In Nanzhou County, the largest local snake is the Yuan family.

If only one or two officials in the county town evacuated early, it can be said that those officials colluded with the rebels, but if so many officials evacuated early, it only means that it must be related to the Yuan family at this time.

Qi Xiu nodded and said with great confidence: "That's right, even if those thieves were not supported by the Yuan family, they would have no relationship with the Yuan family."

"Thirteen counties, hundreds of thousands of people."

Shi Zhipei looked in the direction of the Yuan family, and the murderous aura in his eyes made Qi Xiu, a man who had been through the battlefield, feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sir, this is not the time to deal with the Yuan family."

Qi Xiu was a little worried that Shi Zhipei would do things impulsively, so he couldn't help but remind him: "The Yuan family's guardhouse and its guests are numerous, and they are deeply rooted in the local area. If we take action against them rashly, it may put us in an unfavorable situation."

With the power of the Yuan family, those county soldiers would definitely not dare to attack them easily, and if there were only one thousand of them, it would be difficult to deal with the Yuan family.

After all, although the Yuan family does not have private soldiers, there are many disciples in the mansion, and there are also many experts among them. If they are head-on, these disciples will naturally not be worth mentioning.

But if those masters turn into pieces and attack everywhere, then these regular soldiers will definitely not get any benefits, after all, they are too few.

"I know."

Shi Zhipei nodded and did not react much. He had been in the officialdom for so long, so it was hard to say anything else. He had definitely practiced the skill of nourishing qi to perfection.

So although the anger in his heart made him wish he could razure the entire Yuan family to the ground now, his rationality was still there, knowing that the moment was not the best time to deal with the Yuan family.

If you fight with Yuan at this moment, no matter whether you lose or win or lose, you will be just a thief outside.

"I will wait, and wait for the imperial army to quell the rebellion."

Shi Zhipei said in a calm tone: "When the rebellion is quelled, I will personally write a secret letter to the prince, suggesting that the prince kill Yuan."

Although he didn't know Mo Zizai very well, he knew one thing very well, that is, Mo Zizai dared to kill people and was not afraid of killing people.

He believed that after Mo Zizai knew what the Yuan family was doing, he would unceremoniously remove Yuan from the Great Zhou.

Although this move is somewhat suspicious of taking advantage of Mo Zizai, Shi Zhipei, who hates the Yuan family, can't take care of so much. Anyway, he thinks he is dead, and at worst he can pay Mo Zizai his life.

If a family as disgusting as Yuan's family could not be eliminated, he would not have died in peace.

Of course, Shi Zhipei doesn't know about Mo Zizai asking Yang Weishang to recruit talents. If he knew about it, he would definitely not have the intention to write another letter.

Because Mo Zizai's plan was even more ruthless than him, he not only wanted to kill Yuan, but also did not plan to let go of the officialdom of Nanjun.

"The army suppresses the rebellion..."

When Qi Xiu heard Shi Zhipei say that the imperial army was fighting the rebellion, he couldn't help but frown. After a while, he hesitated and whispered: "Sir, I actually feel that this rebellion is a bit abnormal."

"Why do you say that?"

Seeing Qi Xiu's cautious look, Shi Zhipei didn't react.

"Sir, what do you think of the meaning of these rebels?"

"If the Yuan family has contacted them but does not help them at all, what are you trying to do?"

Qi Xiu raised two questions like a cannon, and then without waiting for Qi Xiu to answer, he continued: "And some time ago, when we raided Anyi County, we were almost defeating the front of the thief leader Jiang Xiu, but suddenly a group of black armored troops appeared."

"These people are not only numerous, but also have a faint strength above us. If Master Yuanzhi had not tried his best to open a path, I would have died in Anyi County."

"Also, those black armored troops seem to have nothing to do with those thieves. After the Black Armed Army took action, most of the thieves were full of surprise. They didn't even think about turning around and forming a double-teamed force against us with the Black Armed Army. No one chose to close the city gate. Otherwise, even if Master Yuanzhi fought desperately, we would probably be unable to escape the end of annihilation of the entire army."

"And the most important thing is..."

Speaking of this, Qi Xiu took a step forward and pointed to the chaotic army outside and said the issues that Mo Zizai and the others had discussed in the capital. "Look at these rebels, after they besieged the county city, they neither chose to siege the city nor disperse."

"You know, there are the Great Zhou court behind us. If we continue to waste this, even if they do not have the crisis of food and grass shortage, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to them."

"So this situation is extremely abnormal!"

Qi Xiu said so much in one breath, and Liu Hong and Yu Heng's eyes were confused, only Shi Zhipei's eyes showed a thoughtful look. After thinking for a while, he looked up at Qi Xiu and asked in a uncertain tone:

"You mean, they or the people behind them, are not us, but the army that the court has come to suppress the rebellion, and we are just their bait?"

"Um."

Qi Xiu nodded, and said with a serious expression: "I have this guess in my heart, but I just don't know for sure."

"Your guess is reasonable."

Shi Zhipei's eyes were slightly sunk. He finally knew that Qi Xiu had been worried these days. The Great Zhou had only 30,000 Yulin Army available. If there was any problem with the Yulin Army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But now the county magistrate is surrounded, and the black armored troops that Qi Xiu mentioned are still hidden in secret. They can't do anything at all.

Shi Zhipei thought silently for a while before he slowly spoke: "If all this is planned in secret, then he will not fail to take our troops into consideration."

"And if he wants to restrain us, his best choice must be to borrow the power of Yuan in the city."

"After all, Yuan has been secretly helping those rebels before. No matter whether they are the masterminds behind the scenes, they will not mind being able to get into the trap at the most critical moment."

"So if the Yulin Army is really in a desperate situation, if we want to help, the first thing we have to do is to get rid of Yuan's entanglement."

Speaking of this, Shi Zhipei paused. The Yuan family had too much power in Nanzhou County. It would be too simple to restrain the troops in their city.

Not to mention the other side, just talking about the county soldiers who are responsible for guarding the city gates, I don’t know how many people are willing to obey the orders of the Yuan family. They are just doing nothing, but putting the chaos outside into the city is enough for them to have trouble, let alone they will end up in person.

Qi Xiu and the others were obviously very clear about their current situation, so after Shi Zhipei said this, they were all silent and obviously felt helpless.

Shi Zhipei obviously didn't expect them. After standing alone by the city wall and thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I have a way!"

Shi Zhipei looked up at the Yuan family's place, and then spoke a plan that made everyone feel a bit vicious.
