C119

The news that Ye Feihan received was sent by a county magistrate of a county under the jurisdiction of the Zhengzhou region. After several layers of transmission, it finally took Ye Feihan two days to receive it.

Ye Feihan looked at the description. Killing more than five thousand imperial court officials and prefectural soldiers, plundering the treasury and the common people's silver taels, plundering over two hundred thousand stones from the state granary.

The furious Ye Feihan immediately sent out troops to exterminate the bandits. He gathered the fifty thousand strong army that was originally guarding the western sea, and sent Luo Tianhe along with the former deputy general, Sun Lin.

However, the day Sun Lin received the imperial edict, Ye Lianhe returned to the capital.

He did not care about his injuries. He met with Ye Feihan at night and told him of what had happened.

"Royal Uncle, are you saying that Zhou Debiao is planning to murder you?" As Ye Feihan looked at Ye Lianhe's face, his mood fluctuated.

"The Emperor is wise." Ye Lianhe gave a deep bow to Ye Feihan and continued, "That thief Zhou Debiao was bewitched by someone into besieging this subject in the mountains. If it wasn't for the local villagers desperately trying to save him, perhaps the Emperor would not have been able to see this official." As Ye Lianhe spoke, his eyes became moist.

Ye Feihan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, this night's Lianhe is truly ridiculous. He's clearly a group of bandits, but he's actually been forcefully called an ordinary commoner.

However, this matter was also brought to Ye Feihan's attention. After all, there was no evidence, but he could think of it with his toes. This matter was done by Ye Feian.

"Then, according to royal uncle's opinion, how should we handle this matter? It should be decided to leave this annoying matter to Ye Lianhe.

"This is all it needs." Ye Lianhe told Ye Feihan his plan in an orderly manner.

Two days later, Sun Lin received the order from Ye Feihan to lead the troops back the same way, leaving only one thousand troops to be handed over to the deputy general, Zhao Wei. Sun Lin saw that the name Zhao Wei was very familiar. Suddenly, he remembered a fierce warrior from many years ago who was on the battlefield. He immediately shook his head with a smile. No one knew what he was thinking, but without much words, he followed the instructions and left a thousand warriors behind, returning back to the base.

A few days later, Zhao Wei arrived alone at the agreed location. When he saw the thousand-strong army, he unhurriedly announced his identity to them.

However, some of the veterans immediately recognized Zhao Wei. They had originally thought that the imperial government would send a useless person to command them, but they didn't expect that it was a hero from their side army.

Everyone crowded around Zhao Wei and cheered as they welcomed him. It was only after a long while that Zhao Wei was finally able to take off his hand and start reorganizing the military discipline. Sun Lin had left him with five hundred soldiers, two hundred cavalry, and three hundred archers. Although there were not many people, they were all sharp swords that were polished to a shiny point.

After a full meal, Zhao Wei gave the order for the entire army to start a speedy march. Just like that, ten days later, the one thousand elite soldiers arrived outside the city.

At this moment, although there was no longer a prefecture overseer who oppressed the citizens, there was also no order. After the bandits had killed the people and robbed the money, they left in a hurry. At the beginning, the commoners were still working hard to survive. However, a few days later, when someone was killed in the street and no one cared about it, chaos broke out in the city. Those small rich people who managed to escape became the targets of looting by the poor citizens in the city. The families of the few merchants in the city had been robbed, and the women's families had also been taken by the peddlers to be sold. On the day of the city's destruction, the aides and aides of the large and small officials were also beheaded. At this moment, there were no longer any officials in the city, and everyone was in a frenzy.

There were countless number of people who died fighting on the streets. There were also many who killed the original owner after having an affair. There were even some who set fire to the main prefecture's manor and burned it for two days and two nights without anyone noticing. Such a miserable state was comparable to hell on earth.

It took three days for a thousand soldiers to arrive at the border of Zhengzhou. Finally, they arrived at Zhengzhou City.

At this moment, Zhengzhou City had become a hell on earth. Although the bandits did not loot the city wantonly, it was a pity that too many poor citizens had been pressed down for too long. The moment this resentment exploded, it engulfed the entire city.

After the army arrived at Zhengzhou, they rested for two hours before entering the city. At this moment, the city gates of the Zhengzhou city were wide open. It seemed that someone had previously opened the city gates when they were fleeing, and because all the soldiers had died, there was no one controlling the city gates.

As soon as they entered the city, they saw a few hoodlums teasing a girl. Zhao Wei spurred his horse forward, raised his whip, and beat the two hoodlums to the ground.

"Take him down!" Zhao Wei shouted. Before the two thugs could even react to what happened, they were immediately caught. They wanted to resist, but the shining steel sabers were already at their necks. The two of them immediately became silent and their legs went limp.

"All troops obey orders, search and capture the entire city, squadron of ten will reestablish the order of the continent, and all criminals who take advantage of the situation will be arrested immediately! If there is any resistance, kill them!"

With Zhao Wei's order, a thousand men immediately scattered in all directions in order to restore order. After killing more than a hundred stubborn people, the True State City had become completely stable.

Since there were no officials left in Zhengzhou, Zhao Wei had no choice but to send people to scout around, and then scout around. Finally, it took them three days to find out what the state had lost and report it to the Imperial Court.

"Zhengzhou was looted by powerful men, and the losses were as follows: Seven hundred and twenty thousand silver taels, twenty thousand silk and silk, three hundred thousand grain of grain. All the officials and soldiers died."

The moment this imperial edict appeared, the court was shocked. Everyone looked at Ye Feihan, whose face was full of uncertainty, not daring to speak. They were deeply afraid of bringing disaster upon themselves.

"Your Majesty, this subject has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not." Ye Lianhe stepped forward and said to Ye Feihan.

"Uncle Huang, please speak your mind." Ye Feihan nodded and agreed with Ye Lianhe's words.

Ye Lianhe immediately took out an account book and handed it to the eunuch. The eunuch then handed it to Ye Feihan.

"This was obtained by chance from a knowledgeable man when I was traveling to Zhengzhou. It records the history of how Zhengzhou's Yang Lin and his chief soldier, Zhou Debiao, were corrupt and unscrupulous. They treated human lives as grass and plundered the cream of the people. Unfortunately, before this subject can even ask him his name, he has already died. "

As Ye Lianhe spoke, he looked at the ministers around him and said, "This official's injuries are also due to the fact that Zhengzhou's soldier, Zhou Debiao, wants to silence them. At that time, he will announce to the world that this official was harmed by bandits, and everything will be flawless."

"How preposterous!" A few ministers who did not know the truth spoke with indignation.

"Later on, I was lucky enough to get the help of the locals. I managed to escape with my life." Ye Lianhe said, "This subject knows from the villagers that the Zhengzhou bandits were mostly caused by the insatiable greed of the Zhengzhou prefecture's prefecture overseer and the main troop!"
