It's time for a showdown, all the powerful officials in Beijing are my students!

Chapter 382 381 A chance encounter planned by Xiao Baihua

That day, a group of young ladies saw Li Ziyu and Kong Xun pretending to be two traveling students. They were all a little distraught after returning home, and they felt as if they were going to miss Pan Lang for the rest of their lives.

In particular, Si Lingling, the young princess of Prince Liang's palace, and Xin Weiwei, the young lady of the county guard's family, while secretly competing with each other, took action against Li Ziyu and Kong Xun not to be outdone.

Xin Weiwei, a delicate little white flower, had an accidental encounter. The carriage going to the temple broke down on the way. It happened that Li Ziyu and Kong Xun, who were going to the temple to visit the temple, were passing by and were stopped.

An Xin and others saw Xin Weiwei bashfully greeting the two of them from a distance, stopping them to ask for help. Jiang Zhou, with his sharp tongue, couldn't help but tut:
"I passed by so many people in carriages just now. Could it be that the young lady from the county guard's family guessed that they were all hard-hearted, so she didn't stop to stop the carriage and ask for help. She knew that Li Mianpai and that person were so thoughtful and willing to save her from danger."

"Pfft." An Xin said, "How good-hearted are you, Senior Brother Li?"

Zhu Shijing glanced at his cousin who was looking at the sky expressionlessly.

He looked tired of the world, as if he was going to transform into an immortal in the next second.

Everyone looked at Kong Xun who was standing next to him. He had a gentle and gentle temperament. He gracefully extended his hand to invite Xin Weiwei to get on their carriage back to the city. However, he and Li Ziyu chose to sit outside the carriage to avoid suspicion.

Seeing Xin Weiwei's eyes filled with tears, she felt pitiful for Chu Chu, but she kept secretly glancing at the passionate eyes of the two beautiful people, and Li Ziyu and Kong Xun secretly frowned.

An Xin: "There's nothing left to do, go back."

"Cousin, what should we do next?" An Rui raised his head and looked in the direction of the temple, "It seems that the temple there is very famous, how about..."

"Ah!" An Rui: "Cousin, you are too cruel."

"I still want to rely on this face for the rest of my life, but I can't let you break it."

An Rui moved back with a scared look on his face. Zhu Shijing and Jiang Zhou, who were squeezed, looked at each other and pushed him over without mercy.

"You...you..."

Facing the two raised fists, An Rui chose to swallow his anger and shrank next to the relatively gentle Leng Xiangbai.

An Xin raised his eyebrows proudly, and then said seriously: "Do you need a reason to beat you, who never uses your brain?"

"Why am I losing my mind? Cousin, you underestimate me." An Rui curled his lips to express dissatisfaction.

"Xiang Bai, tell this bastard, why can't we travel around here, see the scenery, and go out for a swim?"

An Xin saw understanding in the clear eyes of the other people in the carriage. Compared with his ignorant cousin, this guy seemed even more stupid and ignorant.

Leng Xiangyang smiled slightly and answered for the confused An Rui: "We are wanted by the government because we escaped on the way to the exile village.

Our portraits are posted on the city wall. Junior Brother An, are you sure you want to go to the temple this time? "

An Rui froze and scratched the back of his head, then realized how stupid he was.

"Hehe...hehe...it's better not to go."

Leng Xiangbai and Zhu Shijing Jiangzhou also laughed when they saw him like this.

Knowing that he has no ambition, doesn't like to use his brain, and likes to be happy, everyone thought that they would just take more care of this junior brother in the future.

"Go back," An Xin glanced at the direction Li Ziyu and Kong Xun left, and said quietly: "Those two are not fools. They know what they do, so we shouldn't worry about them."

She didn't believe that Emperor Sheng'an didn't place a few secret guards with high martial arts skills beside Kong Xun, the dragon egg.

Even without An Xin, four people were transferred from Qinglong and placed in the dark to protect Li Ziyu and Kong Xun to prevent any accidents from happening to them.

Liu Huai, who acted as the groom, drove the carriage slowly away towards a remote and barren mountain village.An Xin came here for a while and found that Lingnan, a barbaric place of exile, did have a harsh environment as rumored, with many poisonous insects and high temperatures.

The people also lacked knowledge and education, and it was called a barbaric land.

But this is only the bad side of this place, and An Xin discovered through the map of Lingnan that the geography and environment here are very similar to the current South China region.

The weather here is humid, with more rain all year round, excellent water resources, and a hot and light climate that is obviously suitable for growing rice.

It is said that rice is grown in many places in Daqian. I don't know why, but here in Lingnan, Anxin saw that most of the fields planted were crops similar to corn and wheat in the north.

An Xin remembered that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, a book called "Foreign Objects" recorded that the climate in South China was suitable for growing Jiaozhi rice.

It ripens again in summer and winter, and farmers plant it again when it is one year old, so it is called double-cropping rice.

An Xin looked at the narrow and bumpy road that could only lead to a carriage. The village houses not far away on both sides were dilapidated and looked extremely depressed in the autumn wind.

Most of the villagers walking on the road were sallow and thin, their clothes were patched and ragged, and their eyes revealed exhaustion and despair.

"parking."

"Xu" An Xin suddenly said, and the driver Liu Huai hurriedly grabbed the reins to stop the bay horse pulling the cart, "Is there something wrong, sir?"

"Yes." An Xin opened the carriage curtain and stepped out of the carriage, "I want to visit the village over there."

Leng Xiangbai and others also got out of the carriage.

An Rui: "Cousin, why are you going to that village?"

"Don't you think the expressions on the faces of those villagers are too desperate and angry?" An Xin looked at the other people and said.

Leng Xiangbai and Zhu Shijing looked carefully at a group of people standing or sitting under a big tree at the entrance of the village. There was indeed sadness, anger, and despair in their faces and eyes.

"Chief Xiaoshan, do you think something happened to their village?"

An Xin nodded, and she already had a guess in her mind.

At this time, the villagers under the big tree at the entrance of the village also noticed that An Xin and others were walking toward them with a carriage behind them.

"No... those bandits are not here to steal food, are they?" A villager said with a trembling voice.

"Most of the grain we harvested this year has been snatched by them. If they still come to snatch it, I will fight with them."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu""The woman leaning on the big tree cried bitterly: "We are not letting people live anymore. They come to rob us of the food every year as soon as we harvest it. When will this end!"

“Every winter, due to the lack of food, some elderly people choose to commit suicide in order to save food for their children and grandchildren so as not to starve to death.

This year the bandits are even more vicious than in previous years. In the past, they at least left some food behind, but this time they came to rob us and took it all away as soon as they saw it. This really left no way for us people to survive. "

In the distance, An Xin heard miserable yelling and crying.

Sure enough, as she had guessed, the food that had just been harvested in the autumn in this village was just like what Erhu said in the news.

They were robbed by bandits who were eyeing the people's harvest.
