"Wuyang, this is not the way to go. They are making trouble and the whole village can't rest."
After dawn, Guan Xiaorou looked at the villagers listlessly cleaning up the ruins, and was a little worried: "Do you have any ideas?"
Last night, the enemy's harassment did not stop.
The ground harassment was okay, it all happened outside the village and caused relatively little interference to the villagers.
But the hot air balloons coming from above are like annoying mosquitoes, they come and bite you from time to time and then run away.
There were only three hot air balloons left in the village. In order to prevent them from being wiped out by the enemy, Guan Xiaorou requested that only one be launched into the air at a time. There was no way to protect them from all directions.
The enemy took advantage of this and did not stop all night. The villagers did not dare to sleep even after putting out the fire, and kept their eyes open until dawn.
Not to mention that the factory continued to work, the villagers were overwhelmed by the commotion for a few days.
"This is a tactic used by the enemy to tire them out. The best way is to find their lair and capture them all, but this will take time."
Princess Ninth said helplessly: "The only way I can think of now is to set off fireworks outside at night as a warning, and try to find the enemies before they enter the village."
"Then let's see when Xiaoyu can find them!"
Guan Xiaorou rubbed her brows and sighed: "I originally thought that Zhong Ming's group had completely controlled Jinchuan. Who knew something like this would happen again."
"A traitor like Wei Laosan can appear in our small village, let alone the whole of Jinchuan?"
Ninth Princess said: "With so many people in Jinchuan, it is normal for there to be traitors."
"I really don't know what they are thinking. Before the leader got up, everyone was almost unable to survive. Now that the leader has allowed them to live a good life, they have betrayed the leader!" Guan Xiaorou was a little angry.
"My husband has said that we don't worry about the shortage but the inequality. The village can only use a limited number of people, and those who are not selected by the village may hold a grudge.
Usually they may just say bad things behind their backs and not dare to do anything, but once someone tempts them, these people will betray easily."
The Ninth Princess said: "Sister, this is the human heart!"
"Well, the boss and I are too stupid and trust people too easily. We need to have a longer memory in the future."
Guan Xiaorou said: "Fortunately I have you Wuyang, otherwise I don't know what I would do."
"We are a family, and we should do everything as we should." Ninth Princess said with a smile.
"Yes, it should be!" Guan Xiaorou nodded heavily: "Wuyang, you can see hot air balloons from far away during the day. The bad guys don't dare to come. You go back and see Concubine Qing. She has sent people to ask about it several times."
"Okay!" Ninth Princess nodded: "Sister, I haven't slept all night, so I need to take some time to rest."
"I see."
Guan Xiaorou took the Ninth Princess's arm and walked her to the door.
After the Ninth Princess left, Guan Xiaorou did not rest. Instead, she walked around the village and asked the old village chief to arrange all the villagers who lived in thatched houses into brick houses.
Fortunately, the textile factory, the escort dormitory, and the newly built tube building were all made of bricks, otherwise we would not have been able to accommodate so many people.
After finishing all this work, it was already past noon, and Guan Xiaorou was just about to take a nap when Xiaoyu came again.
Guan Xiaorou quickly put on her clothes again and returned to the main room: "Xiaoyu, have you found the enemy's lair?"
"No," Xiaoyu said: "No matter what the wind blows, they have hot air balloons flying over, which means they have more than one lair. I have mobilized all the people I can to look for them, and I will definitely find them within three days!"
Guan Xiaorou and the Ninth Princess did not set a deadline for her. This was the deadline Xiaoyu set for herself.
If she hasn't found the other party's lair within three days, she won't be able to overcome the hurdle in her heart.
Guan Xiaorou felt a little disappointed, nodded and asked: "Then why did you come to me?"
"The results of the interrogation of the prisoners captured last night are out. According to their accounts, there are six landowners and wealthy businessmen in Jinchuan who provided cover for their infiltration, including Liu Zhilin, the owner of Liuji Trading Company, who has been providing us with kudzu."
Xiaoyu asked: "I came to see Madam to confirm how to deal with it."
"Is the news accurate?" Guan Xiaorou asked.
"I sent someone to investigate this morning, it's credible!" Xiaoyu nodded.
The kings of the Central Plains were fighting in a melee, and the war was full of smoke. Because the Qing family and the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau were in charge, Sichuan and Shu became a rare peaceful place in Dakang.
In fact, there is also a vassal king in Sichuan and Shu, who is Chen Ji's brother, but this prince has no ambitions and has been working as Prince Xiaoyao in the fiefdom without much influence.
Sichuan and Sichuan have the Qing family, a long-established powerful man with a profound background, and the newly emerged Zhenyuan Escort Agency. After Chen Ji's death, the prince did not dare to jump around, but became even more low-key, shrinking in his own fiefdom and becoming almost a transparent person.
Countless people flocked to Sichuan to escape the war.
The people arranged by Feng Sheng disguised themselves as refugees and sneaked into Jinchuan.
No matter how powerful the Zhongming Team is, it will be difficult to distinguish the origins of everyone in a short period of time.
Xiaoyu knew that there must be other spies hiding among the refugees, but it would take time to find these people. Now she could only solve the part explained by the prisoners first.
Although the Ninth Princess asked the old village chief to pass a message to her, in Xiaoyu's heart, Guan Xiaorou was the head of Xihewan, and this matter was related to the life and death of several families, so before passing the order, she came here specifically to ask for instructions.
There was a moment of struggle on Guan Xiaorou's face, but she finally said in a cold voice: "According to what Wuyang said, the whole door will be executed and corpses will be hung at the city gate!"
"Yes!" Xiaoyu took a deep look at Guan Xiaorou and sighed silently.
She watched Guan Xiaorou marry Jin Feng. She was such a kind and gentle person at the time. She even killed a pheasant without looking at her head. Once she cut her finger and was laughed at by the third aunt and the others for a long time.
Such a weak lady is now forced to kill all the people in her family.
Xiaoyu didn't know whether she should be happy for Guan Xiaorou's growth or sad for her.
But Xiaoyu knows that whether she is happy or sad, Guan Xiaorou's decision is correct.
Half an hour later, several teams of escorts rushed out of the village on horseback and rushed to various parts of Jinchuan.
Although Xiaoyu's actions were fast enough, three families knew that the matter might be exposed when they took action and ran away in advance.
Among them is the head of Liuji Trading Company.
Xiaoyu ordered Zhongming's team to search for the entire county, and then hanged the bodies of the three landowners caught outside the city.
At the same time, it was publicized throughout Jinchuan that those who are still harboring traitors can be forgiven as long as they take the initiative to confess. If they are found out by the Zhongming Team, they will be punished as collaborators and treason, and their entire family will be executed!
The Zhenyuan Escort Agency has always acted in a gentle manner and rarely kills people.
Many wealthy families were surprised by this sudden incident and immediately sent people to the county government to seek confirmation.
It was confirmed that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was really going to kill him this time, and many wealthy people were frightened.
