After receiving Baoxiang’s report, Feng Ziying could hardly believe it and stared at him intently.
But looking at Baoxiang's anxious look, Feng Ziying suppressed the rage and annoyance in her heart, took a deep breath, and sat back down in the official hat chair after having already jumped up.
Just sitting on it made the originally sturdy chair seat creak.
“Are there any casualties?” Feng Ziying felt that his palms could not help but sweat slightly, which even made him feel more scared than the danger he encountered.
"I heard from Ruixiang that fortunately Mr. Wu had arranged a few people to protect him in the car in advance. Except for the five of them, two of them were seriously injured. Among the rest of the people in our house, only two of the coachmen suffered some minor injuries from the fall, and they were all fine.
, Auntie, Jin Chuan'er, and sister Xiangling were just a little frightened, and two horses were robbed, and the car was also somewhat damaged."
Baoxiang was so frightened by the sudden sparkle in Feng Ziying's eyes that he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her, but his heart was pounding.
After serving the uncle for so many years, this was the first time he saw him angry.
In the past, even if the uncle scolded people, it was just an understatement. He and Ruixiang had done something wrong and needed to be punished, but the uncle's words were always fair and peaceful, and he rarely got angry.

It's no wonder that everyone in the house said that the uncle was naked, and the wife also said that the uncle was more composed than when he was young.
Feng Ziying felt a little at ease.
This time it really all depended on Wu Yaoqing's caution.
Er Sister You, Jin Chuan'er, and Xiangling came to Yongping Mansion a few days late.
Originally, he said that they would come over soon after he came to Yongping, but later he felt that he would be busy for a while and even had to make trips to various states and counties, so he asked them to come later, which lasted for a month.
Therefore, when arriving, Feng Ziying also felt that it would be enough to have one or two people accompanying the carriage. It would only take two or three days for the carriages to arrive, so there was no need to be so nervous.
However, Wu Yaoqing still thought that the situation here in Yongping was unfamiliar. Since three carriages were coming to bring various household items, it was better to be more cautious, so he arranged for five people to escort them there.
Unexpectedly, she actually encountered such an attack, which made Feng Ziying furious and frightened for a while.
“Where were they attacked?” As soon as Feng Ziying said this, she realized that she had lost her composure. How could Baoxiang know about it? He had to go back and find out what happened.
“I heard from Ruixiang that he was attacked on the way from Zhenzi Town to Shahe Ferry.” Baoxiang made inquiries first before reporting to Feng Ziying.
"Well, I understand." Feng Ziying composed herself, "You go back first, I will be back soon."
Feng Ziying is now not sure whether this attack on her family was a deliberate attack on her, or whether it was an accidental encounter with the bandits.
If it’s the former, then everything you say and do may fall into their eyes. If you panic or lose your temper in anger, you may make the other party even more presumptuous.
Zhenzi Town is a famous town in the east of Jingdong and a large town in the west of Luanzhou. It got its name because the mountains are covered with hazelnuts.
This area has gentle terrain and fertile soil. It has always been known as the "Granary of Luanzhou". Industries such as brewing, iron smelting, iron making, bricks and tiles are quite prosperous.
There are two official roads heading east from here, one is 110 miles due east to Lulong County, the capital of Yongping Prefecture, and the other is 90 miles southeast to Luanzhou City.
The theory here is already considered the hinterland of Yongping Prefecture, and bandits are still so rampant, which shows that the public security of Yongping Prefecture is not stable.
However, what makes Feng Ziying a little confused is that according to what You Shilu said, these bandits basically have very accurate intelligence information before they take action. They still look down on ordinary small traders who are not very profitable, and they are basically looking for money.
Start with Liaodong or the caravans returning from Liaodong.
Although there are a few carriages for people like my family, it is impossible to think about how much gold and silver they brought with them. They are incomparable to the caravan. Moreover, if they knew that this was their concubine, these people would really dare to
If you start, then Feng Ziying feels that it is really not for money.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying's anger rose in her heart, but she became calmer on the outside.
After coming to this time and space, he has rarely felt the same emotions as he does today. He was also frightened when he encountered the Linqing uprising and when he went to the grassland to see the fortune-telling rabbit and was attacked by the enemy.
Wang Xiangchun has also been angry before when he was provoked, but this was really the first time for him to be so angry and slightly scared like today.
He found that he was becoming more and more integrated into this era and into the identity of Feng Keng, and the people around him were becoming more and more integrated with his destiny and feelings, making him unconsciously feel worried and happy for them.
.
Second sister You, Jin Chuan'er, and Xiang Ling have all shared the same bed with me, and they all have a relationship with me. Once one of them dies, I'm afraid it will be a blow to me.
It will also be heavy.
After Baoxiang left for a while, Feng Ziying slowly left the government office and walked to the mansion in the back street.
The carriage has already entered the yard. When Feng Ziying entered, the servants were still helping to unload the boxes and cages from the carriage and put them into the house one by one under the command of Jinchuan'er.
As soon as Feng Ziying entered the room, Second Sister You and Xiang Ling gathered around her, while Jin Chuaner also temporarily put aside his command and trotted over.
Seeing Second Sister You's timid and frightened look, Jin Chuan'er and Xiang Ling were also frightened and turned pale, and Feng Ziying was busy comforting her for a while.
After the three women's moods stabilized, Feng Ziying went to visit the injured two again.
Wu Yaoqing has arranged for a doctor to rebandage and change the dressings for the two of them, and also asked about the situation at that time.
“Sir, I plan to bring someone over to investigate the scene. Although I have already reported it to the official, I estimate that the level of the guys in the Luanzhou Prefecture Yamen Prison Prison is very difficult to produce any substantial results...”
Wu Yaoqing finished asking and then came to Feng Ziying's room to report.
"What's the gain?" Feng Ziying trusted Wu Yaoqing. If the other party hadn't been cautious this time, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy.
Looking at the injuries of the two people, one was hit by an arrow and the other was injured by a chop with a narrow-edged knife. Fortunately, he used the sword to block it, otherwise half of his shoulder would have been removed.
Even so, it would be difficult for the two of them to recover from their injuries without half a year of rest.
"It's hard to say now." Wu Yaoqing's temperament was admired by Feng Ziying. The bigger the event, the more calm he became. "From the feedback from our people, there are about thirty bandits, and seven or eight of them are wearing armor."
,Many people are good at using bows and arrows??,..."
Thirty horsemen, equipped with armor, good at using bows and arrows. When these words came out of Wu Yaoqing's mouth, Feng Ziying's heart sank.
Although horses from the northern border are not particularly rare, horses that can be used by bandits for riding and shooting are by no means ordinary steeds. If such good horses are not owned by the military, only local wealthy families can acquire them in one go.
Thirty horses.
The armor is even more unusual. The armor Wu Yaoqing mentioned is definitely not the ordinary Orion leather armor, but a leather armor made of solid cowhide, and may even be mixed with iron wire and iron rings!
Who could be the person with this kind of armor?
The Great Zhou Dynasty did not have strict controls on cold weapons other than fire guns, but it strictly inspected armors. Even if a wealthy family kept a few privately, they would take great risks. Now, seven or eight armor thieves appeared all of a sudden.
Bandits, have the level of bandits in Yongping Prefecture reached a level comparable to that of the regular army?
Being good at using bows and arrows sounds ordinary. There are many hunters in this mountainous area who can use arrows, and there are also many good ones, so it’s nothing.
But you must know that the person who was hit by the arrow is not an ordinary person, but a Northland expert recruited by Wu Yaoqing. He can easily identify the position by listening to the wind, and he can't dodge the opponent's arrow!
At this level, Feng Ziying can’t think of any bandits who are so powerful?
“Their raid situation...” Feng Ziying said thoughtfully.
Wu Yaoqing also knew that this boss might have some suspicions. Thirty horsemen, armor, and sharp archers. Even though Yong civilians were brave and brave, this was still beyond imagination.
“I also asked two people in the government, they have been with the Governor for many years, but according to them, this kind of ambush and subsequent siege did not look like a military style..."
Feng Ziying shook her head.
Feng An and Feng Tai were two servants left to him by his father. One injured his waist in a fall on the battlefield, and the other was lame after being hit by an arrow in his right leg. However, his martial arts skills and experience were still there, so he withdrew from the army.
I followed my father as a long-term follower, and now I follow myself.
Although the two of them are not as good as those recruited by Wu Yaoqing in single combat, they are both good at bows and arrows.
It was all thanks to the two men's bows and arrows that they contained the opponent's surprise attack, preventing the other party from fully exerting its strength and giving our own a chance. Otherwise, it is hard to say what would have happened.
Since the other party is well prepared and may even be familiar with this kind of work, he must have practiced it for a long time. If it is really related to people in the army, he will naturally not use the army's attack and encirclement techniques.
, and these thieves may not all be members of the army, they may be deserters, or they may be guards of wealthy families.
But no matter what, Feng Ziying felt that it should have something to do with Jizhen.
You Shigong's time in charge of Ji Town was still too short. Ji Town not only had Li Chengliang's direct descendants, but also Ma Gui's men. However, You Shigong had no previous experience in taking charge of a town, so he lacked some experience.
Feng Ziying is still unclear about the purpose and intention of this group of people to attack his family, but he is sure that it has nothing to do with making money.
Is it because you want to get back the cheese that some people have tampered with from the hundreds of craftsmen, or have you started investigating the robberies that have occurred on the official road from the capital to western Liaoning through Lulong in the past few years?
Are there even more hidden, complex and deeper factors?
