Traveling through ancient times.

Chapter 179 Targeted

The materials being escorted this time are very important, especially the cotton and sugarcane seeds. Whether they can survive the famine in the next few years, or how many people can survive this disaster, depends on how much materials can be accumulated in the past two years.

Because the cargo was so important, Liao Qi asked his assistant Zhuang Gu, who he had trained and promoted, to escort it. Unexpectedly...

They had known each other since the Liao family ran an escort agency in Jiang'an County.

Later, the Liao family was attacked by several members of the Huo family and the county magistrate. It was also with the secret help of the Zhuang family that a few of them finally survived.

Of course, because the situation was serious at the time and the opponent's strength was beyond imagination, it was not something ordinary people like them could contend with, and the banker did not dare to show up.

Therefore, Liao Qi was always grateful to Zhuang Gu. When he became the head of the transportation department of Jiangjia Farm, he thought of Zhuang Gu first when organizing manpower.

I never expected that I would actually hurt the other person this time.

…Jiang Yizhou asked Liao Qi to explain the situation in detail, and then asked: "Where are the local officials?"

When such a heinous case occurs, are the government officials all vegetarians?

When it comes to this, Liao Qi gets even angrier: "I've already reported it to the police, but the county magistrate actually said that they still need to investigate. No body has been found, so it doesn't count just based on a few people's words..."

Jiang Yizhou pulled out a scroll from the large jar next to him, placed it on the table, and opened it.

This is the map of Tang County. I traced the route with my finger and then pointed at a place, Mangshan.

“Is this the place?” she asked.

Liao Qi took a look and nodded: "Yes, it's here."

Mangshan is actually a large mountain range in the north of Zhou State, adjacent to Xinli State. It is very large, equivalent to a province.

To the south of Mangshan, there is a mountain range that inserts into the junction of three provinces, opening up a road, which is the transportation hub of several provinces.

There is a section of the road that passes through a valley with steep mountains on both sides. After the valley, one side of the road is against a steep wall and the other side is a cliff.

So this place is very suitable for robbery. There is no need to do any post-mortem work afterwards. Just throw the bodies into the abyss.

The bandits had their backs to Mang Mountain and quickly retreated into the mountains after the robbery. The forests there were deep and the grass was dense, and many places were sparsely populated. Large smoke bubbles were formed by fallen leaves over the years.

So on the one hand, it is indeed very difficult for the government here to completely wipe out these bandits, and on the other hand, the government and the bandits have mutual interests and collusion.

Now, not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he implemented drastic reforms, causing the already dissatisfied forces to collude with the suppressed ones to cause trouble all over the country.

On the other hand, the border and coastline were in turmoil. Those people had long wanted to stir up civil unrest in Zhou and then take advantage of the situation.

Now, the major civil unrest has been strangled in the cradle by Jiang Yizhou, but "uprisings" continue in various places, so there are frequent battles on the border and coastline, and they dare not call back the army to suppress bandits on a large scale.

As a result, the bandits in Mangshan became unscrupulous.

Jiang Yizhou frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I remember you passed by here many times before. Why were you robbed and killed this time?"

She was asking Liao Qi and thinking about it herself.

In fact, since her farm and the reputation of the Jiang family became known, Liao Qi's logistics department could go anywhere without any hindrance, no matter whether it was a big bandit or a small road bully, as long as they used the "Jiang family" banner. They would give the Jiang family a wide berth.

So, suddenly, the caravan under Liao Qi was robbed and everyone was killed. Jiang Yizhou felt extremely sad and at the same time, he had great doubts in his heart.

You have to know that her and the farm's reputation is now stronger than before. Who dares to openly go against her farm? Is it targeting her?

Liao Qi said: "I asked someone to investigate. It is said that the remnants of the Viper Gang and the remnants of those forces that were seized and suppressed after the new emperor ascended the throne have all gathered in Mangshan. It is said that it has become a small court there, and it has many connections with local wealthy families and even officials, and..."

He paused and continued, "Xinli also has...contacts."

Jiang Yizhou clenched his fists. It was like this!

Liao Qi: "Master, what should we do now?"

Liao Qi has been on his own in the past two years and is quite powerful. Both land and river transportation are going very smoothly.

Not only did he restore the Liao family, he also revitalized and pushed the family's escort business to new heights.

Unexpectedly, overnight, all his achievements were brought back to reality by a robbery - just like ten years ago, he was still helpless in the face of those thieves.

At this moment, the only person he could think of was the head of the family.

Jiang Yizhou paused. Those people really deserved to die.

However, the first thing she had to do was to let Liao Qi comfort the families of all the victims. She couldn't let her men feel disheartened.

After Liao Qi left, Jiang Yizhou continued to study the map on the table.

These were collected by Wei Ke's information department and are more detailed than official maps.

According to the map, there is only that main traffic route leading into Mangshan from the Zhou State. Those bandits occupy the geographical advantage, and it would be difficult to capture the city even with the intervention of the army.

This place connects three provinces. It is very roundabout to get there from other places, and the road is even more difficult to travel on.

If these bad guys are allowed to continue occupying the main roads of Mangshan, it will be very inconvenient for the transportation of materials in the future.

Therefore, she must take this node.

Of course, under the current circumstances, the government is unreliable, and we cannot expect the court to send troops over.

Her only option now is to go there herself and avenge the dead.

Eradicate this cancer.

Xiao Tongzi sensed the strong mental fluctuations of his host and asked, "Zhou Zhou, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Yizhou said with a hint of pride, "Of course I will kill him."

Xiao Tongzi: "What I mean is, do you want to take those trained guards with you, or..." go it alone.

Jiang Yizhou said: "The situation in various places is very tense now. We are afraid that ordinary people will be instigated by people with ulterior motives to cause trouble like the Yunshan incident. Therefore, the guards in the farm must not be moved..."

At this point, Jiang Yizhou even suspected that the other party deliberately robbed and killed her freight convoy in order to lure the tiger away from the mountain and then attack her farm.

After all, the farm now not only houses various workshops, but is also a large collection point for all materials. Once it is captured, years of operation will be destroyed.

Xiao Tongzi: "It's so spacious there. If you're alone..."

Jiang Yizhou interrupted the other party, "Don't we still have you? With your deduction and my martial arts, we can catch them off guard and not leave a single piece of armor behind."

"Now my martial arts attainment has reached the Xiantian realm, half a step into the transformation realm. The upper limit of my life force has also reached the level of the original owner. All the internal energy I have cultivated is stored in my Dantian. Putting aside the combat power of my body, these internal energies can be used at least ten times a day, killing people without being seen."
