Chapter 289 Bandit

Dian Wei glanced at Zhao Chuxue at this time and suddenly looked suspicious.

When he met Zhao Chuxue just now, the other person seemed to be wearing something different.

Why, after a while, he changed his clothes, his face was flushed, and he was covered in sweat.

Thinking of this, Dian Wei showed a strange expression, and the eyes he looked at Zhao Chuxue and Bai Yutian became even more wrong.

Zhao Chuxue didn't know that Dian Wei had misunderstood her, but when she saw Dian Wei's wandering eyes, she became furious.

The last time she was seen by Bai Yutian, she was helpless, but this time she couldn't help herself.

"Brother Dian, I just want to try out my new sword. How about you come with me to spar later?"

"Ah, okay, okay." Dian Wei nodded quickly, but he didn't know that Zhao Chuxue had already held a grudge against him.

Bai Yutian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt guilty at this time, so he didn't say much.

An hour later, Dian Wei walked out with his swollen eyes and tattered clothes.

Zhao Chuxue is not talking about exchanging ideas. This is clearly a deadly attack.

And this long sword was used to smash it no matter what. In the end, he clearly stopped and was punched by Zhao Chuxue.

Behind Dianwei was the cheerful Zhao Chuxue. After venting, she felt much better.

Soon, Bai Yutian's order spread to Jiangbei, agreeing that Kou Wang should find the person who intercepted the grain at all costs while guarding Chanzhou.

When those guys intercepted the food, they left no clues and there were no casualties, so it was difficult to investigate.

However, Kou Wang was not discouraged. He was determined to investigate these people and avenge his dead brothers.

The group of people who intercepted the grain were naturally members of the Zhang and Zheng families arranged by Min Gaochi through Zhang Cunxian and Zheng Kaiji.

However, these people were not members of Zhang Zheng's family, but people recruited from Jiangbei by Zhang Cunxian and Zheng Kaiji.

These people form small gangs in the local area to help the government manage the people, and sometimes help the government handle some private matters.

This kind of clique-like behavior is not uncommon everywhere and happens frequently.

The most important thing is that the grain transport team is not familiar with the terrain of Jiangbei, but these people are all natives of Jiangbei and are very familiar with it.

It may not be possible to let them fight, but they are very good at causing trouble and grabbing food.

In Chanzhou City, Kou Wang slapped the table so hard that it almost broke.

Beside him, in addition to a series of his cronies, there were Zhang Yi and Xiong Kai.

They are responsible for transporting food, and they are not to blame for the food problem this time, so they plan to investigate with Kou Wang.

Although Kou Wang is proud, he is not reckless.

His current status is not entirely due to his strong force.

He also learned a lot of knowledge while guarding Eagle City with his father Kou Zaixiong.

He led 50,000 troops and horses from Kou Zaixiong, but now only less than 10,000 people have reached Chanzhou City.

Therefore, Kou Wang acted more cautiously and absolutely did not expect more sacrifices.

As for Nanchuan, after they occupied the entire Huaizhou, they seemed to have no plans to continue the attack for the time being, which gave Kou Wang and others a chance to breathe.

However, this failure still made Kou Wang feel humiliated.

He left the house and came to the city wall, looking in the direction of Huaizhou in the distance.

There, surrounded by mountains and flowing rivers, it is a famously beautiful place in the Zhou Dynasty besides Jiangnan.

This time, he will not lose to Jing Ling. This is just the beginning. When they gather their strength, they will be able to take back Huaizhou.

After Kou Wang arrived in Chanzhou City, the first thing he did was not to investigate the person who intercepted the grain, but to curb the rumors.

If the rumors are not eliminated and the people's support is lost, they will have no place to gain a foothold.

Kou Wang was taught by his father about the importance of people's hearts.

He personally inspected Chanzhou City and found that although Jiangbei was relatively wealthy, many people could not afford to eat and were begging in the streets like beggars.

In fact, the Zhang family and the Zheng family ruled Jiangbei and did not do many good things for Jiangbei.

Those who profit are always the aristocratic families and have nothing to do with these ordinary people.

Coupled with the locust plague some time ago, the people living here at this time are no different from the victims in drought-stricken areas.

Kou Wang couldn't bear it, so he immediately ordered his men to divide some food and distribute it to the people in the city.

Some people wonder, they are very nervous about food, and if they give some away, they may not have much left.

However, Kou Wang has absolute authority among everyone. Even though he is young, he still looks like Kou Zaixiong in his words and deeds, which impresses everyone.

"We are soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. We are distributing food here. Everyone can come and get some."

"We have limited supplies here, so everyone can share some so they won't go hungry."

While distributing food, Kou Wang also asked the soldiers to publicize various measures and policies of the Great Zhou Dynasty so that people could better understand them.

At the same time, it was also mentioned about Zhang Cunxian and Zheng Kaijiyang's illegal behavior and private corruption.

These were not secrets in the first place, but now after the soldiers' accounts, coupled with the suffering of not having enough to eat for many days, the people suddenly became angry.

In fact, the most widely spread rumors are among the powerful and powerful in Jiangbei, and these lower-class people are completely being used as gunmen.

At this time, they realized clearly that this rumor was naturally disproven.

Moreover, there are also public voices opposing Zhang Cunxian and Zheng Kaiji.

In this way, Kou Wang and others easily won the hearts and minds of the people in Chanzhou City.

The news spread quickly from Chanzhou City, and the rumors were quickly put to an end.

In this way, Kou Wang can safely investigate the clues of the person who intercepted the food.

Some people even took the initiative to provide clues, saying that there were many bandits in the nearby mountains, and that the batch of food was probably intercepted by this group of people.

Kou Wang was so excited after hearing the news that he took several of his confidants to the nearby mountains overnight to look for traces of the bandits.

He also brought Zhang Yi and Xiong Kai with him. They had fought with those people. Although they had not seen their true faces, they were at least more familiar with them than Kou Wang.

Soon, they found some traces.

Somewhere in the valley, there was a light of fire.

Then under the moonlight, you can vaguely see a village somewhere.

If nothing else, this village is one of the bandit's base camps.

This group of bandits occupies the mountain as kings, owns several dens, and their whereabouts are unpredictable. They usually commit crimes of burning, killing, looting, and causing people to complain endlessly.

However, the powerful class headed by Zhang Cunxian and Zheng Kaiji simply ignored this and did not use effective means to punish them.

Kou Wang narrowed his eyes slightly and motioned the others to disperse and observe whether there were any hidden whistles nearby.

There were only about ten people in their group, but as long as there were no more than 200 people in the village, Kou Wang was confident that he could kill them all here.
