Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chapter 277: Robbery (please subscribe and vote monthly)

Qingyan directed her consciousness in the direction of the town. She hadn't noticed it before, but now she realized that the entrance to the town was not an archway but a gate, which was now closed.

A small town even had a city gate and a watchtower next to it, making it look like a bandit's fortress.

etc!Could it be that the two county magistrate brothers made their fortunes through robbery?

It costs ten copper coins to enter a town. I don’t know how much it costs to enter a county town.

Their car was parked in an open space not far from the city gate, and there were many people gathering around home units to light fires.

Some used wood to support straw curtains to block the wind, while others used piles of luggage to surround an area. There was no cooking at this time, and there were a few who came late like them and just ate dry food.

Qingyan used her consciousness to observe everyone. It seemed that they were in good spirits just a few days after the disaster. At least they still had food, but they had no shelter.

I just don’t know if there will be trouble when the county magistrate keeps going on like this, people will eat less and less, and their patience will run out.

While the car was parked, Qingyan fed and peeed the child in the carriage and cleaned up. Fang Zhengyi also came over with hot sesame cakes and dried meat.

Qingyan took out a copper pot of hot water, as well as pickles and mushroom sauce, and the three of them drank the hot water and ate together.

Fang Zhengyi: "Since we can't get in, we might as well continue on our way. There is a town six or seven miles ahead. We can go there and have a look. If there are guest rooms, we can rest there. It is worse than freezing here."

Fang Dayou also nodded aside, but there was worry on his face, because he knew that there was little hope, and he was not allowed to enter here. Many people who were familiar with this road should have gone there.

Qingyan nodded, "That's fine, it's too cold at night. Rather than stopping here, it's better to walk on the road."

It didn't matter to her, since there was a charcoal stove in the carriage, so sleeping would be no problem, but the Fang family, father and son and the two horses were suffering a little.

And even if she brought out a charcoal basin, it wouldn't work. There was a lot of luggage in the carriage of the father and son, and there would be no room for the two more people to put the charcoal basin. She was also afraid that they would be poisoned by carbon monoxide.

After feeding the two horses some water and fodder, they lit the torch again and set off.

Qingyan blew out the oil lamp. This was not like a spiritual stone lamp. The car could easily catch fire if it left.

Anyway, there is a torch on the shelf in front, which can bring in some light. The child is already asleep, so the dim light is good.

Qingyan asked Daxiong to follow the carriage in front, and then she lay down with Yuanbao and the child in her arms.

It was impossible to sleep, so He Chou Chou sent his spiritual consciousness to the county magistrate's house to see if there was anything wrong with the magistrate.

If there is really a problem, such as disregarding human life or something, you can let Chou Chou kill him and change the county magistrate of Yongfeng County to prevent these villagers from dying in the snow disaster and dying at the gate of the county.

It turned out that the Yongfeng County Magistrate did not live in the yard behind the county government office. It seemed that he had opened a separate mansion.

Just based on this, the county magistrate is not a good person. If there is an emergency, the yamen servants have to go find someone. It is not like asking the concierge to know if the yamen is there.

She didn't know the county magistrate's surname, and it was impossible for him to call the newly opened mansion the county magistrate's mansion, which would be difficult to find.

However, Chou Chou said after a while: "I found it. The fifth house on the main street in the west of the city is written as Yang Mansion. The one with the stone lion at the door is the one."

Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "How did you find it?"

Chou Chou said proudly: "I looked at several of the biggest and best courtyards, and I saw official uniforms and official hats in that one."

Qingyan: "..."

She had forgotten about this, and it seemed that she was still an ugly monkey.

She looked towards the house Chou Chou was talking about, and sure enough she saw an official hat on the porcelain vase on the table in that hall.

The official uniforms were neatly placed on the shelves in the inner room, and three people, one man and two women, were lying on the kang.

The man was a bit old and the two women looked very young. Qingyan quickly removed her consciousness. This official was quite playful...

After looking at other courtyards, there were also many people living there, mostly women. It seemed that the lechers had not escaped.

"Chou Chou, look at whether there is a secret room or something in his family. My salary alone cannot afford to support so many women. If it is found out that he is corrupt and has violated the law, I don't know if I can give him a handjob."

Chou Chou: "If you want to take the path of the imperial court, it is purely redundant. There must be someone behind this kind of official. Even if he is given up to bear all the crimes, it will probably be enough for a year and a half. Have you never heard of the saying Officials protect each other."

Qingyan frowned. It was indeed true. She didn't mean to meddle in every nosy matter. If this happened to her, she should just do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

If this person is really greedy at that time, he can give the money he found to Li Hao in Yunzhou. Their family's character is still trustworthy and it will most likely be used for military supplies.

Chou Chou searched the entire Yang County Magistrate's house and concluded that there was none.

"No? It's impossible. How could he maintain such a big yard, so many women, so many children, and so many servants if he's not greedy for money?"

Chou Chou: "To raise so many people, all the money has to be spent. Besides, it doesn't necessarily have to be hidden at home. It might be hidden somewhere else."

Qingyan also felt that this was a possibility. Smart people knew that eggs could not be put in one basket. People in this big house were so talkative that it might not be possible to hide them here.

But this way, it would be difficult for them to find them. After all, they couldn't keep their eyes on this side.

He frowned and thought for a while, then said to Chou Chou: "Then you look for the home of his cousin who is the mayor. I always find it strange that there is no inn in Wangkou Town.

Since you can do things like collecting town fees, why don't you want to make money by setting up an inn? As long as it's cheaper than the ones in the county town, there won't be fewer people staying there.

It feels like they just don’t want outsiders to spend the night in the town, or they don’t want outsiders to come into town. "

Chou Chou: "Yes, I just said that I felt something was wrong. It turns out that this is here. I will take a look at the mayor's house and the entire Wangkou Town. Maybe their money is hidden there."

Before Chou Chou could find the place where the money was hidden, the carriage stopped. Qingyan stood up, put on her cloak, opened the carriage door and got out.

I shivered because of the cold wind outside and sneezed heavily.

Seeing Fang Dayou walking in front, he asked directly: "Brother Fang, what's going on in front?" Apparently Fang Dayou heard her sneezing and asked with concern: "Miss Yang, are you okay? Please don't I'm caught in the cold, and the road ahead is blocked by a fallen tree. I'm about to go see what's going on, and I'll come back and let you know if anything happens."

Qingyan nodded, "Okay, brother Fang, be careful. How could a tree appear out of thin air on this official road? Someone didn't put it there intentionally."

The enlargement includes: "My dad said the same thing, I will pay more attention, and the girl will pay more attention too, I am worried that someone will come from behind."

Qingyan nodded again, "I will watch."

After the envoy left, Qingyan immediately looked around with her consciousness.

There was nothing in front, but there were ambushes behind and on the left and right. There were estimated to be 40 to [-] people. A few people in white cloaks came over, and the others were hiding behind the slope.

If it weren't for Qingyan's spiritual awareness, it would have been difficult to spot those people. The white cloak almost blended into the snow.

These people all seemed to have some skills, and it didn't look like they were doing it on the spur of the moment. They probably did a lot of robberies here.

Qingyan asked Yuanbao to take good care of the child and asked Daxiong to pay attention to it. If anyone approached the carriage, she would kick him. She took off her cloak and took out the pair of bracelets she had obtained at the back of Qinian Village from her storage bag. .

When the switch is pressed, it turns into two pointed spears, and then the middle pair turns into its original form, black gold double-headed beryllium.

Then wear the matching goggles and wrist guards inside. With so many people, there will always be a fight, so take good protection to avoid injury.

To be honest, I haven't used this set of things since I got it. The main reason is that I didn't have a chance to use it at all. One or two problematic Chou Chou were cleared away at a short notice.

This time it was because both of their consciousnesses were elsewhere and they didn't pay attention here, otherwise they wouldn't have entered each other's encirclement.

When she was fully equipped and put on her cloak again and was about to walk over, Fang Dayou had already returned.

He went to the front to investigate, and of course he couldn't find anything. However, Fang Zhengyi was a veteran on the battlefield after all, and he immediately discovered the problems on both sides of the official road.

He had already taken out a weapon. Coincidentally, his weapon was also a long spear, which was drawn from under the carriage shaft.

On the battlefield, every inch is longer and every inch is stronger. Most people like to use longer weapons, but it is more convenient on horseback. If you want to fight in close combat, it is actually somewhat inconvenient.

When Fang Dayou came back and saw his father holding a weapon on guard, he knew there was a problem on either side and quickly entered a state of preparation for war.

Although those people did not rush out rashly, after they stopped the carriage and the surrounding area became quiet, the sound of rustling snow on both sides could still be heard.

The other party obviously knew that he had been discovered. The people on the left showed their figures directly and shouted: "Brothers! Come on!"

Seeing this, Fang Dayou quickly pulled out a big knife from the car.

Qingyan nodded secretly, fortunately, this sword is more suitable for close combat.

Looking at the people rushing up from behind, I originally thought of pretending first, but now I saw that they were going straight to work, so I had no choice but to take off my cloak again, throw it into the car, and directly rush towards those people behind!

In this way, the three of them happened to be guarding one side, and on average one person had to deal with about ten people.

Qingyan aimed at the person who was charging at the front and shot him horizontally, knocking him to the ground.

She didn't kill, she just made the other party lose the ability to resist. After all, she didn't know whether these people were extremely vicious, so she had to knock them all down first.

Just thinking about it this way, when I saw that the other party had a big knife in their hand, and when they slashed at her, they were all aimed at her vital points, I knew that these people didn't hold back at all, they were here to kill her.

Then she no longer showed mercy and began to beat him to death. She hit a person with a double-headed beryllium and broke his head and blood flowed. Then she turned back with her carbine and stabbed the person who wanted to attack behind him!
With a little force, he pulled the pointed tip out of the man's chest, then returned his hand and stabbed the man next to him holding the sword high.

One person was killed and three were killed in just one encounter. The people behind her were frightened by her deadly quickness, and they had some intention of retreating and did not dare to step forward rashly.

Qingyan didn't give them a chance to escape. Now that they were here, it was impossible to leave just as they wanted. She had to give them a good fight!
When she rushed into the crowd, she picked, stabbed, stabbed, and swept. Within a moment, more than a dozen people were knocked to the ground. Most of them were beaten to the point where their heads were blown off and they died immediately. A few had their bones broken and were crippled. After all, with her strength , ordinary people can't stand it.

Those who were hit were almost crippled, lying on the ground unable to even utter a cry.

After dealing with these people, he didn't rush to interrogate them. He turned around and ran to Fang Dayou to help.

After all, he is still young, and even if he has some skills, he is still a bit weak against ten.

Of course, Fang Zhengyi's side is similar, just a little better than his side.

As soon as he got there, he used his hand to knock away the swords of two people, knocked them to the ground, and said without looking back: "Leave it to me here, you go help your father!"

Seeing that she was doing it with ease, Fang Dayou nodded quickly and turned around to go to his father's side.

With his joining, the pressure on Fang Zhengyi suddenly decreased, and he could only focus on dealing with the most skilled man.

Qingyan didn't hold back and used three strikes, five additions and two strikes to finish this place off, and then went back to help the father and son.

Fortunately, these people came for people, probably with the intention of killing them, so no one sneaked over to the carriage.

After all, if you kill them for money, the things in the carriage won't be able to escape, so there's no need to run over to the carriage on guard and just fight them directly.

With Qingyan's participation, the battle was quickly ended, and the most skilled person who was suspected to be the leader was disabled, allowing him to stay awake for a while so that he could be questioned.

Fang Zhengyi and Fang Dayou looked at her with admiration. They knew she was good at skills, but they didn't expect her to be so good. She was such a complete master of the world!
no!They will also ask Miss Yang for advice in the future, and try to learn some martial arts skills that can defeat the enemy with one move.

The two of them bowed to Qingyan, "Thank you, girl, otherwise we, father and son, would have to deal with it here."

Although they have some skills, after all, the opponent has good skills when there are many people. Even ordinary people can take them down with so many people. After all, there are many ants and they can kill an elephant.

Qingyan stretched out her hand to help them up, "What are you doing with so many gifts? Besides, the other party is here for me. It's important to ask them if they have any accomplices first. These people don't look like they are doing it on the spur of the moment. They are probably here. He has been doing evil for a long time."

The two fathers and sons agreed and went to interrogate the leader. Qingyan was not listening, but ran back to her carriage because she heard the child's soft cry.

He must have been woken up by the sound of fighting outside, and he cried because he didn't see anyone.
