Chu Huan knew that if it wasn't for Su Zhongyan's real emergency, Bai Xiazi wouldn't talk nonsense on such an occasion, so he frowned, and immediately gave everyone a brief order. Everyone knew that the governor had something urgent to do, and understood himself All the errands left at the moment.

Su Zhongyan came over soon, and Chu Huan knew that the matter was not simple the first time he saw him.

Su Zhongyan came from the Su family, a gentry and a wealthy man, pampered and pampered, although there was a difficult time of wandering, but after returning to Xiguan, the master settled down, and his face was full of red before.

But today Su Zhongyan's face was pale, and his eyes were full of horror. When he entered the hall, before Chu Huan could speak, he knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, something serious is not right."

Chu Huan frowned and asked, "Get up and talk first."

After Su Zhongyan got up, Chu Huan asked, "What happened to make Qi Shu so anxious?"

His marriage with Lin Lang was a certainty, and the Su family had already regarded Chu Huan as their son-in-law. When there was no one else, Chu Huan respected the elders of the Su family.

"Salt...!" Su Zhongyan was out of breath, panting very quickly: "The salt was robbed...!"

Chu Huan heard what he said unclearly, and wondered: "What was robbed? Salt? What salt? Who robbed it?"

At this time, Bai Xiazi had already delivered a cup of tea, Su Zhongyan was thirsty, took the tea, drank half of the cup in one gulp, and then explained: "My lord, the new salt transported to Hezhou was caught on the way. Robbed."

Chu Huan's expression changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "Is it a shipment to Hezhou Salt Company?"

"Exactly." Su Zhongyan said: "The 20 jin of new salt sent to Hezhou six days ago was halfway there. Just after entering the territory of Hezhou, it was all snatched up by a group of people. Not only the new salt was robbed, but the escort They also killed more than [-] of Xinyan’s former buddies, but fortunately a few clever ones escaped back.”

Chu Huan said angrily, "Do you know who did it?"

"I brought the guy who escaped here, and he knows the specific situation." Su Zhongyan said anxiously: "He's outside now."

"Let him in!"

The guy who came in was less than 30 years old, with a bandage on one hand. After entering, he fell to his knees. Chu Huan frowned and asked, "What happened? Tell the truth."

The man raised his head and said, "My lord, we packed [-] catties of new salt and sent it to Hezhou according to Su Dong's family's instructions. When we entered Hezhou, it was dusk. We wanted to find a place to rest, but we haven't arrived yet." In the villages and towns, a group of people suddenly came out. They were fierce and tight. They killed us when they saw us. The little one was cut off in the shoulder and rolled into the grass. They thought I was dead, so they ignored me. I think Let them take away the car and the new salt...!"

"Then did they say where they came from?"

"No, they don't say a word, they kill people when they see them, and they don't chase those who run away very much, they drive the car and leave immediately...!"

The blind white man couldn't help asking: "Then what marks do they have?"

The man thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "They are wearing ordinary clothes, which are different. They look like a group of ordinary people, but everyone is riding a horse and holding a knife in their hand...!"

Chu Huan raised his hand to stop: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about? They are all riding horses?"

"Yes." The man hurriedly said: "They are all riding horses and holding knives. When they come, they are like a gust of wind. When they leave, they disappear after a while...!"

Chu Huan looked at Su Zhongyan thoughtfully, and asked, "Where is Lin Lang now?"

"Lin Lang also just got the news, she didn't have time to come here, she has already set off to the place where the incident happened." Su Zhongyan hurriedly said: "Lin Lang asked me to come and report to Sir."

"Lin Lang went to the place where the incident happened?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "When did you go?"

"Leave two hours ago." Su Zhongyan hurriedly said: "I have already persuaded Lin Lang to come over and discuss with the adults first, but such a big incident happened and so many people died, Lin Lang was very anxious, she wanted to see the scene , Are those guys dead? This matter was too sudden, so Lin Lang went to deal with it in person."

Chu Huan got up and walked out directly, and ordered as he walked: "Blind man, prepare your horse and go to the Imperial Guard barracks."

……

At the junction of Yuezhou and Hezhou, the roads are rough and deserted, and sometimes it is difficult to see a village for tens of miles.

Entering the territory of Hezhou, it is under the jurisdiction of Chenpi County.

Although Xiguan implemented the Land Equalization Order, seven or eight out of ten Xiguan refugees have already returned home, but some of them have not returned to their hometowns. Moreover, Hezhou raised troops not long ago, and many people wanted to wait until the weather calmed down before turning back.

In Chenpi County, it is easy to see deserted villages. Sometimes it is difficult to find a single person in a village with more than a dozen families, and it is terrifyingly silent.

A village near a lush forest seemed even more deadly silent. It was already late at night, and the village was only illuminated by the moonlight, without a trace of fire.

However, there are seven or eight dilapidated houses that have been in disrepair for a long time. If it is the rainy season, the house will not be able to block the rain or wind at all.

It's just that in this quiet and desolate village, there are still figures flickering. A figure hurriedly came to a thatched hut. The people inside seemed to be very concerned about the situation outside. The door was opened just as the figure approached the door. , the figure flashed in.

"Boss Fu, there is good news...!" The figure entered the room and immediately said excitedly.

There were three or four figures in the room, sitting or lying down. After this person came in, the person who was lying down had already sat up, and a heavy voice asked: "What's going on?"

"I have already inquired. The government has moved the target to the north, and the intersection to the south has been opened."

The boss Fu said with a smile: "Grandma, I have been suffocating these few days. You really need to find out, the main roads in the south have already withdrawn troops?"

"They've all been evacuated." The visitor said, "It just so happened that a group of people in the north caused an incident. The government thought they were responsible for the incident, so they have already searched there."

After a moment of silence in the room, the boss Fu said: "Go out and find out more clearly, don't let the government play tricks on you." He asked again: "Have you hidden everything?"

"Don't worry, it's well hidden, there won't be any problems." A soft voice next to him said, "Brother, can we go? We've been hiding here for several days, and our bodies are about to stink. I need to find a place to wash it properly...!"

"Fart...!" Boss Fu laughed and scolded: "I don't know what you're thinking, and what the hell is the thing in the crotch, I'm so busy, I want to find a place to breathe...!"

"The little one has only this little hobby." The soft voice said with a chuckle: "This time we went out to look for food, but unexpectedly harvested a large amount of salt. The credit is not small. After returning, Boss Fu will definitely be promoted. No one will underestimate brother."

Another person sighed beside him: "Yeah, we're finally going to feel proud this time. Damn, with our achievements this time, it's enough to go to Piaoxiang Peak ten times or eight times."

Boss Fu said in a deep voice, "Don't be so useless. When you really get ahead, you won't have enough women. What kind of things are there in Piaoxiang Peak? If you really want to play, go back and play with those officials, wives, officials Miss...wait a little longer, take care of everything, it's really all right, let's set off again."

The figure who just came in hurriedly said: "Boss Fu, there is one more thing, I'm afraid it's good news...!"

"what's up?"

"We have already found out that they have another batch of salt to be sent to Hezhou. I heard that there is no shortage of salt in Hezhou. We robbed them of a batch, and they can only send another batch." The man lowered his voice and said: "Listen! Said that the number is more this time, look at us...!"

"Okay...!" The soft voice clapped his hands and said, "Boss, they sent it up by themselves, so we can't let it go."

The boss Fu immediately said: "Fuck your mother, the rumors haven't passed yet, who knows where the second batch came from...!" Asked the previous person: "Where did you get the news? Are you in Shuoquan City?"

The man said: "When I was inquiring about the news over there, I went to Shuoquan City and went to the largest salt store. There is already a lot of salt stockpiled there. I found out that the new batch of salt was shipped to Hezhou. And after inquiring, they did take precautions."

"beware?"

"That's right." The man explained: "I heard that this time they divided into two groups. The first route hired Shuoquan's bodyguard agency, which has a large number of people. This is the Ming route. It's a dark road."

After thinking about it, Boss Fu immediately understood, and said with a sneer, "This is a secret, hehe... Where did you get the news from?"
