Chapter 42: The Looting of Grain

In the following hour, Zeng Chen and Liu Jun told Wen Bin everything they had seen and heard, and when they talked about their happiness, everyone laughed heartily, and bursts of laughter rang out in the inner room from time to time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's a pity that Wen Bin and the others don't know at this moment, there is a disaster that is about to come!

"Zeng Chen! Hu Junsong's side, do you have eyebrows? ”

"Returning to Wenhou! Four years ago, Hu Junsong came to Changyun County to open a grain store, but because he was a foreigner and the time was short, he was suppressed by his peers. Therefore, he and other grain merchants are like fire and water! ”

"Fire and water? Well, you can take advantage of it! In this flood, officials and businessmen colluded, stole beams and replaced pillars, and shoddy! Zeng Chen, if you investigate this Hu Junsong more, you can wait for an opportunity to approach him! ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"Lizhou officialdom, ironclad! This Hu Junsong, if used well, will be a sharp sword! Don't underestimate these grain merchants, they are all well-informed! ”

After saying this, a flash of light flashed in Wen Bin's eyes, and he racked his brains for many days, in order to find a breakthrough, and then wipe out these corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

"Childe! What's next? Hearing what Wen Bin said, Fu Xuelan asked.

"In the meantime, I'm going to go to Dongjing County, where there is also a sharp sword waiting for me! If nothing else, let's go the day after tomorrow! Guo County Order, I want to meet him well! ”

Even if Wen Bin was very anxious, he couldn't leave Changyun County immediately at this time, and he still needed to sit here. The disaster relief food will soon arrive in Changyun County, and the food purchased outside will also arrive tomorrow.

"Leaving the day after tomorrow? The slave family should be prepared early! Can the slave family go with the childe? ”

"Hmm...... You don't have to! Changyun County's annual income and output account books and the account books of grain merchants still need you to check. The stakes are too high to be taken lightly! After Wen Bin thought for a while, he opened his mouth to reject Fu Xuelan's proposal.

Hearing this, Fu Xuelan was not surprised, so her lips opened lightly and said: "Then the slave family will stay here, and strive to find out the clues as soon as possible to help the son!" ”

"Haha! Can these books be used as a sword? It's all up to Xuelan! ”

"Childe's words are serious! The slave family will do their best! ”

"Haha...... Ha ha...... Haha......" Wen Bin suddenly laughed out loud, and for a moment he felt that he had a chance to win. Relief measures are in full swing, and the collection of incriminating evidence is also somewhat eyebrow-raising, so it is no wonder that there is some flutter at this time.

The so-called heaven does not fulfill people's wishes, just when Wen Bin was in high spirits, a shout came from outside the house. Without waiting for the soldiers to report, the people came and went straight to the back room!

"Wenhou! There will be a major military intelligence report at the end! As soon as Captain Zheng stepped into the inner room, he said loudly, not even bothering to salute.

Wen Bin was stunned when he heard this, and when his eyes fell on the person behind Captain Zheng, he stood up, took a few steps forward in a row, and said in shock: "What happened?" ”

"Bang!"

At that moment, a soldier suddenly fell to his knees, his leather armor shattered and covered in blood. His face was covered with bloody scabs, which showed how tragic the battle situation was at that time! It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a narrow escape from death!

"Wenhou! The grain convoy was attacked! The grain was robbed, and all the brothers except their subordinates were ...... All of them are killed! Woo...... "After the soldier made a brief report, he couldn't cry because he was too sad!"

Seeing this, Captain Zheng on the side suddenly roared angrily and shouted, "What are you crying about!" Don't look up yet! Tell Wenhou the details of what happened! ”

Wen Bin waved his hand at Captain Zheng, then walked in front of the soldier, first squatted down, and then said, "Don't panic!" Speak slowly! ”

The sudden death of the brothers who had been with him all day and night could not help but be filled with grief, but after all, this soldier had been on the battlefield for a long time, and after several deep breaths in a row, his mood calmed down a little.

"Returning to Wenhou! We arrived in Langzhou yesterday, and with the help of the envoy of Langzhou, the purchase of grain went very smoothly. Therefore, the Guan team ordered more than 20 soldiers including us to escort the grain back to Changyun County overnight, and the rest of the people were responsible for escorting the second batch of grain. But who knew that as soon as he arrived in Lizhou, he was attacked by a surprise attack! ”

"Where was the raid?" Wen Bin hurriedly asked.

"Near Qiuling Mountain! There were about 400 enemies, and we were outnumbered, and all the brothers resisted desperately, so that their subordinates could come back and report the news! As he spoke, the soldier's eyes turned red, and tears swirled in his sockets, ready to drip at any moment.

"These thieves! Captain Zheng! Wen Bin stood up abruptly and shouted loudly.

"The end will be! Wenhou! What to do? ”

"Blood debt and blood payment! If you dare to rob the official rations, then fill it with your life! ”

These words popped out of Wen Bin's mouth one by one, and with them endless killing intent and hatred! Hearing this, Captain Zheng's eyes lit up, and then solemnly gave a military salute to Wen Bin.

Who is the most heart-wrenching at this time? It is definitely Captain Zheng, these subordinates have followed him for many years, but today he died in Lizhou, and he can't wait to gather his men and horses to kill him now.

"Captain Zheng, how many forbidden troops are there in Changyun County?"

"Returning to Wenhou! Counting the last general, there are still ninety-one! ”

As soon as Captain Zheng finished speaking, a rush of footsteps came from outside the house, and a moment later, the county commander and the county lieutenant came together.

"Wenhou! This is Zhou Jun, the county lieutenant of this county, you can ask him about the traitor! After Deng Xianling entered the inner room, he didn't care about saluting, and hurriedly spoke.

Wen Bin was stunned when he heard this, and said, "You already know about this?" ”

"Returning to Wenhou! When the soldier returned, the subordinate and Captain Zheng were discussing the matter, so they already knew! Xia Guan thought that Wen Hou might ask about Qiu Ling Mountain, so he brought Zhou County Lieutenant for Wen Hou to inquire! ”

Hearing this, Wen Bin nodded, then looked at County Lieutenant Zhou, and said, "County Lieutenant Zhou!" Tell everything about Qiuling Mountain to Ben Hou! ”

"Returning to Wenhou! Qiuling Mountain is located at the junction of the two states of Lilang, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the early years, there was a group of bandits entrenched here! For some reason, the bandits disappeared last year. Unexpectedly, they appeared again this year and dared to ransack the convoy escorted by officers and soldiers, which is really bold! ”

"This group of rebels has been entrenched here for a long time, why haven't they been exterminated?" Wen Bin clenched his fists, his eyes widened with anger, and asked angrily.

County Lieutenant Zhou could feel Wen Bin's anger, he shrunk his neck, and said cautiously: "Qiuling Mountain is divided into two places, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Several exterminations were carried out in vain. Plus it disappeared last year, so ......"

Before County Lieutenant Zhou could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Bin. He looked around at the crowd first, then bent down to pull the kneeling soldier up. It was only then that Wen Bin spoke: "Regardless of whether this group of rebels is the same group as the earlier bandits, they must be eradicated!" The stakes are very high, and if it is not handled properly, it will become the beginning of the turmoil in Lizhou! ”
