"I don't want to ask the same question a second time."

Jun Yunxin's voice was still gentle and soft, like a girl's coquettishness, but to Lian Yin, it sounded like a deadly demonic voice, piercing her ears painfully.

"Your Highness, spare me... It was the Blood Robe Cult who captured Lian Yin's family... This servant truly had no intention of betraying you..."

"Drag him away and interrogate him thoroughly. I need to know the current situation in Qing'an County within a day!"

"Here you go!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness... have mercy!"

……

"Your Highness, I have gone to Lianyin's hometown as you instructed. Her mother is still alive, but her father and brother were found dead at the hands of the Blood Robe Cult."

"Has the compensation money been arranged properly?"

"Your Highness, following past practice, we announced to the public that Lianyin died of a cold, and the two hundred taels of silver were given to her mother."

"She has served me for eight years, so I'll give her a dignified death tonight."

"Understood."

"Wait a moment."

"Does Your Highness have any further instructions?"

Princess Yongning sat at the table with her eyebrows curved as if she were smiling, but her voice carried a hint of coldness that was barely perceptible.

"Use carrier pigeons and fast horses to send a message. Send one by carrier pigeon to General Bai, who is stationed outside Yongning County, so that he can lead his troops to meet him."

Another letter was sent by fast horse to the Qing'an County government office, informing them of the Blood Robe Cult's rebellion.

"Here you go!"

……

April 28th, the 27th year of Chengtai.

"Boss, do you know what the princess looks like?"

"My old man says that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, the offspring of Heaven, so his daughter must be a fairy."

"Do fairies not need to eat, sleep, or go to the toilet?"

"What utter nonsense! Is that even human?"

"The daughter of a goddess is naturally a goddess herself; how could she be like us roughnecks!"

Bang!Bang!Bang!

"Shut the hell up! Anyone who dares to say another word, I'll kick them to death!"

Three loud noises followed, accompanied by the sounds of fists colliding with heads, as Mu An, who hadn't used such profanity in a long time, finally broke into a swearing fit.

For a fleeting moment, he really wanted to go up and kick each of these idiots.

But when he thought that these were his own soldiers, and he would have to pay for their treatment if they were damaged, Mu An withdrew his foot that was itching to go for a kick.

But the dark lines on his face and his gloomy expression were enough to prove his mood at that moment.

All that effort he put into giving lectures to improve the cultural level of the patrol and inspection department was for nothing?

What a bunch of idiots! Absolutely idiotic!

If he had listened to a few words during class, he wouldn't have asked such a stupid question.

Even a dog is smarter than these idiots! Even a PE teacher couldn't produce students like this!

Getting them to learn something is harder than taking their lives!

With this kind of attitude, how dare you interfere with your own child's studies?

And then there's Princess Yongning, who seems to have some kind of problem. Does she have nothing better to do or what?

Such an important person insists on going to a small county town!

They clearly sent many spies to gather information.

After discovering the spies, Mu An even had his trusted confidants pass on the news of the trouble in Qing'an County to them.

He even leaked information about the Blood Robe Cult and the Night Crow Bandits through various means, all to make the princess more vigilant and abandon her idea of ​​coming to Qing'an County.

This princess, who's got a screw loose, actually wants to come.

Go ahead to dangers.

Does this small county town have a mine or something?

If something happens, who can take responsibility?

Leaving a big spectrum!

Mu An felt very unhappy, extremely unhappy.

The princess's sudden illness could very well ruin his peaceful life, yet he was forced to cooperate with her.

Qing'an County was under the jurisdiction of Yongning Prefecture, which was the fiefdom of this princess who was suspected of having some mental lapses.

In other words, Princess Yongning will be his superior from now on.

The Blood Robe Cult's culprits had been plotting for who knows how long, and must have gathered a great deal of information.

They still intend to cause trouble in Qing'an County, which means they believe they have a chance. There's no reason for these thugs to fight a battle they can't win.

If Princess Yongning were to encounter any trouble in Qing'an County, none of the officials, high or low, would escape punishment.

At that point, Mu An would have no choice but to flee to the mountains.

Grabbing his subordinate's hair and listening to his men yelling and screaming, Mu An calmed down.

The Mu family's business empire can travel far and wide, spreading its industries throughout Lingzhou, not because they talk about principles on paper every day.

In Daqi, you can't succeed in business without some skills.

The trading company has so many guards; it's time to make some changes.

Qing'an County has mountains and rivers, and is rich in resources; it's only right to add some fertilizer to the mass burial grounds.

Perhaps due to her childhood experiences, Mu An has suffered from a fear of insufficient firepower since childhood.

He felt restless if he didn't develop other forces or train his own soldiers.

What to do if you encounter a cult? What to do if rebels attack? What to do if the magistrate goes mad? What to do if the dynasty falls apart?

Preparations must be thorough!

We must ensure that we have the capability to deal with a thousand elite troops in extreme circumstances!

only……

Put yourself in Princess Yongning's shoes. If a family in her fiefdom held such a large armed force, she would definitely be restless and unable to eat or sleep properly.

Faced with such a situation, he would inevitably find a reason to firmly grasp the power of the Mu family in his own hands.

Dare not give it to me?

Alright, you want to rebel, huh!

Then go explain it to the King of Hell!

If even she herself is so heartless, then the royal princess's heart must be even more heartless!

After making a reasonable deduction, Mu An secretly came to a conclusion.

You have to vote!

Yongning County is the princess's fiefdom. In other words, the Mu family has already been labeled as Princess Yongning, and following the princess is undoubtedly the best choice.

How exactly to do it is a matter for the elders of the Mu family, and has little to do with Mu An.

All he needs to do is to ensure the security of Qing'an County as well as possible.

Princess Yongning has been traveling for two months since she set off from the capital.

Since there haven't been any problems for so long, it means that the guards around her are definitely not weak.

Knowing that there were people lying in ambush in Qing'an County, she still dared to come here, which must have made corresponding preparations, and even intentionally used herself as bait to lure out these enemies who wanted her dead.

Then what needs to be done is very simple.

Locate the hiding places of the Blood Robe Cult members in advance and gather as much information as possible.

Having made up his mind, Mu An slammed his hand on the table three times. After all the soldiers shut up, he began to give instructions on what needed to be noted.

"Listen up, everyone. This operation is a joint effort between the three patrol offices and the county government. There is clear intelligence indicating that thieves have been active in the county town recently, plotting something sinister."

"Ten men per group, search every house! Don't let a single one escape! Catch all those traitors hiding in the county town!"

After repeating the detailed requirements for the search three times and having all the guards repeat them, Mu An finally felt a little relieved.

They've already fed them; surely these idiots can't afford to cause any more problems?

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

"Planting flags haphazardly!"
