Gao Shenghan naturally didn't know that bandits were rampant in her land. And these mountain bandits are very eye-catching, seeing the convoy of several big merchants passing by, they will not appear, and I don't know if the number of mountain bandits is not large and they are deterred by the dozens of fierce dart masters and hundreds of hired guards, or they are afraid of the reputation of the big business houses and do not want to provoke, in short, the Qin family, the Yang family and many other big merchants who are quite famous in Jiangnan have not suffered losses, so even Qin Feng thinks that this world is relatively peaceful, because he has never heard of his caravan being robbed. Another is that the more goods the caravan transports, the fewer opportunities to take the land route, and they are all changed to water transportation.

Therefore, it is always the small merchants who suffer.

The mountain bandits did not dare to rob the official eunuch car. Needless to say, this reason for looking for death is not much to say.

After being robbed more times, some small commercial houses were no longer willing to return goods across the city, and instead started the business of buying goods wholesale from large commercial houses and retailing them in shops, barely making ends meet.

After a long time, all the bandits could rob were scattered teams, mostly ordinary people visiting relatives and friends or scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam, and they didn't have much money on them at all. Most of the rich scholars are the children of official eunuchs, so they don't dare to move at all!

"Big brother, it's been a month, and I haven't been able to meet the fat sheep, and the food and salary on the top haven't been distributed, seeing that the grain in the warehouse has bottomed out, the brothers are a little anxious!" In the Qingfeng Cottage in the Hengling Mountains, several sturdy young men gathered together to discuss "big things".

They are bandits from Qingfeng Mountain, entrenched in the capital on the way to Huainan. A hundred miles further south, it is the boundary of Huainan, but it is some distance from the capital.

The man who is called the eldest brother has a bad complexion.

These robbers got together a year and a half ago, and there was originally another big boss, but then the big brother kicked the cottage door with two younger brothers, and the big boss resisted but escaped with injuries, so he changed the big brother to the top. Not to mention, this boss is quite capable, and the living standard in the cottage has improved a lot since he took the position, and he has also done decent training, and the brothers have made considerable progress and know how to counter-reconnaissance.

They call themselves chivalrous people, specializing in robbing the rich and helping the poor, without hurting people's lives, and will not force the owners of goods to the point of nowhere to go, at least with kindness to leave half of the supplies to them, so as not to let these unlucky eggs lose their money. At first, the mountain bandits were also worried about whether they would recruit the government to come to the door if they didn't kill people, but for so long, the government just pretended to search the mountain twice and put two handfuls of wolf smoke or something, and then they were quite surprised. Hearing that the boss said that he didn't hurt people's lives and didn't rob all the goods, the government would not make great efforts to investigate, everyone believed it, and they did the same in the future. I have been doing it for more than a year.

Until now, I won't see those cute ordinary caravans anymore.

The brothers hadn't smelled meat for two days.

Looking at the eager little eyes of the mountain bandits, the boss was quite depressed.

"I'll go down the mountain to see what the situation is in the city and whether anyone has shipped it." The boss dropped a sentence and told them to guard the mountain gate and not to act rashly, so he went down the mountain with a cronie.

Only half a day after the eldest brother left, a team of more than 20 people passed by at the foot of the mountain, including a four-wheeled carriage drawn by two horses and a two-wheeled cart pulled by a mussel-mouthed mule. The four-wheeled carriage has a carriage, and the four corners of the carriage are still hung with colorful rope weaving, and it looks like someone is sitting inside. The cart pulled by the big mule was loaded with goods, covered with a tarpaulin, and the thick hemp rope tied the goods so tightly that it was impossible to see what it contained. Look at the horses in the team, all of them are good horses, and the people on horseback look also spirited, and there are a few martial artists in the dart game, who look quite familiar, and they should be used to this road.

The little minion who was exploring the way was in good spirits, and hurriedly rushed back to the cottage to report the news!

"Don't see what's pulled? Don't be bluffing, right? The third cottage still remembered the words left by the boss, and was a little hesitant.

The second child slapped the table and said loudly: "Even the luggage cover should be opened to take a look!" ”

The other brothers replied, "Yes! It's been a long time since we've practiced! It's to rob people and take a look, what's the matter! ”

"It's a big deal to catch the wrong person and put it back."

"That's right, don't look at the lack of things, it's not a treasure!" The merchants of the Western Regions carried gems, spices, and furs, and they didn't occupy much space, but they were indeed very valuable.

"I'd better wait for the boss to come back." The third child frowned slightly and refused to let go.

He was brought up the mountain by the eldest brother when he kicked the cottage door, and he was the most resourceful, and he usually contributed a lot to the newcomers, and some people were willing to listen to what he said.

At that moment, some people remembered the rules and reward and punishment system set by the boss and retreated.

Who knows, the second child is not right with him, sneered, and said: "Who knows if there will be such a chance when the boss comes back!" How long has it been since we opened meat? Ever since you came to the stockade, there have been no new women! Have you forgotten what we are doing when we come up to the mountain? ”

Usually with the second child haode a few people shouted: "Of course it's here to eat fragrant and drink spicy!" ”

"That's right! We are mountain bandits, and robbing the road is the right thing! ”

"I haven't hugged my for a year and a half!"

"Nonsense! The last time you went down the mountain to drink flower wine, didn't you spend the night with the wine lady? ”

A few people were noisy and noisy, and they joked. The second child slapped the table, "If you are willing to follow Lao Tzu, go down with Lao Tzu to do a vote!" I don't want to-" He glared at him and swept his sharp gaze, "When the master grabs something, don't reach out to any of you!" ”

was so provoked by him, many people were moved, and they planned to do a big job!

"Second brother, don't make trouble! Do you know where those people came from? The old three tried his best to dissuade him.

The second child turned around and stared at the little minion who reported the news.

The little minion was excited, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the second master, the third master, there is no obvious sign on the convoy, there are several dart masters from the Zhenning Dart Bureau following, a total of twenty-six people, the number of people in the carriage is unknown, I don't know the men and women." "At most, there are six people in the car, and the total is only thirty-two, which is less than one-tenth of the cottage!

That's right, their stockade is absolutely huge in terms of personnel, more than 350 people!

Raiding is only part of the livelihood, more people in the valley behind the open farmland, but also planted fruit trees, there are also pigs and chickens in captivity, but the population is large, those livestock will take some time, and they will not be able to eat meat from time to time.

Everyone was still arguing about whether to rob or not, and the little minion at the second sentry post under the mountain came back to report:

"Report! There was a Fanbang man sitting in the car! Brunette hair and blue eyes! ”

This news immediately made the stockade explode!

Fanbang people! It's actually a Fanbang person!

What does this mean?

Jewel! Spices! No wonder there is only one cart of goods! Just this truckload of things is enough for them to eat and drink for a year!
