Chapter 186: Ringing Horses Investigate
Qin Bai thought that Xiao Yu wanted to change his mind. He can't save everyone, but he doesn't care about raising a few more little beggars. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu's words surprised him: "Young master, we came here to touch your bottom line." Someone gave us a few nests, so that I could ask you what road you are going on tomorrow, how many people there are, and what kind of goods are loaded in the car. ”
"Oh?" Qin Bai frowned slightly, "You said someone wanted to rob the Dao?" Any idea who they are? ”
"I don't know. But I saw that those people had come to inquire about a lot of people like me. They are dressed very ordinary, unlike Jianghu people, who speak with a local accent. ”
"Oh?" Qin Bai was a little surprised, "Can you tell the people of the rivers and lakes?" ”
"Young master, this is not difficult to identify, those who do farm work are different from those who walk the rivers and lakes."
Qin Bai nodded, what Xiao Yu said was the temperament that was usually revealed. If you look closely enough, it's really easy to identify. After all, in this day and age, few people have been trained as agents, and it is not easy to disguise their identity. And those masters, either in Dongchang Jinyiwei, or in the six doors of the Criminal Department, in this poor and remote place, there will never be a few.
Qin Bai pondered for a few seconds, and then asked, "Xiaoyu, when they came, did you see them riding horses?" ”
Xiaoyu nodded: "I didn't see their horses, but a few of them had sweat towels around their necks, and some wore felt hats." ”
Qin Bai couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yu, this kid is not bad, he is careful enough to observe, has strong analytical skills, and can organize a group of little beggars, and can make them die to the ground. Even many adults are not as good as him, if he grows up and doesn't die halfway, at least he can make a name for himself.
Sweat towels and felt hats are used to shield from the wind and sand when riding horses, and ordinary people will never carry them with them. It can be seen that these people are usually for the people and bandits in times of chaos, and these people should be the nearby horse bandits, that is, the famous ringing horses in Shandong.
Shandong Xiangma, Henan Junjiang, these are all very headache bandits in the past dynasties. Especially in the long-term struggle with the imperial court, Xiangma has formed a style with local characteristics, that is, it is quite hidden, and it is impossible to find their nest at all, and it is difficult to distinguish who Xiangma is.
In fact, the organization of Xiangma is quite tight, and the division of labor is very detailed, some are looking for targets, some are gathering people, and some are selling stolen goods afterwards. But apart from the leader, there is no horizontal connection with each other, and neither of them knows the identity of the other. So in case of exposure, at most a few people will be arrested, and it will be difficult to catch them all.
Even those leaders, in addition to their own core subordinates, only know the small leaders below. And the small leaders also have some low-level horse bandits from their own hometowns and villages. During the robbery, everyone covered their faces. After working together to complete the case, they still don't know each other. That's why it was called with a ringing arrow, hence the name "ringing horse".
However, not all of them are ridden, but the proportion of mules and horses is quite high. Therefore, it is more flexible and mobile, generally whistling and whistling.
In this way, Qin Bai was a little embarrassed. I thought that walking along the main road and staying in the town along the way would make it relatively safe. But I never expected that these bandits would be hidden among the people. I don't know how many people there are, and I don't know when they will come and attack.
Fortunately, my kindness has been rewarded, and Xiaoyu is here to inform in advance. Otherwise, you will be caught off guard all of a sudden.
"Do you know why they came to us?" Regardless of whether Xiao Yu knew it or not, Qin Bai still wanted to know more.
Xiao Yu had a strange expression and asked rhetorically: "Young Master, you have been drinking and drinking a lot of meat along the way, aren't you conspicuous enough?" ”
Qin Bai was stunned, and then laughed dumbly. I didn't expect that in my eyes, I was very well-fed and well-fed, but in the eyes of outsiders, I actually became a local tyrant. However, it is precisely because of his "trench" that he will seduce Xiaoyu and these little spies. This can only be said to be a mistake, and I can't count the gains and losses in it.
"So be it! You all stay first. Rest assured, it's not to detain you, but it may be dangerous to let you out. Since this was already the case, Qin Bai began to see the moves, "When you arrive, if you still want to leave, I promise to let you go." But it's better not to come back here, I guess you've just been arrested, and many people in the town have already seen it. ”
“……”
……
It's really troublesome, for these ringing horses, even the banner of the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall is not very useful. You can't even find the specific person, so how do you know who did it? Maybe when the stolen goods are sold in the future, clues may be found. However, by that time, everything has been robbed, and there may have been casualties, so how can it be compensated?
After a short discussion, Qin Bai made a decision: he began to change the law of traveling, hoping to use the change of rhythm to get rid of the group of ringing horses that were staring at him.
In fact, really speaking, there are not many people who can fight this time. 100 guards are fully out of duty every day in training. There are more than 60 large cars, and more than 100 drivers and small workers.
As mentioned earlier, Yongsheng miraculously solves the problem of all employment, but it pays attention to all employment, and it is inevitable that there will be some superficiality. For example, if there were 8 people, now 10 people are arranged, and so on. Therefore, there are more coachmen and small workers themselves. In addition, the brothers below prefer to go out with Qin Bai, because they eat well, treat them well, and can save many days of rations at home.
And these coachmen and small workers, they also received military training. It's not the best to fight, but it's better than ordinary people.
There are more than 50 families, and all the men add up to more than 100. He also received simple training. After all, they will live in the wilderness of Fushan in the future, and they also need to have the ability to protect themselves.
Therefore, don't look at the large group of people who are chaotic, among them are old, weak, women and children, but there are more than 300 people who can really pull them out. They all had weapons in their hands, and their guards were iron, soft, bows, and horses. If you really encounter a small group of ringing horses, whoever eats them will say that they must be.
However, although the strength is strong, it is better not to fight if you can. If you can avoid it perfectly, it is a good luck. The change of pace is for this purpose. Moreover, in order to conceal the ringing horse, it is impossible to communicate very smoothly. Even if it is finally discovered, it will be completely too late to gather a large number of people.
If there are less than 100 people coming in the end, those ringing horses still want to come hard? Then Qin Bai can only consider himself unlucky, this time he met a group of iron-headed babies!
