Chapter 383 Queen Gaochang
Ye Xiu stood for a long time on the bustling and empty street corner, his expression was the same as usual, only the hand that was holding the hilt of the sword was tightened.

After an unknown amount of time, he glanced at the direction of the inn, said "go back", and then turned around without looking back.

The attendant caught up with some puzzlement: "My lord, didn't you go to the inn to save that woman?"

The identity of Princess Xiyue is not a secret in the upper circles of Gaochang. After all, the incident was so big that year, and it is said that all the people who participated in it died.

"The other party may have an ambush, and they are afraid that they will wait for us to pass."

The personal guard was startled, then heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Big Xia people are really cunning."

Then he asked worriedly: "Where is the master?"

Half of the man's face was hidden in the mask, and he couldn't see the emotion in his eyes clearly: "I will write a letter to report the situation here to the master, and apologize to the master."

Thinking of the secretly rumored methods of Queen Gaochang, the guard shuddered.

……

Yun Shu carried the embroidery thread she had bought and walked towards the inn. When she passed the corner, she felt a strange look looking at her.She frowned, but when she turned around, she saw nothing.

She didn't take it seriously, after all, because of her appearance, it was always inevitable for her to be stopped by others when she went out.

In the backyard of the inn, where Shen Mingjiao and the two lived, the guard in charge of the lookout came back and reported:
"Young master, he's gone."

Feng Lisheng sat at the stone table and flipped through the official documents. He was surprised for a moment when he heard the words, and soon fell silent again.

Tie Zhu felt a little regretful: "Then our work is in vain!"

They have been sending people to keep an eye on Princess Xiyue's accomplice.Until this morning, the guards captured all the hidden piles that Mrs. Feng had confessed to, and then let the princess take most of the guards there.

His Highness speculated that the other party would take this opportunity to rescue Princess Xiyue.The manpower was arranged early.

"Why don't the subordinates directly lead people to follow..."

Feng Lisheng raised his hand: "No, it's still the same as before, just send someone to follow quietly."

Although Tie Zhu was puzzled, he just responded respectfully.

Feng Lisheng lowered his head and continued to read the file.These are the records of bandits in Xianyang County over the years.He focused on about seven years ago, and his eyes were set on the last file.

He ordered Tie Zhu at the side: "Send two more people to Ganzhou, and bring them back after finding out what happened to Xia Yuan."

After these two days of investigation, and from the words and phrases inquired by the people in Xianyang, we can know.

It seems that there have always been bandits in Qin. According to local old people, there have been bandits in the Qishan area many years ago.But they were all just small troubles. Usually, they only robbed some wealthy businessmen and gentry who passed by, and they only took some money to buy the road, and they never hurt people's lives.

Over time, this has become a hidden rule, and every passing caravan bodyguard agency will take the initiative to hand in the road money.In contrast, these bandits will also ensure the safety of this section of the road.

Because no one was killed, the government turned a blind eye. After all, the bandits in this world cannot be suppressed.

It has been peaceful for many years, and the people of Qin gradually got used to the fact that there are bandits in the depths of Qishan Mountain.Because this group of people never cut off the people, the Hundred Stars were not too afraid.

Until about six or seven years ago, the former head of the Bandits passed away, and the new head of the bandits was a real villain. The whole caravan.A loyal servant fled to the government office in the city to report the case.

Now that people are killed, the government must no longer turn a blind eye to it.

After the Xianyang prefect who was in power at that time found out what was going on, he directly joined forces with the garrison in Qin to gather troops and prepare to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits.

At that time, Xia Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Qin State, was in charge of leading the troops to suppress the bandits.And according to what is written on the file.Because these bandits were stubborn, they had a fierce conflict with the officers and soldiers, and they were all killed.Most of the officers and soldiers brought there were also killed or injured.

Afterwards, Xia Yuan made an apology to the imperial court. Jing and Emperor felt that he was almost defeated by bandits in a mere area of ​​the army. They suspected that he was slack in training and directly demoted him to Ganzhou as a general.

According to the memories of the local people, when the government led troops up the mountain that day, they did hear shouts of killing.On the second day, only Xia Yuan brought a few remnants down the mountain.

The bandits and officers and soldiers almost died together, and all the corpses were completely burned by the unintentional fire.

In the following year or two, people went up the mountain one after another, claiming to be the family members or comrades of the dead officers and soldiers.

And those people never came out after entering the mountain, so some people rumored that all the dead bandits had turned into ghosts.It was a time of panic.

The governor of Xianyang couldn't help it, so he invited eminent monks to do a supernatural rescue, which calmed the panic of the people.Since then, no one has dared to enter the mountain again.

When he found out about this, Feng Lisheng angrily smashed the teacup in his hand.You don't need to think about it, you know, those bandits are all alive and well, but the only ones who really died are the officers and soldiers who went up the mountain to suppress the bandits.

A total of [-] soldiers, these people went up the mountain with the sincerity of making contributions to eradicating violence and peace, but what awaited them was a dead end that had already been set.

In the following six or seven years, there were still bandits in Qin land from time to time, but because of the erratic whereabouts of these people, the government never caught anyone.

Feng Lisheng sneered, at that time several county guards in Qin land had become the prince's people, so naturally it was impossible to really arrest them.

……

After Yexiu went back, he wrote down everything that happened in Qindi in a letter, and had someone send it to Gaochang.

At the same time, the two hidden piles who had escaped before desperately sent the letter.A goshawk flew across the vast desert, and finally came to a small oasis country with pleasant scenery.Stopped at one of the most beautiful and exquisite palaces in this country.
