Chapter two hundred and eighty-four: dark investigation (11)
The official road is a key transportation line connecting counties, prefectures and prefectures, and is very important. Therefore, every time the Black Armor Army takes a place, it will send people to clear the obstacles on the official road.
When Fan Wei was ordered to lead troops to occupy Jiangzhou, Pang Bin and his team had already issued a document to clearly inform him that the official road must be kept smooth and regularly clear out possible threats nearby.
It's been so long now, so it shouldn't have happened.
Liu Feng glanced around him briefly. Judging from the number of corpses on the ground, this caravan can be regarded as a medium-sized caravan with a large number of people.
Judging from the clothing, there were more than 100 guards killed, which was a powerful force. However, they were still killed by bandits here, and they were still near the official road, which shows that the bandits are of great strength and cannot be ignored.
Is this why Fan Wei did not pay attention to it, or is it that the local people disobeyed?
Thinking of this, Liu Feng's face became a little gloomy. In an instant, everyone around him felt inexplicably panic, especially the thin guy, who suddenly felt that the person in front of him had a gloomy face, which was even more terrifying than the county magistrate he had seen before.
He responded timidly: "Listen, I heard that the county has sent troops to clear out several times, but for some reason, it has not succeeded."
After all, I am just a low-level guy, and I am busy with food and clothing every day. I don’t pay much attention to this kind of thing and don’t know much about it.
However, the injured man next to him looked at Liu Feng and suddenly spoke: "In fact, the so-called clearance is just a scam to fool the people. In fact, the county soldiers and bandits have become in a collusion and collusion!"
Although the man was very weak, his eyes were bright and his consciousness was obviously awake.
"Is your words proven?"
Liu Feng frowned. If this is true, it means that Fan Wei is too lax in Jiangzhou's management, at least he fails in employment. If it continues for a long time, problems will inevitably arise.
The man tried hard to squeeze out a trace of strength from his soft body and stabilize his body. There was a hint of mockery in his voice, "Every time the county sent troops to clear the enemy, the bandits on Heigu Peak would run into the deep mountains and hide, leaving the county soldiers to vacate. Tell me, how about such a coincidence in this world?"
He looked at the people around him, his voice suddenly increased, and he turned his mind: "It must be someone who informed the bandits in advance. How could anyone else know about secret matters such as sending troops to suppress the bandits, except for those big figures in the county soldiers? What is this not a scheming thing?"
"Isn't anyone informed the city of the matter here?"
A crisp sound came, and not far away, Lu Yi slightly lifted her skirt with both hands and jumped gently on several bluestones, like a butterfly, crossing the bumpy ground and walking towards this side.
The big man looked at Lu Yi who was walking over, and a hint of stunning appeared in his eyes. Such a beautiful woman might be the wife and concubine of the other party. It was such a blessing.
He calmed down and did not dare to look at it. He continued, "No one went, nor did he dare to go. Heigu Peak originally had no bandits. Now this bandits emerged after they fell into the hands of the thief Black Armor Army in Jiangzhou. It is obvious that these bandits and the people in the county are just a group of people! Isn't it a plea to commit suicide when I go to the capital city to complain?"
As soon as this said, the man did not notice that the eyes of the people around him changed immediately.
Liu Feng twitched his cheeks slightly, and said with a smile, "This brother knows a lot."
The man raised his head slightly, his nostrils slightly expanded, and said a little lustful: "Don't be satisfied with my benefactor, I have no other skills, but I have many friends. In this world, the news is naturally more informed than ordinary people."
"You are well-informed, why are you still ambushed by bandits?"
As a member of the factory guard, Lu Yi inexplicably disliked this man, so she mocked him.
"I can't blame me. I have advised the shopkeeper of the caravan that a Qi merchant would pass by here at noon today. When we go together, we will not be targeted by bandits. He just doesn't listen, so he ends up like this."
Shi Kai hurriedly defended.
"Qi Shang? Do you mean that bandits won't rob Qi Shang?"
"That's not, because the caravans of Qi Shang have their own guards, and every time they go to a place, they will be escorted by county soldiers, so naturally the bandits dare not act rashly."
Speaking of this, Shi Kai sighed and complained that the caravan owner was reluctant to pay the money, so he set off without waiting for Qi Shang, which almost killed himself.
Next, Liu Feng left some people to deal with the corpses here so that the weather would not be hot, and no one would care about the corpses here, which would cause a plague after rotting.
Half an hour later, a large convoy appeared on the official road, which was exactly what Shi Kai mentioned in Qishang.
The convoy had a total of five or six hundred people. In addition to the convoy itself, there were also two hundred soldiers holding spears.
"Here, come, please come and negotiate. According to convention, a small caravan like you only need to give fifty taels of silver to follow them."
A trace of red light appeared on Shi Kai's pale face because of excitement. As long as he follows Qi Shang, he can go home safely.
However, I thought it was just a simple negotiation, and the other party also accepted the money, but unexpectedly, something happened in the end.
A young man with white face and red lips and red books came hurriedly.
It turned out that the owner of the caravan took a fancy to the war horses in Liu Feng's team and wanted to buy them all, and the food was very ugly.
"This is impossible. We are all purebred war horses in the Wei Kingdom. You are too low to even afford the war horses of the Qian Dynasty."
Huang Shin, who was in charge of negotiations, shook her head repeatedly. In addition to being Liu Feng's cook, he also played the role of butler Liu Feng.
"This place is dry land, so you have to follow the price here. And you say this is Wei Ma or Wei Ma? I don't look like it."
The Qi business manager began to mess around and bully others with his power. In short, if he didn't sell the horse to him, he would not let Liu Feng and the others follow them.
After Huang Shan went back to ask Liu Feng for instructions, he flatly rejected Qi's business manager.
"You have thought about it. The only one of ours who has returned from here during this period of time. After passing this village, there is no such store. Which one is more important, horse or life, please consider it carefully."
The manager said with a sinister face.
"Then you don't have to worry about it. My master also asked me to tell you that this place is not Qiandi nor Qi."
Huang Shan replied coldly, then turned around and left.
"Bah, you're not jealous!"
Manager Qi spitted a mouthful of phlegm at Huang Shan's back, and then smiled at Shutong and said, "Go back and tell the boss that I will definitely find a way to get the horse."
Shutong didn't say anything, just nodded and turned back into the team, and got into the carriage of a carriage.
"Come here!"
"What are the instructions for the manager?"
"You go to Heigu Peak immediately, do you know what to do?"
"Please rest assured, the subordinates will do it properly!"
