Queen of flowers - chapter 175
Yong Ruo felt that Feng Liao’s words were like a pun.
What he really wanted to say wasn’t that the poem was wrong, but that the person who wrote the poem had acted in a way that disturbed the law?
However, at that moment, in that situation, she naturally wouldn’t argue with Feng Liao, and debate the meaning of the poems or the difference between the ancient and standard verses.
She just nodded very sympathetically, “If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t have figured out that… this poem is wrong!”
Feng Liao coughed a little uncomfortably, then turned his head and scanned the poem.
“No wonder the houses in the village were burned but only this one is intact. Hmph, if I want to open the emperor’s ancestral shrine in the house then it will depend on the future!” Feng Liao’s tone was cold with a faint, suppressed anger.
He lifted his feet and walked outside, and instructed Xiao Guizi casually, “Break down the wall of the poem!”
He also ordered Su Mingjian to bring the map.
The two guards removed the tables and chairs from the house and placed them in the yard.
Feng Liao and Su Mingjian sat at the table, studying the map together in the light of the setting sun.
“Wulin County is very dangerous now!” Su Mingjian’s finger pointed on the map, “I can say with Ah Lan’s remarks and the number of households here that this village has been swept away by more than 100 people.”
“In these seven or eight days, as long as they hold up a few villages, they can reach the scale of thousands of people.”
“If they go into Wulin County at this time, this small county can not hold thousands of refugees. If these people take the opportunity to kill officials in the county and then engulf the people, they can reach thousands or even tens of thousands people. ”
“After robbing Wulin County, they can spread to the surrounding Xiushan County, Anning County, Bo County, Xuezhou Government. By then it would be difficult to clean up the situation…”
Feng Liao also looked intently at the map and gritted his teeth, “This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. If we allow them to run like this, they will soon turn into tens of thousands. By then, more people would lose their houses and die. The world would be turbulent. After Benwang returns to Beijing, it will be difficult to explain to the Emperor …”
“Did the scouts go out?”
“Half of the scouts have been assigned to track down the rogue. But the strength of the guards around Wang Ye would weaken …”
“Anyway. Benwang believes that the land of Lunan is still populated …”
When Feng Liao and Su Mingjian analyzed the situation and discussed countermeasures, Yong Ruo sat under a tree in the courtyard, thinking about some questions carefully.
Was there anything suspicious about this? Were there any flaws?
Ah Lan’s identity hadn’t been confirmed.
As everyone in the village was taken away, no one could testify for her, and no one could expose her.
It seemed normal that there were bandits during famine, and people in the village were taken away by them.
It was also normal for the violent bandits to drink wine and have a bonfire party. Without thoroughly fanning people’s emotions, who would follow them to kill people?
It wasn’t surprising that the houses were burned.
If the retreat of the villagers wasn’t completely cut off, how could these villagers follow them in desperation to rob others?
It wasn’t surprising that the small yard survived.
The leader of the bandits wrote the poem in the main room of the courtyard. He would “open the imperial Ancestor Shrine from now on”. Naturally, he couldn’t burn his own “Ancestor Shrine”, which would be unlucky.
Except that everything seemed too coincidental. Everything they encountered and everything they saw was very logical.
Yong Ruo sat there, staring at the gradually dark sky.
Since she couldn’t find any flaws for the time being, why not jump out of logic and reason and think about it the other way around?
What if the people in the village were still there?
In that case, Ah Lan’s identity should be confirmed.
So, did the people in the village disappear so that Ah Lan’s identity couldn’t be confirmed or revealed?
If the other party’s purpose was just this, why not kill everyone in the village but choose a more complicated and risky one?
Was it really because the leader of the bandits wanted to rebel and become Emperor?
She thought of the anti-poem again. Was there anything wrong with that anti-poem?
She thought about it for a while, but found nothing wrong. The meaning of that poem was straightforward. There were no obscure allusions and metaphors, much like the writing of a reckless hero who didn’t read much and was determined to rebel.
Let’s think about it in reverse. If this poem wasn’t intended to express the desire to rebel, then what was the significance of its existence?
Yong Ruo had pain in her head, but couldn’t think of it.
Feng Liao and Su Mingjian quarreled again.
Feng Liao wanted to bring the guards personally to clean up the bandits in order to concentrate the most advantageous troops and eliminate the hidden dangers as quickly as possible.
Su Mingjian wanted to use a sound strategy.
Let Rob lead three-quarters of the escorts, escort Feng Liao and others to Xiushan County, then let Mingjian dispatch soldiers to destroy the invaders.
He wanted to take fifty elite guards and ten scouts himself, quickly track the bandits, and then keep on fighting, waiting for Feng Liao to bring the rescue team.
