Just when all of us had eaten and walked to the door of the post station, Wang Er, the head of the guards of the Imperial City Division, stepped forward with a serious face and reported: Qiyu Huang shopkeeper, just now there were a few people outside who were sneakily staring at our grain cart and luggage cart, and the lower official sent someone to secretly observe, only to see that these people have been moving around the post station, and their eyes are staring at the luggage and items of passing pedestrians or convoys, and occasionally they gather together to whisper to pedestrians and the items they carry, so Xiaguan ordered someone to secretly control these people, and then take them to the mountain for surprise interrogation, At first, these guys listened to their mouths strictly, but then the lower officials used a little means, and they obediently recruited, it turned out that they were the bandit outposts of Erwang Mountain in front, specifically looking for targets in this section of the road, and then returning the situation to the Erwang Mountain cottage. At present, these people have been controlled by the lower officials on the mountain, please show the shopkeeper Huang.

I feel very familiar when I hear Erwang Mountain, it seems to be the place where Liu Laohan and the three sisters of the eldest girl were killed, it is too inhumane, since I have met it, I have to find a way to eliminate the harm for the people. Thinking of this, he said to Wang Erzhu: Ershu, the organization has given you an important task, no matter what means you use, you must find a way to find out the specific situation of Erwang Mountain from their mouths, including how many bandits, the person in charge of the bandits, the specific location of the bandits' den, the process of their robbery and the route of the cottage, etc. Wang Er was stunned and arched his hand, and then rushed away.

I turned my head and said to Steward Wang beside me: Steward Wang and Wang Zhiqing went to ask Liu Laohan's grandson and the three sisters of the eldest girl about the specific situation, that is, the situation of encountering bandits in Erwang Mountain, the more detailed the better. Steward Wang nodded slightly, then turned around and walked backwards with the West Poison Wang Zhiqing, and then I whispered a few words in the ear of the Eastern Evil Yuan Minfeng, he nodded and then walked quickly outside the post station. Then I ordered the Qinglong, Baihu, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu Four King Kongs to readjust the convoy, with the luggage cart in the middle, and the boxes containing valuables in a conspicuous position, and the grain carts in front and behind, and the vehicles with weapons were covered tightly with cloth, especially the hundred sets of bows and arrows sent by Cao Dazhong, the commander of Xiangzhou soldiers and horses, and at the same time went to the post station to buy more dry food and put it on the car.

After the explanation, I returned to the Luo car, Chunxiang and Qiuxiang immediately took the soft armor from the back car, they skillfully lowered the curtain, and said while undressing me: Huang shopkeeper, just now I saw the big girl crying and crying and telling the Wang housekeeper about the bandits, and the slaves and maids also felt the same way, these bandits are too hateful, and the Huang shopkeeper wants to avenge their relatives. I sighed and said, "Bandits are easy to suppress, but it's not the best way to suppress them." Qiu Xiang said while sorting out my underwear: Then the slave doesn't understand, the bandits kill people and steal goods, block the road and rob, is there any better way than to destroy them? I glanced at Qiu Xiang and said: This matter is a long story, bandits are continuous, the biggest responsibility lies with the court, lies in me, it is the court that did not do a good job, it is the court that does not take care of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise if there is a way, can survive, and have something to eat, who wants to go up the mountain to be a bandit and live a life of licking blood from the knife. But as the saying goes, there is also a way, and the bandits occupy the mountains for the king, and I also endured it, but they robbed and killed people, which is a bit excessive, and the bandits are not so bad, so I want to kill them and destroy them. Chunxiang and Qiuxiang nodded as if they didn't understand, and then after changing their soft armor, Qiuxiang stopped talking, and when I saw this, I said: Qiuxiang, if you have anything, just say it directly, I am angry with you and you are not guilty, and you are also a person from my mansion, so you don't have to worry about anything. Qiu Xiang rubbed Chunxiang with her arm with a red face, and Chunxiang said shyly: Qi Yu Huang shopkeeper, before leaving the palace, the queen specially explained that the two of us should serve the shopkeeper well. I immediately understood and said: I know, due to the many affairs along the way, my heart is on such government affairs, and I will talk about it when I am free, you will go back first to appease the big girl and Liu Laohan, and when you reach the boundary of Cizhou, you will drive with Xiao Liuzi. Erxiang saluted with a flushed face and lifted the curtain and left.

Then Xiao Liuzi got into the car with Steward Wang, Steward Wang reported in detail about the experience of Liu Laohan and the three sisters, because they were panicked and did not pay special attention to anything, the only thing in common at that time was that they were numerous and well-trained, and the goal was very clear, mainly to rob luggage and goods, for those who dared to resist, they were all executed on the spot, never dragged mud and water, and one point was that for the elderly, children, and women were not so indiscriminately killing innocents. I then nodded and said: No wonder Liu Laohan and they can get out of danger.

At this time, the voice of the green dragon sounded outside the car, and I let it get into the car, after all, my camel is relatively large, and the four people in the car do not feel crowded, and there is a small square table with low feet in front of me, and the green dragon reports on the car: Qi Yu Huang shopkeeper, the current convoy has been adjusted, the front is the grain cart, followed by the weapon cart equipped with swords and guns, covered with canvas, and then the luggage cart, followed by your camel and the convoy of other people, followed by the grain cart and the cart for storing bows and arrows. By the way, I bought a lot of dry food just now and loaded a cart on purpose, when we adjusted the convoy, a few caravans and people saw the large number of people in our team and came up to talk, asking if we could take them across the mountain road together? The lower officials did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so they specially asked the shopkeeper.

I nodded and said: After all, there are many people and great power, you probably know their details, just let them come with us, it is not easy to go out these days, you can take care of it as much as possible, Steward Wang, you and Qinglong will deal with this matter together. Then Steward Wang and Qinglong immediately saluted and left, and after they went out, Xiao Liuzi asked puzzledly: Shopkeeper, there are so many of us plus other convoys, will the goal be too obvious? I laughed and said: I just need a large number of people and an obvious goal to lure out the bandits in Erwang Mountain, and then take the opportunity to wipe them out and eliminate harm for the people. Xiao Liuzi muttered as he cleaned up the music on my low table: I see, I see.

After a while, Wang Er, the head of the guards of the Imperial City Division, hurriedly lifted the curtain probe and came in, and I beckoned him in, he smiled and said: Shopkeeper, everything has been inquired clearly. Xia Guan used two of the top ten tortures of the Great Song Dynasty, and they couldn't stand it all. Erwang Mountain is located at the junction of Xiangzhou and Cizhou, it was originally a group of bandits in the east and west to occupy the mountain as the king, and later did not know that in order to make the bandit cause bigger and stronger, they carried out mutual mergers and acquisitions, thus forming a group of bandits, because it was named Erwang Mountain, which means the mountain of the two kings.

The process of their robbery has also been very specialized, first sent a large number of spies, along the mountain road to investigate, especially for the post station rest merchants and pedestrians are their focus of attention, and then visually inspect the items they carry, according to the level of money, food, cloth, and general goods, that is, the first focus on robbing money, then food, the others are second, the spies detect the specific situation and then report to Erwang Mountain, after the discussion and judgment of the bandit strategy research department, and then submit the plan to the two mountain kings, Then, after the king's approval, he began to prepare manpower and weapons for the robbery target, and then went down the mountain to prepare for the robbery.

Their robbery was also very distinctive, first with a slogan, and many people threw down their belongings and fled for their lives when they heard the bandits of Erwang Mountain. In this case they do not kill, let them go. If the slogan doesn't work, the next stage is violence and intimidation, when the bandits begin to surround merchants and passers-by, threatening each other with weapons, and ordinary caravans also spend money to eliminate disasters, so they admit it. But there are also people who desperately resist, then they start to kill people and sell goods, and once they do it, they basically do not leave a living mouth, except for the elderly, children, and women.

At present, there are a total of 3,000 bandits in Erwang Mountain, of which there are more than 1,000 real bandits, and the others are family members and robbed women.

There is only one road in and out of the two mountains, and the mountain road is very steep, and there are bandits guarding all dangerous positions, and they are only allowed to go to the slogan. Therefore, for many years, the officers and soldiers were helpless against them, after all, the large army could not be used, and they were guarding the pass without opening the danger, so there was no way to take them at once, but sometimes the bandits went too far and aroused great public indignation, so the officers and soldiers symbolically went into the mountains to scare and warn.

In addition, according to those spies, Erwang Mountain has accumulated a lot of food, money, and other materials on the mountain for so many years. After saying that, he smiled again.

I glanced at Wang Er with contempt and said to him: Very good, in this case, you send a few shrewd guards to follow those spies back to the mountain, and report that they have inquired clearly, our convoy is the convoy of the senior official of the Beijing Division, and many of the treasures on the car are from the south, and they are pretending to tie up a few guards, saying that they are coachmen and know the specific things on the car, and then they blow it to the bandits, and it is nothing to exaggerate. Then if the bandits go down the mountain to rob, the guards will find a way to set fire to their cottage, create a fire, so that the bandits can't take care of each other, take advantage of this chaotic moment, and then go down the mountain to solve the guards of the pass, and take the Royal Forest Army team to take their lair, and meet us at the bottom of the mountain, and attack up and down, and solve the bandits at once.

Wang Er was stunned and opened his mouth wide, speechless, I glared at him, and he came back to his senses and said: Shopkeeper, I can't see it, you are more ruthless than our Imperial City Division. I despised him and instructed: You tell the Eastern Evil Yuan Minfeng, and ask him to explain to Wang Dazhuang, the head of the Imperial Forest Army, the Royal Forest Army is divided into three teams, one team is behind the convoy to take care of, and the other two teams are ambushed near the pass of the two cottages of the bandits, once the guards of the Imperial City Division let go, they will begin to prepare to receive and occupy the cottage, by the way, don't forget to ask them to transport all the money and property to me. Food, you can't do without. Clear?
