Chapter 49: Who Did It?

A team of 100 officers and soldiers from Linyue County soon came to the place where the bandits were ambushed, only to see dead bodies everywhere and rivers of blood, and many officers and soldiers threw up with their stomachs in their arms after taking a look, and the scene was really tragic.

However, the leader of the officers and soldiers actually grinned loudly when he looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and still laughed loudly, making the officers and soldiers around him scratch their heads.

"Brothers, these are all our qualifications for promotion." Although the officers and soldiers are more fierce, but the officers and soldiers are not bad in their brains, and they can see that the bandits who fell in the pool of blood are all bandits, anyway, now there are only their own people here, and they can directly cut off the heads of the bandits and take them to receive the reward, how many dead bodies are here, that is more than a thousand, it is definitely a great credit.

The place where the bandits were ambushed now has no other living people except for these hundred or so officers and soldiers, and those spies who are staring at the bandits are all attracted away by the infantry battalion led by Li Feng.

Li Feng also knew that there must be other forces behind him, and he didn't go directly to Yuanhe City, but took the spies in circles, if the spies didn't hide well, they would be discovered by the sharpshooters and eliminated one by one, so that most of the spies who followed were eliminated, and a small number of them were afraid to follow.

Next, the news of the bandits' defeat spread with the surviving spies, and the big and small forces in the four provinces all knew the news, and their first reaction was: "Who did this?" ”

Who did this to you?

I don't know, the remaining spies don't know the specific situation, only saw a group of people dressed in strange costumes to defeat the bandits, looking at the team of that group of people, I feel that it is an elite army, only a few hundred people in a short period of time to defeat more than 2,000 bandits, kill more than half of them, I don't know who did it.

Some people speculated, could it be the people of the Yan family? However, this thought was quickly dispersed, how could the Yan family, a business family, have such an elite force, whose combat power could be comparable to that of the Hunan army.

Of course, some people hope that the Yan clan will have such an elite force, so that the Yan clan can be labeled as a rebel, and then mobilize officials and troops to encircle and suppress it, so that the wealth of the Yan clan will be at your fingertips.

It's good to think about it, but this hat is not a random button, and the Yan family is not a small family, so it can be easily knocked down.

So things went back to square one, to find out who defeated the bandits, and what was the relationship between that elite team and the Yan clan.

For a while, there were more spies pouring into Linyue County, and even the Intelligence Department of Yuanhe City was also busy, cleaning up the spies everywhere, and those spies died in vain, everyone knew that this was done by the Yan family, but they couldn't reason with the Yan family, so wouldn't the Yan family find out that you were making trouble behind your back.

The bandit attack did not have much impact on Yan Xueyi, the Yan clan and even Yuanhe City, and they still did what they had to do, but they made the officers and soldiers who came out of Linyue County happy.

On the surface, everyone thinks that it is the bandits that the officers and soldiers have eliminated, although everyone is puzzled about how the officers and soldiers of Bailai can eliminate so many bandits, but the head is in their hands, and this reward must also be counted on them, so Ningyuan Mansion and even Chengdu Mansion have rewarded a large amount of silver, you must know that many of the bandits are important criminals who have been rewarded, and you can imagine how much reward you can get, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, which are distributed to only more than 100 people, and everyone can also get a lot of silver, of course, the officers and soldiers leaders get the most rewards.

The Yan family doesn't cause trouble, but there is trouble coming to the door, everyone treats the Yan family as a big piece of fat and wants to take a bite, this is the sadness of a business family without a backer, even if Yan Xueyi has a prefect's father-in-law, but the prefect's official position is too small and is not taken seriously by some people at all.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was easy to spend money to donate officials, but the problem arose again, the official who spent a lot of money to donate was a fictitious position, and it was of little use, who would care if you had a fictitious position, if it was really lacking, at most it would be a small official such as a county order and a garrison, and it would not be of much use, even so, Yan Daozhen, who had basically been staying in the capital, also spent a lot of money to donate a fictitious position, which was convenient for visiting the door.

……

Yuanhe City is developing rapidly, and nearly 100,000 people move in every year, and everyone can see such a large-scale migration of population, and everyone wants to know why the Yan family migrated so many people?

The news released by the Yan clan to the outside world is that the Yan clan needs to hire a large amount of manpower to build a large factory, and by the way, the workers' families are also relocated in.

In the beginning, glass, soap, and so on were made in so-called factories, and there was not much doubt about this, and as the number of people migrated increased, more and more goods were made.

But the Yan clan protected the so-called factory so well that the outside world didn't know what it was like inside, so all kinds of speculations appeared, and some people even speculated that the Yan clan was going to train troops to rebel.

However, Linyue County is the territory of the Yan clan after all, and the prefect of Ningyuan Mansion is still Yan Xueyi's father-in-law, he can do whatever he wants in his own territory, no matter what others say, as long as he spends a lot of money to feed the people above, the Yan clan will not be in any danger in a short time, as long as the Yan clan does not really rebel, who cares what he does, as long as it can bring a lot of benefits to himself.

The top magnates of the Manchu Qing Dynasty waited for the Yan clan to continue to fatten, and then killed them when needed, and the other forces wanted to bite the Yan clan now, and they were afraid that the Yan clan would fight back and break their teeth, so they didn't dare to do it easily, and there were still people staring at it, and no one else was allowed to snatch their own interests.

And the person who secretly bit the Yan family, the Ministry of Intelligence directly sent a killer to kill it, and there were many deaths, everyone understood what was going on, and they were afraid like a tiger for a while, and they were afraid that they would also become a role model, and what was the use of asking for silver if their lives were gone.

In this way, the Yan family gained valuable respite, and there were not many people to harass the Yan family, which made Yuanhe City develop rapidly, and a large number of commodities were continuously shipped out from Yuanhe City to the whole country, and the Yan family continued to expand, and the Yan family reaped huge benefits, and the top magnates who acted as a protection net for the Yan family also received more tribute from the Yan family, and valued the Yan family more, and did not allow anyone to attack the Yan family, and anyone who dared to reach out would break his hand.

Pay a lot of benefits, what you get is a stable opportunity for development, no matter how much benefits are given to the top magnates of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is worth it, the most important thing is the development of Yuanhe City, Yuanhe City is the real foundation of the Yan family, there is Yuanhe City, the Yan family does not need to be afraid of any threat.

Three years passed in a flash.

[The initial development is over, and I am ready to attack the SC
