Chapter 192 Robbers
Chu Huan knew that if Su Zhongyan had not been in a hurry, the blind man would not have said much nonsense on such occasions. He frowned and briefly gave instructions to everyone. Everyone knew that the Governor had something urgent to do, understood his job, and immediately stepped down.
Su Zhongyan came over quickly. Chu Huan saw him for the first time and knew that things were not simple.
Su Zhongyan came from the Su family, a gentry and a wealthy man, and lived a pampering life. Although he had a difficult life of wandering, after returning to Xiguan, the head of the army settled down and his face was full of red before.
But today Su Zhongyan's face was pale, his eyes were full of horror. When he entered the hall, he had already kneeled to the ground without waiting for Chu Huan to speak, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, big things are not good."
Chu Huan frowned and asked, "Get up and talk first."
After Su Zhongyan got up, Chu Huan asked, "What happened to me that made Uncle Qi so anxious?"
His marriage with Linlang is a foregone conclusion, and the Su family has regarded Chu Huan as their son-in-law. When no one is around, Chu Huan also has three respects to the elders of the Su family.
"Salt..." Su Zhongyan was out of breath and panted very quickly: "Salt was robbed..."
Chu Huan was confused when he heard what he said clearly, and said strangely: "What was robbed? Salt? What salt? Who robbed it?"
At this time, Bai Xiaozi had already sent a cup of tea. Su Zhongyan took the tea and drank half of the cup in one gulp, and then explained: "Sir, the new salt transported to Hezhou was snatched halfway."
Chu Huan suddenly changed his expression and said in a deep voice: "Is it a product shipped to Hezhou salt?"
"That's right." Su Zhongyan said: "The 50,000 kilograms of new salt sent to Hezhou six days ago. When I walked halfway, I just entered Hezhou and was snatched away by a group of people. Not only were the new salt taken away, but the guys who escorted Xinyan over were also killed by them. Fortunately, a few of them had clever escaped."
Chu Huan said angrily: "Do you know who did it?"
"I brought the escaped guy here. He knew the specific situation." Su Zhongyan said anxiously: "You are outside now."
"Let him in!"
The guy who came in was less than 30 years old, tied a bandage on one hand. After coming in, he fell to the ground and frowned. Chu Huan asked, "What happened? You tell me the truth."
The guy raised his head and said, "Sir, we took 50,000 kilograms of new salt to Hezhou as the orders of Su Dong's family. When we entered Hezhou, it was dusk. We were going to find a place to rest, but before we even arrived at the villages and towns, a group of people suddenly came out. They were so fierce that they killed us when they saw us. The small shoulder was cut and rolled into the grass. They thought I was dead, so they ignored me. I watched them snatch the car and the new salt...!"
"Did they say where they are?"
"No, they didn't say a word, they killed the person when they saw it, and they didn't chase the person who ran away, and drove the car and left immediately...!" The cadet was still scared, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.
Bai Xiaozi couldn't help but ask, "Then what are their marks?"
The guy thought for a moment, 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 hands...!"
Chu Huan raised his hand to stop: "Wait a minute, what did you say? They are all riding horses?"
"Yes." The guy hurriedly said: "Everyone rides on horses and holds a knife. When he comes, he looks like a gust of wind. When he leaves, he disappears in a while...!"
Chu Huan looked at Su Zhongyan thinking, and asked, "Where is Linlang now?"
"Linlang just got the news. She didn't have time to come here and had already set out to the site of the incident." Su Zhongyan hurriedly said, "Linlang asked me to come and report to the Lord."
"Linlang went to the site of the incident?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "When did you go?"
"Let's set off two hours ago." Su Zhongyan hurriedly said, "I have advised Linlang to come and discuss with the adults first, but such a big thing happened and so many people died. Linlang was anxious. She wanted to go and see if all the guys were dead. This matter was too sudden. Linlang went to deal with it himself."
Chu Huan got up, walked directly out, and ordered as he walked: "Blind, prepare your horse and go to the Imperial Guards."
...
At the junction of Yuezhou and Hezhou, the roads are rugged and desolate. Sometimes it is difficult to see a village for dozens of miles.
Entering Hezhou, it is the jurisdiction of Chenpi County.
Although Xiguan implemented the equal-field order and seven or eight out of ten refugees in Xiguan had returned home in a row, some of them had not returned to their hometowns. Moreover, the army was launched in Hezhou not long ago, and many people even thought about waiting for peace and then returning.
In Chenpi County, it is easy to see barren villages. Sometimes it is difficult to find a figure in a dozen families, and they are so silent that they are afraid of people.
In a village near a lush forest, it looked even more silent. It was already late at night, and the village was only illuminated by the moonlight and there was no trace of fire.
However, seven or eight dilapidated houses have been disrepaired for a long time. If it encounters rainy season, the house cannot block the rain or the wind.
However, in this quiet and depressed village, there were still people flashing. A figure hurried to a thatched hut. The people inside the house seemed to be very concerned about the situation outside. As soon as the figure approached the door, the door was opened and the figure flashed in.
"Boss Fu, there is good news..." The figure entered the house and immediately said excitedly.
There were originally three or four figures in the room, either sitting or lying. After this person came in, the person lying down had already sat up and heard a heavy voice asking, "What's going on?"
"I've found out that the government has turned the target to the north and the intersection to the south has been opened."
Boss Fu smiled and said, "Grandma, I've been so angry these days. Do you really need to find out clearly that the key roads in the south have withdrawn?"
"Everything has been withdrawn." The person who came said: "A group of people in the north happened to have an accident. The government thought it was theirs to do it, so it had already looked for it."
After a moment of quiet inside the room, Boss Fu said, "Go out and find out clearly, but not because the government is making a fool of himself." He asked again, "Have you hidden everything?"
"Don't worry, it's hidden tightly, there will be no problems." A soft voice next to him said, "Brother, can we leave? We have been hiding here for several days, and our bodies are about to smell bad. We have to find a place to wash...!"
"Fart..." Boss Fu laughed and scolded: "I don't know what you think, but the fucking thing in the crotch is so idle that I want to find a place to breathe...!"
"The youngest only has this kind of hobby." The gentle voice laughed: "This time we came out to find food, but unexpectedly received this large amount of salt. We made a lot of contributions. After we returned, Boss Fu will definitely be promoted, and no one will underestimate his brother in the future."
Another person sighed, "Yes, we are finally going to be proud this time. Damn, with our contribution this time, it's enough to go to Piaoxiang Peak ten or eight times."
Boss Fu said in a deep voice: "Don't be so fucking bad. When you really make a fortune, what women don't have are. Piaoxiang Peak is all about. If you really want to play, go back to play with those official wives and ladies... Wait a little longer, take care of the things. It's really okay. Let's set off again."
The figure who had just come in said hurriedly: "Boss Fu, there is another thing, I'm afraid it's good news..."
"What's the matter?"
"We have found out that they have another batch of new salt to be sent to Hezhou. I heard that there is no shortage of salt in Hezhou. We robbed them one batch, and they can only send another batch." The man lowered his voice and said, "I heard that there are more quantities this time, look at us..."
"Okay..." the soft voice clapped his hands, "Boss, this is what they sent it themselves, and they can't let it go."
Boss Fu immediately said, "Don't you bet, the storm has not passed yet, who knows where the second batch came from..." He asked the previous person: "Where did you find out about the news? Have you entered Shuoquan City?"
The man said, "When I was inquiring about the news, I went to Shuoquan City and went to the largest salt shop. A lot of salt had been stocked up there. I found out that the batch of new salt was shipped to Hezhou, and after finding out, they were indeed ready to be wary of it."
"beware?"
"No," the man explained: "I heard that this time they were divided into two groups. One of them hired Shuoquan's escort agency, with a large number of people. This is the bright road, and the other is a circle and goes around from the south. This is the dark road."
