Chapter 178: Miserable

Zhu Yifei was stunned by his sudden action, and after reacting in an instant, he hurriedly went to help, but the man actually covered his eyes with his sleeves and cried bitterly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"If you have anything to say, let's get up and say it, I won't hide it from you, I'm working in the cottage now, I have to go back before the rooster crows three times, if you keep crying like this, I can't afford to wait" Zhu Yifei could only lament when he couldn't help him.

"Girl, how are you a weak woman in that den of thieves?" The man stopped sobbing and asked in surprise with the corners of his eyes.

"She's not a weak woman, she's a ......." covered half of the little monk's face, blocked back the Wuji Tongyan that he hadn't spit out yet, and gave him a glare by the way.

"I have my own way, you will take everything into detail, maybe I really have something to ask you for help" Zhu Yifei thought for a while.

"The girl is really chivalrous, Bodhisattva heart" The man stood up and sat on the chair under the support of his subordinates and continued to sigh: "To say that this group of thieves has been near Yanggushan Mountain for five or six years, it is said that earlier it was the exiles in the area of Shetou Mountain, and they took refuge in natural disasters and traveled to this area of Qiangzhou, just in time for the great drought here for many years, and many people died of starvation, but Qiangzhou is vast and rich, there are ten counties under it, and there are thirteen counties under each county, just take our Guanshan County as an example, but only the three counties in the area of Yanggut Mountain have been affected by disasters year after year, However, other counties have bumper harvests year after year, and grain is transferred to neighboring counties every year, and Yanggushan Mountain is just leaning on the official road, so this gang of bandits fell here and took root."

After some words, Zhu Yifei looked at the man with admiration, and she didn't expect that the logic of her words was so clear, and what she knew and heard was also very detailed.

"Five or six years ago? Are there often women who disappear here for no apparent reason? "When I think of those fish, I always feel that there is a strange thing that cannot be separated at this time.

"Well, it's just that they are all in the nearby countryside, and there are no in the city, and there were cases of a large number of livestock dying at the beginning, but unfortunately the imperial court investigation was fruitless, and it is unknown how many years it has been hanging in the end."

After taking a sip of tea, the man continued: "If you want to say that the case of the disappearance of the woman really began to happen, it was three or four years ago, at the beginning, this gang of bandits was not so rampant, but they came and went without a trace, the government sent people to arrest them several times, and even searched the mountains did not find the location of the thief's den, but the lives of many soldiers were injured by wild beasts in the mountains, and the court was tired of being dragged out, so they simply didn't care."

"Oh, I see, when did they start going down the mountain to raid houses?" As soon as the beast was mentioned, Zhu Yifei knew that it must be a ghost caused by Yan Yan.

"It was one night three years ago, I was setting up a few shops in Linzhou County, there were only wives and children at home, that night, this gang of bandits rushed down the mountain, burned and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, at first the county guard was still guarding with soldiers and people, but somehow a monster suddenly appeared" The man said with a frightened face, and his pupils were very constricted, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Monsters? Is it a big snake with horns? Zhu Yifei asked nervously.

"The girl knows?"

"Well, I've seen it"

"The snake didn't tell the girl to eat it?"

"Uh..... That snake eats people? ”

"Almost all the officers and soldiers of our county guard have perished, and there are many innocent people, even my only son," the man said, his voice choked again, almost unable to help himself.

"There is still such a thing," Zhu Yifei muttered in a deep voice.

"The serpent first broke the soldiers, and then broke open the gates, and then the bandits rushed in with their knives, first plundering the wealth, and then seizing the women and children, and my wife, my concubine, and a child who was not yet a month old, were taken by the bandits."

"When they were taken three years ago?" Zhu Yifei was shocked, if it happened three years ago, then it must have died in Huangquan now, how could such a big thing be unheard of in Taijing?

"Yes, it was three years ago that Qing's family was ruined overnight"

"Then why didn't you run away?" I couldn't help but blurt out.

"They don't know where they come from, almost all the roads leading to the neighboring counties are set with traps, if anyone dares to sneak away, they will be eaten by wild tigers and wolves, Qing is the richest man in Qiangzhou, they don't kill us, but they have to pay silver silk and women every month every year, and now there are only three of us in the entire county, and the rest of the people are dead, and the lost are scattered, and they don't know where they were plundered."

"Only the three of you left?" Thinking of the snorting dog panting in the portal I passed by just now, I suddenly understood something.

"Well, our three families are among the richest families in this Guanshan County, they keep us just to support them, and they will give them a chance to go out of the city to do business once a month, but they will also send people to follow us and monitor our every move."

"It's really inhumane," Zhu Yifei angrily slapped the table and stood up, and suddenly the intact solid wood desk shook twice and collapsed into pieces.

"Uh, that's too hard," he scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed awkwardly.

"Girl...... Really talented," the man was dumbfounded, and looked at the table before he could hold back a sentence.

"I'll compensate you" took out a bag from his waist, took out two gold leaves and handed them to the man.

The man waved his hand and said, "Qing is not short of the money at this table, but is the girl really here to catch the thief?" ”

"Of course, I've already taken a closer look at them, and I was looking for someone to help, but are you still alive?"

"The adult has been sick for a long time, and he has always closed his door"

"So, are you okay?" Zhu Yifei looked at him and said with some concern.

"If the girl has a place to send, Qing will never give up," the man said, arching his hand.

"That's right, I want you to go to Linxian to borrow all the soldiers you can borrow, and you have to think of a complete strategy to catch this gang of bandits, and help me collect a lot of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal."

"Girl, this borrowed soldier must have the dispatch documents of the imperial court, just with my businessman, how can I say that the Taishou of the counties can be moved?" The man was a little embarrassed.

"By the way, what about the Taishou in charge of the transfer of troops in Qiangzhou?" Zhu Yifei thought that if he found a county guard in the past, he would be a cannon fodder at best, so it would be better to go directly to the most senior local official, how cool would it be.

"I was dismissed in March, and it is said that the new appointee is rushing from Taijing," the man said.

"Hey, don't mention it, the new Taishou is my good friend in Taijing, but he was eaten by a tiger in the area before he entered the Yangjiling, and the emperor sent me for this" blurted out, knowing that he had lost his words, he hurriedly covered his mouth, but unfortunately it was too late to make amends.

"The girl is actually an envoy sent by the Holy Lord today?" The man stood up again excitedly, knelt down with a puff and said, "It's the villain who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai."

"Uh...... It doesn't matter, as long as you don't say it, I just came here and I lost the emperor's sword, but I brought the emperor's baby, and it shouldn't be a problem to transfer troops, so it's too guarded, who is in charge of Qiangzhou affairs for the time being? Zhu Yifei asked, the treasure she was talking about was Yan Han's close-fitting jade pendant, and there was a scroll of holy decrees, which was always hidden close to her body, fortunately, the imperial silk was waterproof and was not damaged when she fell into the water, and she was always turned into a necklace with spells and worn around her neck, and ordinary people couldn't know it at all.

"Tanhualang, who is worried at home in Fengjun County, unfortunately is the distant cousin below, but he is just ......" The man paused as he spoke.

"Huh? You're so miserable, doesn't your cousin know? Zhu Yifei was surprised.

"It's not a secret, the whole Guanshan County doesn't know much about the outside world, as long as there are correspondents, they can't survive, and the people from other counties only know that our beast is fierce, so they don't come anymore, they actually don't know much about the internal affairs of the current Guanshan County."

"Huh? Isn't there a flying pigeon book? Zhu Yifei asked.

"If there is a flying pigeon that can convey a message, and it is also shot down by the bandits and roasted and eaten, I have tried several times, and not only is it useless but I am warned, and the pigeon is also seized by them," lamented the man.

"Oh, that's okay, let's do it, you wait for me tomorrow night, and then the three of us will go to your cousin together, arrange it first, the time is tight, and then we will discuss a careful plan" Zhu Yifei looked at the sky, a little uneasy, and said: "This little master, you help take care of it first, I have to go"

"Girl, I also want to ask the girl's name," the man said hurriedly when he saw that she was about to leave.

"The surname Zhu Rong's Zhu, Ming Yifei, I'll come to you tomorrow night" said and suddenly escaped underground and left.

Inserting the sword into his sideburns several times, he galloped almost all the way, and finally rushed back to the cave, and saw that the pillow had indeed changed back to its original shape, so he hurriedly held his breath and crossed the face to lie down, pretending to close his eyes.

"Where have you been" The sudden voice frightened Zhu Yifei, turned her head, and saw that in the darkness, her eyes were cold and sassy, like two fierce knives, as if they were going to rip off her flesh and blood little by little, and hit her heart.

"Oh, hehe, when did you wake up?" Flipping over, she wrapped her arms around his waist and abdomen softly, and pressed her face to her side, carefully hiding her expression.

"When you stepped past you," Yan Yan slowed down, looked down at the small round head resting on his chest, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Oh, I went to the thatched house" Hearing him say this, Zhu Yifei hurriedly reacted.

"Well, if you call me next time, most of the people here are men, and it will be dangerous to meet them," Yan Yan said.

"Uh..... Ah" agreed, knowing that she was afraid of being discovered by others and telling the big boss, causing a conflict between the two sides, but she already had a small plan to start implementing it tomorrow.

Lying down for a while, I was really sleepy and didn't dare to move to stand upright, at first I could bear it, but later I found that the erection neck was going down as if there were insects crawling, itchy and cool, and getting worse and worse, it seemed to be going around her chest.

Hurriedly reached out and scratched it twice, but her fingertips suddenly touched a soft and slippery thing, which seemed to be shocked and quickly drilled into her small clothes.

"Ah........h

"Ah, what is this?" he said that the moment he realized that it was an insect, he had thrown it out of the way and slammed it into the stone door, and let out a faint squeak.

"Lady, are you okay" When Yan Yan saw that the insect's face changed, he sat up instantly, and Zhu Yifei was so frightened that he immediately hugged his arm.

It's not that she's timid, it's that she's really a natural fear of bugs, not to mention that there's still such a strange-looking ghost thing that got into her clothes and almost crawled a circular path around her neck.

Yan Yan comforted her for a while, the cold light flashed in her eyes, the air was cold, she took a few steps to the stone gate, bent down and picked up the corpse of the insect and walked to the lamp, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Poisonous blood beard?"
