The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Pan Yun and his friends arrived at Sanlipu Post Station at 3 p.m., and there were some senior brothers and sisters who arrived earlier than them.

But they were covered in dust.

Oh, Pan Yun and his friends were also exhausted after riding horses, but the senior brothers and sisters who flew on foot were even more exhausted than them.

The smell of dust, cow dung, horse dung and sweat mixed together on his body was unpleasant.

Pan Yun and the others sat far away, looking at them with sympathy.

The seniors who were originally quite proud: …

They glanced at the horses of the five men approaching in silence.

Pan Yun put his hand to his mouth and whispered, "Why don't we continue walking? It's right to go to Fuzhou anyway."

Tao Yanbai hesitated for a moment, but not for long: "What if the teachers change the order?"

"The ultimate goal remains the same, so even if the process is a little different, that's fine...right?"

When the four disciples looked at each other and were about to agree, Qu Le said quietly, "The Wulin Alliance sent me a message, and I have to pass it on to the three teachers."

Pan Jun's heart sank as she wanted to leave: "Okay."

Fortunately, Taoists do not like formalism. Li Wenying, who was a little slow in class, became very efficient. The daily schedule is increasing, and the students' limits are being stretched little by little.

In just three days, they reached Fuzhou on foot.

With Qu Le's help, they also met the people sent by the Wulin Alliance and exchanged the information they had collected with each other.

This comparison can distinguish the pros and cons. The information in the hands of the academy is basically scraps from the Wulin Alliance, and there is basically no new information to provide.

However, the Wulin Alliance even got the news that a group of pirates were coming ashore and returning home.

Because Pan Yun was in charge of leading and protecting Qu Le, she had the opportunity to follow the three teachers and listen to the whole process silently.

"These pirates are flying under the banner of Japanese pirates, and they speak Japanese when robbing at sea, but they are actually Han Chinese," said Zhang Ning of Wulin League. "They used to be fishermen along the coast, but because the imperial court banned the sea, they became pirates. They only robbed merchant ships at sea, and occasionally disturbed official ships, but rarely went ashore to rob."

Zhang Ziming: "Then why are we looking for them? Aren't we mainly targeting Japanese pirates and pirates who come ashore to rob? This group of people is not worth our efforts, right?"

"Yes, they were not originally on our list of targets, but we received news that the Japanese pirates who came ashore in Quanzhou last year bought the information from them." Zhang Ning said, "Last year's group of Japanese pirates acted ruthlessly, and we absolutely cannot let them live. Since we want to suppress the pirates, this group must be killed."

"We need to find out the origins and whereabouts of those pirates. Finding them is the quickest way," Zhang Ning said after taking a quick look at Qu Le. "But these people are very smart and not easy to catch. They go home when they go ashore. They are all related to each other in the same village. We will be discovered if we get close to their homes. It's difficult to do anything even if we send out several groups of people. Maybe the Taoist priests have a solution?"

Li Wenying looked at Zhang Ziming, and Zhang Ziming turned his head to look at Pan Jun who was standing behind him.

Zhang Ning also went to see Pan Yun. After looking at Qu Le, he said, "Young Master Qu is following Taoist Priest Pan? That's great. Young Master Qu has seen the portraits of those pirates, but you are new faces to them. You are the most suitable to take action."

"And with Master Pan's ability, he will surely hit the target with one strike."

What if not?
Pan Jun complained in his heart but didn't say it out loud.

After all, she also has to save face. Pan Sanzhu has such a good reputation, and she also has the burden of being a celebrity.

Pan Yun smiled faintly and agreed: "Okay, leave it to us."

That afternoon, five people appeared on the street, leading horses bought from Shangqing Town.

They have different missions, so they have to act separately.

Lou Tong was finally able to get rid of their team and was very happy.

Standing on the street, Qu Le asked them: "How do we catch people?"

Pan Yun: "Let's first think about how to get into the village and find the person." Qu Le: "That's not difficult, I'll just show you the portrait."

Pan Yun: "Walk in with open arms?"

Qu Le: "Don't you know how to burrow underground? Just burrow into the village, capture the person and bring him out. How much trouble is that?"

Pan Yun looked at him steadily and said, "Qu Le, tell me the truth, you didn't volunteer for this and just wanted us to do it, did you?"

Qu Le: "Isn't my idea a good one?"

"Not good!" The four of them said in unison. Pan Yun asked him, "Do you know what escape means? Escape is used to escape!"

"It's a good method if we can catch people." Qu Le said.

Miao Zhen disagreed: "That would consume a lot of energy. When you go out, you have to keep your Dantian at more than 70%..."

"Okay, if other methods fail to catch the person, use this method." Pan Yun stretched out his hand to Qu Le.

Qu Le was stunned: "What?"

Pan Yun: “Money!”

"I've thought about it. We are a typical wealthy family. Aren't we the kind of people that pirates like?" Pan Yun said, "Young men like us don't do shady things. Isn't this a pirate village? We can go in openly!"

Qu Le: ...

The thing Qu Le lacks the least is money, even though he doesn't have any on him now.

He took a bronze plate and led Pan Yun and three others into a money shop. Quarters of an hour later, they were respectfully escorted out by the shopkeeper.

He had an extra stack of banknotes in his arms.

After walking a few steps outside, he took out a banknote and handed it to Pan Yun: "Here, the money you asked for."

Pan Jun took it with both hands, but only flipped it over. After taking the money for a while, he returned it angrily, ignoring the dark clouds floating above his head: "Your money, you still keep it."

Qu Le sighed and said, "We are all here to suppress the bandits, why are you still being so hesitant? Take it quickly, the sky is cloudy, I feel like it's going to rain."

Miao Zhen: "Today and tomorrow will both be sunny, no rain."

Qu Le pointed at the dark clouds gradually gathering in the sky and said, "You call this a sunny day?"

"As long as you have the money, everything will be fine," Miaohe said disdainfully, "Don't be so long-winded. Just take it when Junior Master-Uncle asks you to. When you need to buy something, just pay for it."

So, he not only has to be a money bag, but also a follower?
Qu Le muttered to himself but didn't say it out loud, and stuffed the money back into his arms.

In other words, they are really capable. If it were someone else, he wouldn't listen.

Pan Yun took him around, and when they came out of the last shop, the identities of all five of them had changed.

Qu Le looked down at the clothes on his body and said with disdain: "Can you enter the village like this? These clothes are not as good as the clothes I wore when I was a young master at home."

He said, "I never bought my clothes in ready-made clothing stores before. I always had people come to my house to measure my clothes, or I had my servants make them. We have a sewing room at home."

Pan Yun: "Yes, yes, but isn't it too late? This place is quite far from Fuzhou Yongtai, and they don't know the clothes we bought in the clothing store, so we'll just have to make do with it."

Qu Le: "It's not that I can't wear it. When I was traveling around, I wore coarse linen clothes and even slept in a cowshed."

"Great! A true knight is not particular about small matters," Pan Yun praised casually, and then said, "Let's go, nephew, change the horses and replace them with carriages." (End of this chapter)
