"Your Majesty, I will definitely send someone to investigate carefully. If we find the whereabouts of these criminals, please ask Your Majesty and the Crown Prince to send some people to me to capture them..."

Prefect Fan understood that his men were good at dealing with ordinary criminals, but when it came to dealing with this kind of unkillable person, ten of the yamen runners in the prefect's office were not enough to beat one of them.

After hearing what Magistrate Fan said, Prince Chen nodded.

"Manpower, I will send you a thousand men now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hearing that the prince had sent a thousand men to him, Prefect Fan heaved a sigh of relief. A thousand men plus the yamen runners of the prefect's office should be enough to investigate the city of Suzhou. When the time comes, let the captain bring some flares, and if they find anything wrong, they can set off flares.

In front of Prince Chen and the Prince of Qin, Governor Fan immediately gave orders to his men.

Soon, except for the runners in the government office, all the others were sent out. Prefect Fan also sent people to tell the Jiangnan garrison to transfer some people. Otherwise, he would lose his official position if he didn't find these people.

In the forest, Qin Ye followed General Wei to the foot of the mountain below the mine.

"Meet General Wei."

The soldiers in charge of the investigation ran down immediately.

"How's the situation up there?"

"To answer General Wei, we have checked. This is an iron mine. There are at least several hundred people guarding the mountain, and there are thousands of people mining... There is a river more than ten meters deep in the middle of the road leading up the mountain. The water in the ditch is also more than ten meters deep. There is a suspension bridge on it. If this bridge is broken, it will not be easy for us to attack..."

"To reply to General Wei, we also found that there are many traps on this road. Those traps are very hidden and very lethal... Our people were very careful, but several people were injured... It was only because of the soldiers from the suburban camp sent by the Prince of Qin to help investigate that we were able to get down safely..."

what?

Hearing this, General Wei's face became a little serious. This situation was more serious than he had imagined. These people were not a mob. They looked very capable. They could even set traps, and their lethality was very great. Although they had fought several battles with the pirates, they could only set ordinary traps.

They only brought bows and arrows this time, and did not bring the artillery they usually used. The mountain road was difficult to walk on, so they came here with machetes and cut their way out. There was no way to transport artillery.

The troops stationed in the south of the Yangtze River have plenty of swords, bows and arrows.

But this mountain is an iron mine, and the thing that is least lacking here is iron products. The people in this mountain also have no shortage of bows and arrows. If they also have bows and crossbows, then they will be in trouble.

When Qin Ye heard these people say that the people from the Jingjiao Camp sent by the Prince of Qin were helping, he was very disdainful. How could Qin Chen's people help? He was able to become the deputy general of the Jingjiao Camp because of his uncle. If it were Qin Chen himself, he would not even be able to be a thousand households now.

"General Wei, what should we do? Should we just charge forward?"

"No, General Wei, if we charge forward now, if those people cut the suspension bridge, our casualties will be great."
