However, they were disguised as ordinary people and disguised as caravans, so they didn’t attract much attention. Mei niansu personally brewed some tea while Luo Yiwu stood by the side and waited on him. “Any new discoveries?” Tang Wen asked after taking a sip of tea and sitting down. “We’ve already sneaked into Liang Zi village and discovered that the village has been heavily guarded recently, as if they’re on guard against something. ” Yan Beitian said. “Could it be that they really robbed the provisions?” Tang Wen touched his chin and said. “It’s suspicious, but we’ve also inquired about some things in the government. Liangzi village was just as the rumors outside said. They would occasionally Rob merchants, but they didn’t hurt anyone and only robbed their belongings. Because they didn’t cause too much harm, and they had a lot of people. Therefore, the government is afraid of trouble, so it’s better to avoid trouble and turn a blind eye to it. ” Yan Beitian said,”of course, liangzi village’s terrain is dangerous. It’s easy to defend and difficult to attack may be one of the reasons. If the government wanted to exterminate this group of people, they would also suffer a lot of losses. They’ve been squatting on that Hill for over a hundred years. ” “They don’t seem to Rob the government’s things. Although it’s only a hundred miles away from Red River City, it’s not far. Why are you so bold this time to actually Rob the official provisions?” Luo Yiwu said. “Yeah, I’m also puzzled. Isn’t Liang zisai afraid of being exterminated? However, other than Liang zisai, there were no other large – scale Bandit hideouts within a hundred miles of the area. Although there were still a few groups of bandits, their numbers did not exceed 200. How can they defeat the soldiers escorting the rations?” Yan Beitian nodded. “That’s why this matter is even more bizarre. Could it be that they were bandits from underground? That was impossible. “There’s another point. We, including the officials, don’t think they will Rob the provisions. But they just did it. ” Tang Wen said. “Yes, the past few years have been a disaster, and the situation has been chaotic. Even the number of travelling merchants had decreased. Even if they wanted to Rob, they had no target. In order to make a living, they had no choice but to take the risk and lay their hands on the official provisions. ” Luo Yiwu nodded and said. “But when we entered, we didn’t find any place to store grain.” Yan Beitian shook his head. “How did you find out? Only the heavens would know if you just casually stuffed it into a cave. ” Luo Yiwu said. “That’s true. Liang Zi village is full of forests and there are many caves. ” Yan Beitian nodded. “We have to go in and take a good look. The key is to get close to the core people in their stronghold. For example, the Lord and vice Lord. ” Tang Wen said. “The chief is the hidden Tiger ‘MA Yao’, and there are two vice – Chiefs, one is called sun hongqing, the other is called ‘ye Xiangyin’, and the head chief is called Zhu Ziyun.” Yan Beitian said. “How’s his power?” Tang Wen asked. “I haven’t fought with him, so I’m not sure. Why don’t we capture a few and interrogate them in secret?” Yan Beitian shook his head. “They’re hiding in the village, how are you going to catch them? If a few people go in, they won’t be able to return. ” Luo Yiwu shook his head and said. “I’ve been keeping a close eye on them these days and even sent drones into the stronghold to investigate. It was said that the chief Bandit had fallen ill, and they had secretly sent people to Red River City to ask for reinforcements. He went to the Li’s medicine Hall. It was said that the second manager of the Li’s medicine Hall, li mingkong, was called a Divine Doctor by the people on the Red River. He had saved many people. However, li mingkong had not been in charge for more than ten years and often traveled far. Last time, they sent someone to invite him, but apparently, he hasn’t returned yet. ” Yan Beitian said. “He hasn’t sat in the hall for more than ten years, and he often travels far away. There shouldn’t be many people in this world who know him.” Tang Wen said. “Of course. It’s just that I’m still famous.” Luo Yiwu nodded and said. “What do you guys think? why don’t we pretend to be li mingkong and sneak in to check?” Tang Wen said. “But will the Li family agree?” Yan Beitian said. “Of course not. But there’s always a way. Go and check on the Li family. Ask Dongfang Ming to do it. He used to be an arrester, so he has experience in this area.” Tang Wen said. Yan Beitian nodded and took out a walkie – talkie from his Void Bag to talk to Dongfang Ming. “The authorities will definitely know more about Liang Zi village than us.” Luo Yiwu said. “We don’t even know the officials of the Red River Prefecture.” Tang Wen replied. “Can you find a reason to get in touch with them?” Luo Yiwu said. “It’s easy to find a reason. Just say that we accepted the case of the chief officer’s office to assist in the investigation. When the time comes, I’ll get someone to inform them, and I’m sure Wan Hansong and Xiao shenguo won’t object. ” Tang Wen said. “Of course, the old master has spent a few million taels.” Luo Yiwu nodded and said. “The Red River Prefecture’s magistrate is called ‘Zhao Duan’. He’s also a first – rank Viscount and seems to be the son – in – Law of the Chu family. It’s probably because of this reason that he’s still holding the title of Tongzhi of the provincial command division, a secondary third – rank high official. ” Yan Beitian turned around and said. “That’s because Red River City is a big city. I heard that it’s always a third – rank official who comes down to take charge of the affairs here.” Luo Yiwu said. “If the provincial commander knows about it, he has the authority to deploy some soldiers within the Red River Prefecture. I’ll prepare the gift tomorrow morning and we’ll visit him. Yi Wu, send the card over now. ” Tang Wen said. Luo Yiwu nodded and went out. “Master, it’s time for dinner. Do you want to eat in the room or go downstairs?” Mei niansu asked. “Let’s go to the main hall and listen to all kinds of sounds to see if we can find anything. ” Tang Wen said. Then, he went down to the second floor and sat down by the window facing the river. Niu Hanzi crossed his arms and stood against the wall with a silly look on his face. Mei niansu waited on him by his side. “Why are you sitting at my table?” Just as he sat down, a fairy – like sister came over with a maid. “Are you looking for trouble? Get lost!” Seeing this, Niu Hanzi walked over and said fiercely. “Alright, step aside.” Tang Wen waved his hand and said to the fairy,”do you have a reservation?” “No, but I’ve never sat here before.” The fairy said. “You see, I also like this place facing the river. Why don’t we just have a meal together?” Tang Wen said with a kind face. “Who likes to sit with you stinky men?” Unexpectedly, the maid said angrily. “If you don’t like to sit, then get lost. It’s your good fortune that the old master let you sit.” Mei niansu couldn’t hold it in any longer and shouted. “Who are you asking to get lost?” The girl’s anger was quite strong and she slapped Mei niansu. However, Mei niansu jabbed her finger and she screamed in pain,”miss, miss …” “Hehe, I didn’t expect you to be an expert.” Sister fairy’s smile disappeared instantly and she raised her hand to slap Mei niansu. Mei niansu pointed at her again, and the fairy’s expression changed. She immediately dodged and Mei niansu’s finger missed. She looked at the fairy in surprise.”You’re not weak either.” “Miss, you’re very arrogant. You even want to test my subordinate’s skills over a meal.” Tang Wen said with a smile. He was secretly nervous. This person actually had the strength of a complete grade three, which was similar to Mei niansu. To be honest, Tang Wen had seen Wan Hansong’s strength as a man, but he had never seen a master like Mei niansu. “I don’t eat with weak men.” Sister fairy said arrogantly. “Then I’m sorry, I’m a weakling. Please go ahead.” Tang Wen said. “Then get lost!” The fairy maiden slapped him. “You hit my master!” When Niu Hanzi saw this, he was unhappy and threw a punch. Pa, the green light exploded, and sister fairy was immediately forced to take two steps back. She looked at Niu Hanzi in shock and said,”Lord Tang is so powerful. He can actually hire two masters.”
