Li Xiaolan smiled sweetly and ignored Qin Feng's shameless flattery. She glanced at the map of Beixi County spread out on the desk and Yinggang Mountain, which was specially marked by Qin Feng. She understood what Qin Feng would do next, and immediately A warning: "Although the one hundred guards you brought from Kyoto are extremely powerful, if they enter Yinggang Mountain rashly, they will definitely pay an unacceptable price."
"In addition to the complex terrain of Yinggang Mountain, the various forces entrenched in it cannot be underestimated."
Qin Feng arrived here for the first time, and all his understanding of Yinggang Mountain was based on Ning Hu's dictation.
Now that he is about to attack Yinggang Mountain, Qin Feng's mood is undoubtedly heavy.
But when he heard Li Xiaolan's words, Qin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, he drank up the chicken soup in one breath, and said excitedly: "Third sister, it seems that you know Yinggang Mountain very well? What is going on with the so-called forces? Come on! tell me the story."
The corners of Li Xiaolan's mouth raised slightly, outlining a profound arc, and she said calmly: "It's not impossible to tell you, but I have a condition."
Because the information from Yinggang Mountain is extremely important to Qin Feng.
On a smaller scale, it is about the peace of Beixi County.
Speaking more broadly, it is related to the rise and fall of Qin Feng's honor and disgrace.
Qin Feng knew that he had no room for bargaining, so he simply slapped his chest and said confidently: "Don't say one condition, even ten conditions are fine."
Hearing this, the smile on Li Xiaolan's face grew wider: "Well, as you said, grant me ten conditions. But I only need to fulfill one right now, and the other nine will be given to me when I need them in the future. I’ll just cash it in with you.”
Qin Feng was staggered and looked at Li Xiaolan in disbelief, wailing: "Sister, I am just being polite, but you are so rude!"
Li Xiaolan burst out laughing, stretched out her hand to pinch the tip of Qin Feng's nose, and twisted it back and forth twice. She looked like she was doting on him, but in fact, she was sinister: "We are all family members, why should we be polite? Let's get back to the point, is this condition difficult to say or simple to say? It’s not easy, if you run your business well in Beixi County, it will happen naturally.”
Hearing this, Qin Feng had a vague premonition of something, and asked in a low voice: "Is it taking you and your mother back to Beijing?"
Li Xiaolan directly reached out and touched Qin Feng's head, her eyes full of relief: "As expected of my brother, he is indeed smart."
Qin Feng was so depressed that he wanted to die. Even if the Ni Bodhisattva could not save himself from crossing the river, how could he still be able to bring Qin Cheng and Li Xiaolan back to the capital?
Besides, the only way to bring the two of them back to Beijing is for the imperial concubine to relent.
The "eldest prince's death" issue back then had always been a concern for the imperial concubine, and there was no need to discuss the matter at all.
To put it bluntly, this matter is even more difficult than managing Beixi County itself!
but……
Qin Feng has always liked to write bad checks.
Whether we can do it or not is another matter. Let’s agree first and get the information about Yinggang Mountain before we can do it. At worst, we will just default on the debt in the future.
They are both siblings. Could it be possible that Li Xiaolan could kill her?
Thinking of this, Qin Feng slapped his chest and said with confidence: "Just this little thing? Easy to handle! Even if the third sister doesn't mention it, how can I watch my mother and third sister suffer here?"
Li Xiaolan took a deep look at Qin Feng.
The look in his eyes made Qin Feng feel hairy on his back.
I always feel that Li Xiaolan and Qin Cheng are the same, with a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through all the lies in the world.
Fortunately, Qin Feng was thick-skinned and shouldered it without showing any signs of timidity.
After all, Li Xiaolan chose to trust Qin Feng. After all, besides this younger brother, who else in the world can he trust?
Li Xiaolan immediately pointed at Yinggang Mountain and said softly: "In addition to Feiying Village, there are a total of four gangs of thieves, large and small. The largest one has more than fifty people, and the smallest one has more than twenty people. .”
Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel scared.
If he rashly breaks into Yinggang Mountain and is besieged by these gangs of thieves, it will be a big deal!
Qin Feng said in bewilderment: "How did this little Eagle Hill become a den of thieves? According to this theory, there are at least six to seven hundred people entrenched in it."
Li Xiaolan sighed softly, her eyes showing a hint of helplessness: "In the final analysis, the problem still lies with Chen Li. Over the years he has been the county magistrate, the entire Beixi County has been in dire straits. Countless people have no way of living and can only live in grass. I don’t blame them for being bandits who make a living by robbing families.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was unhappy: "They may have their own reasons, but when they become bandits and impose hardship and despair on other people in order to make a living for themselves, they have already committed an unforgivable crime. Whether to forgive them or not is up to King Yama, and my task is to send them to see Yama."
Hearing Qin Feng's decisive remarks, Li Xiaolan's eyes were even more pleased. Her younger brother had indeed grown up.
In troubled times, the kindness of women is the most taboo.
Li Xiaolan immediately informed Qin Feng of the terrain of Yinggang Mountain.
Yinggang Mountain is composed of three mountains, divided into East Mountain, West Mountain and Back Mountain.
Feiying Village relied on its large number of people to monopolize the back mountain, while the rest of the gangs of thieves were distributed in the east and west mountains.
If you want to attack Feiying Village, you must first pass through one of the two mountains in the east and west, but these two mountains are the only two Yin mountains in Beixi County, and even in the entire northwest border.
The so-called Yin Mountain means that a large number of fungi and ferns grow in it. In addition, the two mountains overlap each other, trapping moisture in it, and over time it becomes miasma.
Even locals rarely venture close to Yinggang Mountain. If they are not careful, they may be poisoned by miasma.
If you want to wipe out the bandits in Yinggang Mountain, you will need at least five to six times the number of troops.
Qin Feng's guards alone, as well as the small number of border troops and government soldiers temporarily dispatched, may not be able to achieve success.
But this risk must be taken!
Qin Feng directly called Qi Meng and asked him to personally lead two guards and head to Yinggang Mountain first to map out the terrain and open up a safe road as much as possible to prepare for tonight's operation.
As soon as Qi Meng left, the literati recruited last night came to the county government one after another and took office.
Qin Feng briefly arranged the duties and posted the notice prepared last night.
The people of Beixi County are extremely sensitive to announcements.
In less than a cup of tea, people were crowding around the notice.
Before that, every time Chen Li posted a notice, he would search all over Beixi County under clever pretexts. The local people were already afraid, and when they saw the notice, they wanted to revolt directly.
Seeing the notice posted by Qin Feng, the people around him scratched their heads and scratched their heads anxiously.
"Sir, what is written on this notice? Is it another tax?"
As soon as they heard the word "tax", many people present started to wail.
