452 He’s really good at it

What happened between Liang Mingmin and Zhuo Zheng was updated to Xiao Hanzheng quickly.

He had trained a few secret guards who were very good at tracking and scouting, so they had watched the entire process of Liang Mingmin encountering the bandits, to the time when Zhuo Zheng saved her and sent her back.

They were also the ones who had held Liang Mingmin’s secret guards back and caused them to lose track of Liang Mingmin.

And the reason why those bandits had taken that path was that they had “coincidentally” met Liang Mingmin.

It was naturally Xiao Hanzheng’s scheme.

After knowing that she had disguised herself as a man, Xiao Hanzheng knew that his previous plan could be carried out.

He immediately had got someone to pretend to be a passerby.

When the bandits passed by, that person pretended to casually say that a large caravan had arrived and he accidentally saw a large stack of silver notes in the leader’s pouch.

This naturally attracted the attention of the few people who were here to target a “fat sheep”, and they changed their original route.

Liang Mingmin was being watched, so her movements were all under his control.

Shi Qingluo suddenly sent Zhuo Zheng to deliver soap to Xiao Hanzheng.

Naturally, it was the secret guard who had secretly given Shi Qingluo a signal.

Therefore, everything was not a coincidence.

It was all arranged and planned by Xiao Hanzheng, and he would not expose himself.

As expected, the plan was flawless.

It did not arouse Liang Mingmin’s and Zhuo Zheng’s suspicions.

Both of them thought that it was a coincidence.

After Shi Qingluo finished listening to the secret guard’s report, she waited for the guard to leave.

She looked at Xiao Hanzheng with her starry Eyes. “Brother Zheng, you’re really amazing. Everything went as planned as you thought.”

Her little hubby’s play of a hero saving a beauty was really great.

“Thank you for your praise, my dear!” Xiao Hanzheng chuckled.

Shi Qingluo took the initiative to sit on his lap and play with his hair. “Are you trying to kill two birds with one stone by setting up those bandits to flirt with Liang Mingmin? ”

Xiao Hanzheng lowered his head and chuckled. “My wife is so smart.

“The cottage they are at is not far from Heyang County and is particularly close to the cement road we are planning to build.

“They were very malicious and often rob and kill.

“In the winter, they will even pretend to be Ge people, then set fire and kill those in the nearby counties and villages. Their team is getting stronger and bigger.

“If we don’t get rid of them, our cement road will bring them great convenience.

“Ambushing on the road would allow them to cause harm to many caravans.

“If they come here a few more times, those caravans will not dare to come to Heyang County to purchase goods after hearing the news.

“Even if the bold ones still come, there will definitely be casualties.

“That’s why I’ve been planning on how to get rid of this group of bandits.

“Who knew that Liang Mingmin would come to me on her own accord?”

In his previous life, he had heard of this group of bandits in that cottage.

However, at that time, they were already very strong.

They even colluded with the Ge Kingdom, to burn, kill, and plunder everywhere. They even expanded their strength count.

After Prince Jin rebelled, Daliang had no time and energy to care about them.

As a result, this group of bandits became more and more arrogant.

That time, Ge Chunru sent Tao Liu to seduce an important general in the North, causing him to lose a city.

The Ge Kingdom had massacred the people in that city, and this group of bandits was the main force that had attacked their own kind.

They had taken up more than half of the ‘credit’ for the massacre.

Wherever the Ge people attacked, they would follow.

They were even more brutal and ruthless to the people in Daliang than Daliang’s enemy.

It was just because Prince Jin did not take the bandits seriously. After a few unsuccessful annihilation attempts, they became more experienced.

He also lost the opportunity to eliminate them completely.

It also caused many people in the northern border to be killed.

This time, Xiao Hanzheng had been paying close attention to these bandits.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to exterminate them, but they obviously didn’t have enough manpower.

The location of those cottages in the mountain was relatively good.

It was the kind that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

They still had to wait for Prince Jin and the Imperial court to send troops over.

It was also because of this that his men had their eyes on the bandits as soon as they entered the city.

He had also come up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

He paused for a moment before continuing, “Liang Mingmin is very doted on by Prince Jin. His daughter was almost successfully humiliated by a bandit. He might even bring her back to the village to continue to humiliate her. Of course, Prince Jin wouldn’t tolerate it. He had to avenge his daughter.

“The people Prince Jin sent to exterminate the bandits will probably arrive soon.”

Shi Qingluo nodded. “While the bandits’ hideout isn’t particularly strong, we can use Liang Mingmin to wipe them out. That’s a good idea.”

She also knew that their county’s manpower was limited.

There were not enough bailiffs and guards to go and suppress the bandits.

It was a good idea to give Prince Jin the credit.

“Well, let’s just wait and watch,” Xiao Hanzheng chuckled.

No one in that group of bandits was innocent.

This included the family members of the bandits.

None of them were good people.

For example, the ugly man who had bullied Liang Mingmin before. His family had been involved in human trafficking.

Liang Mingmin wanted to get her people to kill them all, which was considered a good thing.

Shi Qingluo nodded his head.

“I’ll bring Dumby along and take a look at a few villages in the next few days to see how the rubber flowers are growing,” she added. “After that we can execute that plan.”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Alright!”

The next day, Liang Mingmin brought gifts to the inn to visit Zhuo Zheng.

It just so happened that Shi Qingluo had given Zhuo Zheng a day’s off, so he went to visit Liang Mingmin.

Liang Mingmin had the intention of taking Zhuo Zheng in, while Zhuo Zheng was thinking about how to use Liang Mingmin.

As a result, the relationship between the two of them had become closer.

Recently, Liang Mingyu had been busy with the construction of the cement workshop and repairing the road, so he always left early and returned late.

Liang Mingmin wanted to eat restaurant food, but the restaurants did not sell her food.

Thus, Zhuo Zheng thoughtfully went to the restaurant to order some specialty dishes and brought them to Liang Mingmin’s courtyard to have a meal with her.

His thoughtfulness caused Liang Mingmin to like him more.

Their relationship had improved by leaps and bounds, so Zhuo Zheng did not pay much attention to Shi Qingluo.

After another day, Shi Qingluo said that she was going to check the rubber flowers in the villages and asked Zhuo Zheng if he wanted to follow.

He had followed Shi Qingluo to many villages before to teach the villagers how to plant and breed.

It was dirty and tiring, and the road was difficult to walk, so he didn’t want to go out.

Especially since Liang Mingmin had asked him out for dinner today and even said that she wanted to give him something.

Thus, Zhuo Zheng pretended that his stomach wasn’t feeling well and asked for a day off from Shi Qingluo.

Shi Qingluo had not intended to bring him along in the first place.

She pretended to care for him and asked him to go visit the doctor. Then, she left in a carriage with Dumby.

She often went to the village to teach the villagers, and she would always bring her goose with her, so no one felt that her actions were strange or unusual.

Shi Qingluo went to the village that was further away first.

By the time they reached the last village, it was already afternoon.

This was also a village that was relatively close to the county town.

Shi Qingluo went to check on the rubber flowers.

Dumby couldn’t stay idle and ran to the nearby mountain for a walk under the villagers’ nose.

The villagers didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with its behavior.

Because in the past, it would also wander around and go up the mountain by itself.

From time to time, it would come back with useful herbs in its mouth to give to Shi Qingluo.

Because of this, everyone knew that the county magistrate’s wife’s goose was smart and human-like, so they didn’t care much.

When Shi Qingluo was done with her inspection, Dumby also came down from the mountain with a bunch of green plants in its mouth.

At the roots of the plant hung many fist-sized, mud-covered, earth-yellow fruits.
