Chapter 201: Suppressing Bandits
The couple who were playing chess looked up in confusion.
"Case closed?"
Wen Ying nodded.
"Yes, Lord Su found out that it was written by a bandit who impersonated the Juesha Building to rob it. The explanation given by the jade pendant is that it is possible that the bandit had also stolen from the Gu family that year, so he was caught at the scene of this robbery."
Xiao Fuguang suddenly laughed out of anger.
"This Su Yan is really cunning."
Xuanyuan Jing pondered for a moment.
"Since it is what the bandits said."
Then he placed a piece on the chessboard.
"Then why not let Lord Su suppress the bandits?"
"Wen Ying, tell them it's time to get things done."
Wen Ying heard this and retreated respectfully.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Tai Chi Hall.
Go to court early in the morning.
When Emperor Xuanyuan walked into the Taiji Hall.
All the ministers knelt down respectfully and saluted.
"Your Highness, long live the Emperor."
Emperor Xuanyuan walked to the dragon throne, sat down, and slowly raised his hand.
"My dear ministers, please stand up."
The ministers thanked him respectfully again.
"We thank the Lord for His grace."
The eunuch standing beside the emperor waved his Buddhist whisk and spoke.
"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court."
A minister stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Looking at the old minister standing in the Taiji Hall, who had assisted his father since his reign, Emperor Xuanyuan's tone became a little gentler.
"I would like to hear the details."
The Minister continued.
"Your Majesty, since the Dali Temple has already determined that the Yao family case was committed by bandits, shouldn't we send troops to suppress them for the safety of the people?"
Another minister has already bowed.
"I second your opinion, Your Majesty. The Yao family had nearly a hundred members, yet they were all wiped out by bandits. The Yao family members were killed in Yongcheng, which shows how vicious the bandits are. If we don't send troops to suppress the bandits, the people of Yongcheng will suffer. We don't know when the bandits will come down the mountain to rob us."
Su Yan frowned when he heard this. It was so hard to find such a reason to settle the case. If he sent troops to suppress the bandits, there might be more accidents.
"Your Majesty, the bandits killed so many people, they really deserve to die, but if you send troops to suppress them, you must proceed with caution."
Su Yan stood up, his tone filled with thought.
"The Yao family was tragically annihilated. I am deeply saddened. However, as far as I know, the bandits are entrenched in a strategically located area, making it difficult to attack and easy to defend. Sending troops blindly may not be effective and may even provoke a greater backlash from the bandits, causing even more harm to the surrounding people."
"If you want to suppress the bandits, you need a careful plan."
Another minister stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, Lord Su has solved countless cases since he took office as the Junior Justice of the Dali Temple. He has already solved the Yao family case. Since Lord Su was able to identify the murderer, I believe Lord Su will definitely be able to bring him to justice and give an explanation to the deceased Yao family. In my humble opinion, the task of suppressing the bandits should be handed over to Lord Su."
Su Yan's heart trembled. He didn't expect that the task of suppressing the bandits would fall on him. If he didn't accept it, this matter might fall into the hands of others. If any bandits survived, then the Yao family's case...
If he accepted the order, he would have to go to Yongcheng to suppress the bandits and leave the imperial city, which would give the Regent and Xiao Fuguang an opportunity to take action.
Seeing that Su Yan didn't respond.
Emperor Xuanyuan spoke up to remind him.
"Lord Su!"
Su Yan bowed hurriedly.
"I am here."
Emperor Xuanyuan spoke in a deep voice.
"Are you willing to go to Yongcheng to suppress the bandits?"
What should I do? Ever since my rebirth, I've carefully planned everything, every plan meticulously calculated, so why did I find myself in such a dilemma this time?
“Your humble servant…your humble servant…”
Xuanyuan Jing suddenly stood up.
"Brother Your Majesty, if no one is willing to suppress the bandits, I am willing to lead the troops to suppress them, and capture the bandit leader alive and bring him back to the Imperial City for you to deal with."
The Regent usually doesn't take care of official business, but whenever it comes to sending troops to fight, he still works very hard. Emperor Xuanyuan nodded.
"Well, you lead the troops well..."
The Regent must not be allowed to suppress the bandits, Su Yan quickly stepped forward and spoke.
"emperor."
"They are just small bandits. The Regent is a noble man. Wouldn't it be a waste of his talent to use him to suppress bandits? Since I am responsible for investigating and managing the Yao family's cases, I will leave the task of suppressing the bandits to me."
If Su Yan could wipe out the bandits, he could move up in official rank. Now that the Yao family is gone, he needs a capable assistant in the court. Su Yan is very smart and decisive, Prince Rong stepped forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I also think it would be more appropriate to entrust the matter of suppressing the bandits to Lord Su. After all, the Yao family's case is under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple."
As soon as Prince Rong spoke.
Those ministers who originally stood on Prince Rong's side also bowed.
"Your Majesty, I also think it would be more appropriate to leave the task of suppressing the bandits to Lord Su."
"Your Majesty, they are just a group of bandits. It seems a bit of a waste of talent to ask the regent to personally go and suppress them. Lord Su is more suitable."
"I second this motion."
Emperor Xuanyuan nodded upon seeing this.
"Then Lord Su, lead 10,000 soldiers to Yongcheng to suppress the bandits."
Xuanyuan Jing's lips curled up into a faint smile when he heard this, but it quickly disappeared...
