Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Chapter 110 The Days When Bandits Came

No one, after devoting himself to a cause, would say that he has no resentment if he gets such a result.

"These are what we can offer." Lin Yiqing copied Sima Yang's order book and added the reasonable figures and prices they could provide.

If they don't do this business, the other party will definitely be worried. Since they have already done it, they will make as much money as they can.

In fact, they both understood that Sima Yang wanted grain seeds.

This time, the other party brought a big gift, so they should return some of it, but the maximum amount is only about 100,000 stones.

While cooperating with Sima Yang, Xu Siyu continued her promise to He Zhongteng. As for Fu Hexiang, Xu Siyu did not intend to give him any benefits.

She had spoken out of turn, but who was to blame?

Even when people's lives are threatened, Xu Siyu still has to keep his promise to his enemy. He is not a fool.

Xu Siyu even thought she was a little saintly. She didn't even want to chop off the murderer of her mother.

Maybe in her heart, death is not the best punishment, and she cannot let someone die directly.

From another perspective, she might be sick. She wanted to watch people like Fu Hexiang live in fear every day and slowly perish...

If Fu Hexiang had any sense of shame, he would probably understand that he should stay away from the Xu family and not bother them anymore.

But he was anxious. How did Lu Zichong get involved in the assassination attempt on King Linjiang?

He died, and the promised recommendation was gone.

Xu Siyu not only refused to deliver the grain seeds that he had promised earlier, but also wanted to ruin his political achievements. She really thought that he, the prefect, was just a piece of paper.

Fu Hexiang sent yamen runners to "invite" Xu Siyu to his house to discuss matters, but they were beaten back by the newly recruited guards of Cuihua Garden.

Lin Yiqing still gave him face and asked Shi Jin to greet the prefect on behalf of the couple, and also left a carbon copy of the letter for Fu Hexiang.

This was a letter he had written to Lu Zichong during their relationship, asking him to pass on a compliment to the Ministry of Personnel. The letter described how he would repay Lu Zichong's kindness...

This is not the original letter, but the content is exactly the same as what he wrote.

If Fu Hexiang still doesn't know that his lifeline is being held, he is really stupid.

Lu Zichong’s death is most likely related to the Xu family.

The Xu family didn't deal with him, not because they were afraid of his official position, but because they hadn't decided when to kill him.

When he confirmed that the knife was at his neck, Fu Hexiang was completely panicked.

He was in a panic and went to Zhou Dinghuai for help. The Zhou family invited him to drink tea for the whole afternoon, but no one told him that Zhou Dinghuai was not at home at all.

……

Fu Hexiang successfully predicted his fate.

When he couldn't find a savior in Changjia Mansion and tried hard to send a letter to the court, hoping to present the matter of grain seeds to the emperor in order to obtain protection, Changjia Mansion was attacked by bandits.

Banditry, banditry, if you talk too much about it, it will really come.

In early April, a group of well-trained "bandits" suddenly came from the west of the city, quickly captured the city guard office, held Fu Hexiang at knifepoint, and openly took away all the food, property and important documents in the government warehouse.

The bandits were very efficient, had clear targets, struck quickly, and retreated quickly.

When the government troops received the news and rushed from the Heqing camp, they could not find any trace of the bandits except for the bodies of Fu Hexiang and several of his staff members found in the suburbs.

Although this group of bandits did not harm civilians, the killing of the city gate guards and the robbery of the prefect were enough to make the people of Changjia Prefecture panic.

Many families who moved from Heqing County hurriedly moved back to where the government troops were stationed.

Locals in Changjia County like Xu Siyu could only close their doors and hope that the bandits would not come again, or if they did, they would rob the government instead of the people like they did this time.

This drama of bandits robbing officials lasted for an entire summer.

A total of three prefectures and nine county towns were robbed and killed. Wherever they went, they robbed officials but not civilians.

The imperial court was furious and mobilized troops from the three prefectures to encircle and suppress the bandits, determined to wipe out all the bandits.

But once they entered the Fuling area, the forests were deep and dense, and the caves were deep and secluded. The government troops, who were only good at guarding the gates, could not find the way up the mountain at all. Instead, they were ambushed by mountain bandits and lost a lot of combat power.

"Do you think this bandit is not a bandit?" Xu Siyu held the account book and chatted with Lin Yiqing about the recent bandit problem.

Although there was a riot, the turnover of the shops and caravans under Chang Jiafu was only slightly reduced, and overall it was still acceptable.

It seemed as if everyone had agreed that the bandits were only against the government, and after a few days of panic, everyone's life returned to normal.

"Long Wu said that these people are real gangsters, but he didn't understand why they didn't rob the rich and oppress the poor, but instead went against the government." Lin Yiqing replied.

In Qinglong Village, the youngest sons of four old village chiefs followed Lin Yiqing out to hang out.

Long San, Long Wu, Long Jiu and Long Shisan are the new guards of the Xu family.

These young men were not really interested in the money given by Lin Yiqing, they were just young and wanted to leave the village and broaden their horizons.

Now they have learned a lot. These four dragons have never seen the way other people do things on the mountain.

One, or maybe several hilltops, went down the mountain to rob the government office, and when they returned to their nest, they were able to tie up nearly 40,000 government soldiers.

They brought the information from outside the mountain back to Qinglong Village, but were questioned by their father and several leaders for bragging.

No matter how dynasties change, these bandits will not be so stupid as to target tough guys.

[This is definitely not a mountain boss!] Several leaders replied, telling the four dragons to be careful!

"Then, could it be the anti-... army?" After all, Xu Siyu was cooperating with Sima Yang and would not call those people traitors.

Just because they don't disturb civilians, the word "thief" is not appropriate.

Compared with these bandits who had no intention of harming the people's livelihood, it was the government warehouse that was robbed and the court ordered all places to levy additional money and grain to compensate for the "crime of failing to protect the warehouse", which made Xu Siyu laugh.

I really don’t know who is the thief and who is the official in this world?

The money and grain paid by the people were stolen from the government warehouse. Does this mean that the people failed to provide adequate protection?

Without even a decent weapon, how could he fight against the bandits who could kill the government soldiers with one sword and guard the government warehouse?

This charge clearly stated that the people here should not live and should be killed by bandits.

Because he did not die, he had to pay an extra year's tax to atone for his sin.

Perhaps there were bandits living in her house, Xu Siyu felt that she was possessed by bandits and wanted to use a knife to kill the government officials.

The Xu family had money and grain to pay taxes, but under the Changjia Mansion, many people were forced to cry out in despair, wishing they had been robbed by bandits.

I don't know what success this bandit suppression campaign can achieve.

"Mother, mother..." Three-year-old Lin Xuan ran from the outer courtyard into the study room crying. "Uncle Thirteen, hit me!"

Long Shisan is the youngest of the four dragons, a fourteen-year-old boy who likes to stay in the trees every day and observe the lives of the people down the mountain.

When Lin Xuan saw him take off, he was so obsessed that he said he wanted to learn from him.

Xu Siyu was so happy to be able to hand over this energetic son to her that she immediately arranged for him to become her disciple.
