Lord, the princess is beautiful and fierce

Chapter 1092 Yangzhou Bandits
Chapter 1092 Yangzhou Bandits
There was a Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet in the palace, not many people were invited, but both Sun Linge and Sun Lingfang from the Sun family invited them.

Those who are interested naturally know what's going on, and Mrs. Liang is very happy. As for the invitation of Sun Linge, she thinks that there are probably two girls in the house, so it's not good to invite only one.

Mrs. Liang was already busy with the banquet, preparing to make her daughter shine, and had no time to care about Sun Lingge. On the day of the banquet, Sun Lingge suddenly had a stomachache. Mrs. Liang wished that she would not go, so she told her to rest at home and wait for Liang As soon as Shi left, Sun Linge and Shiliu packed up their things, saying that Liang Shi forgot to take spare clothes or something, and she had to send them there, and the people in the mansion let them go without thinking too much.

Halfway, Sun Lingge found an excuse to get out of the car, passed through a restaurant, walked around a street from the back door of the restaurant, got into the carriage he had already hired, changed into men's clothes with Shiliu and went out of the city all the way.

When the coachman found out, he hurried back to the mansion, but Mrs. Liang was not there, and everyone was uncertain. When Mrs. Liang came back, it was already evening, and only then did he know that Sun Linge was gone. Abnormally, there's something Liang doesn't understand.

Sun Linge ran away.

She actually ran away.

Mrs. Liang couldn't come back to her senses for a while, it had been nearly a day since Sun Linge escaped, and there was a sea of ​​people, where else could she look?
Mrs. Liang was dumbfounded. She met a few girls from the Queen Mother's side, and she also met the girls from the Sun House, but Sun Lingfang always gave people the feeling of using too much force, and she was quite good at talking, but who was the Queen Mother?In the first half of her life, she had enough teasing with Concubine Shu, but later she was also troubled by Leshan. She was instinctively disgusted with this kind of people, and she lost interest after saying a few words. But when she learned that Sun Lingge was ill, she It's a pity that she even wondered if Mrs. Liang suppressed her niece and didn't let her enter the palace.

As for the other girls, there are a few good ones, and the Queen Mother is satisfied, but this is up to the Lord to decide.

Who knew that the Lord did not come today, but after asking, I found out that banditry is rampant in Yangzhou, and it has become a trend in the past few years. They specialize in robbing passing businessmen. In the past, they were just robbing money, but now they are blatantly killing people and stealing goods. Xiao Yu took it himself. He was ordered to go to Yangzhou to suppress the bandits.

The Queen Mother sighed, and suddenly lost interest, forget it, let him go.

...

Yangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Sun Linge and Shiliu arrived at the boundary of Yangzhou smoothly. The two of them had never traveled far, so they found a caravan to go with them.

"How long is it?" Sun Linge asked.

An old man next to him said with a serious expression, "It took half a day to get there, but there is something wrong with that road. The small road that we used to take was submerged in the rain a few days ago, so we can only take the main road."

Sun Linge didn't understand what he meant for a while.

Another merchant said: "Is this the first time you have come to Yangzhou? I don't know that although Yangzhou is a prosperous place, you have to pay tolls to cross the road."

Sun Linge said: "Isn't the road owned by the government? Why do you have to pay?"

The former uncle said: "Yangzhou banditry is rampant, and the government sent many people but failed to wipe it out completely. Now, it has become an unwritten rule to pay tolls when entering Yangzhou City."

There was a lot of discussion.

Shi Liu was a little scared and said, "My lord, are there really bandits?"

Sun Linge had heard about it before, she nodded and whispered to Shiliu: "Let's be careful, from now on, the two of us will take turns to rest."

Even in this caravan, there are a lot of casual people mixed in, who knows if there is any internal response of bandits?

For so many years, the government has not wiped out the bandits, so it can be seen that there may be bandits in the government.

Sun Linge looked around, everyone was doing their own things, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

After the caravan was repaired, the leaders came one by one to collect the money, saying that it was for some management and would be handed over later.

It wasn't much anyway, and everyone paid for it, thinking about spending money to buy peace.

Shiliu was obviously a little nervous, but Sun Linge was also nervous, but at this moment she knew she couldn't be messed up.

After waiting all morning, everything was sorted out there, the caravan set off again, passing a place called Hulukou, suddenly there was a shout from the mountain, and then, a large group of people rushed down from the mountain, and the whole caravan made a mess. Before everyone had time to react, they were surrounded by a group of armed bandits.

"Squat down, all squat down, put your hands up."

The bandit spoke Yangzhou dialect, Sun Lingge couldn't understand it but Shiliu understood it, and when she was pushed down to a squat, both of them were terrified when they saw such a battle for the first time.

The others were also trembling, not understanding what had happened.

The leading captain negotiated with the bandits, saying that they had given money to Mailu, but the bandits spoke a few words in Yangzhou dialect, but glanced at the women.

Shiliu whispered: "The bandit said that today is their leader's birthday, and they want some women. As long as they are called out, they won't hurt the caravan."

She was glad that she was wearing men's clothes, but she was worried about being discovered.

If he was really caught by bandits, he might as well be dead.

The master and servant lowered their heads, resigning themselves to fate.

The people in the team naturally disagreed, the women were all their wives and daughters, who would want to hand them over to bandits?
But the mountain bandits were fierce, and when they saw someone yelling that they didn't want to, they pulled a businessman who was talking to him with a knife and said that he was about to chop him off. Seeing that the knife was about to chop off the man's head, everyone in the team closed their eyes in fright. .

A stone from nowhere hit the bandit's arm, causing the bandit to suffer so much that the machete fell to the ground.

"Who? Who hit me."

It was useless to yell a few times, the man wanted to raise the knife to chop again, and another stone hit the back of his hand.

The bandit finally realized that something was wrong, and stared around vigilantly, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Arrest them all."

The bandits tied up a group of people and dragged them to the mountain.

Sun Linge looked around and found the very tall man with a big beard. He was the one who threw the stone just now. Sun Linge was very close to him, so he could tell.

She glanced at the man again, thinking that he would lead everyone to resist, but he didn't. He shrank his neck, looking very wretched and timid.

Sun Linge frowned slightly, if this person was unreliable, she would have to think of other ways.

But what else can I think of?

She is a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken. Maybe her status is useful in Xinjing, but here is Yangzhou, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Who cares about the life and death of her niece, a servant.

Sun Linge thought about it for a long time but didn't come up with any good idea, and the people had already been taken up the mountain, and a group of them were locked in a large open-air yard surrounded by fences, and there were bandits watching from outside.

A group of people squatted on the ground, dejected, Shiliu was even more frightened, looking around in horror.

Sun Linge chose a place close to the bearded man to sit down, and secretly observed the bearded man.

As soon as the beard came in, he found a comfortable position and slept against the wall.

Sun Linge looked at him for a while and saw that he didn't respond. She was a little disappointed, and then leaned against the fence to rest.
