Chapter 378 Lanping County

These are still important, but they are no longer the most important thing in his heart at this time. When the suspected Shenjian sect member sent a sniper blow to him, Wang Junlin's focus was no longer on the Li family in Longxi. Even if it weren't for Chen Danying,

In the hands of the Longxi Li family, they are no longer too lazy to deal with the Longxi Li family with all their strength.

At this time, Wang Junlin was preoccupied with whether he was the so-called Messenger of the Spring and Autumn Period. For this reason, he planned to go to the ancient tomb in Qingshui County, Tianshui County as soon as possible, where he had traveled through time. Maybe there he could find whether he was the messenger.

What bullshit is the secret of the Spring and Autumn Messenger?

However, Emperor Yang Jian's appetite was far more than that. Whether it was because Wang Junlin did not want to go too far and cause all the powerful families to become hostile, and secretly expressed his intention of reconciliation to the Li family in Longxi, or because of the Spring and Autumn Envoy incident, Wang Junlin's focus was no longer on it.

But in order to give Yang Jian an explanation, some things still have to be done, such as preparing evidence that can frame the Longxi Li family for treason. Of course, if the Longxi Li family can pay a sufficient price, it might be a deal.

.

Xu Jingzong covered his eyes with his hands to block the sharp cold wind, came to him and asked for instructions: "Master Hou, according to the current speed, we will be able to leave Lanping County and enter Longxi County tomorrow."

Not long after Wang Junlin left Jincheng, he secretly left the imperial guard of honor. Their team at this time was a caravan escorted by more than a dozen guards.

Pinglan County is the southernmost county of Jincheng County. It is surrounded by countless mountains and rivers. To the east is the mountainous Pingliang County. Looking to the northwest is Jincheng, where the central prefecture of Yongzhou is located. Pinglan County is located from Longxi County.

The place I must pass when going to Jincheng County is not far from the two big cities of Longxi City and Jincheng. Although the high mountains and ridges have brought a lot of inconvenience to transportation, it is still a transportation hub. Logically speaking, there should be a gathering of merchants.

, it is busy and people's livelihood is peaceful.

It’s just that today’s Pinglan County seems a bit dilapidated. It’s not that the scenery is so bleak or the houses are old, it’s just that the faces of pedestrians walking on the street are dull and lifeless, and the street vendors can’t cheer up either.

Pancakes, steamed buns... all seemed to have cooled down.

The reason why Pinglan County has become what it is today is because of a strange weather event. Since the beginning of winter, there has been a snowstorm in the three northern counties of Yongzhou. I don’t know how many people have been affected by the disaster. Fortunately, Wang Junlin raised enough food not long after the disaster, so he did not die.

There were too many people, and there was no major epidemic, but such exhausting efforts made the entire Pinglan County look lifeless.

The second strange official, this magistrate of Pinglan County is an official of the Li family in Longxi. Relying on the power of the Li family in Yongzhou, he usually only knows how to show authority and blessing in the county, curry favor with the people, and bully the merchants and common people, not to mention repairing.

Roads and bridges are being built, and even ordinary security cannot be maintained. They can only impose excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Moreover, it has been said that the county magistrate has some connections with the White Scorpion Gang, a green forest gang in the Black Rock Mountain to the east. Such a county magistrate has jurisdiction

In this place, nature and people's livelihood are withering, business travelers are sneaking around, and serious businessmen have no time to hide. Who dares to stay in the city.

Three strange thieves. The people of Pinglan County are tough and tough. They have had a glorious tradition of taking up hoes to fight against the government since ancient times. Now that there is such a ghost official, there are naturally more and more poor people going down the river and up the mountain.

However, things seem to have changed a lot since this year. First of all, the Pinglan County Magistrate was captured by the notorious poisonous general a few days ago and was captured in Jincheng and killed in front of the victims.

On the day when they learned that the county magistrate died, the people of Pinglan County beat gongs and drums, cried and shouted to each other to celebrate the death of the plague god. People who passed by and didn't know the inside story thought that the people of Pinglan County chose this day to celebrate the death of the plague god.

Marry in groups.

Another change is that the Green Forest Bandits of the White Scorpion Gang in the Black Rock Mountain to the east seem to have become much more honest and have not come out to do business without capital for many days.

However, the people in Pinglan County were not happy for long, because they thought that if the county magistrate died, the court would send another magistrate. If the bandits from Black Rock Mountain did not come out to harm people, other bandits would soon appear. The lives of ordinary people

It's still so difficult, and there won't be any change in texture.





In the backyard of a tavern in Wutou Town, the southernmost part of Lanping County at the border with Longxi County, a dozen men dressed as coolies were gathering together to discuss something, and the ferocious looks on their faces seemed to reveal their other side.

an identity.

Surrounded in the middle was a young man in his twenties. He had good features, fair skin, and was quite handsome, but there was a hint of ruthlessness between his eyebrows. As soon as he opened his mouth, the men around him all behaved obediently.

He kept his mouth shut, but he was a leader.

"It has been found out that they are merchants who came from Shazhou in the Western Regions to purchase silk and pottery, and are preparing to go to the capital city of Guanzhong."

"Young village leader, there are more than ten guards in the caravan." A coolie reminded.

The person known as the Young Village Leader is the young leader of a large green forest gang in the mountains at the junction of Longxi County and Jincheng County. From now on, there will be snowstorms in the three northern counties, which will make life difficult for the people, and the heroes on the Green Forest Road will also be affected.

It was also difficult.

The young village leader sneered: "They are just businessmen, what does it matter? Besides, you have also stepped on it, so I don't need to tell you how heavy the box on the carriage is, right?"

The words were plain, but as soon as the box was mentioned, the coolies' eyes began to heat up. Walking in the rivers and lakes, experienced green forest warriors could judge the weight and value of the goods in the car by looking at the dust raised by the wheels.

Yesterday, a caravan came from the north. There were four carriages in total, three of which contained goods from the Western Regions. One of them contained two rather heavy large boxes. Since the beginning of winter last year, they have rarely seen a caravan of this size.

To the bandits, the caravan was naturally a rare big fat sheep. While the caravan was resting in Wutou Town and purchasing a place for food and water, someone had already inquired about the caravan's affairs.

What puzzled these bandits was that since they were merchants collecting ceramics and silk, how could they put such heavy goods on one of the carriages? So that the weight of this vehicle was obviously very different from other vehicles pulling goods.

This question was finally answered when an informant brought food and water to the caravan. There were two boxes on the heavily guarded carriage. It depends on the bearing capacity of the carriage and the iron key on the box.

With faint scratches on the box, the thieves discovered with great keenness that the box was actually filled with silver!

"No caravan would bring so much silver from Shazhou to Guanzhong to buy ceramics and silk."

The young man known as the young master of the village actually still had some doubts in his heart, but he wanted to stand out among his father's many sons and eventually inherit his father's village. He always had to make a few big deals to convince the killers in the village.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone around and robbed people myself.
