Chapter 359 Jinyiwei takes action

"Mingfu, something bad has happened. One of our troops who went to intercept the grain transport team of King Wu was encountered by the personal soldiers of King Wu who came to collect the grain, and the grain was not taken back." Gou San said.

"Did anyone fall into their hands alive?" the county magistrate asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, County magistrate, no one fell into their hands, but the grain was transported back to Qingxi by them." Gou San said.

"Mingfu, what should we do now?" asked the rich businessman named Zhang.

"Don't panic, it's just a few carts of grain, how long can they last? Let Li Ke's family stay in Qingxi for a few more days." The county magistrate said nonchalantly. There are

so many refugees in Qingxi, and a few carts of food are not enough for a few days. After a few days, they will still run out of food, and everything will return to the track they expected.

Just think of it as a great mercy, and it won't matter if he stays in Qingxi for a few more days.

"Mingfu, I'm afraid that Li Ke will do something weird in the next few days." The county magistrate said, it's better to be safe than sorry.

I'm afraid that Li Ke will think of some way to deal with it in the next few days, or if he finds some clues, they will be in trouble!

"In my opinion, we should have sent someone to assassinate him at the beginning. As long as he dies, everything will be solved!" said a wealthy businessman named Zhao.

At first, he was in favor of assassinating Li Ke. As long as Li Ke died, it would be all over, and he would die without any evidence. But he was stopped by the county magistrate and others. Now he brought up the old matter again, hoping to convince everyone to take action against Li Ke.

Everyone looked at him with eyes that cared for a mentally retarded child.

He didn't think about it. Now the court was keeping a close eye on Qingxi. If a prince died in Qingxi, what would be the consequences? The emperor was furious and would kill them all to bury Wu Wang Li Ke.

They would not be stupid enough to assassinate a prince. Not to mention the guards around him, if they didn't kill the person and exposed them, it would be bad.

Don't steal the chicken and lose the rice.

The price of assassinating the prince is too high, so high that they cannot afford it. They will not do it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Okay! You don't have to panic. Since His Royal Highness Prince Wu has brought back food, it is a blessing for the people of Qingxi. The people will remember His Royal Highness Prince Wu's kindness!" The county magistrate waved his hand.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and they all thought that the county magistrate had gone crazy.

"Why are you looking at me like that! Why don't you go and inform the victims that Prince Wu has brought back food, why don't you go and get it." The county magistrate slammed the table and said hysterically.

These idiots, why don't they understand what he means, why don't they organize the refugees to grab food.

"Yes!" Everyone stood up, saluted and left.

Everyone came to their senses. It turned out that the county commander wanted them to organize the refugees to steal Li Ke's food. After all, these refugees had been hungry for so long and were not full every day.

Now that there was food in front of them, how could they not steal it? Once they robbed the food, it would inevitably cause panic. As long as they added fuel to the fire, the situation would be completely out of control.

The rich businessman planned to send his servants and retainers to pretend to be refugees, blend in with them, and steal some food.

Everyone left with ulterior motives in mind, and soon a large number of refugees walked in one direction from several refugee gathering places in the city. They were all very eager for food.

As soon as the refugees set out, the secret temporary base of the Jinyiwei on the other side received the news. How could such a big movement be hidden from the Jinyiwei's eyes and ears

? "A large number of refugees were found rioting in the city and were heading in one direction. What should we do now?" asked the handsome captain.

"Who should I ask about this matter? The commander has to decide what to do. We can't act on our own. Let's send someone to keep an eye on them first." Captain Chen said.

"That's the only way. Where is the commander now?" asked the handsome captain.

"He was called by His Royal Highness Prince Wu to discuss something! Almost all the food transport teams sent by Prince Wu were killed, and a lot of food was stolen." Captain Chen said.

He had not thought that Qingxi was such a chaotic place that even officers and soldiers dared to rob and kill. What was even more hateful was that they could not find the lair of these bandits, and even could not find any traces.

It was obvious that they were experts. The traces on the ground were severely destroyed. Ordinary people might not be able to do it.

"You are all here!" Long Zhi walked in from outside.

"Greetings, Commander Long!" The two captains saluted.

"The situation is urgent now. I will not say any more nonsense. You should have known the situation in the city! I will not repeat it."

"They are all heading for the last food transport team of King Wu. In order to ensure the safety of the food, Ah Xiu, you take people to help the food transport team change the route and go back to the city." Long Zhi assigned the task directly in a concise and clear manner.

"As you command!" The handsome captain bowed and left, leaving the base with his men and heading towards the last supply team.

"Didn't you say that I never gave you a chance? Now there's a chance, it depends on whether you dare to do it." Long Zhi said to Captain Chen.

"Commander, just give me your orders. If I frown, you can pull off my head and use it as a night pot." Captain Chen said seriously.

"You should keep your head for yourself. I don't need a night pot. You should keep it and serve the court and be loyal to His Majesty." Long Zhi said. "

Commander Long, what is the mission? Tell me quickly so that I can do it. I've been feeling depressed these days." Captain Chen said.

"Your Highness Prince Wu suspects that the robbery of the food transport team is related to these corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen, but there has been no evidence, and Your Highness Prince Wu can't do anything about them." Long Zhi said.

"Do you mean that you want me to investigate this matter?" Captain Chen asked.

"I have already arranged people to investigate, so you don't have to drive! I have another task for you to do." Long Zhi said.

"Just follow the commander's orders!" Captain Chen clasped his fists.

"You immediately take a team of Jinyiwei masters, find out where this gang hides food, and rob all their food for me!" Long Zhi said.

"Yes! But isn't it illegal for the commander to do so?" Captain Chen said.

"What law have they broken? What does their granary being robbed have to do with us? Can they blame us?"

"They didn't keep an eye on it, who can be blamed? Besides, these are thieves robbing the rich and feeding the poor, it has nothing to do with us, the Imperial Guard."

"Your Majesty once told me, 'give someone a taste of their own medicine!'" Long Zhi said.

"Your Majesty is right. I have wanted to deal with these bastards for a long time! Today I will make them vomit blood." Captain Chen said with a smile.

"Why don't you go quickly? What are you still doing here?" Long Zhi said with a smile.

"Yes!" Captain Chen bowed and left, and immediately set out with his men. He had already figured out the granary of these bastards.
