Although the light in the darkroom was not good, Feng Ziying could still clearly see the change in Feng You's expression through the gap under the eaves, "Uncle You, is this troublesome?"
"Brother Keng, you don't know that these bandits are different from ordinary bandits. I just don't understand why Linqing Prefecture can have such powerful bandits!" Feng You really didn't understand.
He can be regarded as an old character who has been with the Great Zhou Army for twenty years. Even in the Bansheng area, the Ministry of War's Staff Division has a close eye on the movements of the White Lotus cult bandits there. Why did he do this to Shandong?
Do the religious bandits on earth know nothing?
There is also the Shandong Qing Li Division of the Ministry of Justice, which is known as the third largest Qing Li Division after the North and South Zhili Qing Li Division and tied with the Zhejiang Qing Li Division. It is said that there are hundreds of informants under its command. How can it be incompetent against a bandit of this scale?
Known?
Even though banditry is not the main business of the Punishment Department, there must be many gangsters here. How can the Punishment Department ignore it?
Not to mention that there is also the Long Jinwei who specializes in spying on the affairs of officials and private gangsters.
Although the Supreme Emperor began to rectify the Long Jinwei after he ascended the throne, and the Long Jinwei gradually declined in power, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. How can Long Jinwei be free of responsibility for such a major event?
"So what?" Feng Ziying still doesn't quite understand.
"Brother Keng, this White Lotus sect bandit is different from ordinary thieves. The important figures in it are very good at colluding with each other. They have always been on good terms with all kinds of people. I am afraid that there are many local tycoons and wealthy people hiding among them, and they may even be friends with the nobles in this city.
People are somewhat involved, otherwise how could they have invaded the city so easily?"
Feng You shook his head repeatedly, "Such a big thing has nothing to do with us, but it's become difficult for us to escape and return to Beijing. I think they don't seem to have any intention of leaving at this moment."
"Uncle You, are you saying that these White Lotus people are really going to rebel?" Feng Ziying still didn't believe it.
How could he be involved in a rebellion, and become a poor outcast, drifting with the crowd, or else he might end up dead?
Feng You hesitated for a while, then slowly shook his head: "Looking at their situation, it doesn't look like it. If they really wanted to rebel, how could they be so stupid? They didn't attack Brick City and capture the entire Linqing Prefecture City, and they didn't do it quickly.
Reorganizing the team, collecting food, grass and property, but just lazing around here unhurriedly, aren't you waiting for death?"
"Or maybe the bandits themselves are not unified internally and are divided, so they can't make up their minds?" Feng Ziying felt a glimmer of hope again.
"It's possible, but this group of religious bandits looks very different from the religious bandits in Bansheng. I can't figure out whether they belong to a group or not. What do they want to do? Is it just to make money in this city?
Just run away and leave? Then they should go to Gulou Street and Zhongzhou, which are good places. Why come here outside Yongqing Gate? But don't attack the inner city?"
Feng You put his hand on the wall in confusion, stared at the observation hole, and said in confusion.
The darkroom secret room is divided into two sections. The lower part is a semi-submersible secret room. The so-called semi-submersible secret room means that half of it is underground and half is on the ground. It is one and a half feet long and six feet wide. There are several wooden stairs going up.
, enter the wall next to the stone mill.
The design of this place is relatively complicated, and it is difficult to tell from the inside and outside. Only by standing on the cornice can you see that this section of the sandwich wall is particularly thick, much wider than the ordinary courtyard wall sandwich room, but it is very different inside and outside.
Because of the twists and turns, it is difficult to see the difference.
Feng Ziying and Feng You were standing in the darkroom diagonally above the secret room. From here, they could observe the movement of the front yard and the inner yard from both sides, but they could not see the situation inside the hall.
"It seems to me that the kiln workers, Lifu and the weavers in Cotton Lane are not with these religious bandits. Most of these kiln workers and Lifu are locals from Linqing, and these religious bandits are more likely to come from Xiajin
The accent from Wucheng is more like the accent from Yuncheng and Juye like the previous one."
The skinny black boy Zuo Liangyu came up at some point and hunched over to look out.
"Oh? Can you hear their accent?" Feng You was also impressed by this boy.
"I've been hanging around Linqing Wharf for so many years, but I haven't seen anyone from this place in Shandong?" the thin black boy said proudly.
"The one with the surname Zhao before must have an accent from Juye, Yuncheng. Their accent is quite different from ours, as do the people who followed him, but the earliest Hu Er should be Xia Jin, Wu
Although I have never seen Hu Er from this side of the city, I have heard it mentioned by the Lifu gang on the pier. He should be the Lifu leader from the Ferry Station. It is said that he is said to hate the world without rings and is as powerful as
Ox, very brave."
Dukouyi belongs to Xiajin, just between Linqing Prefecture and Wucheng County. Along the canal, it is only fifty miles away from Wangjiaqian in the north of Linqing Prefecture City to the southwest, only twenty miles away from Wucheng to the northeast, and Xiajin County City
There is only forty miles of land.
The geographical location here is advantageous. It is across the river from Qinghe County in North Zhili across the canal. Many grains, cloth and fruits in Qinghe County are transported through the ferry, and the specialties of Xiajin County, black dates, are also shipped south through here.
I have to say that the two sides of the canal are really the best part of Shandong. The coastal areas are densely populated and there are many market towns. All kinds of special products are transported in and out through this waterway, which can be said to be a matter of survival, and it also feeds countless people.
In addition to the largest Zhoucheng Wharf in Linqing Prefecture, along the canal, there are Wangjiaqian in the north and Daijiawan and Weijiawan in the south. In particular, Weijiawan is the most prosperous town between Linqing Prefecture and Dongchangfu.
Grain, cotton and pigs from Qingping, Gaotang and Chiping were traded and exported here, and it was very prosperous. Even Dukouyi, Wangjiaqian and Daijiawan were not bad.
On these Zhendian wharves, there are at least a hundred people and as many as hundreds of people. For example, the people in Weijiawan are divided into three groups, each group has more than a hundred people, those who carry grain, those who carry cotton, and those who carry cotton.
Those who carry salt carry salt, and then several other types of bulk goods are divided and controlled by these three groups of people.
No matter where you come from, the merchants must follow their rules. Naturally, there are leaders here, either local rogue leaders with some background, or some who have a lot of force and fight with the local gentry.
Backup rogue.
"Since Hu Er is a big and big person, how far is the ferry station from Linqing City? I'm afraid many people in this city know him, right? Hu Er is not afraid of being caught by the government in the future and beheaded?" Feng
Yu didn't understand even more.
This question was indeed a bit big, and it also stupefied Zuo Liangyu, who claimed to know everything. After mumbling for a long time, he could not explain himself.
Feng Ziying also didn't understand.
If it's really a simple-minded Lifu who was taken advantage of because of his temporary anger, then that's fine. But for a character like Hu Er who has been in the world for many years, how can he not understand the pros and cons?
But today, he actually dared to use the cover of the White Lotus Sect in broad daylight. Are you really planning to rebel?
This is unreasonable, but Feng You and Feng Ziying, who don't know what the inside story is, naturally have a hard time knowing it.
