Liu Qidong was still very cooperative for the time being, and he did not show any resentment about Guo Zhiyuan's arrangement, so Guo Zhiyuan couldn't find a chance to trouble him even if he wanted to use the topic to play, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being and put all his strength on the official road repair, after all, this is the top priority of Gutian today.

A month later, with the concerted efforts of everyone, half of the official roads in Gutian County were finally opened, Guo Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to start the construction of the other half, but first gave the people a holiday, and then began to set up cards to charge, passing merchants naturally stopped doing it, who wants to pay for no reason to pay for tolls? Some passers-by merchants even showed their backers behind them, threatening to go to the prefect's yamen to complain, so that Guo Zhiyuan would lose his official position.

Guo Zhiyuan had expected that the passers-by would react like this, and immediately announced that the collection of tolls was based on the principle of voluntary, and the passers-by merchants who were unwilling to pay the tolls could continue to take the other half of the unrepaired official road, and the passers-by were greedy for cheapness, and naturally chose to take the unrepaired half of the official road, but they soon complained bitterly, and the unrepaired half of the official road was full of potholes, and it was inconvenient to meet the car, and the distance that could be reached in one day could not be walked in two days.

And at night, Guo Zhiyuan will quietly send out the New Army, pretending to be bandits on the hills on both sides of the road to harass them, these soldiers of the New Army are originally bandits, and they are naturally familiar with this kind of thing, although they will not really loot, just bluff and let off arrows or something, but they are so frightened that the passing merchants are fart and urine, and they dare not camp on the side of the road at all, so they have to rush overnight.

Finally, some wealthy passers-by choose to be willing to pay tolls to walk the repaired half of the official road, so that the contrast is more distinct, the newly repaired road surface is flat and easy to walk, the carriage is galloping all the way, and the journey of a day is over in half a day, and Guo Zhiyuan also sent a regiment to train the township soldiers to do the road protection team, along the road to protect the safety of the passing merchants, with a small shovel with him, found that the road surface is damaged and repaired immediately to ensure that the road is smooth.

In the end, even the most stingy passers-by also figured out the accounts, rather than delay the time on the road and be afraid, it is better to pay the toll to walk on the new road that has been repaired, so there are more and more passers-by who voluntarily pay the toll, looking at Guo Zhiyuan They sit and count the silver every day, Chen Huaili and other justices of the peace who gave up participating in the road repair business also regretted it, Chen Huaili was still a little unable to pull down, it was not good to come to Guo Zhiyuan, but several other justices of the peace secretly came to Guo Zhiyuan several times, Hoping that the other half of the pavement repair construction could be involved, Guo Zhiyuan neither agreed, nor refused, only said that the other half of the pavement repair construction will wait for the agricultural slack season after the rainy season to start construction, and then talk about it.

However, there is never a smooth sailing in the world, just half a month after Guo Zhiyuan began to collect tolls, the poisonous king bee that has not been heard from suddenly appeared! attacked a passing caravan, snatched all the goods, and when the road escort arrived, the king bee had already disappeared without a trace, and the passing merchants naturally stopped doing it, and contacted some good passing merchants to collectively go to the county government to ask for an explanation, because Guo Zhiyuan promised to ensure their safety when he collected the tolls, Guo Zhiyuan could only receive them with kind words, and promised them to recover their stolen goods within a month, if they could not be recovered, the county government would compensate them for their losses, That's when they were finally sent away.

However, although Guo Zhiyuan promised the passing merchants well, he actually didn't have any bottom in his heart, because so far he basically didn't even know anything about the poisonous king bee, and the secret agents sent by Zhang Cheng to "mix sand" could not mix with the bandit force of the poisonous king bee at all, and the outside world knew very little about this mysterious bandit force, and he didn't even know what the poisonous king bee looked like, because they would cover their faces when they robbed the passing merchants, but they could hear from their brief communication that this was a group of women!

There are two kinds of people in the world who can't be provoked, one is a woman, a kind of madman, if you have to add a more can't be provoked, that is, a crazy woman, the king bee seems to have this kind of signs, because although she doesn't kill people, she likes to cut the root of a man's life, this time if it wasn't for the road guard team composed of regimental training village soldiers to arrive in time, the men in the passing caravan are only afraid that they will collectively become "eunuchs", so the passing merchants are afraid of her like snakes and scorpions, even more than the previous diamond leopard and rattlesnake!

Guo Zhiyuan had no choice but to gather his backbones to discuss, but the backbones didn't seem to have any good ideas, because the poisonous king bee is too mysterious, unlike the previous diamond leopard and rattlesnake, they all have weaknesses to follow, as long as they find their weaknesses, it is not difficult to exterminate them, but where is the weakness of the poisonous king bee?

If he couldn't get the specific information of the king bee, Guo Zhiyuan could only mobilize everyone to analyze it together, in order to find the weakness of the king bee, and said with a frown: "Let's talk about it, to defeat the king bee, we must first understand her, and only by knowing ourselves and the other can we be invincible......"

Bai Du has not made any meritorious contributions since he defected to Guo Zhiyuan, so he was the first to speak: "This poisonous king bee should have been hurt by a man, so he hates men so much, although he does not kill people every time he robs, he will cut off the lifeblood of the men in the caravan......"

Guo Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Brother Bai's analysis is very reasonable, now we can draw a portrait of the poisonous king bee, this is a woman who has been hurt by a man, so she acts so extremely!" ……”

As soon as Chu Wan'er heard this, she interjected: "In this way, this poisonous kingbee is also a poor person, she must have been bullied by a man, and she was deeply injured......

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Chu Wan'er, and said angrily: "Don't make a mess, okay?" Poor people must have something to hate, and now we are discussing how to deal with the poisonous king bee, and you have sympathy for her! ……”

When Chu Wan'er heard this, she glared at Guo Zhiyuan fiercely and said, "Is it wrong for me to sympathize with her?" Why did she become like this, it's not your men's fault! Otherwise, who wants to be a bandit? If I am bullied by men, I will also become a bandit and kill all the negative men in the world! ……”

Now everyone was embarrassed, because all the people present except Chu Wan'er were men, Xu Guangqi hurriedly coughed dryly, came out and said: "Let's continue to discuss the characteristics of the king bee, I asked Xie Erhu, who led the team this time, when he led the team to support the robbed caravan, he found that there were sentry spies on the hill on the side of the road, so when they arrived, the king bee had already evacuated, which shows that this king bee has a high military literacy, otherwise it will not release a sentry to warn when looting!" ……”

(PS: Some readers raised questions, thinking that it is a bit unreasonable for Gutian official road to be repaired so quickly and half a width is pulled through, I think it is necessary to explain, road repair and new road repair are two concepts, I can simply calculate for you, 300 people construction 100 meters a day is not fast, 10 sections are one kilometer, a month is 30 kilometers, the official road in the jurisdiction of Gutian is less than 50 kilometers, planing can not be constructed in rainy days, and it is more than enough to complete half of the construction in more than two months.) ）
