These two people came to suppress the bandits, and the court was obviously serious about it.
According to his opinion, they should avoid their sharp edges at this time. Anyway, the property they robbed is enough for them to live for a long time.
Zhao Wei has always disliked Zhao Jiang's overly cautious character.
Moreover, Zhao Jiang usually makes the decision on many things, and he has long been unhappy in his heart.
Zhao Jiang patiently persuaded: "Weizi, listen to my brother, General Gu and Gu Qingying are not simple people. Judging from Gu Qingying's two actions of sneaking into the Beiliang Kingdom camp, she must be outstanding. We all
The things robbed in years are enough for us to live peacefully for several lifetimes, why take risks?"
He didn't want to confront Gu Qingying and the others.
The more Zhao Wei listened, the more dissatisfied he became.
He stood up and said, "If you want to take a walk, just don't delay the brothers' earning money. I heard that the Shen family has a batch of silk and satin that has to go through the official road. This batch of silk and satin is worth at least one to twenty thousand taels of silver."
He won't let an opportunity to make money slip away.
Zhao Jiang didn't know what to say.
He glanced at the brothers below, and most of them were dissatisfied with him.
Sighing and shaking his head: "That's all. Since you don't want to listen, I won't persuade you. If you are willing to hide with me, just follow me. If you don't want to, just stay! We are all good brothers. There is no need to make trouble over these things.
stiff."
These words are exactly what Zhao Wei meant.
Zhao Wei just hopes that Zhao Jiang will leave. As long as Zhao Jiang leaves, he can safely lead his own business with these brothers.
In the end, Zhao Jiang left with more than ten people who were willing to leave, preparing to hide deep in the mountains and wait until the edge passed before making any plans.
Zhao Wei integrated the following brothers.
In the cave hall, torches illuminated the entire cave brightly.
Zhao Wei looked at the dozens of brothers below with pride.
He said loudly: "The Shen family has a batch of silk and satin that will pass through the official road at the foot of the mountain tomorrow. You should have heard that the imperial court sent General Gu and Gu Qingying to suppress the bandits. I won't say more. We must do this.
Be beautiful."
Zhao Jiang will regret it only if he does it well.
Only then did he have the opportunity to ridicule Zhao Jiang.
Gu Qingying and General Gu took their cronies to a small forest.
General Gu looked at the bandit's stronghold halfway up the mountain opposite and said: "The cave halfway up the mountain is the bandit's stronghold. These bandits are very cunning. They built a stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is almost impossible for us to attack it."
This was what worried him the most.
Gu Qingying took a careful look around and said: "It is indeed not easy to attack. You see, the official road is just below the stockade, and you can't see the stockade at all from the official road."
Because of the cover of trees and the terrain, these bandits could not only observe passing caravans in the village, but also quickly return to the village after robbing them.
General Gu said sadly: "No wonder the imperial court failed many times in suppressing bandits."
Gu Qingying looked around carefully and then said: "We can go, I have already thought of a way."
Since it's not easy to attack the stronghold, let's lure out all the bandits.
General Gu was surprised and asked: "What are you going to do?"
Gu Qingying didn't hide anything and told her the plan in her heart.
General Gu was pleasantly surprised: "You think it's okay, but you can't catch them all in one go."
Catch them all in one fell swoop? Gu Qingying never thought that he could catch them all in one fell swoop.
After all, no one knows if there is any other exit from the cave where the bandits live.
What if there is?
Wouldn't it be foolish to attack the stronghold?
If one side attacks, the other side has already escaped, but in the end the effort is in vain.
It's better to catch these bandits while they are out to steal property, and capture as many as they can.
Several people found a secluded place and planned to spend the night here.
Gu Qingying said: "When I left the Imperial City, my cousin told me that the Shen family often had caravans pass by here, because they were followed by guards every time. These bandits did not rob every day, they only robbed one or two taels a month.
The number of times is within the tolerance range, I thought, we can disguise ourselves as guards, and we can catch these people while they are robbing."
No one knows how many hidden sentries are around.
General Gu didn't know these things yet, but when he heard what Gu Qingying said, he sighed: "It seems that it is not easy for the Shen family to do business."
Gu Qingying said helplessly: "If anything is easy, I will bring a few people to pretend to be guards, and you will take care of me."
On the way here, I investigated clearly and found that there were more than just the gangs in front of me nearby.
In fact, there were at least several groups along the way.
It's just that these bandit groups differ in size.
Some people have more, some have less.
General Gu didn't want to let Gu Qingying take the risk and said, "I'll disguise myself with someone, you can guide me."
Gu Qingying looked at General Gu seriously and said, "If anything happens, I can guarantee my own safety. Can you guarantee your own safety?"
This sentence reminded General Gu.
yes!
If something really happened, Gu Qingying had space and could hide in it.
But he had nothing and would only make Gu Qingying worried.
Gu Qingying continued: "We are going to stay here to suppress bandits for a long time. Can we let you disguise next time?"
The group of bandits in front of me is said to be the most violent in Muyu Town.
Moreover, it has such a good reputation that businessmen will definitely be frightened by it.
General Gu wanted to say something, but in the end he did not continue.
Instead, he said: "Then I'll listen to you."
Gu Qingying left with his people overnight. When the caravan passed through Muyu Town, it would usually stop at Qifu Town to rest.
They have to find the Shen family's motorcade before dawn.
There were often motorcades passing by the Shen family, so she wanted to try her luck.
The few people moved very quickly. After leaving the area monitored by the bandits, they found the horses that had been hidden here in advance in the woods.
Before dawn, Gu Qingying and others arrived at Qifu Town.
Searching next to the inn, I actually found two teams of Shen family members in Qifu Town. One team transported silk and satin, and the other team transported medicinal herbs.
Gu Qingying gave Shen Yunzheng the jade token that was given to her, and the head steward immediately became respectful.
When they heard that Gu Qingying and the others were going to escort the caravan past Muyu, they were overjoyed.
A group of five people all disguised themselves as ordinary guards.
Gu Qingying even disguised herself as a man and sat in the carriage with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper sat aside and was very cautious. Occasionally he glanced at Gu Qingying secretly, but quickly looked away. He did not dare to look at Gu Qingying openly.
He is just a small steward of the Shen family, an extremely small steward.
Usually, he would accompany the caravans to transport silk and satin to various cities.
He has been working in the Shen family for decades and never thought that he would have the opportunity to meet a big shot in his direct line.
