrs. Tian stopped there, afraid her daughter would get impatient if she talked too much, so she quickly changed the subject. "How come your stomach hasn't moved since you came to Pingzhou? Go burn some more incense for the Buddha later."
Tian responded sullenly.
Zhuozhou
Qin Sheng learned that Xian Feng sent Qin Han to Zhuozhou for treatment, and also sent Qin Yu there.
Seeing that the two children were safe and sound, Qin Heng felt relieved.
"Qin Han is a lucky kid. Hou Shuang's kick only hit his stomach. If it had hit his ribs a little higher, it would have been bad." The military doctor said as he examined Qin Han's injuries.
However, overall, Hou Shuang's kick still injured the child's stomach and intestines, and Qin Han needs to rest for a while.
After settling the two children, Qin Sheng reported the details of his rescue to Qin Heng, "...Brother, this is the situation."
Qin Sheng explained the situation clearly. He had gone downstream to search for Qin Yu, while Zhu Dazhuang and his men were finishing up the search and finishing off Hou Shuang and the others to ensure no one escaped.
But because Zhongshan City was across the Yao River, and he heard that there would be support from the other side, and the explosion of the explosives was very loud, he was not sure whether anyone in Dali would notice it.
Qin Heng nodded to show that he understood.
"General Qin Heng, is there anything else I need you to do?" After rescuing the people and explaining the matter, Qin Sheng planned to return to Changli to accompany his wife.
Qin Heng looked at his eagerness to return home, coughed lightly, and said, "The governor sent a message saying that she's not well yet, so you should go back later."
Qin Sheng: A bolt from the blue!
No, he rushed over and was finally ready to return, but his wife gave him a slap in the face?
"If you go back too early, you'll alert the enemy."
Lu Songli planned to wait and see for a while, to let those monsters and demons show up first. Besides, she could handle it.
His wife sent him messages more than once asking him not to worry.
Is he so worthless?
Wait, his wife said that if he goes back too early it will alert the enemy?
Qin Sheng's eyes turned, and he thought of a solution. Does that mean that as long as he doesn't alert the enemy, he can go back early?
