Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

Shen Jia lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Our banknotes disappeared at some point."

"When did you disappear?"

"It was still there when I went out last night, but it was gone when I woke up this morning."

"Where did you go last night?"

"We walked around the street and went to a big restaurant for dinner."

"So you don't know where the banknote fell?"

Shen Jia shook his head: "I don't know, alas! What a bad luck!"

There was a trace of sympathy in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he comforted him: "It's a waste of money to prevent disaster. Just be more careful in the future. I'm paying for breakfast this morning."

"Thank you, shopkeeper. We brothers still have enough money for breakfast." After Shen Jia finished speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and gave it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper accepted the offer when he saw that he couldn't pass it off, and also told them to be careful when going out.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen responded with smiles.

The few people were still lingering outside the inn until they finished their breakfast.

The two of them made the decision at the same time to leave Jiangcheng for the time being.

They shook off the tail behind them and returned to the county where they temporarily settled as quickly as possible.

The people from the Flying Tigers haven't come back yet.

Shen Jia frowned slightly, "Achen, how much do you know about the prefect of Jiangcheng and the governor of Zhongzhou?"

Xiao Yichen fell into deep thought, and after a while he said: "You Zhihua, the magistrate of Jiangcheng, was born as a serious Jinshi, and his wife is the niece of Mrs. Pingguo. I was deeply impressed by this. Because when I left the palace at that time, I happened to see the sedan chair. .As for Ding Wang, the governor of Zhongzhou, I vaguely remember that his wife is Jiang Shoufu’s adopted daughter.”

Shen Jia felt something was wrong, "Jiang Shoufu's adopted daughter?"

"Yes, that's right." Xiao Yichen nodded.

"How did Ding Wang become the governor of Zhongzhou?" Shen Jia took a sip of tea, holding her cheek and looking at Xiao Yichen quietly.

Xiao Yichen picked up the tea cup, opened the lid, and gently brushed away the tea leaves. His movements were indescribably elegant and noble.

"I heard Grandpa Huang say that Ding Wang was originally from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. More than ten years ago, Zhongzhou suffered from drought for several years, and the people's crops were harvested, resulting in serious banditry. He asked himself to follow to suppress the banditry at that time. The general of the bandits went to Zhongzhou to suppress the bandits.

Because he was good at martial arts, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, and captured many bandits. Jiang Shoufu built momentum for him, and he was soon promoted to the fourth rank of military general. Five years ago, a group of bandits gathered in the Panyun Mountain area of ​​Zhongzhou, and the emperor appointed him. He was the governor of Zhongzhou and was ordered to come to Panyun Mountain to suppress the bandits. "

Shen Jia was puzzled, "He has been in Zhongzhou for several years and has not wiped out the bandits on Panyun Mountain. Doesn't the Emperor have any doubts?"

"I remember his memorial said that there were thousands of bandits on Panyun Mountain. The bandits built their stronghold on three sides with cliffs and only one side goes down the mountain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Please ask Grandpa Huang to be more lenient. In time, he will definitely wipe out all the bandits in Panyun Mountain. In the next few years, he would write memorials and return to Beijing every once in a while, saying how many bandits he had wiped out, and once he was seriously injured because of the suppression. …”

"In other words, he lied to the emperor from the beginning, exaggerating the number of bandits, and then reported to the emperor at regular intervals how many bandits were suppressed? This, this, doesn't anyone doubt it? Or maybe they were just feinting. With guns, he led his men and horses to the mountains to suppress the bandits. After pretending to capture the bandits, he secretly released them. With You Zhihua as cover, it was not difficult to do this..."

"Why don't we go explore the Zhongzhou Governor's Mansion first, maybe we can find some clues."

"Exactly what I want. By the way, I looked up Jiang Shoufu's adopted daughter. I suspect that she is the Yangzhou thin horse raised by Jiang Shoufu." "Yeah! I also have this guess."

It wasn't until evening that the Flying Tigers and the secret guards came back one after another.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen sorted out all the news they reported.

The conclusion is that there are more than a thousand bandits on Panyun Mountain, and they are all ruthless, robbing women, killing people and stealing goods, and they do all kinds of evil.

When going to Beijing from the south, you have to pass through Zhongzhou Province. Passing Panyun Mountain can save you two days of travel, so ordinary businessmen will take the risk and take this route.

The Shen family's escort team always adheres to the principle of safety first, and would rather take more detours than face such a group of fierce bandits. Because Shen Zhuoyun and others were on their way, they took the way to Panyun Mountain and met the small group of bandits.

To wipe out the bandits on Panyun Mountain and bring Jiangcheng Governor You Zhihua and Zhongzhou Governor Ding Wang to justice, the breakthrough lies in their relationship. As long as evidence is found to prove their relationship, other things are not difficult to handle.

Xiao Yichen's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, "You will continue to go out and inquire tomorrow, write down the victims' families, and focus on asking about the bandit leader. It is best to ask the older people, maybe you can find some clues. …”

Shen Jia enthusiastically taught them how to talk to people without leaving any trace. After an hour, the group of teenagers felt enlightened.

The next day, Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen put on makeup and rode to the Zhongzhou Governor's Mansion.

The governor's palace is in Ancheng, about one hundred and fifty miles away from Jiangcheng.

That is to say, they went from the county where they live now, first to Jiangcheng, through Panyun Mountain, and then to Ancheng.

When they passed Panyun Mountain, they deliberately asked their horses to slow down so that they could observe Panyun Mountain carefully.

Looking from a distance, Panyun Mountain has many mountains and dangerous peaks. Nearby, you can see dense vegetation, ancient vines and old trees with different postures, and colorful exotic flowers and plants.

The highest peak is visually estimated to be about two thousand meters above sea level. Such high peaks can be seen everywhere in Lingnan, but they are extremely rare in Zhongzhou, which is dominated by plains.

The two continued on their way and entered Ancheng at Shenshi.

After booking a room at the inn, we went for a stroll on the street.

When I meet some children, I give them a few candies and ask a few questions. When I meet a kind-faced old man, I look for opportunities to come up and talk to them.

The two of them put on ordinary makeup and carried several large bags of the best snacks and candies in their hands. They had sweet smiles on their faces and their mouths were as sweet as honey. After a conversation, the old man accepted them. "Gifts," the good boy yelled, and he told them everything he knew.

"Grandpa, how old are you this year?"

"I am an old man. I am eighty-eight years old this year."

"Wow! Looking at your rosy face and strong body, we thought you were only in your early fifties?"

"Thank you for the compliment, little doll. It seems that your accent doesn't sound like the locals. Where are you from and where are you going?"

"Grandpa is so smart. You have guessed all this. We are from Jiangnan. Before we went on a trip, my mother told us that if we go to Zhongzhou, we must go find her uncle's cousin, who is also our cousin.

My cousin married from the south of the Yangtze River to Zhongzhou more than ten years ago. In the first few years, she asked the escort agency to bring letters back. However, there has been no news at all over the years, which made her mother very worried. They told us to search for our cousin's family when we arrived in Zhongzhou. However, when our brothers found the address where our cousin had sent the letter, the people there actually said that there was no such person. We searched nearby for nearly two months, but to no avail. ,Why! "
