On an official road from Lingbei County to Chuandu County, a team set off in great force.
There were a lot of people, at least over a hundred at a rough look. These people were not ordinary people, but people from the government.
There were government officials on guard at the front and rear, and in the middle was a luxurious carriage that could accommodate four or five people.
From a distance, it looks very majestic. If there are locals here, they will definitely guess who is sitting in this carriage.
A great talent in Lingbei County, the famous Su Qi Ansu Juren.
With Su Qi'an's status in Lingbei County, he was the only one who could ride in the county magistrate's special carriage.
A large number of government officials were escorting them, and the momentum of the team could be felt even from a distance.
What is important is this kind of momentum. Ordinary people will avoid it as soon as they see it, and they will never dare to do anything extraordinary.
But this is just the thought of ordinary people, such as some desperadoes, assassins, dead warriors, etc., such public assassinations are commonplace.
Sure enough, the mighty team was passing through a dense forest.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
More than a dozen arrows were shot from the woods on both sides, and then some big rocks and logs rolled down.
For a moment, the government officials below fled in all directions, looking like a mess.
Taking advantage of this gap, hundreds of people rushed out of the woods on both sides.
Each of these people held a big sword and shouted, "Kill Su Qian and avenge the brothers."
Hundreds of people rushed down and soon fought with the government officials at the foot of the mountain.
But this kind of battle did not last long. Within a few minutes, a group of sergeants rushed out from the front and rear of the woods.
There were also a large number of these sergeants, and they surrounded the attackers in an instant.
Although the attackers were armed with broadswords and had fierce expressions, they quickly fell into a disadvantage when faced with local sergeants who had many years of experience in suppressing bandits.
After a while, the sergeants and government officials attacked from a pincer attack. It took half an hour to defeat the attackers and capture the prisoners.
But even so, the leader's face was full of dissatisfaction.
But when he looked at the carriage that was turned into a hedgehog by arrows, he laughed for a moment.
"Haha, Su Qian, you also have today, it's not a loss if I can kill you!"
"Humph, don't get too happy too early. If you want to kill Mr., you guys are the only ones who slipped through the net. It's eight hundred years early."
Fang Jingzhi walked out of the crowd and looked at the controlled attacker leader with disdain.
At Fang Jingzhi's signal, the curtain of the carriage that was shot into a hedgehog was opened, and there was no one inside.
"This...how is it possible! How could Su Qian not be here! Our intelligence cannot be wrong."
The big man who was controlled had a look of disbelief on his face. Fang Jingzhi sneered at the big man's doubts.
"I've said it all, just you guys, even if you were born hundreds of years earlier, you're still no match for the gentleman. To tell you the truth, today's matter was brought up by the gentleman."
"It's all about waiting. Those of you who slipped through the net fell into the trap yourself. You don't have to deny your identity. As for the person who asked you to take action behind the scenes, I don't want to know."
"The only one waiting for you is Wenzhan!"
With a wave of his hand, these prisoners were suppressed by the sergeants and government officials. No matter how unwilling and barking the big man was, Fang Jingzhi showed no interest or pity towards them.
This was Su Qian's gift to Fang Jingzhi.
These people are not anyone else, but bandits who have escaped and hidden in Lingbei County.
The success of bandits does not happen in a day or two, and the same is true for suppressing bandits.
Even if Su Qian used absolute power to suppress the bandits and force them to surrender, there would still be some stubborn diehards left behind in the end.
Run away in advance and lurk in secret.
Su Qi'an would not stay in Lingbei County forever and had no time to spend time with them. Before leaving, he used this trick to force these die-hard elements out and hand them over to Fang Jingzhi to eradicate them completely.
These diehards hate Su Qi'an, but they won't take the initiative unless they are absolutely sure.
To make them risk their lives, there must be a sponsor who provides information and rewards.
As for who the financial sponsor was, Fang Jingzhi guessed it without Su Qian'an having to tell him.
Who else could it be besides the Wei family?
This is why Fang Jingzhi is not interested in these die-hards at all.
The Wei family, such a huge force, cannot be brought down in a short while.
Even if these bandits were forced to testify against the Wei family, it would be of no use. Who would believe the bandits' testimony?
What Fang Jingzhi can do now is to eliminate uneasy factors in the rear for Su Qi'an.
These die-hards just killed him, which also removed obstacles for him.
Fang Jingzhi stood there, raising his head and looking into the distance with a sigh.
"Mr. Su, you are always the one who can bring surprises to Xiaguan. Xiaguan is also waiting for the good news in Sichuandu County, sir."
…
At the same time, a very ordinary carriage moved forward slowly on a small road.
There was only one groom in this carriage, followed by only a dozen servants in front and behind.
It seemed like it was just a merchant's home with some money.
There are not many small merchant houses like this in Lingbei County, but they are also common.
The trail is not secret, and there are also passers-by passing by in twos and threes.
Even if you encounter them on the road, pedestrians will not look too much at them and rush on their way.
But it was such an ordinary carriage. If anyone knew it, they would definitely find that the coachman was none other than Su Qi'an's confidant Su Yong.
Pulling his eyes in, there were two people sitting in the carriage, chatting and laughing happily.
One of these two people is Su Qi'an, and the other is Ye Chong from the richest family in Lingbei.
No matter who they are, these two people are well-known in Lingbei County. Who would have thought that they would choose to take such a small road.
Turning his eyes, he saw that the servants surrounding the carriage were no ordinary people. Each of them was a master selected from the new army.
The line of sight is longer and more peripheral. Within a radius of five or six miles in front and behind, whether it is a hidden corner or a pedestrian on the path, there is the presence of the New Army.
Although they only brought twenty people with them, the strength of these twenty people allowed them to retreat unscathed even if they encountered a troop of hundreds of sergeants.
As for the larger-scale sergeants, there are some, but it is absolutely impossible to take action against Su Qi'an.
After all, Sichuandu County is still ruled by Daliang. If a large number of soldiers attack a Juren, it will be a rebellion.
No administrative official with any brain would do such a stupid thing.
Not to mention them, not even the rich and powerful families dared to do this. The only thing they could do was to do it secretly and use dead soldiers to do it secretly.
The twenty men Su Qi'an led were not afraid of dead soldiers.
Su Qi'an had his own considerations when entering the county town this time, taking Ye Chong with him.
On the one hand, he wanted to learn some news about Qin Huai before his disappearance from Ye Zhong. On the other hand, it was inevitable that someone would have to come forward on his behalf in the county.
After much thought, Su Qi'an found that only Ye Chong was the most suitable person.
As the richest man in the Ye family in Lingbei, Ye Zhong is fond of playing, but he is still very emotionally intelligent when it comes to social interactions.
Moreover, the Ye family has many properties in Sichuan County. Ye Zhong is usually responsible for some of the properties and travels to Sichuan County frequently, so he comes into contact with many wealthy families in Sichuan County.
Having an acquaintance to lead the way also reduces some unnecessary troubles.
Ye Zhong, who was sitting in the car, also had a strong expression of excitement on his face, and his eyes flashed with admiration for Su Qi'an from time to time.
Su Qi'an had been missing for the past six months, and Ye Zhong didn't know where he had gone, but how could he not have heard about what Su Qi'an was doing in Lingbei and Lingdong.
Even just listening to people say it makes my blood boil.
Ye Zhong wanted to meet Su Qi'an several times, but Su Qi'an was too busy and had no time at all.
Just when Ye Zhong felt a little disappointed and was about to give up, he didn't expect that Su Qi'an came and wanted him to go to Sichuan County with him.
Ye Chong agreed without thinking. After Su Qian left, Ye Chong came back to his senses and thought it was just a dream.
This feeling is like pie in the sky. With Su Qian's reputation in the two counties, no one wants to make friends with him.
Ye Chong originally thought that after Su Qi'an became famous, he would disdain to interact with people like him, but Su Qi'an still came to see him, which showed that Su Qi'an had not forgotten him as a friend.
To say he wasn't excited would be a lie. Ye Chong took a long time to recover.
Ye Chong also heard about the purpose of Su Qi'an going to Chuandu County. Firstly, he wanted to find the whereabouts of Qin Huai, and secondly, he wanted to have a good fight with the Wei family.
Qin Huai was friends with him. He knew that he was incompetent and did not go to the state examination with Qin Huai. Who knew what would happen to Qin Huai in the end.
For this reason, Ye Chong also sent people to the city to inquire, but in the end there was no news about Qin Huai, and Qin Huai seemed to have disappeared.
Since Su Qi'an found him and trusted him, Ye Zhong was naturally obligated to do this for Qin Huai.
As for whether he would offend the Wei family in the county, Ye Chong didn't care at all. They had their own issues.
Even if the Wei family covers the sky with one hand, if they want to destroy the Ye family, they will have to pay a price.
To be able to become the richest man in Lingbei, the Ye family is not just for a living.
Ye Zhong looked at Su Qi'an and said, "Brother Su, don't worry. As long as you can use me in the county, just ask, I'm obligated to do so."
Su Qi'an smiled and nodded without saying anything. Ye Zhong did not misjudge the person. He was a person who valued friendship.
"This trip to the county should go smoothly if there are no accidents."
Su Qi'an was thinking this, turning his head and looking outside the carriage, at the end of the front, a huge city appeared very eye-catchingly.
The size of this city is not comparable to the military city in Ningzhou, but compared with the county town below, it is enough to crush it.
This is Sichuandu County, an old city that has existed for hundreds of years.
The mottled marks on the city wall bear witness to the vicissitudes of time, and a rich aura exudes, making people feel quite majestic.
Even so, there were so many people coming and going that it was impossible to see the end. As we got closer, we could clearly hear the noise in the city, which was very noisy.
As expected, Ye Zhong had some connections in the county, so he didn't even need to greet him. He just showed up. The carriage Su Qian was riding in passed directly through the other side door.
It seemed that it was a passage similar to VIP in the previous life, with relatively few people. Shortly after walking out of the passage and entering the city, the steward of the Ye family personally led a group of people to greet him.
The people around looked at this scene with envious expressions.
