The monk is hanging up

Chapter 285 First visit to Cangzhou
The boundary of Cangzhou may be slightly worse than that of Liangzhou, but it is also slightly better than Youzhou.Cangzhou is located in the southwest of the capital, where the Xingchenzong sits. From time to time, a small group of Xiqi troops can be seen invading, but it is only a minor disturbance, harmless.

When they first arrived in Cangzhou, the local people all stared at the three of them with strange expressions. Lin Su could tell that they were defensive eyes.

Immediately, not long after, a group of soldiers came to the tavern where they were staying, interrogated, questioned, and asked carefully before leaving. When he asked, he found out that Xiqi and Dazhou were almost the same in appearance. Sometimes I pretend to be people from other states and counties to survey the landforms of Cangzhou, that's why some people are so wary of merchants along the way.

The waiter said in a low voice, "The generals guarding Cangzhou are all blind. Who doesn't know that the biggest wealthy businessman in Cangzhou, Mr. Gou Erye, is a craftsman supported by Xiqi and helps Xiqi convey the information of the Great Zhou Dynasty? The solution is that those generals rely on Master Gou to spend their time and money, so we can only acquiesce."

"Second Dog?" Lin Su muttered, "Conveying information is a felony, and it can't be punished by the Nine Clans. It's impossible for the generals guarding Cangzhou to turn a deaf ear to this matter. Could it be that you made a mistake?"

"You think I'm the only one who knows?" Xiao Er put a rag on his shoulder, and leaned against the door with his hands folded, "I'll tell you, someone once witnessed Erye Gou's butler making a deal with General Xiqi at night, and ran away. I went to the barracks to file a complaint, and guess what... I died in a quarter of an hour, and I died in the barracks, and I looked miserable. I glanced at it from a distance, and there was no good meat on my body, hiss!"

Lin Su probably understood Xiao Er's meaning, not only Er Ye Gou, but also people from Xi Qi in the barracks.He would not believe what he said. The gossip in the rivers and lakes was always exaggerated. Lin Su didn't seriously seek the truth, so Lin Su dared not admit such remarks easily.

"Zhuzi, you're running up to be lazy again, see if I won't unscrew your ears." The shopkeeper uttered nonsense below, scaring Xiao Er to leave immediately.

Lei Hu rewarded him with two taels of silver, and the latter went downstairs with great gratitude, feeling like the wind was blowing under his feet.

Lei Hu said: "If what the waiter said is true, there may indeed be Xiqi's spies in the military camp. Should we..."

Lin Su glared, "We are here to tour the rivers and lakes, so we should leave it to the government to investigate cases. I don't like Yue Zu doing it for me."

It is said that he came to travel, but in fact Lin Su came to Cangzhou for another purpose.Chao Wendao once said that he hid a treasure in Cangzhou, and told him the location, and only said that he could fetch it when he was confused about the issue of black and white.

"If someone in the army seeks his own government, and someone in the army sits on a vegetarian meal, then let the emperor bear the impact. He is the king of a country, and it is the biggest mistake to know people. Using the wrong person shows that he has no eyes."

Lin Su said this with some anger.But what he said was not out of thin air. Zeng Qu was the Minister of the Ministry of War, a minister he personally appointed. But as a result, he committed corruption, accepted bribes, and abused his power for personal gain. This was dereliction of duty.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was already riddled with holes, but he was still whitewashing the peaceful and prosperous times. He didn't want to solve the internal and external troubles, but he was thinking about how to stabilize the imperial power.Sometimes, Lin Su thinks that this person is a bit unreasonable, and he cannot be called a virtuous person.

After staying in the tavern for one night, the three of Lin Su set off early in the morning to a hill called Huangfeng Ridge.

Shrubs are overgrown, luxuriant forests and bamboos are cultivated, and flowing water is flowing.

He picked up the mountain spring water and took a sip, it was cool. Just when Lin Su was about to take another sip, a woman's cry for help sounded from the mountain, "Don't... help, help..."

Lin Su tilted his head, and Lei Hu understood. He immediately jumped several times and heard the ups and downs of screams. Not long after, Lei Hu had rescued a weak woman.

"Thank you, hero, for your rescue. The little girl can't repay her." The woman sobbed and saluted Lin Su, her appearance was quite pretty, and she was already considered a beauty in the countryside.

"Tell me about it." Lin Su said lightly.

The woman spoke up.

It turned out that she was from a village in the west, and her family was having dinner when a few Xiqi soldiers broke in suddenly and killed her family without any explanation. Panicked, she ran away through the window.

In the end, she saw the devastation of the village. A group of Xiqi soldiers massacred them. Men, young and old, were all strangled. Women who were pretty were arrested. She saw with her own eyes that the villagers were so humiliated that they bit their tongue suicide.

"Which direction is the village?" Lin Su asked.

The woman pointed in a direction, and the four of them went together.I saw the houses in the mountain village burning blazingly, and Xiqi's soldiers were still busy, the corpses piled up into a mountain, and they were busy laying firewood for the fire.

From a slightly larger thatched hut, two men came out with evil smiles and adjusted their belts, half of a woman's distraught face was reflected at the door.

"Kill." Lin Su ordered.

Lei Hu took the lead, and with the impact of his iron fist, a Xiqi soldier became a meatloaf in an instant.Ding Jiu used his sword scriptures, and 64 sword qis harvested the fleeing soldiers. Within a quarter of an hour, all the 37 members of the Xiqi team were killed.

"Brother Lin, we found several women who still have pulses..."

When Ding Jiu said this, the woman burst into tears, and she didn't care about anything. She walked towards the direction Ding Jiu said, and saw several disheveled and filthy women lying on the ground, and some of them had lost eyesight , only one is still conscious.

"Xiaoying...Xiaoying, it's my sister who hurt you, it's my sister who hurt you." The woman wailed loudly, and the three of them turned their heads to avoid suspicion, but after seeing the woman's cry, the breath and pulse of the other woman were all shaking. It was a rush, and it didn't take long for my heart to stop beating.

Several other people also died within a short period of time. As the saying goes, there is nothing greater than the death of the heart. Their hearts are dead, their pulses are cut off, and the medicine Shi Danwan can't help them.

The woman burst into tears and fainted, Lei Hu hurriedly carried her delicate body out of the thatched cottage.

Lin Su glanced into the room, and saw that the six women died in a panic, but one of them was a little surprised, probably seeing his relatives before he died.

After feeding him water, the woman woke up and cried heartbrokenly while holding Lei Hu.

"Miss, do you have relatives alive? If so, we can send you to your relatives to reunite." Lin Su said.

The woman shook her head desperately, "All the relatives of the little girl's family have suffered, and there are no relatives alive. If the young master doesn't think the little girl is a burden, I would like to follow the young master and serve the young master."

Lin Su did not agree, "The girl is from a good family, so there is no need to be like this. Although Cangzhou is not considered rich, you can survive with a good family..."

The woman cried again, "My lord doesn't know something. Although the little girl has a good nationality, she is alone and has no support. There is no difference between a good and a low nationality."

She was telling the truth.If a girl's family doesn't have a man, everyone will come to bully her. If she's lucky, she can become a concubine in a wealthy family or a local snake's family.

Lei Hu interjected, "Brother Lin, this girl's family is in trouble and she's alone, why not let her follow us, after all, she's a woman, it's better to take care of someone than us two rough people."

The woman saw the stitches, knelt down and said: "The little girl is willing to be your slave as your servant."
