Since Murong Chuan slaughtered Suixi County more than three years ago, until now, Suixi County has not recovered.

In the gaps between the bluestone slabs on the street, the dark dirt always looked like it was always a crimson red.

Is it the rays of the sunset? Or is it already dried up blood?

Zhao Dongting couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't pursue it anymore.

Murong Chuan is dead, and the slaughter of Suixi has long come to an end, even among the people, few people mention it again.

Joy and pain, in fact, are short-lived and will gradually fade with the passage of time.

Fortunately, there is no such deep color on the bluestone slabs in Shilong County, which makes Zhao Dongting's steps brisk than when he was in Suixi.

Although Shilong County is close to Suixi, it is fortunate that it has not been affected by the war since the beginning of the Yuan and Song dynasties.

Therefore, the people on the streets here have a rare sense of tranquility and indifference.

However, poverty is still really poor.

The people in the villages and towns outside the county can only farm some fields, and the most they can do in the county town is to do some small business, what kind of wealth can they make?

If it weren't for the implementation of Zhao Dongting's field division system two years ago, Shilong County would still have to starve every year.

This is almost non-existent in modern times, but in this day and age, it is extremely common. Starvation to death is an extremely common way to die.

Zhao Dongting walked towards the city step by step, while not forgetting to observe the situation in the city.

How the people are living can be roughly known by looking at the situation in the city.

It wasn't until he roughly walked through the main street and arrived at the gate of the mansion that Zhao Dongting turned around again, and took Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu to prepare to find an inn to live in.

The Supervision Division, the Criminal Division, and Huaxia Bank in the city have already hung up their cards separately.

The rest of the departments of the State Council, such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Family Planning, and the Ministry of Housing Management, are all listed at the entrance of the government office.

This makes the current Song Dynasty government particularly large, and I am afraid that it will be expanded several times more than the previous government.

Hong Wutian saw that Zhao Dongting said that he was looking for an inn, and said slightly: "Son, don't you want to meet Lord Song?" ”

Lord Song, Song Bitao.

Song Bitao is now the governor of Huazhou, and Shilong is the main county of Huazhou. It can be expected that Song Bitao must be in the mansion.

The emperor has always taken care of Lord Song.

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "Now it seems that he is doing well, there is no need to see him, lest he still think about it in his heart." ”

He thought of the shopkeeper in Suixi and the rich merchant in the carriage caravan, and he couldn't laugh or cry a little.

Big people also have the troubles of big people, that is, any move may make others think for a long time and be unstable.

This night, Zhao Dongting, Hong Wutian, and Mrs. Xu casually found an inn to stay, but did not alarm Song Bitao.

The next day, after Zhao Dongting had practiced martial arts, the three of them bought three more horses in the city, and then went outside the city.

The horse team of the rich merchant has just left for a short time, and it is still at the end of the official road.

Zhao Dongting and the three followed.

He had the intention to observe the people's livelihood in various places on the way to Longhu Mountain, so he was not particularly anxious.

Although there are only more than two years left before the agreed deadline with the valley owner, he doesn't care about delaying these few days.

And the horse team did not find the three Zhao Dongting who followed behind.

It takes three days to get out of Huazhou to Maoming. It was the route that Zhao Dongting led the army to Cen Xi at the beginning.

It's not too lively on the official road, but it's not deserted either. There were often people on the move and rangers on horseback.

In some villages and towns on the way, at night, the horse caravan will spend the night in the village or town.

Zhao Dongting and the three are too.

In this way, in the past two days, by noon on the third day, it was not very far from Maoming County, Gaozhou.

But just as the horse team was resting beside the official road, it suddenly rushed out of the forest on the side, with nearly 100 riders.

After nearly 100 horses, there were more than 100 people with swords on foot.

The men shouted loudly, and as soon as they came out of the forest, they scattered to encircle the whole caravan.

It's bandits.

The leader of the horse team changed his face drastically and shouted, "There are bandits! There are bandits! ”

The guards of the horse team hurriedly grabbed their knives and guarded the horse convoy.

But the people, they don't care. Perhaps, I am not so willing to care.

Everyone knows that the target of these bandits is the convoy of wealthy merchants. These carriages obviously carried a lot of money and jewelry.

Li Goudan was sitting in the carriage, and when he heard the exclamations outside, he lifted the curtain to take a look, and his little face instantly panicked.

He shouted loudly: "Father, mother! ”

He saw that he was guarded by the guards, but his father and mother were still outside.

Li Goudan's father and mother heard his shout and hurriedly ran over here. However, the guards had no intention of giving way.

Fortunately, the rich merchant was also in the carriage, looking at Zhao Dongting's face, and said to the guards: "Let the two of them in." ”

The guards gave way.

Li Goudan's father and mother were able to run to the side of the carriage.

Li Goudan was about to run out of the car immediately.

His father hurriedly shouted: "Don't come out, there are bandits!" ”

The honest farmer's face was full of fear. He had a hoe and a sickle, but he had never fought anyone.

The people outside were even more frightened, and they moved closer to the convoy one after another.

And this made it easy for the bandits to surround the entire convoy.

They rode around the convoy, constantly waving their blades in their hands, fierce and unscrupulous.

The guards were all solemn.

With so many bandits, it's obviously not easy to deal with.

Fortunately, these bandits were quite exquisite, and although they surrounded the convoy and many of them had bows and arrows in their hands, they did not release the arrows.

Dusty.

After the bandits stopped, a burly man with a mace and a hideous face whipped up to the front and shouted, "Where is the master of the convoy?" Why don't you get out and meet the old men? ”

The face of the rich merchant in the carriage turned white in an instant, but he could only get off the car honestly and tremblingly.

His bodyguards were only about twenty people, and it was impossible to stop so many bandits.

A few meters in front of the bandit leader, the rich merchant arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the strong man to spare me and wait for me to live." ”

"Well said, well said."

The bandit leader grinned, revealing two rows of scorched teeth, "Lao Tzu only asks for money, not life." ”

The rich merchant took out a few Huaxia coins from his sleeves tremblingly, "The good man smiled." ”

The denominations of these Huaxia coins are not large, but they add up to a full fifty taels. It's not a small amount of money anymore.

However, the bandit leader only glanced at him contemptuously, "Are you called Huazi when you are Lao Tzu?" ”

He slammed the mace to the ground, "The rule of Lao Tzu is to leave half of the way!" ”

The rich merchant's face was paler.

The people who were already terrified in the convoy changed color even more.

They didn't have much money, and if they were robbed of half of it, it was hard to say whether they would be able to go back alive, and they would probably starve to death on the road.

However, no one dared to turn back. Because to turn back means to die.

The rich merchant endured the intense heartache and almost didn't have a heart attack, and sighed: "You guys scraped together the money? ”

He couldn't help it.

This is already out of the scope of Leizhou, and the government has just been established, these bandits are in trouble, and the government is powerless to suppress the bandits for the time being.

As a wealthy businessman, his vision is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Knowing that if you don't pay the money, these bandits can really kill the killer.

However, at this moment, a childish and angry voice suddenly sounded in the carriage, "You are all big villains! ”

All of them changed color.

The bandit leader's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the carriage where the voice came out.

Li Goudan's childish head was exposed, and he was staring at him with great anger.

"Dog!"

Li Goudan's father's originally dark face turned white with fright, "Don't talk nonsense! ”

Then he fell to his knees and kowtowed to the bandit leader, saying, "Good Han Mo Strange, Good Han Mo Strange, the baby is not sensible." ”

But this made the bandits even more arrogant.

The more soft-footed shrimp are, the more willing they are to bully.

The bandit leader narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Lao Tzu has changed his mind, and Lao Tzu will stay eighty percent of your money." ”

This guy is afraid that Mo also understands the truth of fine water, and he has not even said that he will kill them all.

The rich merchants and the common people were even more bloodless.

Someone looked at Li Goudan, and there was indignation in his eyes.

They didn't dare to do this to the bandits, but they dared to do this to Li Goudan. Perhaps this is the poor man, and there must be something hateful about it.

Li Goudan is still shouting; "Daddy! They're the big bad guys! ”

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely solemn.
