Li Zifeng received accurate news from Shen Yu, saying that all the silver coins of Datong Money Village and Hongtai Money Village were on the way to Xiyuan Town.

In early summer, the weather has begun to get a little hot, and the breeze blowing on the cheeks has begun to dry, and the sky is floating on the belly of the fish.

At this time, at the junction of night and early morning, the water vapor drifted along the surface of the lake, which also caused the surrounding temperature to drop a few points, and the slight heat sensation just now also completely faded. It's just that the lake in front of me looks a little muddy, and the smell wafting over is with a burst of unpleasant smell.

If you look closely, there are several corpses floating on the surface of the lake, and the corpses are already soaked and white.

The roadside paths also sporadically displayed the corpses of refugees, with yellow faces and muscles, one of which did not look to be more than seven or eight years old, and was starved to death! There were also several corpses with blood stains, and some dry and hard steamed buns were scattered next to them, apparently because of the fight for food.

The scene in front of him is unbearable, and the Shura field in the world is nothing more than that.

Recalling the large amount of silver taels that flowed into the Lingye Palace and the Qingping Palace, Shen Hongfei couldn't help but clench his fists, his knuckles creaking.

Li Zifeng couldn't see, he could only see all this with his ears, so when the water vapor came with a suffocating stench, he always felt that when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the tragic things he heard seemed to have become more vivid.

"What's the front like?" Li Zifeng frowned, the sky was gradually brightening, and Li Zifeng had to wrap the black cloth in his eyes again.

Shen Hongfei shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "I advise you not to know." ”

At this time, groups of refugees passed by, looking in the direction of Li Zifeng and his party from time to time, muttering quietly. In order to hide their eyes, they also pretended to be refugees, so they did not attract attention.

Lingxi sighed slightly, and his eyes that were full of coquettishness on weekdays also dimmed a little, but his voice was as usual, and there seemed to be no ups and downs, "It's actually nothing ahead, but it's just some refugees." The clothes on his body are a little old, and it looks like he hasn't taken a shower for a few days. ”

Hearing her say so lightly, Shen Hongfei couldn't help but look at her sideways a few more times, and secretly slandered in his heart. When an ordinary girl saw such a scene, she was afraid that she would be so frightened that she would cry and call her mother, but this girl was calm.

Lingxi didn't care about Shen Hongfei's gaze at him, he looked at Li Zifeng slightly casually, and sighed in his heart, fortunately he couldn't see it at this time, otherwise he wouldn't know how sad he would have to be when he saw such a scene, like this kind of person who takes the world as his own responsibility, but he doesn't want to see these miserable scenes.

Li Zifeng's brows furrowed, he didn't believe that this matter was so simple, because the smell he smelled was indeed not just caused by not taking a bath for a few days. He smelled some rotting flesh. But because the people around him just said this to him, he didn't ask again for a while

Maybe the situation ahead is even more serious than he thought.

Li Zifeng raised his head, "Have you chosen a good location?"

Shen Hongfei raised his eyebrows, "How can this place be so easy to find, you see that birds here don't lay eggs, let alone people, even birds don't fly over." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved it a few times in front of him, "There are quite a lot of flies." ”

Lingxi is still calculating in his heart, because the famine is serious, so there is no ambush location that is particularly suitable for him in this area, can they still hide in the water by surprise?

Li Zifeng pondered for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and exhaled a little easily, "Our goal is indeed too big to hide, and it is difficult to do it, but there is a group of people who can appear in front of them in a reasonable form." ”

When he finished saying this, Shen Hongfei understood what Li Zifeng meant, Lingxi's eyes paused, the two glanced at each other, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they said in unison, "Refugees!"

Li Zifeng nodded, "Hmm... The refugees were displaced, and it was already precarious, and it was reasonable to find a group of people transporting several wooden boxes and intercepting them. ”

But the next moment, Shen Hongfei frowned, "Having said that, what if these refugees are in danger?"

Li Zifeng sighed slightly, and secretly slandered Shen Hongfei for having a lot of ideas on weekdays, but he was so brainless at this time. Shen Zhiping, who had been silent, smiled slightly, "Shen Gongzi was confused for a while, the senior nephew said that it was very reasonable for the refugees to appear, do we really want to find refugees?"

Shen Hongfei was stunned, looked at the appearance of their group, and suddenly understood, "I understand." ”

The group of people plus two Li Zifeng's two shadow guards and two Mu Lin Pavilion secret guards who secretly protected Shen Hongfei, it is not impossible for a group of eight people to pretend to be refugees, but the clothes on their bodies are similar, but their faces are still white, no wonder the refugees who passed by just now looked at them with strange eyes.

Lingxi smiled, rolled up his sleeves and began to dress these people up as refugees. After a lot of effort, the people all looked embarrassed and described as withered, no different from refugees.

At this time, the sun was shining, and the sun was shining brightly on all things on the earth, and the scattered corpses, the muddy river, and the putrid stench, seemed to be dilapidated and miserable.

In stark contrast to here is the city of Wei'an, which is hundreds of miles away, the sun is just right, the breeze is warm, the streets are bustling, and the sound of small traders is endless, especially outside the door of Zhou's house, there are more than a dozen people around, these people are dressed in brocade clothes, and they are rich merchants at a glance.

They probably heard about the loss of the Zhou family's goods and the loss of money in the return, so they held the silver ticket in their hands and appeared here invariably. Basically, it's 'return', 'cash withdrawal' and the like, and the gatekeeper is in a stalemate with these wealthy customers, and hurriedly sends the little guy in to report.

In the study of the Zhou Mansion, a foot of sunshine and a cup of tea, after Zhou Yixuan dealt with the compensation matters, he had time to enjoy the refreshments, but at this moment, the housekeeper Bo Yi hurriedly arrived, "Master!" The tone was a few points higher than usual, and it was also a little hurried.

Zhou Yixuan frowned, looked at Bo Yi who was in a hurry, and was quite dissatisfied, "What's going on again?"

Bo Yi hurriedly stabilized his breath, "Master, there are more than a dozen customers outside the mansion, all clamoring to return the order, and there is also news from Hongtai Qianzhuang that there are several big masters who want to withdraw immediately." ”

"What?!" Zhou Yixuan's heart was empty, and the tea cup in his hand trembled, and the light that came in obliquely through the crack in the window seemed to be a little dazzling.

If the last loss of goods was an accident, then this time... Zhou Yixuan's expression tightened, and he finally understood that this was deliberately done by someone. It is to cut off the Zhou family's financial route.

"Sir?"

Zhou Yixuan came back to his senses suddenly, put the tea cup in his hand on the table heavily, the tea rippled, splashed on the table, Zhou Yixuan frowned, "You bring some people to block, Hongtai Qianzhuang will be temporarily closed from today!"

The game looked solemn and prepared to retreat. At this time, Zhou Yixuan suddenly thought of the batch of money that had just been shipped away recently, and he was inexplicably uneasy in his heart, "Wait a minute!"

"What else does the master command?"

Zhou Yixuan frowned, and looked at Bo Yi deeply, "Just leave these things to the other stewards in the house to do, and you can immediately go and recover the batch of goods sent away yesterday." ”

The voice was low, which showed that the goods were very important to him, and Bo Yi also knew very well that the goods referred to the boxes of gold that he personally sent out of the city yesterday!

Bo Yi's expression was awe-inspiring, "The old slave understands!" After that, he took the order and hurried away.

But Zhou Yixuan's reaction was still a step late, and the gold he sent out still fell into the trap of others step by step.

The words were divided into two ends, Li Zifeng and his party were lying dormant and waiting, according to the latest information they received, the team escorting the treasure was about to pass through here.

Shen Hongfei was holding a straw in his mouth, and he was wearing a hat sewn from reed grass on his head, looking a little like a noble son who came out to play in the mountains and rivers, but his expression was not as relaxed as playing.

Ever since the three of them saw the tragic situation of the displaced refugees, they knew in their hearts that this plan could only succeed and not fail. Otherwise, what will be brought to Wei'an City will be a big hidden danger, and Zhou Yixuan's connection with Lingye Palace will be closer.

Lingxi sat on the ground, her small white fingers tightly grasped in the mud, and her expression was calm.

The sun was high, and the rotting earth on the ground attracted countless flies, and some other insects, which disturbed the three of them, but they all stood still like stones.

The four wandering 'refugees', who work in pairs here, unconsciously pass back and forth, are not eye-catching.

Suddenly, Li Zifeng said in a low voice, "They're here." ”

Before Shen Hongfei could react, he didn't know what Li Zifeng was talking about, tilted his head slightly, and saw that Li Zifeng's delicate and handsome cheeks were still stained with a few pieces of mud, but he didn't have any expression, his eyes wrapped in black cloth stared ahead, as if he was looking at something.

He lowered his head slightly, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the ground. The wave they had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

The person responsible for escorting the wooden box is the person from the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Lingye Palace, and the leader is the master of the Foreign Affairs Hall, Ling Jue, who escorts batches of treasures and gold, be careful, as the saying goes, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, the refugees in this place are displaced, I am afraid that there are also many wicked people, and their brothers were not less injured in the previous city, here, but be careful.

Ling Jue was dressed in black, riding a black horse, and was conspicuous in a group of people. It's just that they don't know that they have been targeted for a long time......

Li Zifeng squinted slightly, in his ears, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, according to the sound, he was afraid that the other party was not a few, this time, it was a little difficult. But he wasn't nervous at all, compared to the killers he faced before, these were nothing at all.

Several of the 'refugees' exchanged glances. The smell of gunpowder in the air was very strong, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
