Chapter 765: Complicity
"It's not doubt, it's certain!"
The Ninth Princess said, "In fact, before we implemented the slave order, the Secret Spies Department discovered that many slaves from aristocratic families left the capital and went to various places. At that time, they said to the outside world that the home could not afford them, so they drove them out to make a living.
But I thought it was the aristocratic family who was deliberately crying for poverty, so I ignored it. But now I think about it, they are probably sent by the aristocratic family to seduce people."
"These people are really thief-hearted!"
A trace of fierceness flashed in Jin Feng's eyes.
Before, the rich man and brothel stopped the slaves and girls from leaving, and the powerful people in the capital were secretly instigated.
Jin Feng had known this for a long time, but he also had the same concerns as the Ninth Princess. It was impossible for him to kill all the powerful people in the court, otherwise Dakang would be in trouble.
Therefore, Jin Feng had no choice but to temporarily endure it, let Zhong Ming's group record the people who took the opportunity to make trouble, and prepare to develop enough teams before liquidating them one by one.
Unfortunately, the powerful and powerful didn't give him this time at all.
The powerful people in the capital did not dare to fight with Jin Feng themselves, so they went to instigate the local powerful people and noble families.
These local tycoons have never seen the terrible slut of bodyguards, and the exaggeration of the powerful and powerful people in the capital, scaring them that Jin Feng has already controlled the emperor. Now that they have banned the tyrants and taxes and vigorously suppressed bandits is to win people's hearts.
After accumulating enough people's hearts, Jin Feng will kill the powerful clan and divide the land and lead the people to rebel.
Communications were backward in the feudal era, and many local wealthy families were really scared.
However, most wealthy families have at most dozens of thugs, and they have no capital to compete with Jin Feng.
So the powerful people in the capital fell in love with the Cao family in Suizhou.
The Cao family has money and is not far from the capital, so it is the best knife.
Suizhou is located south of the Huai River and is also part of the south of the Yangtze River according to traditional geographical divisions.
Although the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce does not attach much importance to Suizhou at present, it only built an outlet in Suizhou City, and the county governments below did not send anyone to develop it, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jin Feng and Tang Xiaobei attach great importance to Jiangnan.
In recent months, the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce has blossomed everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and has opened outlets in almost all cities above the county government along the Yangtze River. Then, using these outlets as bridgeheads, it continues to expand to the north and south sides.
The Suizhou branch of Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce has been making frequent moves recently, obviously preparing to develop markets in surrounding counties.
The Cao family is a local snake in Suizhou, and the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce is a cross-river dragon.
When the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce develops a market, it will definitely have conflicts with the bandits supported by the Cao family.
Who doesn’t know what the Zhenyuan Escort Agency treats bandits?
The Cao family was worried about how to deal with Jin Feng, and the powerful people in the capital sent someone to find him.
In order to make the Cao family work hard, the powerful and powerful in the capital promised many benefits.
The Cao family had long been dissatisfied with Jin Feng, and both sides had common enemies, so they hit it off.
The powerful and wealthy people in the capital secretly paid for money and grain, while the Cao family sent people to quickly form a army to support the king.
Knowing that the matter involved the powerful people in the capital, Jin Feng's attitude became cautious.
"If this is the case, the situation is really complicated. I'll ask someone to call Brother Liang Luo Lan and the others. Let's hold a small meeting to discuss it together, so that we can focus on finding out the gaps."
"I think so too."
Princess Nine nodded in agreement.
Soon, Zhang Liang, Luo Lan, Monkey, Da Zhuang, and the relevant person in charge of Zhong Ming's team rushed to the side hall next to the imperial study room.
Jin Feng remembered that Kitakixun had been in Suizhou for a while and had a deep hatred with a group of bandits in Suizhou, so he called her into the house.
After the crowd arrived, Jin Feng began to introduce the situation.
As soon as he finished introducing, Luo Lan couldn't wait to ask, "Sir, how is the Chamber of Commerce in Suizhou?"
The expressions of Zhang Liang, Da Zhuang and others also instantly became serious.
"This is not mentioned in the official documents sent by the spy department, but I'm afraid there will be a lot of danger..."
Jin Feng's tone was also a little low.
All bandits in Suizhou were controlled by the Cao family. Before that, the Cao family was unwilling to have a conflict with Jin Feng, so they restricted their bandits from being in the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce and were allowed to go.
Therefore, in Suizhou, the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce is quite safe and there are fewer bodyguards assigned.
Now that the Cao family suddenly turned against each other, it is very likely to be unfavorable to the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce.
As he was talking, someone knocked on the door outside.
Qin'er went over and opened the door, and Zhu'er came in with a small note.
"Your Highness, this is the latest information that the Spy Division just received."
After saying that, he looked at Jin Feng, Zhang Liang and others with complicated eyes.
Jin Feng suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart, and he leaned over to check the notes with the Ninth Princess.
The next second, Jin Feng's face became extremely ugly.
"Sir, what happened?" Da Zhuang couldn't help asking.
"You just guessed it right. After the Cao family rebelled, they immediately captured the owner of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce in Suizhou City. The secret spy department just heard the news that the bandits killed all the men and hung their heads on the flagpole, and the female mate and female shopkeeper..."
The Ninth Princess didn't continue to say this, but everyone present knew what kind of human tragedy they would face.
When Jin Feng returned to Xichuan from the East China Sea, he rested in Suizhou and talked to the female shopkeeper of the local chamber of commerce and many friends.
The female shopkeeper is a typical Sichuan girl. She smiles very gently and has two deep dimples on the corners of her mouth.
When Jin Feng thought that the female shopkeeper and the chamber of commerce were either dead or worse than death, he couldn't help but feel angry.
The two men of Dazhuang Monkey even rush to ask for orders to wipe out the Cao family. Even the eagle, who had always been taciturn, clenched its fists at this time.
"Calm down, the Cao family is probably deliberately angering you!"
When the Ninth Princess saw that Jin Feng looked wrong, she quickly stepped forward and held Jin Feng's right hand.
"I see!"
Jin Feng closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.
After his anger, Jin Feng also felt deeply regretful.
I regret not paying attention to Suizhou and not having arranged enough bodyguards and Zhong Ming’s team members.
This caused the Cao family to attack the Chamber of Commerce and he didn't know whether he had learned the news from the Secret Spies Department.
Zhang Liang calmed down first, looked at the Ninth Princess and asked, "Your Highness, where have the bandits of the Cao family been here?"
"From the information sent by the Secret Spies Department, they crossed the Huai River yesterday, and at this time they were probably about to arrive in Zhenyang County, Runing Prefecture." The Ninth Princess said.
"Why is it so fast?"
Zhang Liang asked in surprise.
The straight line distance from Suizhou to Beijing is less than 700 miles, and it is more than 200 miles to Zhenyang County, Runing Prefecture.
The south of the Huai River is mountainous and hilly terrain. After crossing the Huai River, it is a plain with flat rivers.
In other words, at this time, the bandits of the Cao family had already walked the most difficult two hundred miles, and the secret spy department discovered that they were coming to the capital.
"The Secret Spies Department is mainly guarding against the capital. There were no secret spies in Suizhou. The noble family and the Cao family were also very careful this time and have been marching secretly. After crossing the Huai River yesterday, they really couldn't hide it. They spread the expedition to the world, and the Secret Spies Department discovered it."
