Chapter 1166: To Arrest Someone, You Don’t Necessarily Have to Use Force.

Ning Chen stared at Yunniang with a smile and asked, "Why should I promise you?

How do you know that you are not falling into the trap when you come to see me, and it is not difficult to pry open your mouth. ”

Speaking of this, Ning Chen pointed at Feng Qizheng and Pan Yucheng, "They are both golden clothes from the Supervision Department, and they are the best at interrogation. No matter how tight your mouth is, they can pry it open."

Pan Yucheng looked at him sideways. Why did this sound strange?

Yunniang's face turned pale, but she smiled and said, "Since the civilian woman came to find the prince, she had already put her life and death aside.

I know very well that in front of the prince, I am as humble as an ant, and the prince nods to pieces.

But what I ask is just to avenge my children, then stay away from right and wrong, and live a good life. Is this too much? ”

Ning Chen's eyes flashed slightly, "Okay, I promise you!"

Yunniang's eyes lit up slightly, "The prince's status is precious, and he has a word. The civilian woman believes in you. I also ask the generals present to testify for the civilian woman."

Ning Chen pulled the corner of his mouth. This Yunniang was indeed smart.

Letting those present testify for him is actually a disguised threat.

If Ning Chen was untrustworthy, how could he lead troops in the future? Who would follow a person who broke his promise and became fat?

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at her, "You do have some tricks, but Zhang Tianlun and Kang Xiao are not stupid either. Now they can do anything to survive. How could they tell you their hiding place?"

Yunniang said, "They did not tell the people's women, they were secretly following them and found them."

Ning Chen sneered, "I have so many people under my command and have not found them for so many days. How did you find them? Can you be worth thousands of troops alone?"

Yunniang said softly: "On the night when the prince broke the city, the four gates were blocked. Zhang Tianlun and Kang Xiao realized that the situation was hopeless, so they disbanded their subordinates and lie down on their own.

The civilian woman secretly followed Zhang Tianlun and found his hiding place.

Later, after several days of secret investigation and understanding Kang Xiao, he successfully found his hiding place. ”

Ning Chen looked down at her, "Yunniang, if you dare to lie to me, I promise you will die miserably."

Yunniang hurriedly said, "The civilian woman dare not, the civilian woman can take the prince to arrest people now."

Pan Yucheng stood up and said, "Prince, I'll go, I promise to bring the person back."

Feng Qizheng said, "I'll go too!"

Ning Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go together, Kang Xiao is a super expert, I will go there in person."

After saying that, he looked at Yunniang, "Do you think you know where Kang Xiao and Zhang Tianlun are hiding, how many guards are there around them?"

Yunniang said, "Kang Xiao is alone, and Zhang Tianlun has five or six guards."

Ning Chen nodded slightly and said, "Yuan Long, transfer two hundred Ning'an troops."

"yes!"

... ...

Half an hour later, Yunniang brought Ning Chen to the North City.

There is a dilapidated temple on the edge of the North City.

On the stone steps at the entrance of the temple and under the eaves, beggars in ragged clothes and disheveled hair sat in a staggered manner and basking in the sun.

After Zhang Tianlun fled to the East, he caused trouble. The most important thing in the eastern prefectures and counties was beggars.

In Xiangzhou alone, there are probably thousands of beggars in the city.

Their eyes were numb and their applications were dull.

It is late autumn now and the weather is getting colder.

These people can't survive this winter.

In this world, there are far more people who die of freezing than those who starve to death.

In this world, cotton jackets are hard currency. They are redeemed in summer and redeemed in winter. This kind of thing is everywhere.

When Emperor Xuan was in power, Daxuan flourished, the sea was peaceful and the rivers were clear, and Daxuan had almost no people starved to death.

This is what an emperor should do.

Emperor Xuan once said that expanding territory is indeed a great achievement, and it can leave an emperor with a name in history... but this is far from allowing the people to have enough food and clothing.

Many people say that Emperor Xuan is more conservative and less enterprising... Many people even think that he is weak and can be bullied and want to replace him.

But Emperor Xuan is deeply loved by the people.

Because as an emperor, he is worthy of the world and the people of the world.

But after Zhang Tianlun came to power, Zong Sibai promoted the fire and helped the evildoer to abuse the whole Great Xuan wolf, and the people were living in poverty, and countless people were frozen to death every year.

But among these beggars, if you look closely, one seems particularly different.

Although they are all beggars in ragged clothes, disheveled hair, and smelly bodies, the other beggars have dull eyes, only this beggar has clear eyes.

He looked in the direction of the north city gate from time to time.

This dilapidated temple, which can barely shelter from the wind and rain, is the closest place to the North City Gate.

In the distance, a group of soldiers stopped.

It was Ning Chen and others.

Ning Chen turned his head and looked at Yunniang, "You said Kang Xiao was hiding in that dilapidated temple?"

Yunniang nodded, "Yes, he pretended to be a beggar and mingled among those beggars."

In fact, they don’t know either. There are so many people below that they can’t ask about everything.

Ning Chen looked at Yunniang, "Are you sure Kang Xiao is hiding here?"

Yunniang nodded, "It's true!"

Ning Chen frowned slightly, "It is impossible for me to have not found these beggars. If Kang Luo had mixed in, he would have been found out long ago."

Yunniang said, "The prince doesn't know that there are thousands of beggars in this city, their lives are like grass, and their bodies are covered in stench. The prince is sure that your soldiers are willing to approach and check carefully?

According to my secret observations over the past few days, the prince's men did come to investigate, and more than once, but each time it was just a formality. "

When these words came out, Yuan Long and others' faces suddenly changed.

Ning Chen attached great importance to military discipline. The people below pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, and fooled around like this... If this matter was confirmed, I'm afraid many people would be severely punished.

Ning Chen glanced at Yuan Long and others with a sharp look.

Yuan Long and others stiffened all over, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Ning Chen asked Pan Yucheng to come closer to his ear, and then whispered in his ear: "Send a few people to observe and investigate secretly to see if the people below are really as Yunniang said, pretending to obey but secretly disobeying, and doing things just for the sake of formality? ”

He would not believe Yunniang's one-sided statement, so he would send someone to investigate it clearly.

The most important thing for the army is strict military discipline and strong execution.

If the people below are fooling around and muddling through, there will be a big mess, and large-scale battles will definitely suffer a big loss.

This is something Ning Chen will never tolerate.

Once it is found out, if it is true, he will definitely not show mercy.

Pan Yucheng nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it now!"

Feng Qizhen said, "Your Highness, I'll take people to rush up and take them."

Ning Chen shook his head, "No, there are so many beggars, Kang Xiao is a super master, and he can easily capture a few people as hostages.

These beggars are also the people of Daxuan. We came to Xiangzhou to help the people, not to harm them. "

Feng Qizhen scratched his head, "What should we do then?"

Ning Chen glanced at him and smiled, "Sometimes, arresting people does not necessarily require the use of force.

Yuan Long, come closer. "

Yuan Long rode forward, and Ning Chen whispered a few words in his ear.

Yuan Long's eyes lit up, "Yes, I'll do it right away!"
