『…』

When Yang Ding mentioned Zhou Hu, Xiner subconsciously glanced at Yang Ding.

She sensitively realized that Yang Ding had not given up on the idea of ​​taking advantage of the princess to the Zhou Duwei.

Compared to Xin'er, Princess Xiangrui didn't notice it and asked in surprise: "Zhou Hu? Why didn't that ugly monster allow it?"

Hearing this, Yang Ding smiled mysteriously and said half-truely: "Princess may not know that Zhou Hu was born in the Heihu Mountain bandits or the leader of these Black Tiger thieves. The evil bandits who occupied the mountain as king on Heihu Mountain were all his former brothers... How could he allow his ministers to be unfavorable to his former brothers? In order to protect these former brothers, he lied that the Black Tiger thieves had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, but in fact..."

He shook his head in pain, and it was just right, because if he continued, it would be revealed. After all, he knew that the Black Tiger Thieves in Heihu Mountain had indeed become good and no longer engaged in the business of robbing the way.

As he expected, Princess Xiangrui, who was not well-informed in the world, was furious when she heard this and said with a look of hatred: "Okay, I know that this Zhou Hu is not a good person..."

After saying that, she turned to look at Xin'er and said, "Look, Xin'er."

However, Xin'er was unmoved at all. After taking a look at Yang Ding, she said lightly: "Princess, this is just a one-sided statement from Yang County Magistrate, and it is not worth believing. I think there must be some misunderstandings in it..."

Hearing this, Yang Ding said seriously: "This is a bad thing for the palace maid Xin.... The Black Tiger thief who was in Kunyang and Ye County killed people and robbed people and did everything evil. This is a well-known thing for the people nearby. What's more, in order to force Yingchuan County to pardon him, Zhou Hu sent people to abduct the county magistrates of Xiangcheng and Runan counties, burned the county magistrates, and slaughtered all the officials in the county yamen. Don't naively think that Zhou Hu is a good person... Originally, the leader of the Black Tiger thief was Yang Tong, but this person was not worthy of carrying shoes with him compared to Zhou Hu. Zhou Hu transformed from a thief to a lieutenant of Yingchuan County. Not to mention the thief to an official, he climbed to a height that ordinary people may not be able to reach in just two years. You can imagine how Zhou Hu's methods are."

These words made Princess Xiangrui and Xin'er and Yin'er both stunned.

It’s no wonder. After all, how many bandits in this world dare to burn the county government and rob the county magistrate? How many people can have a good end after doing such a thing?

Not to mention, Zhou Hu, who did this, has even become the commander of Yingchuan County.

No matter how you think about it, it makes people feel chilled.

At this time, Yang Ding continued, "It's a pity that God has no eyes. Just when the Li County Magistrate of Yingchuan County was furious and was about to encircle and suppress the Black Tiger Thieves, the rebels were uprising. The cunning Zhou Hu took the opportunity to change his appearance. He first fought against the rebels in Kunyang and won the hearts of the people. Then, when the Yingchuan County Magistrate lost to the rebels, he led people to support Xuchang and deceived the governor Li's forgiveness. I believe the princess knew about what happened later. Zhou Hu took advantage of the achievements of fighting the rebels.

Ji, who deceived the trust of Li County, turned into the commander of Yingchuan County. However, does this offset the evil deeds committed by the Black Tiger Thieves back then? The merchants in Ye County, who were once plundered by him, and the evil deeds committed by the Black Tiger Thieves, just because their leader Zhou Hu made contributions to fighting the rebels, they erased the sins of the past? Xin Palace Madam, if your close relative was persecuted by the Black Tiger Thieves, can you accept the fact that the Black Tiger Thieves were pardoned by Yingchuan County?"

"I..." The palace maid Xin was also speechless.

From the side, Princess Xiangrui opened her eyes wide in surprise and said angrily: "So Zhou Hu is so hateful."

Seeing that the princess had gradually fallen into Yang Ding's trap, Xin'er was also anxious, but she didn't know how to defend the Zhou Duwei. She was even a little confused: Is that Zhou Duwei, a good person or a bad person?

Suddenly, she thought of something and hurriedly said, "As far as I know, Zhou Duwei is the adopted son of Taishi Chen, and Chen Taishi is a recognized loyal minister by the world. If Zhou Duwei was a wicked person, how could Taishi Chen accept him as his adopted son?"

Yang Ding smiled and said, "This is how powerful Zhou Hu is.... Zhou Hu is very smart and cunning, completely different from ordinary bandits. Maybe Grand Master Chen was deceived by his fake face. Just like the palace maid Xin, before I told me some of the evil deeds that Zhou Hu had done, did the palace maid Xin also think that Zhou Hu was a hero with a open mind?"

After a pause, he chuckled and said, "Yes, I don't deny that Zhou Hu is very courageous and can be called a hero, but unfortunately, he is ambitious and is definitely not a good person."

Speaking of this, he sighed deliberately: "It's a pity that I can't do anything to him now."

Hearing Yang Ding's pretending sigh, Princess Xiangrui immediately took the bait and said angrily: "I didn't expect that Zhou Hu was so hateful. Brother Yanting, I will help you deal with him!"

"it's useless."

Yang Ding deliberately showed a disappointed attitude and shook his head and said, "When I went to Xuchang a few days ago, I had seen the officials from the county magistrate Li and the county magistrate's office. I had already discovered that the county magistrate Li had been deceived by Zhou Hu. The officials of the county magistrate's office were all bribed by Zhou Hu. Even more, Zhou Hu also vigorously promoted his subordinates and appointed his subordinates as county magistrates to take charge of the county army... The princess probably didn't know that in the twenty counties in Yingchuan County, at least more than 80% of the county magistrates were appointed by Zhou Hu. The county army of Yingchuan County and the county army of each county are now obeying Zhou Hu... This is far more than the power that ordinary magistrates can have, but unfortunately, because of the relationship between Chen Taishi, no one dared to point out this matter..."

Princess Xiangrui opened her eyes wide in surprise, turned to ask Feng Gongye Lie who was standing beside her and said, "Feng Gongye Lie, is this really the case?"

Feng Gongshi frowned and smiled. She still remembered that Zhou Hu had glared at her fiercely that day.

Although the backer Chen Taishi behind Zhou Hu could not afford to provoke him, it did not prevent her from telling the truth at this moment: "If the Yang County Magistrate said it was true, then Zhou Hu did indeed overthrow it...According to the laws of our Great Jin Dynasty, although the county towns under the county town need to obey the commanders of the county in terms of public security, the commanders have no right to appoint the county lieutenants of each county. The county lieutenants are appointed and removed by the county lieutenants of each county and are controlled by the county lieutenants of each county. Now, Zhou Duwei is beyond the authority to appoint the county lieutenants of each county. Lao Nu can only say that this move is not in accordance with the rules... Just as Yang County Magistrate said, Zhou Hu alone controlled all the troops of Yingchuan County, which is very dangerous."

Hearing this, Princess Xiangrui bulged her cheeks and said angrily: "I didn't expect there was such a hateful person! But Brother Yanting, this palace has dismissed Zhou Hu's official position..."

“It’s useless.”

Yang Ding shook his head and smiled, "Yingchuan County has been controlled by that Zhou Hu long ago. Even if the princess dismissed Zhou Hu, the new commander must be Zhou Hu's confidant... Even if this matter is exposed to Handan, it will be useless. The court of Jieshi would definitely face Zhou Hu for the sake of Grandmaster Chen, and at most it would be a few rebukes."

"Then... can't you deal with this Zhou Hu?" Princess Xiangrui asked angrily.

"That's not......"

Seeing the right time, Yang Ding pretended to be hesitant and said slowly: "If he could conquer Heihu Mountain, seize those accomplices of Zhou Hu, and torture Zhou Hu from these people for personal gain, use his power to protect his former accomplices' crimes, and report these evidence to the court, the court might take it seriously and order the removal of Zhou Hu... But the problem is that without the authorization and permission of Yingchuan County, as the county magistrate of Ye County, although I am confident that I can conquer Heihu Mountain, I have no right to do so..."

Hearing this, Princess Xiangrui immediately said: "I allow Brother Yanting to encircle Heihu Mountain!...I want to see, Zhou Hu dares to disobey my orders!"

This was exactly what Yang Ding thought, and he pretended to be pondering, "If it were the princess' order, this would be fine..."

"Then do it!"

Princess Xiangrui slapped her hands happily: "Brother Yanting quickly summoned the soldiers to wipe out Heihu Mountain, and torture the evidence from the thieves."

"Affect the order."

Yang Ding lowered his head and bowed his hand. At an angle that others could not see, a trace of light flashed in his eyes.

The next day, Zhao Yu and his group who were staying in the inn overnight in the city came to the county government early after breakfast.

Everyone in the county yard recognized this Zhou Duwei, but they did not dare to stop him, and let Zhao Yu wander around the county yard at will.

Just as Zhao Yu was wandering around, the Xin Palace Maid who learned that he had arrived left the princess who was still sleeping in, hurriedly found Zhao Yu, led Zhao Yu with a confused look to the corner of no one, and told Zhao Yu everything that Yang Ding said to Princess Xiangrui last night.

"What? Yang Ding instigated the princess to encircle Heihu Mountain?"

Even with Zhao Yu's wisdom, he felt inexplicably surprised when he heard this.

You should know that the main village of Heihu Mountain has long stopped doing business of robbing the road. Now, except for the necessary mountain patrol brothers, there are only a group of women and children living in it.

And those brothers who patrol the mountains usually go to the mountains to hunt and other things. The whole village is peaceful like a mountain village. Yang Ding is full and sends troops to fight Heihu Mountain?

Why did people who caught Heihu Village torture evidence? Not to mention Guo Da, Chu Jiao and others could not betray him. Ye County alone really has the ability to capture Heihu Mountain?

You should know that even the current Heihu Village is not powerless to resist. A group of teenagers like Deng Bai and Deng Song have long grown up and become the backbone of the copycat.

Not to mention the Luben Camp under Chen Mo, you can return to the mountain village at any time.

No matter how you think about it, Yang Ding can't succeed.

"Disgusting me? Make me up?"

Zhao Yu frowned, but immediately gave up the idea.

Because he believed that Yang Ding would never do boring actions. Since the other party did this, he would definitely have another purpose.

"...I understand. He was sure that I would not send county troops to help him encircle Heihu Mountain. In this way, he would take the opportunity to attack the stupid princess. But...will he not implicate him if he did this?"
