Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

The entire family of the first county magistrate was massacred six years ago. Only his youngest son Meng Jue, who was studying abroad, was not at home and survived.

In his early years, he studied at his ancestral home outside the capital, and only occasionally returned home to reunite with his family.

Therefore, not many people in Qingshui County knew him. It can be said that those who knew him all died at the hands of bandits.

After his family was killed, Meng Jue wanted revenge but was powerless.

Although he knows some martial arts skills, he is far inferior to these bandits.

Just when he was getting extremely anxious, Jin Linwei found him.

He was taken to a secret base for training for two years, and he trained day and night.

Although he has not reached the level of being invincible, he is already a master.

His skin was no longer delicate, but became dark and rough, like a ranger.

After wandering outside for more than half a year, he made the acquaintance of many knights and traveled the world.

In the end, he was severely beaten by another group of people (impersonated by Jin Linwei) and was picked up by the leader of Black Dragon Village.

After being taken back to the mountain village for treatment, he settled in Heilongzhai.

Because he was literate, smart, and good at martial arts, he helped the leader of the Black Dragon Village to take over many of the surrounding small villages.

This made Heilongzhai the largest mountain stronghold in Qingshui County.

Therefore, he became the seventh in command of the Black Dragon Village and the confidant of the chief in command, Black Dragon.

Although every time he saw the boss's face, Meng Jue wanted to stab him to death with a knife.

But Meng Yu knew that even if the boss's Black Dragon was killed, there would still be all kinds of bandits such as White Dragon, Red Dragon, Yellow Dragon, Loach, Toad, etc.

Even now in Heilongzhai, there are still many bandits with great martial arts skills.

The bandits outside are well-trained. Although they are not strong in terms of men and horses, their fighting power is not weak.

In the past two years, there were quite a lot of caravans coming and going, so life was easy.

In order to expand the strongholds in the past two years, the bandits in each stronghold have been capturing able-bodied men and robbing people on the road.

Even if some caravans were not robbed, they either had to pay high tolls or fight to the death, resulting in numerous casualties.

The money earned is often not as much as the money spent, and sometimes even lives may be lost, so more and more caravans stop trading.

There were fewer and fewer business travelers passing by, so these bandit strongholds were able to rob fewer goods and could collect less tolls.

Not only that, these young and middle-aged men went up the mountain to become bandits and missed the farming season.

The food supply also decreased greatly, so these mountain strongholds asked the local people to hand over food.

Last year, they paid 50% of the tax. This year, these counterfeit companies are having a hard time and are expected to pay at least 60%.

The common people work so hard to farm the land, but 60% of their income is taken away from them, which is even more severe than the taxes levied by the government.

Even if there are bandits in the family, the risk is at most 10% less than that of a family without bandits.

Someone in the family became a bandit, so we are short of strong labor and can’t cultivate much land. Our life is worse than others!

In the future, more people will go hungry, and many people will become increasingly dissatisfied.

Under such circumstances, the court sent new officials.

When Meng Jue, the seventh in command, learned that the person who came was the eldest son of Marquis Changning, he knew that the imperial court was ruthless this time and would definitely clean up the bandits in Qingshui County.

Seven days later, Meng Jue took the Sixth Leader of Black Dragon Village to visit all the major mountain villages in Qingshui County.

Invite them to come to Heilongzhai in three days to discuss important matters.

During this period, news continued to come from various sources that the strange behavior of Zhou Jin, the son of the county magistrate Changning Marquis, left them completely confused.

However, some people who came from farming families and some who were forced to become bandits vaguely understood the county magistrate's profound meaning.

Food is the foundation.

Without food, you will starve to death even if you sit on a mountain of gold.

With so many bandits in Qingshui County, a lot of land has been abandoned and life has become even more difficult for farmers.

Similarly, life as a bandit is not easy either.

The method of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs has made Qingshui County a notorious place. Many caravans would rather take a detour to the neighboring Qinglan County than go through here.

If this continues, all the copycats will be doomed.

The seventh in command, Meng Jue, spread the news.

Jinlinwei soon received the information from Meng Jue and would discuss important matters in Black Dragon Village in three days.

Almost all the bandit leaders, big and small, in Qingshui County have returned.

Zhou Jin immediately gave an order that Meng Jue would be given poison.

The recipes for these poisons were found by Jin Linwei from Xuan Mingzi's strange and bizarre "collections".

It is colorless and tasteless when put into water, and nothing will happen immediately.

However, after ten days or half a month, without an antidote, the body will slowly feel unwell.

This situation will last for more than a month, and the severity of the situation may be mild or severe, and the onset may be early or late, depending on the individual's physical condition.

Jin Linwei paid a huge price to open up this intelligence line, but it was worth it.

The Seventh Master and Jin Linwei joined forces to plant drugs underground in the water source for three consecutive days.

In short, all the bandits in Black Dragon Village and those who came to Black Dragon Village must be eaten.

As for the Seventh Boss, he would also eat it to make it look more realistic.

However, Jin Linwei has already given him the antidote. If he feels unwell, he can take the antidote, but Meng Jue does not plan to take it too early.

You can't get the tiger cub without diving into the tiger's den. This way, his identity as a spy can be hidden better.

Gu Xiling felt distressed when she saw Zhou Jin going out early and coming back late every day.

Zhou Jin's skin was a little red from the sun, and Gu Xiling originally thought it would turn darker.

Who would have thought that after someone used a silk cloth dipped in cold water and applied it on their face at night, their hair would become white the next day.

But the weather outside is dry and the corners of my mouth have been a little chapped recently.

Early this morning, when Zhou Jin was about to go out, he was stopped by Gu Xiling.

"Wait." Gu Xiling stood in front of Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin saw Gu Xiling and chuckled, "My wife must be reluctant to let her work hard for her husband."

My wife was so gentle yesterday and even massaged his shoulders.

Gu Xiling rolled her eyes when she heard this. "Who can't bear to part with you? I saw that your lips were chapped, so I put some balm on them for you."

After saying that, Gu Xiling wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then put some light yellow cream on her fingertips and gently pressed them on Zhou Jin's lips.

Zhou Jin only felt his lips were cool and moist, and pursed his lips, "Very comfortable, thank you my lady. My lips are cracked, and it hurts a little when I talk. I don't even want to talk anymore."

Gu Xiling stuffed the ointment into Zhou Jin's arms and said, "Pretend it. Once it dries, apply it on yourself. Don't be too rough."

Zhou Jin quickly agreed, "My wife is right. I will remember this and will definitely apply it. I remember that my wife liked me because I was good-looking. I can't ruin this good-looking face, otherwise my wife will not like me anymore."

Hearing this, Gu Xiling said angrily: "You just talk nonsense!"

Actually, that's the truth.

After marrying into the Changning Marquis Mansion, she was willing to coax Zhou Jin because she was attracted by his looks.

Fortunately, Zhou Jin is easy to coax and is now on the same page with her.

The husband and wife follow each other, and their life is harmonious and happy.

Now that she is pregnant and taking care of the child, she takes care of her husband and child, while Zhou Jin is busy with outside affairs.

A happy and peaceful life is just around the corner.

Of course, the bandits in Qingshui County must be dealt with first.
