Chapter five hundred and fourteen: let nature take its course
Liu Zhong, Chen Yong, and even Liu Wanyan's eyes instantly became fierce when they looked at the group of bandits.
It was this group of hateful bandits that caused them to lose so many guards two days ago, that was dozens of lives!
Do you know how much pension they will pay to the Liu family?
A dozen bandits who rushed out from the shadows of the hillside couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva when they saw the sudden surge of people. For a moment, they had an illusion. Are they bandits or the bandits on the other side?
Why do those people look at them more fiercely than they, the real bandits?
Chen Yong looked at Xu Qing who swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and explained with a smile: "I was robbed last time, so I am more cautious this time."
Xu Qing nodded repeatedly: "You should be cautious, you should be cautious."
But after being cautious, Xu Qing suddenly realized, is the Liu family here to compete with him for business?
I saved them in the first place, are they repaying kindness with enmity?
…
After the caravan guards had a "cordial and passionate" exchange with the bandits, the group of bandits put down their weapons and squatted on the ground.
At this time, a guard was snatching the money bag of the leader of the bandit. The leader of the bandit tried his best to protect the bag and refused to let go. He said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, it's not easy for me to grab some money. You
Hold your hand high!"
The guard snatched the money bag of the leading bandit: "It's not easy for you to rob money, but it's easy for me to rob it? Let's get you!"
There were also several guards who were punching and kicking several bandits who tried to resist, and said in a fierce tone: "You bandits are the ones who killed my brother, I'll beat you to death!"
The bandits huddled on the ground and protected their heads, almost crying without tears: "Brother, this is really the first time we have been robbed...the first time we have been robbed by you. I have never seen you before, and I have never killed you."
You brothers!"
The guards continued to punch and kick: "Anyway, it was the bandits who did it. I can't beat you damn bandits to death!"
Chen Yong looked at the guards who were already searching the hillsides on both sides and said, "Search carefully, don't leave anyone alive."
Xu Qing, who was standing by, watched as the bandits' money bags were snatched away one by one by the caravan guards, and his eyes widened.
This money should belong to them!
At this moment, Liu Wanyan came over and looked at Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue and said: "Since the Liu family caravan was rescued by the princess and the marquis two days ago, my father has thought that he can be poor and take care of himself, and he can help the world if he is successful.
We hired some extra guards to hide them in the cargo carriage, and the bandits who couldn't resist the temptation went down the mountain to rob and then came out from the darkness. Later, when pedestrians passed by here, they would not be troubled by the bandits.
.”
Xu Qing looked at the guard behind Liu Wanyan who was snatching the money bag from the last bandit. After swallowing, he said inconsistently: "Very good, very good."
They are doing well, but their own business is less.
After the last joint bandit suppression operation by the Forbidden Army Shadow Guards, there are currently few bandits along the way, so it depends on your luck to encounter them.
Now there is one more competitor.
Who can I talk to to reason with this?
…
Liuzhou
Nowadays, all kinds of martial arts people come into Liuzhou City every day, and they hold different weapons. They look like a white-faced scholar with a turban and a feather fan, or a burly man with a broad body and a sword on his back.
They all came to Liuzhou to participate in the martial arts conference.
The governor of Liuzhou was worried about such a large-scale gathering of martial arts people. If something went wrong, it would be no small matter. One or both of his hat and head might fall off!
The frightened Liuzhou governor immediately rushed six hundred miles to the capital, and lived in constant suffering.
Give the order to arrest people. They are reasonable and lawful and have roads to guide them, so there is no way to arrest them.
If you don't arrest me, I'm always afraid of something happening.
The key person in charge is still a powerful family that has been developing in Liuzhou for more than ten years.
Although he settled here not long ago, he has a profound background, everyone is good at martial arts, and has an extraordinary temperament. He has opened martial arts schools, recruited many disciples, and has become even more famous in the world.
Of course, the Liuzhou governor did not take care of these matters.
The poor are poor in literature and rich in martial arts. Those who can afford to go to martial arts schools are rich people. This family has created a lot of tax revenue for Liuzhou. These are real political achievements.
However, in more than ten years, he has become a powerful person and is highly respected in the martial arts world.
Someone originally spread the news that a martial arts conference was held in Liuzhou, and the governor of Liuzhou was happy to hear the rumor. Who knows, but later he found out that this thing was not a rumor. After careful investigation, he found that it was not groundless, and someone was indeed in charge!
Today he finally received the memorial personally approved by His Majesty.
It was also expedited over 600 miles away.
There are only four characters in the memorial: Let nature take its course.
After receiving His Majesty's approval, Liuzhou Governor finally felt relieved.
Judging from His Majesty's calm appearance, I must have known this for a long time.
It seems that a group of people came to Liuzhou not long ago to rent Liuzhou and surrounding commercial hotels with large sums of money. There is no need to worry about it anymore.
As His Majesty said, just let nature take its course.
…
In front of the counter of a hotel in Liuzhou
A strong man was surprised when he heard the shopkeeper's quotation: "A normal guest room costs one or two silver dollars for one night? Why don't you go and grab it?!"
The shopkeeper looked at him with a strange look, which seemed to say: What do you think I am doing?
The waiter on the side walked up to the strong man and said: "This strong man, you don't have to worry about no one staying in the Liuzhou Inn now, it's the same price."
The strong man said in disbelief: "Is the bed in your inn made of gold or the cabinets in your inn?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "My lord, look at how many people come in and stay in Liuzhou City every day. These are all outsiders like you. If you think it's expensive, I think it's too expensive."
The mighty man gritted his teeth and said: "One or two, one or two, open a room for me!"
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao Liu, take this guest to the guest room."
The strong man asked again: "There won't be any problems with your room, right?"
After all, it’s only one tael of silver a day, which makes me feel distressed.
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Look what you said, we who own an inn can still rent you a poor house?"
…
In front of a small inn on the road leading to Liuzhou
Xiao Ruxue had already entered the room with great anticipation and was waiting for Xu Qing to tell her a story tonight.
Wei Xiong walked to the door of the inn, looked at Xu Qing who was standing outside, and said, "Commander, you should exercise some restraint."
Xu Qing asked in confusion: "What restraint? Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Wei Xiong waved his hand quickly: "I definitely don't, I am thinking about you. You see that you are working hard day and night. If the princess gets pregnant early, it will be difficult for the prince's commander to explain after he returns...
"
Xu Qing's eyes widened when he heard Wei Xiong's words: "What did you say? What's the big belly?!"
Wei Xiong said very honestly: "Yesterday you stayed in the princess's room for half a night before you came out. We all saw it."
Xu Qing's eyes suddenly widened: "We were telling stories!"
