Chapter 1000: The Suspicious Mansion Yin
"Honestly, young marshal, I received your letter. It's been 20 years since it happened. This has happened many times in Jinzhou. It's not new, I also mentioned in my reply to you that Yin Liyan of Jinzhou Mansion is a villain. I've been involved several times and haven't handled it well. I didn't know your friend was in those hijacked convoys......"
"But when I receive your letter, I'll send someone to inquire again. However, I wasn't surprised when I walked up to Li Yan. After eating the closed-door soup, Li Yan pretended to be sick and disappeared. I was so angry that I almost burned down his yamen, and sent two more teams to inquire about the news of homespun. One team came back yesterday and stayed outside for seven or eight. Nothing was found. But the other team has not returned. I'm afraid I've met a robber, and it's more than lucky......"
"As for the Lu family, I sent people to guard the city gate, but I didn't meet them into the city. But I once saw those people in the Lu family's shop. I heard from the big shopkeepers that the bandits sent a kidnapping letter asking them to raise enough money to ransom those people. and brought ten thousand taels of silver. They don't care about silver. They just want the Lord's life to be secured. I advised them not to give money, but the people of the Lu family seemed to be wary of the General Military Mansion. I don't know if it's because of Li Yan's words in front of them. ”
Later, I heard that Li Yan sent people to make a deal with the bandits. The silver was given out, but the people did not return. The bandits in Jinzhou have always been fierce. If they give money, they tear the ticket off. Now, seven or eight have passed. I'm afraid..."
Lu Ren is the old department of the Zhao Palace, and he is also the person that the Zhao family has always trusted. Although the current situation in Jinzhou has only heard Lu Ren's words, Zhao Wu knows that Lu Ren will not lie to him.
Li Yan, an official in Jinzhou, seems to have some problems.
Bandits are frequent in Jinzhou, and Li Yan should be responsible for the countermeasures. He should actively find ways to eliminate the bandits and protect the caravan and the people.
However, he did not take effective measures to respond to the attack. Even Lu Ren's door-to-door help was ignored.
This is not normal.
What's more, Zhao Wu has been in the capital for so long. I haven't heard that the bandits in Jinzhou have already attracted the attention of the imperial court.
Of course, this kind of thing is not a big deal for the dignitaries and nobles in the capital.
There were only a few robbers. They can't get to the capital. They are thousands of miles away!
Of course, whether the bigwigs in the capital care or not, this is secondary.
The most important thing is that there have been many incidents, but none of them have appeared in the imperial court, which is obviously that the incident of bandits was not reported to the capital!
Even if there were bandits in Heihuling, the imperial court would send the Zhao family army to suppress the bandits. If the imperial court knew about the Jinzhou soil spinning matter, it would not be so lenient.
That is, Li Yangen did not write and report according to the regulations!
In any case, Zhao Wu thought that he would definitely meet the official Li Yan. Let's see what's wrong with this Randi.
After chatting with Lu Ren for a while, it was completely dark.
At night, there was no way to go out of the city to check, so after dinner, they got together again to learn about the situation around Jinzhou.
Jinzhou is different from Wulan Town. After all, this is a large state county. A radius of 100 miles. There are several large county towns and dozens of villages nearby.
Different from the absolute dominant position of the original people of Jinzhou City, the surrounding counties and villages are very similar to Wulan Town. They live in a mixed Central Plains and Liao people. There are also a few villages, which are basically Liao people, and there are no Central Plains people. Of course, these are extremely remote villages hundreds of miles away from Jinzhou and close to the northern border of Liaoning.
Lu Ren once sent people to look for traces of Tufang in several large counties near Jinzhou, but found no traces.
But the more remote villages were searched by another group, and they have not yet returned.
