Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Their eyes fell on Yu County, the smallest territory.

This place is outside the western suburbs and is the farthest from the capital among the neighboring counties.

"Do you think it's possible that those private soldiers are hiding here?" Jiang Lianzhu pointed to the vertical and horizontal map with a little hesitation, "The other three county towns entering the official fortress of the capital have huge traffic. If Abnormalities are easily discovered. On the other hand, Yu County is surrounded by mountains three times and is sparsely populated, so it seems like a good place to hide people."

Because of her dealings with Liu Zi, Jiang Lianzhu also knew a little about the situation in the counties near the capital.

Liao Yunchuan nodded and agreed with her words: "It is true. There are many cliffs near Yu County. If a large army marches, it will take a day and a night. But the prime minister only has 500 troops, and the small groups of troops will move very quickly. Because there are few people, the movement of the army will be very fast. It’s not big and hard to be noticed.”

"Has Yang Fei checked this place?" Jiang Lianzhu felt more and more that there was something wrong here, so she looked up at Liao Yunchuan, who was frowning in thought, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"With his brain, he probably wouldn't have thought of this." Liao Yunchuan's tone was cold and disdainful.

Thinking of Yang Fei's careless and rough appearance, Jiang Lianzhu thought deeply.

Liao Yunchuan had been busy with court affairs recently and rarely paid attention to these matters. In addition, Yang Fei looked confident and promised to take care of him, so Liao Yunchuan gave the matter to him.

"His mind must be focused on observing the Prime Minister's movements." Liao Yunchuan said and asked someone to call Yang Fei.

Yang Fei was still full of doubts when he came. When he saw the two of them sitting together drinking tea with complicated eyes, he asked: "Boss, madam, why are you two looking for subordinates?"

Only then did Jiang Lianzhu notice his title, but she was stunned but did not deny it.

Liao Yunchuan naturally noticed this, with a hidden smile on his face and eyes, and glanced at Yang Fei with admiration. For the first time, he felt that he was a discerning person.

One code after another, Liao Yunchuan said leisurely: "Some time ago, I went to investigate the private soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion with full confidence. I don't know what the result will be in the past few days."

Speaking of this, Yang Fei looked embarrassed: "My subordinates have been observing the Prime Minister's Mansion for many days, but there has been no progress yet."

At the beginning, he boasted about Haikou with confidence, but now when he talks about it, his head is empty.

Liao Yunchuan showed an expression that he had expected. His eyebrows were slightly raised like those of mountains and rivers. He said rather speechlessly: "After observing for so many days and there is no progress, you still keep squatting stupidly? Your head is made of wood and you can't change it?"

Yang Fei scratched his head angrily, feeling he was wrong: "My subordinates thought that since the Prime Minister has raised private soldiers, and all the food and clothing are spent on money, it is strange that someone would contact the Prime Minister. It’s already winter, but there’s no movement from the Prime Minister’s side.”

He cursed the Prime Minister in his heart for being cunning, and explained with a bitter look on his face.

It's really a stupid head.

These words silenced the two of them. Jiang Lianzhu spread out the map to Yang Fei and said in a helpless tone: "The Prime Minister is very thoughtful. There have been constant turmoil in the Prime Minister's Mansion in recent days, so we will only be more cautious. Since we can't squat, we might as well Take the initiative to search for it." She said, reaching out and tapping Yu County, "Liao Yunchuan and I have done research. It is unlikely that there are hundreds of people hiding in the other three places on the outskirts of Beijing, but this place is more suspicious. Prime Minister If you want to raise a group of hundreds of soldiers, they shouldn’t be too far from the capital.”

Yang Fei looked at the place under her fingertips and suddenly realized: "My subordinates lacked consideration and thought they could catch the Prime Minister just by waiting."

He sounded ashamed. After all, he had tricked the Prime Minister into playing around some time ago. He really relaxed his guard and got carried away for a moment: "I will take people to Yu County to investigate."

"Go." Liao Yunchuan nodded, but he didn't pursue it too much this time. The blame was ultimately due to the fact that he didn't pay much attention to the matter.

After Yang Fei left, Jiang Lianzhu shook his head and said in a leisurely tone: "I'm not sure that the Prime Minister hid his private soldiers here. If we really can't find out anything, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

Those private soldiers were a thorn in their hearts, and no one wanted anything unexpected to happen.

After Yang Fei left here, he secretly gathered ten elites, set out from the secret passage, disguised themselves and headed for Yu County.

It was the end of December, the wind was chilling to the bones, snow was flying, and there were gradually no pedestrians on the street. There were only groups of refugees in ragged clothes and unkempt faces clinging to each other in the corners to keep warm.

Two days after the imperial policy was approved, the emperor and his ministers discussed day and night and decided to renovate an abandoned village not far from the capital to provide the refugees with a sheltered place to stay.

The Xijing Camp set off immediately, preparing to go to the deserted village to complete the project within a few days.

The news spread, and an imperial edict was sent to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, ordering the King of Zhenbei, who had not yet left Beijing, to be responsible for supervising the work.

After seeing off the eunuch who had delivered the order, the King of Zhenbei made a long face and secretly cursed that the emperor had too many things to do. It was not easy for him to stay in the capital for a few more days and find something for him to do.

Although he complained in his heart, seeing so many refugees huddled together in the cold wind, he was still willing to do more for the people. He immediately packed up and prepared to take Tang Minglang and Liao Xiaoan to see the world.

Liao Xiaoan hesitated for a moment and said to Tang Shengmao, "I'd better go back and talk to my mother first."

"Go, go, go and come back quickly." Tang Shengmao understood and waved his hand to tell him to go back quickly.After all, it was not good for him to carry this little baby around without saying a word. Anyway, the departure time was scheduled for the afternoon, so it was still in time.

"Thank you, Master." Liao Xiaoan said with a smile, said hello to Tang Minglang, who was being watched by Tang Shengmao while boxing, and immediately returned to the six doors.

At that time, Jiang Lianzhu had just returned from the medical clinic with Liao Xiaole. The news that the court was going to resettle the refugees in deserted villages had long been posted, so she was not surprised when Liao Xiaoan mentioned it.

"Since the prince wants to take you there, just go with him. If you need any help, just lend a hand." Jiang Lianzhu nodded, and then pulled him over to check his clothes. After making sure that he was wearing thick clothes, he was relieved.

"How can there be a deserted village in the capital?" Liao Xiaole asked doubtfully.

She remembered that the capital was full of streets and wells. Although not everywhere was gorgeous, she never saw any deserted places.

"Hey, there must not be one in the capital." Liao Xiao'an was happy, feeling that his sister was stupid, "But it's different in the suburbs. Master said it was reported by Jingzhao Mansion. It is said that there is a deserted village in the western suburbs that has been abandoned for a long time. , if it weren’t for the need for a place to resettle the refugees this time, I’m afraid no one would even think of that deserted village.”

Western suburbs?

Jiang Lianzhu was slightly startled when he heard this.
