In fact, Jin Feng did not happen to pass through Suizhou, but he had lost contact with Jinchuan and Xichuan for too long, so Jin Feng deliberately took a detour and took a trip from Suizhou.
If something happens, Xiaoyu will definitely send a message to the stations in Suizhou that he may pass through.
The reaction of the female shopkeeper now also proves this point.
"Something big happened in Jinchuan!"
As the female shopkeeper spoke, she took out several letters from her arms: "Sir, these are the letters I received recently!"
The letter was kept in the arms of the female shopkeeper, and it was still carrying her body temperature. According to Jin Feng's usual boring character, he would definitely be embarrassed to pick it up directly.
But at this time, he couldn't care about it anymore. He grabbed the envelope without waiting for Tang Xiaobei to reach out.
Jin Feng quickly browsed through all the letters, and his face turned green with anger.
The letters came in in the past few days. They not only talked about Xie Xiguang and Cai Liuyang, but also talked about the recent banditry in Jinchuan!
"Brother Liang has wiped out all the bandits in Guangyuan. How can there be so many bandits?"
Tang Xiaobei also read the letter and gritted his teeth and said: "It must be Xie Xiguang who is up to something. Sir, please ask Xiaoyu to investigate. I suspect these bandits are Lao Ye soldiers pretending to be evil!"
It sounds outrageous for soldiers to pretend to be bandits to rob, but it actually happened in Dakang, and not once or twice.
Soldiers also need to eat and live, but their food and salary have been deducted by the dandy generals, so they can only do this.
"The other soldiers pretended to be bandits because they knew very well that the people did not dare to resist and would not leave any clues. But we are different in Jinchuan. The bodyguards will not be lenient. It is easy to capture some prisoners and they can be questioned at a casual interrogation.
"
Jin Feng shook his head and said, "Even if I gave Xie Xiguang ten more courages, he wouldn't dare to do this!"
"But where did these bandits come from?" Tang Xiaobei asked.
"Xiao Bei, there were no bandits in the world in the beginning. People were forced to live no longer, so bandits appeared."
Jin Feng sighed: "Judging from the letter, the first bandits who appeared were probably brought in from other places, but the bandits that followed were probably ordinary people around Jinchuan who couldn't survive."
"But my husband, you are raising food to prepare for disaster relief!"
Tang Xiaobei felt aggrieved for Jin Feng: "How can ordinary people do this?"
"You can't blame the people for this. They were just taken advantage of."
Jin Feng sighed and took out a piece of paper: "Look here, Xiaoyu found out that someone has been fanning the flames recently, saying that Jinchuan is full of food, and our Xihewan is extremely rich, with mountains of copper coins.
same height.
Sichuan and Sichuan have been hit by disasters this year, especially in the mountainous areas of northern Sichuan. The people can no longer survive. I heard that such a place can't be robbed, can you not rob it?"
"I can understand the powerful people blocking our granaries so that they can sell their food, but why do they incite the people to rob Jinchuan? What good does it do to them?"
Tang Xiaobei said angrily: "What are they planning?"
"What else can I want to do? In order to prevent Brother Liang from suppressing bandits along the way, I want to return to Jinchuan as soon as possible."
Jin Feng said: "Although the rich and powerful families are dirty, they care about face the most.
They can make fortune by disaster, but they can't let others know about it, so they can't build granaries openly. The best way is to hide the grain in bandits' dens.
Brother Liang's suppression of bandits is tantamount to robbing them of their food. It would be strange if they weren't crazy."
"So that's it." Tang Xiaobei suddenly realized, and then asked: "But it's not right. The bandits are almost surrounding the village now. Brother Liang and his army will not be able to rush back no matter how fast they are, right?"
"The enemy's strategy must have been miscalculated."
Jin Feng said: "They may have wanted to find a group of bandits to threaten Brother Liang at first, but they didn't expect that so many people would follow suit. Now it's out of control."
"It's out of control, why are they still fanning the flames?"
"Although they lost control, their goal was achieved." Jin Feng said: "There are fortresses, double humps, and black water ditch around the village. These places are also easy to defend and difficult to attack. A group of temporarily formed bandits want to defeat them.
It’s difficult, Brother Liang, if you don’t want to see the entire Jinchuan being ravaged by bandits, you still have to rush back as soon as possible for reinforcements!”
Jin Feng said: "So although their strategy was miscalculated, it achieved its goal and was more successful than planned. Because the people who are taking action now were not found by them, and there will be no flaws left!"
"Then what should we do now?" Tang Xiaobei asked.
"There is obviously someone master planning behind this this time. I have to think about it carefully."
Jin Feng looked at the female shopkeeper: "Prepare the food, and then send someone to feed our horses well."
"Yes," the female shopkeeper asked, "Where does Mr. live? A chamber of commerce or an inn?"
"We're not staying anywhere, we'll just leave after eating and resting!"
With such a big incident happening in Jinchuan, Jin Feng couldn't wait to fly back now, how could he be in the mood to rest?
While eating, my mind was thinking about countermeasures.
The letter paper next to the rice bowl is also densely written.
"Send this letter back as soon as possible!"
After dinner, Jin Feng called the female shopkeeper, pointed to the letter on the table, and then left with Tang Xiaobei.
After Jin Feng received the news, he was on his way frantically. When the Ninth Princess, who was far away in the capital, went to the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce to find Luo Lan, he also learned about the situation in Xihewan.
"What did you say? Jinchuan is full of bandits now?"
The Ninth Princess looked in disbelief.
She has been to Jinchuan and seen its prosperity and bustle.
In her mind, Jinchuan is the most dynamic county with the best development prospects in Dakang.
It is also the place where bandits are least likely to appear.
Everyone has a decent job and can earn a lot of money. Who would risk beheading to become a bandit?
"I can't believe it either, but Xiaoyu would never joke about something like this."
Luo Lan said and handed the letter from Jinchuan to the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Princess quickly took it.
Xiaoyu wrote to Luo Lan just to ask for help from the Ninth Princess, so she wrote everything she needed to write in the letter.
With the wisdom of the Ninth Princess, she immediately figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
"Have these bastards had enough?"
After the Ninth Princess read the letter, she was so angry that she threw the cup and smashed it into pieces.
Qin'er, who was standing at the door, quickly rushed into the back room.
Luo Lan quickly lowered his head.
After knowing Ninth Princess for so long, Ninth Princess always looked dignified and calm. This was the first time Luo Lan heard her curse.
"Qin'er, tell the clan's mansion that I want to face the emperor!"
The Ninth Princess said coldly.
"Your Highness, the clan government has said that you cannot enter the palace..."
Qin'er said softly.
The Zongren Mansion specializes in managing members of the royal family. When the Ninth Princess went to Xichuan, she had already signed a marriage contract with Tubo. According to the rules, she could no longer live in the palace.
After returning to Beijing this time, the Ninth Princess has been living in a separate courtyard outside the palace.
The emperor also felt guilty. The Ninth Princess submitted several applications to meet the saint, but he rejected them all.
Normally, Princess Ninth could still wait patiently, but now she really couldn't wait any longer.
"Tell the sect's mansion that I must face the Holy Spirit today. If they dare to stop me again, they will force me to die together!"
